Jiang Hexing spoke first: "I won't say much superfluous, you should know about Zhangjiazhuang, what is the relationship between you and Zhangjiazhuang, I know in my heart, should we avenge the revenge of so many villagers?" ”

In addition to Wu Kui and Wu Han, all of them were born in Zhangjiazhuang, although Ma Yuan was not born in Zhangjiazhuang, but he was also the same brother as Zhang Mengqing, so as soon as Shangjianghe said this, all shouted: "Revenge, revenge." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Kui first said: "Hewang, although I am not from Zhangjiazhuang, I do not have Zhangjiazhuang, and I do not have today, so no matter what the brothers decide, I agree." In addition, I asked to be the vanguard and fight the Huns fiercely, so that they would know how powerful we were. ”

Wu Han also expressed his position.

Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said: "We don't care how the relationship between the Xiongnu and Wang Mang has developed to this point, I don't want to hold anyone responsible, I just want to use blood to revenge the blood feud, whoever provokes me, I will definitely make him feel bad, I have two plans, one is to teach the Huns a lesson, but to destroy the Huns." Which one do you choose? ”

Zhang Kai first said: "And the king, teach the Huns to avenge the villagers, I absolutely support, but it is not easy to destroy the Huns, the Huns are big, not less than my Central Plains, and three times the land of Pingzhou, and our soldiers and horses add up to about 80,000." There were 30,000 veterans and 50,000 recruits, and almost none of the recruits actually experienced war. Although I want to avenge my Zhangjiazhuang, if you want to say hate, and the king, I can't wait to eat them alive one by one now, but our strength is not so great after all. ”

Zhang Jie also said: "He Wang, the Han Dynasty has been at odds with the Xiongnu for more than 150 years, and only then can it have the strength to settle down the Xiongnu." From Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, how many bloody battles have been experienced in the middle, Wei Qing, how heroic General Huo Quai, and Li Guang, Cheng does not know such generals, and he has not been able to destroy the Huns, during the period of Emperor Wu, the country fought against the Huns, how much pressure the people withdrew, and the national strength was almost injured, and the repeated battles, I am afraid that we do not have so much stamina, after all, from the perspective of manpower and financial resources, the pressure is too great. The eldest brother is right, many of our brothers' relatives died at the hands of the Huns, and we want revenge more than anyone else. It is not easy to destroy the Huns. ”

After the Zhang brothers finished speaking, everyone talked about it, and almost none agreed with the destruction of the Xiongnu.

Jiang Hexing looked at the crowd: "First of all, I advocate the destruction of the Xiongnu. They want to take revenge on Wang Mang this time, plundering the border land, burning and killing ****, which can be described as all evil. If he only attacks the city, and the target is the soldiers, I may not even be able to go out, this is a matter between him and Wang Mang. But the Huns did something different, they targeted civilians, not only a Zhangjiazhuang, a Dai county, but several border counties were attacked by them at the same time. The border counties have almost become white land, and at least a million people have suffered. I'm afraid that this blood debt is not enough to teach me a lesson. This is the reason why I want to destroy the Huns. If they have a chance, the border county will still suffer.

We used to fight, and we first relied on sneak attacks and cloud thunder to deal with Wuhuan, because the Wuhuan people did not have a big tribe, and they plundered a large number of Han people, so the bigger we were, the stronger we became. To deal with Fuyu and Zuben Fuyu, they are still positional warfare, they are good at backing the mountain city defense, we washed with water once, surrounded the mountain once, and fought several times with cloud thunder in the positional battle. As for the Xianbei people, they could attack but not defend, and they relied on the lake to fight a decisive battle with us, but they were destroyed by us. And what are the characteristics of the Huns' warfare, only attack but not defend, if you are strong, he will run, the vast grassland, boundless, just find a place, they can hide, and their strength can be preserved.

And once we start a war with the Xiongnu, the junction between Pingzhou and the Xiongnu, from Mingwu City in the south to Lianghu City in the north, there are at least more than 2,000 miles, and the long border is all endless grasslands, and there is no city to defend. If we beat them, just to teach them a lesson, do you think they will come and attack us? ”

Everyone said that if we beat them, they will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on us.

Jiang Hexing continued: "The population of the Xiongnu is 2 million, and men have learned to ride and shoot since childhood, and there can be as many as three or four hundred thousand cavalry. The more powerful we are, the more vindictive they will be. Perhaps in their eyes, we were not opponents, but now we dare to take the initiative to challenge, and their retaliation must be extremely fierce. Therefore, if we don't start a war, as soon as we start a war, we must aim to destroy the Huns, otherwise they will inevitably aim to destroy us. ”

Hao Zhan said: "And the king, it's not that we don't want to, but our troops, can fight but don't have troops to garrison, the vast desert south and north, our people and horses put it in it is like an egg in a big pot, it is said to be egg soup, it is estimated that everyone can't find eggs." ”

The crowd laughed.

Jiang Hexing also smiled, turned his head to Hao Zhan and said: "What you said is very reasonable, the territory is too wide, our troops are limited, do you fight, with our strength, they are not opponents." If we disperse, they have a large number of soldiers and horses, and they will come to beat you from time to time, and run away after the fight, and we will be completely passive.

Since we have few eggs and the pot is too big, since there are only so many eggs, do you see if we can turn the big pot into a small pot, so that the eggs can not only be seen, but must also be delicious. ”

Hao Zhan then asked, "How do you turn a big pot into a small pot?" "Shall we build a city there?"

Jiang Hexingdao: "Why can't we build a city, you are right, we will build a city, control the battlefield within the scope of our control, just like Wu Kui did back then, with the city as the core, the surrounding area is repeatedly swept away, sweeping clearly, and then moving forward until there are no Huns around." ”

Everyone sighed, that can't be done in a year and a half.

Jiang Hexing said: "Yes, why do it take two or three years." ”

It takes a few years to fight, which is unprecedented among the generals of Pingzhou, and all the generals are gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

Jiang Hexing divided his troops and sent generals, led by Ma Biao, who was stationed in Xiucheng City, with the independent division of Wu and Han, to attack and advance to the west, one is to fight the Xiongnu, and the other is to prevent the Xiongnu from sneaking up from the south. Jiang Hexing asked Ma Biao and Wu Han to advance about 1,000 miles, build a city, leave troops to garrison, and completely sweep away the surrounding Xiongnu.

The main force of the river line is divided into three routes. In the middle, Wu Kuijun was the vanguard, and traveled westward along Gonglushui. Li Xiaoquan in the south, Ma Yuan in the north, as a strategy, Jiang Hexing, Zhang Jie, Zhang Meng, Hao Zhan and others as the Chinese army troops. Zhang Kai sat in the city of two lakes, collecting ships, grain, grass, weapons, etc., as a backup.

Gonglu water is the main source of water for the two lakes, Wu Kui here, build also a lot of ships, although there are no large sailboats, but there are still a lot of medium-sized sailboats, a lot of transport grain, supplies, etc., is still enough to use.

The whole army packed up for five days, all the supplies were ready, and Wu Kui took the lead in setting off. The South Lake is full of large and small boats, cavalry and chariots on both sides of the lake, lined up in a neat queue, the red flag in front of the wave, the boats go against the current to the south, the cavalry also moves slowly, the four-wheeled carriages behind are one by one, which seem to be filled with all kinds of things, and there are many warriors standing in full armor, some holding spears, some holding bows and arrows, some holding cloud and thunder crossbows, and some holding long knives.

The sun was shining, the silver light was shining, and the team was like two long dragons, with no end in sight. With the issuance of the order to pull, the silver light reflected the blue light of the lake and began a new journey.
