    The second Cao Cao!

    Fu Shou's charming face changed slightly, and a hint of fear appeared on his eyebrows.

    Yes, that Yan Liang was very cruel. If after getting rid of Cao Cao, this person intensified his threats to the Han Emperor, then her and Liu Xie's situation would be even worse than now.

    After pondering for a moment, Fu Shou sighed: "Give it a try, maybe there is still hope. If you miss this last chance, your Majesty will be killed by Cao's thieves sooner or later."

    Liu Xie's body was shaken, and fear flashed across his face.

    In the early days, although Cao Cao was very guarded against him, he was still somewhat respectful. However, in recent years, as Liu Bei and Yan Liang became kings one after another, Cao Cao's threat to Liu Xie has become more and more severe.

    Recently, there are rumors inside and outside the palace that the reputation of the Han Emperor is useless. Cao Cao has long regarded him as useless, and is deliberately trying to stand on his own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

    If this is the case, with Cao Cao's methods, Liu Xie, as the king of subjugation, will definitely die.

    "As Fu Shou said, although Yan Liang is cruel, there is a glimmer of hope, which is better than sitting still and waiting to die.

    Liu Xie's mind was full of emotions. After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Instead of relying on an outsider like Yan Liang, why not ask my uncle Xuande for help."

    Fu Shou sneered: "Although Liu Bei is the uncle of the Han Dynasty, he pretends to be the king, and his ambition to usurp the throne is already obvious. If the king seeks help from him, wouldn't it be inviting a wolf into the house?"

    "However, even so, Liu Xuande is more benevolent and righteous than Yan Liang. Even if he wants to take away my throne, my wife and you, the queen, will at least be fine."

    Liu Xie, who has been a puppet for a long time, always thought that Liu Bei was Xu Du.  The kind-hearted uncles he saw.

    Regarding Liu Xie's naivety, Fu Shou sighed helplessly and said: "Although Yan Liang has a reputation for cruelty, he is also aboveboard in his actions. He has conquered half of the world by relying on his own violence. What about Liu Xuande, for the sake of plotting.  But after using all despicable methods, your majesty has not figured out that Liu Bei is the real wolf."

    Liu Xie's body shook violently, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.  It was as if he was awakened by Queen Fu in an instant.

    Liu Xie was silent.

    The wind blew across Yuhu Lake, and a warm spring breeze caressed my face.  Liu Xie's heart felt cold.

    ??Thinking for a long time.  Liu Xie nodded slightly and sighed: "Okay, let's do what Uncle Guo and the others have agreed upon."

    Fu Shou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a rare relaxed smile appeared on his beautiful face.

    ¡­¡­

    Seven days later, Luoyang City.

    In the imperial palace, Yan Liang was naturally having fun.

    After the fall of Luoyang, from Xiahou Dun onwards.  Many civil and military female relatives in Luoyang fell into the hands of Yan Liang.

    According to the usual practice.  Yan Liang naturally rewarded most of the women's clothes to meritorious generals, while Yan Liang chose the most beautiful women among them to enjoy them for himself.

    For several days, playing and singing every night, Yan Liang unscrupulously enjoyed the happiness that a winner should enjoy.

    On this day, Yan Liang, who was beautiful in the night, did not fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning.

    There was no important military and political affairs today, so Yan Liang planned to sleep comfortably all day and have a good sleep.

    But he didn't expect that when it was almost noon, Zhoucang reported outside the door that Pang Tong's military advisor had important matters and was waiting to see him in the side hall.

    Yan Liang would not be so gentle that he would miss military and state affairs. When he heard that Pang Tong asked for an audience, he lazily got up, washed himself, and walked leisurely to the front hall.

    "Is there anything important, military advisor?" Yan Liang sat down lazily and drank a cup of tea to wake up.

    Pang Tong raised his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, someone in Chang'an City, Guanzhong has sent a secret message to your Majesty."

    Guanzhong?  Chang'an?

    Yan Liang was slightly startled and said disapprovingly: "Why, could it be that Cao Cao couldn't lose face and secretly sent a letter to the king to beg for mercy?"

    "Of course not. The person who sent the letter is Fu Wan." Pang Tong said with a bit of weirdness in his mouth.

    Finished?

    A familiar yet unfamiliar name.

    Yan Liang searched for old memories and soon remembered his identity. Isn¡¯t this person the father-in-law of Han Emperor Liu Xie?

    Historically, this person seemed to have accepted Liu Xie's belt order and conspired to kill Cao Cao with the help of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. However, he failed and Cao Cao destroyed the Fu clan.

    Of course, this period of history happened after the Battle of Chibi. Now history has been turned upside down for Yan, and this incident has also indirectly affected Yan Liang.A small life was lost.

    At this time, as Fu Wan, he suddenly wrote a secret letter to himself. Yan Liang quickly guessed the purpose of this.

    "It's interesting, bring the letter."

    "Please have your Majesty take a look at it." Pang Tong presented the secret letter.

    Yan Liang opened the silk book and looked at it carefully. Unknowingly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected it.

    "It turns out that the Han Emperor in Chang'an wanted to ask me, King Qin, to kill Cao Cao on his behalf. He also promised that after the event was completed, all the states south of the Yellow River and Qinling Mountains would be returned to our great Chu Kingdom. This Liu Xie is really naive.  ¡±

    Yan Liang sneered, his words and expressions not concealing his sarcasm towards Liu Xie.

    Pang Tong also smiled and said: "If one day, the king captures Chang'an and holds the Han Emperor in his hands, I don't know how the king will deal with the Han Emperor."

