It is said that the three famous bodyguards during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, all gathered under his account, but Liu Xuan himself was a guy who didn't need bodyguards. Even the Tiger Guard was only established to protect the palace.

In other words, they have a military force on hand that can be used at any time - and the other is to serve as a guard of honor.

Now it has a new role, which is to protect important people. Liu Xuan specially dispatched 500 Tiger Guards to accompany him, but neither Dian Wei nor Xu Chu sent them out. The 500 Tiger Guards were simply handed over to the old commander Zhao Yun.

This can be regarded as showing the emperor's regard for Zhao Yun.

After all, the Tiger Guard is not an ordinary army. Under normal circumstances, it will never be handed over to outsiders. Zhao Yun’s appointment is already considered an exceptional one. Everyone can see that after this trip to Nanyang, there is almost no doubt that Zhao Yun will get

Promotion——This is the last time I can be promoted to a general.

As each thing gradually became clearer, the next thing became much smoother.

Allocating troops and horses, allocating food and fodder, and then all departments in the imperial court became busy with this matter as a priority. By this time, there was only one thing left for Liu Xuan to do: wait.

Waiting for the war between Sun Ce and Liu Biao to reach a critical stage, waiting for all arrangements to be completed, and waiting for the spring to start next year.

It is the first year of the Han calendar and a new calendar is being used, so of course some symbolic events must be made.

"For example, how about taking back the world?"

Sitting on the specially prepared soft couch in the Crystal Palace, Liu Xuan looked at the women gathered around him. Er Qiao was talking to Huang Yueying. They knew each other already, so they had a good relationship.

Diao Chan sat aside, while Zhen Mi was holding a book and discussing something with Cai Yan. After hearing his words, all the girls raised their heads and looked at him.

"within one year?"

"within one year!"

Liu Xuan nodded and told the girls that they heard correctly.

None of the girls knew much about military matters. Only Zhen Mi knew a little more, and Cai Yan knew a lot of things because of her status as a queen. Although she didn't know much about it, she heard a lot.

It is inevitable that some will come to mind.

Huang Yueying simply ran around all day, and even understood Liu Xuan's next strategic plan, so several people all showed an expression: 'How is it possible?'

"If it is still possible to conquer Jiangdong, Sun Ce's army is now gathered in Jingzhou. As long as it is allowed to continue to move north, the imperial army will seize the opportunity and take advantage of the trend to go south to wipe out all Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, and then slowly clear them out just like Hebei.

The remaining troops are defeated!"

In fact, it is much more troublesome to clear out those corners in the east of the Yangtze River than in the north, because the terrain in the east of the Yangtze River is complicated. It is not uncommon for the remnant soldiers to hide in some remote place for ten or eight years after being defeated.

However, what Liu Xuan cares about is not these guys who can be classified as bandits. As long as Sun Ce's organized army and horses are defeated, then Jiangdong's separatist power will be destroyed, and the remaining families and the like will not be able to do anything.

He will continue to follow Sun Ce, but will add insult to injury very simply and neatly.

It is almost foreseeable that once Sun Ce is defeated in Jingzhou, the wealthy families in Jiangdong will definitely give Sun Ce a fatal blow in the back.

For example, he directly expressed his submission to the imperial court, and then blocked the vital point to prevent Sun Ce's army from returning to Jiangdong.

However, Liu Xuan estimated that Sun Ce would not have thought of this, not to mention that there was Zhou Yu beside him? He should have taken some preventive measures.

But that only leaves a way out for themselves, and their failure is still unavoidable.

In this way, Sun Ce's only escape route was: Liu Xuan arranged for them to let Yu Ji lead them to flee overseas, and then replace Liu Xuan as the vanguard to open up a new world - and then wait until they are almost done

Now, Liu Xuan will lead his army to pick fruits.

Of course, Sun Ce would never be able to escape. Liu Xuan could at most let Sun Quan go.

It's not that Liu Xuan hates Sun Ce, but because the dragon energy in Sun Ce cannot be missed this time. If he can't get it back this time, Sun Ce will go overseas to proclaim himself an emperor and build a country, so that the dragon energy will slow down.

If you slowly warm up and grow stronger, you will give yourself an opponent that is difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Sun Ce must die, and the dragon spirit must be recaptured.

As for Sun Quan? Maybe he can also brew his own dragon energy after the founding of the country, but it is completely incomparable with Sun Ce's - Sun Ce's one is already half-formed, Sun Quan? It is estimated that he will brew it after he founded the country.

Not even a seed.

"Moreover, although Sun Quan is better at maneuvering and governing the country than Sun Ce, he is far inferior to Sun Ce in terms of pioneering and enterprising. Having Sun Quan as the head of the family can also prevent the Sun family from developing too fast overseas!"

