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 very 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 I ask my father for permission."
Lu Xuan looked at Jia Xu and Lu Yu and weighed them 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 what is happening in the country now. Zhang Zhao is the leader in government affairs, but the civilian officials are only responsible for governing the country. The military power of the army is always firmly controlled by Lu Xuan. As long as the army is there, there will be no problems.
question.
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 my 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 time, he has been observing Lu Yu. This kid is very smart, reacts quickly, is sincere in dealing with people, but does not lose his mind. The key is to have determination, foresight, and his 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, and felt a little helpless. His son Cao Ang was broad-minded, down-to-earth, and could be called both civil and military. However, Cao Ang lacked the city government and was too simple. Although he was changing all the time, he
Not much effect.
Cao Pi was young, very smart, and had a lot of talent. However, Cao Pi was not broad-minded enough, and he was too thoughtful and thoughtful, and he 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 the 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 are 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 Regions are in chaos, but not chaotic enough. Now that we are bringing troops to the Western Regions, it makes the small countries in the Western Regions think that we are going to invade, which will easily cause panic among the people in the Western Regions 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. Therefore, I believe that this war will require at least 100,000 troops."
Guo Jia said: "To sum up the above, 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: "There is another point. We must vigorously promote the strength of the imperial court and explain the national power of the Ming Dynasty. Our people spread the news. 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 and 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 that in this war, just stay with me and 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 it. 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 strive for resistance. I will gather these people together."
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 are dangers, dangers contain opportunities. What's more, Taifu Jia has been deeply involved in Liangzhou for many years and also has intelligence in the Western Regions. 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 line. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu was powerful in the battle with Japan, there was actually a huge disparity in strength between the Ming Dynasty and Japan. The battle between the two sides was completely overkill.
Means nothing.
Tianzhu's strength is no less than that of Ming Dynasty, which is interesting.
Lu Xuan nodded, and discussed the troop deployment strategy with everyone, and finalized the arrangement of dispatching elite soldiers from all over the country to gather in Liangzhou. Liangzhou only has 30,000 troops, and with only this elite group, more troops are needed.
