It is now the ninth year of the Milky Way, that is, the year 197, according to this time, the current Zhuge Liang should be as old as him Liu Xie, also 17 years old, and Pang Tong is 19 years old.

In the original history, Zhuge Liang came out at the age of 21 and was invested under Liu Bei's account, but although Zhuge Liang in the current history is only 17 years old, he is already talented.

Yan Er went out to fight Liu Biao, Liu Xie was most worried about Zhuge Liang, in case Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Biao, it would be difficult for Yan Er to recover Jingzhou.

That's why he deliberately told to beware of this person.

If you can collect it, you will accept it, and if you can't collect it, you will avoid it.

Seeing Yan Er's disapproving look, Liu Xie said: "If you despise this person, then you don't have to go." ”

Yan Er hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the concubine attaches importance to him, and the concubine attaches importance to him!" ”

Liu Xie said: "The specific matters are more complicated, because Liu Biao is also half an honest gentleman, and he can't directly subdue him, and there are still some calculations." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Confidential, you can't say it for the time being, you will know it then."

A few days later, Liu Xiedu summoned the generals to discuss the expedition, and finally decided that in the middle of autumn and September, the troops would go out in two ways:

Cai Yan'er is the general of Pingnan, commanding an army of 300,000 troops stationed in Wancheng, looking at Jingzhou and watching the changes. Chen Gong, the military adviser, the generals Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guan Yu three, the deputy generals Ma Feng, Pang De, Ma Dai, Zhao Ping, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, etc. There are also female generals Xiahou Ling, Lu Qiling and Wen Yin.

Liu Xie led an army of 400,000 to Hanzhong, including 250,000 elite cavalry and 150,000 heavy logistics troops. The military adviser Guo Jia, the generals include Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, etc., and there are thousands of deputy generals.

Ma Teng guarded Liangzhou, Jia Xu guarded Chang'an, and Wang Yun guarded Luoyang. Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou and other places, each with its own arrangements, Liu Bei served in Beiping, and Gongsun Kang served in Liaodong.

Zhang Liao guarded Xuzhou, from Hefei in the west to the East China Sea in the east, strictly guarded against Sun Ce, and supervised the construction of warships at sea.

An auspicious day was chosen, and the expedition was set out on September 18.

The day before, under the organization of Cai Yan, the first movement of the second volume of "Changle Weiyang" was staged in Luoyang for an unprecedented time, boosting the morale of the Han army.

The whole Luoyang was a sensation again, and people from the surrounding cities came to book inns to watch a few days earlier, resulting in all the inns and restaurants in Luoyang being full.

In the early morning of the 18th, at the east gate outside Luoyang City, all the generals gathered and hundreds of officials saw them off. ”

Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is a Han minister in life, and a Han ghost in death, he has done his best, and he has no complaints when he dies." Although Your Majesty is on the march, the old minister is waiting for Your Majesty's triumph in Luoyang! ”

After Liu Xie finished explaining to the ministers who saw him off, he said goodbye to the harem one by one.

The harem said: "I am out on the expedition, and the harem is led by Poria Cocos." ”

Zou Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the concubine may not be competent." ”

Liu Xie said: "If you can't give birth to people, you can do it, don't let me down." After I leave, your harem must be united and live in harmony, and there will be no disputes, so that I will not be able to live in peace on the front line. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"If you let me know who is engaged in palace fighting, I will be severely punished!"

Liu Xie knows the harmfulness of Gong Dou, the beauties of the harem are all his wives, and the children are his own, once there is Gong Dou, the ones who are hurt are his own flesh and blood, so he will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

Usually it is also emphasized again and again with the harem.

There are a total of eleven beauties in the harem, Xiahou Ling, Lu Qiling and Wen Yin followed Yan Er's southern expedition, and there are four.

There are still seven people left in Luoyang, among these seven people, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Zou Yuan and Xiao Qiao all have jobs, that is, they worked together in Yuefu to revise "Changle Weiyang", but only Fu Shou and Dong Lu have no positions.

But he said that Liu Xie had finished explaining and the army set off. Yan Er was nearly seven months pregnant, could not ride a horse, and the car was also bumpy, so she could only sit in a sedan chair, which was carried by eight strong men.

This is also a precedent for the Han army to fight in a sedan chair.

Liu Xie rode a horse to the side of the sedan chair and asked, "How do you love the concubine, can you stand it?" ”

The sedan chair was open-topped, and Yan Er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it doesn't matter if you ride a horse, I'm seven months old, and the children are already firm." ”

"No, not for nine months, it must be born to be the safest."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine just listens to you."

Liu Xie explained to the two female imperial doctors who accompanied him: "You two are the personal medical care of the mother, you must take good care of her, you can't rely on her temperament, in terms of fetal protection, you are the head of the mother." Yan'er, you also have to listen to what they know, right? ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!"

"I'm guilty."

"The concubine doesn't dare."

The two female imperial doctors are Hua Tuo's descendants, and they are deeply inherited by Hua Tuo and are quite accomplished in gynecology and obstetrics. Feel free to let the two of them accompany Yan'er, and Liu Xie is also more relieved.

When it was almost noon, when they came to the fork in the road, the two armies were about to separate, Liu Xie once again explained to pay attention to safety, and in exchange for Chen Gong's explanation, and then in exchange for Zhao Yun and other generals to explain.

After all the explanations were completed, the two armies separated, Yan'er's army marched to Wancheng, and Liu Xie's army marched to Hanzhong.

Liu Xie led the Han army to conquer Hanzhong and Western Shu this time, and did not bring a harem, and Luoyang is about 1,700 miles away from Hanzhong, and if the army marches normally, it will take about seven or eight days.

Liu Xie regretted a little at this time that he didn't bring one or two concubines with him, otherwise how boring it would be to fight in the future.

After three days of marching, when passing through the border of Chang'an, Jia Xu led Chang'an officials and local celebrities to greet him on the road.

The Han army only passed through the boundary of Chang'an, but entered Chang'an, and the place they passed through was also a long distance from Chang'an City.

Liu Xie met Jia Xu and asked: "Jia Wenhe has been grasping the economy in Chang'an for many years, and he has worked hard." ”

Jia Xu said: "I'm ashamed, the old minister can't follow His Majesty to fight, it's really ashamed." ”

Liu Xie said: "Otherwise, the economy is equally important, without strong economic support, how can I easily defeat Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao?" So Lao Jia, you have made a lot of contributions to the battles over the years! Don't be discouraged. In addition, you can prepare grain and grass for me, which is not a matter of three days or two days to capture Hanzhong and Western Shu. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jia Xu said, "the old minister will do his best to make His Majesty have no worries." ”

After saying goodbye to Jia Xu, he traveled for another five days and finally came to Hanzhong.

Hanzhong guards Zhang Lu, believes in Taoism, and creates five buckets of rice, where only five buckets of rice are paid, you can join the religion and enjoy various benefits including medical treatment.

There were many people who joined the church, so they greatly expanded their power and dominated Hanzhong for 20 years.

After coming to the border of Hanzhong, the Han army was not resisted, and was greeted by a Zhang Lu army, which reported that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was on the way to meet the holy car.