Taking all factors into consideration, we came to the conclusion: Sun Ce must die.

But after all, this is all Jiangdong's side. The imperial court has been preparing to attack Jiangdong in the past few years, so it is not unusual to destroy Jiangdong within a year.

But what about Nishikawa?

Huang Yueying found a box of candies out of nowhere and asked while eating: "Is it possible to use troops against Tianshi Dao at the same time?"

"why not?"

Liu Xuan shrugged his shoulders: "Now the imperial court has nearly 300,000 imperial soldiers. Although half of these soldiers are deployed in border towns and key areas, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses that can be used!"

"To deal with a Jiangdong Sun family, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are too many to use at all, so instead of leaving those soldiers and horses idle, it is better to simply destroy the Tianshi Dao... Well, no! It's expulsion

Leave the territory of the Han Dynasty!"

"Expulsion?" Zhen Mi noticed that the word used by Liu Xuan was not to eliminate, but to expel? This... Could it be that His Majesty wanted to do the same as he did with the Sun family, and wanted to drive the Tianshi Dao Zhang family to other places and let them

To explore the way for the big man?

Liu Xuan laughed, took out a map from the cabinet next to him, and put it on the bed. All the girls gathered around to see Liu Xuan pointing out the country on the map.

“It’s not that there’s nothing left to the west of the Han Dynasty!”

"Western Region?"

Cai Yan is aware of these things, but the impression of the Western Regions in her mind is not that good, and what she heard from some people is that the Western Regions are a desolate area. Because of this, although the Han Dynasty will be powerful

He penetrated deep into the territory of the Western Region, but did not really incorporate it into his own territory.

And that kind of management method also resulted in the Han Dynasty not having any foundation in the Western Regions. Once the imperial court's strength weakened and it no longer had a deterrent effect on the countries in the Western Regions, this enclave would be lost immediately.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Who said that fast place is so desolate? If you want to incorporate it into your own territory, it will take hundreds of years to do it, and there is a prerequisite for this: the weather is smooth and there will be no war.

Even without thinking deeply, you know that this is impossible. Therefore, the Han Dynasty had no control over the Western Regions decades ago. By the time of Emperor Ling, the Western Regions were no longer ruled by the Han Dynasty - even if it were not for Liu

Xuan ascended the throne, and even the northern part of Xiliang might break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan now set his sights on the Western Regions again.

"No, it's not there. If it's just the Western Region, I just need to send a large army to conquer it!"

"Where is that?" Zhen Mi had been sitting quietly aside, and she couldn't help but be curious when she heard this. But as soon as the words came out, she suddenly remembered the layout of the world that Liu Xuan told her. "Could it be...

The land in the far west? Great Qin?"

The Qin Dynasty was the Roman Empire. Liu Xuan did not remember the history of the world clearly, but the Roman Empire seemed to have begun to split. Of course, these things had nothing to do with him. What he wanted to care about was that the Roman Empire had begun to decline.

And considering my future plans, it would be good to let some people go over there to stir things up first.

"If Zhang Lu's Celestial Master Dao can be driven to Europe, we may have some unexpected surprises when we go there in the future!"

Huang Yueying casually took out an apple, took a few bites, and then felt like she was about to lie on the map.

"You want to create a cultural or religious conflict?"

Liu Xuan laughed loudly: "Not only that, there are also those from human race!"

Considering that Tianshi Dao has mastered many mysterious techniques, even if they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they will not be destroyed by those Europeans, and they are likely to occupy a piece of their own power.

After letting them operate for a period of time, those people in Europe who are closer to the yellow race (such as the descendants of the Huns who fled to Europe) will most likely be gathered together, so that when they reach Europe, they will have a ready-made forward base.

.

Of course, these are secondary. The most important reason is: he needs the Europeans to adapt to the appearance and even culture of the Orientals as soon as possible, so that when he fights over, they can avoid a lot of troublesome things.

Even to a certain extent, it can reduce the opponent's will to resist.

Maybe the European forces cannot stop themselves from unifying the world, but if the fight lasts for a long time or if those guys fight to the death with the mentality of dying together, it will always be very annoying.

In fact, Liu Xuan doesn't mind if he has more subordinates of other races. Anyway, as long as they are loyal, they are all useful.

What's more, when it comes time to colonize the universe, he will indeed need a large number of people.

After roughly speaking their thoughts, the girls all understood Liu Xuan's intentions, and for the first time, the girls also knew that the emperor had set his sights on the broader sky.

Unexpectedly, this inspired Huang Yueying's ambition: "Spaceship? This is challenging!" Although after thinking about it carefully, I found that according to the current development rate, it will take at least a thousand years to build a spaceship.

But...they don't have to worry about longevity anyway, they can build it up slowly.
