"It's man-made, and it may not be long before you'll see it." Liu Fan said mysteriously.

This kind of unimaginable thing, even if Liu Fan's prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they will be suspicious.

"It's a pity that we only have 300 cavalry, if we have 5,000 cavalry, we will go straight to the Hun court." Guan Yu sighed.

"Even if you have 5,000 cavalry, you can't do it without training. The ability to fight on horseback is not something that can be cultivated overnight, and more than a month later, the Huns crossed the river, and the cavalry in our army who did not ride well fought against the enemy who grew up on horseback, which was no different from sending them to death. Liu Fan denied Guan Yu's statement. These 300 cavalry are his family base, and it is impossible to use them in this year's battle.

"The Huns invaded, and I, Zhou Yuanfu, rushed to the front, and death would not let the Huns plunder the people again." At this time, Zhou Cang, who had been silent for a long time, said one and two two.

"Okay, Yuanfu's courage is commendable." Liu Fan praised Zhou Cang, and said: "Our army is newly built, and it cannot compete with the Hun cavalry, so it can only be outwitted." The Xiongnu tribe in Hexi is separated by a river from us, and the two sides can not communicate in peacetime, and our army has recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xiongnu will not know. ”

"What's the plan?" Guan Yu hurriedly asked. Xu Huang and Zhou Cang also listened attentively.

"I will go to Jiangyi in a few days to find the county order to find out the situation of the Xiongnu invasion over the years, and then go to the Yellow River to observe the terrain, and then make a plan" Liu Fan replied secretly, which made Guan Yu and the three slightly disappointed.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. The unscrupulous invasion of the Huns was nothing more than thinking that the Han was weakened, relying on their light cavalry to quickly plunder food and supplies. In Liu Fan's view, the Xiongnu were completely reckless, and they dared to go deep alone without knowing the roots, but it was a pity that there were no unscrupulous generals in Hedong during this period, otherwise the invading Xiongnu would have been wiped out.

When the Huns invaded the Central Plains in a big way, it was in the first year of Xingping, during the period when Li Dao and Guo Yan were fighting for power, that is, around 194 AD. The people of Middle-earth are fragile, and the soldiers who come are all Huqiang, hunting and besieging the cities, and everything they want is ruined. The horse hangs the man's head, and the horse carries the woman behind, driving into the desert for a long time, and the loop is dangerous and obstructive. This kind of tragic situation, with Liu Fan here, will not happen, ten years is enough to destroy the Southern Xiongnu.

For three days in a row, Liu Fan stayed in the barracks, eating and training with the soldiers, and won the hearts of the army. And slightly rectified the training method, mainly to train physical strength, supplemented by force, there is only one action to kill the enemy with a spear, that is, stabbing, you don't need to practice too much time, you should practice more long-distance running, arm strength, etc. In the afternoon, Liu Fan would gather all the officers above the 100-man general to teach them the art of war and explain to them the success or failure factors of various battles in the Spring and Autumn Period. In order to make it easier for these officers to integrate the army, Liu Fan taught them Arabic numerals in later generations and taught them some simple mathematics. These soldiers are all adults, and they learn these numbers much faster than kindergarten children, such as Zhou Cang, a black-faced man who learns in three days.

This group of warriors did not know what Arabic numerals represented, but the literati knew, no, perhaps they could not call it Arabic numerals in the future, and it was better to call them Liu numerals or Fan numerals. Because Arabic numerals first appeared in 500 AD, and now it is only 183 AD.

On this day, Liu Fan took the soldiers to train in the morning, and in the afternoon he changed his clothes and came to Jiangyi City, and he wanted to learn about the situation in Jiangyi County in recent years.

The city wall of Jiangyi is much lower than the city wall of Anyi, compared with other Yi counties in Hedong County, Jiangyi is much behind, which may be the reason why the Xiongnu disturb the border all year round, or it may be that Shaoyang, a warrior, is not very good at governing Yi County.

Anyi as the county of Hedong, there are many big families in the city, the rich people in bright clothes and the scholars with lupine scarves are all over the street, and there are few scholars in the city, most of the people in the city are ordinary people, and the overall atmosphere of the city is far inferior to that of Anyi.

