At this time, Liu Jing had returned to Chang'an. After winning the Central Plains War, Liu Jing was not in a hurry to continue attacking Cao Wei. The political internal strife caused by Cao Wei's disastrous defeat in the Central Plains became more and more intense. In this case, a rash attack would only lead to internal unity of Cao Wei. On the contrary, if you relax a little, Cao Wei's internal strife would appear.

For this reason, Liu Jing ordered Zhao Yun's army to continue to besiege Luoyang and not rush to break the city. He also ordered the Han army to continue confronting Cao's army in Qingzhou. He wanted to maintain a tight inside and loose outside, and create a good external environment for the internal strife in Yedu.

But Liu Jing was also very busy after returning to Chang'an. He needed the certificates he had to approve, the officials he had to renamed, the local officials he had to receive, etc. After he came back, he had almost no time to rest.

However, with the end of the autumn harvest, Liu Jing finally got out of the busy government affairs. That morning, he came to the Warm Heart Hall of Weiyang Palace and paid homage to Hou Fushou. This was his second time after returning to Chang'an.

Shortly after returning to Chang'an, Liu Jing held a grand worship ceremony in the Qinzheng Hall of Weiyang Palace, leading the official to establish Fushou as the empress of the Han Dynasty, and formally established Fushou's political status.

Just a few days ago, Cao Pi also issued a prime minister's notice to the world, that Wei State officially recognized Fu Shou as the empress of the Han Dynasty and Cao Jie as the queen of the Western Palace. This was a compromise and concession expressed by Cao Pi to Liu Jing under the severe situation.

Fu Shou is over forty years old this year, but she is well maintained, looking like she is in her early teens, with a beautiful face, gentle and quiet. She has lived in Weiyang Palace for several months, but she has the best relationship with Da Qiao, perhaps because of their similar personalities.

However, in front of Liu Jing, she seemed a little restrained. Fu Shou knew very well that she was just an important cornerstone for Liu Jing to ascend to the throne. Liu Jing did not truly respect her. If she wanted to spend the rest of her life peacefully in Weiyang Palace, she had to cooperate with Liu Jing.

In the Qilin side hall, Liu Jing led several prime ministers to respectfully kneel down to Fu Shou and bow to him. "After meeting with the ministers, Liu Jing and the prime ministers, I wish you good health and happiness!"

Although Fu Shou tried to calm her expression as much as possible, she could see that she was still a little nervous. Fu Shou had realized that Liu Jing had invited her to the Qilin Hall today, and there must be something big. She waved her hand and said, "Your Highness, don't be too polite. Please come up, please sit down and talk!"

Several eunuchs next to them laid soft mats for everyone. Liu Jing and the prime ministers sat down. Liu Jing asked with a smile: "I heard that I was unwell in the past two days, can I be better now?"

Fu Shou smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Ai's family is already much better."

After pausing, Fu Shou took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything wrong with Your Highness?"

Liu Jing looked at everyone and tried to say in a gentle tone: "First, I care about my health, and secondly, I hope that I can issue an edict to the world that the Cao father established in Yedu is not in line with the rituals and etiquette, and should be abolished."

Fu Shou nodded silently. She knew that the Han Dynasty had publicly told the world that it did not recognize the heaven established by the Cao family, but after all, the law was insufficient, so Liu Jing hoped that he would not recognize Yedu Tian as the queen of the Han Dynasty.

Fu Shou himself did not recognize that the son born to Cao Jie was the heir of the Han Dynasty. She was willing to issue such an edict in public and private matters. After Fu Xu said without hesitation: "The Ai family can issue an edict."

Liu Jing was overjoyed. Although he could issue an edict directly in the future without asking Fu Shou's consent, if he did so, he would be no different from Cao Cao's tyranny to command the princes, and would eventually be criticized by the ministers. Therefore, Liu Jing was more cautious and tried his best to make Fu Shou publicly express his wishes to stop everyone's mouths.

"Thank you for your understanding of the matter. I will rest after not disturbing you. I will send you back to the palace!"

Fu Shou looked at Liu Jing deeply, got up and left the throne. Accompanied by several palace maids, he quickly left the Qilin side hall from the side door. At this time, Zhang Zhao smiled and asked, "Can Your Highness be sure that Cao Pi will abolish the false heaven he established?"

Liu Jing sneered and said, "Cao Pi promised to abolish the false heaven on the surface, but asked me to give in first. There is no such a cheap thing. It is reasonable and legal to abolish the young false heaven in the name of our nature. Cao Pi is just the prime minister. Can he still compete with the queen? When he comes again next time, the conditions will not be so simple."

The prime ministers nodded in agreement, and everyone left the Qilin Hall. At this time, Sima Yi took a slow step and followed Liu Jing. He whispered: "Your Highness, will the extermination of the Wan Youzhou army affect the balance of Yedu?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Both of them have concerns, and no one is willing to take action easily. The destruction of Wan Youzhou Army is a great news for Cao Pi. He will definitely summon Cao Xiu's army back to Yedu at any cost. As long as Wan's army returns to Yedu, the power of Yedu will reverse, and Cao Pi will naturally regain the situation, but I believe Cao Zhi will not sit still and wait for death, so the struggle in Yedu will become more and more exciting."

"Who will Your Highness hope to win? Cao Pi or Cao Zhi?" Sima Yi asked with a smile.

