The battle is to be fought, but Liu Xie is not prepared to make a big move, go to the army to fight, the current imperial court is facing the problem of northern Xinjiang and Xiliang at the same time, and send troops on a large scale, even if it wins, it is a tragic victory, not to mention the loss of not much national strength, it will take time to restore the vitality of this battle.
Now that the momentum of the imperial court has just risen, Liu Xie has just straightened out the internal situation, to further establish and enhance the prestige of the imperial court, every external action, can only win, not defeat, so to be more cautious, without a perfect certainty, Liu Xie will never easily use troops externally.
Lu Bu left with Wei Yan, eight thousand people and horses traveled, no matter how to hide it, Liu Xie did not plan to hide it, on the twentieth day of September, tens of thousands of war horses gathered outside Chang'an City plus the eight thousand elites transferred back from Lanchi earlier, set off in a mighty way, without requisitioning people, and naturally there was no logistics line, which made many people quite disappointed.
"Your Majesty, I don't know where Marquis Wen is going on this expedition" Yang Biao and other ministers did not hold back after all, and began to inquire in the court early the next morning.
"Go to the Hetao first, and then go straight to Xianbei."
Liu Xie said solemnly, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, this Manchu Dynasty minister is also qualified to know about this matter, and this time, Lu Bu has no specific plan for the expedition, the grain and grass are all up to him, as for the route, there is no fixed route, that is, the imperial court wants to contact Lu Bu, and can only wait for Lu Bu to contact in one direction, even if someone in the court secretly communicates with Xianbei, there is no way to leak Lu Bu's whereabouts.
"Recently, Xianbei has frequently attacked the garrison of our court in Hetao, with more than 1,000 casualties, and even cut off the trade route of my Han family in the Western Regions, provoking the majesty of my Han family.
Liu Xie said solemnly.
No matter what the real reason is, but this time, I don't know what the hidden purpose of the Xianbei people is, but this frequent plundering of the Han caravan is cruel and ruthless, and it really offends the opportunity of many people, just desperate to rob the caravan is enough to make people including the family hate the same enemy, after all, it is not only the Chamber of Commerce established by Liu Xie who is engaged in the Western Regions, but also the major families who have trade with the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty wants to follow the plan of destroying the Huns in the past and attack the Xianbei royal court" Yang Biao frowned and said, if this is the case, it is not easy to succeed, even if it is Lu Bu, after all, it was able to successfully defeat the Xiongnu royal court in one fell swoop, there are many external factors, such as the main force of the Xiongnu going south, the defense of the royal court is weak, Lu Bu is unexpected, but this time if you want to copy, it is not easy, even if Xianbei is only one of the three now, it is by no means the Han Dynasty for many years, and it is no longer comparable to the brave Huns.
And on the grassland, it is their home field, even if Lu Bu is known as a flying general, he is alone and deep, and it is difficult to hit with one hit.
"Not really."
Liu Xie said indifferently: "I have already ordered that except for the Xianbei royal court, all the Xianbei tribes that appear in the sight of our Han army can attack, and the troops will sweep the territory, and I will use the blood of the enemy's entire clan to tell them the consequences of committing a strong man." ” Liu Xie's attitude was very indifferent, as if he was talking about an inconsequential trivial matter, but when the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Liu Xie's indifferent expression, there was an indescribable chill in his heart.
Such an understatement is a bloody storm for the grassland, even if Lu Bu's entire army is wiped out in the end, it will also be a loss for the Han Dynasty, but for Xianbei, the damage that these 8,000 people can cause is enough to make them break their muscles and bones.
Liu Xie naturally didn't know what these people thought, and he didn't think that this battle would really wipe out the whole army, Lu Bu's talent as a flying general, how much combat power he could exert in this kind of battle, I'm afraid even Lu Bu himself couldn't tell, and if it was really impossible, Liu Xie didn't want those 8,000 soldiers to fold on the grassland.
After all, those are all elites, even if they exchange the entire Xianbei, Liu Xie will feel a little pity, with Lu Bu's ability, plus Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, even if they can't be beaten, just run, this is a guerrilla war, whoever runs fast will be the winner.
"Your Majesty is worried about Wen Hou" After the court meeting, Liu Xie did not return to the palace immediately, although Lu Lingju would not say anything, but the resentful gaze made Liu Xie a little unbearable.
After Guo Jia dispersed the dynasty, he didn't know where to run, as Chang'an City gradually returned to prosperity, many industries also re-emerged, for a bachelor like Guo Jia, if no one took care of Qin Lou Chuguan, he could treat it as a home, and it was the kind that didn't give money, his money was not low, but it was used to exchange for wine, and the hero wine began to be put into the people after the grain began to have a surplus, but the price, it was difficult for people from non-families to drink often, but for Guo Jia, this is not a thing, Half of the restaurants in the entire Chang'an City are his creditors, and more than half of the families regard him as the most unpopular scholar.
