At this time, Liu Xie was eager to return to Chang'an and Luoyang.

After all, in this cold and bitter cold place in the west, he was not comfortable at all.

As a prince, he has been pampered since he was a child.

The climate in Liangzhou is dry, and there is a lot of wind and sand, he can't eat and sleep well when he comes here, and his face is pale all day because of the water and soil.

At the moment, he was no longer the emperor, so he felt that he was useless to Li Dao and others.

Li Wei looked at Liu Xie, who was full of anticipation, and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, don't think about this matter." ”

When Liu Xie heard that Li Dao was still calling himself Your Majesty, he immediately became anxious.

"General Li, I said it all, I am no longer the emperor, why do you still call me Your Majesty?"

"The Cao family said that they would let Liu Wei be the emperor and not recognize you as the emperor, so we will be the same as him, and we will not recognize Liu Wei, but only Your Majesty."

Li Wei explained lightly, for these leaders of their Xiliang, Liu Xie was their hole card for raising troops.

If there is no Liu Xie, then they will raise troops in Xiliang, and their name will be unjustifiable.

Liu Xie wanted to continue arguing at this time, but Guo Yan on the side didn't want to listen to him anymore.

I saw Guo Yan frowning: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, let you be the emperor, you will be worthy of you, if you don't be the emperor, then it will be useless for us to raise you!" ”

When he said this, there was a trace of murderous intent in Guo Yan's eyes.

After Liu Xie saw Guo Yan's appearance, he immediately stopped talking.

Because he knew that this guy Guo Yan really dared to kill him.

Li Dao on the side saw Guo Yan's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "Okay, Brother Guo, don't scare our Emperor Majesty." ”

After saying this, Li Dao looked at Liu Xie again: "Your Majesty, it's not that our brothers don't want to let you go, it's just that now the Xiliang Army is not the only one with the final say." ”

"Even if the two of us agree to let Your Majesty leave, then Ma Teng and Han Sui will not let you leave, so you must not have the idea of leaving Xiliang in the future."

"If Ma Teng and Han Sui know, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's life will really not be saved!"

Li Dao and Guo Yan, one sang with a white face and the other with a red face, which directly shocked Liu Xie.

At this time, Liu Xie was still resentful in his heart, resentful of why he was born in the emperor's family.

But what he didn't know was that he was born in the emperor's family, and he was lucky.

After all, in this troubled world, the children of the ordinary people don't know how many have died.

……

On the Luoyang side, after Liu Wei ascended the throne, the monarchs and ministers were united, and the court was in good shape.

Even when he was in the last dynasty, Liu Wei shouted: "Cao Sima and the hussar general are Huo Guang of me!" ”

Cao Cao was very moved by this title.

You must know that Cao Cao's background is not good compared to others, and his biggest childhood dream is to be a general in the west.

As a result, he has now made it all the way to Sima, ranking above the three dukes.

Cao Cao knew that most of the credit for his current position was his son's.

And the current emperor respects him so much, he is also willing to be a loyal Hanchen for the country!

Cao Ang, who was on the side, couldn't help but think of the turbulent waves of the Empress Dowager He in his heart after hearing this title.

"I may not be Huo Guang, but I must be your stepfather."

It's just that Cao Ang just thought about it, but he didn't dare to say it.

Moreover, Liu Wei also gave Cao Cao and Cao Ang privileges, and the two could enter and leave the palace at will.

Cao Cao entered the palace, it was to find Liu Xie to talk about national affairs, and Cao Ang......

Those ministers also knew that Liu Wei regarded Cao Cao as his uncle and Cao Ang as his eldest brother.

And Cao Ang especially wanted to say out loud that this relationship was wrong.

It's a pity that he can't, so he can only talk about it.

……

At this time, above the court, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other veteran generals were in a state of semi-retirement.

For these things about the war, Liu Wei could only ask Cao Cao and Cao Ang's opinions.

However, there were so many ministers in the previous dynasty, he didn't name them, so he could only ask.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my younger brother, King Chen Liu, grew up with me since he was a child, and although he was not born to his mother, I can regard him as my own brother."

"Now that the Xiliang rebels are holding him hostage and refusing to let him back, how should this be?"

The ministers are not stupid, so if Cao Cao and Cao Ang don't express their opinions, they will naturally not say anything.

After Cao Cao and Cao Ang glanced at each other, Cao Ang stood up.

"Your Majesty, the ministers look at the two of them, Li Dao and Guo Yan, they are just brave and unscrupulous, and the remnants of Xiliang they brought back are not to be feared."

"Now the only threat to King Chen Liuwang is only Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, as long as the imperial court sends troops to Xiliang, then the Xiliang army will be defeated."

When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but ask a little nervously: "General Cao, I heard that there are 300,000 troops in Xiliang, and all of them are as fierce as wild wolves. ”

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty is too worried, the Xiliang Army is only claimed to have 300,000, and these 300,000 must include the remnants of the defeated generals brought back by Li Dao and Han Sui, as well as the recruits who have just been recruited." ”

"In fact, there should be less than 100,000 soldiers in their hands who can form combat effectiveness."

When everyone heard this, they were a little shocked.

Because according to the news from all directions, there are indeed 300,000 troops in Xiliang.

But right now, Cao Ang said that the Xiliang army can really fight, less than 100,000?

This is to lie to yourself, young people, you can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself.

Even Cao Cao on the side frowned slightly at this time, but he was more willing to believe in his son.

Cao Ang is confident about this.

Because he had already controlled the golden eagle to fly around Xiliang, by sharing his vision, he saw the stationing place of the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang Army in the garrison of Li Dao and Guo Yan was not good one by one, and they didn't even have training.

After the recruits came, they also ate, drank and had fun all day long, and they didn't look like an army at all.

And Ma Teng and Han Sui's side are much better, because the Xiliang Army brought out by the two of them is all veterans.

It's a good idea for veterans to train new recruits.

It's just that it will take some time to form combat effectiveness.

After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui were not very wealthy, and they recruited new troops to pay military salaries, make baggage, and distribute grain and grass.

These are all costly!

……

After listening to Cao Ang's narration, Liu Wei asked, "General Cao, then, shall we fight directly?" ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he smiled: "Fight, don't fight!" ”
