(Today's fifth watch, third watch)

Xiahou Ling said a list of killers, and Liu Xie ordered people to search for the people on the list with all their might. Xiahou Ling also said that Cao Cao still had a secret list of killers in his hand, and Liu Xie ordered Wang Yun of Luoyang to interrogate Cao Cao overnight, and he couldn't interrogate this secret list.

Cao Cao knew that he would never have a better day, so he handed over the secret list in order to protect himself, and Wang Yun sent people around to track down the killers on the secret list.

It took a total of three months before and after, and all the killers cultivated by Cao Cao were arrested, some were punished on the spot, and most of them were arrested, convicted and sentenced.

However, it was said that Cao Cao was under house arrest in Luoyang, and he had a headache for a long time, so Liu Xie ordered Hua Tuo to treat him. Hua Tuo said that Cao Cao had saliva in his brain, that is, a brain tumor, which needed to be craniotomy with a sharp axe.

It is said that this Cao Cao was timid, thinking that Liu Xie was going to kill him under the pretext, and he was unwilling to accept Hua Tuo's craniotomy if he was killed. Liu Xie had no choice but to let him give up the treatment and let him go to the pain.

However, he said that in Xuchang, Guo Jia advised Liu Xie to plan to take Xuzhou quickly.

According to his plan, Liu Xie decided to raise a large army to attack Xuzhou. As for whether it is a quick pick or a slow map, Liu Xie has another plan.

The Han army of Xuchang was 200,000, and Cao Cao surrendered 100,000 troops, with a total of 300,000 troops. Liu Xie felt that there were too many soldiers, which was not conducive to management, so he dismantled the surrendered army, half of which was guarded by Wancheng and half by Xuchang.

And the 200,000 descendant Han army, Liu Xie did not plan to take all of them to Xuzhou, but returned to Luoyang in half, leaving only 100,000 troops to attack Xuzhou.

Even so, the rotation method was still used, and the 100,000 troops were divided into two parts, 50,000 returned to Luoyang, and 50,000 defenders of Luoyang were exchanged.

The current Han army is strong and strong, and the rotation method is more conducive to marching and fighting in the near distance.

Everything was properly arranged, and Liu Xie decided to rest in Xuchang for three days, and then send troops to Xuzhou three days later.

During this period, an envoy has been sent to Xiaopei, and Liu Bei has been appointed as the general of Pingdong, the marquis of Guannei, and the internal response to help the Han army to Tulu Bu.

The generals of Xuzhou were also decided, including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Wen Yin and others.

The deputy generals include Pang De, Zhao Ping, Ma Dai and others.

Tai Shi Ci used to guard the tiger prison, but now Xu Huang guards it.

Wen Yin was pregnant, and Liu Xie persuaded her to go back to Luoyang to raise the baby, but Wen Yin insisted on refusing and had to return after pacifying Xuzhou.

Zhao Yun's wife, Ma Feng and Ma Wenlu, returned to Luoyang to recuperate due to physical discomfort and could not follow the expedition to Xuzhou.

The strategists include Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, all of whom were former Cao Jun generals, and Chen Gong also came to Xuchang and went to Xuzhou with the army.

After pacifying Xuchang and before leaving for Xuzhou, Liu Xie has been busy in Xuchang City for the past three days, patrolling around and appeasing the people. Knowing that before the expedition, he suddenly received a letter of invitation from Luoyang Xu Chu and other former Cao army generals, asking to go to Xuzhou and make meritorious contributions.

On the battle book, Xu Chu said: Strategists can use it, why are we and other generals idle?

Liu Xie agreed to Xu Chu and others' request for war, and ordered them to reorganize their equipment, set off overnight, and went directly to Xuzhou City to join the army.

In this regard, some military generals raised objections, saying that these generals have not been in possession for a long time and cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Liu Xie smiled and said: "There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, since I appease them, I want them to serve me wholeheartedly, and the secretaries don't need to worry too much." ”

Why Liu Xie is so confident, in fact, it is not because he has a small dictionary, through the identification of the small dictionary, he can know the loyalty and character value of the generals, so he can make up his mind to use these generals with confidence.

On the day of the expedition, according to the management, Liu Xie chose to start setting off before dawn in the early morning. He did this to prevent disturbance to the people, so that the army of the expedition could gather outside the city, and when the expedition was set out, it could be quickly assembled and set off.

Yan Er went back to Luoyang to recuperate from poison and couldn't come, so Liu Xie was only accompanied by Wen Yin.

In the early hours of the morning, 100,000 people gathered outside the gate of Xuchang, and under Liu Xie's order, the army moved slowly and marched towards Xuzhou.

Facing the morning breeze in July, damp and slightly cool, Liu Xie was full of spirit and hope for the future. There are famous generals to follow, and there are also celebrities to accompany him, what more can he ask for in this life.

Wen Yin on the side of him looked at each other with flirtatious eyebrows.

Liu Xie found out that she was peeking at herself, so he asked, "Why does Yanyun always look at me?" ”

Wen Yin smiled and said: "The courtiers have noticed Your Majesty, and they are getting more and more handsome. ”

"Haha, I've always been handsome."

"No, no, Your Majesty, please forgive your courtiers for their courage."

"Well, I forgive you for your innocence, you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty, the previous majesty was not handsome at all, not only was he not handsome but also not good-looking, but since he married the queen concubine, he has slowly become handsome."

"Yunyan means, without you women, I will never be handsome."

"That's exactly what the courtiers mean."

Liu Xie pretended to be angry and said: "Yanyun is so bold, he dares to say this." ”

"The courtier has confessed, please ask Your Majesty to confess."

"It's easy for me to cure your sins, but I'm afraid of hurting our children."

"Then the concubine will be pardoned because of this?" Yanyun said with a smile, and said, "But several of us are pregnant, and no one serves Your Majesty, how can this be good." ”

"It's only a few days, it's okay, I can bear it."

"How many days? Pregnant in October, the fastest of us should be the queen, and it will take seven months to give birth, can Your Majesty wait? ”

Liu Xie smiled: "Sister Yanyun is underestimated. ”

But I was thinking in my heart, in my previous life, I was still studying at my age, and I couldn't fall in love and get married at this age.

After talking about this topic, Wen Yin said again: "Why does Your Majesty trust Xiahou Ling so much?" Let her serve under my subordinates, why is she unhappy. ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Believe me, sister, I look at people very poisonous, and I don't expect her to be the opposite." ”

What kind of eyes are poisonous, it's nothing more than a small dictionary secretly pointing out, without telling him Xiahou Ling's loyalty and character value, he dares to reuse her? Even if Xiahou Ling is as beautiful as a fairy, he doesn't dare to stay in the army.

"Xiahou Ling's essence is not bad, her knowledge has gone astray, she recognizes a thief as her father, she does not distinguish between right and wrong, and she is loyal and filial." Liu Xie said, "You just say me, I want people to be loyal to me, then I also want to be a clear gentleman with clear grievances and grievances, both ability and political integrity, and it is worth you to come to me." ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true," Wen Yin echoed, "Cao Cao, in addition to his good literary talents and smart mind, is a gentleman without virtue, how can people be loyal to him?" ”

"Yes, *** woman, digging people's ancestral graves, how can you have it?" Liu Xie said that he knew that Cao Cao was indeed such a person in the original history, but the so-called success and defeat of the king was because Cao Cao succeeded, so later generations admired and worshipped him and built temples to worship.

There are people chatting and talking along the way, although Xuzhou is far away and the distance is slow, it is not so boring.
