Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, and his mood rarely relaxed.
No wonder there are many daughter slaves in later generations. The innocent little beauties are indeed caring little cotton-padded jackets that can make people happy.
"The military situation is urgent. I have a very important task, and it must be you."
"Me?" Dong Wan opened his eyes in surprise, stretched out his slender finger and pointed at his nose. "I...what can I do?"
Liu Xie looked back at the military camp. "Are there many family members in my uncle's camp?"
Dong Wan scratched his head. "Yes, there are old ones, young ones, and many babies sucking milk. They cry non-stop every day, which makes people very noisy."
Before Liu Xie could say anything, Yang Xiu was startled and couldn't help asking: "There are so many dependents in General Anji's camp?"
Dong Wan glanced at him as if he were an idiot, with a look of disdain. "Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo. Those people have nowhere to go. If they don't come to join their relatives in the army, who else can they go to? Your Majesty, who is this? He is so useless."
Have you seen the world, have you just come out of the mountains?"
Yang Xiu was speechless. He wanted to curse, but he didn't have the confidence.
Liu Xie suppressed his laughter. "Awan, please don't lie. This is Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu, the son of Taiwei Yang Gong, Huangmen's minister."
Dong Wan was startled, smiled coquettishly, turned around, curled up his neck behind Yang Xiu's back, and stuck out his tongue.
Liu Xie said: "Awan, Yang Shilang has just joined the official position and is not familiar with the situation. Please explain it to him."
Dong Wan felt a little guilty and glanced at Liu Xie. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she met Liu Xie's encouraging gaze. She hesitated for a moment and stammered about the situation in the camp.
"Most of my father's subordinates are from Guan...dong, and most of them...are from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo burned the city of Luoyang and forced the capital to move. The people of Luoyang had...nowhere to go, and many people came to visit relatives, so..."
Although Dong Wan was nervous, he still explained the situation clearly. After hearing this, Yang Xiu looked at Dong Cheng's camp with deathly eyes.
I thought that Dong Cheng's several camps were all warriors, but I didn't expect that nearly half of them were dependents with no fighting ability at all.
How to fight this?
Yang Xiu secretly glanced at Liu Xie who was standing aside, licked his lips, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Liu Xie was also very broken, but he had seen more broken people. More importantly, he believed in the judgments of Yang Biao and Shi Sunrui, so he could still maintain basic composure.
He didn't understand the situation in Dong Cheng's camp, and Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui should know it. Since they still have confidence, it means that the situation is not hopeless, let alone as desperate as Yang Xiu thought.
After waiting for a while, Dong Cheng came with several school captains and Sima, introducing them one by one and introducing them to their previous military exploits in the Battle of Xinfeng.
Liu Xie listened attentively, asking for detailed information from time to time, verifying the battle history mentioned by Wang Yue and others before, and also learning more about these generals.
Although none of these people can leave their names in history, there are only a few who can leave their names in history. In the tide of history, there are more unknown ordinary people. A large part of his hope for a comeback is pinned on
on these people.
Seeing that although Liu Xie was young, he had clear ideas, most of the questions he asked were on point, he was very practical, his attitude was approachable, his words were calm and unhurried, and he could not see too much tension. These generals were surprised and happy, and they felt a lot more relaxed and spoke more
Gradually there were more.
The monarch and his ministers answered questions and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Are all your family members at the camp?" Liu Xie asked.
Several captains and commanders looked at each other and nodded in unison. Only one commander named Han Hong, who was from Hanoi, raised his hand. "My family members are not in the camp."
"Where are your family?"
"It should be in Liyang."
Liu Xie was puzzled. "Why should we be in Liyang?"
Han Hong was a little uneasy. "I have an old marriage relationship with Sima Fang, the former commander of Luoyang, and asked his eldest son Sima Lang to take care of his family. Later I heard that Sima Lang took his relatives to Liyang, so my family members should also be there. It's just that these years
The war is in turmoil and there is no communication, so I am not sure."
Liu Xie nodded in understanding. "Do you miss them?"
"I think that when I left Luoyang, my wife was pregnant and couldn't move around, so I didn't join the army. A few years later, I didn't know whether she was giving birth to a boy or a girl. If she were alive, I should be enlightened and study." Han Hong said.
He looked up and his eyes were red.
"Then you should live a good life and don't let your child never see his biological father."
Han Hong held back tears and nodded. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely...work hard to live."
Dong Cheng frowned slightly and stopped talking.
"Gentlemen, the battlefield is dangerous and life and death are unpredictable, but the more preparation you make, the more chance you will have." Liu Xie said calmly: "Li Jue, Guo Si is cruel, and you must be very aware of it.
Needless to say, I need to say more. But the Li Jue and Guo Si of today are no longer the Li Jue and Guo Si of a few years ago. This time..."
Liu Xie paused and said word by word: "Perhaps this is your chance to take revenge."
Everyone looked at Liu Xie suspiciously and looked at each other.
Even Yang Xiu was a little surprised. It is understandable that the emperor wanted to boost morale, but it would be too hasty to take action personally.
Do you think that if I can convince Yang Ding, you can convince these people?
It’s too taken for granted.
Liu Xie knew that they would not believe it easily, but he was not in a hurry. He waited for a while to let their emotions fully ferment, and then said: "When Dong Zhuo was executed, the generals in Xiliang were leaderless, and people were panicked, thinking that the imperial court was going to punish all of them.
The Liang people had no choice but to risk their lives and survive. The scene of nearly a hundred thousand troops besieging Chang'an City must be all in your memory."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, and many people showed strong uneasiness in their eyes.
Liu Xie asked unhurriedly: "Do Li Jue and Guo Si still have an army of 100,000 men now?"
Everyone looked at each other. Dong Cheng also felt sorry for himself and said with a smile: "They attacked each other and the city of Chang'an became a river of blood. Where there are still 100,000 people, if there are 50,000 people, it will be as high as the sky."
Liu Xie glanced at Dong Cheng and was very satisfied. Relatives are relatives after all, and they know how to compliment him at the right time.
"Do they need to go all out now?"
Han Hong clapped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is right, there is no need for them to fight desperately. Last time in Xinfeng, when Guo Bang saw that the situation was not right, he had no intention of fighting to the death, so he jumped on his horse and ran away."
"What about us?" Liu Xie immediately asked, "Do we have a way to retreat?"
Han Hong was slightly startled, and the look on his face gradually became grim. "There are Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji in front, Nanshan Mountain on the left, and a big river in the north. There is no way to retreat. If we cannot win in battle, we will not die from the horseshoes of the Xiliang soldiers.
After all, it’s all about fish and turtles. In that case, it’s better to fight.”
Liu Xie looked at Han Hong and raised his thumb. "I often hear that there are many martyrs in Yanzhao, but I didn't expect that there are warriors like Han Jun in Hanoi."
Han Hong's chest puffed out even higher.
Dong Cheng looked at it thoughtfully, and then looked at Liu Xie with a slightly different look.
Yang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly realized, and then said: "Your Majesty is in a commanding position, and your ministers are suddenly enlightened."
Liu Xie turned to look at Yang Xiu and said with a smile: "Then tell me, what did you think of?"
"Wei!" Yang Xiu bowed, turned around, and looked at Han Hong and others, his eyes full of confidence.
