Shi Sun Rui was puzzled. Xun Yu was not a military counselor who accompanied the army to the military, and had been in charge of Guanzhong. How could he be heard? He looked at the emperor, hoping to get an explanation, but the emperor said nothing. There was no expression on his young and heroic face, but his thin lips were pursed a little tightly, and he lost his blood color.

Feeling Shi Sun Rui's gaze, the emperor hesitated for a moment, raised his eyelids, and frowned slightly. "Taiwei?"

Shi Sun Rui suddenly woke up and quickly withdrew his gaze and apologized to the emperor. The emperor grew up and was not the young man who regarded the king as his father and brother. As for him, he should always remember his identity and abide by the etiquette of the king and his subjects. He retreated, stopped outside the door for a while, squinted his eyes, and adapted to the dazzling summer sunshine, but his heart felt a little sad.

The emperor was determined to fight hard, and even Xun Yu could not convince him. Who else could stop him? Although it was a good thing that the emperor was a young man and being decisive and responsible was a good thing, attacking Nanyang was not easy. There were still a few months before the autumn harvest. Once the news leaked, Sun Ce had enough time to reinforce. Perhaps it was for this reason that the emperor wanted to personally lead the cavalry and support Yuan Tan, and lure Sun Ce's attention away from Nanyang. If he caught a fighter, the emperor would definitely fight without hesitation. In the infantry teamed up and went to battle with cavalry, which was the hope of using the suddenness brought by the speed of the cavalry.

After arriving in the boat and fighting with the back, it will be clear whether the 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty can continue. It is really surprising that the court has a strong cavalry and strong man in the northwest, but is forced to this point by Sun Ce.

Shi Sun Rui quickly left.

Liu Ye came in from outside, stopped, looked at Shi Sun Rui's back, thinking. He entered the atrium, and the emperor was stroking Xun Yu's memorial. When he heard Liu Ye's footsteps, he raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "How is it?"

Liu Ye sat down opposite the emperor and handed over a list. "This is the list of people who have contacted the outside world in recent days. It may be leaked, but who it is still to be identified."

The emperor took the list and looked at it, scratching his head. "There are so many people."

"Your Majesty is very true. I think it is impossible to hide it. I can only use falsehoods to distort the truth and the truth, making it difficult for Sun Ce to distinguish the truth."

The emperor nodded, pushed Xun Yu's memorial to Liu Ye, turned around and came to the map, and glanced back and forth between the sides of Taihang Mountain.

After the plan was destroyed, they soon realized that there was a very difficult key to overcome in this plan: whether it was to detour Yingchuan or go to Daowu Pass, the journey to capture Nanyang is not short, nor is it a problem that can be solved with more than ten thousand elite troops. It is necessary to have enough troops to fight decisively. There are more troops, slow movements and long preparation time, so it is difficult to completely hide Sun Ce's eyes and ears. He may have Sun Ce's detailed work around him, so he arranged for Liu Ye to investigate and see who would contact the outside world. Now finding so many people proves that their worries are not an unfair worry.

Liu Ye proposed a combat plan that confuses the public at that time. This plan includes two parts: one is that the main force of the infantry will return to Guanzhong to rest, prepare for the autumn harvest, and make an attitude of reinforcement of Hanzhong to cover up the real target of Nanyang; the other is that the main force of the cavalry will be stationed in Hanoi to support Yuan Tan, and enter Jizhou to fight if necessary. If Yuan Tan can still support it, then assist Yuan Tan. If Yuan Tan cannot support it, he will simply take Jizhou.

If Sun Ce can be attracted to Jizhou for a decisive battle, it is also a good choice. Jizhou is more suitable for cavalry combat, and it is obviously more beneficial to the court with obvious cavalry advantages. Furthermore, if Sun Ce arrives in Jizhou, the front line will be lengthened, and the burden of transportation of baggage will increase exponentially. In short, it is beneficial to the court.

In order to keep it a secret, he didn't even tell his name Sun Rui. So far, only Liu Ye knew it.

After reading Xun Yu's memorial, Liu Ye was quite surprised. "Your Majesty, what does Xun Lingjun mean?"

"He should agree with Jia Xu's worst plan." The emperor said lightly: "Has he had similar ideas before?"

"This is true, but after His Majesty's victory in the West, he never heard him mention it. It is really puzzling to mention the old things again at this moment. Although Yizhou is rich, it is just a peaceful situation and can only be a helpless choice. The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. It is a bit anxious to retreat to Yizhou at this time."

The emperor responded without comment. He knew that there were signs of competition between Liu Ye and Xun Yu, and he always encouraged this. "I plan to summon Xun Lingjun to come and discuss it, so it will be more muddy. What do you think Wei Ji will temporarily receive the Secretary of State?"

Liu Ye understood it. "Your Majesty is a wise and wise family. Wei Ji is a great clan in Hedong. Wei Ji is loyal and talented, and has been deeply advised by Xun Lingjun, so he will definitely be competent."

"I hope so."

With Liu Ye's support, the emperor immediately issued an edict, ordering the Taiwei Sir Sun Rui to command the infantry and Chang'an to reduce the burden of transportation of baggage. He transferred Dong Yue to the prefect of Henoi and stayed in Mengjin. He led Hu Ben, Yulin, the left general Liu Bei, and the right general Lu Bu's troops to move 20,000 elite cavalry to Chaoge, preparing to cross the river and enter Yanzhou to fight. At the same time, he summoned the Shangshu Order Xun Yu to the army, and the Shangshu's right chief Wei Ji was appointed as the acting agent of the Shangshu's right chief Wei Ji.

In mid-June, the emperor arrived in Chaoge and sent an edict to Yanzhou to invite Yuan Tan to meet.

Yuan Tan was trapped in Yanzhou, in a dilemma, and the peace talks were delayed from Sun Ce's response. Seeing the Yellow River rising, the Jiangdong Navy came north and could cut off the Yellow River at any time. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After receiving the emperor's edict, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After repeated discussions with Ju Su, Guo Tu and others, he decided to surrender to the court, and with the remaining power of the court, he united the emperor and Liu Bei to overcome the current difficulties.

In the late June, Yuan Tan personally rushed to Chaoge to pay homage to the emperor. He accompanied him with more than a hundred representatives of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Jizhou. The emperor accepted them one by one and comforted them greatly. He appointed Yuan Tan as the Marquis of Ye, with a fief of 1,200 households, and other civil and military officials and soldiers had rewards.

Just when the emperor and Yuan Tan met very happily, news came from Zang Hong, the prefect of Bohai Sea, that the Jiangdong Navy warship appeared along the Bohai Sea coast. Gan Ning, the commander of the Wu Navy, was commanded by more than 500 warships of all sizes and sizes, with a force of about 5,000. The pirates in the Bohai Sea responded and harassed the county, and might go up the river, cut off Yuan Tan's retreat, or go north, join forces with Taishici, and attack northern Hebei.

Yuan Tan did not dare to neglect. After repeated discussions with the emperor, he decided to accept the emperor's suggestion. General Dong Zhao, the bandit general, led 50,000 troops to stay in Yanzhou. He himself led the main force back to Jizhou and prepared to fight Ganning. He invited the emperor to enter Liyang Camp to observe the troops in the river, and patrol the Hejian at the right time. Hejian was the homeland of Emperor Xiaoling, and was in northern Hebei, adjacent to Youzhou. The emperor's patrol to Hejian could not only appease the families in northern Hebei, but also mediate the relationship between Youji and the two states. With the emperor in the middle of the operation, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei did not have to be wary of each other. They could work together to fight against Taishi Ci, who might launch an attack from Youzhou, and kill two birds with one stone.
