Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 440: The drums of war sound! Liu Xie reviews the troops! Swears to go to war!
Faced with the opportunity to attack the enemy, Liu Xie would never let it slip away. He now wanted to use all means to weaken Cao Cao's strength before the war.

The hearts of the people are naturally also an object that needs to be fought for.

It has been said since ancient times that whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world. This sentence may sound a bit empty, but it is actually a simple and straightforward statement.

Whoever the people support will be able to maintain his power.

This is an eternal truth.

As Liu Xie's order was passed down, the court quickly took action. First of all, the group of people who had fled were all properly resettled.

Secondly, this time the people's riot and rebellion spread rapidly under the secret promotion of the court.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into the water, instantly creating huge waves.

"The false emperor is so cruel!"

"How dare a mere false emperor be so rampant! When the royal army marches south, this false emperor will die!"

"How dare such an immoral person pretend to be the emperor?"

"Cao is also a despicable villain. He aided and abetted Zhou's evil deeds. He is truly a traitor!"

"I hope that Your Majesty can destroy the false emperor as soon as possible and unify the world, so that all the people of the Han Dynasty can be bathed in the holy virtue."

……

Apart from ordinary people, those who were forcibly relocated reacted the most to the news.

"Oh, I hate that I was not born in the North, so I wouldn't have to suffer this."

"I want to go north! I want to seek refuge with the imperial court!"

"Why don't we rebel too and escape to Guanzhong together!"

"Reverse! Reverse!"

"Let's wait a little longer. It won't be long before the imperial army arrives and we'll be saved!"

"I just can't stand it any longer."

……

People everywhere were excited.

Even some people who were being relocated started riots after hearing the news, trying to take the opportunity to escape to the north, but they basically failed.

After all, there was a precedent of rebellion by the people of Xinye, so Cao Cao specifically ordered to strengthen the supervision of the migrating people to prevent rebellion from happening again.

But having said that, the negative impact caused by this incident could not be suppressed, and the people from all over the country became more and more resentful of the false emperor and Cao Cao.

……

Jingzhou, Changsha.

"A bunch of unruly people! A bunch of unruly people!"

Cao Cao threw the information in his hand to the ground, his face turned ashen and his eyes were filled with rage.

Ever since the people of Xinye rebelled, people from all over the country have become resistant to migrating south, and riots have become more frequent.

This is very bad news for him.

"Sikong, please calm down..."

Xun You, Kuai Liang and others on the side began to persuade them.

However, Cao Cao was still furious and said angrily: "How can I calm down in this situation?!"

"Now people all over the world are criticizing me. If I continue like this, I will have already lost half the battle before it even starts!"

Although the migration plan has its drawbacks, the impact should not have been so great. However, this time the people's rebellion and riot directly triggered this conflict!

Now the situation is in chaos, making him feel more stressed.

"Sikong, now that things have come to this, we can only carry out the migration to the end. If we give up halfway, everything we have done before will be in vain."

Xun You sighed and said.

The migration plan has been carried out for more than half, and it cannot be terminated now under any circumstances.

Cao Cao looked grim and uncertain.

He knew very well what Xun You said. At this point he had no choice but to make it. Even if he stopped evacuating the people, he would not have a good reputation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said with a tired face: "Speed ​​up, we can't delay any longer, we don't have time anymore."

"How is the war going in Yizhou?"

Two months ago, he sent a large army to attack Yizhou. At the beginning, it was relatively smooth and he captured Ba County along the way. However, the further north he went, the more difficult it became.

It was even more impossible to get in when we got to the sword land.

Now that two months have passed, the war in Yizhou is still progressing slowly. If this granary cannot be successfully captured, it will be very unfavorable to the overall war situation.

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Yizhou has a very dangerous terrain, with rugged mountain roads. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not easy to capture Yizhou in a short period of time. If we attack by force, the casualties will be too great."

“This is already a fast progress now.”

Hearing this, Cao Cao flew into a rage and slammed the table, saying, "Send an urgent message to Cao Hong eight hundred miles away! I don't want his casualties, I just want Yizhou!"

"If he wants soldiers, I will give them to him. I will only give him two months. If he fails to take Yizhou, I will make him present his head to me!"

"Liu Bei was able to seize Yizhou from Liu Zhang, so why can't I take Yizhou away from him as well?!"

The current situation is bad, and he needs to take Yizhou to open up the situation.

The situation will improve as long as Yizhou is taken.

Therefore, he must obtain Yizhou!
Xun Yu wanted to say something but stopped himself after seeing Cao Cao's furious look. In the end, he said nothing and nodded in agreement.

...After deciding on the candidates for the expedition, we are now just waiting for the oath-taking ceremony and then we will officially set out.

Ten days passed quickly.

The oath-taking ceremony was held on time, but unfortunately the weather was not good. On the day when the army swore to go to war, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The sky was overcast.

In the suburbs outside Chang'an City, the military parade platform had already been built. Not only military generals but also civil officials in the court participated in the parade today.

Because this oath-taking ceremony is more than just a simple oath-taking ceremony.

