Sweet Beauty

In Chang'an City, the feudal lords have left the city one after another since the accident of Liu Yu and Geng Yun, and returned to their fiefs. Seeing that the world is about to change again, many people are eager to stay away from right and wrong, preferring to protect themselves.

Geng Yun was very angry and vomited blood. The next day, after asking the medical workers to see a doctor, when he was still on the sickbed, he hurriedly summoned his minions, and planned with great fanfare to use troops against Liu Yu.

Fortunately, he was still shy about Youyou, and he was even more afraid that the Xiongnu Iron Cavalry would really step into the Central Plains, and he would not dare to move without prejudice to Youzhou.

When the news came out, Chang'an City, and even the entire Sizhou, were in awe.

The Weiyang Palace was already vacant. After the princes left, the young emperor returned to Changle Palace to live with Zhanghou. Because she was too frightened and had nightmares day and night, the Queen Mother often went to the bedroom to take care of her personally.

On this day and night, when he saw Liu Xian fall asleep in the inner room, Zhang moved to the outer room behind him, backed away from the left and right, and let the people waiting quietly at the side door enter.

The man was tall and slender, and his face was pale and morbid. In the eyes of others, it was Liu An, the Prince of Zhending, who had long since left Chang'an.

Just looking at him to the left and right, and seeing that there was no one other than the courtiers of the trusted family after the three or two chapters, Fang carefully closed the door and bowed after the chapter: "The Queen Mother, the Da Sima has secretly gathered 100,000 horses to wait for King Xiao Youzhou. Certainly, we will send troops to crusade. Many ministers in the court agree, and many of them, who are originally from the Queen Mother, also secretly went into and out of the Grand Sima's mansion to support the sending of troops."

After he said that, he carefully looked at Zhang Hou. This remark is to remind her that many courtiers may have secretly defected and no longer focus on her.

But after seeing Zhang Hou's beautiful eyes, he didn't care much and said, "I made them do this."

Now everyone knows that there will be a battle between Geng Yun and Liu Yu, and if she, the queen mother, wants to reap the benefits, she needs to wait for both of them to lose. Liu An was in Jizhou before, and from the news that Liu Yu had played many times, Liu Yu's strength should not be underestimated. If Geng Yun wants to fight, he needs to do his best. She then secretly tried her best to teach Geng Yun to temporarily relax her vigilance against her mother and son, and at the same time, to make the two more evenly matched.

When the stalemate cannot be over, no matter who wins, she can take advantage of their strength to take another shot and take them down in one fell swoop.

However, she didn't want to tell Liu An everything, and only continued to instruct: "I teach you to come back before you leave, so you have a few words to say. Liu Xiu thinks that he must be suspicious of you, and he will not reuse your hands when fighting Geng Yun. People and horses. When he leaves Jizhou, you will send some people to the southwest to enter Shu and find out the situation there. The rest of the people and horses, when the two of them are in a decisive battle, listen to my orders."

Liu An responded one by one, and then discussed the details with him, and answered them one by one after the chapter.

At the end, before he was about to retreat, he hesitated for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "The Queen Mother, I have something else to do. Queen Xiao, she—"

Zhang Hou looked at his cautious and unconcealed look, and couldn't help frowning and interrupted: "What are you in a hurry? She is my daughter, as long as you help me and protect my Han family, I will give her to her. You. Now that Liu Jiu is on the rise, what are you arguing with him for?"

She sneered in her heart, only saying that her daughter was really useful, not only was she born more beautiful than when she was young, but she also found a useful piece like Liu An for her.

Liu Anben was only worried about A Shu's situation in the future. Once Liu Yu was defeated, countless people would be vying for it. However, he also knew that this matter was not urgent, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand, I will act according to the Queen Mother's instructions."

After he was sent back, Zhang went back to the inner room. But seeing Liu Xian, who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed in the inner room, quietly got up at some point, looked at her with a dazed expression, and asked, "Empress mother, why can't I get along with Xiao Wang peacefully? He is married to sister...I...I It's just that I don't like the big Sima, the big Sima is the real person who has evil intentions..."

Zhang Houyuan's amiable face suddenly froze, and said coldly: "Your Majesty speaks carefully. I have said many times that I killed Liu Xi, and I have offered to Liu Xi many times before, but he did not respond, and he will not be willing to swallow. I hate you." After speaking, she suddenly turned her eyes and stared at the ignorant Liu Xian, "Besides, how to deal with it peacefully? He is different from Da Sima, and his surname is Liu. Your Majesty knows that if he enters Chang'an, not only does His Majesty want him The throne of the emperor will even cost His Majesty's life!"

Liu Xian shuddered and said timidly, "If I am willing to take the meditation position, he will let me go, right?"

Zhang Hou looked at his weak Yang, a bit of disgust flashed in his eyes, shook his head and said firmly: "Everyone knows the truth of cutting grass and rooting. How could he let you go? If this is the case, it must be to stay in the history of youth. In the name of kindness, I will quietly kill you when you are not looking."

