Under the stimulation of Han Sui's heavy rewards, tens of thousands of troops launched active preparations despite the approaching year.
Thousands of soldiers were arranged to log wood on nearby mountains to create siege equipment, while others were trained in the army to prepare for the siege.
At the invitation of Han Sui, Liu Xie led his subordinates to inspect the battalions and inspect the preparations of each battalion.
Guo Wu, Zhao Yun and other scattered cavalry attendants followed the rules, and Ma Yunlu and Han Shaoying from the women's camp also brought several female knights with outstanding training results. When they saw the legendary female knights up close, many soldiers watched them straight.
I looked at it. Most of these people are not well educated and have a little awe of the emperor. They are not so polite to these female knights, just like a wolf almost drool when he sees a sheep.
Ma Yunlu was quite calm, but Han Shaoying was annoyed and said to Han Sui directly, "What kind of soldiers are you practicing?"
Han Sui was a little embarrassed by his daughter's face, but because the emperor was ahead, he couldn't say much.
After the inspection, he returned to the Central Army's tent. Han then asked Liu Xie to sit down and prepare to report on the preparations for the siege. Taking advantage of the gap, he pulled Han Shaoying aside and took care of him, so as not to say rudely again later and refuse to give him a message.
He saves face.
Han Shaoying gave him a blank look. "Face is earned by yourself. I can save face for you, but I am afraid you can't take it."
Han Sui couldn't help but get angry. "Do you really think you women can fight?"
Han Shaoying sneered: "Why don't you try it? You pick fifty people, I pick fifty people, literary tests, martial tests, infantry and cavalry warfare, you can choose it."
Han Sui stared at Han Shaoying, and was a little confused for a moment. "Are you so powerful?"
"I dare not say that I am powerful, I must be much stronger than your mobs." Han Shaoying said: "A true elite must be aware of military discipline. Even if there is a blade in front, you will advance when you hear the drum. Even if there is a thousand gold in front, you will retreat when you hear the gold.
Look at you guys, you forget the rules when you see a few young women. Can such people still fight?"
Han Sui's eyebrows frowned slightly.
He felt that what Han Shaoying said was not completely unreasonable, but he felt that his ideal was inadequate. Reality was reality after all, especially the female knight was not practicing for a while. It was impossible to enforce the orders as Han Shaoying said, and it was even more impossible to defeat his soldiers.
Although these soldiers are not elite, they are also veterans who have been fighting for many years. How could they lose to the female knight who has only been in the camp for several months?
"Shaoying, I know you have made great progress recently, but you can't be arrogant." Han Sui said earnestly: "The battlefield is going to die. How many of you female knights have you killed people and seen blood? Even if you practice it normally
No matter how good it is, when I get on the battlefield, I smell the smell of blood, and it is hard to say whether I can still lift the knife."
Han Shaoying disagreed.
Time was in a hurry, and Han Sui couldn't say much and hurriedly entered the account.
More than a dozen soldiers carried them into a huge wooden table and carefully lifted the cloth covered on it, revealing a topographic map made of rice.
Liu Xie's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile.
Han Sui saw it clearly and was happy. He prepared for a long time just for this moment.
"What is this?" Han Shaoying asked in surprise.
Ma Yunlu glanced at Han Sui, who was satisfied, and said quietly: "Uncle Wen Yue is worthy of being a scholar. He actually learned the story of General Fu Bo from the book and made this way to make a mountain of rice."
"Put the rice into the mountain?" Han Shaoying looked confused. "Which book is from?"
Ma Yunlu chuckled softly and said, "You can tell at a glance that Sister Yuan was distracted when she was teaching. What a pity Uncle Wen Yue's efforts."
Han Shaoying curled his lips.
Liu Xie could hear it clearly and couldn't help but secretly claim to be strange. Yuan Quan could actually talk about these things? He pressed the curiosity in his heart and chuckled softly: "Han Qing, I'm afraid many people don't know which one you are doing. It's better than you
Tell me about the origin?"
Han Sui was in a state of mind, cleared his throat, and took Ma Yuan into a mountain to explain the situation to Emperor Guangwu.
The generals in the tent suddenly realized and were deeply impressed.
Only Wei Wei Ma Teng looked embarrassed.
He always boasted of himself as the descendants of General Fubo, but Han Sui learned the glorious deeds of his ancestors, but he looked at them in a dark way. He didn't know what was going on, so he was so embarrassed.
Han Sui pretended not to see him and bowed and said, "Please beg your Majesty and let your son Han Yin explain the situation of Kuanghan to Your Majesty."
"Yes." Liu Xie said lightly.
Han Sui immediately gave Han Yin a wink. Han Yin stood up, walked to the emperor, bowed and bowed, then took the jingtou, and began to explain the situation of Kuohan and the plan to attack the city.
He spoke very thoroughly and must have made full preparations. He was just a little nervous, his voice was dry, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Liu Xie listened very seriously, his face was calm, and he couldn't tell too much emotion. After Han Yin finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Han Qing has a good idea to teach his children."
Han Sui was nervous. The emperor's words can be understood as being satisfied with the plan Han Yin said or not. Instead, he felt that his intention to let his son show his face was too deliberate.
"Please also ask your Majesty to correct me."
"I'm just here and I'm not familiar with the situation of Kuanghan, so I won't argue." Liu Xie turned around and looked around. "You guys should have many locals, so why don't you talk about your opinions? Since it's a discussion, the person who speaks is not guilty.
, there is no scope. Geography, astronomy, and people's sentiments can all be spoken freely. Han Qing, what do you think?"
Han Yin looked at Han Sui with guilt.
He prepared very well, but only for the siege plan. He felt that the emperor was here for the first time and should not ask too tricky questions. He never expected that the emperor would ask others to ask questions. If he couldn't answer, wouldn't it be embarrassing to answer the questions?
?
Han Sui was also guilty, but could not refuse. "It was only your Majesty's order."
"Who will come first?" Liu Xie looked at the generals with a smile.
The generals under Han Sui were afraid of making things difficult for Han Yin, so they didn't dare to ask questions. When they were embarrassed, Ma Teng coughed: "General Zhenxi, I have a question."
Han Suiqiang smiled and said, "Please give me advice."
"As you said, how long will it take to take down Kuohan, and how many soldiers will be killed or killed?"
Han Sui did not think. "The siege equipment was made for half a month and the siege was half a month. According to the number of 3,000 defenders in the city, the casualties should be between 10,000 and 15,000. According to the convention, about seven or eight injured people were injured.
If you succeed, you will die."
Ma Teng immediately asked, "Who will be the main force of the siege?"
Han Sui closed his mouth and his eyes became cold.
Ma Teng's words seem ordinary, but in fact they are very lethal.
The siege should be dominated by infantry, and among the various counties, the most infantry soldiers are Longxi and Hanyang counties, and the Jincheng counties are mainly cavalry. There is little chance of going to the battle, at least it will not be the main force in the early siege.
.
This was a very normal arrangement, but after Ma Teng asked the number of casualties and asked this question again, it would easily make people feel that Han Sui wanted the county soldiers in Longxi and Hanyang to die and achieve his personal achievements.
Hanyang and Longxi were originally Ma Teng's territory. These people were more familiar with Ma Teng and were always very excluded from his intervention. With such thoughts, their hostility was naturally stronger.
Looking at Han Sui who was in a dilemma, Liu Xie sighed in his heart.
After all, he was too selfish and could understand the geographical situation around Yusan, but he could not calm the hearts of Liangzhou.
