The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 483 Two Sons
Before Fancheng was rebuilt, Liu Bian was going to lead his army back to Wancheng and preside over the attack on Yuan Shu.

Liu Bian left [-] troops under the command of Liu Yu and Fu Youde, and explained the reconstruction of Fancheng and the prevention of plague, so he planned to return to Wancheng with the remaining [-] troops.

At this moment, a troop of cavalry from the south came on horseback and shouted: "Jingzhou urgent report!"

"Hurry up!"

The cavalry rushed up the hillside and reported to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, Jingzhou urgently reported that Wancheng was destroyed, fifty thousand and tens of thousands of troops were destroyed, only a few hundred generals fled back to Xiangyang alone, and even Huang Zu fell into the river and died. , the people were furious, and the anger of the people in Xiangyang could not be dispelled for a while!"

Liu Bian nodded: "The general fled back, and the [-] army was wiped out, what would the people think? Besides, the battle had already created momentum before, and the people did not support Liu Biao's launch of this war! Now that the army is destroyed, the families of the dead soldiers will let it go Liu Biao? When Liu Biao heard the news, how would he express it?"

The cavalry spies clasped their hands and replied, "When Liu Biao heard about this, he immediately vomited blood for three liters and fell into a coma. He didn't wake up until today, and now he called a civil and military discussion to move the government office to Jiangling to avoid the sharp edge temporarily. Today, the Chinese and military capital of Xiangyang City We are preparing to move the government office, as for who will stay behind in Xiangyang City, how the soldiers and horses are, these are secrets, I have not found out yet!"

"Jiangling?" Liu Bian was silent.

Wei Xiaokuan on one side explained: "Jiangling is the second largest city in Southern County after Xiangyang. Its prosperity is not inferior to that of Xiangyang. Moreover, most of Jingzhou's supplies are stored in Jiangling. As a governing place, apart from Xiangyang, Jiangling is the only viable place in Jingzhou!"

Liu Bian sneered and said, "This Liu Biao is very ambitious, but he has no guts. If he still uses Xiangyang as the governing place, how much would I think highly of him and move the governing place to Jiangling? This is because he was scared out of his wits." Ah! If the pattern of the world does not change much, I can rest easy and attack Yuan Shu!"

All the generals also sneered, and Liu Bian warned: "Even so, Deyu, you should not take it lightly. The two of you stationed troops in Fancheng, with an army of [-] under your command. In addition to being responsible for rebuilding Fancheng, you must make these soldiers familiar with water, Let me turn the [-] troops into a navy!"

"The last general obeys the order!" The two looked terrified, knowing that Liu Bian would attack the south with an army of [-] in honor in the future.

After Liu Bian finished his explanation, he led the [-] Imperial Forest Army and set off northward to return to Wancheng.However, when the weather was dry and the weather was dry, the road going south was unimpeded. When returning, due to heavy rain for days, roads collapsed, landslides, mudslides, etc. seriously damaged the roads. It took Liu Bian nearly [-] days to return to Wancheng.

After returning to Wancheng, Wang Meng led the civil and military personnel from the city out of the city for twenty miles to greet them. The civil and military priests on both sides of the official road stood up and said in unison: "Congratulations to your majesty for winning the flag and winning Fancheng in one fell swoop!"

"This battle is nothing more than counselors offering advice, and the soldiers are using their lives. I am accompanying you just to build momentum and put pressure on the enemy. Let's get back together!" Liu Bian held up his hands.

All civil and military generals Liu Bian welcomed into Fancheng and sat down in the government office. On the right were Wang Meng, Wei Xiaokuan, Guo Jia, Fang Xuanling and others, and on the left were Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, Yang Miaozhen, Dian Wei and others.

"Jing Lue, I have been in Fancheng for more than a month, is there any news from the princes?" Liu Bian asked.

Wang Meng cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the princes from all walks of life criticized Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor with words and pens. Even Yuan Shu's brother Yuan Shao expelled the envoys sent by Yuan Shu and cursed Yuan Shu. There is no border, only Xuzhou Tao Qian and Sun Jian who have recovered Wujun and Danyang in Jiangdong! Then there are Zhao Kuangyin in Yanzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Nanyang we occupy!"

"Tao Qian, Liu Biao is timid and cowardly. Tao Qian is afraid that he will not dare to attack Yuan Shu. The main force to attack Yuan Shu may be me, Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin. As for Liu Biao, I was frightened just now. If he has some wisdom Therefore, we should send troops from Jiangxia to attack the Lujiang area, even if we don’t mean it sincerely, we should send troops to show our favor to me!” Liu Bian commented.

Wang Meng shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know if Liu Biao has such wisdom, but His Majesty guessed well in other aspects. Zhao Kuangyin of Yanzhou stationed troops on the border of Yuzhou, and wanted to go to Lu State first, and then went south from Lu State. And Jiangdong Sun Jian is still there. He fought against Liu Yao in Yuzhang, but he sent his son and grandson CE to station troops in Danyang along the border of Lujiang River, and also made a move to attack Yuan Shu! But neither of them sent troops, but Chen Bing on the border!"

Liu Bian sneered and said: "They are all old, treacherous and cunning people. They want me to act first to attract Yuan Shu's main force to be in Runan. And they are called Bandit Suppressors, but they want to use Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor to expand their power. It's all about strength!"

"Zhao Kuangyin wants Yuzhou, Sun Jian wants Lujiang and Jiujiang!"

Liu Bian made a conclusion.

