But Liu Xie did not change his plan because of this.

Hedong still has to go.

He had no hope of the powerful Hedong, his hope was the Bai Bo army.

If we follow the story of Emperor Guangwu and rely on the support of local tyrants to revive the Han Dynasty, then Hedong is indeed not suitable.

This is not only Cai Yan's point of view, but also the views of many ministers.

The reason why Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui did not object was that they were attracted by Hedong - they knew the situation in Hedong better than Cai Yan - but that they had nowhere to go at that time, and only Hedong might settle down.

But from a higher dimension, Hedong can not only be visited, but also very suitable.

The powerful people defended themselves by the fort, and ordinary people fled everywhere. The abandoned land was better used to resettle the Baibo army and cultivate the troops.

What's more, there are also benefits of salt and iron in Hedong.

Liu Xie asked Cai Yan to collect more information from Hedong and be prepared.

Cai Yan responded one by one, said some details, and stood up and left.

Cai Yan was trapped in the Xiliang army for several years, so naturally she had no clothes to wear. She now wears Tang Ji's clothes. From the back, she looks a bit similar to Tang Ji.

I just don’t know what she looks like when she wears her official uniform.

It shouldn't be worse than Shangguan Wan'er in the movie and TV series.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could revive the Han Dynasty, cross the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties with one foot, and directly enter the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

Although this road is not easy to walk, it is worth a try.

——

As the sun sets, Yang Ding stands on the platform, slaps the railings again and again, sighing.

The emperor's imperial camp was calm, and the figure of the messenger he was looking forward to did not appear for a long time.

At this moment, he could not expect the appearance of the emperor's envoy. Even if he issued an edict to punish him, it would be better than he was now.

He sent someone to the Imperial Camp to inquire about the news and wanted to ask Yang Xiu for help, but he heard that Yang Xiu was not in the Imperial Camp and went to the camp of General Zhang Ji.

Many people saw Yang Xiu heading east accompanied by Zhang Xiu. Sure enough, it was not Yang Xiu who avoided him.

The sent people did not find Yang Xiu, but found out about it.

The emperor will hold a celebration banquet tonight.

The word "celebration of honor" gave Yang Ding another loud slap.

This battle was so fierce that he could feel it even if he was far away from the battlefield. The emperor personally fought and killed Li Jue. Shi Sun Rui was attacked by the armored cavalry, and his position collapsed and almost died. The shooting camp shot empty arrows and drew his sword.

Go to the battle.

Everyone tried their best, only Yang Ding was the only one who was raising his energy and was lonely.

Originally, he thought that both sides were in trouble and was indispensable, but he did not expect that the emperor would go into battle and reverse the situation in one fell swoop. Not only did he kill Li Jue, but he also forced Zhang Ji to bow his head and surrender.

I suddenly became insignificant.

The credit is all the ones of others, but the shame is yours.

Yang Ding also knew in his heart that his subordinates had a great opinion on him. Part of it was because he felt that he had missed the opportunity to make contributions. Others could not even drink soup when they ate meat. Part of it was because he felt that he was ungrateful and was sorry for the emperor's earnest hope.

In order to deliver food to him, the emperor ordered the northern and southern troops to take the initiative.

But he saw that he could not be saved and wanted to benefit the fisherman. Even the people of Xiliang could not accept it.

You can take face but don’t take life and death lightly.

Yang Ding ordered the entire army to be on guard against the emperor's orders to attack.

There are many people who want to use his head to claim credit without the emperor's actions.

Even there is around him.

The more Yang Ding thought about it, the more uneasy he became, the cold sweat soaked his battle robe, one after another.

He called out to his two confidants and said in a hoarse voice: "One of you goes to the imperial camp and asks to see Mr. Guo; the other goes to the main camp of Zhang Ji, asks to see Mr. Yang. Go quickly!"

The two confidants did not dare to neglect them, so they hurriedly got off the platform, turned over and rode out of the camp.

——

Liu Xie and Jia Xu sat opposite each other and talked about gossip about the whole world.

It was getting late and the celebration banquet was about to begin. Almost everyone who was qualified to attend the banquet arrived and sat in the table set outside. Everyone was in a good mood, calling friends, chatting and laughing, and having fun.

Guo Wu walked over and saw Jia Xu present, his expression hesitated.

Jia Xu stood up tactfully. "Your Majesty, I will go and meet my old friend."

Liu Xie nodded. He valued Jia Xu, but Jia Xu's identity was just a servant, and he was not qualified to sit nearby. He invited Jia Xu to the tent in advance to speak, in order to show his closeness to Jia Xu, and he could not

The seats are the standard.

"Li Ying, Li Huan, please pay more attention to Li Ying."

"This is my duty." Jia Xu bowed with a smile and turned around.

Guo Wu approached and whispered: "Your Majesty, the latter General Yang Ding has sent someone."

"So, what do you say?"

"The general regretted it too late and wanted to apologize to Your Majesty in person."

Liu Xie snorted.

It was already this time, and Yang Ding was still scheming. He really wanted to apologize, so why did he send someone to test it? Just write a letter directly. He sent someone to ask, so he naturally wanted to save his official title and attend this celebration banquet.

As long as he is unavailable and attends a celebration banquet, he can claim to be a meritorious minister.

"What do you think?"

Guo Wu was silent for a moment. "Yang Ding resisted the imperial edict and refused to save him when he was dead, he should be punished according to the law. But I can achieve a small merit in this battle. In addition to Your Majesty's wisdom, Yang Ding also has a little credit for it. If he had not given me the elite armor, I would have

When facing the Flying Bear Army Ranger, he might be killed. For both public and private, I cannot ignore it."

Liu Xie thought about it carefully and sighed.

Now when he is not in the process of killing Yang Ding, he just wants to beat Yang Ding.

Although Yang Ding is abominable, he still makes some contributions after all.

If he hadn't restrained Li Shi, Li Jue's central army would have all been launched, and the situation would have become more serious. It's hard to say whether he could have a chance to turn the tables.

Since Yang Ding begged to Guo Wu, he thought he knew that other Xiliang people would not help him.

Taking this opportunity to make Guo Wu return Yang Ding’s favor is also a good choice.

"Have he sent someone to ask Yang Xiu?"

"Sent."

"You go find Yang Xiu and let him see Yang Ding."

Guo Wu understood and gave a deep bow. "Thank you Your Majesty."

When Guo Wu left the account, Liu Xie stood up and turned around the account twice, but he was still a little worried.

This battle seemed to be a big victory, but the situation changed, but in fact there was no essential change, at least not yet.

We must leave Huayin as soon as possible and rush to Hedong to get rid of the unfavorable situation of being surrounded by the Xiliang army.

Dancing with the wolf sounds very romantic, but only when you are immersed in the scene can you realize the horror.

"Your Majesty, the time has come." Taichang Wang Jiang, dressed in court robes, walked in and said loudly.

"Have the General of the Cavalry arrived?"

"All those who should come have come. There are still many who are not qualified to participate but want to see Tianyan. They are all under the plateau, waiting for His Majesty to receive him."

Liu Xie smiled and turned around and greeted: "Queen, are you ready?"

"I'm ready." Fu Shou responded, lifting the door and gently lifting it, walking out of the inner tent. She was shy and timid, looked at Liu Xie secretly, and greeted Wang Jiangshou again.

Wang Jiang bowed and bowed, turned around and came out of the tent, stood outside the tent, and shouted loudly.

"The emperor is here-"

The military officers, led by General Zhang Ji, and the civil servants, led by Situ Zhao Wen, stood up one after another, bowed and shouted in unison.
