"The Qiang clan and the Dayue clan colluded to loot the property of our new dynasty and kill the people of our new dynasty. I want to conquer the Dayue clan and the Qiang clan, what do the ministers think? ”

In the court, Wang Mang looked around at the ministers.

"The Qiang people are vassals of our new dynasty, and the crime of colluding with the Dayue clan is unforgivable. The Dayue clan killed my people and robbed me of my property, and the ministers asked to go out to fight. Su Yan said indignantly.

The rest of the ministers were also angry, eager to pull out the bones of the Dayue clan and the Qiang clan.

In fact, they didn't have such resentment towards the Dayue clan and the Qiang clan.

A sheep was lost on the frontier of the new dynasty, and I don't know why it reached the ears of the emperor, so it became the Dayue clan to loot the property of the new dynasty.

In the border land, there are some horse bandits who are helpless, and the imperial court has no time to deal with some scabies.

Those horse bandits didn't stick to one place, and went to the Otsutsuki clan to loot the goods.

It's just that they underestimated the strength of the Otsuki clan and were directly killed.

Speaking of which, the Dayue clan did a good thing for the new dynasty, helped the new dynasty exterminate the horse bandits, and they also specially sent envoys to the new dynasty to ask for merit.

But when the emperor heard this, he was furious.

Your little Dayue clan dared to kill the people of my new dynasty, and you dared to send envoys to the new dynasty to show off your might, this is to deceive my new dynasty, no one can succeed?

So there was this court meeting, and the emperor wanted to send troops on an expedition.

It was not without opposition, but those people went home to recuperate, after all, their emperor could not hear opposition in his ears.

"I appointed Su Chen as the general of the expedition to the west, as the commander of the expedition to the west, and Liu Xiu, the executive of Jinwu, as the deputy marshal. Led an army of 100,000 to conquer the Dayue clan and the Qiang clan. Wang Mang announced the appointment.

"Your Majesty, Su Chen has never participated in a single battle, is it a bit inappropriate to serve as the commander of the 100,000 army in the first battle."

At this time, only Su Yan dared to stand up and put forward a different opinion.

"Su Chen is the descendant of the long-lived marquis, and he has studied the art of war through the past and the present, and there is no problem in serving as the commander of one party." Wang Mang said calmly.

Besides, isn't there Liu Xiu as the deputy marshal?

This was not a decision made by himself, it was his teacher who entered the palace at night and told him that he wanted to be a commander and contribute to the new dynasty.

He naturally knew that his teacher's contribution to the new dynasty was fake, and he wanted to experience the truth of leading soldiers.

But what can he do as a student who respects his teacher, of course, he agreed to the teacher's request, anyway, he still recognizes his teacher's ability.

The longevity of the marquis has a rich collection of books, and those military books are collected by the teacher alone.

The teacher is a person who loves military books so much, and he must not read them less in ordinary times, and some of the art of war must be at his fingertips.

After all, people live too long.

Even if the teacher's art of war is not very good, he is the existence of destroying the army by himself, and he can destroy thousands of troops by himself.

"I've decided, you don't have to say more."

The new dynasty is Wang Mang's word, and no one can change the things he decides.

"Chief, the new dynasty has sent a large army to attack us."

In the camp tent of the Qiang people, several big men were noisy.

"My Qiang tribe was a subordinate of the Han Dynasty before, and immediately after the establishment of the new dynasty, I bowed down to the new dynasty. We are bent on surrendering, why does the new dynasty still attack us? ”

The leader of the Qiang clan slammed his fist on the table.

God is pitiful, their Qiang people have always been the little brother of the Central Plains.

I thought that the leader was still the son-in-law of the Central Plains, and he had a close relationship with the Central Plains.

In his generation, he also actively sought to become the son-in-law of the new dynasty, and gave a lot of cattle, sheep and leather.

But the daughter of the Central Plains did not wait, what she was waiting for was the sword soldiers of the Central Plains.

"The new dynasty seems to say that my Qiang clan and the Dayue clan colluded to kill the people of the new dynasty." One of the weaker men in the crowd said.

"Killing the people of the new dynasty? Is there such a thing in the clan? The leader of the Qiang tribe stared at the people in the tent with hungry wolf-like eyes.

"Chief, how can we kill the people of the new dynasty. That one of the Central Plains people came to our Qiang people, we didn't treat them as VIPs! ”

"Then why does the new dynasty still want to ask us?"

"I think the new dynasty is a hungry wolf that can't be fed, and when they see the Year of the Ox leather we offered before, they want more!"

"At the moment, we are still gathering our Qiang people's sons and daughters, and it is necessary to rebel against the new dynasty, so that the Central Plains people know that our Qiang people are not easy to mess with."

……

"Brother Su Chen, ahead is a large tribe of the Qiang tribe."

Su Chen and Liu Xiu personally led the vanguard army to investigate the situation.

"They must have sensed the movement of the army and built fortifications around the tribe." Su Chen looked at the tribe in front of him with some amusement.

The Qiang people have been learning things from the Central Plains, but they didn't expect to even learn fortifications for him.

It's just that you are a nomad, what is the matter with giving up the benefits of cavalry to consolidate the tribe?

Isn't this using their weaknesses to cope with their strengths?

"Brother Su Chen, we have brought a lot of trebuchets in our army, and we can destroy their fortifications directly with trebuchets." Liu Xiu looked at the simple fortifications in front of him and said.

In Xiu'er's eyes, the Qiang fortifications were broken with a single blow.

"It's okay to set fire, just set fire to the original to force the Qiang people to come out of it, and then shoot their living force with arrows."

Xiu'er came up with another plan.

"Uncle Wen, you're right." Su Chen looked at the tribe in front of him nonchalantly.

Xiu'er said it very well, but she just didn't use his schemes.

"Our longevity is the most proficient in the method, why don't you let me do it to directly destroy the Qiang tribe in front of you?" Su Chen said.

"How?" Xiu'er looked at Su Chen in disbelief.

They're here to lead troops to fight, and you suddenly say you're going to give me a recipe?

This is war, not child's play. Liu Xiu's facial expression was a little out of control, although he had seen some incredible things such as 'Outer Stones' and 'Heavy Rain'.

But he, Liu Xiu, is still a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and his 'methods' and everything are fake.

But Liu Xiu still didn't directly refute Su Chen.

Because before the expedition, he was summoned by the emperor alone.

Told him to manage the army well, and said a phone call as if although you are the deputy marshal, but you also have to take on the responsibility of being the commander.

Finally, he told him not to panic if he saw something strange.

If Su Chen wants to engage in 'practice' and 'riding alone to rush to the camp', don't be surprised, don't organize, just let him do it.

Since the emperor had told himself before, Liu Xiu also decided to take a good look.

How did Su Chen do it?

He, Liu Xiu, doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and doesn't believe in these messy 'practices'.