"These people are all ambitious, and they want to use His Majesty to benefit them? If Your Majesty doesn't want to attack Yuan Shu by himself, why should he rely on various princes to benefit them?" Yang Zaixing said angrily.

After listening to Yang Zaixing's words, Liu Bian laughed, and Liu Bian explained: "This deal is not worth it. Now I can only have [-] soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you want to capture Yuan Shu, in terms of strength It is a disadvantage, even though my soldiers and horses are good at fighting, even if Yuan Shu is retreating steadily, if I want to destroy Yuan Shu, I will not be able to defeat Yuan Shu in three years, and I will not be able to secure Huainan in ten years!"

"Furthermore, you guys don't know Yuan Thief's temperament. If I delay him for three to five years, he will definitely recruit Huainan's strong men to resist me. Even if I get Huainan by then, the people in Huainan will not survive. , Chiye Qianli, then I won Huainan, it can be said to be of no use at all. Instead of this, it is better to give Huainan to other princes, destroy Yuan Shu as soon as possible, and save the people in Huainan. , when Hebei is unified, I will attack the Central Plains and the South!"

All the soldiers suddenly realized after hearing this, and Wang Meng on the side added: "Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian are not mediocre people, and they and His Majesty have tacitly agreed on the matter of attacking Yuan Shu. Your Majesty uses them to quickly destroy Yuan Shu and save the great man." And they took this opportunity to expand their territory and carve up Huainan's strength! I also agree with His Majesty's strategy against Yuan Shu. They are reluctant to fight with Yuan Shu to destroy Huainan. It is better to use the power of the princes to destroy Huainan as soon as possible. Your Majesty It’s better to get up early to attack other princes!”

Liu Bian nodded and said with a smile: "Jing Lue also supports my strategy of using the princes to deal with Yuan Shu, so it is settled. Now that the scorching summer has arrived, the scorching heat is not suitable for a big war, and it has been several months since the attack on Nanyang. We can’t catch enough food and grass! Let’s not use swords and soldiers for now. When the hot summer is over and the food and grass are harvested, we will send troops to attack Yuan Shu! In addition, we wrote to Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian, I will contain Yuan Shu’s main force in Runan, and let them send troops to attack Yuan Shu! , I will definitely reward you!"

There must be a big reward?Liu Bian did not specify what the reward was, but in the eyes of Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian, it was the emperor who gave them the land they had acquired.But Liu Bian didn't have this kind of plan. He made it clear to them that he couldn't take advantage of the righteousness when attacking them.Although Liu Bian couldn't get the territory in Huainan, Liu Bian wanted to disgust Zhao and Sun.

When Yuan Shu is destroyed in the future, Liu Bian can make Sun Jian the governor of Yuzhou and Zhao Kuangyin the governor of Yangzhou. In this way, let them eat dogs like dogs.Naturally, the two would not exchange territories, but not exchanging territories would be a rebellion, and Liu Bian would have reason to send troops to attack them in the future.

As soon as Wang Meng heard that there must be a big reward, he knew Liu Bian's plan. This was obviously a blank check, but Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian didn't accept it in order to expand their strength.

Wang Meng understood Liu Bian's meaning, so he knew the content of the letter and how to consider the meaning.He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will be handled properly!"

"I have been away for a long time, and now I can't send troops to attack Yuan Shu in the scorching heat. There are still two months before autumn, and the affairs in Luoyang are probably piled up like a mountain, and the two concubines in the palace are about to give birth, and I will return to Luoyang!" Explained the affairs, Liu The debate raised the matter of returning to Luoyang.

At this time, it was the seventh month of the first year of Jian'an, 195 AD!
Liu Bian left Wang Meng to sit in Nanyang, and Yang Zaixing was left to take orders in Nanyang. He led the [-] Imperial Forest Army and returned to Luoyang with Wei Xiaokuan, Guo Jia, Yang Miaozhen, Yang Yansi, Dian Wei and others.

On the sixth day of June last year, Liu Bian's first son, Liu Zhi, was born. At that time, Cai Yan and Fu Shou were also pregnant successively, and the due date was in June and July.However, there was no good news from Luoyang during this period. Liu Bian estimated that it was not yet in production. It happened that Nanyang was attacking Yuan Shu just in midsummer and could not send troops. This neutral gear has returned to Luoyang.

After Liu Bian returned to Luoyang, a group of ministers led by San Gong went out to greet him, and after a few greetings, Liu Bian returned to the palace.

Liu Bian returned to the palace, and before he entered the palace gate, he watched the palace maids rushing over from a distance, and reported: "Your Majesty, you can count yourself back. Two days ago, Empress Fushou gave birth to a dragon son for you, and Empress Cai is about to give birth today. , Empress Dowager asked you to go directly to Empress Cai's bedroom to meet her when you come back!"

Liu Bian was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's still a step too late, I don't want Fushou to give birth, have the mother and child been safe?"

"Several genius doctors come to take care of you from time to time. The ladies are in good condition. Both mother and child are safe. The eldest prince is now one year old, and he is already babbling and can walk!" the maid replied.

Liu Bian was even more happy when he heard the words, and strode towards Cai Yan's bedroom. Before arriving at Cai Yan's bedroom, the doorway was already full of people, and there was even the sound of wailing inside the palace.

"He gave birth? He hugged two sons as soon as he came back?"

Liu Bian walked to the gate of the palace, before he had time to salute the Empress Dowager, a fat woman rushed out of the palace, bowed to the Empress Dowager and said: "Congratulations, Empress Dowager, Concubine Cai gave birth to another prince for the Son of Heaven, mother and child are safe ah!"
