Although Chu Nan was very polite to Liu Xie in the court and gave Liu Xie the right to make decisions, at least in the court, he could make the final decision, but in fact, the Ministry of War began to prepare for this war as early as a year ago.
The deployment of troops, the appointment of various generals participating in the battle, and whether they will be responsible for attacking or defending have all been arranged.
Three months ago, elites from all walks of life gathered in Xuchang, already preparing to go on an expedition with Chu Nan. Today at the court, it didn't matter whether the emperor agreed or not, but Liu Xie had no choice.
If he doesn't agree, he will completely break up with Chu Nan. If he doesn't fall out, Chu Nan will maintain nominal respect for him. But if he falls out, how will he be treated as the emperor? Please refer to the time when Li Jue and Guo
You will know it when you have it in hand.
Liu Xie obviously understood this truth and cooperated very well with Chu Nan to stage a scene in which the king and his ministers were harmonious.
The official oath to go out for the expedition was three days later. Thirty thousand troops were gathered outside Xuchang. With so many people and horses, if the expedition was finalized today, it would not be enough to prepare food and grass for three days. Although Chu Nan showed great respect for the emperor,
This move was obviously to kill first and then to show off, to slap the emperor in the face.
But Liu Xie and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not say anything. On the surface, Chu Nan respected the emperor more than Cao Cao did, but in fact, Cao Cao first consulted with Liu before sending troops. Even if he was more domineering, the emperor and his ministers
You still have certain rights to make decisions and speak.
Now Chu Nan is preparing first. When he is almost ready, he goes to tell the emperor. This is not a discussion, it is clearly a notification!
Chu Nan is suppressing the emperor's prestige step by step!
Unfortunately, the emperor and his ministers had no choice. Kong Rong, the only one who dared to jump out to confront Chu Nan, did not have much weight. Chu Nan was now at the height of his power, and no one in the court could rival him.
In this battle, everyone in the court, from the emperor to the civil and military officials, all hope that Chu Nan will fail. No matter how Yuan Shao treats Liu Xie, he will never be worse off than Chu Nan is now.
Well, when Lu Bu replaced Cao Cao, Liu Xie and the officials thought the same way.
Three days later, Chu Nan said goodbye to his family and swore an oath to fight. Liu Xie and his officials went out of the city to see him off.
"How can His Majesty, with his body weighing thousands of pounds, come out of the palace to see me off? I am terrified." Chu Nan came to Liu Xie and saluted him.
Afraid?
Liu Xie looked at Chu Nan for a few times. From his hair to his toes, he could not feel a trace of fear from Chu Nan.

"You are fighting for the country, and I have no other ability to help Chu Qing. I can only go out of the city to see you off and express my feelings." The smile on Liu Xie's face was still a little forced, and he looked at Chu Nan and said.
"On behalf of the three armies, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will repay the Emperor's kindness with all my heart and soul!" Chu Nan said with a moved face.
"Chu Qing, are you sure of winning this battle?" Liu Xie asked as he walked side by side with Chu Nan.
Chu Nan sighed: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Yuan Shao can mobilize at least twice as many troops as our army. He has many powerful generals under his command and advisors like rain. I really don't have much confidence in this battle."
It's best if both of you lose!
Liu Xie nodded, but with a heavy look on his face, he looked at Chu Nan and said: "Take care, Qing Chu, I am in Xuchang, waiting for your triumphant return!"
"Your Majesty's kind words!" Chu Nan sighed. The moment the two of them left the Xuchang city gate, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky. Of course, most people could not see the existence of dragon energy.
However, the dragon's roar is high-pitched and passionate, which makes people's fighting spirit rise sharply.
Immediately afterwards, the golden dragon of luck belonging to Chu Nan in the sky suddenly opened its mouth, and the boundless luck was swallowed into its belly, and then turned into a golden light, fell from the sky, and disappeared into Chu Nan's body.
In the sky, the Han Dynasty's golden dragon of luck that was originally covered by Chu Nan's luck reappeared, but the sea of luck clouds looked thinner than before.
Liu Xie swayed and felt dizzy for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" Chu Nan quickly stretched out his hand to support Liu Xie.
"I suddenly feel dizzy. Chu Qing must be more careful along the way, so I will send you here!" Liu Xie said with a pale face and a weak look.
"Quickly, send the imperial doctor to send His Majesty back to the palace!" Chu Nan looked at the ministers on his left and right and handed Liu Xie over to them.
"Do you want you to come back with me?" An official looked at Chu Nan doubtfully.
"The soldiers of the three armies have been assembled. If you renege on your promise at this time, you will lose your prestige in the army. I have always kept my word, so how can I break my promise to the soldiers because of some trivial matter?" Chu Nan waved his hand and said: "Send your majesty to you quickly.
Go back, don't delay the renovation."
After saying that, Chu Nan raised his head and glanced at the golden dragon of luck in the sky. The golden dragon of luck seemed to be looking at him as well. Feeling his gaze, he shrank back into his own sea of clouds in fear. However, the sea of luck clouds now belonged to the big man.
, has become so desolate that it is like a gauze, unable to cover anything at all.
"Lord, the army has been assembled!" Outside Xuchang City, Huang Zhong rode his horse to Chu Nan and saluted Chu Nan: "Please give me your orders, my lord."
