Chapter 88

On the second day after the meeting, almost all the generals left Chang'an.

In addition to Lu Su and Chen Dao in charge of Chang'an, Zhang Ren was sent to Luoyang, and the leaders of other counties were also urgently sent from Chengdu. As for the commanders of each county, they were drawn out by young backbones in the army and asked them to recruit and train the guards of each county on the spot.

Lu Su expressed a headache about Liu Xie's "irresponsible" behavior of throwing everything to himself.

But it was only the only thing he had proposed to let Liu Xie move the capital to Chang'an and build Luoyang, but Liu Xie stayed to coordinate the overall situation.

Regarding this, Lu Su cannot say that Liu Xie did not value him, and actually left him in the rear. Because he valued him too much, he kept him to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, he would randomly transfer his staff to Chengdu, and the Trade Association would cooperate with his plan.

As for the reconstruction of Luoyang, Liu Xie also had a overall plan. Lu Su just took the overall situation here and acted according to the plan. Anyway, those noble families and prominent families will definitely take the initiative to rebuild Luoyang. As long as Liu Xie proposes to rebuild Luoyang, I believe that the noble families and prominent families will definitely come back, especially those profit-seeking merchants. In this way, just selling the "land store" can completely recover the construction cost.

Lu Su stayed in Chang'an for the time being to deal with the envoys sent by Lao Yuan. It is natural to form an alliance with Lao Yuan, but this matter cannot be done too openly, let alone him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If he ran out to receive Lao Yuan's envoys, wouldn't it be too much?

And that would be equivalent to a disguised recognition of Lao Yuan’s legal status? Although Lao Yuan’s strength is very strong, he has to admit that Lao Yuan is a character and a person who can threaten him, but this default is very different from indirect recognition.

Therefore, at this time, the people below can only come forward to receive them. And he cannot be present, after all, Lao Yuan was not here to hand over the table.

As for the several passes 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. At most, they can go back to Yizhou. When they really start working, don’t blame him for stabbing them in the ass. Will they join forces to enter Yizhou together? Liu Xie is not worried about this at all.

It is too easy for allies, especially those like Lao Yuan and Lao Cao, to get apart. What's more, he built Luoyang and then led his troops to attack the Western Regions. Isn't this just a signal to them that he doesn't intend to intervene in the war between them. He doesn't have time to intervene!

The Western Regions have not yet been recovered! Of course, they would never have thought that Liu Xie's ultimate goal was to go around Lao Yuan and stab him in the back. When they were almost done, they could still pick up the advantage of Lao Cao. If they could, it would not be a problem to attack Lao Cao in one go.

Regarding the plan proposed by Liu Xie, the three military officials were secretly exhausted because the plan was too huge. To achieve this possibility, according to Liu Xie's plan, they must first recover the Western Regions, then attack the northern Xianbei from the Western Regions, and then circle around to the back of Youbing and the two states...

You know, this is a long-term battle! What should I do if I supply? Lu Su, an honest man, naturally would not think of the "cruel" way of fighting to support the war. But Jia Xu, the old poisonous creature, easily thought of what Liu Xie wanted to do.

However, Liu Xie has to say that Jia Xu is so vicious that it makes people feel cold all over. He thinks that if he uses the method of fighting to support the war, the prisoners should not be kept and killed directly. Anyway, they are aliens, so just think they are pigs and dogs!

When he heard this old guy who had never spoken much, he suddenly proposed such a "vicious" way, 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. People from other races are also humans!

Jia Xu smiled and sneered. Because in his eyes, he had seen too many tribe aliens bullying Han people.

In the eyes of aliens, Han people are pigs and dogs, and they are pigs and dogs that can be given and asked for. As long as they lack harvest and rob the Han people, it is certain. This is also the reason why there are constant wars on the frontiers.

It was fine when the Han Dynasty was strong, but now the Han Dynasty is extremely weak, and those aliens would have been ready to move. If it weren't for Tan Shihuai's death, his son and Lian were not as talented as his father, and his greed, cruel and violent, causing civil strife in the Xianbei, and several leaders attacked each other, they would have gone south to attack the Han Dynasty.

Finally, Liu Xie made a decision: "Although aliens are cruel, greedy and violent, they are not all like this. Wenhe and Zijing's words are correct. Therefore, I came up with an idea to support the war and use those prisoners to fight. As long as I want freedom, I will exchange military merits for each other. If you want women, you will have to use military merits. I call them the "begging army". As for the elderly, weak, women and children who cannot participate in the war, let them work, pave the way from the Western Regions, and pave all the way to Chang'an... As long as those people work for three years, they can give them the identity and status of Han people, break them up and integrate them into the other prefectures and counties..."

