In 190 AD, the first year of the Han Dynasty, in the middle of October, Yuan Tianlou sat in the first place with a solemn expression, Liu Tai, who was wearing a four-clawed purple dragon robe, looked very majestic, under Liu Tai, all the top staff, including Dongfang Jue, all arrived, and sat there quietly one by one, waiting for Liu Tai to speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Bonghyo, is the news accurate?" Liu Tai asked Guo Jiafa with a tense face, Guo Jia was already a twenty-year-old beautiful man at this time, and he had long lost the childishness of the past, and his every move was full of the demeanor of a wise man.

"Accurate!" Guo Jia nodded at Liu Tai, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, in the previous Cao Ying's expedition to the west, there was a man in black who followed Cao Ying's side, and he was deeply valued by Cao Ying, and everything must be discussed with him, and Kong Yu had no choice but to open the city and surrender, which is also the masterpiece of this person, in order to send this person's appearance, the Dragon Group has lost two elites!" ”

"Hey" Liu Tai sighed, nodded helplessly and said: "It seems that this old thing Jia Xu is indeed under Cao Ying, but the strange thing is that when did Jia Xu become Cao Ying's staff?" With Jia Xu's surname, it shouldn't be so simple to be subdued by Cao Ying. ”

"Tiger Prison!!" As soon as Liu Tai's words fell, Dongfang Jue suddenly said loudly, under Liu Tai's confused expression, Dongfang Jue continued: "Back then, Cao Xu guarded the Tiger Prison Pass, Jia Xu was in Liangzhou, if Jia Xu intended to come to Hebei or the Central Plains, he must go through the Tiger Prison Pass, with Cao Xu's knowledge of people, he may have already recruited Jia Xu as a staff member, but because Jia Xu's identity was too sensitive, Cao Xu has never dared to let him come to the stage. ”

"Heh" Liu Tai twitched his face, and glanced around at the many staff members present, including Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai, all of them nodded slightly, agreeing with Dongfang Jue's statement, but Liu Tai still didn't believe it, Cao Ying was just a school captain at the beginning, how could it be possible to know Jia Xu's ability? Besides, how could Jia Xu give up the nearby Dong Zhuo and choose the weak Cao Ying?

"That's it, this matter has been revealed, and the personnel of the second group of Dragon and Tiger should pay attention to it, Jia Xu's every move must be closely monitored, and there must be no mistakes." Liu Tai nodded, although he still didn't believe it, but since many wise men thought so, what else could Liu Tai say?

"No!" Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and at the same time got up and gave up to Liu Tai, the actions of the man in black were secretive, but the Dragon and Tiger Group 2, which had been established for so many years, was not vegetarian.

"This time, the widow Zhaoer and others came to discuss whether to enter Liangzhou, so let's talk about their opinions." After Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai retreated, Liu Tai glanced around and said loudly.

Liangzhou!

Liu Tai has been coveting Liangzhou for a long time, if Liangzhou falls into the hands of Liu Tai, it will be equivalent to cutting off the source of horses for the princes of the world, and it will be easier for the Tianci army to enter the Central Plains!

Of course, Liangzhou is not so easy to take, after all, at this time, Liangzhou is in the hands of Ma Teng and Han Sui, if it is taken hard, the loss will be not small, and the excessive loss is not what Liu Tai is happy to see.

"Lord, now that the Western Regions have just settled down and entered Liangzhou, is it a bit too hasty?" The frustrated professor, who had always been steady, sat on the couch and said to Liu Tai, in the opinion of the frustrated professor, Liangzhou does want to take it, but not now, at least it will have to wait for another two or three years!

"it? Hum! The widow can't wait, if he waits any longer, the vitality of my Han will be exhausted by these princes, how can the widow enter the western barbarian country, and how will my Han Shenwei spread ten thousand domains? Liu Tai snorted coldly, and said mercilessly to the frustrated teacher, what Liu Tai hates the most is waiting, waiting, waiting!

"Now that the king has decided, Weichen has no opinion." Seeing that Liu Tai was a little unhappy, a cold sweat fell on his forehead, and he bowed down and said.

Liu Tai nodded slightly, his face was a little embarrassed, I don't know why recently, Liu Tai felt that his temper was getting bigger and bigger, and his tone was getting more and more impulsive, if it continued like this, Liu Tai doubted that he would not embark on the path of Yuan Shao.

