Kuai Yue was transferred out of Jingzhou, and he was going to get up on the same day and lead his family to Luoyang.

After the banquet dispersed, Wen Yin and Zhi were in a hurry to return to Wancheng, but stationed in Xiangyang according to Chen Gong's instructions in advance.

Kuai Yue's defenders in Xiangyang were only more than 20,000 people, and Kuai Yue did not dare to lead troops to resist at all, once the fight started, Jingzhou would inevitably be placed in the position of rebelling against the imperial court, and the Jingzhou army was not the opponent of the Han army at all.

Early the next morning, Kuai Yue and his family left Xiangyang for Wancheng under the escort of the Han army, and then stayed in Wancheng for a few days before going to Luoyang.

Gan Ning knew that he couldn't get Wen Yin and his party, so he left Xiangyang overnight and went to Jingzhou, leaving Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to stay in Xiangyang.

But said that after Kuai Yue and Gan Ning left, Wen Yin didn't know what to do next, and his brother Wen Ping said: "Niangniang, Chen Junshi handed you a bag when he left, saying that he could open it when he was hesitant, and he should be able to open it at this time." ”

Wen Yin said: "Without my brother's reminder, I forgot." ”

When I opened it, I saw a piece of paper inside, which read: "Zhao Yun led the army to guard Xiangyang, and Niangniang returned to Wancheng." ”

Wen Yin smiled and said: "It turns out that the military has been planned for a long time. ”

In exchange for Zhao Yun, he said: "Zilong, the palace is going back to Wancheng, and the 30,000 troops will be handed over to you to command, and the town will guard Xiangyang. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Yunding should do his best to collect Xiangyang and live up to his mission." ”

Zhao Yun stayed in Xiangyang, his wife Ma Feng, and Deputy General Zhao Ping stayed in Xiangyang, as well as 30,000 Han army elite cavalry.

Wen Yin set off immediately, and returned to Wancheng in a short time, and wanted Yan'er to tell him about the mission.

Yan Er said: "My sister really lives up to the trust. ”

Wen Yin said: "Without such a strategist and general, how could I settle Xiangyang so easily." It's just that I'm worried that if we forcibly occupy Xiangyang, Liu Biao will send troops to attack. ”

Chen Gong said: "Concubine Wen is too worried, and she dares to guarantee that Liu Biao will not dare to offend." Liu Biao was a gentle man, and he didn't want to bear the reputation of rebellion. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he dares to attack, our 300,000 Han troops will not die and eat vegetarians. ”

Yan Er boasted: "The military advisor is really clever, so what should I do next?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Respond to all changes with the same, keep Wancheng and Xiangyang, and wait and see the changes." ”

Since then, Yan'er has been stationed in the army and has been eyeing Jing Xiang. After Liu Biao lost Xiangyang, as Chen Gong expected, he didn't dare to come and retract.

Don't say Jingzhou, but say Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu was determined to follow Liu Xie south to capture Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and in order to show his loyalty, he voluntarily sent his family to live in Luoyang.

Liu Xie was also about to take Zhang Lu to take Yizhou together, but unexpectedly there were many earthquakes in Yizhou, Liu Xie dispelled the idea of attacking immediately, but decided to wait for the beginning of the next year to march the army, and the army was settled in Hanzhong, Tuntian everywhere, and let Chang'an Jia Xu transport official food from time to time.

Seeing that Liu Xie did not immediately take Liu Zhang's intentions, Zhang Lu said: "Your Majesty, take advantage of this opportunity, it is just the right time to attack Liu Zhang, you must not miss it." ”

Liu Xie said: "The people of Shu who were affected by the disaster are also Han people, and they are my people, and it is always the common people who suffer from the war, and I can't make matters worse for the people, so I decided." ”

Zhang Lu was also helpless, so he could only wait for three months before making plans.

The Han army, which is now on the march, is divided into two parts, one in Hanzhong and the other in Wancheng and Xiangyang.

Liu Xie stationed 400,000 Han troops in various parts of Hanzhong, and autumn was the wheat ripening season. Liu Xie asked the soldiers to train while buying and hoarding food everywhere, and at the same time ordered Jia Xu to transport all kinds of armaments and materials to Hanzhong for a long-term plan.

Many of these armaments were also available for civilian use, and many of them were sold to the common people in Hanzhong at the price of Luoyang, which greatly benefited the common people. These include paper, leather, cloth, etc.

Liu Xiehanzhong requisitioned a private house as a temporary new palace, lived in it, and strengthened the security around it.

However, he said that he had been in Hanzhong for nearly a month, and in the middle of winter and October, Liu Xie was also idle and bored, so he called Xiao Luozi to accompany him on a slight outing.

Walking on the street, I saw that the streets of Hanzhong were bustling, since the Han army came, brought a large number of Luoyang materials, so that Hanzhong was more lively.

Following Liu Xie, Xiao Luozi whispered: "Your Majesty, this Hanzhong is not as safe as Luoyang, so it is better to return early." ”

Liu Xie glared at him and said, "Do you want to go back?" Okay, you go back, I go shopping alone, and you will be long-winded. ”

Xiao Luozi said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Xiao Luozi will no longer be wordy, don't drive me away." ”

"Then just shut up and follow."

In fact, there were still guards of the Imperial Forest Army to follow in secret to ensure the safety of the emperor.

Liu Xie said: "I didn't bring them to the harem this time, and I haven't seen them for a month, so I miss them very much." ”

Xiao Luo Zi said: "Then why don't you fly the pigeon and pass the book, let the mother come to accompany Your Majesty." ”

"But don't, they are all golden branches and jade leaves, how can they be compared to you and me, who are used to running outside, can endure this kind of suffering?"

Xiao Luozi said: "Not really, Your Majesty, four of the ladies are military generals, Xiahou Niangniang, Concubine Wen Niangniang and Concubine Lu Ning Niang can't come to Jingzhou with Xiao Cai Niangniang......

Since Cai Yan and Yan Er have the same surname Cai, in order to distinguish them, Xiao Luozi called them Da Cai and Xiao Cai respectively.

Xiao Luozi continued: "Among the other seven Niangniang, Concubine Zou Niangniang took command and went to Zhang Xiu, and also single-handedly beheaded the general, Da Cai Niangniang followed you to the Hedong Baibo Army, Da Qiao Niangniang and Xiao Qiao Niangniang also went with you to fight Yuan Shao, especially Da Qiao Niangniang also singled out Yuan Shang, although there was no winner or loser. They've been bumpy and bumpy, Your Majesty. ”

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "Little Luozi, I ask you, how many years have you followed me?" ”

Xiao Luozi said: "The slave entered the palace at the age of seven and has followed His Majesty for ten years. ”

"It's been ten years, and you still don't know me?"

Xiao Luozi was stunned for a while, then understood, and said: "Your Majesty is worried about the hard work of the Niangniang Sect with the children, so I am reluctant to let them come." ”

Liu Xie pointed at him with a smile and said, "You, you actually know what I think in your heart, shhh, don't say it." ”

What else can Liu Xie think in his heart, except for worrying about the safety of the concubines, it is nothing more than thinking about whether he can have a romantic chance encounter.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Luozi said with a grin, "Little Luozi understands. ”

As he was talking, he saw that the street in front of me was very lively, crowded with a lot of people, and I didn't know what they were watching.

"Let's go, go over and have a look," Liu Xie said, leading Xiao Luozi over together.

When I got closer, I found that there was a ring. I saw a banner hanging in the center of the ring, with four big characters written on it: Martial arts competition to recruit relatives.
