With the ringing of the Jingyang bell, the great cadres and nobles came one after another, and at the same time, the army guarding various places also began to mobilize.

The nobles of Jinling City hurried over, and these people all had solemn expressions on their faces, since the domination of Zhuxia, this kind of gathering of all the nobles has rarely appeared.

Meng Tian walked quickly to Xu Chao's side and asked in a low voice, "General, is this something big happening?" Is it the remnants of the Six Nations who are revolting? ”

The Mengshi clan is an emerging aristocrat who followed Xu Chao to destroy the rise of the Five Kingdoms, and has always followed Xu Chao's actions.

Xu Chao said softly: "It's not the Six Kingdoms, it's the Huns!" ”

"Hu people? How dare they come and invade me? Meng Tian said angrily.

"Yes!" Xu Chao sighed lightly, and then walked into the hall first. The ministers in the back also rushed in.

In the main hall, Wang Luo sat on the main seat, and Shang Shuling and the prime ministers on the left and right also sat upright. After all the ministers saluted Wang Luo, they knelt down according to their respective seats. Soon all the ministers were there.

Prime Minister Sun Qian glanced around, and after seeing that there was no vacancy, he said: "Gentlemen, this time I urgently summoned you to enter the palace, it was this border pass emergency report, and the Huns entered the palace. ”

"Prime Minister, the Xiongnu are just some Hu people, and they dare to invade my Daqian?" Leling next to him couldn't help but say.

Sun Gan said with a solemn face: "Today is different from the past, the Hu people in the north have been unified by the Huns, and now the Huns have a territory of thousands of miles, a population of millions, and hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings. It is by no means comparable to the period of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of string controls?" The hall instantly fell silent, and everyone's faces were solemn, they were either generals who had fought in battles, or ministers who were familiar with government affairs, and they knew very well how powerful a country with millions of people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers was.

In particular, those warriors were also skilled cavalrymen with bows and horses.

There are quite a few cavalry in Daqian, but the total population does not exceed 100,000, after all, in addition to the fact that war horses are not easy to raise, the cost is also very high. The Huns turned out to have hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and this kind of power was very terrifying.

At the same time, they were also surprised by the unification of the Hu people, in the past during the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan, the Hu people in the north were divided into tribes, and there were many grudges against each other. These Hu people were scattered and were therefore easily defeated by the Three Kingdoms.

How did these tribes suddenly become unified when they lived in a single place?

Although the hundreds of thousands of cavalry are a great threat, the one who can unify the northern Zhuhu is also a hero. A wise king with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a mediocre king with hundreds of thousands of soldiers are two completely different concepts.

What's more, after the reunification of Zhuhu, its territory is as large as that of Daqian. The two sides are completely bordered by the north, and the pressure of war is several times greater in an instant.

An unprecedentedly powerful country of Hu barbarians has emerged.

Wang Luo saw that everyone realized the seriousness of the problem, and said: "Zhuqing, you must all know that the land of Bangzhou Fenghao was attacked and destroyed by the Hu people back then. Many of the states that Zhuxia was divided into at the beginning were also destroyed by the Hu people. Now that such a powerful Hu country has appeared, it must be a threat to my great cadres. ”

"Now these Huns have begun to spy on the land of my Zhuxia and plunder the people of my Zhuxia, this is an unforgivable crime, tell the widow, what are you going to do?"

"Kill! Kill these Hu people who dare to offend my big guys! ”

"Your Majesty, please fight!"

As soon as Wang Luo's words fell, the great cadres and nobles stepped forward one after another and asked him for battle. Other people in the hall asked for battle, but Xu Chao, as a general, was as stable as Mount Tai.

Xu Chao knew very well that his credit was too great, if he continued to lead the troops, it was very likely that he would become unsealable at that time, what should he do then? So he didn't plan to go at all.

Wang Luo is also very sober, many people proposed to drive the expedition in person, Wang Luo also felt excited at first, but quickly reacted. He is the supreme emperor, and if he leads the army to victory, it will only increase some prestige, but if he fails, it will be a great blow to morale and cadres.

In the future, it will definitely be recorded in the history books, and the ancestor of Qiangaozu drove the expedition in person and was defeated in the north.

The best way is naturally to appoint a commander in chief and command the army to attack, and if he wins, His Majesty the Emperor uses people well, and if he fails, it is the general's problem.

Of course, there is also a kind of riotous operation, he serves as the commander of the army, sits in Jinling, and then appoints a deputy marshal to lead the troops to the battle.

"General, who do you think is the commander of the Northern Expedition against the Huns?" Wang Luo asked.

Xu Chao got up and said, "Your Majesty, General Meng Tian and General Li Mu can both lead the army to fight. ”

After sweeping away the Six Kingdoms, some of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were absorbed by the Great Cadres, and Li Mu was one of them. When Zhao surrendered, Li Mu's father Li Ji led the northern border army of Zhao to surrender, Wang Luo did not despise him because he was a general, but entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

ordered his father and son to guard the border of Yan and Zhao, so the Li father and son were loyal and stationed in the north with outstanding achievements. Li Mu repeatedly led the army to defeat the Hu people in the north, and he was tired of the county uncle.

Wang Luo also liked Meng Tian and Li Mu very much, and immediately said: "This crusade against the Huns, the widow personally took the commander, with Li Mu as the deputy marshal, Wang Yun as the military advisor and the wine sacrifice, Meng Tian as the general, controlled the 300,000 horses of the three-way army, and added the northern general, the governor of the northern land to conquer all military secrets, and the officials of the northern counties were all ordered by him to go out of the three counties of Yanmen, Beidi and Yuyang to attack the Xiongnu. ”

Although Wang Luo does not lead the troops, he will give the greatest trust to the leading generals, but he will also pay attention to balance.

Li Mu, Meng Tian, and Wang Yun stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Oh! Your Majesty, the ministers will certainly live up to their mission. ”

At the same time, other nobles also received their orders.

With the operation of the war machine, a large number of soldiers began to be transferred, and the empty rats in the Taifu warehouse were in tears when they saw it.

Originally, it was necessary to support the construction of Luoyang, Chidao, and the southern expedition to Lingnan had already made the supply of grain and grass tight, but this time the Northern Expedition was dispatched, and it was not enough for Taifu and Taicang to be completely emptied, and Wang Luo could only allocate a large amount of materials from Shaofu, which was barely made up.

This big cadre unified the world, and finally the war ended, but the treasury was still empty. Taifu Shaoqing's ram and sorrowful hair are about to fall out, even if the empire still has a lot of money, but at this time, money can't buy grain and grass. After all, it takes time for food to grow out of the ground.

The land of the Six Nations had suffered many casualties due to war, and even after several years of governance, it had not fully recovered, and because of the continuous various projects of the Great Cadres, the consumption of grain and grass was serious. At present, the government treasury in various places is still insufficient, but fortunately, as long as it takes about a month, the grain will be harvested in various places, and then we can breathe a sigh of relief.

The Xiongnu soldiers are good at riding and shooting, mobile and flexible, but the equipment is not as good as the big Qian, and then there is Li Mu, who is familiar with the north and the Xiongnu, to lead the army, it is difficult to lose this battle.
