Chapter 455: A Woman's Heart

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

"Good!" Liu Xiule responded hehehe.

Chen Xi didn't linger any longer, and after saying goodbye to Liu Xiu, he hurriedly walked out. When he left, Deng Yu walked in from outside and asked, "The lord wants to accept Chen Gongcao's calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Seeing Deng Yu coming in, he asked such a question, he must have heard the conversation between himself and Chen Xi.

Liu Xiu rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said, "Chen Gongcao has the authentic works of Mr. Shi You in his house, and I also want to observe it." ”

Deng Yu laughed and asked rhetorically: "If Chen Gongcao wants to send these two authentic works of Shi You to the lord, will the lord accept them?" ”

Liu Xiule said hehehe: "Since someone sent me, how can I not accept it?" ”

Deng Yu continued to ask: "Then after the lord receives Chen Gongcao's calligraphy and paintings, how should he repay them?" ”

"Uh......"

Without waiting for Liu Xiu to speak, Deng Yu continued: "Chen Gongcao came to report Yao Pei to the lord, obviously wanting to replace him and become the Taishou of Guangping. Does the lord really plan to let Chen Gongcao succeed Yao Pei and be promoted to the position of Guangping Taishou? ”

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "I don't mean that. ”

"But if the lord takes things from others and does not do things for them, he will be criticized and his reputation will be damaged; If he really does things for others, he will be suspected of betraying his official position, and his reputation will be even more damaged. The lord is ...... What do you want? ”

Deng Yu asked slowly, but his words had already made Liu Xiu's face red and embarrassed.

Liu Xiu is a human being, not a god, and he also has a greedy and selfish side of human nature, but he has a little benefit, and he can change his mistakes.

After Deng Yu said these words in front of Liu Xiu, he didn't say anything more, sat aside, and asked Long Yuan to help him make a pot of tea, and then he drank the tea slowly.

It didn't take long for Chen Xi to come back from home, and sure enough, he brought two paintings of Shi You's characters.

Liu Xiu appreciated and appreciated, loved and loved, and after reading it, he returned it to Chen Xi. Sure enough, as Deng Yu expected, Chen Xi immediately offered to give these two characters to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu turned his head sideways and secretly glanced at Deng Yu, who was drinking tea beside him. Deng Yu sat there, squeaking and drinking tea, so beautiful that he didn't even glance at Liu Xiu from the corner of his eye. Liu Xiu sighed secretly and said with a smile to Chen Xi: "

A gentleman doesn't win people's love, I can't accept these two words! ”

"Da Sima Yan is serious, as the so-called BMW gives heroes, this authentic work of Mr. Shi You should also be collected by people who know how to appreciate it!"

Chen Xikou was like a river, and insisted on giving the two characters to Liu Xiu, but the latter's attitude was very resolute and he refused to accept it.

In the end, Chen Xi had no choice but to take back his two words and leave in a huff.

As soon as Chen Xi left, Deng Yu on the side smiled on his back, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said: "Lord, the last general is busy with affairs, so he has to go to the camp to inspect immediately!" ”

Looking at Deng Yu, who was eager to patrol the camp, Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Affection Zhonghua is here with me, not to drink tea, but to supervise me!" ”

"The last general will not dare!" Deng Yu bowed again, then turned around and walked out.

Liu Xiu shook his head, thinking about it carefully, he still felt that Shi You's words were really beautiful!

After a day's rest in Guangping City, the next day, the army led by Liu Xiu left Guangping City and continued southward in the direction of Handan.

Wang Langjun set up a heavy defense in Julu City, which was tantamount to giving Liu Xiu a problem, see how he solved it.

Liu Xiu chose to bypass Julu City, regardless of the risk of being cut off from logistics and supplies, and went straight to Handan, so that Liu Xiu was tantamount to throwing this problem back to Wang Lang's side.

Now Wang Langjun is faced with a dilemma.

It is pointless to continue to garrison Julu City, after all, Liu Xiujun has already circled the city and entered Guangping County. If you don't garrison Julu City and return to Handan, you will inevitably meet Liu Xiujun on the way.

