Shuhan

The next morning, the dawn broke and a touch of light blue gradually dyed the sky, indicating that a new day was about to begin.

Liu Chan slowly got up from the couch, moving gently, for fear of disturbing the person sleeping next to him.

He turned his head and saw Bu Lianshi lying there quietly with a gentle smile on her face, as if she was immersed in a sweet dream. The satisfaction and peace in her heart made Liu Chan feel warm.

When I was young, I didn’t know how helpful an aunt was and I mistakenly treated a young girl as a treasure.

Last night, Liu Chan tried his best.

Perhaps only this woman could push him to this point.

Liu Chan stared at Bu Lianshi quietly, feeling mixed emotions.

Last night, they forgot the constraints of their status and the rules and etiquette within the palace walls, and just leaned on each other like an ordinary couple, sharing the rare warmth and joy.

But such time was too short. State affairs were heavy and the world was uncertain. The burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a mountain and he could not afford to slack off in the slightest.

With a light sigh, Liu Chan carefully stood up from the bed, trying not to make any noise.

With the help of the palace maid, he put on his clothes and quickly left the bedroom.

When Liu Chan stepped out of the bedroom, Bu Lianshi, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes. He looked at Liu Chan's departing back, and smiled foolishly on his face, as if he was recalling the previous feeling, and couldn't help licking the corner of his lips again.

How can one night be enough to relieve the anger that has accumulated over the years?
She will give birth to a few more princes for Your Majesty!

Tonight, tomorrow night, and even in the nights to come, it will continue!
At that time, she would like to see whether you, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, can still treat me as a concubine?

The early morning sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and onto the main hall of the Han Emperor's palace.

Liu Chan walked in slowly at this moment, but looked a little embarrassed.

Because of the excessive effort in sex last night, he felt sore in his waist and back, as if his whole body was drained out. There were two obvious dark circles under his eyes, like two panda eyes, indicating that he only slept for two or three hours last night.

He walked slowly into the main hall, and each step seemed heavy.

Fei Yi had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Liu Chan's appearance, he couldn't help but cough jokingly, with a playful smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, you have to take good care of your body. I have some tiger penis wine at home, which is a very tonic. Do you want me to send some back to you?"

There was some concern in Fei Yi's words, but more of it was teasing.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chan glared at Fei Yi unhappily. He muttered to himself, "You're the only one who talks too much, right? You're still teasing me at this time."

But on the surface, he had to maintain the majesty of the king.

"If you have deer antlers, tiger penis, or other tonics, please send them to the palace. Send a thousand kilograms. If not, I will hold you accountable!"

There was a hint of majesty in Liu Chan's words.

Fei Yi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had dug such a big hole for himself by talking too much.

A thousand kilograms of tiger penis wine? He only has a dozen kilograms at home!
He immediately looked at Liu Chan with grievance, his eyes seemed to say: "Your Majesty, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Liu Chan couldn't help but feel amused when he saw Fei Yi's appearance.

Although Fei Yi liked to joke, he was diligent and meticulous in dealing with state affairs, and Liu Chan did not really take it to heart.

He immediately said, "Alright, alright, I was just joking. Let's get down to business. How are the preparations for the Jiangdong Military Conference going?"

When Fei Yi heard about the serious matter, he immediately became alert. He put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already arranged the military lecture in Jiangdong."

Liu Chan asked again: "Have you prepared the food, fodder, money and silk?"

The Jiangdong Military Review was not just a simple military exercise, but also an important test of the Han regime's transformation results of the surrendered soldiers from the Eastern Wu.

Liu Chan had the grand ambition of conquering the Wei Kingdom in the north and restoring the Han Dynasty. To achieve this goal, in addition to the heroic fighting of his own soldiers, he also needed to transform the once hostile Dongwu soldiers into a usable elite force.

The preparations for the Military Conference were proceeding in full swing, and Fei Yi was responsible for the main preparatory tasks for the conference.

The importance of this Jiangdong Military Review requires that every detail must be carefully planned and no mistakes can be made.

The site is located on a vast plain beside a large river. It has a flat terrain and a wide view, which is convenient for large-scale military exercises.

And around this plain, the Han people's scouts had already been densely deployed to prevent any accidents.

"Your Majesty, the money, rice, and other supplies needed for the military forum have all been prepared in sufficient quantities."

Fei Yi stood in front of Liu Chan and respectfully reported the preparations.

His eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence, which was the calmness accumulated from many years of assisting the king and handling state affairs.

