Chapter 245: The Journey to the East

After dinner, Zhen Mi and Danyu got up to say goodbye, Guo Zhao also followed, don't Zhen Mi stopped him, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't send it, today is your birthday, you can stay, let Your Majesty be happy with you." ”

Guo Zhao lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhen Mi said again: "You will be Your Majesty's woman sooner or later, so don't be shy, unless you don't want to." ”

Zhen Mi and Danyu left with a smile, and now there are only Guo Zhao and Liu Xie left.

Liu Xie said: "They are all gone, it's not too late now, let's go, accompany me to enjoy the moon." ”

"Your Majesty, it's the end of the month, where can I get the moon?"

"Then let's enjoy the stars."

The state pastoral mansion is still quite big, Liu Xie pulled her to a house, and there happened to be a ladder in the corner of the house, so Liu Xie pulled her to climb the ladder to the roof.

The two sat down on the roof, and Liu Xie said: "In these harems of mine, there are all kinds of beauties, Cai Yan is the most literate, Yan Er is the strongest in martial arts, Wenyin is both civil and martial, Diao Chan is the most charming, and Zhen Ji is the most dignified......"

"And what about me, Your Majesty?"

"You," Liu Xie said with a smile, "in addition to being beautiful, you are also the most lovely." Zhao'er ......"

Liu Xie put his arm around her, let her lean into his arms, and said, "Is it okay to keep this cute and innocent forever?" ”

Guo Zhao smiled and said: "Okay, as long as many brothers like it, Zhao'er can do anything." ”

In the original history, Zhen Mi was Yuan Xi's wife at the beginning, and later Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao and took her captive to Cao Pi to be his wife, so Zhen Mi was not Cao Pi's "initial" wife.

But Guo Zhao Guo Queen is.

Because of Zhen Mi's beauty, Guo Zhao, as Cao Pi's "initial wife", became jealous and framed her, and finally caused Cao Pi to give her death.

Therefore, in the current history, Liu Xie was worried that Guo Zhao would be as jealous as in the original history, so he had what he said just now, and wanted Guo Zhao to be innocent and cute all the time.

He doesn't want a palace fight in his harem, he wants his harem to get along well.

But he won't say anything about the original history.

The two sat on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, talking, Guo Zhao also stayed at night, and went to bed for the first time, and Liu Xie helped her complete her coming-of-age ceremony.

In the eleventh year of the Galaxy (199 AD), Liu Xie was nineteen years old. In April, on the 24th, Liu Xieqi's army of 300,000 left Chengdu and went to Jingzhou.

A few days earlier, he had already sent an order to Yan'er in Jingzhou, ordering him to prepare 200,000 troops to stand by and prepare to attack Wu.

At the same time, he also ordered Zhang Liao in Xuzhou to raise 200,000 troops to go south to attack Wu.

The Third Route Army totaled 700,000, which would be the largest battle since Liu Xie's accession to the throne.

Of the three armies, Zhang Liao was the Eastern Route Army, Yan Er was the Middle Route Army, and Liu Xie was the Western Route Army.

However, it is said that among the three armies, Liu Xie's Western Route Army has the largest scale, the largest number of personnel, and a lot of baggage equipment, and the important thing is that there are also the most military generals, including Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Fa Zheng, Xun Yu, etc., and military generals Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, etc.

Both Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang were required to be taken with them in the army, and just two months before the Han army was preparing to leave Shu for the Eastern Expedition, Zhang Lu suddenly asked to resign and become a monk at a Taoist temple in Jianning.

Liu Xie saw that he did not pose a threat to the Han family, so he agreed to his request to become a monk.

This Zhang Lu, who was originally sitting in Hanzhong, surrendered to Han without fighting a battle, and hoped to follow Liu Xie's southern expedition to kill Liu Zhang to avenge his mother, but he was fooled by Liu Xie and told him that Liu Zhang could not be killed.

Zhang Lu originally believed in Taoism, and also created his own Wudou Rice Sect, but at this moment he couldn't take revenge, and he lost his warlord rule, and when all thoughts were lost, he left home.

When Liu Zhang saw that Zhang Lu was a monk, he said that he had seen through the red dust and wanted to become a monk. But Liu Xie didn't allow it, he had to follow the army to Jingzhou, even if he wanted to become a monk, then at least he had to go to Jingzhou to become a monk.

In desperation, Liu Zhang could only take his family to follow the Han army out of Shu and go to Jingzhou.

In addition to Chengdu, the army went to Jingzhou.

The scenery in Shuzhong is beautiful, the army is slow, on the way, Liu Xie took the queen of the Xinna harem Guo to tour the mountains and rivers, enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, and was not in a hurry to go to Jingzhou, but slowly entered.

The army marched eastward, almost stopping for three days in one day, and there were many complaints in the army, saying that Liu Xie was greedy for women and did not want to forge ahead, at such a speed, when would Jiangdong be subdued?

Whenever Liu Xie went to a place with beautiful scenery, he would definitely order a large army to be stationed, and then he would take Guo Zhao with him, and he would visit here for as little as one day and as many as three or five days.

He not only coveted beauty and the scenery along the way, but also gathered some literati musicians, and when he visited, he composed poems and inscriptions, and played music to help the fun.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of May, and the army had not yet left the Shu realm, and the Dragon Boat Festival had passed on the road. Xuzhou and Jingzhou kept sending letters urging the conquest, but Liu Xie only didn't know.

However, it was said that on this day, the army came to Wuling, and Taishou Jin Xuan went out of the city to greet him, and Liu Bei stationed the army.

After entering the city, Liu Xie convened the generals to discuss the matter, which was also the first time he went out for a month to discuss the matter, after the people arrived, Liu Xie asked: "300,000 Han troops all the way, from Xishu to come, long journey, a lot of hardship, I plan to rest in Wuling County for more time, after recuperating energy, and then go east to conquer Sun Ce, I don't know if the Qing has and high opinions." ”

Huang Zhong came out first and said: "Your Majesty, we have been walking for a month in this ten-day trip, and we still have to rest, when will we be able to get to Jianye City?" ”

The other generals also complained, saying that the formation was too slow. Zhang Fei shouted: "This is a day and a day of rest, what kind of war is this, this is obviously out to play in the mountains and rivers, my Zhangba snake spears are rusty!" ”

Liu Xie smiled and didn't say anything, just waiting for everyone to complain. looked at Zhuge Liang quietly, and he secretly smiled and didn't speak.

Zhang Fei said again: "Kong Ming, you are a military advisor, why don't you advise Your Majesty to march as soon as possible." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan: "Your Majesty, how can we understand it?" But...... You have followed Your Majesty for so many years, and you are all old people, why do you still have no confidence in Your Majesty? I think that when His Majesty ascended the throne at the age of nine, led 6,000 weak soldiers, and faced 15 Li Guo thugs, no one in the entire government and opposition had even the slightest hope for this, but what was the result? I don't say you all know that. Let me ask again, has Your Majesty disappointed you in these years? ”

Zhuge Liang spoke, and everyone was dumbfounded. However, in the past ten years of conquest, Liu Xie has not won all battles, he was captured by the Southern Xiongnu and humiliated by Liu Bao, and now he is haunted by it.

However, in Cai Yan's song and dance epic "Changle Weiyang", this period of history is explained like this: because Liu Xie strategized and transferred Chen Gong Zhao Yun first, he turned the tide and killed Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, and also surrendered Yuan general Zhang He.
