Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 571 It's time to Yang Zhongguo's Tianwei
Nearly a year since he ascended the throne, Yuan Yao didn't seem to make any big moves on the surface. The impression given to outsiders is that he is indulging in a luxurious and glamorous life all day long. He is no longer the same as the previous image of bloody battles. Show tricks! !
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: Soldiers are deceitful.Therefore, what can be shown is not possible, what is used can be shown not to be used, what is close can be shown to be far, and what is far can be shown to be near.

These are the few sentences of Art of War that Yuan Yao is most familiar with, especially the first five words.

Soldiers who, deception also! !

Over the past year, whenever Yuan Yao was free, he would check the status of the "Ancient Book" with trepidation. Naturally, it was inevitable that he would turn over the first page of the "Ancient Book" and look at it a few times before sighing.

As time went by, Yuan Yao's understanding of these few sentences of Art of War became more and more, and every time he read it, his understanding would be different from the previous one.

"Soldiers, tricks!" There is no need to explain these five words.

The words "can show that you can't" on the surface mean that you can show your weakness by being able to fight.

If you think about it a little more, you are strong to show you are weak, and you are weak to show you are strong.

Looking at it again, it may be that it is obviously possible, but people think it is not possible, and it is obviously not possible, but people think it is possible.

or……

Yuan Yao just wanted to create a phenomenon of no ambition, contentment, and satisfaction with the status quo, so that outsiders would think that after Yuan Yao became the emperor, all he wanted was how to keep the throne, and then guard the existing country and enjoy a happy life.

But Yuan Yao is actually playing tricks! !
It is obviously the potential enemy that Yuan Yao is most worried about, but Yuan Yao shows his closeness to him and indulges his behavior. He is obviously the general Yuan Yao wants to reuse, but Yuan Yao deliberately does not reuse him.

His purpose of doing this is to use one year to let the Dazhong Empire rest and recuperate, and to survive the disaster-related year in history, and on the other hand, to take this opportunity to test the loyalty of the princes of all parties. ! !
Fortunately, Han Sui and the Ma family who were far away in the Western Regions, and Yang Biao who was still in the court, all expressed their support for the Dazhong Dynasty. , Xiahou Dun, etc. have also been recognized by the generals, and seem to have accepted the reality that Yuan Yao is the emperor.

But... the Southern Huns rebelled! ! !
This secret report from Liangzhou was sent by Yuan Yao's underground intelligence organization. According to the intelligence, the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Liu Qubei used his special status after the unification of the Han Dynasty to secretly persuade the Wusun Kingdom and fled to Wusun. The remnants of the Northern Xiongnu in the Sun Kingdom secretly used troops to destroy the Kangju country, and forced the herdsmen of the Kangju country to serve as soldiers, and continued to attack westward, intending to establish an independent force in the west.

Liu Qubei did not follow Yuan Yao's wishes to slaughter the Northern Huns. Instead, he believed that the Dazhong Empire had just been established and its foundation was unstable. It was impossible for Yuan Yao to leave the palace and lead his army thousands of miles away to attack him. Huns, a great opportunity to make contributions.

"It's not my race!! Their hearts must be different!! Especially the Huns!! Absolutely unbelievable!!!" Yuan Yao roared angrily in his heart.

After Yang Wu dispatched his men, he quickly returned to Yuan Yao's side, and asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, isn't Liu Qubei at war with the Northern Huns? Could it be...?"

"Yang Wu, I still didn't pay enough attention to your suggestion back then! You have always doubted Liu Qubei's loyalty, and the facts prove that you are right!" Yuan Yao handed the secret report to Yang Wu, "Look Just read this secret report and you will understand!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Wu respectfully took the secret report, quickly browsed it, and soon his eyebrows stood erect, his teeth were gritted, and his face was angry.

"Your Majesty, I can't wait to behead this dog thief now!!" Yang Wu said angrily.

Yuan Yao nodded, patted Yang Wu's back, and said with hatred: "I thought I treated Liu Qu quite unkindly, but I didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf! He thought he was far away from the desert, and I couldn't do anything about it." , then now, I will let everyone in the world see what happens if you dare to go against my will!"

While the two were discussing, all the generals came one after another and stood respectfully on both sides of the hall, secretly guessing what Emperor Yuan Yao meant.

This kind of summoning was not common, even though it was only summoning some people who stayed behind in the capital Pingyu, it was not common. Most of the time, civil and military officials only used it to present to Yuan Shu in the prime minister's mansion, and did not use it in the palace.

However, because of this, all the generals showed excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu were also summoned, and the expressions in the eyes of the three were a little different from those of other generals. They looked at the emperor Yuan Yao sitting high on the dragon chair, and their eyes were full of admiration and longing.

Yuan Yao has been sitting still, his eyes are majestic. Seeing that everyone has arrived, he nodded, then held up the secret report, and said in a deep voice, "My dear friends, this is a secret report from Liangzhou, the secret report It is said that the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu conspired to rebel!!"

As soon as Yuan Yao's words fell, the court hall immediately took a deep breath!
Immediately afterwards, there was a look of anger, and immediately several ministers came out, stood in the middle, paid homage to Yuan Yao, and wanted to speak.

Yuan Yao saw that it was Sikong Jiaxu, the prime minister's governor Shi Xushu, the tiger guard commander Xu Xuan, the Xiongwei commander Dai Ling, the bow cavalry commander Zhao Yun, the Longteng army commander Li Dian and other generals.

"Your Majesty! I believe that the Huns don't deserve another chance from Dazhong!! Please order to wipe out the rebels to show Dazhong Tianwei!" Jia Xu clasped his hands and played.

"Your Majesty, after a year of recuperation, I am fit to go out!" Xu Shu also cupped his hands with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead an army and kill all the barbarians!!" Xu Chu said loudly, raising his thick arms and cupping his fists.

"Your Majesty, Dai Ling has been waiting for this day. If he goes to war, Dai Ling will request to go to war!" Dai Ling's voice was even louder.

"Your Majesty, after such a long period of training, it's time for the horse archers to show off in the desert!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists with both hands, respectfully.

"Your Majesty, although the Longteng army is a navy army, they are not afraid of this desert! The last general is on call at any time!!" Although Li Dian was young, he was as mature as other generals.

Yuan Yao laughed out loud, and after laughing, his face became cold again, and he said loudly: "Okay!! Since all the lovers support sending troops, I have decided that in February of the next year, I will personally lead the army to march westward, forever The curse of the barbarians!!"

"Your Majesty is holy!!" The generals were overjoyed, and immediately knelt down, shouting long live!
After the dynasty dispersed, all the officials went to prepare, and Du Guojia stayed behind.

"Feng Xiao, why were you the only one who didn't speak up just now?" Yuan Yao asked curiously.

"I am worried that if I say what I think in public, it may reach the ears of the enemy!" Guo Jia said.

Yuan Yao understood, got up immediately, took Guo Jia to the study, ordered his confidants to guard him, and asked him again.

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, if you want to conquest yourself, it's not just to kill Liu Qubei and the Xiongnu, right?"

"Feng Xiao, my intention is not just to destroy the Xiongnu. If it is just to destroy the Xiongnu, sending two generals is sufficient. I want to take this opportunity to conquer the entire continent in one fell swoop and gradually unify the whole world so that the Han people will never be exterminated." The disaster will allow the whole world to enter a new civilization without national boundaries!" Yuan Yao said.
