Han Dao world

There are several people in the big tent, sitting around a map and discussing together, the atmosphere is very lively.Seeing him coming in, Liu Xie nodded and motioned him to wait.

Yuan Shu consciously sat on the side, stretched his neck, and took a look.

He also stayed in northern Xinjiang for a while, and at a glance he saw that part of the map was Youzhou, and then realized that the map was outside the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang.

Because Youzhou is only in the lower right corner, and there are several mountains on it, which should be Yanshan and Taihang.

Yuan Shu looked at the others again, and saw a familiar face.

Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was talking eloquently while pointing at the map. "A large army's expedition is based on food and geography. The most labor-saving way to transport food for thousands of miles is the ship. I heard that there is a big water in the north of Mobei, which connects the East China Sea and the North Sea. If this water can be found, not only the problem of food transportation can be solved. Solved, the navy can also go north to assist the cavalry in combat."

Pang Tong raised his hand.

Zhou Yu stopped and looked at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong said: "Let's not talk about whether we can find the big water. It's extremely cold in the north. Will the big water not freeze? When the warship freezes, what will the navy do?"

Zhou Yu smiled. "Shiyuan's worry is indeed justified. Although I haven't seen this big water with my own eyes, according to common sense, it will probably freeze, and it will freeze for half a year a year. But even if it freezes, it can still be transported. Soldiers transport food."

"It's freezing, how do you transport troops and food?" Pang Tong was confused and couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Shu's heart moved, and he blurted out. "Fool, you can drive on ice, and the speed is very fast."

Everyone looked over with a "shua", even Liu Xie was no exception.Yuan Heng, who was in charge of recording at the side, was so flushed that he didn't dare to lift his head.

"Is it possible to drive on ice?" Pang Tong laughed. "Yuan Jun is well-informed."

Yuan Shu didn't speak, just looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie nodded with a smile, signaling Yuan Shu not to be cautious.

Yuan Shu coughed, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when I was young, I was the captain of Changshui. There were many Hu people from Mobei in the camp. I heard from them that in winter, the ground is covered with ice and snow, and you can't walk. You can use wooden boards as carts." , sliding on the ice and snow at an extremely fast speed. Since there is a lot of water, it must be very smooth even on the ice, so driving should not be a problem."

Liu Xie smiled and looked at Zhou Yu. "is that so?"

Zhou Yu took a serious look at Yuan Shu and said, "As Yuan Jun said. In addition to driving on ice, you can also use wooden boards as boots to slide on snow, and the speed is also extremely fast. Of course, to transport a large amount of supplies, it is still ice carts. more convenient."

Pang Tong and the others looked at each other, chattering in low voices.

Only Zhuge Liang sat aside, his face was calm, and he didn't say a word.

Pang Tong couldn't help but said, "Kong Ming, have you seen it too?"

Zhuge Liang smiled. "I haven't seen it, but when I was in Liangzhou with His Majesty, I saw local children skating. Since Liangzhou has it, and Saibei is colder, there must be some. Gongjin, I'm just curious, the ice is so slippery, what kind of livestock is used to do it? pull the cart?"

Zhou Yu said: "You can use horses or deer. Deep in Mobei, there is a kind of deer that is as big as a horse and can walk freely on ice."

As he spoke, he took out a roll of paper from his pocket and spread it out on the case. "This is the picture I just drew based on what the Hu people said. Because I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it may be a little distorted."

Everyone gathered around to look, and Yuan Shu also took a look in the crowd.

It was a flat-bottomed car with only a carriage and no wheels, pulled by two deer with big horns.There was a person sitting in the car, holding a long whip, covered in fur, and looked like a big bear at first glance.

A young servant said with a smile: "It can't be that there is a Xiong family recorded in the history books?"

Another young servant said: "It is not impossible. Since the Huns are descendants of the Xia Dynasty, it is not surprising that there are descendants of the Yellow Emperor in Mobei."

An older waiter nodded seriously. "Since they are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, we really can't just sit back and watch them mingle with the barbarians. We should educate them so that they are well-dressed and civilized, and we can't forget our ancestors."

Yuan Shu looked at this group of young people and suddenly felt a little emotional.

This is what young people should be like.

Chapter 882 Thinking Too Much

After discussing for less than half an hour, it was finally decided to arrange for people to go deep into the Mobei tribe in the name of doing business, to survey the geography, understand the direction of mountains and rivers, and prepare for the future management of Mobei.

If you can really find the big water that Zhou Yu said can communicate with the North Sea, and transport it by water, it is indeed possible to solve the problem of transporting troops and food, thereby strengthening the control of Mobei.

If the actual line of control of the Han can be pushed to the Beihai area, then the possibility of the Hu people in the north threatening the Central Plains will be less, and the commercial roads on the grassland can also be connected all the way.

That big water itself can be used as part of the trade route.

