"The mourning family is not leaving" After listening to Liu Wei's words, Empress Dowager He gave an unexpected choice.
Liu Wei was a little inexplicable: "Don't go" Empress Dowager He nodded: "Yes, the mourning family doesn't plan to leave."
The mourning family was fed up with the bumps of the journey, and they were afraid that they would not wait for the Dong thief's people to kill the mourning family, so they would exhaust themselves to death on the journey first.
Besides, the emperor, when you first arrived in Yangzhou, you don't know how Liu Miao will treat you, and maybe you will have to run around.
Therefore, the mourning family should stay in Nanyang for a few days to enjoy the blessings, and when the emperor has a foothold and laid a foundation, it is not too late to send someone to pick up the mourning family. ” Liu Wei pondered carefully, what this cheap mother said also made sense.
Not to mention the crime of following the march with her golden jade body, it will slow down the march, and it is also a good choice to stay in Wanxian County for a while.
"Since the queen mother is afraid of the fatigue of the journey, then stay in Wancheng for the time being, and when the child leaves, make two carriages bluff and lie that the queen mother is with the army.
When Hua Xiong knows that our mother and son have left Wancheng, they will presumably withdraw from the army, and the queen mother will be safe.
Liu Wei bowed his hand and agreed to his mother's request.
"The King."
Tang Ji stood beside Empress Dowager He and shouted pitifully Liu Wei.
Liu Wei naturally knew what Tang Ji meant, bowed his head slightly, and asked the Empress Dowager He for instructions: "Queen Mother, Tang Ji she" Empress Dowager He yawned and said lazily: "It's really boring for the mourning family to stay alone in Wancheng, let Tang Ji stay with the mourning family, and when the emperor has a foothold, he will send someone to pick us up together." ” Listening to Empress Dowager He's words, although Tang Ji was sad in her heart, she didn't dare to reveal the slightest on the surface, so she had to bow down and say, "The concubine obeys the Empress Dowager's orders." ” Liu Wei could naturally see the reluctance in Tang Ji's eyes, but since the Queen Mother had spoken, it was really not good to be disobedient.
Besides, it is really inconvenient to take a weak woman on the march, Tang Ji is not like Mu Guiying who can gallop on horseback, and he can't make it difficult for him to ride with her along the way, not to mention that he is tired and tired, and it also damages his prestige.
"The journey is bumpy, so it's good for Tang Ji to stay with her mother."
Liu Wei smiled at Tang Ji and reassured: "Ai Ji doesn't have to worry, go to Yangzhou alone, at least three months or more than half a year, and I will definitely send someone to greet you and the queen mother." ” Tang Ji knelt on the ground and choked up: "Congratulations to the king, may the king take care of the dragon body during the journey, and the concubine is willing to accompany the queen mother here and wait for the king." ” Liu Wei nodded, and then gave a farewell salute to Empress Dowager He: "Since this is the case, the child will go" Empress Dowager He's nose was sour, and she waved her hand and said: "Go, I hope that my son can turn evil into good fortune from now on, rise again from sleepy dragons, soar for nine days, and reorganize the rivers and mountains of the Han family." ” Liu Wei flicked the sleeves of his robe, strode out of the lobby with his head held high, and embarked on the road south to Yangzhou without hesitation.
The housekeeper of the He family had prepared two carriages according to the instructions, and selected two handmaidens with similar appearances to sit in the carriage and pretend to be Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji, and sternly warned the house slaves and maidservants to keep secrets.
Whoever dares to leak the news will be beaten to death with a stick and abandoned to wild dogs.
Liu Wei swaggered out of the city like this, naturally he would not escape Liu Pan's ears.
After getting the news, Liu Pan immediately came to see him off according to Liu Biao's instructions.
"The king walks slowly, this is where to go" Liu Pan took his henchmen to fight all the way, and soon caught up with King Hongnong and his party near the city gate, turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to pay respects.
Liu Wei also dismounted, and said with a sad face: "The lonely scout found out that Dong Thief had sent Hua Xiong to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to leave Luoyang, go out of Wuguan, and come to Wancheng to crusade against me and my mother.
The orphan and the queen mother had to continue to die."
Liu Pan showed a look of surprise: "Oh, there is such a thing, but the news of Weichen is blocked."
However, the king doesn't have to worry, although Dong Zhuo is powerful and strong, but his uncle is in charge of Jingxiang, and there are 50,000 armor soldiers under his command, the king doesn't have to worry, wait for me to repair a letter to my uncle, and then make a decision. ” Although Liu Wei was silent on his face, he snorted coldly in his heart.
"After the play, as the Taishou of Nanyang, you are responsible for guarding the border of Jingzhou, you dare to say that you don't know what Dong Zhuo sent troops to commit, but I am afraid that your uncle and nephew will already break their fingers, hoping that the widow will leave as soon as possible."
Since Liu Pan likes acting, Liu Wei also decided to play a supporting role, and said: "The royal brother has a good intention, and he has taken it alone."
Although Liu Jingzhou has quite a lot of soldiers and horses, he needs to divide his troops to garrison various counties, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to concentrate his military strength to compete with the Xiliang soldiers for a while.
