Chapter 440 Volume Luxurious lineup!

Large amounts of food, fodder and military equipment in Guanzhong and Central Plains were moved again.

The imperial court also issued a manifesto at a court meeting to denounce Yuan Tan’s claim to be king.

As soon as the manifesto came out, everyone knew that the imperial court might send troops!

Zhang Fei officially raised his flag in Bohai, blocked the road to the north of Qingzhou, and put great pressure on Yuan Tan from a high position.

Xu Huang sent troops from Hedong and stationed them in the plain area, silently watching Qingzhou at the border, ready to give Yuan Tan a thundering blow at any time!
The entire eastern part of North China, especially the border between Qingzhou and Jizhou, has become completely tense, and it seems that they are ready to fight to the death!
Only a few people knew that the court’s real target was Cao Cao.

In the last few days, Liu Xie also finalized the candidates for this expedition.

Niu Fu stayed in Chang’an to guard the city, while Zhang Xiu led his troops to Nanyang as a backup. Hao Zhao’s troops in Taiyuan went to Hedong to protect the grain route from Guanzhong to Hebei.

Lu Bu acted as the sharpest knife in this battle. He marched straight into the fog formed by several pillars of the country, led his troops to attack Pengcheng, and pierced Cao Cao’s heart in one fell swoop!

“In addition, Zhongshu Ling Jia Xu, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, and Shizhong Yang Xiu stayed in Chang’an to handle government affairs as the heads of the three provinces.”

When Yang Xiu heard that the emperor would not take him with him this time, he was about to take the initiative to volunteer, but he was blocked by Yang Biao at home and beaten half to death!

“Do you like going to the battlefield so much? You don’t want to stay as the governor of three provinces, but have to go to the front line to risk your life? And with your little knowledge of the battlefield, can you compare with Sima Zhongda?”

Yang Xiu defended himself: “Dad! You don’t understand! I have a hunch! This battle is crucial! If you don’t let me go, you will definitely regret it!”

“I don’t believe it! Now you and Sima Zhongda are both the heads of three provinces. How much higher can you be promoted? Can you become one of the Three Dukes?”

“Dad, if something unexpected happens to you, maybe…”

“I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial son!”

……

In addition, Zhuge Liang, as expected, went on the expedition with the emperor.

Also accompanying him were Pang Tong, Lu Xun and Cao Pi.

It is not surprising to lead Pang Tong and Lu Xun to the expedition.

But leading Cao Pi to war seems somewhat intriguing.

Cao Pi went to see Cao Jie, wanting Cao Jie to help him try to find out what the emperor wanted to say indirectly.

“Don’t go!”

Cao Jie rejected Cao Pi without hesitation.

Cao Pi showed a pitiful expression, but Cao Jie remained unmoved.

Seeing Cao Jie like this, Cao Pi stamped his feet and then pulled out a string of five-zhu coins from his sleeve: “Sister! Ask for your brother, and the money will be yours! How do you think?”

Cao Jie remained silent, turned around, took out a fist-sized piece of gold from the house and threw it to Cao Pi.

“If you don’t bother me anymore, I’ll give you the gold. How about that?”

Cao Pi’s eyes widened instantly!
“Where did it come from?”

“Your Majesty rewarded it.”

Cao Pi suddenly felt heartbroken!

“Sister! Is His Majesty willing to accept me into the palace? Oh! Sister! Sister! Why did you go to the Ministry of Justice? Come back! Come back! I beg you! Come back, please?”

……

Changle Palace.

Just before going to the war, Zhen Mi was about to give birth.

Liu Xie listened to Zhen Mi’s hoarse cries inside, clenched his sleeves with both hands, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fortunately, after a cry, Cai Yan, Fu Shou, and Cao Jie all walked out feeling relieved.

“Your Majesty, mother and child are safe!”

Liu Xie stepped forward, took a look at his third son, nodded slightly, and asked Cai Yan to take the child away and take care of him carefully.

When she came to the inner room, Zhen Mi’s hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead. She was lying on the bed with a weak face. Seeing the emperor coming, Zhen Mi smiled slightly.

Just when Liu Xie was about to persuade Zhen Mi to take good care of herself, unexpectedly Zhen Mi suddenly whispered in Liu Xie’s ear: “Your Majesty, it feels so good to have a baby.”

“Well, I’m really tired… No, what did you just say?”

Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi’s excitement hidden under her tiredness in astonishment, and silently withdrew the words of concern from his lips…

When Zhen Mi saw that the emperor didn’t even say a word to show his concern for her at this time, she felt even happier!
……

Before leaving, Yonghua, the king of Shan, and Bie, the king of Pyu, also submitted a petition requesting to accompany the emperor.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xie felt that there was no harm in taking them along, so he agreed to let the two of them go with the army.

“set off!”

After the Battle of Anyi and the Battle of Hebei, the dragon banner of the Han emperor set out from Chang’an for the third time!

This time, its goal is to face Jieshi in the east and overlook the vast ocean!

Yuan Tan and Cao Cao were both extremely surprised when they heard this.

“Why is the emperor sending troops to the east this year?”

Yuan Tan quickly asked Cao Cao for help.

When Cao Cao heard that the emperor was actually sending troops at this time, he did not think that this was Liu Xie’s original plan.

“It must be Yuan Tan who proclaimed himself king and angered the emperor!”

“The emperor is now in his prime and will not tolerate anyone challenging his prestige!”

“That’s why they brazenly launched the war ahead of time and sent troops towards Qingzhou!”

Cao Cao was quite happy.

In his opinion, the emperor must have lost his mind because he was enraged by the news of Yuan Tan’s declaration of kingship, which is why he chose to send troops to attack Yuan Tan in advance!

“In this case, my chance has come!”

“…”

Compared to Cao Cao’s excitement, Guo Jia, a counselor who had been with the emperor day and night, always felt that something was strange…

Could it be that the emperor was really blinded by power and decided to start a war prematurely?

This kind of thing has happened countless times in history, especially when the emperor is so young, it is most likely to happen…

But Guo Jia always felt that the emperor should not do such a stupid thing.

But since the emperor would not do such a stupid thing, how do we explain the current situation?
It’s impossible that everything was planned by the emperor, right?

No, it’s impossible.

Even Guo Jia didn’t dare to think about this matter so absurdly.

The Han Dynasty was now so powerful, why would the emperor have to go to so much trouble to deal with Cao Cao?

Cao Cao was just a defeated general of the emperor. There was no reason for the emperor to attach so much importance to Cao Cao.

With his mind at ease, Guo Jia also began to encourage Cao Cao –

“Mingsir, send out the troops!”

Xiahou Yuan and Man Chong marched northward from Runan, directly attacking Guan Yu who was stationed in Xuchang.

Cao Cao personally led Cao Chun, Cao Ang, Xu Chu and others to Shanyang in the north!
This time, Cao Cao is going to win an unprecedented victory and officially break the myth of the Han Dynasty’s invincibility!
at the same time.

As the vanguard, Lu Bu suddenly left the army after arriving in Puyang, crossed the Wei River, and headed straight for Pengcheng!

He rides on the crotch and holds a red rabbit that hisses in the wind, and a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand.

Lu Bu moved his neck twice ferociously.

After resting for such a long time, Lu Bu just wanted to get to Pengcheng as soon as possible and stretch his muscles!
