Since the harvest of Linggu and the completion of the college.

Dahan has entered a steady and orderly development, and at the same time a rapid development.

The harvest of Linggu is related to the people's livelihood, so that the Han will not fall into famine again, and the completion of the college is related to the talent selection of the Dahan, so as to prepare for the opening of the imperial examination by Liu Xie in the future.

Time flies.

Spring ploughing, autumn harvest, and another few months have passed, and it is winter.

After pacifying the alien race and destroying the chaotic country, the Han Dynasty entered the stage of cultivation and recuperation, with no internal worries and no external troubles, which can be called the strongest and prosperous era in the Central Plains for so many years.

Winter, the end of the year.

Liu Xie has been on the throne for two years since he was supported by Dong Zhuo.

It took only two years to change a Han dynasty that had entered its twilight into such a scene, reproducing the peak of the past, such courage and transcendence that even Qin Shi Huang could not do.

Winter, heavy snow, very cold.

Almost the entire Han Dynasty was shrouded in white snow, and the Han Dynasty also became a snow country.

As the saying goes, Ruixue is a good year, perhaps this heavy snow is the confirmation of the sky's development of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, there would have been countless hungry people in such a season, and the displaced people would have frozen to death in this freezing weather, but now this situation is no more, there will be no more hungry people, and the displaced people have been resettled by the local government.

Luoyang.

Although it was winter and the snow was falling, the court meetings that affected the people of the world did not stop.

The palace is in the palace, and the court hall is in the hall.

"Ministers see the king, may the king live long, long live, long live. The civil and military officials shouted in unison, and in the cold weather, the shouts of the ministers exhaled bursts of heat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be flat. Liu Xie stretched out his hands and said loudly.

"Thank you, King Shanglongen. The ministers said in unison.

"There is a play, and there is no retreat. Hou Li's chamberlain next to Liu Xielong's chair shouted loudly.

"The king of Qi, the minister has his roots. Cao Cao held the wat in his hand and stood up respectfully.

Cao Aiqing said. Liu Xie waved his hand.

"Back to the king, now I am in the Han Dynasty and the people are safe, all states and counties are extremely stable, this year, the minister has arranged for officials to pacify the bandits, now not to say that the bandits are all fixed, but nine out of ten of the evil bandits in the world have been pacified, and now I have more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in each state of the Han Dynasty, and the minister feels that the soldiers and horses in the states can be integrated, and there is no need to leave too many soldiers and horses in the states. Cao Cao said respectfully.

"What you say, Gu understands. Liu Xie nodded.

Now there are thirteen states in Dahan.

There are 80,000 soldiers and horses in each state, even if you don't count the five elite legions of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of the thirteen states add up to one million, but under the now stable Han Dynasty, one million soldiers and horses is a bit too much.

"There are not many soldiers, but refinement. ”

"Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong... Where are the five generals?" Liu Xie said loudly.

"The minister is here. The five generals immediately stood up.

"Now that there are only 80,000 soldiers in the five major legions, Lone has decided to expand the number of soldiers in each legion to 150,000, and Lone gives you the right to go to various states and counties to select soldiers, and you must complete the expansion of the legion by the autumn harvest of the new year. Liu Xie immediately made an order.

The five elite legions are the main force of Liu Xie's cross-border expedition in the future, and they must expand their strength.

"Commandment. The five generals gladly received the order.

"The king of the initiation, and the ministers also have this music. Xun Yu stood up and said respectfully.

Xun Aiqing said. Liu Xie stared.

"Back to the king, a year ago, my Han Dynasty defeated the foreign races strongly, destroyed the foreign races, and the prestige has spread all over the world, and even the countries of the Western Regions and even the surrounding island countries, and now it is the year of my Han Dynasty is approaching, and the countries have sent envoys to bring tribute to worship the king, and now the envoys are placed in the palace post house, dare to ask the king if he has received it?" Xun Yu asked respectfully.

"When my great man was weak, I did not see them come to worship, but now that my great man has regained his former majesty, they have come. ”

Hearing that the envoys sent by the countries came to meet him, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile coldly, full of mockery.

The Western Regions is not big, but there are more than a dozen countries, all of which are small countries, the largest of which should be only a state of the Han Dynasty, and the smallest should only be a county, the strength is clear, but compared with the Han Dynasty, it is the difference between dragons and ants.

The reason why I worship the Han is only because of one point, the Han Dynasty destroyed the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other foreign races fiercely a few years ago, and this powerful strength made the countries of the Western Regions fearful, for fear that the Han would send troops to destroy them, so they hurriedly brought tributes to worship and show favor to the Han.

"In addition to the countries of the Western Regions, there are also island countries?" Liu Xie suddenly came back to his senses and asked with a slight frown.

"Returning to the king, in addition to the foreign countries of the Western Regions, in the East China Sea of our Han Dynasty, there are two countries consisting of four islands, all of which have sent envoys to worship, one country is called Yamatai, and the other country is called Dog Slave Country. Xun Yu replied respectfully.

"Interesting, really interesting. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie's face put a sneer on his face.

Past.

Liu Xie may be able to be a member of the angry youth, and he has a natural hatred for the island country to the east.

And the Evil Horse Terrace and the Dog Slave Country don't need to think about it, they are the predecessors of the island country in the later generations.

Now.

Liu Xie, as the lord of the Han Dynasty, has monstrous power, which is enough to easily destroy this island country.

"Lonely wants to see what tricks they have to play. Liu Xie sneered in his heart.

Come back to your senses.

Liu Xie said to Xun Yu: "First summon the envoys of the Western Regions countries to enter the palace, and as for the island country, we will see you later." ”

"Commandment. Xun Yu immediately received the order and sent people down to bring the envoys of the Western Regions countries.

Not for a while.

More than a dozen people wearing various costumes of the Western Regions came to the main hall, and at first glance, there were some obvious differences from the Han family.

"Meet the King of the Celestial Empire, may the King of the Celestial Dynasty live long live, long live, long live. ”

After more than a dozen envoys from the Western Regions entered the main hall, they directly made a five-body bow to Liu Xie, expressing their absolute surrender.

"Look up. Liu Xie said coldly, and did not let these people stand up.

Smell.

These envoys raised their heads in horror and looked at Liu Xie on the high seat in awe.

"More than ten years ago, the countries of the Western Regions cut off their submission to my Han Dynasty, how can they now call it the Celestial Empire and come to pay tribute?" Liu Xie asked indifferently.

"Back to the king of the Heavenly Dynasty, my Loulan has been a vassal of the Han Dynasty since ancient times, the reason why I did not come to pay tribute in the past was because of the obstruction of the Xiongnu and other tribes, and now the king of the Han Dynasty is brave and invincible, and the Huns have been destroyed, so I Loulan can come to meet the king. One of the messengers immediately explained in trepidation.

His voice fell.

The envoys of more than a dozen other Western Regions countries spoke one after another.

"Please the king of the Han Dynasty on Mingjian, my Wusun country is also loyal to the Han since ancient times, this time my king sent a villain to pay tribute, in order to show my Wusun's sincerity to the Han. ”

"The king is angry, and my country is the same, and my loyalty to the Han is sincere......"

These envoys from the Western Regions countries opened their mouths to explain, trying to make Liu Xie change his opinion of their country.

......
