Han Dao world

After hearing this, Hu Chuquan became more determined in his mind.

Horse fattening in autumn and winter is the best time to go out for an expedition.After the new year, when spring comes, the war horses will lose their husks, which is not a good time to go out at all.

"Your Majesty, the United States is far away, and it will take time to organize an expedition. Is there still time after the New Year?"

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Back then, when Huo Qubing defeated King Youxian's tribe, he traveled thousands of miles, and it took only half a month. What's too late?"

Hu Chuquan was both surprised and delighted. "How many cavalry does Your Majesty have?"

"Three thousand riders."

Hu Chuquan's mood that had just been soaring fell to the ground with a plop. "Only three thousand?"

"Three thousand is not enough?" Liu Xie smiled with an extremely confident calmness. "Back then Wei Qing broke through Dragon City with a thousand riders, and Huo Qubing made new achievements with [-] riders. My three thousand riders may not be able to directly attack Dragon City and level the grasslands, but it is more than enough to put down Meiji's rebellion."

Chapter 215 Returning with Honor

Hu Chuquan is both happy and worried.

The joy is that if what the emperor said is true, then he will have the hope of revenge, and finally have the opportunity to return to Meiji and be a real Shanyu.

What is worrying is that he feels that the emperor seems to be out of his mind.

To put it lightly, it is frivolous.

To put it more seriously, there is a hole in the brain.

Even if you are a genius like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, is the big guy now still the big guy back then?

Hu Chuquan decided to calm down and think about it for a few days.

Anyway, the emperor said that there is no rush, and there will be time after the New Year.

Liu Xie saw Hu Chuquan's perfunctory, and Cai Yan saw it too.After Hu Chuquan retreated, Shaofu Tian Fen led him to Anyi City and was handed over to Da Honglu to receive him. Cai Yan couldn't help admonishing him.

"Your Majesty, those who make light promises have little faith, are not suitable for a gentleman."

Liu Xie was unmoved. "You also think it's impossible?"

Cai Yan endured her anxiety and nodded.

"Then the Huns must also think it's impossible."

"This..." Cai Yan was taken aback, staring at Liu Xie again and again. "Your Majesty, do you... really have such a plan?"

"Am I a person who takes promises lightly?" Liu Xie said lightly: "Guo Tu has escaped, Yuan Shao will get the news soon, and there will be a big battle between Shangdang and Hanoi soon. Army, once they are allowed to echo Yuan Shao, Taiyuan will be surrounded by enemies and there will be no peace."

Cai Yan was shocked.

Only then did she realize that the emperor has not been idle these days.

He is in Hedong, but his heart is in Bingzhou.

After all, Hedong is only a county, and it cannot support the foundation of Dahan Zhongxing.

It must be combined with the state to have a chance.

It took a while for Cai Yan to regain his composure. "Your Majesty's ambition is commendable, and winning by surprise is indeed in line with the strategy of a military strategist, but can three thousand cavalry really put down the Xiongnu rebels in Meiji? There are more than [-] cavalry there."

"Even if the Huns' 4000 riders are not false, they are not what you imagined. The [-] riders probably include all people who can ride horses, including many old and weak women and children. The real elite, I can't guess the number of [-]. And scattered in the hands of the masters of various departments. Each department has three to four thousand people, and the most is no more than five or six thousand."

Liu Xie analyzed the strength of the Huns unhurriedly.

He ignored Yang Biao and others these days, and let the scholar Sun Rui perform. Part of the reason was to prepare for the war against the Huns.

The population in Hedong is too small, and Taiyuan and Shangdang are not enough. If you want to build an army that can protect itself and gain a foothold in Bingzhou, the most suitable choice is the semi-Chinese Huns.

With a population of [-] Huns, elite soldiers, old and weak herding sheep and farming, the cost is low and the effect is quick.

Of course there are risks, but they are not insurmountable.

As long as the planning is proper, it is not an impossible task to use [-] well-equipped cavalry as the main force, coerce Huchuquan to be the leading party, pacify Meiji, and subdue the Huns as dogs.

If Jia Xu can bring thousands of cavalry from Liangzhou, he will be more confident.

After listening to Liu Xie's explanation, Cai Yan was a little confused.

I have to say that the emperor's plan is very bold.

Bold is bold, but not without the possibility of success.It can even be said that the possibility of success is not low.

"Your Majesty, Pei Qian has not returned for a long time, is he preparing ordnance in the Iron Officer?"