Hearing Liu Xie's suggestion, the three military advisors' eyes shone brightly, and they didn't seem to expect that Liu Xie would have such an idea.

This idea cannot be said to be bad, but it is too good. According to Liu Xie's former saying, if you want to be rich, you should build roads first. Liu Xie's idea cannot be said to be a bold attempt, but this is completely a try. However, the old and weak also need to consume money and food, which is a bottomless pit.

However, Jia Xu sneered, "It is very normal for those old and weak to die in the project..."

“…”

Lu Su and Guo Jia were both speechless, thinking that this old guy was really vicious! Although they were resourceful and sometimes the conspiracy was quite insidious, compared with this old guy's vicious thoughts, it was no different from a good baby!

Liu Xie was also quite speechless, but although Jia Xu's words were vicious, they were actually for the overall situation. Of course, if you think about the history of foreign invasions that had not happened in history or in history, Liu Xie didn't think it was vicious.

Finally, everyone agreed with Liu Xie's proposal, and then Liu Xie's arrangement was made to leave Lu Su in Chang'an to receive the envoys. By the way, let him take Zhu Ge, and Zhu Ge does not need to participate in the battle for the time being. Letting him do logistics is better than fighting.

Anyway, he is not short of military advisors under Liu Xie, and he does not need so many military advisors in the Western Expedition.

Moreover, thinking about the powerful generals under his devil, Liu Xie was somewhat expectant. What a situation would it be to let these powerful generals take their men to gallop across the desert?

Unfortunately, this time, he did not plan to go to war with the army, because he had to return to Chengdu to take charge and attract the attention of others to Yizhou, so that these fierce people under his command could implement their plan to make a fortune.

As for going to Xiliang, I naturally accepted the surrender of Mahan and Han, and took Mahan and Han to settle down in Chengdu!

The capital movement was to reassure Lao Yuan and Lao Cao, so Liu Xie had to temporarily stop. To the outside world, Chang'an was naturally dilapidated, Luoyang needed to be rebuilt, the Western Regions were recovered, and the money and food were tight, so he had no ability to move the capital for the time being.

This will also reassure Lao Yuan and Lao Cao. Look, I have gone to fight the Western Regions and have no ability to interfere in the broken matter between you, don’t have the confidence to fight!

After you finish fighting, I will also regain the Western Regions, and then rebuilding the Western Regions will be another big investment, so don’t worry!

...

On this day, Liu Xie led a large army to Ji County in Tianshui. Ma Teng indeed led his subordinates to greet him outside the city of Ji County. Ma Dai, Ma Chao, and Pang De were among them, and even Ma Teng's second son, also his legitimate son Ma Xiu, was among them.

Although it was the first time I saw Ma Teng, Liu Xie had seen Ma Teng's paintings. However, when he saw such a mighty man, Liu Xie had to sigh that he was indeed a tiger father without a dog son! Only such a mighty person would give birth to a mighty man like Ma Chao!

In Ma Teng's introduction, there were many Qiang leaders next to him, and it turned out that they were also here to surrender.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xie was even more happy. These Qiang leaders were also quite cute! They were actually willing to add chips to Ma Teng.

In fact, Ma Teng did not mention these Qiang leaders during his surrender, but now it appears. It can be seen that Ma Teng should be afraid that Liu Xie would use the two thieves Li and Guo to suppress him, so he also brought these Qiang leaders in to increase his bargaining chips.

I have to say that Ma Teng plays well. Because this way, Liu Xie has done a lot less. Originally, Liu Xie intended to ask Ma Chao to report to those Qiang and Di people, but now it seems that Ma Chao can follow the Western Expedition!

With this militant, the Western Expedition must be full of fun. Liu Xie wanted to join in the fun, but... it's not possible!

Liu Xie was somewhat regretful. You should know that there were rare scenes of so many powerful generals together. And there were also a group of second- and third-rate generals following him, such as Ma Teng's eight heroes in the original history and Han Sui's eight heroes later. Now they are all led by Liu Xie to participate in the Western Expedition.

It will save these people from staying in Guanzhong and having nothing to do and causing more trouble.

As Ma Teng went to the Ji County Government, the two were talking and laughing, as if the things that happened between them had never existed before. Seeing Liu Xie's appearance, Ma Teng sighed in his heart. His three sons were really much worse than this young emperor!

Although Ma Chao is very brave, he is not flexible. Although his second son Ma Xiu is more sleeker than Ma Chao, he is not as prestigious as Ma Chao.

And just as the two were talking and laughing, a sweet shout suddenly came.

"It's you!" (To be continued...)
