"Dou Ying, let's talk about it." Emperor Jing looked happy and opened his mouth and urged him.

"Emperor, Wei Qihou has said it three times." Zhou Yafu reminded with a smile. He called for Emperor Jing to share this joy together. This was planned by Zhou Yang. He, the father, has this right.

"Three times?" Emperor Jing touched his forehead, a little surprised.

Since Emperor Gaozu pacified the city, the Han Dynasty has been at a disadvantage. The Huns that the Han Dynasty emperors saw were all arrogant. They were the envoys of the Huns. They were ordered to come to Chang'an to ask for things. Silk, silk, porcelain, tea, women... Often lions speak loudly. If they don't give, they will say wildly: If you don't give, you will be beaten!

The Han Dynasty was not strong enough, so there was only endurance! This endurance lasted for decades, which was the heartache of the Han Dynasty emperor. Today, I finally saw the Huns with their heads hanging down, which was so joyful.

"The emperor likes to listen, I will say this." Dou Ying knew very well that this joy was hard to come by.

"Forget it! We can't just be happy, but don't do anything." Emperor Jing waved his hand to stop Dou Ying, and his eyebrows frowned: "Dou Ying, you have just returned from the border. It is logical that you should have rested. However, time does not wait for anyone. There is one thing that you want, no, you and Zhou Yafu do together."

"Please give me instructions!"

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, feeling very regretful: "Meng Tian, ​​a famous general of the previous dynasty, fought against the Huns in the Hetao area, and used tens of thousands of powerful crossbows and tens of thousands of cavalry to achieve such a great victory. Now, Zhou Yang has only a little over four thousand crossbows in his hand, less than half of Meng Tian's use. This is too little. You two rushed to the arsenal and counted them to see how many crossbows there were, and all sent to Zhou Yang."

"The emperor is wise! Even if the emperor doesn't say it, I will ask for an order." Dou Ying knew the truth of the border. The key to whether he could defeat the counterattack of the Huns was the crossbow. Zhou Yang had only put together more than 4,000 crossbows, which was too few.

Of course, there are more than just such crossbows at the border, and you have to leave some crossbows to defend the city.

If Emperor Jing sent the crossbow from the arsenal to the border, then the Han army would be more sure of winning in this battle. Emperor Jing's words were simply heavenly sounds, and Zhou Yafu was so excited: "Thank you, the emperor!"

Waving his hand, Emperor Jing sighed: "During the Battle of Hetao in the previous dynasty, the First Emperor issued an imperial edict, a very heroic imperial edict: Let the Huns know who is the ancestor of the flying cavalry!"

"The previous dynasty was the ancestor of Feiqi?" Feiqi was very famous in history. Zhou Yafu knew it. When he heard this, he was both excited and surprised.

Emperor Jing knew that Zhou Yafu didn't read much and knew very little about these historical facts. He looked at Dou Ying and did not speak.

Dou Ying understood that Emperor Jing asked him to explain to Zhou Yafu: "The Marquis of Tiao was unknown. The former dynasty started in Longxi and was called the Qin tribe. The Qin tribe offered horses to the Zhou emperor. They were good at riding and shooting and using flying cavalry. As for flying cavalry, Tiaohou knew about them. They were wearing leather armor, riding war horses, hanging their heads around their waists, and storming weapons. This was famous at that time, and nearby tribes were afraid of the Qin tribes. Therefore, after King You of Zhou played with the princes, King Ping of Zhou asked for no way, so he traveled thousands of miles to Longxi to meet Duke Xiang of Qin. Duke Xiang of Qin led 50,000 flying cavalry south to Guanzhong, fought with Rongdi in Haojing, defeating 80,000 Rong people, and recovering Haojing. King Ping of Zhou saw the destruction of the palace and moved east to Luoyang. In the chaos, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began."

"Oh! So that's it!" Zhou Yafu suddenly realized: "Scholars talked about the cruelty of the previous dynasty, but they didn't know that there was no sight of swords and guns on the battlefield. Either you die or I live, how can you speak with kindness and righteousness? It's wrong! It's wrong!"

At that time, although some people called the Qin Dynasty cruel and unkind, they were far inferior to later generations. After all, Confucianism was not yet supreme.

Emperor Jing took over the conversation and said, "In the Battle of Hetao, Meng Tian first shot and killed the Xiongnu with a powerful crossbow. The blood flowed into a river. The Xiongnu could not resist it and began to flee north. Prince Fusu personally led 100,000 flying cavalry to fight against the Xiongnu, and gained the upper hand, killing the Xiongnu without the power to fight back. When will the Han Dynasty have such a good cavalry?"

If the Han Dynasty now had a cavalry that could conquer and fight well, the situation would be very different, and Emperor Jing sighed.

Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying bowed and went to the arsenal to count the crossbows.

At the Yanmen City, the Han army was training riding and shooting. After these days of training, their riding and shooting skills have made great progress. When they were watching the troops that day, they only knew how to ride horses, but now they are much more proficient. They can not only ride horses, but also shoot arrows and shoot arrows, and kill immediately.

Everyone was sweating profusely, but they were full of energy and rushed to kill.

Zhou Yang stood on the hill, sweating all over. The weather was so hot. Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Feng Jing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian and others were running in the formation, giving instructions to correct the wrong parts, and their clothes were soaked.

When the sun was at its peak, the salary was at noon. After the morning training, the soldiers went to use the camp rice. Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Feng Jing and others gathered together to deal with the camp rice.

"Master, the brothers' riding and shooting are very diligent. They cannot just practice like this. They have to fight. Only fighting can make people grow better." Li Guang whispered rice and loudly suggested: "Master, we have tens of thousands of horses, infantry and crossbowmen, all with four legs, coming and going like the wind. Why not, we will kill the Shanyu Ting while the Huns were still dispatching troops!"

This proposal is bold, but it makes people feel excited. Cheng Buzhi almost fell to the ground with a strong sense of excitement: "Master, what the Flying General said is very reasonable. For decades, the Han army has never been to the Shanyu Court. If we kill, the Huns will definitely not realize it. If we catch us off guard, we will definitely have a big victory!"

Feng Jing couldn't help it: "The Huns are resting now, and they must have never thought that we would attack their nests in the hot summer!"

"Do it!" Gongsun He stopped eating, his eyes widened and looked at Zhou Yang.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yang, waiting for his decision.

Li Guang's proposal was so tempting. Zhou Yang's heart was pounding and he wanted to agree to send troops. However, if he thought about it carefully, it would not work now: "What the Flying General said is reasonable. If we send troops now, we will have a good harvest. However, there are several problems. We must understand that, first, our cavalry is too few, and although crossbowmen and infantry can be cavalry, their cavalry shooting and slashing are far worse than those of cavalry. If we really encounter the Hun army, it will be unfavorable for us. Second, our food and grass are unsustainable. Like such a huge army, we go deep into the desert without food and fodder. Third, the Shanyuting is not in Longcheng, but in a few hundred miles north of Longcheng, which is far beyond our attack range. If it is in Longcheng, we can try it."

Longcheng was thousands of miles away from the Han territory, and the cavalry only took three or four days to arrive, but the military minister Shanyu chased Jianzhang's army and was frightened. He fled all the way north and fled further.

"Then let's attack Longcheng!" Li Guang let the camp eater and his voice was very loud: "Longcheng is the burial place of the Xiongnu Shanyu. If we capture Longcheng, hehe..."

This was also a very good idea, and everyone agreed in unison: "Yes, Grandmaster, fight Longcheng!"

If Longcheng was captured, it would be digging the ancestral tombs of the Huns. The Huns would definitely be furious and thunderous to the tombs of their ancestors. How pleasing that would be!

This plan was so tempting that Zhou Yang stood up suddenly and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Everyone stood up, pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, waiting for Zhou Yang's order.

quiet!

Silence like death!

Time passed while waiting, and the light in Zhou Yang's eyes faded: "I have to say that the Flying General's proposal is very good, and I almost agreed. But now it is not possible. Longcheng is now an empty city, and there are not many Huns. Even if we dig the Huns' ancestral tombs, the gains are not large, but instead reveal our strength. Our main purpose is to annihilate the Huns' army. Only by cleaning up the Huns' army, Longcheng cannot escape."

The impact of capturing Longcheng will be very great. The only disadvantage is that it cannot annihilate the Huns' army. Choose between digging ancestral tombs and annihilation of the Huns' army. Famous generals such as Li Guang will not choose the wrong choice, sigh and stop speaking.

Just as they sighed, Zhou Yang's words made them particularly excited: "We cannot make the Huns live too well, and we cannot let the Shanyu dispatch troops calmly. We should take advantage of this season to give the Huns a big gift!"

"Another gift?"

When everyone remembered An Tao's incident, their faces shone brightly and their eyes were filled with a blazing light.

"It's nothing. For decades, the Huns have been harassing the border, but no Han army has harassed the Huns. I want to send tens of thousands of troops to harass the Huns and take revenge!" Zhou Yang said very calmly.

"Ten thousand troops?"

Tens of thousands of Han troops went to harass the Huns, but it never happened. Li Guang and Cheng Bugui almost smashed their eyes to the ground.

If this is the case, what would happen if tens of thousands of Han troops appeared in the desert and nuisanced and slashed everywhere?

It must be blood flowing into a river and corpses accumulate like mountains!
