Yuan Shao's troops were able to avoid Taishi Ci's naval army, which was also the result of the Taishi Ci's fleet being watched on the shore. After all, when Taishi Ci blocked Yan Liang's army, the momentum caused was quite large. n∈n∈,

During that battle, the large ship fleet led by Taishi Ci achieved the result of catching up with Yan Liang's ship and causing him to be seriously injured. If Yan Liang's subordinates had not responded in time and pulled him to the shore in a hurry, Yan Liang's ending would not have been very good.

Since then, the movements of the Taishici Water Fleet have been noticed by Yuan Shao's troops, and there are even special sentries to pay attention to the Taishici fleet on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Although the Yellow River magnifies the width of Baidu and greatly affects its observation, in the mountainous areas of Qingzhou, there are always some sections of the Yellow River that are relatively narrow, and the movements of the Taishi Ci naval army can be found at a high point on the north bank.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao's troops were able to avoid Taishi Ci's naval army crossing the river.

"Hou Wen, what do you have to say?"

In Changle Palace, Chang'an City Imperial Palace, Liu Xie pointed to the two pots of porridge in front of him and asked in a deep voice to someone in front of him.

This person is Hou Wen, the Censor mentioned by Liu Xie. Although he is a considerable official in terms of official positions, he is just an unknown little person.

Behind him were actually General Li Jue, the Cavalry General, and the Later General Guo Si, but at this time, both of them had no time to take care of Hou Wen and could not take care of Hou Wen.

The cause of the incident starts with the drought that has never been improved. Due to the severe drought of Sanfu, the price of grain has increased and the price of grain has soared. Even an incident of people being eaten in Chang'an City, the young emperor Liu Xie ordered the Censor Hou Wen, who was in front of him, to cook porridge from Taicang rice beans to help the people.

However, Hou Wen extorted that there was not enough food and fed his personal pockets, and while making a fortune, he did not relieve the disaster at all.

Liu Xie learned that Hou Wen did not use all the grain to provide relief to the victims as a practical method, but took the opportunity to occupy public grain. So he sent someone to get rice, five liters of beans, and cooked porridge in person in front of him. Finally, two large pots of hot porridge were cooked out, which intuitively proved the fact that Hou Wen reported it falsely.

"Come! Drag it out and give it fifty rods!"

At this time, Liu Xie was already fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was just determined to get back the authority of the Han Dynasty. So he took advantage of Hou Wen's opportunity to make a mistake and beat Hou Wen to 50 court sticks.

If Liu Xie has such courage, it is exactly what he said before. Li Jue and Guo Si who control the real power at this time are actually not in Chang'an City!

It turned out that not long ago, Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces with some scholars and officials in Guanzhong to send 500,000 troops to attack Qinchuan County, with the intention of attacking Li Jue and Guo Si together, and seize control of Yongzhou and Chang'an. It was in full force.

After learning about the situation, Li Jue and Guo Si immediately sent more than 400,000 troops with Fan Chou and Li Li, the nephew of Li Jue, to Qinchuan New City to block the attack. Naturally, they were not in Chang'an City at this time.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's attack on the Qinchuan New City of Yongzhou was almost in a row with the large plot of [Xuzhou Controversy]. It was precisely because of the fact that the princes in the central and western regions were not stable at this time, and they also had a wide impact.

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please......"

Hou Wen begged for mercy loudly and said. 50 The court stick is not a small number, and it will directly kill him if you are not careful!

In the past, when Emperor Ling of Han was there, he often used the punishment of court sticks. Not to mention that there were so many 50 court sticks. If they were really strong, at most twenty or thirty court sticks would kill people.

If you encounter a palace maid, eunuch, weak scholar, etc., it will probably take only a few strokes to kill you. How could Hou Wen not be afraid?

However, Liu Xie did not hear his begging for mercy at all. After the guards dragged Hou Wen out, Liu Xie did not mean to change the order.

As a free, smart and clever little emperor, Liu Xie once thought of various ways to get back the rights of the Han Dynasty. In this process, he gradually realized that relying on the princes was basically futile, so he used Li Jue, Guo Si and others to deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and wanted to take the opportunity to control some power and come back. At least he also established prestige.

"Bang!Bang!Bang…"

"Ah! Ah! Ah…..."

“……”

There was a sound of beating and wailing outside the hall. Although Liu Xie could not hear it, he naturally understood the situation outside, and there was a strong sense of determination in his boy's eyes.

At this time, in the Qinchuan New City, the four court officials, Liu Dan, the censor of the Censorate, Zhong Shao, the Left General Liu Fan, and the Shizhong Ma Yu, were also secretly discussing some matters in a study room in the inner city.

The four court officials took the initiative to respond to Li Jue and Guo Si. They came to deal with Ma Teng and Guo Si's army together. However, if they knew what the four people were discussing at this time, I believe that Li Jue and Guo Si might not have let him come easily.

“…………We will be like this then……Who?!”

When the counselor Zhong Shao was explaining a map spread out on the table, he suddenly heard some abnormal movements outside the window. The four of them quickly collected the map and opened the door to check, but found that there was no abnormality.

Zhong Shao, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Liu Fan were also quite confused. Among the four, Zhong Shao had the highest personal strength. When he discovered the abnormality, the other three had not reacted yet. Therefore, they did not know whether Zhong Shao felt a deviation or whether there were actually others just now... …

In fact, the two men of Zhong Shao and the others dared to act Ma Teng, and Han Sui's inner response was not just a desperate act. At this time, on the Ziwu Road near Yongzhou, 200,000 troops were rushing to Jiameng Pass, which was actually one of the four men's backup plans.

Among the four, Liu Fan is the eldest son of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, so it is normal for Yizhou to take advantage of this opportunity to make some moves.

The only regret is that Liu Yan's body was actually too terrified at this time, and he felt that he might die at any time. If it weren't for this, I believe that Liu Yan sent more than 200,000 troops.

Although the terrain of Yizhou is very conducive to defense, Liu Biao, a neighbor of Jingzhou, has been eyeing him. Therefore, when Liu Yan was seriously ill, he had to leave a large part of his troops to guard against Liu Biao. This is the second reason why the number of troops sent in Yizhou is limited.

At this point, with the occurrence of the large-scale systematic plot of the [Xuzhou Controversy], many large and small forces in various places were affected within the entire Three Kingdoms civilization area. Although it is not all directly related to the plot, it is more or less actively or passively involved.