A group of excited young people dispersed, Liu Xie asked Yuan Shu to sit closer. "I didn't expect you to know so much about the situation in Mobei."

Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed. "At that time, I just listened to it. I never thought of using it to transport troops and food. I am ashamed to say it. Compared with these young people around His Majesty, I was really useless back then. But anyone who is promising and can follow the army to conquer Mobei, Rather than looting in Luoyang, it will not be reduced to today's situation."

Liu Xie laughed silently.

He looked at Yuan Shu, guessing how much he was telling the truth and how much he was telling the truth.

However, Yuan Shu is right in one point. One of the best ways to solve the population pressure is to expand abroad. The big man 20 years ago had the strength to expand abroad, but the big man who was bound by Confucianism not only did not have such ideas, but also did not have such ideas. aspects of motivation.

Those young people with the most knowledge and potential were either criticizing the imperial court in Taixue and being sober in the world, or they were rangers on the streets of Luoyang, taking pleasure in looting houses and houses.

"I remember you are about the same age as Cao Mengde?"

"Yes, Chen is one year older than him."

"That's not old." Liu Xie said faintly: "Although you can't command troops outside the Great Wall like him, what you have to do is by no means inferior to him. Luoyang used to be the seat of the capital, and it was the heart of a big man. If the heart is not good, people will Weak. The capital has no spirit of self-improvement and indulges in extravagance. How can the world not be chaotic. I want to conquer Jizhou, and the task of rectifying Luoyang is entrusted to you."

Yuan Shu bowed to accept the order. "The minister must do his best, and die only after death."

Liu Xie opened his mouth and glanced at Zhuge Liang who was beside him, feeling a little ridiculous.

This was supposed to be Zhuge Liang's famous saying, but it actually came out of Yuan Shu's mouth.

"Liu Jingsheng has already drawn some pictures, and I'm not very satisfied." Liu Xie restrained himself, his expression a little unhappy. "Hiding up diseases and avoiding medical treatment will only delay treatment. Covering up mistakes will not help Confucianism to reform itself. After you go to Luoyang, check again to make sure that there is no omission."

"Wei." A burst of cold sweat broke out on Yuan Shu's back.

Although he spoke righteously in front of Yuan Quan, he is a child of a family after all, and he has lived in Luoyang for decades, how can he not know how many houses in Luoyang have exceeded the system.This needs to be revealed one by one and drawn into a picture scroll, and I don't know how many people will be infamous for thousands of years.

Even if the Yuan family in Runan is not the top of all evils, it is also among the best, comparable to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other despised eunuchs.

But the matter has come to this point, he can't hide even if he wants to, so he can only bite the bullet and rush forward as he said to Chen Deng not long ago, hoping to have a chance to be a man again.

Elder brother died, Yuan Shao also died, now he is the head of the Yuan family, only he can bear this heavy responsibility.

He thought of Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and others in Yecheng, and gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, I just came back from Chen Deng's camp."

"Oh?" Liu Xie knew that Yuan Shu had gone to Liu Bei's camp, but he didn't know that he had met Chen Deng.But it's nothing, it's normal for him to go and see Chen Deng when he has nothing to do.

"I heard that Chen Deng contacted the judge and wanted to persuade the judge to surrender Xiancheng."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yuan Shu actually cared about these things?It's not like his style.

"When I saw Chen Deng, Chen Deng had just received a reply from the judge. It is said that the judge was in Ruying as a hostage and asked Chen Deng to speak. Chen Deng couldn't do it, so he asked the minister for help."

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth also twitched, he put down the paperwork in his hand, and rubbed his hands together.

"So, you also come to persuade me to make peace?"

Yuan Shu shook his head. "No, I just reported this matter to His Majesty, and did not intend to persuade Your Majesty to negotiate a peace. On the contrary, I hope that Your Majesty will never negotiate a peace, unless the trial and commissioning is tied up. A rebellious minister is not qualified to negotiate a peace with Your Majesty."

Liu Xie sized Yuan Shu up, then smiled and said, "What about the Ruying people in the city?"

"They deserved their crimes, and they deserved their death." Yuan Shu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, if it wasn't for your Majesty's heroism, who turned the mansion into a slump and made Yuan Shao conquer the world, would these people let your majesty go? Maybe they would keep their relatives and friends old , but may not say a good word for His Majesty."

Liu Xie smiled and nodded, indicating that Yuan Shu could resign.

Although Yuan Shu's words were very cryptic, he still understood Yuan Shu's implication.Let them go if you have the chance.

There are many people in Ruying, and there are not a few people who want to save them.If you don't give any face, the enmity will deepen, and there will inevitably be rifts between the monarch and his ministers.

In fact, without Yuan Shu's reminder, he had already realized this.

Zhong Yao did not move, and no soldiers from Shangdang County have entered Jizhou so far.

Xun You was in Youzhou and had not crossed the state boundary for a long time.

Xun Yu didn't express any opinions, but his elder brother Xun Chen was running around, trying to promote the conversation.There have been articles discussing the situation in Jizhou in the Mansion newspaper. Although they are scolding the judge for being insane, the target is directed at him, the emperor.

If he refused to negotiate with the judge and forced the judge to kill all the Ruying people, wouldn't he be as mad as the judge?

But he wasn't going to give any response.

If you want to negotiate, you can, and the trial and distribution will surrender unconditionally, otherwise there will be no negotiation.

He doesn't care about the life and death of those Ruying people, but Jizhou's implementation of Dutian must be expanded, and it must be thorough, without any bargaining.

Anyway, they are not qualified to bargain.

As early as the beginning of the dispatch of troops, he had sufficient psychological preparations, knowing that this would be a protracted war, and made sufficient material preparations.

Zhong Yao will not come, Xun You will not come, and there will be the Northern Army commanded by Shi Sun Rui.Even if Shi Sun Rui didn't come, he could still use up the [-] troops he had at hand to kill him.

These [-] troops are all from Bingliang, Guanzhong, and Hedong, and have nothing to do with the family.

If necessary, he can also recruit troops from Guanzhong and Liangzhou, 6 or [-] people are trivial.

Without the support of the Ruying people, would I not be able to take down Yecheng or Jizhou?

You guys are really overthinking and taking yourself too seriously.

Liu Xie sat in the tent for a while and asked Zhuge Liang, "Where is Sun Ce?"

Zhuge Liang replied in response: "The latest news received yesterday is that he has arrived in the plain. It's just that the river is shallow and the warships can't go up for the time being, which affects the march of troops."

"Decree, let him not come to Yecheng for the time being, and take Bohai first."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang responded, spread out a pen and paper, and prepared to draw up an imperial edict. "Do you want to pass on the letter to Sangong and adjust Sun Ce's official position?"

"Not for the time being, just follow the military orders. In addition, please invite Yu Jijiu to arrange some people to go to Bohai Sea to practice war and assist Sun Ce."

Chapter 883

A fast horse rushed into the camp in the north of Yishui.

Simpi, who was paying close attention to the situation, received the news immediately and rushed to Xun You's Chinese army camp.

Xun You glanced at him and handed over the document in his hand.

Simpi was also not polite, took a look, and immediately changed his face.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

Xun You smiled wryly: "What's the point? Without us, the Son of Heaven would still be able to win Jizhou. There are too many people who want to make contributions."

Simpi's face was pale, and he sat down on the mat.

Having lived in Xun You's camp for so long, he naturally knew that Xun You was talking about not only Sun Ce, but also Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Xian Yuyin and other Youzhou people.

They are all looking forward to making contributions, and they are unwilling to wait here and delay the battle.The reason why he didn't say it was because Xun You was powerful, and few people dared to question Xun You's decision face to face.

But if Sun Ce made the first move, and after capturing Bohai, then entered Hejian and took the credit that should belong to them, that would be two different things.

"So, our relatives in Ye City are definitely dead?"

"It's hard to say now, but if you force the emperor again, you will be doomed." Xun You got up, walked in front of Simpi, took the letter from him, and folded it carefully. "The Son of Heaven is as gentle as jade, which doesn't mean he's easy to control. He can be lenient on small things. When it comes to the fundamental matters of the court, he won't give up a single step. He will kill anyone who stands in the way."

He paused, then said, "It doesn't matter who it is."

Simpi raised his head, glanced at Xun You, hesitated to speak.

He knew that Xun You's family was not in Yecheng, and Xun You's family had also moved away, so he had nothing to worry about.They can plead with the emperor for the sake of their relatives and friends, but once the emperor expresses his attitude, they will not lose their future and fight against the emperor to the end.

This is their own choice, and the consequences will naturally be borne by themselves. There is no reason to force Xun Yu and Xun You to put all their eggs in one basket.

"What should I do?" Simpi was useless.

His family members are all in Yecheng.

"The imperial court can't count on it, so we can only find a way by ourselves." Xun You patted Simpi on the shoulder. "No matter how strong the judge is, he doesn't want to burn everything. Tell him that if he kills the hostages, we will uproot the Yin'an Shen clan. If the emperor doesn't punish his three clans, we will punish him. If the emperor punishes his three clans, we will punish him Nine Clans, guarantee that the blood debt of every Ruying people will be paid in blood."

Simpi gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

Now it seems that there is only this way.

"Zhang He is from Hejian, let's start with him."

-

Xun You quickly summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

The spring plowing is coming to an end, and it is time to march into Jizhou.

The task of the first stage is to take all of Hejian and advance the front to the Guanjin area in Anping.Before the autumn harvest, the north of Jieqiao should be included in the bag, so as to prepare for the decisive battle after autumn.
