Chapter 487 Deliberation and Solicitation
"From ancient times to the present, the scope of my Chinese land is not static, the Yan and Huang times are different, the Xia and Shang periods are different, and the Qin and Han dynasties are not the same, so why can't we change it, and include the land of Mongolia in my Han Dynasty, so that the people of Mongolia can become the people of the Han Dynasty." Guo Jia said again.
"But it's not something that can be done overnight." Liu Wei frowned.
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian prince Tuolei, has a benevolent personality, is close to the Han Dynasty, and his talents are extremely outstanding, when he destroys Temujin, he can support Tuolei as the Great Khan of Mongolia." Guo Jia replied.
"Tuolei is the son of Temujin, if I kill Temujin, how will Tuolei serve me, and how can I ensure that he will not rebel in the future." Liu Wei said suspiciously.
"The so-called people who achieve great things are not informal, Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and has a broad mind, why not spare Temujin's life in the future, and change it to a lifetime imprisonment." Guo Jia replied.
"Go on!" Guo Jia's words made Liu Wei a little helpless, if he agreed to Guo Jia's proposal, Liu Wei would definitely have to spare Temujin's life in the future, but he really wanted to hear Guo Jia's next words.
"Everywhere the horse's hooves are on Han soil, Mongolia will be the land of my Han Dynasty sooner or later, so why can't it be Han City, where the Han flag stands. Gather the Han and Mongolian people, build one city after another in the vast steppe, so that the Mongolian people who are nomadic all the year round have a place to live. Guo Jia said righteously.
"Not only that, but Your Majesty can also use these cities as the center to establish horse farms in all directions of the cities, so that the Mongols can assist the Han to breed war horses, and not only that, but my Han people can also feed cattle and sheep on the Mongolian steppe." Guo Jia said again.
"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the so-called wise are invincible, the strong are invincible, and the benevolent are invincible, all of which are inseparable from a heart word, when Your Majesty's majestic image is in the hearts of the Mongolian people, Your Majesty is their king, their Khan. When they get used to the life of the Han Dynasty and the people of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty is their country, and the Han Dynasty is their heaven. Guo Jia said excitedly.
"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, you finally persuaded me, where the horse's hooves step on the Han soil, where the Han flag stands is Hancheng, good, good, I hope that in the future, the people of the Han will be all over the world, and the banner of the Han will be all over the world." Liu Wei also said very excitedly.
"What do you think of Fengxiao's proposal?" Liu Wei looked around at the civil and military officials in the Taiji Palace.
"The ministers seconded it!" A unified voice sounded in the Taiji Hall.
"Okay, in that case, let's carry out the first step plan and take the land of Mongolia." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Montaigne listens to orders!"
"Wechen is here!"
"I order you to have 80,000 border troops on the Great Wall, and lead Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanhui, Yang Yansi, Yang Ji, Pang De, Xu Ning, and Hua Rong from Yanmen to the north to conquer Temujin."
"Obey the order!" Meng Tian kowtowed.
"Your Ministers obey!" The generals who were named all came out and replied.
"Yue Fei listens to orders!"
"Wechen is here!"
"I ordered you to lead 60,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters, and lead the captains Chi Gong, Qin Qiong, Yang Lie, Long Ju, Yue Yun, Nangong Changwan, and Yue Sheng to the north to conquer Temujin."
"Obey the order!"
"Your Ministers obey!"
"Li Jing listens to orders!"
"Wechen is here!"
"I order you to lead 60,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters to the east to guard Liaoxi County and monitor every move of the Tang Kingdom."
"Obey the order!"
"Wei Qing, Gao Su, Huo Ji, Zhao Yun listen to the order!"
"Wechen is here!" Wei Qing, Gao Changgong, Huo Quai, and Zhao Yun were out together.
"I ordered you to lead the army and horses of your headquarters and follow me north to conquer Mongolia." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Your Ministers obey!"
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Gao Changgong reacted, looking at Liu Wei blankly.
"I know what you want to say, but I have made up my mind, and I must go to this battle in person, and no one can persuade me." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Xu Da, Xu Huang, Xue Li obeys the order!"
"Wechen is here!"
"Ordered Er to lead all the troops and horses to go to various places to monitor the movements of the rest of the princes in case of accidents."
"Your Ministers obey!"
