Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 109
"Master, I want to go to seal the country."

"The people of the Tang Dynasty are suffering and living in dire straits, but I am enjoying themselves here. Alas, I feel really sorry for this in my heart."

"What's more, in today's Chang'an, the villain is in power, bewitching everyone, like me and other loyal and good people, there is no way to survive."

Liu Chang sighed that the world was impermanent, and Han Xin glanced at him, "I was beaten by Cao Can again?"

"That's right! Master! This man is too cruel. If he catches him, he will beat him. His father and mother are still on his side, even Gai Gong. My uncle also entertained him and gave him a lot of gifts. I can't stay in Chang'an any longer."

Hearing Liu Chang's complaint, Han Xin smiled softly and felt very relieved.

"That's fine, you should also grow up, and you can do big things with peace of mind in the future, and don't mess around anymore!"

With a helpless expression on Liu Chang's face, Han Xin continued his lectures. Han Xin always taught him the most basic tactics. At the same time, he took the world's fierce generals as examples. From Xiang Yu, to Cao Can, and even Fan Kuai, Han Xin was very proficient in their tactics. After finishing some basic content, Han Xin will also talk about the current situation.

"Your feudal kingdom, now there is no richest land of the two rivers, but there are more generations. Only the country of Yan can help you share the line of defense."

"The country of Yan is exhausted and unable to bear the responsibility."

"It is a fool's dream to want to defeat the Xiongnu with the current state of Tang."

"Ah? Co-authoring with me to go to Tang Kingdom is to be beaten by the Huns?"

Han Xin shook his head and said seriously: "To fight against the Huns, there are three most important things: horses, food, and bows and crossbows."

Liu Chang listened attentively, and Han Xin added: "The big Han lacks horses, and Tang is even more lacking in horses. If there are no horses, you can use favorable terrain to resist the Huns, but you can't stop the Huns, let alone defeat the Huns."

"The big Han is short of food, and the Tang state is even short of food. If you want to defeat the Huns, you have to travel long distances, and you must ensure food routes. There must be enough food, people need to eat, and war horses also need to eat."

"As for the bow and crossbow, in the battle with the Xiongnu, the consumption of the bow and crossbow must be huge."

Han Xin's words can be summed up in the word logistics. Without a strong national strength, it is impossible to defeat the Xiongnu at all, and dragging can drag you to death.And how much lack of horses in the early Han Dynasty?When the Han Dynasty was established, Liu Bang could not even find six horses of the same color. According to records, there were more than [-] war horses in the stables of the royal family at that time.

The minister in charge of this is Xia Houying.

In the past ten years, the number of war horses of Dahan has been rising rapidly, although it has been damaged once in the middle.Today, these thousands of war horses are not on the same level as the hundreds of thousands of war horses of the Xiongnu.

Not only the Han, but there were not many warhorses in the Warring States period. Qin and Zhao had a little more warhorses, but not much. When Li Mu of Zhao defeated the Xiongnu, the method he adopted was to show weakness, first numb the Xiongnu Shanyu, and then pretend Lose to the opponent, and then take advantage of the opponent's deep penetration, open the left and right wings to outflank the enemy and defeat the Huns.

This method is very good, but after all, Mao Dun is not a headman, so it may not be easy to get on, not to mention this trick has been used once.

"Then I'm going to raise a horse?"

Han Xin was furious, "As a king, how can you do such a thing as letting go of a horse yourself?"

"What does the master mean?"

"Write a letter to Zhang Cang, now the Huns have annexed many tribes, because Modun's actions are cruel, and many tribes are unwilling to follow the Huns, Zhang Cang can win over these people, put them in the Tang country, and let them come to support the Tang country. horse"

In Fan Kuai's mansion, Liu Chang sat in the upper position, and the sages sat on the left and right, but at this moment, after Prime Minister Cao's strong suppression, the sages were a little depressed.And their fathers, who are also in trouble with Prime Minister Cao, fully support Prime Minister Cao's behavior.

As soon as Prime Minister Cao came to Chang'an, he received numerous praises. After all, he only took three days to improve the law and order in Chang'an.

Liu Chang didn't care, he raised his head and said, "Don't worry, everyone."

"That Cao thief just came to Chang'an, and his reputation is not obvious. We have won the hearts and minds of the people. We have a good reputation. He was jealous of us, so he attacked us. We don't have to care about him. When I get older, he will be old, and the widow must be He sandwiched it and made three laps in Chang'an!"

The crowd became active again.

Liu Chang looked around and sighed.