Moreover, the widow does not want to see the wolf smoke everywhere because of the lonely mother and son, the widow and the queen mother go away, and the Xiliang soldiers will retreat. ” "The king and the queen mother are kind-hearted, and the ministers are not as good as the ministers" Liu Pan nodded in approval, looking like he was throwing himself to the ground, "I don't know where the king wants to go" Liu Wei pointed to the southeast direction: "Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, is also a relative of the Han family, and he is loyal, and the widow and the queen mother plan to go and attach themselves."
And there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, so I think I can temporarily avoid Dong Thief's soldiers. ” Liu Pan nodded: "Yangzhou has the Yangtze River, and it needs to pass through the territory of the Kwantung princes along the way, so it must be difficult to reach the tentacles of Dong Thief."
The king hid in Yangzhou, which was indeed a superior strategy. ” "Then the lonely will take his leave" Liu Wei arched his hand and was about to turn over and get on the horse.
Liu Pan cleared his throat and said solemnly: "It's Weichen who is incompetent, and he can't protect the king and the queen mother to enjoy the blessings in Nanyang, and I am sincerely afraid in my heart."
Since the king has made up his mind, Weichen does not dare to force him to stay, and is willing to offer 10,000 stones of grain and 1,000 horses of cloth to solve problems for the king on the road. ” I didn't expect this Liu Pan to be interesting enough, Liu Wei was worried that there was not much military food, so he immediately thanked him: "There is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and the imperial brother is generous, so the widow laughs." ” "Hehe, as a courtier, he should show a little affection.
The king asked him to go out of the city, and in a few moments, the ministers would send people to bring food and cloth to the army. ” Liu Pan flashed to the side and made a gesture to give way.
"Farewell" Liu Wei got on the horse, led the convoy, and whipped away.
Liu Pan stood on the street, watching King Hongnong gradually move away, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, it was not easy to finally drive this great god away from Nanyang When Liu Wei came back, Liao Hua had already commanded the troops to complete the camp, and they were all ready to go, just waiting for the lord to return to the team, and immediately go south to Yangzhou.
Liu Pan really kept his word, and as soon as Liu Wei returned to the team, it was less than a cup of tea, and Liu Pan's subordinates sent 10,000 stones of grain and 1,000 pieces of cloth, and Liu Wei smiled happily.
From Nanyang to Yangzhou, there is no room for sloppiness in the long journey, and detailed planning and deployment are required to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Liu Wei ordered people to unfold the map, summoned Gan Ning, Li Yan and other generals to discuss the route of the march, and after analysis, came up with three routes to the south.
First: go vertically south from Wancheng, go to Xiangyang through Xinye, and then take a boat from Jiangling or Jiangxia, go down the river to Qu'a, the place of Danyang Zhi.
But because this route has been running around Jingzhou, every move on the road will inevitably be monitored by Liu Biao's eyeline, and three or four thousand people plus grain, grass and horses need a large number of ships, so this route was first vetoed by Liu Wei.
The second route is from Wancheng to the east, through Runan, and then continue east through Huainan to Hefei to cross the river from the mouth of the Wujiang River, opposite is Liu Xuan's base camp Qu'a.
But remembering that King Xiang had killed himself here, Liu Wei felt that he would hit his head, so he vetoed this route again.
The last route is still to the east through Runan, then to the south to the Lujiang River, through the mouth of the Yangtze River, into the opposite Danyang County, and then to the east for 150 miles, you can reach Qu'a.
"Let's march according to the last route, take the Lujiang River, cross the Xukou, and then enter Danyang" Liu Wei gestured with his hand to the map and made the final decision.
"Whew" With the melodious sound of the horn, the 3,500-strong party began to march eastward.

Along the way, the flags were unfurled, and the smoke and dust were billowing out.
Liao Hua led 1,000 people from his headquarters to serve as the vanguard, opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and rivers, followed by 600 cavalry led by Gan Ning.
Liu Wei and Mu Guiying, together with Li Yandu, led the Praetorian Guard and the grain and grass battalion to escort the money and grain in the middle, and Hua Rong led the bow and arrow battalion to break the rear behind the large army.
The whole army is orderly, busy but not chaotic, which shows that under the training of several military generals, this team composed of civilian men has the discipline of the army.
At this time, it was already the end of October.
The nights were long and the days were short, coupled with the cold weather, the troops were mostly on foot, and they could only march about 70 miles a day.
More than 3,000 horses walked for five or six days before they reached the junction of Runan and Lujiang.
But everyone is not discouraged, through the mountains between the Lujiang River and Runan, the road ahead will become flat, and after walking another 200 miles, you can reach the mouth of the water with a steady flow.
After crossing the Yangtze River, the climate in the south will warm, and it will not be so sinful again.
Liao Hua carried a three-pointed two-edged halberd, walked at the front of the whole team, and from time to time he checked the terrain on both sides of the road, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Boom" The trees on the hillside shook a few times from time to time, but they didn't look like they were being blown by a cold wind.
Because shaking trees do not start with the leaves at the top, but are caused by the trembling of the body.
Liao Hua stared carefully at the hillside, and could vaguely see the shadowy figure shaking in the dry grass, and couldn't help but be taken aback, waved the weapon in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army is on alert, there are ambushes on the hillside" t1706231537:
