Chapter 55 Vows to carry forward the cottage business

Since Liu Xuan is sitting in Chang'an and stuck in Tongguan, there is basically nothing to think about, just take all the counties in the northwest.

But it's still a bit of a stretch.

At present, the northwest of the imperial court is adjacent to Li Dao and Guo Yan, one of whom is stationed in Tianshui and the other is stationed in Anding, each with tens of thousands of troops, which is an extremely dangerous existence for the imperial court.

In comparison, now the various departments in Chang'an City, plus Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in the north, add up to more than 10,000 points, although the establishment and formation of the forbidden army is on the agenda, but it is impossible to play any role for a while.

After all, this is not a game, fingers are drawn little by little, and then there are thousands of combatable soldiers for themselves to send in three or five minutes, and a qualified soldier from enlistment to being able to go to the battlefield, without a year and a half of training, don't even think about it - even if you force it to the battlefield, I am afraid that before you can hand it over, your side will be in chaos.

Moreover, even if it takes a year, it is only a group of soldiers who can be used, and if you want to be a good soldier in a hundred battles, it is not a matter of simple training.

In this case, Li Dao and Guo Yan are not what the current imperial court should provoke, but if they don't touch them, will they be safe?

What's more, there is another point, these two forces are almost stuck in the northwest passage, if they don't hit these two places first, will it be possible for Liu Xuan to turn his head to the east? Or simply go north in and out of the plug - he will do this only if his head is pitted.

At a glance, the only directions that can be hit are Li Dao and Guo Yan, if ordinary people hear Liu Xuan ask this, they probably want to hit Li Dao first or Guo Yan first?

But Guo Jia is not an ordinary person, and as soon as his mind turned, the situation in the northwest was immediately clear and gave a different answer.

"If Your Majesty wants to take the northwestern counties, it is better to take Xiliang first. ”

Xiliang can be said to be Xiliang County, or it can refer to the entire Liangzhou. But no matter what kind of thing it is, it seems to be a bit remote, even if Liu Xuan wants to fight Liangzhou, then he has to solve the two obstacles of Li Dao and Guo Yan first.

However, Guo Jia believes that the current Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng is still loyal to the Han family, and the former Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan issued a document to beg for thieves, although Ma Teng is in the extreme west, but he also echoes each other from afar - it is his echo that makes Dong Zhuo leave a lot of soldiers and horses to take care of his hometown in the northwest.

Now, if Liu Xuan gets in touch with Ma Teng and says it in the name of the court and the emperor, then there is no need to waste a single soldier, and the land of Liangzhou will return to the rule of the imperial court.

At the same time, it can also trap Li Dao and Guo Yan in it, so that they can only divide their troops to defend two places, and the pressure on Chang'an's side is even less.

If possible, and then provoke the relationship between Li Dao and Guo Yan, then they will be wary of each other, in this case, both of them will not have more energy and soldiers to attack the city.

The plan is good, but will Ma Teng really be a loyal minister of the Han family?

Liu Xuan didn't believe in this very much, so he didn't think about contacting Ma Teng at first, although Ma Teng was indeed a loyal minister of the Han family in the romance, but who could guarantee that everything was in line with the content in the romance?

Anyway, in the official history, Ma Teng is definitely not a loyal minister.

However, judging from the current situation, if Ma Teng can really show his loyalty to the imperial court, it will undoubtedly make Liu Xuan's plan to unify the northwest smoother.

Not to mention the soldiers and horses in Ma Teng's hands, the prestige of the Ma family in the northwest is enough to reduce a lot of troubles - although Liu Xuan wants to suppress the Shi clan, but the situation of the Ma family is a bit special, in fact, Ma Teng's family has long been dilapidated, Ma Teng was a woodcutter when he was a child, and later joined the army to have his current status.

In other words, although Ma Teng has prestige but no foundation, as long as this kind of person is used well, he is not afraid of causing any trouble - plus the Ma family and the Qiang people are closer, maybe Liu Xuan can try the second step in the plan.

But now there is still a question - how to convey the meaning of the court and even the emperor to Ma Teng?

Guo Jia naturally thought of this problem, and after explaining his thoughts in detail, he directly recommended one person as an envoy to the imperial court.

"Wechen heard that Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang are now serving in Zongzheng Temple, and Wechen has an old relationship with him, and he knows that this person is a great talent, and he will definitely be able to take on this important task. ”

Liu Xuan didn't expect that Guo Jia's arrangements were detailed, and he even prepared the envoys, so he was happy and directly approved.

Anyway, Liu Ye sent an envoy to Xiliang, and if it didn't work, there would be no loss - the possibility of Ma Teng killing Liu Ye was too low; if it did, the imperial court would be able to add tens of thousands of troops and horses and a state of land.

Of course, what Liu Xuan cares about more is that he has won a few more generals - not to mention Ma Teng himself, his sons are also extraordinary, the most famous is naturally Ma Chao, and even his nephew Ma Dai is also a good general.

What's more, there is also Pang De under Ma Teng's tent, as soon as these generals are included in the imperial court camp, Liu Xuan can be more easily and richly deployed, unlike now, although there are many generals, but the ones who can be transferred with confidence are always Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

It's not that Liu Xuan can't be used by others, but the current situation is like a radish and a pit, if you toss it around, the political affairs that were originally on the right track are estimated to be chaotic again, and then they take each other's positions, and the entire court will turn back into a mess, which he absolutely cannot tolerate.