Just as Lu Lu was about to speak, Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly pressed his head and shouted, "Why do you sigh, Your Majesty?"

"The widow only thinks of the suffering people of Tang country. You don't know, Tang country lacks horses, and the whole Tang country can't find a hundred war horses."

Xiao Yan asked dumbly, "What does the suffering of the people of Tang have to do with horses?"

"Why are you so unsympathetic! The people of Tang can no longer ride on war horses! Are you still here to refute the king?!"

Lu Lu finally found the opportunity to speak and hurriedly shouted.

"What's the clever plan of Qunxian?"

"Your Majesty, I have horses in my house! How much do you want?!"

Xia Houzao said excitedly.

"General Erxia Houying is still there. Forget it."

"Your Majesty, I'll wait for the horses in the mansion, why don't we steal it after dark?"

Zhou Shengzhi said.

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, but when he thought of Cao Can's brutal face, his eyes dimmed.

"Alas, how can the traitor be in charge."

Everyone scolded Cao Can and couldn't come up with any idea for a while. Chen Mai slowly got up and asked, "Why don't you buy some horses and send them to Tang country?"

"That's right! Can't you just buy it?! What can Cao Can, who was bought with money, do to us?"

Liu Chang suddenly realized that he did a lot of business without a book on weekdays, but he forgot that he could still buy things.

"How to buy it?"

Chen Mai continued: "In the past, there were Hu merchants who came to Chang'an to sell horses, but now there are no more. In Chang'an, there are big families, and they all have horses in their families, but horses are precious, I'm afraid they will cost a lot of money. what."

"It's easy to handle! How can a man be trapped by things that smell like copper?"

Liu Chang proudly said: "My family has quite a wealth of assets. For the sake of the people of Tang, I am willing to convince my parents with a three-inch tongue!"

He looked at the crowd again and said, "You can ask me for help, but you can't force me to buy it, otherwise Cao thief will catch up to the door, as long as it's a horse, whether it's a lame, small, male, female, or even a donkey. also!"

"Your Majesty. What's the use of this donkey?"

"You can carry food!"

"What about the lame one?"

"You'll know when you're a few years older."

Everyone immediately started to act, and Liu Chang naturally came to persuade his mother.

"Mother~~~"

This time, Han Xin did not deceive Liu Chang. Tang really lacked horses, because Chang'an had taken the horses from the Tang and Zhao areas back to the temple several times for his own use.In Tang Dynasty, horses are more precious than cattle. Thinking that this place used to be the largest horse farm in Jin and Zhao before, one can't help but sigh.

Empress Lu was also very concerned about this matter. She knew that Tang Guo lacked horses. After Liu Chang mentioned this, she directly found Xia Houying and asked Xia Houying to distribute some war horses to Tang Guo, so that Tang Guo could breed war horses by himself. Xia Houying was very reluctant, but there was no other way.

As for the money, Empress Lu did not give the money to Liu Chang, but sent someone to "buy" it and send it to Tang.

Just when Liu Chang fulfilled his wish and was satisfied, Liu Bang was very angry.

An urgent report came from the State of Yan, and the Huns cavalry crossed the Great Wall and plundered the counties and counties of the State of Yan.

This made Liu Bang realize that the position of King Yan could no longer be vacant.

Liu Bi is very young, but he is the most brave among the adult children of the clan. Liu Bang quite likes this brave Youzi. Originally, he wanted to split Huainan and give him half, but at this moment, he could only be sent to Yan. The bitter cold land of the country.

Liu Bang looked at Youzi helplessly, and explained, "Organize the troops and defend them with all-out efforts. Don't be reckless and don't attack."

Liu Bi was extraordinarily serious, "If I die, I will only die in the country of Yan!"

Different from Liu Chang's luxurious crowning ceremony, Liu Bi's crowning ceremony was very simple and fast. After the crowning, he went to Yan Kingdom to defend against the enemy. Liu Xi originally wanted to ask Liu Bang to ask his younger brother to change his son's title. The country, Naihe, Liu Bi would not allow it.

The young Liu Chang stood on the city wall and watched Liu Bi lead the soldiers away with a solemn expression on his face.

He looked at the north, stared at the blue sky, and said fiercely:

"Modun. You wait for me."

ps: Brothers, the fifth chapter really affects the quality too much, the fourth chapter is just right, and the fourth chapter is also more than 1 words. I wrote from morning to night, and I was exhausted and clueless by Chapter 5. If you don’t mind , I'd better try to update it four times. If it's the fifth update, I'm really afraid that the writing will collapse.
