(Today's fifth watch, the third watch, it's snowing, everyone pay attention to keep warm)

Liu Xie summoned Yan'er to come to the Heart Cultivation Hall to visit her, which couldn't help but make Yan'er cry with joy.

It was snowing heavily, and there was a stove in the house, and Yan Er snuggled in Liu Xie's arms.

Liu Xie said: "The New Year will be in a few days, but this Yuan Shu has not been destroyed, I asked Sun Ce to go to kill Yuan Shu, but he has fought a few small battles with Yuan Shu at most, and there is no more news." It's really not enough to make a plan. ”

Yan Er said: "Sun Ce has a rebellion, and he will rebel sooner or later when he occupies Jiangnan, he knows that His Majesty is going to borrow a knife to kill people, in order to preserve his strength, he is unwilling to get involved in the dispute of Yuan Shu, but the holy decree cannot be violated, so he randomly sent troops to fight twice, and it can be regarded as coping with it." ”

"Sun Ce, I'm going to kill him sooner or later! But Yan'er, I found that you are gradually becoming more politically minded, and you are beginning to be able to analyze the situation. ”

Yan Er said: "I've been with Your Majesty for so long, and I still don't know anything, isn't that a fool in vain?" Your Majesty, seeing that they are all about to give birth one by one, the concubines are so greedy. ”

"Then let's have one too."

"But the concubine is worried in her heart, although the poison has been resolved, the concubine is still not at ease."

"What did Doctor Hua say?"

"Huashen Medical Book can conceive, so I am ready to get pregnant."

"Doctor Huashen has superb medical skills, he said that he can do it, then he must be able to do it, then you can start preparing for pregnancy."

"I'm still not at ease, in case ......"

"No case, you can prepare for pregnancy with peace of mind, and prepare to give birth to a prince for me." Liu Xie said and kissed her.

"No, Your Majesty."

"Why not?"

Yan Er said: "The son of the queen can be the prince, I haven't conceived yet, you give me the prince, this is not good." ”

Liu Xie said: "Yan'er, without you, there would be no me today, I can't give you the title of queen, I'm already very ashamed of you, this crown prince position must be given to you, unless you give birth to a princess." Rest assured, what I promised you will be fulfilled. However, this matter needs to be kept secret, and you must not say it to prevent you from falling into the palace fight. ”

"The concubine really doesn't mind the name of Your Majesty."

"Don't say anything, it's settled."

Since then, Liu Xie has summoned Yan'er to sleep every day, or to Yan'er's bedroom.

Soon the Spring Festival is coming, Luoyang is celebrating the New Year, Beigong naturally celebrated, and in the first month of the New Year, there is finally good news that Yuan Shu and Sun Ce had a major battle, the Yuan army suffered heavy losses, and the peasant uprisings that broke out everywhere on Yuan Shu's territory made Yuan Shu's army shrink sharply and get worse.

Yuan Shu planned to go north to join his brother Yuan Shao, but unexpectedly Zhang Liao blocked the way in the Beihai area of Xuzhou, so he could only curl up in the Huainan area, spending his days drunk and obscene, and did not want to make progress.

However, this is great news for Liu Xie, as long as the filial piety period is completed, he can issue an order for Zhang Liao to destroy him casually, and he himself will lead a large army to the north to defeat Yuan Shao.

And in the two days of Layue and the first month, in addition to the good news on Yuan Shu's side, Yuan Shao's side also had greater news that shocked the government and the opposition, that is, Liaodong Gongsun Zan was ordered by the imperial court to go south to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

In this way, the Gongsun Zan branch was destroyed.

Yuan Shao took advantage of the victory to pursue and pacify the princes of Liaodong Gongsun Du, and also recovered many Xianbei tribes in the north, as well as a large area of land in the northwest of Goguryeo.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, and the contrast between the two is so great.

Seeing that Yuan Shao's momentum was so great, Liu Xie convened the ministers to discuss.

Chen Gong said: "Yuan Shaoxin destroyed Gongsun Zhan, and conquered a large area of land in Xianbei and Goguryeo, the stone is flourishing, Weichen thinks that it is better to hold on for a few months, and wait for Yuan Shao's morale to be low, and then send troops." ”

Guo Jia said: "Otherwise, in the past, Gaozu beheaded the White Snake and rebelled, and Xiang Yu fought for the world together. Today, my Han family, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, such as the combat power, no longer under Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has ten defeats, and His Majesty has ten victories. Take Yuan Shao only in a blink of an eye. ”

Liu Xie smiled and asked: "May I ask Fengxiao, which ten defeats and ten wins?" ”

In fact, Liu Xie knew Guo Jia's theory of ten victories and ten defeats, in the original history, Cao Cao faced the enemy Yuan Shao, when Yuan Shao's troops were ten times that of Cao Cao, Cao Cao hesitated whether to crusade against Yuan Shao, Guo Jia put forward the theory of ten victories and ten defeats, which greatly boosted the morale of Cao's army.

Now, Guo Jia has put forward this theory of ten wins and ten defeats to him. So Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, but this Guo Jia's intelligence is nothing to say, in the military general system, the intelligence is 98, and he can be ranked as a super-first-class strategist.

However, it is said that Guo Jia told his story of ten wins and ten defeats (note: the original text of ten wins and ten defeats is too long, readers can check it on the Internet by themselves).

Liu Xie nodded and said: "In the past, Yuan Shu was weak, and Feng Xiao persuaded me to put it aside and not to levy it, but now, this Yuan Shu has run out." Now Yuan Shaoqiang, Feng Xiao persuaded me to attack, and there is this saying of ten wins and ten defeats, which is reasonable and well-founded. Gongtai, what do you think? ”

Chen Gong said: "Although Weichen and Fengxiao have different ideas, but the strategy of Fengxiao is not as good as Weichen. ”

Liu Xie smiled and asked, "Do you really have this idea?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Okay is good, no is not good, Weichen dares to face the reality and is willing to admit the reality, Weichen is not as good as Guo Fengxiao." ”

"You ministers can only see that you can understand each other in this way, very good, very good."

Liu Xie said again: "There are still more than a month, the filial piety period will pass, and I will lead the army to crusade against Yuan Shao!" Because Yuan Shao's territory is too extensive, it may not be able to be pacified in three or two months, we must be prepared for a protracted war, and the grain, grass, and weapons must be prepared within a month, and this expedition will be prepared according to the food and salary of 500,000 troops for six months! Ladies and gentlemen, 500,000 troops for six months, this is a lot of money! ”

Zhao Yunchu said: "Wechen heard that Wenweng, the capital of Luoyang, donated three million, and General Yanyun also donated five million dowry, and Wechen didn't have much money, so he donated 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

Hearing that Zhao Yun was going to donate, all the ministers began to clamore for donations, Liu Xie said: "Zhongqing, I understand very well your loyal ministers, but this expedition, I must not accept you a tael of silver!" You work for me and the Han family, and I still have to collect your money, absolutely not. Okay, don't talk about it, this money must not be, and it will not be able to be handed in the future.

Liu Xie refused the donations of the ministers, and said: "As for Wen Weng and Yanyun, one is the national abbot and the other is my beloved concubine, they donate, and I can accept it." But you can't, your money is all in exchange for your life, and you are absolutely not allowed to mention donating money in the future. ”

Zhao Yun said: "The minister's liver and brain are smeared, and he swears allegiance to the Han family!" ”

The ministers echoed in unison.
