Liu Fuquan was affectionate at first, hoping to get closer to Ye Qingxuan. After Ye Qingxuan became estranged, Liu Fuquan directly expressed his hope that Ye Qingxuan would stay by his side to serve him, but he was rejected.
Being rejected again and again, Liu Fuquan could not stand it anymore.
Even a clay figure has a certain amount of anger.
What's more, he is already the emperor of a country. He thinks that he has broken away from the previous class and is already at the top. He is the emperor who sheds blood in anger and is a man of his word. It is even more difficult to accept Ye Qingxuan's attitude.
Liu Fuquan leaned forward slightly and said in a deep voice: "Qingxuan, I have liked you for a long time."
Ye Qingxuan said lightly: "Thanks to the great love of Emperor Xia, Qingxuan accepts it with heart. After the death of my eldest brother and the loss of my family, I have long been discouraged and no longer talk about love. What I want now is to live in seclusion with my sister-in-law and children and live in seclusion." Live a life free from the world."
Liu Fuquan said: "You are too pessimistic."
At this point, Liu Fuquan said: "You just don't have children. If you have children, your temperament will naturally be different."
Ye Qingxuan laughed and didn't answer.
child?
If you want to have a child, you have to have a child with Zhao Shan. How can you have a life like Liu Fuquan?
An idiot's dream?
opinionated.
Ye Qingxuan's disgust grew in her heart, but she didn't show it at all.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan not answering, Liu Fuquan lost his patience and said in a deep voice, "What if I want to forcefully marry you?"
A determined look flashed across Ye Qingxuan's eyes, and he said firmly: "Emperor Xia wants to forcefully marry me, which is to marry a dead body. Emperor Xia is the head of a country, does he also have such a hobby?"
In a word, sharp edge.
Even more so.
The atmosphere just now completely dissipated, and Liu Fuquan no longer had any warmth. He stared at Ye Qingxuan and gritted his teeth and said, "After all, even if Zhao Shan forces himself to sleep with you, you will still miss Zhao Shan."
"You still think about him."
"You have found various excuses, saying that you live in seclusion and live aloof from the world, just to look down on me, Liu Fuquan."
"right?"
Liu Fuquan's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was slightly hysterical.
Ye Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged, neither humble nor arrogant. "Whether or not I miss Zhao Shan is my own private matter. I don't bother Emperor Xia to care about it. At least I, Ye Qingxuan, am not a frivolous woman."
Faced with Liu Fuquan's strength, Ye Qingxuan refused to give in.
If it weren't for seeing her brother's son, she would have stayed in the harem and spent the rest of her life like this.
It's not bad to stay in the harem and live a pure life of your own.
In fact, Liu Fuquan sent someone to contact Ye Qingxuan. At first, he only said that Zhao Yong's posthumous son was in Yanzhou, and Ye Qingxuan was willing to come out. Ye Qingxuan's plan was to live in seclusion with Zhao Yong's posthumous son since he could disappear quietly.
Unexpectedly, on the way here, I found out that Liu Fu was from one of the separatist factions.
This was something Ye Qingxuan didn't expect.
She will take it one step at a time. No matter what, she will not let herself down or just get along with a man when she meets him.
Taking a step towards indulgence is easy.
However, after taking this step of indulgence, there is no way back.
Liu Fuquan looked at Ye Qingxuan for a long time, and he had a strong plan in mind. As long as he used force, Ye Qingxuan would not be able to stop him. He looked at Ye Qingxuan, who was determined, but stopped thinking about it.
Liu Fuquan was silent for a long time and then said: "Ye Qingxuan, I will prove to you that Daxia will never be weaker than Zhao Shan's Dagan. I have integrated the power of Yanzhou and will start to expand this year, and I will definitely destroy Zhao Shan. When the time comes, I will kill Zhao Shan in front of you and let you watch his destruction with your own eyes."
Ye Qingxuan said: "It's up to you!"
Liu Fuquan flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Come here, take Ye Qingxuan down to rest."
The soldiers entered and took Ye Qingxuan down.
Zhao Yong's posthumous son also left.
Liu Fuquan looked at Ye Qingxuan's leaving back and felt angry in his heart. He turned around and went to the harem, where he thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of the collision before returning to the main hall.
Liu Fuquan thought about it quietly and said, "Come, please inform Liu Xiong, Huo Dan and Yuan Jing to discuss the matter."
Liu Xiong was once one of the thieves in Yanzhou, with outstanding martial arts skills. Due to the mutual attacks between thieves and bandits, Liu Xiong was betrayed again and was once in dire straits. It was Liu Fuquan who rescued Liu Xiong.
From then on, Liu Xiong followed Liu Fuquan wholeheartedly.
The two are still from the same family, and with this relationship, Liu Xiong is extremely loyal to Liu Fuquan.
Liu Xiong is the general and controls the army.
Huo Dan was the official minister of Daxia, responsible for civil servants and government affairs. He is not from Yanzhou, but someone who escaped from Youzhou with Liu Fuquan. He is good at handling government affairs and is Liu Fuquan's big housekeeper.
