Chapter 0059

In just a few words, the monarch and the minister defined Wei Shang's smuggling - this is fake news!

I don't know if Mr. Trump will go to this BC and ask Liu Qi for copyright fees after learning about it...

Continuing to walk on the royal road, Liu Qi asked again: "What about the fifteen-thousand-thousand?" โ€

"A lonely city in the clouds, how could it have needed so many soldiers?"

The stone that Luan Yi had just put down in his heart hung up again, and said cautiously: "In the past, there were 5,000 soldiers standing in the clouds, 3,000 bows and crossbows, 1,000 guns and shields, and 1,000 elites as reserves; Since last year's battle, my grandfather believed that the difficulty in consolidating the Yunzhong defense line was that there were too few soldiers and no successor. โ€

"The first county guarded Wei Shang Wei Gong, the reason why he was undefeated but did not win; In addition to the custom of the Huns 'snatching corpses', it was mainly caused by the fatigue of the soldiers and their inability to cover up the killing. โ€

"Thousands of elites are candidates, which is unwise and helpless..."

"Grandfather means that the archers and crossbowmen of the city wall in the clouds must have 9,000 people as the best; In such a wartime, it can be divided into three parts, taking turns to fight, and the bow and crossbow have no worries about being out of force and intermittent. โ€

"The same is true for guns and shields, and it is a good strategy to have three thousand people as three."

Liu Qi pondered for a long time, and finally nodded-although he had never been on the battlefield, as an old bacon who had been ordered by the first emperor for more than 20 years on the throne of the prince, he still had this common sense.

Repeated battles of the same unit without rotation will inevitably lead to a reduction in combat effectiveness.

After a slight calculation, Liu Qi was puzzled: "For the remaining three thousand people, General Luan wants to use elite armor soldiers as an emergency mobile force?" โ€

Luan Bu nodded, and shook his head again: "Grandfather said that there is a rotating army of guns, shields, bows and crossbows, and there is no need to set up a reserve maneuver. โ€

"There are three thousand people left, and my grandfather wants to invite Your Majesty to set up a cavalry army!"

Holding back the excitement in his heart a little, Luan Yi said: "In the past, there was another important reason why the defenders in Yunzhong could not make any gains, that is, the Huns could not capture Yunzhong, so they rode away; The soldiers in the clouds could only watch Hu Lu leave. โ€

"Besides, if you set up a cavalry army to rely on, Your Majesty will be of great use in the future..."

Hearing this, he was still thinking about how to bargain, and pressed the preparation requested by Luan Bu down to Liu Qi, and he was seriously shocked.

After pondering for a moment, he stared sideways into Luan Yi's eyes and said, "The strategy played by the internal officials to cut the domain, presumably there are rumors in the clouds, I don't know what General Luan thinks?" โ€

Luan Yi's face was straight, and he said: "Grandfather did have some encounters, and Tuo Weichen and His Majesty knew." โ€

As he spoke, Luan Yi knelt on the ground and repeated in Luan Bu's tone: "The minister died to play Your Majesty." Freezing three feet, not a day's cold; If you want to turn it into it, it is not a day's work. โ€

"Be cautious at every step; Don't be in such a hurry that the whole world will be ruined. โ€

"The old man is decayed and deaf, and he deserves death for his humble opinion, and he deserves death..."

Looking at Luan Yi, who was deeply buried, Liu Qi had mixed feelings in his heart.

As soon as the strategy of cutting the feudal domain came out, Luan Bu had already seen through the benefits and disadvantages and the possible consequences.

He is worthy of being an immortal minister who has gone through several dynasties!

However, this kind of persuasion to him to 'take your time, don't worry', Liu Qi has heard countless people say it, and his ears are calloused.

Now he doesn't need someone to dictate his decision-making!

He just needs Luan Bu to give an attitude: for or against.

As for neutrality...

Hum!

Tao Qing, a master of neutrality, has made Liu Qi unhappy for a long time!

Raising his head and looking at the palace bell in the distance, Liu Qi said quietly: "In addition, does General Luan have anything to say to Aiqing and me?" โ€

Luan Yi stood up, patted the dirt on his trouser leg, and said slightly: "As soon as the strategy of cutting the feudal domain comes out, the princes will be unstable, and it is even more inevitable that the Huns will take the opportunity to make trouble; In this way, the clouds will be heavily guarded, and then three thousand knights will be maneuvered. โ€

"If the Huns invade the border, this cavalry can make them fearful; There are unforeseen circumstances in the world, and this cavalry army can also gallop to the Central Plains to eradicate the blade of the traitor for His Majesty! โ€

Liu Qi frowned all the way, and finally evacuated at this moment, and the depression in his chest was replaced by ambition: "Okay!" โ€

"Hearing General Luan's words, my heart is settled!"

Raising a standing field army of 15,000 is indeed too expensive for a border city.

But if this army is to ensure that the Huns are blocked outside the Great Wall, so that Liu Qi can concentrate on dealing with the separatist forces of the princes in the country...

This army has to raise money to build up by selling bottoms!

Not to mention the three thousand cavalry, it tickled Liu Qi's heart.

The courtiers are not outstanding in performance, and may be reprimanded or even belittled; As an emperor, is there no performance pressure?

Wrong!

Compared to the performance pressure of the emperor, the courtiers are simply vacationing in paradise!

If the performance of officials is poor, that is, they lose their black hats, and if they stand up to the sky, they will be beheaded.

If the emperor has no performance, the consequences will be much more serious!

It is true that no one dares to accuse Liu Qi and say: How did you become an emperor?

