The day after the war, Yu Zixing presented a copy of the data of the battle to Emperor Wu, and also told about the funeral and the support of the people of the border city for the war.

When the funeral began, Emperor Wu was also looking at Yu Zixing's excerpts. After he finished reading it, he handed the fold to Ning Guogong, and after Ning Guogong read it, he handed it to the people around him to read.

This is the small study room where Emperor Wu met with the cabinet, in addition to the cabinet people, there are also the crown prince Li Huaiqi and Dingguo Gong, Ning Guogong, Ying Yangbo and other senior generals here.

After the prince finally finished reading the excerpt and respectfully put it back on the bookcase, Emperor Wu asked Ning Guogong: "Ning Guogong, what do you think?" ”

Ning Guo said openly: "We still need to increase our troops." ”

Emperor Wu asked Dingguo Gong again: "Dingguo Gong, what about you?" ”

Dingguo Gong also spoke: "The ministers have the same opinion. ”

Emperor Wu did not give up, and continued to ask: "What if it is you two leaders?" ”

Dingguo Gong and Ning Guogong glanced at each other, and Dingguo said publicly: "Yu Zixing's ability to lead the troops is not bad, and the defeat in this battle is because the Hu people's troops are too strong." ”

One force to ten meetings, now it is like a group of sheep against a group of wolves, even if a wolf is replaced to lead a group of sheep, how can it win over all the sworn enemies of wolves?

Even if you are unwilling, you have to admit that in the decades that the Hu people have been recuperating and recuperating, the strength of the army is indeed much better than that of Dayan.

The defeat in the war, or being beaten without the power to fight back, this is the first time since the founding of Dayan, especially at the beginning of the first few years of Emperor Wu's accession to the throne.

How will the history books of later generations evaluate themselves, as long as Emperor Wu thinks about it, the record in the history books may be "At the beginning of Emperor Wu's accession to the throne, the Hu people attacked, and Emperor Wu sent troops to fight, and he was defeated, and he lost the courage of his ancestors."

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu was upset, he absolutely could not fall into his prestige and make himself a joke among Emperor Dayan, so he betrayed the Hu people who dared to attack within a few years of his accession to the throne.

Ning Guogong pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in fact, there may be a turning point. ”

Emperor Wu was in high spirits and hurriedly spoke: "Speak quickly." ”

"Dingguo Mansion, the great-great-granddaughter of Zhao Junshen, Zhao Xi."

Ding Guogong frowned and didn't speak, but Liu Shoufu looked dissatisfied, "Ning Guogong, the war is tense, how can it be child's play!" ”

Liu Shoufu is Zhao Xi's maternal grandfather, and he has always doted on her, of course, he is not dissatisfied with his granddaughter, the reason why he said this is because he sees the danger of this war, and he must not let his granddaughter be in such danger.

Liu Shoufu also glared at Dingguo Gong fiercely, annoyed that he, as his own grandfather, did not open his mouth to object.

Dingguo Gong looks at the nose and nose and the heart, when he can't see it.

In fact, why did Ning Guogong name Zhao Junshen? There is no impermeable wall, after so many years, the people who should know that Zhao Xi has divine power also know, and everyone who happens to be here knows it.

Emperor Wu fell silent, Zhao Junshen is a legendary figure in Dayan, and it just so happens that the prestige of this legendary figure is based on the heavy losses of the Hu people and other foreigners, if you say who the foreigners hate the most, it is none other than Zhao Junshen.

Emperor Wu couldn't make up his mind in his heart, because although Zhao Xi had the divine power of Zhao Junshen, she had never led troops to fight after all, and Emperor Wu didn't dare to play with it.

Liu Shoufu saw that Emperor Wu was actually intent on moving, and hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that all kinds of support from the people in the border city can be spread within the territory. ”

When Emperor Wu heard this, he understood what Liu Shoufu meant: this kind of transmission carries the will of the rulers of the dynasty, and the will of the rulers is brought to the people through a certain communication channel, so that the minds of the majority of the people are imprinted with certain concepts, so that they are manipulated by those in power.

In two simple words, it is: brainwashing.

Instead of letting the people panic and fear this war, it is better to let the people know the situation that can be revealed, and after some skillful operation, it is easy to make people feel the same hatred and hatred.

Emperor Wu thought for a while and instructed Liu Shoufu: "Shoufu, this matter is arranged by you." ”

Liu Shoufu got up and bowed in response: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Emperor Wu was still thinking about what Ning Guogong proposed, and he wanted to weigh the pros and cons carefully, so he asked everyone to retreat.

The ministers and the crown prince all respectfully retreated.

Out of the small study, Liu Shoufu glared at Ning Guogong angrily, and because he had something important, he snorted coldly and threw his sleeves and left.

Ning Guogong didn't see anything unusual at all, and walked out of the palace gate with Dingguo Gong.

"Cousin, you proposed Xi'er just now, but are you sure?" Dingguo asked.

Ning Guogong replied in a condensed voice: "I don't have a big grasp. You know, Manjingcheng, or Mandayan, among the generals of the younger generation, I am most optimistic about Atai, first of all, followed by Xiaoxi. Atai has also experienced the fight with the Hu people, but Xiaoxi has not, but it is better than doing nothing. Atai and Xiaoxi are too young after all. ”

If it is Shen Hetai more than ten years later, he may be able to be on par with Azak, but unfortunately time waits for no one.

When Dingguo Gong heard this, he was silent.

The two parted in front of the palace gate, and each got into his own carriage, which drove in the direction of his home.

After a few days, the storyteller at the Beijing restaurant suddenly changed his habit of talking in the past, and talked about the battle that was taking place, the subdued tone, the exaggerated and moving words, and the body dance that couldn't help but talk about the excitement, and the people who came to listen to the book were emotional, and many people seemed to empathize.

This kind of situation is not only happening in the capital, but also in the cities of Dayan.

When it comes to the pain of the people in the border city, many people's eyes are red, and many men will beat the table with hateful teeth every time they hear the storyteller say this paragraph, and many people will scold Hu Ren.

A wealthy merchant with a chivalrous heart was so angry that he immediately instructed his steward to donate 300,000 taels of silver to the imperial court for military purposes.

Emperor Wu soon learned of this news and personally wrote a handwritten letter of "chivalrous benevolence" to the wealthy businessman, which actually set off a tide of fundraising for Dayan.

Those who have money donate money, and those who do not have money donate money, and many people do their part, and in a short period of time, they have raised nearly 10 million taels of silver and items worth 1 million taels of military funds.

Such an effect from storytelling is beyond everyone's imagination, and Emperor Wu Long is relieved, with this silver, he can definitely fight a protracted war.
