The 300,000 army sounds like the same as the amount of troops sent by Liu Bei when he went out of Shu to attack Guanzhong, but at that time, Liu Bei only had two territories, Yizhou and Jingzhou, and the places that needed to be garrisoned were all passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now although the territory of the Han Dynasty is wider, there are more places that need to be garrisoned.

Xiliang, Yunzhou, and the Western Regions, these places are all unsafe to defend, and there are more border guards needed, and so many troops can be mobilized without using these defenders, and now the military strength of the Han Dynasty is more than twice as strong as ten years ago, but there are many factors for the victory or defeat of the war, and the strength of the army is naturally good, but the quality of the commander and general is also very critical, not to mention now, even in the previous life, when the foreign guns and cannons really come in, with the help of favorable terrain, the enemy with the oxygen gun cannon can still be killed?

The time, the place, the people, these things are useful in any era.

"Your Majesty, Kong Ming and Shi Yuan's talents are a hundred times better than mine, and Your Majesty should also know the style of the minister's marching army and fighting, why not let Shi Yuan and Kong Ming hold the position of commander?" Liu Yi smiled bitterly.

"I have also discussed this matter with the second minister." Liu Chan nodded, Liu Yi's fighting style he heard from a young age, basically depreciating more than praising it, even within the Han Dynasty, many people feel that Liu Yi does not have too many real skills, and he can always be so smooth, one is to defend, and the other is to rely on his subordinates.

"Now the Han Dynasty is not as good as before, the left minister needs to sit in the rear and dispatch in the center, so this time on the expedition, the right minister and Sikong each led a road of soldiers and horses, and the two armies came out together, and the chances of victory were greater." Liu Chan said with a smile.

Although there are many generals in the Han Dynasty, but they can command more than 100,000 troops to fight, in terms of combat achievements, I am afraid that there is only Liu Yi, regardless of what people rely on to win, but the achievements are there, not to mention the year, since Liu Chan ascended the throne, he has leveled the Huns, destroyed Xianbei, swept the Western Regions, and expanded the territory for thousands of miles.

Especially in the Pingxi Regions, Liu Yi really doesn't have any famous generals under him, Wei Chang, Wei Rong and later Huang Rong, although they are the sons of the generals, but before Liu Yi, they have never fought any battles, and now they are not famous in the Western Regions?

Besides, the generals who fought with Liu Yi before, Guan Ping did not have the ability to take charge of himself before he was with Liu Yi, and he also had Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Guang, who were only fledgling when they followed Liu Yi.

There are also Liu Jia and Chen Quan, who followed Liu Yi earlier, and now they are also important generals in Jingzhou, which are quite appreciated by Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong and have made a lot of contributions.

In this way, none of the generals who came out of Liu Yi's hands were mediocre, which is very revealing, Liu Yi may not be good at marching and fighting, but he can cultivate people and be able to give full play to the ability of his subordinate generals, this ability is sometimes more powerful than those generals who are famous all over the world.

"But you don't know how to send troops?" Liu Yi nodded helplessly, in fact, with the current situation, the troops are divided into more than a dozen ways to bloom all over the face, and they will fight together, and there is no problem at all with the talent reserve of the Han Dynasty, and it will be easy to defend the troops in two ways, of course, if you can win, the harvest will be very huge.

"This, we still need to discuss with the second minister." Liu Chan shook his head and smiled, he himself is not proficient in warfare, at this point, Liu Chan inherited Liu Bei's style, he doesn't understand, let someone who understands do it, he just needs to sit in the rear: "I invited Sikong to come this time, just to worship Sikong as the commander of the way, as for how to fight, I still need to discuss again." ”

Liu Yi nodded, as an emperor, caution is a good thing, after all, the war of 300,000 troops, the things involved behind this are too big, it is not as simple as sending 300,000 people, Liu Yi also wants to ask the two, in fact, if it is just a partial division all the way, Zhao Yun or Chen Zhi These veterans can be competent, Zhao Yun has suppressed the Qiang people over the years, and the ability to coordinate the overall situation is actually not bad.

"The minister retired first." Liu Yi saluted to Liu Chan.

"Well, I know that Sikong is eager to return home, so I won't leave Sikong today, and I will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to catch the wind for Sikong." Liu Chan nodded and smiled, and personally sent Liu Yi out of the main hall.

"Your Majesty stays." Liu Yi walked out of the hall gate and bowed to Liu Chan.

"Huang Hao, send Sikong back home on behalf of me." Liu Chan nodded with a smile and said to Huang Hao beside him.

"Huh~" Huang Hao agreed, came to Sikong's side and said, "Sikong, please come here." ”

Liu Yi nodded and followed Liu Chan out.

Half an hour later, when he walked out of the palace gate, Huang Hao did not leave directly with Liu Yi, but smiled at Liu Yi: "Sikong, do you want to rest for a while before leaving?" ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he frowned and looked at Huang Hao: "Someone wants to see me?" ”

"The prince has long been famous for Sikong, and today I have heard that Sikong is still in court, and I want to see Sikong's side." Huang Hao hurriedly bowed his head and said.

Liu Yi has been in the top position for a long time, and he is decisive in Xizhou and Dawan, and the momentum exuded between the slight frowns of his brows makes Huang Hao a little unbearable.

