Chapter 325: The Empress Dowager's Attitude
Ah Gu Da Xiao Wang faced his scattered elite cavalry, and jumped like thunder. But he couldn't help it. He didn't want to, and didn't dare to, take revenge with the rest of his forces.
The precedent of Dugger King has spread in the grassland.
Because of the desperate fighting, the entire Duggal tribe has disappeared into the grassland. Originally a small tribe of their subordinates, the Momba began to rise and are now the leaders of the place occupied by the former Dugal.
Ah Guta didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he needed to report the situation to King Zuoxian.
Only by saying how strong the Han army is and how heroic his cavalry is fighting can King Zuo Xian believe that the Han army has indeed sent a large number of garrisons in Cloud City.
The current Monan royal court has two virtuous kings on the left and right. In terms of combat power alone, the combat power of the Left Xian King is higher than that of the Right Xian King.
Shuofang City, the lost army is the army of King Zuoxian, and it was Lei into Jingguan. Now the same Jingguan has appeared outside Yunzhong City, which shows that Jingguan is the masterpiece of the Han army in Yunda.
This army has already attacked King Zuo Xian's army twice, which is enough to make King Zuo Xian pay attention.
At the same time that Ah Guda reported the situation in Yunzhong City to King Zuo Xian, Yan Ming and Wei Qing jointly drafted a report on the battle situation, and reported it to Liu Che together with Song Shu.
More than 500 beheaded, and the Han army suffered zero battle losses.
This kind of record is the space since the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu!
When Yan Ming and Wei Qing's recital spread to Chang'an City, the entire Weiyang Palace was in turmoil.
The ministers of the Lord and faction expressed their horror, and at the same time, the impeachment of Yan Ming and Wei Qing gathered like snowflakes on Liu Che's dragon case.
Of all the ministers of the Lord and the faction, only Ki Di remained silent. He was a man of integrity and wanted to stand his ground. I don't know why, Ji Di, who has always been sensible, feels that Yan Ming is doing the right thing this time.
Wang Hui of the main battle faction was even more amazed. He even suggested that Liu Che send more troops to the border pass.
The ministers of the DPRK and China have their own opinions. Liu Che just listened to their respective words and was noncommittal.
Eventually, he arrived at Changle Palace.
Empress Dowager Dou was about to drive to the Hot Spring Palace recently, and after listening to Liu Che's account of the battle at the border pass, her cloudy old eyes were also stirred.
After being silent for a long time, the Empress Dowager Dou didn't say anything more, she turned around and asked the palace maid to fetch a brocade box.
Slowly opened the brocade box, which was divided into many grids. In each grid, there is a bronze medal in the shape of half a small tiger.
Seeing this thing, Liu Che's eyes condensed slightly!
Tiger Talisman! The only evidence of the mobilization of the army of the Han Dynasty is the Tiger Fu. With this thing, he can truly grasp the lifeblood of the Han dynasty.
"Che'er!" Empress Dowager Dou has not called Liu Che like this for a long time. Now she took out the tiger talisman and called Liu Che again: "Grandma's inheritance to the throne has never belonged to others. You are the only legal heir. It's just that you are young and vigorous, and grandma is constrained everywhere, expecting you to grow faster. I didn't expect you and Yan Ming, the little monkey, to make such a big move at the border gate. and the Huns died well, I'm afraid it can't. Grandma can't hold the dispatch power of this army anymore. ”
Liu Che was slightly stunned, supported the Empress Dowager Dou with both hands, and said, "Grandma, this tiger talisman, grandson is not in a hurry to use it." Put it next to grandma first. Yan Ming said to his grandson that he wanted to use Yunzhong as a test field and a big pit. So that we don't have to worry about things in the cloud, as long as we have the logistics ready. ”
Tiger talisman, everyone wants it. Liu Che refused. This kind of refusal made the Empress Dowager Dou even more relieved.
She nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go to the Hot Spring Palace." You should handle the affairs of the court carefully. ”
Liu Che nodded.
On the same day, the Empress Dowager Dou took the Empress Dowager Wang Wan and Liu Concubine, and even Chen Ajiao to the Hot Spring Palace, leaving only the tiger talisman.
Liu Che officially took control of the military.
But he didn't get carried away, and he didn't act rashly. The lessons of King Zhao and Wang Zang made Liu Che a lot old. He understands that the development of the Han Dynasty must come step by step.
Only by destroying foreign enemies can we govern the country with peace of mind.
For the Hu cavalry captain army and the hundreds of old defenders at the border pass, they were all added to the rank of knight. If there is no title, there will be a first-class title, and if the original title is increased, it will be increased by one level.
For the female soldiers led by Yan Ran, Liu Che set up a baroness for the first time.
More than a hundred female soldiers, including Princess Yanran, were awarded the first class of the Dachess.
When the news reached the border gates, it immediately detonated the residents of Cloudsdale.
Those who wanted to be female soldiers before were stopped by their families regretted it. Even their families were envious when they saw that those women who were soldiers had won the title of military merit.
In less than two days, the number of female soldiers led by Yan Ran increased from 100 to 300.
Fortunately, the iron-smelting village has been set up in the city. Building a military crossbow can be completely up to Da Lao Chen.
These days, Yan Ming supervised the construction of the city wall.
The Huns lost more than 500 people outside the city, and they didn't even touch the hair of the Han army. This kind of battle situation will make them crazy. And the consequence of their madness is the overwhelming of the GIs.
Naturally, the city walls, full of gaps, could not cope with more Huns.
Therefore, the speed at which cities are built must be increased. Lao Xu took all the workers and worked day and night, and finally completed the repair of the city wall on the north side. The next step was to repair the walls on both sides. The walls on both sides are not much damaged, but they are very well repaired.
The north wall was repaired, and the original wooden tower was removed by Yan Ming.
One by one, catapults were placed on the city walls from the towers. There is also a venerable Condor crossbow, mixed with the catapult, which looks indestructible.
Yan Ming asked Old Man Lu to add wheels to the catapult and the Condor crossbow.
So that the mobility of both things comes out. With mobility, when defending the city, there is a greater advantage in the face of large-scale concentrated attacks.
The completion of the city wall on the north side made Yan Ming's hanging heart let go of it a lot.
Yan Ming's final killer weapon, Fire Thunder, was a gift package for the Huns. Of course, until the last resort, Yan Ming does not plan to use it.
After the first victory, the inhabitants of the clouds greatly strengthened their confidence in fighting the Huns.
Wei Qing will come to Yan Ming to play chess when he has time.
Yan Ming, a stinky chess basket, was always abused by Wei Qing.
In addition to playing chess, the two of them are hanging out in Cloudsdale. Yan Ming kept every place in the city in mind. War is only one of the roles of this city. In the later stage, it is still necessary to focus on life and economy and trade.
There was a breakthrough in the smelting iron village, that is, Yan Ming's steam engine design scheme for Da Lao Chen was made by Da Lao Chen.
Although this model does not function as a steam engine, it can give a visual view of how this machine works.
With the model, the subsequent development is easy to do. This is a small step for the iron smelting industry, but it is a big step for Dahan Industry.
