After listening to Shen Tujia's speech, Liu Che slowly raised his arm.

Revenge against the Huns was also the political correctness of the Han Dynasty.

Starting from Liu Bang, this mission has been deeply engraved in the marrow of the Han Dynasty.

No emperor dared to publicly give up the war of revenge against the Huns.

In fact, no emperor would give up revenge on the Huns.

The reason is also very simple.

There can only be one boss in this world, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain!

Therefore, Liu Che could not refuse the generals' proposal.

Liu Che stood up, looked at the ministers, and said loudly: "The Emperor Gao left me with the worries of Pingcheng, and Empress Lu Shanyu wrote about Bren, I dare not forget it for a day!"

This attitude must be expressed.

It is also the cornerstone of maintaining the relationship between monarch and ministers.

"In the past, Duke Xiang of Qi restored the vengeance of nine generations, which was great in the Spring and Autumn Period!" Liu Che continued: "Zhongni once said: The hatred of ten generations can still be restored. Therefore, since I came to the throne, I have rewarded soldiers, appointed good generals, and opened up

Examine and promote the public, recruit talents from all over the world, do light corvee and pay little in taxes, encourage farming and mulberry cultivation, and focus on encouraging farming, so that in the future, we can send troops to the north, hold the Chan in front of my emperor, and offer prisoners to the high temple!"

Liu Che's words were said to have reached the hearts of the ministers.

Going north to march out of the fortress, defeating the Xiongnu, humiliating Empress Lu, and reviving the hatred of Pingcheng being trapped, this is the current mainstream opinion of the Han Dynasty military and the consensus among the people.

During the Battle of Pingcheng sixty years ago, the Han Dynasty had no idea what the Huns were thinking.

But anyway, the Han Dynasty was not convinced and unwilling.

It was a 50-50 draw, but due to economic and political constraints, he could only bow his head and sign a humiliating peace treaty, while watching the Huns show off their power in front of him. Anyone with integrity and dignity would

It won't be comfortable.

Not to mention that in the next few decades, the Huns would come from time to time to provoke the Han Dynasty.

Fourteen years ago, the Xiongnu burned their way back to the central palace. Five years ago, they raided the border counties and killed thousands of soldiers.

From Yunzhong to Youbeiping, from Yuyang to Handan, there are countless Han subjects who have blood feuds with the Xiongnu.

As for the northern and southern armies, more than 70% of their troops and officers come from these places.

This is how the main war faction of the Han Dynasty has the most stable basic base.

No one can ignore the voice of this huge force.

After listening to the emperor's words, the main war factions were excited and high-spirited.

But Liu Che changed the topic and said: "It's just that Sun Tzu said: The Lord must not raise an army out of anger. Since ancient times, when great countries conquer, they have always prioritized temples. The one with more temples wins!"

"If you want to conquer the Xiongnu, you must plan the layout of the temple. Examine the enemy and ourselves! As a parent of the people, I must also plan for the lives of my subjects!"

These two words made the leader and faction, who were originally a little sad, stand upright for a moment.

As for the ministers and generals who were leading the battle, they were a little uneasy.

But no one can object to the emperor's statement.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, temple layout has been the most important part of national-level military operations.

Through the development of sages such as Sima Xiangqie, Sun Wu, Wu Qi and Sun Bin, temple calculations have become an indispensable part of military operations at this time.

The so-called temple calculation was originally a behavior with serious feudal superstition.

During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, every military campaign required divination and sacrifices to the heavens. The ghosts and gods were consulted to obtain good omens before sending troops.

However, after the attacks and mergers by other countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the art and level of Chinese warfare continued to improve.

Today, the temple calculation has lost most of its superstitious color and has become synonymous with the country's strategic layout.

A typical example is the Changping Battle between Qin and Zhao. Both warring parties conducted countless discussions and war simulations before and during the war.

The Qin court mobilized almost all the forces in the country, including every village, every population, and every grain of rice.

In order to prevent the State of Zhao from knowing the arrangements of the Qin court, the State of Qin even issued a strict order: Anyone who dares to betray Lord Wu An as a general will be killed without mercy!

Zhao State is no exception.

The famous armchair war story illustrates well that at that time, Zhao State had already attached great importance to strategic planning.

In the Han Dynasty, temple layout developed to a new peak.

