Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 134 Supervising the battle at the front line, calling the emperor?
"Jia Wenhe?"

After seeing who was coming, Xu You forced a smile and said, "I feel a little unwell. If Wenhe is alright, I will take my leave."

He and Jia Xu were not familiar with each other and had only visited each other's homes twice.

Apart from that, we don't have much interaction on a daily basis, and our relationship is kind of lukewarm.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind chatting with Jia Xu for a while.

But today he really wasn't in the mood.

Seeing Xu You was about to leave, Jia Xu said, "Your residence and mine are not far from each other. In this case, Ziyuan, why don't you get in the car and let me give you a ride."

"…Thank you for your help."

There is nothing wrong with colleagues taking a ride in Jia Xu's carriage.

The carriage moved slowly.

After Xu You got on the carriage, he stared blankly at the curtain, as if he was thinking about something.

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I saw Ziyuan coming out of the official residence, and now he looks uneasy... Did he have another argument with Shen Zhengnan?"

The fact that Xu You's son was arrested and imprisoned by Shen Pei for corruption has now become a hot topic in the city.

Seeing Jia Xu mention this, Xu You's face suddenly showed hatred, and he cursed loudly: "My son did not embezzle, but was framed by Shen Pei, and even tortured into signing a confession!"

"Everyone says that Shen Pei is upright and upright, and has the spirit of Gu Lie. In my opinion, he is just a treacherous villain!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu cooperated very well and was "shocked". "I believe Ziyuan is a man of integrity. He must have a strict family tradition and would never allow you to embezzle food and money. Is there a misunderstanding?"

"Shen Zhengnan is a stubborn person. If there is really a misunderstanding, Ziyuan might as well write a letter to the general. The general will definitely make a fair judgment, find out the truth, and clear your son's name.
Besides, even if you really embezzled the food and money, given your friendship with the general, I think the general will not make things difficult for you. Why do you have to be so sad, Ziyuan?"

Every word Jia Xu said hit Xu You straight in the heart.

This made him feel resentful towards Yuan Shao.

Yes, let alone that his son did not embezzle money, even if he did, after decades of friendship, you refused to even reply to a letter?
Looking at Xu You's expression which was sometimes resentful, sometimes angry, and sometimes disappointed, Jia Xu's mouth corners hidden under the feather fan slightly raised.

The seeds of hatred have been planted.

He will pick the fruits only when they take root and sprout.

……

Three days passed by in a hurry.

Xu You's son was eventually beheaded in public on the charge of embezzling grain and money, and Xu You's wife was also beheaded as an accomplice.

After burying the bodies of his wife and children, Xu You stayed at home, drinking all day long, refusing to see anyone and even ignoring logistics.

It was not until Yuan Shao sent him a letter rebuking him that he resumed his post.

During this period, Zhen Mi, who had been away for a long time, finally returned to Yecheng.

"My beloved concubine!" Liu Xie embraced Zhen Mi in his arms, "You are finally back. I have been missing you so much that I have lost my appetite!"

"Your Majesty, there are servants here..."

Zhen Mi's pretty face flushed and she spoke in a low voice.

She had never seen such a straightforward and passionate way of expressing love before. Although she felt embarrassed, she felt more happy and sweet in her heart.

It turned out that His Majesty missed her so much that he lost his appetite.

"So what?"

Liu Xie looked completely nonchalant, and looked at Zhen Mi lovingly, "I wish the whole world would know how much I miss you!"

He knew how to please women and show off his love in public, especially when it came from the emperor. No woman could resist.

The maids who were waiting on the side also understood the situation. Seeing His Majesty and the noble lady expressing their affection to each other, they dared not stay where they were and left one by one.

Zhen Mi's heart was already trembling at this moment, and the tenderness and love in her eyes were almost overflowing.

What a blessing it is to be so favored by the emperor.

"You've lost a lot of weight this time."

Liu Xie stroked Zhen Mi's cheek. Zhen Mi originally had a little bit of baby fat, and the jade-like feel of her cheek made him very happy to pinch it.

Her face has now become completely oval, and all the plumpness she had gained after entering the palace has disappeared.

Zhen Mi rubbed Liu Xie's hand and said, "It's just a minor illness. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Your Majesty, guess what good news I have brought to you?"

Zhen Mi's eyebrows were curved, and she was actually keeping the secret.

