"Dong Zhuo is dead?"
In the past few days, Liu Han did not discuss matters, but took care of his wife in the backyard of the palace, eating and drinking by the way.
Cai Yan was in confinement and was taken good care of by everyone. She looked much better.
"Ha..." After reading the detailed story sent back by Wang Yue, Liu Han just sneered, "This is the only trick the nobles can do."
As Liu Han expected, it was still a combination of beauty trap and alienation scheme.
"Wow wow wow..."
"Husband, Qi'er..."
As a first-time mother, Liu Han was a little disgusted by Cai Yan's concern for her children.
The child's name was Liu Qi, with the nickname Chengqian and the small character Liu Jin. Because he was six pounds or two when he was born, and Cai Yan was ten months pregnant, Liu Han had already thought of the name.
Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to let Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan help name it, but Liu Han refused. This was his first child. If the emperor's brother was still alive, he would let Liu Hong name it, but the emperor's brother is gone, and Liu Han Han, as the leader of the Liu family now, would not agree.
Zheng Xuan didn't care, no matter what, he gave himself a disciple.
Cai Yong was different. Liu Han didn't agree. He was a little tempered at first, but after Liu Han quickly said his name, he stopped expressing his opinion.
What bike do you need? !
Isn't the meaning of this name clear enough? Liu Qi, named Chengqian, the position of heir is already confirmed, okay? Cai Yong rarely drank with Zheng Xuan all night long, how happy he was!Happy! When his daughter gave birth to a son, he was not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son. It was inevitable that he would be the crown prince of the palace.
I just don’t know what deal Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan reached privately. Zheng Xuan proposed to go to Youzhou and let Cai Yong stay in Bingzhou.
It was impossible for Liu Han to disagree, but he just asked why. Zheng Xuan said: "Nothing. When we were drinking that night, he admitted that his apprentice is not as good as mine, hahahaha!"
Liu Han could only say that the old man... was very cute.
"But! He said that his daughter is better! I have no daughter, so I can't refute it! So Zhongqing, no matter what you think of me, Cai Yong's granddaughter, I will take care of it myself. She is better than Yan'er. I am so angry with him. ordinary man!"
"Teacher, don't you still have Yi En?" (Zheng Yi, also known as Yi En, is the only son of Zheng Xuan.) "Him? Can I count on him? I really regret being so impulsive!"
"Teacher, calm down, calm down."
"Humph!"
Zheng Xuan's apprentice was stronger than Cai Yong, but Zheng Xuan's son was no match for Cai Yong's daughter, so the little old man went to Youzhou angrily.
Perhaps, this is the true friendship of old boys.
During Cai Yan's confinement period, in addition to the maids, she also had Diao Chan. Although Diao Chan was also one of the mistresses of the palace, she never had any airs because of her humble background. She had taken care of people since she was a child, so she had been helping to take care of Cai Yan during this period.
"Chan'er, take a rest."
"Ah."
Things in Chang'an were not top secret, and Diao Chan naturally learned what happened there from Liu Han.
She sympathized with Wang Rong and was very glad that she was rescued from the Wang family by her husband. If it weren't for her husband, she would probably be that Wang Rong.
The honey trap was successful, but what was Wang Rong’s crime?She is just a chess piece that is thrown away after being used.
Diao Chan looked at Liu Han with burning eyes. Obviously, Liu Han's waist was in danger tonight.
Liu Han looked at Liu Qi who was nursing, and could only say that children are good, and then said apologetically: "Yan'er, I may not have time to accompany you here."
Chang'an was in chaos and there was no peace over the boundary bridge. Liu Han knew that the time had come. "Well, husband, go ahead."
Cai Yan knew that it was not easy for Liu Han to be with him for so many days despite his busy schedule. He had his own career and he wanted to save the big man.
# "how?"
When Liu Han came to the discussion hall, civil and military officials had already lined up on both sides to prepare for the discussion.
Except for those who are guarding the local area and cannot come back, those who can come have basically come.
Civil servants: Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, Dong Zhao, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Lu Su.
Liu Han's military advisers all came.
Military generals: Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Cheng Pu.
The main generals of the cavalry, infantry, and naval forces came.
Cheng Yu: "My lord, I believe there will be a big battle over Jizhou to decide the ownership of Jizhou."
Currently, Cheng Yu is in charge of the intelligence work under Liu Han, Wang Yue is responsible for external affairs, and Shi A is responsible for internal affairs, so Cheng Yu is the first to speak.
If Jia Xu is an ultimate egoist, then Cheng Yu is an exquisite elitist. Both of them have a ruthlessness in their bones that ordinary people don't have. They have no friends, but they are the best confidants.
To be honest, Liu Han was very glad that he had accepted these two, otherwise it would have been a headache for him as an enemy. They explained very well what it means that as long as I have no morals, no one can morally kidnap me.
"Jizhou..."
Of course Liu Han knew this damn sense of fate, the Battle of the Boundary Bridge.
"Who do you think will win?"
Everyone was whispering to each other, and Ju Shou was the first to speak: "My lord, I think Gongsun Zan will win."
Tian Feng also said: "I mean the same thing. Yuan Benchu has just established himself in Jizhou. Although he has many soldiers, there are more factions, and it is difficult for the army to form a real combat effectiveness."
"Looking at Gongsun Zan, although he has few troops, he has plenty of food and equipment, as well as the coordination of infantry and cavalry. As long as he makes no mistakes, Yuan Shao will be defeated."
This is indeed what most people mean, and it is indeed true in history. Gongsun Zan makes no mistakes. With the ability of Youzhou's sudden cavalry, Gongsun Zan can indeed hold Yuan Shao down and beat him, but...
"Zhicai, Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Strategically, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are obviously stronger than the two old Yin men Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.
Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, Zhong believes that their victory or defeat is actually about [-] to [-]. Yuan Shao's shortcomings are obvious, and Gongsun Zan's shortcomings are also obvious. In terms of cavalry alone, Gongsun Zan is indeed somewhat capable, but with the coordination of infantry and cavalry, Gongsun Zan cannot do it. clear."
Guo Jia also spoke: "Indeed, the concept of 'infantry and cavalry coordination' was originally proposed by the Lord. It weakens part of the mobility of the cavalry to adapt to wars in different terrains. Personnel selection and army discipline cannot be achieved overnight. If Gongsun Zan only Using cavalry to fight Yuan Shao, within half a month, Yuan Shao will inevitably be divided within himself, and Gongsun Zan will win without a fight. If Gongsun Zan chooses to cooperate with infantry and cavalry to fight Yuan Shao head-on, as long as Yuan Shao sends a general to hold back Gongsun Zan's cavalry, and then uses infantry to overwhelm Gongsun Zan's infantry. …”
Liu Han: "Breakthrough in the middle, blooming at both ends."
Guo Jia: "Yes, that's what it means! Gongsun Zan will be defeated!"
Liu Han had to lament Guo Jia's talent in military strategy. He could deduce the direction of the war based on clues. It was really scary! Fortunately, such a genius is in his own camp.
Huang Zhong: "Fengxiao is right. A certain person has worked with Gongsun Zan for a period of time. This person is unruly and rebellious. It is very likely that he will not take Yuan Shao seriously and choose to fight head-on."
Liu Han: "In that case, how should we prepare?" (End of Chapter)
