The Han army surrounded Wancheng and did not fight, and sent troops to reinforce Ma Chao, which was stuck on the main road between Xuchang and Wancheng.

In fact, Ma Chao could have fought Xuchang, but Liu Xie did not allow it, since he ascended the throne, every battle must be commanded by himself.

Because he understands very well that only by personally mercenary conquests can he firmly grasp the military power in his hands, and the political power must be firmly grasped in his hands, and this time it is the cornerstone of the stability of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu have always hated Cao Cao, and they received the secret edict of the Han family, so they really stationed troops near Xuchang and did not attack.

Liu Xie didn't expect Yuan Shao and Lu Bu to fight Cao Cao, he just wanted the two of them to contain Cao Cao.

In this way, Cao Cao was very passive, with Yuan Shao and Lu Bu in the northeast, Luoyang in the northwest, Ma Chao in the southwest, and Yuan Shu in the southeast, and he was besieged in Xuchang and couldn't go anywhere.

This made Liu Xie able to besiege Wancheng with more peace of mind, Liu Xie's plan and shrewdness, besieged Wancheng, just waiting for Cao Renjun in Wancheng to break down without food and water, he was ready to besiege for three months.

Anyway, the Luoyang grain road was opened, and he added Ma Chao and supported the Han army with more than 200,000 people, although there were many people, but there was no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass at all.

But said that the siege entered the tenth day, and the sun was shining again, Liu Xie went out of the camp to inspect the front of the battle, and saw Wen Yin practicing archery, so he called her over.

Wen Yin put away his bow and arrows, ran over and asked, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Idle and boring, are you free?" Accompany me to survey the terrain. ”

Wen Yin said: "The courtiers are free. ”

The two rode horses to survey in front of the formation, and when they came to a dirt slope, Liu Xie whipped: "Yanyun, let's go up and have a look." ”

The two of them dismounted and were about to go uphill, Liu Xie turned back to the soldiers who followed and said, "You are waiting for me here, go and go back." ”

The hillside is not very high, but it is very steep, and there is no road, halfway through, Liu Xie can't climb, he stands and rests, Wen Yin turned back in front and said: "Your Majesty's road is not easy to walk, why don't we go down and find a new way to walk?" ”

Liu Xie asked, "Can you go up?" ”

Wen Yin said: "The courtiers can go up by themselves." ”

Liu Xie was embarrassed for a while, and said in his heart: I am not as good as a man as a woman, no, I must climb up.

He said, "Go up from here." ”

With that, he grabbed a vine and tried to climb up, Wen Yin took a step back and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

Liu Xie couldn't help sighing: "Alas, if you want to be a man, you are not as good as your woman." ”

Wen Yin smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be discouraged, the courtiers are military generals, they have practiced martial arts since they were young, of course their health is good, Your Majesty is the emperor, and their physical strength is not as good as that of the courtiers, so it is naturally understandable." ”

"No, I'm going to practice too! Yanyun, you are my master, and you teach me to practice martial arts. ”

"Okay," Wen Yin said with a smile, "but the courtiers are very strict, so I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to endure hardship." ”

"Then you have to ......" Liu Xie didn't say the word "practice" before he stepped on the air, and fell down, Wen Yin exclaimed in surprise, grabbed his hand tightly, but even he couldn't stand up and rolled down with him.

Fortunately, the slope is not very high, and Wen Yin is agile and grabs a vine beside him, so that he will not fall farther. However, the two fell on the half-slope, Wen Yin pressed on Liu Xie, and the two were just stuck together.

Wen Yin was embarrassed for a while, and was about to get up, but was hugged by Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, let go of the courtiers," Wen Yin said shyly.

"Aren't you good at martial arts," Liu Xie's breathing was a little short, "You can break free." ”

"The courtiers are afraid of hurting Your Majesty, so they don't dare."

Liu Xie hugged her tightly, the two faced each other, Wen Yin was embarrassed by him, so he could only turn his face sideways, so that the two of them faced each other.

Liu Xie asked, "Is my sister injured?" ”

The underground soldiers saw the two falling, and exclaimed that they were going to come up to rescue, Liu Xie secretly waved his hand, and the soldiers stood below this time and did not dare to come up.

Wen Yin said: "The courtiers should die, they actually forgot to ask Your Majesty, but let Your Majesty care about me first." Your Majesty, are you injured? ”

Liu Xie said: "No." ”

Wen Yin said: "The courtiers have never been." ”

Seeing that the emperor was holding her and refused to get up, Wen Yin gave up resisting and let him hold her.

Liu Xie said: "It's just that I'm a little out of breath when I am pressed by you." ”

Wen Yin said: "Then you let go of the courtiers, don't hurt Your Majesty." ”

"But it's comfortable."

"Your Majesty, that ......" Wen Yin was at a loss, and he was afraid of crushing the emperor, so he held his hands on the ground.

After hugging for a while, Liu Xie said, "Sister." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"I'm going to be there for you."

"Oh, Your Majesty......"

"To give or not to give?"

"No."

"Forget it," Liu Xie let go of her, "let's get up and find another way." ”

"Hmm," Wen Yin stood up and pulled Liu Xie up, and the two of them sorted out their clothes and patted the dust off their bodies.

The two of them came down from the halfway slope, found a better way to walk, and reached the top of the slope in a short time.

Standing on the top of the slope, the two stood side by side, facing Wancheng, and both took out their monoculars to observe Wancheng.

Luoyang broke through the glass process as early as three years ago, and developed the technology in addition to the monocular, began to produce in large quantities, the Han army general-level personnel, each person has one, when not in use, you can shrink up, put it in your arms, take it out when you use it, and pull it is a one-foot-long telescope, which can see far away.

Of course, this is also Luoyang's highly confidential technology, and it is strictly transmitted.

Through the telescope, you can see the city of Wancheng clearly, and you can see that Cao Jun has several wells.

Liu Xie smiled and said: "These guys, I hope they can get water, alas, it's just that these people are suffering, and I can't bear it." ”

Wen Yin said: "This is the time of war, and there is no way, I believe the people of Wancheng can understand." Your Majesty, think about it, when Liu Pi guarded Wancheng, the people of Wancheng lived and worked in peace and contentment, had enough food and clothing, and enjoyed the blessings of Luoyang, but now they have changed hands and replaced Cao Jun, and they began to live miserably, can they like Cao Cao? The courtiers felt that His Majesty's words were very right: Win the hearts of the people and win the world, Cao Cao is not popular with the people, and sooner or later it will be over. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "My sister is really smart. ”

Wen Yin said: "What's wrong with Your Majesty today, why do you always call your courtier's sister." ”

Liu Xie said: "Because my younger brother likes my sister very much." Good sister, you can give it to me. ”

Wen Yin looked back at Liu Xie, looking at him with a pitiful look, and couldn't help but laugh at him, and said, "I won't give it." ”

Liu Xie looked disappointed.

Wen Yin then said: "If you have the ability, you can rob it." ”

The implication has been agreed, Liu Xie was overjoyed, hugged her, Wen Yin chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you are here again." ”

"My sister is strong in martial arts, but she is not allowed to resist."

Wen Yin said: "That can't be here." ”

"Then let's go back to camp."

The two of them went down the dirt slope and went to the royal camp.