Now Liu Wei has nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, in addition to the 40,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the forbidden army, Wei Qing of the Imperial Forest Army has 40,000 soldiers and horses, Meng Tian's border guards have 80,000 horses, Yue Fei has 50,000 horses in his hands, Li Jing has 40,000 horses in his hands, Xu Huang has 60,000 horses in his hands, Xu Da has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Zuo Xiao has 20,000 people riding Huo Quai, and right Xiao has 20,000 horses in Gao Changgong. In other words, the army of this northern expedition was 210,000.
"Grain, grass, and ordnance deployment are handled by Du Ruhui and Xu Shu." Liu Wei commanded.
"Obey the order!"
"Yes!"
Xu Shu and Du Ruhui stepped forward and replied.
"After March, the Northern Expedition will begin, and during this period, I hope that all the ministers will assist each other, deploy and help the Northern Expedition army."
"The ministers will definitely help!"
"In my absence, the prince will handle government affairs, the prince is young, and I hope that you will be sure to assist the prince." Liu argued.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will definitely assist the prince and wait for Your Majesty's triumphant return." Liu Ji said solemnly.
Next, Liu Wei said some important things and arranged some civil and military affairs.
……
"Your Majesty, are you going to go on another expedition?" In the Kunning Palace, Empress Tang looked at Liu Wei gently.
"yes, it's going to be a war again." Liu Wei chuckled.
"I wonder how long Your Majesty will be away this time?" Empress Tang looked at Liu Wei worriedly.
"The queen doesn't need to worry, this time I am not in a hurry, everything is arranged, the soldiers are full of food, there are many fierce generals, and the strength is much better than Mongolia, the queen does not have to worry, the long is half a year, and the short is one or two months, and she will definitely be able to return triumphantly." Liu Wei said confidently.
"If the concubine doesn't want His Majesty to go?" Empress Tang looked at Liu Wei expectantly.
"Does the queen really not want me to go?" Liu Wei looked at Tang Hou and said in embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine is just a joke, Your Majesty has great ambitions and has the responsibility of recovering the Han family, how can the concubine as the queen hinder Your Majesty." In the end, Empress Tang still didn't say anything to let Liu Wei stay.
"Thank you for your understanding!" Liu Wei smiled, now Liu Wei has changed from a down-and-out emperor to a high-ranking emperor, and he has been indifferent to his feelings a lot, like Hu Sanniang, after the big and small weeks, Zhao Feiyan and other women who were with him at the beginning, his feelings for them are no longer so deep, except for lust, there are very few others, not only for the concubines in the harem, but there are very few people who can really make Liu Wei pay emotional treatment, only two or three people.
And Queen Tang Wan is still the highest status in Liu Bian's heart, even those concubines who have received the most favor, and the concubines who seem to be deeply loved by Liu Bian, can't compare.
After Da Qiao, only one concubine was added to the harem, and it was Chen Yuanyuan, who was summoned by Liu Wei at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with up to 100 points of charm, which almost made Liu Wei gain a talent again.
"Concubine Courage, when is Your Majesty going to leave?" Empress Tang asked curiously.
"I'm going to leave in March." Liu Wei replied directly.
"After March!" Empress Tang muttered in a low voice,
"Presumably, Qiao Xuan's sister had already given birth to a child at that time." Empress Tang said in surprise.
"That's how it should be!" Liu Wei nodded.
"Your Majesty, if there is something that the concubine doesn't know to talk about?" Tang Hou said hesitantly.
"Between you and me, you don't have to be so careful, just say what you want to say." Liu Wei said seriously.
"The concubine is pregnant!" Empress Tang gave Liu Wei a shocking news.
"Really!" Liu Wei is overjoyed, now Liu Wei has a group of children, and he has long lost the joy and excitement he had at the beginning, but it is different for Tang Hou and his children, because his mother is Liu Bian's favorite woman.
"How long has it been?" Liu Wei asked in surprise.
"It's been two months." Tang Hou replied.
"Then why didn't you tell me!" Liu Wei said with some displeasure.
"But the concubine hasn't seen Your Majesty!" Empress Tang was a little helpless.
"I'm sorry, Queen, it's my fault!" Liu Wei listened to Empress Tang's words, and immediately remembered that he hadn't been to Kunning Palace for more than a month, and instantly felt a little sorry for Empress Tang.
