Chapter 163: Kou Ke Go

"Taixue Ling Zhang Yuan, how did you get this map?"

Liu Che was still a little uneasy, and turned to Zhang Yuan and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, since the First World War in Mayi, the minister has entrusted some border merchants to promise heavy profits.

The map of the desert was drawn by them asking the herders or by surveying it themselves.

The territory of the Han Dynasty was drawn by some servants of the courtier's family after several years of searching for mountains and rivers.

In that part of the desert, the minister also sent someone to personally verify and test, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, the minister also found the Yiqu people to mix in the Xiongnu tribes, and let the Xiongnu tribes compare, and the accuracy of this map is extremely high. ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Liu Che stood up and applauded.

Zhang Yuan also smiled confidently, just with this map, it was enough for him to establish himself in Dahan for the next one or two decades.

"Taixue Lingfang is the talent of the pillars of my Han Dynasty, and with this picture, some of the plans in my heart can be implemented.

However, I would also like to ask you what you think about this, and you can appeal to it. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister promised Your Majesty a few days ago that Taixue would not waste a year of time in vain.

This map is the key, a map alone cannot help our Han army achieve an overwhelming victory, we also need some special talents.

These talents can be cultivated by Taixue, at least half a year or more than a year, and the ministers can train more than fifty military horses for His Majesty. ”

"No!"

One of them suddenly yelled loudly.

Zhang Yuan turned his head to take a look and found that it was Li Guang.

Ma De Zhang Yuan is really dumb and can't say what is going on now, in the final analysis, if the plan can be successful, it is not others who will get the most help, but Li Guang.

It's his Li family in Longxi, as well as Li Guangli's family, and in the final analysis, all the people who help them are surnamed Li.

The Li family has been famous for thousands of years, which may be caused by the large number of people surnamed Li, but in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this group surnamed Li was the most unlucky.

Did Liu Che not completely let them fight? Or is there something tied to them?

No, in the end, it's this group of people who are unlucky.

Take Li Guang as an example, even if there is no handsome talent, there are still generals.

It didn't matter if he took the elite of the Han and the elite of the Huns, but he either got lost or encountered the enemy army of the Huns several times his size.

Once you have the map, you can send scouts to scout first.

The reason why there were very few scouts sent out to fight against the Xiongnu earlier was because the generals of the Han Dynasty did not dare to send the scouts too far, and if they were far away, they would disappear, and although their scouts had strong reconnaissance capabilities, they would probably not be able to find the location of the army.

The grassland is like a labyrinth to them.

"Oh? If General Li has any objections, you can just say it. ”

Liu Che still has a lot of respect for Li Guang.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister did not intend to hinder Taixue.

Taixue internally teaches students that they have nothing to do with ministers, but what does Taixue Ling directly mean by saying that he wants to train military horses for the Han Dynasty?

Is this to meddle in the military and political veins of the Han Dynasty? The hand that is too academic is too long.

Matters in the army cannot be handed over to Taixue Ling.

As for this map, as long as someone is sent to copy it and distribute it to each battalion, someone will naturally study and study it. ”

"Taixue Ling, I think what General Li said is reasonable.

However, if you think there are any questions, you can also ask them. ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Li Guang on the spot, and the ridicule on his face couldn't be suppressed at all.

However, except for Li Guang who was a little uncomfortable, no one else said anything, just now Zhang Yuan could sneer at Liu Che, and Bai Li Guang was nothing at a glance.

"The minister thinks that General Li alone must not affect His Majesty and affect the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Han troops!"

Zhang Yuan almost didn't say that Liu Che would be short-sighted as long as he supported Li Guang.

Taking advantage of Liu Che's lack of anger, Zhang Yuan immediately continued.

"Your Majesty, think about how useful a map can be for the people in the army?

The grassland is desolate, and all places are the same.

The ministers didn't dare to say anything else, General Li was experienced and took this picture to the grassland, and he was also confused.

The ministers here are all the pillars of my great man, but when you wait on the grassland, you are surrounded by endless green plains, can you tell where you are?

If everyone can't tell the difference, this map is waste.

If the minister only gave this piece of waste paper to His Majesty, there would be no other use than to provide some unneeded confidence to the Han soldiers.

There are people who are familiar with the grassland, there are scholars who know the stars in the sky, and there are veterans in the army who understand the essence of reconnaissance.

The three are combined to teach students to quickly master the skills of positioning, so that they can grasp the enemy's movements.

