After the elation, when the team of about 30 people returned to the North Daying, when they faced the eyes of the full camp as if welcoming the return of heroes, Sima Dan and the others were not too energetic, but stood at the front of the welcoming crowd, constantly holding the hands of different people and patting the shoulders of different people:

"! You can't die again this time! ”

"It's you again! Your knife is so hard! ”

"Huh! You hard-nosed boy, where did you hurt? ”

Cao Lie also waited in the crowd and knelt down to greet the prince.

Sima Dan ordered everyone to stand up.

Long Er suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "The prince is mighty!" The prince is mighty! ……”

In the blink of an eye, the entire camp was full of cheers, and Cao Lie also raised his arms and shouted, Sima Dan was covered in blood, or won the respect of the soldiers.

Sima Dan raised his hand to calm everyone down, and said in a deep voice: "The man of Beidaying, we will soon usher in a bigger battle, since we are here, we will not let the Huns step on our rivers and mountains here, this is what I will not allow, in short, we will not only defeat, but also make them suffer heavy casualties like today!" ”

So, Sima Dan instructed Cao Lie to interrogate the three Huns he brought back.

He saw Zhuge Min's concerned eyes.

******

Sima Dan was sitting at a table, Xiao Min was changing his dressing, but he and Zhuge Sheng looked at each other.

Sima Dan finally couldn't help but slap the table: "You lie!" Where in the world is there a victory without heavy casualties? ”

Zhuge Sheng was furious: "That's Julius Caesar, are you him?" In the past, in battles, only the Qin army could reduce its own casualties when the number of people was about the same, otherwise they would kill 100 enemies and lose 8,000! It's good that you'll be back on your own this time! ”

Sima Dan was also angry: "Didn't you say that as long as you break the opponent's sharp energy, the opponent will be defeated, and you can take advantage of the situation to drown?" There are many in history! ”

"That was under the condition that the other party had no will to fight, but last night the Huns thought that the victory was in their hands, and you fought more with less, and this kind of victory suffered the heaviest casualties, because the enemy can generally hold on to the fighting spirit! Besides, you use cavalry to charge into battle, this is simply life for life, cavalry can only be used as an outflanking detour, but you use it to charge the formation, think about falling off the horse and falling half to death, you are really a chaotic command! ”

Sima Dan was speechless, and his heart was filled with fear for a while, and he was in a cold sweat: "It's really so difficult to live?" ”

Zhuge Sheng: "This kid with dragon ears is really not simple, and he uses a plan to link one ring after another." ”

Xiao Min was unconvinced and said: "Xiao Dao'er, the eldest husband should charge into battle, but he thinks about how to escape every day." ”

Sima Dan said, "Master, do you think we should use an infantry phalanx?"

"Of course, it's just that your shield is smaller this time, you should bring an infantry shield, as long as you form a formation, there are iron crossbows and throwing spears in the distance, and there are giant shields and spears nearby, why worry about the opponent's cavalry? Of course, Li Ling used this formation to defeat hundreds of thousands of Huns with 5,000, if it wasn't for the lack of backup, how could he be captured? Macedonia even used this formation to break the elephant formation in Persia. ”

Xiao Min said, "Dad! We're running out of crossbows right now! What to do when the Hun army arrives? ”

"With a bow and arrows, with a throwing spear! In short, you can't use cavalry against cavalry, and you can't use cavalry. ”

Sima Dan stood up suddenly, Xiao Min hadn't bandaged him yet, and said angrily: "Are you going to die?" ”

"Nope! I will go and tell them to prepare infantry shields and bows and arrows, and send people to the king of Yan to ask for a few hundred more iron crossbows. ”

******

Long Er saw Sima Dan hurriedly enter Cao Lie's barracks, and said to a young soldier behind him: "You see, this person's temperament is more anxious than the old prince, he is really childish. ”

The soldier behind him rolled his eyes: "You weren't that old when you arrived here a few years ago?" Little Ear, what do you think of him? ”

"Yes, killing and deciding can also buy people's hearts, and there must be a master to advise, as his crown prince. We are regarded as the masters, and in the troubled times, we can do a lot of things,"

"Little Erzi, you are a small soldier, surviving your life in troubled times, relying on a little cleverness, you compare yourself to the dragon and phoenix, if you think about this time the Hun 100,000 army went south, no one in this tiger village can survive!"

