The imperial chariot was uncomfortable, but thinking that at least no one was watching here, Liu Xie couldn't say anything.

He leaned back a little and whispered:

"It seems that General Zuo has another great victory in Jingzhou."

Liu Xie didn't understand battle formations, and he wasn't well-informed because of his status, but many things could be guessed from Cao Ah Man's attitude towards him - of course, he dared to think about this title in his mind.

For example, last year, Liu Xie squatted in Xudu to watch the sun, and then watched Cao Ah Man come from Tongguan with all his might and leave in disgrace.

Later, he heard from the queen that Wancheng was lost, Cao Hong was dead, General Zuo's sworn brother Guan Yu was showing off his power, and Xu Shu, who had previously absconded from Xudu, was making suggestions.

So Liu Xie rarely drank two glasses of wine before going to bed that night, and slept particularly soundly.

But later I felt a little sad when I thought about this matter. It had only been three years since Xu Shu had been trapped in Xu Du, and he was picked up by General Zuo at great expense.

Emperor Liu Xie called his uncle at the beginning, why did he just ignore him?

Of course, this idea is just a wishful thinking, but for Liu Xie, there is finally some hope in the days that have seemed dark since Dong Guiren's death.

It was the same this time. He had also heard about the army mobilization and assembly in western Henan. He knew without guessing that they must be trying to regain control of Jingzhou.

It's just this result... Judging from the fact that he was riding the chariot northward at this time, it probably didn't go well.

"I have heard something about it."

There was no one else in the royal chariot, and Fu Shou also changed into a more comfortable posture and snuggled up with Liu Xie:

"There are rumors in Xudu that General Zuo's sworn brother Guan Yunchang has a blood-armored flying cavalry under his command."

"Able to travel thousands of miles in a day, spitting black mist from the mouth, and not afraid of swords and swords all over his body, all are transformed by his past loyalty and virtue that wasted in vain. Even the tiger and leopard cavalry fled without fighting."

Liu Xie was dumbfounded, shrugging his shoulders, and finally burst into laughter:

"This is all a common misinformation."

In his heart, Liu Xie sighed softly:

If there really is such a flying cavalry, then just take Cao A'an's head directly. How many things will it take?

As for the theory of being loyal and loyal to death in vain, it was probably the queen who added it to comfort herself.

However, after living in Xudu for nearly twenty years, Liu Xie, who has become increasingly unclear about his hearing and vision, has long been accustomed to looking for the truth from various rumors:

"So, General Zuo does have a cavalry capable of competing against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

Even though he didn't know much about battle formations, he still knew the role of cavalry.

From Jingzhou to the east, from Guanzhong to the east, there is a vast land. If you want to compete with Cao Ah Man, the cavalry is the most important thing.

Fu Shou nodded slightly.

Liu Xie's eyes suddenly became excited:

"In this case, then what we planned before is not as good as..."

Ever since Cao A concealed his loss in Jingzhou, there had been an undercurrent in Xu Du, and Liu Xie could feel it.

The queen took advantage of the situation and secretly contacted a group of people, and Liu Xie also knew about it.

But... having been trapped in Xudu for nearly twenty years, Dong Guiren, who was pregnant, also suffered misfortunes due to the clothing and belt edict. Now he only has Fu Shou by his side.

Therefore, every time he thought of Dong Guiren's death, Liu Xie worried about the queen. He was afraid that one day Cao Ah Man would come to him again with his sword drawn and accuse the queen of "treason" and ask for execution.

Then he will really become an emperor with nothing.

Fu Shou quietly raised his head and looked at the light waves flowing in the eyes of the emperor in front of him, then smiled lightly and said:

"Bohe." She read out Liu Xie's cousin, opened her mouth and seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end she simply said:

"He is not a good person. He needs to hide his sword to protect himself."

This statement finally convinced Liu Xie, and he fell silent, but hugged Fu Shou tighter.

Fu Shou's eyes were a little out of focus. In fact, this reason was just part of her idea, and she took the risk to win over the party members just to survive.

At the beginning of the year, Cao Ah'an sent someone to "request" that his biological daughters Cao Xian, Cao Hua, and Cao Jie be sent to the palace to be granted the title of wife. At that time, Fu Shou noticed something unusual.

Just like Cao A'an couldn't tolerate Liu Xie, who had an independent opinion, would Cao A'an, who sent three girls into the palace, tolerate her?

The emperor can play with her, so her position as queen must also belong to a daughter of the Cao family.

As for her stay or stay? Just think of Dong Guiren.

So many people have died under the Yidaizhao, so what’s so surprising about the addition of another queen?

Therefore, Fu Shou paid special attention to the battle situation in Jingzhou this year, because if her predictions were correct:

When Cao A concealed herself and returned to Yecheng, she was executed for "rebellion".

In this case, she might as well try to "conspire" and see what happens?

Liu Bei from Chang'an sneezed loudly, looked up at the sky, tightened his clothes slightly, and then quickened his pace.

Perhaps it was because future generations said that this was the coldest time in the past century, or perhaps it was because Chang'an was considered colder than Chengdu Police.

In short, even though it had just entered October, Liu Bei still deliberately added some clothes to keep out the cold.

He also discussed with Kong Ming to find the best route to send coal from Jiangzhou to Guanzhong to make coal cakes for heating.

At the same time, they also plan to transfer a few people from Jiangzhou who are proficient in coal mining to find a coal mine in Guanzhong that can be used and mined.

But he still remembered clearly that later generations praised Yongzhou a lot, saying that it was rich in minerals, so maybe there was no shortage of coal?

Pushing open the courtyard door, Liu Bei saw Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Ma Chao at a glance.

It's not surprising that Ma Chao was here. Just looking at his naked upper body, holding a sledgehammer in both hands and banging hard against a mass of black and gray stones, Liu Bei understood:

He was captured and worked as a coolie again.

"My lord, you came just in time. The concrete is ready and can be used to build the Shu Road!"

Kong Ming waved his hand happily, so Liu Bei quickly walked over and carefully looked at the black and gray object that Ma Mengqi smashed with his hammer:

"Concrete?"

When Ma Mengqi hammered down, the black and gray gravel on the outside of the concrete flew everywhere, but a closer look showed that the inside was intact. Each hammer could only knock down the debris on the outside, and the inside was quite tough.

"Although it is not as good as later generations, it is still far better than rammed earth."

"There were many cracks in the independent building, so I followed the craftsman's instructions and imitated the thin rammed earth wall method with built-in wooden rafters, and it was completed."

Liu Bei understood this:

"If you build a plank road with this thing, the Shu road will not be afraid of water and fire, which is a great good thing."

Kong Ming smiled and nodded:

"This thing still has great uses, but it can also be produced in a workshop. It will be used for Shu Road first."

Liu Bei nodded and agreed, and then remembered another thing he was thinking about during this trip:

"News came from Liangzhou that Han Sui was seriously ill. Cheng Gongying asked for help, saying that Yan Xing seemed to be rebellious."

Pang Tong was not surprised when he heard this. He had dealt with Yan Xing when he was in Yongliang, Hanzhong, and he was very familiar with him.

Both Yan Xing's parents were in Yecheng, and he sent them there on his own initiative. Basically, he only had the option of surrendering to Cao and going to the dark side.

After all, this person is not as decisive as some people, and not everyone can afford the so-called "father-killing" title in later generations.

Hearing Yan Xing's name, Ma Chao immediately became energetic:

"My lord, how about letting me go and meet this beast?"
