"This time the use of troops is different from the past, there is no need to fully occupy it, just recover the surrounding land."

Among them, only Huangfu was meticulous and noticed that Liu Zhi used the word "recovery" rather than expansion.

In Liu Zhi's mind, western Sichuan and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were originally Chinese land, and although they are still barren land, with one or two dozen tribes scattered around, many places are still no-man's land.

His attitude toward Tibet is also very clear, that is, first encircled and then interfered in the process of civilization so that it can develop as soon as possible.

For such a place that is still in the clan tribe, as long as there is no full-scale war, it is very easy to attack.

Before coming to Chang'an, he only discussed with several old generals of the Military Aircraft Mansion, and then revealed the results to Yuan Xu, Li Ying, Chen Fan and others.

According to his plan, there was no need to make a big move, and the cost was nothing compared to other wars.

Although the Tibetan region is desolate and barren, the land is vast, and although there is no threat at present, it is a hidden danger to be left there sooner or later.

"When attacking these tribes, you must remember that you must not slaughter willfully, but must focus on Huairou."

After that, he also focused on Duan Cheng, who smiled wryly, he was a notoriously murderous and tough general.

The name of "killing gods" is all piled up with blood.

Then he opened the map and discussed the battle situation with the three of them, and Huangfu Gui did not participate in the battle because he was far away from the Northern Xiongnu region.

Duan Cheng was in charge of the vast area bordering the Western Regions, and Zhang Huan was in charge of the part of the border with Liangzhou, and then assisted Yunzhou and Guizhou in recovering the southern frontier.

"In terms of time, I don't have a limit, just wait for your own arrangements, don't worry about the materials.

At the same time, we will send local officials to promote the ethnic policy of the Han Dynasty while fighting the war, and try to outwit as much as possible.

If you can't use a knife, you can't use a knife, the population over there is already sparse, and I don't plan to immigrate there. ”

After all, the situation in Tibet is different from other places, they did not threaten the rule of the Han Dynasty, nor did they harass the Han border.

Naturally, it is to adopt a policy of gentleness, and it would be better if he could surrender the army without a fight.

As a matter of fact, there is nothing to command militarily when attacking Tibet, but it is only a matter of policy agreed with them.

After solving the problem over there in a few words, Liu Zhi pointed to the Far East on the map and said to Huangfu:

"General Huangfu will not be idle, the Far East has been allowed for so many years, it's time to completely solve this hidden danger."

In recent years, the Khan Khan's cavalry had rarely raided the borders, and instead began to sweep the Far East and unify the indigenous tribes.

The land there is vast and sparsely populated, and in addition to the bitter cold climate, it can still be supplied in terms of resources.

The Xiongnu iron cavalry could not take advantage of the border, and gradually they were too lazy to send troops again, and they had a great state of settling down and no longer being enemies of the Han Dynasty.

After several years of recuperation, the Xiongnu began to slowly develop again, and Huyan Khan even took the opportunity to resolve internal contradictions, essentially taking control of the entire regime.

Although on the surface they were at peace with the Han Dynasty, it was not impossible for the Huns to rise again if they continued to develop like this.

Lying next to the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, the Huns have always been ambitious and aggressive.

Hundreds of years of history have proven that once they become strong, they will soon be ready to move.

According to the news sent back by the Han spies, King Huyan was seriously ill, his sons were turbulent, and the battle for royal power was very fierce.

For the Han Dynasty, this was naturally a golden opportunity, taking advantage of the continuous weakening of the power of the Xiongnu infighting, and launching a large-scale war to win it in one fell swoop.

Before Huangfu Gui could speak, Duan Cheng's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, this battle is very important, please go to the battle and be a deputy to General Huangfu." ”

Duan Cheng has always had a very high opinion of himself, but he is an iron-blooded tough guy in his bones, and his blood roars with a yearning for war.

The war in Tibet was not at all challenging for him, and that kind of war was not enjoyable at all.

Therefore, he preferred to be a deputy and to qualify for the battle in the Far East.

Liu Zhi was secretly amused, he knew that this would be the result, and deliberately frowned and asked:

"It's not impossible to let you go, but what about the battle on the Qiang side?"

As soon as Duan Cheng heard that there was a door, he immediately smiled, "This is easy, Your Majesty can transfer the Liangzhou and Yizhou armies over."

There is really no way to fight this kind of warlord, if you accidentally kill too much, you will not mention the credit at all, and if you don't get it right, it will ruin Your Majesty's plan. ”

Everyone laughed when he said this, but it also showed that he had a very close relationship with the emperor, so he could be so open-mouthed.

