Chapter 1219: Overnight Visit
It has been a few years since the elephants were trained, but the war elephants grew slowly, and they were not as good as the war horses.
Liu Wei asked him to sit down again, and Dian Wei, who didn't have much expectations in his heart, sighed, tilted his head, and sat down with a depressed face.
"This king intends to wait until the Gongsun Lan brothers and sisters occupy Liaodong and unite with Cao Cao to march south, and then send troops to clear it, what do you think?" After Dian Wei sat down, Liu Wei asked everyone in the hall.
"No!" As soon as Liu Wei said his plan, Pang Tong stood up and said, "Your Highness! Gongsun Lan and Gongsun Kang may plot to kill Gongsun Du, but if they want to defeat Cao Cao, it is very difficult! ”
Looking at Pang Tong, Liu Wei did not say anything.
Although Cao Cao does not have many soldiers and horses now, and his strength is not as good as before, he is still a fierce general and a wise man.
The Gongsun family of Liaodong is really not his opponent.
"As long as the Gongsun Kang brothers and sisters seize Liaodong, they will definitely join forces with Cao Cao to go south, and what Cao Cao wants is to use Liaodong to return to the Central Plains, and the Gongsun family in Liaodong will be annexed by Cao Cao!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Pang Tong continued: "Our army only needs to wait until the Gongsun brothers and sisters get Liaodong and send troops in the name of crusading against the great rebellion, so that they can take Liaodong in one fell swoop and kill Cao Cao completely!" ”
Pinching his chin, Liu Wei nodded.
Squinted his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he said to Wang Zhen who was standing behind him: "Go to Shouchun and call that Zhuge Jun!" ”
"No!" hugged his fists in response, Wang Zhen did not immediately order to go down, and asked someone to go to Shouchun.
After ordering Wang Zhen, Liu Wei said to everyone in the hall: "It's not early, you wait and go back to rest!" ”
Everyone stood up, said goodbye, and left the antechamber.
When Dian Wei, who asked Liu Wei to fight and didn't get the promise, he didn't forget to look back at him when he was leaving.
happened to find Dian Wei's somewhat resentful eyes, and Liu Wei beckoned to him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him beckoning, Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards him.
"How's the elephant training?" As soon as he turned back to Liu Wei, Dian Wei heard him ask.
"Back to Your Highness!" Holding his fists, Dian Wei responded: "Although the war elephant is not yet complete, it is also huge, and it is ready to go on the battlefield!" ”
Staring at Dian Wei, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth always had a faint smile, and he pondered for a moment before he said to him: "Good birth and domestication, when our army goes south, you will have a place to use!" ”
I thought that the elephant soldiers would participate in the conquest of Liaodong, but what Liu Wei said from his mouth was that it would be useful until the army went south, and Dian Wei instantly flashed a touch of loss on his face and said: "I don't know what year and month the army can go south!" ”
"It won't be long!" Swinging his hand at him, Liu Wei said to him: "The north is a bitter cold land, and war elephants like warmth, and fighting in the north has many constraints!" Go back, so that you can give birth to domesticate war elephants, and there will be a time for you to make meritorious contributions in the coming day! ”
Unable to go on the expedition, Dian Wei was a little unhappy in his heart, and raised his fists, although he responded, but the tone of the response was very helpless.
Helplessness was heard in his tone, but Liu Wei did not change his mind and promised him to lead the elephant soldiers to the battle.
When Dian Wei walked out of the front hall, Liu Wei stood up and walked straight towards the door of the front hall.
Hurriedly followed him, and when he went out, Wang Zhen quickly instructed a guard guarding the door of the front hall to send people to Shouchun to bring Zhuge Jun to Luoyang, and then followed behind Liu Wei, all the way down the stairs, and walked to the back garden.
Entering the backyard and walking on the bluestone-paved road, Liu Wei looked up at the moon in the night sky, which was already more than half a circle, and said as if to himself: "It's almost half a moon again!" ”
didn't know what the meaning of his words was, Wang Zhen, who was following behind, didn't say anything, just raised his face and glanced at the bright moon in the night sky.
The bright moon is round, only the upper half is missing a corner, judging from the full moon, at most three or two days, it is a full moon.
"On the day of the full moon, it is time for reunion!" Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Liu Wei sighed softly and said, "I don't know if Wang Liu can stay on Songshan Mountain, can he get used to it!" ”
Speaking of Wang Liu, Wang Zhen, who was standing behind Liu Wei, was also a little lonely.
Although Liu Wei left her twelve guards and two maids, on Songshan Mountain, after all, it was not as prosperous as the hustle and bustle in Luoyang City. In the past, in Luoyang City, the two sisters would go to the market in their spare time.
Staying in Songshan, even if you are bored, you can only wander in the mountains and forests.
Thinking about Wang Liu's upcoming days, Wang Zhen was a little unbearable in his heart.
sighed softly, she really wanted to tell Liu Wei about the things in Wang Liu's heart, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything anyway.
Walking in front, Liu Wei didn't notice the strangeness in her expression.
The two walked silently one after the other, and after a while, they came to the dormitory where Liu Xie lived.
Liu Xie's bedroom is still far from the bedroom of Liu Wei's princesses.
