Liu Bei still couldn't figure out that the traitor in front of him had too tough attitude towards Qiang and Hu.
It has even surpassed the Nanman.
"Mang'er, during those days in Xuzhou, did you have conflicts with the Qiang and Hu?"
As soon as Liu Bei said this, he felt that all his cronies were looking at him as if they were looking at wisdom.
Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from the frontier. Even if the Qiang and Hu want to cause trouble to Liu Mang, they will be beyond their reach.
Liu Mang would not tell them that he had seen too many nomadic peoples harming the Central Plains.
During the Five Husbands' chaos in China, the Han people turned into two-legged sheep, allowing themselves to be slaughtered without any power to fight back.
The Mongols moved south, and Xiangyang City became a hell on earth!
The changes in the civil fort also left no grass growing wherever they passed!
The Qing army went south, and in the tenth day of Jiading, there were three massacres in Yangzhou!
As a Han Chinese, Liu Mang will never forget these hatreds.
"Dad, we can be moral when it comes to humans, but it's better to be physically liberated from animals."
Liu Mang said bluntly: "Qiang and Hu own war horses. When they mount the war horses, they transform from herdsmen into soldiers."
"It comes and goes like flying, and can invade our great people in the Central Plains at any time."
"On the other hand, we and other people need to protect their farmland. This is the basis for their survival. We can only let others slaughter us."
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this. He felt that his rebellious son's attitude towards fighting Qiang and Hu was somewhat similar to that of the white horse general Gongsun Bogui.
"Be obedient and let them be human beings again."
"If you go against the rules, those who act funny will be exterminated directly."
"Nowadays, these barbarians have no intention of living in peace with the Han people in the Central Plains."
A trace of killing intent flashed in Liu Mang's eyes. In order to prevent Wuhu from messing with China, he didn't mind solving the problem fundamentally.
"Brother, what Mang'er said is true."
Guan Yu said bluntly: "The dispute between Gongsun Bogui and Liu Yu is the best example."
"From the beginning to the end, Karasuma never thought of surrendering to my big man! Gongsun Bogui always suppressed them, leaving them without the strength to rebel."
"Liu Yu showed kindness, but in the end Karasuma still colluded with Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and other traitors!"
Zhang Fei yelled: "Wherever my eldest nephew says to hit, I, Old Zhang, will follow with my snake spear!"
After hearing this, Fazheng joked: "Yide, your snake spear is going to poke 365 holes in people again, isn't it?"
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and saw Liu Bei's concerns.
"Your Majesty, you have always had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but benevolence and righteousness are meant for treating your own people, not your enemies."
"The Liangzhou Rebellion has lasted for a hundred years, and the Han-Qiang conflict is now irreconcilable unless one side completely loses power."
Ma Chao agreed: "Your Majesty, we Han people in Liangzhou must hold our swords even in our sleep!"
"Because you never know when those Qiang people will come to plunder on war horses!"
"Liangzhou people long for peace, for men to farm and women to weave, for men to farm and women to weave, and for holding their loved ones to sleep soundly, instead of being precarious like now!"
"Even though I have great prestige among the Qiang people, when they rebel, they still don't care about my name, Ma Chao!"
What Ma Chao said was so true that Liu Bei couldn't help but think again.
When dealing with the Qiang people, we must not be as generous as Liu Yu, nor be like Gongsun Zan in exterminating them.
"This matter... still needs long-term consideration!"
"Cao Mengde has withdrawn the troops from Liangzhou!"
“Now that Liangzhou is under no one’s jurisdiction, only innocent people are suffering!”
Liu Bei sighed and said: "Although I am not talented, I am still willing to take over Liangzhou and find a place for the people to settle down!"
The sincerity of Liu Bei's words resonated with his subordinates.
Liu Mang whispered: "Second uncle, third uncle, did you see? My dad is performing again!"
"You obviously want the horse-producing land of Liangzhou, and you still pretend to be like that!"
Treason!
Liu Bei glared at Liu Mang and scolded: "As a father, this is your true love!"
"Fellow strategists, I hope you can discuss this with us. When the time is right, we will capture Liangzhou!"
Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the troops in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou still need to guard against Soochow and Cao Cao, so it is impossible to mobilize them."
"As for the 30,000 elite southern barbarians, although they are brave in battle, they do not understand military discipline and still need training."
"This battle still needs to be dominated by Yizhou soldiers and Xiliang cavalry."
Fazheng agreed: "As for military generals, they should be dominated by northerners such as the Five Tiger Generals."
"Yizhou generals have average equestrian skills and are weak against cavalry."
"Yun Chang, Yide, Meng Qi, and Han Sheng can all attack!"
"It's a pity that Zilong is missing! Otherwise, with the strength he had under Gongsun Zan, maybe he could..."
White horse obeys!
The world-famous light cavalry was finally defeated by Yuan Shao due to Yan Gang's poor command.
"In addition to pacifying Xiliang, we also need troops to guard Hanzhong to prevent Cao Cao from sneak attacks."
Lu Xun spread out the map, pointed to a place, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, all generals, please take a look."
"If our army takes Liangzhou, the Western Regions must not be forgotten either!"
"There are already thirty-six countries here. They have the Silk Road, which connects Daqin and Guishuang. They can exchange rare and precious treasures, which can be sold in the Central Plains."
"The Western Region has been away from my big man for too long, it's time to take it back!"
Lu Xun's words won Liu Mang's heart.
This is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and no inch of it should be missing!
"The glory of the Han Dynasty shines in the Western Regions and brings back the glory of the Silk Road. Otherwise, the Western Regions would only know that the Central Plains was occupied by Cao Cao!"
Liu Bei clapped his hands and said happily: "Mang'er, now Zhibaiqian has become popular in the Central Plains, has it arrived..."
No!
Zhuge Liang quickly reminded: "I hope your Majesty will stay calm! The currency victory has not yet reached the final stage!"
If Cao Cao cannot be made uncomfortable, Liu Bei will feel that he is at a disadvantage!
Then, he looked at Liu Mang pitifully.
"Dad, if you have something to say, don't be miserable!"
"Mang'er! You said that Cao Mengde has been free and easy for a year. As a father, I feel uncomfortable if I don't cause trouble for him!"
Seeing that his own father was still plotting against Cao Cao at his age.
Liu Mang sighed and looked at Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and Lu Xun.
"How long will it take for the three of you to assemble troops, train troops, and prepare food and fodder?"
"To be on the safe side, it will take at least half a year!"
As a great military and political genius, Zhuge Liang always spoke like this, and no one could refute him.
At this moment, Liu Bei felt as if it was a lifetime ago. It would only take half a year to prepare for a war!
When did his power become so powerful!
In this life, I finally fought a rich battle!
"Then you can't be idle during these six months!"
"Now that my father has spoken, we will create trouble for Cao Cao!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei rubbed his hands excitedly and asked: "Mang'er, please tell me quickly how to trouble Cao Aha? It's best to send him to the west directly!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other. It seemed like the eldest brother was addicted to beating Cao Cao!
Unfortunately, due to their age, it is impossible for the two of them to fight on the battlefield again.
Liu Mang slowly said three words - "If you want Cao Cao to create more obstacles, you must start the public opinion war first!"
Public opinion war?
Everyone looked at Liu Mang again!
