Zhen Mi's words made Tang Ji and the others laugh, and even Diao Chan covered her mouth and chuckled.

Seeing that everyone was having fun, Zhen Mi blinked her eyes twice, and asked a little blankly: "Princesses, princesses of Anyang, ...... this?" ”

"Sister Zhen Ji is exquisite, but I can't see His Highness's hard work!" Putting down the jade hand that was covering his mouth, Diao Chan said to Zhen Mi: "Although this Luoyang City is impregnable, the city is mixed, and there are many merchants from other places, who knows if there are any bad people among them?" Zhen Ji's sister's husband's house is not here, and her sister is placed in the outer compartment, how can His Royal Highness rest assured? ”

Diao Chan's words dispelled Zhen Mi's worries.

In the first two days she stayed in Luoyang, she always felt uneasy, for fear that Liu Wei would do something to her by relying on the identity of King Qin.

But many days have passed, and Liu Wei has not been to her residence at all, which makes her feel a lot more at ease.

Although she is a lot more relieved, she misses Yuan Xi all day long, and she is in Luoyang, for fear that Liu Wei will suddenly come one day, and her deep worries are still there.

What Diao Chan said just now, Zhen Mi didn't think about it, but when the words came out of Diao Chan's mouth, they were a little more convincing than her own thoughts.

"yes!" Always with a smile on her face, Tang Ji nodded and said to Zhen Mi: "Zhen Ji didn't think about it because she was uncomfortable living in the palace, but because she thought that King Qin was also going back and forth in the palace all day long, she couldn't let go of it in her heart!" ”

was pierced by Tang Ji's words, Zhen Mi lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and was speechless for a long time.

Looking at Zhen Mi, the smile on Tang Ji's face became brighter, and he said to everyone in the courtyard: "Look, look, Zhen Ji is really worried about His Highness!" ”

was told that her mind was broken, and Zhen Mi lowered her head a little deeper.

"Zhen Ji!" Tang Ji opened the conversation, and Cai Yan said on the side: "No man in this world can be trusted, but Your Highness, it can't be more credible!" ”

Hearing Cai Yan's words, Zhen Mi hurriedly looked up at her, although she was speechless, the look in her eyes revealed the hope that she would continue to speak.

"Prince Xianyi and His Royal Highness are old acquaintances, and they go straight to their own family!" Looking at Zhen Mi and Zhen Mi, Cai Yan said to her: "As Princess Anyang said, the reason why His Royal Highness left Zhen Ji in the palace is to protect her, and nothing else. As the concubine of His Royal Highness, don't I know my husband? ”

"That's it!" Among the princesses, Liu Nu, the last one to marry Liu Wei, also interjected at this time and said: "Although the soldiers of Daqin are brave, they are also divided into several battalions. The best swordsmanship is none other than the dragoon guard under General Deng, second only to the dragoon guard, which is the palace guard. And there are two generals Wang Liu and Wang Zhen in the palace, swordsmen in the world, except for the nameless, who else can enter the palace? ”

"Nameless ......" nameless name, in Luoyang can be said to be even the children on the street know, can go to Zhen Mi who lives in Yecheng, but he doesn't know, when Liu Nu mentioned him, Zhen Mi repeated his name blankly.

"Don't mention it!" In the Qin Palace, almost everyone was a little jealous of Nameless, Tang Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since Zhen Ji already knows His Highness's hard work, can she be more stable in her heart?" ”

Tang Ji's question, Zhen Mi is really difficult to answer.

If you say that your heart is stable, it is undoubtedly admitting everyone's speculation just now, but if you say that you are not stable, it doesn't seem to be right.

With a red face, Zhen Mi lowered her head and did not speak.

"Zhen Ji!" Zhen Mizheng didn't know how to respond to Tang Ji, Guan Qing said to her on the side: "Your Highness has already made it clear to Prince Xianyi that there will be a battle between Duke Yuan and Cao Cao in the near future!" Cao Cao's troops were strong, and Yuan Gong was afraid that he was not an opponent. Zhen Ji stayed in Luoyang, and it was also His Royal Highness to relieve the worries of the young man Xianyi! ”

lowered his head and answered softly, Zhen Mi just didn't speak again.

Liu Bian's concubines and Diao Chan were all explaining Liu Bian's personality to Zhen Mi, which also made her vigilance against Liu Biao relax a lot.

No matter how powerful the hero is, it is not very easy to ask a group of women to say good things.

"That's it!" Everyone was chattering and comforting Zhen Mi, Tang Ji pressed his hand on them, and said with a smile: "Please wait, but these days, except for the princess, we have not been close to Zhen Ji." Today I have come to drink and talk about the rhythm of music, how can there be so many incidents? ”

When Tang Ji spoke, everyone stopped talking, and one by one they answered, and sat there, waiting for the maid to pour wine for them.

Although everyone no longer talked about Liu Wei, Zhen Mi was a little more curious about this King of Qin in his heart.

These princesses all said in unison how good he was, and Zhen Mi really wanted to know what kind of situation this King Qin was in.