Because if this goods are shameless, they have more than once dragged a flattered child of the family to drink, and when it comes to the checkout, there are usually various ways to disappear for no reason, and after a long time, except for those big families who are really wealthy and don't mind raising an extra wine barrel, small and medium-sized families can't afford Guo Jia to play like this.
Compared with Guo Jia's outstanding talent, this ability to pit people is also a headache for Liu Xie, and the current wine money paid by the imperial court for Guo Jia is enough to pay Guo Jia for the next five years.
Although Liu Xie didn't care about the money, Guo Jia's body, Liu Xie didn't want this Dionysian strategist to die young.
Fortunately, Wushisan has quit under Liu Xie's strong intervention, but if it continues to be tossed like this, Liu Xie estimates that this hero wine alone can make Guo Jia not know how to fold his lifespan for decades.
"I'm a little worried, but the battle on the battlefield, the return of the horse leather shroud, is the fate of the general, some things, since the decision has been made, there is no possibility of taking it back."
Changing the order of the dynasty will only frustrate the prestige of Emperor Liu Xie.
"Wen He has recently looked through the information of the Xianbei people" Liu Xie walked on the cloister, shook his head and said: "I am very curious, what is the ability of Han Wenyue to be able to make friends with Na Qianman and Putou at the same time" Among the information about Guan Yu Xiliang that has been received recently, there are two things that Liu Xie is very concerned about, the first is that Han Sui and Xianbei, the leaders of the two major forces now, are currently very close to Shan Yu Putou and Lian's son Qian Man.
Even Liu Xie suspected that Putou had frequently looted the Han caravan recently, and there was no shadow of Han Sui in it.
As for Qianman's side, there is not much valuable information recently, only that Qianman is secretly strengthening his own power, looking for some Xianbei old troops who are dissatisfied with Putou's notice, in order to regain Shan Yu's position.
These are all the information he can collect about Xianbei so far.
"Between countries, many times, diplomacy is more important than war.
Han Wen asked this person, quite good at this, in order to strengthen himself, he did not hesitate to sell Beigong Boyu to seek wealth, should have been rejected by the Qiang people, but in less than ten years, he not only became a warlord of one side, but also had many Qiang tribes under him to support him, this person, may not have Ma Teng, Ma Chao's bravery, but if you talk about means, it is much more clever than the two.
Jia Xu laughed.
"This person, there is a possibility of subduing" Liu Xie nodded, during this time, looking at Han Sui's resume, he was quite optimistic about this person's ability.
"It's difficult" Jia Xu shook his head: "This person has ambition, does not care about the success or failure of the moment, maybe under the pressure of His Majesty, he may temporarily surrender, but unlike the princes of the Central Plains, this person has been in the border for a long time, and has contacts with the countries of the Western Regions and Xianbei. ” "As for this humble matter, since Putou dared to invade the Hetao unscrupulously, the minister thought that I am afraid that this person was in the middle of the reconciliation, so that Qianman and Putou temporarily gave up their hatred and prepared to unanimously attack our Han Dynasty.
"Join forces" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu incredulously, frowned, and said: "That Qianman actively gathered the old department, and even recruited troops in the Jinlianchuan area, not to deal with Putou, but" "Other than that, it's hard to explain."
Jia Xu said solemnly: "Yes, the minister doesn't think that Han Sui may surrender, but he will rebel over time."
Liu Xie was silent, if it was the heyday of the Han Dynasty, it didn't matter, but now the Han Dynasty only has an audience, and his strength is weak.
The atmosphere became a little dull, and Liu Xie suddenly smiled: "Recently, I have received something interesting. ” "I want to hear about it."
Jia Xu bowed.
"The people of Xiliang have been widely spreading the matter of Ma Teng's entry into the court recently, thinking that Ma Teng's entry into the court is that the court cannot allow the Ma family to monopolize Xiliang, and they have the intention of causing harm."
Liu Xie found a pavilion and sat down, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Yiwen He, after a while, will there be direct rumors that Ma Teng was executed by me?"
Jia Xu's expression moved, and he looked at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to subdue Xiliang." ” "These public opinions" Liu Xie shook his head and said: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and now that public opinion has been formed, it is not easy to reverse it." ” "Definitely."
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The minister's intention is to add fuel to the fire, so that Ma Chao really thinks that Ma Teng is harmed by the imperial court" Jia Xu shook his head and said with a smile.
Liu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Jia Xu, and suddenly smiled: "Wen He's plan is quite vicious, this is forcing Han Sui to rebel." ” t1706231537:
