Xu Rong sent people to start cleaning up the battlefield, and sent some uninjured war horses into the racecourse, and the horse corpses were sent into the city to make minced meat, as for the weapons of the Huns, the Han army naturally looked down on them, Ye Zhao was ready to let people go back to the furnace to rebuild, even if they couldn't be made into weapons, they could also be made into some farm tools or something, tens of thousands of weapons, if they were made into hoes, they could make 100,000 pieces.

Go to death of humility, Liu Bao was obviously mentally abnormal after being gelding, it looked like he was being played bad, the information he should have gotten has been obtained, and it is useless to keep it, Ye Zhao asked Liu Bao and the corpses of those Huns to be incinerated together, so as not to cause plague.

"Yun Chang and Zilong's troops should have entered the territory of Hetao at this moment, and there is no news about the results of the battle for the time being." After Ye Zhao sent Liu Wei back to the palace, he took the generals to the meeting hall of the Taiwei Mansion and said: "However, since the Huns dare to show their claws to us this time, it is a rare opportunity, and now Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are busy with the affairs of the Central Plains and have no time to take care of Guanzhong, so we just take this opportunity to take down the Hetao." ”

Looking at everyone, Ye Zhao said in a deep voice: "In this battle, Xu Rong is the commander, and he ordered 30,000 soldiers to go to Hetao to join Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao went out with the army. ”

"Whoa!" Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Liao came out of the queue and bowed.

"In addition......" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and Li Ru and said: "Come up with a plan as soon as possible, where we will fight this battle, where to take it as the boundary, how to deploy the land of Hetao, and make it as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!"

This external expansion is not a matter of what it is, where it is easier to defend, where it can resist the invasion of the enemy, where it is suitable for the garrison, where it is suitable for the people to live, this is all particular.

Before Shuzhong said, Hanzhong was blocked by Yangping Pass, and it was not easy for outsiders to come in, and then Guanzhong was also, after occupying Hongnong County and Hedong County, only Hangu Pass was required, and it was not easy for the Kwantung princes to attack it, but this time it was not as easy as before to occupy the Hetao.

It's not that the Huns are so powerful, but if they capture the Hetao, they will have to face the pressure of Merging Prefectures, Xianbei, Xiliang and even the Western Regions, and the Hetao is open, and there are not many places suitable for defense, in order to maintain stability, you can even give up some places that are not suitable for defense to ensure the status of the Hetao.

Like the Xiongnu to take is to the chicken deer village, the big city wall, the five original village and the Meiji royal court four main force joint defense, no matter which way the soldiers and horses attack, will inevitably pass one of the villages, the Huns are mainly cavalry, the mobility is very strong, can quickly support each other.

However, the Han army was mainly infantry, and the Huns' defense plan was not entirely suitable for the Han army, since Ye Zhao wanted to take the Hetao and develop it, he must consider the problem of stability, if he could not provide a stable environment, how to let the people rest assured that they would migrate to the land of the Hetao?

"Lord, in addition, it is necessary to know that Nahu Chuquan fled to the northwest and reunited with the Northern Huns!" Li Ru reminded.

Ye Zhao nodded, if the Southern and Northern Xiongnu were reunited, it would have a great impact, so an army must be sent to get stuck on the road that the Southern Xiongnu must pass to escape.

"In this way, I will personally lead the flying boat troops to parachute into Jilu Village!" Ye Zhao looked at the direction of the map and said in a deep voice.

"My lord!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Xi Zhicai bowed down and said: "My lord, now my Guanzhong and Shuzhong are all tied to the lord, and now although the flying boat in our army has undergone several improvements, the capacity has expanded a lot, but a flying boat can only accommodate thirty or fifty people at most, that is, there are thousands of flying boats, and it is only three or five thousand people. ”

Ye Zhao is now the Dinghai Divine Needle in this Guanzhong and Shudi, these two territories were all knocked down by Ye Zhao himself, the prestige is extremely heavy, Ye Zhao is here, there is no problem, but if Ye Zhao has any three long and two short, even if Ye Zhao already has an heir, but the eldest Ye Zheng is only eleven years old, which is not enough to provoke the beam of this huge foundation.

When Ye Zhao heard this, after hesitating for a moment, he also gave up this plan, everyone's worries were not unreasonable, as the lord of Guanzhong and Shuzhong, Ye Zhao's safety now is not just as simple as personal safety.

Looking at the generals, he said after a moment of silence: "In this way, with Ji Ling and Guan Hai as generals, lead the air force to attack Jilu Village, what you have to do is to defend Jilu Village, this trip will be equipped with three masters who specialize in studying the planning of the city, once you break through Jilu Village, what you have to do is to use all means to strengthen the defense of Jilu Village, once there is an enemy to attack, just wait for help, Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun will support in the shortest possible time after hearing the news, you just need to wait for them to help. ”

"Whoa!" When Ji Ling and Guan Hai heard this, they bowed and took Ye Zhao's arrow.

