I did it all for the Han Dynasty!

Chapter 444 Still thinking about getting something for free
Liu Miao spoke with righteous indignation! As if he were really about to do something noble and righteous!
"I am related to Yuan Shao, after all! His wife and son are good-for-nothings, so I must help discipline them! At the very least, I can't let Yuan Shao die with his eyes wide open in disgrace!"

Liu Miao looked righteous at this moment. If you didn't know what he was going to do, you would probably really think that Liu Miao was Yuan Shao's good brother!

"Let's go! I hope Yuan Shao will be strong enough to survive the battle and not suddenly die on the battlefield!"

The cold wind has already begun to blow.

Winter Solstice is just a few days away.

"Li" means to establish or begin; "Dong" means to end or end, when all things are stored away. The Beginning of Winter signifies that vital energy begins to recuperate and all things enter a period of rest and recuperation.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Kuaihang hid in the stable and wouldn't come out. It was only after Liu Miao personally went over and whipped him twice that Kuaihang slowly swayed out of the stable with his long, horse-like face.

"It's worthless!"

After placing the saddle and stirrups on Kuaihang, Liu Miao reprimanded him with a stern expression.

"One is born in hardship and dies in comfort!"

"Think about the Akhal-Teke horses you slept with last time! Don't you want to sleep with a few more?"

"Hmph! Hmph!"

A burst of hot breath erupted from Kuaihang's nose.

"If we win this battle, forget about the Akhal-Teke horses! What do you want to sleep in? Imagine a whole herd of golden-haired, blue-eyed warhorses surrounding you, calling you 'Daddy.' Doesn't that sound exciting?"

"Hmph! Hmph!"

Seeing that Kuaihang had regained its former glory, Zhou Tai, who was standing next to him, stared in astonishment: "This works too?"

"Why won't this work?"

Liu Miao stepped on the saddle, and with a gentle push of his thigh, he flipped himself onto the high-bridged saddle on Kuai Hang's back.

The pit was neither too deep nor too shallow, just enough for Liu Miao to fit perfectly into the saddle without feeling the slightest discomfort.

With a flick of his arms, Kuaihang arrogantly carried Liu Miao forward steadily.

With each rise and fall of hooves, a semi-circular hoof shape was etched into the soft earth. Before it could even remain, pair after pair of iron hooves trampled over the tracks, relentlessly advancing westward!

front.

After abandoning Dingtao, Zhou Yu did not covet the remaining small towns such as Chengwu and Peixian. Instead, he led his army directly to the vicinity of Mangdang Mountain, using the terrain to his advantage to form a pincer movement with the main Han army force currently in Pengcheng.

When Liu Miao arrived at Mangdang Mountain, Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci had already set up a large camp there, relying on the underground palace built by Liu Wu, the King of Liang Xiao.

"Yuan Shao actually dared to transfer his heavy cavalry to Yuan Tan's command in Qingzhou?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback by Liu Miao's bold conjecture.

But Zhou Yu soon realized why he kept sensing that something was wrong.

When Liu Miao was almost trapped in Nanyang by Yuan Shao, Zhou Yu was also by Yuan Shao's side.

In order to intimidate Liu Miao's army, Yuan Shao would often send out his heavy cavalry for a stroll, hoping to instill fear in the Han soldiers and make them surrender.

But during this standoff at Dingtao, Yuan Shao did not send out any heavy cavalry even once.

After exchanging intelligence with Zhou Yu, Liu Miao also burst into laughter.

"now it's right!"

"Yuan Shao is the kind of guy who, relying on his strength, wants to swagger around in other people's faces! How could he resist showing off his heavy cavalry?"

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao probably just wanted to show off his cavalry, which is why he let Yan Liang and Wen Chou lead cavalry to wander around the front lines alone, resulting in Yuan Shao ruining two sharp blades.

