Start by integrating Ran Min and starting with the strategy of Lady Bian

The emperor was very happy.

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Palace.

"Do you want to change the name of the Imperial Guards?"

In the Yangxin Palace, Liu Hong looked at Li Xiang who came to report on the recruitment of the Imperial Guards.

When he heard Li Xiang's words, he wanted to change the name of the Imperial Guards, and Liu Hong frowned.

The Imperial Guards were the guards of the emperor. This time, the Imperial Guards went north to conquer the Xianbei and made great contributions, which made Liu Hong very happy.

It was because the Imperial Guards represented the emperor.

As long as the Imperial Guards made meritorious contributions, it was equivalent to linking the military exploits with him, Liu Hong, and the merits were also linked to the merits.

But, now Li Xiang wants to change the name of the Imperial Guards?

Liu Hong frowned, even a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun on the side immediately understood Liu Hong's thoughts and said hurriedly:

"Marquis Longxi, the Imperial Guards are the emperor's guards. If they make military achievements, it will give the emperor face. This is also the reason why His Majesty wants to see the Imperial Guards become stronger. Why did Marquis Longxi suddenly change the name of the Imperial Guards?"

Cao Zhengchun's words made Liu Hong nod and look at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's expression did not change. He bowed to Liu Hong and said:

"Your Majesty, I am not changing the name of the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards are still the Imperial Guards. However, I think it is better to distinguish between the Imperial Guards guarding the palace and the Imperial Guards fighting against foreign races."

"According to my idea, the Imperial Guards can be divided into two parts. One is the palace guards, and the other can be called the Imperial Guards Expeditionary Force. The Expeditionary Force is also the Imperial Guards, and it is a special army representing the emperor to go on expeditions!"

Li Xiang expressed his thoughts.

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise:

"Your Majesty, the idea of ​​Longxi Hou is good. It can clearly divide the functions of the Imperial Guards, and in the future, when the expeditionary army makes contributions, everyone will know that it is your majesty's credit!"

Li Xiang suggested, and Cao Zhengchun's exclamation made Liu Hong's face relax, and he nodded and said:

"Imperial Guards•Expeditionary Army? This is not bad."

Seeing Liu Hong agree, Li Xiang couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, in fact, according to my idea, In the future, the targets of the expeditionary army will not only be the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu, but even further west, the Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire, which are not much different from the Han Dynasty, may become the targets of the expeditionary army! "

"What? The Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire, which are almost as big as the Han Dynasty?"

In the hall, Liu Hong heard Li Xiang suddenly say that there was an empire not much smaller than the Han Dynasty to the west of the 36 Western Regions, and he exclaimed immediately.

Li Xiang did not hesitate and took out the map he had prepared in advance.

This is a rather sloppy global map.

It was drawn by Li Xiang based on the maps of later generations in his mind.

However, the so-called global map is just a map of the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa.

But it is not necessary to draw a complete global map now!

"Your Majesty, look, this map is the world map!"

"Since I was young, I have wanted to learn from my ancestors to fight against foreign tribes and make meritorious deeds. Therefore, I have liked to collect various maps and inquire about the outside world since I was young. However, I found out that outside the Han Dynasty, there is..."

"What? There is such a vast territory and so many powerful empires west of the Han Dynasty!"

"Kushan Empire, Parthian Empire, Roman Empire..."

In the hall, Liu Hong was shocked when he heard Li Xiang's words. He hurriedly took the map drawn by Li Xiang, his face full of shock and disbelief.

On the map, the Han Dynasty is not very big. There are several empires with similar areas to the west. In fact, the area of ​​this map, the Han Dynasty occupies only a small part.

"Your Majesty, it is true. Later, I sent someone to verify it!"

"That's why I dare to tell your Majesty about this. I said that I would give the Imperial Guards the title of Expeditionary Army. In fact, I also hope that the Imperial Guards can go on an expedition to the West!"

Li Xiang said to Liu Hong.

It's a bit early to tell Liu Hong about these things now.

However, this matter still needs to be prevented and painted a big picture first.

Sure enough, Liu Hong was very excited when he heard Li Xiang say that the targets of the expeditionary army in the future would not only be Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu, but even the Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire might become the targets of the expeditionary army. He said to Li Xiang excitedly:

"Li Xiang, do you really have the confidence to launch an attack on these empires?"

Liu Hong couldn't bear to be excited. With his life force being useless, the only thing Liu Hong wanted in reality was

He wanted to show off his martial arts like Emperor Wu of Han.

Now there are so many empires outside the Han Dynasty, and Li Xiang also wants to get involved in these empires. It can be said that it is just what Liu Hong wants.

"Your Majesty, I have great ambitions, but I still need your support!"

Li Xiang said with a bow.

"Support, support, I naturally support!"

"General Wei, don't leave at noon today. Set up a banquet in the palace and talk to me about these empires."

Liu Hong couldn't help laughing.

"Yes!"

Li Xiang bowed and was not polite.

That day, the palace held a banquet.

In order to show his importance to Li Xiang, Liu Hong even asked the queen to accompany him.

"This Northern Huns actually moved westward and fled to the West, and established a force. Do they have ambitions for the Roman Empire?!"

In the palace, in front of the table, Liu Hong heard that the Northern Huns were beaten by the Han Dynasty and moved westward, and they actually wanted to get involved in the huge Roman Empire. He couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in fact, the Huns have such ambitions because the Romans' weapons and military strength may not be very good, and may not be able to compare with our Han Dynasty..."

In the hall, Li Xiang was talking nonsense to Liu Hong and painting a rosy picture for Liu Hong.

On the other hand, his eyes could not help but quietly look at the queen who was looking at him tenderly.

The queen's favorability towards him has reached a very high number.
