(I suddenly found that I almost never asked for a tip, and today is rising, do any friends are willing to give a tip?)

Within the Great Tent

"My lord, I will ask for death in the end, and I hope that my lord will be fulfilled." I saw that inside the big tent, a big man who was covered in white cloth, with tears in his tiger eyes, stalked and fell to the ground to Liu Taibai and sobbed, and took a closer look at the white cloth bandaged Zhang Fei who was rescued by Guan Yu.

Then Guan Yu was taken back to Liu Tai's Chinese army, and those surviving ten Han soldiers, brought back after the war, three people died of serious injuries on the way, after arriving at the Chinese army, four more people died in the rescue, Zhang Fei who was out of the fortress at the beginning, in the end, including Zhang Fei, only four people survived.

"Hey" Liu Tai closed his eyes and sighed, Zhang Fei's merits were very great, but Zhang Fei's reckless actions led to the death of more than a thousand elite cavalry, which could not be overshadowed, of course, Liu Tai could not execute Zhang Fei, for Zhang Fei, Liu Tai was very fond of it, not to mention that he had made such a great contribution now?

"That's it, this matter, you will replace it with merit, no punishment and no reward, still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, retreat and rest, this look is scary, what kind of system." Liu Tai waved his hand and said with a helpless wry smile.

"Lord" Zhang Fei raised his head and looked at Liu Tai, because his head moved too fast, causing a wave of injuries in his body, and he suddenly grinned in pain.

"Go down, and see off your brothers." Liu Tai waved his hand, and then said to Fu Zhu with a little sadness: "Guangping, these fallen warriors should be well cared for, and the expenses for the growth of their descendants will be borne by the Northern Xinjiang Prefecture until they are sincere." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Liu Tai's pension for this group of fallen soldiers, although it has been increased many times, greatly increasing the burden on the northern Xinjiang, but he did not dare to refute it, after all, this group of people has made great contributions, if this battle is not for Meiji to be damaged, the number of dead and wounded is definitely dozens of times more, if you don't take care of their widows, all the civil and military generals, including Liu Tai, will not be able to get by.

Liu Tai nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "Zhicai, is there any latest movement of the Xiongnu army?" ”

Since Liu Taiqian said that after resting for a day, the whole army rushed to Meiji, took the ruins of Meiji as their own, and temporarily stationed here.

"Lord, the major tribes of the Southern Huns have begun to move to the place where the three major Hu tribes in the north will fight, in order to avoid the edge of our army, the left and right armies sent in advance have achieved very brilliant results, capturing more than 80,000 Xiongnu tribesmen, because it is the territory of the other two tribes in the past, so the two armies have begun to move closer to our Chinese army, and the prisoners have also been taken to Shuofang and handed over to the local garrison border army to take care of." Xi Zhicai took a sip of wine and said in one breath.

Liu Tai nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said out loud: "In the previous battle of Meiji, the Xiongnu lost 70,000 or 80,000 people, plus the harassment of Wen Chou and other four small troops, and lost another 40,000 or 50,000 people, and then this time the left and right Second Route Army swept and captured more than 80,000 Xiongnu people, so that the remaining population of the Xiongnu was less than 400,000, and the most soldiers and horses that could be mobilized were only 2560,000 at most."

"The lord is right, the 256,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Huns, of which the real elite is only 780,000, and most of them are dragged down by the rest of the two clans, and they dare not all put them into the battlefield, the Southern Huns are now suffering heavy losses, if the other two clans have no assistance, the Southern Huns will be destroyed and the hands of the lord." Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly, although Guan Yu does not have transcendent wisdom, his ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities on the battlefield is still good, otherwise he will not be appointed by Zhuge Liang as the lord of Jingzhou in the future.

"Otherwise, can you know the meaning of cold lips and teeth? In Fengzhi's opinion, the Southern Xiongnu will definitely ask for help from the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei two tribes, after all, the two tribes are strong and strong, Xianbei is now chaotic, but the strength is still there, it is absolutely impossible to sit and watch our army annihilate the Southern Xiongnu departments, and the Northern Xiongnu seem to be at odds with the Southern Xiongnu many times, but after all, the same family, under the danger of the Southern Xiongnu, it is very likely to send troops to seize the power of the Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu and reunify the Northern and Southern Xiongnu. Tian Feng, who had been thinking with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly.

