Praise said:

The snow fell in Chang'an, and the wind passed through Beiping. This time, the first 10,000 miles Pengcheng.

The smoke and dust did not disperse, and the drums of war stopped for a while.

Drunken songs, swords, and mountains.

Riding horses to chase dreams, talking and laughing, like fairies, looking down on fame.

Heroic feats, heroes here.

One day of clouds, nine days of moon, full of stars!

Night on the prairie is here again, with blazing bonfires burning on the snow-covered meadows, and a full moon hanging coldly in the night sky. The lively atmosphere near and far finally quieted down.

The celebration of the Han army camp ended very successfully. The mellow wine, the sumptuous all kinds of food, so that the soldiers forgot that this is in the battlefield where the two armies once fought, the wine is in the hearty, some people draw their swords and dance, sing long, and the rest of the people hit the armor with swords, and they are in harmony. Its generous and tragic voice made the Yellow River whimper and the clouds change color.

In such an environment, people's mood has become pure, and all kinds of tricks and calculations seem to have been temporarily abandoned. Seeing that the soldiers all returned to the camp to rest, and only a very small number of generals stayed, Prime Minister Sun Hong restrained his expression and looked sideways at the person who was still singing generously with everyone just now.

"In this way, Yuanhou really put down all his grievances? You won't be entangled in your heart, will you? ”

"Of course! Evildoers deserve retribution. How could I hold on to it! ”

"That's great! The two intentions that His Majesty the Emperor has given us can be regarded as the complete and successful completion of all of them. Haha, it's not in vain that the old man ran all the way with this old bone. Yuanhou is open-minded, admirable! ”

Gongsun Hong's exclamation is from the heart. Such a tricky mission, since he came out of Chang'an, he has been secretly embarrassed in his heart. As for whether he could settle things according to the emperor's wishes, he was not sure in his heart. Now after seeing that Yuan Zhao knew everything, he said with a relaxed expression that this matter was over. All Gongsun Hong's worries disappeared without a trace, and he even secretly rejoiced that the king of Jiangdu died at such a time, as soon as he died, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and everyone felt relieved. It's really good, wonderful, and croaking!

As for how sad the queen mother was in Weiyang Palace, it was not within their consideration. In order to keep the Hetao grassland that he had just captured, Changle Hou was very worried! Not only personally led the garrison here, but also in order to boost morale, he did not hesitate to personally slaughter sheep and cattle for the soldiers. How can such a loyal man be suspicious in the slightest?

This is not only the true thoughts of Gongsun Hong, but also the true thoughts of Feng Yanzhi, Li Kang and others. Everyone's opinions are surprisingly unanimous, if after returning to Chang'an, there are still people who will implicate Yuan Zhao for the death of King Jiangdu, then no matter who it is, they must unswervingly stand up and testify for him.

"Brother Yuan, the grassland here is so vast, this is the first time that our Han Dynasty army has attacked here. So if the Huns are going to launch a major counterattack in the near future, will we be able to hold it? ”

Since the crown prince Liu Ju is gone, he is naturally excited. Although he has not officially participated in state affairs, the princes and subordinates of Bowangyuan have explained to him the situation in the world, and he still has a clear understanding of the balance of power between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

Yuan Zhao smiled slightly, the first question he ever asked was not the prince in front of him, but the emperor. When Pegasus, the original plan for the Henan Campaign, was sent to Chang'an, Emperor Liu Che had already sent someone to ask about it. Yuan Zhao's answer to the question of bringing them back at that time was that since the Han army had the ability to attack the Hetao grassland, an important strategic location, it must have the ability to hold it firmly.

"If the Han wants to defeat the Xiongnu, the first thing to consider is not how to hold the captured place, but how to attack! The best defense is offense. There is only constant attack, victory, attack again, victory again...... in order to completely defeat the Huns. Hehe, when I say defeat, I don't just defeat their forces, but I mean defeating their will, conquering their hearts, so that they will completely belong to the will of the Han from now on, and never dare to rise up again! ”

Yuan Zhao retold the words he had said to the emperor in the recital to the people in front of him as it was. In particular, these lieutenant generals and colonels must be the most important force in the future war against the Huns, and he must make them understand this purpose, and as the highest guiding direction, let them unleash their ambition and ability, and conquer the front of this vast steppe!

All the generals and colonies of the Han army who had the honor to listen to him by the bonfire tonight, from Wei Qing to Gongsun Rongnu and Cao Xiang...... Until Xiaoice, she kept these words firmly in her heart. In the Han-Hungarian War in the following years, they set foot on the grasslands with their eagles and long knives, from the Tianshan Mountains to the Qilian Mountains, from the Hetao to the Wolf Juxu Mountains, and almost all the grasslands except the desert. The sound of horses' hooves in the Han Empire has finally become a nightmare that makes the Huns tremble!

