Han Dao world

But he only saw Liangzhou, not the overall situation.

"There are two main reasons for choosing the Wolf Residence Xu Mountain instead of the Yanran Mountain: Huo Qubing named the Wolf Residence Xu for the stability of the frontier, and Dou Xianle enshrined Yanran for personal wealth. This is one of them. Wolf Juxu Mountain is close to Xianbei Mountain, and the expedition to Langjuxu Mountain can deter Xianbei. Although Yanran Mountain has Xianbei, it is a Xianbei branch, which has little influence. The second is also. As for tactical considerations, I think you can understand the difference."

Huang Yi suddenly became enlightened. "Your Majesty has far-reaching intentions, and I understand. I am willing to do it."

"Then you should go back first, and bid farewell to Jia Shizhong tomorrow, rest for two days and make some preparations."

"Wei." Huang Yi bowed and bowed again, and exited the imperial tent.

Liu Xie said with satisfaction: "Ling Shi recommended a very good candidate, I hope he can live up to expectations."

Cai Yan covered her lips and said with a smile: "This is what His Majesty said. If the name does not match the truth, I will not be held responsible."

"I've seen it before, so I'm naturally responsible." Liu Xie smiled and frowned again. "However, such a choice is still a bit of luck after all. If you don't recommend it, or if I misread it, it will be difficult to find suitable talents in time. If there is a way that does not rely on individuals and is relatively fair, that would be even better." All right."

"Is there another way?" Cai Yan put down the pen, rubbed his fingers, and looked at Liu Xie curiously.

Liu Xie smiled. "I think Jia Shizhong's method of selecting students is good. It can form a system and recruit students once in a while. As long as they meet the requirements and pass the exam, they can enter the school."

Cai Yan blinked. "No recommendation required?"

"No, as long as you can pass the exam."

Cai Yan laughed softly: "That's good, I'm afraid the state shepherd, the governor and the governors of the counties are not willing."

Liu Xie also laughed.

Of course he knew that the state shepherd, the governor and the governors of the counties were unwilling, which meant depriving them of the power to recommend talents.But this is exactly what he wants to do. The recommendation system in the Han Dynasty has been deeply flawed, and it has also played a role in fueling the formation of the aristocratic family. It is time for reform.

If this system is not reformed, the growth of the aristocratic family cannot be stopped.

And now is a good opportunity for reform. If you miss it, you may really miss it.

"Since it's good, we can't give up just because they don't want to." Liu Xie said lightly: "Let's start with the military."

Chapter 468

After leaving the imperial tent, Liu Xie raised his arms and stretched himself.

Another hard day.

Getting up before dawn and working until midnight, he, the emperor, was more social animals than social animals.If he didn't have faith in his heart and a crisis outside his body, he would rather lie flat and be a foolish king, let those ministers work hard day and night, and still win the reputation of being a ruler.

Of course, this is just a beautiful imagination.Even in the 21st century, when the political culture is more advanced, no leader can hide from the situation. On the contrary, it is even harder, and the journey is measured by the minute.

As for under the imperial system, rule by hanging the arch will often evolve into the arch of the tomb.

Liu Xie groaned secretly for a while, then turned and walked towards Xun Wenqian's tent.

The lights were still on in the tent, and there was a figure shaking.

The female knight on duty outside the tent stood up and saluted.

Liu Xie stopped outside the tent door and coughed.There was a chuckle in the tent, and Xun Wenqian's voice came out.

"Your Majesty is down."

The tent door was opened, revealing the reddish face of the beauty He Shan.Liu Xie walked into the big tent, and saw a white cloth spread in the middle of the big tent, with a huge wolf head painted on it, with strong and powerful lines, bright wolf eyes, and flying neck hair like jumping flames.

"Is your Majesty looking okay?" Xun Wenqian stood up, holding her waist with one hand.

Liu Xie stepped forward, took Xun Wenqian's hand, and leaned over to look at the wolf's head.

This is the wolf flag he ordered Xun Wenqian to prepare for Lu Bu's expedition.Although Lu Bu only has a few hundred riders now, he has high hopes that these people will become the vanguard of the wolves in his conquest of the grassland, and Lu Bu will become the chief wolf.

In his opinion, this may be the most suitable official position for Lu Bu.

This person is not suitable for leading an army in battle, but is suitable for commanding special forces and conducting unconventional operations.

"Very good, this is a famous artist's handwriting, is it painted by Cai Lingshi?"

"Mrs. Wei's painting." Xun Wenqian pointed to the wolf's eyes. "Especially this eye."

"I can't tell, she still has this ability." Liu Xie looked carefully.This wolf eye is indeed expressive, revealing indifference and chill.

