"Where are you going to take him?" The dragoon guard holding the man saw Liu Wei standing outside the palace and hurriedly saluted him, Liu Wei looked at the man who was arrested, and asked the dragoon guard.

"Back to Your Highness!" The officer who led the group of dragoons heard Liu Wei's question, and answered: "This person is a spy of the Cao army......

"Cao Jun spy?" Looking at the person who was escorted by the dragoon guard, Liu Wei frowned slightly, waved his hand at the dragoon guard officer and said, "Escort him down!" Don't torture for the time being, strictly guard, this king will personally go to interrogate later! ”

"No!" Liu Wei wanted to interrogate the spies in person, but the dragoon guard officer did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down to answer.

The man who was escorted by the dragoon guards always held his head high, with an unyielding posture of preferring death.

Just looking at his arrogant appearance, Liu Wei had already determined that the dragoon guard did not catch the wrong person.

What upset him was that before he had made the decision to go to war with Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent spies to Luoyang.

From this point of view, I am afraid that Cao Cao is ready to start a war with him.

Standing at the door of the palace, Liu Wei's brows tightened, and he was silent for a moment and said to Wang Zhen: "You go and invite Jia Xu here, this king is waiting for him in the elephant barracks!" ”

"No!" Wang Zhen responded with a fist, turned over on the war horse, and rode to Jia Xu's official mansion.

When Wang Zhen went to look for Jia Xu, Liu Wei led Xu Shu, Wang Liu and others on horseback, and slowly walked along the street towards the elephant barracks.

The procession marched very slowly, and as they rode their horses along the streets, Liu Wei frowned, thinking about the dragoon guards catching Cao Jun's spies.

"Your Highness!" After walking through two streets, Liu Wei was speechless, and Xu Shu asked him in a low voice, "But are you thinking about the Cao Jun spy?" ”

"Exactly!" Nodding, Liu Wei said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Shao intends to compete with Cao Cao for Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and this king has no intention of using soldiers, so why did Cao Cao send spies to Luoyang?" Isn't he afraid that the king will catch the spies and then raise an army to fight? ”

"Although Cao Cao is jealous of His Highness, he also knows that His Highness will not use soldiers lightly!" Xu Shu shook his head, sighed lightly and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is a Miao descendant of the Han family, and now Your Highness is in the hands of Cao Cao, even if Your Highness intends to replace him, it is absolutely impossible to hurt His Majesty's life, otherwise the heroes of the world will definitely use His Highness to kill each other in the name of His Highness." ”

Liu Wei originally traveled to this era, and he didn't have any brotherhood for Liu Xie at all, even if it was Liu Wei in the past, if he had this kind of opportunity, it would be impossible to scruple about Liu Xie.

"This king can only say, then Cao Cao thinks too much!" While riding along the street, Liu Wei pouted and sneered, and said to Xu Shu: "In this world, it is the king, even if the king kills Liu Xie and sits on the throne of God, who can say anything?" If it weren't for Dong Zhuo back then, how could this king be just the king of Qin? ”

Never heard Liu Wei say such a thing, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and did not dare to respond.

In Xu Shu's view, Liu argued that the emperor was just taking back what should have belonged to him, and that the heroes from all walks of life who wanted to crusade against Liu Wei were just trying to figure out the excuse of guò and break up the Han community.

It's just that Xu Shu secretly felt that it was not the time for Liu Wei to be the emperor at this time.

"Why didn't Yuan Zhi say anything?" Turning his head to look at Xu Shu, Liu Wei smiled slightly and asked him, "But I feel that this king said these words a little early?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Wei asked the question directly, and Xu Shu didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly said: "It is true that His Royal Highness is the lord of the world, but now His Majesty has been on the throne for a long time, and the world is full of heroes, and His Royal Highness is called ......the emperor too early."

Nodding, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and asked Xu Shu: "With the meaning of Yuan Zhi, when should this king be called emperor?" ”

"Two more years!" Looking at Liu Wei, Xu Shu did not shy away from saying: "Although the Qin army is strong in battle and competes for the world with heroes from all walks of life, it will definitely not lose, but if the heroes are united, His Highness will be tired of coping. ”

Liu Wei did not refute Xu Shu, and he also felt that what Xu Shu said was true.

However, he had another consideration in his heart, if the time was really ripe, then it would be a good way to do it.

Before they knew it, they had arrived outside the elephant barracks.

Knowing that Liu Wei was coming, Dian Wei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led a team of elephant soldiers to meet him.

The elephant barracks is divided into two layers, the outer one is the resting place of the soldiers in the battalion, and the inner side is the training ground for war elephants.

Outside the barracks, the cries of war elephants inside could not be heard at all.

Seeing Dian Wei coming out, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off the horse, walked to Dian Wei's side, patted him lightly on the arm twice, and asked, "How is the training of war elephants?" ”

"Back to His Highness, according to the Southern Barbarian training method, the war elephant has already begun to prepare for combat power!" Holding his fists and bowing to Liu Wei, Dian Wei then asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness said that day, if you go to Huainan, you will definitely bring the last general, but you really went out to fight but did not call the last general......

