In the second year of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty, and the sixth year of martial arts in Qi State, in order to strengthen the control of the court, Liu Yu made personnel adjustments again.

In order to appease people's hearts, Li Shanchang, who had been neglected before, was reused again, and Li Shanchang was named Sikong, and he assisted the government with Prime Minister Yang Su and Shang Shuling Liu Muzhi.

Because Jia Kui and others were executed and there were no military generals in the court, Liu Yu wantonly named his own generals.He Wuji was appointed as the general who conquered the east, Shen Tianzi as the general who conquered the west, Fu Hongzhi as the general who conquered the north, and Liu Daoling as the general who conquered the south to guard the four directions.He also appointed Shen Linzi as the prefect of Jincheng, and Liu Zunkao as the champion general in charge of the forbidden army.

The Shangshu ordered Liu Mu to submit a letter requesting an investigation of the hidden population of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and more than [-] people were obtained.

After the Qi State conquered the Tang State, the soldiers were very war-weary. In order to appease the hearts of the people, Cao Anmin postponed the extermination of the Han Dynasty, and instead shifted all his focus to restoring people's livelihood and developing commerce. The national strength of Qi State was steadily improved.

In the Tai Chi Hall of Chang'an, all the ministers went to the hall to kneel and worship, and they were divided into civil and military positions.

"Your Majesty, please play if you have something to do." Sikong Li Shanchang walked out of the queue.

"Is there something important for Sikong?" Liu Yu stood in front of Liu Chan with his sword across his waist, his eyes narrowed slightly, not angry.

"Your Majesty, there have been years of severe drought in the north of Hexi, and the people have suffered unspeakably. After autumn, the Huns and Qiang people plundered wantonly and killed the people. If this continues, there will never be a day of peace for our great Han Xichui. Your Majesty, please come down." The decree is to send troops to attack the Xiongnu and Qiang people and make them surrender."

Li Shanchang's words immediately caused a commotion among the officials.

As we all know, Liu Bobo, the leader of the Xiongnu, and Lu Guang, the leader of the Qiang nationality, were allies of the Qin and Han Dynasties.Although the Huns and Qiangs were severely injured after the Qi State swept the north, they almost lost the kingdom.

But after they led the remnants to the west, the slow recovery over the years has also gained a little bit of foundation.Qin and Han were threatened by Qi and couldn't protect themselves. In desperation, they could only turn to the two clans for help and form an alliance to fight against the enemy.

Now that the Qi army has not yet come, the family will fight among themselves first. If this situation continues, it may be difficult for Qin and Han to survive.

"Your Majesty, Sikong's words are words that harm the country. I hope Your Majesty must not believe them." He Wuji quickly retorted.

"Your Majesty, as we all know, the Xiongnu and Qiang are foreign aid for our great Han. Even if they plunder our people, we must not take the initiative to fight with them at this time of crisis. Otherwise, if the army of Qi arrives, our country will lose two major foreign aids. I hope your Majesty Think twice." Liu Daoling also said.

All the generals said something to each other, which made Li Shanchang blush and thick neck, but he didn't refute.Because, everyone present knew in their hearts that the Huns and the Qiang people were like a wolf, driving away the wolf and the tiger. If they were lucky, the wolf and the tiger would lose.

Liu Yu, the head of the ministers, coughed lightly, and the hall fell silent.

Liu Yu saluted Liu Chan first, then stood up and walked down, looking around, his voice turned around in the Tai Chi Hall.

"What all the ministers say makes sense. The Huns and the Qiang are the generation of tigers and wolves. Whether it is appeasement or suppression, it will not benefit me in the end. If this is the case, why don't we work together and seek our own interests."

When everyone heard this, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.

Since Liu Yu became a regency, military and political power has never been left behind.Whether it is his own lineage or the founding fathers of the Qin and Han Dynasties, it is clear that Liu Yu has always had a dream of expanding outwards in his heart.

Qi and Tang fought decisively at Jingkou, and he led an army to attack Tongguan, but was defeated by Wei Xiaokuan and Meng Gong.Now, after a year of recuperation, I am afraid that he has made plans to start cutting again.

"What do you mean, Brother Wang?" Liu Chan, who was on the throne, asked softly.

Liu Yu took out the document that had been written in his sleeve, and presented it to Liu Chan respectfully: "Please attack the Qi State again, and expand the territory for my great Han."

As soon as this remark came out, the hall exploded immediately.

Since the first emperor Liu Bei, Qin and Han attacked Qi many times, but in the end they were defeated repeatedly, and the national strength became weaker and weaker.

Before Liu Yu's crusade, tens of thousands of troops were lost.After finally checking the population, the country got a source of soldiers, and now Liu Yu is going to war again.

"Your Highness the Regent, think twice! Qi is a big country, and now it has all the nine states in its hands, and there are tens of millions of people in its territory. On the other hand, I am a big man, in a small corner, with only a million people and a land of only a thousand miles. How can I compete with it? , If you send troops by force, you will be humiliating yourself. The regent is the pillar of the country, don't you know this truth?"

