Walking out of the Pingyang Hou Mansion with a sad expression, Liu Ying only sighed for a while.

Liu Yingxin was ugly in August of the sixth year, and Pingyang Hou Cao Shen died.

Another one went;

——The founding hero left by Emperor Taizu Gao has gone another ······

Over the years, Liu Ying and Cao Shen have actually gotten along quite well.

Unlike in the previous life, when Liu Ying sprayed Liu Ying with 'vertical arch and rule the Holy Son of Heaven' at every turn, Cao Shen in this life almost completely implemented what it means to be a real 'rule by inaction'.

From the eleventh year of Emperor Taizu Gao, when Xiao He began to lie on the couch, until today, it has been seven years;

Almost the entire process from Liu Ying sitting firmly on the throne of the prince, to succeeding to the emperor, to sitting on the throne, and then crowning the pro-government, is guaranteed by Cao Shen's entire tenure.

And Cao Shen did not live up to the trust of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, and perfectly assumed the historical role of 'the slippery agent between the Lu family and the new monarch, and the implementer of the previous Xiao He's policy'.

Seven years, for Liu Ying and the Han family, it was only seven years to lay the foundation for the road to China's prosperity;

But for Cao Shen, these seven years are Cao Shen's entire tenure as prime minister······

"Alas······"

"How nice it would be to have a few more Xiao He and Cao Shen······"

With a sad expression, Liu Ying couldn't help but turn around, listening to the bursts of mourning coming from the Hou Mansion in Pingyang, and looking at the beige filial piety hanging inside and outside the Hou Mansion.

"Edict;"

"——Pingyang Hou Shen, meritorious to the community, for seven years, the world is governed by Qingming, and the people live and work in peace and contentment;"

"Pingyang Marquis, I am very sad."

"The edict gave Pingyang Hou Shen a golden jade clothes, a yellow intestine inscription, two stomachs, two bows, two swords and halberds, and five dark lamps, and allowed to be buried by the princes."

"There are thousands of stones in the court, the marquis of Jueguan and the above, and they will be dressed with the mourning after seven days."

"In addition, Fengchang, Zongzheng and the ministers will discuss the merits of the life of the Marquis of Pingyang, choose a good one, and conclude the ······ with the coffin"

Shen Sheng gave an order, turned around and took a deep look at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion behind him, Liu Ying finally sighed again, and boarded the imperial chariot back to the palace.

- Liu Ying, very young;

And it's a bit too young.

Now the young son of heaven, who is only in his early twenties, sent away the two prime ministers before and after.

Liu Ying knew in her heart that in the future, similar scenes would be staged many times;

The young son of heaven, who is only twenty-one years old, will send away at least three or more prime ministers.

But Liu Ying didn't have time to grieve.

For the ambition in my heart, for the entrustment of the emperor, for the world, for the Chinese ······

At the very least, for the sake of these old men who have done their best and died, Liu Ying, is not allowed to force himself to be strong.

Because in this world, there are still many problems waiting for Liu Ying to solve; There are countless people, waiting for Liu Ying to feed herself;

Of course, there are also countless enemies, lurking in all directions, secretly waiting for an opportunity.

As the Son of Heaven, Liu Ying must be in the spirit of 120,000 points······

·

"Please tell me a little bit about this."

August 15, Shuowang Dynasty.

The Chang'an court secretary team, which has completed sufficiently, is all absent from this Shuowang Dynasty.

- The tomb of the Marquis of Anguo, the right prime minister!

- Zuo Prime Minister Qu reverses Hou Chen Ping!

- Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, the imperial historian!

This is the Three Princes;

As for Jiuqing, there are also a lot of changes.

Internal History: The Late Anhou Shen Tujia;

Shaofu: Wuhou Yangchengyan;

Wei Wei: Qu Zhou Hou Shizi Liji;

Servant: Marquis of Ruyin, Xiahou Ying;

Zongzheng: Liu Yingke, the prince of Chu;

Pawn: Biyang Hou judged and ate it;

Lang Zhongling: Qu Cheng Hou Wormda;

Tingwei: Tangyi Marquis Chen Ying;

Fengchang: Yangdu Hou Dingfu.

And in this 'new issue' list of ministers, the most dazzling thing is undoubtedly a resolute face that has been away from the Chang'an court for a long time.

- Tai Lieutenant, Xinwu Marquis Jin She!

For this appointment, there are different opinions inside and outside the government and the opposition;

Some people say that the original plan was to reinstate the Marquis Zhou Boguan, but Liu Ying, the son of heaven, explicitly refused;

It is also said that Liu Ying, the son of heaven, originally planned to make Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, a lieutenant, but was vetoed by the Empress Dowager of the East Palace.

But what Mu Yong doubted was that the appointment of the reinstated lieutenant revealed Liu Ying's political intentions unreservedly in front of the courtiers and officials.

- War!

In the future that is visible to the naked eye, the Han family, there will be a war that requires the commander of the army!

As Jin She's figure appeared in the public secretary train, the snorts of the courtiers and officials in the palace gradually became a little heavy.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly pressing the sound of passion in his chest, Liu Ying's ears were endless.

And after the freshly baked right prime minister, or 'prime minister' Wang Ling, walked out of the train and bowed respectfully to Liu Ying, the huge Xuanshu Hall was quiet again.

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty, my Han family has had two troubles;"

"—One of them said: Princes with different surnames;"

"The second said: Northern Barbarian Huns."

"The former, as early as the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, was eradicated by Emperor Taizu Gao, leaving only the Northern Barbarian Xiongnu to invade the border at the age of the year, and to invade the army and people on the border wall with rangers."

"Since the battle of Emperor Taizu Gao Pingcheng, the elite of the Han family has been frustrated and the chariot is weak, and the court has already made a conclusion: when the country is not strong, the people are rich, and the soldiers are strong, the soldiers must not fight with the Northern Barbarians!"

"However, since Emperor Taizu Gao, the Han Dynasty has been in the country for nearly 20 years, except for Yan and Dai two kingdoms on the north wall, Duyunzhong, Beidi, and other counties, there are Han soldiers who died in the north wall, which is 21,631;"

"The war dead."

"The wounded and disabled officers of the other army, or the crippled and dead people of the border wall, and the people who were taken captive as herdsmen by the northern barbarians, are so many that they do not count······"

The opening remarks of today's meeting were filled with a deep voice, and after briefly summarizing the 'history of exchanges between the Han and Hungarians', I saw Wang Ling slowly turning around and facing the hundred officials and courtiers in the hall next to the imperial steps.

Almost at the moment when Wang Ling turned around, hundreds of officials and ministers of the Han family in the hall were all full of fighting intent on their faces!

"The strength of the Han Dynasty is enough to support the people and secure the people, but it is not enough to fight Hu;"

"However, there is a lonely hangover in the clouds, there has been no county guard for a long time, the generals in the clouds have no leader, and there is no foreign aid for hundreds of miles around."

"In the spring of March, the Xiongnu sent an envoy to use the Han Dynasty to set up Anton, and wanted to blackmail and extort the truth, but His Majesty refused."

"Therefore, Your Majesty discussed with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and they all thought: After the autumn of this year, Hu Bi will attack the clouds with tens of thousands of light horses."

Speaking of this with a grim expression, he saw Wang Ling stop talking for a while, and immediately looked at the Taiwei Jin Shu beside him.

"It's the middle of August in autumn, the time of the autumn harvest;"

"According to the usual practice, whenever the Han people harvest, they will reorganize their armies for war; As soon as the autumn harvest was over, Hu immediately went south, galloped across the Han border, and then left. ”

"Therefore, now Your Majesty has set up another lieutenant, but he wants to set up two new soldiers, each of whom says: Captain Yulin and Captain Huben."

"The captains of the two divisions of Yulin and Huben are all made by the orphans and heirs of the dead king, and each of them is 5,000;"

"—The Feather Forester, the Bow and Crossbow; The tiger is also a sword. ”

"In every battle, the captains of these two departments echo before and after, the tiger is in the front, the feather forest is in the back, and then supplemented by shields and halberds to protect them."

"Now the two armies have been close to the ministers, according to the edict of His Majesty, with the transfer of troops from the two armies, and the Taiwei Xinwu Marquis Jin She; Set off in a few days, and rush to the south of the clouds for a hundred miles, in order to prepare for war! ”

said these words very solemnly, and saw Wang Ling turn sideways slightly and look at Liu Ying on the royal steps;

Liu Ying, who had already prepared, only turned his head slightly, and then there were two jade tiger talismans with a transparent body, which were held down by the eunuch Ling Chuntuo, and his hands were placed in front of Jin She.

And behind Jin She, looking at the courtiers and officials who were sealed by Jin She, they couldn't help but have a little dazed look on their faces.

- Captain Yulin is composed of bows and crossbows, which everyone can understand;

But what does this Tiger Lieutenant actually use, 'Armor Knife'?

What is Armor Knife?

Haven't you heard of it?!

In the past, whether it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for thousands of years, or the Ying Qin Dynasty in the past hundred years, or even the Liu Han Dynasty today, the army and arms were nothing more than a few categories such as chariots, giant shields, halberds, bows and crossbows;

To put it bluntly, there are those who use shields to resist damage, and those who use halberds and spears to poke the enemy;

There are those who shoot the enemy with bows and crossbows, and there are those who charge into battle in chariots and disturb the local formation.

If you have to say that in the past few decades, there have been any 'new troops' that have never appeared, that is, the cavalry of the Huns, and the 'sword and shield' that appeared at the end of the Warring States period.

That is, slashing and stabbing with a sword in one hand, and protecting their heavy infantry with a shield in the other.

That's all!

How can there be a 'knife'?

What do you mean?

Put on a piece of armor, take a bronze sword, and go up to see people?

- Isn't this a shield like a sword shield······

If you have to say that this armor knife is different from the sword and shield of the past, that is, the literal shield, which has been replaced by the literal armor;

To put it more bluntly, compared with the sword and shield, this 'armor knife' has a small round shield and more armor······

"This?"

seemed to see the doubts in the hearts of the courtiers and officials, and Liu Ying's serious face finally slowly emerged with a little pride;

But Liu Ying didn't hurry to speak, but let Wang Ling finish his words.

Seeing that Jin She had received the seal, and bowed to Liu Ying respectfully, saying that he would 'never live up to His Majesty's trust', Wang Ling took a step forward with a calm face and came to Jin She.

"Marquis Xinwu, the founding minister, in the military array, can be described as the most in the dynasty!"

"However, in this battle, the Marquis of Xinwu should be cautious and cautious, and he must not act rashly!"

"——Hu Ruolai, surrounded by the clouds, then the captain came to the rescue; If Hu doesn't come, or if he comes to the clouds and doesn't surround it, he gallops back and sweeps the side wall, and Taiwei can't fight with Yulin and Huben! ”

"The other Flying Fox Captain has also received His Majesty's edict, but if the Captain has a call, the Flying Fox will respond."

"Beidi, Longyou and other counties with the north wall, as well as the two kingdoms of Yan and Dai, can also be dispatched by Taiwei to prepare for Hu."

"And the key ······ of this battle"

In the end, Wang Ling only turned his head with a strange face, still looking at Liu Ying on the imperial steps in disbelief;

But Liu Ying smiled and nodded slowly, Wang Ling forced himself to press the twitching corners of his mouth, and then looked at the Taiwei Jin She in front of him with an extremely solemn expression.

"——Your Majesty's will: The key to this battle is to kill Hu first!"

"In the event of a war, the Taiwei does not have to worry about the loss of a city or a place, but if Hu Wu has a large-scale invasion, he can move freely on the first line of the north wall;"

"The captain needs to be careful with reporters, there are only three things."

"One of them: fighting with Hu, so that the soldiers under his command are rarely injured or killed, and it is important to kill more people in Hu!"

"The two: if there is a Hu surrender, it must not be killed, injured, beaten, or abused, but can only be restrained and sent back to Chang'an."

"The three: Yu Hu did not fight, especially the women and children who had no blades, and they should be treated preferentially;"

"Even if there is a need for war, and those who are released and surrendered, they should also be told to them: those who see the Han soldiers and do not surrender should be killed; Whoever descends, accepts it; I am willing to help the Han to ask for Hu, Your Majesty will personally appreciate it! ”

Listening to Wang Ling's murderous paragraph, and faintly with a little Huairou policy explanation, Jin She only listened carefully to every word, and repeated one side in his heart, and Wang Ling and Liu Ying, who were separated, gave their hands respectively.

In the hall, the courtiers and officials were already stunned.

- Go deep and kill more!

Such a naked violent order instructing the army to 'kill if you can't let it go' is the first time it has appeared in the Han court!

But the crowd didn't react much to this.

Although in this era, there is no technical term for 'striving to strike at the enemy's living forces', similar examples of warfare were not uncommon in the past thousands of years.

There is no need to say anything else: Qin and Zhao Changping fought a battle, and the killing god Bai Qi killed Zhao Guo by 400,000 in one fell swoop, directly killing a whole generation of young people of Zhao Guo, and completely interrupting Zhao Guo's crest!

It was also from the beginning of the First Battle of Changping that the Zhao State, which was once strong because of King Zhao Wuling and dominated the Central Plains for a while, has also collapsed since then, and is no longer as strong as it was back then.

So to put it bluntly, Liu Ying's sentence 'going deep and killing more' can actually be understood as: If you have the opportunity, ask Taiwei to be Wu Anjun once.

It's just that compared to killing the god Bai Qipit and killing Zhao Zu, which provoked the world's shocking public opinion, Liu Ying ordered the Huns to 'go deep and kill more', but it did not cause any public opinion.

The reason is very simple: in this generation, the word 'Xiongnu' is followed by 'people'.

The saying 'Huns' is more of an anthropomorphic rhetorical device;

For every Han person in the Han world, there is only one kind of person in the world.

- Han Chinese.

In other words, in this era, 'not Han people' can be equated with 'not people'.

As for the Xiongnu, a group of 'people and non-humans', today's Han family does not have a similar organization such as the Animal Protection Association.

What really puzzled everyone was: Liu Ying's follow-up series of Huairou policies seemed to have been determined that the Han family would achieve an unprecedented comprehensive victory in this battle?

Could it be ······

"Xu is related to the 'Armor Knife' Tiger Ben?"

Seeing that the doubts on everyone's faces became more and more intense, Liu Ying finally stood up slowly and stepped forward with his hands in his hands.

"The soldier of the tiger armor knife is the drill of my own order;"

"—the armor, the plate armor, the scale armor;"

"-Knife man, Mo Dao also!"

Daoming, whose face did not change, was very powerful, and deliberately stopped;

When the expressions on the faces of the courtiers and officials became more and more exciting, Liu Yingcai finally turned his head sideways with a smile and looked at Wang Ling, who was also surprised.

"That is, the ministers and hundreds of officials intend to watch it in person, so it is convenient for today, so that the two armies of Huben and Yulin will perform in Xiying."

As he spoke, Liu Ying smiled lightly and moved her gaze to Jin She beside Wang Ling.

"It's good that the captain is familiar with Yulin and Huben, and when he fights, he can command ······ like an arm."
