Time waits for no one, just seize the day.

Liu Xie immediately summoned Huangfu Li.

Huangfu Li was of medium height and slightly dark complexion. Although he was dressed in civilian clothes, he behaved according to the etiquette, yet he still had the cheerfulness of a general's disciple.

Huangfu Li expressed his opinion. He believed that Guo Si would definitely come after him. As for whether he would join forces with Li Jue, he did not dare to say for sure.

But the possibility undoubtedly exists.

Li Jue is a person who holds grudges. Yang Feng was once Li Jue's old subordinate. He betrayed Li Jue. Li Jue could not just let him go.

The reason why we didn't chase him before was because Guo Si, Yang Ding, Yang Feng and others joined forces to protect the emperor's eastward journey. They were not weak and Li Jue could not fight alone. Now Guo Si has turned his back, and the strength of both sides has changed significantly. Li Jue

I won’t sit back and let a great opportunity slip away.

In this way, the possibility of Li Jue and Guo Si joining forces greatly increases.

"The only one who can dissuade Li Jue is Jia Xu." Huangfu Li finally said.

Liu Xie's cheeks twitched, and his mood was very complicated. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or regretful.

"Jia Xu has probably left Li Jue and is now in Duan Xuan's camp."

Huangfu Li was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and after a while he sighed.

"In this case, Li Jue will arrive very soon." He counted on his fingers again. "Your Majesty should pay attention to Zhang Ji's movements. Li Jue and Guo Si are in the light, so we can still be on guard. Zhang Ji is in the dark, so we can't guard against him. If he appears suddenly,

It’s very damaging to morale.”

After listening to Huangfu Li's analysis and combining his own memories of two lives, Liu Xie was convinced.

Zhang Ji has evil intentions and must be on guard. If Zhang Ji suddenly appears on the battlefield when the two armies are fighting, thinking that he is a reinforcement, he will stab him in the back, and a defeat is almost inevitable.

Liu Xie thought for a while. "You should go to Shaanxi County."

Huangfu Li was slightly startled and looked at Liu Xie doubtfully.

"You go to Shaanxi County to deliver my oral instructions. I will be visiting Shaanxi County in the near future. Please Zhang Ji be prepared to pick him up."

Huangfu Li suddenly realized and bowed to accept the order.

Liu Xie added: "I heard that Zhang Ji's son Zhang Xiuying is a rare warrior. I want to worship him as Yu Lin's lieutenant general. If he can bring thirty or fifty knights to make up for Yu Lin's shortcomings, then

That’s even better.”

Huangfu Li was stunned. "Your Majesty, Yu Lin is very close to Your Majesty, and Zhang Xiu is in charge of Yu Lin's riding, right..."

Liu Xie looked at Huangfu Li with a solemn expression. "Do you think Zhang Ji will let Zhang Xiu come?"

Huangfu Li shook his head. "It's unlikely." He paused and then said, "If His Majesty comes to Shaanxi County, it is possible."

Liu Xie thought so and felt a little bitter.

Obviously, even though he was from Liangzhou, Huangfu Li did not think Zhang Ji could be used by the imperial court.

He is just another Li Jue and Guo Si.

However, he would not give Zhang Ji this opportunity. He planned to break out of this encirclement and go directly to Hedong.

Liu Xie calmed down and said: "There are many famous generals in Liangzhou. Although Sanming has passed away, those who come can wait. If Zhang Xiu can come, I will use him. If Zhang Xiu cannot come, the court is willing to forget about it and treat him with courtesy."

Huangfu Li couldn't help but be moved when he heard Liu Xie mentioning Sanming.

Huangfu Gui, the leader of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou, was his grandfather.

He pondered for a moment and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is wise, I understand, and I will set off immediately for Shaanxi County. Even if I cannot delay Zhang Ji, I will definitely try to convey the message to your Majesty to prevent any unexpected events."

Liu Xie solemnly nodded to Huangfu Li.

Huangfu Li took a deep look at Liu Xie, bowed deeply, turned around and left the tent.

——

Liu Xie took off his coat, and Fu Shou stepped forward to catch it. However, he was almost suffocated by the smell of sweat and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.