Li Yu and Zhang Shen did a good job of defense, beating Liu Xiu's 120,000 with 200,000, and the two of them were still very confident.

But let the two of them have a head-to-head confrontation with Liu Xiu on a narrow road, and neither of them has much confidence in their hearts. So now Wang Langjun, led by Li Yu and Zhang Shen, is in a dilemma, leaving Julu City, and staying in Julu City is not.

The two of them hesitated and hesitated, but Liu Xiujun didn't give them time to make a decision.

The army of 120,000 went all the way south, like a bamboo, crossed the curved beam, and approached Yiyang. Yiyang is located in the territory of Zhaoguo County, close to Handan, if Liu Xiujun captures Yiyang, it is equivalent to soldiers coming to the city.

At this time, Wang Lang was also in a hurry, and successively sent people to issue orders to Li Yu and Zhang Shen, asking the two of them to quickly lead the army under their command, retreat to Handan, and block Liu Xiujun.

Within one day, Li Yu and Zhang Shen received three edicts from Wang Lang in a row, which shows how anxious Wang Lang is now. Li Yu and Zhang Shenyi discussed that they could no longer stay in Julu City, and they had to rush back to Handan to relieve the danger of Handan.

The 200,000 Wang Lang army, led by Li Yu and Zhang Shen, left Julu City in a hurry and hurried all the way to Handan, wanting to catch up with Liu Xiujun, who was approaching Handan.

In fact, they don't need to chase them, Liu Xiu is waiting for them near Yiyang!

The 200,000 Wang Lang army is undoubtedly a big trouble for Liu Xiu, and he must first annihilate the main force of this Wang Lang army before attacking Handan.

Otherwise, their own side will not be able to attack the city with peace of mind, and if they don't get the war right, they will have to fight a tug-of-war, and Liu Xiu doesn't have so much grain and grass in his hands and Wang Lang's army will fight for a long time.

One side has the heart to wait, and the other side has the heart to chase. The Han army led by Liu Xiu and the Wang Lang army led by Li Yu and Zhang Shen finally met in the plain area twenty miles south of Yiyang City.

The scale of this upcoming Armageddon is not small. On one side is a 120,000-strong army, on the other side is a 200,000-strong army, and the combined strength of the two sides has reached more than 300,000.

The army of more than 300,000 faced each other in front of the battle, and the scale was grand.

On the eve of the battle, Liu Xiu specially sent Liu Zhi to Handan on a fast horse, and asked Xie to send troops to help his side.

In the camp of Xie Gong's army outside Handan City, Liu Zhiyou successfully met Xie Gong, and he carefully explained Liu Xiu's strategic intentions to Xie Gong. Liu Xiu was in front of the overwhelming Wang Lang army, he hoped that Xie Gong could quietly leave Handan at night, and detour to the back or flank of Wang Lang's army

can defeat the main force of Wang Lang's army.

After listening to Liu Zhi's words, Xie Gong couldn't help but nod his head again and again, thinking that Liu Xiu's strategy was excellent.

With 120,000 to 200,000, the disadvantage is still very big, who wins and who loses in the end, it is really hard to say, if their own side suddenly appears, storming the back of Wang Lang's army, so that it falls into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, Wang Lang's army will be defeated. Xie Gong only thought about it for a while, and immediately expressed his position, asking Liu Zhi to go back and tell Liu Xiu that he would quietly leave tonight and arrive in the Yiyang area tomorrow, as long as Liu Xiu started the war tomorrow, he would be able to lead the army to arrive and join forces with Liu Xiu to annihilate the enemy army

Liu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed to Xie and thanked him, and then rushed back to the Han army camp outside Yiyang non-stop to return to Liu Xiu. Soon after Liu Zhi left, Xie Gong was approached by his wife.

Xie Gong's wife's surname is Qin, and her name is Ziwen. Xu Xiling's evaluation of her did not exalt her, Qin Ziwen can indeed be called a strange woman. She doesn't know anything about female celebrities and the like, but she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Moreover, Qin Ziwen is also proficient in the art of war, whether it is talent or the ability to lead troops to fight, she is actually above Xie Gong. Qin Ziwen is not very old, only in her early twenties, with a slender figure, a beautiful appearance, and a cold and refined person.