"Smart." Liu Xie smiled slightly. "Using the captured vests as samples, it is a difficult task to build at least 3000 real vests, plus armor, bows, spears, swords and shields enough to equip [-] people. I can’t find another person to complete it. With those old people, it’s estimated that the wrangling will last until after the New Year.”

Cai Yan pouted.

The emperor's dissatisfaction with the veteran was beyond words.

-

golden city.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Han Sui took a step forward and opened the door with a smile on his long and thin face.

Ma Teng also followed, raising his thick arms to serve as armrests.

Jia Xu couldn't help laughing. "Wen Yue, Shou Cheng, you are trying to flatter and kill me."

Han Sui smiled more enthusiastically. "Brother Wenhe, do you think that with your own strength, we Liangzhou people have regained our foothold in the court. The contribution is so great that we can go straight to Sanming, and it is enough to make hundreds of thousands of Han Qiang in Liangzhou grateful. I will welcome you with Shoucheng You should too."

Ma Teng echoed, "That's right, that's right."

Jia Xu glanced across the faces of the two of them. "really?"

Han Sui raised his finger to the sky. "The world can learn from the sun and the moon. After receiving the news that the emperor pardoned the people of Liangzhou, I told Shoucheng that it is difficult for brother Wenhe to do this job. If there is a chance, I should lead a horse and a chariot for my brother to show respect." .”

Ma Teng also said: "It's absolutely true, it's absolutely true."

"There's no need to lead the horse to draw the cart." Jia Xu stretched out his hand to support Ma Teng's arm, got out of the cart, and then took it back. "As long as you are willing to listen to me say a few words, I will be satisfied."

"Brother Wen He, you're out of touch." Han Sui walked forward with Jia Xu while beckoning people waiting on the side of the road to come over. "You are now a hero in Liangzhou, no matter what orders you have, we will listen to them."

Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

While speaking, a group of people came over and stepped forward to salute one by one.

Han Sui introduced. "This is the dog Han Yin, this is Yan Xing..."

Han Yin and Yan Xing stepped forward to salute, with a respectful attitude.

Jia Xu looked at the two young men, nodded frequently, and praised them a few times.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Teng's sons Ma Chao and Ma Xiu also stepped forward to salute.Ma Chao is just a weak champion, full of heroism, Ma Xiu looks like Ma Chao, but a little bit less energetic, and looks a little shy.

Jia Xu also praised a few words.

After dozens of people saluted, Jia Xu looked around and looked at a group of teenagers, full of emotion.

"Wen Yue, Shou Cheng, I really envy these young people."

Han Sui was puzzled. "Brother Wenhe, why did you say that?"

"Do you still remember the time when you went to Luoyang to make a plan, and you met in the General's Mansion?"

Han Sui's expression darkened, he sighed, but he didn't answer.

It was the most memorable encounter in his life.

After spending countless thoughts and money, and accompanying countless smiling faces, it was easy to get the recommendation of the prefect Chen Yi and become a top strategist.He went to Beijing to study, and was received by General He Jin.I thought I could become famous in one fell swoop, so I stayed in Luoyang, but I didn't expect to be ashamed.

In a fit of anger, he contacted the Qiang people after he came back, killed the prefect Chen Yi, and raised his troops to rebel.

"Finally, their generation doesn't have to be squeezed out by the Kanto people like you and me." Jia Xu sighed, "Ziyi, Yanming, Meng Qi, you should seize the opportunity to fight for my Liangzhou people and live up to them." Shaohua."

Han Yin and Ma Chao are the only ones.

Han Sui's eyes flickered slightly. "Brother Wenhe, when you came back this time, didn't you enlist them to be princes in accordance with the edict of the emperor?"

Jia Xu glanced at Han Sui with a smile. "If they are enlisted to be court officials, do I need to make a special trip?"

Han Sui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Slip of speech, slip of speech. So, is there a big chance?"

Jia Xu nodded. "It can be said that this may be the biggest encounter in Liangzhou since Xiaowu."

Han Sui and Ma Teng exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Han Yin, Ma Chao and the others couldn't help jumping for joy. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Jia Xu and listened intently.

Chapter 216 Taking advantage of the situation

Jia Xu looked at Han Sui and Ma Teng with a smile. "Wenyue, Shoucheng, although it's a big chance, it's not in such a hurry."

Han Sui suddenly realized, and patted his forehead reproachfully.

