After convincing Ma Chao again, Liu Xie confirmed that Ma Chao was now more calm than before, and he officially began to arrange the mobilization of the army.

Since the autumn harvest is approaching at this time, the princes of Guandong have begun to look at him. Liu Xie cannot transfer the players to Xiliang. After all, the task pressure of the players is already very high. They need to face the task from Bingzhou, all the way to Yi

The princes of the state.

Almost the entire east side of the area controlled by the Han Dynasty was filled with enemies, so Liu Xie had no intention of letting players participate in the Battle of Xiliang from the beginning.

If players cannot mobilize, then Liu Xie can only send local soldiers from the Three Kingdoms.

These people cannot be resurrected after death like players. Therefore, this requires that the troops heading to Xiliang cannot suffer a large number of casualties.

This indirectly requires that the general's ability to command troops must be very high. The ability to command troops must be very strong.

Strictly speaking, Ma Chao is not suitable to be the general because he is too young and has a very hot temper. If he is allowed to serve as the general, he may fall into Han Sui's plan to provoke the general.

But considering that Ma Chao is the eldest son of Ma Teng, he also has a great reputation in Xiliang, and is even called General Tian by the Qiang people. Let Ma Chao go, he can make an emergency landing on the Qiang tribe, and he can also recruit Han Sui to surrender.

Descend to death.

Therefore, Liu Xie assigned Ma Chao with relatively stable Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and counselors, and even sent out Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

This shows how much Liu Xie values ​​Xiliang.

Not only that, the soldiers sent were also elite. You must know that whether it is Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, or Xu Huang, the soldiers they led were all new troops formed by Liu Xie after he returned to Luoyang.

These soldiers are almost all Liu Xie's bodyguards. They are top notch in terms of their personal combat effectiveness and the cooperation between the legions.

In addition, they have been training day and night since they were formed. It can be said that they are elite soldiers themselves.

Perhaps the only shortcoming is that they have not actually been on the battlefield.

Liu Xie also intended to let these elite soldiers go to the battlefield to hone their skills. After all, elite soldiers who have never been on the battlefield cannot be considered true warriors.

Therefore, this time in the Battle of Xiliang, Liu Xie wanted to train his troops and generals more.

As for whether it is safe to do so, Liu Xie thinks that with a super luxurious lineup like Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong, there is no way he will lose.

It's just a question of how many casualties there will be in the end.

After considering this, at the court meeting the next day, Liu Xie issued an order to attack Xiliang.

When they first heard about this decree, some ministers expressed their incomprehension, especially uncle Dong Cheng, Tai Fu Yang Biao, Zhang Fu Wan, Chariot and Cavalry General Yang Feng, and others.

It was clear that a war between the imperial court and the princes of Guandong was imminent, how could they divide their forces to fight Han Sui at this time?

It is better to concentrate our forces and annihilate the Kwantung princes first, and then send troops westward to defeat Han Sui, recapture Xiliang, and avenge General Ma Teng.

However, among the courtiers, there are also people who understand, such as Zhang Yang, who understands clearly.

As a good friend of Yuan Shao when he was young, he knew very well that Yuan Shao most likely instigated the Han Sui incident so that he could insert a sharp knife into the back of the imperial court.

The empress was in the most critical situation. She could either use Han Sui to attract the attention of the court so that she could escape easily, or, when the two sides were fighting hard to separate each other, let Han Sui lead troops to attack the court so that the top and bottom of the court could not see each other.

In this case, why not remove Han Sui, an unstable factor, before starting a war with Yuan Shao?

Even if they were suppressed by Yuan Shao and others in the early stage because of this, they must first deal with the threat from the rear.

Therefore, when Liu Xie proposed to destroy Han Sui first, Zhang Yang expressed his support.

However, these are of no concern to Liu Xie. He has already thought about it before. It can be said that the players have an absolute advantage against the Guandong princes.

After all, the current players are not weak in strength, and are even more elite than the elite soldiers in the hands of some princes.

With the players in front of us, the threat from the Kanto princes is not great.

In this case, Liu Xie would be free to take care of Han Sui.

At this time, Han Sui only had a dozen or two hundred thousand troops at his disposal. The necessary defense force for these people to fight against him was only around 150,000 at best.

Even less.

He sent a super luxurious team like Ma Chao and others, and he already looked up to Han Sui very much.

Not to mention whether the soldiers are at the same level, but the generals leading the troops are not at the same level.

It can be said that whether it is Ma Chao or Zhao Yun, if you pick any one of them, they will crush the other generals.

On my side, except for the lack of people, it can be said that there is no weakness at all.

In Liu Xie's view, the issue of numbers is the one that has the least influence on the outcome of this battle.

As a result, under Liu Xie's strong support, a super luxurious team with Ma Chao as the main general, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang as deputy generals, Zhang Xiu as the vanguard, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong as military advisors was formally formed.

Ma Chao led 50,000 troops, sent troops to Luoyang, and began to gather towards Wuwei in Yongzhou.

At the same time, Liu Xie directly leaked the matter to the outside world, and he did not care at all that the princes would know about it.

Even Liu Xie was well prepared. He was waiting for the princes to take the initiative to attack him after they found out.

He planned to wear down the strength of the princes at several passes first, so as not to fight one by one. Liu Xie planned to just wait for work and defeat the coalition forces of the princes at the pass.

At that time, I only need to send troops to take over their territory, and there is no need to attack the cities one by one.

In this case, the livelihood of the people in other areas of the Han Dynasty can be reduced.

After all, post-war reconstruction also requires money and time. If you have that time, you might as well strengthen your team and build some warships.

Liu Xie's ambitions were not limited to the land of Han Dynasty. He wanted many other things. For example, he would not let go of any of the small islands in the east.

But if you want to get to that island, you must have a strong navy and build many warships.

All of these require a lot of money, so Liu Xie doesn't want to destroy all the cities within the Han Dynasty and then spend money to rebuild them.

"Accepting the order from heaven, the emperor said: Han Sui of Xiliang has been favored by the king in this life, but he does not want to repay him. He listens to traitors, gathers troops to rebel, and kills important officials of the court. The emperor is angry and wants to attack him!"

"We have specially ordered Ma Chao, the commander of the Yulin Guards, to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Han Sui! We will not retaliate until we defeat him!"

"Order General Xu Huang, the lieutenant in the forest, Zhao Yun, the lieutenant in the tiger camp, and Zhang Xiu, the Marquis of Wancheng, as deputy officers. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong will be worshiped as military advisors and assist Ma Chao on the left to attack Han Sui together!"

At the school grounds outside Luoyang City, Liu Xie was wearing a military uniform that could only be worn during court meetings. He looked at the generals gathered in the school grounds and asked Ji Huai to read out his imperial edict loudly.
