"Anything to say?" Shangwu asked.

"On the issue of dealing with the Huns, I think it should be carried out according to Ma Heng's method, in this case, it is more beneficial to us, and we must not be merciful in dealing with the Huns." Jia Xu said.

"Well, why?" Shang Wen knows some truths, only when the opponent has no chance to fight back, can he be regarded as completely subduing the opponent.

"The Huns have always been unruly, every time the Central Plains Dynasty is the weakest, they will enter here to settle down, but once they recover, they will become hungry wolves, a hungry wolf with a bloody mouth, the same is true of the northern nomadic tribes, and the same is true of those tribes in the west." Jia Xu said.

"So, on this issue, I think we should stick to Ma Heng's approach, and his approach is correct." Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded, he didn't make up his mind to express any of his opinions. For example, on the issue of prisoners of war, he insisted on his own views, but on the issue of the Huns, he had to consider some practical circumstances, knowing that in the next few decades, it would be an extremely chaotic and dark period of chaos and chaos. It was a time of great chaos, and Rome, which was at its peak in the West, would have become extremely frightened by the appearance of such a Xiongnu.

"I remember a general saying that. He said that there is only one kind of enemy that is friendly. Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

"What enemy? Will they still be friendly? Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu and asked.

"A dead enemy, only a dead enemy will be friendly." Shang Wu said. Shang Wu borrowed from Patton's famous saying, and only when dealing with the enemy is to completely defeat the opponent, and collect all the opponent's skills and what they are most proud of into their own part, only such an enemy is the most docile. And Shang Wu decided to say the same.

"That's a wise saying." Jia Xu said with a smile. He knew what Shangwu was thinking. Apparently he agreed. That is to say, on the issue of the Huns, they have only one word, fight, fight until the other party surrenders. That's what they're going to do right now.

"Yes, but this also shows our attitude, but we must pay attention to one problem, that is, what we need is cavalry, that is to say, our direct goal in fighting them is to form our own cavalry troops, what we are currently lacking is cavalry, without so many cavalry, it is difficult for us to maintain, we not only have to fight over, but also to govern there, the northern grasslands we have to occupy a broader area, starting from the Hetao, and knocking down the entire northern grasslands." Shang Wu said. Maybe Shang Wu's voice was a little louder. Ma Heng noticed this, and when he saw Shang Wu's decision, he knew that he was with the right person.

"Lay down the whole grassland?" Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu and asked.

"Yes, the whole grassland, not only do we lay down the grassland, but we also have to incorporate the entire grassland into our territory, and at the same time, change our diet. You see it too. Our soldiers lacked a lot of meat, and we could have made canned meat, but as a result, we lacked enough cattle and sheep. We can't make such a product, we don't have a shortage of food, we can't just focus on food, we also have to focus on meat, at least, under our governance, everyone eats a few dumplings a month, which is not too much. Shang Wu said.

"Yes. It's a good idea, we should also eat meat dumplings. Jia Xu said.

"Sir, we'll follow you." Ma Heng walked over at this time and said.

"You all heard that," Shang Wu looked at Xu Dou.

"Yes, sir, you are going to improve our diet or something, we know that the brethren will be able to eat meat in the future." Ma Heng said.

"Yes. In this way, why should the brothers only eat meat after a great victory, and we should also kill the north and rob the cattle and sheep of the Huns, so that we can eat dumplings and drink dumpling soup. Xu Dou said.

"Report." A staff officer came over with a new report.

"Good. Our idea is simple, it is to grab cattle and sheep. Eat dumplings. Shang Wu said with a powerful arm.

"You go back and tell the troops, so that they are prepared for this, and at the same time, you have to think about the battle you will face first, and then the infantry against the cavalry. Sooner or later, cavalry will have to be built, we have to adapt to long-distance mobile combat, in short, we must be prepared for this. ”

Shang Wu said. Then Shang Wu took the report and looked.

"Understood, sir." The two of them said excitedly. In this way, the two of them knew that fighting the Huns was far greater than the actual significance of the Great Emperor Fu Song, first of all, Huang Fu Song would definitely stick to the end, and in the end they didn't know how much casualties they paid, but they were in a much better situation when they fought the Huns. At the very least, there will be no shortage of loot. If they fight well, they will eat a lot of meat every day in the future, which will make their situation much better. The two of them were about to leave here in excitement.

"Wait. Come back. Shang Wu called the two men back at this time.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The two of them asked Shang Wu in confusion, they didn't know what Shang Wu wanted to do.

"Look at this, it's good for you next." Shang Wu handed the report in his hand to the two of them as he spoke, and at the same time asked the two of them to sit down and discuss the matter.

"You two may not know that the current situation of the Red Turban Army is not optimistic, especially in terms of finances." Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded. It is said that such things should indeed be said, after all, they have the right to know all this, and these are things that are of great benefit to them.

"The reason why the two of you are allowed to go out to fight with two infantry divisions is because the base area cannot support more troops, and the people in the base area live very hard, they can only drink two meals of gruel a day, although it is much better than before, but this kind of life must not continue for a long time. We have to have a respite. Peace talks, we want to make peace with the imperial court, so that the imperial court can recognize the status of our rebel army and become legitimate, and at the same time, we can ease the tense situation with the imperial court, so that our base areas can breathe. Shang Wu said.

