Deng Zhan led the dragoon guards into the Hetao, into the camp of King Liwang in Zuogu, and in Luoyang City, Liu Wei's marriage to Liu Nu was also in full swing.

The entire Luoyang City, full of lanterns, and the festive atmosphere of marrying Liu Nu completely covered up the sad atmosphere of the defeat of the Qin army in Shouchun.

Many people in the city, in order to celebrate the marriage of the King of Qin to the Xiongnu, even spontaneously purchased festive dresses, and organized a festival-like celebration in the city.

There were still a few days before he married Liu Nu, and in the past few days, Liu Wei summoned Xu Shu and Chen Gong, who had stayed in Luoyang City, to the palace all day long to discuss Cao Cao's possible next strategy.

Marrying Liu Nu, on a great journey, Liu Wei was trying to find a reason to crusade and humble.

In Liu Wei's expectation, Cao Cao categorically would not let go of the opportunity for him to marry Liu Nu and take action against him or Liu Bei.

Kneeling in the main seat of the front hall, Liu Wei's eyes stayed on Xu Shu's body, waiting for Xu Shu to say his opinion.

Being watched by Liu Wei, Xu Shu only felt that his whole body was enveloped by a huge pressure, which was so strong that he was about to lose his breath.

Intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes avoided Liu Bian's sight, and Xu Shu said to Liu Wei after a while: "Now that the attitude of Gongsun Du of Liaodong is unknown, Cao Cao can march into Xia Cai in the north, and advance into Xuzhou in the east, no matter where our army defends, there must be a place exposed in front of Cao Jun's eyes!" ”

Looking at Xu Shu with a solemn face, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked him: "With the intention of the military advisor, if this king doesn't give up Xia Cai to Cao Cao, he will sit back and watch Liu Bei defeat him?" ”

Hearing a hint of annoyance in Liu Wei's tone, Xu Shu did not answer immediately, but set his eyes on Chen Gong, who was sitting opposite him.

Being looked at by Xu Shu, Chen Gong's eyelids lowered slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Liu Wei: "What Yuan Zhi said is not unreasonable! It's just that at the moment, our army is not completely contained by Cao Cao! ”

Chen Gong said that the Qin army was not completely contained by Cao Cao, Liu Bian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked him: "With the meaning of Gongtai, where should our army turn the tables?" ”

"Conquer the city, our army has no chance for the time being!" Clenched his fists and arched towards Liu Wei, Chen Gong said to him: "But as long as you make appropriate arrangements and hit Cao Jun hard, there is still some permission!" ”

"The public station has a plan, just say it!" Chen Gong said that he could inflict heavy damage on Cao's army, and Liu Wei immediately thought that Yuan Shao would lead the army south to fight Cao Cao in the future, and hurriedly asked.

Cao Cao is now attacking everywhere, in order to expand his power and make full preparations for a battle with Yuan Shao.

In fact, it was not that Yuan Shao was not far away to attack Cao Cao, but his army was too large.

It is precisely because he is very clear about this form that Liu Wei feels a little at a loss.

Go to Hun to make a rebellion, Liaodong Gongsun Du's attitude is still unclear, and Cao Cao now has two choices, no matter what, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.

If Cao Cao is allowed to become stronger, Yuan Shao will go south, and once he is defeated by Cao Cao, Luoyang will be surrounded by Cao Cao's forces.

For Liu Wei, he categorically did not want to see this result.

Once Luoyang is surrounded by Cao Cao's forces, not only will the trade routes be blocked, but all the strategic buffer zones will no longer exist, although the Qin army is strong, it is only a matter of time before it can be annexed by Cao Cao.

Compared with Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Yuan Shao was much more reliable to Liu Wei.

Two thousand years later, even if Liu Wei no longer understands history, he still has some understanding of the Battle of Guandu, and he also knows that in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was finally defeated by Cao Cao, thus laying the foundation for Cao Cao to seize Hebei and achieve hegemony.

Liu Wei did not want history to unfold in front of his eyes as the real thing, he hoped that his participation could reverse the outcome of the Battle of Guandu.

Xia Cai and Xuzhou, there must be a place that must withstand the large-scale attack of Cao's army.

With the combat strength of the Cao army, even if Liu Wei ordered the army to gather in the Xia Cai area and start a decisive battle with the Cao army, it was still difficult to conclude the outcome of the two sides.

Chen Gong had a way to make Cao's army lose more soldiers and horses in future battles, although it didn't seem to be of much use on the surface, Liu Wei knew that the weaker Cao's army's vital force was, the more powerless it could resist in the face of Yuan Nanjin in the future.

Knowing how huge Cao Cao's power would be in the future, and being able to limit him to early development, Liu Wei was still very happy to see it.

Looking at each other with Liu Wei, Chen Gong maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing to him and said, "Your Highness, according to your subordinates, it may not be very important for Cao Jun to attack Cai. They may divide their troops to Cai to prevent our army from rescuing Xuzhou, but the main force is advancing to Xuzhou! ”

Listening to Chen Gong's analysis, Liu Wei nodded slowly.

Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and Lu Bu sat in Xia Cai, counting the rout of the Shang Cai garrison and Shouchun's withdrawal, the total strength of Xia Cai reached more than 50,000 people.

Cao Jun's defeat of Xia Cai was not as easy as defeating Shouchun.

"Guo Jia's use of soldiers is often unexpected!" Liu Wei didn't say anything, and Chen Gong then said to him: "Although your subordinates expect that Cao Jun will not attack Cai, they are also figuring out what Guo Jia's intentions are. Xia Cai is located on the north bank of the Huai River, which is the key point of the Cao army's surprise attack on the south bank, and its location is critical, and it will never lose to Shouchun! Your Majesty begs Your Highness to allow your Majesty to go to Xia Cai and help a few generals defend the town! ”

As he spoke, Chen Gong stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Bian.

Looking at Chen Gong, Liu Wei's brows twisted slightly, and after a while, he said to Chen Gong: "As soon as the public platform leaves, only Yuan Zhi is left by the king's side, and there are many affairs in Luoyang City, and Yuan Zhi is afraid that he is lacking in skills......

"Your Majesty heard that Wenhe has returned from Xuzhou, and I think I can return to Luoyang in the near future!" Standing in the hall, Chen Gong maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Liu Bian: "At present, there are not too many affairs to be dealt with in Luoyang City......

"This king is about to marry the Huns!" Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Liu Wei interrupted him and said: "Gongtai stays in Luoyang, can be with Yuan Zhi, and deal with the matter of marrying Juji for this king!" As for Xia Cai, this king immediately ordered someone to go to intercept Wen He in the middle of the road, and asked Wen He to go to Xia Cai! ”

Liu Wei directly said that he wanted Jia Xu to go to Xia Cai, but Chen Gong couldn't insist, so he had to answer, and then went back and sat down.

Jia Xu has always been known as a "poisoner", and the strategies he offered to Liu Wei in the past were also extremely vicious.

Sending Jia Xu to Xia Cai, Liu Wei considered giving full play to Jia Xu's vicious expertise, and once Cao Jun dared to enter the Xia Cai realm, he would let them suffer even heavier losses.

In the first battle of Shouchun, most of the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command were lost, and the defenders of the city were almost wiped out.

Liu Wei decided to ask Jia Xu to go to Xia Cai, and Xu Shu and Chen Gong were already aware of his intentions.

The two didn't have many words, but in each other's hearts, they both knew that even if Cao Jun would not launch a main attack on Xia Cai, I am afraid that Xia Cai would also become another human purgatory after Shouchun.

Just when Liu Wei had just made the decision to let Jia Xu go to Xia Cai, a palace guard appeared outside the door of the front hall, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei in the hall: "Your Highness, Pang Junshi sent a messenger to return from Liaodong, saying that there is something important to present to Your Highness!" ”

Knowing that Pang Tong had sent back a messenger from Liaodong, Liu Wei knew that there must be something going on in Liaodong, and hurriedly instructed the guard: "Summons the messenger!" ”

"No!" The guard answered, clenched his fists and bowed back.

It didn't take long for an officer wearing the armor of the Qin army to follow the guards to the door of the front hall.

"Your Highness, the messenger has brought it!" Guiding the officer to the door of the front hall, the guard reported to Liu Wei again.

"The messenger comes in and speaks!" beckoned to the guard, and Liu Wei ordered in a very indifferent tone.

The guard answered, stood sideways, and said to the Qin army officer who was following him, "Your Highness called you in!" ”

The officer bowed to the guards with his fists, stepped into the front hall, and did not go deep into the hall, but stood at the door, and said to Liu Wei: "The villain is ordered by the military division to ask His Highness to go to Liaodong with Mr. Hua Tuo!" ”

As he spoke, the officer took out a letter from his bosom, held it above his head, and stood in the front hall door with his head bowed.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were standing behind Liu Wei, straightened their waists, and when they saw the messenger take out a letter, Wang Liu strode towards him.

When he arrived in front of the messenger, Wang Liu took the letter from his hand and turned to Liu Wei.

Holding the letter high above his head, Wang Liu half-bowed and handed the letter to Liu Wei.

After receiving the letter from Wang Liu's hand, Liu Wei tore open the cover and roughly skimmed through the contents of the letter before asking the officer: "Is Liaodong Thorn Shi really suffering from eye disease?" ”

"Exactly!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the officer said to Liu Wei: "There is a white object in the eyes of the Liaodong Thorn History, and now the vision is very blurry, and the military advisor has agreed to come to His Highness to request Mr. Hua Tuo to treat the eye disease of the Thorn History!" ”

Liu Wei nodded, read the letter carefully again, and then shouted to the guards outside the hall: "Quickly invite Mr. Hua Tuo to come!" ”

One of the guards outside the hall answered and turned to leave.

After the guard left, Liu Wei waved his hand at the officer who reported the news and said: "You go down and rest, this king and Mr. Hua Tuo have discussed properly, if Mr. is willing to go to Liaodong, this king will order someone to escort him!" ”

"No!" After returning to Luoyang from Liaodong and asking Liu Wei to send Hua Tuo's officers, he received Liu Wei's orders, bowed down with his fists in response, and retreated out of the front hall before turning to leave.
