After Liu Xie listened to what Zhong Yao and Jia Xu said, he had a deeper impression of the counselors of the Han Dynasty.

Generally speaking, none of these strategists are good.

Jia Xu wanted to kill people with a borrowed sword, so he asked Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou to send troops on behalf of the Han Dynasty to attack the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wusun and other grassland tribes. His good partner Zhong Yao went even further. He not only wanted to attack the Xianbei and Xiongnu in the west.

With Wusun, he didn't even want to let go of Wuhuan in the east.

Think about it, after all, beating one is a beating, beating two is also a beating. Anyway, it is not the imperial court sending troops to let the princes from all over the country fight to the death with the foreigners, so that they will not support themselves one by one.

Liu Xie suddenly felt that Jia Xu and Zhong Yao spoke well and were both talented people.

If it were him, he would choose to send troops, but his first thought would be to let the players take action. He would never think of letting the princes from all over the country do such dirty and tiring work.

When the princes send out troops, they can take a break and develop their internal affairs.

Players just regard the Three Kingdoms as a game and don't care too much about the development of people's livelihood in this era, but as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, they must care.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie was considering whether he should open up a number of quotas for life-related players. After these people came in, they would not have to go to the battlefield and would be allowed to develop people's livelihood in the Han Dynasty.

The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.

Although it is said that players cannot be used to bring the Han Dynasty into an industrial era, it can always improve the living standards of some people.

For example, recruit a group of players who are good at history and have some craftsmanship, and ask them to make curved shaft plows and waterwheels. This can greatly speed up the efficiency of people's planting.

For another example, the armor-making craftsmen from a certain website were brought in and asked them to take my big Han craftsmen to build a new type of armor, including iron pagodas and walking armors.

At that time, Liu Xie wanted to see who among the princes from the Three Kingdoms period would dare to challenge him.

During the Three Kingdoms period, due to the limitations of handicrafts and manufacturing, soldiers generally wore half-length armor, and only the torso had iron armor. The rest of the armor was mostly cloth.

Some elite soldiers, such as Boss Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Xiliang Army's Flying Bear Army, although they wear full body armor, due to the backward iron smelting technology, they are really not as good as the manufacturing techniques of later generations.

If the infantry armor, which is the pinnacle of infantry, is combined with the unique martial arts of this world, Liu Xie is confident that the combat level of the local soldiers of the Han Dynasty will be improved by at least two levels.

This is just the development of cold weapons. Liu Xie seems to have reached another level, which is to develop gunpowder.

There is no need to make it too high-end, just raise it to the level of being cute.

When the time comes, a row of musketeers will be in front of the formation. They will look at the cavalry rushing over from the opposite side and shoot in three steps to make the opponent lie down.

How do you say that? No matter how good your kung fu is, you will be knocked down by a brick. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife.

According to the development of history, the alchemists in the Qin and Han Dynasties liked to use gunpowder. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the most basic gunpowder was available, which was used in actual combat during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

In other words, the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty essentially provided the soil for the development of thermal weapons.

Liu Xie still remembered that during the previous encirclement and suppression of Li Jue and Guo Si, some players made explosives themselves and used them to blow up the Xiliang Army's camp.

Although the system warned about this behavior later, that was because this thing was created by players and was a bit out of date. Therefore, the system issued a warning for the sake of balance.

But what if we let the players guide us, and then let the craftsmen of the Three Kingdoms era make gunpowder on their own?

Can you manage this system?

I have to say that Liu Xie seems to have found a good way to fix system bugs.

Liu Xie sat in a high position, lowered his head and thought slowly, feeling a little dazed in his thinking, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This frightened the other people in the hall.

The emperor is not stupid, is he? What is the stimulation? This is the true thought of the courtiers at this moment.

Especially Zhong Yao and Jia Xu, they were frightened.

Because the emperor became like this after hearing their plan.

If Liu Xie really becomes stupid and suddenly becomes insane, then the two of them will definitely take the blame.

Therefore, Zhong Yao and Jia Xu were a little panicked.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Zhong Yao shouted tentatively.

Liu Xie, who was lost in thought, only came back to his senses when he heard Zhong Yao's words.

"Ah? Zhong Aiqing, your name is me?" Liu Xie stretched out his hand to wipe the non-existent saliva around his mouth and looked at Zhong Yao and asked.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Zhong Yao asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. I was just thinking about something and got a little lost in my thoughts."

Liu Xie waved his hand to indicate that he had no problem. Then Liu Xie calmed down and said to Zhong Yao: "Zhong Aiqing, I heard that Zhong Aiqing has the ability to stabilize the country. Now that our big man has recovered Yongzhou, can Zhong Aiqing do it?"

A good strategy?"

When Zhong Yao heard Liu Xie's words, he was stunned. What was the situation? Why did he suddenly ask about Yongzhou? Aren't we talking about Xianbei?

However, Zhong Yao is a loyal minister, a very loyal minister, and a very capable one.

After hearing Liu Xie's words, he just thought for a moment and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Yongzhou is newly attached, and the people's minds are settled."

"Before, Li Jue and Guo Si and his like only knew how to fight for power and profit, and did not care about the people. As a result, the people of Yongzhou were withered and the people were in dire straits. Fortunately, your majesty used force to regain Yongzhou. Only then did the people escape from the sea of ​​misery."

"Now, I believe that we should take relatively gentle measures towards Yongzhou, restore people's farming as soon as possible, and restore the people's livelihood in Yongzhou."

Ranwen

"In addition, Yongzhou borders Sili to the east, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang people to the north, and Hanzhong to the south. The geographical location is very important. It is not only the western barrier of Sili, but also the front station for the northern expedition to Xianbei and the south to Hanzhong. Therefore,

I think that a capable minister should be sent to take charge of the land of Yongzhou." Zhong Yao perfectly reflected the importance of Yongzhou in one breath.

After hearing this, the ministers present could not help but nod.

Liu Xie also nodded secretly, and then he continued to ask: "So, Zhong Aiqing, do you have anyone to recommend?"

"Uncle Dong Cheng may be the governor of Yongzhou." Zhong Yao thought about it and said to Liu Xie.

After looking at Zhong Yao, the land of Yongzhou is too important. It is not only the barrier of Luoyang, but also the frontier for conquering Xianbei and Hanzhong. After the imperial court takes Yongzhou, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction with other forces. Not to mention the war, it will be a small friction.

Absolutely indispensable.

Dong Cheng is the uncle of the state and the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong. His girl is also Liu Xie's concubine and a die-hard royalist. Everyone is relieved to let him go to Yongzhou.

In addition to Dong Cheng's loyalty, he also has abilities. In the past, Dong Cheng was a member of the Xiliang Army. He had been on the battlefield and knew military affairs. But now he is working as a civilian official. It can be said that Dong Cheng is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.

"No, Uncle Guo is still in charge in Wancheng. In the future, Uncle Guo will not be missing from the court." Liu Xie shook his head.

"Then Zhang Yang, the governor of Hedong and the Marquis of Anyi, may be the governor of Yongzhou." Zhong Yao heard Liu Xie's words and felt that what Liu Xie said made sense. After all, Dong Cheng was also needed in the court, so he mentioned Zhang Yang again.
