Chapter 43 Planning and preparing for war, the world is shocked
(Collect!) Ask for recommendations! Ask for a review! )
At the end of the year, it will be spring again.
The county seat of Gyeyang, among the county guards,
Liu Xiu held the holy decree in his hand, and excitedly ordered: "Xuanzhong civil and military affairs!" ”
"Whoa!" The subordinate took the command and went away.
A moment later, in the hall of the county guard's mansion, Liu Xiu's civil and military forces sat down.
"I don't know if the lord is looking for me to come, but the holy decree has arrived?!" Liu Bowen saw that Fang Xuanling was also in the list, so he asked.
Liu Xiu was happy at this time, and replied with a laugh: "That's true, nothing can escape Berwyn's eyes!" Ha ha! ”
When Liu Bowen heard this, he also shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "The lord of Jiguan is so happy, it must be that the matter has been done!?" I don't know how? ”
Liu Bowen looked at Fang Xuanling as he spoke, wanting to know the details.
Liu Xiu didn't wait for Fang Xuanling to speak, and then said with a smile: "Berwin, look at this holy decree"
Saying that, Liu Xiu handed the holy decree to everyone to watch, and said with a smile: "I am now also a marquis and a general, and I am also the governor of Jingnan Military Administration!" Hahaha"
Liu Bowen took the holy decree and carefully checked the wording and sentences on the holy decree, and saw that every word was appropriate and proper, and there was a great praise between the words;
After reading the holy decree, Liu Bowen understood many things, and asked Fang Xuanling with a smile: "It seems that Xuanling has made a lot of meritorious contributions in the north this time, and our Majesty is extremely happy?!" ”
"Berwyn praises!" Fang Xuanling bowed his hand and said politely: "It's just a little luckier, mainly because of the situation that the lord told me, that he was so successful!" ”
"This is Xuan Ling's work, how can it be counted on me!" Liu Xiu smiled and said politely: "Xuan Ling, or tell me about the specific situation?" ”
"Whoa!" Regarding the ridicule of the two, Fang Xuanling could only smile bitterly and shook his head, and began to talk about what happened after he went north: "After I arrived in Luoyang, I found that the emperor did not go to Luoyang, so I went all the way to Chang'an, and after searching, I observed for a few days before I rescued the emperor when he was in the most danger, and then according to the information provided by the lord, everything was done according to the original plan."
Fang Xuanling said carefully, and everyone listened carefully.
After Liu Xiu listened, he couldn't wait to say: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, whether the emperor can use the emperor to contain the development speed of the Central Plains princes can only depend on the ability of the little emperor!" ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiu immediately changed the conversation and said: "Now that I have an official position, I can completely take over the four counties of Jingnan after the beginning of spring, and then, should we expand immediately?" ”
Liu Xiu's problem, everyone is considering, to fight the world, either to fight one place and operate another, or to go all out to conquer it, and then carry out long-term governance; The order is different, but there is no superiority, it just depends on the timing.
After listening to Liu Xiu's questioning, Wei Rui first spoke: "Now there are 40,000 horses in Guiyang County and Changsha County, most of them are either recruits or surrendered soldiers, and they still need training; Therefore, if the lord wants to go on the expedition, he will need at least two months of training time, and Guiyang can send 30,000 troops at that time, and Changsha can also send 10,000 soldiers and horses! ”
Wei Rui is in charge of military affairs, and whether to send troops or not, he only analyzes one factor: soldiers.
Fang Xuanling also said solemnly: "I have also counted the available grain and grass and other resources, if the lord wants to go on the expedition, the army rations that have been hoarded now, as General Wei just said, are only enough for the lord's army of 40,000 for half a year!" ”
Listening to these soldiers and horses, the restrictions on food and grass, the more Liu Xiu listened, the more distressed he became, and his brows became deeper and deeper!
