Han Dao world

Song Du has never been interested in the military camp, but recently he and Tang Ji raised the paper shop together, and had a great time, why did he suddenly want to go to the military camp with him?

"Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see how His Majesty trains troops." Song Du said with a smile, blinking his eyes exaggeratedly.

At this time, Huben notified Liu Ba to see him.

Liu Xie then put Song Du's affairs aside and asked Song Du to change clothes.

He was used to riding a horse and was not equipped with a vehicle. Song Du's clothes must be inconvenient.

After going out, Liu Xie showed a smile when he saw Liu Ba standing under the steps.

Liu Ba is a genius.

His strangeness, on the one hand, is manifested in his economic means, and on the other hand, in his conduct in the world.

Most of the scholars in the Han and Wei dynasties were talking empty talk, and they were all masters in talking about Taoism. If they were really in power, most of them would be caught blind.When it comes to the economy and people's livelihood, they avoid it even more, as if they are insulted when talking about money.

Although many people are greedy.

Later, Wang Yan, a famous official in the Western Jin Dynasty, arranged for his children to occupy a rich state, while calling Qian A Duwu, which is the embodiment of this ambivalence developed to the extreme.

But Liu Ba is a person who is good at economic means. It is his handwriting to make a lot of money and help Liu Bei solve the money shortage.

Even Zhuge Liang, who is known as a military and political all-rounder, did not hesitate to appreciate him.

But these are not as legendary as he tried his best to avoid Liu Bei's life experience.

Liu Xie has never understood whether Liu Ba's reluctance to serve Liu Bei is because he looks down on Liu Bei, or because he has the court in his heart.

Now it seems that there should be more of the latter.

"Zi Chu, did you sleep well last night?" Liu Xie walked down the steps slowly and came to Liu Ba.

Liu Ba also looked at Liu Xie and nodded slightly. "It's good, it would be even better to see His Majesty."

"Oh?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows with a puzzled expression.

"Even though the river is in chaos, there is the planning of Lord Xun's government. I think it will be stable soon. So it's good."

"Then why is it better to see me?"

"Although the world is chaotic, His Majesty will not be chaotic. The future of the great man can be expected, so it will be better."

"You read it wrong." Liu Xie sized Liu Ba's eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his finger to point to his heart. "My heart is full of thoughts and chaos, and I dare not let others see the flaws, so I can only force myself to be calm."

"Dare to ask why His Majesty is upset? Maybe I can relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Lack of food and clothing, people's livelihood is difficult. Buildings will collapse, and people's minds will change. The king's way is difficult, and the Qiang Hu knocks at the gate."

Liu Ba smiled. "So that's the case, I am not talented, and I am willing to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Appreciate further details."

"Hedong has salt and iron, and fields and mulberries. As long as you work hard, within a year, you will be able to have enough food and clothing."

"How to solve the immediate difficulties?"

"Borrow food from the big clan with salt and iron as collateral."

Liu Xie was noncommittal, and motioned to Liu Ba to continue.

"Based on the east of the river, relying on the Taihang on the left, leaning on the river on the right, and managing the capital. In less than three years, your majesty will have half of the world. Then he will merge the elite soldiers and command the world. Wherever the edict goes, there will be no war. Excited."

Liu Xie showed a slight smile.

"Since the Central Plains are unified, Your Majesty will occupy the wealth of the world, have millions of powerful troops, run wild in the desert, and stop the quicksand in the west. Those who obey will surrender, and those who disobey will be punished. Then Qianghu can be determined, and the king's way can be prosperous."

Liu Xie laughed out loud. "Zichu's ambition is commendable."

There was no trace of a smile on Liu Ba's face. "Your Majesty thinks that the minister is talking too much?"

Liu Xie shook his head. "I am young, and my government is still shallow. A frog at the bottom of a well dares to measure the depth of the East China Sea. I only know that Zichu is full of vigor, and I am very happy. If all scholars in the world are like Zichu, what worries do I have?"

Liu Ba felt a little panicked.

Although the emperor's reasons were sufficient and his attitude was very modest, he still felt that the emperor said that he was arrogant.

