Zhang Qian reasoned with facts: "How did the relationship between the Han and the Xiongnu change qualitatively? It is not by the Great Wall, nor by the passes, but by the transformation of strategic thinking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFrom the general Wei Qing to the hussar general Huo Quai, the Han army began to actively counterattack. Pay attention to the training of cavalry. Good results have been achieved, and facts have proved it. The weakness of the Huns is defense, their military discipline is sloppy, there is no rear, there is no baggage, and they lack stamina to do anything. The only way we have to deal with the Huns is to develop cavalry. -for-tat. If he runs, we'll chase him. When he comes, we will fight, and only in this way can we completely solve the Huns. Think about it, hundreds of thousands of cavalry. It's better to save money than a huge project like that. ”

Li Guang retorted: "Then why did the Northern Expeditionary Army spend four million gold. ”

Wang Zangyun waved his hand and said, "I don't think this matter can be seen like this." The Han army and the Huns were fundamentally different. Our Heavenly Dao can't copy other people's situations, but to find a path that suits us, yes, the emperor spent four million gold on the Northern Expedition, but the big order is to raise 100,000 cavalry, do you need so many people in the Han Court? Why can't we learn from the Huns, instead of learning the methods of the Han court? ”

The crowd pondered, yes. Why can't Da Dan spend a lot of money to raise 100,000 cavalry, but why does Dahan want to raise 100,000 cavalry, why do they have to spend the country's manpower and material resources?

Xue Qing was very interested in this question. I discussed it with you for a few days. But in fact, it's all on paper, you think, no one in the Heavenly Dao has no money to get 100,000 cavalry, and Hanting has 100,000 cavalry, but after the Northern Expedition is empty, I'm afraid there will be no rice to cook.

Let's talk about it. is the same army, how small the cost is, all the people are soldiers, and pulling on the horse is the cavalry of the first Zhan, and the Han people can't train without a few years of hard training and wasting a few tons of food.

In addition to talking on paper, Xue Qing alone brought Zhang Qian to learn about the situation in Daxia, and asked Qiu Ping to pay attention to whether there were tobacco and poppy production areas there. At the same time, I discussed with him how to reply to the emperor.

Because of the matter of replying to the emperor, it is useless to rely on himself, Zhang Qian is still Emperor Wu's henchman, at least he thinks it is. So a lot of things made it more appropriate for him to tell the emperor.

Xue Qing forwarded the original reply letter from Princess Nangong to the emperor. The emperor burst into tears when he received the letter in Ganquan Palace. immediately summoned Princess Pingyang to Ganquan Palace, and the sister and brother cried for a long time at the letter from the eldest sister. said that he wanted to support Xueqing's idea of stealing her back.

Princess Pingyang stayed in Ganquan Palace for two days, the more she thought about it, the more she didn't feel it, her husband was going to go out to fight, and her son-in-law was going to go out to fight, and now even her daughter couldn't escape this fate, others seemed to be the Wei family's power, could it be that the Han couldn't find anyone else besides the Wei family.

I think of my sister I haven't seen in years. Pingyang felt sad for a while. How old was I when my sister left? Twelve? cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and followed Liu Rong's brother to chase the carriage. Where did the two little children catch up with the speeding carriage. And Liu Che at that time, that little kid only knew how to sit on the ground and cry, and he didn't even have the strength to get up and catch up.

In the Emperor's House. Maybe it's a great fortune in the eyes of others. And everything I have seen, heard, and experienced over the years is silently reminding myself. An ordinary life is what I want most.

After the emperor cried, he wiped away his tears, and after washing his face, he called the old prime minister over as if nothing happened. Besides, Zhuang Qingzhai was originally a person who was Yunwen and Yunwu. People's titles are all martial arts, and it's good to wait. Ask him for his opinion. Stabilizing some national politics is also what Emperor Wu needs to do at present.

It is now almost certain that the Huns are about to shift their strategy. So how to deal with it next, in addition to Wei Qing and Huo Quai's illness and Xue Qing's anxiety, the most anxious is the emperor.

A few days later, Xue Qing received a letter from the emperor, which said that she was tentatively fighting against the water. Okay, okay, no, forget it. Xue Qing was asked to provide food and grass supplies for the 100,000 army. Respond to the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is about to move to the Western Regions. The imperial court will spare no effort to support the Western Regions. Stand your ground. Don't be afraid. Nai's father will follow the main force of the Huns for thousands of miles, and Naifu will surprise the Huns with a fatal blow.

Xue Qing was stunned for a moment, did she talk like this, she had to fight against the water, and she had to shrink back. In a word, the imperial court will give some more support to the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Western Regions battlefield, but how much is very watery in Xueqing's opinion. Then it is only allowed to win, not to lose, otherwise the occupation of Mobei will become a joke.

The meaning is very clear, 500,000 foot soldiers retreated on the whole line, the remaining grain was handed over to 100,000 cavalry, and 50,000 were led by Wei Qing to follow the main force of the Xiongnu to attack and harass. And Huo Qubing is still the old way, going around from the Han land, passing through the Hexi Corridor to surprise the Huns, it is best to attack the Huns with Wei Qing on both sides.

Of course, Zhao Xin, who was stationed in the royal court, was not in the plan of the two at all.

Xue Qing wailed in her heart, all the history she had learned back then had been fed to the dogs, and there was no resemblance to the development of this situation at all.

Once the strategy of the imperial court has been decided, the next step will be much easier. Now that the imperial court has also learned to be obedient, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the matter of agreeing on the time of the division like the last battle in Hexi is not reliable at all, and the generals of all parties have great initiative. For example, after the emperor's letter arrived, there was a steady stream of support from Jiayuguan, war horses, livestock, grain, troops, and even displaced people, flowing endlessly in Jiayuguan every day, a steady stream of people coming to Loulan.

Xue Qing sent Zhang Qian and Qiu Ping out, this is the eve of the storm, at least to figure out which people are our friends, so that we can drink and eat meat together. Who are the enemies, then find out where their money is hidden. The Huns will be handed over to my father and husband, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the thirty-six countries. Naturally, it has to be cleaned up first.

On Li Tuo Ci's side, Xue Qing gave her a little bit of rumor, saying that it was possible that the Xiongnu were going to increase troops in the Western Regions, and it was up to you to believe it or not, anyway, the old lady was irresponsible.

Li Tuoci thought about it, but still went back to China with a big belly. Go find Zhang Qian before going back. Zhang Qian told her: "The Da Yue clan was once beaten far away from their homeland by the Xiongnu. Since you plan to fight the Huns again this time, you must make this plan. It doesn't matter, even if it really comes to that day, with me, there will naturally be a place for you and your children. ”

Li Tuo Ci rolled his eyes, just kidding, the main forces of the Xiongnu are all in Mobei, and they will transfer their troops to the Western Regions at this time? I don't believe it. thought Zhang Qian was perfunctory to her. With a big belly, I went back to China. (To be continued.) )
