Are you just going to stop treating Pretender Son of Heaven as the emperor?
Battlefield is surrounded by dangers, and no one knows what accidents will happen.
If you are accidentally shot to death by a stray arrow, the fun will be great. You Yuan Shao will also have to finish it. Not to mention that the whole world will attack together, but it is almost the same.
Taking a step back, even if Yuan Shao is not worried that he will die on Battlefield, isn't he worried that he will be kidnapped by Gongsun Zan?
Battlefield Robbery incidents occurred frequently in history.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "What exactly do Yuan Shao and Ju Shou think?"
Guo Jia said with a very solemn look, "You Province The war is tense, Gongsun Zan's resistance is extremely tenacious, Yuan Shao simply cannot defeat it in a short time."
"In addition, winter is approaching. If this battle is fruitless, we will have to wait until next spring. But now Yuan Shao just wants to win You Province as soon as possible so that he can free his hands to attack Cao Cao."
"This time Ju Shou suggested that Your Majesty should go to the front line to supervise the battle. Firstly, it is to boost the morale of our own troops. Secondly, it is to make Gongsun Zan take advantage of the enemy and not dare to act rashly! We want to use this to defeat You Province in one fell swoop."
Guo Jia was very angry at the behavior of Yuan Shao and Ju Shou. In order to defeat Gongsun Zan as soon as possible, he even put Son of Heaven in danger!
Dong Zhuo dare not act like this!
Liu Xie After listening, I just felt the word "danger" floating above my head.
After cursing Yuan Shao and Ju Shou in his mind, he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what should I do now? Is there any way not to go to the front line?"
Guo Jia shook his head gently and sighed, "Yuan Shao has made up his mind, Your Majesty is pretending to be sick but it's useless... Based on the current You Province situation analysis, Your Majesty is afraid that he has to go."
Although even if Liu Xie goes to the front line, Yuan Shao will definitely protect him extremely well and not let him be in any danger.
But Guo Jia still couldn't help but worry.
After all, there are always some "what ifs" in the world.
Assuming that Liu Xie really did something wrong with Battlefield, their plans, their forbearance, and their grand ambitions would all come to nothing.
"When will we leave?"
"Depart tomorrow. This trip will be led by Chunyu Qiong, who will lead Five Thousand Troops, and escort Your Majesty to You Province Battlefield."
Five thousand people escorted one person, and it was still in his own territory. Yuan Shao was very cautious.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
Liu Xie frowned when he heard this. Yuan Shao really didn't treat him as a human being. He had to set off immediately when the news came, without showing any mercy.
This is the helplessness of being controlled by others.
In addition, he also felt that the scene where the two armies were fighting, and Son of Heaven personally came to the front line, making Enemy Army dare not act rashly, was a bit familiar.
"Wait a minute... Yuan Shao doesn't want me to be the bellhop, does Son of Heaven?"
Liu Xie Suddenly remembered the deeds of a certain Ming war god, and felt horrified in his heart.
If that were the case, he, Son of Heaven, would be completely disgraced and would inevitably be criticized by others in the future.
"Why don't you see Wenhe? Does he know about this?"
Guo Jia replied, "Wenhe went to visit Xu You today. The news just reached Shen Pei. I learned about it from the official residence at the first time. I'm afraid Wenhe doesn't know about it yet."
Yesterday Guo Jia was chatting with Jia Xu. Now Xu You is very disappointed with Yuan Shao and even feels resentful. It is a good time to get closer.
Liu Xie felt that it was still necessary to ask Jia Xu for his opinion, and said, "Let Wenhe come back to the palace later. In addition, Noble Lady Zhen has returned to the palace and brought a reply from the Zhen Clan. Zhen Clan is willing to help me with all his strength in secret."
This news finally made Guo Jia's expression soften a little, but now that Son of Heaven is going to the front line, this is the current big deal.
"The most important thing at the moment is Your Majesty's personal visit to the front line to supervise the battle. I will go find Wenhe and go to the palace in the evening to negotiate with Your Majesty."
After Guo Jia resigned, Liu Xie's mood became more and more depressed, and all the previous joy due to the Zhen Clan's effectiveness disappeared.
"Yuan Benchu, you dare to let me come to Battlefield today, I don't know what extraordinary things you can do tomorrow!"
"A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time under human beings?"
"Ji Province... at least Ye City must be under my control!"
Chapter 134 I met Emperor Gaozu in my dream
Liu Xie left Xuan Room and came to the Qingli Palace.
He is going to the front line tomorrow, and he has something to explain to Zhen Mi.
It is a matter of whether Lü Bu can quickly strengthen his troops and horses, and it is also a matter of the Zhen Clan increasing his support for him.
Zhen Mi was tired from traveling all the way and had already fallen asleep. Liu Xie screened the palace maid and came to Zhen Mi's bed.
A sleeping Zhen Mi is still a sleeping Beauty.
Her eyelashes are long, her face is rosy, and even her nose looks cute.
Even though she was covered with a quilt, she could still see her exquisite figure.
"My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine, please wake up."
Liu Xie gently pinched Zhen Mi's fair cheeks.
