"Of course, this matter has to be commanded by Lord Wang himself, where can the others be competent, and where can they serve the public?"

Huo Jianghai said word by word: "Although the result of our discussion last time did not conform to the current situation, the essence of the matter is the same, we are all going to fight against the Huns. At the moment, it's just a little bit of a plan in advance, and it doesn't hurt. Of course, whether Lord Wang wants to go or not depends on his opinion. All in all, we must maintain a high degree of consistency in the battle plan against the Huns this time. ”

Liu Xin said to Wang Mang: "Lord Wang, what do you mean?" Will you still send 200,000 troops this time? What is your battle plan? Can we defeat the enemy? ”

When it came to the real major events related to the world, Wang Mang didn't dare to be careless, put away the face that had just ridiculed Feng Yi, and showed a dignified expression.

"Your Majesty, for the matter of the Huns waving their troops south, the minister is not very sure that he can defeat the enemy. As everyone knows, the Xiongnu army is strong and strong, but it lives on nomadism, and the individual troops are more powerful and powerful than us, and the overall quality is higher. The minister can only say that he will try his best to deal with them and do his best to defeat the enemy.

As for the troops, the minister had already given the order last night, and the 200,000-strong army accelerated its march. According to estimates, it will take about 20 days to reach Gansu and rush to the aid of Yumen Pass. The minister has no objection to the matter of commanding the army this time, and it is all up to your lordship's arrangement.

Also, I hope that Your Majesty will grant me a few small requests, or a few small wishes. In this way, the minister will be able to resist the enemy more confidently. ”

"What requirements? What wishes? Aiqing can talk quickly. As long as I can do it, I can't do anything. ”

Wang Mang said: "First, I hope Your Majesty can talk to Huo Xiangye and send some Murong family masters to help me." I have heard that the Murong family has some unique knowledge and can fly pigeons to pass on books. Ministers are fighting on the battlefield, and the transmission of intelligence information is particularly important. If the minister can get the help of the Murong family, it will definitely be a lot.

Second, the minister hoped that His Majesty would issue a decree to appoint my uncle Wang Xianzhi as the general of the hussars, and assist the minister in the battle to kill the enemy. My uncle used to be the general of Huwei in Yuzhou, and his prestige was very high, and if I had his help, it would be like a tiger with wings.

Third, the minister hoped that His Majesty would immediately summon the world to truthfully inform the people of the border war, and make clear the situation of the troops urgently transferred by the major families this time, so as to stabilize the people's hearts.

The minister thought that paper could not contain the fire after all, and now only by letting the people know the war situation for the first time would the people feel at ease and the people's hearts would be more cohesive. At the same time, the minister can also take advantage of this hatred of the enemy to overcome all kinds of difficulties and pacify the Quartet.

In the end, the minister plans to leave for Gansu in half a month, and now I still need to collect more information, make more preparations, carefully analyze the battle situation, consider the deployment of the army's formation, and think of a plan to defeat the enemy. As for my uncle, as long as His Majesty's will is delivered, he will immediately set off for Yumen Pass to lead the army into battle. ”

Liu Xin listened carefully to Wang Mang's requests, thinking about them one by one in his heart.

Now that he heard about it, he smiled faintly; "Wang Aiqing, I thought you were going to make some big request, it turned out to be these. Hehe, I can't do your first request, you can talk to Huo Xiangye yourself. As for the rest of the requests, I will compliment them all, and immediately summon your uncle to be the general of the hussars, to assist you in commanding the army to kill the enemy, and to inform the people in detail of all the circumstances.

All in all, Aiqing, you only need to deal with the front-line battles with all your might, and the details of the side branches in the rear will definitely be taken care of by me and the ministers. Never add to your burden. ”

"That's fine!"

Wang Mang nodded and asked Huo Jianghai, "Huo Xiangye, I don't know what you mean?" Can the Murong family help one or two? ”

Huo Jianghai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have to discuss this matter with them, but I don't think it's a big problem." It's just that I want to ask Lord Wang, why did you wait half a month before going to Yumen Pass? Why not go earlier? ”

Wang Mang said: "I need to judge the overall quality of our army according to the changes in the people's will, if I had passed earlier, it would be equivalent to being far away from the people, and I could not better perceive the people's will, and there would be negligence in commanding the soldiers to rise." After all, the combat effectiveness of the army is linked to public opinion. Of course, there were a few other questions that I won't go into one by one, so I couldn't get there early.

Huo Xiangye, although I delayed my departure for half a month, I estimate that it will not be too late for me to arrive at Yumen Pass, and I should arrive at the same time when the army arrives at Yumen Pass. ”。

"Is the combat effectiveness of a soldier linked to public opinion? Hehe, this is the first time I've heard this kind of statement, it seems that Lord Wang, you do have a good way, very comparable. "Huojiang Haidao.

Wang Mang was a little happy when he received his reply.

"As the saying goes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. The country rises and falls, and the husband is not guilty. Ladies and gentlemen, as long as we work together, act in unison, and keep our thoughts intimate, then we will be able to sweep through the barbarians in all directions, suppress the borders, and restore the peace of the people, and our name will be immortal through the ages. ”

"Mang'er, that's a good point!" Wang Xiannian applauded: "Foreign affairs are foreign affairs, and internal affairs are internal affairs." With regard to foreign affairs, we must maintain all kinds of unanimity, put aside all kinds of grievances and grievances, and first resolve all kinds of external contradictions. After the external problems are completely resolved, we can free up our hands and take our time to deal with the various private grievances that have been held before. ”

"That's the way it goes." Wei Gong said coldly: "This matter is decided. Before there is an accurate result of the war on the frontier, no one can stir up disputes privately, and no one can take the opportunity to attack other people's territory....

If anyone dares to violate the internal armistice agreement during this period of time when the Xiongnu are fighting, disrupt harmony, and affect the overall situation, we must attack them in groups and exterminate their ten tribes.

At the same time, I ask you to strictly investigate the situation of the officials in various places, prevent them from ventilating and reporting the news, and do not let any traitors in our court get involved, and do your best to stabilize the people's hearts. Everyone must know that if the battle on the front line is lost, we must all finish the game. I don't think you have the ability to fight against the entire Xiongnu and many small barbarian countries on your own, right? ”

"What Master Wei said is very true, we must remember the agreement, strictly discipline ourselves, and never hold back at this juncture." Everyone replied in unison.

Wei Gonghan showed a look of satisfaction, and threatened Feng Yi, Ji Yun and the others: "I know that there is a mutual enmity between you and Wang Mang, and both sides are eager to kill each other. But I warn you, if you dare to make trouble at this time, I will definitely unite with all the ministers to destroy your state in one fell swoop.

The old man has lived a long time, and he has almost lived enough. If the old man can pull a few of you as a cushion when he dies, I will be happy. ”
