In the imperial garden, on the sandalwood soft couch in the middle of the pavilion, where Liu Hong, the emaciated Emperor of Han Ling, was leaning on, and at this time, the most noble golden silk dragon robe in the world could not cover the dead air emanating from his bones; Although the two eyes seemed to be in good spirits, the deep dim cheeks and the completely dry body all showed that the emperor was terminally ill.

A little boy snuggled up to Emperor Ling's side, with a pair of bright big eyes quietly looking at everything around him, it was the second son of the emperor Liu Xie, he was only 7 years old this year and he couldn't really understand his situation, the towering backer around him was about to collapse, followed by countless careerists to launch an impact on the throne of the king again and again, and what was waiting for him would be like a puppet to be manipulated for a lifetime of tragic fate!

Next to the most noble father and son of the Han Dynasty, Situ Wang Yun, who was wearing a red civil official uniform and a jade belt around his waist, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou who was wearing a black military general's court uniform and a rhino belt around his waist, stood respectfully, and the royal power was always sacred in their hearts, just like the sun and the moon existed eternally between heaven and earth, if the royal power was shaken, then heaven and earth would also be destroyed.

Outside the pavilion, there are a large number of palace ladies and talented women, eunuchs and eunuchs surrounding, these people hold the emperor's personal supplies in their hands, ready to listen to the master's summons, in their eyes the emperor is everything, but in the eyes of the emperor they are not people, they are the same as the copper basins, towels, umbrella covers, and the like in their hands, they are utensils! People are supposed to be created equal, but rights divide them into hierarchies!

"Your Majesty, Chen Qianshuo brought people here", the vigorous eunuch who led the way came to Emperor Han Ling, and after paying homage, he stood aside.

"It turns out that he is Qian Shuo!" Xiao Yi finally knew who was the divine who led the way for him; Jian Shuo - one of the 'Ten Standing Attendants', the number one henchman eunuch of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, known for his strong and martial arts, and is currently the 'Captain of the Military Academy' of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, commanding the forbidden army and holding military power.

"Minister, Yanmen Pass, Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Army's 'Dianjun Sima' - Xiao Yi, knock on my emperor, long live! Banzai! Hooray! "Bow your head, Xiao Yi began to pay a big salute, there is no way who calls someone the emperor, since the crossing, the most hated thing for Xiao Yi is to kowtow to someone, but for the sake of the other party who is about to 'ascend to heaven and become a god', it should be regarded as kowtowing to the dead in advance!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's mood was a little better, and at the same time, he secretly decided that sooner or later, he would stand between heaven and earth with his head held high and not bow down to anyone.

"Excuse me, keep your head up!" A voice that was graceful and elegant, but obviously lacking in breath, came.

"No! ……”

The four looked at each other, and the eyes of both of them lit up.

"This is Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty!" Xiao Yi was excited because he saw the emperor for the first time, and with the eyesight of the condor shooter, he could see at a glance that although the other party seemed to be in good spirits, he was surrounded by dead air between his eyebrows, and his body had already run out of oil; It seems that the rumor that the emperor is recovering from a serious illness is false, and the state of Emperor Han Ling at this time is more appropriate to describe in another word--- return to the light!"

"Eight feet tall, tiger body ape arms, handsome and delicate, although the small face is slightly darker, but it is more healthy and strong, the whole person is full of energy, and the whole body reveals infinite vitality", Emperor Han Ling was pleased with the powerful breath of life on Xiao Yi's body, looking at such a sturdy young man in front of him, it seemed to bring a trace of vitality to his dead body, "I really hope that it is me who has such a body!" ”

"Who is Qingzu?" Emperor Han Ling leaned on the soft couch and asked, his spirit seemed to be much better all of a sudden, and even his voice was louder.

"Weichen is the thirty-eighth generation great-grandson of Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty!" Although Xiao Yi's voice was respectful and soft, it contained the sound of gold and stone, and his deep reply clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Even after the founding fathers, there must be a high theory, and now the border is troublesome, I come to ask you, how can my Han defeat the Huns and sweep away the desert north?" Obviously, Emperor Ling of Han was very satisfied with Xiao Yi's background, and the more high-level feudal society was, the more he fought for his ancestors and bloodline.

The question of "defeating the Xiongnu and clearing the desert north" has been discussed by countless people in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the answer is almost formulaic, which is nothing more than "internal cultivation of cultural governance, selection of talents, accumulation of grass and grain, strong soldiers and horses, soldiers out of the north, horses and Huns!" ……’

Situ Wang Yun and Taishou Zhang Yang and others next to him all thought that Emperor Han Ling had deliberately released the water, as long as Xiao Yi answered in a decent manner and flattered a few words, so that the emperor was happy, the reward was inevitable, and it was easy to add officials to the knighthood!

Even the eunuchs serving beside the emperor showed a look of envy, they didn't expect that this young man who entered the palace for the first time would have such good luck; This is the benefit of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, as soon as Chrysostom opened his words, he immediately soared.

It's a pity that they often forget that the same slight movement of the mouth can also make your head in a different place, and the nine clans will be wiped out, and since ancient times, you have been with you like a tiger!

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the Huns cannot be eradicated!" Xiao Yi's unexpected answer stunned everyone, and Zhang Yang, who was standing on the side, even wanted to run over and slap Xiao Yi a few times to see if he hadn't woken up, and what he said was all nonsense!

"Oh! Why? "Maybe it's because I've heard too much flattery in my life, and I want to hear the truth today, but instead of being angry, Emperor Han Ling was aroused.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty and a few adults, my great Han heroic monarch is none other than Emperor Wu, the most warlike general is Wei Qing, Huo Qu Sick, as an emperor through the ages, unparalleled good generals, and the" Wenjing Zhizhi "decades of accumulation of a strong wealth base, poured the country's manpower and material resources, more than 50 years, a total of 14 times out of the fortress, can you sweep the desert north, completely eliminate the Huns?" Xiao Yat's question was very direct, and at the same time, it also brought everyone into deep thought.

"The Huns live by water and grass, there is no fixed city, the boundless desert and the sea, the vast grassland outside the Saiwai, everywhere is their home, so although the expeditionary force of the Han Dynasty is easy to defeat them, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate these erratic nomadic tribes, the strategic space of the Huns is too vast......

The cost of our Han people to launch a war is too high, the decisive battle of Mobei launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, dispatched a total of 100,000 cavalry corps of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and in order to provide military supplies for these two expeditionary troops, the state requisitioned a total of 100,000 cattle for transportation, and dispatched 500,000 infantry, shouldering people, with five people to protect one person, only to barely finish the battle.

The end is that the Han army won a miserable victory, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han army died in battle, 180,000 horses out of the Sai, only 30,000 horses were left when they returned, in order to transport supplies, the people who died on the road were countless, such a high cost of war, so that we could not fight in the grassland for a long time, as soon as the army retreated, the Huns would be like weeds, the spring breeze blows, and they will come back to life immediately! ”

When it comes to national affairs, no one knows better than Situ Wang Yun, a clear narrative, very clearly said why the Han Dynasty has been unable to eradicate the Xiongnu for four hundred years.

"In this case, my big man can't end the suffering of the border troubles?" Emperor Han Ling said in a low voice, as if he was asking the ministers around him? Seems to be asking yourself? Could it also be interrogating the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty?

This problem has been plaguing the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and in terms of the limitations of history, no one can really solve this problem in this era, but providence has made a person transcend history.

"There are three strategies that may really bind the Huns!" The answer is still Xiao Yi, it is impossible to completely eliminate the nomads, but there is still a way to restrain them. As a staunch nationalist, Xiao Yat is still willing to contribute all his wisdom to this country and this nation.

"Hurry up!"

"No! ……”

"The first strategy, when the autumn grass is high and the grass is yellow, send light cavalry warriors deep into the depths of Saibei and set fire to the grassland. As long as the grassland is burned, they will not be able to store enough forage in the cold winter, and their livestock and population will die of cold and starvation. Xiao Yat began to state his three strategies for destroying Hungary.

"Okay, it's a draw from the bottom of the kettle!" Since he took charge of the Yanmen military, he has always reconnoitred the situation of the Huns, and he knows the importance of the grassland to the Huns, which can be described as extremely powerful.

"The second strategy is internal division, and the kings stand side by side. Although the Xiongnu have existed for a long time, the internal structure of their regime is loose, and they have not been able to become a state in the true sense of the word, and the independence between the tribes is very large; In particular, the inheritance system is chaotic, and the wolf pack theory that the strong is still king, such an unorderly competition makes the vendetta within the Xiongnu clan continuous, and the internal friction is even higher than the external friction; Now the big single on the grassland still wants my Han family to be canonized in name, and the court only needs to spend some gold, cast a few more gold seals of the Hun Da Danyu and distribute them to the various departments, and there will be no peace between the Huns, and finally like five fingers scattered out, we will break them one by one! ”

"Wonderful, this is a great plan!" This time, Situ Wang Yun was the first to react, and clapped his hands happily; As an important minister of the court, he is the most sensitive to this kind of conspiracy between power and art, and immediately understands the mystery.

In fact, the principle of 'force is thin' is very simple, but the Chinese have advocated national unification since the founding of Xia Yu, and after Qin Shihuang swept through the six countries and mixed up for a day, this concept of world unification is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people instinctively hate division from the bones, so it is easy to fall into a blind spot when thinking about problems, and now Xiao Yi gently pierced this layer of window paper, and everyone suddenly realized, "Yes!" The most ideal result is the reunification of one's own country and the fragmentation of the enemy country. ”

"What about Aiqing's third strategy?" Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also figured out the key at this time, his face was flushed with excitement, and the pain on his body seemed to be swept away, Xiao Yi's first two strategies were indeed feasible, if he could really follow his strategy to destroy the Huns, and put an end to the Han family's more than 400-year catastrophe in his own hands, then he Liu Hong could be proud of all the previous emperors since Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and his position in the Taimiao would be infinitely improved in the future; "The Emperor of the Ages, it's not a dream!"