Liu Xie glanced at her and hung his coat on the clothes rail beside him.

Fu Shou's expression changed slightly, and he bent his knees to kneel down, but Liu Xie reached out to hold him up.

"Come get some water."

Fu Shou humbly agreed, turned around and went out, and arranged for two palace maids to fetch water and cloth. The palace maid wet the cloth and was about to scrub Liu Xie, but Fu Shou took it over. Fu Shou rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender arms.

, pursed her lips tightly and scrubbed Liu Xie.

After barely wiping her back, her arms became weak and her breath became thicker.

Liu Xie heard clearly, reached out to take it, and wiped his chest and neck himself.

Fu Shou stood aside timidly, his face red and his ears red.

The palace ladies also looked pale and stood cowering, not even daring to breathe.

After Liu Xie finished scrubbing, he placed the cloth on the edge of the basin and waved his hand.

The maids withdrew, and Fu Shou stood aside, looking embarrassed, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Are you tired?" Liu Xie said softly.

Fu Shou was slightly startled, then wiped away his tears and bowed slightly. "Your Majesty has worked tirelessly for ZTE, how dare I say that I am tired."

"Just rest when you are tired. Don't force it. The road to rejuvenation is long and will not be achieved overnight."

"I will wait for your majesty to go to bed."

"No, I still want to read for a while."

"Whatever book your Majesty wants to read, I will serve you with pen and ink."

Liu Xie turned to look at Fu Shou and couldn't help but smile when he saw Fu Shou's stubborn expression. Fu Shou had been standing in the queen's fine clothes for a whole day and was almost exhausted, but he still refused to give in. This kind of perseverance is rare.

"Guess." Liu Xie suddenly became interested and teased Fu Shou.

Fu Shou was at a loss for a while, but after a while, he forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty wants to revive the great Han Dynasty, so naturally he should seek it from the scriptures of the saints. As for which scripture it is, I can't guess which scripture it is."

Liu Xie shook his head.

Can Confucian classics save the country? Suspicious! Even if we do not put all the blame on Confucian culture like later generations, at least one thing can be confirmed, Confucian culture cannot cure chaos.

After all, reading "The Classic of Filial Piety" to retreat from the enemy is just the talk of a madman, and even Confucian scholars do not believe it.

Fu Shou said again: "In troubled times, we must use military force. Does your Majesty want to read Sun Wu's Art of War?"

Liu Xie thought for a moment and shook his head.

It is true that you need to read the Art of War, but now is not the time to read the Art of War. Being able to defeat the enemy by reading the Art of War once is just a plot in a novel, and it is actually impossible.

Instead of reading the Art of War, it is more practical to visit each camp and discuss tactical plans with the generals.

Fu Shou was at a loss. These two answers were the best she could think of. Besides, she really didn't know what book Liu Xie wanted to read at this moment.

Liu Xie thought for a moment and suddenly said: "You are from Langya, have you ever heard that it is too lucky?"

"Of course I have heard that Yu Ji is a living god." Fu Shou had an idea and suddenly realized. "Your Majesty, do you want to read the Taiping Jing?"

"Smart." Liu Xie smiled.

"But the "Taiping Jing" is a book banned by the imperial court. It is not available in the palace and has not been circulated among the people." Fu Shou frowned and thought for a while. "I think that instead of reading the "Taiping Jing", your majesty should read "Laozi"

.It is said that both moth thieves and rice thieves regard Lao Tzu as their sect, and they are similar but slightly different."

Liu Xie looked at Fu Shou in surprise. "Moth thief?"

Fu Shou stuck out his tongue. "I'm used to it, but I was slippery for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie secretly sighed and said nothing more. It was not Fu Shou's habit to call the Yellow Turban a moth thief. It was common in the imperial court. It was precisely because of this that they looked down on Yang Fenggeng and even Li Jue and Guo Si.

If we want to use the Yellow Turbans as the foundation of ZTE, this concept must change.

"Queen, come and sit." Liu Xie waved to Fu Shou to sit closer. "I want to talk to you."

Fu Shou was flattered and carefully sat down next to Liu Xie. Although he had just been scrubbed, Liu Xie's body still exuded the smell of hormonal sweat. Fu Shou's face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