"Well, what Yuan Hao said is true, if it continues, the situation is likely to change like this." Liu Tai nodded, although Tian Feng was not good at conspiracy and trickery, he had unique insights in yang strategy, very similar to Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty.

"My lord, Jia thinks there will be a change." Guo Jia, who was sitting not far from Liu Tai, suddenly raised his head and said.

"Oh? Tell me about it? Liu Tai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Guo Jia and asked.

Guo Jia nodded, then pointed to the sky, and said with a strange expression: "Isn't the Southern Xiongnu still able to ask for help from the imperial court?" ”

"This" everyone present suddenly all changed color, not that everyone couldn't think of it, but didn't want to think about it, the Han Dynasty has always fought abroad, most of them are foreign tribes to the Han court, after the army will be recalled, and at this time, it is very likely that the Southern Xiongnu have sent envoys to bypass the state and go to the Luoyang court.

Liu Tai nodded with a heavy expression, knowing that Guo Jia's words were true, the Southern Xiongnu would definitely be able to ask for help from the Han Court, if Emperor Ling wanted to withdraw his troops, would he retreat or not?

Emperor Ling's mentality, Liu Tai is actually not very clear, this is the so-called imperial mind, people can't see clearly, although Liu Tai knows that Emperor Ling very much hopes that he will send troops to the grassland, recover the prairie for the Han Dynasty back garden, but the monarchs of the past dynasties are suspicious, this will be nearly two years, Liu Tai in the north of Xinjiang many reforms, has touched the interests of too many people, the first of which is the military reform and the six-ministry system, these two reforms, no matter what, if the monarch is extremely virtuous, Liu Tai died a hundred times is not enough.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, not to mention such a big change in Liu Tai, even if he changed a little Han law, he might be punished by the imperial court, not to mention that Liu Tai was so jubilant in northern Xinjiang? It is rumored that among the many study rooms of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the books denouncing Liu Tai have been piled up in the two study rooms, and Liu Yan, who is still in Luoyang, is so frightened that he can hardly sleep at night, and he listens to the government all day long.

Liu Tai went all the way down, if it weren't for the support of Emperor Han Ling, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get to such a state, in fact, Emperor Han Ling was a little dissatisfied with Liu Tai's many reforms, after all, Liu Tai touched too many ancestral rules, if it weren't for Emperor Ling's hope pinning all his hopes on Liu Tai, he wouldn't let Liu Tai mess around like this.

The current situation is very delicate, Emperor Ling wants Liu Tai to send troops to the grassland, but he does not want Liu Tai to exterminate such a large ethnic group as the Southern Xiongnu too quickly, in the eyes of Emperor Ling, Liu Tai to conquer a tribe, it will take at least a few years, then you will think that in less than a month, the Southern Xiongnu will suffer heavy losses.

Emperor Ling didn't come through time, naturally he didn't know how much life he had, as an emperor, in the palace, delicious and delicious, any tonic and medicine in the world could be delivered at any time, in the spirit Emperor wanted to come, he could at least live to be seventy or eighty years old, and when Liu Tai was likely to wipe out the grassland tribe, he would have been fifty or sixty years old, and he had no need to pass on the throne to him, and the previous words naturally gave up.

At this time, the situation was different, Liu Tai's troops were too strong, after a few battles, the Southern Xiongnu who originally dominated the grassland were disabled, how long could the Southern Xiongnu support? With Emperor Ling's original promise, Liu Tai will be promoted to a level every time he destroys a small country of 500,000 tribes, at this time Liu Tai is already a marquis of a thousand households (a township marquis), a general of Tianwei, if he is promoted again, he is a marquis of ten thousand households (equivalent to a county marquis), a general of Tianwei, the general is above the three dukes, and controls the soldiers and horses of the world, does Emperor Ling have the courage to seal it?
