Han Dao world

It's good to be youthful, but not reckless.

Impulse is the devil.

Zhang Xiu explained that regardless of whether Xiu Tuge really had [-] people, the killing of Qiang Qu was definitely not because of Xiu Tuge's strength.

With the virtue of the Huns, if the two sides were really disparate in strength, Meiji's Shan Yuting would have been plowed several times, why wait until the Qiang Canal?

The killing of Qiangqu was due to internal discord, such as the right part of the Xiongnu colluding with Xiutu;

Liu Xie Neng understood the latter reason and asked Zhang Xiu to explain the discord among the Huns.

Zhang Xiu said: "Your Majesty thinks, is it the Han people who hate the officials, or the Huns who hate the big and small kings?"

Liu Xie didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It is a fact that the Han officials forced the people to rebel, and the Huns also had a similar situation?

"Hey." Zhang Xiu smiled smugly. "Your Majesty, although the Han people are suffering, they still have the king's law. When they meet good officials, they may still be the masters for them. The Huns are all slaves. If they were killed, no one will avenge them except their relatives." Maybe there are still people who take the sheep and divide their property."

"There is such a thing?" Pei Jun felt incredible and couldn't help asking.

Liu Xie didn't ask, he suddenly realized a problem: the Huns still practiced slavery.

Those ordinary Huns seem to be singing songs and herding sheep, and robbing them if they have nothing to do. In fact, they are all slaves of the Huns nobles, and they have no personal freedom.

Zhang Xiu was even more proud, and talked about what he had seen and heard.

The Huns moved to settle in Senei, and received rewards from the court every year. The price was to defend the border and send troops to assist the Han army in fighting.However, the rewards from the imperial court were divided among the nobles, and the ordinary people did not get any rewards, and the responsibilities of guarding the border and fighting could not be shirked.

Those who have been grazing are better, but those who cultivate are in trouble.

Cattle and sheep can be taken away, but fields cannot be taken away.Going out for a long time will inevitably affect farming, but the tax they should pay to the nobles cannot be less.It would be better if you won the battle and got the spoils.If you lose the battle, you will lose your fortune.

Unfortunately, in the past few years, the Han army has hardly won any battles in the fortress.

This led to two results: first, most ordinary people went bankrupt, and second, the nobles of the Xiongnu also felt that it was not worthwhile to depend on the Han people.If they continue to fight, their losses will be too great, but their gains will be very limited.

Therefore, the nobles of the Xiongnu were very dissatisfied with Qiangqu, who was wholeheartedly attached to the Han people. They colluded with Xiutu, attacked Meiji, and killed Qiangqu.

Just as Zhang Xiu was talking, Zhang Yang also rushed over.After listening to Zhang Xiu's explanation, Zhang Yang agreed.

Mostly true.

Liu Xie had a bottom line in his heart.

He asked Zhang Yang again, "About how many Huns are there in Meiji?"

"[-] to [-] households, at most no more than [-] households." Zhang Yang said: "I think that instead of worrying about them joining forces with Xiutu, it is better to prevent Xianbei people from disturbing the border. Although after Tan Shihuai's death, Xianbei people are not as good as before, It is still much stronger than the Huns. The internal strife among the Huns is a good opportunity for the Xianbei to nibble."

Liu Xie thinks so.

The Huns have declined, and there is not much left.The Xianbei people are full of vigor and vitality, accumulating strength for the southward invasion a hundred years later, so they must be guarded against.

Liu Xie ordered people to buy wine and talked with Zhang Yang and Zhang Xiu in detail.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Xiu were standard frontier warriors, and it was rare for them to have the opportunity to speak up. Seeing the emperor's favor, they were inexplicably grateful and wished to tell Liu Xie everything they knew.

It's just that Cai Yan and Pei Jun suffered and memorized a lot of nonsense.

-

Liu Xie stayed in Pingyang for two days.

During the past two days, he arranged for Cai Yan and Pei Jun to look up historical materials, and at the same time asked Yang Xiu and the military teachers to extensively consult people who knew about Qianghu in Bingzhou and collect information as much as possible.

Sometimes, Liu Xie had to inquire with himself, showing off the interrogation skills that could make court officials ashamed.

