After solving the problems of Xun Yu and Guo Jia one after another, Yuan Shu wanted to see if the other three people were alright.
"Your Majesty, now that Jiaozhou has been decided, so many troops and horses cannot be used there. Should we allow them to return to Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places as appropriate?"
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu and directly raised the situation of Jiaozhou. Now that Jiaozhou has been decided, we cannot leave too many soldiers and horses there, otherwise it will be too far away from China. If Zhao Tuo, who supports his troops and respects himself, appears, it will be troublesome.
Already.
"You are right, but who do you think is appropriate to keep there?"
Yuan Shu naturally knew that Jiaozhou was a bit remote, but now there was a problem with who should be kept there.
"It all depends on your Majesty. Both Zang Ba and Zhang Ya are capable of the job. It just depends on who you trust more. If it were me, I would still recommend General Zhang Ya to garrison in Jiaozhou. After all, he is already among the top ten.
Huge deserves to suffer some hardships."
Jushou thought for a moment, and then suggested that Zhang Zhi stay in Jiaozhou. After all, he is now one of the ten tiger generals known to the world. The greater his fame, the greater his responsibility. It would be a bit unkind to let Zang Ba stay in Jiaozhou.
"Well, that's what I think too. Zhang Zha is a person I trust very much. With him in charge of Jiaozhou, there will never be any problems."
In fact, Yuan Shu was thinking about Zhang Jaw. After all, you are one of the Ten Tiger Generals, and Zhang Jiao's loyalty has reached the level of a dead soldier. It is absolutely impossible for him to betray you, so you can rest assured if you leave him there.
"If there's anything else, if not, let's pass the meal around and let's all eat together."
After looking at a few people, he realized that there were a lot of things to talk about today, and everyone must be tired, so he directly suggested that everyone eat.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, the five of them also nodded. Although they often had meals together in the past, their identities have changed now.
Yuan Shu is not only their lord but also the princess of the world. The emperor of the Chinese Empire can now be as close as them, which is considered an honor for them.
"Dian Wei, pass on the meal."
"promise."
After the meal, Xun Yu once again went to the book the next day to announce his proposal to sell Yan Yin. This time, with advance communication, Jushou Tian Feng and Kuai Yue both agreed, and so the first batch of Yan Yin was sold.
The work was handed over to Xun Yu.
After the Yanyin Incident, Guo Jia's proposal for craftsman camps and shipyards was also approved. After the decree was promulgated, China fell into an action to restore its vitality. At the same time, the national policy of emigrating to the grasslands beyond the Great Wall planned by Jushu also began to be implemented.
,
The first group of 100,000 Youqing people organized by Yanxu and the people of Wuzhou embarked on the journey north under the escort of 20,000 soldiers. In Youzhou, the 50,000 Youzhou people organized by Xunchen set out together and came to Wuzhou first.
Huan grassland,
The grasslands began to be burned, cultivated land was established, and towns were built. At the same time, the production resources prepared by Xun Chen were continuously exported beyond the Great Wall to help the Chinese people subdue the grasslands with manpower.
As time goes by, everything in China is developing prosperously, and Xun You and Zhao Yun, who are conquering the grasslands in the north, are also reporting good news one after another.
Most of the Xianbei grassland has now been conquered by them. At this time, the Xianbei tribe is either lingering or has left the Xianbei grassland to avoid the attack of the Han cavalry and wait until the Han retreat before returning to the grassland.
Just when Yuan Shu was carrying out drastic reforms, Jia Xu's telegram was transmitted through space to the capital.
"Your Majesty, I have come to report from Yizhou that the Kushan Empire is sending more troops to the border and may attack China."
In the court hall, Guo Jia, the Minister of War, directly reported the news to Yuan Shu.
"The Kushan Empire?"
When Yuan Shu heard Guo Jia's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but was stunned. During the Han Dynasty, there were four major powers on earth, Parthia, Rome, Kushan and Han Dynasty. Now that he had just pacified the territory of Han Dynasty, the Kushan Empire had increased its troops.
The border moves are definitely a big challenge for the new China.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
Yuan Shu glanced at the civil and military personnel below.
"Your Majesty, I think that now that China is newly established and all its wastes are prosperous, it is not suitable for a head-on battle with Kuishang. We can strengthen the defense of Yizhou while sending envoys out of Yizhou to Guishang to express goodwill to them."
Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu. He was now in charge of the national economy. The salt monopoly that had just been implemented had not had much effect. If this led to a war with Kushan, he really didn't know where he would come from to support the new war.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but frown, then stepped forward and saluted Yuan Shu.
"Word."
Yuan Shu nodded to Guo Jia and signaled him to speak if he had anything to say.
"Your Majesty, our new dynasty has just been established. If we show our weakness to the enemy now, it will definitely embolden the Kushan people's arrogance. If they think that we are weak, they will definitely send troops to attack.
So now we must attack resolutely, take advantage of their unstable footing, directly eat up their frontline troops, and then withdraw their troops and return.
In this way, the enemy will not be able to figure out our reality and will definitely hesitate, and if he wants to start a war, he will have to wait for at least a while."
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, everyone in the court looked puzzled. Now their army is conquering the Xianbei grassland in the north, which has involved huge manpower, material and financial resources.
If this opens up a second battlefield and starts a war with the equally powerful Kushan Empire, once the enemy is not frightened, it will be difficult for him.
"Your Majesty, I think Fengxiao's proposal needs to be considered. It can be resisted but cannot actively seek war. Otherwise, the Kushan Empire may have just increased its troops and deployed troops, but now it will evolve into a real all-out war."
Kuai Yue glanced at Guo Jia, then moved forward and saluted Yuan Shu.
"Your Majesty, I think the proposal proposed by the Minister of War is feasible. The Kushan Empire is powerful, and it can be said that it is not inferior to us in China. In the previous dynasty, the Kushan army also invaded the Han Dynasty, but they were beaten and abandoned their armor. This proves that they are jackals.
generation,
If you show weakness now, they will definitely lead to a full-scale attack. The so-called strike first and strike later will be controlled by others.
Rather than waiting for them to test us, it is better to fight out resolutely, defend the enemy outside the country's gates, and destroy the city in the area where the enemy is stationed. This is the best strategy."
Tian Feng thought about it for a while, and finally chose to support Guo Jia's suggestion. He must not reveal any weakness to the ambitious people, otherwise he will be attacked by them the strongest, and he must give them a decisive blow.
"Please note, do you have any suggestions?"
Hearing that the people below were all supportive, Yuan Shu actually had his own ideas, but he still decided to listen to what Ju Shou had to say.
"Your Majesty, judging from the overall situation, I do not recommend fighting. After all, we have just experienced turmoil. What the world needs most now is to recuperate. It is best not to start a war if we can avoid it.
But as Feng Xiao and Yuan Hao said, the Kushan Empire's ambitions are so ambitious that if they are not given a blow, it is very likely that they will send out all-out troops to attack us.
It is a good saying to defend the enemy from outside the country, and I support fighting."
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu. The current situation is that if you don't fight the opponent, you may bully him. If you hit him, the opponent may cry and cry. It's all a gamble. It's not as good as sending troops yourself.
"Well, Meng De, what do you think?"
Yuan Shuchong nodded to Jushou, and finally turned his attention to Cao Cao. He wanted to hear what the most powerful monarch in the Three Kingdoms period would think.
"I dare not lie."
Hearing Yuan Shu ask his opinion, Cao Cao was also stunned. You must know that although he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he is still an outsider to the new dynasty. He would ask himself about such an important matter.
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. Now is the new dynasty, and what is being decided is the future of the Chinese people. Just speak freely."
Looking at Cao Cao, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile at him and told him to just say whatever he wanted.
"Since His Majesty said so, I can speak freely."
Yuan Shu must have wanted him to express his opinion when he said this, and it would be inappropriate for him to make Yuan Shu the emperor's face in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
"Well, it would be nice if you have anything to say."
Yuan Shu nodded to Cao Cao, indicating that it would be fine if he had something to say.
"The meaning of your lords is very clear now. In fact, it is a matter of the attitude of the Kushan Empire. I think these are not problems. The Kushan Empire who dares to increase troops on the border must want to attack China. Facing such people, we must use all our strength.
Fight, don't give them the slightest chance,
If China wants to expand outward, there are only three ways, one is to go north, one is to the Western Regions, and the third is to attack the Kushan Empire through Yizhou.
Since the enemy is now at your door, then fight it out. Master Tian Feng is right to say that you must defend the enemy outside the country's gates and destroy the city in the area where the enemy is stationed.
It is most suitable for us to put the war outside China, and we cannot retreat if we fight. We must tighten our belts to fight and win the Kushan Empire."
Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shu, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I understand, let's retreat from the court temporarily."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu frowned slightly and directly announced his resignation.
