At this moment, in Luoyang City, Li Yue was a little anxious, "There is no news of Xie Xuan and Li Fu yet?" ”

"Scout returns, entered the North Sea thirteen days ago." Huan Chong arched his hand.

Although it has not snowed in Luoyang, a thin layer of ice has formed in the pool, and the North Sea will only get colder.

Nanjun is a native of Jiangdong, and he doesn't know what the situation is.

Expedition to Mobei, the most difficult to deal with is not the Xianbei people, but the harsh climate, if Mobei is like spring all year round, suitable for farming, the Chinese ancestors would have conquered it a long time ago.

In the past, the news came back once every five days, but now it is rare to send it back once in half a month.

"The two of them are indeed a little aggressive." Li Yue can understand Xie Xuan's earnestness, but he shouldn't risk the lives of the soldiers.

People who are too young are really a little unbreathable.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, since the Battle of Liaodong last year, the hearts of the people have fallen apart, and there is General Yang in the country to take care of it, so it should be fine." Wang Meng recuperated for a few months, his face was ruddy, and his body was fat.

For a complete Central Plains dynasty, the grassland has never been an opponent, as long as the dynasty is not too bad.

"What Ling Jun said is very true." Li Yue nodded, it was useless to worry now.

In the northern war, Wu Huihao in the south fought well, three times and five divided by two to quell the rebellion in Guangzhou, captured more than 10,000 people, Zhou Zhi led his troops to attack Ningzhou, broke 40,000 Zhuyi coalition troops, and killed more than 8,000.

Then all the heroes converged and went south to Jiaozhou to deal with Linyi State.

Li Yue originally thought that he would also solve Lin Yi by dividing it by two, but this battle was a little difficult.

The people of Linyi are good at woodland warfare, and they have the support of the local Yi people, Wu Huihao is strong in the small seventeenth battle, but they are only repulsed and driven out of Jiuzhen County and Jiaozhi County, and they have not achieved a major victory, and even the Rinan County that was taken away has not been recovered, and their own casualties are not small.

The reason why the Linyi Kingdom was able to rise was because of the capture of Rinan County, which had been operating in China for a long time since the Han and Wei dynasties.

Rinan County is also the Xiang County of the Qin Dynasty, which has been in operation in China for more than 500 years.

If this place is lost, Jiuzhen and Jiaozhi in the north will be threatened.

The rise of the Linyi people here will also definitely advance to the richer Red River Plain.

"Let Wu Huihao withdraw from Huiji and take a year off first." Li Yue didn't expect to bulldoze Lin Yiguo once.

This battle was just a test of the waters, and since they were driven back to Ninan County, the strategic intention had been achieved.

Judging from the battle reports sent back from the south, Wu Huihaoqiang's strategy of advancing troops was originally very problematic.

Only paying attention to the land route, fighting with the Linyi people who occupy a favorable location, city by city, can drive them out of Jiaozhi, which already shows that the heroes are full of martial virtue.

"The losses of the heroes in this battle are not small, and the imperial court should say something, otherwise the next time they send troops, the heroes will not do their best." Wang Meng reminded.

"Didn't they already have tens of thousands of captives, and what else do they want?" Huan Chong's hatred for Wu Huihao is undiminished.

"After all, it is for the Great Liang War, and the imperial court should indeed be compensated, and in addition, the equipment and war horses of the treasury can be rewarded." As long as he is for the country, Li Yue will never be stingy.

However, these things do not seem to be able to motivate Wu Huihaoqiang to go south again.

Li Yue paced a few steps, the territory controlled by Daliang was already large enough, and his future energy would definitely be focused on Mobei, the Western Regions, and the sea, even if the Linyi Kingdom was defeated, it would be difficult to maintain long-term rule.

Domination also comes at an extremely high cost and cost.

The Western Han Dynasty took Liangzhou, chiseled through the Western Regions, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, the rebellion between the Western Regions and Liangzhou has never stopped, the two Han Dynasty actually controlled the Western Regions for more than 50 years, and the Hanqiang War fought for more than 100 years, draining the Eastern Han Dynasty.

For a big country, there should be a strategic direction, and the future beam has two legs, one to the western region and the other to the ocean.

These barren places in the south may as well be rewarded to your own family.

Haoqiang's obsession with the land is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and instead of rolling up in China, it is better to encourage them to go out.

To the south of the country of Linyi, there is a wider and richer land.

"Give Wu Huihao another edict, Daliang only needs Rinan County, the land south of Rinan County, let them take it for themselves, capture a county, for the county order, seal the county marquis, capture a county, for the Taishou, seal the county marquis, capture a country, for the county duke, hereditary replacement!"

This idea had been brewing in Li Yue's mind for a long time.

The beams and the strong are all happy.

The annexation of Chinese and foreign lands in ancient and modern times has always been the cancer and fate of the dynasty, and it is not something that Li Yue can reverse personally, just like the birth, old age, sickness and death of people.

Li Yue wants to become bigger and stronger, everyone in this country wants to be strong, Haoqiang wants to want it, the scholars also want it, the people want it, and the ordinary soldiers also want it.

Just like Huaxia, which started as a tribe in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, eventually occupied the entire eastern land.

The Zhou Dynasty's sphere of influence was limited to the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and it was divided into feuds, Qin opened up the west, Yan captured Liaodong, and Zhao captured the Yun Dynasty......

It is impossible for the Li family to dominate everything.

"Your Majesty's move, I am only afraid of endless troubles...... Wang Meng arched his hand.

"There will definitely be troubles in the future, but the benefits are in the present, the merit is in the future, and now it is just for Wu Huihao to test the water, and not to give people real things, why should people attack Lin Yi with all their strength?" Li Yue spent so much energy on developing HNA in order to go out from the sea.

Linyi is a country, not some internal rebellion.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty launched tens of thousands of troops to attack Linyi, although he destroyed them, his own casualties were great.

Li Yue: This is a lesson to be learned.

"Even if you want to divide the seal, you can seal a clan in the future, and your majesty's descendants are prosperous and talented." Huan Chong arched his hand.

"I thought for a long time that I would find a place for them to settle down in the future."

There is no point in sealing a wild land to them, you can't move people from the Central Plains to send a large army there, right?

And Haoqiang has money and grain in his hands, farmers and tribes, and family education, to a certain extent, they are the best pioneers.

Historical experience has long proved that most of the things from the top down do not last long, while the things from the bottom up have strong vitality.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the Banzhou chieftains united with the Nanzhao rebellion, and the Tang court was deeply involved in the rebellion of Wang Xianzhi and Huangchao, and was unable to march westward, so he allowed the local regiment to go to quell the rebellion.

The Banshu Yang clan lasted for more than 700 years.

If Wu Huihaoqiang could occupy Linyi for 700 years, the local area would have been sinicized long ago.

On the contrary, Wu Huihao will stay in the country, and one day, he will definitely turn against Daliang.

Li Yue would never allow Haoqiang to divide Wuhui and become a country within a state.

"This move is indeed beneficial to China, but since ancient times, Wu Huihaoqiang may not be willing to go south to the wilderness." Wang Meng threw out another question.

The powerful people have been entrenched in Wuhui for hundreds of years, and their families have a big business, and they go south to Linyi, which is equivalent to distributing the wilderness.

They are not stupid, how can they be willing to suffer this living sin if they are raised in the rich land of Jiangdong?

"A two-pronged approach, one is to declare to them that Yang Linyi is full of gold, jade, and fish and rice, and the other is to put some pressure on them." Li Yuedao has waded over to the mountains and seas of fire, and he can't deal with them if he doesn't believe it.