"She said that when she was a child, she encountered a wolf when she went out, and almost killed her. Later, the wolf's eyes remained in her memory, and I don't know how many times I have traced them. When they are embroidered with silk thread, they will be even more intimidating. people."

"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Xie turned around and looked around. "Where is she?"

"Today Wenhou Xiumu, I gave her a day off." Xun Wenqian pursed her lips and smiled. "If your Majesty looks okay, you can embroider tomorrow."

Liu Xie took a serious look. "I think it will work." He helped Xun Wenqian to sit up. "I just have something, and I want to hear your opinion."

"Your Majesty, the harem cannot interfere in politics."

"Just listening to your opinion, not asking you to decide."

"What's so embarrassing, Your Majesty can't decide on his own, but still listen to my concubine's opinion?"

"About the reward for the great victory at Danhan Mountain. After Marquis Wen goes out to fight, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Xun Wenqian blinked.

Although the harem cannot be involved in politics, she patrolled the border with the emperor, and Liu Xie didn't deliberately hide it from her, and there was nothing that could be hidden from her ears.It has been several months since the Danhan Mountain victory, but she has not been able to issue a reward, and she naturally knows the reason better than anyone else.

"What is His Majesty's plan?"

"The world is vast, and even if there are fast horses galloping, the imperial court will inevitably be out of reach. It is imperative to appoint loyal ministers to protect one side." Liu Xie caressed Xun Wenqian's increasingly tender hands, and said unhurriedly: "You can follow the government Up to."

Xun Wenqian tightened her hand. "Your Majesty, this...isn't appropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Xun Wenqian smiled wryly and remained silent.

Although Xun Yu was only the Yin of Hedong, he was charged with the important task of the emperor to promote the king's way, and the emperor let him govern in Hedong.Xun You supervised the elite of the three prefectures and was based in northern Xinjiang.She is by the emperor's side, although she does not have the name of a queen, she is loved by thousands of people.

The Xun family in Yingchuan is so favored, how can people in the world not be jealous?

The emperor trusted the Xun family, but also sent the Xun family to the cusp of the storm.

"Whether it's suitable or not depends only on what can't be done." Liu Xie smiled. "If things can be done, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go. A gentleman walks straight, so why care about gossip."

Xun Wenqian gave Liu Xie a white look, but hesitated to speak.She was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, why should I say too much. It's just that the general has a heavy responsibility, and he must first obtain a pledge, and then set up a barrier to prevent him from breaking the rules."

Liu Xie nodded. "That's exactly what I want to discuss with you."

To open up the four sides, it is inevitable to set up feudal towns, otherwise the imperial court will not be able to deal with related affairs in a timely manner.Anyone who has a little knowledge of history knows the hidden dangers of setting up feudal towns, and Liu Xie is naturally not unclear.

But giving up food because of choking is never the right choice.From Tang to Song, from pioneering and aggressive to introverted and conservative, many scholars consider the best era-Song, from another point of view, is the beginning of the tragedy of Chinese civilization.

It is no accident that Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was born in Song Dynasty.

However, what can solve this deadlock is definitely not a theory that comes out of thin air, but a practice that is constantly running.The balance between the local and the central government and the progress of technology, although there are various imperfections, are better than blind conservatism.

Too much emphasis on internal stability will only continue to abolish martial arts.When a strong enemy knocks on the door, there is no power to respond to the enemy.

Liu Xie hopes that Xun You can become a successful case.

At least, he should be more reliable than Han Sui.

After washing up, Liu Xie and Xun Wenqian lay down side by side, discussing the name, plan, and possible impact of establishing the Protectorate in Northern Xinjiang.

-

A few days later, Lu Bu was ready.

Liu Xie saw Lu Bu off in person, accompanied by Jia Xu.

On the way out of the camp, Liu Xie and Jia Xu brought up the idea of ​​institutionalizing the selection of students.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie in surprise. "Your Majesty, who is this speaking?"

"My own idea." Liu Xie asked back: "Sir, do you think it's not feasible?"

"It's possible, but it's not necessary." Jia Xu glanced at the assembled knights in the distance. "According to His Majesty's original plan, a 2000 army only needs [-] people, and it's only ten rounds. What's the use of recruiting new students after the tenth round?"

After Liu Xie thought for a while, he understood Jia Xu's meaning.

It's not that Jia Xu doesn't want to, but she doesn't want to show her sharpness and cause unnecessary suspicion.

An army of one hundred thousand is the limit that Liangzhou can bear. It is meaningless to have more. It will only make people feel that Liangzhou people are too ambitious and difficult to control, and then fortify Liangzhou people everywhere.

