In the south of the capital of Ye, the camp of the Zhao army, compared with the past, the strength of the army is doubled, and Yuan Shao parades the army here. A full 60,000 army, in the whole of Hebei, the most elite army was concentrated here by Yuan Shao.

"Zhao Gong! Zhao Gong! Zhao Gong! The continuous shouts of soldiers resounded in the camp, expressing their loyalty to Yuan Shao.

One phalanx after another, closely lined up on the wide school grounds, Yuan Shao's eyes continued to sweep towards his soldiers, and his heart fluctuated. This is the cornerstone of his foundation for the Yuan clan in Hebei, and it is also the main force for him to attack the Xia Kingdom in the west.

A phalanx of more than 10,000 sergeants, everyone with heavy crossbows, this is the crossbow army that Yuan Shao ordered to be painstakingly trained by Lu Yi in order to deal with Xia Cai. 10,000 strong crossbows, the end is terrifying.

"Qi Zhao Gong! 10,000 spearmen, 30,000 shieldmen, 10,000 archers, 10,000 crossbowmen! All have been assembled, and they can march at any time to attack the city and capture the village for Zhao Gong! Koji Yiman was full of excitement and said respectfully to Yuan Shao.

"Good! Good! Yuan Shao shouted hello twice, ran back and forth on the general's platform a few times, pointed to the military array under his feet and said loudly to the ministers around him: "With such a strong army, why worry about Hu Xia injustice!"

Under the high teeth, all the courtiers who follow the driver are inevitably excited. Guo Tu's face was excited: "I have a strong army in Hebei, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the lord is enough to swallow the fields according to this."

The rest of the courtiers all expressed their opinions, and the words of praise filled Yuan Shao's ears. Frustrated and the others, they didn't speak, and their expressions were all sighs.

"Back to the city!" Raising his head and covering his eyes, looking at the sun, Yuan Shao happily instructed Lu Yi, Yan Liang and other generals: "Continue training!"

"No!"

For so many years, Yuan Shao was in Hebei, quit the army and tuntian, rested with the people, and wanted to restore the Hebei prefectures. Devoted to money, food, and soldiers, persuading farmers to teach mulberry, eliminating ills, appointing talents, and working poor for several years, Hebei was greatly governed.

Up to now, under the rule of Yuan Shao, the people have returned to their hearts, the treasury is full, and the soldiers are strong. In recent years, Yuan Shao did not build a large number of buildings in Hebei and dredge ditches, which was a move for the benefit of the country and the people, and the biggest action was only to expand Yecheng and strengthen the city defense.

Those who work hard and lose money but levy labor and open the mountain and widen the road in Taihang in the west. On the basis of the original trails, a large number of plank trails were sorted out, and they fell straight into the Taihang Mountains until they reached the forefront of the area controlled by Yuan Jun. In this way, Liu Xia's actions are declared to everyone that Zhao Gong's ambition to fight Xia.

Yuan Shao was born in a family of scholars, and he was able to become the overlord of the north, in addition to his own ability and the prestige of the Yuan family, thanks to the support of the powerful families of Hebei. Yuan Shao's attitude towards the family has always been "lenient and benevolent", but over the years, he has severely cracked down on those who have committed lawlessness, become an obstacle to Hebei's governance, and go against their will.

Yuan Shao was able to be patient, painstakingly accumulate money, food, soldiers and horses, and restore his strength, the main purpose was to cut down the summer and be ashamed. How many times did he dream back at midnight, Yuan Shao sat up on the couch in shock, cold sweat broke out, gritted his teeth, and the scene of Mrs. Liu Cheng Huan under Liu Yuan's crotch always appeared in his dream.

The defeat of Taiyuan, the loss of the state, and the most unforgettable hatred of humiliating his wife! Although he is now married to a noble-born, young and beautiful lady, Yuan Shao will never forget the Liu family who made him lose face. And with the passage of time, the more precipitation, the more profound.

......

The sky was bright, and the Han and Zhao courtiers in Yecheng entered the palace one by one. On the top of the main hall, hundreds of civil and military ministers sat in columns, quietly, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, sat high on the throne.