When Liu Xie heard Zhen Mi say the words "good news", he was immediately overjoyed.

It must be that Zhen has made up her mind to serve him.

But how could he guess?

He forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart and continued to play the role of the affectionate emperor.

Holding Zhen Mi, he rubbed his face against hers gently.

"I don't guess. For me, your safe return is the best news."

Zhen Mi is essentially a love-brained girl, and she simply cannot resist this.

Hearing Liu Xie say this, the joy in my heart was simply beyond words.

With a blushing face, she said, "Your Majesty, the Zhen family has decided to secretly support Your Majesty. This is the letter from my mother to Your Majesty."

Zhen Mi said this as she took out a letter from her bosom.

This letter was too important, so she kept it close to her along the way to prevent it from being lost or dropped, which would cause unnecessary trouble to her family and Liu Xie.

"Oh? Let me see."

Liu Xie took the letter, which still carried the warmth and fragrance of Zhen Mi's body, unfolded it and read it carefully.

There was nothing unusual in the content of the letter.

The general meaning is that the Zhen family is extremely grateful for the emperor's favor and is willing to use the strength of the entire family to assist the emperor in supporting the Han Dynasty.

Then there were some secret ways of contacting the Zhen family and so on.

At the end of the letter, there were several names with handprints, all of whom were powerful figures in the Zhen family.

It has a bit of the flavor of a pledge of allegiance.

However, Liu Xie did not believe a word of this. Whether Zhen would fully support him depended on the potential he would show in the future.

If he were still trapped in shallow water and unable to escape from Yuan Shao's clutches, Zhen would see no hope and would naturally abandon him.

"I wonder if Zhen is planning to put her eggs in two baskets, or has decided to go all out on me and take a big chance..." Liu Xie pondered in his heart after reading the letter.

Liu Xie restrained his thoughts, kissed Zhen Mi's lips, and said: "My beloved concubine is really my wise wife!"

"With the secret assistance of the Zhen family, I will be able to accumulate strength faster, thus getting rid of Yuan Shao's hold and regaining power!"

The support of the Zhen family was a very important part of his, Guo Jia and Jia Xu's plan.

If this link was missing, the time and difficulty for him to accumulate strength to escape Yuan Shao's hold would increase exponentially.

When Zhen Mi heard Liu Xie describe her as a good wife, she felt so sweet in her heart.

A good wife and a helpful wife, this is a word used to describe a wife!

"It is my honor and duty to help Your Majesty. My mother is also very angry about Yuan Shao's holding Your Majesty hostage, and she also wants to help Your Majesty escape from this predicament as soon as possible and revive the Han Dynasty."

Zhen Mi was not a naive person, she even knew to slightly beautify her mother Zhang.

"My beloved concubine!" Liu Xie held Zhen Mi's hand and said affectionately and firmly: "When I regain control of the country and unify the world, and when all nations come to pay tribute, I will never forget my promise to you."

"The Zhen family will definitely surpass the Yuan family and become the most powerful family in the world!"

Liu Xie can now paint big pictures with ease.

Now that he has regained control of the throne, he has quietly added two subtle preconditions.

Unify the world and all nations will come to pay tribute.

Zhen Mi had no doubts and leaned in Liu Xie's arms with a sweet look on her face.

After the two of them spent some time together, Liu Xie told Zhen Mi to have a good rest and left Qingli Palace.

After returning to Xuanshi, he immediately asked Zhang He to invite Guo Jia and Jia Xu into the palace.

After Zhen Mi surrendered, some plans had to be put on the agenda, which also gave Guo Jia and the others some confidence and boosted their morale.

As soon as Zhang He left, he saw Guo Jia jogging towards him.

"Fengxiao, why are you here alone? Where is Wenhe?" Liu Xie asked in confusion when he couldn't see Jia Xu.

"His Majesty!"

Guo Jia was addicted to alcohol and women, and was a big jerk. He was exhausted after running a few steps. He panted and said anxiously:

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"What happened?"

Liu Xie's heart trembled. He rarely saw such panic on Guo Jia's face.

Guo Jia calmed down and said in a deep voice, "News came from the front lines of You and Ji that Yuan Shao has been unable to capture the city after a long siege. After listening to Ju Su's advice, we decided to invite Your Majesty to the front lines to supervise the battle!"

