Chapter 475: Plan Ahead

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

I hope that Liu Xiu can go further, not only Liu Jie, but also Liu Lin, the king of Zhao, Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, and the generals Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Geng Yi, Kou Sui, and Ma Wu under Liu Xiu.

However, in Liu Xiu's opinion, now is still not the best time, and he has to continue to wait.

For these persuasive remarks, Liu Xiu treated them harshly and forcibly suppressed them.

Soon, the edict of the Son of Heaven reached Handan.

In the edict, Liu Xuan praised Liu Xiu's actions in Hebei, and praised Liu Xiu to the heavens and the earth, and praised Liu Xiu's achievements to the limitless.

At the end of the edict, Liu Xuan canonized Liu Xiu as King Xiao, and asked Liu Xiu to hand over the military power of Hebei to Shang Shuling to bow down, and he himself returned to Chang'an to restore his life. Let a discerning person look at Liu Xuan's edict, the words mentioned above are basically fake and false, with no practical significance, and even the title of king to Liu Xiu is just a formality, only a king, no fief, that is an empty head

Title!

What this edict really wants to express is to let Liu Xiu put down his military power and return to Chang'an. It can be seen that Liu Xuan is jealous of Liu Xiu's expansion in Hebei, and now plans to take back the military power in Liu Xiu's hands, return to Chang'an, and let him slaughter.

After receiving Liu Xuan's edict, Liu Xiu accepted Liu Xuan's reward and accepted King Xiao's seal, as for handing over his military power to Xie Bow, he wanted to return to Chang'an to restore his life, then I'm sorry, he can't do it.

The reasons given by Liu Xiu are also very sufficient, although he quelled the Wang Lang Rebellion in Hebei, Hebei is far from entering the peaceful and prosperous era.

In Hebei, there are a large number of thief armies, including Tongma, Youlai, Qingli, Gaohu, Chonglian, Wuxiao, Fuping and other rebel armies.

Not to mention the large rebel armies of Tongma and Youlai, there are many of them, even medium-sized rebel armies like the Fifth School Army, the number of them is as high as more than 200,000.

In the entire Hebei region, large and small rebel armies, millions of people, and the people of Hebei are displaced, and the people are struggling to make a living.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu was ordered to come to Hebei to governor, it was his job to quell the rebellion, and it was also his job to pacify the thief army, but now his work is far from complete, how can he give up halfway and return to Chang'an to enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world?

Regarding Liu Xuan's edict, Liu Xiu accepted the title of king, but refused to return to Chang'an to restore his life, and he also gave a reason for refusing to return to Chang'an.

Liu Xiu refused to return to Chang'an, and the envoys who sent the edict couldn't do anything about him. Liu Xiu's attitude made Xie Gong even more convinced that Liu Xiu was disobedient, and he was more wary of him, and even revealed hostility.

At this time, the situation in Handan is very interesting, the original Wang Lang is in charge, and now it has become Liu Xiu and Xie Gong in charge.

The two have a tacit understanding to draw a dividing line in Handan City, Liu Xiu is in charge of the eastern half of Handan, and Xie is in charge of the western half of Handan.

During the period when the two governed Handan together, Liu Xiu and Xie Gong were not idle.

Liu Xiu sent an envoy to Qinghe County in the east of Handan, hoping that Qinghe County would be loyal to him, while Xie Bow sent an envoy to Wei County in the southwest of Handan, hoping that Wei County would be loyal to the imperial court.

Both of them had effective movements. Lian Qi, the Taishou of Qinghe County, expressed his loyalty to Liu Xiu, while Chen Kang, the Taishou of Wei County, expressed his loyalty to Xie Gong. Speaking of which, during the period when Liu Xiu and Xie Gong jointly governed Handan, both of them gained something. Liu Xiu did not listen to the call, which made Liu Xuan very annoyed, this was expected by Zhao Meng, he asked Liu Xuan to hurry up and send a letter to Zhao Yong, the Taishou of Daijun, and take advantage of the gap when Liu Xiu had not yet shifted his attention to Youzhou, take Daijun as soon as possible, and then

Replace Shanggu Taishou and Yuyang Taishou, and then control the entire Youzhou, and cut off Liu Xiu's Youzhou foundation.

