After Chen Ping, Shaofu Yangchengyan finally got courageous and stood up after realizing it.

"Since the first year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao also set the three Qins, and then went east to the Han Valley, and when Pengcheng was defeated, he retreated to Xingyang."

"After five years of waiting for the Han Dynasty, Xiang died in Wujiang, Chu died in Qixia, and even more princes with different surnames made chaos in the Kanto ······ year after year"

"Gongwei, Zang Di, Han Wangxin, Chu Wangxin······"

"Even before the previous year, Chen Feng rebelled against Zhao; Last year, Peng Yue rebelled against Suiyang and Yingbu in Huainan. ”

"Since the Han Dynasty has been twelve years, Emperor Gao has been in power, and the court has made every effort to eliminate the princes with different surnames as a matter of chaos in the eastern part of the country."

"Fortunately, blessed by the ancestors and blessed by the gods, His Majesty went out as a prince to the army and wiped out Yingbu; At this age, Emperor Taizu Gao beheaded the white horse, and the Marquis of Gong swore a blood oath: If it is not the Liu family, it will not be the king's ······"

Briefly summarizing the terrible situation faced by the Han family in the past ten years, Yang Chengyan's face couldn't help but have a touch of haggardness.

"The Kwantung region has been plagued by war for many years, and every time there is a tax or tax into the government treasury, it will be empty for the war;"

"There were many times when the war broke out and the treasury was weak, Emperor Taizu Gao had to order Xiao Xiangguo, and the officials of Guanzhong and the eunuchs to temporarily serve the war······"

"Although the Kanto region has been leveled, and Emperor Taizu Gao swore an alliance with the White Horse to eradicate the disadvantages of the princes with different surnames in the country, but the emptiness of the treasury, the suffering of the people in Guanzhong, and the fatigue of the generals and soldiers have not been relieved."

"Emperor Taizu Gao died, His Majesty followed filial piety and mourned the whole country, and the funeral cost a lot of money and food;"

"If at this time, the war breaks out again on the north wall and the treasury, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue······"

Hearing this, the anger on the faces of everyone in the hall finally had a tendency to ease, but after the anger retreated, it was replaced by a lingering suffocation, and a nest fire.

For everyone gathered in the Changxin Hall at this moment, what Yang Chengyan said was a fact that he couldn't find the slightest loophole.

In the eyes of most discerning people, Yang Chengyan's words were even a little conservative!

The Kanto region has been fighting for many years, the treasury is empty, and the military and civilians in Guanzhong are tired?

The reality is much more than that!!!!!

How bad the state of the treasury is, one sentence is enough to tell:

——From the first year of the Han Dynasty when Emperor Liu Bang of Gao Emperor Liu Bang also set the Three Qins, to the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty today, Chang'an, the imperial capital of Liu Han Sheji, has not moved a single brick or tile!

For twelve years, a Chang'an city was stunned and couldn't wait for an order to 'build'!

Even from the fifth year of the Han Dynasty when Xiang Yu killed Wujiang and Liu Bang succeeded to the throne, Liu Han, as a unified Chinese regime, still failed to erect even a boundary monument for his own imperial capital in seven years!

And the reason for this is only the words 'the emptiness of the treasury'······

The imperial capital of Chang'an is still like this, not to mention the military expenses issued by the former emperor Liu Bang in order to quell the rebellion of princes with different surnames, and the 'official half-lu' repeatedly implemented by Prime Minister Xiao He.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Liu Ying's coincidence that he introduced the grain government policy ahead of schedule, which greatly increased the financial revenue of the government treasury, then now, and even in the next five to ten years, the Han family will definitely not have the ability and confidence to 'depose the three-baht coin and unify the currency system'!

It is even very likely that even the funeral of the former emperor Liu Bang had to be paid by the entire court racking their brains to barely reach the level of 'not so shabby'······

As for the physical and mental exhaustion of the army and people in Guanzhong, it is not something that can be accurately described by the sentence 'years of conquest'.

——The year before last, that is, in the autumn of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, the acting prime minister Chen Feng rebelled.

In order to quell Chen Xuan's rebellion, the former emperor Liu Bang transferred more than 200,000 troops from Guanzhong to seek a quick peace of war.

In the autumn of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, the more than 200,000 young people in the Guanzhong who followed the former emperor Liu Bang to quell the rebellion first fought in the territory of Zhao until last year, that is, in the summer of the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty;

After that, the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two parts, one continued to fight against Chen Feng in the Dai and Zhao areas, and the other went south to Huaiyang for Liu Ying, who was then the crown prince, to quell the rebellion of King Yingbu of Huainan.

