This winter has not been easy for Dahan.

It's not that there's a lack of food, it's that it's too cold.

Fortunately, because there is plenty of food, even if it is colder, it can be regarded as giving people the physical strength to persevere.

The most feared thing is hunger and cold.

That's the most fatal.

The heavy snow in winter is basically one after another, and the last snow is still very thick, and the new snow is coming again.

It is difficult for the Han people, but for the grassland people, it is even more difficult.

One winter's time has greatly reduced the strength of various tribes on the grassland.

The population and livestock were even more dead and wounded, and even if the whole winter lasted longer, maybe they would be gone without the Han army attacking.

Therefore, not long after the beginning of spring, Wang Buxing, who was far away in Luoyang, received a report from the front line.

The Huns began to assemble.

They can't even wait for the snow to melt before they start a war that has been prepared for a long time.

Last year, the Donghu people brought them too much pressure, and under the strong suppression of Mao Dunshan Yu, the Huns could only wait for this year in silence.

Then this year, they decided they couldn't bear it anymore.

Taking advantage of the reality that everyone was affected by the disaster, he was just reckless.

Inside a palace next to the council hall.

The scale is also small, there are no seats, and there is a huge sand table in the center.

This is made by the king of this winter.

Above is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and each county is marked on it.

To the north were the Donghu, Xiongnu, Yueshi, and other tribes.

Several countries already known to the west, Qiang, Wusun and so on.

To the south is Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam.

Except for the territory of the Han Dynasty, which is quite realistic, the others are very sloppy.

For example, in the north, there is a green field, which symbolizes the grassland.

The west side is simply a pile of sand, symbolizing the desert, and I have never been there anyway, let alone know what the situation is there.

The south side simply folded some pine needles and inserted them, anyway, it was also green, different from the grass in the north, symbolizing the tree, symbolizing the primeval forest.

Although it is very distorted, it can give people a clear picture of the Han Dynasty and the surrounding situation to a certain extent.

"Donghu is in the east, the Huns are in the west, this battle is not easy to fight, it is still at this time!" Looking at the sand table diagram again, Wang Buyu frowned deeply.

Although he has long memorized the scenes on the sand table diagram.

But as soon as the news was received, the cabinet was summoned.

"There is no way for the army to go out now, and according to the current situation that has been reported back from the front, if you want to send troops, it will be early March at the earliest." Guan Ying shook his head directly and said.

Of course, he knew the decision of the Great Han, and soon after the Xiongnu sent troops, they would send troops.

But now the time for the Xiongnu to send troops is too early, and it is impossible for the Han to follow at this time.

And it's only the beginning of February.

"Now the Huns obviously can't bear it, so they have to start a war in advance, and if they wait any longer, it is estimated that they are also worried that more people will die!" Chen Ping also began to frown.

"It's still cold in Luoyang, let alone in the north?" Xiao He nodded in agreement.

"I'm not worried about the weather!" Wang Bu was hungry and directly interrupted everyone's words.

“？？？”

Wang Buxing's sudden opening made everyone stunned.

You're not worried about the weather?

The Huns have animal skins as a way to keep out the cold, not to mention anything else, at this temperature now, the Huns will endure it and it will pass, but the Han army will basically be frozen to death in the past.

What's more, the Han army has no experience in grassland warfare.

Everything is started from scratch.

"Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that this year is mainly to adapt to the grassland and explore experience, and wait until next year to send troops on a large scale!" Zhang Liang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this year's recruits will be recruited soon, and by next year, we will have more troops available, wouldn't it be safer at that time?" The baby also chimed in.

No matter what kind of reform, the pains and sequelae of reform are inevitable.

And now the sequelae of the Han State also exists, that is, in order to adapt to the reform, there is a serious shortage of troops.

It is estimated that 300,000 permanent troops will be needed in the grasslands to the north.

And now there are only 120,000 people, and this is still counting the batch of recruits sent after the autumn.

100,000 in the south and 100,000 in the southwest, plus 100,000 in the towns and 50,000 forbidden troops, the total strength of the standing army of the entire Han Dynasty is 650,000.

The city defense or something is not a regular army, at most it is to maintain order or something, and it is used to scare people.

And now, there are only 230,000 of the 650,000 standing army.

There were only 30,000 men in the south and 30,000 in the west, and the only one that was fully staffed was the Forbidden Army.

Wang Buxing's request was that the period of military service was five years, so the 650,000 people would be recruited in five years, and 130,000 people would be recruited each year.

By the fifth year, all of them were full, and in the sixth year, the first batch of soldiers retired, and a new batch was filled, so that a virtuous circle was formed.

The advantage of this is that the impact on domestic agricultural development can be minimized in the short term.

