Guan Yi and others were seriously injured, but they still had no regrets to sacrifice their lives for the country. When they learned that Your Majesty was thinking, they came to the imperial camp to explain their ambitions.

The knot of grudge suddenly became clear. When Liu Chan and Jiang Wei returned to the camp again, the sky was already bright. After breakfast, the king and his ministers were still talking alone.

"Since crossing the Yellow River north, Zhe Liu Yin and others, Lu Yun died in the east, unfortunately, even if he wins nine out of ten battles, it will not be harmless to our Han Dynasty. What strategy can Bo Yue teach me?" Liu Chan asked meaningfully. If he said that the people whom the soldiers and generals from all over the court could trust, Jiang Wei would be the most suitable.

Seeing that Your Majesty had returned to his previous expression and his brows were no longer depressed, Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Old me, seeing that Your Majesty is going to extremes in using military force, one is because of the great power of the Hu people, so he is worried that he will not be eliminated suddenly. Two, he is worried that my old man and others will not have much time to serve the country?"

"Haha, I know me, and I am the one who knows me!" Liu Chan's heart is like a mirror for Jiang Wei's implicit voice. Jiang Wei and others who claim to be old ministers have not had much time. Isn't they much better at age? If other emperors were to touch the scales and their faces were furious, but this matter was a different world for Liu Chan.

As a later generation, Liu Chan always doesn't know why he was like this. Liu Chan's body is an aging body, but his spirit is only in his forties. It is unknown how long it can be used for this body. Once the body enters a state of death, will Liu Chan die?

For ordinary emperors, death is death, but for Liu Chan, he knew very well that death was Liu Chan's body, but where he went was unknown. What he was worried about was not the death of his body, but the huge country after death.

If there were no external enemies, Liu Chan was confident that the Han Dynasty would enter a new realm under the leadership of his beloved son Liu Dong. However, with foreign enemies as strong as the Huns staring at him, Liu Chan would not have enough confidence once he passed away.

The rush to pave the way for future generations is indeed Liu Chan's anxiety recently, and it is also the root cause of the extreme military movement.

"The Hu people have strong military strength, Hebei is desolate and broken, and Liu Yuan's great talent is really a big problem. Although I have helped me with my help, the Hu people's military strength is only two or three. I am afraid that this battle will be delayed and it will be difficult to obtain anything."

After hearing this, Jiang Wei nodded slightly. Even if he was not convinced of his old age, he had to admit the fact that he was old. First, Liu Yin died, and Your Majesty was eager for a hundred years. Even though he and Your Majesty were still in ambition, he could not avoid thinking about what was happening behind him.

Saying a hundred words that don’t accept old age can’t stop similar thoughts from arising.

"There are many talents in the court, and loyal people can be seen everywhere. Zhuge Zhan, Huang Chong, He Pan, Wen Yang and others can all be of great use. Why should Your Majesty be so worried?"

Liu Chan said: "I see that Zhuge Siyuan and others are enough to take on great responsibilities, but they are not as good as Liu Yuanhai. If I have any accidents, you are not here. Who can defend the frontiers for the Han Dynasty and resist foreign invaders?"

Zhuge Zhan's use of troops is not bad, but compared to Jiang Wei, Liu Yuan and others, it is still not as good as Jiang Wei, Liu Chan will be worried if Zhuge Zhan leads his army to station on the border in the future and resists the Hu cavalry. As for Huang Chong, Wen Yang and others, they may use troops stably or have excellent martial arts skills, but they are just a town and are not suitable for fighting with veteran figures like Liu Yuan.

There are no shortages of the Han army who can be the commander. Perhaps the ones who are against Liu Yuan are only Liu Chan and Jiang Wei. But both of them are about to reach their end, and Liu Yuan is about to reach fifty years, which is the time to make achievements. I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will face the threat of the Hu people in the next twenty years.

What's even more terrifying is that at this moment, both Jiang Wei and Liu Chan realized that they were not very sure of defeating the alien race in a short period of time.

The bottom line is that the enemy is too strong.

At present, the foreign infantry and cavalry active on the front line have accumulated nearly 400,000 in various places, and the Han army also has more than 300,000 troops. On the main battlefield, the Han army won more than less, but the various sub-departments were defeated by the Hu cavalry. It is precisely because of this that the main forces of the Han army have won many times, but they have gained little.