Yuan Jing is Liu Fuquan's intelligence chief. He has many people from all walks of life and has mastered a lot of information.
Yuan Jing is also responsible for arranging some special tasks.
Liu Fuquan looked around at the crowd and said: "We have stabilized Yanzhou. According to my judgment, Zhao Shan has solved Yangzhou and will definitely attack us after the spring."
"War is coming."
"For us, this is a danger but also an opportunity."
"The princes from all over the world have been defeated by Zhao Shan. The same is true for the surrounding neighboring countries. Zhao Shan now has a great reputation. Once we defeat Zhao Shan, our reputation will be completely established."
"In order to win this battle, we must prepare early and even take the initiative."
Liu Fuquan was full of fighting spirit and said, "What suggestions do you have for starting a war with Zhao Shan?"
Liu Xiong clasped his fists with his hands, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have long wanted to have a chance encounter with Da Gan."
"The reason why Zhao Shan was able to achieve certain results was not because Zhao Shan was so powerful, but because there were no heroes at all times, which made Zhuzi famous."
"We have risen in Yanzhou, and it's time to fight Zhao Shan. Defeat Zhao Shan and let Zhao Shan see how powerful we are."
Liu Xiong flicked his sleeve and said, "My sword has been thirsty for a long time."
"When you lead the troops."
Liu Fuquan answered with a smile, then looked at Huo Dan and asked, "Huo Shangshu, what do you think?"
Huo Dan looked calm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Your Majesty, I agree to go to war. Your Majesty has spent several years solving Yanzhou's internal problems in one fell swoop. Once he becomes emperor, it's time to show off his talents."
"With the support of all the families in Yanzhou, we have enough food and grass, and with the rest and recuperation this year, it is enough to support the long-term war with Zhao Shan."
"It's just that I advise you not to fight alone."
"Actually, if Zhao Shanlai attacks, if we lose, Qin Feihu in Yuzhou, Kong Shentong in Qingzhou, and Zhao Yue in Xuzhou will also face crisis."
"We can block Zhao Shan's military front. Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are connected as one, and each can enjoy a stable life."
"If we are destroyed, Zhao Shan goes deep into the hinterland and can destroy us one by one."
Huo Dan said: "I suggest that we arrange for envoys to be sent to all parties and ask Qin Feihu, Kong Shentong and Zhao Yue to send troops to help."
Liu Xiong looked solemn and said: "I have no objection to Huo Shangshu's suggestion. After all, Huo Shangshu is very resourceful. I am worried about whether these people's troops will have other thoughts when they come. For example, if they enter our Yanzhou, will they do anything to us?" Take action?"
Liu Fuquan smiled and said: "This is impossible. If we have internal strife and can only take advantage of Zhao Shan, we will be asking for death."
Liu Xiong nodded and said: "I have no objection to the alliance."
Liu Fuquan's eyes fell on Yuan Jing and ordered: "Yuan Jing, arrange for people to contact all parties and try to get Qin Feihu, Kong Shentong and Zhao Yue to send troops to join the war."
Yuan Jing said respectfully: "I accept your order!"
Liu Fuquan discussed the matter of sending troops to prepare for war, and arranged all the matters before letting Liu Xiong and others withdraw.
He thought of Ye Qingxuan again.
What you can’t get is always in turmoil.
As long as it is not obtained, there will always be a layer of hazy beauty. It is precisely this that Liu Fuquan always thinks about.
Liu Fuquan was not angry at all, and secretly made up his mind to let Ye Qingxuan know that Zhao Shan was nothing more than this in front of Ye Qingxuan.
He wants to defeat Zhao Shan.
After Liu Fuquan prepared for the war, time passed quickly, from the cold spring in early spring to March in late spring.
In Luoyang in March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.
The local people are busy with spring plowing and sowing.
All areas under Zhao Shan's rule are busy with spring plowing, and the areas under the imperial court's rule are becoming increasingly stable. As goods from Yangzhou can be transported smoothly to Luoyang, the line from the Western Regions to Luoyang in Guanzhong, and then from Luoyang to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is completely opened.
The smooth flow of business roads made the place more prosperous.
Commerce and agriculture took off simultaneously.
The territory controlled by the imperial court was large, and because it had to vigorously alleviate the poor and provide relief to the people, it consumed a lot of money. Fortunately, with the current government finances, it can be maintained, and it is not too difficult to attack Lao Yanzhou.
Zhao Shan arranged everything in the rear and took Fang Weihu with him to go on the expedition.
The accompanying troops include Li Buyi's 30,000 Shence Army, Zhou Huhou's Xuanjia Army, and Li Jiye's Modao Camp.
Jiang Yuhuang and Wei Fengqing both followed.
The two women are both military heroines and do not want to stay in the palace, so they are now accompanying them.
Zhao Shan led the army and set off in a mighty manner, all the way to Xingyang in the east.
When Zhao Shan arrived in Xingyang and the army took a break, Fang Weihu came to Zhao Shan and reported: "Your Majesty, General Yue Feipeng, who is stationed in Jizhou, has written a letter, hoping to participate in the war. He said that he has been unable to participate in the war several times. , I must participate in the war this time."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Tell him that I allow him to move freely and adapt to changes."
