"Chang... If you want to defeat the Huns, the first thing you should do is put away your useless anger and calm down... It's okay to use your anger at this time to beat a few servants who dare not fight back, but

If you want to fight the Huns... let's wait until you calm down first."

Ever since Liu Ying told Liu Chang about the letter, an unspeakable anger burned Liu Chang's body. He only felt that something was burning all the way up from his abdomen, burning in his heart and throat.

His face, he only felt that his whole body was getting hot, and he did not listen to Liu Ying's words to please him. There was only one thought left in his mind: kill Mao Dun.

In that state, Liu Chang was in a daze, as if something was about to burst out of his heart. He didn't even feel the pain. When he sat in front of Han Xin and calmed down, he realized that,

At some point, one of my toes became red and swollen, probably because I kicked something, and it was itchy and painful.

Liu Chang had never been so angry in his life, and his whole body was almost bursting with anger.

"His Majesty."

"I am rude, I hope your majesty will forgive me."

When Liu Chang leaned over to salute Liu Ying, Liu Ying was stunned for a moment and hurriedly helped him up, "Brother, what are you doing...Get up...are you okay?" Liu Ying touched him worriedly.

Looking at Liu Chang's face, his eyes were full of self-blame, "Eldest brother, I swear to you that I will govern the great man well and avenge the thieves!"

Liu Chang calmly raised his head and said, "Brother, the national strength of the Han Dynasty is not yet strong enough to fight with the Huns...Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. The safest way now is to restore the strength of the Han people as soon as possible and cultivate more war horses...

.With the help of the wise men in the court, the Han Dynasty will be able to develop quickly. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years."

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Ying was startled, and then she grabbed Liu Chang's hand excitedly, "Brother! It's great that you think so! Don't worry, that day won't be too far away.

"

Liu Chang added: "Brother, although we can't take action against the Xiongnu yet... However, if we retreat blindly, the Xiongnu will despise us, and they will become more arrogant. I'm afraid that the number of plunderings of Yan and Tang Dynasties will be reduced.

There will be more.”

Liu Ying frowned and nodded, "You're right."

"The Marquis of Huaiyin told me that rashly starting a war with the Xiongnu will definitely affect the development of the Han Dynasty. However, we can use the two countries of Tang and Yan to launch a small battle to let the Xiongnu know that not everyone can bully the land of Yan and Tang.

’s... Such a small battle will not affect the current development of the Han Dynasty, what do you think, brother?"

"Small battle?"

"Yes, it is a very small-scale battle, with only a few hundred people, just to let the Huns know that we are not afraid of fighting."

Liu Ying began to think deeply, "That's good, then I will issue an edict to Tang and Yan..."

"Brother, there is no need. Let me be responsible for this matter... When I go to the Tang Dynasty in the future, I will definitely have to fight a big battle with the Xiongnu. This time, I will practice my skills in this small battle."

Seeing that Liu Chang was speaking so seriously, Liu Ying waved her hand, "Okay, I'm going to issue an edict. You will be responsible for this counterattack. However, eldest brother...it can only be a small battle, but you can't mess around!

"

"Don't worry, second brother, when have I lied to you? It's definitely a small battle!"

Hearing these words, Liu Ying, who originally had great trust in Liu Chang, was suddenly shaken. He thought for a moment and said, "Let Ji Bu come and help you do this."

"good!"

Liu Chang replied without thinking.

Liu Chang left the palace with the emperor's edict.

Ji Bu had been waiting at the door for a long time. The emperor had already sent someone to tell him about the counterattack. Ji Bu frowned, not knowing what to think about.

After seeing Liu Chang come out, Ji Bu bowed and saluted.

Liu Chang also hurriedly returned the gift. Liu Chang had heard of Ji Bu's name a long time ago, but Liu Chang did not expect that his mother would arrange for him to be his benefactor. This person is simply an enhanced version.

Luan Bu was upright, kept his promises, and was very good at fighting. Liu Chang learned how good he was the day before yesterday, and none of the three great warriors were his enemies in one round.

Among all the swordsmen Liu Chang met, this one was probably the only one who could compete with Gai Gong.

Moreover, he even dared to hit himself, which made Liu Chang a little angry. However, thinking of his strength, Liu Chang still responded with a kind smile. You will have to be old one day, just wait for you! When you are old.

..Oh, no, wait until I am older and see how I beat you!

Liu Chang got into the car and said, "Go to Prime Minister Xiao's residence."

Ji Bu drove for him and suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Luan Bu?"

"Luan Bu went to contact a good brother of mine."

"Good brother? Who is this noble person?"

"Well... he is just a good friend and confidant, and the relationship is very good."

"What's his last name?"

"Why are you asking so many questions!"

"What about Zhang Buyi?"

"He went to Yan State."

"Where is Duke Zhao?"

"Going to Zhao Han and other countries."

