"Your Highness, you're not joking, are you?"

The next day, Liu Qi summoned the ministers in the north and announced his intention to wage war against the Xiongnu.

This is nothing, what Wood didn't expect the most was that Liu Qi also agreed on a deadline for himself.

Half!

You must know that what Liu Qi said is not that it will take half a year to win a battle with the Huns, but that the Huns will completely collapse in this half a year!!

If it was before, Wood and others might still believe it, and the people of Daqing thought in their bones that the Huns were just a small man who commanded to steal chickens and dogs, and there was nothing to worry about at all.

As long as Daqing sends hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it can wipe out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

But now, the Wood crowd doesn't think so.

After the previous battle, they have fully realized that the current Xiongnu are no longer comparable to the past, they not only have strong combat ability, but also have an excellent general Zamuhe.

Moreover, at present, in the north, even if Liu Qi's pro-army is added, all the soldiers are taken out, but there are only 150,000 people, but the Xiongnu are twice as many as theirs.

In a head-to-head battle, there is almost no chance of victory.

Moreover, the grassland is vast, even if the Xiongnu are invincible, using the advantage of terrain, they can completely fight with Daqing's army, so even if it is consumed, it can completely consume Daqing's army to death.

Not to mention half a year, even if it is five years, Wood and they all feel that it is already a great thing to be able to completely defeat the Huns.

What puzzled Wood the most was that Liu Qi, who went out again, no longer had the deadline stipulated by the imperial court, and how long he wanted to defeat the Xiongnu was just a final result.

I don't understand why Liu Qi will set a deadline for himself that is impossible to achieve.

If it can be explained, it is that the prince must be in a hurry.

So, Wood couldn't help but persuade.

"Your Royal Highness, today's Huns, is no longer what it used to be, not only is it strong, but also has a clear combat mind, although I Daqing is not afraid of the Huns, but also do not underestimate, but also hope that Your Highness, and then think about it."

However, Liu Qi's answer was very firm.

"Half a year! In just half a year, within half a year, this king will definitely plant the banner of Qingguo on the wall of his Xiongnu royal city! ”

Seeing Liu Qi's attitude so resolute, even if Wood and the others were helpless, it was not easy to say more, after all, he was the final commander of this battle against the Huns.

In addition, he also has it, since Liu Qi dares to set a deadline like this, he must have a certain degree of certainty in his heart.

Is Liu Qi really in a hurry? Of course not!

Just as Wood had hoped for in his heart, he was sure.

And this grasp not only comes from the plan he agreed with Lu Liang and Bai Qi to fight the Huns last night.

The most important thing is that if you want to realize this plan perfectly, half a year is the best opportunity, and if you miss it, I'm afraid you don't know when you have to wait.

Indeed, as Wood said, the current Huns are indeed not to be underestimated.

They are no longer barbarian tribes in a corner of peace, and their combat ability and scale are already comparable to that of a vassal state.

At present, the elite division of the Xiongnu is mainly composed of three parts.

They were the Great Khan's pro-army, the main cavalry, and the Foreign Legion

The Great Khan's pro-army, 150,000 people, was under the direct jurisdiction of Shan Yu. The main cavalry of about 100,000 people, under the jurisdiction of Hatil, was almost always composed of Huns.

It is these two forces that are the main pro-army components of the Xiongnu, and they are also the key to controlling the tribes without causing chaos.

Secondly, there is the Foreign Legion, which is controlled by Zamuhe.

Its composition includes the Jin tribe, the Yantuo tribe, the Yinan tribe, the Tieledan tribe and other tribes of soldiers and generals.

Historically, they had three other names that were easy to understand: the Tiger Division, the Leopard Division, and the Eagle Division.

Together, these troops numbered about 400,000 people. All cavalry, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry.

Compared with the 300,000 troops that Daqing knew before, there are 100,000 more people.

It can also be seen from this that the last time they attacked Beiping Pass, the Xiongnu did not even send out the whole army!

In the face of such an opponent with absolute combat power and has formed a scale, it is by no means easy to defeat it, not to mention, it will take half a year.

But Liu Qi doesn't think so, even if it is an iron bucket, there are his loopholes, since it is open on the outside, it is a fortress that seems to be unshakable, so it will start to erode from the inside.

Lu Liang came back this time and brought several important information, which can also be said to have accomplished several major things.

The first is that he is already in a relationship with the patriarch of Yantuo, Chi Lihan, and it can be said that it is very easy to communicate privately.

Liu Qi knew through his letters before that this person was a greedy and lustful lord, and he still had deep complaints about the Huns.

In this way, taking advantage of this, it is inevitable that the second will be differentiated.

The second is that in this trip to the Xiongnu, Lu Liang became the prince of the Tieledan tribe, Lier, he is a person who sees the wind and steers, and his interests are soaked, and he is even better than Chi Lihan.

However, Liha has a shortcoming, that is, he is timid, and he has no strategy, and it is almost impossible for him to succeed.

But he does have a very important place, that is, he has a very good relationship with the patriarch of the Jin clan, that is, Aguyan, and he is the kind of friend who has been friends for eight worships.

I have learned before that Agu Yan is a good fighter, and his sister is still the imperial concubine of Shan Yu.

He is a person who is not greedy for money, nor is he lustful, and he is extremely ambitious, and what he has always dreamed of is to sit in the position of Da Danyu and restore the glory of the Jin family.

However, he still respects the current Shan Yu. And Liha is the one who can shake him, and to those who are only respectful, he is also the one who can let him ignite the seeds of desire.

If that's the case, it's certainly not enough.

Power trumps everything.

The Xiongnu now mainly control the military power, one is Shan Yu, and the other is Zamuhe and Hatil.

If you want to compare, in Liu Qi's opinion, Hartier can fight, but his strategy is insufficient, if he can be regarded as a big enemy, it must be Zamuhe.

Just from before, this person set up an ambush and defeated hundreds of thousands of troops in Daqing on the grassland, almost leading to the annihilation of the entire army, it can be seen that this person is not simple.

Therefore, Zamuhe is a nail, and if you want to defeat the Huns, you must first pull out this nail.

Who can do that?

It was also through Lu Liang and Liu Qi that he knew that by Shan Yu's side, there is now this very favored official.

He also has half Han Chinese blood and is named Dakai.

This person is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also very timid and afraid, using Shan Yu's favor to him, it can be said that he is rampant in the Xiongnu tribe. Shan Yu was also very willing to take his advice.

In Liu Qi's view, the most important thing is this Dakai.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that one Dakai can even beat 100,000 male lions.

He will inevitably become the key to being able to divide the Huns and pull out the nail of Zamuhe!!
