Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 508
This move was tantamount to touching Li Yue's back.

Ever since I got off Heiyun Mountain, I have always robbed others. Now, someone has come to rob me regardless of life or death. This is unbearable. I simply don’t take Daliang seriously. Although the current national policy is to cut down the armor and stop the troops, but The Rouran people invaded Youzhou and burned the pastures. How could they still farm and herd sheep?

To deal with them, there is no need to send out a large army, just treat it as an ordinary hunting activity.

"You're good to go. Daliang is short of slaves to reclaim wasteland and build a city. They took the initiative to send them to our door." Li Yue said with a murderous smile.

To deal with Jiangdong, you must attack his heart; to deal with the savages on the grassland, you must attack his life!

Ten thousand kind words are not as effective as a knife stabbed in the past, and they only recognize the knife.

"Monan has always been controlled by the Tuoba clan. Why did the Rouran people and the Gaoche people pass through the Tuoba clan and invade Youzhou?" Cui Hong said insinuatingly.

Li Yue was startled and quickly came to his senses.

Tuoba Shi Yijian is unruly and unruly. The last time he was ordered to attack Henan, it gave him the opportunity to grow stronger, but he was coy and made small fuss.

Although it was not necessarily planned by him that the tribes moved south this time, he was definitely pushing it behind the scenes.

Anyone can use this trick to make a stumbling block secretly.

With Tuoba Shi Yijian's little belly and chicken intestines, there is a high probability that he is behind this.

"Your Majesty, you can send Murong Chui out of Henan and give him a beating. Tuoba Shi Yijian will definitely stop." Liu Ying cupped his hands and said.

"This kid Tuoba Shi Yijian has always been restless. It's useless to beat him. I need to give him some color to see." As soon as Li Yue said it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Tuoba Shi Yijian was nominally his father-in-law, but there was a gap in seniority between them, so the word "boy" was a bit inappropriate.

Cui Hong and Liu Ying looked strange.

Li Yue waved his hand and didn't pay much attention. Why shouldn't the emperor of the most powerful country in the world call Tuoba Shi Yijian "boy"?

This is to give him face, and no one else has received this treatment.

"The ancients farmed in the spring and summer, and used troops in the autumn and winter. If the bandits came, I could go as well. Let the heroic cavalry gather in the upper valley and give me a thorough screening of Monan. Don't worry about the Xianbei people, the Rouran people, and the Gaoche people. If you don't surrender, Destroy them!"

A horse without night grass is not fat, and a person is not rich without windfall.

Throughout the ages, there has been no faster way to grow stronger than through plunder.

Farming is one aspect, but it does not affect going out to make some windfall. Combining hardness and softness, complementing yin and yang, is the way to govern the country.

Instead of fighting a big battle, small-scale plundering is harmless. The heroic cavalry troops take turns sending out troops, three at a time, each with [-] troops. It is regarded as training and testing of new cavalry equipment.

Those who love war will die, and those who forget war will be in danger.

Soldiers are the sharp weapons of the country. They cannot be left alone for a long time. They must always maintain the desire to fight and the desire to win.

Rather than passively hiding in the Wubao to defend, it is better to fight out and retaliate in the same way.

"Who is your Majesty going to use as your general?" Liu Ying cupped his hands and asked.

Li Yue thought for a while, using Wei Shan, Xu Cheng, Gao Yun, Lu Bozao, Zhang Hao, and Lu Guang to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Since it was military training, he might as well practice together, and his eyes fell on Cui Hong and Liu The two Yings suddenly had an idea, "Liu Laozhi, Cui Hong, and He Qian are on the left, Dou Feng, Li Yi, and Liu Ying are on the right, and Gao Heng, Zhao He, and Liu Gui are on the right."

Almost all the qualified generals at the middle level were sent out.

Although Cui Hong and Liu Ying were civil servants, they came from aristocratic families and had both civil and military talents. They should go to the battlefield to kill people at a young age to practice their courage and increase their masculinity.

Anyone who has experienced on the battlefield has good abilities.

I think back then, Zhang Qian, Ban Chao, Fu Jiezi and others were all scholars. They joined the Western Regions one after another, killing people and setting fires. They dared to fight and kill, and they did everything, which created the great glory of the Han Dynasty.

So far, the Western Regions have only followed the lead of the Central Plains.

Every prosperous court is inseparable from brave men carrying swords and forging ahead.

"Take the order!" The two of them handed over their hands, already accustomed to Li Yue's style.

Anyone who serves the emperor will be sent abroad from time to time.

Chang Wei once supervised Yuzhou, Zhou Qian was out running around all year round, Cui Jin always guarded Qingqi, and Wang Meng stayed in Nanyang.This is true for the top brass of the empire, not to mention the officials like them.

From another perspective, this is actually an opportunity. It is the wish of most children from aristocratic families to become a general.

Li Yue searched in his mind, wondering if he had missed any talents.

Meng Kuan and Li You were too young, so Li Yue would not be so crazy as to have a child to go to the battlefield.

Everything that Shangwutang should use has been used.

But when he thought of Shangwu Hall, Li Yue suddenly thought of two people, Murong Ling and Huan Yi. Their military skills were not inferior to Lu Guang's. With a little training, they would become famous generals in the future.

Although Murong Ling is the son of Murong Chui, his personality and intelligence can be regarded as a reduced version of Murong Ke.

The children of the Murong family are already outstanding, so they don't use them in vain.

As for Huan Yi, he had the style of a Confucian general, and his music, music, and military tactics were unparalleled for a time, and he had a lot of legacy from Zhou Gongjin.

The two of them have been in Shangwu Hall for such a long time, so they should be given a chance.

Generals are the backbone of an empire. It is best to form a hierarchical system. If there are many famous generals, they can check and balance each other, which will make it less likely to cause chaos.

Like Cao Wei, the most dangerous situation is when Sima Yi stands out from the crowd and all the horses are silent.

"Where are Murong Ling and Huan Yi?" Li Yue asked.

Liu Yingdao said: "Both of them are Zaoyi Lang, one is patrolling the Central Plains, and the other is patrolling Qingxu."

Murong Ling was a hostage, and Huan Yi's purpose of going north was not simple. As the key targets of attention, they were each followed by school officials.

Shang Shutai also agreed to let them go out for inspection.

Let them see how Liang Guo is governed, and it will win their hearts.

"Another Western Army will be added, with Zhuge Kan, Murong Ling and Huan Yi as generals."

"only!"

The edict was drafted and sent to the Chancellor's desk. Chang Wei came to dissuade him with a sad face.

Thirty thousand cavalry went north. Although the troops were sent out in turns, the scale was not small.

To send troops to Monan, you need the cooperation of the Shangshutai, and then you can send it to the Ministry of War to arrange the plan for sending troops, and the Ministry of Households to prepare food and grass.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of great benefit. Only using troops in Monan will not shake the foundation of the country."

If it were someone else, Li Yue would glare and give in, but facing Chang Wei, he could only be polite.

He has his position and difficulties.

Fortunately, he is not a stubborn person, and it was the Rouran ministries who made the first move. If he is not punished, the cultivation of Youzhou will not be able to continue, let alone the Yinshan Ranch.

The abundant harvest of grain and grass from the Jianghuai River was gradually delivered to Yecheng through the canal, so maintaining [-] cavalry was not a big problem.

Seeing that Li Yue even covered the jade seal, Chang Wei had no choice but to say, "This battle cannot last more than two months. Thirty thousand cavalry and eighty thousand horses, the losses are not small."

"Just as your order said!" Li Yue laughed.

Two months is enough to plow Monan.

Maybe when we come back, there will be more than 3 war horses and [-] people.

On the Bingzhou side, Zhuge Kan, Murong Ling, and Huan Yi led five thousand cavalry to send troops from Hedong, and together with Murong Chui they swept through Henan.

Tuoba Shi Yijian refused to eat the meat that was fed to his mouth, so Li Yue could only eat it by himself.