Liu Fan rode into the city on horseback, and after entering the city, he slowed down the speed of the horse so as not to hurt passers-by.

Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, Liu Fan just entered the city not long after, there is a tattered child rushed directly to the street, at this time Liu Fan is riding a horse jogging on the street, completely did not expect a child to reach the horse's hooves, the child saw someone riding a horse rushing, frightened paralyzed to the ground, the front hooves of the war horse have been raised, if you step down, the child is more auspicious.

The people around exclaimed, thinking that the inevitable tragedy was about to happen, things came too suddenly, Liu Fan didn't have time to think about it, because he was riding on a horse, the horses of this era were not equipped with stirrups and saddles, Liu Fan could only use his arms to tighten the reins, the horses were in pain, roared, raised the front hooves high, Liu Fan clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and with the strength of his arms, he forced the horse to miss the child's position, the horse's hooves fell to the ground, and the child escaped safely.

Liu Fan sat on the horse and wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that his riding skills still have to be practiced!

At this time, a sixty-year-old man quickly jumped up and picked up the child, and at the same time apologized to Liu Fan on the horse: "Adults don't blame me, the old man's grandson is young and ignorant, and he collided with you."

The sixty-year-old man was ragged and skinny, and he looked like he was either a homeless or a beggar. He thinks that Liu Fan, who is riding a tall horse, is a nobleman, and he is afraid that the nobleman will blame their grandfather and grandson.

Liu Fan got off the horse and looked at the grandfather and grandson, the little boy was also yellow and thin, obviously undernourished.

"Where is the old man, why is he here?" Liu Fan asked the old man, his tone was like a spring breeze.

The little boy in the old man's arms recovered from the fright and looked at Liu Fan with dark eyes with curiosity.

"Lao Suo Hanoi, his son was forcibly requisitioned by the imperial court to build a palace, unfortunately died, and there were years of drought, natural and man-made disasters, and he had to take his grandson here." The old man burst into tears, the most painful thing in the world is nothing more than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

"Anyi has the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion to give grain for disaster relief, why didn't the old man take Lingsun there." Liu Fan asked puzzled.

"The Marquis of Xiqin Pavilion is a great good man, but Anyi is too far away from here, and Lao Suo's daughter-in-law died on the way to Jiangyi. In this Jiangyi city, there are occasional well-wishers who give alms, and they can still survive in the world. If you go out of Jiangyi, one old and one young, can An live? If possible, I am willing to be a dog of peace! After the old man finished speaking, the old tears were rampant.

The old man's words were weak, and listening to them made Liu Fan feel uncomfortable. None of the onlookers laughed at the old man's uncompetitive words, and everyone had the desire to live, even if it was extremely humble.

"The money here is hundreds of baht, the old man will take Lingsun to Anyi!" Liu Fan took out the money bag from his arms and handed it to the old man.

The old man stretched out his skinny hand, but he didn't dare to take it.

Liu Fan simply put the money bag directly in the old man's hand, and the old man's hand holding the money bag was trembling all the time, was he afraid? Is it joy? Still can't believe it!

The old man should get down on his knees as a sign of gratitude.

Liu Fan's eyes were quick, he helped the old man, didn't let him kneel, and said, "Go!" Take your grandson to the wine house for a full meal, rest for the night, and then head south to Anyi. ”

"An'er, remember the appearance of Engong clearly, and you must repay him in the future!" The old man whispered in the little boy's ear.

"Grandpa, grandson remembered!" The boy, who was only six or seven years old, said firmly.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk. If it weren't for the little boy's recklessness, the grandparents would have had to sleep on the streets for the winter, or they wouldn't be able to survive the winter.

The old man slowly walked to the street with his grandson in his arms, and when the old man disappeared into the street, Liu Fan looked up to the sky and sighed, his voice was sad!

"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. ”

If the world is stable, the royal family will definitely build a large number of buildings, and the people will be miserable; If the country perishes, disasters and wars continue, the people will suffer.
