Chapter 100: Not reluctantly

"Master, I want to go to seal the country."

"The people of Datang are suffering and living in dire straits, while I am enjoying myself here, alas, I really can't help it."

"What's more, in today's Chang'an, villains are in charge, bewitching everyone, like us and other loyal and righteous people, there is no way to live."

Liu Chang sighed at the impermanence of the world, Han Xin glanced at him, "Beat up by Cao Shen again?" ”

"That's right! Master! This person is too cruel, he will be beaten when he is caught, and his father and mother are still on his side, even Gai Gong... My life is so miserable that I don't even dare to go to the street now, and my uncle also feasted him and gave him a lot of gifts... This Chang'an, I can't stay any longer. ”

Hearing Liu Chang's complaint, Han Xin smiled lightly, and his heart was very comfortable.

"That's fine, you should also grow up, and you can do big things with peace of mind in the future, and don't mess around anymore!"

Liu Chang's face was helpless, Han Xin continued to lecture, Han Xin always taught him the most basic art of war, and at the same time took the world's fierce generals as examples, from Xiang Yu, to Cao Shen, and even Fan Xu, Han Xin was very proficient in their tactics, and after talking about some basic content, Han Xin would also talk about the current situation.

"Your feudal country, now there is no richest land of two rivers, but there are more generations, and the only one who can help you share the defense line is the Yan country."

"Yan Guo is tired and overwhelmed."

"If you want to defeat the Xiongnu with the current Tang State, that's a fool's dream."

"Huh? I went to the Tang Kingdom to be beaten by the Huns? ”

Han Xin shook his head and said seriously: "To fight against the Xiongnu, there are three most important points, horses, grain, and bows and crossbows. ”

Liu Chang listened carefully, and Han Xin said again: "The Han Dynasty lacks horses, and the Tang Kingdom is even more short of horses, if there are no horses, you can follow the favorable terrain to resist the Xiongnu, but you can't stop the Xiongnu, let alone defeat the Xiongnu." ”

"The Han Dynasty is short of grain, and the Tang State is even more short of grain, if you want to defeat the Huns, you have to travel a long way, you have to ensure the grain route, you have to have enough food, people have to eat, and war horses have to eat."

"As for the bow and crossbow, in the battle with the Huns, the consumption of the bow and crossbow must be huge...."

Han Xin's words, to sum up, that is, the word logistics, without strong national strength, it is impossible to defeat the Huns, and dragging it can drag you to death. And how short of horses were there in the early Han Dynasty? When the Han Dynasty was established, Liu Bang couldn't even find six horses of the same color, and according to records, there were more than 100 war horses in the royal stables at that time.

The minister in charge of this part is Xiahou Ying.

In the past ten years, the number of war horses of the Han Dynasty has been rising rapidly, although it has been damaged once in the middle. Now these thousands of war horses, compared with the hundreds of thousands of war horses of the Huns, are not of the same grade at all.

Not only the Han Dynasty, in fact, there are not many war horses in the Warring States, Qin, Zhao's war horses are slightly more, but not much, when Li Mu of Zhao defeated the Huns, the way he took was to show weakness, first paralyze the Huns Shan Yu, and then feign defeat to the other party, and then take advantage of the other party's depth, open the left and right wings to outflank and counterattack the enemy, and break the Huns.

This method is very good, but Mao Dun is not a head man after all, so he may not be easy to get started, not to mention that this trick has already been used once.

"That's... I'm going to raise horses? ”

Han Xin was furious, "As a king, how can you personally do such a thing as herding horses?" ”

"What does the master mean?"

"Write to Zhang Cang, now the Xiongnu have annexed many tribes, because Mao Dun is cruel, there are many tribes who are unwilling to follow the Xiongnu, Zhang Cang can win over these people, place them in the Tang State, and let them raise horses for the Tang State..."

.........

In Fan Xu's mansion, Liu Chang sat on the top, and the sages sat on the left and right, but at this moment, after Prime Minister Cao Cheng's strong suppression, the mood of the sages was a little low. And their fathers are also in cahoots with Prime Minister Cao Cheng and fully support Prime Minister Cao's behavior.

As soon as Prime Minister Cao Cheng came to Chang'an, he received countless praises, after all, it only took him three days to improve the law and order in Chang'an.

Liu Chang didn't care, he raised his head and said, "You don't have to worry. ”

"That Cao thief just came to Chang'an, his reputation is not obvious, and we have won the hearts of the people, and his reputation is outside, he is jealous of us, so he strikes at us... We don't have to worry about him, when I am older, he will be old, and the widow must hold him between him and turn around three times in Chang'an! ”

Only then did the crowd become active again.