Later, at the end of the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty, Yingbu was defeated, and this part of the soldiers and horses returned the same way as soon as possible, went north to Handan, followed Fan Xu and Zhou Bo, and continued to pacify the rebellion of Chen Xuan;

Waiting for this year, that is, at the beginning of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Feng was defeated, but these hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong disciples still couldn't rest for a while, so they went north non-stop to swallow thistle, and leveled the Yan King Lu Juan······

It was not until last month after Liu Bang's death, that is, at the end of May of the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, that these hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong children who went out of the Guanzhong to quell the rebellion in the autumn of the 10th year of the Han Dynasty were finally able to return home.

And this is two years······

Jun Xiaosheng two years ago has become the rough man he is today; The young man two years ago has also become a husband.

This is what Yang Chengyan really wants to express in the sentence 'Guanzhong army and people are tired'.

- If the war breaks out again in a short period of time, then in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the men transferred by the court must still be the same group of people who went out with Liu Bang the year before last!

And this group of people left home for two years and fought hard for two years, and even if most of them returned home safely, it was only a little more than a month ago······

Perhaps under Yang Chengyan's reminder, realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lu Pheasant, who originally had a slightly strong face, suddenly shook slightly.

After glancing around at everyone in the hall, and then at Fan Xu, who was still kneeling on the ground, Lu Pheasant finally gritted his teeth and raised his head.

"Please also ask Shaofu to speak up."

"——If the Marquis of Wuyang has 100,000 soldiers, goes north to Daidi, fights with Hu Cai, and Shaofu is in the house, how long can it be supported?"

After saying that, Lu Pheasant turned his head sideways with a calm face and looked at Xiao He not far away.

"The treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how much grain can be given for the Marquis of Wuyang to ask for Hu?"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's question, Yang Chengyan only took a deep breath with a stern expression, and asked Xiao He for another look.

After Xiao He slowly nodded to himself, Yang Chengyan bowed again.

"Empress Dowager."

"Last year, Your Majesty was ordered by Emperor Taizu Gao to carry out the government of grain and rice in Guanzhong, and entrusted the matter of storing grain on behalf of the people to Shaofu, in case of this year, there is no grain merchant Mijia in Guanzhong, and the people have nowhere to buy grain."

"For this matter, the Shaofu used all the copper coins stored in the internal treasury, and looted all kinds of bronze utensils to mint five baht of Han money."

"At the beginning of spring this year, the young government has no money, and only the merchants have to buy grain, but tens of thousands;"

"Since the autumn of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, the war in the eastern part of the country has been endless, and the vinegar cloth, dry food, pickles and vegetables that Shaofu originally had have have been exhausted."

"More bows, crossbows, arrows, spears, halberds and other blades, but the arsenal has less than a million sealed arrows, and the blades are no more than 10,000 ······."

Hearing Yangchengyan's words, even if he had expected the resources of the Chang'an court in the war in the past few years, the hundreds of officials in the palace couldn't help but gasp, and looked at each other's eyes, all of them were shocked.

- Vinegar cloth, dry food, sauce, vegetables and other materials were all consumed, but it was still expected by everyone, and it was barely acceptable, and if necessary, Shaofu was fully capable of replenishing these materials in a short time.

However, the consumption of weapons and ordnance greatly exceeded the expectations of the entire Chang'an court, and even Liu Ying himself!

Needless to say, just one 'stock of bows, crossbows and arrows is less than one million' has already made it impossible for the current Han family to support a war of any scale within two years!

In later generations, the legend that Zhuge Wuhou borrowed money from the grass boat and got 100,000 arrows from Cao Jun is famous;

But the situation of the Han family today is very different from that time.

- Today's Han Dynasty is almost entirely composed of heavy infantry arrays, bow and crossbow troops, and all kinds of chariots as the main combat force!

And since the siege of Baideng five years ago, 'the chariot was seriously restrained by the cavalry', which has also become the consensus of the entire Han military!

Under this premise, the only way for the Han to fight in the face of a Xiongnu army composed almost entirely of cavalry was to simply and rudely 'resist damage in a phalanx of heavy infantry, and shoot crossbows and crossbows in the rear to cause damage'.

In other words: the bow and crossbow are the only means of attack that the Han family can take in the face of the Huns!

The lack of bows and arrows meant that even if they fought, the Han army would not be able to attack at all, so they could only let the heavy infantry carry huge shields and withstand rounds of guerrilla fire from the Hun light cavalry and the savage collision of the cannon fodder troops······

"Less than a million ······"

"A cluster of bows and crossbows of 100,000 people can't even divide ten arrows per capita······"

involuntarily let out a murmur, and Liu Ying's face couldn't help but become a little serious.

- This problem is very serious!

Even if the Han-Hungarian War could not be fought this time, the problem of less than one million arrows in the central bow was still serious for the Han family!

Liu Ying clearly remembers: Last year, when he went out to quell the Yingbu rebellion, Liu Ying alone took nearly 2 million bows and arrows from Chang'an!

Later, the main force of the Guanzhong army that went south from Handan also slacked off the individual reserves that had already been issued, and the total number was at least one million!

In addition, during the war, Qi and Chu equipped their own troops, as well as the bows and arrows that were allocated for Liu Ying's subordinates, as well as Chang'an······

——In the rebellion of King Yingbu of Huainan alone, which lasted only a few months, the bows and arrows invested by the Han family were at least five million!

That's it, it's still the Huainan rebels who are also infantry!

If it is against the Hun cavalry cluster?

- You must know the customs of the Huns, but even the remains of the dead must be taken away, and they will not even give the Han army the opportunity to cut off the head!

Liu Ying is very sure: in front of such a group of barbarian horsemen who can't even eat and eat bowls together, less than a million bows and arrows, I am afraid that they will not even be used for ten days, and they will become the 'armament replenishment' of the Huns!

This also means that if this battle really starts, then within ten days of the start of the war, the Han army will see that it will completely lose its offensive capability, or strike capability······

"Bow Feather Arrows ······"

"Hmmm······"

"After the dispersal of the dynasty, I have to go to Shaofu······"

When Liu Ying was thinking with a gloomy face, Prime Minister Xiao He finally gave his own reply with a hum.

-- Thanks to the policy of the grain official camp, the military rations required by the army can be fully borne by the treasury!

But after this sentence, Xiao He added a sentence almost without thinking: But the minister did not recommend that the Queen Mother allow Fan Xu's request.

As for the reason, Xiao He also said it very bluntly.

It's really only for 100,000 people, and Fan Xu can't get any results no matter what; At least about 300,000 soldiers and horses must be needed to ensure the completion of the strategic goal of 'retaliating against the Huns'.

But today's Han family does not have the ability to recruit 300,000 people into the army, nor does it have enough weapons and ordnance to arm these 300,000 people.

- Like Ji Bu, Xiao He opposed Fan Xu's proposal, and still did not mention 'Fan Xu should die', but talked about the facts, and objectively and truly put the current situation of the Han family in front of Lu Pheasant, a hundred officials and courtiers in the palace.

And after Xiao He made it clear that 'it is indeed not a good time to start a war', the entire Changxin Hall fell into a long silence again.

"So ······"

I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw Lu Pheasant smile bitterly and lowered his head, and patted it lightly on the Hun book in front of him.

"I, I will surrender myself, and I will write to ask for mercy from Shan Yu, so as to temporarily rest the war······"

Lu Pheasant's words immediately provoked the anger of everyone in the hall again, but the anger was still not able to vent in this Changxin Palace.

- That's the case, it's the current situation······

Even if it is grief and grief and indignation, these pillars and pillars of Liu Hansheji can only crush all the humiliation and teeth together, and then swallow them together.

Just as the hundred officials in the hall were full of tears and bowed their heads in humiliation, they saw that under the imperial steps, Ji Bu's loud side sounded out of place again.

"I think the queen mother may not have to be like this."

"- Yi Di Bi is like a beast, and his good words are not enough to be happy, and his evil words are not enough to be angry."

"The Queen Mother can be vain and entrust the snake to him, and then learn a little from the old policy of Emperor Taizu Gao, and resume the ······ and pro-family"

"Presumptuous !!"

Almost at the moment when the word 'harmony' came out of Ji Bu's mouth, everyone in the hall threw their resentful eyes to Ji Bu who was standing in the center of the hall!

And Liu Ying, the son of heaven, who had never been the same from beginning to end, finally took advantage of this roar and got up from the couch angrily!

"Sheji is disgraced, the queen mother is disgraced, and as a son of man, I am even more unfilial !!"

"When the queen mother was ashamed, the society was ashamed, and I lost my filial piety, but I didn't think about serving the country, I dared to speak up and ?!!!!! relatives."

With another roar of extreme resentment, Liu Ying used all his strength to widen his eyes, and his fierce gaze swept over everyone in the hall!

"If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be a son of man in vain!!"

"This revenge will not be avenged, wait! It's all in vain!!!!! ”

After speaking, Liu Ying calmed his face, flicked his sleeves coldly, and knelt down at Lu Pheasant beside him!

"Chief Di Mao Dunshu insulted his biological mother, son, shame and anger are unbearable!"

"The prestige of the Han family is despised by the barbarians, sons, speechless to face the ancestors of the Liu family!"

"Erchen! Fight !! ”

"Son, be the royal driver!"

"When the horse steps on the south of the curtain!"

"Slaughter the !! of the left side"

"Son, the enemy of this country will be hated !!!!!"
