Chapter 134: The Poisoner's Borrowing Knife to Kill

Although Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu felt that his plan had some shortcomings, he rolled his eyes and was ready to tease Jia Xu.

"Why, does Jia Qing think that I shouldn't attack the Huns?"

"It's not that I disagree with the crusade against the Xiongnu, but I want to remind your majesty that our army is exhausted after successive battles and should rest for a while."

"And Your Majesty can also take advantage of this time to digest the place we just recovered." Jia Xu didn't care at all about the looks around him that wanted to tear him apart.

Everyone has already planned to go to the territory of the Huns to achieve military success, but you jumped out to oppose it?

Looking at Jia Xu, who looked normal, Liu Xie also thought about it, and it seemed that it was really what Jia Xu said.

In the past few months, I first defeated Li Jue and Guo Si, regained the Sili area, and then moved southward and westward. Indeed, the expansion was a bit fast.

Fortunately for Wancheng, Dong Cheng is helping to look after it. Before, it was in the hands of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, so it didn't have much impact on people's livelihood.

Although I was surrounded and beaten by Boss Cao for a few days, overall, it was not a big problem.

But that's not the case in Yongzhou.

Since Boss Dong moved the capital to Chang'an, it has experienced several turmoils.

After Boss Dong died, the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an, forced Wang Yun to death and burned the city of Chang'an.

In the following years, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, Li Jue and Guo Si fought for several more years. It was not until last year, before Liu Xiedong returned, that the war was reluctantly called a truce.

But later, Li Jue and Guo Si pursued Liu Xie, but Liu Xie counterattacked and killed him. For a while, the Xiliang army was leaderless again. Then Li Jue's sons, nephews, and nephews staged a full-scale martial arts campaign on the territory of Yongzhou.

It can be said that after Mr. Dong moved west to Chang'an, Yongzhou has not had a good day, and people's livelihood has withered!

Therefore, Yongzhou needs a lot of time to restore people's livelihood. And if you want to restore Yongzhou, it will take at least two years.

Liu Xie didn't want to wait for such a long time, and those players didn't want to wait for such a long time either.

If you don’t believe it, try it. If you don’t issue tasks to the players for two years, what do you think will happen to the players?

Jia Xu also saw Liu Xie's dilemma. Although he didn't know the relationship between Liu Xie and the players, he vaguely understood that the players could not stay idle.

There is some kind of transaction between Liu Xie and these players. This transaction most likely requires Liu Xie to hand it over to the players in the form of tasks.

Actually, there is one thing that Jia Xu did not say. It would be feasible if the players were only allowed to exterminate the Xiongnu.

After all, players will not suffer real casualties and will be resurrected if they die. The court only needs to prepare some food and grass.

However, Jia Xu also saw the shortcomings of the players, that is, the collective strength of the players is relatively weak, and there are too few cavalry.

If you rely on your legs to go to the grassland to find trouble with the Xiongnu and Xianbei, you are simply looking for trouble for yourself.

The grassland is no better than Yongzhou. There is vast flat land as far as the eye can see. The cavalry comes and goes like the wind. You chase them with your legs? Stop making trouble.

Therefore, in Jia Xu's opinion, it is not suitable for players to go to the grassland. They should go to the Central Plains and go to the Guandong princes to cause trouble for them.

What's more, in Jia Xu's mind, there is someone more suitable than the player to cause trouble for the Huns.

This person is Ma Teng.

"Jia Aiqing, I don't want to wait. I, a big man, have always wanted revenge and repay kindness. I don't like to put today's revenge to tomorrow." Liu Xie frowned and said.

"I understand, but what I mean is that there are some things that your Majesty does not necessarily need to do personally." Jia Xu smiled slightly and looked at Liu Xie.

"Gene Era"

"Huh? Jia Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" Liu Xie heard Jia Xu's words and was a little confused. What do you mean by something that you don't have to do yourself?

"Your Majesty, isn't Ma Teng already in Chang'an? Don't he and Han Sui still have hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands? We can let them go." Jia Xu said calmly with a smile on his face.

"Ma Teng?" Liu Xie hadn't reacted at all when he heard Jia Xu continuing to speak.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui are located in Liangzhou. Liangzhou produces horses, and most of their sergeants are cavalry. It is best to use them to deal with the Huns."

"Another point is that we don't know whether Ma Teng and Han Sui sincerely submit to the imperial court, but regardless of whether they sincerely submit to the imperial court, they will never hand over the army in their hands easily."

"Since they won't hand it over willingly, they will definitely become a cancer on the big man's body. And with soldiers in hand, they will have the confidence to fight against the imperial court."

"So, we need to think of a way to test whether Ma Teng and the others truly belong, and at the same time weaken the military power in their hands."

"The best way is to let them conquer the Huns. After all, the Huns have enmity against us, just as much as Ma Teng and the others."

Jia Xu spoke in detail, and Liu Xie also listened carefully.

But after listening to it, Liu Xie thought it was a good idea, but other people, such as the courtiers and players like Li Jichen present, all had an idea.

The name of the Poison Master is indeed well-deserved. He kills people with a borrowed knife, brother.

Zhong Yao's eyes lit up when he heard Jia Xu's words. He also took a step forward and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia is right! Moreover, not only can we let Ma Teng and Han Sui come, we can also do the same.

Pass this imperial edict to other princes. "

"Huh?" Liu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard Zhong Yao's words.

The other princes, who are the other princes? Currently, the only ones bordering the northern grasslands are Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yan, a Black Mountain bandit.

Liu Xie didn't know whether Zhang Yan would listen to the imperial edict, but Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan would be more or less worried.

Zhang Yan was a rebel, but Liu Xie remembered that Zhang Yan had taken refuge with Boss Cao in the later period, and was considered to have been recruited by the court.

If that's the case, then Boss Cao can recruit Zhang Yan, why can't he, the real emperor, do the same?

If Zhang Yan is recruited, then Bingzhou will become his own territory to a certain extent. With Zhang Yan and this group of Black Mountain troops, the remaining minions in Bingzhou can be easily pacified.

Although Bingzhou is poor, it is one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty after all! And if he does not go to recapture Zhang Yan, then in Bingzhou, wouldn’t Zhang Yan’s soldiers and horses take advantage of Yuan Shao, the young man, and the scheming boss Cao?

No, Liu Xie couldn't do this kind of thing of capitalizing on the enemy, so Liu Xie put the matter of recruiting Zhang Yan on his schedule at this time.

As for letting Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao send troops, it is not impossible.

Now the imperial court's hands are too short and there is no way to capture Jizhou and Youzhou, so the best thing is to let Jizhou and Youzhou continue to fight and not let Yuan Shao unify the north.

You must know that at this time, Gongsun Zan had been suppressed by Yuan Shao in Jicheng and could not move.

If at this time, as the emperor, Yuan Shao is forced to retreat and then send troops to attack the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it is not impossible.

If Yuan Shao doesn't listen, and he is labeled as a rebel, and then the whole world fights against him, Yuan Shao will definitely be in a hurry.
