Luoyang, the Imperial Palace

The little fat man read the proclamation in front of him, his face gradually darkened, and his whole body trembled slightly, Song Dian was on the side, frightened, lowered his head, took a few steps back, did not dare to disturb, hurriedly finished reading the proclamation, the little fat man angrily slammed the proclamation on the ground, his face was red, and he roared angrily: "I want to personally cut off the dog's head of the sandalwood locust!" ”

Song Dian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be angry."

The little fat man sat on the top seat, his eyes were faintly shining with tears, he was distressed, and sat sluggishly for a while, before he looked at Song Dian and ordered: "Come over in a hurry, I want to hold a court meeting!" ”

Song Dian walked out cautiously, the little fat man sat alone in the main hall, his heart was full of grief, but he thought about Duan Xi's recital, seize the grassland outside the Saiwai, expand the territory, Duan Xi actually has this confidence to expand the territory, which shows that he is obviously capable of defeating the Xianbei left-behind forces, but the question is, is it worth it to conquer this area.

If this land cannot be cultivated or cultivated, and a large amount of funds from the imperial court will be consumed every year to maintain it, and the army will be stationed to defend the border, then it will be worth the loss, but if this land can bring benefits to the Han Dynasty, then the little fat man will also support Duan Xi to take this area, and these still need to be negotiated with his ministers.

When the hundred officials slowly arrived at the main hall, they all felt the strange atmosphere in the palace, and the little yellow doors trembled with fright, even if Song Dian, the most powerful eunuch in the palace, was also cold, and the ministers guessed in their hearts that it was probably related to the frontier battle, could it be that the Han army was defeated? If it is defeated, it will be too terrible, Duan Xi is leading the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty!

The ministers were speculating, whispering exchanges, the little fat man walked in angrily, walking, it was all the prestige of the superior, the courtiers got up one after another, waiting for the Son of Heaven to take a seat, the Son of Heaven sat down with the superior, the ministers bowed and greeted, and then sat down again, Yuan Ping got up, stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Fu is a thief, and the master of ceremonies in Yangzhou is reckless, making the people of Yangzhou unhappy, and mourning all over the wilderness!" ”

"Your Majesty! Please cook the King's Day letter!! ”

"Your Majesty!! Please cook the King's Day letter!! ”

The little fat man waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "I know, okay, let's start the court discussion directly!" ”

The ministers took their seats again, and this was the beginning of the real court discussion.

"Take this proclamation and take a look!!" , The little fat man ordered the little yellow door Xun You to hand over the proclamation to the courtiers below, Xun You has been with the little fat man these days, and has won the love of the little fat man, and even this proclamation is copied by Xun You himself, Xun You gave these to many courtiers, He Xiu took a copy, looked at it for a while, and then threw it on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Please allow me to rush to Liangzhou!! He Xiu gritted his teeth and said.

"He Shi Xianbei has been defeated, Tanshi Huai will be sent to the capital soon" The little fat man was saying, suddenly, He Xiu's body shook, the corners of his mouth surged blood, and he fell backwards, the little fat man jumped up, rushed over, or Xun Yu was closer to him, saw He Xiu fall to the ground, and immediately supported him, the little fat man hurriedly ran to his side and held him up.

"Gong Zhang, also gone" He Xiu muttered, he looked at the surrounding ministers with some sadness, among the ministers, there was no one of his peers, great loneliness, the little fat man's face was eager, Song Dian immediately called the imperial doctor's order, the imperial doctor's order hurriedly came, checked for a moment, the ministers were also a little anxious to look at, the imperial doctor ordered for a moment, and said: "Angry and angry, you need to recuperate!" ”

"He Shi Mo is angry, I will definitely cut the sandalwood acacia with a thousand knives to sacrifice the soul of Zhang Gong, so that he can recuperate and recuperate" The little fat man said, He Xiu's fall to the ground made him frightened, he lost his mother, the old lady, Zhang Gong, uncle, and now, only in the face of He Xiu, can he speak freely, without concealment, he is only left with a He Shi The little fat man immediately ordered Yu Linlang to take He Shi back to rest.

