The day after the meeting, almost all the generals left Chang'an. Except for Lu Su and Chen Dao who were in charge of Chang'an, Zhang Ren was sent to Luoyang, and the chiefs of other counties and counties were also dispatched from Chengdu. As for the captains of each group of counties, they were selected from the young backbones of the army, and they were asked to recruit and train the guards of each county on the spot. Lu Su expressed that he was very troubled by Liu Xie's "irresponsible" behavior of leaving everything to himself. But the only blame is that he previously proposed a plan for Liu Xie to move the capital to Chang'an and build Luoyang, but Liu Xie was left to take charge of the overall situation. Regarding this, Lu Su couldn't say that Liu Xie didn't value him and actually left him in the rear area or something. Because he valued it too much, he was left to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, in Chengdu, he can allocate manpower at will, and the Chamber of Commerce and Trade will cooperate with his plan. As for rebuilding Luoyang, Liu Xie also had an overall plan. Lu Su just took charge of the overall situation here and acted according to the plan. Anyway, those aristocratic families will definitely take the initiative to provide the money to rebuild Luoyang. As long as Liu Xie proposes to rebuild Luoyang, I believe those aristocratic families will definitely come back, especially those profit-seeking businessmen. In this way, the construction cost can be fully recovered by selling the 'land storefront' alone. And Lu Su temporarily stayed in Chang'an to deal with the envoys sent by Lao Yuan. It is naturally possible to form an alliance with Lao Yuan, but this cannot be done too openly, let alone the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If he ran out to receive Lao Yuan's envoy, wouldn't it be too disgraceful? And wouldn¡¯t that be tantamount to acknowledging Lao Yuan¡¯s legal status in disguise? Although Lao Yuan is very powerful. He had to admit that Lao Yuan was a person, a person who could threaten him, but there was a big difference between acquiescence and indirect recognition. Therefore, the only way to receive them at this time is for the people below to come forward. And he can't be present, after all, Lao Yuan is not here to lower the table. As for the pass issues around Luoyang, Liu Xie had long thought that Lao Cao would not give up easily. But it doesn't matter, as long as they don't join forces. Of course, even if they join forces, Liu Xie is not worried. The worst case scenario is to return to Yizhou. When they really get going, don't blame him for poking their assholes. Could it be that they will join forces to invade Yizhou together? Liu Xie is not worried about this at all. It is too easy to alienate allies, especially allies like Lao Yuan and Lao Cao. not to mention. He built Luoyang. Then he led his troops to attack the Western Regions. Doesn't this just give them a signal that he has no intention of intervening in the war between them. No time to intervene! The Western Region has not been recovered yet! Of course, they would never have thought that Liu Xie's ultimate goal was to go around Lao Yuan's back and stab him in the ass. When they were almost done fighting, they could still take advantage of Lao Cao. If possible, attacking Lao Cao in one go would not be a problem. Regarding the plan proposed by Liu Xie, the big bosses of the three military aircraft departments were secretly disappointed at first because the plan was too huge. To realize this possibility, according to Liu Xie's plan, he must first recover the Western Regions, then invade Xianbei in the north from the Western Regions, and then circle around and come to the back of Youbin Province You must know that this is a long-term operation! What about supplies? Lu Su, an honest man, would naturally not think of such a 'cruel' method of supporting war through war. But Jia Xu, an old poisoner, easily figured out what Liu Xie wanted to do. However, Liu Xie had to say that Jia Xu was so poisonous that it made people run cold all over. He felt that if the method of supporting war was to support war, it would be better not to keep those prisoners, but to kill them directly. They are also foreigners anyway. Just think of them as pigs and dogs! Hearing this old guy who never talked much suddenly proposed such a "vicious" method, even Guo Jia, who looked indifferent, looked ugly, let alone Lu Su, a good old man. So he reminded Liu Xie in a very tactful way that he could not do such cruel things. Foreigners are also human beings! Jia Xu just laughed, and it was a sneer. Because in his eyes, he has seen too many cases of foreigners bullying Han people. In the eyes of foreigners, the Han people are actually pigs and dogs who can give and ask for anything. As long as they have a harvest shortage, they will plunder the Han people for sure. This is also the reason why there are always constant wars on the border. It was okay when the Han Dynasty was strong, but now that the Han Dynasty is extremely weak, those foreigners are already ready to take action. If it weren't for the fact that after Tan Shihuai's death, his son He Lian was not as intelligent as his father, and his greed and cruelty led to civil strife in Xianbei, and if several leaders attacked each other, they would have gone south to attack the Han Dynasty. In the end, Liu Xie made the final decision: "Although the foreigners are cruel and greedy, not all of them are like that. What Wen He and Zijing said is right. Therefore, I came up with an idea to support war with war and use those prisoners to fight. , as long asIf you want freedom, you have to use military merit in exchange for it. If you