Up to now, Liu Xie has grown up, matured a lot, and has a slender body, but this spirit seems to be very poor. Lying on the big case, he was very scoundrel and shook the pearl in front of the emperor's crown, yawning in front of the ministers from time to time, looking like he hadn't woken up, and he didn't look like a king.

There are those who disdain, those who laugh, those who are happy, and a few who are angry. Quietly, Liu Xie took in the reactions of the ministers in the palace, and sighed in his heart, how many ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are still his courtiers Liu Xie.

After such a long time, with Yuan Shao's wrist, most of the old ministers of the Emperor and Han Dynasty who came to the transaction have already surrendered to Zhao Gong. Dong Cheng and others still firmly adhere to the bottom line, but they don't dare to act presumptuously, they are all honest, and in the face of Yuan Shao, they have to bow their heads and ears.

Liu Xie, not to mention that the monarch is not out of the palace, it is a problem to even get out of his bedroom. Although he tried his courage and showed weakness to Yuan, he secretly and cautiously accumulated some strength with the support of Dong Cheng and others, but he was afraid that Yuan Shao would find out. Compared with Yuan Shao's huge power, his little capital can be destroyed by Yuan Shao's backhand.

"Zhao Gong has arrived!" The eunuch reported loudly, and the atmosphere in the palace was solemn.

Yuan Shao led the guards to come dressed up, strode onto the danqi, shook off the robe, and sat down.

"Ministers and others see Your Majesty, participate in Zhao Gong!" Visiting together, when facing Yuan Shao, his voice was obviously much louder.

"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!" Liu Xie said in a flat voice, glanced at Yuan Shao, and then honestly propped his head and watched the interaction between Yuan Shao and the ministers.

Bored, Liu Xie didn't seem to care about the major affairs of the court and politics at all, "restless", and his eyes were wandering. But the ear kept listening, listening very carefully. Yuan Shao glanced at him from time to time and seemed very satisfied with his performance.

Until the third o'clock in the morning, the court quieted down, and Liu Xie made a relieved expression and signaled to the eunuch next to him. Before the words of the scattered dynasty were spoken, Yuan Shao stood up abruptly and walked in front of Liu Xie.

His heart tightened inexplicably, and he looked at Yuan Shao, who was looking down at him: "Zhao Gong....... I don't know Zhao Gong, what else is going on? ”

"Since the second year of the first peace, Hu Chief Liu Yuan has invaded the Han Dynasty in an all-round south, and it has been eight years! I, a big man, was unable to deal with foreign insults due to civil strife. Bingzhou fell, Hedong fell, and even the old capital of Sanfu fell to the enemy. The Shi clan was ruthlessly slaughtered, and the people were regarded as pigs, and people with lofty ideals were all heartbroken and wept in the west! ”

Yuan Shao said with some emotion: "In the second year of Jianning, Liu Yuan brazenly proclaimed himself emperor, and tried in vain to steal my Han artifact, which was even more angry and resentful. Now, after years of cultivation, I, Hebei Minyin and Guofu, are united in one mind, and it is time to launch an attack on Hu Xia! Lonely wants to command Yan Zhao's elite soldiers, move westward, attack Hu Xia, and subdue the old land. Please Your Majesty, issue an edict to the world and discuss Hu Xia together! ”

Yuan Shao's move to the west had been expected by the top and bottom, and after so many years of preparation, isn't it for this. Especially in recent years, the action has become bigger and bigger, and everyone knows that the move of cutting down the summer is close at hand, Yuan Shao proposed it at this time, and not many people expressed surprise.

Looking at Yuan Shao steadily, Liu Xie rarely put away his lazy expression. When he was in Chang'an, he experienced such hardships and torture, and Liu Xie hated Liu Yuan and his son very much. Especially when he is the emperor, standing in the west, competing with him, the son of the Han Dynasty, he can't eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Almost without hesitation, Liu Xie responded in a deep voice: "Edict!" Send troops to fight for summer! ”
