"Liu Xian's clan is in Xiangyang?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.
“In Lingling.”
"Then..." Liu Xie was confused and didn't understand what Liu Ba wanted to say.
Even if Liu Biao was angry that Liu Xian abandoned him and returned to the court, he would not have killed Liu Xian's clan to vent his anger.
This will only make Liu Xian hate him to the core, and the people of Jingzhou are disloyal and virtuous.
The example of Cao Cao killing Bian Ran was not long ago, and Liu Biao could not have known it.
With Liu Biao's personality, he should not be able to do such a thing. His cruelty is to deal with those powerful people with little influence. He can't do famous scholars like Liu Xian, nor can he do it.
If Kuai Yue and Cai Mao disagree, he can't do anything.
Liu Ba sighed. "Your Majesty, Sun Ce is eager to take revenge. The four counties in Jiangnan will soon become a battlefield. Lingling and Changsha are adjacent to Sun Ce's first choice. Sun Ce crosses the river and kills heroes in Jiangdong. I have heard of the four counties in Jiangnan for a long time, and they all avoid it.
It's like a tiger."
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized.
He had preconceived ideas and was influenced by existing historical experience. He never considered how the situation would develop if Sun Ce had not died.
Liu Ba is not the case.
He didn't know how many years Sun Ce would be assassinated, but he saw the possibility of Sun Ce's battle for Jingzhou and clearly knew that Liu Biao was not Sun Ce's opponent. If Sun Ce fought for Jingzhou and took Jiangxia, the first move would definitely be Jiangnan after he took over Jiangxia.
Four counties, not Jiangbei.
Sun Jian was once the prefect of Changsha, and his reputation was quite good, and he had a certain foundation in the local area.
Huang Gai under his command seemed to be from Lingling.
To be reasonable, Sun Ce may have taken the four counties in Jiangnan first than to directly attack the southern county in Jiangbei.
In contrast, Liu Biao's control over Jiangnan was not stable.
It seems that it is necessary to re-evaluate the situation in Jiangnan.
Who knows whether Sun Ce will be assassinated after history changes?
If he does not die, the situation in Jiangnan may be another situation.
"Can Sun Ce occupy Jiangdong and then covet Jingzhou?"
Liu Ba said confidently: "Not only Jingzhou, but also Yizhou, and then separating Jiangnan and competing with Jiangbei."
"Are you familiar with this person?"
Liu Ba showed a hint of compulsiveness. "My father once joined forces with Sun Jian to fight against Dong. After Sun Ce consuled, he sent someone to invite his ministers to work with him, and I know his intentions."
Liu Xie nodded again.
He remembered that this was indeed the case.
It seems that Liu Ba’s arrogance is not aimed at Liu Bei alone, and Sun Ce is the first to be turned away.
"Unexpectedly, Ling Zun had such a deed. In the future, the Han Dynasty should be revived, and his achievements should be reviewed." Liu Xie said very seriously.
Although it is just an honor, it is very important to Liu Ba.
Liu Xiang died in the counterattack of the Nanyang family, which was somewhat embarrassing. If the court could justify his reputation, it could also make Liu Ba straighten his back and be a human being.
Sure enough, Liu Ba was moved by it and gave a deep tribute.
After leaving the city, Liu Xie came to the military camp.
The cavalry had already lined up and waited for the exercise to begin.
The cavalry today is divided into three parts: the Yulin Cavalry led by Zhang Ji, the Third Battalion of the Northern Army led by Wang Fu and others, and the Bingzhou Cavalry led by Zhang Yang, with a total force of about 5,000 people.
Liu Xie has been training these 5,000 cavalry these days, intending to select 3,000 elite troops as the main force to pacify the Huns.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to bring more people, but that he is unable to do so.
There is neither enough arms nor enough food.
The Three Thousand Cavalry is a reasonable range that can be borne by fighting.
More than three thousand, the consumption cannot be met by spoils alone, and it can only be transported from the rear, which is a burden that the imperial court cannot bear at present.
Zhang Ji and Zhang Yang are both experts in cavalry, and Wang Fu and others are slightly inferior. After these days of practice, their progress has also been very obvious. It may not be enough to be alone, but there is no problem following the army.
The long-distance raid practiced today.
Considering the differences in the armed and training between the Han army's iron cavalry and the Xiongnu light cavalry, it is not difficult to fight the Xiongnu cavalry head-on. The real difficulty lies in pursuit, and tactical actions such as eliminating opponents in the movement, marching quickly, and raiding have become the most important training.
content.
As soon as Liu Xie arrived, the exercise began.
Five thousand cavalry are divided into ten teams, each team of five hundred cavalry, echoing in pairs, completing communication, speed change, impact and other subjects in a fast marching.
These are the plans formulated by Liu Xie, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yang and many soldiers after discussing, and simulate practical combat as much as possible.
Seeing that Liu Xie was going to march with the knights, Song Du backed down.
With her riding skills, she could not afford to travel with her riding skills.
Liu Xie did not force her to stay at Guangluxun Camp and wait for him to come back.
Song Du was just in his heart and left happily.
Liu Xie rode his horse to catch up with the team and ran for a while. Suddenly he realized that Song Du was coming here today not to watch the exercise, but to have ulterior motives. After a moment of thinking, he guessed Song Du's purpose, and he felt unspeakable.
He always regarded Song Du, Fu Shou and others as ignorant little girls, but forgot about the environment they grew up in. When it comes to intrigue and fighting for power and profit, their experience may not be as good as him.
You should still be careful in the future, and the person next to you may not be reliable.
Behind everyone is a group of people.
When she saw Song Du, Song Guo was very surprised.
After listening to Song Du talk about the arrangements of Emperor Song Hong, Song Guo was even more surprised.
No wonder the emperor has been so concerned about cavalry training recently, and it turns out that such an arrangement was made. Not only was it necessary to conquer the Huns, but he also planned to bring only three thousand cavalry without infantry.
Song Guo did not dare to neglect the matter, and handed over the training of troops to the deputy general, and rushed to the Weiwei Camp himself.
Shi Sun Rui and Wei Jie and Ju Jun were reviewing the results of the military training. Seeing Song Guo hurried over, he was a little puzzled.
Song Guo explained his purpose.
Wei Jie is also a member of Fufeng Township, while Ju Jun and Shi Sun Rui and Wei Jie are advancing and retreating together, and there is nothing to hide.
After hearing this, Shi Sun Rui stroked his beard and did not speak for a long time.
Wei Jie and Ju Jun were also surprised and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
No one can tell whether the emperor did this out of disgust with Shi Sun Rui's previous actions or the unscrupulous reasons. Judging from the various signs, the former is more likely.
The emperor surrendered Shi Sun Rui's official position, but this matter has not been over yet, and may not even be over forever.
Shi Sun Rui signaled Wei Jie, Ju Jun continued to discuss, and he sent Song Guo out of the big tent.
"Is it the news sent by noble people?" Shi Sun Rui asked.
"Yes." Song Guo nodded and said. When he was in front of Wei Jie and Ju Jun, he did not mention Song Du. "The noble man followed the emperor out of the city and was in my camp now."
"You go back and tell the nobles, so I won't be the case." Shi Sun Rui said seriously: "Otherwise I will be the first to impeach her."
Song Guo was shocked. "Shi Sun Jun?"
"The harem cannot interfere in politics, this is a system. It is even more taboo to communicate with ministers from other courts in the palace." Shi Sun Rui was furious and angry, and his voice and expression were stern. "I am rich and noble, and I am like a cloud to me."