"Wolong and phoenix, you have to settle the world, Mr. Shui Jing said this, just to put gold for himself, Shu Han got both, but he gave the country to Sima's family, it can be seen that I compare myself to them, but I am already humble, do you know why Sima's can take the world on behalf of Cao, Shu, and Wu?"

"I want to hear about it."

Because although Cao Cao invented the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, he could not understand the clan society that had become the general trend of the world since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and tried in vain to establish a situation like the Qin Dynasty, so his family could not get the support of other large families, and the Sima family was good at dividing power and co-ruling power with major families in order to win the unification.

"Takami!" Everyone couldn't help but be impressed.

"I'm here to wait for the prince to talk, you better avoid it first!"

******

Cao Lie said to Sima Dan: "They said that a total of 300,000 string control people will arrive in a few days." ”

Deng Bing frowned and said: "Even Yanzhou Dao can't stop so many enemies, and no one will believe us if we send envoys to Jingshi." ”

Cao Lie nodded: "In such a cold weather, there must be a snow disaster in the north, they are facing the ghost side this time, they either go south, and then there is a big desert to the west, they may not dare, but the Jingshi has enjoyed peace for a long time, unless- unless the prince personally goes to the capital to play the emperor." “

Sima Dan: "If they go to ask for help without a big battle, they really won't believe it, only wait for them to rush to the Great Wall of Yanzhou Road, but where do we go during this period?" ”

Faced with this problem, Cao Deng and the others were silent.

Sima Dan spread his hands and said: "It is the will of the old prince to set up Hukou Village, and the emperor just wants to use the Great Wall as a defensive line, right?" ”

Cao Lie and Deng Bing glanced at each other and asked, "Where did the prince hear about it?" ”

Sima Dan said: "Anyway, I've heard of it, if the Xiongnu really raise 300,000 troops and horses, it won't be useful for us to defend here, since I am a pacification envoy, it is okay to retreat to the Great Wall and defend again, and then the soldiers of the Marquis of Yan will also be under my control, and the Xiongnu will have a good fight." ”

Cao Lie and Deng Bing glanced at each other and didn't speak.

******

When Sima Dan strode out of Cao Lie's place, Long Er intercepted him, and Sima Dan was also about to talk to him, so he told him about the conversation with Cao Deng.

Long Er frowned: "The so-called emperor intends to defend the Great Wall, I'm afraid it is what the prince said for the sake of the heart of the soldiers?" ”

Sima Dan's face turned red, but fortunately it was night, and Lang Long'er couldn't see it.

"Also, the prince goes back like this, even if the emperor doesn't blame him, one day if... To find a truth, this is not a ready-made reason? ”

Sima Dan didn't expect him to be so straightforward, frowning and silent.

Long Er suddenly knelt down: "Please forgive the prince for the villain's sin of being straightforward." ”

Sima Dan sneered: "Is it a sin to be straightforward and fast-talking?" ”

"Yes! Be! Prince! In the next confession, it's just that the villain thinks that if he still has reservations about the prince at this moment of life and death, he may miss the big thing, the prince, the villain is willing to offer three strategies: the middle, and the next. ”

Sima Dan really didn't know who was how, so he could only be silent.

"Prince, now the prince is in danger, like a thunder pool, the 300,000 troops in front of him, just a temporary danger, the prince is now in the same situation as the old prince, it is that the upper does not see the mercy of the king, there is no minions and teeth, and there is no fault at every turn, and the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, if you can hold the tiger mouth village at this time, it is really the best policy, although the tiger mouth village is small, the Huns will not waste too much energy, and there is now a lot of food here, and the armament is complete, as long as the whole army is united, as long as it holds on for a few months, and waits for the change in the direction of the middle of the wind, and then chooses the opportunity to break through, when the prince is safe."

"If so, there is no one out of ten who can survive in the end? The Xiongnu are not afraid that we will cut off their back roads, or they may only send small soldiers to surround them, as long as the Great Wall is not broken, it should not be difficult to find an opportunity to break through...... It's just that you and I can go home, maybe it's just you and me. ”

"Don't dare, I will definitely defend the city for the prince, and I will never dare to be greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"What about the middle policy?"

