Han Dao world

Chapter 275 Brainstorming

The four monarchs and ministers got together and discussed a plan.

If Liu Xie's mental age is not included, their average age is only eighteen years old.

Yang Xiu is relatively familiar with the lieutenant generals.He first proposed that the scope of consultation should be determined to be the Bingzhou knights led by Zhang Yang and the newly surrendered Liangzhou veterans.

Zhang Yang once fought with Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and has direct experience of the situation in northern Xinjiang.Most of the Bingzhou knights he recruited were from Yanmen and Yunzhong, and they were very familiar with the terrain in Meiji.

Many Liangzhou veterans fought with Dong Zhuo in northern Xinjiang, and some even fought with Duan Jiong in the Eastern Qiang. They have impressions of the Huns and Xiutu tribes.Some of the knights under Zhang Xiu also fought with Zhang Ji in the north, so they should be able to provide some information.

When time is tight, it is possible to improve efficiency by asking the person who is most likely to provide information first.

Liu Xie felt that Yang Xiu's suggestion was good, so he handed over the matter to him.

He also reminded Yang Xiu that the battle against Xiu Tuge was just in case.He will not take the initiative to go to the Northland to find Xiu Tuge.Unless Xiutu rushed to Meiji, the two sides would have the possibility of contact.

The top priority is the topography of the Meiji area.

Yang Xiu understood, turned around and left.

Immediately, Liu Xie sent people to recruit Xiaoqi general Zhang Yang and Habayashi Zhonglang to question Zhang Xiu.

Yu Linying was on the side, and Zhang Xiu came the fastest.

When Liu Xiegang opened his mouth to explain the situation, Zhang Xiu smiled with disdain on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Huns are bragging. They are not capable of suppressing the rebellion themselves, and they are afraid that His Majesty will stay in the United States, so they deliberately exaggerate the matter."

Liu Xie was noncommittal, and motioned Zhang Xiu to speak more carefully.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhang Xiu, it's that Zhang Xiu didn't show much strategic and tactical vision before.In his eyes, Zhang Xiu is the standard brave and foolhardy, and young and energetic, bent on meritorious service, even a little eager for quick success.

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 [-]nd 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.