If it weren't for the Han Dynasty's naval army's response and landing everywhere on the Yellow River, it would be that the Han army would have to retreat to the Central Plains due to the situation.

Jiang Wei pondered for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly. In terms of using military force, Du Yu was both the first-class candidates. Among them, Yang Hu's wife was the daughter of Xiahouba, and she was still related to the royal family. These two were the most suitable candidates to inherit the national army, but Yang Hu and Du Yu were both over 60 years old and were in danger of peace. How could they entrust national affairs?

Lu Ji, Jiang Sheng and others have great potential, but they are still not as good as Zhuge Zhan and others, let alone hope to take over the important task of border defense of the Han Dynasty in the future.

It is true that there are talents in the army who say this. Even though there are talented people in the army, it is impossible for Liu Chan and Jiang Wei to pay attention to such a level of bottom.

"It is difficult to recover the vitality in Hebei for several years. The Hu people are clumsy in governing, and all ethnic groups are fighting openly and secretly. In the past, Cao Mengde defeated Yuan Benchu ​​and withdrew from Hebei. Why don't Your Majesty follow the example?"

"Liu Yuan is a very cunning person. Seeing that he calmly calmly pacified the outside world, while you, my monarch and ministers are trapped in the Central Plains situation and are unable to intervene. He knows that this person has the ability to integrate all ethnic groups outside the frontier. If the time is to be a big trouble, he will no longer be under the Cao Wei in the past!" Liu Chan shook his head slowly and sighed. It is really difficult to let go of his mind about future events.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei was helpless. There were many Hu cavalrymen. Even if the Han Dynasty could mobilize more troops, the outcome of the battle with them was still unpredictable.

"After that being said, it is hard to make any progress by relying on your Majesty and the Old Master. Even if the navy sails on the sea, it is probably not as good as the Hu cavalry..." At this point, Jiang Wei looked at Liu Chan. He had already made it clear that the difficulty of continuing to fight. Everything depends on His Majesty's proposal.

As long as Liu Chan has an attitude, even if the future is difficult, Jiang Boyue will not be a coward!?

...

Yinzhou, Xiangwang Mansion.

King Xiang Liu Dong had passed his twentieth year, and his wife and concubines were in large numbers and children were in pairs. However, it was a hard-pressing iron rule to start handling official duties early every morning. The officials in the mansion all knew Xiangyang's temperament and submitted official documents that needed to be processed early every morning.

"The differentiation strategy is indeed wonderful. The father's move not only won time, but also made overseas countries exhausted and internal frictions continued." After seeing the latest news from overseas, King Xiang Liu Dong sighed sincerely.

Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty started with the greed for money and property of overseas countries, and bribed consuls or people with real power in various places. Even prestigious figures among the people refused to let go. He did not hesitate to contact different groups of people with various identities. After a large amount of real money and silver was accumulated, he supported these people to establish a new mountain and seize one side. In secret, he shifted the attention of overseas countries from fighting with the Han Dynasty to civil strife, so he couldn't take care of himself.

It was a while since the southern countries were subdued by the Han Dynasty, but their foundations were insufficient in all aspects. Even if they absorbed local resources from the Han Dynasty, they could not reach the level of garrison logistics in a short period of time. Therefore, the mobilization of troops to go to the sea in Yinzhou was difficult to take shape in a short period of time.

Since we cannot attack the ambition, we can only start from within and cause trouble.

"In this way, it seems that the war is about to begin, and after the war, there are fewer pieces available for us to buy... Well..." Several maps and faces appeared in King Xiang Liu Dong's mind, and he thought about where the next moves of the Han Dynasty should be inclined.

Crowding people's hearts and expanding the ambition and strength of those who are interested are means to disrupt the local situation. However, chaos has a time limit after all, and the chaos to a certain extent will inevitably lead to a storm. Although the Han people have enough Huleque spies to live overseas to carry out intelligence collection and some work of showing up in public, they still cannot interfere in this kind of war.

One side will suffer losses when annexes the other side, but it will also absorb a large amount of resources from the losers. When the ambitioners in various places begin to decrease, will the overseas countries or the ambitioners who emerged in the end be able to benefit? No matter who it is, at that time, I am afraid that they will not be willing to let the Han Kingdom manipulate and play tricks behind the scenes...