"Tian Feng, what do you think about the conquest of Liangzhou?" Liu Tai, who was sitting at the top, saw Tian Feng's expression a little strange, frowned and asked aloud, although Liu Tai was sure that Tian Feng did not approve of the Western Expedition, but after all, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu represented the civil officials of Bingzhou and Jizhou, and now that they scolded Fu Zhu, they naturally wanted to listen to Tian Feng's thoughts.

"My lord, if you go west to Liangzhou, will there be enough food, grass and ordnance?" Tian Feng stood up and asked Liu Tai. It's a bit off-topic, but when Tian Feng talks about material, most of the staff who don't want to start the Western Expedition so quickly are bright-eyed.

Liu Tai did not speak, but looked at Xun Yu, who was at the head of the staff, if he wanted to know whether the grain and grass were sufficient, it was the quickest to ask Xun Yu, after all, Xun Yu was in charge of the finances of the entire Hebei.

"Sufficient" Under Tian Feng's blazing gaze, Xun Yu said indifferently, as the head of civil officials, doesn't Xun Yu understand the thoughts of Tian Feng and others? But Xun Yu didn't dare to favor Tian Feng, after all, the grain, grass and ordnance were all registered in the account book, if Liu Tai expired in this matter, how many brains would Xun Yu have enough to chop?

"Well, can you maintain the Xiliang Battle for at least one year?" Liu Tai understands very well that once the war between Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang starts, it will become a super war of unprecedented scale, which will not only drive the melee in the Central Plains, but even Dong Zhuo of Sanfu and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong may intervene! But in Liu Tai's opinion, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Lu definitely don't dare to fight with Liu Tai!

"Yes, if there is no natural disaster, the government's grain stock can maintain the grain and grass supply of 200,000 troops for three years!" Xun Yu nodded, and said to Liu Tai, honest, very honest!

Liu Tai smiled, smiled very happily, the food of the 200,000 army for three years is enough for Liu Tai to squander, except for a few natural disasters in Hebei in recent years, most of them are bumper harvest years, and there is no gate lord clan to interfere with it, and the government will naturally collect more grain.

"Liangzhou, why do you need 200,000 troops? Now that the defense line in my northern Xinjiang is too long, the newly designated Mengzhou and Longzhou may be attacked by foreign tribes, and too many soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized, so the widow has decided to temporarily mobilize 120,000 iron cavalry and four legions! Liu Tai nodded his head, then glanced around at the crowd, and added, "What do you think?" ”

When everyone sitting down heard Liu Tai's words, their eyelids twitched one by one, because there was a big loophole in Liu Tai's words! That is, Liu Tai regarded Liangzhou as a prairie!!!

"Lord, Liangzhou is a vast land, if you conquer Liangzhou, at least you have to use more than 300,000 troops, only 120,000, even if you can attack it, you can't hold it, besides, these 120,000 troops are all iron horses, how to garrison the city defense?" Others didn't dare to say it, but Tian Feng, whose surname was straight, didn't have any scruples, stood up, and said to Liu Tai.

His face turned red, and Liu Tai, who reacted, was really a little embarrassed, and he actually forgot such an important common sense, although Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, it is very suitable for cavalry combat, but the problem is that Liangzhou is a county in the inner state of the Han Dynasty, not a prairie, will there be fewer cities and villages? If there are no foot soldiers and the place is captured, who will guard it? Is it possible to let the cavalry garrison??

"Well, what Yuan Hao said is exactly, so let's add an infantry legion, a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, of course, if the front-line troops are in short supply, they can be deployed from the rear at any time." made a big fuss, and Liu Tai saved it in time, but except for blushing, as if nothing happened, it seems that Liu Tai's face is really thick.

"150,000...."Guo Jia, the head of the young staff, muttered softly, in Guo Jia's opinion, 150,000 soldiers and horses want to conquer Xiliang, it is really a fool's dream, you know, Liangzhou Ma, Han and Dong Zhuo of Sanfu, no less than 600,000 soldiers and horses, even if the Tianci army is strong, it is also a human being!

"What? Do you have an opinion? Liu Tai's ears are surprisingly sensitive, Guo Jia just muttered, Liu Tai heard it clearly, seeing Guo Jia's depressed expression, Liu Tai wanted to laugh a little, but considering Guo Jia's inhuman strategic mind, he couldn't laugh.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo had a full 450,000 army back then, even if there was a little loss in the middle, at least there were 3.67 million troops, plus the soldiers and horses of Xiliang Horse and Han, at least there were more than 500,000, with 150,000 against 500,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses, are we a little at a loss?" Guo Jia nodded, and did not hide his thoughts in the slightest!

