Chapter 4 Donghu(2/2)

"Crown Prince, how do you fight? You can issue an order!" Li Guang couldn't help rubbing his hands, looking excited: "It's been six years since I haven't been on the battlefield, my hands are itchy."

After Liu Che glanced at him, except for Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui, Qin Yi, Zhang Tong and others couldn't stop rubbing their hands. It seemed that their hands were really itchy.

Liu Che was very satisfied with the generals' fierce fighting spirit and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, why don't you rub your hands?"

"The prince doesn't know anything. The general doesn't need to rub his hands, he rubs his brain." Li Guang rushed to answer.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed happily.

"Brother-in-law, the Lord and Father Yan are a little confused about the matter of sending troops, and they are very worried." Liu Che browsed and said, "Their concerns are right. The father and emperor are not at peace. It is not necessary to send troops at this time. However, I am not waiting, and the Huns fought against the Donghu. At present, the Donghu has been defeated and has lost half of its territory. People have sent to ask for help from the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty does not send troops, it will be watching the Donghu destruction."

After a moment of pause, the voice suddenly became louder: "If the Donghu falls into the hands of the Huns, the national strength of the Huns will be sharply enhanced, with more mouths and countless cattle, sheep, and horses. This is extremely unfavorable to the Han Dynasty, but it is not a place that makes the Gu worry. What is worried is that if the Huns get the Donghu land, they can restrain the Han Dynasty more."

The Donghu is mainly the three northeastern provinces now. If it falls into the hands of the Huns, the Huns can restrain the Han Dynasty from the east and drag down many Han troops. The Huns are cavalry, coming and going like the wind and acting quickly. If the Han Dynasty wants to prevent the Huns, it needs to station a large number of troops.

In modern times, the three northeastern provinces are rich places. In the Han Dynasty, it was a bitter and cold place with a vast land and sparse population, so it could not afford to support the army. The Han army stationed there needed a lot of supplies, and all had to be transferred from the mainland. Not to mention anything else, transportation alone was a shocking expense.

If this is the case, the Han Dynasty will carry a heavy burden.

If you want to not bear this burden, the Han Dynasty would have to send troops to the Donghu, take down the Donghu, and prevent the expansion of the Huns. This would not only weaken the national strength of the Huns, but also compress the strategic space of the Huns, which would be of great benefit to the Han-Hungary War.

Zhou Yang praised Liu Che's decision very much. The emperor of the ages is different and he can see it very accurately.

"So, I decided that this battle must be fought!" Liu Che stood up suddenly, clenched his hands into fists: "And, this battle is only allowed to win, not defeat! It is best to take Donghu away! Brother-in-law, you will still be the commander of the army this time!"

"No!" Among these generals, Zhou Yang was the most sure of commanding troops. It goes without saying that Li Guang and Cheng didn't know them. Although they were famous generals, they were not as good as Zhou Yang when it came to commanding the army.

Although Wei Qing was good, he had not yet had the experience of leading troops alone in a war, so he had to do Zhou Yang.

"Father, the dragon body is not safe, this battle must be decided quickly!" Liu Che stared at Zhou Yang and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you sure?"

Emperor Jing's health was getting worse and worse, and he might die at any time. If he died in the war between the two armies, the Han Dynasty could only stop the battle, and quick battle was the best solution.

"Prince, please rest assured. I will do my best!" Zhou Yang replied loudly.

"That's good!" Liu Che was very relieved. If Zhou Yang could not do it, no one could do it.

"The situation in Donghu is now very different." Liu Che shouted outside the hall: "Call them in. Let me tell you about the situation in Donghu first."

Two middle-aged men came in outside the hall, very energetic, and quickly walked over and greeted Liu Che: "I have met the prince."

"This one is Sima Yi, this one is Qin Feng." Liu Che pointed at the two of them and introduced Zhou Yang: "They have a great background."
