Yuan Xi frowned and said, "What the general said is wrong!" Our Han is a country of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, how can we compare with those barbarians? To completely solve the problem of the Huns, we should still take the way of benevolence and righteousness as the top.

Influencing the barbarians with benevolence and righteousness and making them return to the king is the way to long-term peace and stability. You need to know when the grievances will be retribution, and when will it be a head to kill like this? ”

Yan Liang's eyes widened and his face flushed, he disagreed with Yuan Xi's words very much, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it without ink in his stomach.

"What the second son said seems reasonable, but I'm afraid that I will miss a big thing." Xu You said suddenly. Everyone's eyes immediately converged on Xu You's face, and Yuan Xi's eyes showed a very unhappy look.

Xu You didn't take Yuan Xi's displeasure seriously at all, and hugged his fists at Yuan Shao and said, "Prime Minister, I think there is nothing wrong with what the fourth prince did. Do you think that for hundreds of years since the Western Han Dynasty, my Han Dynasty has less favor and benevolence for the Huns?

But what did you get in exchange? Only constant rebellion and constant killing! The Xiongnu problem has never been resolved, and the people of our dynasty are suffering from dead and wounded! This is the result of the so-called benevolence and righteousness!

Facts have proven that benevolence and righteousness are useless for these barbaric alien races of the Xiongnu! Like those evil wolves, can we use our righteousness to influence the wolves not to prey on our lambs? ……”

"Poof!" Someone laughed out loud. Yuan Xi was greatly annoyed, and immediately followed the sound, but saw many people, and he couldn't be sure who was laughing out loud.

Xu Yu continued: "The best way to deal with jackals is to completely eliminate them!" The wolves are dead, and naturally there will be no more lambs! And why bother wishfully using some benevolence to influence?

It's useless not to say, I don't know how many people of our Han Dynasty will be killed! ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" "That's it!" …… Many of those present couldn't help but echo loudly.

Xu You finally said: "So Prime Minister, I think that the fourth prince is not only without fault, but also meritorious, and should be praised!" Otherwise, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers! ”

Yan Liang said loudly: "What Xu You said is so good! That's it! ”

Yuan Shao nodded sympathetically.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "Father, no!" ……”

Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Xi unhappily, then ignored Yuan Xi, and announced in public: "After this battle, I will ask Your Majesty to canonize Mai'er as the Marquis of Zhenbei to show his merits!"

It is also necessary to let all the soldiers know that whoever fights to kill the enemy, the prime minister and the court will never treat him badly! ”

All the officers and soldiers were greatly moved, and saluted together: "The prime minister is wise! ”

Yuan Shao turned around, glanced at Yuan Xi, who had a bad face, snorted heavily, and walked straight into the big tent. Yuan Xi was terrified in his heart, and then infinite hatred surged into his heart like a volcanic eruption, hoping that the Huns would immediately cut Zhang Lang with a thousand knives.

Yuan Shao returned to the big tent, and everyone and the officer sent by Zhang Lang rushed in, and they were divided into two sides according to their superiority and inferiority.

Yuan Shao looked at the officer standing at the back of the left, smiled and asked, "Where is Mai'er now?" ”

The officer immediately clenched his fists and said: "Back to the prime minister, the general is now on Sheepshead Mountain, ready to take a short rest, and then march to Dingxiang with the army of Lord Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang." ”

Yuan Shao nodded thoughtfully.

Feng Ji came out at this time, hugged his fists at Yuan Shao and said: "Prime Minister, Zhang Yang has been defeated repeatedly before, and the morale of the army is very low.

Now that the four princes are in full swing, there are no two for a while, so it is better to let the four princes lead the elite army of the headquarters under their command, and they can also rush to Dingxiang as soon as possible to support the Dingxiang defenders! ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "What you said is reasonable. It's just that there are only a few thousand men and horses under Mai'er's command, and no matter how brave and good he is, he may not be able to fight against the 160,000 Huns! When he goes, isn't he a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ”

Feng Ji hurriedly said: "With the fourth prince alone as the forward, it is not to ask the fourth prince to go to the main battle with the Huns, but to rush to Dingxiang as soon as possible to support the Dingxiang defenders and boost the morale of the defenders!"

Although the four princes have limited troops, it is very simple to avoid the main force of the Huns and enter Dingxiang, with the ability of the four princes!

When the directional defenders saw such an elite coming, their morale must have been greatly boosted, and it would be impossible for the Huns to break through Dingxiang in a short time!

In this way, our side will have plenty of time to deploy troops and arrange calmly, although this battle is not sure to be won, but it can basically be controlled by the prime minister! ”

Yuan Shao nodded with a smile and praised: "Sir's plan is very good!" That's it! ”

Then he said to the officer: "You, immediately return to the sheep's head and upload my password, order Mai'er, don't care about publicity, and immediately rush to Dingxiang alone to support the defenders in the city to defend the city, and there must be no mistake." ”

The officer clenched his fists and retreated.

Yuan Xi looked at the back of the departing officer, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

After the meeting ended, Yuan Xi, Feng Ji, and Jiao Touch returned to Yuan Xi's tent. Jiao Fu said excitedly: "The prime minister's order is given, and the cheap seed will definitely die!" ”

Feng Ji hugged his fists towards Yuan Xi and said, "Second son, I will send someone to inform Zhao De." ”

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "I don't think this strategy is foolproof. The Black Wolf's 20,000 elite cavalry not only failed to defeat him, but was killed and almost wiped out! I'm really worried that the right virtuous king will not be able to kill his dog! ……”

Feng Ji felt that Yuan Xi's worries were not unreasonable, thought about it, and said: "In this way, the prince can pass the order to Zhao De, so that he can send a master to ambush the fourth prince to the left, waiting for the opportunity to move."

If the Huns succeeded, it would be best, if not, they should also be able to create an opportunity to assassinate, and then those masters would take the opportunity to attack. With these two killer moves, I don't believe it will kill him! ”

Yuan Xi nodded thoughtfully, and said resolutely: "That's it!" ”

On the sheep's head, Zhang Lang received Yuan Shao's order, and thought: "Dad's order is similar to what I thought. ”

Then he said to Zhang Liao and Zhang He in front of him: "Send an order to send two hundred people to transport the captured baggage and materials back to Hyun's county, and the rest of the people will gather immediately and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

The two of them hugged their fists and turned to go.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led 7,000 people to leave Yangtou and go to Shangdang along the official road, preparing to pass through Taiyuan County from Xiangyuan County north of Shangdang, through the Xiaohe River east of Taiyuan, and then cross Yanmen County to Dingxiang.

This journey is not short, according to Zhang Lang's estimate, even if he marches with all his strength, I am afraid it will take at least six days to reach Dingxiang.

Shangdang County, Hou Mansion.

After Zhang Yang listened to the report that Zhang Lang had almost completely annihilated the 20,000 Hun troops under the Black Wolf Division, he was speechless for a long time, and his eyes were full of horror and disbelief. Probably Zhang Lang's record is no different from a miracle to him.
