Half a month later, in the Zhengde Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Zhang Xiu's ministers gathered. After half a month of celebration, although the people of Chang'an City have not fully recovered from the excitement, they have also resumed production due to the approaching spring ploughing. As for Zhang Xiu and the ministers, this was the first official court meeting.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Wen He has something to say, although I ascended the throne as the emperor, the court meeting is the same as before. ”

Jia Xu nodded, and did not dwell on these, but said: "Your Majesty, under Fang today, my Huaguo has seven points. Please Your Majesty, send troops to destroy the Han Dynasty and conquer the world! ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, pondered for a while, and said: "What Wenhe said is reasonable, but it was only last year that Jiangdong was pacified, and the soldiers were tired. If there is another big war, I am afraid that the combat strength will not be able to catch up. In addition, since the beginning of the expedition to Nanzhong, there has been no stop to the war, and I am afraid that there is also a shortage of grain and grass, and it is inevitably a little disadvantageous to start a big war at this time. ”

Zhong Xuan heard it and said: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable, there is indeed a shortage of grain and grass, and it is not suitable for a big war. ”

Seeing Zhang Xiu sweeping over with a puzzled gaze, Jia Xu smiled and said: "What Your Majesty and Prime Minister Zhong Cheng said are reasonable, so the minister thinks that this year's expedition is only to prepare for the destruction of the Han Dynasty." ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu heard this, his spirit came, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Wenhe's plan?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, and then said: "After discussing with several other military advisors, the minister did have some benefits. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled when he heard this: "Wen is gentle and carefully." ”

Jia Xu smiled lightly: "In fact, this plan was made by His Majesty, and the ministers just relied on the gourd to draw a scoop." Zhang Xiu heard it, let out a light "oh", and did not speak again. Jia Xu beckoned, asked the soldiers to pick up the map, and then pointed while saying: "When Your Majesty first leveled Jingzhou, it was to attack Jiaozhou from Nanzhong, and then take Jingzhou, and make a detour behind enemy lines. And to take Jiangdong, it is also used this strategy, so after the ministers and others discussed, they thought that this strategy could also be used in the world. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "Last year, Cao Cao sent troops to the northern prairie to grab grain, and the battle with Xianbei in the east was extremely fierce. After the war, the eastern Xianbei suffered a lot of losses, and the ministers thought that this was an excellent time to send troops, and His Majesty could send cavalry out of the steppe to wipe out the Hu people in one fell swoop, and we could also use the Xiongnu and the Qian. Speaking of the Qi clan, Jia Xu winked at Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu saw it, he nodded knowingly. Jia Xu then pointed to the map and said: "As long as the eastern Xianbei is swept away, our Huaguo Iron Cavalry can directly take the northern part of Youzhou and take everything outside the Great Wall." In this way, after taking the northern side, the strategic encirclement of the Han court can be completed. And wait until next year, our army will be able to attack on a large scale, and the world will be decided! ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, touched his chin, and said to himself: "Set Liaodong first? Then he smiled lightly and said, "Interesting." At the same time, his eyes were already on the peninsula on the right side of Liaodong on the map. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu asked Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, is there a boat in Jiangdong that can go to sea?" ”

"A ship that can go to sea?"

Hearing Zhang Xiu's question, everyone was stunned for a moment. However, all the people present were elites, and after hearing it, they all thought about it.

Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Yes, yes, but not much, and most of the sea ships are on Yizhou." If His Majesty wants to use it, he must transfer the sea ship from Yizhou. ”

Zhang Xiu naturally knew what Yizhou was, and it was the first time that Han people had set foot in Yizhou at this time. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu asked, "How long will it take to transfer the sea ship from Yizhou?" And how many people can be carried on the sea boats there."

Zhou Yu silently calculated for a moment, and then replied: "I'm afraid it will take more than three months to pass through and transfer." Carrying soldiers, it should be around 10,000 people. ”

Zhang Xiu touched his chin again and read: "Ten thousand people, plus the rest of the warships, it's enough!" After that, Zhang Xiu said loudly: "Wenhe's plan to take Liaodong is very good, and now I will add another stroke and take down Sanhan." ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. Fa Zheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Sanhan is a vassal, and besides, its land is in the north, so it is of little use to take it down." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and said with a slight smile: "These three Hans are vassals of the Han Court, not my vassals. Naturally, I want to take it down, and besides, this land of Sanhan was founded by Jizi, the uncle of the king of Shang, and it is also the land of my China. The so-called whole world is not the king's land, and it is time for my Chinese remnants to return to my Chinese governance. Moreover, I heard that those Sanhan natives said that Confucius was their clansman. ”

Hearing this, Pang Tong asked with some puzzlement: "Why would Your Majesty say that those Sanhan natives would say that Confucius is their clansman?" ”

Zhang Xiu snorted lightly and said, "Those Sanhan natives have thick skins. They say that Confucius is their clan, and Confucius is the nephew of Jizi and the descendant of Weizi, so they will say that Confucius is their clansman. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, everyone present laughed in unison, and Pang Tong kept patting the desk and laughing: "It's really a big joke in the world, so in this way, isn't the land of Sanhan my land of China?" ”