want a woman, you have to use military merit in return. I call it the 'Begging Army'. As for those old, weak, women and children who cannot participate in the war, let them work, paving roads from the Western Regions all the way to Chang'an As long as those people work for three years, they can be given the identity and status of Han people, and they can be dispersed and integrated The rest of the states and counties" Hearing Liu Xie's suggestion, the three military advisors' eyes shone brightly, as if they did not expect that Liu Xie would have such an idea. "This idea cannot be said to be bad, but it is very good. According to what Liu Xie once said, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Liu Xie's idea cannot but be said to be a bold attempt, but it can be tried, but the old and weak also need to spend money and food. This is a bottomless pit. However, Jia Xu sneered, "It would be normal for those old and weak people to die on the project" "" Lu Su and Guo Jia were both speechless, thinking that this old guy was really thoughtful. They are vicious! Although they are also resourceful people and sometimes their plots are quite insidious, but compared with this old guy's vicious thoughts, they are really no different from good babies, but Jia Xie is also quite speechless! Although Xu's words were vicious, they were actually for the sake of the overall situation. Of course, if you think about the history of foreign invasions in the past or in history, Liu Xie didn't feel that they were vicious. In the end, everyone agreed with Liu Xie. Later, Liu Xie made some arrangements and left Lu Su in Chang'an to receive the envoys. By the way, he was asked to take care of Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu was not needed to participate in the war for the time being. It was necessary to let him do the logistics. It is better than fighting. Anyway, Liu Xie has no shortage of military advisors now, and the Western Expedition does not need that many military advisors. Moreover, thinking about the powerful generals under his command, Liu Xie is somewhat looking forward to letting these powerful generals lead him. What would it be like to ride across the desert with his subordinates? Unfortunately, this time, he did not plan to go out with the army, because he had to return to Chengdu to attract other people's attention to Yizhou so that it would be convenient for these fierce men under his command. As for going to Xiliang, he naturally accepted the surrender of Ma and Han, and took them to settle in Chengdu, because he wanted to make Lao Yuan and Lao Cao feel free to fight. The alliance had to be temporarily suspended. The public statement was that Chang'an was in ruins, Luoyang needed to be rebuilt, the Western Regions needed to be recovered, money and food were tight, and there was no ability to move the capital for the time being. This would also reassure Lao Yuan and Lao Cao. Look, I will fight. The Western Region is over, and I have no ability to intervene in your affairs. You can rest assured to fight! After you finish fighting, I will take back the Western Region, and then rebuilding the Western Region will require a large investment, so don¡¯t worry! One day, Liu Xie led his army to Ji County, Tianshui. As expected, Ma Teng led a group of men to greet him outside the city of Ji County. Ma Dai, Ma Chao, and Pang De were all among them, and even Ma Teng's second son was among them. His legitimate son Ma Xiu was also among them. Although it was his first time to see Ma Teng, Liu Xie had seen Ma Teng's portrait before. But when he saw such a mighty man, Liu Xie had to sigh, Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son! Only such a powerful person can give birth to a fierce man like Ma Chao! During Ma Teng¡¯s introduction, there were many Qiang leaders nearby. It turned out that they were also here to surrender. Seeing this situation, Liu Xie was even happier. These Qiang leaders are also quite cute! He was actually willing to add chips to Ma Teng. In fact, Ma Teng did not mention these Qiang leaders in his surrender, but now they have appeared. It can be explained that Ma Teng was probably afraid that Liu Xie would use the matter of the two thieves Li and Guo to pressure him, so he brought these Qiang leaders in to increase his bargaining chip for surrender. I have to say that Ma Teng played this skill beautifully. Because in this way, Liu Xie has a lot less to do. Originally, Liu Xie intended to ask Ma Chao to report the Qiang and Di people, but now it seems that he can let Ma Chao follow the Western Expedition! With this militant together, the Western Expedition would definitely be a lot of fun. Liu Xie wanted to join in the fun, but no! Liu Xie is somewhat regretful. You know, it is rare to see so many powerful generals together. Moreover, there are also a group of second- and third-rate generals following him, such as Ma Teng's eight capable generals in the original history, and later Han Sui's eight capable generals. Now they are all taken by Liu Xie to participate in the Western Expedition. It saves these people from staying idle in Guanzhong and causing more troubles. As Ma Teng went to the county government office in Hebei County, the two of them talked and laughed, as if what happened between them had never happened before. When Ma Teng saw Liu Xie's appearance, he sighed inwardly. His three sons, withCompared with this young emperor, he is really much different! Although Ma Chao is very brave, he does not know how to adapt. Although his second son Ma Xiu is more diplomatic than Ma Chao, he is not as prestigious as Ma Chao. And just as the two were talking and laughing, a scream suddenly came from them. "It's you!" (To be continued)
