Back at the Quzhou Marquis Mansion, Liji found his father Lishang who was busy teasing birds in the backyard.

The 'retirement' life in the past few years has obviously made Lishang addicted to 'enjoying life', and many habits that could not have appeared in the past have gradually appeared in Lishang's body.

Although it has not reached the point of cockfighting and lackeying, in the eyes of Liji, as a son, his father Lishang has long lost the demeanor of the past.

I thought that my father's claws had degenerated, but I just asked with the mentality of trying, but Liji unexpectedly saw that above my father's still lazy face, it surged up again in an instant, and it was awe-inspiring sharpness!

Then, it was Lishang who answered all the doubts for Liji from the perspective of a founding father and a veteran minister of the Pillar Kingdom.

"Your Majesty's move is a conspiracy;"

"And it is counted in one fell swoop, and it is beneficial to my Han family without any harm!"

Without hesitation to make a judgment, Li Shang sat up straight with excitement and analyzed the stakes for Li Ji.

"Today's grassland, the Huns are powerful, especially the tigers and wolves of Qin back then;"

"Last year, the Marquis of Chang'an sent back a letter, saying: The Huns, the country of a hundred barbarians, the headquarters of the Huns is only tens of thousands, but in addition to the headquarters, there are also surrenders, defeats and surrenders, and slaves are not counted!"

"Therefore, the Huns fought in the Yueshi, not the 'Huns fought in the Yueshi', but the grassland barbarians gathered together under the account and conquered the Yueshi."

"Therefore, the defeat of the Yue clan is only sooner or later;"

"Don't say that today, Your Majesty is helping with the damaged and old armor, which is the power of my Han family, and it is inevitable that the Yue clan will be ······destroyed by the Huns."

With a smile on his face, Lishang's tone became more and more relaxed, and his gaze at Liji was even more visible to the naked eye.

"That is, the death of the Yue family is not too soon, then for my Han family, the stronger the Yue family, the more peaceful the Han family;"

"The more difficult it is for the Huns to destroy the Huns, the more peaceful the border wall of our Han family will be."

"Therefore, even if Your Majesty knows: the Yue's Han soldier armor may or nothing, and he is still willing to use the soldier armor to deal with it."

"Why?"

"——Yue's festival is getting rid of the predicament, Hexi; The Huns were pressing forward step by step, and they had to fight! ”

"And the Huns, Wen Yue's clan will be angry and attack them with the help of my Han;"

"The more intense the Xiongnu's offensive in Yueshi, the more losses will be, and the more our Han family will benefit······"

"Now the Han family, the veteran fathers are withering, and the emerging heroes are not succeeding;"

"My son may be able to sit back and wait for the opportunity to move······"

Hearing Lishang's in-depth analysis in simple terms, as well as the last sentence of 'waiting for the opportunity', Lishang's face couldn't help but swell with excitement.

Lishang was right.

For today's Yueshi people, defeat is a foregone conclusion; A death war with the Xiongnu was also inevitable.

In such a situation, it is indeed as Li Shang said: the stronger the Yueshi people, the longer they can resist the Huns, and the greater the trouble caused to the Huns, the more beneficial it will be for the Han family.

As for the weapons and equipment of the Yue clan's white prostitution of the Han family, the possibility of not complying with the agreement at all is basically close to zero.

- Even if they don't fight the Huns for the sake of the Han family, the current situation of the Yueshi people makes it necessary for them to fight the Huns!

Even if they knew that they were defeated, the Yueshi people had to do everything in front of the Huns' military peak in order to survive.

In this case, why not provide the Yueshi people with some weapons and equipment that are not of much use to the Han family, but can make the Yueshi people more powerful?

Anyway, even if you don't give it to the Yue's people, these old weapons and equipment are useless;

It is better to send the Yueshi people away, so that the Huns can waste a few more years of effort, so as to win a few more years of development time for the Han family.

But then······

"My lord just said: If the Wenyue clan has the help of the Han, the Huns will be angry?"

Frowning slightly, he asked a little worriedly, and when Li Shang nodded with satisfaction, Li Ji continued to ask: "In this case, how can we talk about 'benefiting my Han'?" ”

"—The anger of the Huns, who surrendered to the Nuyue clan for help from the Wu Han family;"

"However, in addition to the Yue clan, the Xiongnu Northern Barbarians can't help but be angry with the Han family'?"

"If because of this, the Xiongnu temporarily stopped the war in Hexi and went south to retaliate, wouldn't my Han family be cocooned and bound by themselves?"

Seeing that Lisu saw through the key so quickly, the look of relief on Lishang's face became more and more prosperous;

Full of approval, he smiled and nodded at Liji, and then saw Lishang standing up with joy and patting his son Liji's shoulder gently.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty and the Yue's soldiers, the Huns will be angry;"

"This anger may be related to the Yue family, and it is inevitable that it will not be as good as my Han family."

"That's why I woke up my son in dialect: Wait for ······"

Meaningfully dropping such a sentence, Li Shang patted Li Ji's head again, handed out a 'think about it yourself' look, and left the backyard gracefully.

After Lishang left, Liji sat for a long time with a puzzled expression;

When he reacted, Liji's face finally swelled up with a touch of joy that was exactly the same as his father Lishang, like pouring out of a mold!

"Your Majesty!"

"Okay······"

"Good!

！ ”

·

When Li Jixi left her backyard and began to gather her own family guards, Liu Ying finally completed a big event in Weiyang Palace.

- Reply to the national letter of the Huns, the drafting is completed.

Regarding the strong condemnation of the Huns against the 'Han Andong County', Liu Ying laid out the facts and reasoned, from the Jizi Joseon period thousands of years ago to the Warring States and Yingqin in the early years;

To put it mildly, it is actually a sentence: the Korean Peninsula has been an inseparable part of our Chinese heritage since ancient times!

The Han family will not tolerate any external forces that try to meddle in the internal affairs of China!

As for Wei Man, who had briefly informed the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, he was defined by Liu Ying as a 'thief of the country';

The Huns supported Wei Manchu and snatched the Jizi Joseon Sheji from the hands of Ji Zhun, the last monarch of Jizi Joseon, and was accused by Liu Ying of 'meddling in the internal affairs of the Han family'.

Of course, after the hard words are finished, it is natural that diplomatic polite words are inevitable.

What's 'there must be some misunderstanding here'~

What 'supporting Wei Manchu Korea, it must be a subordinate of Shan Yu making his own assertions'~

What 'the matter of Andong County, someone must have bewitched Shan Yu', Liu Ying didn't forget to bring it.

For today's Liu Ying, talking nonsense with her eyes open has long been a perfect skill.

In the end, Liu Ying finally talked about the core of this diplomatic activity: in order to demonstrate the friendly relations between Han and Hungary and reaffirm the friendship alliance between Han and Hungary, the Han family was willing to open five more border markets as a mutual market between Han and Hungary.

And, as usual, these five border cities are all located in the buffer zone of the Han-Hungarian border; Within 20 miles of the border city, neither Han nor Hungary stationed troops.

With this last condition, Liu Ying also believes that the purpose of the Huns in this bilateral negotiation has been achieved more than half;

As for other parts, such as grain, tea, cloth and other gifts, or relatives, Liu Ying did not mention anything.

It's just that in the last part of the national letter, Liu Ying mentioned intentionally or unintentionally: Oops, I said brother~

Recently, the Yueshi people have not bought weapons from me?

Would you like to buy some too?

Writing such a sentence, the depression in Liu Ying's heart finally dissipated.

Liu Ying knew in her heart: Even if the current Han family has developed rapidly in the first six years after Liu Ying ascended the throne, and its national strength, especially financial strength, has been greatly improved, but in fact, it has not yet reached the time for a decisive battle.

The reason is also simple;

——In the past few years, it is not so much that Liu Ying is accumulating wealth for the Han family, but that Liu Ying is paving the way for wealth;

Grain, rice, salt and iron, and even the "Jinbu Law" and "Jinguan Law" proposed by Empress Lu and implemented by Liu Ying seem to have brought a lot of wealth to the Han family, but in fact, they only laid a solid foundation for the economic take-off of the Han family in the future.

To put it more bluntly, the money Liu Ying has earned in the past few years is not used to fight the Huns, but to quickly strengthen the Han family in the future and accumulate the strength to fight the Xiongnu as soon as possible.

If this start-up capital is used by Liu Ying for the war, it will be equivalent to working in vain in the past six years, and everything will have to start all over again.

It's like a farmer who is hungry and won't eat grain: no matter how angry Liu Ying is, he won't want the Han family and the Xiongnu to die today.

So even if she doesn't want to admit it in her heart, Liu Ying clearly understands: Now, it's not the time to fight the Huns;

The comparison of strength between the two sides, especially in the comparison of military strength, the Han family is still at an obvious disadvantage.

Under such circumstances, it stands to reason that Liu Ying should have implemented the foreign policy of Emperor Taizu Gao, stabilized the Xiongnu with peace and alliance, continued to gain time for development, and fought for foreign strategic advantages through the strong personnel and resource mobilization capabilities of the Chinese civilization;

But even after two lifetimes and more than ten years of survival in this era, Liu Ying still failed to abandon some of the unique characters of later generations.

- For harmony, Liu Yingning is indisobedient!

Therefore, at the diplomatic level, Liu Ying changed the past peace to 'open a border city' as a means to stabilize the Huns;

Anyway, the Han Dynasty's control over metal, tea, and weapons and ordnance was enough to ensure that no official goods would flow into the grassland.

Liu Yingzi was also happy to use the living materials that the Huns hoped to obtain through trade to temporarily stabilize the Huns, rather than through humiliating peace.

As for Liu Ying and the Yue's eyebrows, and inexplicably revealing this to the Huns, it was another consideration for Liu Ying.

"Gotta fight········"

"We have to fight a small and medium-sized battle that is not big or small, and can understand the shortcomings and combat methods of the Hun cavalry·······"

With a slightly sad sigh, Liu Ying lowered her head and looked at the few pieces of paper in front of her;

Since that year, Liu Ying took the opportunity of the 'examination' to launch bamboo rice paper that can be used for writing, and the Shaofu Inner Treasury can be regarded as another contribution.

In the Kanto region, I don't know how many big dogs who want to be vassals and elegant, or 'scholarly families' with strong family backgrounds, waving the five baht money in their hands and wanting to buy a few pieces of bamboo rice paper produced by Shaofu.

As for the court, although the important documents and recitals are still carried by bamboo slips, the writings and letters in daily work have gradually been replaced by lighter Shaofu special rice paper.

And the note in front of me, since it uses rice paper as the writing carrier, it should show that what this note says is not too important;

But only Liu Ying knew: what kind of thing would make Yangchengyan's iron rooster secretly tell himself at the cost of a piece of rice paper worth five hundred yuan·······

——Shaofu's weapons and equipment urgently need to be verified in actual combat!

Whether it is various armor such as scale armor and plate armor, or weapons such as crossbows and knives, they all need to be verified through actual combat!

In fact, if it is other weapons, Shaofu can completely verify the practicability of these weapons through simulated exercises.

For example, the performance of the armor can be cut with a sword, smashed with a hammer, or put on two people, and then fight with a wooden sword or a wooden hammer;

For example, bows and crossbows can be used to target the community to obtain effective range and destructiveness;

For example, weapons can still be cut on military stakes and dummies to see if they are sharp and smooth.

But the crux of the problem lies in the fact that the weapons that Shaofu is developing now, without exception, are all based on the 'Hun cavalry' as an imaginary enemy, with a strong pertinence as the core of research and development!

For example, plate armor needs to be verified to 'whether it can withstand the impact of cavalry, and the crackling of cavalry after charging'!

Another example is the Mo knife, which verifies 'whether it can crack the cavalry' or even 'whether it can crack the war horse born by the cavalry'!

As for the divine arm crossbow, it is also necessary to verify whether it can still ensure high accuracy and kill cavalry and war horses before the mobility of the Hun cavalry.

And all this, for today's Han family, is not a 'simulation experiment' that can be concluded·······

"Send some weapons to the Yueshi people, the Huns should be able to be provoked;"

"Uh-huh·······"

"It's best to fight in Daibei after this autumn!"

Thinking so, Liu Ying lowered her head again and crossed out the last line on the national letter that had been written.

That sentence was: The Yue clan sent an envoy to ask for the help of my Han, I couldn't bear the death of the Yue clan, and I used my armor to fight with it, hoping to be alone.

After thinking for a while, Liu Ying picked up the pen again and wrote this paragraph at the end of the national letter, under the line that was crossed out.

——Wen Shan Yu has the help of the gods, the support of the barbarians, and the grassland of the master;

Only the Yueshi was entrenched in the west of the river, and they were frightened by the fine cavalry, forcing the Han family to use soldiers and armor to deal with them.

I couldn't bear to make trouble, so I had to give in.

Today, the Yue clan has obtained the armor and soldiers of the Han family, and Yu Shan is eyeing the tiger.

I hope that I will only use troops to conquer the west, defeat the Yue clan, and eliminate the trouble of the western wall of my Han.

If the Yueshi dies, then I am willing to take grain, grass, tea and salt as a gift, and He Danyu as the master of the grassland;

And the armor blade obtained by the Yue clan, if you are happy, I can also think about it a little·······