"Okay, in that case, you can be Wei Ming's deputy marshal.

This time I went back and prepared well, and I started fighting immediately, and I must take advantage of the summer and autumn to win, otherwise it will be difficult to do it in winter. ”

Duan Cheng laughed, "That's nature, then again, even if it's winter, I'm not afraid, isn't there a sled?" ”

Ever since the invention of sleds and snowboards in that year, the armies of the North have been equipped with both types of equipment.

After all, the winter there is too long, and even the horses have difficulty traveling when the wind and snow are heavy.

With these two things, the mobility in the ice and snow will be greatly improved, and the soldiers will be fast, and the Han army will be one step ahead of others at that time.

But these two things are not very technical and are easy to copy, and Liu Zhi guesses that the Xiongnu side may have copied them a long time ago.

The Han army now has an absolute advantage in weapons, coupled with strong national strength and sufficient material supplies.

The time and place are favorable, and there is no shortage of everything.

Several people discussed around the map for a while, and determined the basic combat policy, and Liu Zhiliu had dinner in the palace.

During the banquet, he personally raised a toast, "I hope you will triumph as soon as possible and make immortal contributions to my Han Dynasty."

Come, drink to win! ”

"Drink to win!"

The three generals are in high spirits, they have rested for so many years, and if they don't go on the expedition, they will be old.

Therefore, this time the emperor attacked the Far East and Tibet, which was naturally a great thing for them, and they were all gearing up and eager to try.

After this gathering, the three of them did not dare to delay at all, and they all set off immediately, hurrying in the starry night.

It was early summer, the climate in the Far East was very cold, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow at the end of October, leaving them with little time.

You have to race against time, otherwise you won't be able to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty, and your reputation will be ruined.

After sending off several generals, Liu Zhi sent a document to the imperial court, informing them of the matter and asking them to discuss the delivery of military rations and cooperate with the operation.

The emperor is relatively easy to talk and discuss most of the time in political affairs, but he has always been rigid and self-serving when it comes to military operations, and never takes into account the opinions of the imperial court.

For so many years, the ministers have long been accustomed to his way of doing things, and they don't bother to write a protest when they receive the paperwork.

It has already been decided, what is the point of protesting or not protesting.

Fortunately, compared with the beginning, there is enough money and food in the warehouse, so there is no need to worry, you only need to allocate it reasonably, and it is not a big deal.

For the fight against Tibet and the Far East, there was not much turmoil in the imperial court, and after so many years of expansion, the Han people have long since regained their sense of glory.

No, it should be said that he is more confident than ever, and he will not take those Qiang tribes and the remnants of the Xiongnu in his eyes at all.

Therefore, there is no suspense in their minds about the outcome of the war, and there is no controversy.

Liu Zhi himself didn't treat it as a big deal, and he didn't bother to bother anymore after the edict was issued.

The ancestor worship is completed, and for Liu Zhi, the task of this trip to Chang'an is completely completed, and the rest is to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Although the Gui Palace in the city has been repaired, there are many damaged palace rooms, and there is no garden scenery to enjoy.

Therefore, Liu Zhi decided to move to the suburbs and leave the palace to live.

The palace was built on top of the famous Lishan Mountain, which has a beautiful scenery and has long been a summer resort for kings.

Legend has it that King Zhou You built Li Palace here, Qin Shi Huang changed it to "Lishan Soup", and expanded it to leave the palace when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

During Wang Mang's rebellion, because it was in the suburbs, it avoided the military disaster and was well preserved.

The pines and cypresses on the mountain are evergreen, magnificent and green, like a green horse and get the name.

"Monuments" cloud: Lishan "is not as lofty as Taihua, is not as good as Zhongnan, is not as strange as Taibai, and is not as dangerous as Longmen."

However, the Three Emperors are said to be the old residence, Wa Sheng is both out of the smelt, since the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, many of them are fortunate to leave the palace annex, and the Xiuling warm soup has become a good environment. ”

To put it bluntly, it is the good geographical location and the unique hot springs that have been favored by the emperors of previous dynasties.

The palace of Lishan, that is, the predecessor of the Huaqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty, "bathed in the Huaqing Pool in the spring cold, and the hot spring water was slippery and washed with cream." ”

Huaqing Palace is also famous because of the glamorous love story between Yang Guifei and Tang Minghuang.

There is also a place of interest in Lishan, which can be said to be a household name, that is, the beacon tower.