"Prince?" Liu Yi frowned and said, "Since it is the crown prince's recruitment, the minister should go to meet him." ”

But there is some resistance in my heart, Liu Chan is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, what does the prince mean by looking for him at this time?

But since the prince asked someone to come to him, he can't not be seen, after all, he is the prince, and it is not good to brush the other party's face.

"Sikong, please." Huang Hao hurriedly said.

"I wonder what the prince is looking for me?" Liu Yi frowned and asked.

If the prince is considered a bloodline, it is considered a concubine, and his mother Wang Guiren was originally the queen's maid, and later gave birth to Liu Xuan after being favored by Liu Chan.

However, Liu Yi is not very familiar with this prince, but he has heard that he likes to ride and shoot, and he is a little embarrassed.

But Liu Yi didn't care too much about this kind of thing, wasn't Cao Cao also a gentleman when he was young? Who didn't do a few jerks when they were younger?

"This ...... The slave doesn't know. Huang Hao shook his head, and took Liu Yi straight to a side hall, where Liu Xuan, who was dressed in a fancy suit, was already waiting there, and when he saw Liu Yi coming, he got up to greet him.

"Xuan wanted to talk to Sikong for a long time, but Sikong was not in the court for a long time, but this time, he finally had the opportunity to have a good chat with Sikong." Liu Xuan smiled and saluted Liu Yi.

Liu Yi bowed slightly, bowed to Liu Xuan and said, "Minister, see the prince." ”

"Sikong doesn't need to be polite, the palace has already prepared a banquet, and there are just a lot of questions I want to ask Sikong, why don't Sikong go to the palace with the palace to have a banquet?" Liu Xuan said with a smile.

"The prince doesn't know, the minister heard that His Majesty summoned him in Dawan, so he came in the starry night, and the lady suffered some cold along the way, this time I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the banquet, if the prince has something to entrust, it is better to say in detail." Liu Yi shook his head.

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, although there are some city governments, but running in front of Liu Yi to show off is a class to get an axe, although Liu Xuan didn't say anything, but it can be seen that Liu Xuan wants to cultivate his own power.

Well, the identity of the concubine is not good after all in this era of paying attention to the family, although the queen has no children now, but as long as she is pregnant, she is a son-in-law, Liu Xuan's status will definitely be shaken, Liu Chan is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he can still govern for a lot of time in the future, and the position of the prince can be changed, as long as there is a higher background than him, his inheritance can be shaken.

It's just a dispute between the crown princes, Liu Yi is inconvenient to stand in line now, Liu Chan is still there, it makes no sense to stand in line too early, but it makes Liu Chan unhappy.

As for Liu Xuan's succession, with Liu Chan's current state, it is no problem to live for another twenty or thirty years, but twenty or thirty years later...... I don't know if I'm not in this world, so why bother with what happened at that time?

"It's the palace's poor consideration, don't blame it!" Liu Xuan hurriedly bowed down and said, although he was showing kindness, he was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child after all, and the expression on his face was a little stiff.

"The prince doesn't have to be like this." Liu Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not right, it's just that this body is really unwell, and I hope the prince won't blame it." ”

"How?" The smile on Liu Xuan's face had regained his composure, and he bowed slightly: "Actually, it's nothing important, this palace will send Sikong out of the palace." ”

"How dare there be Prince Lao?" Liu Yi hurriedly shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter." Liu Xuan shook his head and smiled: "Sikong, please." ”

Liu Yi shook his head helplessly and accompanied Liu Xuan to the outside of the palace.

"This palace heard that my father and the emperor attacked Wei this time, and I intend to let Sikong take command." Walking on the road, Liu Xuan chatted with Liu Yi with a ride, and suddenly asked with a smile.

"This ......" Liu Yi shook his head and said: "It has not been decided yet, and the minister does not dare to speculate." ”

"There are a few talented people around this palace, if Sikong is in charge, can you let them follow Sikong, and let them fight on the battlefield with Sikong to broaden their knowledge." Liu Xuan looked at Liu Yi and said: "After all, even if they are good talents and beautiful jade, if they stay in this Chang'an City all the time, they will inevitably be abandoned, so it is better to let them go out with Sikong and ask Sikong for advice." ”

Liu Yi sighed when he heard this, although he refused the prince's invitation, but in the end he still had to be stuffed, Liu Yi was a little helpless, but this time it was not easy to refuse, and he nodded at the moment and said: "Since it is entrusted by the prince, the minister should do his best, but the minister has a word first, on the battlefield, it is not as good as Chang'an, it needs to be forbidden, and those who disobey the military order will not be tolerated by the minister, which is responsible for the soldiers of the three armies." ”

If it is really a talent, Liu Yi will cultivate it, after all, he is also a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and he should treat everyone equally, but if he comes to stir up trouble, then don't blame Liu Yi for being polite, this ugly thing has to be said in advance, and Liu Yi will never tolerate bad things.

Liu Xuan hurriedly said solemnly: "Sikong rest assured, if this is the case, he will be severely punished!" ”

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and after Liu Xuan saw Liu Yi leave, the smile on his face gradually disappeared......