    "The Han Dynasty has run out of energy, leaving a useless emperor who is just wasting food. What do you think I will do?" Yan Liang asked coldly.

    His words were straightforward, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

    Pang Tong's expression was slightly stern, as if he felt a chill due to Yan Liang's murderous aura.

    Afterwards, Pang Tong calmed down and asked, "How does your Majesty plan to respond to this secret message from Fu Wan?"

    Yan Liang picked up the letter and read it a few times again, his eyebrows slightly condensed, and he thought quietly.

    After a while, Yan Liang said: "Although the group of old and young people who have been buried in Fuwan are not strong enough, if they are mobilized, they can still cause some trouble in Chang'an. I will just make use of them to make some contributions to my Western Expedition.  "

    The "contribution" that Yan Liang refers to is naturally disrupting Cao Cao's rear and responding to his army's conquest.

    "I understand." Pang Tong nodded.

    So.  Yan Liang asked Pang to write a letter for him and sent it secretly to Chang'an in reply to Fu Wan's request.

    The contents of the letter.  Of course, it is completely different from Yan Liang's true attitude.

    In the letter, Yan Liang declared in a surprising tone and with great righteousness that he would respond to the emperor's call, kill the traitorous ministers, and help the Han Dynasty.  Be a hero of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.

    ¡­¡­

    Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and before you know it, the spring plowing season is over.

    The north has been calm for less than a month.  Soon the rhythm of war entered again.

    The troops returning from the south began to gather towards Luoyang one after another. Within ten days, the number of Chu troops in Luoyang was reduced.  It has reached 150,000 people.

    Yan Liang issued a royal order.  An army of more than 100,000 people rushed towards Hongnong County to the west of Hangu Pass.

    While the army was advancing westward, Yan Liang did not forget to guard against Liu Bei in the east.

    Before leaving, Yan Liang ordered Jiang Qin to lead 10,000 troops and station them in Gong County to guard against the Yan army in the direction of Hulao Pass.

    As for the coastal ferries such as Xiaopingjin and Heyin in Luobei, Yan Liang ordered Ling to lead an army of 10,000 to guard against the enemies of Hanoi County in the north.

    at the same time.  Yan Liang also sent veteran general Huang Gai to come and ordered him to lead 5,000 naval troops.  Parading the Yellow River as a water line of defense to defend Luoyang.

    After taking over, Yan Liang left Pang Tong in Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation in the rear for Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang himself led two counselors, Xu Shu and Jia Xu, as well as Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wen Chou, Zhu Huan, Pan Zhang and other generals, and led an army of more than 100,000 to Shaanxi County.

    If you want to enter Guanzhong, you must first take Hongnong.

    Hongnong County is located between the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, facing Hedong County across the Yellow River to the north. In this section of Hongnong County, the Yellow River is narrow and the current is fast, so it is very difficult to cross the river.

    Hongnong is mountainous. The eastern part of Hongnong Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles, and the mountains are dangerous. From west to south are Kuzong Mountain, Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain that extend from the Qinling Mountains to the east. In the west is Huashan Mountain, all of which are inaccessible and primitive.  forest.

    The cities of Hongnong County are distributed like a line on the narrow plain surrounded by mountains.

    The counties west of Hangu Pass, such as Yiyang, Lianchi, and Xin'an, originally belonged to Hongnong County. However, Cao Cao was defeated the previous time. Considering that these counties were too close to Luoyang and could not be defended, they had no choice but to give up.

    Now that Cao Cao is in Chang'an, he has left General Yue Jin to guard Hongnong. General Yue Jin has 30,000 troops, mostly deployed in Shaanxi County, east of Hongnong City, trying to defend the city and stop Yan Liang's army from advancing westward.

    Yan Liang had to admit that Le Jin was indeed a veteran of Cao Cao's command, and his move was indeed very effective.

    Shaanxi County is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and is located on the narrow Hangu Road. It guards the east-west traffic and is like the gateway of Hongnong County.

      Not to mention that the city is strong, due to the narrow terrain around it, Yan Liang's army of more than 100,000 cannot be fully deployed.

    Because of this, after ten consecutive days of siege, the city of Shaanxi County was impregnable.

    At the same time, Cao Cao moved his troops to Huayin east of Chang'an, ready to leave Tongguan at any time to assist Le Jin's troops.

    Yan Liang's battle to advance westward was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

    At dusk that day, the attack on the city failed again. Yan Liang withdrew his troops and returned, gathering his counselors in the tent to discuss a plan to break the city.

    "I didn't expect that the terrain of Hongnong County was so dangerous that our navy could not function. When the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, millions of troops could not pass Hongnong. It is indeed a well-deserved reputation." Xu Shu sighed.

    Yan Liang stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and said: "The reason why Le Jin dared to gather all his troops in Shaanxi County is because he relied on the Yellow River to the north and the Kuzong Mountain to the south. Not to mention the Yellow River, if our army  What will be the effect if we can climb over the dry roads, pass through Shaanxi County, and penetrate directly into Hongnong County?"

    ?Cross Xiong'er Mountain and go straight to Hongnong City?

    Yan Liang¡¯s sudden idea immediately shocked the counselors.

    Xu Shu thought for a while and then said: "I heard that Kuzong Mountain is inaccessible. How can my tens of thousands of troops climb over it easily?"

    At this time, Yan Liang turned his gaze to the silent man and said with a smile: "Wenhe, for you, Hongnong County is a return visit to your old place. No one has a greater say in the terrain here than you.  Tell me, can this Kuzong Mountain be plowed or not?"

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were all focused on Jia Xu.  (To be continued)