"Go to war!" Chu Nan waved his hand and led Huang Zhong's horse to the formation of the three armies. The 30,000-strong army set off and headed straight for the river.
On the other side, Liu Xie finally sobered up a lot after Chu Nan left for a long time.
"Your Majesty, what happened just now?" Zhao Wen asked in confusion as he supported Liu Xie.
"What's the matter? Nothing." Liu Xie shook his head and looked up at the sky.
After so many days, the golden dragon of luck belonging to the Han Dynasty finally shrouded the sky over Xuchang City again. But looking at the illusory dragon body and the sea of luck clouds in Boru's gauze, Liu Xie felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Has the luck of the Han Dynasty declined so much?
"I just think about the four hundred years of our country's fortune. Today, it has declined to this point, but I still have to treat the national traitors with respect and smile. It really hurts my heart!" Liu Xie sighed.
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." Zhao Wen was startled and looked to the left and right.
Be careful?
After hearing this, Liu Xie looked up at the sky. Under the sun, it was even harder to see the golden dragon of fortune of the Han Dynasty. He shook his head and sighed: "Chu Lingjun and the general have gone on an expedition. Please don't be so restrained. I have been cautious."
It’s been a long time and I don’t want to be cautious anymore!”
Zhao Wen and several other ministers did not answer the call. They knew very well that there might be people from Chu Nan in all directions, and what they said now might soon reach Chu Nan's ears.
With Chu Nan's shrewdness, he would probably guess something soon.
After finally waiting for the opportunity for Chu Nan to leave the city, they didn't want to recall the plague god because of some details, so they could only silently follow Liu Xie back to the palace, and then looked at each other.
Go back each.
Yang family.
Yang Biao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at the golden dragon of luck that was almost disappearing in the sky.
"Father!" Yang Xiu walked in quickly and saluted Yang Biao.
"What's the matter?" Yang Biao looked away and looked at his son and asked.
"Although it is forced by the situation that your commander left like this, the city of Xuchang is empty. I thought that when he left, there would be chaos in Xuchang City!" Yang Xiu said in a deep voice: "I thought that we would wait for him that morning.
prepare for."
"How should my son prepare?" Yang Biao asked.
"Since my father doesn't want to be an enemy of your king, we will take leave and return home, and we will make a decision after the things here are settled." Yang Xiu bowed. He knew that his father was on Chu Nan's side and it would be best to leave temporarily.
Choose, otherwise the Yang family will be in a dilemma.
"Well, I'll go back for my father, and my son will stay here to help you." Yang Biao nodded. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. He is too old. If he stays here, he will be easily affected. Besides, he is still in the court.
There are many old friends who I really can't bear to see, so it would be good to leave them for a while.
Training: "...?"
"Father is so optimistic about Chu Nan?" Yang Xiu looked at his father and stopped using honorifics. He came to Yang Biao and asked in a low voice: "Does father know the current situation?"
"Of course I know." Yang Biao nodded. Although he was at home all year round, he could see the world's situation very clearly.
"Father, Wei Xu is the only one left to guard Xuchang City. I have known this man before. Although he has followed Lu Bu for many years, his ability is mediocre. If the officials in the court counterattack, this man may be difficult to resist!" After a pause, Yang Biao
He continued: "Once there is a loss in Xuchang, the morale of the frontline troops will definitely be shaken!"
Once the morale of the military is shaken, the chance of victory will become even slimmer.
"You!" Yang Biao shook his head: "I have been following your lord for a long time and you still don't understand?"
Yang Xiu frowned and looked at his father.
Inviting Biao sighed: "Your Majesty has always been cautious. Since you dare to leave only Wei Xu here, you have enough confidence. Either Wei Xu can guard Xuchang, or there are other back-ups."
Yang Xiu frowned: "Father may be overthinking. I have carefully counted the generals under your command. Wei Yan is guarding Jianghuai, Huang Zhong, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and Li Tong are all going out with the army. Marquis Wen has also gone out. Although there are many generals under Chu Nan's command,
, but it seems that these are the only ones who are good at fighting, and they are all out. If something happens to Xuchang, I really can’t think of anyone else who can break this situation."
"I don't know, it doesn't mean I don't have it." Yang Biao shook his head, looked at his son and said, "Dezu."
"The child is here." Yang Xiu bowed and said.
"Whether you believe it or not, after my father leaves, you will do your best to help your commander stabilize the situation." Yang Biao looked at Yang Xiu and said, "I believe that my father will be fine."
It is impossible for Yang Biao to end up openly supporting Chu Nan. Just like when Chu Nan fights, he often packages himself as a victim first. Yang Biao is not only the fourth generation of the three princes, but also a veteran of three dynasties. If he surrenders like this, the future history books
How will the meeting record him?
Therefore, he could not stand openly on Chu Nan's side. At this moment, he realized that the court was about to change, so he naturally wanted to remove himself from the matter, but his son could support Chu Nan.
When this matter is over, he will come back and continue to thank guests behind closed doors. After this matter, Yang Xiu will also gain a firm foothold under Chu Nan's door.
When the time comes, Yang Biao can only be "dragged down" by his son, and he surrenders helplessly, unwillingly, heartbroken, and regretful.
Although Yang Xiu is smart, there are some things that require experience rather than talent. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the secrets, just follow the instructions and you will understand later!
