After the autumn harvest, three blockbuster news spread all over the world.

The first is the death of the famous Beiping Marquis Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang was Xunzi's apprentice, and he was from the same school as Li Si Han Feizi, and served the first emperor as early as the pre-Qin period.

After that, he followed Liu Bang and went through several dynasties to be the prime minister who was the head of a hundred officials.

Zhang Cang lived for more than ninety years, and there is no doubt that he is an old birthday star in this era.

His greatest achievements are the determination of the calendar, the abolition of flesh punishment, and the correction of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Of course, he also has a very famous apprentice, Jia Yi, who is called 'Qu Jia' along with Qu Yuan.

Zhang Cang's death was expected all over the world.

After all, he is already over 90 years old, and he is an old man in the period of the former Qin Shi Huang.

He once served the First Emperor, and the founding of the Han Dynasty has changed several emperors until now.

After Zhang Cang died of illness, he mourned according to the specifications, went to the number, and went through the process.

The attention of the people of the world is not very strong.

The second major event is that the current prime minister Tao Qing retired due to illness, and the Son of Heaven appointed Zhou Yafu, who had made great contributions during the crusade against the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, as the prime minister.

Here in the Han Dynasty, getting on a horse can cut people, getting off a horse can sit and talk about the Tao, and it is the standard form to enter and exit the phase.

Zhou Yafu became prime minister, but he didn't stir up any big turmoil, after all, his merits were in place enough.

And the third major event is the Xiongnu Koubian.

The Xiongnu Koubian has been happening every year, and the difference is only in the size.

However, this year's scale is particularly large.

Almost the entire Lou Fu Department was mobilized, and tribes such as the Aries Department also sent troops to attack and harass.

In the north, Shangjun, Dingxiang County and Yunzhong County are all in flames.

The main reason for the Xiongnu to enter the army this time was because during the previous rebellion of the Seven Kings, there happened to be disputes within themselves, and they did not have time to disturb the Han Dynasty.

And I didn't expect the Han army to be so able to fight, and the huge Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was put down in a few months.

Having missed the opportunity to disturb the Great Han, the angry Huns planned to find their way back.

There is another less important reason, that is, Li Yunze destroyed the Sanda Department.

The Sanda tribe was only an inconspicuous small tribe among the Xiongnu, and it was not even the direct leader of the Xian Wang, but just a vassal of the Lou Fu tribe.

But the Huns have been fighting with the Han family for many years, but this is the first tribe to be served in a pot.

The shock it caused to the Xiongnu was extraordinary, its influence and significance.

So they have to get revenge back.

Compared with the first two things, the third thing is closely related to many big Han people, especially the people of the three counties in the north.

When the news reached Lunu City, Li Yunze disappeared.

said that he disappeared, but in fact, he suddenly said that he was sick and did not see the guest.

It's just that everyone is very puzzled, as to why the king's strong body like a calf looks like he will be sick.

"Ming Gong!"

Zhang Tang eagerly pushed the door in, and said straight to Zhang Ouyan, "The king is not in the palace, he must be sending troops!" ”

Zhang Ou, who was sitting obliquely on his legs, didn't care about the air leakage under his crotch at all, shook a copy of "Han Feizi" in his hand and said with a smile, "This is the latest Han Feizi, and a full hundred copies have been printed at one time!" Those guys cried and shouted and begged, why don't you let our Legalists take the lead

。 ”

He was talking about the explosion of movable type printing in the city of Lunu, and the people of the school who had already obtained the blank paper and planned to go home like crazy demons desperately wanted to compete for the printing spot.

The benefits of printing are straightforward, and the large-scale publication of books will greatly expand the influence of this school.

Everyone understands this truth, so in order to compete for printing opportunities, there have even been many sword fights.

It is a common thing for scholars in these years to draw their swords and cut each other when they disagree.

Compared with the big heads in the Song and Ming dynasties who couldn't lift their hands and shoulders and couldn't carry them, they would play tricks, they were completely two species.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, it is naturally the Legalists who take the lead.

Because Li Yunze himself is curing this.

Although he cultivates the Tao, he can cure the Legalists.

Zhang Ou is known for his criminal name, and he is also a court lieutenant, and he is a law-abiding person himself.

Zhang Tang naturally doesn't need to say much, he is also a Legalist.

Li Yunze was the first to print a large-scale book of the Legalists, and they all greatly appreciated it.

Zhang Ou even sent people back to Chang'an City to find a way to search for the Legalist's lone book and bring it back for printing.

"Ming Gong!"

Zhang Tang, who frowned, bowed: "Ming Gong knows about this? ”

Zhang Ou finally put down "Han Feizi" in his hand, "You, you are still too young and lack experience. ”

Zhang Tang's expression suddenly turned straight, and he bowed respectfully, "Please advise Ming Gong." ”

"The day before yesterday, two thousand soldiers from the barracks outside Lunu City went north from the camp and took away all the horses in the ranch prison. Wu Gang, the lieutenant of Zhongshan Kingdom, Chang Shilang, Zhao Yan and others all went out in the name of official business and disappeared. ”

Looking at Zhang Tang, who looked serious, Zhang Ou asked with a smile, "Where did you say they went?" ”

Zhang Tang immediately responded, "When the story is done, dress up the caravan and go out of the jam again without permission!" ”

"Is there any evidence?"

'uh~~~'

Zhang Tang was stunned, the matter was obvious to the lice on the bald man's head, but he had no evidence!

Unlike Confucianism, which emphasizes consciousness and 'I think you are guilty, then you are guilty', Legalism pays attention to evidence and procedural justice.