He also muttered to himself: "Next February, 40,000 people, June!" ”
At this time, Liu Bowen concluded: "The lord doesn't need to worry, even if the time, grain, grass, soldiers and horses are limited, the lord has a choice!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Bowen stood up, pointed to the map of the Han Dynasty in the hall and said: "Lord, look, now the lord is in Jingnan, and Liu Jingzhou is in the north, and it cannot be attacked, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the statement; The west leads to Shuzhong and Nanban, and the road is difficult to travel, which is also unfavorable; Jiaozhou in the south, the road is far away, it takes too long, it is not in line with today, and it is not optional! ”
Speaking of this, everyone understands what Liu Bowen wants to express, so Liu Xiu analyzed it himself and said: "Therefore, my best choice is Yuzhang County in Yangzhou, in the east!" Yuzhang County not only does not have many soldiers, but the road is also very close, and all the conditions are met! ”
"What the lord said is good! And if the lord can get Yuzhang County, he can bypass Jingbei and go straight to the Central Plains! There is no need to be trapped in the land of Jingnan because of Liu Jingzhou! Liu Bowen explained again.
"Good! Good! Liu Xiu immediately made a decision: "Order, Fang Xuanling immediately mobilizes grain and grass, Wei Huaiwen intensifies the training of soldiers, and in February of the next year, the soldiers will enter Yuzhang!" ”
Not to mention that Liu Xiu began to plan expansion after he got the official title, and on the other hand, the little emperor Liu Xie, who got Fang Xuanling's help, is also worthy of being the emperor in the hands of Cao Cao for so long in later generations, and he acted very smoothly.
The little emperor has been brave enough to rely on the thousands of Western Liang soldiers he subdued, and he smoothly returned to Luoyang.
Along the way, he even relied on Xu Huang's martial arts to subdue nearly 10,000 horses and countless grains, rice, offerings, and thin grains and rice, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hedong and Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi;
When the group returned to Luoyang, they already had 20,000 soldiers, although they were not much, but they couldn't bear Liu Xie's name as the emperor.
However, the development and growth of the little emperor obviously gave a lot of constraints to the princes of the Central Plains, among which Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were the main ones, these two people were the largest princes in the Central Plains, dominating one side, but now there is an emperor with real power on the head, which has caused them a lot of inconvenience.
In the past, if you didn't respect orders, it can be said that someone controlled the court, but now what can you say.
For a time, the princes of the Central Plains were discussing how they should face the call of the imperial court
And this change of the little emperor also caused great trouble to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's Yanzhou is the closest to Luoyang, and Cao Cao has long planned to welcome the Son of Heaven, and even the idea of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' has also been thought about, but now he never thought that the little emperor had 20,000 troops, although only 20,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to stop him Cao Cao, but he could not blatantly send troops to attack.
I saw that in Cao Cao's mansion, a group of strategists gathered.
After a period of silence, it was Cao Cao himself who spoke first, and he laughed first: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a ability, and when you return to Luoyang, you can still raise so many people!" Yes?! Hahaha"
Cao Cao's words woke up everyone who was thinking, but the newcomer Guo Jia smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that this is not something Your Majesty can do by himself!" ”
"Oh?!" Cao Cao's strategists immediately looked at Guo Jia, and even the sick drama Zhicai on the side also stared at Guo Jia.
"What's the explanation?"
Guo Jia didn't care, just held a small wine jug in his hand, and continued with a smile: "If Your Majesty has such ability, why should you be trapped in Chang'an for several years!" And as far as Jia knows, not long ago, His Majesty was chased and killed by Li Dao, until Shaanxi County, Li Dao was suddenly killed, and His Majesty also surrendered the Xiliang Army under Li Dao, presumably His Majesty was rescued in this place, and it was also a strategy offered by this person for His Majesty to subdue such soldiers and horses! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately turned his head and asked Cheng Yu, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Cheng Yu had always been in charge of all the intelligence work under Cao Cao, so he asked him.
"That's true!"
