Although he slept very late, Liu Xie still woke up on time and woke up from a nightmare.
He dreamed that Baima Tong led 100,000 cavalry to attack. Countless Hun cavalry advanced along the river valley like a tide. Wherever he went, people were rolling and blood was flowing all over the ground.
The white horse, riding a divine white horse, rushed to him like clouds and mist, and threw a head over.
The man shouted, "Your Majesty save me, Your Majesty save me."
When I looked closely, it was Yang Xiu who was ordered to go on a mission.
Liu Xie was shocked and sweated coldly. He found that it was a dream, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
I am very tired and want to sleep for a while.
But he only stayed for a short while and then struggled to get up.
The danger has not passed yet, and nightmares may come true at any time.
Hearing the movement of the inner tent, Li Hu, the minister of the Hu Ben, walked in, waited for Liu Xie to dress and wash, and explained while doing: "Cai Lingshi has been busy in the middle of the night, has just rested and has not woken up yet."
Liu Xie glanced at him in confusion, a little confused.
"Ling Shi only records his daily life notes and is not responsible for my daily life."
Li Hu was stunned for a moment. "But... I heard that last night, I ordered Shi to take care of His Majesty to bed."
Liu Xie frowned slightly.
He had no impression of it at all. After talking to Zhang Yang and Wang Fu yesterday, his mind was almost out of reach.
Was Cai Yan the one who served him to bed?
"Is there any news? What's going on in the camp?"
"No news." Li Hu immediately became excited. "? The head of the fallen hangs out, and the Huns were so scared that they were very quiet today. The right wise king of the Huns came several times and kept moving outside the camp, not daring to do so. Come in."
Liu Xie smiled secretly.
Just be nervous, just try to show them this battle.
What the Huns did not do, the Han people not only did it, but also did it neatly.
"Where is the Xiongnu Khan?"
“At the door of the tent.”
"At the door of the tent?"
"It's said that he was guarding the tent for His Majesty. It's really a joke. Your Majesty has us guarding him, so what's the point of asking him?"
Liu Xie put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. Sure enough, he saw Hu Chuquan.
Hu Chuquan was wearing armor and a long knife around his waist. He stood in front of the tent and stomped his feet gently. Seeing Liu Xie, he rushed over, bowed and bowed, with a humble attitude.
"The foreign minister called Chuquan and saw Your Majesty."
"Xianyu, how did you become a guard?" Liu Xie said while moving his body.
I didn't sleep well yesterday and my muscles and bones were sore.
Hu Chuquan smiled all over his face. "In front of Your Majesty, how dare the foreign ministers regard themselves as Shanyu? If it weren't for Your Majesty's help, the foreign ministers would be the dog of a family. Now Your Majesty killed the traitor in a battle? Only then can the foreign ministers have a family. The foreign ministers are willing to be forever As your majesty, he will serve your majesty."
Liu Xie smiled slightly, but did not answer Hu Chuquan's words.
Huchuquan is a puppet. What he said doesn’t matter, but the attitude of the real power faction is meaningful.
Of course, the attitude of the people who are waiting for others is not important.
They only have two choices: either be a dog or behead.
He would not leave easily without solving the problem of the Huns.
The breakfast was very rich, with goat's milk, beef, and a bowl of meat soup.
The captured cattle and sheep allowed the Han army to let go of their stomachs and eat meat happily for a few days.
They do not have the habit of marching cattle and sheep, and at most they bring some fumigation meat as dry food. Once the enemy attacks or finds the enemy's traces, they will leave here, and they can only give up the cattle and sheep that cannot be eaten.
After breakfast, Liu Xie summoned Shangshu Ling Pei Mao to inquire about the gains of the battle.
Pei Mao was in a very good mood.
The Han army won a great victory, especially the Arctic Cavalry established its authority in the battle, and the effect exceeded expectations. In the future, Pei Qian would definitely be on the list.
He reported to Liu Xie about the damage and gains of war.
The soldiers suffered not much loss, only more than ten people were killed in battle, less than a hundred people were seriously injured, and the rest were all skin injuries, which would heal in a few days.
The war horses suffered a lot of losses, but compared to the seized war horses, it was not worth mentioning.
Speaking of war horses, Pei Mao couldn't hide his excitement and raised his palm to shake it. "All five thousand horses are real war horses. Even if it counts as ten thousand yuan per horse, it is more than fifty million."
Liu Xie was also very happy.
The Central Plains lack war horses. A real war horse can be sold for 100,000 yuan, and more than 5,000 war horses cost 500 million yuan.
The taxes in Bingzhou totaled less than 500 million yuan.
Think about it a few months ago, he couldn't even pay the salary of ministers and ministers. The 500 million yuan was a huge sum of money. No wonder Pei Mao lost his composure.
Therefore, the fastest way to get rich is to rob, make a fortune, or even a business without money.
"Let me, I have a plan."
"What are your plans?"
"If the Wuyuan, Shuofang counties are restored, Hanhu military farming and grazing, and the exchange of livestock products with the Central Plains is insufficient, is it feasible?"
Pei Mao pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly. "Your Majesty said, educate the Huns, form households for our Han Dynasty, and turn them into counties?"
Liu Xie nodded. "What do you think?"
"How will Your Majesty deal with the Huns' Khan?"
"Enjoy the marquis and enjoy wealth."
"Where are the leaders of all departments?"
Liu Xie lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "Those who obey are generals, and those who do not obey are punished."
Pei Mao nodded. "It is feasible, but you can't be anxious. Fighting will change."
"Let me draw a strategy and discuss it at that time." Liu Xie raised a smile on his lips.
He guessed that Pei Mao would not object. The young and strong sect is the young and strong sect, not those old ministers with a deep temper.
Seeing that Pei Mao promised so readily, he probably had similar considerations before.
"Which." Pei Mao bowed and took the order.
"Pick some war horses to Taiyuan, go to Shangdang, and send some cattle to Hedong. Spring plowing is about to be used, and the cattle can be used."
"Please rest assured that I will make arrangements properly and not waste a cattle and sheep." Pei Mao was full of confidence. "Your Majesty, besides cattle, horses and sheep, the captives of the Huns are also useful. I think it is possible to set up a commander of the farm to supervise the captives to grazle,
For farming, the imperial court acquired it at a price and traded it with Hedong and Taiyuan."
Liu Xie was just right. He and he were about to talk about this, but Pei Mao and him thought of going together.
"Lingjun, let me say it in detail."
Pei Mao asked for it and talked freely.
"In the past, the imperial court opened border markets, but the interests were all obtained by the Xiongnu and Xianbei leaders. They were not grateful, but instead thought that the imperial court was weak, rebelled and threatened the imperial court. If they could control the border markets and make ordinary Huns profitable, they could suppress them.
The Xiongnu, the Xianbei leader is a big shot and can lure the Xiongnu. The Xianbei people will kill two birds with one stone."
Liu Xie felt it was reasonable and nodded frequently.
"It's just that, Your Majesty may have to stay in Meiji for a longer time."
“Why?”
"If the tiger snatches food from the mouth, we must naturally prevent the evil tiger from hurting people." Pei Mao smiled and said, "Only if Your Majesty is in charge of Meiji and is not convinced in the conquest, the Huns and Xianbei tribes will bow their heads and dare not act rashly."
Liu Xie looked at Pei Mao and was suspicious.
Is this a coincidence and coincidence? Or did Pei Mao guess his idea and deliberately welcome it?
I have to say that this is exactly what he expected.
