Soon it was dark, Tai Shi Ci ordered someone to light the lamp and cook, and Cai Yan also put away the piano.

Liu Xie stepped forward and asked, "How is it, has my aunt's song been written?" ”

Cai Yan looked happy and said, "It's almost ready." Your Majesty, although this trip to Hedong is a line of life and death, the courtiers have gained a lot, and they will be able to perfect the eighteen beats of Hu Ji in a few days. ”

Liu Xie was also very happy when he saw Cai Yan's happy appearance, and said, "That's great." But auntie, don't forget my longevity. ”

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, although the courtiers have not yet begun to compose Changle Weiyang, there is already a general framework that has gradually become clear in the minds of the courtiers. Your Majesty, listen to the courtiers......"

The two stood at the bow of the boat, facing the night and the river breeze, Cai Yan said slowly: "Those who are long-lasting, the Son of Heaven is diligent, loves the ministers and the people, and is happy forever. The meaning of Changle Weiyang, my Han subject, Mu Huang's grace, eternal joy, there is no end. ”

Liu Xie said: "Then I have to be a good emperor, so that I can be a great Han and be happy!" If you are like Shang Xuan, you can drink and have fun every day, ignore the government and politics, and it will be difficult for the country to not die, and you will not be able to enjoy it for a long time, let alone Weiyang. ”

Cai Yan said: "That's right, whether it's composing music or writing poetry, it's all related to mood. The theme of Changle Weiyang is cheerful, so ......"

Cai Yan didn't finish saying this, Liu Xie also understood what she meant, so he said: "When I return to Luoyang this time, my aunt will be happy in the future to complete my long happiness!" ”

Cai Yan said: "With Your Majesty here, it will be difficult for the courtiers to be unhappy in the future." ”

As the saying goes: There is no more sad and indignant poems in this life, and Changle Weiyang writes today!

Everyone ate and rested on the boat, and the warship they were on also hoisted its sails and sailed down the river all the way to Luoyang, until the afternoon of the next day when they reached the boundary of Luoyang.

As soon as they arrived at the boundary of Luoyang, several small boats came to greet them, and after meeting, the military generals on the opposite boat shouted: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen Gong, General Zhao Yun, and General Huang Zhong are meeting the enemy on the north bank of Gongguan. ”

Subsequently, the battle situation was reported from afar. It turned out that Chen Gong and Luoyang Wang Yun informed that they had allocated 10,000 elite soldiers to gather on the north bank of the Yellow River to block the Southern Xiongnu Baibo coalition army.

Li Le scolded to himself: "This Mrs. Guo is really indistinguishable from grievances, she was beaten like a dog by Yuan Shao at the beginning, and now she still wants to unite with him." I don't know what to think. ”

Although it has reached the boundary of Luoyang, it is still nearly an hour away from Gongguan. After the welcoming boat and Liu Xie's warship converged, they went down smoothly together.

Cai Yan no longer composed music, took time to enjoy the surging Yellow River, and said to Liu Xie: "This Chen Palace is only returning to obedience halfway, but it is so powerful, the courtiers want to ask, is there a suspicion of trespassing?" And although Wang Yun has the merit of killing Dong Zhuo and guarding Luoyang, does he have the right to transfer troops? Your Majesty, the courtiers are just officials of Yuefu, and they shouldn't have asked about this plan, but Your Majesty is kind to the courtiers, and the courtiers are puzzled in their hearts, and they don't vomit or feel unhappy, so please forgive your Majesty. ”

Didn't Liu Xie think of this problem? Of course, he also thought of it, in current words, this Wang Yun and Chen Gong obviously didn't have a hard time with him as a little emperor. Wang Yun relied on his merits, Chen Gong relied on his talents, if he let it go on for a long time, Liu Xie's imperial power would gradually be lost.

Judging from the fact that Chen Gong offered a plan to relieve the siege through this battle of Hedong, this Wang Yun and Chen Gong must have colluded, otherwise with a newcomer like Chen Gong, even if he has talent, he will not be able to transfer troops from Wang Yun.

When he was planning to kill Dong Zhuo before, Liu Xie was only King Chen Liuwang at the time, and secretly asked Yan'er to persuade Wang Yun to send the maid Diao Chan to Lu Bu, which prompted Lu Bu to be willing to submit and when Liu Xie ascended the throne, he stabbed Dong Zhuo to death with a halberd.

Although this Diao Chan is the maidservant of Wang Yun's mansion, she was sent to Lu Bu as an adopted daughter, so Wang Yun is Diao Chan's adoptive father, so he naturally became Lu Bu's father-in-law.

In the incident of killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun was also regarded as a meritorious minister, and Lu Bu was his son-in-law, so Liu Xie at that time entrusted him with the important task of guarding Luoyang in order to stabilize the situation.

Now it seems that he should revisit this problem, but Lu Bu is a tricky problem, and he still has to find a way to get rid of him when necessary!

But for Cai Yan's reminder, Liu Xie was grateful, but he didn't say it in his mouth, but said: "My aunt didn't know, I was in danger at that time, and Wang Yun Chen Gong was also eager to save me. So my aunt should stop being suspicious. ”

Cai Yan said: "That's the courtier's heart." ”

An hour later, the fleet finally arrived at Gongguan, and Liu Xie ordered the soldiers to escort Tong's mother and son and Cai Yan back to the south bank, preparing to go to the north shore again.

Zhang He said: "Your Majesty, there is a war on the north bank, and Your Majesty's injuries have not yet healed, and the ministers will think that it is better for Your Majesty to go back to the south bank to recuperate, and the enemy army on the north bank can be solved by the ministers and others." ”

Liu Xie smiled: "I'm afraid I don't know something, right?" Although I am young, I have never flinched, needless to say. ”

Zhang He praised and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the ministers will be impressed." ”

Cai Yan wanted to accompany Liu Xie to the north shore, but Liu Xie didn't want Cai Yan to make any more mistakes, so he didn't agree.

However, it was said that Liu Xie, accompanied by Tai Shici and Zhang He, came to the north bank, and he was received by Chen Gong, as well as Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty has suffered this time, and the crime is great. ”

Liu Xie let him be exempted from the courtesy, and entered the big tent of the Chinese military camp together, Liu Xie sat down in the middle seat, and the general generals sat down in turn. Liu Xie asked: "How is the war?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Baibo Guotai united with the Southern Xiongnu in Fuluo, and a total of 200,000 troops gathered in the south. Rejected by our troops on the north bank, they attacked several times, but they were all repulsed by our fiery arrows, and according to the last attack, two hours have passed, and Yichen speculates that the next attack may be launched in half an hour. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Do we only have 10,000 people?" ”

Chen Gong said: "In addition to the 10,000 troops transferred from Luoyang, there are also 2,000 troops who were scattered and returned from the Battle of Hedong, a total of 12,000 troops. Half of them were cavalry and half infantry. ”

Liu Xie asked again: "Gongtai only mobilized 10,000 troops, and according to the river to defend this place, didn't you transfer more troops and horses over?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Back to Your Majesty, first, more than half of the enemy army is the White Polish Army, which is the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, all of them are rabble, and they do not have much combat effectiveness, second, our army has a sharp weapon, and third, our army is blocked by the river, and 10,000 troops are enough." And the minister didn't dare to transfer too many troops over. ”

"Don't dare?" Liu Xie asked, "Didn't you still transfer 10,000 soldiers over?" ”

Liu Xie just said a sentence very plainly, and the frightened Chen Gong hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister deserves death, transfer troops without authorization, please surrender your majesty!" ”