"Take the cavalry in a detour and leave with the enemy as soon as possible, so that the casualties will be smaller, but the prince must deal with the relationship between the two fathers-in-law on the left and right, if they can say a few good words for you, the emperor will not blame."

"The next policy is the prince's policy, the emperor... If the warrior loses, the prince may become a scapegoat! ”

"A lonely city to defend? If you can't hold it, you might die! ”

"Prince, how can there be a strategy for both, the next strategy is death, the risk of the upper policy is lower than the middle policy, if the prince is afraid of not being able to hold it, I am willing to guarantee with the head, this walled city is as stable as Mount Tai, don't forget jì, they want to attack the Great Wall, although the Great Wall is long, the city is only less than half of the city, and the Xiongnu have no siege equipment, our civil structure has been reinforced, and they have nowhere to start."

******

When Youyong rushed back to Hukou Pass, the Huns had not yet appeared.

Zuo Yong intercepted him at the pass: "Why did you bring so many weapons back?" ”

"It's Yan Jun who escorts the car, and the things are also Yan Hou's, what can I do?"

Zuo Yong saw that the prince also came out, so he could only interrupt the conversation.

Sima Dan laughed: "The right father-in-law has made a great contribution this time, and we will reward the meritorious deeds when we go to the village later." ”

Youyong gave up his hand on the horse: "Failing to bring reinforcements is guilty." ”

Sima Dan pointed to the 1,000 Yanzhou cavalry holding grain: "This soldier is very majestic, isn't it a reinforcement?" ”

Xiang Yun, the leader of the cavalry of the Yan State, knelt down to Sima Dan: "The last general was ordered by the Marquis of Yan to return to Youzhou to assist in the defense after making a heavy continuation." ”

Sima Dan changed color: "Here is the army under the city, the Hun army will arrive in the day, and the soldiers and horses are needed, I am the pacification envoy, and the soldiers in the north of the three towns and towns, can I not command a thousand Yan cavalry?" People come, where is Shang Fang's sword? ”

In the midst of the loud cheers, the two guards took out an ancient sword, wrapped it in a yellow belt, and held it in the air, Sima Dan shouted: "Shang Fang sword, such as the emperor in person!" ”

The Yan soldiers hurriedly dismounted, and even Chen Yun, who was mixed in the cavalry and wanted to see Sima Dan's appearance, hurriedly knelt down with the crowd.

"Rank, I, Sima Dan, will leave you behind, not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I want you to protect you.

If so, why don't I flee back to the Great Wall now? ”

Sima Dan handed over Shang Fang's sword to Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun was at a loss, and heard Sima Dan say: "All of them here are directly under me, and only General Xiang can do it for me!" ”

Xiang Yun held Shang Fang's sword, he was sincerely afraid, and he intuitively felt that the things he had lifted in his life were not so heavy, even Chen Yun was up and down in his heart, and he didn't know why this Shang Fang sword, which was like the emperor's presence in person, was handed over to Xiang Yun.

"This prince hereby swears, in this battle to protect the family and defend the country, I will definitely stand in front of you, and the blood of the army, if you violate this oath, please ask the general to cut off my head with the sword of Shang Fang and return it to the emperor!"

The sergeants He Layer heard such bold words, Cao Lie and the others also hurriedly knelt down, and the left and right Yong also hurriedly knelt down and bowed, praising long live.

The spring thunder suddenly appeared, and the army was shocked.

"What about you, who are the protectors of this prince, and all the peoples? General Xiang, where are your families? ”

Xiang Yun was stunned and said, "All... All over Hebei! ”

"Exactly! If the Great Wall is broken, the land of Hebei will be ruined, everyone, you are fighting for your family! ”

"Yan Hou has promised this seat, put you in my hands, Yan Hou is responsible for guarding the Great Wall, but we must rob the other party's grain and grass here, so that they can not take care of each other, if the enemy is strong, we must avoid its front, in short, although we do not defend the city, but here to shoulder a heavier task! If the Xiongnu were allowed to attack the Great Wall endlessly, would Yan Hou be able to defend Youzhou by himself? ”

"In short, we are now in the village, and in the evening we and the generals of Yanzhou, we will gather together and discuss the account!"

Chen Yun, who saw this scene, thought: "I thought I was already bold, but I didn't expect this kid to be even worse!" Her heart, which was already dead, suddenly began to burn.
