Lu Xuan looked at Jia Xu who stood up and asked, "Wen He, what suggestions do you have?"
Jia Xu said: "Although I serve as the Crown Prince and Tutor, Tianzhu is attacking and a war is about to break out in the Western Regions. Can I be allowed to stay and participate in this battle?"
Lu Yu became excited after hearing this.
He also wants to join the war!
In other words, he also wants to go to the battlefield and see what real battlefield fighting is like?
The war in the Western Region was his opportunity.
Lu Yu's eyes were bright and he said loudly: "Father, I sincerely ask you to participate in the battle in the Western Regions. Although I am not very old, I have traveled to many places, seen bandits, and encountered fights. However, I I have never been in a war, so please allow me to do so."
Lu Xuan looked at Jia Xu and Lu Yu, weighing in his mind.
Lu Xuan hoped that Lu Yu would supervise the country.
This is the way of the future.
However, Lu Yu participated in the war and saw the situation on the battlefield, which allowed Lu Yu to grow up faster so that he could start to intervene in domestic government affairs.
In fact, Lu Xuan is not worried about anything in the country now. Government affairs were headed by Zhang Zhao, but the civilian officials were only responsible for governing the country. The military power of the army has always been firmly controlled by Lu Xuan. With the army here, there won't be any problems.
Lu Xuan stared at Lu Yu and asked, "Yu'er, do you really want to stay?"
Lu Yu said firmly: "If I have never seen a battlefield or participated in it, and my mind is full of the scenes of singing and dancing in Nanjing, I will not be able to understand the difficulty of the frontline battlefield, let alone the difficulties on the battlefield. Please ask Father With permission, let me stay here and join the war with my father."
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Yu and expressed his approval.
During this period of time, he has been observing Lu Yu. This kid is very smart, reacts quickly, and is sincere in dealing with people, but without losing his mind. The key is to have determination, vision, and your own ideas.
It is indeed not easy to achieve this at such a young age.
Cao Cao thought about Cao Ang and Cao Pi and compared them with Lu Yu, feeling a little helpless. His son Cao Ang was broad-minded and down-to-earth, and could be said to be both civil and military. However, Cao Ang lacks the city government and is too simple. Although it has been changing, it has not had much effect.
Cao Pi was young, very smart, and capable, but Cao Pi was not broad-minded enough, and he was too thoughtful and cunning, and tended to be ruthless.
It would be most suitable if the two of them mix together.
Pity!
As for Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and others, they are too young and have no chance at all for the time being.
After listening to Lu Yu's words, Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Since you insist on staying, then stay. In addition, as the crown prince and tutor, Jia Qing also stays with Yu'er and teaches him knowledge on the battlefield."
"I obey!"
Jia Xu answered immediately.
Lu Yu said happily: "Thank you, father."
Lu Xuan nodded and continued: "Let's get down to business, what do you think about the war in the Western Region?"
Guo Jia took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, it's actually not difficult."
Lu Xuan asked: "What do Fengxiao plan to do?"
Guo Jia looked serious and said: "There is civil strife in the countries in the Western Regions. If the Ming Dynasty's national power is weak, it will not be able to intervene, and it is impossible to intervene. However, the Ming Dynasty's national power is powerful, and the Western Regions also know the strength of the Ming Dynasty."
"Once the small countries in the Western Region cannot stop Tianzhu's offensive, they will definitely come for help."
"But currently, the Western Region is in chaos, but not chaotic enough. Now that we are bringing troops to the Western Region, it will make the small countries in the Western Region think that we are going to invade, which will easily cause panic among the people in the Western Region and make many people resist us."
"I suggest that we wait and see what happens."
"The first benefit is what I just mentioned. It reduces the hostility of the Western Region towards us and waits for them to send people to ask for help. We take the initiative to go and they take the initiative to ask for help. They are completely different concepts."
"The second benefit is that while we wait and see what happens, we can observe and understand Tianzhu's further strength, understand their fighting style, and how many people are hidden in secret, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."
"The third advantage is to take advantage of this period to quickly mobilize troops from all over the country. Tianzhu has a lot of troops and is not a small place like Japan, so I believe that this war will require at least 100,000 troops."
Guo Jia said: "To sum up, I suggest not to send troops for the time being and prepare for war with all our strength."
Xun Yu stroked his beard and said: "One more thing, we must vigorously promote the strength of the imperial court and explain the national power of the Ming Dynasty. Our people spread the news, and only when the countries in the Western Regions are facing desperate situations will they think of asking for help."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Mr. Only then can we find out the news.”
Xun Yu said: "This is the best."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "I think that in the Western Regions, someone needs to lurk there to manage the affairs of the Western Regions and further understand the situation. I, Cao Cao, am willing to sneak into the Western Regions myself first."
Lu Xuan asked: "Does my father-in-law understand the language of the Western Regions?"
"don't know!"
Cao Cao shook his head and answered.
Lu Xuan asked again: "Do you know the customs and customs of the Western Regions?"
"I don't understand either!"
Cao Cao shook his head again, and he took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, as long as we contact the local person in charge, I think it can still be done."
Lu Xuan denied: "Father-in-law, it's too dangerous. On the one hand, your image is too outstanding. You don't look like someone from the Western Regions. You can easily be stared at. On the other hand, you are old and cannot take risks. This is the most dangerous thing." The main point is. In this war, just stay with me, don’t even think about going to the front line."
"I obey!"
Cao Cao had no choice but to answer.
He wanted to go to the front line, but unfortunately, Lu Xuan was unwilling.
Guo Jia's eyes were extremely bright and he took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Western Regions in person. I will not go deep into the country. I will go to the country close to the border of Liangzhou. I don't plan to make any big moves after going there."
"When people in the Western Regions are in panic, the existence of the Ming Dynasty will be a life-saving straw for many people. There must be people from the Western Regions who are willing to gather here to get help from the Ming Dynasty and fight for resistance. I will gather these people."
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will protect your own safety."
Lu Xuan said: "Fengxiao, do you know the dangers here?"
"I understand!"
Guo Jia said without hesitation: "Although there is danger, danger contains opportunities. What's more, Taifu Jia has been deeply involved in Liangzhou for many years and also has intelligence in the Western Region. With these people, it is enough to operate."
Lu Xuan said: "Then it's settled."
"I obey!"
Guo Jia replied excitedly.
This time, he was extremely excited to have the pleasure of continuing to fight, especially going deep into the front lines. In the battle against Japan, although Tokugawa Ieyasu was powerful, in fact there was a huge disparity in strength between the Ming Dynasty and Japan. The battle between the two sides was completely overkill and not interesting at all.
Tianzhu's strength is no less than that of Ming Dynasty, which is interesting.
Lu Xuan nodded, and discussed with everyone the strategy of deploying troops, finalizing arrangements to mobilize elite soldiers from all over the country to gather in Liangzhou. Liangzhou's military strength is only 30,000. With only this elite group, more troops are needed.
