Luoyang Beigong, Jiaofang Hall, the emperor was sitting in the hall, playing the piano attentively, with slender eyebrows slightly raised, and two slightly tired eyes looked at the void in the front half of the piano, neither falling on the piano nor on the opposite Queen Song. Her white fingers slid flexibly on the strings, pressing and moving, like a dancing elves, the intense sound of the piano flowed out under his fingers, and there seemed to be flags waving in front of him, and the iron cavalry rang wildly, as if there were golden drums and feather arrows roaring in his ears.

With a dazzling twirl of the emperor, a strong voice suddenly sounded, and with the sound of "bang", the piano music stopped abruptly, and a string flew in the air like a snake, falling weakly on the piano table.

The emperor frowned and stared at Duan Xian in a daze, his face turned pale.

Queen Song's face also changed, and she was stirring her fingers uneasy. Now her face is thin, three points thinner than before she became pregnant, but she is more energetic and her eyes are more agile than before. She knew that the emperor was worried about the war in northern Xinjiang these days, so she played this song "Victory Song" to pray for blessings. This was originally a good thing, but before she thought, the strings were broken, and there was an ominous omen.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Song hesitated for a moment, then said to herself, "I haven't used my piano for a long time, maybe... it's too tight. It has disturbed Your Majesty's elegant pleasure, and it's really unforgivable."

The emperor sat upright in front of the piano table and said nothing for a long time. He picked up the broken string and looked at it. Anger and frustration flashed in his eyes, and suddenly smiled faintly: "One relaxation and relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs, people are so stringy, they really can't be too tight. Queen, you are too nervous."

Queen Song was stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slowly: "Your Majesty is very much. I am indeed a little nervous when I see Your Majesty."

"Hahaha..." The emperor laughed, raised his eyes and looked at Empress Song who seemed to be reborn, and nodded with satisfaction. When he was a little tired of Meiren Yuan's games and would rather lock himself in a side hall to do ceramics, he accidentally saw Empress Song, who had a fresh look, which surprised him and felt very fresh. He was very curious about Empress Song's experience of fasting for a month, so he had the interest to play the piano for Empress Song, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a disappointment in the end.

But he didn't want to reveal his thoughts in front of Queen Song.

The emperor stood up and walked out slowly. The queen stood up to accompany her, her face calm as water. The emperor was a little strange. If it were the past, Queen Song would definitely invite him to have a meal in the Jiaofang Hall. Why didn't he have any initiative at all today? Although he didn't want to stay here, if Queen Song didn't even mean to ask, he felt a little unhappy.

"Queen, has this time been silent?"

Queen Song smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you can feel at ease when you are quiet, and you are happy all the time. I am free to read the scriptures and pray for blessings. I occasionally feel a little bored, so I go to appreciate flowers and things, and realize the great way, without feeling of silence."

"Is that true?" The emperor's eyes flashed and he stroked his beard: "You are the queen, why are you praying for blessings?"

Queen Song was not too slow and bowed to her husband and bowed: "Of course I pray for Your Majesty and the soldiers in the northern border. May Your Majesty be healthy and may the soldiers in the northern border return victoriously."

The emperor looked at Empress Song in surprise. Is this still the dull woman hesitant for a moment? He hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and quickly walked out of the Jiaofang Hall. The queen stood in the corridor and greeted her. She turned around and returned to the hall as the emperor passed away.

Tang Yingzi pulled Wang Chu out of the palace and squeezed a face at Empress Song: "Your Highness the Queen answered very well." Wang Chu also smiled and bowed to salute. Empress Song smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just let it go. Now I have taken it lightly. It's boring to think about this favor. Let others do it. Anyway, I'm not in that mood."

"A woman's morality is first of all respect. It is not a wise man to compete for favor. It is also good to avoid it appropriately." Wang Chu comforted him for a few words and frowned again: "How can the sound of a good victory song break the string? This does not sound like a good omen."

"Don't worry, even if there is any mistake, it will not fall on your husband's head." Queen Song smiled, changed the string again, slowly adjusted the tune, and played the song "Battle of Liang". Wang Chu raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

The emperor had just left the Jiaofang Hall not far away, and the Central General Attorney Huan Xian came up and said to the emperor with joyful face: "Your Majesty, the northern border is victorious."