Standing on the outside of his bedroom, Liu Wei lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Wang Zhen: "Go in with this king and see Your Majesty!" ”
The altar on Songshan Mountain has reached the end of construction, and the auspicious day selected is not too long ago.
It won't take long for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to change to Liu Wei.
Now that the Zen ceremony has not yet been completed, when calling Liu Xie, Liu Wei still respectfully calls it "Majesty"!
During the time when Liu Xie was welcomed to Luoyang, Liu Wei rarely went to see him.
I just returned from Songshan, although it was late, I should go to meet Liu Xie.
Wang Zhen answered, and followed Liu Wei to Liu Xie's bedroom.
The dormitory was quiet, there was not even a single candle and a half-star, and it was obvious that the people inside had already slept.
Outside the door of the dormitory, Wang Zhen stepped forward, grabbed the knocker and knocked gently.
In the palace, there must be something important to knock on the door in the middle of the night, and the knocker sounded twice, and then the voice of the guard on duty inside came: "Who knocks on the door?" ”
"Your Highness has come to meet Your Majesty!" Hearing that someone answered the door, Wang Zhen let go of the door and answered.
Knowing that it was Liu Wei who came, the guards who answered the door did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly opened the door.
The sound of Wang Zhen knocking on the door had already awakened some of the guards and maids in the palace, and Liu Wei entered the front yard of the dormitory, and a group of guards and maids had already gotten up, stood in the courtyard, and bowed down to greet him.
"Your Majesty can have a good night's sleep?" Seeing that all that came out was a group of guards and maids, Liu Wei asked lightly.
"Back to Your Highness!" A maid bowed down and replied softly: "Your Majesty has already rested, and the slave will go and wake up Your Majesty!" ”
"That's it!" Standing in the courtyard, Liu Bian's eyelids were facing downward, and he thought for a while and said: "This king is looking for His Majesty, and there is nothing else to do, but he is just here to say goodbye!" ”
Dropping this sentence, Liu Wei turned around and was about to leave.
"Brother Huang, stay behind!" As soon as he turned around, Liu Xie's voice came from behind him.
Hearing Liu Xie's words, Liu Wei glanced back.
I saw Liu Xie wearing a snow-white coat, not even wearing shoes, and ran out of the dormitory barefoot.
Finding that Liu Xie ran out barefoot, Liu Wei turned around, raised his fists and arched at him, and said with a smile: "This Wang Fang rushed back from Songshan, passed by His Majesty's residence, and specially came to greet him. That's all, nothing else! ”
"King Qin!" Running in front of him, Liu Xie hugged his fists and bowed to him, and said with a respectful face: "Brother Huang has returned from afar, you should inform Yu I in advance, and I will go out of the city to greet him!" ”
Smiled and arched his hand towards Liu Xie, Liu Wei said to him: "This king is a feudal marquis, and His Majesty is the son of today, how can there be a son of heaven in this world who goes out of the city to greet the prince?" ”
Liu Wei said a word, and Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red to the base of his neck.
has been a puppet for ten years, and he has long been accustomed to showing weakness to the heroes who control him as the Son of Heaven.
In the days when he arrived in Luoyang, Liu Wei had only met him two or three times, and every time he saw Liu Bian, he would feel a chill when he thought of what had happened back then, for fear that Liu Wei would harm him.
It was precisely because of this that when he learned that Liu Wei had come to the dormitory, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment, he didn't wear shoes, and he didn't put on his coat, so he ran out in a panic.
There was no meaning of blame in Liu's defense, but thinking of being controlled by people for so many years, seeing the Han falling apart, but he was powerless to return to the sky, Liu Xie also felt a burst of guilt in his heart.
Thinking about it carefully, for so many years, he has been constrained by Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, and it has always been difficult for him to achieve great things.
But in these years, Liu Wei has grown his power, occupied Daqin, and recently incorporated Hebei into the territory.
In addition to occupying Hebei, the Qin army in the east is still encroaching on Shandong, and it will not be long before the entire Central Plains and the eastern coast will completely fall into the hands of the Qin king.
If this momentum continues, it will not take a few years for the Han Dynasty to be unified, and the world will be in the hands of the Han family!
Liu Wei is indeed more suitable to be an emperor than him!
sighed in his heart, and Liu Xie's face also instantly revealed a touch of loss.
However, this loss did not last long, only a flash on his face, and then it was fleeting.
made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei, and Liu Xie said: "Since the imperial brother has arrived here, please follow me in and speak!" ”
It was already late, and Liu Wei came here, but he just wanted to see Liu Xie, and he didn't have much to say to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Wei said: "The queen and the princess are already sleeping peacefully when they think about it, and this king is afraid that something is wrong when he enters it!" ”
"Although I have just slept, I am not tired at the moment." Liu Wei refused to enter, and Liu Xie said with some loss: "In the past few days, I have a lot of things I want to say to the imperial brother, but the imperial brother is not in Luoyang, if I don't say it today, I am afraid that it will be suffocated!" ”
Liu Xie's words were sincere, Liu Wei thought about it, and said to him: "That is the case, you and I will go to the lake to set up a table, while drinking and enjoying the scenery, Your Majesty Xià while talking to the king about what is in your heart, how about it?" ”