Three years ago, Wu Chu rebelled. Before Zhou Yafu led the army to put down the rebellion, he had secret discussions with Liu Che's emperor father for several days. The emperor and his ministers confessed to each other, explained their respective requirements and bottom lines, and discussed the possible development direction of the war.

deduction.

It was this kind of pre-war estimates and budgets that played a huge role in the process of countering the rebellion. The Wu-Chu Rebellion ended in March, and the temple budget was well laid out, which played a big factor in it.

Otherwise, if Liang Guo is in danger, Zhou Yafu will be forced to rescue Suiyang, and the Wu-Chu Rebellion may lead to what will happen.

Liu Che, on the other hand, wanted to go one step further.

Introduced the later-generation Joint Chiefs of Staff mechanism into the Han Dynasty.

Let’s have a more detailed and in-depth understanding of the term temple calculation.

So, Liu Che clapped his hands, and the young master ordered Liu She to understand immediately and ordered someone to carry a huge paper map into the palace.

This is the first map in history drawn on paper.

It consists of two huge wooden shafts rolled together.

The two wooden shafts are seven feet long. The paper rolled together is thick leather paper developed by Shaofu. This kind of paper is thicker and rougher than the current white paper, but it is very suitable for drawing.

map.

But this way, the map becomes very heavy.

It was carried into the temple by four men.

Liu Che waved his hand, and Liu She asked someone to open the map.

The two eunuchs pulled the two axes of the map and slowly unfolded it.

Then, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge thing that was more than ten feet long and about seven feet wide.

Above, you can have an unobstructed view of mountains, rivers, city lakes.

The towering Great Wall stretches along the lines of the mountains and divides this map into two.

The Han Dynasty is on the left and the Xiongnu is on the right.

One after another, wooden dolls appeared on the map under the arrangement of the Shaofu officials.

Liu Che walked to this huge map, looked at it, and was very satisfied.

This map should be the most advanced and clearest military map in the world.

Many new mapping techniques and new standards are used on this map.

For example, there are contour lines, scales, and explanations of various symbols.

And that individual doll represents a military force supporting the Han and Hungarian sides.

On the side of the Han Dynasty, from the south of Yunzhong, Hedgehog gathered a huge army.

The main field armies of the Han Dynasty were lined up in order, Feihu, Beidi, Xiliu, Bashang, and Thorny Gate, while the garrison troops at the Great Wall relied on the defense line of the Great Wall and were scattered along the thousands-mile-long border.

As for the Xiongnu, due to limited sources of intelligence and information, we can only place the currently known Xiongnu tribes in the southern part of the country and their approximate strength and location on the map.

But, just like that, it is also a terrifying armed force.

Just in the direction of Hetao and its vicinity, there are six Xiongnu figures watching each other. Near the long border from Youbeiping to Yunzhong, there are more than ten figures walking around the grassland.

Deep in the heart of the country, the Huns' huge cluster in Munan is intimidating.

Liu Che picked up a puppet chess piece and said: "Juzhu's army has 1,700 soldiers and 5,000 cavalry. They all changed their uniforms last year. However, Juzhu is in Yanmen and has the task of defending, so

Only a maximum of three thousand cavalry can be mobilized!"

"The Feihu Army has 8,700 soldiers, including 3,000 cavalry. It will be redressed in April this year!" Liu Che picked up the puppet of the Feihu Army behind Ju Zhu and said, "Of course, the Feihu Army is the fortress of the world.

Carrying the weight of mountains and rivers, you can’t move easily!”

Liu Che then put down the doll.

The headquarters of the Feihu Army was the famous Guangchang County. In later generations, this place was named Baoding.

As early as when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Li Shiqi suggested to Liu Bang: He is willing to quickly resume his troops. Collect Xingyang, use Ao Geng's grain, and block the danger of Cheng Gao. Du Dahang (Taihang) Road, away from the mouth of Feihu,

Guard the white horse's waters to show the princes that they are taking advantage of the situation, and then the world will know where they are.

The importance of flying fox is evident.

The troops stationed here will not be mobilized until there is a critical moment.

During the Wu-Chu Rebellion three years ago, not a single soldier from the Feihu garrison was mobilized.

Liu Che moved his gaze northward and focused on Beidi.

Here is the largest and most powerful cavalry group in the Han Dynasty.
