Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 534

Liu Xie, who is just 15 years old, has not long realized the beauty of women. He is immersed in beauty almost every day during the rest of his life. When he wakes up so early, he can't help yawning and lack of energy.

However, as soon as he sat on the dragon chair, Liu Xie saw a person.

General and Prime Minister Yuan Yao! !
Liu Xie was shocked, and immediately sat upright, and the drowsiness disappeared instantly.

"Prime Minister Yuan! What's the important thing today that you want to go to court early?" Liu Xie asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, the Spring Festival will be in twelve days. Your Majesty, please start preparing for the annual grand sacrifice. In addition, I believe that since the capital of the Han Dynasty has been moved to Pingyu City, there must be a corresponding year name to match. Your Majesty After discussing with all the officials, they unanimously recommended the title of Jianping! What do you think of your majesty?" Yuan Yao said.

Yuan Yao said it was a play, but in fact he just reported it to the emperor in front of all the officials to make the matter look more formal. He didn't mean to ask the emperor at all. Asking was just to give the emperor face.

Of course Liu Xie also understood, and immediately said with a smile all over his face: "Prime Minister Yuan is still thinking about the country. Since all officials have agreed to this matter, let's do it accordingly!"

Yuan Yao nodded and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your permission!"

"Retire!" Liu Xie announced his withdrawal when he saw that no one was playing.

Hundreds of officials Qi Qishan called Long live and sent Liu Xie away.

……

Prime Minister's Mansion

Guo Jia came to report: "My lord, yesterday my subordinates thought about it carefully and thought it would be better for my lord to go east!"

"Why?" Yuan Yao asked.

"It's like this. The Western Expedition has already been led by Chen Sili. It is not appropriate for the Lord to lead the Western Expedition. This will invisibly reduce Chen Sili's prestige, and it will not be conducive to further Western Expeditions such as the Great Yuezhi and Rome and other empires in the future!"

"In addition, there is another point. If the lord leads the army to the west, it will easily cause panic among the princes of Xiliang. Under this panic, they will unite. Although our army has nearly ten thousand cavalry, they are not familiar with the cavalry. Compared with the Xiliang cavalry in the local terrain, if we fight, I am afraid that the soldiers will suffer a lot of damage!"

"Chen Sili's prestige is not high, and he has not won any major victories independently, so he is easily looked down upon by the armies of Xiliang. If the lord leads the army to conquer the Wa Kingdom, Cao Cao and others will think that the opportunity has come, and they will definitely attack Xiliang with all their strength. , in order to gain a foothold in Xiliang and fight against the lord, this is a good plan to drive away tigers and wolves!"

"On the other hand, the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom is different from the Three Hans. It has more land, and my lord, your strategy for the Wa Kingdom is to slaughter it. The more difficult it is to advance, when the Japanese people understand the intention of the Lord, they will fight desperately, and the casualties of our army will also increase greatly."

"The best way is to use a strong army to quickly destroy the Wa country before the enemy reacts, and we can also get more food in the Wa country, which is much more beneficial than fighting in the interior!"

"There is another point, the lord's personal conquest of the Wa country can leave a deeper impression on the people who survived in Sanhan, and can win more people's hearts, which is conducive to attacking northward in the future and recovering Goguryeo, Puyu and other countries! My lord Xin The name of the King of Baekje will resound throughout the Northeast because of the Battle of Wa Kingdom!!"

"After the Japanese kingdom is destroyed, we will no longer have any threats from the east. We can use all the troops of the whole country to attack west or north!! When the time comes, there will be no one in this world who can be our lord's opponent! !"

"In the north, Yuan Shao will help us clear the obstacles, and in the west, Cao Cao will also help us eliminate our opponents. It can be imagined that our army will chase after us, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army will have to help us eliminate them step by step. Enemies encountered on the road!!"

"Master, this is my subordinate's point of view, please learn from me!" Guo Jia bowed respectfully.

"Good! Good!!! What a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves!!! It is indeed my filial piety! The plan of the Eastern Expedition is exactly what I want!!" Yuan Yao praised.

"However, Feng Xiao, I don't quite understand one thing. Why are you so sure that Cao Cao can defeat the princes of Xiliang?" Yuan Yao asked strangely.

Yuan Yao entrusted Chen Dao with the matter of the Western Expedition long ago, and let Chen Dao's troops from Bing, Liang, Sili, and Yong prefectures, including Cao Cao's troops in Hanoi, jointly attack Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, and Han Sui Wait for the Xiliang army.

Although Cao Cao has Liu Bei joining and has two more fierce generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but because of Yuan Yao's attack, he has already lost Yu Jin, Li Dian, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Man Chong, Niu Jin, Xun You, Famous generals such as Xi Zhong, and because of Yuan Yao's relationship, historically such talents as Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Dong Zhao, and Guo Jia no longer belong to Cao Cao.

Yuan Yao really couldn't believe that Cao Cao could still win the Western Expedition! !
"My lord!! There is one thing, it's just a subordinate's guess, but it is very likely to be true! The Sima clan in Hanoi may have joined Cao Cao!!" Guo Jia said with a serious expression.

"Ah! Hanoi Sima, Feng Xiao, are you talking about the Sima Fang clan? How is this possible? Aren't they in Yuan Shao's territory? Besides, isn't Sima Fang unwilling to stand out again and want to protect his family?" Yuan Yao was taken aback.

"When I was in Yuan Shao's camp, I once met several of Sima Fang's sons, especially his third son, Sima Yi, so he was not under me. Not long ago, before returning to my hometown, I passed through Guandu and asked about Sima's family. I heard that after Cao Cao became the prefect of Hanoi, Sima Fang's family moved back to live in Hanoi!"

"My lord is now recruiting talents from all over the world. Talented people are all valued, and the future is bright. Which famous people in the world are not willing to vote?? But only Sima Fang's family has never made any movement, and even intentionally Hidden traces, so that the lord cannot find out the exact address!! The subordinates speculate that the Sima family either has great ambitions and is willing to help the weaker side, disrupt the world, and try to fish in troubled waters, or they really want to be hermits , be wise and protect yourself, and be willing to be ordinary!"

"Based on my understanding of the Sima family, I believe that the Sima family is not a family willing to be hermits! Please be careful, my lord!"

Guo Jia reported carefully.

"Okay, I got it!" A cold light flashed in Yuan Yao's eyes.

"Feng Xiao, since Cao Cao is supported by the Sima family, why did you let Cao Cao go west? If Cao Cao relies on the Sima family's ability to rule the entire Xiliang, he may become our strong enemy!" Yuan Yao said.

Guo Jia nodded, with a respectful expression, and said: "This is exactly the plan of my subordinates! If it weren't for this, the plan to drive away tigers and wolves would not work, it would only be to drive wolves away, and it would definitely fail! One more thing, the aliens from Xiliang More, if Cao Cao wants to gain a foothold in Xiliang, he will definitely try his best to integrate other races, which is equivalent to making wedding clothes for us!"

"If you want to forcibly unify the foreign race, you must kill. This kind of thing is left to Cao Cao. When they both lose, the lord will kill Cao Cao. This will not only gain the favor of the foreign race, but also simplify the difficulty of unifying the foreign culture! Only by taking advantage of Sinicization Only when there are aliens, the lord can truly unify the whole world!"

"Isn't this exactly your great ideal, my lord? If my lord only wants to unify the current territory of the Han Dynasty, then there is no need to do so. Instead, when Cao Cao sends troops, let Chen Dao lead the troops to attack from behind while Cao Cao is at war with Xiliang. Cao Cao, you can destroy Cao Cao!" Guo Jia said.