"Great victory?" The emperor was overjoyed and then became nervous again: "Who is a great victory?"

Huan Xian lowered his head and handed the battle report with both hands. The emperor glanced at him and did not reach out to answer him. He took a deep breath, took the battle report, opened it and took a look, and immediately smiled.

"I respect your majesty's power and lead more than 10,000 elite cavalry, go deep into the barren, travel three thousand miles, destroy the wild sand, slaughter wild wolves, behead 23,521 levels, and get countless cattle and sheep..."

The emperor was overjoyed and patted Jian Shuo on the shoulder hard: "My Northern Army General won again, won again, hahaha, go and tell the queen that I want to go to her for dinner and ask her to invite the eldest princess and Wang Chu, and I want to tell them the good news in person."

Jian Shuo was so happy that flowers bloomed on his face. He responded and trotted back.

The emperor thought about it and said to Huan Xian: "Go and inform the nobles and beauties of the palaces to go to the queen's palace for dinner today."

Huan Xian nodded repeatedly and hurried to the palaces to pass the message. After just two steps, the emperor stopped him again: "Tell Meiren Yuan that I want her to play the piano to cheer up, just the "Song of Victory"."

Huan Xian was stunned for a moment, not daring to neglect, so he hurriedly went.

Yuan Hui sat in the stone room. After hearing what Huan Xian said, his eyes twitched and nodded quietly. Huan Xian left. She brought up the pen on the desk and was about to continue completing the painting on the desk. But suddenly she felt uneasy for no reason. The pen was stuck in the air for a while, but she didn't know how to start writing. The ink at the end of the pen dripped down, and the originally refreshing picture suddenly became a ball.

Yuan Hui sighed, put down his pen, kneaded the painting into a ball, threw it into the wastebasket, stood on the railing, and smashed the railing with his fists, and said to himself: "God will make people."

...

In Danhan Mountain, a new city rose from the ground. The originally low wall of the palace city has been widened and raised, becoming a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Hundreds of city-defying crossbows lined up along the four walls, and there was a stove every dozen. It was usually used to cook water and cook, and in wartime it could be used to cook oil to retreat the enemy. A large amount of food and weapons were stored in the warehouse at the base of the city wall, which was enough for ten thousand people to guard the first half of the year.

No matter who it is, you will be shocked when you see this scene. Yuan Shao built a new city in less than a month. In any case, this is something to be proud of.

But Yuan Shao was in a bad mood now. Sitting in the corner tower at the top of the city, looking at the vast sky in the north, his face turned pale, the jade Ruyi in his hand was broken into two pieces, and the remaining half was tightly held in his hand, as blue as his face.

Liu Xiu wrote a military newspaper to him, which simply described the war a few days ago. These words aroused Yuan Shao's rage. When everyone thought that Liu Xiu would shrink in Bingzhou and could not stand, he unexpectedly made a thousand-mile raid, destroyed the Kuangsha Tribe at a speed of lightning, slaughtered the Wild Wolf Tribe, and sent the first letter deduced by the Rilu to Luoyang.

The emperor's edict has not arrived yet, but it can be imagined that at this moment, his military achievements in "capturing" Danhan Mountain have become a joke, and the original plan has no longer achieved his goal. He must make contributions and achieve even more brilliant military achievements than Liu Xiu in order to ensure that the goal of taking charge of the military power of the northern border can be achieved as scheduled. Otherwise, the Yuan family's efforts would be done to make a wedding dress for Liu Xiu.

He Yong is here, Han Fu is here, Zang Min is here, Guo Tu is here, Guo Xun is here, Shen Pei is here, Cui Lie is here.

Tian Yan and Xia Yu also came. Sitting among the crowd, Tian Yan and Xia Yu sat side by side, looked at each other, and no one spoke. He sighed at the same time and lowered his head.

The atmosphere was very dull, and no one was willing to speak first when facing this good news.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, pressed the anger in his heart, hid half of Yu Ruyi in his sleeve, and said loudly: "General Beizhonglang won the first battle, which is a great blessing. Now the Xianbei in the western region has been beaten to the point where he has no power to fight back. Our army's left wing is safe. How to arrange the next battle? Please speak freely."

