Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

After enjoying a few days of pleasant time with his wives, Liu Xian finally started to handle official duties. Early in the morning, Liu Xian came to the imperial study room. Chen Gong, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang, who had been waiting in the imperial study room, paid a visit to Liu Xian together.

Liu Xian patted the arms of the three of them and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for this period of time."

The three of them couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Liu Xian asked: "What's going on between Cao Cao and Sun Quan?"

Chen Gong said: "The two sides were incompatible because of policy differences. Cao Cao wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but Sun Quan wanted to go all the way to the darkness.

I was originally suspicious of this matter, worried that it would be their conspiracy. However, what happened afterwards was completely different from what we expected.

Cao Cao suddenly ran away from Danyang and seized Danyang County in one fell swoop. He then sent an envoy to contact us for surrender. At this time, Sun Quan mobilized a large army to advance to Danyang, trying to force Cao Cao to continue to fight against the court with him.

Cao Cao refused to obey, and fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Sun Quan had regained several counties around Danyang. Cao Cao retreated to a corner of Danyang. The situation was very unfavorable to Cao Cao."

Liu Xian nodded thinking, looked at the three of them, and smiled and said, "You did not interfere in this matter. Do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty is wise! He told me the thoughts of the three of us in one sentence!" Then he frowned and said: "As Your Majesty said, we have some doubts about this matter..."

Liu Xian touched his chin and asked, "Do you think this breakup scene was directed and performed by Sun Quan and Cao Cao?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise! That's what we think!" Then he said solemnly: "Cao Cao is a hero. Such a person would rather die than surrender! But now he actually wants to surrender, which makes people doubt it!..."

Liu Xian nodded and asked with a smile, "Is there any but?"

The three of them couldn't help but smile, and Guo Jia nodded and said, "But the current situation is really beyond our estimate. If this is the trick of the two of them, it is unexpected to have evolved to the extent of the war. So..."

Liu Xian thought, "So you are also worried about whether your judgment is correct."

The three nodded, and Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Although Cao Cao is a great hero, it is precisely because of this that he should have the courage to take on and let go. If the general trend of the country is to Your Majesty today, the destiny of heaven is unstoppable.

It is not impossible for Cao Cao to understand this and give up his futile struggle. So judging from the current situation, we also think that Cao Cao's surrender is very likely to be real. We may be a little judged by the heart of a villain."

Liu Xian looked outside the study with his hands behind his back, frowned slightly, and could not make a decision for a moment.

At this moment, Dian Wei ran in and bowed to Liu Xian; "Your Majesty, that Cao Cao's envoy Liu Ye asked to see Your Majesty!"

Liu Xian frowned and said, "Liu Ye?"

Chen Gong immediately explained: "Liu Ye is the envoy sent by Cao Cao to surrender to us. He has been staying in Luoyang for a while. Cao Cao's ideas were conveyed to us through him."

Liu Xian nodded and said to Dian Wei: "Take him in."

Dian Wei clasped his fists and went there quickly. After a while, he led a civil servant in a literati costume with an anxious expression. Liu Xian recognized the person he had met before.

Liu Ye looked up at Liu Xian, quickly stepped forward and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Liu Xian smiled and said, "Sir, don't be too polite, get up and talk."

Liu Ye thanked him and then said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we surrender to Your Majesty, why did your Majesty delay sending troops to rescue him? Now that Sun Quan's thief led his army to siege the city, my lord and the soldiers of the three armies may not last long!

If Your Majesty does not send troops, I am afraid that I can only rush back to collect the corpse for the lord and the others!”

Liu Xian comforted: "Sir, don't worry, I won't sit still no matter what."

Liu Ye's emotions calmed down a little, and he said sadly: "If your life is clear today, the lord will not want to go against the will of heaven and want to surrender to Your Majesty. However, the thief Sun Quan was crazy. Not only did he not listen to his lord's advice, he also wanted to harm his lord!..."

Liu Xian nodded thinking and asked, "What's going on with Cao Cao?"

Liu Ye showed a strong sense of worry and said, "According to the news I received these days, the situation is very bad. Now the lord and the others have retreated to the lonely city of Danyang, and there are thieves in the city who are working inside and outside, which has caused the situation to almost collapse several times.

If the lord had not been calm in the face of danger, the generals would have sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, I was afraid that Danyang would have fallen!"

Then he clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "Your Majesty! Time is too long! Please send troops to rescue the lord and the others!" He said and bowed deeply to Liu Xian.

He looked extremely anxious, and his appearance also infected everyone present. Everyone present was a human being, so naturally he felt that Liu Ye's words and attitudes were not fake at all.

Liu Xian stepped forward and helped Liu Ye up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will send troops to rescue Cao Cao! Go back and tell Cao Cao immediately, and I will say that I have ordered the army from the Three Wus to send troops."

Liu Ye was overjoyed and thanked him.

After the person sent Liu Ye away, Liu Xian turned around and said to the three people present: "I have decided to send troops, what do you say?"

The three of them thought for a while, clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing that the three of them had no objections, Liu Xian said, "Since it has been decided, it's not too late. I will immediately send a letter to order the troops from the Three Wus to assemble and attack. Fengxiao, you immediately rush back and take command."

Guo Jia agreed with his fists and walked quickly.

Liu Xian watched Guo Jia leave and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming immediately returns to Changsha to prepare for war."

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Xian’s idea, held his fists and agreed, and walked quickly.

Liu Xian looked at Zhuge Liang's departure back, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, there is another major event that requires your Majesty to make a decision." Chen Gong suddenly bowed.

Liu Xian was in a daze, looked at Chen Gong and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "It's about establishing a crown prince."

Liu Xian was stunned and understood, and smiled and said, "The office station doesn't refer to the child in Yanran's belly, right?"

Chen Gong said seriously: "This is the matter! Alas, although the empire was prosperous and everything was fine, the empress and everyone had a vague concern in their hearts, that is, the matter of the heirs.

Now that the Imperial Concubine is finally pregnant with a dragon seed, the hidden worries of the Han Dynasty have finally disappeared!”

Liu Xian touched his nose and smiled, "It's too early. The child hasn't been born yet!"

Chen Gong wanted to persuade him again, but then he thought about it and felt that the child of the imperial concubine had not been born yet, and he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman. Now he was really a bit too hasty to say about this matter.
