Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 173 Pass to the temple
Luoyang, the imperial palace

The little fat man read the memorial in front of him, his face gradually turned black, and his whole body trembled slightly. Song Dian stood aside, terrified, lowered his head, and stepped back a few steps, not daring to disturb him. After reading the memorial in a hurry, the little fat man was furious He slammed the memorial to the ground, his face was red, and he roared angrily: "I want to cut off the dog's head of Tan Shihuai myself!!"

Song Dian said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't get so angry."

The little fat man sat on the top seat, with tears in his eyes, and his heart ached. He sat there for a while, then looked at Song Dian, and ordered: "Come here in a hurry, I want to call a court meeting!"

Only then did Song Dian cautiously go out. The little fat man sat alone in the main hall, feeling extremely sad in his heart, but he was thinking about Duan Xie's memorial to seize the grassland outside the Great Wall and expand the territory. Duan Xie actually had the confidence to expand the territory Soil, it shows that he is obviously capable of defeating Xianbei's remaining forces, but the question is whether it is worthwhile to conquer this area.

If this piece of land cannot be reclaimed and cultivated, and it costs a lot of money from the imperial court to maintain it every year, and it also needs to station troops to guard the border, then the loss outweighs the gain. He also wanted to support Duan Xie in taking this area, and he still needed to negotiate with his ministers.

When all the officials arrived at the main hall slowly, they all felt the strange atmosphere in the palace. The little yellow gatemen trembled in fright. Even Song Dian, the most powerful eunuch in the palace, had a stern expression on his face. The ministers guessed in their hearts , probably related to the frontier battle, could it be that the Han army was defeated?If it is defeated, it would be too terrible. Duan Yan leads the most elite troops of the big man!

The ministers were speculating and communicating in a low voice, and the little fat man walked in angrily. As he walked, he was full of the majesty of the superior, and the courtiers got up one after another, waiting for the emperor to take his seat. , just sat down again, Yuan Ping got up, stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, the villain Wang Fu has acted recklessly with the master of ceremonies in Yangzhou, making the people of Yangzhou miserable and mourning everywhere!"

"Your Majesty! Please cook the King's Day letter!!"

"Your Majesty!!! Please cook the King's Day letter!!"

The little fat man waved his hand impatiently, and said, "I see, all right, let's start the court discussion directly!"

The ministers took their seats again, and only then did the real court discussion begin.

"You guys take this memorial and have a look!!", the little fat man ordered Xun You of the Yellow Gate to hand over the memorial to the courtiers below. Love, even this memorial was copied by Xun You himself, and Xun You distributed it to many courtiers. He Xiu took a copy, read it for a while, and then threw it on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Please allow me to rush to Liangzhou!!!" He Xiu gritted his teeth and said.

"Master He, the Xianbei people have already been defeated, and Tanshihuai will be sent to the capital in a few days." The little fat man was talking, when suddenly, He Xiu's body swayed, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and he fell backwards, the little fat man Jumped up and rushed over, Xun You was still closer to him, saw He Xiu fell to the ground, and immediately supported him, the little fat man hurried to his side and supported him.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm leaving too." He Xiu murmured. He looked at the surrounding officials sadly. Among the officials, there was no one of his own generation. He was extremely lonely. The little fat man looked anxious. Song Dian He even called the imperial physician order immediately, who came in a hurry, inspected for a while, and all the ministers looked at it anxiously, the imperial physician order looked at it for a while, and said: "I am short of breath, I need to rest!"

"Master He, don't be angry, I will definitely cut the sandalwood tree into pieces as a sacrifice to the soul of Mr. Zhang, so that he can recuperate, so that he can recuperate." The little fat man said, He Xiu fell to the ground, making him terrified, he lost his mother, The old Taiwei, Mr. Zhang, uncle, now, only in the face of He Xiu can he speak freely, without concealing it, he has only one Master He left, and the fat man immediately ordered Habayashiro to take Master He back to rest.

After seeing Master He off, the little fat man seemed a little worried.

The officials also cried bitterly, expressing their condolences to Mr. Zhang, and then they began to discuss Mr. Zhang's funeral, seals and so on. The little fat man sighed sadly and said: "We will discuss these matters after the war is over." , Duan Jun played, to capture the Xianbei land, what do you think?" The western Xianbei land is the Helan Mountain area, also known as Alxa.

The central part is called Xinqinzhong, and the eastern part is called Shengle, which is the hometown of the Huns.

After discussing for a while, Yuan Feng got up and said, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of wild animals in the Helan Mountain area, so they raise cattle and horses, and I heard that there are many precious medicinal materials. Wuwei County and others have already included the entire Helan Mountain area, which can be used for farming. In the new Qin Dynasty, there are a lot of stone materials and wool. The Xianbei people use this to trade with the Han border for profit. Useful."

"The land of Shengle is not connected to other places, but there are rivers distributed. If it is reclaimed and cultivated, it may not be impossible to add [-] hectares of cultivated land for the great man!"

"And if we occupy these terrains and establish prefectures and counties, we can connect Liangzhou and Youbin prefectures in the Western Regions, and build a fast road. The border of the Han Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai, and we will not be afraid of foreign lands for hundreds of years!" After Yuan Feng finished speaking, he retreated slowly. Next, when the officials heard it, they felt that there was some truth in it, so they nodded, a little moved, and the little fat man listened for a while, and felt that Duan Xi's proposal was feasible!
Most of the ministers in the DPRK and China agree that the Han people love military exploits and expand their territory. If they can open up mountains and rivers for their descendants, will they not be admired by all generations in the future?They were all excited, but Yuan Ping hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have to play!"

The little fat man nodded, motioning for Yuan Ping to continue.

"The land of the frontier has always been unfavorable to farming. If you occupy this place, you will have to relocate the people, which will cost a lot of money. And there is no natural danger here. To resist foreign enemies, you have to use the elite of the big men to defend the border. If this is the case for a long time, how can it be beneficial to the big man? If it is for some wool and stone materials to raise livestock, the big man is required to focus on outside the Great Wall, wouldn't it be for the sake of small profits at the expense of big profits, I secretly think it is impossible!"

The little fat man also listened carefully, turned his head, and looked at Wen Renxi, who immediately lowered his head and said nothing, the little fat man ordered another discussion, and sent a large number of famous imperial physicians to Liangzhou to treat the plague. Yuan Feng negotiated with the ministers to find officials, large and small, who could stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, and went to assess Liangzhou. After dealing with these matters, the little fat man returned to the hall.

"Gongda, what do you think of today's events?"

asked the little fat man.

Xun You thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the enemies outside the Great Wall, no matter the Huns, are not to be feared. Only Xianbei is the most powerful. Even if they are defeated this time, there are still hundreds of thousands of people. Soon these people, He is also good at riding and shooting. Since General Duan is confident that he can occupy the land of Xianbei, it means that Xianbei is at its weakest point. If we take advantage of this opportunity to completely drive Xianbei out of the Han frontier and occupy the old place, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, if Xianbei is completely eradicated, but the old land is not recovered, and the Xiongnu, Dingling, and even Wuhuan people come to occupy it, wouldn't it create another Xianbei? And if we open up the wilderness for farming, let the people settle down and work hard, Tens of years later, this place will belong to the big man, even if he is not rich, it can also save the big man from the disaster of the frontier fortress and benefit future generations, so why not do it, Your Majesty?"