"How can the combat power of the Heavenly Army be comparable to that rabble? Besides, Dong Zhuo has long lost his former prestige, and he is just an old waste who is struggling to survive, if Xiliang starts a war, is it possible for Dong Zhuo to lead his troops to help? Liu Tai frowned, originally thinking that Guo Jia was worried about something, but he didn't think that he was worried about the disparity in strength between the two sides.

"Yes, it's absolutely possible!" Guo Jia said to Liu Tai with a solemn expression: "Although the military power of Xiliang is not in the hands of Dong Zhuo, but nominally, Ma and Han still respect Dong Zhuo as the leader. ”

"En" Liu Tai frowned and replied slightly, although Liu Tai thought that Dong Zhuo would not dare to fight hard, but what if there was a case? You must know that although Xiliang is on the edge of Bingzhou, there is still a Qianghu in the middle that has not been solved, and when the time comes, Qianghu will join Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, and Han Sui to attack the northern Xinjiang, and Liu Tai will have no good fruit to eat.

"In the opinion of filial piety, how many soldiers and horses should I mobilize in northern Xinjiang?" Since I can't grasp it in my heart, let's ask it, although Liu Tai has the knowledge of thousands of people such as Guo Jia, but history has completely changed at this time, since this is the case, let the celebrities who created these histories find a way.

"The three-way army can be mobilized, but the last two roads do not need to go west for the time being, the most important thing is the first road, and the first road army has the heaviest task, with 210,000 soldiers and horses, four cavalry corps, and three infantry corps are the best, as for the westward expedition route, you can directly cross the Yellow River from Hanoi County into Hedong County, since Dong Zhuo will definitely start, then why don't I start first in northern Xinjiang?" A confident smile hung on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, halfway through speaking, he glanced around at the people present and continued: "Hedong has no Yellow Turban cholera, the population is sufficient, there are many rich families, and it is highly valued by Dong Zhuo, if Hedong falls into the hands of my northern Xinjiang, Dong Zhuo will definitely be greatly injured, at this time, our army uses Hedong County as a springboard to enter Liangzhou, not only can bypass the Qianghu territory, but also ensure a stable rear, in this way, isn't it wonderful?" ”

"Hedong?" Liu Tai squinted his eyes and muttered softly, then looked at Gao Shun, who had not spoken, and said loudly: "Fuyi, let Wei Jie command the three infantry legions, the widow wants to see, Wei Jie's heart is important in the family, or in my great cause in the northern Xinjiang!" ”

"No!" Gao Shun did not hesitate at all, in Gao Shun's opinion, it was a matter of course to send Wei Zhuo to recruit it, which was also Gao Shun's idea. Hedong Wei Valve's family has a big cause, if the Wei Valve and Dong Zhuo join forces, the loss of the Tianci Army will be heavy, but Wei Jie's expedition will be completely reversed, no matter what, Wei Jie is the door of the Wei Valve, no matter how awkward he is, he is still a family on the surface!

Wei Jie is the general! Dong Zhuo will never dare to unite with the guard valve!

"The lord is clever in this move! If Wei Jie is the general, then all the difficulties in conquering Hedong can be easily solved. Recently, Chen Gong handed over most of the duties of the Criminal Department to the freshmen in Northern Xinjiang to take care of, and his official duties were relaxed, and his appearance was much better.

"Your Majesty, since Wei Xian is going to conquer Hedong, why don't you give Wei Xian a chance? In the past few years, Wei Xian's contribution in Zhenyuan County is not small, if he doesn't improve, it really can't be said. After Chen Gong's words fell, Zhong Xuan, who was in charge of the promotion of officials, stepped forward and bowed to Liu Tai and said.

"Wei Xian??" Liu Tai was stunned, and when he saw Zhong Xuan's serious appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, the widow can't favor anyone, this time the widow will give some highly qualified generals and Wenchen a good opportunity to make contributions, so let's appoint Zhao Yun as the general of the former army, and command the 210,000 Tianci army to conquer Xiliang, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao, Guan Hai, Huang Xu, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and other young generals can go out with the army." ”

"There are also Guo Jia, Dongfang Jue, Wei Xian, Chen Yi, Liu Sheng, Li Hua and the outstanding military academy disciples who specialize in battlefield strategy as military advisors with the army, if you are selected, let Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai arrange it!" In one breath, Liu Tai allocated a large number of young officials, originally Liu Tai wanted to keep Guo Jia, but thinking that the Western Expedition was very important, and without Guo Jia in charge, Liu Tai was really not at ease.

