The Chinese have proved that relying on marriage cannot maintain the friendship between the two countries for a long time, and when the interests reach a certain level, this relationship is difficult to maintain.

What did the Han Dynasty gain from its centuries-long peace envoys?

That is, in a few years or more than ten years after each relationship, the Xiongnu will be relatively honest.

However, this kind of honesty does not mean that the two sides are harmonious, and even if they are face-to-face, there will be no conflict, but it can only be said that peace and proximity only bring a certain degree of peace, and can avoid a large-scale war between the two sides in a short period of time, while a small-scale conflict cannot be avoided.

If the Han Dynasty did not want to go to war with the Xiongnu, peace was only one of the options, in addition to the strict attention to the situation in the grassland, especially the weather conditions in winter.

Once the snow on the grassland is particularly heavy, the Han Dynasty must prepare grain and grass and wait to be sent to the rescue, otherwise, when the spring of the next year begins, the Huns will definitely wave their troops south.

Because of the massive death of their livestock due to snowstorms, it will be difficult for them to survive the next year without plundering resources through war.

In the face of survival, all relationships are not worth mentioning.

Although Wusun did not have a war with the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty also sent two princesses in succession in history, and even the later Wusun Da Kunmi was also the eldest son of Princess Xie Wu, and King Shache was the second son of Princess Xie Wu.

For Princess Xie Wu, Liu Ponu admired it in his heart, and with her efforts, she saved a lot of time and energy for the Han Dynasty to unify the Western Regions.

But so what?

After the war in the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty lost control of the Western Regions again?

Europe's intermarriage policy was quite good, but later on, it didn't complete the big brawl between cousins?

So the benefits of harmony are only in the present, what can a princess marry in the past?

The people and things she can influence are very limited, and there are only two ways to achieve the ultimate goal.

Either large-scale intermarriage, ensuring that one-third or even half of the country's population has Han blood, relying on these Han bloodlines for long-term maintenance.

Either it is a long-term pressure, and the culture can not be eliminated, but the concept is absolutely consistent, so that they can identify themselves as part of the Han Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Ponu's choice is of course the latter, the Han Dynasty's next priority is to increase the number of people, through a large number of population migration to gain development and actual control over certain areas, in this context, the Han Dynasty itself is not enough, how can it be possible to let a large number of women marry to such a place in the Western Regions?

Besides, the Han is not so down-and-out that he needs to rely on thousands of women to help him expand his territory, unless all the men are dead.

It takes a certain amount of time for the army to be deployed, and although all the ministries are ready, it takes time for so many vehicles to go out.

After returning to the barracks, Han Yannian ordered the expulsion, while hurriedly searching for all kinds of talents in his mind.

The war was not a big problem for him, but it was still very difficult for him to survey the terrain and explore the minerals, and he had to have professional people to solve them.

Han Yannian just wrote a few familiar names on the paper, and as for the rest, he directly let each department choose by himself, and then asked people to send the list and tasks to Liu Ponu, and he followed the troops to start the expedition.

……

"Your Highness, what is the new army? You can also give the old minister a little bit of the bottom, otherwise when other colleagues ask the minister, the minister doesn't know how to say it, if he says the wrong thing, won't it be a bad thing......" Huo Guang looked at Liu Ponu with an embarrassed face, and said bitterly.

Now Huo Guang's life is really uncomfortable, as Liu Ponu's father-in-law, and Shang Shuling, he can be said to be a big winner in life.

But his cautious personality made Huo Guang not as arrogant as other relatives, which led to Huo Guang's power always being only in that circle, and did not expand outward.

But everyone thinks that he is very valued by the emperor and Liu Po, and he knows more news than others.

Although Huo Guang didn't want to admit it, the fact was that when his identity was here, there would always be all kinds of people leaning up and wanting to tie up the relationship.

Of course, Huo Guang knew what they wanted to do, and Huo Guang also knew what he wanted to do.

But Huo Guang's cautious personality made Huo Guang not refuse to come, but he didn't offend everyone, so secretly Huo Guang also accepted some people's overtures.

He can only act like a person on the outside, but a person in the inner circle must be reassured.

So, it's not easy to be a big guy at all......

"There is no need to question the combat effectiveness of the new army, although he has not yet experienced actual combat, but now I can tell you very responsibly that today, no army can compete with the new army!" Liu Ponu said unceremoniously.

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

"Your Highness, this ......" Huo Guang looked at Liu Ponu with a look of embarrassment, and continued: "Although the minister is willing to believe it, this ......"

"Then you just know these words!" Liu Ponu smiled slightly, of course he could see what Huo Guang was having, but he didn't care.

Your relative is very important, so important that at some point, he can be your biggest help.

It can also be your biggest obstacle at some point.

Huo Guang in history must have had a lot of careful thoughts, but people will change.

And Huo Guang's change lies after Liu Che's death!

Facing the little emperor Liu Fuling, who was only eight years old, all the military and political power was in the hands of the four important ministers.

Kim Il-pan died the year after Liu Che's death, so there is no need to mention it.

Shangguan Ji is Huo Guang's in-laws, well, not now......

Sang Hongyang has a bit of temper and ability, but under Huo Guang's years of operation, he still easily killed Sang Hongyang.

Two of the four orphans died, and the remaining two were together, plus after Liu Fuling died, because he had no children, the task of choosing a new emperor fell on Huo Guang, under the temptation of such power, it is difficult to imagine that a person can keep his heart.

Therefore, Liu Ponu can't look at the current Huo Guang with the known Huo Guang in history, at least at this stage, Huo Guang is still a reserved business, and there is no person with crooked thoughts.

As for Huo Guang's wife, this Liu Ponu has also understood, she is not surnamed Huo, nor is she called Huo Xian.

It doesn't matter if it's Huo Xian, your daughter is already the crown princess, what else do you want?

"The biggest drawback of the new army lies in the two parts of short-handed combat and individual combat, although the flintlock pistol has strong firepower and strong lethality, but it cannot do continuous shooting, in order to solve this problem, the new army has adopted the method of rotating shooting to ensure the continuity of firepower, and the well-trained soldiers stand in several rows, which can basically ensure that one shot after another, and there will not be more than one breath of space in the middle."

"The problem of short-hand combat is that the new army has also specially arranged infantry to supplement, plus the truck itself is a good cover, even if the enemy rushes in front of the truck, it is very difficult to avoid the attack of the gunmen and climb up for short-range combat, plus a hand-thrown explosives to supplement the intensity of fire at close range, and throw shells to increase the intensity of long-range firepower."

"In this configuration, there are only two ways to defeat the new army!" Liu Ponu stretched out two fingers very pretendedly, looked at Huo Guang with a smug face, and continued:

"Either let the troops fight alone, unable to form a scale, as long as they are left in a situation where they are fighting on their own, the new army will definitely be defeated. And in order to cope with this problem, the new army has a limit on the number of people who can fight, the minimum number of people in a single unit is five hundred, and the minimum unit in a single mission is two thousand! ”

"At this scale, it is completely enough to put it in that place in the Western Regions!"

"And the other way is close combat, but the new army makes up for the intensity of fire at medium and close ranges, and if you want to break through the fire blockade of the new army and come over for close combat, you have to be ten times the enemy of your own to do it, but then again, the larger the corps fighting, the greater the advantage of the new army."

"To deal with a new army of 500 people, it may take 5,000 cavalry to defeat it, but against a new army of 20,000 people, without the continuous impact of 300,000 cavalry, there is basically no need to think about it!"

'Hiss......'

Listening to Liu Ponu's explanation, Huo Guang couldn't help but gasp, although he was a little reluctant to believe it.

On the other hand, Liu Ponu is a lot more determined, believe it or not, that's your business, anyway, the new army is so awesome.

Although there are many shortcomings of flintlock guns, but that is compared with the rear-loading guns with fixed ammunition, when the scale reaches a certain number, then all the problems will be solved, one firepower is not enough, then use ten to solve it.

There are some things that Liu Ponu is too lazy to say, and he can't explain them all, and when Han Yannian plays experience and results in the Western Regions, he doesn't need to say anything, and everyone can understand how strong the new army is.

But Huo Guang still has to explain more or less here, after all, he is just one person, and there are so many things in the whole country, and he can't be busy himself.

Of course, whether Liu Ponu blows it or the real situation, people are talking about it so much, if Huo Guang doesn't say anything at all, then it is a little inappropriate.

And this is also one of Huo Guang's intentions.

"Your Highness, although the combat effectiveness of the new army is strong, and the mobility ability is also very strong, but the teleportation is a little unsatisfactory, if you simply rely on the new army, I am afraid this battle will not be too easy to fight, maybe the enemy in front will not know and will bump into it, if you take the new army in circles, you will not be able to draw it."

"The army of the Marquis of Xun Ye is now near Dunhuang, and the minister thinks that it is better to let the Marquis of Xun Ye take the army to assist the new army to fight, and when the time comes, he will directly lead the enemy to the front of the new army, wouldn't it also save the time of the new army looking for the enemy?"

"Besides, if this enemy can't defeat the new army, when he turns around and wants to run, the cavalry will still be of great use......"