"Brother Yuan, let's go back to Chang'an together tomorrow! The Queen Mother asked me to bring a message to you and my uncle, hoping to see you at the upcoming post-closure ceremony. ”

The crown prince Liu Ju's eyes flashed brightly, and the subordinate officials who followed behind him were extremely excited. At this moment, anyone can foresee how smooth and broad the future road of this crown prince will be with such a strong arm in the army.

Yuan Zhao nodded. yes, it's time to go back, it's over. After this blow, the Huns will not easily offend the Han army in a short period of time. Of course, some small groups of invasions cannot be avoided, and if there is an opportunity, they may launch a surprise attack. But will you give them such a chance?

"Good! Once everything is arranged, we are ready to go. However, Prime Minister Gongsun, before sending out the recital in your hand, you might as well add two more sentences. Hehe! ”

"Oh? Yuanhou, please speak. ”

Gongsun Hong, who was on the side, knew that the emperor was waiting for an urgent return, he had already written the situation clearly, and was about to send the Yulin army to ride back to Chang'an in the starry night, when he heard that Yuan Zhao still had something to say, he motioned to the messenger to wait.

"As an important strategic location, the Hetao grassland needs to be garrisoned by a large army, how can our soldiers live in tents for a long time! It's time to build a few great cities here. Building the city and defending it is equivalent to advancing the front line of Yanmen Pass to the bank of the Yellow River. The hooves of the Huns will not be able to cross from here, and the next time we conquer them, we can assemble our army and set out from here. This is called the exchange of offensive and defensive momentum! ”

What the? Building a city? You heard that right! As soon as Yuan Zhao's words came out, not only Prime Minister Sun Hong was taken aback, but even the crown prince Liu Ju and everyone else were a little stunned.

"Yuanhou, you mean to ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission to build a city on this Hetao grassland?"

"Yes, exactly. Don't you think it's okay for the prime minister? ”

"W-How is this possible? It's not a question of whether it works, it's simply impossible! Yuanhou can know that there are too many difficulties and risks in this....... ”

"Hehe, there is nothing impossible in the world, it depends on whether you can find the most suitable way. Prime Minister, don't worry too much, I know all the difficulties you mentioned, but there are always more ways than difficulties. Time is running out now, so it's too late to explain. In the recital, please ask His Majesty the Emperor, in the name of the two of us, to organize the men as quickly as possible, and go north out of the Saiwai and go to the Hetao grassland. To carry out a vigorous winter mass production campaign, hehe, it is not impossible! ”

Gongsun Hong felt a little confused in his head, but he saw that although Yuan Zhao's tone was a little ridiculous, what he said didn't look like a joke. couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, did he really have a way to overcome many difficulties and build a Xiongcheng on this grassland?

"Yuanhou, let's not hide it, there are really too many difficulties. large-scale construction construction, turnaround transportation, and the requisition of civilian service...... It's all about the whole body. Have you thought about the serious consequences caused by the construction of the Great Wall by Qin Shi Huangdi? The fall of the Qin Dynasty has a lot to do with this! ”

"Alright! Just know that you won't be reassured. You don't have to worry about anything else, I just tell you that there is no such thing as a large-scale construction project, and I will have other ways. And the levy of civil service, of course, cannot be avoided. However, there is no need to worry about this problem, because I think some people can make good use of it! ”

"Waste, waste utilization? Where does this begin? Please make it clear! ”

Prime Minister Gongsun Hong almost wanted to go crazy, this kid in front of him was talking like a cloud, mountains and fog, even if he was a long-time person in the world, he couldn't control his pulse! The people next to him pricked up their ears and looked surprised. Yuan Zhao laughed, he drew a large circle with his hand into the distance, from the foot to the place where the Yellow River was surging, as if a majestic majestic city had risen from the ground and appeared in front of him.

"The first city begins at the place where we stand! Prime Minister, you said that my Changle Hou Mansion was burned down, and the people in the mansion died for no reason, don't you need someone to be responsible? Now that the poor King of Jiangdu has passed away, can the accomplices involved in this matter and the forces behind them get away with it? I Yuanzhao is dedicated to the country, and I don't want to destroy the current good situation of stability because of personal enmity. However, the law of the Han Dynasty cannot be regarded as condoning adultery and conniving at crime, right?"

Hearing him say this, many people seemed to understand something and nodded frequently, as it should be! The little marquis's big belly can tolerate the affairs of the world, but those who have done evil and are not dead must not let them escape justice. Gongsun Hong's eyes also lit up, and his heart suddenly remembered the character of the person in front of him who had to fight in a certain aspect.

"The Great Han Shangshu ordered Yuan to summon a request for His Majesty's approval to build the three cities of Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Zhenbei in advance to reject the Xiongnu...... In addition, please order the Tingwei Mansion to track down the powerful bandits who have done many evils in Chang'an, and go to the fortress to build a city and contribute to atone for their sins! Prime Minister Gongsun, I signed the performance with you, can I do it?"
