Lü Bu's proposal was ultimately not adopted because Liu Xuan wanted to stabilize the north first and then consider westward expansion.

The reason is also very simple, as long as the north is leveled by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then Rouran is cleaned up, then there will be no large-scale alien existence in the north of the Han Dynasty - there are still alien races, but they are all scattered on the vast land, at most they are a small village, and they are very backward, and there is no combat power, these existences are completely ignored, and the army drives over and directly recovers it, even if there is resistance, I am afraid that a soldier can wipe out the entire village.

The north is about to be completely pacified, there is no reason to suddenly turn around and kill the west, more importantly, Liu Xuan knows that there are more forces on the way to the west, not to mention that the Ning country established by Zhang Lu is stuck in the gateway area to Europe.

This fight will not be as easy as in these two battles, there will definitely be casualties - although Zhang Lu's soldiers are not strong, Zhang Lu himself still has some strength, if he recognizes it, he will kill and injure ordinary soldiers, Liu Xuan has no good way.

What's more, fighting a war is inherently about casualties, and Liu Xuan doesn't want to solve this problem - an army that has not suffered casualties can't fight a tough battle, and he doesn't want his men to be a group of old soldiers, so they can only fight with the wind.

At the same time, before heading west, Liu Xuan also began to consider an occupation of the Americas.

He sent Sun Quan to develop Australia, but the two continents in the Americas are also a fertile land, and it would be too wasteful if they were not developed well, not to mention that if they were to leave that place alone, it would be easy for the enemy to use it - if they directly established a forward base on that land, Liu Xuan's Han Empire would fall into a very dangerous situation.

So from the very beginning, he was trying to put the battlefield outside the earth, even if it really hit the earth. It is also necessary to control the air and not give the other side a chance to land.

That's the only way. Dahan has a chance to turn the tables in a while. At the same time, it will not affect its own development, if the battlefield is placed on the earth, then the chance of winning in the end will be much lower, and at the same time, it will be considered a victory. It will also be a great loss of vitality, and it will take hundreds or thousands of years to recover if it is not possible to cultivate -- at that time, the other party is afraid that it will have already prepared more troops and weapons.

Even if the generals of the Han Dynasty practiced the exercises specially prepared by Liu Xuan. It will get stronger and stronger, but it can't resist the Xiuzhen Empire with endless soldiers and horses to keep filling in.

"So, it's not possible to go west for the time being. Not only not. While the imperial court was developing and building the northern region, it was necessary to send an expeditionary force across the Pacific Ocean to the Americas. ”

Sitting on the court, Liu Xuan directly said his thoughts, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty sat there honestly, listening carefully to the words of the Son of Heaven, for fear of missing a word.

When I heard this. Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately understood the meaning of the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty wants to take the Americas in your hands first?"

"The Americas and South America aside, North America has an open terrain. In addition, the climate is also very close to the Han side, and there will be no discomfort after the forbidden army passes, and at the same time, there are only some undeveloped barbarian natives there, and there is no large-scale force, and it doesn't take too many soldiers and horses to occupy such a large piece of land!"

After a pause, Liu Xuan and the others digested these contents before continuing: "In addition, Sun Quan founded the country and became the emperor in Australia, and now he has a huge Australia to govern well, and he also has a map in his hand, if he wants to expand externally, the two continents in the Americas must be his most preferred choice - as long as they occupy it, even if Australia is attacked, they will have a way out!"

This involves a question of strategic depth, perhaps the generals of this era have not considered strategic concepts such as exchanging land for time, but they still understand the general truth. ...,

In other words, if the Sun family has one more territory, he will have more room for maneuver, and his chances of turning defeat into victory will increase with more hole cards.

If it was originally, Liu Xuan might still be happy to do this, let Sun Quan develop the foundation of those two continents, and then he will destroy Sun Quan and take over directly, which can save a lot of troubles - such as choosing a place to build a city, building roads, and so on.

But now he doesn't think so, in order to integrate the world as soon as possible, he is ready to take the lead and directly control North America -- there are many primeval jungles in South America, and it is not good to develop that place, and it is not good to develop it, and there are not as many places suitable for large-scale living as in North America, and there will be many difficulties in development, so it will be put aside for the time being, and it is a big deal to open up the coastal areas first.

When the Americas fall into the hands of the Great Han, the rest will be Europe and Africa.

These two continents, Europe and Asia are connected, and Africa is relatively close to Europe, Liu Xuan feels that if he wants to attack Africa, it is better to take advantage of the situation after pacifying Europe, or simply let the Scourge Legion go directly south, and scourge Africa first, anyway, the Scourge Legion is the dead, and they are not afraid of the strange terrain and bad climate environment in Africa at all.