Looking from left to right, the speaker is Qin Mi from Xichuan.

Liu Yu was furious when he heard the words: "Zizi, how do you know the important affairs of the military and the country. Although Qi is a big country, after decades of conquests, the domestic war weariness is high, and the soldiers and the people don't want to fight. As long as our king division attacks, we will surely win a big victory. More What's more, Tongguan Guard General Meng Gong has been transferred to Xichuan, and there is only one little Wei Xiaokuan in Tongguan. This time, my master Wang will win a big victory and regain the land of Sili in one fell swoop."

Qin Mi still wanted to defend himself but saw Guan Yu shaking his head at him nearby. In desperation, he could only sigh and back away.

Seeing that no one objected, Liu Yu continued to say to Liu Chan: "The failure of the previous attack on Qi was all due to mistakes in tactical deployment. This time, the army went directly northward to seize Puban, an important town on the east bank of the river, and bypass Qi. Heavy troops from Tongguan went straight to the land of Bingzhou."

Liu Chan is just a child, he has never been out of the palace, so how could he know about the marching and fighting.

He asked ignorantly: "The Qi army is heavily guarding Tongguan. If my master Wang goes north, how can they not know?"

Liu Yu said with a smile: "The minister's use of troops this time is definitely not all the way."

"Oh, do you have foreign aid?"

"Liu Bobo of the Huns, Lu Guang of the Qiangs."

"Isn't it too risky for them to be of a different race if they have two hearts?"

Liu Chan's words were also recognized by many courtiers.

Both Liu Bobo and Lu Guang were officials of the Qin and Han Dynasties in name, but they were all aliens after all.

As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different hearts.If they turned against each other before the battle, I am afraid that the Eastern Expeditionary Army will never recover.

Liu Yudao: "Liu Bobo and the State of Qi have a hatred for killing their father, and Lu Guang's whole family is in the hands of the State of Qi. The Hu people pay attention to blood relationship, and both of their clans and the State of Qi have blood feuds. This time, as long as my master Wang raises his arms Huh, they must be following closely, and never dare to have second thoughts."

Liu Chan saw that Liu Yu could not be persuaded, so he gave up.

Liu Yu took the opportunity to persuade Liu Chan to issue an edict.

Liu Bobo was appointed as the General of the Fuguo, Zhao Gong; Lu Guang was named the General of the Zhenguo.Chen Gong, led their respective soldiers and horses to the Chang'an guild alliance.And Liu Chan promised in the imperial edict that if the Qi State can be destroyed, the three families will share its land.

Liu Yu named himself the governor of the conquest, and recruited troops from Qin, Han, and Yongliang, with a total of more than [-] troops.Liu Bobo and Lu Guang were extremely happy to receive the Qin and Han imperial edicts, and immediately assembled their troops and marched towards Chang'an quickly.

Chapter 946

The army of Qin and Han rallied, and the spies stationed in Yongliang and Liangzhou quickly spread the news to Pengcheng.

In Qianyuan Palace, Cao Anmin summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Qi has not started a war for more than a year.Now that Qin Han came to provoke, Cao Anmin planned to take this opportunity to show off his military power and force Qin Han to surrender voluntarily.

"Your Majesty, I think it is wrong for the army to attack the Han."

"Feng Xiao said in detail, what's wrong with my actions?"

Guo Jia pointed to the sand table and said: "I think there are three things that are wrong. First, the land of Yongzhou is rugged, and the large army will attack. Not only can it not give full play to its superiority in strength, but it may give the Han army a chance to sneak attack because the battle line is too long. Moreover, the grain road is too long and transportation is extremely inconvenient. Second, Han is a small country and cannot be compared with the two countries of Tang and Wei. To attack Wei, His Majesty sent 30 troops; Not much. Today, our Great Qi occupies eighty-nine out of ten of the world, and our national strength is different from what it used to be. There is no need for heavy troops to destroy the Han. Third, our country has been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers need a chance to breathe. Continuing a big war violates your Majesty and the people's recuperation Policy. Based on these three items, the minister opposes Xing Dajun."

Cao Anmin said nothing, but fixed his gaze on Li Ji.

Li Ji stroked his beard, knowing that he couldn't escape, he said, "I think Feng Xiao's words are very appropriate."

The remaining Jia Xu and Wang Meng also agreed.

Everyone can't count on it, so Cao Anmin can only turn to Yao Guangxiao, the chief assistant minister.

Yao Guangxiao coughed and said, "Wei Xiaokuan is a famous general appointed by His Majesty. With him guarding Tongguan, the front line will be safe. If Your Majesty wants to launch a large army to attack, he only needs to wait for three years. After three years, the ministers will not stop him."

Cao Anmin saw that everyone was determined, so he had no choice but to give up the plan of the army to attack.Instead, it was placed on the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements.

There are many generals in Qi State, and there are even more commanders.
