"The Huns, brutal by nature, do not think about farming, only know how to plunder, destroy civilization, call me Han people a sheep walking on two feet, and even more humiliate my Han sons and daughters, I must send troops to crusade against ...... again."

"Your Majesty, although my Han army is a strong force, but in two years has sent three consecutive 100,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu, the current treasury is empty, the loss of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, weapons and armor and other materials and land transportation costs are not counted, the minister thinks that if you are not fully sure to eliminate the main force of the Xiongnu, it is better to postpone it."

Weiyang Palace, the civil and military officials of the Han Empire, the left and the right, lined up in turn to stand in the routine court meeting, the whole atmosphere was very tense, in the face of less than two months to send 100,000 troops, the civil officials headed by Prime Minister Li Cai resolutely opposed, after all, he is the prime minister, and the Han Dynasty has to find him not only when he opens his mouth to eat, but also every time the 100,000 army has to find him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not, although my Han Dynasty has used troops against the Huns every year, but this time it must be used, and the sooner the better." Wei Qing, the general standing in the first place on the right, saw that Li Cai, the prime minister standing in the first place on the left, had objections to the matter of Emperor Wu Liu Che sending troops to the Xiongnu, so he looked at the civil official on the opposite side and said: "This time the troops are to take advantage of the victory to pursue, the Xiongnu right Xianwang is basically surviving, although Yi Zhixian personally led the army south, but the morale is definitely not high, and the foothold is not stable. ”

The general Wei Qing was a person who made the Hu people frightened, in addition to beating the northern Xiongnu ass and urine, he also defeated the thirty-two Hu tribal kingdoms in the north of the Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, in order to ensure the Shuo side, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty divided his troops into two routes, sent 100,000 troops, and Wei Qing directly led 30,000 cavalry, and marched north out of Gaoque to defeat the Xiongnu Youxian King.

In this battle, the Han army won a complete victory, captured more than 15,000 men and women of the Youxian Wang, thirteen Hun kings, hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and other livestock, war horses, grain and grass, countless weapons, Wei Qing was worshiped as a general by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, and the three sons were named Yichun Marquis (Wei Yan), Ming Anhou (Wei Budo), Fagan Marquis (Wei Deng), and 8,700 households were sealed, and all the generals were under his command, becoming the highest commander of the Han Dynasty, and the four marquis of the Wei family were famous all over the world.

Wei Qing is actually looking forward to the Xiongnu Yizhi slanting Shan Yu personally led the army south to Monan, although he led the army to attack the Xiongnu five times, and the last battle was also two months ago, and caused a lot of losses to the Xiongnu Youxian Wang, but in the end it still failed to make the Xiongnu vitality greatly injured, at least did not find the main force of the Xiongnu decisive battle, Wei Qing has always regretted, so he advocated sending troops.

Seeing that the general Wei Qing stood up to support the dispatch of troops, Lang Zhongling, who had long been impatient, ordered Li Guang to stand in the second row on the right and looked at Prime Minister Li Cai and said: "The old minister thinks that the general is right, the Youxian Wang's army has been defeated, Yi Zhi has just gained a stable foothold in the south, and his morale is low due to several defeats. ”

Lang Zhongling Li Guang's words suddenly made Prime Minister Li Cai's eyes green, he turned his head and looked at Li Guang fiercely and scolded: "You really don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, do you think that fighting a war is when you lead your troops to rush and kill?" Where do the salaries, food and grass come from? Do you know how much the 100,000 army gets a day? ”

In the face of Prime Minister Li Cai's reprimand, in fact, it was expected by Lang Zhongling Li Guang, because Prime Minister Li Cai is Li Guang's younger brother, and it stands to reason that Li Guang, as an elder brother, should unconditionally stand on the side of Prime Minister Li Cai, but this time, Li Guang not only did not remain neutral, nor did he stand on the side of his younger brother Li Cai, but on the contrary, he also stood on the side of Wei Qing, and it is strange not to be reprimanded.

Li Cai is actually a military general like Li Guang, because the Li family belongs to the gate lord soldiers in the Longxi area, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, appointed Li Cai as the prime minister, of course, there is another meaning.......

In the face of the court's own henchmen and generals because of the matter of sending troops to the Huns, Emperor Wu Liu Che was also very helpless, Gui is the Son of Heaven In fact, he knows that what Prime Minister Li Cai said about the emptiness of the treasury is true, and it is not false that the armor and equipment have suffered heavy losses, and this will have to send 100,000 troops again every two months, and the national consumption can be imagined, and what it means to Prime Minister Li Cai can be imagined.

