Liu Xie's 300,000 troops were stationed in Julu, far away from Jizhou.

At this point, he did not adopt a siege strategy, because he understood that Yuan Shaoke was not only a city in Jizhou, but also Youzhou and Bingzhou, as well as Beiping, Beihai, Liaodong and other counties.

Therefore, it is not easy for Liu Xie to divide his troops to surround him, so the best way is to stay here and wait and see what happens.

It has been nearly two months since the army was dispatched from Luoyang, and Erqiao held a coming-of-age ceremony in the army, and Liu Xie celebrated the birthday of her two sisters, and they were fortunate one after another.

In Julu County, there was only a temporary residence, and Liu Xieming craftsmen spent a month building a courtyard house with 16 rooms, which was called "Tongque Terrace".

She also came to Julu in Luoyang's harem one after another, and accompanied by her, they were all placed in the pocket bronze bird platform.

Since then, for three months, Liu Xie and the harem beauties have lived happily together, which can make Yuan Shao in Jizhou angry, and there is a detailed report that Yuan Shao scolded the street all day long, which made Liu Xie laugh, "This is what I want!" ”

But it was said that on this day, the Tongque Terrace was completed, and all the generals came to celebrate, and Liu Xie arranged all the sixteen houses, including Xinna's concubine Xiao Qiao, a total of eleven harems, one for each person, one for himself, the largest one as a meeting room, and three rooms for the palace maids and eunuchs to live in.

Other houses were built around the Bronze Bird Terrace for the guards to live in.

In the conference hall, Liu Xie was on top, and the generals sat down, and a scout came to report: "Yuan Shao has vomited blood and died several times." ”

Hearing the news, all the generals laughed happily, and Liu Xie smiled and said: "This Yuan Shao is also really, isn't he defeated a few times, so he can't think of dying?" It's also not fun. ”

The scout said: "Yuan Shao and Mrs. Liu's youngest son, Yuan Shang, has been made the new lord of Jizhou. Yuan Shang's mother, Mrs. Liu, was very jealous, as soon as Yuan Shao died, she killed all five favorite concubines, and was afraid of the harassment of the silver soul, so she also disfigured and destroyed their bodies, and killed all the families of these favorite concubines. ”

Hearing the news, all the generals present were shocked, Liu Xie said: "This is too cruel, my own people are doing this, it seems that Yuan Shao's remnants will destroy themselves in a short time." ”

The scout also said: "Mrs. Liu and the trial match Feng Ji are in a group, and the trial and Feng Ji set up Yuan Shang as the general of the Great Sima, and at the same time led the four prefectures of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou, and sent an envoy to mourn. Yuan Tan had just left Qingzhou for Jizhou and wanted to take the throne, and his two advisors, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, suggested besieging Jizhou. Yuan Shang was worried that he would be defeated, so he sent Feng Ji to Yuan Tan's army to pacify him. ”

While the monarch was listening, another scout suddenly came to report: "Yuan Tanjun has arrived in Liyang and is now coming from Liyang." ”

Liu Xie said: "If you don't measure yourself, his father can't win, Huangkou is really unbelievable!" Let's go, go out and fight! ”

Yuan Tanjun has arrived, the two formations are in a circle, Yuan Tan's general Wang Zhao came out, Xu Huang waved his sword and jumped out of the horse, the two horses intersected, only three rounds, Xu Huang cut Wang Zhao with a knife.

The Han army's cavalry shot immediately rushed and shot indiscriminately, Yuan Tan was defeated, and retreated into Liyang in a hurry.

Seeing that Yuan Tan's army was retreating, some generals advised him to pursue while he was victorious, Liu Xie smiled and said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, Meng Qi." ”

Ma Chao said: "Weichen is here." ”

"You immediately take 10,000 elite horsemen, go to Jizhou to ambush on the road, and see that there is Liyang going to Jizhou to ask for reinforcements, although you don't care about it, but when you see the reinforcements coming from Jizhou, you will fight to kill!"

Ma Chao said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

He took Pang De, Ma Dai and other deputy generals with 10,000 soldiers. Liu Xie said to the generals: "Go back and drink!" Waiting for Meng Qi's good news. ”

The generals of the monarchs and ministers all returned to Tongquetai, and Liu Xie asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food to entertain the generals, at this time Guo Jia had recovered from typhoid fever and was also in the army.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Tan Ma reported: "Yuan Shang of Jizhou only sent 5,000 rescuers, and they were all wiped out by Ma Chao." Yuan Tan sent someone to the nine-ball again, and Ma Chao let it go here. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes, Zhongqing can sit back and relax." ”

About half an hour later, Tanma came here to report that Yuan Tan had beheaded Fengji. Liu Xie said: "Go and order Ma Chao to come back." ”

All the generals were puzzled, and Zhao Yun asked: "Your Majesty, Ma Chao has already won for a while, why did he call it back?" ”

Liu Xie smiled without saying a word, and when he saw that Guo Jia was also smiling secretly, he said, "Fengxiao, you talk to Zilong." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Guo Jia said, "Yuan Shang has suffered a loss, and this time he will definitely send a large army over, first, for fear that Yuan Tan will be forced to surrender to our Han army, and secondly, to guard against ambushes." ”

Then Ma Chao was called back, and nothing major happened on this day.

On the second day, the Tanmalay newspaper said: "The judge and the general Su You guarded Jizhou, Yuan Shang led the army Ali Liyang, camped outside the city, Yuan Tan was in the city, and the two were horns for each other." ”

Liu Xie just stood still and let the scouts continue to investigate.

Two days later, Yuan Xi, the second eldest of the Yuan family, and his cousin Gao Gan also suddenly led troops to Liyang, and the three Yuan brothers annexed three places in Liyang to continue to fight against the Han army.

Liu Xie said to the generals: "The three sons of the Yuan family really don't know whether they live or die, and if I don't beat them, they will become more and more ignorant of the height of the sky." ”

Chen Gong said: "Or, let's start the total, right?" ”

Liu Xie asked Guo Jia: "What does Fengxiao mean?" ”

Guo Jia said: "The Yuan family abolished the long and young, and between the brothers, the power is combined, each building a party, saving each other if it is urgent, and fighting for it if it is slow; It's better to go back to Luoyang for the time being, let them fight, and after the big injury, let's go down again. ”

Liu Xie thought for a moment and said, "Although we don't enter here, at least we will also threaten the Yuan family, so they will still unite and will not fight among themselves." Feng Xiao's words were reasonable, and he informed the whole army to prepare to return to the court. ”

Chen Gong said: "But Your Majesty, what should the Yuan brothers do if they unite and invade the south?" ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Gongtai is too worried, these three brothers, they must have broken their heads in order to compete for the position of the lord of Jizhou, they have fought enough, wouldn't it be good for us to clean him up again?" Little Luozi ......"

"The minions are here."

"Draft the decree, seal Yuan Tan as the pastor of Jizhou, the general, and send the holy decree over as soon as possible!"

Xiao Luo Zinuo said goodbye and went to prepare.

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

Liu Xie looked around and said, "I've been here for two months, and I originally planned to wait until after the autumn to conquer Jizhou, but it seems that I can't wait." Inform the whole army to pack up their itinerary and set off the day after tomorrow at the latest! ”

The will was conveyed, and the Han army began to pack up, and Tongquetai was therefore left idle.

On the third day, the 300,000 army left Liyang and marched towards Luoyang, with more than 300,000 people following along the way.

Since it was early summer in April, the weather was already not cold, and the people did not have to worry about the cold.
