After Ma Tan was rewarded and successfully opened the government, the first thing he did was to deal with the northern border, even if the government military system and the selection of the front strategy had to be put in the back row.

Now the capital of the Han Dynasty has moved out of Shu and come to the land of Guanzhong. While moving the core sphere of influence of the Han Dynasty to the north, it also made the control of the northern territory a rigid need.

In fact, whether it was the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, or even the Tang Dynasty...... As long as the capital is established in Guanzhong, then the Hetao Plain must be completely controlled.

You must know that the Hetao Plain and Guanzhong are basically next to each other, and there is only one Xiao Pass that can be used as an arch guard in the middle!

And although Xiao Pass is a dangerous pass, he can't completely block the road to the south. The forces of the Hetao Plain really want to enter the Guanzhong in the south, and just one Xiao Pass is not of much use.

Therefore, after the opening of the government and the collection of people, the first meeting of Ma Tan was to discuss the recapture of the Hetao Plain.

It is worth mentioning that the Hussar General's Mansion had just been established, and the establishment was full in an instant. These include, but are not limited to, Liu Yin, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Zhang Wei, Deng Fan, Wang Ping......

Almost half of the senior generals of the Han Dynasty are included, and there are four of the four towns alone.

"Now that Your Majesty has moved the capital to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven has entered the customs, and the recovery of the entire northern border must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Ma Jian didn't talk nonsense at all, and said straight to the point.

"According to my discussion with the prime minister, at least this year, the scope of control will be extended to Shangjun and all possibilities for the enemy army to enter Guanzhong. Within two years, Dahan's control would have to be extended to the middle set. ”

"It's a difficult task because time is tight. Moreover, the main force of the Han army will not move, and only the troops of the four towns in the north can be used. ”

Do you have any suggestions for this? If not, I'll go into battle myself. ”

"General! I have ......" Deng Fan immediately spoke, intending to present his strategy. However, before he could finish speaking, Ma Jian immediately said seamlessly,

"Okay, since there are no suggestions, then I'll go down myself."

Deng Fan: "??? ”

"You have rested in Chang'an for two days, and three days later, the General's Mansion officially entered Beidi County north!" Ma Jian didn't care about Deng Fan's confused eyes at all, and immediately wanted to finalize this matter.

Just kidding, if I ask you to suggest sending someone out, how can I die? Especially in the context of the Han Dynasty's all-out supply and relocation of the capital, the opportunity to mobilize troops is less than once.

Ma Tan didn't intend to let go of such an opportunity, even if his chances of death were slim.

However, Ma Tan's wishful thinking this time is afraid that it will be in vain, because there is a person who is really familiar with him who has returned to Ma Tan.

Shi Limu, the head of the Hussar General's Mansion, stood up directly at this time, and also did not give Ma Jian any face, and said directly,

"Envoy! General Deng just said that he has a suggestion, and if you leave for such a thing in the north, who will organize the promotion of the government military system? If Guanzhong lacks your seat, I am afraid that no one else can stop the reform if there is a problem! ”

"Think about whether the prospect of the Great Han is more important, or the northern border is more important, think twice!"

"What's more, if you leave, the large and small military forces in Guanzhong will have Shangshutai and the Prime Minister's Mansion to be responsible. Prime Minister Zhuge is already working very hard, and the diagnosis of the imperial doctor Hua Fei is overwork. You're doing this because you're afraid that the prime minister's work won't be enough......"

"Stop, stop! Ziwen don't talk about it, can't I go if I don't go! Ma Yan's head was big when he heard it, and he directly raised the white flag in less than half a minute.

Although the two haven't seen each other for five years, Li Mu still knows Ma Jian best. The words were basically all in the direction that Ma Jian cared about, and the more he said it, the more outrageous it became, making Ma Jian himself feel that he was going to die, was it a little too sinful.

He is so evil that it is not his turn to amnesty the whole world......

was blocked by Li Mu like this, Ma Jian could only ask Deng Fan to explain his plan.

Deng Fan stayed in the north for nearly three years, and just like he did in Nanyang, he memorized all the mountains and rivers in the north, as well as the environment and climate. At the same time, he is also the founder of the Northland Military Town, and he has the most say in the recovery of the Hetao Plain.

"General, it's not difficult to strike at the Hu people in Shangjun, and you don't even need to be dispatched. With only the strength of the two military towns in Northland County, it will be possible to recover Upper County in two months. Deng Fan took out a hand-drawn map, which clearly marked the topography and tribal distribution of the entire upper county.

"After all, the Hu forces in Shangjun have been hit hard in recent years, and the reason why they exist is entirely because of the response of the Wei army in the annexed state. So far, except for Longmendu, the rest of the ferries are all controlled by our army, and the Wei army in Bingzhou is no longer able to support the Shangjun Hu bandits. ”

"The general only needs to give me two towns of soldiers and horses, and within three months, he can pacify Shangjun for the general, and set up a military town here again!"

"As for the Hu people in the direction of Wuyuan in the north, they can assign him to attack, relying on Kirby, who has been held hostage for many years, to move troops to the center."

Deng Fan quickly listed the strategies needed in the north, and the core idea was to fight slowly. Because the cities in the counties of the Hetao Plain were badly damaged, if you wanted to control it safely, the only option was to push forward step by step.

So strategically speaking, Ma Jian really has no place to play. Even if he knocked down the entire Hetao in one wave, the Han army would not be able to stand on its feet in a short time, but would waste resources seriously.

After Deng Fan's big strategy, coupled with Li Mu's eyesight next to him, Ma Jian had to nod and agree to Deng Fan's proposal. In the end, under Ma Yan's appointment, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Deng Fan, and Zhang Wei were ordered to take charge of all affairs in the north.

Wang Ping was responsible for going to the town to guard Pujindu, firmly blocking the Yellow River crossing to deal with the northern border.

Of course, Deng Fan and they need to be responsible not only for recovering the lost territory, but also for protecting the safety of a prince and king.

After the ministers were rewarded, Ma Tan recommended Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang proposed to divide the prince. It turned out that Liu Chen, the last male son of the famous Shu Han in history, was named the king of Beidi, and several counties were specially set aside from Beidi County as his food town.

In this regard, there were different expressions among several princes, among which the crown prince Liu Xuan laughed the loudest.

And Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, looked ignorant, after all, the three-year-old child didn't understand what he was going to face. But the task of protecting this king of the North also fell on the shoulders of Deng Fan and others, and in general, the burden was not small.

After the hussar general's mansion made a decision, the resolution was handed over to Wei Yan for a seal, and then it was immediately implemented. From beginning to end, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the palace will never be mixed, but in the end, Ma Jian needs to hand in a backup.

Since then, the four generals of the northern territory have been elected, and everyone in the entire Hussar General's Mansion is basically happy, except for Ma Yan.

Ma Tan was very angry that the boiled duck had flew.