What Yang Biao and other ministers do not understand does not mean that others do not understand.

In fact, there are quite a few people who are familiar with side affairs, but their status is too low and they don't have much chance to speak.

Liu Xie didn't pay much attention to high and low, as long as he could get useful information, he was willing to ask anyone for advice, even if the other party was an ordinary soldier or even a Hun.

A large amount of information comes together like a tide.

Cai Yan and others sorted out and compared them day and night, and finally compiled a document of nearly [-] characters.

Cai Yan also drew a map, marking several grazing lands of the Huns, which greatly impressed Liu Xie.

Xun You was also very satisfied after looking at the map, saying that with this map, even if it is not completely accurate, it is enough to ensure the success of this battle.Next, it depends on the on-the-spot performance of the monarchs, ministers and soldiers.

It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to heaven to make things happen. There is inevitably an element of luck in combat.

But the monarch and his ministers are united, and they are able to make such meticulous preparations, luck will not be bad.

Cai Yan was not satisfied.

She learned from historical materials that in the 22nd year of Jianwu, a Han man named Guo Heng entered Beijing with a map of the Huns.But she didn't see this map in the books hidden in the palace, and she didn't know whether it was not included in the palace or lost.

Dong Zhuo lost a lot of materials when he moved his capital, perhaps the map was among them.

Everything was ready, Liu Xie asked Chu Quan and Qu Bei to be summoned.

Chapter 269 Guo Tu Returns

Hu Chuquan and Qubei waited for two days, and finally got the chance to be interviewed by the emperor, but he didn't know what the result would be, and he felt very upset.

"Youxian King, you are fighting Xiutu separately, do you have a map?"

Qubei's face changed slightly, but he forced himself to be calm, with a dazed look on his face.

"What map?"

Of course he has a map, but he does not intend to give this map to Liu Xie.

That map showed the locations of the Meiji Royal Court and the various ministries of the Southern Huns, including mountains, rivers, and all locations where they could camp and graze.

If it falls into the hands of the emperor of the Han family, they will have no secrets to speak of.

Liu Xie was annoyed, but he didn't say anything. He just spread the map drawn by Cai Yan and others in front of them.

Incompetence and fury will only make people laugh, and strength can win dignity.

After seeing what it was, Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei were shocked.

"Your Majesty, where did this come from?" Qu Bei's eyes were terrified, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"I ordered someone to sort it out just now." Liu Xie said calmly, "See if there is anything that needs to be added or revised."

"Wei, Wei." Qu Bei wiped his sweat while nodding his head, the sweat on Kun's head dripped down continuously.

Cai Yan and Pei Jun, who have paid the most in the past two days, can see clearly from the side, full of a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

They are well aware of how much pressure this map puts on Qubei, no less than the three hundred Jiaqi.

And this pressure comes from their hard work in the past two days, from the pens in their hands.

After reading it at Beibei, the already white face became even whiter, and even the lips lost their color.

"Is there nothing to add?" Liu Xie asked again.

"No...no." Qu hummed like a gnat.

"In that case, let's go." Liu Xie put away the map. "Just take everyone with you, or should you lead the warriors who dare to fight first? According to my opinion, the use of soldiers should be like a rabbit, and it should not be procrastinated, so as not to leak the news, and the rebels are prepared."

Qubei and Hu Chuquan discussed it, and decided to accept Liu Xie's suggestion, leaving their family members and marching with only soldiers.

After Meiji's rebellion is quelled, it won't be too late to pick up the family members.

In case the Han army is not useful in the middle, it is not possible to suppress the rebellion, and they are defeated instead, and it is convenient to escape.

Liu Xie didn't say anything to them, and asked them to go back and prepare, and set off early the next morning.

After Hu Chuquan left, Liu Xie called the ministers and generals to discuss matters.

After showing the harvest of these two days, the ministers and ministers were a little ashamed.

The problem they all thought was impossible to solve was solved by Liu Xie in just two days.

The resources used are within the barracks, but none of them thought of it.

This further proves that the emperor disagrees with the wisdom of the Taiwei in charge of soldiers.

It's not that the emperor is unwilling to delegate power, but that they don't have the ability to take on the responsibility of being a captain.