Liu Chang looked left and right and sighed.

Lu Lu was about to speak, but Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly pressed his head and shouted, "Why is the king sighing? ”

"The widow just thought of the people of the Tang Kingdom who were suffering... You don't know, the Tang Kingdom is short of horses, and the entire Tang Kingdom can't find a hundred war horses..."

bsp; Xiao Yan asked blankly, "What does the suffering of the people of the Tang Kingdom have to do with horses?" ”

"How can you be so merciless! The people of the Tang Kingdom can't ride war horses anymore! You're still here to refute the king?! ”

Lu Lu finally found an opportunity to speak, and hurriedly shouted.

"What's the wisdom of the sages?"

"My lord, I have horses at home! How much do you want?! ”

Xiahou Zao said excitedly.

"Uh... General Xiahou Ying is still there... Forget it. ”

"My lord, we have horses in each of the palaces, why don't we go and steal them after dark?"

Zhou Shengzhi said.

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, but when he remembered Cao Shen's murderous face, his eyes were dim.

"Alas, why should the traitor be in charge..."

Everyone scolded Cao Shen, and couldn't come up with any ideas for a while, Chen Mai slowly got up and asked, "Why don't you buy some horses and send them to the Tang Kingdom?" ”

"That's right! Wouldn't it be nice to buy it?! What can the ginseng that we spend money buy do to us? ”

Liu Chang suddenly realized that he had done a little too much business without capital on weekdays, and he actually forgot that he could still buy things.

"How do I buy it?"

Chen Mai continued: "In the past, there were Hu merchants who came to Chang'an to sell horses, but now there are none... However, in Chang'an, there are all big families, and they all have horses at home, but the horses are precious, and they are afraid that they will cost a lot of money. ”

"It's easy to do! How can a husband be trapped by a copper-smelling thing? ”

Liu Chang said proudly: "My family has quite a lot of assets, for the sake of the people of the Tang Kingdom, I am willing to convince my parents with a three-inch tongue!" ”

He looked at everyone again and said, "You can help me ask, you can't force me to buy, otherwise the thief will chase after the door, as long as it is a horse, whether it is lame, small, male, female, even if it is a donkey!" ”

"The King... What is the use of this donkey? ”

"You can transport grain!"

"What about the lame?"

"We'll find out when you're a few years older."

Everyone immediately started to act, and Liu Chang naturally came to persuade his mother.

"Mother~~~"

.........

This time, Han Xin did not deceive Liu Chang, and the Tang State was indeed very short of horses, because Chang'an took back the horses from the Tang and Zhao regions to the temple several times for his own use. In the Tang Kingdom, horses are more precious than cattle, and thinking that this was the largest horse farm in Jin and Zhao in the past, people can't help but sigh.

Empress Lu is also very concerned about this matter, she knows that Tang Guo lacks horses, after Liu Chang mentioned this matter, she directly found Xiahou Ying, asked Xiahou Ying to give some war horses to Tang Guo, and let Tang Guo cultivate war horses by himself, Xiahou Ying was very reluctant, but there was no way.

As for the money, Empress Lu did not give the money to Liu Chang, and directly sent someone to "buy" it and send it to the Tang Kingdom.

Just when Liu Chang realized his wish and was complacent, Liu Bang was very angry.

An urgent report came from Yan that the Hun cavalry crossed the Great Wall and plundered the counties of Yan State.

This made Liu Bang realize that the position of King Yan could no longer be vacant, he thought for a moment and found Liu Bi, the son of Yu.

Liu Bi is very young, but he is the most brave among the adult children of the clan, Liu Bang still likes this brave Yuzi, originally wanted to dismantle Huainan and give him half, but at this moment, he could only send him to the bitter cold land of Yan Kingdom.

Liu Bang looked at Yuzi a little helplessly, and explained: "Straighten out the soldiers and horses, defend with all your might, don't be reckless, don't attack..."

Liu Bi was extremely serious, "Even if I die, I will only die in Yan Kingdom!" ”

Different from Liu Chang's luxurious ceremony of sealing the king, Liu Bi's ceremony of sealing the king is very simple and fast, after the king, he went to Yan State non-stop to defend against the enemy, Liu Xi originally wanted to ask Liu Bang to let his younger brother change the country for his son, but Liu Bi did not allow it.

The young Liu Chang stood on the city wall, watching Liu Bi lead the soldiers away, his face was full of solemnity.

He looked to the north, stared at the blue sky, and said fiercely:

"Maudun... You wait for me. ”
