Liu Xie said he needed a night's rest, but he was just talking and pretending to be relaxed.
It's probably the first battle out of the country, so how can we rest peacefully?
The preparations for the war are still waiting for him to arrange.
During dinner, Liu Xie called several generals over and discussed the matter of facing the battle while eating cakes.
It is still uncertain whether the Huns are definitely in the desert, but in the spirit of preparedness, be prepared for anything.
The captain of the Zhao Cavalry School, Wang Fu, rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
"The soil is as frozen as iron, the camp fence cannot be erected, and trenches cannot be dug. How can we solve this problem?"
"Is this still strong?" Zhang Xiu immediately started the mocking mode. "You have never seen the twelfth lunar month in winter, so that's called strong."
Wang Fu ignored him and pretended not to hear.
After leaving the Great Wall, he, a native of Guan, was often teased by Zhang Xiu, a native of Liangzhou. At first, he was not convinced and had a few words with Zhang Xiu. Later, after seeing the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, he was not in the same mood to talk to Zhang Xiu.
The embroidery was very difficult.
It's a trivial matter to humiliate yourself. If you were tricked by him and you dug into the frozen soil overnight, you would be hacked to death by his angry subordinates.
Liu Xie was holding a glass of water, his eyelids drooping, and he ignored their fight.
A big shot once said that an imperial general is like raising a dog. He must have a few wolves or Tibetan mastiffs, otherwise he will become a pig and lifeless.
Zhang Xiu is very suitable to be a wolf.
In comparison, Zhang Yang is too gentle, like a glass of warm water.
It's a pity that the king's server is not confident enough to face Zhang Xiu head-on. This makes him a little worried, can the king's server be competent?
Seeing that Wang Fu was silent, Liu Xie tapped his finger on the copper cup, and there was a soft "ding" sound, and the lingering sound lingered.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Xiu immediately closed his mouth and looked at the emperor seriously.
"Can people leave the lake?" Liu Xie raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Xiu quietly.
While washing his face by the lake, he saw thick ice.
Zhang Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head. "There is nothing wrong with the center of the lake, but there may be something wrong with it on the edge of the lake, which is a little loose."
"Is there a solution?"
Zhang Xiu was slightly startled. "Your Majesty is worried that the Huns will launch a sneak attack from the ice? This possibility is extremely small. It is not the middle of winter now, so even if you can leave, you cannot leave."
"Be prepared." Liu Xie asked again. "Is there a way to solve it?"
Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be careless and thought about it carefully. "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard from the old people in the army that you can let the lighter people go on the ice first, find the thick place, pull up the rope, or lay down the ice."
Use cowhide or sheepskin to pull people up to prevent them from falling into the water."
"Having people lie down on the ice can also reduce the possibility of stepping on the ice." Zhang Yang added.
Wang Fu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
Liu Xie was not surprised at all.
Where water and soil support a person, people's wisdom for survival is infinite, which is sometimes difficult for outsiders to believe.
"Is there any way to prevent it?" Liu Xie turned to look at Zhang Yang.
"Yes, Ding Shijun used a method when he fought with the Huns." Zhang Yang put down the food in his hand, rubbed it on his shirt again, and sat up straight. "The Huns have many bows and few crossbows. Most of them
The shooting range is all within a hundred steps. Cut through the ice as much as possible within a hundred steps of the shore, and then set up powerful crossbows on the shore. When the enemy falls into the water, or huddles together, you can kill them calmly."
Liu Xie thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Xiu again. "Is it possible?"
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Yang with a hint of surprise. He was unable to answer Liu Xie's question for a moment. After he came to his senses, he quickly nodded in agreement.
"It's feasible, it's feasible."
"Then each battalion should handle it accordingly and don't let the Huns take advantage of it."
"only."
"Is there anything else we need to pay attention to? You don't have to be scrupulous and speak out boldly."
Xun You sat aside, watching the emperor and the generals discuss how to defend against the enemy, taking their time and feeling a little strange in his heart.
There was surprise, admiration, and some uneasiness.
He originally thought that during the Battle of Huayin, the emperor's formation to kill Li Jue was purely an accident. Li Jue and Guo Si's various calculations resulted in the emperor's shocking blow, which could only be met but not sought.
But now, he thinks that may not be the case.
Even if Li Jue and Guo Si were not suspicious of each other, the emperor would still have a chance to win.
The opportunity for the emperor to kill Li Jue was originally obtained by Dong Cheng and Yang Feng who withstood Guo Si and Li Wei's attacks.
Dong Cheng and Yang Feng were able to withstand the attack precisely because they adopted the opinions of their subordinates, just as the emperor consulted Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yang and others at this moment.
Concentrating the little knowledge of ordinary soldiers can produce unexpected power and defeat seemingly invincible enemies. This is a proven successful experience.
Li Jue is like this, and the Huns will not be an exception.
He couldn't help but wonder, if Zhang Jiao and others could do the same back then, would the imperial court still be able to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
Although he felt that comparing the Emperor to Zhang Jiao was a bit absurd, he still couldn't help but think so.
In fact, the emperor did not hide his interest in the Taiping Jing, but there was no one in Baibo's army who was familiar with the Taiping Jing, so no one could discuss it.
What would happen if one day the emperor gained the support of the old Yellow Turbans?
Could this be the change between ancient and modern times that the Emperor mentioned?
Xun You didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help himself from thinking about it.
"Gongda?"
"Huh?" Xun You woke up and looked at Liu Xie blankly.
"Do you have anything else to add?"
Xun You looked around and realized that the discussion had ended at some point.
"I was distracted for a moment. I hope your majesty will forgive me." Xun You said as he reached for Pei Jun's records and browsed them quickly.
Liu Xie smiled but said nothing.
Xun You has been distracted a lot lately and doesn't know what he's thinking.
Xun You read it quickly and thought about it for a moment. "What you have said is very thoughtful. I just want to say that our army is going on a thousand-mile expedition and it is not easy to supply. Success or failure does not only depend on the outcome of a certain battle, but also on countless
Comprehensive considerations in combat. Therefore, we must not only win the battle, but also achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. We must strive to support the war with war, and we must not be happy for a while.”
Xun You looked back at Liu Xie, who nodded slightly in agreement.
Xun You went on to say: "I know that all of you have the ambition to conquer the desert with Wei Huo. But your Majesty's personal expedition is not just to make achievements, but to fight for a chance for the survival of the Han Dynasty. Now is not the great power of Wei Huo back then.
The Han Dynasty does not have seventy years of savings to use, nor can it produce hundreds of thousands of elites. The gentlemen here and the three thousand elites outside the tent are the last hope of the Han Dynasty. If it can be revived, it will be all thanks to the merits of all the gentlemen.
, will definitely be no worse than the generals of Yuntai."
Zhang Xiu and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The situation is not optimistic. It's not that they are unclear, they just don't want to think too much.
Xun You paused for a moment, and finally said: "Two people work together, and their sharpness can cut through metal. Three thousand people work together, and they will be able to dominate the world. Lords, work hard! You will live up to your life, and you will live up to your majesty."
Zhang Yang's eyes were wet and he bowed to salute.
"I hope it will be as the servant said."
Zhang Xiu and Wang Fu were also very excited and followed suit.
Zhang Xiu said loudly: "I am willing to work with your Majesty to defeat the Xiongnu and pacify Bingliang."
