The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

It is naturally impossible to sell artillery or something like that.

But the emperor's words also opened a new door for Yang Xiu.

"I see. That's why Your Majesty wants to promote Lun Heng."

"It seems unrelated, but there is a lot going on."

"If you improve yourself every day, you will improve yourself every day, and then improve yourself every day... This is a quote from the Book of Rites. It seems that Your Majesty not only advocates the teachings of Fa, Mo, and Yang Zhu, but also believes in the unity of knowledge and practice of Confucianism."

"Ah."

Liu Xie shook his head: "Why are there so many different schools? Let alone the Confucianism of today, even if Confucius was dug out three hundred years ago, he wouldn't recognize that it was the Confucianism he founded."

"Whether it's the various schools of thought, whether it's emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, or advocating trade, it's all for one thing—"

Yang Xiu seemed to be eager to discuss this with the emperor: "Are they the people of the world?"

"What Dezu said is... similar, but I originally wanted to say it was human."

People and people...

Yang Xiu began to scratch his head, looking as if he was thinking hard.

"If you can't figure it out, just think about it slowly... Go, Dezu, help me get some crispy fish for us to eat."

"Here."

……

Liu Xie stayed in Handan much longer than expected.

Because when the three clan leaders of Beiting Protectorate heard that the emperor was going to Hebei, they insisted on coming to meet the emperor.

Liu Xie could not refuse the kind invitation, so he stayed in Handan for a while longer. After the three clan leaders came to meet him, he continued to move eastward.

When the news spread that the three clan leaders of Beiting Protectorate were heading to Handan together, Buyeo Marquis Jian Weiju, Goguryeo Marquis Go Yeonyou, and Goguryeo Marquise Yu all changed their expressions.

They just wanted to shout to the three tribes of Beiting—

"Roll you hemp!"

The three tribes of Beiting lived far outside the Great Wall, but when they heard that the emperor's carriage was coming to Hebei, they all came to pay homage to him.

Could such small countries as these turn a blind eye to the coming of the emperor?

The Xiongnu had been the overlord of the grassland for a hundred years, and was once an equal to the Han Dynasty! The Xianbei also unified the grassland twice briefly, and even the Wuhuan were invincible in the northeast... Forces of this scale did not dare to be arrogant in front of the emperor, let alone them?

Moreover, the Jingguan that the emperor built with the heads of the Three Han people in Lushun a few years ago is still there. Who dares to turn a blind eye to the emperor at this time?
Buyeo and Goguryeo immediately presented a letter to Xu Rong, who was staying in Liaozhou, requesting to go to Qingzhou to meet the emperor.

Xu Rong certainly agreed to this matter, but he was a little puzzled as to why Japan, one of the three kingdoms in Liaozhou, did not respond to this matter, so he sent an envoy to inquire.

When the envoy arrived in Japan by ferry, he heard that Japan was now at war with the Gou Kingdom in the south, so he immediately returned to Liaozhou to report to Xu Rong.

"Is there such a thing?"

Xu Rong shook his head.

Xu Rong was not interested in what happened in Japan.

But Wakoku was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty after all, and Himiko had been exceptionally docile in front of the emperor last time, so there was no reason to just stand by and watch her die.

He randomly drew 2,000 troops from Buyeo and Goguryeo and sent them across the sea to help Japan.

Unexpectedly, the two thousand vassal troops did not defeat the enemy as imagined, but were defeated step by step.

Someone sent the weapons captured on the battlefield to Liaozhou. After carefully examining them, Xu Rong said uncertainly, "Could this be a weapon from Jiangdong?"

The sword had short hair and a shiny blade, which was obviously not a weapon that the Japanese were capable of forging.

Moreover, the patterns on it are exactly the same as the Jiangdong sword in Xu Rong's impression.

"hiss……"

Xu Rong originally thought that the war in Japan should not be worth mentioning.

But the weapons used by the Dog Slave Kingdom were really strange, so they finally reported it quickly to the emperor who had already entered Qingzhou.

"Jiangdong..."

Liu Xie didn't know what to say. How could Sun Quan do such a thing?
But Japan...

Liu Xie looked behind him and happened to meet Lu Bu's eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Xie pondered for a while, then immediately waved his hand and called Lu Bu.

"Fengxian, I remember that I wanted to establish a state, but I told you the first one. But I haven't appointed you as a vassal yet. Are you getting anxious and angry?"

"I dare not!"

But Lu Bu also smiled naively.

"It doesn't matter whether you are a prince or not, but you should always stretch your muscles."

Ever since the battle with Cao Cao in Mangdang Mountain, Lu Bu's sharpest sword in the Han Empire has been hidden.

It's not that the high birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden.

I drew my sword and looked around, feeling really confused.

Looking around the world, there are basically no enemies that Lu Bu, the great Han cavalry general, needs to deal with.

Even if it is the Western Regions, it can be easily resolved by sending Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The battle in Jiangdong would definitely be a naval battle, which Lü Bu was not very good at...

That's why Lu Bu said that it's really time to stretch your muscles!

"I understand."

Liu Xie pointed to the endless sea——

"Since today is the case, let's go to Japan to exercise."

"At the same time, that will also be your burial ground!"

If the first sentence only made Lu Bu happy, the second sentence was mostly shocking!
Everyone followed the emperor out, didn't they just get the news that he was going to start establishing states?

Lu Bu just didn’t expect that the first person would be himself!
However, Lu Bu has always been straightforward, especially in front of the emperor, and he does not have the courtesy of those civil servants.

He responded to the emperor with only one word -

"Here!"

Even the Red Hare beside him could feel Lu Bu's inner restlessness, and it couldn't help but snort.

Since they had already reached the seaside, Liu Xie set up camp there.

When Dong Bai and others saw the endless sea, they all screamed.

Take off your shoes and socks, step on the soft sand, and feel the waves lapping against you.

Cai Yan, Fu Shou, Dong Shi, Zhen Ji...

Even if they wanted to maintain their modesty, the attraction of the sea to inland people obviously made them ignore these things. They stood on the beach with their skirts lifted, constantly splashing the water in front of them with their toes.

Dong Bai even became an expert at catching seafood. Together with Cao Jie and Sun Shangxiang, they soon filled a bucket with all kinds of seafood.

Octopus, crab, clams, oysters, shells... No? Why is there a seabird in it?
After pouring all these seafood in front of Liu Xie as if showing off, and Liu Xie personally cooked these seafood and fed them to everyone, Dong Bai burped and suddenly asked Liu Xie a very philosophical question -

"Your Majesty, what's on the other side of the sea?"

Is it a fairy?
Is it a fairy mountain?
Or something else?

Even the most knowledgeable Cai Yan could not answer this question. She looked at Liu Xie quietly, obviously expecting an answer.

"Ha, if it was in the past, I would definitely not be able to answer Bai's question."

"But this time, I can tell Bai that on the other side of the sea..."

Liu Xie let the sea breeze blow his face, but his eyes remained firm.

"It is still a vassal state of the Han Dynasty! It is still the place where the people of the Han Dynasty will live and multiply in the future!" (End of this chapter)
