The journey from Chengdu to Hanzhong was long and difficult. This time, Lu Bu launched a large-scale attack. The situation was dangerous. Zhuge Liang had mobilized all the national strength of Shu Han, but only about 100,000 troops.
It was easy to imagine how small Shu Han's influence was in the Three Kingdoms.
Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were originally Liu Bei's guardians. However, he had been operating in Jiang Prefecture and had some achievements. Jiang Prefecture City was his greatest achievement. He did not want to leave his base.
Therefore, when Zhuge Liang transferred him to be a grain transport officer and asked him to send 20,000 troops to fight against Lu Bu, he refused in his heart.
It wasn't that he didn't know about the principle of food and fodder before the army moved, but that he didn't want to move. In addition, he didn't have the slightest confidence in defeating Lu Bu. His son, Li Feng, also knew the big picture. He urged Li Yan to set off every day, but Li Yan was still hesitant.
When Liu Chan's imperial edict arrived, he was taken aback, wondering how this young and mediocre emperor could be so diligent in government.
In his heart, Liu Chan meddling in state affairs was equivalent to meddling in other people's business.
When he opened the imperial edict, he was stunned. Liu Chan wanted him to set off immediately, and his son, Li Feng, would be in charge of all matters in Jiang Zhou.
He could shirk off Zhuge Liang's orders, but he had to obey the Emperor's edict. He felt that this was Zhuge Liang's scheme to use Liu Chan's divine tablet to attack him.
Li Yan was deeply grateful to Liu Bei. As a general who had surrendered, Liu Bei had used him according to his talent and cared for him. White Emperor City had also specially called him over to entrust him with his orphan.
As for the new master, Liu Chan, although he had been the emperor for five years, he had no opinion on anything. Everything was left to Zhuge Liang to decide. He was completely a decoration. This time, the sudden edict caught him off guard.
As for the grain, he was in a dilemma. Although Shu was a land of abundance, there were not many people who cultivated the land. The population was concentrated in Jingzhou. Ever since Liu Bei entered Shu, he had been fighting for years and abandoned too much land. The ones who had more land were usually the aristocratic families. They would rather the grain in the granary rot than give it to Liu Bei.
Li Yan's grain transport officer was really a little like a clever housewife who couldn't cook without rice.
In the Spring Room, Liu Chan was looking at the twenty-eight-year-old Yang Yuhuan.
Looking at her carefully, Yang Yuhuan had put on some makeup and her face was covered in red clouds. She had a charming smile and beautiful eyes. She was indeed beautiful beyond compare.
She looked plump and alluring.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!" Yang Yuhuan bowed.
She raised her head and her eyes were like autumn water. They were clear, pure, and innocent.
He had a round chin, a protruding nose, and a neck that revealed skin like cream.
Yang Yuhuan indeed lived up to her reputation! Liu Chan couldn't care less. He pulled her over and placed her on his knees. Yang Yuhuan looked coquettish. She was embarrassed, but she cooperated and threw herself into Liu Chan's arms.
"Your Majesty, how can this servant be favored by Your Majesty?”Yang Yuhuan muttered to herself. She was like a docile cat clinging to Liu Chan's side.
...............
"People say that Your Majesty is blessed and transcends the world. Today, this servant has received a favor and feels that rumors are fleeting clouds.”Yang Yuhuan hugged Liu Chan and said.
"It's just a common saying, don't mind it. Yuhuan, don't go back to the palace today.”Liu Chan said.