After sending Master He away, the little fat man looked a little worried.

The ministers also cried bitterly, expressing their condolences to Zhang Gong, and then they began to discuss the future affairs of Zhang Gong, such as sealing and so on, the little fat man sighed sadly, and said: "These things, and after the end of the war, we will discuss again, Duan Jun played, to capture Xianbei land, I don't know what your opinions are?" The western Xianbei land is the Helan Mountain area, also known as Alxa.

The central part is called the new Qinzhong, and the eastern part is called Shengle, which is the hometown of the Xiongnu.

The ministers discussed for a while, Yuan Feng got up and said: "Your Majesty, in the Helan Mountain area, there are a lot of wild livestock, so they raise cattle and horses, and I heard that there are a lot of precious medicinal materials, and the former Qin Dynasty, Beidi County, Yunzhong County, Wuwei County, etc. have included the entire Helan Mountain area, which can be used for farming, and in the new Qinzhong, there are a lot of stones, and wool is produced, and the Xianbei people use this to trade with the Han border for profit, whether it is mining stone, or making clothing felt, it is very useful. ”

"The land of happiness is not connected to other places, but there are rivers distributed, if it is cultivated and cultivated, it may not be impossible to add 100,000 hectares of cultivated land for the Han Dynasty!"

"And if you occupy these terrains and establish prefectures and counties, you can connect Liangzhou in the Western Regions with the two states of Youji and establish a Chi Road, and the border of the Han Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai, and you will not be afraid of foreign places for hundreds of years!" After Yuan Feng finished speaking, he slowly retreated, and when the ministers heard it, they felt that there was still some reason, and nodded, a little moved, and the little fat man listened to it for a while, and felt that Duan Xi's proposal was feasible!

Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China agree that the Han people are warlike and good at expanding their territory, and if they can open up thousands of miles for their descendants, they will not be admired by all generations in the future? They were all excited, but Yuan Ping hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”

The little fat man nodded and motioned for Yuan Ping to continue.

"The land of the border fortress has always been not conducive to farming, if it occupies this place, it will cost a lot of money to relocate the people, and there is no natural danger here, resist foreign enemies and use the elite of the Han to go to the border, for a long time, how to benefit the Han, if it is for some wool and stone animal husbandry, it is necessary for the Han to focus on the outside of the Saiwai, is it not for the sake of small profits and the loss of big profits, the ministers think it is impossible!"

The little fat man also listened carefully, turned his head, and looked at the Wen Ren attack on the side, Wen Ren Attack immediately lowered his head, without words, the little fat man ordered to discuss again, and sent a large number of famous doctors to Liangzhou to treat the plague, and ordered Yuan Feng to discuss with the ministers to stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, and went to assess Liangzhou, and after dealing with these things, the little fat man returned to the main hall.

"Gongda, what do you think of today's events?"

The little fat man asked.

Xun You thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the enemy outside the Saiwai, regardless of Ding Ling Huns, is not to be afraid, only Xianbei is the most powerful, even if this defeat is still hundreds of thousands of people, soon these people, and good at riding and shooting, since General Duan is confident that he can occupy the land of Xianbei, it means that Xianbei is at the weakest time, if you take advantage of this opportunity, completely drive Xianbei out of the Han border and occupy the hometown, the minister thinks that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, if Xianbei is eliminated, but the old land is not recovered, and the Xiongnu, Ding Ling, and even the Wuhuan people come to occupy it, wouldn't it create another Xianbei? And if we open up the field for farming, so that the people settle, and work hard, after a few decades, this place will belong to the Han Dynasty, even if it is not rich, it can also make the Han Dynasty eliminate the scourge of the border fortress, and can benefit future generations, why not do it? ”