Ji Bu was stunned, "Didn't Your Majesty talk about a small battle? Why do you still want to go to Zhao, Han and other countries??"

"Oh, it's just a small battle. The Tang Dynasty doesn't have many war horses, so I asked them to borrow horses from various countries."

As they talked, they arrived at Xiao Mansion.

After getting off the car, Ji Bu accompanied Liu Chang into the prime minister's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Xiao Yan hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty!"

Liu Chang smiled and said, "Is your father here?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, let's go!"

Xiao Yan took Liu Chang's hand and walked directly into the inner room without warning. Since the death of Emperor Taizu, Xiao He basically didn't see outsiders. He thanked guests behind closed doors and spent the whole day tinkering with new laws in the house.

The method is constantly being improved. Today, the big man is continuing to move forward according to what Xiao Xiang wants. Xiao Xiang's mood has also become good, and he is happy all day long.

But when he saw Liu Chang walking into the inner room with a smile on his face, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Alas... Your Majesty..."

Liu Chang completely ignored the unwelcome look on Xiao He's face, and sat in front of Xiao He with a smile, "Long time no see, Father Zhong, how are you?" After saying that, he picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite, "

Um, it’s not very delicious. Next time I will bring the fruit from Heyanghou Mansion to Father Zhong, it’s really delicious.”

Xiao He put down the bamboo slips in his hand helplessly, "Your Majesty, come here, what can I do?"

"Father Zhong, now that you are no longer in office, why do you stay in the house all day? Why don't you go out to travel in the mountains and rivers, which is better for your health. I heard that there is a Mafu Mountain in Zhao State. The beautiful scenery on the mountain is really amazing.

....”

"The king wants to trick me into going to the Kingdom of Zhao and be responsible for the logistics of the war for the king?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Father Zhong is so wise! Father Zhong's wisdom is unmatched by anyone..."

"Your Majesty...I already know about the affairs of the court."

"However, your Majesty should know that this is the enemy's plan to provoke the generals. Now is not a good time to send troops. The Han Dynasty still needs to develop..."

"I know... Father Zhong didn't know... Before my father passed away, he hugged me and told me not to make my mother angry and to protect the family... Of course I knew this was a provocation.

, but whether it’s public or private, this battle must be fought, and it must be won.”

"Ever since my uncle, a foolish and wise king, was besieged by the Xiongnu because he was greedy for power and advanced rashly, my officials in the Han Dynasty have been extremely afraid of the Xiongnu. There are many tribes outside the Great Wall, and they are fighting against the Xiongnu, but they have been slow to

They refused to form an alliance with the Han because they did not believe that the Han had the strength to fight against the Xiongnu."

"Modun is also testing this time... If we don't fight back, the Huns' plundering will only become more frequent... The people of the Central Plains may be able to develop stably, but what about our people in the Tang Kingdom? Yan

Where are the people of the state? Where are the people of the Zhao state? Do they deserve to be robbed?!"

"I, a big man, do not have the strength to fight a full-scale war with the Huns, and the Huns do not have such strength... I have a good brother from outside the Great Wall. He once told me that there are many contradictions within the Huns. They are made up of many tribes united to fight. Language

The customs are completely different, and the Huns are very harsh on other tribes...Modun is currently clearing out the nobles of other tribes in the country..."

"Brother has issued an edict and asked me to take charge of this battle. If Father Zhong is not willing to help me...then I have to rely on myself. If the army is defeated due to food and logistics problems, there will be heavy casualties, and the Han Dynasty is on the verge of defeat.

It is all your fault, Father Zhong! How can you bear it, Father Zhong?! Have all the books you have read over the years been in vain?!"

Listening to Liu Chang shamelessly pointing the finger at Xiao He and yelling curses, Ji Bu turned red, fidgeted and hurriedly cleared his throat.

Liu Chang then said sincerely: "Please help me, Father Zhong! I won't use too many troops, and I won't mobilize people on a large scale..."

...........

After leaving Xiao He's house, Ji Bu drove his car and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, you are doing this... I don't know what to say... You are the one who insists on fighting, but if something goes wrong, Prime Minister Xiao will be responsible... Prime Minister Xiao almost took action just now

Well... not to mention that Prime Minister Xiao is old, and you still want him to go to Zhao State to be responsible for your logistics... Isn't this a bit too much?"

"Your Majesty... Among all the princes, your territory is the largest and the people under your rule are the largest. You should set an example for all princes in the world. You said it was a small battle to Your Majesty, but now it seems that you are

Sending people to contact various princes, sending people to contact people outside the wall, and needing Xiao Xianglai to guard the rear, this is not like a small battle... Your Majesty, how many people do you want to use?"

"King?"

Before Liu Chang could answer, Ji Bu turned his head suspiciously and saw that the car was empty, with Liu Chang nowhere to be seen.