"The last general, Zhao Yun, is ordered!" Zhao Yun was also in the study at this time, and saw Zhao Yun with a trace of dazed expression on his face, under Gao Shun's signal, he stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order, although Zhao Yun had served as a general many times in the past few years, but he had never had such a huge scale!

Zhao Yun was a little flustered! After all, Zhao Yun was only a young man in his twenties at this time, and his seniority in the army was not high, so he was promoted to a general so quickly, he was really a little anxious, you know, even Gao Shun, Huang Zhong and a group of the oldest generals were just generals at this time, and they had not been awarded the position of general!

"Zilong, don't worry, try your best to fight, with the guidance of Fengxiao and Lingyin, it will definitely not be difficult for you!" Zhao Yun looked blank, and Liu Tai naturally saw it. mentioned Zhao Yun as a general, in fact, Liu Tai had this idea for a long time, after all, there are many generals in Northern Xinjiang, and there are not many leading generals with surnames, among which the situation of young generals is the most serious!

Of course, even if Zhao Yun becomes a general, he is not an orthodox general, after all, the word forward is added in front, if the word can be removed, then Zhao Yun's status in Northern Xinjiang will be high, but so far, Liu Tai has no idea of handing over the power of the Tianci army. "Lord, the last general is willing to be the forward general, but the general is called, please take it back, the last general can't afford it!" Zhao Yun, who came back to his senses, suddenly thought that if he received the title of this general, then there would be a big trouble in the future, you know, although the Tianci Army is a monolith, there are still many camps in it, and the competition is very fierce, such as the Bingzhou Military Department, the Youzhou Central Military Department, the Jizhou Military Department, and so on

"Zilong, the position of the general, with your military exploits, you are fully qualified to bear it, of course, this general is not the other general, when the Xiliang Battle is over, the widow will take back the title, but at this time, you must not refuse!" Liu Tai thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to have a deadline, after all, Liu Tai was not the emperor at this time, and if he was prematurely promoted to the position of general, it would make many people dissatisfied, and it would also make the Tianci army lose its sharpness.

What Liu Tai is worried about is not that the princes of the world will be dissatisfied, but the situation of disputes within the Tianci Army and the Tianci Army, no one knows better than Liu Tai, which is also deliberately done by Liu Tai, you know, in any military group, if there is no competition, it will become a pool of stagnant water!

After the backwater is self-righteous and arrogant in the world, Guan Yu's situation in history is like this, in that era, Guan Yu in Liu Bei's regime, can be said to be the well-deserved head of the military, no one is qualified to compete with him, resulting in the later stage, even Zhuge Liang, who is the prime minister, can only appease Guan Yu.

The arrogant Guan Yu thought he was invincible in the world, ignored Zhuge Liang's policy, and gave Wu an opportunity to take advantage of it, which greatly damaged the vitality of Shu and lost the strategic location of Jingzhou, resulting in the final Shu State until Zhuge Liang died, and he was not able to enter the Central Plains!

In order to repeat the mistakes of the past, Liu Tai naturally will not allow any military family to dominate, although the competition in the Tianci army is very large, and there are many generals who do not like each other in private, but they are all good surname competition, and they have not developed to the point of life and death enemies, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Tai holds the ruler of balance.

And before letting Zhao Yun come to power this time, Liu Tai's meaning was obvious, that is, to slap those veterans and let them know that it was Liu Tai who was in charge of Northern Xinjiang, no matter how fierce their competition was, as long as they didn't get Liu Tai's permission, it would be of no use at all!

Of course, Liu Tai also has another meaning, that is, I hope that they can pay more attention to their own development and strive for greater progress, you know, at this time, the strength of the northern Xinjiang has surpassed the other princes too much, so that they all think in their hearts that the world's heroes are just grass mustard, this kind of arrogant idea is unacceptable!

Liu Tai does not allow this kind of mind to exist! But it is inevitable that the senior generals in the Tianci army generally began to think so, and even made a lot of nonsense in private, which made Liu Tai angry, but to be honest, the biggest reason why the generals have this idea is still in Liu Tai himself, although Liu Tai has never looked down on the princes of the world, but more than a thousand years of advanced knowledge has subtly made Liu Tai think that he is superior
