Looking at the information in his hand, Li Yu sometimes really feels that providence makes people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Cao has gone on an expedition to the Western Regions, and when his general went to the Western Regions, his ideal of the pinnacle of life has been completed, and it seems that the new ideal is to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, and at the same time go to the westerly places to see more different scenery.

Now the Cao family is also like a mainstay in the Han Empire, and the Xiahou family, which is in alliance with it, is also a force that cannot be underestimated. Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and even Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang all served in the army, and among the younger generations, Cao Xiu, Cao De, Cao Anmin, Cao Chun, etc. entered the military and political circles, and Cao Cao no longer had to carry the banner of the Cao family alone.

Is this the greatest irony of the century?

Sun Jian was supposed to be an existence that was going to be buried, but he didn't want to rise rapidly in the past few years, and now he has firmly sat in Jiaozhou and occupied the four southern counties. The three sons of Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Sun Yi are all rare generals and handsome talents, and Sun Quan is even more Yunwen Yunwu; The fourth son and grandson Kuang are weak and not good at martial arts, but they are quite insightful in governing the country; Only Sun Lang's qualifications are mediocre, Sun Jian commented that he is eating and waiting for death, anyway, it is also from Ding's concubine, and it seems that he is not taken too seriously.

Not to mention Liu Bei, his rise should have become more difficult, after all, Guan Yu was poached by himself. But still relying on the drill camp, he first became a relative of the Han family, and then directly became the son-in-law of Yuan Valve, so he gradually became a representative supported by Yuan Valve, and his prestige in Yanzhou became greater and greater, and even began to have a certain influence in Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

Now he has nothing to do with the army at all, giving up all military power and devoting himself to administration; But his brother-in-law Zhang Fei is also advancing by leaps and bounds, sitting firmly in the position of general Zhengnan, the two themselves have no blood relationship, but no one can shake the brotherhood of the two, so that one article and one military force are not subordinate to each other, but they also cooperate with each other to firmly grasp the military and political power of the three states.

Under his rule, Liu Bei also appropriately selected some innocent scholars, so his reputation among the people was also very high. The scholars from the poor family who were promoted naturally became his descendants. Even if it only occupies a small position in the local government at this stage, it may not be possible to go further in the future.

The three of them have their own experiences, and Li Yu can only sigh that gold is really gold, talents are talents in the end, and it is not surprising that they have emerged in the era of lack of talents. Even if they unified Huaxia by themselves, couldn't they go far away to continue to start over? It seems that there are only two options to either use them or to eliminate them completely......

Sun Jian reorganized the army in Jiaozhou in a very short period of time, and the overall army has expanded to 200,000. In terms of armament, the technical aspect may be insufficient, and after Liu Zhang ascended the throne, he worked hard to develop technology, whether it was military or civilian. After Sun Jian obtained Jiaozhou, he also increased investment in this area, so that the armament technology was also greatly improved.

The only problem is that the population of Jiaozhou is not large, and it is indeed in a wild place, Sun Jian does not have much expectations for Jiaozhou. However, relying on the technology left by Liu Zhang, he did have the strength to fight against the Han Empire.

After a short rest, Sun Jian began to gather 60,000 troops in Wuling County, Wuling County, and prepared to go north.

This move naturally did not hide from the Han Empire, and the Xiahou brothers sent a letter to Chang'an while seizing the time to prepare for war, explaining the matter. However, he was not too nervous about Sun Jian's side, after all, there was a Yangtze River between the two.

Jingzhou's Jiangling Naval Army, the Han Empire has always invested manpower and material resources to build, and the commanders are Jingzhou's original generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. In Jiangxia County, there is a Jiangxia Navy led by Huang Zu, which can go south to support at any time.

As long as Sun Jian can't cross the Yangtze River, then even if he can mobilize more soldiers, there is actually nothing to be afraid of.

The Han Empire was different from before, and the Beacon System further began to be popularized, which made the transmission of war messages further improved. According to this system, if there is an enemy invasion on the border, the beacon fire will be lit as soon as possible, and then passed all the way to Chang'an. All towns along the way began to enter a state of three-level alert, and at least the supplies needed for the war must be prepared.

Beacons are much faster than fast horses, and an invasion on the front line can often be known to the rear within a day or two, compared to the previous days, which often took several days to know and deal with, which is much better.

If there is a beacon fire on the front line, then Chang'an City will immediately mobilize a large number of troops, or at least do a good job of war mobilization. Once you have prepared the report and the letter for help, you will almost arrive, so that you can start running to the front line immediately.

However, this time it was only a warning, so the beacon fire was not lit, and a few days later, with the arrival of Xiahoudun's letter, the discussion began on how to deal with the matter.

"Zhong Aiqing thinks that this matter should be handled?" Liu Wei had a headache, and he always couldn't see his strength clearly.

