Chapter 214: Counterattack the Huns

Liu Che looked at Zhang Jiayang's distant back, and silently muttered: "No matter how reluctant you are, there will eventually be a time to separate, and those who should go will go after all, let him go." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The ministers were caught off guard by the sudden incident, and they all looked at Liu Che's melancholy eyes and didn't know what to do, Liu Che eased his mind and said: "All Aiqing have something to play as soon as possible, and there is nothing to retreat." ”

At such a juncture, no one hit the muzzle of the gun, so he quietly retreated, Liu Che turned around and went to the back court, Zhang Tang hesitated for a moment and leaned in front of Han Yan and said: "Doctor, the small one still has important matters to report to the emperor, and I am tired of reporting it." ”

Han Yan pouted and said, "What did you eat just now, I fell asleep." ”

"This matter is a secret matter ordered by the emperor, and it is inconvenient for others to know. ”

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll go in and have a look. Han Yan walked in reluctantly.

"There's Dr. Lao. ”

Soon Han Yan walked out and said, "Your Majesty summons." ”

"Thank you, Doctor. ”

Zhang Tang walked into the backyard, Liu Che sat on the ground listlessly, and after seeing Zhang Tang walk in, he asked, "Is there a clue?"

"Exactly. Zhang Tang paused and said, "Yesterday I sent someone to search his home and found some tokens about the Huns, please check them out with Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Tang took out a handful of flags, horns, and felt sheaths used by the Huns from his sleeves...... , Zhang Tang said by the way: "In addition, some weapons were intercepted by the palace guards. ”

"Oh, let them bring it in. ”

"No. ”

After a while, the guards brought over some sabers, waist knives and other weapons used by the Huns, Liu Che took out a handful, grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled it out, the cold light instantly pierced his eyes, and cut it at a plate on the case, cut it into two without much effort, and then took a long hair and blew it on the blade, and separated in an instant, Liu Che couldn't help but praise: "Good knife, good knife." ”

"What Your Majesty said is that such a good knife is only available to the Huns, and our Han has not yet mastered this knife-making technology. Zhang Tang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, do you need to check next?"

"Well, these things are left, focus on checking his origin, you can't let go of the slightest clue, if there is an abnormality, report it quickly. ”

"No, the minister retired. ”

Zhang Tang withdrew for a long time, but Liu Che still couldn't put it down and played with these Hun treasure knives, and shouted later: "Han Yan, how is the matter of how the Hun weapons I asked to investigate are refined?"

"Your Majesty, several groups of people have been sent to the Huns, but they have not returned, and our own craftsmen have made little progress in the trial production of weapons. ”

"Alas, if my great man can have such sharp weapons and equip samurai, why worry about the border unease. Liu Che then asked, "What about the effect of horse breeding?"

"Back to Your Majesty, use the Xiongnu BMW in the north and the good horses selected by the Han for crossbreeding, the next generation has been born, and then we have to see the results when they grow up. ”

"Well, we must expand the breeding, the BMW is not a hybrid trial breeding part, a hybrid trial breeding part, if the effect meets the requirements, it must be distributed to the county war horse breeding farms as soon as possible, and a large number of breeding and breeding. ”

"No. ”

Liu Che held the Xiongnu sword tightly with his hand, and said with confidence: "If the Xiongnu do not surrender, the Han will not be at peace." ”

No matter how many grievances and hatreds there are in the world, how many hardships and hardships the common people have, the sun and the moon still alternate for a moment, and a few months later, Shaofu submitted a report to Liu Che: "Recently, the taxes of the mountains and seas and ponds have been unable to cope with a large number of expenses, so that a huge gap will be formed in another half a year, please make a decision for Your Majesty." ”

After Liu Che finished reading it, he threw it on the ground and shouted: "Call me Shaofu, what kind of bullshit, just mention the problem and have no way to deal with it, have you done your duty as a minister." ”

Han Yan saw it on the side, and hurriedly responded: "The minister will go to Xuanshao's Mansion to come." ”

Not long after, the god of Shaofu came to Liu Che, and Liu Che said, "Tell me what Shaofu should do?"

Shaofu fixed his mind and said: "Back to Your Majesty, take charge of the taxes of the mountains and seas and ponds to provide offerings." ”

"Tax, where has everyone gone?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in the past few years, several emergencies have been operated in a row, and the tax has been arranged to be used when it has not entered the treasury, such as the cost of flood control at the mouth of the Yellow River, the cost of fighting the Huns, and the cost of opening the southwest......"

"Don't say it. Liu Che said in a loud voice, "What do you want you to do, as a young mansion, you have to use your brains, aren't there still a lot of coins in the treasury." ”

"Your Majesty, part of the coins in the treasury have been spent, and the first emperor has made it clear that the stored currency cannot be used again until it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with emergencies. ”

"Well, you are elm heads, now the tax only involves the mountains and seas and ponds, go back and investigate and expand, such as whether the six animals of the merchant car can also start to be taxed. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the ministers and the officials will discuss it, and then report it to Your Majesty. ”

"Stand down. ”

"No. ”

After discussing with the ministers, the Shaofu God and the ministers formulated a tax on the trade of commercial vehicles and six animal taxes, and from then on, new taxes were gradually increased.

After the new tax was added, Liu Che was also thinking carefully that if the people's grain output could be increased was the key to solving the current tax problem, he opened a newspaper in his hand in annoyance, only to see that it was written that the canal was opened to divert water to irrigate the fields. He said that the people of Linjin (present-day DL County) were willing to dig a channel to divert water from Luoshui to irrigate the land east of Chongquan (present-day southeast of PC County). If the canal is completed, more than 10,000 hectares of saline-alkali land can be irrigated, and the yield per mu can be 10 stones. The person who wrote the book, Yan Xiong, Liu Che's heart instantly brightened a lot, and he immediately came to the spirit and said: "Come on, bring Yan Xiong, I want to discuss it with him." ”

Yan Xiong arrived and explained to Liu Che many benefits of canal irrigation and methods of canalization, Liu Che was very excited, and immediately ordered the canal to be excavated, named Longshou Canal, and at the same time excavated the Wei Canal to improve the fields.

When Liu Che was busy, the border pass was urgently reported again, and the Huns plundered the upper valley, Liu Che was even more furious this time and said: "See, the nature of the Huns can't be changed, it's time to teach them a lesson." ”

When convening the ministers to discuss the matter of sending troops, except for Ji Di, who as always strongly objected, everyone else was silent, at this time, Liu Che was even more tired of the argument of not sending troops, and said extremely impatiently: "What Ji Aiqing said has some truth, but it is no longer in line with today's situation, this time I want to change a new trick, I want to let the Huns see the strength of the Han soldiers, Wei Qing, you can talk about it." ”

"No, we should change the situation of blocking the Huns, and change to cavalry like the Huns, remove the heavy wagons and baggage, and go deep into the grassland to find the Huns to fight, in order to increase the probability of victory, we can divide multiple people and horses to attack at the same time. ”

Liu Che looked at Wei Qing and finished speaking, and continued with confidence: "To put it simply, we want to learn the strengths of the Hun warriors to supplement our shortcomings, and all walks of life go deep into the grassland at the same time to find enemies to fight, which is also an attempt." ”

"Your Majesty. The minister below echoed the avenue.

"This time, I am going to send four people, the one who volunteered to be the general?"

As soon as he heard that the general who was going to lead the troops, he thought about the tragic ending of Wang Hui in Ma Yi's scheme, and immediately remained silent.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, since I don't speak, I will order the general," Liu Che then asked, "Is Han Anguo's leg injury healed?"

Prime Minister Xue Ze, who knew the news below, replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the leg injury is still healing. ”

"Alas, forget it, it seems that I can't count on him this time," Liu Che changed the topic and said: "I give you a certain amount of time to think, and recommend to me generals who can lead troops to fight, welcome to recommend yourself, all step down, Wei Aiqing stays." ”

Everyone left the hall, Wei Qing stood next to Liu Che, Liu Che looked Wei Qing up and down, and said, "Zhong Qing (note: Wei Qing's words)." ”

"The minister is here. ”

"See, at present, the military generals of Wenchen have not spoken out whether they are in favor of fighting the Huns or against the Huns, why, does Zhongqing know the reason?"

Wei Qing's heart sank, and he took a step back and said, "The minister is stupid and doesn't know the reason. ”

"Hahaha, I just think that the fight against the Huns is to hit the stone with an egg, and my Han will be defeated, it is simply the majesty of the Huns, and destroy the morale of my Han, does Zhongqing have the confidence to lead the cavalry to compete with the Hun cavalry, and fight a beautiful victory to change the mentality of the Manchu Dynasty,"

"If Your Majesty gives an order, the minister will fight to the death. ”

"It's not for you Zhongqing to die, if the Han is not victorious, even if they are all dead, what is the use. ”

"I understand. ”

"You said that it is more certain to send people to lead troops, who is suitable to be a general at present?"

Wei Qing thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that Gongsun Ao in the Jianzhang army can be a general. ”

"Well, yes, does Qing think it's okay for the servant Sun He?"

"You can take responsibility, you might as well give it a try. ”

"At present, the government and the opposition are like this, there are not many opportunities for us to try and make mistakes, this time we must hit the Huns, and hit the arrogance of the Huns, otherwise the Han will no longer have the confidence to fight against the Huns. ”

At this moment, someone outside the hall shouted, and Liu Che asked, "Who is making noise outside the hall?"

A profrator trotted in and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Wei Li Guang is arguing to see Your Majesty." ”

"Oh, let him in. ”

"No. ”

Li Guangda stepped in and knelt down and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"What is the matter with General Li making a loud noise outside the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that he was going to send troops to fight the Huns in the selection of generals with troops. ”

"Yes, yes, does the general have a suitable candidate?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, it's right in front of you, how about the minister?"

Liu Che couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "The general bravely crowned the three armies, the elders of the three dynasties, and established immortal feats for the Han Dynasty, but the anti-counterfeiting of the Beijing division needs a general." ”

"Oh, Your Majesty, let the minister go, the minister has defended the border for many years, and has fought many times with the Hun robbers in the war, so he is familiar with their nature, and the odds of victory are relatively large. ”

"Well, that makes sense, the general will go back first, and I'll think about it. ”

"What else is Your Majesty considering, the minister will show His Majesty's martial arts in the palace now. After Li Guang finished speaking, he turned around and practiced boxing, his face was not red, his heart was not beating and he was not panting, and then said, "If Your Majesty is not satisfied, please move outside the hall to take a look at the minister's riding skills." ”

Liu Che was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "I have such a general, why worry about the Huns, I am accurate, General Li is one." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will go back and prepare, just wait for Your Majesty's order. After Li Guang finished speaking, he smiled and withdrew from the hall.

Liu Che said to Wei Qing: "See, General Li still has the courage of the past, and the big man is gratifying." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. ”

"Okay, that's it, you go back too, I will announce the matter of conscription and sending generals tomorrow, and Zhongqing will pull Jianzhang boy to the real battlefield for training. ”

"No, the minister will not hesitate to go to the soup for the Han Dynasty. ”

The next morning, in the silent silence of the ministers, Liu Che announced: "I Feng Weiqing sent troops from Shanggu for the general of the chariot cavalry, Gongsun Ao sent troops from Daijun for the cavalry general, Gongsun He sent troops from Yunzhong for the general of the light chariot, and Li Guang, the general of the Xiaocai cavalry, sent troops from Yanmen. The generals of the four routes each led 10,000 cavalry to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu to find the main force of the Xiongnu to fight each other. ”

Although Wei Qing had been prepared in his heart, when he heard the official appointment, he was still a little nervous in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he must come back with a victory, otherwise he would sleep on the side of the street.

Weiwei Li Guang was very excited, but Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao didn't know what to do, everything was determined in this way, and the holy decree was issued to move forward.
