Didn't Liu Hong die of illness two years later, in April of the sixth year of Zhongping?
It's only May of the fourth year of the Zhongping era!
Could it be that my time travel altered the course of history, creating another parallel universe?
Liu Hong never had a son named Liu Wei, a son born out of wedlock. The fates of countless people, including Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Zhang Liao, Zhen Mi, and Yuan Shao, were all changed.
Is the news accurate?
After Liu Hong's death, Emperor Shao of Han, Liu Bian, ascended the throne. He Jin wanted to execute the Ten Attendants, but instead, he was tricked into the palace by the Ten Attendants and killed.
Then Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others killed the Ten Attendants. Emperor Shao of Han and the Prince of Chenliu fled north to Mangshan, where they encountered Dong Zhuo, who was summoned to the capital by He Jin!
Dong Zhuo killed Ding Yuan, who had entered the capital earlier, became Grand Tutor, deposed Emperor Shao of Han, installed the Prince of Chenliu, and wreaked havoc on the court.
So, when would be the best time for Liu Wei, who holds Liu Hong's will, to go to the capital?
Should they act before Dong Zhuo deposes the young emperor, or wait until Dong Zhuo has deposed the young emperor and is in power, and the eighteen warlords are launching a campaign against Dong Zhuo?
Liu Wei fell into deep thought.
In an instant, Liu Wei felt that Shard, who was already completely naked in the room, didn't seem so appealing anymore.
"My lord, it is absolutely true!"
Shen Lian nodded vigorously, "As soon as *** returned from the palace, she immediately had Yan Xiaoliu contact us!"
The information obtained from *** should be absolutely certain.
"Your speed in delivering messages has truly exceeded my expectations!" Liu Wei exclaimed. "Commander Shen, you've worked hard!"
The message traveled over 7,000 li from Luoyang to here. It's hard to imagine what kind of delivery method the Embroidered Uniform Guard used to get the message to Loulan in just fifteen days!
"My lord, on our way here, we discovered that there were also people from the palace heading towards the Hetao region."
"They're probably already in the clouds by now!"
He then continued, "After much refinement..."
"Someone from the palace? Someone from Empress Dowager Dong's side or someone close to His Majesty?" Liu Wei frowned.
However, let's set that aside for now.
Liu Wei immediately turned to Xue and Chen with a serious expression and said:
"Chen Lian, please inform Wang Fangyi's guard battalion to prepare immediately. They are to wait for me outside the city in one hour. We need to return to Hetao tonight!"
"General Xue, apart from the various construction corps and the local garrison troops of the Western Regions, your troops who are capable of going on the expedition will be assembled in batches early tomorrow morning and transferred to Zhangye to join forces with General Di Qing of the Black Water!"
"By order of the King, Chen Ji, the Chief Administrator of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, shall be appointed as the Acting Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in the Western Regions."
Xue Rengui's troops consisted of two thousand black-armored cavalry and five thousand white-robed cavalry.
They fought many tough battles and major wars, achieving numerous military exploits. They practically traversed the entire Northwest and were among the first troops to be equipped after Liu Wei left Yanmen Pass.
Liu Wei established five construction corps in the Western Regions, located in four places: Puchanghai, Shule, Ruoqiang, and Wensu, with each place having between 50,000 and 100,000 people.
Another plan is set up in Yili.
Since the reopening of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Tianshan and Pamir Mountains have been snowbound, making roads difficult to travel.
Xue Rengui conquered all the small states in the region south of the Tianshan Mountains, east of the Pamir Mountains, and north of the Qilian Mountains, which surrounds the Tarim Basin.
As for the territories of Wusun and Kangju north of the Tianshan Mountains, they haven't had time to expand yet!
The four construction corps were left by Liu Wei in the Western Regions to help Xue Rengui control the region's food and manpower resources.
Hearing Liu Wei's serious tone, the two realized the matter was extremely important, and their emotions became incredibly agitated.
"My lord, are we about to wage war against the Central Plains?" Xue Rengui's voice trembled.
He spent more than half a year in the Western Regions, dealing with the bearded, pepper-smelling people of the Western Regions every day. Apart from his two thousand heavily armored cavalrymen's daily training, he would go to various small countries in the Western Regions to pose and create a sense of intimidation.
As a martial general, he naturally wanted to achieve great deeds and conquer battlefields.
Now that Liu Wei has transferred his Xuanjia cavalry and cavalry battalion to Zhangye, it goes without saying that war is about to break out.
"Take precautions and prevent problems before they occur."
Liu Wei said calmly.
The two immediately accepted the order and left.
Liu Wei looked at the starry sky and felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
"May you live long and prosper, blessed by Heaven!"
These eight words are incredibly alluring to any man.
Who wouldn't want to be the most powerful man on earth?
I thought I would have to remain hidden and dormant for two years, but I never expected this moment to arrive so quickly.
Yao Guangxiao, back in the Hetao region, must be overjoyed.
Did he prepare the yellow clothes in advance and put them on Liu Wei while he was asleep?
Meanwhile, Liu Hua, who was far away in Beijing, was probably also impatient!
Her daughter, Fu Shou, is getting closer and closer to becoming empress!
Liu Wei felt a surge of emotion: Empress He, Empress Dowager Dong, He Jin, the Ten Attendants, Fatty Dong, Yuan Shao, Cao Mengde, see you in Luoyang!
At this moment, when Sharde noticed that Liu Wei had not returned to his room for a long time, she put on her clothes, got up, and opened the door to check on him.
But they found Liu Wei dressed in a groom's robe, hands behind his back, staring blankly at the deep night sky.
Is there anything that interests Liu Wei more than being a groom?
Sharde called out softly, "My husband!"
"Oh dear, I almost forgot about her!" Liu Wei then remembered that he had just asked Shen Lian to inform Wang Fangyi to assemble, as they would be departing in an hour!
He immediately turned around, strode forward, picked up Shard around the waist, and carried her to the bedside.
"Husband, is there something going on in the Central Plains? Are you leaving again?"
Shard was very perceptive and noticed Liu Wei's unusual behavior. She looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.
