Time flies, time flies.

The grass on the grassland has changed one stubble after another, and the farmland of Dahan has also been harvested year after year.

Time has come to the eighteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and the generation that Li Yunze is looking forward to has finally gradually grown up.

In Kamibayashi Garden, inside Nagato Palace, a grand banquet is being held in the open air.

The so-called Nagato Palace is actually just a private garden.

Originally, it was built by the princess of the pavilion Tao for her third son Dong Yan and used for a tryst.

After the fall of Princess Guantao that year, people related to her were naturally unlucky.

San'er Dong Yan even lost his life, so naturally he couldn't keep this garden, and was taken away by Shaofu and became a royal garden.

Later, almost all parts of Shanglin Yuan were assigned to the horse breeding superintendent, as well as the training of the Yulin Army, and most of the garden palaces were demolished, except for this one place.

People in the world don't know the intentions of the Son of Heaven, and they all think that the Son of Heaven cares about family affection, so as to miss the former princess of the pavilion.

But only Li Yunze himself knows that this is just a kind of remembrance.

At this time, the pennant outside the Nagato Palace was displayed, and the gongs and drums were noisy.

Many young knights galloped on their horses, and the arrows in their hands fluttered like a frightening dragon, constantly hitting the target.

Whenever there is a hit heart, the surrounding Yulin guards will cheer loudly, and the scene is very enthusiastic.

Li Yunze, who was sitting on a horse in light armor, swept his gaze over the many young people who were competing in the distance, and finally landed on the sulking figure who failed to get the first place in riding and shooting.

Retracting his gaze, Li Yunze beckoned to Wei Qing who was not far away.

Wei Qing moved over and squatted aside, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Yunze motioned to the young man over there, Wei Qing looked at it and said with a smile, "This kid has always been so hot-tempered, and he lost to Li Ling because he wanted to show his face and have a series of arrows."

"I deliberately ordered Huo to get sick and lead the troops out of the fortress."

Li Yunze's words made Wei Qingleng stunned, "Huh? ”

He looked at Li Yunze in a daze, until he was sure that Li Yunze was not joking, and then he said in surprise, "Your Majesty, Huo Qu's illness will only be sixteen next month." ”

"Hmm." Li Yunze nodded: "Then wait for his birthday next month before sending troops." ”

Wei Qing'(o ゚▽ ゚)'

He was finally sure that the Son of Heaven was not joking with him, it was true!

It stands to reason that at this time, it should echo the words of the Son of Heaven and avoid offending the Son of Heaven and his nephew at the same time.

But with a strong sense of responsibility, Wei Qing couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Huo Qubing is too young, and he has never had the experience of leading troops in battle, so I am afraid that something is wrong with rashly ordering him to lead his troops into battle." ”

This is human nature, a teenager with a large army to fight a fierce enemy in a distance, this kind of thing is naturally unreliable no matter how you look at it.

But the problem is that he is sick.

After a thousand years, the brightest star among the countless generals must be Huo Quai.

Others don't know about this, but Li Yunze knows, but he just doesn't say it.

"You'll talk to him later."

Li Yunze patted Wei Qing on the shoulder, "Let him be mentally prepared first." ”

Wei Qing wanted to persuade again, but in the end, he could only nod his head.

After getting up, he walked towards Huo Quai, who was still angry, with a complicated expression.

Seeing Wei Qing leaving, the prime minister's father, who was not far away, stepped forward and came to Li Yunze's side.

Looking at the lord father who looked obviously a little haggard, Li Yunze kindly instructed, "The prime minister should take care of his body more." ”

The master who works at least six or seven hours a day, and is basically almost all year round, can only smile bitterly when he hears the words, and then salutes and squats down to report, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”

"Say."

"There is a woman in Shencheng, Huiji County, who left the child of Kunlun Nu."

Li Yunze, who was watching Huo Qu's reaction, immediately looked sideways after hearing the words.

For a moment, the master father dared to swear that he had never been so frightened in his life, and had never seen such a terrible look in his eyes.

"What did you say?"

Huiji County, there is a woman in Shencheng, and the child of Kunlun Nu has been left behind."

After confirming the matter, Li Yunze, who had a black face, asked again, "Didn't you say that the Kunlun slaves sent have all been disposed of?" ”

Dahan has a large population, but it lacks high-risk laborers in life-filling industries.

Li Yunze was reluctant to use the people of the Han Dynasty to fill in, so he gave birth to the matter of collecting Kunlun slaves to do things.

In order to avoid accidents, he arranged early that all the Kunlun slaves sent to them should be disposed of accordingly before they set foot on the land of the Han Dynasty, which is simply castration.

"This." The master father explained in a low voice, "It is said that there is a batch of temporary stoppers, and they were sent to the ship before they had time to dispose of it, and they will be arranged after they arrive." ”

At this time, this kind of transportation of Kunlun slaves has a complete process, first buy the local chiefs, and those chiefs will arrest people, and the Han is only responsible for transportation.

The disposal is also done in advance at the local chief's office, because it takes time to cultivate, usually several months.

As time went on, the local chiefs were able to catch fewer and fewer people, but the demand increased.

The end result is that things that should have been strictly observed gradually began to relax, resulting in a lot of things that were not disposed of being sent over.

"Was it forced, or was it voluntary?"

"That woman's husband served in the army, and he couldn't bear the loneliness, so he coughed with Kunlun Nu, who planted mulberry hemp."

Li Yunze exhaled turbid breath and asked lightly, "What does the Criminal Department say?" ”

"The meaning of the criminal department, according to local customs, women are immersed in cages, and Kunlun slaves are beheaded."

