"Okay, let's take a look first!"

"Fei'er, go back and tell her that I will go to her camp tomorrow night to have a serious talk with her."

Looking at Liu Yifei's pitiful eyes, Liu Wei sighed and finally relented.

Having ignored Diao Chan for more than ten days, she must have already reflected on her mistakes.

We should give her some comfort, a balance between tension and relaxation.

After all, it's not hard to see now that Diao Chan's heart already belongs to Liu Wei.

The two eunuchs who delivered the message had been burned alive by Shen Lian ten days ago.

Their deaths will soon reach Empress Dowager Dong's ears, which can be considered as helping Diao Chan completely sever ties with Empress Dowager Dong.

Upon learning from them about the deaths of Liu Wei's adoptive parents, Shen Lian also dispatched spies to infiltrate Luoyang and Zhuojun to investigate the whole story.

Liu Wei will not let anyone who killed his adoptive parents and the murderers of Niujiazhuang get away with it!

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When Liu Yifei heard that Liu Wei had agreed to go see Diao Chan the next night, she was overjoyed.

The two met at Zhongling in Dingxiang. When Diaochan saw Liu Du sending these ten Xianbei girls, she asked Liu Yifei to accompany her.

The two women were already as close as sisters.

Liu Wei relented, which meant he was ready to forgive Diao Chan, and Liu Yifei was naturally happy.

"Fei'er, let's do it again. I've come up with a brand new position."

Liu Wei gave a mischievous smile.

"Your Highness, please spare me!"

Liu Yifei paled. "This is my limit. If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted."

"Your Highness, let me give you a massage. How long has it been since you experienced my techniques!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Wei affectionately hugged Liu Yifei, "Quickly give this king a massage!"

"Your Highness, please lie down properly!"

......

The next day.

Liu Wei got up from Liu Yifei's embrace, walked out of the tent, and returned to his own quarters.

Xiao Guizi brought breakfast.

"Your Highness, the Madam has not eaten or drunk anything these past few days and has lost a lot of weight."

Xiao Guizi said cautiously, "She's pregnant, what if..."

"Xiao Guizi, are you here to plead for her too?"

Liu Wei ate his food, looking at Xiao Guizi with a half-smile, "Is this something you should be meddling in?"

Xiao Guizi immediately knelt down: "Your Highness, this servant deserves to die!"

"This servant only hopes that Your Highness and Madam can live in harmony, and that the little prince will be safe and sound."

"Get up!"

Liu Wei said calmly, "Seeing how much you care about the lady, you should also tell her that I will be visiting her tent tonight."

Doing another favor won't hurt.

Xiao Guizi was overjoyed, tears welling up in her eyes: "This servant obeys."

After finishing his breakfast, Liu Wei meditated and cultivated in his tent for half an hour.

Afterwards, he went to the main tent to work.

"Your Highness, here is the latest military intelligence regarding Juyan Lake!"

An official from the Sima family rushed over, his face beaming with excitement.

Xue Rengui led the cavalry battalion and the Xuanjia cavalry to Juyan Lake to defeat the 40,000 Xianbei cavalry. Chen Ji also accompanied the army.

He left several officials in his Sima Mansion to handle daily military affairs.

The three prefects, Zhang Liao, Liu Du, and Zhang Xun, were required to report regularly on their troop numbers, training, defense, and supplies.

The current battleground is the Juyan Lake area.

Liu Wei's primary concern is everything happening here.

"Speak!"

According to Shen Lian's intelligence report, Di Qing and his hundred prisoner subordinates have been out of contact for several days.

The latest military intelligence should be from Xue Rengui.

In about ten days, even if the Xuanjia Cavalry marched slowly, they should have reached Juyan Lake by now!

"It's news about Colonel Di Qing!"

"He has not only captured Juyan City, but also annihilated nearly 20,000 Xianbei barbarians."

“Even Zhangye County has been taken under his control.”

The official rattled off a string of words like a machine gun.

What!

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei immediately lost his composure, jumped up, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted:

"How magnificent! Di Qing has indeed not disappointed me. He actually captured Zhangye and Juyan with only one hundred men. It's simply a miracle!"

"Tell me quickly, how did he do that?"

The official was startled by Liu Wei's excited demeanor, taking a few steps back before regaining his footing. He then proceeded to recount the intelligence gathered by the Sima family and the intelligence bureau:

"Your Highness... Your Highness! Commander Di, he..."

According to his intelligence, Di Qing led three thousand men and a fire ox formation to rout the Xianbei who were besieging Juyan City and successfully entered the city.

The fire ox formation might not be surprising, but what surprised Liu Wei was that in just over ten days, Di Qing had managed to build an army of three thousand men from a mere hundred.

This piqued the curiosity of Liu Wei, who possessed the population growth system.

However, this also shows that his decision was correct.

If Di Qing were allowed to expand in this way around Juyan Lake, he might soon be able to build an army of tens of thousands of men.

"Your Highness, didn't General Xue's trip go to waste?"

"Of the 40,000 Xianbei people, Commandant Di only annihilated less than 20,000."

Liu Wei smiled slightly, "Moreover, there are 10,000 Xianbei people besieging the city. However, Commandant Di has stopped launching attacks, presumably waiting for my reinforcements."

"By order of the King, General Xue shall cooperate with Colonel Di to eliminate the ten thousand Xianbei who are besieging the city!"

The official immediately noted it down and then asked, "There are still 10,000 Xianbei people who did not return to the northern desert, but instead fled to Dunhuang."