He was clearly smiling.

Liu Xie paused, and then said: "Zi Chu said, you can borrow salt and iron as a pledge to borrow food from the Hedong clan to solve the urgent need?"

Liu Ba nodded confidently.

"Salt and iron originally belonged to the Dasinong, but after the resurgence, it was returned to the county. According to Zichu's plan, is it the same as before, managed by the county or counties, or is it owned by the Dasinong?"

Liu Ba said: "Your Majesty has just arrived in Hedong, so it is not appropriate to change the system hastily, but slowly."

Liu Xie was admonishing like a stream. "Then take Zichu as the order of Anyi, and cooperate with the governor of Hedong, Xun Yu, to raise food and solve my urgent needs, how about it?"

Liu Ba readily obeyed.

When the emperor came to Hedong County, the Anyi order was equivalent to the Luoyang order, and it was by no means an ordinary county order.

What's more, the meaning of the emperor is also very clear, let him serve as the order of Anyi, so that he can directly manage the salt and iron.If this matter is handled well, the emperor will definitely reuse him and implement the plan he just mentioned until the king's way is realized.

The emperor gave him a chance, whether what he just said can be realized, whether he is a big talk, all depends on his own ability.It is up to him to decide which step he can go in the future.

Liu Ba couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Liu Xie made another invitation. "Are there still beginners in the south of the Yangtze River? The imperial court is waiting, the more the better."

Liu Ba didn't think about it. "There is Liu Xian, whose name is Shi Zong, who is well-known and memorized, and learns allusions in the Ming Dynasty. This is Jingzhou Biejia, and it is the court of Xinxin. If your Majesty can recruit him, he will definitely come with the Zong."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

Liu Ba said that Liu Xian could be requisitioned, which is easy to understand. Why did Liu Xian come here with his clan?

There is something in the words.

How unwilling is Liu Xian to play for Liu Biao?

Chapter 237

"Liu Xian's clan is in Xiangyang?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.

"In Lingling."

"Then..." Liu Xie was at a loss, not knowing what Liu Ba wanted to say.

Even if Liu Biao was angry that Liu Xian abandoned him and returned to the court, he wouldn't kill Liu Xian's clan to vent his anger.

This will only make Liu Xian hate him to the bone, and the people of Jingzhou will be alienated from their virtues.

It is impossible for Liu Biao to not know about the example of Cao Cao's killing of Bian Rang not long ago.

With Liu Biao's personality, he probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing.His ruthlessness is to deal with those tyrants who have little influence.For a famous person like Liu Xian, he can't do it, and he can't do it.

If Kuai Yue and Cai Mao disagreed, he could do nothing.

Liu Ba sighed. "Your Majesty, Sun Ce is eager for revenge. The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River will soon become a battlefield. Lingling is adjacent to Changsha, so it must be Sun Ce's first choice. The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River have long heard of Sun Ce's crossing the river and killing heroes in the east of the river, and they all avoid it like a tiger."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing.

He was preconceived, influenced by the existing historical experience, and never considered how the situation would develop if Sun Ce did not die.

Not so with Liu Ba.

He didn't know that Sun Ce would be assassinated and died a few years later, but he saw the possibility of Sun Ce competing for Jingzhou, and he also knew that Liu Biao was not Sun Ce's opponent.If Sun Ce rushed to Jingzhou, after taking Jiangxia, the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River must be the first to attack, not Jiangbei.

Sun Jian used to be the prefect of Changsha, with a pretty good reputation and a certain foundation in the local area.

Huang Gai under his command seems to be from Lingling.

In terms of emotion and reason, Sun Ce may be more likely to take the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River first than to directly attack the Nan County in the north of the Yangtze River.

In contrast, Liu Biao's control over Jiangnan was not stable.

It seems necessary to reassess the situation in Jiangnan.

Who knows if Sun Ce will be assassinated after history changes.

If he does not die, the situation in Jiangnan may be another situation.

"Can Sun Ce occupy all of Jiangdong and covet Jingzhou?"