"And you are fighting, in fact, more so that you can relieve the pressure on the base areas, and at the same time be able to create more base areas and solve the problems on the land." Jia Xu said.

"These words were originally meant to be said to you later, but since things have changed, I must tell the two of you that the current situation is different." Jia Xu continued. Shang Wu and Jia Xu can cooperate, and the two of them are like saying that cross talk is paired with double reeds. In such a situation, the two of them are really doing very well.

"Sir, we all know this, and we've seen a lot along the way." Ma Heng said.

"So, you have to understand some of our current behaviors, for counties like Handan and Huguan, local officials can't kill at will, they must protect their families, let them leave smoothly, try to persuade them to leave here, we are not accepting their surrender, they just evacuate according to the order, if necessary, we can hold a farewell party to let them leave here." Shang Wu said.

"This." Xu Dou was a little embarrassed, you know, the two sides are still fighting very lively, let them get this all at once. Xu Dou couldn't accept it.

"You must understand that we should not further intensify the contradictions with the imperial court, that is, we must now take down the other party's Handan City in harmony." Shang Wu said.

The report came from Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng was afraid that he would come late, so he quickly wrote a letter, which became an important report, in which the hole cards of the imperial court were written in detail, and they could accept the loss of a series of county towns near Handan, however, the export of firearms must be carried out, as for the situation in Shangdang County, it was not mentioned in the letter, but Shang Wu decided to strike first and invite the officials and military forces in that area out in advance. In other words, Handan is already within the scope of the official army's abandonment. Shangwu just hopes that for such a city, he will not attack too harshly. At the same time, it also needs to be able to leave here quickly, creating a very good opportunity for both sides to reduce casualties. This is a blessing in the midst of misfortune.

"Sir, this is a bit difficult." Xu Dou thought about it and said it like this.

"Those court officials, if they don't get such an order. They can't retreat. Ma Heng also said worriedly.

"Well, we'll give the order, and you guys will figure out how to get them out of here." Shang Wu said.

"Attack the heart first, attack the city down. As a last resort, we can finally choose the way to attack the city. Jia Xu added.

"Oh." The two of them were in trouble. Because they lack too much of what they lack. To know. It's not easy to do something like this.

The two of them scratched their heads and left the place, not at all like they were excited to jump up just now.

"Isn't it a little hard for them to do this?" Jia Xu said to Shang Wu.

"Difficult? Maybe we'll all have to do it in the future. To be honest, I don't even want to do anything like that, you know, how much of an impact it would have on us. Shang Wu said to Jia Xu.

"I understand that." Jia Xu said.

"However, we still have to get orders. Let the defenders of Handan City get out of here on their own. I don't think it's possible for the court to give such an order. Unless. Jia Xu thought about it and said.

"Unless you let Zhang Rang think of such a solution, right?" Shangwu asked.

"Yes, that's it, they can do things like this, a lot of things are actually him, he can do it, we can actually, we can do it." Jia Xu said.

"Well, if that's the case, then try it, if they can get out of here smoothly, it will be good for us." Shang Wu said.

Outside Huguan County. Suddenly, the gates opened, and a large crowd of the city's inhabitants were released. The Red Turban Army watched this scene nervously.

"Leaders of the Red Turbans, don't get angry. Don't get angry. "These residents have seen on the tower that the Red Turbans have a weapon that can shoot flames, and the flying bullets will completely destroy them, they don't know what it means to shoot, they just hope that they don't fire at will, so that they can die.

"Hands up, quick, get in line, or we'll shoot." A red turban platoon commander shouted.

"Hands up, line up, hurry." Some squad leaders and sergeants also shouted loudly, and the bold ones stood up with muskets.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender, we surrender." Those were some of the people of the city, who were quietly lining up with their hands raised. Get out of here.

"Don't shoot." The people trembled and raised their hands as they passed through the Red Turban Army's position. The Red Turban Army wished that the defenders would come out and fight them, and attacking Huguan County would make them pay a heavy price. But in the field, they can eliminate a large number of officers and soldiers.

Soon, this group of people was organized, and through interrogation, they did not find that the spies of the official army were mixed in, they were just ordinary people in the city, because the official army had no food, and there was not enough food, so they were bombed out.

Inside Li Yun's headquarters.

"Sir, based on our interrogation, we know. There is not much food in the city. It may take another fifteen days, and their city will be starved of food. These people, the defenders had to drive them out in order to save food. However, this is a big problem for us. A staff officer said worriedly.

"These people are all mouths for eating, and our food is not very sufficient. I wonder how the battle is going over there? A staff officer said.

"Then continue to surround them, these people, all send them to the rear, tell them that as long as they go to the rear, they will give them food, and they will not work, and they will not be given food." Li Yun thought for a while and said.

"Yes. Sir. The staff officer nodded and left the place. They couldn't agree more. In such a situation, they have to think about a lot of things. Only in this way can some difficult tasks be accomplished.

"Sir, are we really going to give them food?" A staff officer asked his commander worriedly.

"If they don't give them food, they will starve to death, in that case, our situation will be even worse, even though they live in the city, we can't starve them to death." Li Yun said.

"Report the situation here to the chief as soon as possible, and say, Huguan City, it's about to run out of food." Li Yun said with a telescope.

"Yes, sir." A staff officer agreed and hurried to write a report.
