Chapter 897: Life is bitter, and the heart is cold.
After figuring out the key, Wang Xuan also relaxed his brows, "Since the target of these guys is the aliens from the grassland, why are they so roundabout!"
"Hahaha, doesn't this just happen to have such a reason? Otherwise, they would dare to bring up the matter of fighting casually." Seeing Wang Xuan's expression relaxed, Liu Bei knew that Wang Xuan had an idea, and he was naturally relieved.
Come down.
"Then let's go to the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition to the grasslands is not bad. We can deal with foreign tribes and open up new territories. After all, we are much stronger than those in our nest."
After knowing that Wang Xuan nodded in agreement, the entire military started to move. Rather than training all day long, fighting would undoubtedly be more exciting.
Three days later, Wang Xuan and Liu Bei came to the military conference room together, pushed the door into the conference hall, and saw at a glance the military generals sitting at attention, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Hua Xiong.
, Guan Hai, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Wu Anguo, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Gongsun Zan, Huang Xu...
The military undoubtedly attaches great importance to this first battle after Liu Bei became king. Everyone in the army and navy wants to participate in it.
"I have met the king." Seeing Wang Xuan and Liu Bei come in, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Excuse me, gentlemen." After saying this, Liu Bei came to the main seat and sat down.
Wang Xuan stood in front of everyone, looked around and said, "This meeting is to discuss the Northern Expedition."
"The first phase of the Northern Expedition targets the Wuhuan people on the grasslands in northern Youzhou. But as you all know, it is the busy farming season. Coupled with infrastructure problems in various places, the labor force is tight. Therefore, this Northern Expedition will not use too many manpower.
." After Wang Xuan finished speaking, many people showed disappointment on their faces.
"What the hell, I don't care, Lao Zhang, I have to go anyway!" Zhang Fei was the first to stand up and shouted, if there is a battle if he is not allowed to go, he might be suffocated to death.
"Shut up, who allowed you to speak!"
Seeing that Wang Xuan was about to get angry, Zhang Fei quickly covered his mouth and sat down.
"Now that the Wuheng people have occupied Zhendonghou's territory, Brother Bogui must have wanted to get rid of them for a long time. Then please ask Brother Bogui to tell you about the situation of the Wuhuan people."
When Gongsun Zan heard Wang Xuan talking about his Zhendong Kingdom, he couldn't help laughing and stood up and said: "It seems that this time I have to trouble you to help me deal with the group of barbarians who have occupied my land."
After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, everyone started laughing, and they all laughed and made noises, telling Gongsun Zan to treat him.
Zhang Fei even shouted directly: "Let's go to Xinghui Nightclub. Brother Bogui will definitely book it and treat us well this time."
As Wang Xuan's venue, Xinghui Nightclub was reserved for only Liu Bei's close friends. However, Gongsun Zan was not a man short of money and agreed without hesitation.
After finishing joking, Gongsun Zan began to introduce: "The Wuhuan people are entrenched outside the Great Wall, in Shanggu County, Yuyang County, starting from the north of Youbei Pingwei, the entire Liaoxi County, and the Liaodong vassal state, including the large grasslands in the north, belong to the Wuheng people
In terms of sphere of influence, the Wuheng people belong to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural system. The current Chanyu is called Tadun, who is a subordinate of Qiu Liju. His capital is Liucheng in western Liaoning. Of course, if Liucheng can also be called the capital."
After saying this, everyone burst out laughing. After calming down, Gongsun Zan continued: "The Wuhuan people are said to have 200,000 people who can control strings, but according to the survey, the total population of the Wuhuan people is only about 300,000. However,
On the grassland, even women are proficient in the art of riding and shooting. After the war really starts, you must remember not to think about killing women, because you will only be the one to suffer!"
After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, Wang Xuancai continued: "The goal of this battle is to exterminate the clan and make it disappear completely in the long river of history."
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and then there was a sound of gasping. All the generals present could not help but take a breath. Although they were all generals leading troops in battle, no one knew how to deal with it.
No matter how much blood was shed, the fact that he could exterminate an entire clan and kill hundreds of thousands of people with just one word still shocked everyone.
Everyone really couldn't imagine how Wang Xuan could speak so lightly when it was about hundreds of thousands of lives.
"This, this..." Huang Zhong said with an ugly face: "National Master, is this a bit too much? If it is on the battlefield, it is only natural to kill many people, but how can those old, weak, women and children do this?
Being ruthless will harm the world."
"Haha." Wang Xuan smiled coldly, looking at a group of frowning generals but did not answer directly, but asked Gongsun Zan: "Brother Bogui, do you think it is too much to destroy the Wuhuan clan?"
"That's what we should do!" Gongsun Zan said firmly.
"Fengxian, please tell me."
"It is only right to destroy his clan!" Lu Bu said with a murderous look on his face.
"Zilong, tell me." Wang Xuan continued to ask.
"It should be so!" Zhao Yun said with the same cold voice.
Gongsun Zan has always treated foreigners with murder, so everyone can understand. Lu Bu is very murderous, and everyone doesn't think it's a big problem. However, he is usually gentle and elegant, like a scholar who has read poetry and books, and avoids being like this.
The general Zhao Yun actually agreed with the genocide, which Huang Zhong and others could not understand.
"Brother Bogui, please explain to everyone." Wang Xuan gestured to Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan opened his mouth, and finally gave a wry smile, "Let's just say it. I'm stupid and can't quite understand. Anyway, those foreigners should all be killed!"
Wang Xuan rolled his eyes and had to clear his throat and said: "You don't live in the northern border, so you don't understand these things. Prairie people have invaded the border, which has been going on for thousands of years. This was also the reason why the northern countries built the Great Wall.
For this reason, Qin Shihuang was criticized by later generations for this incident. In fact, it should not be the case. Over the past millennium, no less than tens of millions of people in this northern borderland died at the hands of grassland aliens."
As soon as the number of tens of millions of people came out, there was another gasp in the venue.
"Let's not mention the humiliating issue of being forced to marry by the Huns in the early Han Dynasty. Let's talk about the more practical people's livelihood. It is said that Youzhou Bingzhou is a bitter and cold place, and the people live in poverty. Just look at the words
But it’s too general, what kind of bitter cold is this bitter cold?”
"Actually, the land in Youzhou is equally fertile, with the same rivers crisscrossing it. The climate is not much colder than that of Jizhou. When it comes to grain production, there is actually no difference. So why are the two adjacent states only three or four hundred meters apart?
It is a land that is indeed one of the richest and most prosperous states in the world. If you occupy it, you can be called the first prince in the world. And there is indeed one of the most bitter and cold places in the world. The world can't avoid it?"
"The biggest problem is these grassland aliens!"
"I'm not just referring to the Wuhuan people, but to all the grassland aliens. Due to their living habits and geographical reasons, the grassland people will begin to invade at the beginning of winter every year, crossing the Great Wall and entering border areas such as Youzhou and Bingzhou to plunder food.
Rob the population and burn down the villages, no matter how old you are, young, old, women and children, take away those who can be taken away, and kill all those who cannot be taken away."
"The people living on the border of Youzhou have no guarantee of life safety at all. Youzhou alone could have become a continent with a population no worse than that of Jizhou, but in fact, the number of people who die every year from grassland invasion alone is anywhere from a few to
There are more than a thousand or even tens of thousands, but they are scattered across the entire border and don't look so inconspicuous."