Back then, King Zhou You smiled for the Pomeranians, and the princes of the beacon fire drama were in Lishan.

The scenery here is quiet, and the mountain is Gubaisensen, which is indeed a summer resort.

Liu Zhi took the two princesses, concubines and attendants, etc., since he lived in the palace, he traveled every day, so happy.

However, Lishan is so big, and after visiting it for a few days, it doesn't have much fun.

So he set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the families of Chang'an, most of these people are meritorious families, and some are even after the heroes of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty.

It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it can be said that it has a long history.

But after the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they basically began to decline, and now most of them have long been reduced to ordinary families.

After all, in terms of strength, they are no longer able to compete with the Kyoto family, and they can't even compare with some upstarts.

The main reason is that it is too far away from the emperor, unless someone in the family can serve as an important minister in the imperial court, so as to drive the family.

This time, His Majesty finally toured the west, and the big families of Chang'an, like cats that smelled fishy, tried their best one by one, just hoping to show their faces in front of the emperor.

In the last ancestor worship activity, the number of people was too much, and I couldn't get the opportunity to get close contact with the emperor, which was quite a pity.

This time, when I heard that His Majesty was holding a feast, I naturally held back my strength, thinking about how to get ahead and attract His Majesty's attention.

Because Deng Meng did not come with him, the remaining concubines were not enough to support the overall situation, so Liu Zhi simply handed over the responsibility of organizing the banquet to his eldest daughter Liu Hua.

Liu Hua, the eldest princess of Anyang, has always been generous and capable, and has always assisted her mother in holding palace banquets, so it can be said that she is very familiar with the process.

Originally, he wanted Liu Sleeve to assist, but the latter happened to be unwell, and at this time, the new talent Tian Sheng volunteered and stood up to help Liu Hua.

Ordinary nobles of the family, when they reach the age of marriage, there will be special people to teach how to manage the affairs of the big family, Tian Sheng is already sixteen years old, logically speaking, he has already started to learn.

Sure enough, as soon as she got started, Liu Hua found that she was very capable, not at all so introverted and quiet on the outside.

She has always liked people with a cool personality, although she was more familiar with Tian Sheng because of Liu Sleeve before.

But in the end, there is no deep friendship, and this time the two jointly organized a banquet, which led to more contact.

Tian Sheng doesn't talk much, but his personality is not petitive, calm and generous, and he is obviously much more mature than his peers.

The banquet was held very successfully, Liu Zhi was very satisfied, and rewarded Liu Hua and Tian Sheng with a lot of things.

Of course, because of this incident, he finally noticed the existence of Tian Sheng, and it turned out that there was such a charming little beauty by his side.

Although she was admitted to the harem before, due to Tian Sheng's reputation as a kefu, the officials who followed her were very opposed.

Although Liu Zhi didn't believe in this, he was not exempt from vulgarity, after all, people at this time were very superstitious, so he put her aside.

First, if she is really Kefu, if Liu Zhi has a headache and brain fever, he can be sent away as soon as possible.

Second, Liu Zhi is more concerned about whether she is the same as Tian Mi, not suitable for the court, if she is sad and sad at every turn, complaining about the sky, then it is better to send it out as soon as possible.

Fortunately, even though Liu Zhi was very tired during these days, his body has been healthy, and he didn't even sneeze.

When the courtiers saw it, they couldn't continue to oppose it, so they just turned a blind eye.

After the banquet, Liu Zhi took advantage of the excitement to summon her, this Tian Sheng was quiet and weak on the outside, but he was horrified on the inside, which made him a little surprised.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the shackles on female surnames were not as strong as in the Song and Ming dynasties, there were still many behavioral constraints on women.

Ban Jieyu's "Women's Rules" of the Western Han Dynasty has already put forward the concept of three obedience and four virtues.

Therefore, at this time, the nobles of the family strive to be dignified and quiet in their behavior, and most of them are cautious in serving Liu Zhi, behaving meekly and obediently.

They are all more restrained in terms of sexual behavior, for fear of being accused of lewdness and losing the face of the family.

Under this premise, Tian Sheng, who was born in a family, is particularly different.

After a favor, Liu Zhilong was very happy, and since then he has often called her to accompany him.

This Tian Sheng is also a wonderful person, not only is he outstanding, but he can also sing and dance, and even games like Keju can be played with him.

Lishan is far away from the court, and without the queen and Concubine Geng De, there are two ordinary concubines left, who can't compete with them at all.

Therefore, for a while, Tian Sheng was favored and became a celebrity who accompanied Liu Zhi day and night.
