Chapter 819 Cao Cao's Problem

Liu He was about to go back for dinner, but he saw Qian Li jogging back suddenly, and he was surprised.

"Dao Zhun forgot to say anything?"

Qian Li took out a roll of cloth from his arms and presented it with respect to both hands.

"Xiaochen almost forgot that this is a letter sent by General Guan together, and it is stated that he must leave it to His Majesty to open it with his own hands."

Liu He's face changed slightly. After a while, he said in a plain tone: "Oh..."

He took the letter casually, then waved his hand and signaled Qian Li to leave.

"Father..."

A voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and Liu He looked back and it turned out to be Liu Zheng.

"Grandmother asked the child to come out and see if you have finished your business and asked you to go back and have a meal quickly."

Liu He hurriedly held the letter in his palm: "Oh, I'm done, I'm done, I'm leaving, go back to have a meal."

He stepped forward and took Liu Zheng's hand and walked into the hall with him. However, Liu Zheng poked his head out and looked at his other hand.

"Father, what is your hand holding? The child just heard that it was sent by his second uncle..."

"Don't talk too much, just eat well."

Liu He interrupted his question, pressed him to his seat, walked to his own seat, and sat down.

"Oh? Something is sent by my son Yunchang?" Empress Dowager Xu's eyebrows and eyes suddenly opened.

"He'er, what did Yunchang give me? Hurry up, let me show you."

Liu He secretly hid the letter in his sleeve under the table: "It's just a military newspaper that Yun Chang was in Liangzhou."

Xu's face darkened: "Since it's a military newspaper, I won't be able to read it. Come, have a meal, eat."

After lunch, Liu He said goodbye to the Queen Mother and prepared to go back and continue to preside over the government.

"I'm sending you to Your Majesty."

Diao Chan stood up and was about to follow, but Liu He reached out to signal her to stop: "No need, my beloved concubine will continue to sit with the Queen Mother here and ask Yu'er to send me back."

When Diao Chan heard this, Cherry pouted her mouth, but she still sat back obediently.

After Liu He and Zhang Yu walked a while, he suddenly sighed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I guess the second uncle sent a letter to plead for the third uncle, which made His Majesty difficult?"

Liu He looked at her in surprise, then laughed: "Sure enough, I know I can't hide it from you."

Zhang Yu said: "Speaking of this, although the third uncle violated the military discipline, fortunately it did not result in any evil consequences. His Majesty had already scolded him heavily that day and imprisoned him in the mansion for a month. His Majesty has always been deeply in love with four brothers who have been loyal to each other. It is already a big surprise to be able to be so cruel this time. At this moment, His Majesty might as well give the second uncle a favor, a military stick, and release him. Isn't it a good thing?"

Liu He glanced at her: "You have already known what you are asking for by punishing Gongyi in this way, so why should you ask clearly?"

Zhang Yu bowed to him and said, "I am a woman. It's okay to say a few words about life and death of my husband and brothers. However, I dare not talk too much about the interests of the government. Your Majesty also understands this. Isn't this too much?"

Liu He was stunned, then patted his head: "Hey... I have a wife like you. I really don't know if it's a great blessing or a great misfortune..."

"I'm here to send it. Your Majesty will do the rest of the road, let's think about it..."

Zhang Yu bowed and turned around and left.

Liu He looked at her back, and after a long time, he sighed: "Hey... Third brother, third brother, why did you get into the matter of Da Meng? I used such a method to save Da Meng. Although the ministers now do not know anything about it and dare not say anything, they cannot guarantee that there are no complaints in their hearts, let alone many scholars and people who do not know the truth. If I let you go, the misunderstanding will deepen. What will the people in the world think of me? These things are much more complicated than marching and fighting... Third brother, you really have a problem for your elder brother..."

A few days later, Jingzhou, Nanyang County, and Wancheng.

Last month, Cao Cao suddenly attacked Nanyang with a lightning speed and captured Nanyang counties in just a few days.

Most of the troops in Jingzhou were fighting with Jiaozhou Shixie, or guarding against Yizhou troops on the west side. Therefore, even if Liu Biao wanted to retake Nanyang, he was powerless for a while. After finally transferring back tens of thousands of troops, it was winter again, and the two sides were stalemate on both sides of the Mianshui River.

After the snow in Luoyang, more than ten days later, Nanyang also ushered in a big and small snow. Overnight, inside and outside the city, the forests were dyed with frost.

At the door of the Wancheng Prefect's Mansion, several civil servants and generals came back from outside. They took off the cloak on their bodies, shook the snowflakes on their heads, rubbed their hands, and quickly walked into the hall.

"call……"

After feeling the warmth of the carbon fire, several people exhaled a breath of white breath at the same time.

"Lord, all the Anmin Blogs of Nanyang have been posted, and soldiers have been sent to patrol the city to maintain the law and discipline. In addition, according to your instructions, the people's land tax was exempted for two years, from wealthy families to ordinary villagers, everyone cheered and cheered. This people's heart was considered to be used by the lord."

Xi Zhong reported to Cao Cao with joy.

"Yes, lord, in this way, after the beginning of spring, our army will issue another conscription order, and the people will surely flock to it. At that time, our army can not only use Jingzhou troops to attack Jingzhou cities, but also use local people who are well versed in water to gradually train their own naval army to lay the foundation for fighting in Jiangnan in the future."

Cheng Yu also reported it back.

However, the few of them were talking aroused, but they found that Cao Cao was frowning, obviously not paying attention to them.

Guo Jia stepped forward and asked, "What troubles the lord?"

Cao Cao snorted disdainfully from his nostrils and threw out a roll of cloth.

"Old thief Liu Yan, another imperial edict has been received."

Cheng Yu and his friends looked at each other in surprise. Then, Xi Zhong stepped forward and picked up the imperial edict and opened it to take a look.

Guo Jia did not look at it, and said, "I have heard a long time ago that Liu He ordered Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to transfer troops from Yanzhou to Liangzhou to prepare to attack Hanzhong. Liu Yan wrote a letter at this time. Could it be... that he wanted the lord to return to the army to attack Luoyang, and that the danger in Hanzhong has been relieved?"

Cao Cao suddenly slapped the table, very angry.

"The old thief is hateful, he bullies me too much!"

After reading the imperial edict, Cheng Yu and others were indeed exactly the same as what Guo Jia said, and they all showed anger.

"Is this Liu Yan really the emperor? First let our army attack Jingzhou, then let our army give up the city it has obtained, and the whole army pressed towards Luoyang. Where is Luoyang? Liu He personally guarded and operated for many years. The city is high and deep. The shocking crossbow that is enough to shock ghosts and gods is densely distributed on Hulao Pass and Luoyang City, and the city gates have all been replaced with iron gates thicker than Chenliu City. As long as there are thousands of soldiers in a Hulao Pass, it is enough to withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of troops. Isn't it the same as sending death to let us attack Luoyang?"

Xi Zhong looked at the imperial edict again and sighed: "Hey... But we have already announced that we have recognized him as the emperor of the Han Dynasty and fought with the Luoyang court several times. Now that Liu Yan's imperial edict has come here, if we are disrespectful, wouldn't it be like proclaiming that we are rebellious against the Han Dynasty? After losing Yanzhou before, more than half of our soldiers have already become dissolute. The lord finally settled his mind to the general. If such changes occur again, not to mention that the morale of the army is unstable, I am afraid that the people of the world will regard us as rebels."