"Your Majesty, the Huns border trouble from Emperor Gaozu is a heart disease, although General Wei hit the Huns five times, but the main force shrinks in Mobei never goes south, we have always been with the two virtuous kings on the left and right, it is very difficult to give the Huns a fatal blow, so it has not shaken the main force of the Huns, and now Yizhi is leading the army south, a godsend, Your Majesty!"

Lang Zhongling's words to Li Guang once again pierced the heart of Martial Emperor Liu Che, isn't this exactly what he thinks?

As a nomadic Hu people, almost the Han Dynasty for a living from farming as their own treasury, burning, killing and plundering everything, for thousands of years the Central Plains people called two-legged sheep, slaughtered, plundered the past as slaves, and in the face of such a situation, the country within the Great Wall is powerless to fundamentally change, only defense.

After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was besieged in Baideng, the Han Dynasty could only hope for a temporary relative peace with his relatives and a large number of "dowry" property, Liu Che ascended the throne several times after sending Wei Qing to fight with it but could not fight with the main force of the Xiongnu, although a lot of victories were achieved, but it was never able to give the Xiongnu a heavy blow, and one of the important reasons is that the main force of Yizhi did not go south.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after two months, I actually thought about the matter of sending 100,000 troops to fight Yi Zhixian again after two months, since he personally led the army south, as Lang Zhongling said, a God-given opportunity." After Emperor Wu Liu Che finished speaking, he stood up with a serious expression and said loudly: "Zhong Aiqing, my Han people are called two-legged sheep by these Hu people, what do you mean, it is to be slaughtered by others." ”

Seeing that the holy will of the Son of Heaven had been decided, Prime Minister Li Cai said helplessly: "Since Your Majesty's holy will has been decided, the old minister will obey the decree and set the strength of the whole country to protect it!" After speaking, Li Cai bowed deeply and knelt down to bow.

Seeing Prime Minister Li Cai bowing down, the rest of the sixty-five ministers who advocated no war also bowed.

For this result, in fact, Prime Minister Li Cai also expected it, after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che has been martial since he was a child, and he likes to solve some things by force, and for the Huns, Liu Che hates it even more, but as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Li Cai must make the current reality clear before the emperor has set the holy will, and to put it more bluntly, in the face of the holy will, it is useless to disagree.

Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sat on the dragon chair, he frowned tightly and solemnly looked around at the hundreds of civil and military officials and the sixty-five ministers who knelt down, and then the dragon robe waved and stood up domineeringly, walked to a map and touched the Monan grassland with his hands, and the eighteen feather forest guards on both sides of the palace were majestic and clenched their swords, with a posture that whoever wanted to rebel would take whoever was headed.

"Wei Qing listens to orders!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, suddenly turned around and stared at the general Wei Qing and said loudly.

"Obey the order."

"I order you to immediately organize an army of 100,000 and then send the main force of the decisive battle of Yi Zhi in Monan."

"Command!"

After receiving the holy edict of Emperor Wu Liu Che, Wei Qing, who had been with a solemn expression just now, suddenly smiled, he looked back at Lang Zhongling Li Guang and Marquis Zhao Xin, this result was in the hearts of Wei Qing and these generals, I really looked forward to it for a long time, although I only fought with the Xiongnu Right Xianwang two months ago, but I was still quite looking forward to the main force of Yizhi Xian Shan Yu.

Of course, the more important reason is the hatred of the Huns, the anger of the Huns for years of raids, and at the same time, as soldiers, their value can only be reflected on the battlefield.

"Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao, Taifu Gongsun He, Xihou Zhao Xin, Wei Wei Su Jian, Lang Zhongling Li Guang, and Younei Shi Li Fu went out with the general Wei Qing to fight the main force of the Huns."

"The Minister's Decree ......" The generals will bow down to the Lord's Decree.

"Prime Minister Li Cai, Imperial Historian Zhang Tang, and Taiwei Tian Command, immediately mobilize the whole country to protect the 100,000 army......" Martial Emperor Liu Che's voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed to feel a little sorry for this Prime Minister Li Cheng.

"The minister must die, and he will do his best to protect it!" This is not Prime Minister Li Cai's sincere words, but he can only say that he will do his best to ensure that the 100,000 army will be pulled out of the fortress immediately after the end of the court, and the time is short and the number of people is so large that Li Cai will be tired to death when he thinks about it.

"In this decisive battle, Yizhi is oblique to the main force, and it must be completely defeated, relieve the trouble of my Han Dynasty's northern Xinjiang, restore the peace of our Han Dynasty's northern Xinjiang for generations, and make the Huns tremble when they see my Han iron horse." Emperor Wu of Han stood up violently and waved his dragon robe: "For the sake of dignity, the battle must be premised on unprecedented cruelty!" ”。