Liu Xuan adopted Zhao Meng's opinion, summoned Zhao Yong, and transferred Zhao Yong to Chang'an. Zhao Yong thought that pie fell from the sky, and good things fell on his head, so he left the county town of Sangqian and went south to Chang'an.

Before the others left the realm of Dai County, the news reached Shanggu, and when Shanggu Taishou Geng heard the news, he was taken aback. He hurriedly repaired a book and sent someone to chase Zhao Yong overnight.

The subordinates sent by Geng Kuang quickly caught up with Zhao Yong at the boundary of Daijun and handed over Geng Kuang's letter to him.

Zhao Yong is the Taishou of Daijun, Geng Guo is the Taishou of Shanggu, the two counties are next to each other, and Zhao Yong and Geng Guo are naturally old acquaintances.

It is precisely because they are acquaintances that Geng Kuang's words in the letter are also very straightforward.

Geng Guo helped Zhao Yong make an analysis. The dispute between Hebei and King Xiao intensified, and Youzhou was the top priority.

Now I am transferring you to Chang'an, what is the purpose? Your exploits in Daijun are so great that they have all been passed on to Chang'an, and even the first emperor has favored you? No way!

The first emperor sent you to Chang'an, the purpose of which was to send people to take over Dai County, take Dai County as the foundation, and then control the entire Youzhou. In this way, King Xiao's strength in Hebei can be greatly reduced.

And you, when you arrive in Chang'an, you will inevitably be reused from the beginning, at best, you will have to be idle, the world is at the foot of the world, everywhere is noble, you have no roots and no foundation, where can you be at ease in Daijun to be too guarded?

To put it bluntly, Daijun is in the northern Xinjiang, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and Zhao Yong, who is the Taishou, is here, that is a veritable emperor of the soil, and with a stomp, the entire Daijun trembles.

And when he goes to Chang'an, he, the emperor of the county, will suddenly become a little ant, and any powerful person who looks at him unpleasantly can trample him to death.

Seeing this, Zhao Yong's mind that was carried away by the hot blood quickly calmed down, and at the same time, he was shocked into a cold sweat. Geng's analysis made him feel empowered.

He continued to look back, and Geng Guo paid him the attention that he could not accept the summons of the beginning and could not go to Chang'an to serve, you should go to Handan, meet King Xiao, and bow down to King Xiao, so that you can continue to be the Taishou of the county.

After reading Geng's suggestion, Zhao Yongshen thought so, and immediately changed his mind, no longer going to Chang'an, but going to Handan.

Handan, Liu Xiu's mansion.

That morning, Liu Xiu finished breakfast, sat in the study for a while, calmed down, and wrote two letters in a row.

One is written to Yin Lihua to express his longing, and the other is written to Yin Zhi, asking him to escort Yin Lihua back to Xinye's hometown.

If he doesn't listen to the announcement this time, it will inevitably make Liu Xuan angry, he is far away in Hebei, Liu Xuan can't help himself, he is worried that Liu Xuan will secretly point the finger at his family.

The eldest brother died, the second brother died, the second sister died, the eldest sister lived in her mother's maiden house, and the younger sister was married to Li Tong, and now Liu Xiu was most at ease with his wife Yin Lihua.

Let Yin Zhi take Yin Lihua back to Xinye's hometown, at least the safety can be guaranteed. He handed over the letter he had written to Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting, and asked them to go back with their letters, and to protect Yin Lihua.

Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting bowed in unison, then picked up the two volumes of books written by Liu Xiu, turned around and left. After the three of them left, Liu Xiu sighed, she had been away from home for so long, and she didn't know how Lihua was at home.

