The news here in Lingnan is still quite backward.

They didn't even know the news that the Han had established a barracks in Nanjun and placed 200,000 troops in it.

Not to mention the fighting farther north.

Of course, they didn't know that the powerful Donghu had been annexed by the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu had to move west to avoid disaster after being beaten by the Han army.

The nasal congestion of the news, in fact, is caused by insufficient manpower.

Although Zhao Tuo has made a series of policies in Lingnan, he is gradually stabilizing here.

But there are still many forces in Lingnan that are very dissatisfied with them.

These local natives are like poisonous snakes in the dark, staring at Zhao Tuo at any time, as long as they are rarely relaxed, they will immediately come up and take a bite, without the slightest hesitation.

For Zhao Tuo's Lingnan Legion, now they can only support it hard.

I hope that one day, they will gradually assimilate the natives hidden in the mountains.

At the moment, however, this is not working.

But the fundamental problem is that Zhao Tuo has received too little support.

Even he himself can't guarantee that this plan will really succeed in the end, and if there is the support of the imperial court behind it, then everything will not be a problem.

Of course, Zhao Tuo was still clear about the fact that his arms couldn't reach his thighs, so when he knew that the Han Dynasty mission was coming towards Lingnan, Zhao Tuo began to think about the future in his heart.

Although Zhao Tuo's intelligence is not smooth, it is just that it is not smooth outside, and internally, Zhao Tuo still has a lot of effort.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible not long after the mission entered Lingnan, Zhao Tuo's side received the news and made arrangements.

Therefore, of course, Zhao Tuo has Zhao Tuo's careful thoughts.

I've worked so hard to get a place out of the way, and I'll have to give way if you say a word?

Why?

And this can also explain why Zhao Tuo wanted Sui He to speak first, and why he put on a stand like the king of Nanyue.

In fact, the hint given by Zhao Tuo is already obvious.

Of course, Sui He also understood Zhao Tuo's meaning.

But it is useless to read it, and the emperor has already made a decision on this matter.

"Let's put it this way, at the end of the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the grassland snow disaster, the Hu people suffered heavy losses, and the Xiongnu tribe, which had just risen in recent years, took the opportunity to raid Donghu, and the previously powerful Donghu tribe has been completely annexed by the Huns."

"In other words, there is only one tribe in the northern grasslands now, the Xiongnu."

"What ???" Zhao Tuo's eyes widened, a newly rising tribe actually annexed Donghu?

What is the fuss?

What any force fears most is the reunification of the hostile side.

Because this means that the other side can unify command and dispatch and give full play to greater war potential.

During the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, although the Hu people on the grassland were also a headache, neither the Zhao State nor the Qin State allowed the grassland to complete the unification.

And there seems to be an unspoken rule on the grassland, every time you are unified, you have to go south to sharpen your knife.

Perhaps everyone knows that this bone in the south is not easy to gnaw, as long as the victory can be achieved in the south, it will naturally be able to deter the inside, so that some people dare not be dissatisfied, let alone resist.

"Didn't the imperial court intervene?" Zhao Tuo couldn't help but ask.

It stands to reason that such a low-level mistake is impossible.

However, everything is not absolute.

Through Sui He's description just now, Zhao Tuo basically saw that the unification of the northern grasslands was actually impossible for anyone to stop.

No matter how powerful the Han Dynasty was, it would take time to prepare for war.

The Xiongnu annexed Donghu, precisely with the help of the snow disaster, taking advantage of the heavy losses of Donghu, directly sent troops to quickly defeat it.

In this case, basically the news has just reached here, Xianyang, and the battle over there has ended.

By the time the imperial court was sending troops over, it would have been too late.

And at this time, it is very practical to describe this matter in one sentence, which is called strong masturbation!

Well, to this day, Zhao Tuo still thinks that the capital of the Han Dynasty is Xianyang.

Although Sui He has mentioned Luoyang more than once just now.

"How could it be that there was no intervention? As early as when the Xiongnu had just started, His Majesty noticed this tiny force, regardless of the minister's opposition, forcibly sent hundreds of scouts to mix in the Xiongnu, and after hearing the news of the grassland snow disaster in winter, His Majesty thought that the Xiongnu would definitely do something, so he immediately ordered Han Xin, the general of the cavalry of the border army, to prepare for the expedition. ”

"At the same time, His Majesty sent the military department Shangshu Guan Ying straight to the border, and at the same time sat in the north, and just after receiving the news of the Xiongnu's troops, the Han army immediately dispatched and followed the Xiongnu all the way to the east."

"It's just a pity that this winter is too big a blow to Donghu, although the 100,000 Han cavalry is hurrying and hurrying, and by the time they arrive, the battle is still over."

"And at this time, the two generals also learned the news that 100,000 Hun cavalry had gone south to Yuyang County!"

"However, the Huns are still happy after all, since Your Majesty guessed that the Huns will take action after the beginning of spring, how can they not make all preparations?"

"So, while ordering the military department Shangshu Guan Ying to go to the northern border to sit in the town, he also ordered Wang Li, the commander of the military camp in Nan County, to go north to Yuyang County and lead 135,000 people to guard Yuyang County."

"After the main force of the Huns came, they found that this place had been run into an iron plate by General Wang Li, and they attacked for a while, leaving thousands of corpses behind, and had to flee in a hurry."

"Of course, the follow-up pursuit of the infant general once again pounced."

"But on the other hand, General Han killed all sides."

"Then and then, the Huns quickly maneuvered to the west, planning to take advantage of the emptiness of the camp in the clouds to give the imperial court a blow."

"However, they miscalculated again, how could Your Majesty make such a low-level mistake?"

"At this time, the camp in Yunzhong was guarded by more than 40,000 Praetorian Guards led by Zhang Buyi, the general of the Praetorian Guard, and more than 30,000 cavalry left by Han Xinying."

"And guess what?"

"Inside and out, this battle added up, the Huns lost nearly 50,000 combat strength, tens of millions of livestock, and more than 200,000 women."

"Some of these women have been distributed to some bachelors, but Your Majesty has left a batch and plans to distribute them to the soldiers who remain in Lingnan."

"The current Huns have been driven thousands of miles away to the west by the Han Dynasty, and now Your Majesty is preparing to sharpen your sword and march into the Western Regions to completely defeat the Huns!"

Sui He once again unceremoniously boasted about the exploits of the Han Dynasty in the past few years.

Not to mention anything else, just solving the hidden dangers in the north is enough for everyone to be proud of.

This is a problem that has not been solved by the Warring States for hundreds of years, plus the entire Qin Dynasty.

And the Han Dynasty was solved with just one war.

Although the solution is not clean, there are many sequelae.

But this kind of thing, how can it be completely solved by performance at one time?

And Sui He's description gave Zhao Tuo's heart a blow to the head, and his fiery heart was instantly poured with a basin of cold water.

Of course he heard it, if you Zhao Tuo are disobedient, you are a sinner in Zhuxia, and you are also the kind of sinner through the ages.

As for the Hun woman, do you accept it?

This question doesn't seem to need to be considered, in this place in Lingnan, they even accept the indigenous women, what about the Xiongnu women?

It doesn't matter who she is, the most important thing is to pass on the lineage.

And I have to admit that the emperor's hand is indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that Zhao Tuo has nothing to do.

Now that it's okay, let's ask you if Zhao Tuo is afraid?

The main force of the 200,000 main forces of the Nanjun battalion is waiting for the day, and it may go south at any time.

The imperial court has prepared women and is ready to send them to the soldiers who stayed behind to settle down here, so that they don't have to worry about the problem of inheritance.

The relatives at home missed them very much, which caused the soldiers to remember their homeland.

In addition, the imperial court is also preparing to march into the Western Regions to continue to fight against the Xiongnu, at this time, if Zhao Tuo makes some moves in the south, isn't this tantamount to helping the Xiongnu?

Zhao Tuo is a very shrewd person.

Savvy people are hard to deal with, but at some point, shrewd people are the easiest to deal with.

It's like now, if he were a reckless man, he wouldn't think about it that much.

Do you want to revoke my South Vietnam?

It's impossible, don't even think about it, if you have the ability, you will come over and completely destroy me, whoever instigates is the grandson.

And a smart person, he will think more, he will definitely not be able to fight, the military spirit is gone, and if he refuses, he will be charged with the crime of being a sinner through the ages.

Zhao Tuo had no doubt that he would be charged with this crime if he refused, he knew that he would definitely do so.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you are charged with a crime or not, the important thing is that even if you are charged with this crime, it will not help in the end.

I can't save South Vietnam, and I can't pass on this country to my children and grandchildren.

If at the beginning, Zhao Tuo still thought about becoming a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, then now, this thought has basically been broken.

Sui He said so much, just telling Zhao Tuo that you don't have a choice in this matter.

Later, Sui He also told Zhao Tuo that there was no king in the Han Dynasty, and the highest title was the Marquis of Qi of Tiandan, the king of Qi.

The kings of a traditional powerhouse have all been demoted to marquises, why are you, a little brother who only came out later, a head taller than others?

"Can you convince me?" Zhao Tuo seemed to have suddenly aged a lot, and even his tone was a little lost.

Ideal and reality, he can only choose reality.

And in the face of the family business that he has worked hard for so many years and has not even wanted to face, he is also very reluctant.

But it can't be helped, it really can't be helped.

If you resist hard, there is only one dead end.

The Han army's combat effectiveness in jungle warfare is stronger than that of the local natives, so does it need to be said about conventional land warfare? His men were no match at all.

Sui He smiled, and finally came to the most critical moment......