But the disadvantage is that now the troops are going to be mobilized, but the imperial court does not have enough troops available.

Full of battles, that is, 50,000 elites with 70,000 recruits.

Wang Bu looked up at everyone, his forehead still wrinkled.

"Next year? Next year, there will be no Donghu tribe! "The king is not hungry and cut the railway.

Of course, he knew that the Xiongnu had taken Donghu in World War I this year, and they would be rectifying and absorbing the remnants of Donghu in the next two years and allowing them to merge in.

Then it was the attack on the Yueshi, and then the siege of Baideng in history.

That is to say, this year and next year if they can't beat the Huns hard, or simply prevent them from defeating the Donghu.

Then the next headache should be the big Han, and the initiative in the hands should also be transferred to the hands of the Huns.

It's a pity that now the entire big man, except for himself, no one wants to believe that this is true at all.

They also seem to be even less convinced that the powerful Donghu would be defeated by the Xiongnu.

Originally, I wanted to be a man who was full of force and good at admonishment.

As a result, I didn't expect these people to be too weak, so they didn't give themselves this chance at all.

If you want to do things yourself, you still have to act independently.

A Chinese person is a dragon, and a group of people is a worm?

Could this be the allusion to this sentence in later generations?

"Tell the people of the Yue clan that within half a month, 120,000 sets of animal skin clothes must be sent to Han Xin, there is no room for bargaining, if he doesn't give it, I will let Han Xin get it himself!" Wang Buxing turned his head directly to look at Zhang Buyi, and commanded with an extremely tough attitude.

"No!" Zhang Buyi responded directly, regardless of whether he was reasonable or not, just do it with his eyes closed.

Anyway, it's not yourself who bears the blame in the end, afraid of a ball?

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, don't ......"

"Your Majesty, the Yue clan has already been a little afraid of the big Han, and now Your Majesty must not use such a tough attitude to persecute them, otherwise I am afraid of change!"

"Change? What change does he dare to make? What can change? Wang asked disdainfully.

"Han Xin's army attacked, and the entire northern and western defenses were empty, and the Yueshi people were only less than a thousand miles away from Luoyang at this time, if they came to attack, there would be no soldiers available on the way." Xiao He said.

"He didn't dare!" Wang Bu said without hunger.

"Whether he dares or not is not up to you, Your Majesty, if he really dares? What are you going to do, Your Majesty? Just let it go? Xiao He said with some urgency on his face, and secretly said in his heart, why did this majesty suddenly change his personality?

Looking at Xiao He's hurry, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping calmed down a lot.

There was even an inexplicable smile on his face.

Yes, it's still the original recipe, it's still a familiar taste.

The man, he's back......

Wang Buxing's current attitude and way of doing things reminded them of the situation when they started their business.

That confident attitude, that command that leaves people speechless and don't know how to refuse.

And then I didn't know what I was doing, and then I won the battle?

Although it is good that the king who is serious is not hungry, the two old ministers always feel that they are not very used to it, and they always feel that it does not seem to be the real king is not hungry.

"Don't panic Xiao Shizhong, the problem of troops, you can temporarily transfer some of the city defense troops to the border." Chen Ping seemed to guess Wang Bu's intentions, so he persuaded him.

"The combat strength of the city defense army is not good, the equipment is poor, and the number of defenders in each city is not large, even if it is transferred, how much can it be transferred? Let them face the cavalry of the Yue people, the old man does not have this confidence! Xiao He shook his head depressedly, and scolded Chen Ping in his heart.

If it's really a little slipped-up, then it's a few counties, and nearly a hundred counties will suffer.

How dare he agree to such a big risk?

"You're not confident? I'm confident! Chen Ping's tone was extremely firm, he looked at Xiao He who looked confused, and then said: "Xiao Shizhong is afraid that he forgot the battle when Han Xin was in front of the Yue clan last year, right?" Even if the city defense army is small, the combat power is poor, and the equipment is poor, as long as the Han army goes to the border, the Yueshi people have to think about whether they can accept the miserable situation of the Huns last year, besides, isn't this recruit recruited immediately? After that, it will be sent to the border for training and garrisoned in Tuntian, as long as it survives the past few months. ”

This year's troop distribution has already been divided, with 10,000 troops in the south and southwest each and 50,000 stationed in the country, bringing it to a pitiful 80,000.

The nearest is the strength of Guanzhong, and the planned number of recruits is 50,000, which can be in place within a month.

So Chen Ping was not worried at all, because all the work of the Han Kingdom was ready, and it could be started just by waiting for an order.

"What if you don't make it?" Xiao He still didn't give up, this was really too risky.

Wang Buxing waved his hand and said directly: "Don't fight anymore, I have my own considerations......