The princesses and Diao Chan gathered at Zhen Mi's residence, and Liu Wei was standing by the lake in the back garden of the palace at this time, looking at the lake that had not frozen.

The shore of the lake is covered with snow, but the lake is full of sparkling blue water.

Different from ordinary days, looking at the lake on a snowy day has a different refreshing charm.

"I don't know how long this snow will last!" Looking up at the sky, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, as if talking to himself: "It is not appropriate to send troops in the snowy season, but why is this king a little uneasy in his heart......"

"Your Highness is worried that Yuan Benchu will choose these days to send troops?" Before Liu Wei's words were finished, Wang Zhen asked in a low voice: "Yuan Benchu's defeat is not what His Highness wants?" ”

"Whatever you want is what you want, but this king doesn't want him to lose too miserably!" Looking back at Wang Zhen and Wang Liu, Liu Wei shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is powerful, if Yuan Benchu can consume more soldiers and horses of Cao Cao in this battle, it will be much easier for this king to destroy Cao Cao in the future." But if he was defeated too quickly, then Cao Cao occupied Yecheng, wouldn't his power be able to expand several times in a short period of time? ”

Wang Zhen and Wang Liu, who didn't expect this layer at all, glanced at each other, and there was a trace of surprise in their eyes.

What Liu Wei said, they couldn't be clearer.

The longer the second battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao lasted, the more soldiers and horses on both sides were consumed, and the more beneficial it would be to Great Qin.

But once Yuan Shao was too easily defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao occupied Yecheng before Great Qin could react, so that Cao Cao would have enough time to expand his army and start a decisive battle with Great Qin.

With Cao Cao's fierce generals and groups of strategists, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer between the Qin army and the Cao army.

Things have always been in Liu Wei's plan.

Yuan Shao was defeated, and he could justifiably attack Cao Cao, and it was logical to seize Hebei, at most he would support Yuan Xi to be a puppet with no real power in Hebei.

Even those strategists in front of Cao Cao's tent are now most of their heads placed on Liu Bian's table, and as long as the dragoon guards go out on the expedition, their heads will become the handicrafts that Liu Bian placed on the table.

The only thing that was not in Liu Wei's grasp was how long the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could last.

If it can last from winter to the spring of the following year, the Great Qin soldiers can enter the territory of Xudu from Xuanyuan Pass, drive straight in, and break through Xudu.

With Liu Xie, Cao Cao lost the advantage of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, even if he won Yecheng, he could not have too long-term development.

Looking at the lake, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak again.

Approaching nightfall, the heavy snow was still falling, Yuan Shao in Yecheng felt a little tired after drinking with his wife in the small pavilion, so he returned to the bedroom accompanied by several maids.

As soon as he lay down, Yuan Shao hadn't fallen asleep yet, and a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Yuan Gong, ask to see you during the trial!" ”

Hearing the guard's report, Yuan Shao sat up and said to the outside of the house, "Please let him in and talk!" ”

The guard answered, and the door opened, and the snow-covered judge strode into the room.

Entering the room, the judge shook the snow falling on his body, hugged his fists and bowed to Yuan Shao.

Looking at the trial, Yuan Shao asked with a puzzled expression: "Where did Zhengnan go?" How is it covered in snow? ”

"Did Gong Yuan forget?" As soon as Yuan Shao's words were asked, the judge asked with some astonishment: "Earlier, Yuan Gong said that he would send troops to Chen Liu in the snowy season and fight Cao Cao to the death!" ”

"Oh!" Yuan Shao really didn't forget about this matter, he also mentioned it when he was drinking with his wife, but when he saw that the trial was covered with snow, he didn't understand where the trial went for a while, so he asked.

"In this way, Zhengnan went to the barracks!" After looking at the trial from head to toe, Yuan Shao asked him.

"The barracks really went, and I also went to a few sons!" Putting down his fists, he said to Yuan Shao: "Our army has been prepared, and this time we will go on an expedition, and I hope that Yuan Gong will clearly show how to march!" ”

"A certain pro-recruitment!" I had already prepared the plan to go to the conquest in person, and before I finished speaking, Yuan Shao said to him: "Then Cao Cao and a certain were once ministers of the same palace, and they still know each other a little, if they don't go, ...... if they don't go."

Having said this, Yuan Shao coughed violently again.

A maid on the side saw him coughing, and hurriedly ran behind him and gently helped him beat his back.

The maid helped him beat his back, and Yuan Shao's cough improved a little before waving her hand to let her step back.

Bowing to Yuan Shao, the maid got up and stepped aside.

"Yuan Gong!" As soon as the maid got up and walked away, the judge said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong is not safe, don't go out this time to recruit in person!" ”

"If so-and-so does not personally enlist, who can lead the army on behalf of so-and-so?" Looking up at the trial, Yuan Shao's face showed a touch of loneliness and said: "Zhengnan came just today, there is something that you need to witness, I have been thinking about it for a few days, if I leave the west one day, Hebei will be handed over to Xiansi......"
