"Stop, stop, I know that you have to persuade ......" Seeing that everyone was going to come forward to persuade him, Liu Tao hurriedly stopped, "I will go over and fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and come back after the fight, how to fight the follow-up departments is up to them, and it will be a matter of two or three months before and after, so it's okay, right?" ”

Yes, of course! When it comes to this, if you don't give it to you, how do you feel like it's your fault?

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end you can only obediently accept this reality.

"Since it's okay, let's talk about the subordinates this time." Liu Tao confirmed that there was no objection, and then announced.

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses, and then silently waited for Liu Tao's orders. Especially in the household department and the military department, Liu Tao's decision directly affected their arrangements.

"First of all, Ma Teng is too idle during this time, will it be too boring to keep guarding Liangzhou?" Liu Tao thought for a while, "Let him divide two armies and horses, one into the Western Regions to explore, and gradually open up the Silk Road, this is a long-term task; The other team was placed in Northland County, on the edge of Xihe County. ”

"Yes!" Wang Kuang immediately received the order and then wrote it down. It's just very strange, this is to attack the Huns, not yet? After all, didn't he just issue an edict to let the Xiongnu Shan Yu bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight with the army?

"Taking advantage of this war, I will try to communicate with the Xiongnu, hoping that they will accept the principle of one country, two systems. If they do not accept it, then they can only be violently evicted or suppressed. Liu Tao explained.

From the merge state to Liangzhou, there are two states controlled by the Xiongnu in the middle, which is too troublesome.

Haven't you already surrendered to the big man, then it will be more thorough. Could it be that over the years, the big men have made them earn less?

Speaking of which, the ministers also understand the reason, so naturally they won't say anything.

"Zhang Fei sent troops from Yanmen to attack Daijun. In addition, it can't be said that he will fight, give Emperor Yanhan a letter of state, give him a chance, as long as he goes to the country to surrender now, then I will crown him as the king, and the six departments will be chosen by him! Liu Tao immediately announced.

Liu Bei, the emperor of the Yan Han Dynasty, is strictly speaking, a clan brother, and Liu Bei has a closer relationship than Liu Dai and Liu Chong. There used to be a time when I wanted to kill him, but now I don't think it matters.

After a pause, he continued: "Yuan Shao, over there, also send him a letter of state, so as not to say that we will not declare war." Let him prepare well, and we will kill him. ”

This baby is also sad, the capital is in Yecheng, from Hanoi past, less than a hundred miles to their capital. Don't talk about the past of Hanoi County, let's just say that Huguan is also very close to the past!

Speaking of which, I have received news before that Zhao Han plans to move the capital, and I don't know if he has moved.

If you can move the capital, where can you move it? Bohai Sea? Zhongshan? To the west and south, there is the Han court as a neighbor, and to the north there is the Yan and Han court as a neighbor, occupying Qingzhou is counted as one, but it is also within the attack range of the Han court.

In other words, it doesn't make much sense to move the capital wherever it goes. With that money, it's better to recruit more soldiers and then have a big battle.

"Yes!" Wang Kuang received the decree and felt that it was the same thing, and it was indeed unkind to fight without declaring it.

If you are facing Hu people, then you can ignore this problem, after all, if you talk about the rules, others may not talk to you about the rules. But they are all the forces of Chinese civilization, so the rules are still needed.

For example, if you fight a war, you must prepare the other side for the war after declaring war. In addition, when fighting, the opponent hangs up the war-free card, then it will be exempt from war for a period of time.

In the past, Liu Tao even felt that this was a bit stupid, for example, if he killed the past now, the other party would hang the exemption card and hang it directly for two or three months. Let's not consider whether the other party's supplies are enough, just say that after the winter, my own people have to retreat, right?

In this way, the other party survived another year. If you come to play again in the next year, and the other party hangs the war-free card, what else is there to play?!

Later, I learned that this kind of war-free card does not exist. However, although the war-free card is not there, it will still be criticized at the moral level if it is not declared. Of course, for some hegemons, they are not afraid of criticism on the moral level.

Liu Tao salutes first and then soldiers, which is nothing more than two meanings: one is upright, not afraid of the other party's preparation at all, or for Liu Tao, the other party has more soldiers and more experience in killing.

Another is to set a rule, if all forces want to go to war, they must first declare war. Otherwise, if he doesn't let the Ministry of Rites create a lot of public opinion, he will spray the other party to death before the battle has even started.

The fundamental reason is that you are not afraid, you can be tough and tough, then you can come in a dignified manner and play the prestige of the Han court.

"Lu Bu stayed behind to guard the Yanmen to the Baiyun area, and walked carefully to the roots!" Liu Tao reminded, "At the same time, a group of soldiers will be transferred and wait on the edge of Xihe County." ”

"Your Majesty, is there any change over there?" Huangfu Song was a little strange when he heard this.

"There was no move, not even a dozen days ago, just completed a border trade." Liu Tao shook his head, "The cattle and sheep are fine, the number of horses is obviously much less than usual." At the same time, the purchase of rhubarb and iron has decreased significantly. I have the right to suspect that they have found another trade partner......"

When Liu Tao said this, he couldn't help but look at Jia Xu. This information is an important piece of information that this person discovered in the huge pile of information. In normal times, it is estimated that there are few people who can deduce such information from the data of border trade.

The latter shrank his head, he had already shown it just now, and he really didn't want to be so conspicuous.

Seeing that Jia Xu planned to keep a low profile, Liu Tao could only continue to explain: "Bu Dugen has taken over Kebineng's territory, that is to say, it directly borders Yan Han and Jin. So he checked the situation in Youzhou and Jizhou, and found that Yuan Shao did obtain a batch of war horses some time ago to expand the cavalry. ”

The meaning was already clear, Xianbei and Yuan Shao got on the line and began to trade with them. Conversely, if Liu Tao and Yuan Shao go to war, then Xianbei may act as Yuan Shao's help and launch an attack on the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, it is necessary to leave Lu Bu behind, on the one hand, to deter the Southern Xiongnu, and on the other hand, to guard against the Xiongnu going south. When Zhang Fei is transferred out, the rear needs Lu Bu, the general of Zhenbei, to guard it.

As long as this battle is successfully completed, Lu Bu will naturally have his share of the credit, even no less than the army fighting on the front line.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone could only echo it, they had never thought of this possibility.

At least in the eyes of many people, Xianbei is not to worry, they are busy receiving and stabilizing Kebineng's territory, but they are afraid that it will be too late, how is it possible, there is still extra energy to fight against the big Han, and it is too long?

Maybe it's just that it's too long, but passive defense and active defense are different in the end, and Liu Tao's arrangement is indeed useful.

"There's nothing left to say, Huang Zhong and the Praetorian Guards set out with me. General Anton's headquarters was assembled at Guandu and went north at any time. I want to see if Yuan Shao will fight us in Jizhou or in Guandu! Liu Tao solemnly announced.