After talking about this matter with Guo Jia, he talked about miscellaneous things, most of them were government affairs that Liu Xuan had dealt with in these days, Guo Jia gave his own suggestions one by one, and after talking about this for a while, Liu Xuan found that Guo Jia was best at strategy, among which strategy was the most outstanding.

The ability in internal affairs is not very surprising, but he has a unique view on criminal law.

In this way, he can also sit in the position of the secretary of the criminal department. "Thinking about it this way, if there is no suitable arrangement for the time being, Guo Jia can be arranged to the criminal department first.

Anyway, Guo Jia is good at strategy, this strategy can be asked in the court, and it is not a person in a specific position who can contribute ideas, as long as Guo Jia can stand in the court, it is enough.

In terms of military strategy, Guo Jia has some opinions on strategy and tactics, but if you really talk about it, he is indeed inferior to Xun Yu in terms of strategy, and in terms of tactics, Liu Xuan is not prepared to rely too much on senior civil ministers, but hopes that the generals and those middle and low-level civilian officials in the army. After all, tactical command needs to be adjusted at any time according to the battlefield situation, and you can't always bring a group of bigwigs from the DPRK and China to fight every battle, right?

Naturally, it is okay for the emperor to go on a personal expedition, but what about peacetime? Even if he really goes, can those generals of the unified army suppress these court bigwigs?

Therefore, Liu Xuan does not value the tactical ability of these ministers who are destined to be reused by him, he attaches more importance to their internal affairs and strategic capabilities, while the generals value their tactical command ability - as for personal force, Liu Xuan is confident that their force will be raised to a level beyond the level of this planet, so there is no need to be too entangled, at least not too much for now.

It was until the time of the lantern that Guo Jia left, as for the matter of sending Liu Ye as an envoy to Xiliang, it was impossible to settle it like this, although Liu Xuan had a plan today, but tomorrow he still had to take it to the court to discuss it with the princes before he could give the order.

Told Xun Yu and Cao Bao to step down, Liu Xuan sat in place and meditated and practiced for a while according to his usual habits, and then continued to worship the emperor's seal.

After these two things were done, he saw Cao Bao looking inside. After calculating the time, it was estimated that the maid had sent the food, so he nodded at Cao Bao.

Cao Bao, who was instructed, naturally understood what to do, and let the person in, Liu Xuan saw Diao Chan holding a tray, and then walked in lightly.

Since this girl entered the palace, she has always been well-behaved, very well-behaved, plus she is beautiful, and she is a little cute because of her age, Cai Yan also likes her very much, and it didn't take long for her to be like her own sister, and even asked Liu Xuan privately when she was going to give Diao Chan a name?

The title of the royal mansion, that is, the title of the concubine, Liu Xuan was not polite, and replied casually: "Wait until she is an adult in two years." ”

Cai Yan nodded, but there was no dissatisfaction or jealousy.

Since entering the palace and becoming the emperor's concubine, she understands that it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to guard a wife, and if anyone in this world can marry a wife and concubine at will, then this person can only be the emperor.

Not only concubines, in fact, any palace maid in this imperial city is the emperor's woman, if Cai Yan is a vinegar jar, I am afraid that sooner or later he will sour himself to death.

Rather than living so painfully, it is better to look at it, so Cai Yan, who has long been mentally prepared, looks at this matter very lightly, and does not have the slightest dissatisfaction, but it makes Liu Xuan think a little higher of her, and the idea of being put aside after standing up picked it up again, and thought about it in a few days and issued an edict when he had time.

Seeing Diao Chan put down the food and pour the wine at the same time, Liu Xuan suddenly asked, "How are you practicing the ones you taught you a few days ago?"

Diao Chan didn't seem to expect Liu Xuan to suddenly ask about this, but she reacted very quickly, and immediately replied respectfully, without the slightest stumble between her words, and she was not flustered: "The movements are all memorized, but the two pumpkin hammers are a little heavy, and it is a little difficult to make them." ”

Speaking of this, Diao Chan's beautiful brows were directly twisted into one place, probably because he felt that the emperor taught himself but did not learn well, and it would be bad if he made the emperor angry.

Liu Xuan wouldn't be angry because of such a trivial matter, and when he heard Diao Chan say that the pumpkin hammer was too heavy, he smiled and said, "You are still young now, and after a while, I will ask someone to make a pair of lighter ones for you." ”

Originally, Wang Yun said that Diao Chan had practiced swordsmanship, Liu Xuan just listened to it, and a while ago he was bored and asked Diao Chan to take a look, and saw that this little girl had a pair of short swords that were very beautiful, and she suddenly thought of replacing the pair of short swords with a pair of hammers.

Although Xiao Diao Chan didn't understand what this meant, she still obediently complied with it, and seriously remembered the few tricks demonstrated by Liu Xuan in her heart. She didn't know that Liu Xuan would do this entirely because of her personal bad taste.

"I read a novel before the crossing, and the protagonist is a copycat, and there are a lot of people and things in the copy, and now I'm much better than him, although we are also copycats, but this character is the authentic original. ”