Liu Chan heard this and nodded slightly, frowning slightly, as if he was still thinking about something. "Okay, this matter cannot be neglected. Do you have a detailed plan for the order and venue of the military lecture?"

There was an unquestionable dignity in his words, and it was obvious that he had high hopes for this conference.

Fei Yi took out a roll of drawings from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it, and introduced in detail the process arrangement, venue layout, and specific contents of various drills of the military conference.

His words were clear and powerful, and every detail was considered carefully and meticulously, which made people admire his meticulous preparations.

"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared as planned, and we are only waiting for the military parade to begin."

After hearing this, Liu Chan's expression eased a little, but he immediately raised a new concern: "This military discussion is related to the Northern Expedition. Sima Yi of Wei is no ordinary person. He will never sit idly by. Do we have a plan to deal with emergencies?"

Fei Yi was well prepared, and he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have arranged several elite troops as mobile forces in advance, ready to deal with any emergency that may occur.

At the same time, the Military Affairs Department is also closely monitoring the movements of the Wei State. If there is any sign of trouble, we will be able to respond quickly."

Hearing this, Liu Chan finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The road to the Northern Expedition was difficult and dangerous, and every step had to be taken with caution.

This military conference was not only a test for the surrendered soldiers from Eastern Wu, but also a review of the overall military strength of the Han Dynasty, and more importantly, it was a full preparation for the future Northern Expedition.

"Okay, with you Fei Yi here, I feel at ease."

Three days later, at dawn, the land of Jiangdong was covered with a faint golden glow, foreshadowing that this day would be extraordinary.

On the bank of the river, a towering platform rises from the ground, several meters high, like a fortress in the sky, majestic and solemn.

On the high platform, flags of various colors fluttered in the wind, the dragon flag flew, the general flag stood upright, the yamen flags, the general flags, and the banners intertwined into a colorful ocean, blocking the sunlight. It seemed like a colorful cloud in the sky, or like a chapter of history gently turning in the wind.

In front of the high platform was a formation of soldiers in distinctive armor, like a forest made of steel. At first glance, it looked like an endless wave, surging and surging with no end in sight.

The archers stood tall, holding longbows, their arrows flashing coldly in the sun, as if they were ready to shoot down the birds in the sky at any time; the infantry and cavalry were lined up in neat formations, with steady steps, their eyes revealing determination and unyielding spirit, as if the earth could not stop their progress.

The heavily armored soldiers were like moving fortresses. They had thick armor and walked slowly, but they exuded an unparalleled domineering aura. They conquered cities and were invincible. The siege soldiers were holding all kinds of equipment, including axes, hooks and forks, and behind them were siege equipment.

Their existence is to crush all obstacles into dust. The air is filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. The sound of war drums can be heard faintly, low and powerful. Every beat seems to hit everyone's heart, stirring up endless pride and passion.

On the surface of the river, there are dense warships and dotted sails, which complement each other with their reflections in the water, forming a spectacular picture.

In the distance, the mountains are undulating and shrouded in clouds and mist, as if they are also quietly watching the grand event that is about to begin.

In this land full of solemnity and glory, everyone is waiting with bated breath, whether it is the generals on the platform, the soldiers in the battle formation, or even the common people who have come from afar to watch the ceremony, they are all looking forward to this military conference!

On the high platform, Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was wearing dazzling golden armor. Under the sunlight, the golden light was shining, like a descending god of war.

He wore a dragon crown on his head, brocade on his shoulders, and a sword hung at his waist. The hilt of the sword was inlaid with gems, shining with dazzling light.

At this moment, Liu Chan's face was calm, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty and determination, as if he could see into people's hearts and control the situation.

He stood on the high platform, looking at the forest of armored soldiers below, his heart filled with endless passion and ambition.

hiss!
Liu Chan took a deep breath, and then gave a passionate speech, his voice so loud that it spread far and wide:

"All officers and men, listen up! This military conference is of great importance. It is not only a test of your martial arts and talents, but also a test for my future northern expedition to the Wei Kingdom! Those who perform well will have the opportunity to enter the military lecture platform, receive higher-level training and tempering, and become the pillars of our Han Dynasty!
The troops with outstanding performance will be awarded military titles, receive improved treatment, and be honored, becoming the vanguard force in our northern expedition against the Wei Kingdom and the restoration of the Han Dynasty!"

At this point, his words were full of passion and anticipation, as if he had already seen the future victory.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers and officers below the stage all blushed and looked extremely excited.

