Liu Song's army, which had been stationed in Luoyang, finally began to take action. Truckloads of food and rows of soldiers began to move closer to the land east of Hedong, preparing for the battle of Hedong.

At this time, Liu Yu was still sitting in the palace making final deductions.

Luoyang has a long history. Since ancient times, it was chosen as the hinterland by the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty and built a palace city. Now it is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years.

However, after wars later, especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Dong Zhuo burned down Luoyang, Luoyang became a white land.

Most of the buildings in Luoyang today were built during the period of Cao Cao and Cao Pi. Nearly two hundred years have passed since Liu Yu settled in Luoyang.

Later, it became the capital of the Cao, Wei and Western Jin dynasties, so it naturally spent a lot of manpower and material resources to repair it.

Luoyang Imperial Palace City is located at the northern end of the city's central axis, with "the pole built in the middle". The Taiji Hall built is the first main hall of the palace city in China to be "built in the center", setting a precedent for palace layout.

The Taiji Hall is located on a tall two-story platform, with a width of twelve rooms. There are two steps on the left and right on the front to ascend the hall. There are four gold and copper pillars in the hall supporting a huge dome. Inside, there are lacquered tiles, gold steps, and silver couplets.

The golden pillars, bead curtains and jade walls are extremely ingenious. The windows are graceful, painted with clouds, and the five-color cattail mat is woven, hanging larger than the beams and columns, and tied with jade bis.

In terms of majesty and solemnity, Luoyang Palace is even more magnificent than Jiankang Palace.

At this time, Liu Yu was sitting on the dragon chair above the Tai Chi Hall, and his ministers on the left and right were sitting in attendance.

In the center of them is a huge map of the north.

"The eldest son of the governor of Shangdang County is an important hub between Hedong and Hebei. If there is no blockage here, Tuoba Si can mobilize troops from Hebei at any time."

Zhu Lingshi, who was in Hedong, had noticed the movements of the Wei army in the northeast of Hedong.

After Tuoba Si led his troops to Jinyang, Changsun Biao led more than 10,000 people to the east, apparently to support Hebei.

Liu Yu glanced around the map and finally turned his attention to Hedong County.

Thanks to Hebei being disrupted by Fu Hongzhi's cavalry, Tuoba Si was forced to choose Hedong as the main battlefield.

"Tuoba Si, do you want to defend? Or attack?"

Liu Yu, Xie Hui and other staff came to conclusions after deducing the military actions that the Northern Wei Dynasty could take in Hedong.

"Seventy percent."

"This victory rate can reach 70%!"

Although the battlefield is changing rapidly, a rough deduction will undoubtedly allow the generals on both sides to have a deeper understanding.

"Talking on paper" is unreliable, but "talking on paper" is indispensable.

Xie Hui is especially good at this kind of thing.

When Liu Yu attacked Later Qin, nine of the ten strategies proposed by Xie Hui were adopted and finally implemented.

This is talent and ability.

Xie Hui conducted another deduction for the Battle of Hedong and came up with an exciting result.

Liu Yu was not surprised by this result.

Now Liu Song's national power is far superior to that of Northern Wei.

Not to mention that the battlefield is in Hedong, even if it is placed in Hebei and the power of the Northern Wei's cavalry is increased to its maximum, it is not necessarily that the Northern Wei will be able to defeat Liu Song.

At this point, strength still speaks.

But can the results of this kind of deduction be used as a reference? Just increase your confidence.

The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Feishui.

Which of these three famous battles did not result in the opponent having the upper hand and being overturned by the opponent?

Of course, there is one most essential difference between Liu Yu and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Fu Jian——

Starting from the beginning.

Even Cao Cao, the most disadvantaged of the three, and his father, Cao Song, were both Taiwei and upright Three Dukes.

But what does Liu Yu have?

A useless "descendant of Liu Jiao".

A pair of parents who died young.

Two younger brothers born from stepmothers.

Even compared to Liu Bei, who also weaved mats and sold shoes, Liu Yu was from a well-off family.

After all, Liu Bei was able to study under the great scholar Lu Zhi when he was young, and he was a classmate with Gongsun Zan.

When Liu Yu was thirty years old, he was illiterate and had to join the Beifu Army in order to survive.

The core method of coming from humble beginnings has only two words - prudence.

Without caution, Liu Yu would not have known which battle he died in, and was hastily buried as an unknown corpse.

This habit from his youth has long been engraved in Liu Yu's bones, so when arranging his deployment, he also guarded his retreat first.

It is really difficult to make Liu Yu capsize in the ditch of Hedong River.

"My lords, are there any omissions that you would like to add?"

This is another magic weapon for Liu Yu besides "caution".

Never be superstitious about your own wisdom or force.

Those who are good at swimming will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall. Everyone will do what they like and end up with their own disaster.

Liu Yu does not blindly believe in his own judgment. He is more willing to listen to everyone's opinions and then select and implement them.

Many ministers looked around, but none of them said anything.

This also applies to Xie Hui.

The preparations are now ready to do everything.

Any further arrangement would be superfluous.

"In that case..."

Liu Yu actually knew that he had done everything he needed to do now, so asking more questions was just to make sure nothing went wrong.

Seeing no response from everyone, just when Liu Yugang wanted everyone to disperse, a pain like a knife suddenly surged from his heart.

In an instant, Liu Yu's face turned pale.

Fortunately, the emperor's dragon chair in the Tai Chi Hall was located at the top of the hall, and other courtiers would not be able to notice anything strange about Liu Yu unless they looked up.

Only Liu Yifu, who was closest to Liu Yu, noticed Liu Yu's face distorted by pain.

Liu Yifu was shocked, but his body covered Liu Yu without leaving any trace.

"Everyone, please go down and get ready. We will leave for Hedong soon."

Everyone was a little surprised why Liu Yifu suddenly spoke out today, but Liu Yifu was the eldest son and stayed by Liu Yu's side to serve him, so he could represent Liu Yu.

For a while, everyone left one after another, only Xie Hui raised his head and glanced slightly.

Little did he know that this glance made Xie Hui feel like he was struck by lightning, and he quickly bowed his head and left in a hurry.

After all the ministers had left, Liu Yifu quickly ordered people to close the palace gate and clear away the people around, leaving only the two brothers Liu Yilong and Liu Yikang in the palace.

"Father!"

After settling everything, Liu Yifu turned around to check on Liu Yu.

At this time, Liu Yu's lips turned slightly purple, and the severe pain caused sweat to break out on his forehead.

"Car soldiers..."

“Well handled.”

Liu Yu grabbed Liu Yifu's hand, as if this would make him feel better.

"Father, I will ask my third brother to secretly invite the military doctor to come over!"

Seeing that Liu Yu had no objection, Liu Yilong immediately left in a hurry.

"It's okay, it's the same old problem."

Liu Yuqiang braced himself and waited for the pain to subside for a few minutes before slowly straightening his body.

"As a father, I can still hold on. As a father, I have to fight this battle well."

"But……"

"No buts!"

Liu Yu's eyes became determined at this moment.

"If I don't fight, my descendants will fight. My mission has not been completed, and I will not fall like this."

After sitting on the dragon chair for a while, Liu Yu felt that his body was slightly loose.

At this time, the doctor Liu Yilong secretly found also helped Liu Yu start treatment.

Only then did Liu Yu heal and not let anyone get close to him, including his son Liu Yifu and the others.

No one knows what Liu Yu's physical condition is. They only know that Liu Yu appeared in the army a few days later with a red face, leading the army to the west and the Holy Land to the east of the river!
