In early August, Liu Xie received good news from Xun You.
The generals of the Youyan Protectorate advanced together, won consecutive battles, and successfully captured the royal city of Goguryeo. King Bogu of Goguryeo, the princess Gongsun Jing and all the officials were captured and sent away.
Because the march went smoothly, the consumption was less than expected, and the remaining strength was still strong, Xun You sent General Li Yi to lead his troops to continue marching eastward until they reached the sea.
According to the Goguryeo people, there is another big river beyond the White Mountain east of the royal city, flowing eastward into the sea.
In this battle, all the generals made meritorious deeds. Zhang A from Yuan Xi's tribe arrived at the royal city first and captured the King of Goguryeo and his concubine, which should be the first achievement.
Probably because he knew that the battle went too smoothly, which was unbelievable, Xun You also attached a detailed battle record, reviewing the entire battle process. There were articles analyzing the entire battle situation, as well as some important battles.
The review is comprehensive and quite in-depth.
After reading the good news, Liu Xie was not surprised at all.
It is not surprising that Xun You conquered Goguryeo, nor is it surprising that Zhang A made meritorious service.
If there was any surprise, it was that Xun You's advance was too fast. He originally thought that Xun You would complete the entire war by the end of the year, but he did not expect that it would be over in the autumn.
Judging from the description of the battle record, this should be attributed to the generals' high fighting enthusiasm and tacit cooperation, and Xun You's control of the entire battle situation.
Liu Xie was very satisfied with the result. Xun You accurately grasped his essence. This battle was fought beautifully, perfectly reflecting the advantages of dimensionality reduction.
―――
Liu Xie walked into Ma Yunlu's courtyard.
Ma Yunlu is practicing his sword in the courtyard.
The Xiliang woman's physique is good. A few days after giving birth, Ma Yunlu resumed exercise. Now that the child has not yet learned to sit, she is already ready to go into battle - or have another child.
Seeing Liu Xie walking in, Ma Yunlu put away his sword, handed it to the maid, and greeted him.
"Your Majesty is so happy, what happy event is there?"
Liu Xie laughed. There have indeed been more happy events recently, and he smiled more.
"I received a generous gift, and I want to share it with you." Liu Xie said, handing over Xun You's war record. "Although I can't participate in person, I can feel the atmosphere of the battlefield by reading the war record."
Ma Yunlu took it in his hand, glanced at the inscription, and bowed.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Goguryeo has been successfully pacified and the Northeast is at peace."
Liu Xie nodded repeatedly.
Zhen Mi heard the sound and walked out of the house on the side. She held one hand on the door frame and the other on her already visible belly. She smiled and said, "Goguryeo has been pacified? Is it so fast?"
"Yes, it's faster than I expected." Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi. "How are you today? Have you been feeling better?"
Zhen Mi's pregnancy reaction is relatively strong and lasts longer than the average person, which is completely opposite to Ma Yunlu.
"I'm much better today. Thank you to Sister Ma for taking care of me and Your Majesty for your concern."
The three of them talked and came to the main hall together.
Ma Yunlu personally helped Zhen Mi sit down, so that she could sit more comfortably so as not to press her stomach. Zhen Mi expressed her gratitude and happily took her seat, looking like she had been used to it for a long time.
Liu Xie saw this and didn't say much.
Ma Yunlu is too upright, and Zhen Mi is too cautious, and he knows all this.
Zhen Mi sat down, picked up the war record that Ma Yunlu placed on the eucalyptus, glanced at it, and then asked: "Your Majesty, can I read it?"
"I can read it." Liu Xie said, "When you have time, you will print this war record into a book."
"Printed into a book?" Ma Yunlu and Zhen Mi were both a little surprised.
Ma Yunlu's eyes showed a hint of joy.
When she saw the war records, her first reaction was to ask for a copy and give it to Ma Chao as a gift, but she didn't know how to ask for it. Now that the emperor wanted to print the book, it would save her the trouble.
"Of course, such a good battle example is perfect for use as a teaching material in the martial arts hall."
Liu Xie thought of this when he received the war record.
When training generals at all levels in the martial arts hall, they should not only talk about theory, but also talk about examples. Most of the previous examples were battle examples excerpted from history books by Jia Xu and Yu Fan. Although classics are classics, they do not have enough details after all.
The cases they personally participated in would be better, but they are limited to personal experience and not comprehensive enough.
Xun You's record of pacifying Goguryeo met all the requirements.
It's fresh, comprehensive, and has enough details.
He had not thought of this method before, otherwise he would have issued an edict to implement it long ago.
"Your Majesty, soldiers are the most important weapon of the country and should not be used lightly against others." Zhen Mi reminded softly. "If those people have different intentions after completing their studies, it will be detrimental to the country."
"You are right. Due confidentiality is necessary, but guarding everyone would be a waste of time. There is no guarantee that all the students in the Jiangwu Hall will be loyal ministers, but the court treats them well, not like guarding against thieves.
If you still guard against them, there will always be more loyal ministers."
Liu Xie paused and then said: "Even if there are a few ambitious people, if they don't have the support of the people and have no soldiers to use, even if they are reincarnated as a military saint and Bai Qi is reborn, what will happen?"
Ma Yunlu felt the most and immediately said: "Your Majesty's words make sense. Instead of letting some people bargain with the court based on their talents or family inheritance, it is better to let more people master the basic methods of using troops. This is true for civil servants, and it is the same for military generals. As long as
With the hearts and minds of the people in hand, the world will never be shaken by a few rebellious ministers.uu看书www.uukanshu.com"
Zhen Mi blinked her eyes, thoughtfully. "It's just that villains like profit, and most of them are short-sighted. They may not be able to understand His Majesty's deep intentions. If someone is tempted by profit, it is inevitable that someone will be deceived and swayed."
"So we need to educate." Liu Xie smiled. "If most people can distinguish right from wrong and know that some benefits may seem tempting but are actually not lasting, there will naturally be fewer people who are bewitched. If nothing else, today's
There are so many scholar-officials who are dissatisfied with the imperial court, but there are only a limited number of people who are really willing to follow Yuan Shao, and they have not participated in the Yellow Turbans. They are taking advantage of the situation, which is a clear proof."
Zhen Mi rolled her eyes and smiled. "Your Majesty is still far-sighted, but I am wrong." She then added: "Your Majesty suggested that Xun Yue follow the master's example and climb Mount Tai. Could it be that he hopes that Confucian scholars can stand higher?
Go further and stop engaging in unnecessary disputes?"
Liu Xie laughed heartily with indescribable relief.
He suggested that Xun Yue go mountain climbing. He said it casually without any deep meaning. Xun Yue probably didn't take it to heart at first, so he went to Suiyang instead of going directly east.
Later, Xun Yue turned eastward from Suiyang, which may have something to do with Liu Biao's stroke, and also had something to do with his answer to Liu Cong's question. It was purely coincidental.
Just like Liu Biao suffered a stroke due to this.
He never thought that that unintentional remark would have such a big impact on Liu Biao.
This is probably a matter of course.
Once the necessary preparations are in place, various factors will work spontaneously. What should come will eventually come, and what should go will eventually go. There is no need to be so deliberate.
Historical development has its own laws. If you do not force yourself to do it, the result is often bad things done with good intentions, bringing disaster to countless people.
There are countless such examples in history books.