“However, those who perform poorly will also receive due punishment!

They will serve as auxiliary troops and receive more rigorous training and tests until they can prove their worth!
The army of our Han Dynasty must be an iron-blooded army, a heroic army that can overcome all difficulties! "

His voice became louder and louder, and every word seemed to carry endless power and determination, inspiring the soldiers below to move forward bravely.

"Commanders, this military conference is not only a challenge to you, but also an opportunity for you! To be crowned a marquis and become a general, to bring honor to your family, perhaps this is the best opportunity!

Seize it, use your sweat and blood to write your own legend!

If you want to eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, play with beautiful women, and live in the best house, how can you achieve it without working hard? Soldiers, money, food, and rewards are in front of you. I want to see what you have achieved in these days!"

Looking in the direction Liu Chan pointed, there were indeed mountains of money, silk and food piled up under the platform.

The copper coins were stacked neatly, shining with alluring light, like golden fortresses, making people dazzled.

And those cloths are colorful, of excellent texture, soft and smooth, like colorful clouds in the sky or the brocade on the earth, which are dazzling.

As for the food and fodder, they were piled up like mountains, in bundles and bags, emitting bursts of fragrance.

When the soldiers saw this scene, their eyes widened. Many of them might have never seen so much money, so much cloth, and so much food in their entire lives.

Their eyes revealed surprise, envy and desire, as if these properties were the goals they were about to fight for, and were the concrete symbols of their desire and expectation for victory.

When Liu Chan's military mobilization speech ended, thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience.

The soldiers were moved by his passion and determination, and they waved their weapons and shouted:
"Long live your Majesty!"

"The great man is victorious!"

"Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition!"

Seeing that the morale was high, Liu Chan smiled and said, "Let's get started!"

Boom boom boom!
woohoo~
The war drums sounded, and the Jiangdong Military Lecture officially began.

The military parade officially began, with the Han imperial guards and the surrendered Wu troops facing each other in the vast parade ground under the high platform.

The soldiers of both armies were wearing armor and holding weapons, with determination and indomitable spirit in their eyes.

On the military parade ground, dust was flying and the sound of war drums was deafening, as if to shake the entire world.

With an order given, the two armies met and instantly fell into a fierce battle.

The morale of the Han imperial guards was high. They were well-trained and coordinated well. Like an unstoppable torrent, they launched a fierce attack on the surrendered Wu army.

Although the surrendered troops of Wu were also brave and good at fighting, they seemed to be unable to cope with the powerful offensive of the Han imperial guards.

The battle lasted only half an hour before the surrendered Wu troops were dispersed by the Han army.

Their formation was broken and the soldiers fled in all directions. Some were captured by the Han army, while others threw down their weapons and surrendered.

The Han imperial guards took advantage of the victory and pursued the Wu surrendered army and completely defeated it.

On the military parade ground, the dust gradually dissipated, revealing weapons and armor all over the ground.

The sound of war drums gradually died down, leaving only silence and solemnity.

The soldiers of the Han Imperial Guard held their heads high, their eyes revealing the pride and honor of the victors.

The surrendered soldiers of the Wu State were dejected, their eyes filled with the frustration and helplessness of losers.

The gap between the Han army and the Wu army can be imagined.

But then the surrendered soldiers of the Wu army lined up and discussed military affairs with the soldiers from the prefectures and counties of Wu, and in the end the surrendered soldiers of Wu won.

It can be seen that the elite are also selected through competition.

Compared with the Han army, the surrendered Wu army was definitely inferior to the Han army, but compared with the soldiers from the prefectures and counties of Jiangdong, they were far superior.

The military lecture did not end in one day, and after the victory of this group of Wu soldiers, Liu Chan immediately gave them rewards:

"Each of you will be awarded 100 yuan, a piece of cloth, and given the military name Tianxiong. Your army will now be the Tianxiong Army, with a strength of 10,000 soldiers!"

The leading general was Pan Zhang. When he heard this, his face was full of joy.

"Long live your Majesty!"

As soon as he shouted, the soldiers behind him followed suit and shouted: "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

The sound of mountains and seas reached the sky.

Those who have not received the reward are eager to try.

They also want to shout Long live!

Receive rewards and give military titles.

Then they would be integrated into the Han army, and from then on they would no longer be surrendered troops of the Wu State, but the heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty!

Who would be willing to be a surrendered soldier of Wu State when they can be a heavenly soldier of Han State? (End of this chapter)