…

Youzhou, in Baitan City, Liu Yu and Fan Xiao led a hundred thousand troops to arrive, and they entered the barracks with the governor of Youzhou, the governor of Yuyang County, and Colonel Huan Huan to discuss the war.

At this time, most of the Wuhuan had already retreated to western Liaoning, and less than 30,000 people remained on the border of Youzhou. The Xiongnu iron cavalry had already plundered the previous Wuhuan territory for several days, and had repeatedly spied on the border towns of Youzhou, broke into several villages to loot, and drove the people into the borderlands.

Liu Yu made a decisive decision. On the one hand, he sent people into the looted villages to search for the surviving people, and on the other hand, he sent people in disguise to send the news of the arrival of the Xiongnu Lao Shan to the Xianbei people in the east.

After these two matters are settled, the offensive and defensive situation of this place will be surveyed clearly again, and the signs of intrusion by the Huns will be observed, followed by their trails, and the offensive will be deployed first when they reach Yaoyang, which they will attack next. As soon as the Xiongnu cavalry arrived, they could not defend themselves, and then, when they took it lightly, they suddenly attacked and repulsed them in one fell swoop.

Although they did not win a great victory, the Xiongnu suffered repeated setbacks and became restless. In the end, they could not bear it any longer, and suddenly attacked the south in large numbers.

Liu Yu came prepared, joined the Yuyang defenders, led a hundred thousand people with him, and then had the rest of the Wuhuan troops, so they did not have to fight, and they won a great victory with more and less.

Not only that, Fan Xiao personally went into battle, and even shot the Huns commander You Rizhu Wang Yitu Xu in one fell swoop, taking his head and hanging it on the tower to shock him.

The battle was less than two months, and Liu Yu had the upper hand.

He didn't want to waste his strength again, and when Xianbei had news, he took the initiative to send a letter to negotiate peace with the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu Zuo Ri chased the king and Qu She received the news that Shan Yu was seriously ill, and seeing that Xianbei seemed to be making moves, in desperation, he had to go to the border of Youzhou in person and agreed to make peace with the Han court.

The left and right kings are all the sons of Lao Shanyu, the brothers of a mother's compatriots. The Huns even regarded the enemy's head as a trophy of war, and when Qu She saw Yi Tuxu's head hanging from a distance, he was so angry that he immediately drew his bow and arrow, shot down several goshawks, and shouted at Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, today I remember your name, and I will take back the shame of today!"

After all, he led the tribe to return home.

Liu Yu did not take his words at ease, and only returned to Yuyang City to deal with the rest.

Yu Zhi, the prefect of Youzhou, repeatedly filed a petition to Chang'an due to the war, asking for support, but he did not respond. Now it is hard to wait for reinforcements, but it was Liu Yu who was humiliated and wanted to kill for Geng Yun in Chang'an.

In the past two months, he had listened to the words of the soldiers who had accompanied Liu Yu to Chang'an, and he was very injustice to him, and he repeatedly said in front of Liu Yu that the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was declining, the young emperor was weak, and the powerful ministers were in power.

Liu Yu knew that he was uneasy, so before leaving, he called Guo Qu in front of him and said, "How is the Great Sima in Chang'an City?"

Guo Qu understood and quickly replied: "The Great Sima has already gathered his troops and horses, and as long as the Great King settles Youzhou, he will fight. Those who have made meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty can be thrown away when they are used, which shows that they are treacherous and cunning. The ministers and the others have already drafted the letter, which will be announced to the world in a few days, inviting all the people of the world to punish Geng Yun together."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yu Zhi did not wait for Liu Yuxiang to ask him, so he took the initiative to pay homage: "Geng Yun is a villain, Zhi is willing to join the king to kill him!"

Then, there was another compliment and confession of Liu Yu's character. Before half a day, they all persuaded the governors to join him.

Liu Yu's purpose was fulfilled, and he was satisfied. After everything was arranged, Fan Xiao ordered 20,000 people to take care of the aftermath here, and he himself led the rest back.

He had already received a letter from Handan, knowing that Ah Shu was pregnant for nearly three months now and was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to go back and soak her plums in person.

…

In the city of Handan, Ah Shuan lives safely at home. Every half month from Youzhou, letters from home came, all written by Liu Yu himself. She replied to the letter the next day, and after three or five letters were circulated in this way, it would be two or three months. The boy in the belly is getting bigger day by day, which makes her a little pregnant.

In the past, the Quju that tied her waist could not be worn. Deng Wan ordered people to re-cut many clothes for her, from small to large, until the time of production.

She wanted to learn to do needlework, not only to make a decent sachet for Liu Yu, but also to make clothes for the child in the belly. However, the craftsmanship is not good, and even a small sachet has been made for nearly half a month. And after she became pregnant, she gradually became sleepy and lazy. If Deng Wan didn't urge her to leave the yard and spend an hour walking every day, she would fall asleep every day.

After midsummer, at the beginning of June, Liu Yu finally returned.
