Fu Wan came back to his senses and rolled his eyes, thinking that Empress Fu had endured the humiliation for so many years, how could he back down?
Anyway, if his daughter is related to this matter, then it is not related to him, but to the Fu Family.
So I decided to admit it!
He looked at Xu You coldly and said loudly and righteously, "That's right! I did it! What will happen to you, Cao Thief's lackey?!"
"If you want to kill me, just kill me! If I frown, you are my father!"
After hearing this and seeing Fu Wan looking like he was willing to die generously, Xu You understood clearly in his heart.
Fu Wan is indeed one of our own, and is also the internal correspondent of Your Majesty!
Han Dynasty There are so many loyal ministers, how can we regain our sight without being secluded?
Due to the many people in the prison, Xu You did not dare to reveal his identity. He snorted coldly and left.
At the same time, a memorial from Liu Bei was delivered to Ye City from Yi Province thousands of miles away.
Chapter 208 Yuanhao, if I False Son of Heaven, I mean if
Ah...
Ye City Imperial Palace, Son of Heaven Bedchamber.
As soon as Liu Xie got up, he sat at the desk and carefully looked through the memorial sent by Liu Bei from Yi Province, with a look of surprise gradually appearing on his face.
In this memorial submitted by Liu Bei, it first congratulated him on getting rid of Yuan Shao's restraint and no longer trapped in the shallows, and secondly reported the situation over there Yi Province.
Gao Gan and Zhang Lu has started fighting.
Although Gao Gan brought 10,000 elite troops to quell the rebellion, Yi Province's terrain was complicated, and Zhang Lu would hide in the mountains and forests as long as he was defeated.
And as long as there is no way to annihilate all Rebel Army, the other party will gather strength again before long, and this is the difficulty of religious Rebel Army.
There are too many believers, and it is too easy to replenish soldiers.
So Gao Gan is now entangled with Zhang Lu. Now it is not a question of whether he wants to support the enemy and slowly eat away at Yi Province, but that there is no way to completely eliminate this Rebel Army in a short time.
The approaches of Liu Bei and Gao Gan were completely different. After he found Liu Zhang with Son of Heaven's secret edict, he gave him advice, assisted in handling state affairs and improved people's livelihood, and gradually reduced the influence of Way of the Celestial Masters, so he won the trust of Liu Zhang.
Now Yi Province's reputation is gradually rising.
He secretly won over many people's hearts.
"Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all. It cannot be underestimated at all. It has only been so long and Yi Province has been developing so smoothly."
"Give him another year or two, and Yi Province will probably change hands like it did in history."
Liu Xie couldn't help but feel emotional after reading the memorial.
Ever since he asked Liu Bei to go to Yi Province to develop and contain Gao Gan at the beginning of the year, he no longer paid attention to the situation at Liu Bei.
Unexpectedly, only seven months had passed, and Liu Bei would bring such good news in the memorial presented to him.
Currently, Gao Gan is pinned down by Zhang Lu to Yi Province. If he brings his troops back to rescue Yuan Shao, all previous efforts will be in vain, so there is no need to worry about Gao Gan returning to rescue Yuan Shao.
And Liu Bei has gained the trust of Liu Zhang. In Yi Province, he is recharging his energy and developing slowly. He has great potential in the future and the future is even brighter.
Liu Zhang cannot beat Liu Bei.
"Lü Bu is having a heated fight with Zhou Yu at Yang Province, and Liu Bei has also established a firm foothold at Yi Province. I can't slack off anymore."
"When we get the land of the three counties, we can organize a wave of troops and start thinking of ways to capture the entire Ji Province, and then cannibalize all the Founding Base of Yuan Shao."
Liu Xie has bright eyes and a proud heart.
After capturing Ji Province, and annexing Qing Province and Bing Province, he can conquer the world without the help of the princes, as long as he is given time.
"After Yuan Benchu received my self-identifying letter from Confidential Letter, there was no sign of surrender at all. Thinking about it, I still don't want to give in."
"I just wonder if receiving the dog crawling letter I sent yesterday will affect his decision-making?"
At this time, Zhen Mi led a group of palace maids into Bedchamber and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time to go to court. I'm here to change Your Majesty's clothes."
Liu Xie nodded, put down the memorial in his hand, and then changed into Ceremonial Robe and Crown under the service of Zhen Mi and the maids.
Two years have passed, and Zhen Mi has become more and more beautiful. Compared with before, she has a bit more mature charm. If I have to describe it, she is a girl with the flavor of a young woman. The charm of a young woman with the flavor of a girl has been raised to a higher level.
Of course, Liu Xie had the greatest contribution to the reason why she had such a big change. After all, he had done a lot.
Looking at Zhen Mi who was arranging his clothes, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why did my beloved concubine come over to change my clothes today? Could it be that she wanted to see if I stayed overnight in other Imperial Consorts's palaces?"
Changing of clothes is usually done by palace maids. Unless he spends the night in a certain Imperial Consorts's Bedchamber, he will be served by that Imperial Consorts.
However, there have been a lot of things lately, and he basically rests alone in Bedchamber. Now that Zhen Mi has come specially to change his clothes, he naturally thinks that Zhen Mi is jealous again.
"Is my concubine such a narrow-minded woman in Your Majesty's heart?"
Zhen Mi was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and said unconvincedly, "Your Majesty I won't mind if I go to spend the night in any concubine's palace."
Liu Xie said regretfully, "Well, I originally planned to go to the concubine's palace tonight. Since the concubine has said so, I will go to Noble Lady Lü tonight."
"No!"
Zhen Mi suddenly became anxious, hugged Liu Xie and said, "Since Your Majesty has decided to come to be my concubine, how can you change it so easily?"
