Chapter 294 I'm not dead yet

If Han Sui, who was leading his Qiang and Han troops to set fire in the Guanzhong area at this time, he knew that the Han Emperor Liu Xie had inexplicably thought that he wanted to attack Luoyang and attack Huanglong, and he did not hesitate to personally order the Xudu court to ask Cao Cao and Liu Bei to join forces to find a way to deal with him, he would definitely be flattered. He might be so excited that he could pee his pants.

In fact, his target is really just as Xun Yue guessed, it is the horse farm in Guanzhong. He plans to kill, steal some horses, set fire in the spring breeze, and try to burn more grass, burn a little plank roads, bridges, etc.

Is it normal to have spring plowing? This kind of strategy of exhausting the enemy is normal? Everyone knows that the court is short of food and has no spare energy. When the next wave of autumn harvest and accumulates its strength in a few years, it will be difficult to fight. They all want to take advantage of this last opportunity to harass a small wave and take advantage of it.

For example, Sun Ce from Jingnan also sent the number one general Zhou Yu to lead troops to plunder the population of Wuling (the court did not know that Sun Ce had already gone to Jiaozhou). For example, Sun Quan from Yangzhou also tried to send naval troops to harass Jiangxia and tried his best to burn the ships of the Han army. Of course, most of them were fishing boats. Even Yuan Shang from Jizhou, after watching Zhang Liao and others march into the central Jizhou with a confused look on his face, he also began to send troops to relocate the population.

This is a very normal thing, war, these are small-scale and normal things. In fact, after the military information from these places was sent to Xudu, the emperor was far away in Luoyang, and the military power had given him the truth. Unless there was a big urgent matter of 100,000 yuan, Cao Cao did not report the military information from these places to him at all.

Since the military situation in Guanzhong is from west to east, it must be passed by Luoyang. You said you have passed by Luoyang, and Guanzhong is not far from Luoyang, so it is indeed not appropriate not to report it.

But the result depends on this situation and how did we fight against Han Sui?

The imperial court has no money and food to launch a decisive battle now! Besides, the decisive battle should not be fought first. Isn’t this annoying for myself?

In fact, everyone in the court felt that Liu Xie would definitely unify the world, but at the same time everyone felt that Han Sui would definitely be the one to deal with.

Even a large number of court officials still held the old mainstream idea of ​​the Eastern Han Dynasty, thinking that Liangzhou would be thrown away, it would be fine. Then Han Sui is a dung beetle, why are you taking care of him? He is disgusting and dirty.

After all, Liangzhou has never stopped during the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. In the past 100 years, there was almost a small chaos every three years and a big rebellion every five years. Every twenty years or so, there will definitely be a turbulent rebellion. The imperial court occupied Liangzhou, which not only did not have any actual benefits, but it really had to pay a lot of money every year for the reasons of Liangzhou.

The big Liangzhou (basically equivalent to the entire Gansu), when the population census was under 500,000 during the reign of Emperor Huan, the population was only over one million, and it was even much smaller than the population of Runan County. It can be imagined that even the mainland powerful people felt that the oil and water in this place had been squeezed out, and there was not even much basic population for them to steal.

Then you say that over the past hundred years, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty had all the strength to fight the Liangzhou rebels. Did they win or lose? It seemed that they had won more than they lost, but if they really won more than they lost, why did they always have the ability to rebel?

So to a certain extent, Han Sui was indeed the most difficult one among the princes today. In fact, he failed to occupy the entire Liangzhou. He could only be said to be the largest group of Liangzhou warlords, similar to the leader of the alliance, and he himself did not serve as the leader of the alliance. After retreating from Guanzhong to Liangzhou, he took the initiative to abdicate and gave way to the wise, and elected Fu Gan, the Han sect, to be the governor of Liangzhou.

But Han Sui was the most confident in facing the court. After all, the nature of him, a prince, was essentially a rebellion in Liangzhou. Everyone had fought for more than a hundred years. For various objective reasons, the court never could destroy them.

You should know that the old man had not yet split. Although the emperor now seems to have a revival, he only has half a man in his hands.

In fact, even the important military officials such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei were completely confused when they learned that the emperor sent troops to attack Han Sui, and they really couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

The established strategy of the court has always been to deal with Sun Ce and Yuan Shang first. Not only did they have a good foundation, but the areas they occupied may also pose a strategic threat to the court. In fact, their strategic interests in Liangzhou conflict with Lu Bu who occupied Yizhou.

Why are you trying to hit him? Wouldn't it be nice to find a way to make Lu Bu and Han Sui bite the dog?

So the court officials naturally gathered together to make up for it, but this time, even the top brains of the era, could not make up for it for a while.

If it was just to drive Han Sui away, then it would obviously be very unnecessary to do this. Although the current guards of Liangzhou are a group of surrendered generals led by Ma Xiu's troops, these people can still be trusted under Jia Xu's training. Moreover, they were not from Liangzhou, and they also distributed fields to them in Guanzhong as units of soldiers, and the army was mixed with a lot of sand. In addition, Han Sui killed the Ma family before leaving, so it was obvious that these people could not be able to join the bandits such as Han Sui and Xiliang again.

I dare not say that I defeated Han Sui, but the problem of driving Han Sui away is really not a big deal. At most, Han Sui can take a little advantage, and there is no need for the emperor to personally lead the army.

But if Han Sui was destroyed or even unified Liangzhou, it would be a bit nonsense. As long as Han Sui was not confused, he would definitely turn around and run away when he heard the news that the emperor was in charge of the army.

To be honest, Han Sui is going to run away, so it is not easy to catch up. What's next? Will he advance to Liangzhou and compete with Han Sui for territory? The emperor must have been sick and very ill.

You should know that the reason why Liangzhou rebelled for a long time was not because Liangzhou had dangerous mountains and rivers, but because it was vast and sparsely populated, and it was not as long and deep as the Central Plains region, which could help the army transport food and grass. The war cost of the labor expedition was extremely high. Han Sui's purpose was nothing more than to destroy the roads to make the war cost of the court more expensive, and to set fire to the court's horses and political parties. If he could steal some foals or other property, it would be the best of both worlds.

To conquer Liangzhou, or to personally lead the imperial army?

The court has no money or food left! If the army sets in motion, it will not require the two sides to fight or waste it. It will also cost the court, which has actually seen the bottom of the grain warehouse. The prosperous era that has finally been waiting for will be shattered.

Besides, it is still the time when spring plowing is about to be plowed. During the spring plowing period, it is still fighting Liangzhou, or the court has no surplus grain. Well... This is what the plan of the gods and ghosts today has always liked to hide and not tell them to maintain their unpredictable ruling power. If it is replaced by the Emperor of Spirit, just look at whether the ministers scold him or not.

So, when Liu Xie was already confused about the abdication, and because he mistakenly thought that Han Sui was here to beat him, or perhaps he had some anxiety and fear when he came to beat him, it was rare that when he directly sent an imperial edict to Xu Du in a very urgent manner, he asked them to find a way to save him, these important officials of Xu Du were actually unmoved because they really couldn't figure out Liu Xie's profound meaning?

Xun Yue, Liu Ye, Zhang Xiu and other important officials could see that Xu Du really couldn't figure out anything. He didn't dare to act blindly because the court was already short of money and was afraid of doing too much and making mistakes.

But in Liu Xie's opinion, do you... don't take my life seriously?

I'm just moving to Luoyang for the time being! I'm not dead yet!
