Chapter 34 Re-poisoning

Yun Xiao was teasing his little girl at home for fun. This girl is now working hard to learn to crawl. It is not so easy to train the most primitive skills of this human being. Xiao Yunmi has fallen off Xiaobai's body three times. This time, she grabbed Xiaobai's ears and finally grabbed the leopard's ears and rode on the head of the beast. She was shouting and cheering for victory.

As soon as Xiaobai lowered his head, the little guy fell off Xiaobai's head. Yun Xiao caught it and bounced Xiaobai's brainstorm and actually dared to throw my baby daughter. Xiaobai shook his head dissatisfiedly and decided to sleep next to Manniu. This life is impossible, and the little guy who can't even climb even dared to ride on my head. He was beaten when he was unhappy when he rode. Xiaobai decided to find Manniu to comfort his injured heart.

"I said, don't let you take your child to play with Xiaobai. It's a beast, what should I do if I hurt the child?"

Luan Ling took over her daughter from Yun Xiao, but the man was not at ease to take care of the children. She had never seen anyone who took the children to play with the leopard, and it would be scary to say it.

"It's okay, Xiaobai knows that this is our child. It hurts. Others can try to pull the ears and even the family members slapped them. If it were an outsider, they would have been bitten to death n times. You haven't seen it biting."

Yun Xiao looked indifferent and wanted to take his daughter over.

"Mr. Marquis, Eunuch Cang is here to pass the order. You should go out and receive the order quickly."

Dai Yu's voice came from outside the door.

Cang Jingkong, what is he going to do? Is Liu Qi looking for him again? No, he is hiding. The farther away from this tuberculosis patient, the better. I dare not approach what if it is infected.

"Old, what's your Majesty asking me for?"

As long as Cang Jingkong comes to Yun’s family to announce the order, Yun Xiao will not have the habit of accepting the order seriously.

"I don't know this old slave, but I only know that Your Majesty summoned the Prime Minister, Taiwei Zhou, and Taifu Dou at Chengguang Palace. For some reason, the father-in-law Qiandu hurried out and asked me to tell you to see the emperor in Tangquan Palace."

Is it related to their meeting when I met Tangquan Palace?

"What's going on in their meeting?"

"Oh, what else can it be? Of course, it was the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu's request to marry the Han princess. All the palace maids who served in Chengguang Hall were driven out. Only Qiandu was serving inside, so what was said inside? I don't know. Get in the car quickly. Don't ask Your Majesty to wait. Your Majesty has a bad temper recently, don't talk nonsense."

Yun Xiao quickly changed into a court uniform, climbed onto the carriage with difficulty, and galloped towards Tangquan Palace.

"I am Yunxiao paying homage to Your Majesty."

Yun Xiao bowed to the high-ranking Liu Qi.

"Forget it, get up."

Yun Xiao stood up and saw Liu She, Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu kneeling on both sides. All three were big bosses in the court. Yun Xiao was a little puzzled and wondered what the princess had to marry the Huns far away had to do with him.

"Yun Xiao. You have been in the Huns for a while. I believe you know the situation there. You can tell me how you can repel the Huns' offensive border."

Liu Qi sat hard on the soft couch, with thick pillows on both sides and behind him.

It turned out that I was asking this. Yun Xiao gave me a sigh of relief. This question is not only my own, but also many friends from later generations of post bars, so it should not be a difficult problem.

"If you want to solve the problem of the Xiongnu disturbance, you must completely change the current passive defense situation. Cultivate cavalry troops on a large scale and enter the grassland and desert to fight. Because the borders of the Han-Hungarians are very long, with the mobility of the Xiongnu cavalry, they can quickly concentrate their strength to break through at one point. A team of well-trained cavalry can often march a hundred miles day and night, or even further.

During the Battle of Gaoyou, my cavalry once marched 120 miles overnight.

The infantry of our Han army moved slowly, and when our army arrived at the looted place, it was already scorched earth. Our army became a corpse collector and follower. Only the cavalry could maneuver and carry out counterattacks against the Huns and Shanyu.

There must be cavalry fighting in the grassland and desert, because the grassland is vast and sparsely populated. It is not as dense as the city of the Central Plains, and the mobility of cavalry can be fully utilized on the grassland. If infantry goes deep into the grassland, it is probably more unlucky."

"Oh, then tell me. How long does it take to train a cavalry?"

"It is hard to say that this minister must first have a horse to train cavalry. This horse cannot be an ordinary horse, but a war horse. You must charge in battle without fear of danger and move forward bravely. Only such a horse can be used on the battlefield. If a horse is shocked by the sound of drums on the battlefield, it will only hurt lives.

The second is to train knights. As far as I know, the Huns usually start riding horses at the age of five or six. It can be said that they all grew up on horseback. Most of my men's families are farmers holding hoes. If they were asked to ride on horseback on the battlefield, the result can be imagined.

If we concentrate our great Han Dynasty, we will train about 10,000 qualified cavalrymen in about six or seven years."

Liu Qi frowned when he heard Yun Xiao's answer. It seemed that he would really sacrifice one of his daughters this time.