"If Your Majesty misses Noble Lady Lü, then just ask her to come and sleep with her... Your Majesty has not been to my concubine's palace for ten days and seven hours, and the last time she went was to Noble Lady Lü's palace."
I heard Zhen Mi counting accurately to the hour.
Liu Xie is also dumbfounded.
Zhen Mi's thoughts are really easy to guess. He even remembers clearly which palace he stayed at last night, and he still says he doesn't care?
"I know, I will go to see my concubine tonight."
Liu Xie rubbed Zhen Mi's face and comforted him.
Although Zhen Mi is a little jealous easily, he is not bad at heart. On the surface, he gets along well with several Imperial Consortss, and he has the demeanor of the master of Imperial Harem.
Only then did Zhen Mi feel relieved. He raised his head from Liu Xie's arms and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I came here today because I have other things to report."
Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhen Mi hesitated for a moment and then said, "My mother received a letter from home. The letter said that the cost of building Weapons and Equipment to supply the army is too high, and the family's financial resources can no longer support it."
"Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs these days, so he didn't come to my palace. I couldn't find a chance to tell Your Majesty."
Since Zhen Clan decided to assist Liu Xie, especially after Liu Xie got rid of the hostage of Yuan Shao, he began to invest regardless of the cost.
It not only provides logistics for Lü Bu so that it can fight in Yang Province, but also builds Weapons and Armor in large quantities to arm the army.
In addition, Warhorses must be purchased from You Province.
Although Liu Xie provides the new refining techniques of Iron-smelting technique and Refined Salt, the former is used to create Weapons and Equipment and cannot be sold to the outside world at will.
Although the latter makes money, it is really difficult to support such a large expenditure by selling salt alone.
The creation of Weapons and Equipment is really expensive, even if Zhen Clan has strong financial resources, it is a bit unbearable.
Hearing this, Liu Xie frowned.
This was the first time he heard this news from Zhen Mi. Zhen Clan supported him wholeheartedly. If he had no other choice, he would definitely not say this to him.
"Simply selling Refined Salt is not enough. The main reason is that now is the Age of Chaos. The industry selling Refined Salt has not yet been fully developed, and the manufacturing of Glass has not been successful."
"It seems we have to find a way to make money."
Seeing Liu Xie frowning and saying nothing, Zhen Mi thought he was unhappy and quickly said, "Your Majesty don't worry too much, mother said the clan can still hold on for a while."
Liu Xie gathered his thoughts and smiled gently at Zhen Mi: "Don't worry, my beloved, I don't mean to blame you Maternal Clan."
"Zhen Clan I have seen all the hard work you have put in over such a long period of time. I also know whether you are dedicated or not. The cost of supporting the army is indeed too high."
"I will find a way to solve this matter."
Zhen Mi then breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her worries. She was very afraid that she would lose her favor if she couldn't give Liu Xie any help.
After comforting Zhen Mi with a few words, Liu Xie left Bedchamber, thinking about this while heading to the Tai'an Hall to go to court.
Tai'an Hall, Court Officials have already gathered in the hall in advance.
Liu Xie walked up to Dragon Throne and sat down, starting his daily routine Court Assembly, listening to Court Officials report on the affairs of all parties in recent days.
Sima Yi was the first to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, after Imperial Edict was issued, most of the Cities 0s in Wei Commandery are now all declined after hearing the news, but Anyang and Puyang are still controlled by Yuan Shao Remnants and are unwilling to welcome Royal Army."
Under normal circumstances, it is enough to send Son of Heaven Imperial Edict.
Anyone who refuses to surrender will be treated as a traitor.
However, in the eyes of most outsiders, Son of Heaven is still being held hostage, but the person holding him hostage has been changed from Yuan Shao to Yuan Xi.
Those who do not surrender are basically the loyal ministers of Yuan Shao, while the Imperial Edict who refuse to give in to the "fake news" of Yuan Xi are stubbornly resisting.
And those Cities who surrendered were all just outsiders. They surrendered directly in compliance with Son of Heaven Imperial Edict. No one was offended. Anyway, they would listen to whoever controlled Son of Heaven.
This situation was completely expected by Liu Xie.
I used Yuan Xi as a shield before, so this side effect is inevitable.
But after listening to Sima Yi's report, he still got angry and said in a cold voice, "Disrespecting Imperial Edict and not welcoming Royal Army will be regarded as conspiracy."
"Where is Taishi Ci!"
Taishi Ci stood up and walked out of the queue, clasping his hands and saying, "I'm here!"
Liu Xie said, "I order you to lead an army of five thousand to attack Buchen! On the day when the city is broken, Rebel Leader Yi Three Clans, the first Wei Commandery thirteen cities!"
Taishi Ci was overjoyed and promised, "Within ten days, I will defeat Anyang and Puyang!"
After Taishi Ci retreated, Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and Zhang Liao and asked, "Wenyuan How are the troops and horses organized? Fengxiao Are the military supplies Grain and Fodder in place?"
Guo Jia came out and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Grain and Fodder, all military needs are ready."
Zhang Liao also stood up and went out of the queue and said, "I have marshaled my troops and horses, and I am only waiting for Your Majesty's order to send out troops Guangping Commandery and Yangping Commandery at any time."
Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. Although Guo Jia is best at strategy rather than logistics, he can still manage the logistics in an orderly manner if left to him.
"In this battle, Wenyuan will be the main general, Junyi will be Deputy General, and Hansheng will be the vanguard. They will lead 10,000 Xu Province Army and 2,000 Feathered Forest Guard. We will launch troops tomorrow and advance in two directions to recover the entire territory of Guangping Commandery and Yangping Commandery!"
Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Huang Zhong took orders one after another.