He Yong frowned. He heard a problem from Yuan Shao's voice. According to their plan, occupying Danhan Mountain was the purpose. Then he waited for Tan Shihuai to come back to attack the city. When he was exhausted from attacking the city, he dispatched cavalry to raid. They should wait now. How could there be new arrangements? Does Yuan Shao want to take the initiative to attack?

"General, the horse is tired in spring, and it is not suitable for a long battle. At this time..."

"Liu Xiu can attack for 3,000 miles, why can't we?" Yuan Shao blocked He Yong with one sentence. He Yong couldn't understand. At this time, the horse was the thinnest, so how could Liu Xiu run long distances and win a complete victory?

Not only did he not understand, but almost everyone could not understand. Except for Tian Yan, he had also received a notice from Jia Xu that he had given priority to purchase soybeans and other refined grains that could guarantee horsepower. However, Tian Yan was reluctant. He felt that it was a pity to feed the horses with a large amount of beans. It was almost the same for people to eat. Bingzhou lacked grain, so how could it be so luxurious?

It was only then that he realized Jia Xu's intention. At that time, he probably estimated that Liu Xiu would return to Bingzhou. He also thought that Liu Xiu had to take the initiative in this season. Whether the war horses could maintain better physical fitness was the key to the key.

However, it is too late to say anything now. Even if the war horse is soaked in gold, the war horse will not recover within a few days.

So when Guo Tu said that the army should attack in several ways, and crossed the desert to pursue the Xianbei people like Liu Xiu, Tian Yan objected. He did not say why Liu Xiu could, and they could not. He just said that the current war horses were not physically strong and the effective combat distance was greatly reduced. Based on the most ideal plan, the army could only cross the desert. However, after crossing the desert, the army no longer had the ability to continue pursuing. Will the Xianbei people wait there for you to fight, and the army could capture the main force of the Xianbei forces as soon as the army left the desert?

Before Tian Yan finished speaking, Guo Tu lowered his face and said sarcastically: "Tian Zhonglang is originally under the command of General Bei Zhonglang. Then tell me, why can't we do what General Bei Zhonglang can do? Could it be that when he was under General Bei Zhonglang, he was as brave as a tiger, but as timid as a rat under General Bei's command?"

Tian Yan was furious. He hated this kind of scholar the most. He didn't know anything. He was just sarcastic. He was about to curse, but Yuan Shao snorted: "Everyone has identities. If you discuss the situation of the war, don't hurt the harmony." Tian Yan was speechless, stared at him for a while, and sat down depressedly, and refused to say a word again.

Xia Yu smacked his lips and didn't say anything. He had actually seen that although Yuan Shao is now the General of the North, he never regarded himself as a warrior, whether in his dress or his words and deeds. He was still a gentleman from a noble family, and he was close to those scholars. In his eyes, military men were inferior.

Tian Yan and Xia Yu were the ones with the richest combat experience among these people. They had no room for speech, and the other warriors had no qualifications to speak. They only heard Guo Tu and others speak freely, and soon came out. The army set out in three directions to attack. Zang Min, Tian Yan and Xia Yu each led 10,000 troops in front. Yuan Shao led the central army to support behind. When they encountered Xianbei people, they could fight, and when they could not fight, they retreated slowly, luring the Xianbei people to the front of the central army, and then gathered their strength to annihilate them.

At the same time, Yuan Shao ordered Zhao Bao, the prefect of Liaoxi, and Gongsun Zan, the chief of the Liaodong vassal state, to lead the Wuhuan people in western Liaoxi to attack, attracting the main force of the Xianbei in the eastern region and cooperating with the army to fight.

For a moment, the commotion in Youzhou broke out again and the public was in full swing.

...

Liu Xiu received a handwritten letter from Lu Min. Lu Min blamed him for intensifying the situation for his own selfish interests. Now Yuan Shao is going to attack with all his might and recruit Wuhuan cavalry and refugees. The people of Youzhou are uneasy, and many refugees began to flee. It took several years to stabilize the situation to become vanished. For safety reasons, he had sent Mao and his son back to his hometown in Zhuo County, because he was worried that if the battle failed and the Xianbei people took advantage of the situation, Shanggu would be the first to be affected. It is hard to say whether they can defend the military capital Xing and ensure the safety of Zhuo County and Guangyang.

