Chapter 618: The Situation in Southeast Asia (Part 1)
Half a month later, Li Ru and Xu Shu stepped into the Huagai Hall with a serious face, and soon Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Pang Tong, and other ministers also came one by one.
"It seems that my Daxi has indeed been comfortable for too long, not only has Baicheng not withdrawn from the Shan State, but now even the Bi Kingdom has moved, and the Funan Dynasty, and even the remnants of the Nanyue Kingdom that were destroyed by Emperor Wu are actually attacking Linyi, it can be said that the current several countries outside Jiaozhou have all unified their camps" Yuan Xi smiled coldly.
"Your Majesty, in the past 14 years, my Daxi has shifted the focus to the development of industry and commerce and the development of agriculture, so in addition to the Western Regions, it is true that the soldiers have relaxed a lot, but this is really Your Majesty's intention, because Your Majesty wants to fight something, if you want to fight, you must have the momentum of the dragon and the nine heavens, and the power of sweeping the heavens and the earth, at present, I Daxi has 1.32 million active soldiers, 1.51 million reserve regiments, a total of 2.83 million, and there are countless grains and grasses. First of all, I will recover all the countries in Southeast Asia in Daxi" Zhuge Liang waved his hand, with a strong confidence on his face, this is confidence in Daxi's national strength, economy, and force.
"That's right, I've been precipitating Daxi for so long and storing for so long, it's time to start exerting power," Pang Tong agreed.
"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I thought about it, is it a bit hasty to let Yuan Xuan and Yuan Xian, the two sons, recover Southeast Asia, do you want to send a commander over?"
"Your Majesty is serious, the King of Jin is calm and composed, the King of War's martial arts is peerless, one article and one martial arts, he will definitely create a brilliant record, and at this time, sending a commander over will limit their ability" Li Ru immediately hugged his fists.
"What the right minister said is that Zhao Shuai and Jiao Shuai also came out step by step like this, and the minister felt that there was no problem with the two princes" Zhuge Liang agreed, for Yuan Xuan and Yuan Xian, the two princes, he knew the big Xi Zaifu too well, although he was not as good as Yuan Ming, but he was definitely a hero.
The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth raised, he was not a person who didn't care about Daxi's safety for the glory of his son, but Yuan Xuan and Yuan Xian were in his true dragon's eye, and the data was indeed very high, enough to take on a big responsibility.
"Where are they now?"
"It is estimated that it will be Jiaozhi tomorrow," Xu Shu reported.
"Okay, pass the order, with Huang Zhong as the main commander, Yuan Xuan, Yuan Xian as the deputy commander, the soldiers are divided into two ways, Hansheng is experienced, he will deal with Baicheng, Yuan Xuan, Yuan Xian is responsible for recovering the entire Southeast Asia, and I will open it, and fight until Funan, and stop looking at the sea" Yuan Xi said coldly.
"No!"
"In addition, in order to ensure that everything is lost, the five army corps stationed in Yangzhou was ordered to be commanded by Zhang Liao to command 50,000 troops to go over, as a backup, if Southeast Asia wins, Zhang Liao will temporarily serve as the governor of the capital, and lead the Southeast Asian garrison, Yuan Xuan, Yuan Xian will return to the army to support the hundred times, this time I will not let these hundred times these monkeys dare to enter the desert to die of thirst, and vow not to give up" Yuan Xi said coldly.
"Your Majesty's Divine Wisdom"
。。。。。。
Two days later, outside Jiaozhou Mansion and Jiaozhi City, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Xian, the two princes, finally arrived here with an army of 100,000.
"Liu Ba, the governor of Chenjiaozhou, meet the king of Jin, the king of war" Liu Ba, who had a long beard and an old look, stood at the gate of the city with many yamen officials, and respectfully saluted the two brothers of Yuan Xuan who came.
"Governor Liu, please hurry up" Yuan Xuan immediately got off the horse and helped Liu Ba, although Liu Ba surrendered to Yuan Xi later, but in the past 14 years, without Liu Ba, Jiaozhou is still a desolate land, it is Liu Ba who has worked tirelessly to climb mountains, wade through forests, open roads, attract business, and even go to sea, coupled with Daxi's skills in blooming, so that Jiaozhou has now prosperous.
He always remembered that his father said that the greatest credit of the governors of all states in the world was Cheng Gongying, the governor of Liangzhou, and Liu Ba, the governor of Jiaozhou, who stabilized and expanded the stability and prosperity of the Silk Road, and brought an endless stream of wealth and culture to Daxi; And Liu Ba is even more outstanding, directly creating a rich land for Daxi, if the two of them talk about it, the credit is about the same, but they can't afford it, Liu Ba is really tired a lot.
Just last year, when Liu Ba returned to Beijing, Yuan Xi looked at Liu Ba, who was already full of white hair after taking off his official hat, and suddenly felt that Liu Ba was erudite and talented, and in his previous life, he solved the financial difficulties for Liu Bei after entering Shu, and in this life, he was to open up Jiaozhou, and initially realized the Liangguang era that Yuan Xi expected in his heart, and made countless efforts, especially when he was simple and noble, and never governed the family assets, which made Yuan Xi pay attention to it, and originally wanted him to stay in Shendu, enjoy wealth and prosperity, and spend his old age in peace. But Liu Ba finally insisted on persisting in the hope of helping Yuan Xi recover Southeast Asia in the future and create the glory of Daxi.
Yuan Xi had no choice but to crown him as the Marquis of Jiaodong and reward him with money.
Therefore, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Xian may be proud in other state capitals, but they will never dare in Jiaozhou, because once Yuan Xi knows, the consequences will be serious and terrifying.
"Two princes, you have come here through mountains and rivers, you must have worked hard, why don't you take a day off first, and you will be discussing tomorrow" Liu Ba smiled slightly and said softly.
"No need for Governor Liu, the military situation is urgent, Lin Yi is now under attack, this king and the fourth brother are shouldering the glory of Daxi, and they must not relax in the slightest, let the soldiers have a good rest, and we will immediately discuss the situation in Southeast Asia now" Yuan Xuan said softly.
When Liu Ba heard this, there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and said, "In this way, the two princes please, the placement of the soldiers has long been prepared."
"Good"
。。。。。
Soon after, in the inner hall of the governor's yamen, there was a huge map, on which were really the maps of Jiaozhou, Baicheng, Shan, Piu, Linyi, and Funan.
"The two princes, Huang Shuai has led the Eleventh Army into Ailao, and will attack at any time to recover the Shan country first, and although His Majesty has not yet issued an order, it is certain that the task of the two princes must be the Southeast Asian countries that want to compete with each other for the benefit of the fisherman, this Southeast Asia has the country of Pi, Linyi, and Funan, although Linyi has been attacked, but the so-called remnants of South Vietnam have no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they defend the city, they can't break it, but it is the country of Pi, their strength is the strongest, with 50,000 soldiers, especially they can train elephants, The combat effectiveness of the elephant soldiers is very amazing, and once they charge, the sky is shattered," Liu Ba said solemnly, pointing to the map.
Yuan Xuan smiled coldly and said: "The elephant soldiers are indeed powerful, this king has heard of it a long time ago, but it is also a double-edged sword, once the group of statues starts to come wildly, it is simply the enemy I don't recognize, Governor Liu is at ease, this time this king brought twenty four-shot strong crossbow bows, even the iron plate can penetrate"
Liu Ba smiled and said, "In this case, then Guan Jian is about choosing the location and object of annihilation."
"Hurt his five fingers, it's better to cut off one of his fingers, since the three kingdoms are the strongest in the country of Bi, then take him to the knife, after eliminating the elite of the country of Bi, seize its country Mande, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and then stabilize the forest in the army, and recover the countries of Funan" Yuan Xian suddenly said coldly.
"The fourth brother is right, Governor Liu, where is the current army of the Pi Kingdom," Yuan Xuan said solemnly.
"Yesterday they received news that they had already passed through Saar, and it is estimated that they will be able to resist the vicinity of the Cangjiang River in a few days, and the forces of Funan are also gathering here," Liu Ba replied.
"Okay, then choose near the Cangjiang River, and annihilate the army of the country of Pi, and then the 100,000 troops will divide into two routes and sweep all over Southeast Asia," Yuan Xuan said coldly.
Looking at Yuan Xuan at this time, Liu Ba seemed to recall the first time he saw Yuan Xi, the two not only looked alike, but even their temperaments were very similar.