"I'm rude, I'm rude. Brother Wenhe, please, let's go back to the city first and clean up the dust for you."

Ma Teng said: "Wen Yue, it's too far to go back to the city, and there are too many people, why don't you just stay in my camp. The cattle and sheep are ready-made, and no one bothers you. You can calmly listen to Wen He's explanation."

Han Sui rolled his eyes, feeling a little regretful, but he couldn't refuse.

Like Ma Teng, he does not want too many people to know the good news brought by Jia Xu.Once it spreads, who knows if those people will still follow him, change their minds, and switch to the imperial court.

Although Ma Teng didn't talk much, he thought well.

Only in this way, Ma Teng became the host ahead of him, a native of Jincheng.

But he quickly regained his composure, and said with a calm smile: "Brother Wenhe, it's rare that Shoucheng is so generous, so I won't argue."

Jia Xu laughed out loud.

I have known for a long time that Han Sui has a lot of eyes, and Ma Teng looks rough, but he is actually a shrewd person.The two became sworn brothers because of the situation, so he purposely spoke out to see their reaction.

"I also have the same intention. Guanzhong is broken and the court is difficult. I haven't had a good meal for a long time. Sigh, when I think of the beef and mutton in Guanzhong, my index finger twitches."

"Then let Wenhe brother have fun today." Ma Teng said with a smile.

A group of people boarded the chariot again and rushed to Ma Teng's camp.

Han Sui took the first step and took the initiative to ride with Jia Xu.

For the sake of convenience, Jia Xu's carriage is not big enough to accommodate two people.Ma Teng has a majestic body, and it would be cramped to squeeze in, so he had to give up.Watching Han Sui and Jia Xu talking and laughing happily, telling some stories about celebrities, Ma Teng couldn't help but stand aside.He rode first, but ordered his eldest son Ma Chao to accompany Jia Xu and listen to Jia Xu's orders.

Han Sui knew it well, so he had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and gossip with Jia Xu.

-

When they came to Ma Teng's camp, Ma Teng asked Jia Xu to sit at the head, and he and Han Sui sat with him, and his children were at the bottom.

After washing up and changing again, Jia Xu started chatting with Han Sui and Ma Teng.

"Do you still want to go to Guanzhong?" Jia Xu cut to the chase. "Now may be the best opportunity."

Han Sui and Ma Teng regained their spirits immediately.

Liangzhou is separated from Guanzhong by a mountain, but the treatment is very different.Guanzhong belongs to Gyeonggi, but Liangzhou is a frontier state.

Moreover, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields in Guanzhong, which is undoubtedly more suitable for survival than the bitter cold Liangzhou.

If you can settle down in Guanzhong, that would be great.

Han Sui was relatively astute and kept his composure. "Brother Wenhe, is this the court's intention?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "The imperial court you are talking about refers to the Son of Heaven, or the Sangong Jiuqing?"

Han Sui rolled his eyes. "Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference." Jia Xu said, "If the great man perishes, the Son of Heaven will be the ruler of the subjugated country. He will lose his honor in life, and he will lose face to see Liu's ancestors in death. As for the Sangong and Jiuqing, what is the loss?"

Han Sui sighed softly.

The death of the great Han is indeed not a big loss to the Sangong Jiuqing, the big deal is just another emperor.Even if someone is willing to keep the festival for the great man, he is only retiring himself from the official position, and will never stop his descendants from becoming an official in the new dynasty.

When Wang Mang usurped the Han, there were countless ministers who supported him.Now that Yuan Shao owes the favor of the fourth generation and the third lord, how many people can refuse him.

Only in this way, the fate of Liangzhou people will be even worse.

When he was left out in the cold by the great general He Jin, Yuan Shao was the great general.

"Although the emperor is young, he has extraordinary talent. Liangzhou is the root of disasters for the ministers. To the emperor, it is the foundation of rejuvenation. Han Gaozu ruled the world with the three Qin knights, and Han Wu used the six counties as good families Zi pacified Siyi, Guangwu used seclusion to unite Tuqi to fight for the Central Plains, and today Zi wants to use seclusion to unite the elites of the three prefectures of Liang to rejuvenate the great Han and rejuvenate the great cause of Han and Wu."

Jia Xu took a sip of water, then glanced at Ma Chao, Han Yin and the others. "Kid, work hard, Wei Huo's merits are waiting for you to wait for the next generation."

Ma Chao and Han Yin couldn't help puffing out their chests, full of vigor and enthusiasm.