"Madame!" Xie bowed very respectfully to his wife, entered the tent, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Concubine heard that General Liu Zhi and Liu came to visit just now."

"Exactly!"

"What's going on?"

Xie Gong immediately explained Liu Xiu's strategy to Qin Ziwen. After hearing this, the latter immediately frowned. Seeing this, Xie asked puzzledly, "Madam thinks Wu Xinhou's tactics are inappropriate?" ”

Qin Ziwen didn't directly answer Xie Gong's question, but asked, "What does the husband think, how is the Marquis of Wuxin?" ”

"Broad-minded, eloquent, able to bend and stretch, not an idle person!" Liu Xiu was able to endure the revenge of his brother's murder and bow down to His Majesty, and on this basis alone, Xie Bow was full of jealousy towards Liu Xiu.

Qin Ziwen nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Husband Jun has seen Wuxin Hou very thoroughly!" A person with great talent and strategy, and he happens to have heavy troops in his hands, does the husband think, will he have a non-dividing thought? He gasped. Qin Ziwen continued: "Now that Marquis Wuxin has an army of 120,000 and has the support of the monarchs of Shanggu, Yuyang, Zhongshan, Zhending, and Xindu, in time, Marquis Wuxin will have more troops in his hands

Defeat the main force of Wang Lang's army and receive the surrendered troops in Wang Lang's army, the soldiers and horses under Liu Xiu's command are afraid that 200,000 will not be able to stop it! ”

After hearing this, Xie Gong's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously asked, "What does Madam mean?" ”

"Instead of aiding Marquis Wu Xin, it is better for the husband to watch from the wall, and let the Marquis of Wu Xin and Wang Langjun fight to lose both, so that the husband will really eradicate the trouble of His Majesty!"

In Qin Ziwen's mind, Wang Lang is just a clown, and it can be said that ten Wang Lang are tied together, and the threat caused by them is not as great as the threat of Liu Xiu.

What's more, this time Liu Xuan sent Xie Gong to Hebei, the real intention was not to pacify Wang Lang's rebellion, if Liu Xuan really wanted to deal with Wang Lang, how could he only send 30,000 soldiers and horses?

His truest intention is to let Xie bow to restrain Liu Xiu and prevent Liu Xiu from becoming big in Hebei.

Qin Ziwen's words made Xie Gong feel quite empowered. He was stunned for a long time, then exhaled a long breath of turbidity, nodded to Qin Ziwen again and again, and said, "Madame!" The talent of a lady is far better than that of a husband! ”

Now Xie Gong also realized that he had agreed to Liu Xiu's request for help, which was too hasty.

How rare is this opportunity, it can consume Wang Langjun and Liu Xiujun at the same time, you can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so why should you participate in it?

Helping Liu Xiu win the main force of Wang Langjun is equivalent to helping Liu Xiu become bigger in Hebei and further strengthening his prestige and power, which is really a move to raise tigers.

Xie bowed and thought about it repeatedly, and said with a wry smile: "However, Weifu has just promised Marquis Wu Xin, and he will lead the army to Yiyang tonight, and when the decisive battle is held tomorrow, help him!" ”

Qin Ziwen smiled and said: "Wait until tonight, Fujun can send someone to Yiyang to tell the Marquis of Wuxin that our army has discovered the enemy situation near Handan, and they dare not act rashly, so they can only stick to the camp." ”

Xie bowed and smiled bitterly: "How can Wu Xinhou believe such words?" ”

Qin Ziwen sighed secretly, took a deep look at Xie Bo, and said, "The husband is loyal to the Son of Heaven, not the Marquis of Wuxin. "So, if Liu Xiuxin doesn't believe you, what does it matter? As long as you can do what Your Majesty wants to do well, you will naturally be favored and rewarded by Your Majesty. As for Liu Xiu, sooner or later, His Majesty will attack him.