"As you command!"
After Fang Weihu agreed, he said with a smile: "I'm afraid General Yue is in his heart."
Zhao Shan said: "Let's fight our own. How Yue Feipeng wants to fight depends on him. Yue Feipeng is a wise general with both wisdom and courage. We don't need to restrain him. He may give us a big surprise."
Fang Weihu said: "Your Majesty is right."
Zhao Shan asked: "At the end of last year, you arranged to spread the news in Yanzhou that you were going to attack Yanzhou. What was the effect?"
"With little success!"
Fang Weihu shook his head and explained: "Most of the wealthy families in Yanzhou are leaning towards Liu Fuquan, believing that Liu Fuquan can achieve success. It is precisely because of this that the situation in Yanzhou was not shaken by the news."
A flash of light flashed across Zhao Shan's eyes, and he said: "Fighting with others is endless fun. It's a good thing that Liu Fuquan is capable, otherwise, wouldn't it be meaningless?"
"Report!"
Just at this time, another sentry came on horseback and reported: "Your Majesty, the latest news has come back from the front line. The puppet emperor Liu Fuquan, with his army, took the initiative to fight out of Yanzhou and directly entered Zhongmu County on the border."
Zhao Shan asked: "How many soldiers and horses does Liu Fuquan have?"
The sentinel reported: "Your Majesty, Liu Fuquan has approximately 60,000 elite troops."
Zhao Shan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Sixty thousand elite soldiers are quite a lot. Continue to inquire for information and report at any time."
"As you command!"
The sentry got the order, turned around and left.
Fang Weihu took over and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Fuquan's reaction speed is so fast. We sent troops to Xingyang only, but he also chose to send troops and made plans to attack almost at the same time as us."
Zhao Shan was full of fighting spirit and said with a smile: "When I conquered various places, everyone I met took the initiative to defend. It is rare for people to take the initiative to fight. Liu Fuquan was the first person to take the initiative to fight."
"It's interesting!"
"I hope Liu Fuquan will not disappoint me."
"Come here, bring me the map near Zhongmu County. I want to study it."
Zhao Shan didn't feel any panic.
After many years of fighting, he had already gained full confidence and was not afraid of Liu Fuquan's attack.
No matter how powerful Liu Fuquan was, if the two armies fought, Zhao Shan was confident that he could defeat the opponent.
This is Zhao Shan's confidence.
The soldiers brought the map and spread it on the ground. Zhao Shan got off his horse, squatted on the ground and looked at the map of Zhongmu County, and said solemnly: "We strategically despise Liu Fuquan, but we cannot despise the other party."
"There must be preparations that need to be made, and analysis that needs to be done."
"When a lion fights a rabbit, you need to go all out."
"How do you think Liu Fuquan will start the war if he chooses Zhongmu County as his first choice?"
Zhao Shan asked his question.
This is a deduction that must be done before the war in order to calmly deal with various possible situations.
Fang Weihu and Yan Zhuo both stood beside Zhao Shan.
The two stared at the map carefully.
Fang Weihu took the lead and said: "Liu Fuquan is coming to Zhongmu County, and he will attack Zhongmu County first. I remember that the magistrate of Zhongmu County is named Ling Chen, and he is a talent selected by the Prime Minister. This person is in Zhongmu County, and he should not be attacked in a short time. Break through.”
Zhao Shan was thoughtful and asked: "So what is your strategy?"
Fang Weihu said: "Arrange an elite force to bypass Zhongmu County and go straight to Liu Fuquan's rear, cutting off his retreat and supplies. In this way, Liu Fuquan will definitely be defeated."
Zhao Shan understood.
The premise of the plan is that Ling Chen can defend Zhongmu County.
If Zhongmu County is lost and Liu Fuquan enters the county, with sufficient supplies and a solid city, it will be difficult to implement Fang Weihu's plan.
Zhao Shan did not express his position immediately, but looked at Yan Zhuo and said, "Yan Zhuo, what do you think?"
Yan Zhuo spoke concisely and concisely: "Your Majesty, Liu Fu is not a reckless man. Will he predict our actions?"
With one sentence, Fang Weihu instantly raised his head and glanced at Yan Zhuo in surprise.
Yan Zhuo talks very little.
Fang Weihu and Yan Zhuo didn't talk much.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhuo hit the key point as soon as he opened his mouth. If Liu Fu were just ordinary thieves, that would be fine. However, Liu Fuquan was born as a counselor, and he was able to overwhelm the entire Yanzhou bandits. His skills, skills, and mind were not bad.
Such people will definitely have predictions.
Fang Weihu said: "Your Majesty, Yan Zhuo's analysis is very likely, we need to make more preparations. It cannot be that Liu Fuquan has predicted our prediction, and we have to predict Liu Fuquan's prediction."
Zhao Shan smiled slightly and said, "That's what it means, so there must be a plan."
Yan Zhuo said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to build a temple."
Zhao Shan looked expectantly and asked with a smile: "What did Yan Qing think about it?"
