Chapter 287: Countdown to the Great War (First Update)
A few days later, in the Youzhou Thorn Mansion, Yuan Xi took Li Ru and Han Yan in the garden.
"Strategist, Zipei, don't blame Xi for hiding it from you!" Yuan Xi suddenly stopped, turned to look at the two and smiled.
"Master Hou is serious," the two hurriedly said.
"Liu Bei was indeed ordered by Xi to be assassinated by the Black Devil, you two don't have to be curious in your hearts, as for the reason, it's very simple, this imperial uncle is a scourge, Xi doesn't want to see him" Yuan Xi waved his hand lightly and said with joy on his face, as soon as Liu Bei died, the Shu Kingdom in the previous life disappeared, which will reduce a lot of trouble for the future unification of the world.
Yuan Xi is a great pragmatism, if Cao Cao and Sun Quan can be solved in this way, it is just suitable, he doesn't care how many big battles he has to fight, how many tough battles, how many heroes he kills to establish his prestige, he doesn't even care how to evaluate it in history, what he needs is the supreme power and supreme wealth of himself and his descendants, as for the rest, it is all empty.
"Hou Ye's decision, we will never have an opinion, but Liu Bei will not pass the pass, and there are less than a thousand soldiers and horses, why does Hou Ye attach so much importance to him" Han Yan asked curiously.
"If there are not many soldiers, isn't there not many soldiers in my father? One general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, if one master is incompetent, the country is broken and the family is ruined, although Liu Bei only needs to close the zhang, but this person's use of the word Ren has reached an extraordinary state, his only pity is that there is no good mastermind, if there is one, it will inevitably have wings, so it can't be left "Yuan Xi explained with a smile, he clearly knew Liu Bei's tenacity, as well as Zhuge Liang's refuge behind, how could he give him a chance, anything that affects his imperial industry and rights, no matter how talented, no matter how heroic he is, Kill them all.
"Hou Ye is wise, Liang fully supports, Liu Bei, this person, who is arrogant, will never surrender sincerely, even if he gets rid of it so early, it is definitely beneficial and harmless" Li Ru supported.
"Haha, okay, don't talk about this, my father estimates that he will soon move troops, Jizhou has Uncle Tian here, plus Jiao Touch's 50,000 army, he can definitely take it in one fell swoop, at present, it is Bingzhou and Qingzhou, after Xi sends troops, once his father authorizes it, Sizhou must be as much as possible, and all of them will be under the command of a certain person in a peaceful way to ensure the stability of the rear" Yuan Xi said softly.
"Lord Hou, at present, the spy of our army is rapidly recovering the list of officers in the two states," Han Yan said.
"Very good, talented people must be retained, manage all places, and the state is okay, the key lies in Qingzhou, it is estimated that some big brothers' diehards, unless they have to, lock them up first, and wait for a certain person to come back and say, have a good chat with them, even if they are a little too demanding, you can also agree, in short, the four continents must not be chaotic" Yuan Xi ordered.
"No!"
"In addition" Yuan Xi took Li Ru and Han Yan to sit in a pavilion, and said: "A certain has already talked to the national envoy, Wuhuan has stabilized, and a certain plan to transfer him to Yecheng to assist Uncle Tian, the new ambassador to Wuhuan, and the national envoy recommended his student Xie Jun, what do you think?" ”
"Yes, Xie Junru has seen it a few times, although he is a little young, he is extraordinary, he is calm in trouble, and he is a member of the scholar clan" Li Ru nodded.
"Especially he has great respect for Hou Ye, and he is also among the best in the assessment of Juxianguan," Han Yan said.
"Then the order will be lowered, let Xie Jun serve as the ambassador to Wuhuan, and the commander will reserve 12,000 people," Yuan Xi ordered.
"No!"
"In addition, here is a letter that has just come from Liaodong, you can take a look" Yuan Xi took it out of his cuff and handed it to Li Ru.
After the two of them finished reading it one by one, Han Yan suddenly said angrily: "This Gongsun Qi is looking for death!" thought it was a bit of merit, so lawless, it turned out to be a woman, using the wealth of the treasury"
"It's easy to kill him, but I'm afraid that other Liaodong generals who have just returned to Shun have opinions, and this kind of corruption is already very serious in the north," Li Ru frowned.
"Xi has already given instructions, I am looking, if you wait for Xi to come back from the Central Plains, it is still like this, then there is no need to stay, in addition, the corruption problem that the military advisor said should not be underestimated, our army is currently in charge of secret spies is too big, Xi intends to let them be in charge of military intelligence, as for this official Zhizhi, it should be separated, and a separate department will be set up in the future to supervise it with full authority" Yuan Xi said solemnly.
"Hou Ye Yingming"
"Zipei, the battle of Guandu will inevitably not end in a short period of time, Cao Cao has few troops, and he will definitely build a fortress in Guandu, in Yixi's opinion, it is estimated that it will take a few months, this time should not be wasted, although our army is unexpected, and the strength and scale of our army are also very large, but it is still necessary to expand the strength and scale of our army step by step" Yuan Xi looked at Han Yan and said.
"No!"
"Military Division, Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan have been gone for a few days," Yuan Xi suddenly said.
"It's been three days, and it is estimated that we have arrived in Liyang and joined General Gao Lan," Li Ru said.
"In passing an order, the road is far away, let them attack decisively, and they don't have to report to a certain person in everything," Yuan Xi said.
"Hou Ye rest assured, Confucianism has already reminded him that if Cao Cao wins a big victory, he will take Cao Cao's army by surprise, block the white horse, and wait for the army to arrive" Li Ru said
Yuan Xi nodded, this is the safety lock arranged after they discussed, Youzhou is so far away from the Central Plains, the intelligence transmission is suffering, and it is necessary to make a decision immediately, but the horror of the ghost talent makes Yuan Xi very cautious, originally Li Ru went, Yuan Xi is worry-free, but he himself can't do without Li Ru, so he sent Pang Tong and Xu Shu together, with these two working together, the ghost talent is powerful, and in the case of insufficient troops, it can't turn over the wind and waves.
"Three months later, no matter how good the victory or defeat, my 120,000-strong army in Youzhou will officially go south and send troops to the Central Plains," Yuan Xi announced.
Li Ru and Han Yan immediately stood up and said respectfully, "No! ”
"Oh! Zipei! You have to praise Han Zheng well, because of his efforts, Goguryeo seems to be preparing the whole country to learn Chinese, which will be of great significance to the future unification of Goguryeo by our army, and Xi has already planned to further canonize him as the ambassador to Goguryeo, with full authority to deal with things over there" Yuan Xi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Hou," Han Yan said with a wry smile.
"Master Hou, Goguryeo is so afraid, Liang Kan can send a merchant group over and completely control the Goguryeo economy step by step," Li Ru suggested.
Yuan Xi immediately nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is very true, inform the Zhen family, let them bring a few merchant groups over, and Liu Yi will send troops to escort them, and tell them that they must not only learn to make money, but also give their reputation to a certain person."
"No!"
"Hou Ye" saw Liu Quan running over with a document, and said solemnly: "I just received the news, the lord decided to officially grant the Taiwan to worship the generals five days later, and pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then commanded the Ji, Qing, and three-way armies, a total of 530,000 south, to recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop, stabilize the world, and be known as a million army to the outside world."
"Okay, good, haha" Yuan Xi laughed.