At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of all kinds of creatures on the African continent......

"Huh, it seems that that part of South America should also be dealt with by the Scourge Corps!"

Compared with Africa, the jungles of South America are more of a headache, especially the indigenous people of South America like to hide in the dense woods, where there are all kinds of insects, piranhas, crocodiles, pythons and other ferocious creatures, send ordinary people over, even the strong soldiers of the Han will not be able to stand it.

After all, although the soldiers at this time are powerful, they have not yet left the category of people, unless they wait until all the soldiers are immortals, but in that case, he doesn't have to care about these messes, and directly pulls the soldiers and horses to kill the universe.

But the Scourge doesn't have this problem, if nothing else, as long as you don't get killed by those pesky bugs, you can save a lot of trouble.

Touching his chin, Liu Xuan kept this matter in his heart, thinking about whether to form another natural disaster army or transfer people from Sun Ce's side?

Anyway, it's not troublesome to transfer people from Sun Ce's side, go directly to the sea from Europe, cross the Atlantic Ocean and go straight to South America!

"Your Majesty, it is indeed feasible to attack the Americas, and it will not require too many soldiers and horses, the minister estimates that 50,000 soldiers are enough to wipe out North America, but to develop the whole of North America, this is ......"

Liu Ye turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Huang Chengyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

The key to attacking the Americas is not the military, but whether these two men are sure to develop and build the entire Americas.

Zhuge Liang calculated in his head, and nodded directly: "If Your Majesty is not in a hurry, about ten years or so, there will be a lot of surplus population in Dahan, although these people are not afraid of not having a job in Dahan, but it will cause a situation of surplus labor, if there is such a place, it is also a good thing!"

After so many years of development, the population has grown faster and faster year by year -- fewer people are dead, more people are alive, and more and more children are born every year, how can the population growth not be fast?

At least for now, the population of the Han has reached a considerable height, which is not only enough to fill in the large area of land that the Han has just laid, but also to ensure that the area originally owned by the Han will not be affected in any way.

It's just that Liu Xuan has taken too big a step, he has just destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, occupied the entire territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty and most of the land in Siberia, and wants to develop North America, no matter how large the population is, it is not used like this, so Zhuge Liang said: If you start developing in ten years, then there is no problem. ...,

This means that it is okay to develop now, but the development progress in the north and North America will be affected to varying degrees, and the initial speed will definitely not be able to go up.

If you don't get it right, both ends will be affected, so it's better to focus on the north side first, and the North American side will take a break.

Anyway, now that there are more and more children born quickly, and another group of children will grow up in ten years, the placement of these people is enough to cause headaches, and things in North America have just solved such a problem.

"What about the Ministry of Works?"

Hearing the Son of Heaven's inquiry, Huang Chengyan nodded with a smile: "There is no problem with the Ministry of Industry! Whether it is all kinds of construction equipment or materials, the Ministry of Industry can prepare them in the shortest possible time." ”

Over the years, the most hapi person to say is this Huang Chengyan.

The daughter is angry, and even made it a temple, the level is only slightly lower than herself, and she is also the concubine who is very loved by the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, all kinds of development and construction of the Han Dynasty make the Ministry of Industry have things to do all day long, and all kinds of novel organs also make Huang Chengyan extremely happy.

While studying what he likes and doing great things, he feels that he has really not worked in vain in his life-not to mention that since he started cultivating, he is now running towards two hundred at his age, and he is still alive, and even a few strands of his hair have turned back to black, what is he not satisfied with in this situation?

Therefore, Huang Chengyan smiled all day long, and everyone he saw was a group of people, and many young people who had just entered the court still regarded this as a good old man - in fact, it was almost the same.

As soon as the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry said this, Liu Xuan knew what to do.

"No matter what, first send 50,000 soldiers and horses to occupy North America, and then say, if those natives make trouble, they will all be killed! Of course, if you are willing to submit to the Han Dynasty, then you will be able to teach and teach!"

If those natives want to integrate into the Han Dynasty, they must need some education, which involves the Ministry of Rites, and several bigwigs from the six ministries looked at each other, and their heads began to think about who should be sent to North America with this expeditionary force.

However, it is difficult for others to say, there is one person who has decided, that is, Gan Ning, who is still in charge of the naval fleet in the Pacific Ocean. Because Yu Ban was transferred to the north to lead those spaceships, the affairs on the sea were all in charge of Gan Ning, and after Liu Xuan dispersed the dynasty, he directly let Gan Ning go to the imperial study with him, and he wanted to discuss the specific matters of this expeditionary force with Gan Ning
