Liu Qi received an urgent letter from Liu Cong.
Therefore, arrangements were made to expedite matters everywhere.
After all, all the countries in the West have noticed the situation here, and have united together to prepare to come here.
The situation is somewhat urgent.
They couldn't help but continue to dilly-dally, and they had to resolve everything.
Only in this way can we fully deal with the coalition forces of the Western countries.
Fortunately.
After unifying the Central Plains, preparations have been made.
If the Western countries had taken such actions when they first unified the Central Plains, things would have become difficult.
There is no guarantee that something like what later generations will experience will happen.
That's not what he wants, and he won't forgive himself even if he dies.
However.
Liu Qi ignored some things, and because he wanted Zhao Yun and others to speed up the processing of matters outside the customs, some unexpected changes occurred.
Liu Qi is in Chengdu.
The ministers who stayed in Chengdu with Li Ru, Guo Jia and other ministers were dealing with various affairs and arranging preparations for the expedition.
Half a year has not yet arrived, only more than three months have passed.
But a piece of very unfavorable news came to them.
That's it.
Liu Qi summoned Li Ru and Guo Jia into the palace and came to the imperial study to discuss matters.
"Now the latest news is coming back.
He was driven back to the land outside the pass by Emperor Wei, but under the pace of our army, the Huns Khan, who was fleeing in all directions, escaped to the Silk Road for some reason."
Speaking of which.
Liu Qi looked at Li Ru and Guo Jia with a solemn expression on his face, and continued: "In the past, this would have been nothing, but the bad thing is that the situation is different now, because the coalition forces of the Western countries are in We entered the Silk Road three months ago and headed towards the Central Plains."
"Your Majesty is saying that the Xiongnu Khan who escaped has joined the coalition forces of the Western countries," Li Ru asked.
There was also tension on his face.
In Liu Qi's words, he also heard the key point.
He didn't care that the Xiongnu Khan escaped.
What he cared about was the place where the Xiongnu Khan escaped.
Guo Jia also set his sights on Liu Qi.
Liu Qi frowned, nodded, agreed, and said: "That's right, Marquis Wen and his party originally withdrew from the Western countries.
In order to avoid being known whereabouts, they never followed the Silk Road. , but withdrew from the original route, also away from the coalition forces of the Western countries."
"But on the way, we met the Xiongnu Khan who was outside the pass and was being pressed hard by our army.
He didn't hesitate at all, and was ready to kill the Xiongnu Khan who fled, but he didn't expect that the Xiongnu Khan would flee.
He went out and was finally rescued by the coalition forces of Western countries."
"And with the existence of the Great Khan of the Huns, the coalition forces of the Western countries do not need to continue to go around on the Silk Road."
This is also what worries him the most.
It is also clear that this is the disaster caused by him.
Because the pressure is too tight, the land outside the customs is now basically under his control.
The enemies outside the pass either surrendered or died under his iron cavalry.
However, the Great Khan of the Xiongnu was very lucky and did not want to surrender, but he still survived.
He had no foothold outside the pass, so he continued to flee.
But he escaped to the Silk Road and met the coalition forces of Western countries.
And this is the most deadly thing.
Hear the words.
Li Ru and Guo Jia both had serious expressions on their faces, and their eyes also showed thoughts.

As the left and right prime ministers of Han Dynasty.
They all knew what bad consequences would occur if the Xiongnu Great Khan was rescued by the coalition forces of the Western countries.
He also clearly understands the seriousness of the situation.
"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, different arrangements need to be made," Guo Jia said.
Now that things have happened, it has become a foregone conclusion.
Then, there is no way to change it, we can only make arrangements and change plans.
"Your Majesty, I agree with what Prime Minister Guo said," Li Ru cupped his hands and said, "Now the land outside the Pass has basically been taken over by our army, and the people outside the Pass who have always made a living as nomads have gradually become more mature in the past two years of the campaign.
Once you live stably, you won't be a threat to anything.
The only thing left is how to be stable."
Hear the words of Li Ru and Guo Jia.
Liu Qi also nodded.
Because of the previous decision, Zhao Yun and others accelerated the cleaning of the land outside the pass, and they still made progress in the previous two years.
I was not familiar with the terrain outside the customs before.
Now there is a detailed map, and camps are being set up everywhere.
Some of the early ones have already built earthen cities.
This also shows that people outside the customs have gradually accepted this kind of life and settled down.
Even if you have any ideas in the future and want to encircle and suppress them, it will be much easier, and if you can live a peaceful life with enough food, clothing, and warmth, even people outside the customs will not want to continue to have any wars.
Unless it makes them dissatisfied.
In this way, the threat from outside the customs ceases to exist.
The original plan was to completely stabilize the situation outside the customs, eliminate various threats, and finally have a decisive battle with the coalition forces of the Western countries.
After all, the Silk Road was not that easy to walk and it was easy to get lost.
Moreover, since there are no leaders in the Western countries, it is still difficult to pass, so he can make various arrangements safely.
In the end, the Western countries found their way, and he was already ready.
But I didn't expect that the Great Khan of the Huns would appear.
This was a very big change.
With a guide and without a guide, it was not the same concept.
Think of this.
Then he said: "In this case, the matter cannot continue to be delayed.
Although the land outside the pass is not completely stable, there is not so much time now.
The most important thing at present is to solve the issue of the coalition forces of the Western countries. " Hear the words.
Li Ru and Guo Jia both nodded in agreement.
After all, what Liu Qi said was not wrong.
In comparison, the issues in the lands outside the Pass were not as important as the affairs of the coalition forces of the Western countries.
You know, although the land outside the pass has not been completely consolidated, it has been captured, but the coalition of Western countries has two million troops.
Even if there are imaginary numbers in it, it won't be that bad.
If the coalition forces of the Western countries are allowed to invade the Central Plains, there is no telling what will happen.
Those who are not of my race will be killed in their hearts.
And since the unification of the Central Plains. , They have always been prepared to sweep the lands outside the pass, and they only want to sweep the countries in the west.
Now it's just a little ahead of schedule.
But this is not an excuse for them to send troops on an expedition