"What!" Liu Xie was shocked and couldn't believe it. "Let me go to the front line in person?"

Liu Xie really wondered if Yuan Shao and Ju Shou were crazy enough to let the emperor go to the front line to supervise the battle in person?
Don’t you just treat the fake emperor as the emperor?

The battlefield is full of dangers and no one knows what accidents may happen.

If you are accidentally shot to death by a stray arrow, that would be a real hassle, and you, Yuan Shao, would be finished. I can't say that the whole world will attack you, but it's almost the same.

To take a step back, even if Yuan Shao was not worried that he would die on the battlefield, wasn't he afraid that he would be kidnapped by Gongsun Zan?
There have been many cases of kidnapping on battlefields in history.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "What do Yuan Shao and Ju Shou think?"

Guo Jia said with a serious expression: "The war in Youzhou is tense. Gongsun Zan's resistance is extremely tenacious. Yuan Shao will not be able to defeat him in a short time."

"Plus, winter is approaching. If this battle fails, we will have to wait until the beginning of next spring. But now Yuan Shao just wants to take Youzhou as soon as possible so that he can free up his hands to attack Cao Cao."

"This time, Ju Su suggested that Your Majesty go to the front line to supervise the battle. Firstly, it is to boost the morale of our army, and secondly, it is to make Gongsun Zan afraid to act rashly! We hope to use this opportunity to capture Youzhou in one fell swoop."

Guo Jia was very angry at the actions of Yuan Shao and Ju Shou. In order to defeat Gongsun Zan as soon as possible, he even put the emperor in danger!
Even Dong Zhuo wouldn't dare to act like this!
After hearing this, Liu Xie felt the word "danger" appear above his head.

After cursing Yuan Shao and Ju Su in his heart, he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, what should I do now? Is there any way to avoid going to the front line?"

Guo Jia shook his head gently and sighed, "Yuan Shao has made up his mind. It's useless for Your Majesty to pretend to be sick... Based on the current situation in Youzhou, Your Majesty may have to go."

Although even if Liu Xie went to the front line, Yuan Shao would definitely protect him very well and would not let him be in any danger.

But Guo Jia still couldn't help worrying.

After all, there are always some “what ifs” in the world.

If something really went wrong with Liu Xie on the battlefield, their plans, their forbearance, and their grand ambitions would all be in vain.

"When will we leave?"

"We will set out tomorrow. Chun Yuqiong will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort Your Majesty to the Youzhou battlefield."

Five thousand people escorting one person, and on his own territory, Yuan Shao was considered to be very cautious.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

Liu Xie frowned when he heard this. Yuan Shao really didn't treat him as a human being. As soon as the news came, he had to set off immediately without showing any mercy.

This is the helplessness of being controlled by others.

In addition, he also felt that the scene of two armies fighting and the emperor personally going to the front line to prevent the enemy from acting rashly was a little familiar.

"Wait... Yuan Shao wouldn't want me to be the door-knocking emperor, right?"

Liu Xie suddenly remembered the deeds of a certain Ming Dynasty war god, and felt a chill in his heart.

If that were the case, he would lose face as the emperor and would inevitably be criticized in the future.

"Why can't I see Wen He? Does he know about this?"

Guo Jia replied: "Wenhe went to visit Xu You today. The news was just passed to the Shen Pei Office. I learned about it from the official residence at the first time. I'm afraid Wenhe is still unaware of it."

Guo Jia was chatting with Jia Xu yesterday. Now Xu You is very disappointed with Yuan Shao and even has resentment towards him. It is a good time to get closer to him.

Liu Xie felt that he still had to ask Jia Xu for his opinion, and said, "Let Wenhe come to the palace later. In addition, Concubine Zhen has returned to the palace and brought a reply from Zhen. Zhen is willing to help me in secret with all her strength."

This news finally eased Guo Jia's expression a little, but now the emperor has to go to the front line, which is the current major issue.

"The most important thing right now is that Your Majesty personally go to the front line to supervise the battle. I will go find Wenhe and enter the palace to discuss matters with Your Majesty in the evening."

After Guo Jia resigned, Liu Xie became more depressed, and all the joy he had felt about Zhen's joining him disappeared completely.

"Yuan Benchu, you dare to let me go to the battlefield today. I don't know what outrageous things you can do tomorrow!"

"A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?"

"Jizhou... at least Yecheng, must be under my control!"
