Tang Bin sighed: "The only three thousand cavalry have been defeated to the ground, how can the infantry catch up with Liu Qin, not to mention the rash attack, we have no terrain advantage, and the opponent has the depth of the battlefield and the space for maneuver, but instead send the opportunity to Liu Qin." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At that time, he can give full play to the advantages of cavalry, maneuver to harass and even surprise us, if he fights well, he doesn't even have to go to the desert, and he can solve their dilemma on the spot. ”

Yang Ke nodded: "In the words of Brother Confucianism, no cavalry is our biggest weakness, otherwise, it would be impossible for tens of thousands of Hun troops to be so arrogant." After this battle, we must train a cavalry so that we can not be controlled by others. ”

Tang Bin said: "It is not easy to build cavalry, first of all, money, then horse breeds, and finally pastures. But now the treasury is empty, the border is restless, and the horse breed is embargoed by the Hu people, and none of the conditions are met. ”

"Actually, I have a way, but it's just 。。。。。。。"

Looking at Yang Ke's incomprehensible appearance, Tang Bin didn't think he was playing tricks, in his mind, Yang Ke's ability to lay out was definitely fact-tested, he could put a seemingly ridiculous and unattainable goal out of all kinds of idle chess in the east and west, at first it seemed to be careless, but in the end, it was a step by step, in one go, when everyone saw it, things were already done. Thinking of this, Tang Bin asked, "What is Childe's plan?" ”

Yang Ke pointed to the map: "If we can collect and surrender the Xiongnu, I will solve the problem of money, and the Xiongnu will naturally solve the problem of horse breeds and pastures, which is more than 50,000 good horses for us in Shicheng." ”

Tang Bin suddenly woke up and took a deep breath: "Son, the surrender of the Huns is very important, Liu Yuan has been a proton in the imperial court for many years, and the first emperor treated him well, and finally rebelled, if you really want to surrender him, not to mention the criticism between the DPRK and China, success or failure is still between the two, even if it is done, who can guarantee that Liu Yuan will not rebel again?" At that time, you will be the target of public criticism. ”

Yang Ke said to Tang Bin gratefully: "Brother Confucianism, we are brothers in life and death who have gone through tribulations, so I can speak freely in front of you. Since ancient times, the Central Plains court has said that if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the fact is also true, the foreign race has always been poor to vote, and the Central Plains has rebelled when there is turmoil, and has never walked out of this strange circle. But I've been thinking about the question of whether the disobedience of the alien race is determined by the ambition of a few, or is it the fact that millions of their people love war in their bones? ”

Tang Bin said with a smile: "Whether it is our Central Plains people, or the people of different races, who is born to like to fight and kill, heaven and earth are not benevolent and all things are used as dogs, they are just the tools of the emperors and generals who have ambition and power in the past dynasties." ”

"My thoughts are exactly the same as those of the Confucian brothers, but there is also a fundamental problem, if the lives of the common people can't go on, they will be easily bewitched and used, in other words, if the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing, even if someone wants to use them, or even force them to pick up swords and guns and go to the battlefield, I am afraid it will not be so easy. The reason why the Xiongnu people continue to attack and harass at the border is very simple, the imperial court implements a closed country for them, the more you don't stop, the more I don't carry out border trade with you, the Central Plains is rich, everything can be self-sufficient, but the Xiongnu are different, not to mention anything else, salt, grain, vegetables, tea, they don't have any of them, if there is a disaster year again, a large number of livestock die, and there is no reserve of these materials, they have no second way to go except to enter the original robbery. Although the method of robbing has no cost and ten thousand profits, who has calculated the account behind it, and the lives of people are not the capital? Yang Ke said this, took out a copy from the thick stack of documents he carried, opened it and continued: "At that time, I went to Lishi with the old master and Hei Qiyi, and every time I went to a place, I chatted with the people and clan leaders of these Huns, looking for their sufferings, the Huns who moved inward were landless and proletarian, and they were oppressed by powerful officials under the fence, and the Huns who were nomadic on the grassland were not willing to make trouble for no reason, what they were most afraid of was the snow disaster year, and thousands of livestock of a tribe could freeze to death in less than a few days. These people put down their swords, they are ordinary people, once they are about to starve to death, they pick up the sword, they are the devil, they are fierce gods. ”

Tang Bin listened to Yang Ke talking, it was the first time he saw Yang Ke talk so long and endlessly, these words were unheard of by himself, but thinking about it carefully, every word Yang Ke said was not the truth. It's just that in the eyes of the high-ranking Manchu civil and military forces, it is the mob who dares to resist, of course, they must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots mercilessly, and at the same time, they must also make an example of each other, otherwise, the people of the world will take them as an example. At this moment, the discussion of this issue has long gone beyond the background and imprint of Tang Bin's times, people have classes and environments, and it is impossible for the angle and starting point of looking at problems and analyzing problems to exceed their own class position and historical height, although he agrees with Yang Ke's ideas in his heart, and he is also Yang Ke's loyal subordinate and brother in distress, but he still does not dare to stand up clearly to encourage him or even support him.

Yang Ke looked at Tang Bin's hesitant expression, and suddenly realized a problem, this is not an isolated phenomenon, with his relationship with Tang Bin, he will face doubts, if you look at the entire court, I am afraid that no one will agree with his point of view, let alone support him to implement a tolerant national policy. This has nothing to do with power or ideology, and it took thousands of years to complete the road of national integration. For the first time in Yang Ke's heart, he felt hesitation and helplessness. Perhaps, it will be a difficult lonely road, will it be persevered to the end, or will it go with the flow? It's a matter of direction. This will determine whether he will use fusion to eliminate border troubles, or simply and brutally use war to suppress border troubles, and he resists being an executioner from the depths of his heart.

Tang Bin also did not choose to stand firmly on Yang Ke's side for the first time, he felt a faint trace of guilt in his heart, but the reason for himself turned to was: "This is also for Yang Ke's sake, otherwise, he will become an alternative in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and he will inevitably be reprimanded and opposed by everyone." Tang Bin sighed: "Childe, you have been too tired in the past few days, you better take a good rest, don't think so much about it first." ”

Yang Ke nodded silently: "You should also rest early." ”

There was silence outside the tent, and occasionally the neighing of war horses and the whispering of the night patrol soldiers came, and Yang Ke, who returned to the sleeping tent, got on the military couch in the midst of heavy worries, and the accumulated fatigue was like a slap in the face, which knocked him into a heavy nightmare.