If you really want to deal with Sun Jian, it's actually just a simple matter. After two years of self-repair, the original damage has been filled to a certain extent, in other words, the cost of repair can be reduced a lot if it is knocked down at this moment.

In addition, the national highway leading from Hanzhong to Shangyong and finally entering Jingzhou through Fangling also began to be opened, which further strengthened the control of Jingzhou by the Han Empire. Not to mention, they also learned from the Chinese Republic, built a wooden railway, and accelerated the transportation of materials, in the event of a war, they could quickly rush to the front line in Hanzhong within three days, and the follow-up materials would arrive one after another.

The only problem is that just two days ago, the Southern Xiongnu also brazenly launched an attack on the Qianghu and even the Xianbei tribe in the northwest. Powerful repeating crossbows, fierce iron cavalry, and even wooden or stone-shelled grenades were thrown in, and those barbaric and backward steppe peoples fled in disarray. This attack harvested a large number of prisoners, who were directly used as laborers to build cities and roads in the local area, so that the Southern Xiongnu, the Han Republic and the Xianbei grassland were completely linked.

The caravans purchased a large number of livestock, furs and even wool, and even arranged for officials to go to the local government to manage civil affairs, and arranged for soldiers to be stationed on the frontier, so that the control of the Han Republic over the grassland was further enhanced.

The people at the bottom of the grassland, themselves are only forced to live, so they have to pick up the saber, as the big tribe goes south to fight the grass valley, as long as they can survive, they generally will not attack casually, after all, there are not many people, they can't afford to consume.

Through the external expansion of the Southern Xiongnu, the border between the Han Republic and the Han Empire was further expanded, but the other side did not stop its horse steps, but continued to attack the west. In this case, everyone can see that its ultimate goal is to go directly to Wusun Kingdom!

Can't go directly to the traditional Western Silk Road, so plan to open up another Silk Road? Even if this road may be farther, the problem is that it is an exclusive existence, and there is no need to consult with the country at all, and it is not even possible to go south to plunder the caravans of the country, which will also have a certain impact on the subsequent trade.

Yesterday, everyone had already discussed whether to go north to intercept and not let them continue to expand like this. But I didn't want to receive the news that Sun Jian was swallowed in Xiaoling County today.

Multi-front operations have always been taboo for soldiers, especially in the two different directions of the south and the north, and the transportation of materials is a huge problem.

What Liu Wei wants to ask now is 'how to deal with this matter and who is the real enemy'. Naturally, the courtiers knew this, and after a brief silence, they played one after another.

The first to stand up, of course, was Liu Bian's chief manager Xun Yu, who was no less than Zhang Liang and Xiao He Zhicai, and he had never lived up to Liu Bian's trust in him.

"Your Majesty, Sun Jian can't cross the Yangtze River! The Western Regions is the top priority, and it is related to an important source of tax revenue in our country. Xun Yu said slowly.

"There is a Jiangling naval army stationed on the Yangtze River, but there is no security, only need to arrange armaments and materials, and prevent Sun Jian from crossing the river, then the southern front does not need to worry too much. On the contrary, if the hidden dangers in the north are not eliminated, then Liangzhou and the Western Regions will inevitably not be bothered in the future, and the Silk Road will never be peaceful! Zhang Lu also stood up, which was regarded as a supplement to Xun Yu's speech.

The matter was almost settled, and the tilt of supplies was mainly tilted towards the battlefield in the north, and the south was mainly on defense. After all, even if you conquer the four southern counties or even Jiaozhou, what you get is just a wild land, and its value is not high. It is good to expand the territory, but for example, the Sahara Desert should be taken down as a national territory...... Who wants to live there...... So the significance of expanding the territory is not so great.

At the same time, after two years of recuperation, Lü Bu gradually recovered, and the army had another 50,000. Almost the entire regime was built into an army by him. Nationalism, coupled with the constant propaganda of the propaganda troops, although the enthusiasm of the people is not high, but the call for opening up the territory and expanding the territory is also very high, and the most enthusiastic is to take back Qingzhou.

Lu Bu is not an open-minded existence, and the revenge of the past is naturally to be avenged. So he also sharpened his knives and planned to settle and liquidate with Liu Bei.

As for the Huaxia Republic, not to mention, the land of the five counties has been initially controlled, and the call for continuing to expand the territory is also very high among the people. Li Yu really did not carry out propaganda and mobilization, and it was completely a spontaneous petition from the people.

The eight armies have also been training for too long, and they also hope to have a chance to fight. The last thing a warrior wants is to exercise his martial arts and abilities, but in the end, there is no place for them. What is even more terrifying is that the autonomous region also has a cruel 45-year-old retirement system, and hundreds of soldiers have been discharged because they have reached their age.

In the face of his call, Li Yu also looked at the map of Huaxia. Huaxia is so big, where do I start...... (To be continued.) )