"This dynasty will inevitably fight with overseas countries sooner or later. Before that, we must seize the time and try our best to win over allies, so as to avoid fighting alone. What do you think?" Liu Dong's eyes lit up and he went to see Qiao Deng, the close minister beside him.

Qiao Deng was the grandson of Qiao Zhou, a famous scholar in the Han Dynasty. He has been following King Xiang Liu Dong for a long time and is inseparable from him. He is a master of Qiao Deng, who is the confidant of King Xiang Liu Dong.

"Persia is strong, and Rome is even more vast. Even if the alliance between small countries in various fields is afraid it is not enough to rely on. Instead of winning over it, it is better to get along with the strong and take the weak. This is the way to deal with the world." Qiao Deng bowed his hand and said slowly.

King Xiang Liu Dong smiled knowingly and said, "Shenming's words coincide with his father. In the early days, our dynasty was threatened with force, and only violence could be used to fight violence. Now it is the best time for far-reaching and near attacks. Persia and Rome have always been in disagreement, and there are many frictions. If I unite with one side, the matter can be accomplished!"

Qiao Deng bowed calmly when he heard this, "If Your Highness has the will to rule the overseas, he should join forces with Persia and Rome, control the waterway with the sea as the main force, and strangle the throat, so that he can get the initiative."

Expansion outward was not the main idea of ​​the Han people in this era. However, after Liu Chan continued to recover southern countries on a small scale, fought in the Central Plains, and even sent naval troops across the ocean to capture Goguryeo and other places. The ministers in the court, especially the younger generation of civil and military officials, no longer felt that it was wrong to expand.

The trade routes not only bring economic returns, but also give Han subjects a real understanding of overseas and the world. Even a small country far inferior to the Han Dynasty has its advantages. Even if it is full of contempt in the eyes of the Han people, it is an interesting story or a unique culture. Once it is integrated with Han culture in the economic and cultural field, it will always be gained.

The status of governing classics and studying knowledge is still supreme, but Confucian scholars who have extensive knowledge and master foreign cultures are also very popular. Using the thought of Confucian culture to talk about the cultural situation of various countries, it not only makes people appreciate and criticize, but also has more insights.

This perception gradually became an emerging cultural element and was constantly accepted by young people. Unconsciously, the deep-seated thought has loosened, although it is still far from enough!

Qiao Deng, who has been studying overseas and the world for several years, has been an eye-opener, and King Xiang Liu Dong inherited His Majesty's uneasy thoughts, also made Qiao Deng feel inexplicably excited. The Han Dynasty had a broad vision, unparalleled economic strength, manpower and all aspects, and was also in the leading ranks of this world. Once it was devoted to the world pattern, it would inevitably bring unprecedented shock!

All this is due to Your Majesty's gradual progress. If Your Majesty had not repeatedly sent troops abroad, opened up trade routes, strongly suppressed various Confucian resistances, and dealt with various contradictions reasonably from time to time, I would have probably been the Han Dynasty at this moment.

This principle is actually very simple, but no one has opened the door to the world.

For the same items, yours are better than others, and you are a strong person. If you have stronger strength, you can surpass everyone. This is no longer rare in the Han Dynasty, but after communicating with overseas countries, the feeling is extremely strong and distinct.

King Xiang Liu laughed and looked at Qiao Deng and said, "Father also often said that the navy is the foundation of dominating the world. Only by occupying the sea can one be called a true king and make all nations surrender. Be cautious and understand that if you have this knowledge, you must have a clear idea in your heart. Why not teach me?"

Qiao Zhou still bowed and said, "How can the knowledge of the empress be compared with Your Majesty? It was because the empress led the army to chase the thieves and was left unchased by him and was not able to chase him. Later, he borrowed the picture album from Mr. Chen to read it, and then he had thoughts today."

"I also heard that Mr. Chen was obsessed with the customs of various countries and wrote books of all countries. I guess he had a lot of collections. If I had the opportunity, I would definitely come to ask for it in person. I would be careful and understand that you don't have to be so reserved. You are my good mentor and good friend. Unlike others, you have something to say but it doesn't matter."

Mr. Chen was the disciple of Qiao Zhou. He was still quite complaining when he was ordered to go south. However, after living for a long time, he was immersed in it and could not extricate himself. He wandered around the country and was proficient in several foreign languages. In addition, his identity as a disciple of Qiao Zhou promoted Confucianism everywhere, and many disciples were many, many of them were still from foreign countries, and they looked like a master of a school.