This was a crucial battle in the southward expedition against the false emperor, and the emperor had to lead the troops in person, which was of great significance. Therefore, all civil and military officials participated in the oath-taking ceremony, without a single person absent.

It was drizzling, and although we couldn't see the sight of iron armor wrapped in yellow sand, when we looked up we could see the rain hitting the dragon flags, the eerie armor, and the silent and murderous scene.

A full 100,000 Han troops were divided into two giant battle formations in the east-west direction, leaving a path in the middle, as if it was split in half by a sword from a celestial being.

There were endless warships on the Wei River, and each warship was filled with soldiers.

Guo Jia looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "My great Han army is truly unparalleled in the world, and it is extremely spectacular."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Everyone says that the Liangzhou cavalry is the most powerful in the world, but I think the Han army is much more powerful than the Liangzhou cavalry."

The 160,000-strong Han army, although less than half of the mighty force during Emperor Wu's reign, still gives us a glimpse of how powerful the Han army was at its peak.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't feel its power.

"Your Majesty, it is not easy to build a powerful country from nothing to eradicate all kinds of traitors and take power in just a few years."

"It's a pity that I can't go with your majesty."

Fa Zheng also sighed, his tone full of regret.

Although he applied to go with the army, the emperor later considered that it would be too much for Jia Xu to stay in Chang'an alone to manage the logistics, so he decided to let him stay.

Seeing Fa Zheng stroking the sword at his waist, Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh and said, "If His Majesty permits, I'm afraid you will really have to go with the army. Do you really want to go to the battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, Fa Zheng's face straightened. He looked up at the tens of thousands of soldiers standing in the rain and said in a deep voice, "If your Majesty nods, I will definitely go to the battlefield. The worst that can happen is that my name, Fa Xiaozhi, will be added to the tombstone in the Han Martyrs Cemetery."

"Scholars of my generation seek fame in times of peace and prosperity, and in times of chaos we should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country for world peace. This is my lifelong ambition!"

As these bold words were spoken, a sneer came from the side.

And the one who was laughing was Gao Lan.

Gao Lan glanced at Fa Zheng and said, "That sounds good, but I'm afraid you scholars are just talking about it on paper. Once you're actually on the battlefield, you'll become cowards."

The civil and military officials looked down on each other, and Gao Lan was even less fond of the civil officials.

There were only a few civil officials and counselors who caught his eye, such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, etc. Fa Zheng, who had just arrived, was not qualified enough.

After hearing Gao Lan's very unpleasant words, Fa Zheng was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Gao Shaoqing has a point. But there is an old saying that goes, you can tell whether it is a mule or a horse by taking it out for a walk."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely fight alongside Gao Shaoqing. Then Shaoqing will see if I am just talking on paper."

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Fa Zheng's attitude was so good that Gao Lan couldn't help but change his opinion of him. He glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

The rain was falling lightly, and it was getting heavier.

Chang'an hasn't seen any rain for a long time. Once the rain starts to get heavy, it will be impossible to stop. It is destined to be a non-stop downpour.

Everyone is waiting for the emperor to come.

There was nothing on the school martial arts stage except for a huge war drum. The rain hit the drum and splashed water.

The war drums had not yet been beaten, and the horn that was most familiar to the Han soldiers had not yet been blown.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally came out from the school's side.

It's Lu Bu!

Lu Bu was wearing full armor today, looking mighty and majestic. He stepped onto the martial arts stage holding a Fang Tian Huaji and stood in silence.

Then Zhang Liao and Zhang He walked up to the martial arts platform, one on the left and one on the right, at the same time and stood beside Lu Bu, their expressions also full of solemnity.

Then came Yuan Xi, Gao Lan, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Pang De and so on, including Zhou Yu.

On the school martial arts stage, the stars are shining!
When all the generals stepped onto the martial arts training platform, a melodious and sad horn sounded throughout the world. At the same time, Zhang He turned and walked towards the war drum that was half a person's height.

Start beating the drums!
I saw a hint of white appearing among the black armor.

It was the three thousand Yulin cavalry!

Today, Liu Xie, who was not wearing the emperor's crown but a military uniform, was escorted to the martial arts school platform by three thousand Yulin cavalry.

The rain was getting heavier.

However, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Xie, and even the downpour could not extinguish the heat in their eyes!

Their emperor is here!

Liu Xie rode his horse to the martial arts arena, and the three thousand Yulin cavalry behind him stopped and moved back, just filling up the empty line in the center of the army.

Under the gaze of countless soldiers, Liu Xie slowly stepped onto the martial arts arena, put the emperor's sword on his waist, turned around and looked behind him.

The rain slid down the chin of the young king, but he didn't care about the royal etiquette at all and placed the Emperor's sword heavily on the ground.

"boom--!"

At this moment, many generals bowed their heads.

One hundred thousand soldiers knelt on one knee!

The clanging sound of iron armor accompanied by the heart-stirring sound of war drums penetrated the rain curtain and resounded throughout the world!
Liu Xie was the only one standing in the entire venue.

Like a god!