Liu Xiu didn't know what to say. He had already expected to blame him, but he didn't expect that the first person to blame him was Lu Min. This nerdy senior brother has been the prefect for several years and is well-versed in military affairs, but he still knows nothing about politics.

The emperor's edict arrived at Yangshu Lake quickly, and Liu Bei and Fuwan, who sent the edicts. Liu Bei told Liu Xiu that he passed the exam last year and his grades were pretty good, but the admitted scholars had no job arrangements, so he had to find his own way at present, so he applied to Bingzhou. Fuwan is the husband of Princess Yang'an, and he is your brother-in-law. The Fu family is a family of classics and scholars. Fuwan has a good knowledge. Your Majesty arranged for him to write memorials for you. Speaking of this, Liu Bei smiled. Your Majesty said that you have left Liu Biao and cannot read the memorials and have no literary talent at all, so Fuwan was arranged.

Liu Xiu smiled disapprovingly. He was actually a military supervisor. However, Fu Wan had such a relationship, so he was closer than Liu Biao.

"Where has Liu Jingsheng been? I thought he would come after staying in Luoyang for a while."

"Governor of Jingzhou." Liu Bei quietly told Liu Xiu, "It is said that Liu Yan is likely to be the Governor of Jizhou, and Liu Yu may also be the Governor of Jizhou, but he still knows where to go. The news I heard from the palace said that if Yuan Shao wins this time, Liu Yu should be the Governor of Yuzhou. If Yuan Shao loses, Guo Xun may be dismissed, and Liu Yu may return to Youzhou."

Liu Xiu was shocked. This was the plan set by the emperor, using a trustworthy royal family to seize the states?

"Is there any news on Zhang Jiao?"

"Zhang Jiao became the prefect of Runan." Liu Bei smiled mysteriously: "Zhang Liang became the governor of Qingzhou, and Ma Qiang became the governor of Yangzhou."

Liu Xiu nodded. He was not afraid of Zhang Jiao's people as an official. The more people he arranged, the better. It would be better to expose all his strength. Zhang Jiao took a grassroots route. But to be honest, although there are a lot of refugees, if they really want to rebel, refugees will not be able to do anything. They possess too little property, too few people can lead troops to fight. Manpower cannot be turned into troops, and they can only become cannon fodder in the end.

Liu Xiu welcomed Fu Wan grandly. Fu Wan read the edict. The emperor praised Liu Xiu and his subordinates, and then re-placed Liangzhou into his control. Zhang Ze, the captain of the Qiang Guardian Zhou Hong, the governor of Liangzhou, and the prefects of various counties, as well as the troops they commanded, were all re-ordered by him to be responsible for the war west of Yunzhong.

This edict actually pulled Liu Xiu out of the General's Mansion of Zhengbei. He was already the chief general in charge of the Western Front. He no longer had to listen to Yuan Shao's command. It was estimated that Yuan Shao would be very angry when he heard this edict, but he had no choice but to be angry. He had been mobilizing troops for more than two months. Apart from occupying an empty city, he had no substantial military achievements at all.

"Your Majesty is very satisfied with the military achievements of the General of the Northern Central Army." Fu Wan said to Liu Xiu with a smile. He is less than forty years old this year, with a medium figure and gentle temperament. He smiled as soon as he spoke. While handing the edict to Liu Xiu with both hands, he exclaimed: "Now Luoyang City is circulating the heroic name, and I am very surprised that the adults can go on a thousand miles to the expedition at this time."

Liu Xiu understood, and called Jia Xu over, and then introduced to Fu Wan: "This is my chief minister, Wuwei Guzang Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, a descendant of Jia Changsha. If he can go to the battle this time, on the one hand, he relies on His Majesty's kindness and will do everything, and on the other hand, it is Wenhe's plan and has complete plans."

