More than ten days later, Qin Qi called his advisers, especially strategic civil and military officials, to the general's mansion for a meeting.

Kuai Yue rushed back from Nanyang to Xiakou to attend the meeting, and Lu Su rushed back from Ruxuwu, together with Xun Yu, Xi Zhong, Liu Ba and Liu Ye from Xiakou City.

Only Xun You on the peninsula couldn't make it back.

"Okay, everyone is here. Only Gongda is on the peninsula and cannot rush back. The experts in military strategy under my command have gathered together to formulate long-term strategic goals for our Xiakou Army."

Qin Qi said.

Get up and walk towards the wall.

brush!

Open the curtain.

A huge map appeared in everyone's eyes.

Except for Xi Zhong and Xun Yu, everyone here had seen such a large map for the first time.

Shocking!

surprise!

This is a global map, very detailed, with place names marked on it.

The big names sitting here are all experts who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. They see that the Han Dynasty only had a little territory.

It doesn't feel real.

How is that possible!

Isn’t the Central Plains Dynasty the center of the world?

Lu Su, Liu Ba, Liu Ye, and Kuai Yue couldn't believe their eyes. They thought they had seen it wrong. The map completely overturned their ideas.

"Don't be surprised, everyone. This map is real, not fictitious. Outside the Han Dynasty,

There are many other empires. However, I hope that the information about this map will be kept secret for the time being and not leaked."

Qin Qi said.

"The world is very big. We must look at the world and not be limited to the territory of the Central Plains. Outside the Central Plains Dynasty,

There are still many places that we need to conquer, open up territories, and make them the territory of the empire.

This is an arduous task and a long-term strategic goal, and everyone must be mentally prepared."

Qin Qi said.

Several people's eyes sparkled.

Qin Qi pointed at the peninsula.

"We have already captured the peninsula. Xun You and Zhao Yun cooperated with the navy to capture it last year.

It became the Chinese original map. The purpose of taking the peninsula at that time was to obtain horses and provide war horses for the Xiakou military."

Qin Qi said.

"According to the detailed information I have received, the emperor is terminally ill and may not live long.

Once the emperor dies, the world will be in turmoil. I don't need to say this, everyone knows it.

When the time comes, those individuals with good intentions will jump out one after another and cause turmoil in the Central Plains.

What about me? I have no ability to save the Han Dynasty. I can only protect myself and ensure that the people in the area are not ravaged by war.

Give the people a peaceful living environment. If we want to protect the people within our jurisdiction, we must improve the strength of our Xiakou Army.

Otherwise, we will only become the target of conquest by other princes. Now there are two places we must capture. Please discuss how to operate."

After Qin Qi finished speaking, she pointed to Liaodong, Xuantu, and Jiangdong.

"My lord, can you confirm the time of the emperor's death?"

Xi Zhongdao.

"According to the information I have received, the emperor has a maximum of two months to live, and it is initially estimated that he will die in April."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, we cannot touch Jiangdong for the time being. In any case, it is still ruled by the Han Dynasty.

Once Jiangdong is captured, we Xiakou will become the target of public criticism. Even if the emperor dies, there is still a process.

Don't act too hastily. Jiangdong can wait for a while and wait until there is an opportunity to send troops again. The two counties of Liaodong and Xuantu are

At this time, it was not under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and there were no officials to take charge of the work. You can take advantage of the emperor's death to

No one in the court cares about other things. It is completely feasible for us to send troops to capture Liaodong and Xuantu."

Xun Yu said.

"The question is how many soldiers and horses there are on the peninsula. Once we capture Liaodong and Xuantu, we will face Wuhuan.

The threat from grassland races such as Xianbei and Goguryeo may become a burden to the Xiakou Army. Now that we have captured the peninsula,

These two places, Lelang, have completely solved the problem of the Xiakou military's lack of war horses. You can slow down for a while.

When we have enough soldiers and horses, we can capture Liaodong and Xuantu."

Liu Badao.

"Through the efforts of Gongda, Zhao Yun and others, on the peninsula, people from Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou and other places have

A large number of disaster victims and refugees were relocated to the peninsula. Now the peninsula is resettling disaster victims, with about 1.2 million refugees.

Including the original natives of Benhan, Mahan, Chenhan, and the population of Lelang County, the population of the entire peninsula reaches about 1.4 million.

There are 5,000 infantry on the peninsula and a cavalry division of more than 20,000 people."

Xi Zhongdao.

"With 25,000 soldiers and horses, there won't be much problem in capturing Liaodong. But after we capture it, how to resist the invasion of the surrounding grassland races is a big problem."

Kuai Yue said.

"Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to defend the peninsula, Liaodong, and Xuantu.

They are surrounded by grassland cavalry, and the geographical environment is flat, which is convenient for cavalry to attack. Once the Wuhuan people,

If the Xianbei people and the Goguryeo people unite, we will be in trouble and it will involve the Xiakou military forces."

Lu Su said.

"Everyone, don't forget that our navy can fight across the sea. We can transport troops from the sea to attack coastal areas.

Gongda and Zhao Yun, with the assistance of Gan Ning, have carried out several landing operations in the northeastern region.

Several victories were achieved and a large number of horses were captured. This combat mode is unrealistic for others.

For our military in Xiakou, it is not a big problem."

Xi Zhongdao.

Fight across the sea!

Suddenly a window opened, giving several big shots some ideological inspiration.

"My lord, I think we can concentrate our forces to capture Liaodong and Xuantu counties, and then send troops to raid the northeastern region.

Completely clean up the grassland races gathered in the northeast. Then set up defenses along the Liao River to prevent Youzhou from invading.

We just need to defend our territory and wait until the time is right before sending troops to Youzhou."

Xun Yu said.

"Western Liaoning is Gongsunzan's territory. Now Gongsunzan is conquering Zhang Chun. Zhang Chun lost troops and generals in the process.

We are recovering at this time and are temporarily unable to send troops to Liaodong. We can indeed take this opportunity to sweep the northeastern region."

Xi Zhongdao.

"How many soldiers and horses should be dispatched to the peninsula to participate in the Liaodong and Xuantu battles?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, in order to ensure safety, I would like to dispatch Huang Zhong's 20,000 archer division and Xiakou Zhoucang's 20,000 Chinese infantry division.

It is enough to cope with unexpected events. After the two places are captured, some generals will be transferred back."

Xi Zhongdao.

"Okay! Transfer Huang Zhong's archer division to the peninsula. The archer division has been training for several years. It's time to show its strength.

Not only Zhou Cang's infantry division, but also Xu Chu and Taishi Ci were transferred to the peninsula, leaving Taishi Ci in Liaodong.

A cavalry division has been trained. The start of the war is tentatively scheduled for May, and the court cannot take care of us at this time."

Qin Qi said.

See everyone agrees.

"However, after taking Liaodong and Xuantu counties, we still lack a master who understands both military affairs and internal affairs.

Gongda is good at military strategy, but not good at internal affairs. After winning Liaodong and Xuantu, Gongda will be transferred back to Xiakou. Which of you is willing to go to the peninsula to take charge of affairs?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, I am willing to humble myself!"

Liu Badao.

"My lord, I have only been in Xiakou for a short period of time and have not made much achievements. I am willing to go to the peninsula to take charge of the work."

Liu Ye said.

"My lord, I am willing to go!"

Kuai Yue said.
Chapter completed!
