Chapter 897: What is bitter is life, and what is cold is the heart.

After figuring out the trick, Wang Xuan's brows also relaxed, "Since the target of these guys is the grassland aliens, why are they doing such a roundabout thing!" ”

"Hahaha, isn't there just such a reason, otherwise, they would dare to casually bring up the matter of the soldiers' war." Seeing that Wang Xuan's expression relaxed, Liu Bei knew that Wang Xuan had an idea, and he was naturally relieved.

"Then let's go on the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition to the grassland is not bad, dealing with foreign races, opening up territory, how can it be much stronger than the nest."

Knowing that Wang Xuan nodded in agreement, the entire military moved, and instead of training all day, fighting was undoubtedly more exciting.

Three days later, Wang Xuan and Liu Bei came to the conference room of the military headquarters together, pushed the door and entered the conference hall, and saw at a glance the military generals sitting in danger, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Wu Anguo, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Gongsun Zhan, Huang Xu......

For the first battle after Liu Bei became king, the military undoubtedly attached great importance to it, and everyone wanted to participate in it, whether it was the army or the navy.

"I've seen the king." Seeing Wang Xuan and Liu Bei coming in, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me." With that, Liu Bei came to the main seat and sat down.

Wang Xuan stood in front of everyone and looked around and said, "This meeting is to talk about the Northern Expedition. ”

"The first phase of the Northern Expedition targeted the Wuhuan people on the grasslands in the north of Youzhou, but you also know that it is the busy season for farming, coupled with the infrastructure problems in various places, and the labor force is tight, so this Northern Expedition will not use too much manpower." After Wang Xuan finished speaking, many people showed disappointment on their faces.

"What's the matter, I don't care about Lao Zhang, I have to go anyway!" Zhang Fei was the first to get up and shouted, if he was not allowed to go if there was a fight, he was afraid that he would not be suffocated to death.

"Shut up, who gave you permission to speak!"

Seeing that Wang Xuan was about to get angry, Zhang Fei quickly covered his mouth and sat down.

"Now that the Wuheng people occupy the territory of Zhendonghou, presumably Brother Bogui has long wanted to clean them up, so please ask Brother Bogui to tell everyone about the situation of the Wuhuan people."

When Gongsun Zhan heard Wang Xuan talk about his Zhendong Hou Kingdom, he couldn't help but laugh and got up and said, "It seems that this time I want to trouble you to help me get rid of the group of barbarians who occupy my country's land." ”

After Gongsun Chan finished speaking, everyone also laughed, and they all laughed and coaxed Gongsun Chan to have a treat.

Zhang Fei shouted directly: "Let's go to the Xinghui Nightclub, this time Brother Bogui will definitely take care of us."

Xinghui Nightclub is Wang Xuan's venue, and this group of Liu Bei's close people dare to say that it is chartered, but Gongsun Chan is not a person who is short of money, so he agreed without hesitation.

After laughing, Gongsun Zhan began to introduce: "The Wuhuan people are entrenched outside the Great Wall, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, and the northern part of Youbei Pingwei, the entire Liaoxi County, Liaodong subject country, including a large grassland in the north, are the sphere of influence of the Wuheng people, and the Wuheng people belong to the semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural system. ”

After saying a word, everyone laughed, and when it was quiet, Gongsun Zhan continued: "The Wuhuan people are known as 200,000 people who control the strings, but according to the survey, the population of the Wuhuan people is only about 300,000 people, however, on the grassland, even women are proficient in the art of riding and archery, after the real war, you must remember not to think about not killing women, and you can only suffer by yourself when the time comes!" ”

After Gongsun Zhan finished speaking, Wang Xuan then said: "The goal of this battle is to exterminate the clan and make it completely disappear in the long river of history. ”

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and then there was a burst of gasping, and all the generals present couldn't help but gasp, although they were all generals who led the troops to fight, no one knew how much blood had been stained in their hands, but casually opened their mouths to wipe out the clan, even the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and it still shocked everyone.

Everyone really couldn't imagine how Wang Xuan could say this kind of thing, which was about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, so lightly.

"This, this ......" Huang Zhong said with a somewhat ugly face: "National teacher, is this a bit too much, if it is above the battle array, how many people are killed, it is justified, but those old and weak women and children, how can they be so ruthless, wouldn't it hurt the heavens." ”

"Huh." Wang Xuan smiled coldly, looked at a group of generals with frowning brows but did not answer directly, but asked Gongsun Zhan, "Brother Bogui, do you think it is too much to destroy the Wuhuan clan?" ”

"That's how it should be!" Gongsun Chan said categorically.

"Fengxian, you can talk about it."

"It is only natural to destroy his family!" Lu Bu said with a murderous expression.

"Zilong, you say." Wang Xuan continued to ask.

"As it should be!" Zhao Yun also said in a cold voice.

Gongsun Zhan has always adhered to the method of killing to treat foreign races, so everyone can understand it, Lu Bu is murderous, and everyone doesn't think there is much of a problem, but on weekdays, he is gentle and elegant, like a scholar who reads poetry and books, and Zhao Yun, who is like a military general, actually agrees with the extermination of the clan, which makes Huang Zhong and others incomprehensible.

"Brother Bogui, let me explain it to everyone." Wang Xuan gestured to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan opened his mouth, and finally smiled bitterly, "It's better to say, I'm stupid, I don't understand it, anyway, it should be killed, those alien races, all of them should be killed!" ”

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes, had to clear his throat and said: "You don't live in the northern frontier, you don't know about these things, the grassland people have been committing this kind of thing for thousands of years, this is also the reason why the northern countries built the Great Wall at the beginning, Qin Shi Huang was also criticized by later generations because of this matter, in fact, it shouldn't be, for thousands of years, more than 10 million people have died at the hands of foreign races in the northern frontier. ”

As soon as the number of tens of millions came out, there was a sudden gasping sound in the venue again.

"We don't mention the humiliating problem of being forced by the Huns in the early Han Dynasty to make people feel humiliated, let's talk about the livelihood of the people in a more practical way, they all say that Youzhou and the state are a bitter cold place, and the people live in hardship.

"In fact, the land of Youzhou is also fertile, the same rivers are vertical and horizontal, it is really said that the climate will not be much colder than Jizhou, when it comes to grain production, in fact, there is no difference, so why are the two adjacent states separated by only three or four hundred miles, a rich state that is indeed the world, and it can be called the first prince in the world if it occupies it, and a bitter cold place that is indeed the world, and the world can't avoid it?"

"The biggest problem is these steppe aliens!"

"I don't just refer to the Wuhuan people, but all the grassland alien races, due to living habits and geographical reasons, every year in early winter, the grassland people will begin to invade, cross the Great Wall and kill into the border places of Youzhou and Zhou, loot grain, loot population, burn villages, no matter what you old and young, women and children, take away what you can take, and kill all that you can't take away."

"The people living in the border of Youzhou have no guarantee of life safety at all, and Youzhou alone could have become a continent with a population no worse than Jizhou, but in fact, the number of deaths due to grassland invasion alone every year is as few as a few thousand or tens of thousands, but it is just scattered along the entire border line, which looks inconspicuous."

"This is the so-called bitter cold in Youzhou, the bitter is life, and the cold is the heart."
