Chapter 367: Policy towards Karasuma

Liu Hou, who was far away in Xuchang, received Tian Yu's news and was happy again. Within a year, the three major forces of Xianbei were wiped out twice and surrendered, which was really unexpected by him, and it did bring him a great surprise.

According to his original idea, because the Han army did not have many cavalry, he could only temporarily forbear the invasion of the Hu tribes in the grassland and adopt a policy of Huairou to drag them down. As long as they don't go south to the Central Plains to make trouble during their own invasion of Wei and Wu, thank God.

He did not think at all that he would be able to solve the grassland problem in the short term. His original plan was just to fight the Xianbei people, scare them, make them dare not move, and then wait for himself to dominate the Central Plains, and then free up his hands to slowly clean them up.

According to his prediction, it may take several years to completely solve the problem of the Xianbei people, and because of the constraints of war horses, this process may even last for more than ten years. I really didn't expect my subordinates to bring such a big surprise to me.

Without preparing anything now, they will be able to complete the three main forces of the Xianbei people in just a few months. Now there are still many tribes of Xianbei people scattered all over the grassland. However, these tribes were relatively small, and they were scattered across the steppes, and there was no unified regime to hold them together.

In this state of scattered sand, it is impossible for them to pose a threat to the Han people in the Central Plains. Liu Hou suddenly found that he had nothing to do in the north. In other words, it is time to sit back and attack Wei and Wu with peace of mind.

As for Tian Yu's proposal to send troops to attack Karasuma with the Xianbei Suli Department, Liu Hou was also a little moved, but for this kind of national event, Liu Hou felt that he still couldn't make a hasty decision, so he summoned several advisors to discuss the handling of this matter.

Although many ministers have moved from Chengdu, the people attending the meeting this time are still the same as the team that originally held the military meeting in the Hong army, that is, the three stinkers and Sima Yi.

In a sense, these four people are equivalent to the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty, or the ministers of the military aircraft department of the Qing Dynasty. Although none of their official positions are considered the highest, whenever they encounter a major event that is difficult to decide, Liu Hou will gather this small group to discuss.

First of all, Guo Youzhi gave an explanation of the situation to you, and then everyone started to discuss. Surprisingly, this time there was no difference of opinion, and everyone agreed that Karasuma was nothing more than a disease of ringworm and scabies, and it was not worth their excessive energy.

At the present stage, it is necessary to concentrate all efforts on resolving the problems between Wei and Wu first, and to complete the great cause of reunification of the Central Plains as soon as possible. Sima Yi also proposed that 50,000 cavalry from the Suli Department could be sent over as a servant army to follow our army to conquer Wei and Wu, so that our army would be like a tiger with wings.

Liu Hou thought about it, with these 50,000 cavalry, he could offset the speed advantage of the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei State. These Xianbei cavalry are brave and ruthless, although they are a little worse than the regular army in terms of discipline and mutual cooperation, but their individual combat ability is very strong, as long as a little training, they can become a strong cavalry team.

There should be no problem in using them to fight against the tiger and leopard horse, and if it is combined with the firearms of the Hong army, it is not difficult to kill the tiger and leopard horseman. As long as the tiger and leopard cavalry were destroyed, the Wei army would no longer have any troops that could withstand the invasion of the Hong army.

Taking a step back, even if you don't let him fight against the tiger and leopard riders, you can let them do some tiring and dirty work. Taking a step back, they are also very good cannon fodder, not. Thinking about this, Liu Hou readily agreed to Sima Yi's proposal.

However, Deng Zhi expressed concern about this matter, he was worried that if the 50,000 Xianbei cavalry were transferred, then the northern grassland would become very empty. Once Karasuma strikes, then the Suliya will be in danger.

Sima Yi snorted and said that he didn't have to worry about this matter, and he could let Tian Yu send Karasuma to envoy, so he repeated the technique to persuade Karasuma to surrender. Even if he couldn't really persuade Karasuma to submit to the Great Han, at least he could hold them back through protracted negotiations, so that they temporarily forgot about going south to invade the Great Han.

As long as this period of time has passed, the Hong army will be able to free up their hands, and then it will not be that we are worried about their southern invasion, but that they are worried about our northern expedition.

Liu Hou was overjoyed when he heard this, Tian Yu's three-inch tongue is really not covered, he had a conversation with him before, and through this conversation Liu Hou also found that this person's eloquence is excellent, his thinking is very clear, his mind is very flexible, and his overall view is also very strong, and he has a deep understanding of the situation of various tribes in the grassland.

What's even more rare is that he has a lot of experience in dealing with the Hu people, and if he comes out, he will definitely be able to complete this task satisfactorily. Liu Hou even felt that Tian Yu was more suitable for the post of Foreign Ministry ~ Minister than the bombastic Liu Yan. At least Liu Yan is basically blind to the surrounding situation, which is far less competent than Tian Yu.

At this point, Liu Hou had the idea of transferring the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs ~ or Da Honglu to Tian Yu. But now there is no hurry, when he completes this task, he will make another meritorious service, and then it will be most suitable to be promoted to Dahonglu as a reward for his meritorious service.

As for what Deng Zhi said, he was worried that the troops of the Suri Department would be empty and that he would be attacked by the Karasuma people, Liu Hou automatically ignored this information. Just kidding, what does it matter to those Xianbei people who are being attacked? I have a lot of opportunities and a busy state affair, so I can take care of so many things there.

Although the Suli Department has been attached to the Han Dynasty, it is still a Hu person, and the two Hu tribes eat each other's dog-eat-dog, Liu Houcai is too lazy to pay attention to it, let them die more, and it will not be so difficult to clean up and draft it by themselves in the future.

Of course, this is a thought buried in the heart of the little emperor, it is impossible to announce it to the public, if others know that they don't want to protect their vassal forces, regardless of their life and death, where will anyone dare to take refuge in themselves in the future?

The plan has been decided, and it will be carried out according to the plan~ matter, Guo Youzhi immediately drafted the edict, asked the little emperor to use the seal, and sent the edict to the grassland day and night, and sent the decree to Tian Yu. Tian Yu immediately summoned Su Li and the leaders of the various ministries and read the holy decree to them.

Although the leaders were very reluctant, they also had to obey the order, and they successively gathered 50,000 cavalry, together with 30,000 war horses to pay tribute to the imperial court, and a certain number of cattle and sheep, and Su Li personally led this nondescript team, and marched south to Xuchang.

However, Tian Yu packed his bags, took the new holy decree and his retinue to the grassland, and sent the Karasuma tribe to the envoy. Different from the bustle of the southbound team, this group of more than a dozen people seemed deserted, but they shouldered a more important task than the southbound team. Due to the hostile relationship between Karasuma and the Great Han, the danger they faced was even greater than that of the troops who went south to fight.