He was full of emotion in his heart, and was pondering when Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling walked in from outside, the latter still holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Entering the study, Xu Xiling said: "Lord! Then she placed the teacup on the table and stood aside.

Guo Shengtong glanced at her and asked Liu Xiudao: "The concubine just saw Xuying and them leaving the house in a hurry, and they were all carrying bags, but the husband sent them to travel far away?" ”

The three of them are Liu Xiu's personal guards, and Guo Shengtong is Liu Xiu's wife, and they are often in contact with each other, so they are naturally very familiar with each other.

"Hmm!" Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I'll let them go to Nanyang and escort Lihua back to Xinye's hometown." ”

Guo Shengtong's eyes flashed, and he muttered, "Sister, ...... she?"

Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "Me and the Son of Heaven have gradually become incompatible, and it is safer for Lihua to go back to Xinye's hometown." ”

Guo Shengtong sighed, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why didn't Ah Xiu let Xufei and them pick up his sister to Hebei?" ”

When Xu Xiling heard this, he frowned unconsciously, and at the same time took a deep look at Guo Shengtong.

Without waiting for Liu Xiu to speak, Xu Xiling said slowly: "If Mrs. Lihua goes back to her hometown in Xinye, she will be safe, but if she comes to Hebei, she will be disaster halfway!" ”

Now Liu Xuan is full of vigilance and vigilance against Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu sent someone to send Yin Lihua to Xinye's hometown, which may not be a thing, but once Liu Xiu sent someone to pick up Yin Lihua to Hebei, it would be a hornet's nest.

What do you mean by bringing your family to Hebei? Are you already planning to rebel in Hebei? Liu Xuan would not let him go no matter what, and doing so gave Liu Xuan the truth to attack Lihua.

Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him, Guo Shengtong hurriedly explained: "I just think that my sister is too hard to live at home alone, and she should come to Hebei to ......reunite with her husband."

Halfway through her words, her face suddenly changed, she clutched her chest, and retched repeatedly.

Xu Xiling was startled, and Liu Xiu also hurriedly stood up, supported Guo Shengtong, who was shaking, and asked, "What's wrong with Madam?" Feeling unwell? ”

Guo Shengtong retched for a while before she could force the vomiting to be suppressed, she shook her head weakly, and said, "I don't know what happened recently, maybe I was suffering from a cold." ”

Liu Xiu raised his head and said, "Long Yuan! ”

"The subordinates are here!" As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuan walked in from outside and bowed to Liu Xiu.

"Go and get the medical officer to come and take a look at Madame." Liu Xiu said.

"Yes!" Long Yuan replied and walked away quickly.

Guo Shengtong smiled at Liu Xiuqiang and said, "Don't worry, husband, the concubine's body is fine." ”

"It's just spring, and the temperature difference here in Hebei is large, so you should pay more attention." Liu Xiu turned his head to look at Xu Xiling and said, "Xiling, send my wife back to the room to rest on my behalf." ”

"Good!" Xu Xiling walked to Guo Shengtong's side, supported her, and walked out of the study.

Waiting for Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling to leave, Liu Xiu sighed softly.

If he could, of course he would like to take Yin Lihua to Hebei and reunite the husband and wife, but as Xu Xiling said, once he does this, his disobedience will be revealed, how could Liu Xuan let Lihua go?

Liu Xiu is reluctant to be the emperor now, and Yin Lihua is also one of the factors he considers.

When he was reading in the study, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and it didn't take long for Long Yuan to even bother knocking on the door, he rushed in directly, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Long Yuan puzzled, not understanding what was wrong with Long Yuan, who had always been old and stable on weekdays. He asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord, Madame is happy!"

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, stood up suddenly, walked out quickly, and asked urgently, "Really?" "The medical officer has already checked the pulse for his wife, it's true, it can't be wrong!" Long Yuan said excitedly.
