In the summer and April of the ninth year of the galaxy, Liu Xie led the Han army to Luoyang, leaving only one army to defend Guandu and no longer attack the Yuan army.

As soon as he returned to Luoyang, Liu Xie began to think about a problem, that is, the second system task issued to him by the small dictionary, before he was 21 years old, to unify the world.

Liu Xie knows that the so-called unification of the world must refer to Kyushu Huaxia, he is 17 years old this year, and there are still four years to unify the world at the age of 21.

Liu Xie still has some confidence in whether he can complete this task. The question he pondered was what he would do after the age of 21.

Before he was reborn, he was given a lifespan of 80 years, which meant that he would live to be 81 years old.

So here's the problem, between the ages of 21 and 81, that's still 60 years.

The system will never let him live happily for sixty years!

After completing the second system task before he was 21 years old, he guessed that there would definitely be a third system task. What would be the third system task? Ask the little dictionary, and the little dictionary won't tell him.

The so-called precautions, Liu Xie thought to himself, he had to plan now, in order to prevent him from being in a hurry and having no way to start.

To unify the world, the problem will never be so simple, it is likely that the small dictionary will allow me to conquer overseas!

Liu Xie thought so, although I couldn't get affirmation, but I could prepare first.

If you want to conquer overseas, the most indispensable thing is to warship! How many warships can be built in four years? No matter how much you can build, build it.

Liu Xie immediately sent an edict to Zhang Liao in Xuzhou, ordering him to recruit craftsmen in Donghai County and vigorously build sea ships.

Many people didn't understand Liu Xie's sudden need to build a large number of sea ships, and Liu Xie didn't explain, because he knew that it was useless to explain, and no one would understand.

Liu Xie asked Zhang Liao to just recruit people to build, the more the better.

However, it is said that Zhang Liao defended Sun Ce in Jiangnan in Hefei on the one hand, and built ships in the East China Sea on the other hand, and raised troops in Tuntian in the Xuzhou area.

Liu Xie continued to develop the economy in Luoyang, Chang'an, and developed animal husbandry and agricultural reclamation in Hedong, Hexi, and Liangzhou.

Only a month after returning to Luoyang, a Malay report said: Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers killed each other in Jizhou, Yuan Tan was defeated, and went to the plains.

A few days later, there was a horse exploration report: Yuan Tan fought a decisive battle from the plains and Jizhou, was defeated again, and retreated to the plains again, Yuan Shang led the troops to the plains to attack, but Yuan Tan could not hold out.

When Liu Xiezheng was discussing with the ministers, he asked: "What do you think about the current situation of the Yuan family?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Now that Yuan Shang sent troops to attack the plains, Jizhou must be empty, and our army can take advantage of the gap to take Jizhou." ”

Guo Jia said: "Otherwise, within two days, Yuan Tan will definitely send someone to ask for help, and it will not be too late to send troops when the time comes." ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Chen Gong did not answer.

Sure enough, the next day, Xin Bi, an advisor under Yuan Tan's account, came to see him, presented a table of surrender, and asked the Han army for support, and Liu Xie asked the ministers what their opinions were.

Chen Yu said: "Yuan Tan was anxious by his younger brother, he had to surrender as a last resort, and he couldn't be trusted as a matter of what Weichen saw." ”

Xun You said: "If the children of the Yuan family are harmonious, there is no way to do it, once they turn against me, I can first get rid of Yuan Shang, and then try Yuan Tan, the north can basically be determined, this good opportunity, can not be missed." ”

Liu Xie asked again: "How about filial piety?" ”

Guo Jia said: "What Gongda said is extremely true, and Weichen seconded it. ”

Xun Yu, the word Gongda.

Liu Xie said: "In this case, start tomorrow morning and go to Jizhou!" ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Xie summoned Xin Bi and asked, "Did Yuan Tan really surrender?" Is Yuan Shang really easy to beat? ”

Xin Bi said: "Your Majesty, what Weichen said, regardless of the truth or falsehood for the time being, and please listen to Weichen say: Yuan's successive defeats, internal and external troubles, people's hearts are not aligned, friends are fighting, and Yuan's has always been sympathetic to the people's feelings, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is the destruction of Yuan's family at this time. His Majesty attacked Ye County, if Yuan Shang didn't save it, the nest would be lost, and if he did, Yuan Tan would attack him. With His Majesty's mighty army, he hit the tired crowd of the Yuan clan, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. If you don't want to do it now, when will you wait? There is no greater disaster in the world than the Yuan family of Hebei. Yuan's annihilation, Hebei Ping, and then set the world, it will not be far away, please Your Majesty Mingjian. ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "George's words are very good, and they are in harmony. ”

After commending him, he set up troops to Jizhou early the next morning.

Before reaching the boundary of Jizhou, there was already a detailed report to Yuan Shang, who was besieging Yuan Tan in the plain, hurriedly waved his army back to Yecheng, and ordered Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to break off.

Yuan Tan waved a large army to chase after him, but Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang surrendered and returned to Yuan Tan.

The Han army came to the city of Yejun and surrounded the city, and Yuan Tan came to surrender.

Yuan Tan was waiting outside the tent to summon him, Liu Xie asked the ministers for their opinions, Guo Jia said: "Yuan Tan is not credible, Weichen thinks, it is better to let him go back, let his brother continue to fight, and I will sit and collect the fisherman." ”

Liu Xie nodded in agreement with his suggestion and chose Yuan Tan to enter the account. Yuan Tan knocked on Liu Xie, expressed his sincerity to surrender, and asked the Han army to attack Yuan Shang.

Liu Xie said: "Our Han army has just arrived, it has not yet been established, and the grain and grass are not received. ”

Then he ordered Yuan Tan to continue to guard the plain, and he was waving the army to Liyang, while Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang stayed in the army to listen to it.

Unexpectedly, at the party, Er Lu suddenly came to see him, saying that after Yuan Tan left, he secretly sent two general seals and asked him to be the internal response, and after breaking Yuan Shang, he saw the opportunity to rebel.

Liu Xie said: "You two take his general seal first, don't leak it, I have my own opinions." ”

Send Erlu down, what is Liu Xie's opinion?

Chen Gong said: "This Yuan Tan really has a bad heart. ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Just his little trick, do you still want to turn over?" Even if no one reports him, I still have a way to kill him! ”

When they were discussing, there was a report from Tanmalai, saying that Yuan Shang ordered Yin Kai to send troops to Maocheng, and frustrated Hu to increase troops in Handan.

As soon as he heard the report, an envoy from Yuan Shao came to report the urgency and asked for support from the Han army.

Liu Xie said to the generals: "Today I will take Jizhou." ”

As he was talking, Xu Yu came from Luoyang and said, "Your Majesty is still sitting here, do you want to wait for the thunder to kill Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang?" ”

Liu Xie laughed, and there were already several people in the underground generals who were not happy, and they were very unhappy that Xu You would treat the emperor so rudely.

Liu Xie turned a blind eye and said, "I was about to attack, and you came." Ziyuan sat quietly and waited for me to kill Er Yuan. ”

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and other generals went to attack Ye County, and he led the army to bow Yin Kai.

When he came to the city, Yin Kai led his troops to meet him, and Liu Xie asked: "Who went out to get him?" ”

Not necessarily, Xu Chu came out and went straight to Yin Kai, Yin Kai waved a knife to fight, as soon as he looked at his face, Xu Chu shouted loudly, and cut it off the horse with a knife. Yin Kai's army was in chaos, the rout of the rout, and the surrender of the surrender.

Liu Xie then led his troops to Handan.
