In today's Liu Song Dynasty, centralization of power has reached its peak in hundreds of years.

Especially after Liu Yizhen moved the capital and got rid of the southern family, the imperial power bottomed out and became a powerful and effective ruling tool.

There are many advantages to this, but there are also many disadvantages.

The biggest disadvantage is that if Liu Yizhen suddenly dies suddenly and his youngest son is still unable to govern, the entire Liu Song regime will be paralyzed.

Without the emperor's order, even if Wang Xiu, Wang Maide, and Gao Yun joined forces, they would not be able to command the military power. Each place would only fight on its own and be defeated by hostile forces one by one.

Therefore, Liu Yizhen's statement that Liu Song would collapse instantly if he died suddenly is definitely not shocking, but a fact!

Zhu Lingshi, Tan Daoji and Xie Hui were all shocked after hearing this.

But soon, they knew they had to stop this wayward emperor!

"His Majesty!"

The three people left the table and knelt down, begging Liu Yizhen to take back the imperial commander's order to personally conquer.

Not necessary.

Really not necessary!

Although everyone hopes to kill Helian Bobo immediately, if the cost is Liu Yi's safety, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Even Tan Daoji, who is good at defense, even volunteered: "I am willing to rush to Hanzhong to defend Helian Bobo!"

"no."

Liu Yizhen rejected Tan Daoji's request.

"Now it is not a matter of who can hold Hanzhong, but of letting Helian Bobo choose to continue to choose to stay in Hanzhong."

"And no one can do this except me."

Tan Daoji, Zhu Lingshi, and Xie Hui are not as important as Liu Yizhen when they are tied together. In other words, even if they all go to Hanzhong, they will not be able to "stick" to Helian Bobo.

"I will ask Jin Yiwei to secretly spread the news that I am going to Hanzhong for rescue."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to buy more time for Guanzhong."

"As soon as I arrive in Hanzhong, I will ask Wang Zhenye to attack Hu Xia's Longyou Army to the west!"

"After that, Zhu Lingshi will go north to Qingzhou to block the enemy forces in the direction of Helianlun and Tongwancheng, creating an opportunity for Wang Zhene to fight against the Longyou Army alone."

"at last."

Liu Yizhen looked at Xie Hui: "Xie Shizhong is in charge of Chang'an and blocking Chencang Road! We can't let Helian Bobo escape!"

A complete "Trapped Dragon" plan was finally customized.

Among them, the most important is "one offense and one defense".

The "first attack" requires Wang Zhene to capture Longyou within the time given to him by everyone and block Helian Bobo's retreat.

"One defense" means that Hanzhong must defend until Wang Zhen'e takes Longyou, otherwise it will not be so easy to stop Helian Bobo after he runs away.

"But……"

The audience wanted to persuade them again, but Liu Yizhen waved his hand to ask them to take back what they were about to say.

"I won't hear it."

"I must go to Hanzhong. Without me, Helian Bobo would not have made up his mind to attack Hanzhong."

In response, Liu Yizhen said half-jokingly: "My life will be entrusted to you."

"The sooner Helianbobo is blocked, the shorter the time I can defend Hanzhong, and the smaller the chance of being breached. You must think clearly about this."

"..."

"I will go with your Majesty."

Seeing that Liu Yizhen could not be persuaded, Xie Hui took the initiative to ask to go to Hanzhong with Liu Yizhen.

Liu Yizhen shook his head.

"What is there to do in Hanzhong? It's just a defense. Xie Shizhong might as well sit in Chang'an, take charge of the overall situation in the north for me, and adjust possible oversights at any time."

"Your Majesty, I must go!"

Xie Hui's unprecedented decisiveness at this time surprised even Liu Yizhen.

He leaned down and said to Xie Hui pitifully: "Shizhong Xie has thought clearly."

"This Hanzhong group will escape a narrow escape!"

Xie Hui was not frightened by Liu Yizhen's tone, but became more determined.

"I... must go!"

"This war concerns the country and the country of the Song Dynasty! If Your Majesty does not allow me to go, I request that I resign immediately and never become an official!"

Xie Hui's words were even stronger, and he even told Liu Yizhen to "resign".

"S..."

Liu Yi really knows the Xie family's bad temper.

The same is true for Xie Lingyun. He takes the soft side rather than the hard side. Once he makes a decision, even nine cows can't get him back...

"Since Shizhong Xie is going to go, let's come together."

For a battle like this with little technical content, a battle that purely requires willpower and life, putting Xie Hui there is really overkill.

But Xie Hui wanted to go, so Liu Yizhen didn't refuse. It would be nice to have a scribe to chat with on the way.

In this case, the task of guarding Chang'an will be handed over to Tan Daoji.

"Originally, I wanted General Tan to lead the troops to Luoyang to garrison the Northern Wei Dynasty. In this case, we have to look for candidates again..."

Liu Yizhen and Helian Bobo fought lively, but he never forgot Tuoba Tao in the north.

That little bastard saw the lively fight between Helian Bobo and Liu Yizhen in the west, would he come and get involved?

Nowadays, Wang Zhongde of Jinyang and Zhu Chaoshi of Hebei are both generals, but it is still not enough to let them alone resist the monster-like Tuoba Tao and the combination of Cui Hao, the "first counselor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties".

"Send a military order to General Zhao Lunzhi in Pengcheng and ask him to lead his troops north immediately and station them in Luoyang!"

The current situation in the Central Plains can be considered stable, but it is a bit wasteful for Zhao Lunzhi to continue to be stationed in Pengcheng.

It would also be a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity and use Pengcheng's army to put pressure on the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"The deployment of troops is roughly the same."

"The political affairs of the DPRK and China are presided over by the three provinces."

The three provinces here naturally refer to Wang Xiu, Wang Maide and Gao Yun.

Since Xie Hui of Menxia Province is also going to join the army in the expedition, there is only one "semi-retired" Fu Liang to temporarily raise the banner of Menxia Province, so that the three provinces will not be in name only.

"I can't bring too many people with me to Hanzhong this time."

If you bring too much, you won't be able to ensure that Guanzhong has enough troops to resist the enemy forces in the direction of Tongwan City. If Tongwan City's army is allowed to go south and squander Wang Zhen'e's dumplings, not only will the entire plan be ruined, but even Guanzhong may be in danger.

"Just send five thousand men from the Yulin Army to accompany me to support Hanzhong."

Although the five thousand Yulin Army is small in number, they are all elite.

Not only are they equipped with the most advanced weapons, they also have the best young generals.

The five "Little Five Tigers" Zhu Xiuzhi, An Jie, Liu Yuanjing, Zong Cui, and Xue Andu were all forced into the Yulin Army by Liu Yizhen.

If these five people, plus Xie Hui, were all transferred to Hanzhong, they would wipe out all Liu Song's generals in the next few decades!

"But this lineup... it's not easy for Helian Bobo to break in."

After selecting the men and horses for the expedition, Liu Yizhen explained the government affairs and palace affairs, and then led the army to set off from Chang'an.

"Helian Bobo, I'm an old friend. I still miss him so much."

With the whip whip raised, the Song army marched towards Hanzhong with the emperor in command.