But like Cao Shen, there are many courtiers who dare to spit on the emperor who has no performance!

Not to mention those seventy or eighty years old, who have no desires and no desires, and just want to live a 'auxiliary government' like Zhou Gong.

So, what is the standard of the emperor's performance?

If you can't compare with the far other, then compare with the first emperor to see who does it well.

So, it's not a good thing that Daddy is too capable...

As the son of Emperor Xiaowen of Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, the son of Liu Heng, who is affectionately called the 'living saint', Liu Qi's performance pressure is really great...

Whenever there is any small resistance to the policies they implement, a large number of people will jump out and say in a strange way, 'How peaceful the world was during the first emperor's time, and how good the life of the people was'.

This is the fundamental reason why Liu Qi knew that cutting the feudal domain might lead to a rebellion, but still supported Chao Cuo.

It's really the father of the first emperor, and he basically finished all the abilities...

And well done!

Whether it is the head of the common people, the landlords and gentry, the literati and doctors, the courtiers and relatives, all regard the first emperor as a holy monarch who is 'second only to the three emperors and five emperors'.

Then he makes a comparison, who the isn't in a hurry?

Let's put it this way - there are a total of twenty-four emperors in the entire Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, except for Gaozu Liu Bang and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who are in the top two because of their founding achievements and Zhongxing's achievements, only Emperor Wu Xiaozhu is barely ranked in front of him because of his great achievements in destroying the Huns!

There have been hundreds of emperors in the entire feudal history of China, except for the founding emperor, and Tang Taizong may be able to compare with him who is more holy.

What should Liu Qineng do?

Of course, I want to find a way to do something that the first emperor's father couldn't do, to prove that he is 'blue'!

But looking at it...

The world has been ruled almost perfectly by the first emperor, just like Brother Li of S4, almost flawless...

Under such an opportunity, Chao Cuo's proposal of 'first securing the inside, and then the outside' was highly valued and approved by Liu Qi.

The only thing to suppress the princes and kings where the internal hidden dangers are located, and to defeat the national enemy of the Huns, is something that the first emperor's father failed to do.

To some extent, Liu Qi is actually just a flesh-and-blood person.

Clearing the obstacles and external troubles for future generations may also be one of his considerations, but it is by no means the main consideration now.

Now he is just a hot-blooded man who has developed sophisticated political skills through more than 20 years of study, and then wants to surpass the achievements of his ancestors in one fell swoop!

The policy of cutting the feudal domain has not yet been officially implemented, but in the research stage, the opposition and resistance of the court have already made Liu Qi helpless; What do you mention about the princes of internal security and the Huns outside?

In his drowning state, the news brought by Luan Yi is tantamount to a stronger life-saving straw - Chao Cuo, who has been treated as a street rat by the court...

The support of an old-school officer and aristocrat gave Liu Qi complete confidence, even if King Wu's second brother really dared to rebel, Liu Qi would not be worthy!

After the internal stability is settled, it is necessary to fight a decisive battle with the Huns!

The cavalry unit proposed by Luan Bu can also come in handy!

Seeing the change in the face of the Son of Heaven, like a spring breeze, Luan Yi was sure in his heart: he should have successfully completed the task.

What he was worried about was not the opposition of the Son of Heaven, but...

Last year, why did the Son of Heaven pull Luanbu's pigtails?

Isn't it because the military power is controlled by foreign ministers that it is difficult for His Majesty to sleep?

If it weren't for His Majesty bowing his head and accepting sincerity, he wouldn't have to go to Chang'an, let alone marry Chao Cuo...

Slandering, the laughter of the Son of Heaven reached his ears.

"I'm right."

"A bow and crossbow arrows, spears and huge shields are all transferred from the Chang'an arsenal, and in a few days I will order the Shaofu to be responsible for the inventory, and Aiqing will bring them back to the clouds when he returns."

"As for the cavalry..."

Liu Qi touched his chin and pondered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "Mu Nan is still under the control of the Xiongnu, and my Han family is in short supply of horses. โ€

"In this way, I ordered the Shaofu to allocate a thousand gold to the clouds, and Luan Gong could communicate with Hu Shang and build a horse farm in the clouds; The relevant officials were transferred by the servants. โ€

Luan Yi was overjoyed at first, and when he heard that he was going to let the servant Yamen be in charge of the racecourse, his heart became entangled again.

The fat head and big ears of the stupid worms, not to mention raising horses, it would be good if you could not slaughter horses for meat!

But if you oppose it, will it make Your Majesty think that your grandfather has ulterior motives and bad intentions?

Seeing that Luan Yi did not have the joy he imagined, Liu Qi also guessed the concerns in his heart, and said angrily: "Du Wei has no high opinions? โ€

Even if he didn't want to, Luan Yi could only bow his head and say: "No, your grandfather Xie Majesty..."

Seeing this, the instinctive vigilance in Liu Qi's heart disappeared, and he slapped Luan Yi's head: "Dare to be clever in front of me!" โ€

"Rest assured, I will only send miscellaneous officials to help the horse farm get on the right track; The horse farm in the clouds is not under the jurisdiction of the servants. โ€

Luan Yihan smiled and touched the back of his head: "Your Majesty Xie~"

In the distance behind the two, Chun Tuo, who was watching this scene, was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, did you slap Captain Luan?"

The samurai next to him wondered, "Yes, what's wrong?" โ€

Chun Tuo turned a deaf ear, and looked at Luan Yi who was in front of Liu Qi with a complicated face.

"This son, I'm afraid it's in the eyes of His Majesty..."