Dahan can be invincible! ”

Speaking of which, a few people who studied too much finally played a big role.

Zhang Yuanlai had also thought about how to position himself before.

The ancients had wisdom in this regard.

According to the positioning of celestial phenomena, it is the innovation of the Chinese nation.

When the West was still trying to figure it out with aliens, the Huaxia people thought about how they could use the stars in the sky to correspond to themselves on the ground.

Because of the difference in latitude and longitude, the position of the stars seen in one place is also different.

This is certain, and although it changes from year to year, it is easy to confirm the change once you know the pattern.

Zhang Yuan only needs to knock on the side and leak a little thing to the lecturer who teaches the astrological calendar in Taixue, and he can quickly find a way to use the astrological positioning.

"What you said is true?"

"Your Majesty can summon Taishi Ling Sima to talk about it, and the minister doesn't have to lie about this matter.

When there is no position on the ground, it is not uncommon for the celestial officials to be able to locate the celestial phenomena in one fell swoop.

But the number of heavenly officials in the Han Dynasty is insufficient, and they are all old, so they can only retrain a group of students who only need to learn astrological positioning. ”

It seems a bit ridiculous to say, but as long as Sinan takes a look at the position of the brightest stars in the sky, it is not difficult to determine the location of the Han Dynasty.

Although the accuracy is not high, as long as you have enough experience and know how many miles the army travels every day and what direction it is taking, it is easy to locate it on the map.

"I think what Taixue Ling said is good."

Li Guang was slightly stunned, this became too fast.

Your Majesty, didn't you still support the old minister just now, why did you turn your head and fool you a few words, and your thoughts changed.

"Since Your Majesty thinks it's good, then after the minister goes back, he will ask Luo Xiahong in Taixue to open this course."

"Who is Luo Xiahong? I've never heard of this person's name. ”

"This person is a celestial official who studied celestial phenomena that the minister knew in Bashu, and he knew arithmetic through the calendar, and he was a rare talent."

In these years, as long as they study the stars, whether they have official positions or not, they are collectively called heavenly officials, just like their professional titles.

"But, I'm right.

Do you have any other suggestions? ”

Liu Che didn't give Li Guang a chance to continue arguing with Zhang Yuan, and immediately made a decision.

"The minister thinks that His Majesty can be strong now, ready to give the Huns a painful blow at any time.

Over the years, the Xiongnu have been recuperating and are ready to move.

Relying only on those cattle and sheep could not support the development of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu were born a predatory nation.

The minister thought that His Majesty must not be merciful to this kind of race, and that we should attack quickly before the Huns could not bear to plunder the Han Dynasty. ”

"You mean you want me to start preparing now?"

"Yes, does Your Majesty still lack anything?

The treasury of the Han Dynasty is sufficient, and the grain in the granaries in various places has been piled up and cannot be put down.

The ordnance is enough to equip an army of 500,000, and there are already 100,000 war horses.

The soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty, who have not fought for a long time, need an earth-shattering war to prove their worth to Your Majesty! ”

"Then Taixue Ling is willing to fight with the Huns?"

Liu Che didn't rush to agree to Zhang Yuan, but smiled playfully and asked Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan fainted all of a sudden, Ma De, I just suggested, but I didn't say that I was going to the grassland to fight the Huns.

But more than 100 people in the court are staring at Zhang Yuan, and if they don't agree now, someone will attack Zhang Yuan soon.

You don't dare to go yourself, and you still want to fool Liu Che and let others go to war with the Huns.

"Well, if Your Majesty gives the minister a chance, the minister will immediately put on his uniform, sharpen his blade, and wait to drink the blood of the Huns!"

"Hey, hey, that's it.

Taixue Ling still stays in Chang'an City, and its role is relatively large.

The matter of the conquest will be handed over to the servant, and your brothers can make the Han prosperous only if they have one article and one martial arts. ”

The excitement on Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing's faces couldn't be hidden at all, Zhang Yuan took the risk to invite Wei Qing in for, just thinking that military power could not be sidelined.

No matter what the situation is, the greatest credit must be Wei Qing's.

Moreover, if the Han wants to win, Wei Qing must be in charge of the military power of the army.

"From now on, he will be promoted to the former general of the imperial servant Wei Qing, commanding 100,000 soldiers of the Han Dynasty and enjoying the right to open the mansion.