"Well..."
Zhen Mi sleeps very lightly and wakes up when Liu Xie touches it.
He opened his eyes drowsily. "Your Majesty?"
At this time, she looked sleepy, looking lazy and weak.
Liu Xie was no longer in the mood to appreciate Zhen Mi's beauty at this moment, and said bluntly, "I just received the news from Yuan Shao, and I will leave for You Province tomorrow to supervise the battle in person at Battlefield."
"What?" Zhen Mi was shocked when he heard this, and he woke up with a look of disbelief on his face, "Your Majesty, but Son of Heaven, how dare Yuan Shao let Your Majesty come to Battlefield in person!"
Zhen Mi wonders if he didn't wake up.
Dignified Son of Heaven, Nine Provinces co-owner, Supreme Sovereign!
Yuan Shao A minister dared to let Son of Heaven go to the front line. This is simply treason!
Liu Xie sighed forlornly, "You Province The war is at a stalemate. Yuan Shao listened to Ju Shou's advice and asked me to go to the front line in person. Firstly, to boost morale, and secondly, to make Gongsun Zan take advantage of it."
"I am Son of Heaven, but it is really shameful and humiliating for me to be shouted at by him like this!"
Liu Xie said, angrily punching the couch with his fist.
Zhen Mi looked distressed and worried. For a Son of Heaven, there is nothing more humiliating than being ordered around by ministers and even used as a tool to win.
"Battlefield It's changing rapidly and it's too dangerous. Your Majesty You must not go!"
Zhen Mi looked frightened. In her eyes, Battlefield was hell on earth. If Liu Xie went there, it would be very dangerous!
Liu Xie said with a complex expression, "I am now controlled by Yuan Shao. He asked me to go, how could I refuse? I just lament that I cannot have the power, otherwise I will avenge my shame with the blood of Yuan Shao!"
Zhen Mi couldn't help but shed tears and said with red eyes, "I am incompetent and cannot share my worries for Your Majesty..."
"My beloved, please don't cry!" Liu Xie held Zhen Mi in his arms to comfort him, "This is Yuan Shao's fault. What does it have to do with my beloved? My beloved has helped me a lot by convincing Zhen Clan to help me support Great Han."
Zhen Mi's long eyelashes were covered with crystal tears, looking pitiful.
"I don't want to see Your Majesty be wronged, and I want to help Your Majesty more."
Liu Xie Seeing this, he knew that the fire was almost done.
"My beloved, if you are willing to share the burden for me, there happens to be something you need to do."
Zhen Mi immediately stopped crying after hearing this, looked at Liu Xie with hopeful eyes, and asked eagerly, "What does Your Majesty want me to do?"
Liu Xie said, "Since Zhen Clan has decided to support me, it will inevitably cost a lot to support Lü Bu in the future. I don't want to see my concubine's family suffer a huge loss because of this, so I thought of some ways to make money and some ways to smelt iron."
Zhen Clan does have money, but supporting the army is a bottomless pit of money.
Lü Bu It's okay if we don't have many soldiers and horses now. But once there are more soldiers and horses in the future, and we can support hundreds of thousands or several One Hundred Thousand armies, how can Zhen Clan be able to sustain it?
In addition, if you want to build a Elite Troops master, you must have a sophisticated Weapons and Armor. This is a desperate figure.
Therefore, during this period of time, Liu Xie thought about some ways to make some money in this era and the iron smelting technology for the Zhen Clan to try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and if it fails, there will be no loss.
"How to make money?"
Zhen Mi glanced at Liu Xie with some confusion.
Zhen Clan is proficient in business. The family's industries are spread all over the states, and they even do business with Foreign Tribes outside the country.
Liu Xie Is there any way for the Zhen Clan to make money?
"That's right." Liu Xie nodded and said, "Just a few days ago, I met Emperor Gaozu in my dream. Emperor Gaozu taught me "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", which contains many ingenious skills."
"For example, the manufacturing method of colored glaze is far superior to today's Ironworking Technology, how to use poison Salt Mine to extract edible Refined Salt... and some completely new styles of ordnance."
In this era, what is the most profitable?
Salt and Iron, silk, porcelain.
And ordnance!
The method of making money that Liu Xie wants to teach Zhen Clan is exactly related to Salt and Iron, ordnance, and porcelain.
This is also the best way he can think of to make money in this era.
The first is colored glaze. Ancient natural colored glaze is extremely valuable, even more precious than jade.
The colored glaze mentioned by Liu Xie is actually Glass.
Liu Xie has seen the manufacturing process of Glass and it is very simple.
It just has very high temperature requirements, I don't know if Zhen Clan can solve it.
If you can really burn Glass, why worry about not making money?
Those powerful families are willing to pay for luxury goods.
Next is salt.
Refined Salt and Refined Salt have always been scarce resources in ancient times, controlled by Imperial Court.
In this Age of Chaos era, it is an extremely profitable industry.
Nowadays, most of Salt Mine is exploited by powerful families, and ordinary people cannot participate at all.
But no one cares about what the ancients called poison Salt Mine.
