In Luoyang, in the palace study, Liu Xian stood in front of the giant sand table and looked at Antioch on it, with a look of thought on his face. There were many people standing around, and the important civil and military officials in Luoyang are here.

Chen Gong pointed at Antioch and said, "That Monica used the barbarians and played a trick of beating the world, trying to take the opportunity to seize Antioch. If Antioch is lost, the situation in the entire west will have a subversive change. Antioch cannot be lost."

Liu Xian looked at Antioch, thought and nodded, and said, "We are thousands of miles away, and it is useless to think too much. Since everything has been handed over to Wenhe, I believe he can live up to his entrustion."

Everyone nodded, but most people still had a worried look on their faces.

At this time, a female official walked in quickly. She first met Liu Xian, then quickly walked to Diao Chan in military uniform, presented a book of flying pigeons to Diao Chan, and then retreated.

Diao Chan opened the flying pigeon and read it. His beautiful face showed surprise. He hurriedly walked to Liu Xian and submitted a letter to upload it: "Husband, the information sent by Yingfeng from Yuzhang County."

Liu Xian's heart moved, and he immediately took the letter and read it. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He frowned and thought, "Has Cao Cao and Sun Quan had a conflict?..."

When the people present heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Zhao Yanran couldn't help asking: "Husband, is there a problem between Cao Cao and Sun Quan?"

Liu Xian nodded as he looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Cao Cao and Sun Quan have a disagreement. Cao Cao feels that the situation is hopeless now, and he should accept the failure calmly and surrender to us.

Sun Quan angrily scolded Cao Cao, and the two parted in disagreement. Haha, it's interesting."

Cai Yong said: "This is just right! Your Majesty is powerful and swept the world! In a series of battles not long ago, the Heavenly Soldiers and Kings led by Your Majesty severely inflicted rebellion and recovered two crucial cities in Chaisang and Wujun!

The rebellion was already scared, and finally realized that the destiny of heaven was to His Majesty, so he wanted to give in to his head! This is where His Majesty's power came, and the rebellion finally surrendered!"

Liu Xian smiled and said nothing.

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Mr. Cai's words are really correct!"

Zhao Yanran thought, "Cao Cao is a great hero, and it is really unbelievable that he surrenders!"

Dong Yuan nodded and said, "Yanran is right! I think this is probably their trick! I don't have to pay attention!"

After the meeting, Liu Xian walked alone by the lake in the harem, thinking about the war in the west for a while, and the situation in the Central Plains.

I don’t know how long I had been away, but I looked up inadvertently and was surprised to find that I had already walked to Xiahou Qingwu’s palace garden.

At this time, a figure swayed at the door, and Xiahou Qingwu, who was dressed in a lilac palace dress, led a personal palace maid out of the palace garden.

When Xiahou Qingwu saw Liu Xian, her face immediately showed a look of surprise. She walked up quickly and Yingying bowed: "Husband..."

Liu Xian helped Xiahou Qingwu up, and his hands moved down naturally and hugged her slender waist. Xiahou Qingwu's heart was rippling, and a charming blush appeared on her delicate face, just like the willows in the wind gently leaning into Liu Xian's arms.

Liu Xian smiled and said, "As soon as I got here, you came out. Is this called "a little touch"? "

Xiahou Qingwu smiled sweetly.

Liu Xian held Xiahou Qingwu's slender hand and continued to walk by the lake. Seeing Liu Xian's absent-minded look as if he was thinking about something, Xiahou Qingwu couldn't help but ask, "Are you thinking about the war in the west?"

Liu Xian nodded and smiled, "It's not just the war in the west, but also the Central Plains. I just received the news that Cao Cao and Sun Quan had an quarrel. It seemed that Cao Cao had the idea of ​​giving up the fight and surrendering..."

Xiahou Qingwu frowned slightly, didn't say anything, as if she was thinking about something.

Liu Xian glanced at Xiahou Qingwu and smiled and said, "Don't worry about it anymore. This kind of thing is naturally the concern of my husband. Come and accompany me for a walk." As he said that, he temporarily threw what he thought in his heart and led Xiahou Qingwu toward the front.

Xiahou Qingwu looked at Liu Xian gently and followed Liu Xian, like a bird that was dependent on human beings.

Antioch.

Jia Xu stood on the city wall and looked out at the seaside outside the city. He saw the Roman army camps sitting there like a city, with an aggressive aura rushing towards him.

Earl Nicosia, standing beside Jia Xu, said worriedly: "Twenty-five thousand army! How can we defend it?!"

Jia Xu said firmly: "No matter what, you must defend it! As a minister of the Han Dynasty, people are in the city, and people are in the city!"

Earl Nicosia was shocked and couldn't help but look at Jia Xu. Suddenly, something happened and asked quickly: "Sir, the situation here is critical. I wonder when Your Majesty's reinforcements will arrive?"

Jia Xu looked at the camp of the Roman army outside the city and said lightly: "Your Majesty has no intention to send reinforcements for the time being. Here we can only rely on ourselves..."

Earl Nicosia looked very surprised, but her eyes were faintly flashing with joy, and a worried look on her face, saying, "We have less than 50,000 people, how can we be ourselves?"

Jia Xu looked at Count Nicosia and asked, "Why did the Count say that? Do you want to surrender?"

Earl Nicosia was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why did sir say that? How could I surrender?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "I know that the great man is loyal to the great man."

Earl Nicosia breathed a sigh of relief, then said solemnly: "I am the noble of the Han Dynasty now, and I will definitely help the Han Dynasty resist any enemy's attack!"

Jia Xu patted Count Nicosia on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Then he glanced outside the city and said to Count Nicosia: "The enemy is still preparing for the siege, and we won't be able to attack the city today. Let's go down and rest first."

Earl Nicosia responded, got off the wall and returned to his camp.

As soon as he came back, Count Nicosia immediately changed his appearance, no longer feeling nervous, looked very relaxed, and had a smile on his face.

A confidant came up, bowed, and asked curiously: "Sir, what's the situation?"

Earl Nicosia smiled and said, "Your Majesty's army is preparing to attack the city. I think there will be a signal tonight. The Han people would never dream of us launching a fatal blow to them in the city!"

Looking at his confidant, he said seriously: "Send the order and everyone is ready for battle! But we should not convey our true intentions for the time being!"

The confidant responded and walked quickly.