Next year, he will lead the army to the expedition and sweep Monan with the great Han Tianwei! ”

Wei Qing is Liu Chefeng's first official general, and Li Guang and their titles were all miscellaneous generals earlier.

General Tun and the like do not have the power to open a government system.

Now only the prime minister can open a mansion, and the princes can also do it.

However, for the generals to open the government, there are only generals in the front and back, left and right, as well as General Wei, General Che Cavalry, General Hussar and the general who can dominate both the military and the government.

The general bowed, and something was directly announced over there.

Since then, the Han Dynasty has entered into the war, not as external expansion as it is now, but it is still developing internally.

The general has the power to use all the resources of the whole country for war.

What does this mean?

This is actually another form of military junta.

But generally speaking, not to mention the great generals, these other generals, including the column generals, are not permanent.

Giving a general a title means handing over military power to that general.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty was extremely insecure, and they would not do this.

"Chen Weiqing, thank Your Majesty!"

Wei Qing knelt down directly and kowtowed to Liu Che.

It doesn't have to be like this, but because this former general will also be worshiped by Liu Che at that time.

Bowing in front of the army will show a king's trust in the army to the general.

At that time, Liu Che will also bow to Wei Qing, and now it is wise for Wei Qing to kowtow directly.

Regardless of whether it is a form or not, a son of heaven will definitely not feel very comfortable in his heart when he gives a gift to his courtiers, and now Wei Qing just wants to make up for it.

"Former generals don't have to be like this, don't let me live up to my trust in you.

After you go back, you can open a mansion in Dinghu Yanshou Palace, with Dinghu Yanshou Palace as the camp of the former general. ”

There are not many mansions in Chang'an City, and there are no palaces that can be used to open mansions.

Jianzhang Palace and the palaces in Chang'an City cannot be used by Wei Qing, and the Dinghu Yanshou Palace, which has now been abandoned, has become a better choice.

"Obey the order!"

From Zhang Yuan's dedication of the map to Wei Qing's appointment as a former general, it didn't take long at all, and those who wanted to oppose it had not yet been born, and Liu Che had already decided.

But now that the imperial doctor and the prime minister in the main hall are not there, it seems that no one can refute Liu Che's willful behavior.

After speaking, Liu Che returned to his position, sat down and said to all the ministers in the palace.

"I decided to attack on all fronts on this expedition, I don't care about the gains and losses of one army and one pawn, my Han dynasty has been defeated many times against the Xiongnu in the past 70 years.

As a result, morale has been weakened and the prestige of the country has been lost.

This situation must be completely reversed from now on!

I want to tell the world clearly and unambiguously that from now on, the offense and defense will change shape!

Kou can go, I can go too! ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, staring at Liu Che.

I saw from this emperor what self-confidence is, and when Zhang Yuan was confident, he could only reflect his own self-confidence.

And Liu Che's self-confidence exudes, that is the self-confidence of a nation.

Liu Che, who said this, exuded endless brilliance on his body.

"Military success or failure is important, but it is even more important to show the world the attitude of the imperial court!

I don't want the princes to be afraid, Taixue Ling is right, the Han doesn't need to prepare at the moment, and the treasury must have everything!

As for now, if all of you have no objection, fully support this war.

Engage in a fierce battle first, and then go to see you! ”

Liu Che said very domineeringly, didn't give anyone a chance to refute, and got up and left after speaking!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

It seems that apart from this sentence, the ministers have nothing more to say.

"Congratulations to the former general, congratulations to Taixueling.

If this battle is won a year later, I am afraid that the Han will have two more marquises. ”

As soon as Liu Che left, Pingyang Hou Cao Shi came up to congratulate him.

Zhang Yuan bowed deeply to Pingyang Hou Caoshi, he had just been helped by Pingyang Hou, otherwise Zhang Yuan would really be trapped.

"Pingyang Hou laughed, maybe there will be a time to count on Pingyang Hou in the future."

"The two of you take a lot of care of my family Cao Xiang on weekdays, and Ben Hou happens to be in Chang'an today, so he just does a little bit of effort, it's nothing."

Wei Qing smiled at Pingyang Hou, he was still relatively restrained.

This one is Wei Qing's previous master after all, no matter what, but the relationship in the future is more complicated.

"After the lower officials go back, they will listen to what the Marquis of Pingyang said and offer this Zhenyue Shangfang up."

"It's really good that Taixue Ling can listen to Benhou's words."