Liu Ba said with confidence: "Not only Jingzhou, but also Yizhou may be included, and then Jiangnan will be separated to compete with Jiangbei."

"Are you familiar with this person?"

Liu Ba showed a bit of reluctance. "The minister's father and Sun Jian once raised righteous soldiers to challenge Dong. After Sun Ce became consul, he sent someone to invite the minister to work together, and the minister knew what he meant."

Liu Xie nodded again.

He remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

It seems that Liu Ba's arrogance was not aimed at Liu Bei alone, but Sun Ce was the first one to be rejected.

"I didn't expect your father to have such a deed. In the future, the great man will rejuvenate, and we should trace his achievements." Liu Xie said very seriously.

Although it is only an honor, it is very important to Liu Ba.

Liu Xiang died in the counterattack of the Nanyang family, which is somewhat embarrassing.If the imperial court can rectify his name, it can also make Liu Ba stand up straight.

Sure enough, Liu Ba was moved and bowed deeply.

-

After leaving the city, Liu Xie came to the barracks.

The cavalry had already lined up, waiting for the exercise to begin.

Today's cavalry is divided into three parts: the Yulin cavalry led by Zhang Ji, the third battalion cavalry of the Northern Army led by Wang Fu and others, and the Bingzhou cavalry led by Zhang Yang, with a total strength of about 5000.

Liu Xie has been training these [-] cavalry these days, and intends to select [-] elites from them as the main force to put down the Xiongnu.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring more people, but that he can't do what he wants.

There was neither enough armament nor enough food.

Three thousand riders is a reasonable range that Zhan Yangzhan can afford.

More than three thousand, the loot alone cannot meet the consumption, and can only be transported from the rear, which is a burden that the court cannot bear at present.

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yang are both experts in cavalry, while Wang Fu and others are slightly inferior.After these days of practice, the progress is also very obvious.It may not be enough to be alone, but there is no problem in following the army.

A long-distance raid for today's exercise.

Considering the difference in ordnance and training between the iron cavalry of the Han army and the light cavalry of the Huns, it is not difficult to face the cavalry of the Huns head-on.The real difficulty lies in the pursuit. To eliminate opponents in motion, tactical actions such as rapid marching and running raids have become the most important training content.

As soon as Liu Xie arrived, the exercise began immediately.

The five thousand riders were divided into ten teams, each with five hundred riders, echoed in twos, and completed communication, speed change, impact and other subjects during the fast march.

These are all plans drawn up by Liu Xie after discussing with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yang and many soldiers, simulating actual combat as much as possible.

Seeing that Liu Xie was about to march quickly with the knights, Song Du retreated.

With her riding skills, she was able to use riding instead of walking, and she couldn't bear the rapid march of dozens of miles.

Liu Xie didn't force her either, and asked him to stay in the Guangluxun camp until he came back.

Song Du was in his arms, and went happily.

Liu Xie rode to catch up with the team and ran along for a while, then suddenly realized that Song Du might not be here today to watch the exercise, but with ulterior motives.After thinking about it for a while, he guessed Song Du's purpose, and felt unspeakably awkward.

He has always regarded Song Du, Fu Shou and others as little girls who don't know much about the world, but he has forgotten what kind of environment they grew up in.When it comes to things like intrigue and power struggle, their experience may not be as good as his.

You still have to be cautious in the future, the person next to your pillow may not be reliable.

There is a group of people standing behind everyone.

-

Seeing Song Du, Song Guo, who was training soldiers, was very surprised.

Song Guo was even more surprised after Song Du finished talking about the emperor's arrangement for Song Hong.

No wonder the Son of Heaven has been paying so much attention to cavalry training recently, it turned out that there was such an arrangement.Not only is it imperative to conquer the Huns, but it is also planned to bring only [-] cavalry and no infantry.

Song Guo didn't dare to neglect, and handed over the military training to the lieutenant general, and rushed to the Weiwei camp by himself.

Sun Rui, a scholar, was reviewing the results of military training with Wei Jie and Ju Jun. Seeing Song Guo rushing over, he was somewhat puzzled.

Song Guo explained his purpose.
