Fa was in Langzhong and the Yizhou army fought a decisive battle.

Cao Shu was accompanied by Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao to Hanzhong.

Lu Xun and a group of officials were waiting at the city gate early.

When they saw Cao Shu, everyone came forward.

"Thank you for your hard work from afar," Lu Xun said, "I heard that my lord is coming, and I have asked someone to clean up the government."

"There is no need to be so grand." Cao Shuo said: "I came here just to get the news that Fa Xiaozhi was in Yizhou closer."

He then asked, "How is he now?"

"Send the news back from Hanzhong, he has passed Micang Mountain and has now surrounded Langzhong." Lu Xun replied: "Liu Xuande is in Langzhong. If this battle is not unexpected, he should be able to capture him alive."

"I'm going to tell Fa Zheng that Liu Xuande is useless to me, and I don't want to see him crying." Cao Shuo said: "I only have one head. The dead Liu Xuande can make people feel more at ease than living."

"I'll arrange someone to go there now." Lu Xun replied.

"You mentioned Micang Mountain specifically. Is that mountain difficult to get through?" Cao Shuo asked Lu Xun.

"Micang Mountain runs for hundreds of miles, with many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and it is difficult to get through the forest, so it is indeed difficult to get through." Lu Xun replied.

"Since it is difficult to get through, how can the messengers from both sides communicate?" Cao Shu asked again.

"The messenger was not going to take Micang Mountain." Lu Xun replied: "There are actually small roads from Hanzhong to Yizhou, but the army cannot pass. It is okay for three or five people to come and go."

"How many people do you send out messengers usually come together?" Accompanied by Lu Xun, Cao Shu was most concerned about the exchanges between Yizhou and Hanzhong.

"There are often beasts in the mountains, and it is definitely not enough to walk alone." Lu Xun said: "I usually let three or five people set out together. They have to take care of each other and be more secure."

After entering Hanzhong City, Cao Shu saw many people standing on both sides of the street.

When the people saw him entering the city, they cheered: "The King of Wei is mighty!"

Raising his arm, Cao Shu also greeted the people.

"Before I came to Hanzhong, I thought it would be so depressed here." While greeting the people, Cao Shu said to Lu Xun: "I didn't expect there were so many people, which shows that Bo Yan did a lot of work here."

"Of course I can't do anything wrong with Hanzhong," Lu Xun replied: "Although Hanzhong has gone through a disaster, it has not hurt his muscles and bones, so it is not difficult to restore order."

"With your ability, it's a pity to be an official of the county magistrate in Hanzhong." Cao Shu said: "When I return to Luoyang, you can go back with me."

"Does the lord have you asked me to rebuild Chang'an?" Lu Xun responded first, and then asked Cao Shu.

"Why should I rebuild Chang'an?" Cao Shu asked back: "Just because I want to move the capital to Chang'an, I have to rebuild it?"

"Chang'an has also suffered wars. Although it is not as depressed as Luoyang in and outside the city, it should at least be rebuilt to have the imperial city's might." Lu Xun said: "The Han family has been destroyed, Yizhou and Jiaozhou are taken down again, and the whole world will be unified by the lord. The imperial city of Chang'an, of course, must look like an imperial city."

"I have also discussed with everyone, and they all feel that it is safest to establish the capital of Chang'an." Cao Shu said: "When I break through Yizhou and Jiaozhou, and use Chang'an as the imperial capital Shouchun as the accompanying capital. We must step up the preparation for a new journey of birth and nurturing."

"Did the lord mean the northern alien race?" Lu Xun asked.

"Can we let them do whatever we want in the south?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "There are Hu people in the north and barbarians in the south. No matter which side is strong, it will covet the Central Plains and want to take away our homes from our hands. We have only one way to be enslaved."

Speaking of this, Cao Shuo smiled slightly at him.

"Like Hanwu back then, were you afraid of beating them?" Lu Xun asked tentatively.

"No alien race can be beaten and afraid." Cao Shuo said: "Even if they are afraid for a while, as long as we are weaker in the future, they will take advantage of the situation and take our lives when we are sick!"

"I probably understand the meaning of the lord." Lu Xun nodded: "It seems that we can't stop until the whole world is unified..."

"I am the emperor on the horse's back, you are all ministers on the horse's back." Cao Shu said: "If you conquer the world, if you suddenly get idle, don't you think life is too boring? People will always feel restless when they are stable. Not to mention you, even if I am calm for too long, they will think about finding an opportunity to go out and fight a battle! The alien races who have been making trouble with us all year round will of course be the best target for practice."

"The lord who has achieved martial ethics and unified the world, and the alien race who dares to be enemies with the lord will probably not have a good life in the future." Lu Xun shook his head and said, "I am not worried about whether I can beat the alien race in the future, but I am a little worried about the alien race."

Cao Shu laughed and patted his shoulder gently: "It's a bit too early for Bo Yan to say this. You must know that there are not all idiots among the alien races. They are also some powerful generals and capable people. In the future, our army will encounter many troubles. But don't despise them just because they are barbarians!"

"I have written down my lord's teachings." Lu Xun responded.

When he arrived at the Hanzhong government, Cao Shuo entered the gate and asked Lu Xun who was following him: "Where are you locked up by Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide?"

"Report to the lord, both of them were locked in Hanzhong prison." Lu Xun replied: "At first, some days, they would cause some trouble for the guards in the prison every day. Now they have calmed down a lot, and they have suffered from food and drink every day."

"The two of them are both loyal and righteous generals, but they were fooled by Liu Xuande." Cao Shuo said: "When they were young, they had a feud in Taoyuan. It was precisely because of this that Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide followed Liu Xuande wholeheartedly. If Liu Xuande doesn't die, they will never submit to others."

"That's why the lord ordered that only Liu Xuande be dead and not live?" Lu Xun asked.

"As long as you die but don't live, it's not just because of them." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande is hypocritical. Once he is given a way to live, he will secretly make some weird things. With his hypocritical face, it is easy to deceive some people like Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide. How can I tolerate such people destroying the country that has been built?"

"What the lord is saying!" Lu Xun nodded: "Dare you ask the lord, do you want to see two of you first?"