"Domesticating war elephants is more important than going into battle!" Turning his head to look at Dian Wei, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and said to him: "Once the war elephant is domesticated, this world is on the battlefield, and you can gallop!" Male husbands, do you care less about participating in World War I? ”

After being said by Liu Bian, Dian Wei lowered his head and smiled, and then made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bian and said, "Your Highness, please enter the camp to watch the training!" ”

Nodding, Liu Wei didn't say anything more, and strode into the elephant barracks.

Wang Liu has been here countless times, but he doesn't feel anything, on the other hand, Xu Shu has never been to the elephant soldier barracks, and when he enters the barracks, he will inevitably be a little excited in his heart.

Entering the first military camp, what appeared in front of Xu Shu was two rows of neat barracks.

There were no soldiers outside the barracks, but in the barracks, at intervals, one or two elephant soldiers were on guard.

If it is said that the first entry into the barracks is lax, there is nothing to say, and as soon as Liu Wei entered the second barracks, Xu Shu gasped.

What kind of military camp is here, it's like an elephant's paradise.

There are all kinds of wooden stakes and wooden circles in the barracks, and the elephant soldiers are training war elephants, running back and forth and playing in the barracks!

Unlike when they first arrived in Luoyang, all the war elephants were already much bigger than they were then.

While running, the war elephants chirped, and the whole barracks was filled with the cries of elephants.

Many war elephants, in the process of running, will use their noses to grab those wooden stakes and wooden rings, many of which have been uprooted by elephants.

Looking at the war elephant with strong collision power, Xu Shu's mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

It is said that these war elephants are all baby elephants, and the baby elephants have such a collision force, if they wait for them to become elephants, then what can they do?

"Yuan looks at these war elephants, what if he stays on the battlefield in the future?" Turning his head to look at Xu Shu, he happened to see him standing there with a stunned face, and Liu Wei asked him with a smile.

"Iron and bronze walls!" Really amazed at the brute strength of the war elephants, and when he heard Liu Wei ask him a question, Xu Shu subconsciously replied: "If the war elephants are on the battlefield, won't the enemy flee from the wind?" ”

"Not really!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to Xu Shu: "Although the war elephants are strong, elephants are also wild creatures after all, and they are born afraid of fire!" If they are not allowed to restrain their fear of fire and go to the battlefield, the enemy only needs to fire rockets, and the elephant soldiers will most likely scatter our array! ”

Hearing Liu Wei say this, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, with a slight disbelief on his face.

Seeing that Xu Shu didn't believe it, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Dian Wei on the side: "The soldiers set the stakes on fire, let the soldiers take a look!" ”

"No!" In the past few days, almost every day to train war elephants to face the flames, and now there has been some results, Dian Wei was trying to let Liu Wei see, heard him so ordered, hurriedly answered, and then shouted to the elephant soldiers on the side: "Set the stake on fire!" ”

When a group of elephant soldiers received the order, they hurriedly ran to the stakes and lit them one by one with torches.

When the wooden stakes were lit, the war elephants in the field were still a little flustered when they saw the flames.

However, due to the continuous training in the face of flames, the war elephants did not run wildly, but many of them knelt on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the expression on Xu Shu's face was even more stunned.

If it is a war horse, it will not be too flustered in the flames, and it will still carry the cavalry on horseback to fight the enemy.

War elephants are so sensitive to flames that they seem to have their bones softened at the sight of flames.

"These war elephants are all domesticated!" Looking at the war elephants that had been chaotic in the venue, Liu Wei always had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Xu Shu: "Now they are still afraid of flames, but after they become adults, they really become war elephants, and they should no longer be afraid of fire!" ”

"Intensify the training of war elephants, so that they will no longer be afraid of fire earlier!" Turning his head to look at Dian Wei, Liu Wei gave him an order.

Dian Wei, who had been carrying out Liu Wei's order, heard him reiterate once again that he wanted the war elephants not to be afraid of the flames, knowing that the impact of the flames on the war elephants might be related to the success or failure of the war situation in the future, and he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, so he hurriedly responded with a fist.

"Your Highness!" Watching the training of war elephants with Xu Shu, Liu Wei was thinking about how many years and months these war elephants would be able to really go to the battlefield as combat force, and Wang Zhen, who went to invite Jia Xu, walked in from outside the barracks, walked behind him quickly, hugged his fists and said: "Jia Zhonglang has arrived!" ”

Wang Zhen and Wang Liu are both people around Liu Bian, and the two are loyal to Liu Bian, and the entire Qin army knows it.

Dian Wei's elephant barracks forbade anyone to enter, but it was completely open to the two, so Wang Zhen invited Jia Xu, Jia Xu was stopped outside, but Wang Zhen was able to enter the room.

"Please Jia Zhonglang come here to speak!" Knowing that Jia Xu was coming, Liu Wei lightly instructed Wang Zhen.
