Chapter 3 Strategic Decisions
is about to send troops to attack the world, at this moment, no matter what, it is impossible for Liu Yi to let there be different opinions within the New Han Dynasty, no matter which Wenchen military generals they are, since they are ready to unify the world, then, everyone must put down their selfishness, and everything must be considered around the unification of the Han Dynasty.
Military generals must always think about how to lead their military horses to attack cities and seize land, and Wenchen must work together and do a good job in logistics. Especially when the armies of the New Han Dynasty were sent to the Central Plains, internal stability and prosperity were also very important. Now, there is no longer the threat of the northern Huns, there is no need to accumulate troops and horses on the Great Wall in the north, the army can concentrate on attacking the world, if in such a situation, it still makes people drag their feet, then Liu Yi will naturally never agree.
"Lord, lord...... Yes, the minister was confused for a while, and at this moment, he should not have doubts about these things. Your Majesty, please, please continue. ”
That Xu Xing, at this moment, seemed to wake up to the fact that he was a little abrupt, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Yi first, and then looked at the young emperor.
It was also at this moment that he realized that although Liu Yi didn't seem to be a director of the council much in ordinary times, he rarely showed up in Luoyang, and he usually didn't come to the court. However, in the entire New Han Dynasty, which one is not in awe of Liu Yi? In the entire New Han Dynasty, who is not looking forward to Liu Yima? Whether the emperor concedes power or not, these are just superficial issues, and now who doesn't know that Liu Yi is the most powerful person in the New Han Dynasty?
Now that I'm jumping out and touching the mold, I'm really hitting the iron plate.
Though. He was recommended by Mr. Sima, blended into the court of the New Han Dynasty, and agreed to some conditions. However, that must not stumble on Leo Yi when he is in the prime of life.
He knew that he had made a mistake and hurried to remedy it.
Liu Yi listened to Min Gong's introduction, and then based on his own understanding of history. When he heard that his father-in-law Sima Hui was going to send his son and nephew Sima Yi to the New Han Dynasty, and based on his understanding of the so-called astronomical stars, Liu Yi estimated that this father-in-law had some ulterior motives. Especially after listening to the story of Sima Hui and his mother-in-law Xuanyuan Feng, Liu Yi also judged. Sima Hui was ambitious. At least, he was selfish and wanted to seek benefits for his Sima family.
Well. Now Sima Yi is studying at the Xinmin Academy of the New Han Dynasty in Luoyang, and since the young emperor only focuses on cultivation, there is no need for him to accompany him. So. He did not get close to the emperor. According to Liu Yi's observation, Sima Yi's kid is smart and smart, he learns everything quickly, and he can often draw inferences from one another, but his scheming is too heavy, so Liu Yi doesn't like it very much. Privately. Liu Yi also hinted to the women in his family that they should not let their children get too close to Sima Yi.
For this. Sima Ruyan also had trouble with Liu Yi, mainly because she felt that many children, such as the children of military generals or strategists under Liu Yi's account, Liu Yi would often interact with them with his own children, and most of them could usually play together, but why did she deliberately or unintentionally alienate her Sima family's children and nephews?
For this, Liu Yi is really not easy to explain. Fortunately, I don't know if Lu Dao's mother-in-law Xuanyuan Feng knew something about Lu Dao, she relieved Liu Yi, and also intentionally or unintentionally restricted Sima Yi's activities. Now, that kid seems to be those three good students in later generations, three points and one line, the school, and the Xuanyuan family. There was almost no chance for him to have too much contact with the people in the court.
Well, after Xuanyuan Feng arrived in Luoyang, she seemed to deliberately choose a courtyard far away from the Zhenyuan Grain Mansion as a place to stay, and the courtyard where she lived was not her husband's surname, but the name of Xuanyuan Mansion.
Far away, at this moment, Liu Yi already suspected in his heart that these officials who were arranged by Sima Hui to come to the New Han Dynasty as officials had some ulterior motives, but for the time being, Liu Yi didn't want to worry too much about them. After all, they didn't do anything unfavorable to the New Han Dynasty now. So, you can't just deal with them.
"Now that the matter has not really been decided, Lord Xu Xing can naturally express different opinions." Liu Yi looked at Xu Xing expressionlessly and said, "Get up and speak, Liu is also a minister of a dynasty, and he only listens to the emperor." ”
"Taifu! I was young and inactive, and I knew that I couldn't revitalize the Han Dynasty, and everything in the New Han Dynasty depended on Taifu. The young emperor first held the jade seal of the country with both hands, held it in front of Liu Yi, and then turned his head to the ministers of the court and said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. If you and others can subdue the lawless ministers to the law, so that the Han Dynasty can be unified from the unification, I can also give this jade seal of the country to you, so that you and others, with this jade seal, command the world, and become famous. I awarded the jade seal of Taifu to pass on the country, so that our army of the New Han Dynasty can sweep away Liuhe with the army of the king. If no one dares to receive this jade seal, then I will hand it over to the Taifu and let the Taifu exercise power on behalf of the emperor! ”
In the court, there was silence, and no one dared to say more.