Li Yunze's gaze looked over again, "And then?" That's gone? ”

Li Yunze's gaze looked over again, "And then?" That's gone? ”

The master father didn't dare to meet his gaze, and asked cautiously, "I don't know what else Your Majesty commands?" ”

Li Yunze got up suddenly, raised his legs and kicked the table full of wine and food in front of him and flew out.

He was originally the focus of the audience, but when this scene came out, the noise around him suddenly fell silent for three points.

Even Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who were walking over, paused in surprise.

Everyone was very curious, what did the prime minister say to the Son of Heaven, and he actually made the Son of Heaven so angry.

"Li Danghu is the governor of the navy, so he is naturally responsible for this matter. He was dismissed from the post of governor of the navy army, removed all his titles and food, and was assigned to make meritorious contributions in the army. Find out who led the fleet? ”

The head of the master father Yan was about to be lowered to the ground, "It is the commander of Jiaozhi County who is Yao, and the fleet led by Li Kang, the general of the Hengjiang River of the Navy." ”

"Remove him from the rank of general, the post of county guard. Remove all the titles and eats, and distribute the army to make meritorious contributions. ”

Li Yunze, who was standing with his back to his back, directly began to make arrangements, "The people involved in this matter, especially those responsible for inspection and supervision, will all be dealt with severely, and the person directly responsible will be beheaded." ”

"Order Gongsun to be the acting governor of the navy, and take the fleet to the chieftain tribe, Pingzhi!"

After that, Li Yunze glared at the master father and said in a hateful voice, "But whoever is involved in this matter, don't let anyone go!" ”

It wasn't until Li Yunze left that the surroundings recovered from the silence.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the Son of Heaven was so angry.

Facing the gazes of everyone, the expressionless master father Yan didn't want to explain, and simply walked away to do something.

He also has a belly full of anger, and now he needs to vent it to the unlucky person.

Wei Qing led Huo Qubing to the Changmen Palace and saluted Li Yunze, who was still sulking.

After cleaning up his mood, Li Yunze beckoned Huo Qu to come forward and simply asked, "I intend to order you to lead the troops out of the fortress to fight the Huns, are you willing?" ”

"Naturally, I am willing."

The young Huo Quzhi raised his chin high, and his expression was resolute, "If you don't break the Huns, you won't pay it back!" ”

Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned Wei Qing, who was worried on the side, "Bring the map of Hexi." ”

The map was hung up, Li Yunze stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and drew a circle on the map to the west of the river, "Your goal this time is to eliminate the Hun Evil King and the Hun Tu King and other troops under the command of the Xiongnu Youxian King who are entrenched here." Take this land back to the Han. ”

The so-called Hexi Land refers to the area around the Hexi Corridor and the Huangshui Basin.

The topography is dominated by a narrow strip of land running east-west, and because it is located west of the Yellow River, it is called the land west of the river.

The most famous places here are Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Yumen Pass, etc., which are all in this place, which is the only way to the Western Regions.

The very important reason for hitting here first is that it is very close to Guanzhong, and it is out of Longxi County.

As long as you fight all the way along the Qilian Mountain in the east-west direction, you can fight until you reach Yumen Pass.

Of course, at this time, there was no Yumen Pass, and Li Yunze planned to set up the Yumen Pass after taking the Hexi Corridor, and the exit here was Dunhuang in the Western Regions.

Huo Quzhi looked at the map, saluted Li Yunze, and said, "How many soldiers and horses can Your Majesty give?" ”

Faced with the inquiry, Li Yunze also smiled and asked, "How much do you want?" ”

"Of course, the more the merrier."

After all, he also graduated from the martial arts hall, so he naturally knew that Han Xin was ordering soldiers, and the more the better.

Everyone knows the saying that there is great power in numbers.

Li Yunze also smiled, "Then I ask you, how many soldiers and horses do you think can go down to the west of the river?" ”

That's the question before the battle.

In later generations, those emperors who were better than the hands of women in the deep palace naturally did not understand these things, and taught everything to the generals who led the troops to do it themselves.

What's even more terrifying is to use literature to control martial arts, and let civil servants who are as illiterate as martial arts go to war.

In this case, it is the problem to be able to win.

Either the enemy is too bad, or it's just a burst of luck.

Wei Qing looked at Huo Quzhi a little nervously, worried about what his eldest nephew would say.

If he said that as long as a few thousand elites could recover the land west of the river, then Wei Qing would fight everything, and he would have to prevent Huo Qubing from sending troops as a general.

Huo Qu was sick and Kai Kai said, "It depends on whether Your Majesty wants only the land, or the Xiongnu tribe here will be severely damaged." ”

"How?" Li Yunze simply sat down, and also motioned for the two to sit down and talk together.

"If it's just to seize land, 10,000 elites are enough to subdue most tribes and take Hexi. If you want to focus on attacking the Huns, you need at least 30,000 horsemen. ”

Li Yunze didn't respond, but continued to ask, "How are you going to fight?" ”

"As long as the cavalry is quick to maneuver and attack, do not give the Huns time to react."

"Avoid the tribes of the Xiongnu along the way, go straight to the royal court of their departments, and capture the thief and capture the king first."

This is the blitzkrieg plus roundabout flank tactics, which requires a high level of national strength.

After all, the cost of feeding a large elite cavalry is very huge.

Li Yunze asked again: "How to guarantee logistics materials?" ”

"One person, five horses, bring as many as you can. When you encounter the Hun tribe on the road, you will eat the enemy! ”

Li Yunze finally smiled.

After laughing for a while, his expression became serious, "Huo Quai." ”

"The minister is here!"

"You are General Yao, select 40,000 elite cavalry among the three armies, and send troops to Hexi next month!"

"Wow!!"
