Zhuge Liang took a step forward and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, now with Cao Zhi's surrender, Cao Wei's forces have completely come to an end, and the demise of Li Tang, who is still alive in Liaodong, is only a matter of an instant. ” Liu Wei had already discussed the matter of cutting troops with Zhuge Liang, and now Zhuge Liang stood up just to throw bricks and lead the jade, Liu Wei stroked his beard at the moment, looking like he was listening attentively.
"Not counting the 800,000 expeditionary troops of the western expedition to Rome, there are currently nearly 700,000 soldiers in Hanoi County, 300,000 under the command of Li Yaoshi in Bohai County, and more than 400,000 soldiers in the Tang Kingdom.
Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand and talked eloquently.
Liu Wei Huoran got up, paced back and forth in the center of the hall, and stroked his beard with emotion: "I thought that I fled from Luoyang in a panic back then, but fortunately, thanks to the escort of Concubine Mu Xian, I was saved from Dong Zhuo's poisonous hands.
Panicked like a lost dog fled to Jiangdong, to Liu Xuan for a piece of land, no more than 10,000 soldiers, no more than ten, more than ten years in the snap of a finger, the total strength of my Han actually exceeded 2 million, more than 1,000 generals, the territory is thousands of miles, I didn't dare to think about it."
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles."
The horse can be crossed, and the horse can be poetry, so as to achieve this unprecedented hegemony" "Haha, I didn't expect Kong Ming that you would also shoot my sycophants" Liu Wei stroked his beard and laughed, his laughter was hearty and domineering, "This is not Zhuge Liang who has no last resort in my mind, if you want to say that the credit naturally has my share, but it is more dependent on the bloody battlefield of the soldiers to get it back" Zhuge Liang cut back to the topic and said solemnly: "The army of more than two million people has spent countless money and food, and when the wolf smoke is everywhere, the more soldiers the better, but now with the fall of Tang and Wei, disarmament is imperative." ” Chen Ping, Zhu Sheng, Xu Shu and others echoed one after another: "What Kong Ming said is extremely true, the two million army has brought a huge burden to the imperial court financially, but fortunately, the imperial court and colleagues in various states and counties have worked together to ensure the supply of materials and food, and the people have been overwhelmed.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, the world is about to be peaceful, and the matter of disarmament must be put on the agenda."
Liu Wei bowed his head and said: "Zhongqing is reasonable, with the fall of Tang Wei, it is time to enter Kuma and put Nanshan."
However, the Roman Empire in the West was still strong, and I believed that hundreds of thousands of elites should be selected to conquer Rome before disarmament, and assist Wu Qi and Yue Fei in annihilating the last powerful enemy in the world. ” Xue Rengui, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and other generals echoed one after another: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the two empires of Anxi and Kushan have been included in the territory, how can Rome be able to fight against the courtiers and others who are willing to work tirelessly, lead hundreds of thousands of heroes to expedition to the Western Regions, and let the banner of my Han Dynasty be planted in the palace of Rome, so that the territory of the Han Dynasty will encompass the whole world."
Liu Wei high-fived and praised: "The courage of the generals is commendable, I am deeply grateful, I decided to carefully select 600,000 soldiers, divided into two corps, Keri expedition to the west, to assist Wu and Yue two generals to sweep Rome, and truly achieve world domination" "The ministers respectfully obey Your Majesty's orders," the hall bowed and waited for Liu Wei to give an order.
Liu Wei immediately made a decision, with Zhuge Liang as the chief general of the First Army, Guan Yu and Sun Wu as deputy generals, and led Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei, Zhang Liao, Guan Ping, Guan Ling, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Ma Dai, Qin Liangyu, Cheng Yanjin, Zhong Wuyan, Xu Ning and others to select 300,000 elite soldiers from the whole army to march westward, cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and conquer Rome westward.
"The ministers obey the holy decree, and are willing to work hard with the generals to destroy Rome" Zhuge Liang happily accepted the order, and Guan Yu, Ma Chao and other generals surrendered their promises.
Liu Wei also ordered a letter to be revised to Li Jing, who was in the stable place of Nanpi, and ordered him to lead Xue Rengui, Xu Da, Han Shizhong, Gao Gao, Yujuluo, Qin Huaiyu, Hua Mulan, Guan Sheng, Yang Yanzhao, Zhang Xun, Zhu Huan, Liang Hongyu, Han Baohu and others to select 300,000 soldiers and horses, follow the footsteps of Zhuge Liang's army to the west, and strive to pacify the Roman division and return to the dynasty as soon as possible.
After arranging the Western Expeditionary Army, Liu Wei ordered Chen Ping to be responsible for contacting Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Sizhou, Bingzhou and other prefectures to supply the army with food and grass, and to ensure the logistics supply of the Western Expeditionary Army.
Liu Wei finally ordered Xu Shu, Wei Yan, Wei Jiang, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Huo Jun, Hu Sanniang and others to form a disarmament yamen, and later added Wei Qing, Bai Qi, and Lu Xun who were far away in Goryeo, and cut the remaining million troops by half, leaving 500,000.
After the whole country is completely stabilized and the bandits and bandits are eliminated, the total strength of the entire Han Empire will be maintained at about one million, so that the family can defend the country and defend the imperial court.
At the end of the military discussion, the generals went about their work, busy but not chaotic, and everything was in order.
Zhuge Liang, Sun Wu and Guan Yu selected 300,000 elite soldiers to bid farewell to the Son of Heaven, crossed the Yellow River west to Yongliang, and prepared to go to Rome thousands of miles away.
Liu Wei personally sent more than ten miles away, and said to Zhuge Liang and the soldiers: "This is going to Rome, thousands of miles, all the way to snow, rain, wind and frost, the soldiers have to suffer on the road, I am waiting for you to return triumphantly in Jinling."
Zhuge Liang and the generals bid farewell to the Son of Heaven and swore an oath: "The place where the horse's hooves step is the Han land."
Everywhere the flag is pointed, it is all the Han Domain, and the ministers will definitely live up to their mission when they go to Rome."
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, the dust covered the sun, and the flag covered the sky, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Sun Wu and others led 300,000 soldiers to bid farewell to the Son of Heaven and the ministers, all the way to the west, and went to Yongliang.
Only a few days after Zhuge Liang's army set out, Li Jing led his soldiers to Huai County, and after paying homage to the Son of Heaven, he carefully selected 100,000 soldiers from Hanoi, and Xue Rengui and Han Shizhong led the army to bid farewell to the Son of Heaven, and took another route to embark on the journey of the westward expedition to Rome.
After the two armies set out, Liu Wei waved his pen and decided to appoint Chen Gong as the assassin of Youzhou, Zhu Sheng as the assassin of Jizhou, and Bao Zheng, who was serving as Chang'an Yin in Chang'an, went to Bingzhou to serve as the assassin of Bingzhou; And set up Bangzhou on the Korean Peninsula, and Guan Zhong went to serve as the assassin and govern the place.
Half a month later, the Western Expeditionary Army had arrived in Chang'an, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers were stationed in Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places to assist in appeasing the place, clearing out bandits, and ranking the people.
Seeing that it was already October, and the early winter was coming, Liu Wei decided to leave Zhang Liang as the assassin of Sizhou to govern Luoyang and other counties, and he took Fan Lihua and Wenyang to lead 50,000 soldiers south to Jinling, and the class returned to the dynasty.
The army crossed the Yellow River and marched to the east, Cao Zhi, Fan Li, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Cao Bin, Cao Di, Wang Ling, Jia Kui and other prisoners were all escorted with the army, and waited for the arrival of Jinling to wait for the fall. t1706231537:
