Chapter 337: Planning the Huns
At this time, sitting in the lobby were Jia Xu, Xun You, Cai Yong, Wang Lie and other ministers.
There are also Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Zhao Ji and other generals.
In addition to these old people, there are also some talents that Liu Fan has cultivated in the past three years.
There are no seats in the hall, and everyone is gathered together.
In terms of Wenchen, Liu Fan promoted Yingchuan celebrities Xun Yue, Zheng Xuan, Zhao Shang, Gongsun Fang, Xi Xi and others.
It has also cultivated talents such as Li Cong and Wang Bin who are not famous in history.
In terms of military generals, Liu Fan promoted two proud generals, one named Cheng Lian, who has the power of courage and is a general.
A man named General Zhang Xian is infinitely powerful and can fight with Xu Huang and Zhang Liao.
Cheng Lian in history was Lu Bu's subordinate, and when Lu Bu was at the end of his rope, his subordinate generals rebelled, and only Gao Shun and Cheng Lian fought with Lu Bu to the end.
When Lu Bu charged into battle, he often took Cheng Lian with him, which shows Cheng Lian's bravery.
Liu Xian was originally a slave of the Xianbei Bone Department, and was caught by Xianbei when he was a teenager, and was given special care in the Xianbei Department, so he boiled up a strong body.
Liu Fan named the two of them Sima, and became Xu Chu's left and right Mo sword generals.
The two were also very grateful and willing to die for Liu Fan.
"For three years, there have been frequent battles at the border. Thanks to the lives of the soldiers, the people of Li were able to recuperate. Today, the people have surplus grain in every house, and they can slaughter pigs and sheep during the New Year's holidays. I want to promote righteousness in the world, and I want the people of the world to become like the people of Hetao. But there are Xiongnu inside, Xianbei outside, if I transfer the army south to the side of the Qing monarch, the Hu people must invade the territory of our Han Dynasty. What do you think we should do? Liu Fan asked everyone clearly.
The generals guarded the border and did not return to the Yin Pavilion for several years, the reason was that the Hetao was newly established and the enemy was not eliminated.
Once there is a shortage of heavy troops on the border, the Hu people will definitely take advantage of the situation.
For thousands of years, the Hu people have become accustomed to plundering the Han realm. Wu Sui didn't want to invade the Han realm and snatch things.
According to the trend of the times, in the land of the Hetao, it is enough to leave a handsome talent.
But peerless commanders like Li Mu and Meng Tian have not yet appeared in his army.
Who can do his "Great Wall"? Let him have no worries in the process of going south.
This is a question that Liu Fan has been thinking about in recent days.
Guan Yu Jia Jiaxu!
But when going south, he was an indispensable general, a minister.
Xu Huang and Zhang Liao are not enough to deter the whole army, let alone deter foreign races.
In the eyes of Xianbei and Xiongnu, Guan Yu is the most feared Han general except for the hussar general.
Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun are just generals.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei are fierce generals.
Now the situation in the Central Plains is imminent, and preparations must begin.
"When a man is alive, he will defend his family and country with a knife and a gun, even if he is shrouded in horse leather, he will not regret it. As long as the general gave an order, Wu Chenglian drove the cavalry to kill the enemy, drove the Xiongnu out of the West Gate, and drove Xianbei to Beihai. Cheng Lian got up, patted his chest and said to Liu Fan.
He stole chickens back then, and Liu Fan was kind to him. He couldn't wait to repay Liu Fan's kindness with death.
Liu Fan's words were just an introduction, and everyone understood what Liu Fan meant.
If you want to go south, you must temporarily solve the threat from the north.
Since ancient times, when the world is in turmoil, foreigners will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and when the world is peaceful, the ruler will start to prevent external troubles.
Liu Fan is not happy to see this kind of thing happen, the Hetao is his foundation, and he wants to protect the Hetao.
He didn't want to be stolen by Xianbei and the Xiongnu when he pacified the Central Plains.
The land in the Hetao is still being reclaimed, and now only the tax and grain from the Hetao can feed the military officials in the Hetao and Yanmen.
Ripe between the rivers, northwest foot.
This is not an exaggeration.
"I am very relieved. The Modao Army has been hidden for a long time, and this battle will shine. ”
The warehouse accumulates grain, and the arsenal Chen soldiers.
All the whole army was armoured, everyone had a bow, and everyone had a horse.
The Yinshan Iron Cavalry is all covered with bright light armor and heavy armor.
Long Xiang rode with two thousand sets of bright light armor. Liu Fan's 800 personal guards, all of whom were dressed in bright light armor.
Xu Huang had two thousand sets of heavy armor in his army.
The rest are all two-tier A.
The armor of the generals is attached to the armor leaf, which makes the protection more powerful.
In terms of mining and iron smelting, no one attaches more importance to it than Liu Fan.
For several years, the search for iron ore did not stop.
Because of the limited manpower, some iron mines are not mined by manpower, so Liu Fan asked people to mark them and seal them.
There are 30,000 men in charge of mining in Yanmen and Hetao, and they will be allowed to go back to farming during the agricultural season.
There were 5,000 blacksmiths recruited and trained later.
Iron pickaxes, iron crowbars, sledgehammers, and iron chisels, these simple mining items were made by Liu Fan and distributed to the people.
These things can be used not only in mining, but also in agriculture and life.
"As the so-called soldiers are fast, the east and west are strong and strong, and they all want to covet the land between the rivers, and there are Huns eyeing them. First deploy troops to attack the Southern Xiongnu and destroy the Southern Xiongnu. Then the score will hit Xianbei. This is the right strategy. ”
Xun You got up and bowed to Liu Fan.
"Our army has formed an alliance with the Huns, wouldn't it be untrustworthy to do so." Liu Fan touched his chin and said, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"The Xiongnu is a wolf in the middle of the mountain, and when he was weak, he sought protection, but his eyes were always on the people who did good to him, and if he was not careful, a tragedy like Mr. Dongguo would occur. Over the past hundred years, the treachery of the Xiongnu has occurred repeatedly. However, my big man is not Rong Di, and if he sends troops, he naturally has a reason to send troops. ”
Xun Yu said to Liu Fan.
If you want to be famous, you only need to use a little trick for Xun You.
For the strong, there are countless excuses for war. The weak have no choice.
"What's the plan of the Left Army?" Liu Fan asked Xun You.
"The Hun Zhonglang and the Dianjun Zhonglang will be garrisoned for three years, but they have not made an inch. These two people are 2,000 stone generals in the imperial court, and their identities are extraordinary. Send them to the Xiongnu and buy a few horses to ......"
Xun You said a few words vaguely, and before he finished his words, he saluted Liu Fan and sat down again.
Everyone quickly made up Xun You's next words. After getting the answer, I was slightly shocked.
At the beginning, Xun You stopped the general from killing Zhang Dong, and now he has pushed Zhang Dong and Xu Liang to a dead end.
I didn't expect this seemingly loyal and honest person to still be a ruthless character.
"That's a lot of reason! Zhang Dong and Xu Liang are heavy generals under my command, haha! ”
Liu Fan laughed.
"The autumn harvest has been completed, winter is coming soon, our army is fully armoured, and there are things to protect against the cold. The winter war is beneficial to our army and disadvantageous to the enemy. In addition, the front-line troops cannot be mobilized, and Xianbei is the biggest enemy. In the past year, Xianbei Ranger has traveled more around the vicinity of Biansai, I am afraid that there is some conspiracy. ”
At this time, Jia Xu, who was beside Liu Fan, said to him.
"I also know that after three years of fighting with Xianbei, the soldiers rarely suffered defeats, and the name of the Five Tiger Generals shocked the grassland, and Xianbei and our army have become incompatible. But the expulsion of the Xiongnu must be done in the first step, if the first war Xianbei, the Xiongnu will definitely take advantage of the weakness, and the enemy will be even more uncomfortable. Liu Fan said cautiously.
Xianbei has been the overlord of the grassland for decades, and all the ministries want to dominate again and dominate Xianbei. And Liu Fan just stood in their way.
Friction after friction accumulates a lot of resentment.
The death of Helian has been forgotten by the East and West, and it is not impossible for the two to join forces.