Jia Xu set limits on himself and limited the target to less than [-], which can not only ensure the right of voice of Liangzhou people in the army, but also prevent people from worrying that Liangzhou people will dominate and squeeze other people's living space.It won't be too late for Liangzhou people to lay a solid foundation and gain a firm foothold.

After all, it is impossible for a big man to only need one hundred thousand elites.

"Then let's limit it to ten phases first." Liu Xie said: "If the effect is good, it will be extended to others."

Jia Xu blinked and nodded in agreement.

Liu Xie's attitude is very firm, and he cannot stop it.Fortunately, Liu Xie was not in a hurry. He didn't say to implement it directly, but gave him enough buffer time.

Even if two phases are recruited a year, ten phases will take five years.

If only one term is recruited a year, ten term is ten years.

That being the case, there's no need to get too drastic, and there's no harm in giving it a try.

Chapter 469

The two reached a tacit understanding and slowly came to Lu Bu and the others.

Lu Bu held the reins of Chitu's horse with one hand, clenched his fist with the other, pressed it to his chest, and bowed in greeting. "Your Majesty, I will be traveling far away, may Your Majesty take care."

Liu Xie nodded. "Marquis Wen, take care." He looked at the knights behind Lu Bu again. "Everyone take care."

"Salute, farewell to Your Majesty." Huang Yi shouted, raising his fist to be considerate. "Your Majesty, take care."

Hundreds of knights shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, take care."

Liu Xie waved. "Flag presentation!"

Lu Xiaohuan kicked his horse out of the column, came to Lu Bu, winked his eyes, and sent the big flag in his arms to Lu Bu.Lu Bu was a little surprised, but he still took the banner and untied the cotton rope on it.

The snow-white banner unfolded, revealing a blood-red wolf's head.

The wolf head is vivid, with stern eyes and sharp teeth.Especially the hair on the neck, dancing like a ball of flame.

Seeing it, Lu Bu couldn't help but whispered: "Wow, what a good embroidery worker."

"It was arranged by the Son of Heaven." Lu Xiaohuan leaned over and said in a low voice, "Mother has embroidered eyes, she wants to watch you make great achievements."

There was a surge of heat in Lu Bu's heart.He nodded vigorously and said loudly, "Thank you Your Majesty for presenting the flag."

Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu. "Wen Hou, although wolves are not the most powerful beasts, they are the creatures with the strongest survivability and the most widespread distribution on the grassland. I hope you can be like wolves, fearless of any opponents, and carry this wolf flag across the grasslands, raising the flag of the wolf. I am a big man with great reputation."

"Wei!" Lu Bu got on his horse and raised the wolf flag high.

The fiery red wolf head is jumping in the sun, as if it has life.

"Let's go!" Lu Bu lightly kicked the horse's belly, Chitu turned around and galloped lightly to the north.

Huang Yi and all the knights followed one by one, followed the wolf flag, all the way north.

Mrs. Wei and Yuan Quan, who came to see them off, stared at their husbands with complicated emotions.

Hundreds of riders went deep into the grasslands and ran for thousands of miles. What the men wanted was to make meritorious deeds, but what they wanted was to return safely.

Liu Xie squinted his eyes, watched the knights drifting away, and let out a breath quietly.

He deliberately played down the significance of Lv Bu's expedition, and did not hold a particularly grand expedition ceremony except for the presentation of the flag.The number of people who came to see them off may not be aware of the significance of this expedition.

But in his heart, this is the first step in the development of Wanli.

Lu Bu was the first wolf he sent out.If the first battle is successful, it proves that this wolf pack tactic is feasible, and the scale can be expanded in the future, all the way west, drinking horses in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Eurasian steppe is the smoothest road in this era.

-

On the way back to the camp, Liu Xie and Jia Xu discussed another matter.

The reward for the great victory of Danhan Mountain.

Xun You and others took the initiative to attack Danhan Mountain on New Year's Eve last year, breaking the attempt of the Xianbei people to unite, and also provided the possibility for the stability of the frontier. The credit is not small, but there has been no reward.

Yang Biao came here with the purpose of discussing this matter, but he didn't take the initiative to mention it.

Liu Xie knew that Yang Biao wanted to wait for him to take the initiative to speak, lest people suspect that he was speaking for the people of Kanto.

The Son of Heaven toured Liangzhou and did not return for a long time. The Sangong became a decoration, and his attitude was already obvious.

"I want to reset the Protectorate, not only in the Western Regions, but also in the northern borders." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "Youzhou is more than a thousand miles from east to west. There are not only counties and counties in the south of Yanshan Mountain, but also in the north of Yanshan Mountain. The boundless prairie of Youzhou is far from enough."
