Chapter 424: Preparation for the Expedition
After arranging the problems in the rear, Liu Tao handed over the government affairs to Xun Yu, and then handed over the Jinyiwei to Jia Xu to help take it. The first task was to supervise the work of the Division during their absence.
There are always people who feel that when he leaves the state, he can start doing whatever he wants. Liu Tao didn't mind teaching these people a little lesson when he came back.
"Fengxian, Yun Chang and Gongji, the three of you will go south with me." Liu Tao immediately ordered generals, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry and cavalry archers, and the three troops were enough.
"Whoa!" The three of them came out of the ranks, with happy faces. Everyone already knows that this time it is the common alliance of the princes of the world, and the clan that entered Luoyang first is the new Han Emperor. It is an honor to be able to participate in such a grand event.
Maybe one day in the future, their names will even be recorded in the history books because of this alliance.
"Brother, I want to go too......" Zhang Fei came out of the ranks, somewhat awkward, why could Lu Bu go, but he couldn't.
"You are still the governor of the state, you went, who will take care of the house? Leave everything to Cangshan? Liu Tao asked rhetorically. The four brothers went to three, Lu Yan is still too shou in the clouds, how can he be in the field? Don't come back, it's all turned upside down!
"But ......" Zhang Fei also knew this truth, but he was still aggrieved.
"Which is more important, the false name of the alliance and the actual interests of the state?" Liu Tao had to emphasize.
"Okay......" Zhang Fei just didn't believe that Lu Bu could participate, and he also wanted to show off. Fortunately, he didn't know the severity, and he didn't hesitate much, so he agreed.
In Bingzhou, Zhang Fei was in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, promoting ondols, and even vigorously repairing and expanding the local irrigation system during the later farming slack. Secretly, the Jinyi Guard is responsible for supervising the hundred officials, and then recording them in the book.
In this way, one light and one darkness can be prevented, I hope that there is no one who is really bold enough to jump out and look for death. Jin Yiwei appeared for the first time, but he wanted to use his head to stand up!
"In terms of military divisions...... Guo Jia, Xin Bi and Chen Gong accompanied the army. Liu Tao looked at Wen Chen's side.
Chen Gong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this should be his first time going out with the army. I always thought that I didn't have this opportunity, but I didn't expect that my luck was quite good, and the first time I joined the army, I encountered such a big battle.
"In addition, Liu Ge, Ma Dai, Zhao Yun and Zhang He are with the army." Liu Tao immediately announced.
The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly became excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to respond: "Oh! ”
"The rest of the crowd stay behind and watch out for our neighbors, who may take advantage of it at any moment." Liu Tao commanded.
"Whoa!" The people who were not able to follow the army responded one after another, and they knew very well that this so-called 'neighbor' was referring to Xianbei. It was not the Southern Xiongnu, because of this expedition, Liu Tao invited Yu Fuluo to go on the expedition together.
Yu Fuluo expressed his obedience, and sent Hu Chuquan, the king of Zuoxian, and the king of Youxian, to lead a thousand Hun cavalry to Beibei.
This Liu Tao learned a little about it, and it is said that he is the uncle of Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, and the younger brother of Qiangqu Shan Yu. Qubei is said to be a radical, and he was appointed as the king of Youxian, probably to appease the radicals in the Southern Xiongnu.
Or, with the help of him to deter, let this right virtuous king obediently admit it. I have to say that after Yu Fuluo became Shan Yu, he actually knew how to play political means.
Incidentally, in order to show his closeness, Yu Fuluo took a Chinese name called Liu Fu, which means that he belongs to the Han surnamed Liu.
However, this name sounds like a pun, whether it is attached to Liu Han or Liu Han, it is difficult to say. Anyway, what position the two sides are in, the name should have any meaning.
It's not that you just take a surname, but the Yufuluo family does have a little bit of Han clan blood.
It is rumored that Liu Fu, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was captured during the Northern Expedition to the Huns, and then had a child in the territory of the Huns.
Qubei is Yu Fuluo's uncle, and the corpse is Yu Fuluo's great-grandfather, so Yu Fuluo is naturally surnamed Liu. The real name is Luan Ti Yufuluo, the Chinese name is Liu Yufuluo, and the more thorough Chinese name is Liu Fu, which means that.
For Liu Tao, the Xiongnu took the initiative to take the Han name is a good start, which can make the sinicization go more smoothly.
The fact that the Southern Xiongnu sent people does not mean that they are not afraid of their backlash. I can't say that Yu Fuluo is planning to borrow his hand to kill Qubei and Huchuquan. It is Liu Tao's habit to speculate on the enemy with the greatest malice.
Therefore, it is only natural to leave enough soldiers and horses to face all kinds of possible situations......
However, if he brought thousands of soldiers and horses south in one go, whether he would be a little arrogant, Liu Tao didn't think about it at all. has the ability to let him be a pioneer, he doesn't mind, in his opinion, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are living experience packages.
If you win a battle, you can gain a batch of experience, how can such a good thing be snatched away by others?
As for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu stumbling behind their backs...... Basic operation, basic operation, nothing to fuss about.
"Since there is no problem, then go back immediately to prepare and set off tomorrow!" Liu Tao saw that the matter had been ordered, so he officially issued an order.
"Whoa!" The people gladly accepted the order, and then went back to get ready.
"Wen Ruo, when I come back, Lu Yan will be transferred to you as your deputy......" Liu Tao immediately stopped Xun Yu and discussed this matter with him.
"It just so happens that my subordinates also need a few deputies." Xun Yu not only had no opinion on this, but even had a sense of relief. Maybe it seems to him.
As Liu Taoyi's younger brother, it is natural for Lu Yan to hold an important position, but he, a latecomer who came later and is only 27 years old this year, is somewhat panicked by stealing the position he is engaged in in governance. So much so that I have to concentrate on doing everything well, and I feel that people are a few years older, and they are no longer as personable as they were three years ago.
"When the time comes, there will be two deputies to assist you in all kinds of affairs. One is Lu Yan, and the other is promoted by you. Liu Tao also appropriately gave Xun Yu some power.
"Subordinates go back and think about it." Xun Yu nodded, Lu Yan didn't say it, the other one must really be able to help him. In fact, he has already been selected, that is, his brother Xun Yue, who is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, and Xun Yue does have this ability.
Xun Yue has served as a waiter in history, this is the close attendant of the Son of Heaven, and his duties are actually secretarial work. With Xun Yue as his deputy, he can indeed help Xun Yu in various senses.
At the same time, Xun Yue has been snubbed by Liu Tao because of his refusal to serve as the editor-in-chief. Otherwise, if Xun Yue continues, at most, he will be engaged in a type of literary position, which is relatively boring and has no possibility of progress. I was too cautious at the beginning, and I obviously took a wrong step.
"Everything works...... By the way, in Binh Duong and Hanoi counties, the official seals and documents of the new Taishou have also been prepared a little. After Liu Tao finished speaking, he turned around and left.