The reason Yuan Shao isn't coming to his aid now is probably because his current situation isn't big enough, and he's afraid of being ridiculed and humiliated if he reveals it.
"Tsk! Actually, I think our Lord Yuan is quite insecure!"

Liu Miao now treats insulting Yuan Shao as a mere joke.

"What does he fear? I will make sure everyone knows! Gongjin, where is Yuan Shao now?"

"According to the scouts, Yuan Shao has gone to Pei County to pay homage at the ancestral temple of Emperor Gaozu!"

"..."

Liu Miao's smile froze.

"Going to Pei County? To pay respects to our ancestor?" "Yes!"

"How dare he?"

Zhou Yu and his generals were immediately filled with fear.

Now that the ancestral temple of Emperor Gaozu is being worshipped by Yuan Shao, the usurper who seized power from the Han dynasty, how can this not be considered a disgrace to the Han emperors?
Lord humiliate to death!

Everyone felt inexplicably uneasy, thinking that Liu Miao would probably fly into a rage!
But the angry outbursts didn't come.

Liu Miao, on the contrary, burst into laughter!

"How dare Yuan Shao?"

"The Han Dynasty governed the country with loyalty and filial piety! What he did can be considered loyal? What the Yuan family did can be considered filial?"

The Yuan family has achieved all the virtues of brotherly love and respect, and filial piety and parental love!

How did Yuan Shao have the audacity to enter the ancestral temple of Emperor Gaozu? Where did he get the courage?
Zhou Yu hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty is not angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? It's like an outsider inviting your father to dinner! You don't have to pay for it, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"At most, we're asking the old man to do something for us! But no matter how many things we need to do, we can't just ask him to change his surname from Liu to Han, can we?"

Liu Miao really had no objection to Yuan Shao's offering of sacrifices to Emperor Gaozu.

If possible, Liu Miao even hoped that Yuan Shao could spend some money to repair the ancestral temple of Emperor Gaozu, so that he could get a free sum of money for repairing the temple in the future...

"Gongjin, do you think I should go to the ancestral graves of the Yuan family in Runan and have a good cry, cursing the Yuan family for producing such a troublesome wretch as Yuan Shao?"

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

When others said this, Zhou Yu thought they were joking.

But now it was Liu Miao who said this, and Zhou Yu felt that... anything was possible!
"Is Your Majesty serious?"

"For the sake of the General, let it go!"

Liu Miao chuckled and hugged his arms to keep warm.

"From today onwards, send dozens of loud-voiced men every day to shout at Yuan's camp!"

"What to shout?"

"Yuan Shao is about to die! His youngest son, in his quest for the throne, has leaked all the intelligence about Yuan Shao's army to me!"

Suddenly a cool breeze blew onto Liu Miao's neck, and Liu Miao involuntarily shivered.

"One more thing! If I lie to them, may all the buttocks I touch in brothels from now on be men's!"

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Miao helplessly: "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit vulgar?"

"What a load of rubbish! This is meant for Yuan Shao, and also for his soldiers. Why make it sound so literary? Do you think too few people can understand it?"

Liu Miao rolled his eyes at Zhou Yu.

"And Gongjin, can't you really see what I'm trying to do?"

Zhou Yu could certainly see it—

Liu Miao is forcing Yuan Shao to engage in a decisive battle with the Han army!

If Yuan Jun's heavy cavalry is truly not in the Central Plains, then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Han army!

What's most ingenious is that once the rumors spread, Yuan Shao would inevitably do something to prove them wrong!

Now, Liu Miao has completely put Yuan Shao in a precarious position!
"And there's one more crucial thing."

Liu Miao slowly looked in the direction of Pei County.

"Yuan Shao, should he choose to pacify the internal situation before repelling external threats, or should he pacify the internal situation before repelling external threats?"

"Hasn't he always liked to use his power to intimidate others and take the initiative?"

"This time, I will give him full control of the choice! Let him make the decision himself!"