Fu Wan looked at Jia Xu and greeted him with a smile on his face. Jia Xu was a little embarrassed. Jia Yi's descendants were bragging and could not be taken seriously. He didn't dare to say it casually, for fear of being laughed at. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu said to Fu Wan seriously. However, the weight of Liu Xiu's words was of course different from that of himself. If Fu Wan could retweet him, no one would dare to say it in person in the future.

More importantly, Fu Wan passed down his family for four hundred years and gave up Princess Yang'an. His identity was unmatched. If Fu Wan could mention his name in front of others, the impact would be extraordinary. Liu Xiu pushed the credit to him, which would be of great benefit to his future career.

Liu Xiu held a banquet to greet Fu Wan, and then arranged for Fu Wan to visit several nearby cities to visit. Fu Wan came here without writing documents for him. He was like Liu Biao to serve as a military supervisor, allowing him to see the new policy of Bingzhou and spread it to the emperor through his articles, which would be beneficial for signing another three-year contract next year. Wang Yun knew this truth well, so he took the initiative to ask Fu Wan to accompany him to various cities, and Liu Xiu happily agreed.

Most of the counties in Shuofang and Wuyuan were originally empty. Later, Liu Xiu wanted to stockpile the land and considering that the city was safer, he moved all the people to live in the city and left the city only when sowing and harvesting. Now that it is not time to harvest, the people are all in the city, so of course they are not idle. Except for taking on daily defense, most of them are engaged in handicrafts. Only children under the age of thirteen can go to the school in the city to study.

Wang Yun knew that Fuwan was a scholar, and of course the school that was most interested in. At the first stop, he took him to the school in Shuofang City. Looking at the school that was not tall and majestic, but was cleaned up, looking at the school who sat upright and serious, and looking at the books that were neatly placed on their desks, Fuwan was very satisfied.

"Very good, very good. I didn't expect that there would be such a strong academic style in this frontier." Fu Wan smiled and said, "I originally thought that Jinyang Academy was doing so well because Cai Boyi was hosting it. Now it seems that my opinion is a bit biased."

"The adults have a good view. These teachers in schools are all students who have studied in Jinyang Academy. They are required to be teachers in each county for one year, then to be soldiers in the army for one year, and then to visit military farms or industrial mines in various places for a year, and finally to go to various prefectures and temples to be a clerk." Wang Yun introduced, "This is how much knowledge they can gain, know that people's livelihood is difficult, and after becoming officials, they can be sympathetic to the people's sentiments. Don't just focus on absorbing wealth and ointment."

Fu Wan listened carefully, kept nodding, and raised some questions: "The books these children read are only "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Filial Piety". What if there are good seedlings?"

"If you have good students who study, you will be sent to Jinyang Academy to be personally recruited by Cai Boyi. Those who like the art of craftsmanship can also go to the Taoist Academy of Jinyang Academy. When you get there, you can concentrate on your studies. School children from all over the country are just laying some foundations, reading some documents and counting numbers, and of course they are far from being knowledgeable."

"Dao Academy?" Fu Wan disagreed.

"The Tao Academy is the cradle of skilled craftsmen." Wang Yun's original attitude was the same as Fu Wan, but he has changed now. "Is there anything special about drinking wine from Bizhou?"

Fu Wanwan smiled: "Not mentioning the rest of Guizhou wine, this is strong but second to none."

"That's what the students of the Taoist Academy made." Wang Yun said happily: "The recipe for this wine was originally brought by Mrs. Lu from Shu. There were several good wine lovers in the Taoist Academy. They thought that although the wine was more fragrant than ordinary wine, it was still not enough, so they gathered together to improve it. After more than two months of work, they actually found a simpler solution."

Fu Wan was very curious: "Is that so, how to do it?"

Wang Yun smiled mysteriously and shook his head and said, "This is a secret. I can't tell you. Sir, you want to drink, so I can provide it for free, but if this recipe is spread, I will be beaten to a black stick. At that time, the powerful people in Bingzhou will chase me. What should I do?"

Fu Wan smiled and stopped asking.

Wang Yun immediately said, "Sir, please take you to see the meat processing workshop. The dry food for the marching is processed from there. Our army can win every battle, and this is also one of the killing weapons."!!!