Qiao Deng refused to change his respectful nature when he heard this, saying: "I think the country is upright and vigorous, so it is not advisable to act rashly. Besides, the matter in the north has not been discovered, so Your Highness should not engage in wars..."

...

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Cough cough... This is very good. Your Majesty is the most important force in combat in the north. Although there is no order to transfer, we should send troops to help Your Majesty. Cough cough..." Yang Hu lay on the sickbed and coughed violently, vomiting vermilion, as if he was about to die soon.

The officials in Jingzhou knelt on the bed and bowed to each other with red eyes. Although Yang Hu surrendered to the Han Dynasty from Wei, his ability and personality charm were easy to conquer the officials in Jingzhou. It was also a natural thing. Under Yang Hu's management, Jingzhou not only had people's livelihood flourishes, but also made innovations in the military construction.

"Your Majesty Yang should not say too much, you can get better after you have peace of mind." The civil and military knelt down and comforted her, unable to bear to let Yang Hu waste any more energy.

Yang Hu lay on his back and gasped, and said in a mute voice for a while: "I am about to come, I have something to tell you. Please leave, please feel free to write." This was said smoothly, as it was caused by Yang Hu's accumulated strength for a long time. Everyone endured the grief and retreated outside the door, leaving only Yang Hu and Dai Yuan inside the house.

At the moment of crisis, there should have been children beside him, but Yang Hu was the throne and the Grand Tutor of the Army, but the position of the governor of Jingzhou, had no descendants. According to legend, Yang Hu held a golden ring when he was five years old, but his wet nurse found that it was not a property of the Yang family. Later, he found that it was the owner of the dead children of another family. Later, some people who were good at the tomb of the prime minister said that Yang Hu had the aura of the emperor, and if he was chiseled, there would be no descendants. Yang Hu was so excited that he was still a three-pronged man in this family. Later, Yang Hu fell off his horse and broke his arms, and he was in the position of three-pronged man, but he did not have a descendant.

Dai Yuan's name is Ruosi, not only has outstanding literary talent but also has a very strategic strategy. He is a person who Yang Hu relies very much on this. Seeing Yang Hu like this, he shed tears and said sadly: "Your Majesty Yang, please tell me, and the student will hold the pen."

Yang Hu was refreshed and spoke slowly. Dai Yuan did not dare to neglect the neat writing and record it one by one, and his heart was extremely shocked. What Yang Hu said was for the country and the people without any selfishness, and the last thing involved the future trend of the Han Dynasty.

The letter was well sealed, and Yang Hu finally said with peace of mind: "Your Majesty's successor is appointed by Your Majesty. If you think that you have great talents, but you are not good at conquering me, I will be deeply convinced. However, the situation has changed, and it will be beneficial to you to open your horizons. If you take this letter to the north in person, you must hand it over to Your Majesty personally. If Your Majesty asks it according to the content of the letter, just answer it truthfully."

Dai Yuan was a man from the south and had no interest in the country's battles in the north and opening up overseas battlefields. Although he was proficient in strategy and was good at writing and fine writing, he was an insignificant person for the current Han Dynasty. Originally, this kind of mind was very similar to Yang Hu's intentions, but Yang Hu had already foresaw the possible situation in the future, so he comforted him at the last moment of his life's death.

"What Yang Gong thought, the students had already understood one or two things. I hope Yang Gong would rest well and not give up easily." Dai Yuan felt touched and knew that Yang Hu could not bear to see him buried among the crowd, so he intended to recommend him to His Majesty, and burst into tears.

...

Jiangdong, Jianye.

Wu Yan's face was gloomy and Du Yu discussed in the hall: "Recently, the matter of Your Majesty's going north has become rampant, but I don't care about this when I see the Jiangzuo family. If this matter is heard, it will be furious."

The Han Dynasty represented the Han people and the foreign races represented by the Huns. This was a sensational event in Yongliang Yizhou, Central Plains, but the turmoil and public opinion trends caused in the Jiangdong region were not as many as imagined. In other words, the Jiangdong gentry paid more attention to the development of the region, and less on the basis of the interests of the country.

Yizhou is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and the Central Plains was also suffering from the rebellion of foreign races, so it is only right to pay attention to support this matter. However, it has become a custom for people in Jiangdong to think about things in the north, and they even have the mentality of being superior to the Jiangzuomen tribe. This attitude towards this is reasonable.