Liu Xie then made arrangements.

Yulin Zhonglang Zhang Xiu leads the Yulin Cavalry, Xiaoqi General Zhang Yang leads the Bingzhou Cavalry, and Yueqi School Lieutenant Wang Fu leads the carefully selected Northern Army Qianqi. Follow him first, and under the leadership of the Huns, go north along the road. Go straight to Meiji.

Sun Rui, a marquis in the Northern Army, led the remaining cavalry to Taiyuan to take over the defense.In particular, control Jingxing leading to Jizhou, send scouts and rangers to inquire about news, understand the situation in Jizhou, and recruit heroes from Jizhou.

Gongqing moved with the Northern Army, offering sacrifices to mountains and rivers, announcing imperial decrees, and collecting supplies and fodder.

In the end, Liu Xie solemnly said to Sun Rui, "Taiyuan's military is entrusted to you."

Sun Rui bowed to accept the order.

The ministers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, His Majesty still misses the old days, and is willing to give Shi Sun Rui a chance to make amends.

Early the next morning, Liu Xie led his troops to set off.

At the same time, Yang Xiu rushed to the various ministries of Xiutu to announce the imperial edict.

-

Yecheng.

Xu You stood by the side of the road, looking with his hands behind his back.

A carriage was approaching slowly and stopped in front of him.

Xu You stepped forward, stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain, tilted his head and glanced inside.After confirming that it was Guo Tu himself, he looked Guo Tu carefully, and the beard on his lips trembled, as if he wanted to laugh.

Guo Tu looked at him coldly, pretending to be calm without saying a word.

Although he has looked in the mirror countless times to make sure that no one can see that his front teeth are missing, he still has a guilty conscience and is afraid of being laughed at.

Xu You is a carefree person, and he is very presumptuous in the first place.Now that he loses face, it is almost inevitable to be ridiculed by him.

What is rare is that Xu You actually held back.

"My lord asked me to welcome you." Xu You said, coughing.

Guo Tu was a little disappointed, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Hello, my lord?"

"Not good." Xu You shook his head. "You don't want to come back, Liu He is leaving again, how can he be in a good mood?"

Guo Tu sighed. "He's going to leave after all."

Xu You looked at Guo Tu and smiled. "He didn't want to leave on his own. He received the emperor's edict and was worshiped as the general of Zhengbei Zhonglang, leading the governor of Youzhou, and wanted to rush to Youzhou to take up his post."

Guo Tu was angry.When Xu You said this, he obviously meant that he returned home without a feather, while Liu He was awarded a real job.

But he didn't have an attack, it's not worth fighting with Xu You.

"What arrangements does the court have for Gongsun Zan?"

"I don't know." Xu You said casually, "My lord will not let Liu He leave."

Guo Tu was not surprised at all.

Yuan Shao wanted to occupy Youzhou for a long time, but he never succeeded.It was Liu Yu who didn't cooperate before, but now that Liu Yu is dead, as long as he kills Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao can control Youzhou in his own hands, so why bother with Liu He.

The more Liu He was determined to leave, the more unlikely Yuan Shao would let him go.

When necessary, Yuan Shao would even kill Liu He.

Guo Tu couldn't help but worry.

Now is really not the time to kill Liu He.

"Where is the lord?" Guo Tu beckoned Xu You to get into the car. "I'm going to see him."

Xu You didn't move, but stretched out his hand to pull Guo Tu. "Don't worry, aren't you tired after driving such a long distance? Get out of the car, I'll prepare wine and wash the dust for you. There are still some things I want to tell you first, so as not to be distracted and inconvenient."

Guo Tu angrily shook off Xu You's hand. "Is it time to drink now? The little emperor worshiped Liu He as the general and ruled Youzhou. It is clearly a way of alienation. If the lord mishandles it, he will fall into the trick of the little emperor."

"Do you think it was the little emperor's idea?" Xu You showed a trace of doubt. "He doesn't look like such a smart guy."

"Does he look stupid?"

"Yeah." Xu You nodded. "I just received news that the little emperor is on a tour of Taiyuan. It really doesn't seem like a wise choice to visit Taiyuan at this time."