Liu Jing shook his head, "It doesn't matter to us. I just hope that they will fight internally, weaken their strength as much as possible, and create conditions for us to wipe out the Cao army with vitality. Just like this Yellow River ambush, if Cao Zhang hadn't been rushing to return to Youzhou, how could we have such a good opportunity?"

"This is God blessing us!"

Liu Jing did not agree with Sima Yi's idea of ​​owing to the sky. He said lightly: "The so-called freezing ruler is not a cold one day. Cao Cao repeatedly breached his trust in the issue of establishing an inheritance and delayed it is the root of the Wei internal strife. Cao Cao used the internal strife of the Yuan brothers to easily seize Hebei. I guess he never expected that the internal strife of the Yuan brothers fell on him again. Usually this contradiction was covered by Cao Cao's strength and would not be easily revealed. However, with Cao Cao's critical illness and the miserable defeat in the Central Plains, the contradictions would erupt in an unfavorable situation. The power changes in all dynasties cannot escape this vicious circle."

"Your Highness can see thoroughly!"

Zhuge Liang walked over with a smile and said, "Can Your Highness talk about Bingzhou's strategy?"

Zhuge Liang was in charge of Bingzhou, but because Xiahou Dun led 20,000 Bingzhou Cao's army back to Yedu from the original lead, the Han army also stopped its military offensive in Bingzhou and waited for the change of the situation. This time Zhuge Liang rushed back to Chang'an to discuss Bingzhou's next strategy with Liu Jing.

"It's inconvenient to speak here, so Kong Ming might as well follow me to the military office to discuss."

Liu Jing said to Sima Yi again: "Let Zhongda come together!"

When people came to the military office, this was the place where Liu Jing's official room discussed military information. There was a huge sand table in the lobby, six meters long and four meters wide, composed of six sand tables, covering the entire world except Jiaozhou.

Liu Jing walked to the sand table in Bingzhou, and Zhuge Liang picked up the wooden pole and introduced: "At present, the Han army in Hanoi County has withdrawn from Shangdang County. We have deployed a total of 40,000 troops in Shangdang County. The Cao army originally had 50,000 troops. After Xiahou Yuan took away 20,000 troops, the Cao army further retreated. Currently, it has retreated to the original county. In fact, in the entire Bingzhou, the Cao army only controlled one county."

Sima Yi said on the side: "This is a wise move by Cao's army. It is beneficial to fight at critical moments. As long as Cao's army defeats the Han army in the original county, they can recover the entire Bingzhou in one go, so we cannot underestimate the other's retreat."

"Although Zhongda's words make sense, the Cao army was forced to retreat rather than voluntarily. There is a big difference between this. Now the Cao army in Bingzhou is weak. It would not be so easy if we just want to drive the Han army out of Bingzhou."

Zhuge Liang's tone showed confidence. This was the first battle he commanded after returning to the Han Dynasty. He also tried his best. Sima Yi's words revealed a distrust of his abilities, which made Zhuge Liang feel a little unhappy.

At this time, Liu Jing, who had been silent, asked, "Who is guarding Jingxing now?"

Liu Jing no longer cared about the gains and losses of Bingzhou. He knew it in his mind. With Zhuge Liang's strategy and Guan Yu's command, it was only a matter of time to seize Bingzhou. At this time, he was more concerned about how to break from Bingzhou to Hebei. Climbing the hiking mountain was an obstacle that they had to face.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Zhang He led 5,000 troops to guard Leping County, including Jingxing Pass, but we may not necessarily go to Jingxing. We can go to the south, or Puyin Pass in the north, and we can enter Hebei."

Liu Jing shook his head, "You must first break the original city when you go to Puyin Xing. And when winter is approaching, it will be snowy in the north. It is unrealistic to go to Puyin Xing and Feihu Xing. The Fukou Xing is just above Yedu. Cao's army has heavy troops in Fukou Guantun. I still hope to seize Jingxing first, at least before the end of the year, we can control this strategic road."

Liu Jing had actually given Zhuge Liang a mission and a deadline. Zhuge Liang understood in his heart and immediately bowed and bowed and said, "I will do my best to seize Jingxing."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile, "I will leave the task of attacking Yuan to Long Lai to complete. As long as Kong Ming can capture Jingxing and open the strategic road to Hebei, I will be credited with Kong Ming's Bingzhou."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Your Highness underestimated us. It is better to give us the mission and lend the heavy armored infantry to Weichen. Before the end of the year, we will all take down Jingxing and Yuan. Weichen is willing to issue an order for military order."

Liu Jing said happily: "There is no need for military orders. I am looking forward to seeing Kong Ming show his strategy in Bingzhou."

Zhuge Liang retreated first, and Sima Yi whispered to Liu Jing: "Kong Ming and Guan Yu are both backbones of the Jiaozhou Party. Will it be unsafe to let them command tens of thousands of elite soldiers? Weichen is always a little worried about whether Ma Chao's troubles will reappear."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Zhongda, please rest assured, Liu Bei's father is in my hands, and their wife and children are in my hands. I wish they could not make trouble. If they let them stand alone and win, Guan Yu will return home."

"Although that's the case, I suggest you be careful."

Liu Jing nodded, "I will arrange for a confidant general to go to Bingzhou to assist in the war!"
