"oh?"
"sick?"
"It's really not the right time to get sick. In this way, let the imperial doctor go to the house to take a look. It is the time to hire people recently, and Dawei needs him!"
Cao Kang said to Ban Gu's son.
"yes!"
"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank the Emperor!"
The man nodded and stood back up.
"Dear ministers, we are already very passive now, so I have decided that we can no longer wait like this!"
"Hezhou is already a huge threat to us now. They will never think that we can still attack them on our own initiative!"
"I heard before that there was a saying circulating in our military camp, and I still regard it as a wise saying."
"The best defense is offense!"
"And this time we at Dawei are going to take the initiative like this!"
"General Liu Xiu personally led an army of 200,000 to Hezhou. As for the safety of the capital, we can gather the troops who were previously scattered in Xiazhou. In this way, the safety of the capital is safe and the army can completely relax. !”
"What do you think?"
Cao Kang asked everyone.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Liu Xiu at the front was speechless.
Cao Kang didn't know, but he knew that this sentence "The best defense is offense" came from Fan Hanzhong's mouth.
In the previous battle with Daqian in Daxia, it was precisely because of Fan Hanzhong's desperate fighting style that he was able to win all the way.
"this……"
"Your Majesty, Fan Hanzhong's 200,000 men are waiting at the ready. If we charge directly, we may not be able to match them."
"In the recent period, our men and horses have been exhausted from running around, and many people have been killed due to the plague. At this time, the morale has been lost. If we chase and face the difficulties now, it will be very difficult. .”
Liu Xiu said to Cao Kang with some hesitation.
Liu Xiu was also speechless now.
These emperors just slap their heads on their own and come up with whatever they think, without considering the actual situation at all.
I have two hundred thousand people under my command!
The random deployment of these two hundred thousand people will consume a lot of money!
We had just gone to have a fierce battle with Fan Hanzhong. Although we had just lost a game, we didn't suffer much loss. We were waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, but we had no choice but to come back because of the incident in Beijing.
It's good to come back. Ma Yaohan's remaining tens of thousands of horses actually ran away without even fighting. Although the siege of the capital was said to have been solved, for Liu Xiu and the others, their trip was actually in vain. .
After this back and forth, the previous food and grass were all used up.
Now the entire capital is almost exhausted, and the food and grass that can barely survive are all mobilized from the surrounding areas of Xiazhou.
With so many of my troops going on an expedition again, where will the food and grass come from?
If you say that when Ma Yaohan was just driven away, his morale was so high that he could launch a battle against Fan Hanzhong, but he was delayed because of the plague outside the city.
It was just a delay, and many people died because of it.
My own men have been complaining for a long time, and it would be unrealistic to ask them to go back the same way and fight again now.
"In my opinion, it is better to divide the troops into two groups. One group of troops will come from the west, led by the minister himself, and conduct a feint attack on Fan Hanzhong's troops to distract their army."
"The other group of troops took advantage of Jeju and took the opportunity to invade Hezhou from Jeju."
"In Hezhou now, there are no extra men and horses to stop the situation on the Jeju side, unless Fan Hanzhong's army is mobilized to pass."
"In this way, Fan Hanzhong can't look at each other. Maybe this is an opportunity for us!"
"When the time comes, I will lead the army at the same time and attack Hezhou from the west. Then Hezhou will be captured!"
Liu Xiu said to Cao Kang.
After the last confrontation with Fan Hanzhong, Liu Xiu finally knew.
It is said that veterans become ineffective as they get older, but this Fan Hanzhong becomes more and more demonic as he gets older!
When I first came up, I was really losing ground, which made me think that I could almost fight, but I didn't expect that all of this was a trap left by Fan Hanzhong.
As a result, he lost a lot of men.
Now if you ask Liu Xiu to confront Fan Hanzhong head-on, he will naturally not dare.
"Um?"
"This is a good idea!"
"But judging from the current news from Jeju, you should not count on Jeju's troops. Wen Fuli, an idiot, first sent the main troops to Dongzhou. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture Dongzhou, but he failed Think of the loss of 40,000 to 50,000 horses in Dongzhou!"
"And the 50,000 troops sent to Hezhou were beaten back before they even reached the borders of Hezhou."
"It even caused 10,000 people to overwhelm the river in the north of Jeju."
"I really thought highly of Wen Fuli before."
"You can pass directly through Jeju without having to consider any Wen Fuli issues at all!"
Cao Kang said to Liu Xiu.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, should we take down Jeju and Shaanzhou first?"
"Now that Shaanxi Province has become a land without Ma Yaohan, it seems to be an opportunity for us!"
Liu Xiu suggested to Cao Kang.
In fact, this was Liu Xiu's original plan.
Take Shaanzhou and Jeju first. In this case, they will have the advantage of being close to Hezhou and there will be no need to prepare food and grass everywhere.
Otherwise, even if they lead the troops into Hezhou, they will not be able to go far without enough food and grass to support them.
"Not urgent!"
"We currently don't have people we trust enough to support Shaanzhou and Jeju, so we treat them as the isolation of our Xiazhou, so that the safety of Xiazhou can be guaranteed."
"Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to let too many people go to Shaanzhou."
Cao Kang said slowly.
In the final analysis, Cao Kang still dare not delegate power.
After learning from Ma Yaohan's mistakes, Cao Kang even became somewhat wary of Liu Xiu.
I am afraid that if I send any more people to Shaanzhou or Jeju, they will be out of my control.
"this……"
"yes!"
Liu Xiu looked at Cao Kang's eyes and knew that he had said a bit too much today. Now that Cao Kang became the emperor, his whole person had completely changed.
The previous courage and forbearance were gone, and some were worried about gains and losses and stubborn.
It's a bit disappointing.
"Report to the Emperor!"
"The Japanese envoy asked for an audience. He is now outside the capital."
At this moment, a eunuch came in and said to Cao Kang.