"What do you mean is that the Han Dynasty will have to be at least six or seven years before it can have the initial ability to resist the Huns?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood. What I said is that 10,000 qualified knights can be trained in six or seven years. It takes 200,000 knights to defeat the Huns. The training of humans is mainly because horses are extremely difficult to get. It is almost impossible to get 200,000 horses in the current situation."

"Hmph, you mean that my great man will never defeat the Huns."

There was obvious dissatisfaction in Liu Qi's tone.

"I have a compromise method that can temporarily alleviate the problem of the Han army's mobility. That is to establish chariots, of course, not the kind of chariots in the Warring States Period. The chariots I mentioned are four-wheeled carriages from the Yun family, and the soldiers were equipped with strong bows and crossbows on the chariots.

It can stop the enemy's charge and avoid being defeated by the enemy's charge.

Second, you can use a crossbow to kill and injure the enemy from a condescending position. I believe that killing the enemy from a distance is the way to win. The close-killing fight is too fierce, and even if you kill a thousand enemies, you will have to lose 800 yourself. Such victory can only be called a tragic victory."

"Oh Chebing, you can come here to drive the four-wheeled carriage you mentioned. I want to watch it."

"Your Majesty, my carriage is parked at the gate of the palace..."

"The person who came ordered someone to drive Lintong Hou's carriage into the palace."

"Nuo" Qiandu responded and hurried out to give instructions.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside. Liu Qi, with the help of Qiandu, stepped out of Chengguang Hall and carefully watched the four-wheeled carriage of the Yun family. He originally thought that the carriage of the Yun family was wider, but now after looking carefully, he realized that these carriages have four wheels and do not have to bear too much burden on the horses in front of him.

Even if it is not placed on the horse, the cart can stand there and be moved by someone. Unlike a two-wheeled carriage, it cannot move at all as long as it is removed from the horse.

"Your Majesty, what we see is for people to ride. If we want to transform it into a chariot, we just need to install thicker wooden box boards on the chariot. The sergeant can ride in a chariot. Although the speed of traveling is not as fast as that of a cavalry, it is at least much faster than that of an infantry. In addition, the horses with the shaft are much easier to find than the war horses. Therefore, the chariot soldiers can temporarily alleviate the problem of insufficient mobility of the infantry in the Han Dynasty."

Liu Qi was overjoyed and pointed to the carriageway: "Helping me in and sit down."

"promise"

Qiandu hesitated and helped Liu Qi into Yun Xiao's car, two burly men, one on the left and one on the right, stood behind the goshawk.

The carriage ran around Chengguang Palace for a while, and Liu Qi praised this steady carriage.

"Hurry, drive faster. Go out of the palace and go to the fields and I want to see it."

Zhidu was shocked when he heard this and quickly ordered the Yulin guard to lead the war horse.

The carriage was speeding on the main road, with a large number of guards standing on both sides. The vanguard Yulin ran out two miles, driving all the pedestrians on the road off the roadbed to ensure the smooth flow of the main road.

The four-wheeled carriage was very stable on the road, and Liu Qi almost didn't feel any bumps in the carriage.

After running for a long time, the carriage returned to Chengguang Palace.

"Okay, this thing is good. Lintong Hou, you draw the car picture album. I ordered the steward to speed up the construction of the prison. I know your good fortune. Rewarding you a hundred hectares of good land is considered to be a way to build your car. How about it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Qi was obviously very happy.

Dou Ying was very depressed, which was very different from his original intention. It seemed that the princess went out of the boxing was a foregone conclusion, and this would not be enough to stumbling on the kid.

"Marquis Lintong, what do you think about the Han princess going out to the frontier and pro-Huns."

"Good marriage?"

Yun Xiao was a little confused. It seemed that Liu Qi should ask about this matter. You are the old man, but looking at Liu Qi's searching gaze, it's not easy to answer.

"Your Majesty's wise candlelight will naturally have a complete solution. Yun Xiao is just a little clever. It is better to ask Wei Qihou to help Your Majesty with such a major matter."

Only if a ball is kicked back in full, a fool will make a statement on such a thing.

"Well……"

Dou Ying was suffocated for a moment. He calculated everything but did not count that Yun Xiao would answer like this.

"Shake. Go and draw patterns for me."

Liu Qi was in a better mood, and he saw a glimmer of hope of defeating the Huns from the four-wheeled carriage.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Marquis of Lintong had a group of Xiongnu knights. Luan Bu also told me that the Marquis of Lintong knew the Huns' language. Why not let the Marquis of Lintong discuss marriage with the Huns as a representative of the court? In this way, at least in terms of language communication, there will be no mistakes."

Dou Ying hurriedly put on another pair of rotten medicine. In short, it would not be enough if he didn't think about it. This kid was too slick and smart. If he had sex with King Liang or other princes, things might change, and it would be better to find an opportunity to get rid of it.

"Accurate, I ordered Lintong Hou Yunxiao to be the special envoy to communicate with the Xiongnu envoy."