Zhuge Liang was more cautious and asked further: "Are those Sanhan natives really saying that?" ”

Zhang Xiu naturally nodded seriously, and at the same time said secretly in his heart: "I'm not lying, those Korean natives did say so, but the time was 1,800 years later." ”

Ma heard this, and said angrily: "Damn natives, although I don't worship Confucius, but Confucius is a dignified Chinese, how could he become those natives, it's a bastard!" Your Majesty, give 3,000 iron horsemen, kill all those natives, and see if they dare to say such big words! ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said: "Meng Qi can't make a big deal and kill evil, just give those natives a proper lesson." ”

At this time, Zhang Ren said: "Your Majesty, it is okay to send troops to capture Sanhan. But now that our army is confronting the Han court, it may not be appropriate to disperse our forces to take three Hans. ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the strength of Sanhan is not strong, as Meng Qi said, three thousand iron horses are enough to flatten." Moreover, Liaodong is bitterly cold, if Liaodong is taken, the supply of food and grass for our army will be too far, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by Cao Cao. If Sanhan is taken, the grain and grass of Sanhan can be used to supply the needs of the army, and after Sanhan is in Liaodong, the grain road will not be easily taken advantage of by Cao Cao, so it will be more than one stone. ”

Everyone listened to Zhang Xiu's plan and nodded in unison. After Zhang Xiu saw that everyone agreed, he said: "I think that the cavalry should be the main force to take the right Beiping. As for the land of Samhan, it can be attacked by sea. Fang Cai Gongjin said that it would take three months to transfer sea ships from Yizhou, and the rest of the warships could be modified in March, so that a large army could be formed to attack Samhan. Counting the distance, when the iron cavalry attacks the north of Sanhan, the army of the sea route can also board the south6, and then two attacks can be made, and Sanhan and Liaodong can be determined! ”

Jia Xu and the others glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. When Zhang Xiu saw it, he said: "Xingba, the sea route army is led by you, Xiaozhi is the military division of the army, Huo Jun, Xu Sheng, Ling Tong, and Zhu Huan are the deputies. I will send craftsmen to transform the warships, and I will also let Ziyi and them cooperate, and when the ships of Yizhou arrive, they will lead the army out, and the army will be selected from the Jiangdong army. ”

Gan Ning and the others heard it, and at the same time they responded: "Promise ......"

The Jiangdong Army now has more people, first Zhang Xiu left 70,000 people to Tai Shici, and then there are 100,000 Jiangdong troops who surrendered. The 100,000 Jiangdong Army is now too scattered, and Zhang Xiu took this opportunity to let Gan Ning train the 100,000 army, which is also a good thing, and by the way, it can also reduce the pressure on Tai Shici.

It was relatively easy to attack all the way from the sea, after all, the opponent was only those natives of Samhan. And the three Koreas are not unified now, Zhang Xiu believes that it is enough to have the law in charge.

Turning his head, he looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, send troops to attack Liaodong on the prairie, I'm afraid Cao Cao will send troops to stop it." I thought that this battle should be used with elites. ”

Jia Xu heard it, nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true. In grassland warfare, cavalry should come first, and Cao Cao must know this. It is thought that in this battle, the thunder cavalry, the cloud cavalry, the flying feather bow cavalry, and the Qianghu iron cavalry will act together, and the cavalry sent by Cao Cao must be annihilated in one fell swoop, so that the road to the world will be swept away a major obstacle! However, this battle is not the final battle, so His Majesty does not need to personally conquer, only needs to send a general to lead the troops. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded, and at the same time his eyes fell on Zhao Yun. After Zhao Yun saw it, he immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops out of the prairie to attack Liaodong!" ”

Zhang Xiu said loudly: "Okay! In this battle, Zilong was in charge, leading 20,000 thunder cavalry, 30,000 cloud cavalry, 20,000 flying feather bow cavalry and 30,000 Qianghu iron cavalry, a total of 100,000 troops to attack Liaodong! Meng Qi and Bo Fu, the two of you are deputy generals, Shi Yuan and Zijing, and you are the military advisors of the army. ”

Ma was overjoyed when he heard this, and Sun Ce, Pang Tong and Lu Su came out together and responded: "No! ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Who else does Zilong want to accompany the army, just draw up a list and hand it to me." Zhao Yun heard it, and he should have given it up.

At this time, Zhang Quan suddenly came out and said: "Father, the child hopes to go on the expedition with General Zhao!" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Zhao Yun and asked, "Zilong, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while, nodded and said, "With the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is naturally very good." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "In this way, you and the people of the Prince's Mansion will go to battle with the army, but everything must be ordered by Zilong." ”

Zhang Quan heard it and arched his hand: "The child understands, please rest assured!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, then waved his hand and said, "So, retreat!" ”

……

Zhang Xiu ascended the throne, and the west and south of China were jubilant, while the east was lifeless. Linzi Chengxiang Mansion, a group of Chinese military ministers, almost gathered in the mansion.