Liu Yi also glanced at the courtiers, and then took the jade seal of the country held by the young emperor with both hands, raised his hands above his head, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured that the emperor is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is deeply impressed. ”
"Good! If the ministers have no objection, then it is so decided, and in the future, no one will have any objection! From now on, the Taifu will preside over the court meeting, and when I am tired, I will go back to the harem first. The young emperor glanced around the court again, turned around resolutely, and strode away.
"Queen Mother, please!"
The voice of the young emperor came from behind, and it was He Wan, the empress dowager who was listening to the government, to invite him back to the harem together. Now that he has entrusted everything to Liu Yi, there is no need for He Wan to listen to politics anymore.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't talk about it, now, let's ask Captain Xi to talk about the current situation in the world, so that everyone can know how we are going to send troops under the current situation!" Liu Yi didn't bother to say more about the young emperor's concession of power, anyway, whether there was a young emperor's concession this time, and how to unify the Han Dynasty, the most important thing was that Liu Yi decided to fight how to fight.
Xi Zhi came out of the ranks, crossed to the center, and first glanced at Liu Yi with a little excitement before he turned around and faced the ministers.
"In fact, our New Han Dynasty has developed to the present, with more than one million New Han Army, in terms of strength, our Dynasty has been overwhelming, even if Fang Fang defeated Yuan Shao's Cao Cao, it cannot be compared with our New Han Dynasty. If the unification of the Han Dynasty, in fact, there has been a resolution a long time ago, the reason why it is necessary to bring it to the court and discuss it with all the adults is just to brainstorm and let everyone participate in it, after all, it is a great honor to unify the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, it also requires all the people in the court to work together to complete such an extraordinary cause. Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Today's situation in the world is good for our new Han Dynasty. First of all, let's talk about what enemies we have to face if we want to unify the world. ”
Xi Zhicai has already memorized the strength of the world.
He said: "With our New Han Dynasty as the center, it can be in four directions: southeast, northwest. To the east, it is the east of the Tiger Prison Pass and the Bishui Pass, which is Cao Cao's powerful territory. To the northeast, it is Yuan Shao. To the north, there are Gongsun Chan and Wuhuan aliens. In the south, in addition to being in contact with Cao Cao's power, it is Liu Biao's power, the west is Xiliang, and the northwest was originally the desert of the Huns, but now, it has been owned by our New Han Dynasty, so there is no need to consider the threat in this regard. ”
In addition, Dongting Lake Xinzhou, Jiangdong Qu'a and other places are facing Jiangdong, Lingnan, Yizhou and Hanzhong respectively. There are also countless potential forces large and small. As soon as Xi Zhicai beckoned, a waiter pulled down a large map on the wall of the hall and said, "Specifically, the map is clearly marked." If there is anyone who doesn't know much, you can come and watch it. ”
Liu Yi said at this time: "Okay, in fact, the princes of the Han Dynasty have been divided, although they have been fighting for many years, and occasionally the princes have been destroyed and disappeared from this historical stage, but, on the whole, the situation has not changed much, I believe that as long as you care about the current situation in the world, you will know it in your heart." ”
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, in fact, as early as a year ago, our cabinet and military department of the New Han Dynasty, as well as Taifu, have formulated a strategy on how to unify the Han Dynasty, that is, to attack from all sides and blossom from all sides. In order to achieve such a strategic goal for us, we have already ordered people to hide money and grain in various places for the use of our army, and no matter where our military horses conquer, there will be food to replenish. Xi Zhicai continued: "Therefore, now is the last time to discuss in the court before the official dispatch of troops, let you all consider together, whether there are loopholes in such a strategy, and if so, you can supplement them in time." Also, if this strategy doesn't work, then come up with a better strategy. ”
This grand strategic plan has indeed been discussed a few years ago, and Liu Yi feels that with the combat strength of his New Han Army, more than 20,000 people in each army can go out independently as a military horse, and the troops will be divided into many or dozens of roads, and at the same time start the battle to unify the Han Dynasty. In this way, Liu Yi felt that Fang could unify the Han Dynasty more quickly, end the turmoil of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, and enable the entire Han Dynasty to enter the period of Great Governance as soon as possible. If, like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the armies of the two sides are fighting for one city and one place, and the New Han army wants to seize one city and one place, how long will it take to unify the Han Dynasty?
The overall strategy is like this, and the specific division of troops will not be appointed until the strategy is decided. (To be continued......)
