"The soldiers of the five divisions, a total of 500,000 cavalry!"

"And 800,000 slave soldiers!" Feng De said lightly.

The general conquest of the Xiongnu is to send one army to fight, and the eight troops can reach one million cavalry, which is one million cavalry, not counting other types of troops.

Although the Xiongnu are large and light, they are sparsely populated, but there is no shortage of horses, and they can be cavalry if they pull a person.

In addition to the fact that they are slaves, the smallest big tribe, there are 500,000 people, and the tribe of 500,000 people can gather 100,000 cavalry, you can imagine how great the fighting potential of the Huns is, which is why the cabinets of Qi unanimously believe that the Huns are the strongest opponents.

Although the people are poor and the system is backward, the military strength of the people is really strong, as strong as any prince of the empire.

If it weren't for the prescience of the emperor of the Zhou Empire and the construction of the Great Wall, I am afraid that now the Xiongnu are going south, and if they want to stop them, they need the princes to unite in order to contend with them, of course, it is only a confront, whether they can be defeated, this is a big question mark.

The Xiongnu were so strong, to fight them, they had to unite Donghu, Donghu also had a strong cavalry lineup, and their national strength was 500,000 elite cavalry.

In the desert, in the early steppe, the most needed thing for war is cavalry, and only with cavalry can you become the master of the grassland or desert.

At that time, Donghu, Bohai, Qi, and the three countries could form a cavalry corps as powerful as the Xiongnu, and even stronger than the Xiongnu in many cases, which also made the Xiongnu not dare to take too much risk in the east.

After all, once the Eastern Crusade fails and the Sulu tribe declines, then the Xiongnu may fall into chaos again, and Maodun's life's efforts will be in vain.

Feng De looked at everyone, at this time he made a major decision, that is, to risk the east expedition once, once he occupied Donghu, then his eastern enemy, only Qi State, he would be closer to the Central Plains plan.

Feng De looked at these people and said, "Okay, this time we will go east to conquer Donghu!" "Fengde chose the Eastern Expedition, he wanted to gather five troops, 500,000 cavalry, 800,000 slave soldiers, logistics militia, and a total of 1.5 million troops.

The Xiongnu were all soldiers, their people could get on the cavalry, and when they got off the horse, they were infantry, and there were no civilians under the nobles, they were domestic slaves, that is, slave soldiers in the Xiongnu population.

The so-called mobilization of the troops of the five tribes is to pull the population of the five tribes out to fight each other, and of course this still retains the four tribes.

The Xiongnu had a total of eight major tribes, one of which was the Xiongnu tribe, and only five tribes were sent out, and three tribes were guarded to guard the Xiongnu mainland and the west, while the Xiongnu tribe did not go on an expedition.

The Sulu tribe was the backbone of the Xiongnu, and if he was defeated, the Xiongnu Empire could collapse.

Only during the national war will the Ju tribe go out, this battle, although the Xiongnu sent a lot of troops, but far from reaching the point where they want to fight the whole country.

Hao Lianqian looked at Feng De first: "Da Shan Yu, have you made up your mind?" ”

Feng De nodded: "You are the commander in this battle, Hao Lian Qianxian, don't let me down!" ”

Hao Lianqian looked at Feng De first, he was silent for a long time, then put his hand on his chest and bowed to Feng De: "I will definitely win and welcome Da Shan Yu in Huanzhou!" "China

The reason why Fengde sent Hao Lianqianxian to be this coach had his own purpose, one reason was that Hao Lianqianxian was indeed very talented, and he would basically not let him down when he handed over such a heavy responsibility.

The second is that the Hao Lian family has recently become bigger, and there is a tendency to suppress the Huyan family, which was once compared to him.

As for the eight tribes, what is required is a balance, once there is a special case, then he may co-opt the rest of the tribes and form a state of confrontation with the Shan Yu tribe, which is not conducive to his Shan Yu's rule.

So in this battle, Fengde wanted to suppress the Haolian tribe and weaken these forces at the same time, and if he won, the Xiongnu could get the territory of Donghu, and at the same time, it could also be weakened, and if he was defeated, the weakening could be more reflected.

As for the loss, he is not worried, because he does not go out on the expedition, and the losses are all these five tribes, not his own, and he is not distressed.

Although he is the master of the grassland, many times, he still cares about the tribe.

Although Fengde is very talented, but many times, he is not as good as Mao Dun, although Mao Dun is the patriarch of the Su Yu tribe, but he treats every tribe equally, because in Mao Dun's eyes, these people are the combat power of the Xiongnu, and they are all people who can expand his territory for him and conclude his grassland hegemony.

Therefore, Maudun is equal to every tribe, because Maudun's personal ability is particularly strong, so he is never afraid that others can surpass him.

And he believes that one day, if he is really surpassed, it is also his ability to be weak, and the position of Yu alone should have a strong person in the position.

Of course, it's not just Mao Dun who thinks so, many people in the Huns think that Shan Yu's position should be held by the strong, which is why Fengde is so easy to succeed to the throne.

The moment Hao Lian Qianxian was appointed as the head coach, he also knew what Feng De's intentions were, he was worried about himself, worried about his Hao Lian tribe.

But what else can Hao Lian do besides accepting the appointment?

Disobeying Shan Yu's orders, that is to be executed, there have been people who have disobeyed Shan Yu's orders, and in the name of the 'Warrior's Heart', disobeyed the orders, but in the end they all failed.

The so-called warrior's heart, this is the tradition of the Huns, or the steppe people, the so-called warrior's heart, that is, duel, in the form of a personal force duel, in exchange for a chance to disobey the orders of the superiors.

And if you reject the heart of a warrior, then you will be called cowardly, and you will not be able to stay in that position.

So when you activate the heart of a warrior, you are risking your life to challenge the authority.

However, the people who mobilize the heart of the warrior basically end up in failure, because the nobles also know that they have the tradition of the heart of the warrior, and they are also working hard to train themselves and train themselves, fearing that they will fall behind others because of the duel launched by others.

In addition to the nobles of the Huns, it is better to eat other people below, and in addition to exercise, they are all strong in personal force among the Huns.

Of course, everything is not absolute, the following people, there will also be some columns, when the slave wants to get rid of the status of hard work, it will also mobilize the heart of a warrior, when you defeat your master, or defeat your master's guard, you can get a free identity, be respected, no longer a slave, get some money, become the new nobles of the Huns.

In some duels, the nobles could send their guards to fight for themselves.

But they can't do that in a duel of equal status.
