Chapter 60: Plan Ahead
"Your Majesty, this is the proposed expansion plan of the Dragon Guardian Villa, manpower, weapons, and the scope of the imperial city have all been expanded, please take a look."
"Your Majesty, this is the latest plan for the construction of the West Factory, and it is expected that the scale will be more than double that of the original, please review it."
On the Chengguang Palace, Zhu Wuzhi and Yuhuatian handed over the recital one after another and asked Liu Xie for instructions.
According to Liu Xie's instructions, the two of them extorted a large amount of materials from Cao Cao's hands, in addition to expanding their manpower lineup, the rest could also be put into the treasury, so that the Han treasury had the accumulation of materials for the first time.
Liu Xie looked at the springy looks on the faces of the two, smiled and put the fold aside, and didn't take a second look, "There are two Aiqing here, why should I worry about the Dragon Guardian Villa and the West Factory, everything should be done according to the wishes of the two Aiqing." ”
"Thank you for your grace!" Zhu ignored and Yuhuatian thanked him one after another.
"Leng Shouguang, how have you been in the West Factory recently? Can you adapt to the problems of the West Factory? ”
Then, Liu Xie looked at Leng Shouguang.
Leng Shouguang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Emperor Qiqi, the Lord of Chengyu will give instructions and teaching, the daily affairs of the West Factory, the minions have almost mastered the daily affairs, and the rest is the detective work, the minions are not yet proficient, and they are studying hard." ”
Liu Xie nodded, with a look of approval on his face, "There are many affairs in the West Factory, and it is not easy for you to master many matters in such a short period of time. ”
"Yes!" Yuhuatian and Leng Shouguang responded in unison.
"By the way, I heard that yesterday Yuan Shao's subordinate generals crossed the White Horse River and set up Cao Cao's defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River to disrupt, causing a sensation in Cao's army, but is there such a thing?"
Immediately, Liu Xie's expression turned grim, and he looked at Zhu Wuzhi and Yu Huatian and asked.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Yu Huatian hurriedly answered, his face was solemn, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart.
He had just received the battle on the White Horse River a few hours ago, and he hadn't had time to report it to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to be able to learn the news so quickly when he lived in the palace.
"The White Horse War, it seems that it was not premeditated, but a sudden war, Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, took the opportunity of training, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders of the White Horse River had not yet gained a foothold, led the light troops to launch a surprise attack, killing more than 100 defenders of the White Horse River, killing and wounding more than 500 people, fortunately Cao Cao's follow-up troops kept up in time, and Yan Liang was afraid of supplies, so he withdrew his troops back to the other side."
Yuhuatian is worthy of being the superintendent of the West Factory, in charge of the number one spy agency, although he was not at the scene of the incident, he was able to spy on the news clearly, and even described some details in great detail.
If the two armies are facing each other, if they can have this ability to spy on military intelligence, they can definitely greatly reduce misjudgment and increase the probability of victory.
"Yan Liangwen is ugly, it is rumored that he is the two fierce generals under Yuan Shao, he can be called his right-hand man, not only has good force, but also has first-class ability to command the army, even if it is a head-on battle, it may be difficult to defeat him, not to mention that he launched a surprise attack this time, no wonder Cao Cao will suffer a big loss."
Zhu ignored the opening and agreed.
Liu Xie nodded, and then fell into deep thought.
This world is obviously different from historical records, Yuan Shao's ambitions are high, overlooking the south bank of the Yellow River, I am afraid that Cao Cao's Qingyan and Henan three states have been coveted for a long time.
Yan Liang's raid on the White Horse River seems to be rising, but no one knows whether there is Yuan Shao's strategic vision and deployment behind it.
It is very likely that this is a temptation by Yuan Shao, if once he perceives Cao Cao's weakness, Yuan Shao is very likely to launch an attack in a very short period of time and fight Cao Cao!
Although Liu Xie has not moved Cao Cao, after several battles, Cao Cao's strength has undoubtedly been weakened, which makes him have a greater disadvantage in the decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
pacified Yuan Shao, Liu Xie didn't count on Cao Cao at all, in fact, he didn't have to count on Cao Cao, Xuzhou had been taken, which was enough as capital for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
I have to go to find Xiang Yu, deploy the matter of combat, once Yuan Shao launches an attack in a short time, Liu Xie will order Xiang Yu to quickly assault from Xuzhou and smash Yuan Shao's lair, so as to achieve the strategic goal of pacifying the north.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie straightened his face, "Yuhuatian, the preparation for the construction of the West Factory, I will hand it over to Leng Shouguang first, and you will travel with me." ”
"I don't know where the emperor is going?"
Yu Huatian was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Ignorance, and then asked.
"Xuzhou." Liu Xie said, looking outside, his eyes flashing.
"This trip, you need to be low-key and simple, and you must not make a public statement, and you must not let anyone notice that my traces appear in Xuzhou."
"Hanhou!"
"In!" Zhu ignored a step forward, his face was calm, and his steps were powerful.
"After I leave the palace, you can suspend the morning court for a few days on the grounds that I am not feeling well, and lock the palace strictly inside, cut off all internal and external contacts, and never release any clues."
"Wechen obeys!"
Although Zhu Wuzhi didn't know what the emperor was going to do, since he was so cautious, it must be related to the luck of the world, and he should spare no effort at the moment to claim yes, with a firm gaze.
"Your Majesty, let the servants go with you, there will be someone to serve on the way." Leng Shouguang asked with concern on the side.
"Leng Shouguang, I know your loyalty, but it is enough to have the rain lord go with me, you need to stay in the palace, and the West Factory will be handed over to you to deal with all the matters."
"But......" Leng Shouguang still wanted to insist, but was interrupted by Liu Xie waving his palm.
"Without further ado, Yuhuatian, you and I quickly disguised ourselves and dressed in civilian clothes, and we will go to Xuzhou, if it is late, I am afraid that the general trend of the world will change."
"The minion is going to change into civilian clothes." Yu Huatian said, leaving in a hurry.
Half an hour later, a suave son-in-law, accompanied by an elegant-looking steward, traveled lightly, left Xudu City, and headed for Xuzhou.
"Yuhuatian, I didn't expect you to take off the clothes of the celebrant and your face is not so fierce, but like a teacher, polite." Liu Xie looked at Yuhuatian and joked.
"The emperor laughed, the slave was originally born as a literati, just because he has served in the power center of the celebrant for a long time, sometimes there is no fierceness on his face, others are not afraid of you, and many things are not easy to do.
Yu Huatian smiled self-deprecatingly.
"By the way, I have important things to do when I go to Xuzhou this time, and in order to avoid identity, the title between you and me needs to be changed."
"But by the emperor's orders."
As soon as Yu Huatian heard the emperor's order, the ruthless aura of Xichang on his body couldn't help but appear, and his eyes were sharp.
"From this moment on, I am a gentleman in Xu Ducheng, you can call me Long Gongzi, as for you......"
Liu Xie said, looking up and down at Yuhuatian, "The clouds turn into rain, the wind rolls thunder, you will change your surname to Lei and call your ** family." ”
"You and I are here to visit relatives in Xuzhou."
"Minions take it to heart!" Yu Huatian said, arching his hand again, wanting to salute Liu Xie, and then remembered that his identity had changed, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "The old slave remembers." ”
"Hehe, I'm adapting quite quickly, since that's the case, let's speed up the trip, **home!"
"Drive!"
The two good horses left the dust and went straight to Xuzhou.