"Now that Yun Chang and Zilong estimate that the war has just started, the Huns may not react, the two of you set off immediately, go straight to Jilu Village, prepare more oil, and attack it at the lowest cost!" Ye Zhao looked at the two of them solemnly.

"Don't worry, the two of us will live up to the trust of the lord!" Ji Ling and Guan Hai bowed and left.

The arrangement has been decided, Ye Zhao asked everyone to leave, but Xi Zhicai did not leave, and smiled at Ye Zhao: "There is still something I want to say to the lord." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

"Recently, I found a strange talent in the academy!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"Geek?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you blame the law?" ”

"This person was recommended to Chang'an Academy, and the assessment set by the academy passed easily." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"It's not bad, but the assessment standards set by the academy are not difficult for most academy students, it can only show that this person has the level of academy students, how old is he?" Ye Zhao didn't care about this, the academy's assessment was determined by screening potential teenagers, and if they could pass the assessment, even if they passed easily, I am afraid it would be difficult to be a geek.

"Four out of twenty!" Xi Zhicai smiled.

"Twenty-four, it's not too small." Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "It should be more than that, so that Zhicai can recommend me so solemnly." ”

"The Lord's Eye." Xi Zhicai nodded and smiled: "This son is very arrogant, on the second day of entering the academy, he should have attended class, but he took turns to debate the teaching and learning of Confucianism, law, and the art of war in the academy. ”

"If that's the case, you can pass the college assessment and get in, so why recommend it?" Ye Zhaoqi said that since Cai Yong's death, the top level of teaching in the academy is not too high, and the teaching is acceptable, but if compared with real people of insight, it is much worse.

"As I said before, this son is very arrogant and unwilling to follow the steps like ordinary students, so he threatened to let the lord know his name and invite him personally." Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled.

"I'm a little capable, but it's a bit too much." Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Zhicai is willing to come to recommend, I want to come to this person's ability, and I can be recognized by Zhicai." ”

"Not bad." Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "The minister has been with him, many of this person's remarks are in line with the lord's concept, such as the art of war, he has never led a soldier, he is to bluntly say that he can't guess about the battlefield matters, and he will not evaluate it, and what he says is the words in the book of soldiers, in addition, he is good at fencing, and he has made a county order under Li Dao, and he has amazing insights on local government affairs and laws. ”

"In other words, Zhicai thinks that I should go and meet this person?" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Raising his worth, Zhicai is afraid that he has missed a little, if this person is in business, he will also be a good hand!" ”

"Such talents, if they go into business, they will inevitably be overkill." Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled.

"Well, if there is nothing to do recently, I will personally go to the academy to see what ability this person can have to be so respected." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled.

"The lord doesn't ask his name?" Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhaodao in surprise.

"If it's gold, I'm sure it won't escape my eyes." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "If I really have the ability, I will definitely find out." ”

"In some places, the minister feels that this person is a little similar to the lord." Xi Zhicai got up and said.

"I don't have such a son." Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"It's not his appearance, this person is also rarely talented, and he is as arrogant as the lord, but compared to the lord, this son is a little less introverted, more like a young man." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.

"Encouraging words is what young people should do, and I'm different from them." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Xi Zhicai nodded, indeed, Ye Zhao experienced ups and downs in his early years, and that restraint should not be the same, but forced by the environment.

Ye Zhao didn't know that Xi Zhicai had misunderstood him in his heart at the moment, what he said was different, referring to the fact that he had traveled through, but in terms of experience, it was not wrong.

"However, since the death of my father-in-law, the appeal of this Chang'an Academy is not as good as before!" Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai said as they walked out.

"Cai Weng is the great Confucian, famous all over the sea, but also taught the lord such a character, naturally quite respected by everyone, now without Cai Weng, the appeal is inevitable, but the lord does not need to worry about this, as long as the lord's teaching philosophy can continue to be implemented, the minister believes that whether it is successful. The academy is still Chang'an Academy, and it will cultivate a large number of outstanding talents in the future, and in a few years, there will still be a large number of talents in the world to join the academy. Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "But if the lord really wants the academy to restore its appeal as soon as possible, you can invite another person whose reputation is not weaker than Cai Weng." ”

"How easy is it to say?" Ye Zhao shook his head, Cai Yong is already the only remaining Confucian, in addition to him, I'm afraid there is only Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Xuan is far away in Qingzhou, and he is already old, even if he can be invited, I'm afraid that when Zheng Xuan comes, he won't live long, why let the old man run around, and it's not bad to have no top Confucianism, although the top Confucianism has enough appeal, but it will also make the other academics in the academy squeezed by Confucianism, this is not what Ye Zhao wants to see, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, develop slowly, we are not in a hurry." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the door, and Xi Zhi bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "The lord must not send it again, the minister will retire." ”

"Walk slowly."
