As the people sent by Liu Chang began to spread rumors in Yecheng, Yecheng soon became panicked. People gradually began to believe that perhaps the emperor really sent people to Yecheng.

So at the end of the year, Liu Chang saw that the time seemed to be ripe. He decided to take a team of thousands of people towards Yecheng in person.

He brought Zhang Fei, Zhao Xin, Zhao Di to this trip, and kept Taishi Ci and others in Zhongshan.

The emperor in Luoyang is no longer in good health, and he has no energy to care about other things anymore.

After discussion with Empress He, the ten regular attendants, led by Zhang Rang, decided to completely turn to Empress He.

Only Jian Shuo has always been firmly standing on the side of the emperor. Some people are only loyal to themselves, while others care more about other things.

When Liu Chang and his men passed by Julu, Guo Dian came over with his men and asked: "Long time no see from Liu County, I have been in good health recently. Where are you planning to go with so many men?"

Liu Chang replied affirmatively: "I'm okay lately. I don't know how Grandpa Guo is doing? I am going to Yecheng to arrest Wang Fen's accomplices. I have the secret order issued by Your Majesty. Your Majesty ordered me to be fully responsible for this matter and cannot leave Wang Fen's accomplices."

Guo Dian came to Liu Chang's side, lowered his voice and said with a low voice: "You don't have your Majesty's secret order. Although some people are rumoring that you have surrendered to General He, I know very well that you don't. Just deceive others like this. Let's tell me the truth. We have been in friendship for many years."

Liu Chang was not panicked and said calmly: "Does Prefect Guo want to stop me from going there? Or is Prefect Guo trying to expose my lie?"

After seeing that Liu Chang was not panicked, Guo Dian did not sway Liu Chang's appetite and said directly: "No matter what Liu Junjun is doing, it should have nothing to do with me. I have not met the general for a long time and come to see you."

Liu Chang smiled and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Guo, for your concern. I am very happy to see the prefect today."

Then Guo Dian changed the subject and said, "But I want to know what your confidence is in this trip? After all, lying to be the emperor's special envoy is something that is easily exposed. I think the governor Liu would not be so unwise, right?"

Liu Chang replied mysteriously: "After my news reaches Luoyang, I am afraid the emperor will no longer be able to refute this matter. At that time, as long as I say that I have your Majesty's secret decree, there will be your Majesty's secret decree. No one can refute me."

After hearing this, Guo Dian understood Liu Chang's confidence, but he could not get news from Luoyang, so he could not tell whether what Liu Chang said was true or not. However, Liu Chang's all the things that have always happened made Guo Dian believe that everything he said was true and he was a little surprised: "Mr. Liu is really good at hand and eyes. You can even know such a secret matter. I think Liu Junzhu really has many secrets. Is it difficult for you to be General He?"

Liu Chang did not answer this question, but said with a smile: "Don't Prefect Guo think I am not? Just go as you think. However, since Prefect Guo already knows this, please make plans early."

Guo Dian suppressed his ups and downs and said self-deprecatingly: "Although I am still a figure outside, I am a small official in Luoyang, but I can't be even a small official. Is there any qualification to make plans early? But does County Governor Liu have anything to give me some advice?"

Liu Chang also said with the same expression: "I have no qualifications to guide you. I am still struggling in the mud. However, the turbulent city of Luoyang is not something that we can get involved now. Guo Taishou should not mislead himself."

The atmosphere fell into a brief silence. After a while, Guo Dian continued to speak: "I saw that the County Governor Liu knew a lot of things that ordinary people could not know, and I had already made my own decisions about the future. But even though County Governor Liu easily occupied Yecheng in his own hands, wait." As he said that, he deliberately vaguely continued: "After he succeeded to the throne, shouldn't this position be given up? Even if the general obeyed His Majesty's secret order, his subsequent position appointment will definitely change." As he said that, his expression was stunned and he murmured: "Is it?" Then he looked at Liu Chang in disbelief.

Liu Chang nodded and said, "I didn't say anything, but it is justified to strengthen my own strength. No matter how the situation develops, I can face it more calmly. Even if I can't become a chess player, I have to become a chess piece."

Guo Dian knew so many things today, and was shocked for a moment. He agreed with Liu Chang in a daze. But soon he figured out something, so he spoke with uncertainty: "The general has always had great ambitions. I wonder if the general wants to be Yi Yin? Or Wang Mang?"

As soon as these words were said, they were a little heartbroken. Liu Chang was silent for a while and said, "I wonder if Taishou Guo wants to be Shusun Tong or Bo Yi?"

Guo Dian suddenly smiled, as if he was relaxed, saying, "How can I be as good as such a wise man? I can only be Guo Dian. I can't do such great things."

Liu Chang also smiled and said, "I can't compare to those two people. I just want to protect myself first. After all, I have more brothers under my command now, so I have to find a good future for them."

"The brother of Liu Junjung has a bright future."

"Premier Guo and I are good friends, and we can be brothers."

"I am grateful to General Liu for his kindness, but I have to go back and think about it carefully."

"Then I'll ask Grandpa Guo to consider it well. The affection of you and my over the years cannot just disappear."

Guo Dian laughed and said, "Of course it won't disappear just like that. You and I have a life-long relationship. No matter what the result is, I will not be unfavorable to General Liu."

Liu Chang solemnly bowed to Guo Dian, and Guo Dian also replied, "Then I will go back first, I wish General Liu a good journey."

After saying that, he returned to Julu with his men.

Zhao Di asked Liu Chang with some concern: "Does the eldest brother trust Guo Dian so much? He told him such a big thing without any concealment. What if he leaked the news?"

Liu Chang looked at Guo Dian's distant figure and said, "I don't know if he is worthy of our trust, but I haven't done anything over the years. After trading with him for so many years, we have installed people in Julu. Now let's see if he can be trusted by us." Then he turned his head to Zhao Xin and said, "Let the people in Julu stare at Guo Dian's actions, and we will continue to go to Yecheng. Complete the goal first."
