Not far from the battlefield.

Liu Han looked gloomy at this moment, holding the flying pigeon letter from Chang'an tightly in his hand, and his body was shaking with anger. "Command: The army shrinks, everyone gathers here."

Dian Wei: "Here."

Liu Han: "Set off three red flares."

Dian Wei: "Lord?"

There are flares of different colors in the army, which are customized to facilitate direct contact with the cavalry regiment. Green flares represent that there is a target to be found. One more flare indicates that there are more targets or the target is of high value, up to three. Yellow flares represent an attack, and more than one indicates that more teams are needed to assist. The red flares represent danger and retreat. As long as you see three red flares rising, it means that no matter what you are doing now, you must immediately put down what you are doing and come to support.

Liu Han: "Isn't it clear enough? Three!"

Dian Wei: "Here."

Dian Wei released three red flares, knowing that what was coming next would definitely be serious.

All the troops on the battlefield saw three red signal flares rising, so the messengers naturally pursued the leading general with all their strength, asking them to immediately go to the location of the signal flares to assemble.

Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and Jia Xu immediately led their troops and rushed over.

"Lord!"

Xu Rong and Jia Xu rushed over first, but Liu Han didn't say anything. After everyone arrived, Liu Han handed them the intelligence from Chang'an.

Everyone was shocked after receiving the information: "What?!!!"

Jia Xu: "This... Lord, is the news reliable?"

Liu Han: "Don't worry, Gu has repeatedly ordered Wang Yue to investigate clearly and hand over the information again."

Everyone was silent. The matter was too serious. Why did those Xiliang people from Chang'an do such stupid things? !

Liu Han: "Emperor...if this is really the case, then these bastards from the Sanfu area will be buried with them!"

The information Wang Yue sent back from Chang'an was just one sentence: "The emperor died and Chang'an was in chaos."

Before Jizhou was completely captured, something big happened in Chang'an. The eldest nephew, the famous Emperor Xian, the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty in original history, passed away!
  When you see "Xian", you will think of the meaning of dedication, and think that this posthumous title means that Liu Xie gave up the country of the Han Dynasty and gave it to others.

Smart and wise, "Xian" means that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was a smart and wise emperor. This is a beautiful posthumous title and is not ironic at all. Concubine Dong E, who was favored by Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, died young and was posthumously given the title of "Queen of Xiaoxian and Duanjing". The word "Xian" was also included in her posthumous title, which also meant praise.

If the emperor really died because of the rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si, then as the emperor's uncle, he would definitely seek justice for him and the Han royal family.

Liu Han is in a mess now. The mess in Jizhou has not been cleaned up yet, and the mess in Chang'an has also become a mess.

"Xi Zhicai was the governor of Jizhou, presiding over post-war reconstruction and restoring local people's livelihood. Xu Rong was the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, commanding the army and preventing invading enemies."

Liu Han looked at Jia Xu and said, "This attack on Jizhou cost [-] troops. Have the casualties been calculated?"

Jia Xu: "Lord, there is no exact number, but the casualties are estimated at [-]."

Liu Han: "In that case, let's calculate it as [-]. One hundred thousand troops will stay in Jizhou, and the remaining [-] will march west to Sili, starting from Hanoi, passing through Hangu Pass, and following Guzhi into Chang'an."

"Here."

"The [-] people left behind are commanded by Xu Rong and assisted by Xu Huang and Zhang He."

"As ordered."

Obviously, if we go west to Chang'an, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei will have to go there.

"There are still [-] troops in reserve in Bingzhou. I ordered Huang Zhong to bring them north. The troops will leave Tianjingguan and enter Hedong. Together with Duan Division, they will attack Chang'an from the flank. We will gather at the foot of Chang'an City."

Orders were issued one after another, and there were messengers flying pigeons to deliver the messages.

"The prefects of various counties in Jizhou have also been appointed, including Bohai Prefect Li Yan, Hejian Prime Minister Huang Xu, Changshan Prefect Qiao Mao, Zhongshan Prefect Zheng Yi, Julu Prefect Liu Zheng, Anping Prefect Ren Jun, Qinghe Prefect Pei Mao, Weijun Prefect Lu Su. Those who should be eliminated must still be eliminated, don’t be soft-hearted."

"Here."

After appointing civil and military officials, the follow-up work for the stability of Jizhou has a framework.

"There is chaos in Chang'an, and a lot of troops have been transferred there. Therefore, Jizhou should not go south anymore. Just control the original territory. Pay attention to Liu Bei in Pingyuan County and Cao Cao in Dongjun."

"Here."

Liu Han's original plan, or ambition, to control the entire north bank of the Yellow River in one battle, now seems impossible. However, the current plan cannot keep up with the changes. Stabilizing Jizhou is the first issue. There will be opportunities in the future.

However, there was still a problem before Liu Han, "You all will go down first, Wen He and Feng Xiao will stay."

"As ordered."

After everyone left, Liu Han said, "Wen He and Feng Xiao, I have something to ask you. What should you do?"

Jia Xu (Guo Jia): "My lord, please speak."

Liu Han: "If it is true that His Majesty died, how should I tell my mother about this?"

"This……"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other. This was indeed a big problem. Liu Han didn't have many relatives. Empress Dowager Dong and the emperor were grandsons, but the Empress Dowager was old. Once she knew her grandson...

Guo Jia: "My lord, I suggest that the news about this matter should be kept secret from the Queen Mother first. After all... wait until the time comes to explain it to the Queen Mother."

Jia Xu: "My lord, this is my suggestion. Although His Majesty has passed away, the Empress Dowager still has a son. We will temporarily block the news and wait for the opportunity."

Liu Han: "Isn't there a better way? Your Majesty's death must be announced to the world. There is no airtight wall in the world. I am worried that if something happens..."

Guo Jia: "I don't think your lord needs to worry too much about this. The Queen Mother is a rare wise and strong person."

Liu Han hesitated and said: "Okay, let's block the news first. Let's go to Chang'an first."

"As ordered!"

  With the help of Cao Chun, Yuan Shao escaped death and ran to Yanzhou. With an army of [-], except for the [-] who were about to enter Yanzhou before, only [-] of the remaining [-] came.

His subordinate Wenwu suffered heavy losses, even his nephew and son died.

Among the civil servants who escaped with him, only Xu You, Feng Ji, and Xun Chen and Chen Lin who had come to Dongjun before were left. Xin Ping and Xin Pi were captured. As for the remaining Cui Yan and Geng Bao, they betrayed themselves.

Among the generals, except for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chunyu Qiong, and Guo Yuan, Li Cheng and others who escaped death, Han Meng's life and death were unknown, Qu Yi was killed, Gao Lan was captured, and the others were either killed or surrendered.

"Ugh!"

Yuan Shao had never felt so powerless, and his efforts were in vain. He felt that he had never won against the King of Hejian.

"Snapped!"

Yuan Shao could only drink to drown his sorrows, but when he saw that it was Sanwanju's wine, Yuan Shao suddenly lost his mood and was so angry that he smashed the wine jar. (End of chapter)
