The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Jizhou, the new capital Yecheng.

The peace of the Han Dynasty, which had lasted for more than half a year, was broken again. The eunuchs rushed to the palace with red urgent documents from all over the country.

"Report!"

"Urgent news, urgent news from Yongzhou!"

"..."

"Report!"

"Urgent news, urgent news from Bingzhou!"

"..."

"Report!"

"Urgent news, urgent news from Youzhou!"

Even the dumbest person could see that this was a war deliberately aimed at Liu Han.

"Summon Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Lu Su, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao... to the palace to discuss matters."

Liu Han said a series of names in one breath, and the eunuch quickly wrote them down, "Here."

Soon, the hall was filled with people, civil and military officials, and everyone saluted, "My Lord."

"You all saw it, right? Longguan, Shanhaiguan, and Yanmenguan have all sent urgent reports. The situation is very aggressive. Someone doesn't want us to have an easy life!"

After the New Year, Huainan was initially stabilized. Liu Han was still thinking about marching into Hanzhong. He didn't expect someone to do this to him. He deserved to die.

"My Lord," Cheng Yu spoke first, "I think it's not just these few in the north. The south has been silent, which is not normal."

Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang attacked Sanfu with a total of 50,000 troops. In the north, Kebineng led 80,000 tribesmen to carry out a bloody massacre on the grassland. In the northeast, the coalition forces of Gongsun clan and Wuhuan harassed Youzhou with 100,000 troops. The pressure in the north increased suddenly.

Cheng Yu’s meaning was very clear, these things in the north were just appetizers given to him by the enemies in the dark.

"Heh..." Liu Han smiled, with a cruel smile, "Since the opponent has already made a move, we can't refuse."

Liu hasn't dealt with these barbarians in the north for ten years. Do they really think that he can't lift a knife anymore?
Liu Han is not old, nor is he dead!
"Lord, the last general invites you to fight!"

"The last general invites you to fight!"

"..."

War is always what military generals desire most. Only with war can there be military merit, and only with military merit can there be promotion.

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

After several counselors discussed the matter, Jia Xu offered a suggestion, "My lord, although the enemy is coming with great force, they are not unified and coordinated. We think we can defeat them one by one."

"Go on."

"For Xiliang, we suggest that we focus on defense. Liangzhou is long and narrow, and Ma Teng and Han Sui are guarding the border. The logistical pressure is huge. As long as Hao Zhao guards Chencang and Yan Xing guards Longguan to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack, when the enemy runs out of food or hears news of defeat from other directions, these two will retreat without a fight."

Liu Han thought that based on Han Sui's character, he might do so. "Wenhe's words make sense, but I am afraid that Ma Teng will risk everything."

Xun You suggested, "My lord, you can send more troops to Chencang and Longguan, and send another general to guard the three prefectures."

"Gongda's words make sense, but I think that we have to defend, but the opportunity for battle is fleeting. It would be better if we can seize the opportunity to hurt these two." Liu Han looked at the generals sitting down and ready to make a move. "According to intelligence, Ma Teng and Han Sui have at least 80,000 soldiers. Obviously, they didn't bring all the people this time. They are also waiting and watching. Xu Huang."

"I am your humble general." Xu Huang, who was called by name, stood up and said, "I order you to lead 10,000 troops, together with 30,000 troops from the Sanfu area, a total of 40,000 troops, to resist the two thieves Ma Teng and Han Sui."

"I will obey my orders."

"Zhang Xiu, Fan Chou, Hua Xiong, and Hu Che'er are the four lieutenant generals accompanying the army."

"Here."

Liu Han thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I heard that Ma Teng has a son named Ma Chao, who is the bravest among the three armies. Gongming should not fight him."

"My lord?" Xu Huang felt a little unconvinced. Who was Ma Chao? How could an unknown kid have such great abilities?

"What?" "My lord, I will obey your orders, but I will find a chance to kill him!"

Xu Huang had followed Liu Han for so many years, so he naturally knew that his lord had a sharp eye. Those who could be on his lord's list were obviously capable, but unfortunately they were enemies.

"No, it's not just him. If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. I don't have the patience to wait for someone to come and take revenge."

"Yes." It was obvious that Liu Han wanted to kill Ma Teng's entire family.

"Wenhe continued."

Jia Xu saluted and said, "Well, you northern Xianbei people, we advocate fighting them, and we must fight them hard, it is best to kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

"We have indeed won over and divided many Xianbei tribes since we opened the market over the years, but there are still constant frictions in the north. What I mean is that we should fight a war in exchange for ten years of peace in the north."

As for ten years later... the Han Dynasty will definitely be unified within ten years, and it will be a question whether the Xianbei can still exist ten years later.

"In that case, Zhongde, you make the arrangements."

Liu Han has always adhered to the principle of leaving professional matters to professionals. He kept Cheng Yu in the rear to prevent a surprise attack from the north.

"Yes." Cheng Yu saluted and turned around, his eyes swept over the generals, "General Huang Zhong, General Guan Yu, General Zhang Fei and General Chen Dao."

"I am here." The four generals who were called stood up.

"Four generals, lead 50,000 cavalrymen, march out of Yanmen Pass to support Danhan Mountain. If possible, fight quickly and decisively."

"Here."

Although Kebi Neng had a large number of cavalrymen, the coordination between the tribes under his command and their equipment were not as good as those of the Han cavalry. In the northern Guanghe County and Shoujiang County, there were also soldiers stationed in the fields and Xianbei people who were on good terms with the Han people. Together, they numbered more than 20,000 people. The gap between the two sides was not big, so it all depended on how they fought.

"My Lord, for the last part of Youzhou, I will wait for you to make peace."

"and?"

"Military Advisor, are you joking?"

"Yes! When have we ever been afraid of these savages?"

"..."

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, the generals were furious. It's not like they can't fight, so why should they make peace?
Liu Han was neither arrogant nor impatient, "Wenhe, tell me more."

"My lord, according to intelligence, the Wuhuan invaders this time were Qiuliju's youngest son Louban, not Tadun. This shows that there are serious divisions within the Wuhuan. Louban announced that Tadun was seriously ill, but we all believe that he was imprisoned. If we rescue Tadun, the Wuhuan will be liberated."

This results in minimal loss for both parties.

"In that case, Wenhe, who do you think is the most suitable person to go?"

"This...it would be best if the lord went there in person."

"Then let's do it." Liu Han made arrangements based on Cheng Yu's experience. "It is said that the Han Dynasty governs the country with benevolence and justice, but the Xianbei people are not human beings, they are wolves and beasts. As for beasts, I don't want to communicate with them, Huang Zhong."

"The end will be here."

"I will give you the Wenhe faction again, and you will beat me up."

"As ordered."

"In Youzhou, Xu Rong, Zhang He, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei will lead an army of 50,000. Xun You and Cheng Yu will follow the army, along with Qian Zhao, Tian Yu, and Tian Chou from Youzhou. Gan Ning will be transferred to the navy, and Taishi Ci will be temporarily transferred to the army to fight with the army."

"Here."

"I will temporarily leave Yecheng to Zijing, and Wenruo will be in charge of the logistics of the army."

"Here."

"Zhu Jun of Sili is on guard against Liu Bei in Nanyang, Zhang Liao is in charge of the military affairs of Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and Zilong is leading troops to Yuzhou to guard against a surprise attack by Liu Xun."

"Here." (End of chapter)
