Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 535 Kansai's Hidden Worry

An extremely gorgeous dagger with seven gemstones of different brilliance inlaid on the hilt fell vertically on the simulation map of the sand table.Liu Xie looked at the slightly trembling knife handle, and also nodded slightly: "Yes, it is here, Liangzhou Beidi!"

Xun You stared solemnly at the place where the seven-star sword was pierced, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.Beidi County is a famous county on the Loess Plateau. Due to the food, pool salt, and water and grass resources that can be used for grazing, it has become a treasure land coveted by northern nomads.The fierce nomadic cavalry came wrapped in yellow sand like a hurricane.After looting, it returned to the north of the desert like a whirlwind and disappeared without a trace.

After Qin unified China, he built the courtyard wall of the Great Wall to the north of Hetao, built the Qin Canal, diverted water from the Yellow River for irrigation, and stationed troops for reclamation.In the Western Han Dynasty, Hanyan Canal and Hanbo Canal were rebuilt, and 70 people immigrated here to reclaim wasteland and farmland.The purpose is not only to increase the amount of state-owned arable land, but more importantly, to allow Han people to reproduce in this sparsely populated place.

But now, with the decline of the Han Dynasty, the different ethnic groups in the north have long been like wolves with a keen sense of smell, smelling the smell of sick tigers and weakness, and aggressively marched into the fat land in Tutu, making Beidi County a chaotic place where Han and ethnic minorities live together.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being stupid. Why did you send Ma Chao to Beidi? Could there be some mystery behind it?" Xun You carefully thought about the landscape and culture of Beidi County, but still didn't understand why Liu Xie made such a sudden decision.

"There should be no mystery, but there is a hen." Liu Xie smiled bitterly, with a hint of hesitation in his expression, handed Xun You a memorial and said, "This is a letter from the Xiongnu Shanyu Liu Bao to me recently." Biao, it is still an old story, and I want the Han court to uphold justice for the Xiongnu and help him regain the power of the Xiongnu."

The grievances and grievances between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu can be traced back to the time when the Han Dynasty had not yet been established.Then a talented and bold Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was born, which reversed the situation of the grandson of the Han Dynasty and the grandfather of the Huns. Since then, the Han Dynasty has basically been in a dominant position over the Huns.By the time Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty split the Xiongnu into the north and the south, the southern Xiongnu had already been regarded as a fallen phoenix, not as good as a chicken.

The Southern Huns who were attached to the Han Dynasty were placed in the Hetao area by the Han Dynasty.With the help of the military power of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were defeated many times, and a large number of surrenders were accepted, which greatly increased their power.However, due to the complex composition of the tribe, it was difficult to control and control, resulting in hidden internal affairs and occasional rebellions, and many Nandanyu were killed.Later, the Han Dynasty's management of the Southern Huns became more and more stringent. After the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nan Danyu was repeatedly arrested, replaced, forced to death or even killed by Han officials.

In [-], during the transitional period between the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, the land of the Han Dynasty was in turmoil.In order to fight against Zhang Chun and Xianbei's rebellion, Han sent troops to the Southern Huns, and Yu Fuluo sent troops to aid Han as the commander.However, due to the repeated sending of troops to aid the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu tribe became dissatisfied, fearing that the Han Dynasty would continue to recruit soldiers, so large-scale internal strife broke out in the southern Xiongnu.Killed Yu Fuluo's father, Qiangqu Shanyu, and made Xu Bugudu Hou the new Shanyu.

After Yu Fuluo heard the news, he also established himself as Shan Yu in Han, and led a group of people to Han to appeal his grievances.Unfortunately, Emperor Han Ling was seriously ill at that time, and the Han court had no time to take care of such trivial matters, but ordered Yu Fuluo not to return to his hometown.Afterwards, Xubu Guduhou was also killed, and the Han court suspended the position of Shan Yu, and let the old king of the Southern Huns manage the Southern Huns.

This kind of plot, no matter how you look at it, is the rhythm of Yu Fuluo set by the Han Dynasty.So after Liu Xie initially took control of the power, he began to repair the relationship with Yu Fuluo, took it for his own use, and promised to help Fuluo restore the country.It is a pity that Yu Fuluo was killed by an arrow later. After his son Liu Bao succeeded to the throne, he still did not counterattack and returned to the old land of the Huns.

But now most of the Southern Huns tribes have migrated to a county in the Northland.When Liu Bao said that he wanted to regain the power of the Huns, he meant to send troops to the north.When the matter came to this point, Liu Xie would not ignore it no matter what. Therefore, when he was overwhelmed, he had the lazy idea of ​​combining two things into one.

"Your Majesty's intention is to ask Ma Mengqi to borrow Liu Bao, a hen, to lay eggs, replenish supplies, and ask him to help the Han family fight against Han Sui?" Xun You understood a little at this time, but no matter how he thought about it, he still felt this matter It's a little ridiculous.

"It could also be that Liu Bao borrowed Ma Chao's hen to help him regain the power of the Huns. I still don't believe that if Ma Chao fled to Beidi County, Han Sui would dare to chase after him." Liu Xie tapped the gold wire In Nanmu's case, he uttered such rascal words helplessly, and at the end he did not forget to ask Jia Xu for advice: "Old fox, do you think this can be done?"

"Young people always like to try to show themselves to be strong. Sometimes, it is not necessarily what he really wants to achieve. As long as others think he is very courageous, it is enough." Jia Xu never said anything To be straightforward, beating around the bush, and evasive, but everyone present understands.

After all, Liu Bao's succession to Shan Yu's position is still young and his foundation is not stable.The reason why he repeatedly wrote to ask to attack the former Huns was not necessarily because he was sincere, but more because, as Jia Xu said, the people in the tribe felt that he was very courageous.If at this time, the emperor's confidant loves to drive Xiliang Jinma Chao to the Northland, it will be a great encouragement to Liu Bao.From this point of view, Liu Xie's lazy idea is very feasible.

"Another reason is that the Northland is only a few days away from Chang'an. No matter whether the imperial court sends troops to rescue or a decisive battle, it is much more convenient than going west to conquer Han Sui. This is also a lazy strategy that I came up with after thinking hard." Liu Xie spread his hands, facing these first-class advisers in front of him, unlike Jia Xu, he has always been very honest.

"I know that since your majesty has come up with this strategy, there must be a way to make Ma Mengqi arrive safely in the north. If so, the Han Dynasty only needs to prepare military supplies, go west to Fufeng, and defeat Zhang Lu's rebels. Han Sui seems to be coming It's raging, but it's actually rootless duckweed, if Zhang Lu is defeated here, Han Sui will definitely die and return."

Xun You's strategy generally has no major flaws.Han Sui did make a comeback this time, and the momentum seemed to be stronger than last time.But he has a congenital defect, that is, plagiarism and invasion are okay, but he doesn't have that deep background when he really occupies the city and expands the land.

In fact, he himself knew that this time was just an opportunity for Zhang Lu to rebel, and he came to Guanzhong to refresh his presence.It is of course best for him to be able to kill Ma Chao; if he can't, facing the heavily guarded and impenetrable situation in Liangzhou's cities, unless he is crazy, he will never use a group of newly recruited mobs to fight against the Han Dynasty. Fight to the death.

But in the face of such a seemingly perfect solution to the dilemma, Liu Xie was still not happy at all.He clearly knew that Xun You was a master tactician. Although he was better than first-rate strategists in dealing with big strategies, he was not the kind of person who made overall plans and took care of everything.From this, he looked at Zhong Yao, who had been silent all the time, and said, "Yuan Chang, if you have any concerns, you should speak up, it will be very uncomfortable to hold it in your heart."

Zhong Yao seemed to have lost a lot of weight at this time, and his spirit was not very good, but after hearing Liu Xie's ridicule, he still reluctantly responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am naturally worried. Han Sui's soldiers and horses are all cavalry who come and go like the wind. Ma Mengqi also knows this, so he went to a desolate place where there are no people. The purpose is to prevent Han Sui from plundering Guanzhong. Now Han Sui knows the world When I come back, I will definitely not be blinded by Ma Mengqi alone..."

"Yuan Chang's words are my worries." Liu Xie rubbed his temples in pain. What Zhong Yao said was right. What he was most worried about was that Han Sui would suddenly play tricks: when he couldn't get away earlier , Han Sui will naturally put all his energy on Ma Chao, but now that he knows that the Han Dynasty will inevitably return to the west, how will he deal with it?

Knowing that a fight may not necessarily win, and the gain may not be worth the loss, the best way is naturally to take advantage and leave quickly.Of course, Han Sui could not break through some important towns in Liangzhou and Kansai, but the most advantageous point for the cavalry was that they could bypass these important cities, and in the vast expanse of the land of the Han Dynasty, in all states other than the major cities Counties and villages were burned, killed and plundered at will, without any scruples, until a hell on earth was left behind, and his Iron Qiang League returned with full rewards!

It's not that Han Sui has never done this kind of thing, on the contrary, he is more proficient in doing it than anyone else.During the Yellow Turban Rebellion until now, Han Sui has almost always been like this.But now, Liu Xie, who is the Son of Heaven, will undoubtedly never allow such a tragedy to happen again!
So, how can Han Sui not be able to fulfill his wish?