"The soldiers and horses went north, but people said they were going to train. The lieutenant and Chang Shilang were not there, and they said that they were going to other counties on official business. Not to mention the king, if you call yourself sick, you will be sick. Do you have any evidence that they went north to get out of the jam? ”

"Can be traced out of the road"

"It's ridiculous." Zhang Ou, who was pacing back and forth, waved his sleeves: "This is Zhongshan Country!" You can chase if you want? Who do you think you are, but you have a holy decree? ”

Zhang Tang is still a little puzzled, "But the king is guilty of going out of the plug without permission"

"Great! King! Bear! Sickness! Finish! ”

Zhang Ou walked in front of Zhang Tang and told him in a serious voice, "The king, he is sick and is recuperating." Your so-called king went out without evidence, and without evidence, it is nonsense, and he will be punished. ”

Zhang Tang, who lowered his head, fell into a long silence.

After a long time, he raised his head and saluted Zhang Ou, "Thank you Ming Gong for your advice, the kid has been taught." ”

Except for the traverser, no one can really be born to know, and they must continue to learn and experience in order to grow.

Even Zhang Tang, who left his name in the history books, is no exception.

After being seriously educated by his top boss, Zhang Tang was obviously more mature and knew that many things were not as simple as black and white.

Has the king of Zhongshan been privately feudal without an edict?

In his opinion, this is almost a certain thing.

As for the evidence, it is to break directly into the palace to investigate.

But the problem was that he couldn't break into the palace to investigate. Moreover, the king of Zhongshan did not go out of the fortress to do evil, but to fight the Huns!

On the one hand, there is the law that he wants to adhere to, and on the other hand, he supports the king in reality and even in his heart.

Under this kind of contradiction, the experienced Zhang Ou taught him how to behave in the world.

The king has given the steps, and he goes down the ladder, and he is not out of the feudal country to do evil!

Li Yunze didn't go north to get out of the jam as Zhang Ou and the others thought.

Now that the Xiongnu have entered the Kou, the counties of the Northland are full of beacons and wolves, and all the passes along the Great Wall have been strictly blocked.

Don't say it's the king of Zhongshan, if there is no holy decree, the prince won't be able to get out when he comes.

After Li Yunze disguised his soldiers and horses as a caravan, he went directly to Taiyuan County by Flying Fox, and then passed through Dai County to enter Yunzhong County through Yanmen.

Yanmen Pass has not been blocked, after all, the Huns are still in the clouds, and the Dingxiang generation is raging, and it is not close to Yanmen County.

But even so, when I got out of the customs, it was a big setback.

In the end, it was Zhao Yan who took the royal decree written by Li Yunze, indicating that this caravan was sent by Zhongshan Kingdom to Yunzhong County to deliver support materials, so it was able to travel.

Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be detained.

After all, there is a war on the border now, and this caravan is so large, there are more than 1,000 young and strong people with horses, weapons, food and grass, and the defenders where they dare not let them go easily.

After leaving the Yanmen Pass, the morale of the sergeants in the team was a little low.

After all, they are all regular sergeants, and sending troops to fight at this time is like being thieves, which will of course affect morale.

This is also something that can't be helped, and the national conditions of the Han are here.

The king of the feudal kingdom took the soldiers and horses out of the feudal country privately, and to put it seriously, he wanted to rebel like Wu Regent.

Unless Li Yunze becomes the emperor one day, then he can go on the expedition as he wants.

As for how to improve the morale of soldiers in the era of cold weapons, Li Yunze has too much experience.

He immediately announced that everyone would give them two taels of money and two horses of silk.

The morale that was originally a little low immediately got up.

The army in the era of cold weapons, telling them about patriotic enthusiasm or something, is indeed somewhat useful, but it is not very useful.

As for the many soldiers who are loyal to the Son of Heaven and fight to the death for the Son of Heaven, there are so many rebellions, mutinies, mutinies, troublemakers, bombing camps, Qing Jun's side, and even directly stabbing the emperor to death in the street, etc., then you have to laugh.

Their requirements are actually very simple, only to get promoted and make a fortune.

When there is a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, the Qin army can sweep the six countries with its own strength.

The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune was cut off, and it was still the same Qin army, but it couldn't even defeat the rebel army, and even Guanzhong was lost.

Morale rose, and Li Yunze immediately ordered a change of clothes.

Put on your weapons and armor, and ride on the many horses you brought.

More than 1,000 foot soldiers soon turned into mounted infantry.

Not cavalry, just mounted infantry.

Cavalry is not so easy to train, in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the power of the whole country, spent many years and countless manpower and material resources, and only piled up a cavalry that could fight with the Huns.

The biggest advantage of mounted infantry is that it can improve the infantry's mobility to a certain extent.

Li Yunze did not leave the Yunzhong Plain, but stationed in the valley in the Barbarian Mountain with his men and horses.

The already small number of cavalry in Zhongshan was sent out to search for the Huns' camp in the cloud-filled plains.

Li Yunze was not stupid, of course, he knew that more than a thousand soldiers and horses were not enough to confront the Huns head-on, so he had an extremely clear goal from the beginning.

The old camp of the Huns.

As a nomadic tribe, the old camp of the Huns has always followed the brigade, and usually does not move far from the range of 100 miles of attacking soldiers and horses.

Even for the foot soldiers, a hundred and ten miles is not a long distance.

When the Han army won the victory against the Xiongnu, they basically touched their old camp.

The old and weak women and children in the tribe, as well as cattle, sheep and horses, were all in the old camp, and the Huns could only turn back and fight a decisive battle.

In history, the Xiongnu fought by Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and the core of their tactics was to smash the Yellow Dragon directly, specifically looking for the old camp of the Huns.

There is a ready-made experience for reference, and Li Yunze certainly has the same example.

Two days later, the cavalry sentry who went out came back to report that there was an old camp of the Huns on the bank of the Beiyunzhong River, one hundred and fifty miles northwest of Chengle!
