Yun Xiao is teasing the little girl at home, and this girl is now working hard to learn to crawl. This most primitive human skill is not so easy to exercise, and Xiao Yunmi has fallen from Xiaobai's body three times. This time, she grabbed Xiaobai's ear. With great difficulty, he dragged the leopard's ears and rode on the head of the beast, shouting and cheering for victory.

As soon as Xiaobai lowered his head, the little guy fell off Xiaobai's head. was caught by Yun Xiao, and played Xiaobai with a brain breakdown, and actually dared to fall Lao Tzu's baby girl. Xiaobai shook his head dissatisfiedly and decided to go to sleep beside the manniu. I can't live this day, and the little guy who can't climb well actually dares to ride on Lao Tzu's head. After being beaten when he couldn't ride well, Xiaobai decided to go to Manniu to comfort his injured heart.

"It's all said, don't let you take your child to play with Xiaobai. In the end, it is a beast, what to do if it hurts the child. ”

Luan Ling took over her daughter from Yun Xiao, and the old man is not practical with the child. I've never seen anyone with a child playing with a leopard, and it's scary to die if you say it.

"It's okay, Xiaobai knows that this is our child. It hurts, others pinch their ears and try it, even the family members slap it. If it was an outsider, he would have been bitten to death N times a long time ago. It's not like you don't see it biting. ”

Yun Xiao looked indifferent and wanted to take his daughter over.

"Master Hou, Gonggong Cang is here to deliver a decree. Hurry up and get the order. ”

Dai Yu's voice came from outside the door.

Cang Jingkong, what is he here to do. Could it be that Liu Qi is looking for himself again? No, I'm hibernating. The farther away from this tuberculosis patient, the better. Don't dare to approach what to do if you get infected.

"Old, what is your majesty looking for me?"

As long as Cang Jingkong came to the Yun family to announce the decree, Yun Xiao did not have the habit of receiving the decree seriously.

"This old slave doesn't know, only that His Majesty Xià convened a meeting of the Prime Minister, Zhou Taiwei, and Dou Taifu in the Chengguang Palace. As a result, I don't know why, Father-in-law Qiandu hurriedly came out and asked me to send you to Tangquan Palace to see the driver. ”

Seeing the driver in Tangquan Palace, is it related to their meeting?

"What are they meeting for?"

"Gee, what else could it be. Naturally, it was the matter of the Hun Da Shan Yu asking to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, and the palace people waiting in the Chengguang Palace were all driven out. Only Qiandu was waiting inside, so what the hell did it say. The old slave didn't know either. Hurry up and get in the car. Don't call it Majesty Xià etc. His Majesty's temper has not been good lately, so don't talk nonsense. ”

Yun Xiao hurriedly changed into a court uniform and climbed into the carriage with difficulty. Towards the Yuquan Palace.

"Chen Yunxiao greets His Majesty."

Yun Xiao saluted to Liu Qi, who was high above.

"Excuse me, get up."

Yun Xiao straightened up. I saw Liu She, Dou Ying, and Zhou Yafu kneeling on both sides. All three of them are big men in the court. Yun Xiao was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what the princess's marriage to the Huns had to do with him.

"Yunxiao. You spent some time in the Huns. You must know the situation of the Xiongnu, and you can tell me what methods you can use to repel the Xiongnu's offenses. ”

Liu Qi sat on the soft couch with thick pillows on both sides and behind him.

It turned out to be asking this. Yun Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this problem is not only himself, but also has a lot of discussion among future generations of post bar friends, it shouldn't be a problem.

"If you want to solve the problem of the Xiongnu disturbing the border, you must completely change the current situation of passive defense. Large-scale training of cavalry units to fight in the steppe desert. Because the Han-Hungarian border was very long, with the mobility of the Hun cavalry, they could quickly concentrate their forces to break through at one point. A well-trained cavalry can often march a hundred miles, or even more, day and night.

During the Battle of Gaoyou, the cavalry of the minister once marched 120 miles in one night.

And the foot soldiers of our Han army moved slowly, and often by the time our army reached the place where it was looted, it was already a scorched earth. Our army has become a corpse collection team and a follower, and only cavalry can maneuver against maneuver. Conduct reciprocal operations against the Xiongnu.

Cavalry must be used in the desert of the steppe, because the steppe is vast and sparsely populated. Unlike the Central Plains, the cities are densely populated, and the mobility of the cavalry can be brought into full play on the grassland. If you use foot soldiers to go deep into the grassland, I am afraid that there will be more luck than luck. ”

"Oh, tell me about it. How long does it take to train a cavalry. ”

"It's hard for this minister to say, to train cavalry, you must first have horses. This horse cannot be an ordinary horse, but a war horse. It is necessary to charge into battle without fear of danger, and move forward bravely in the sea of swords, mountains and fires. Such a horse can be used on the battlefield, and if it is a horse that is shocked by the sound of drums on the battlefield. That's just a lot of life.

The second is to train knights. As far as the minister knows, the Huns usually started riding horses at the age of five or six. It can be said that they all grew up on horseback. And most of my Han family are farmers with hoes, if they are allowed to ride horses to the battlefield, the result can be imagined.

If we concentrate the strength of our great man, it will take about six or seven years to train about 10,000 qualified cavalry. ”

Liu Qiwen frowned when he heard Yun Xiao's answer, it seems that he is really going to sacrifice one of his daughters this time.

"You mean, it will take six or seven years at the earliest for the Han to have the initial ability to resist the Xiongnu?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, what the minister said was that ten thousand qualified knights could be trained in six or seven years. And to defeat the Huns, it takes 200,000 knights, and the training of people is secondary, mainly because horses are extremely difficult to get, and it is almost impossible to get 200,000 horses under the current situation. ”

"Hmph, you mean that my Han will never be able to defeat the Huns"

Liu Qi's tone already revealed obvious dissatisfaction.

"The minister has a compromise method, which can temporarily alleviate the problem of the Han army's mobility. That is to build a chariot army, of course, not the kind of chariot of the Warring States period. The chariot soldiers mentioned by the minister were using the four-wheeled carriage of the Yun family, and the sergeant was equipped with a strong bow and crossbow on the chariot.

One can block the enemy's charge, so as not to be crushed by the enemy's charge.

Second, you can condescendingly use a bow and crossbow to kill the enemy, and the minister believes that killing and injuring the enemy from a distance is the way to win. Hand-to-hand combat is too tragic, and even if you kill a thousand enemies, you have to lose eight hundred. Such a victory can only be called a pyrrhic victory. ”

"Oh charioteer, you can drive the four-wheeled carriage you said. I want to watch. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's carriage is parked at the gate of the palace......"

"Someone came and ordered someone to drive the carriage of the Marquis of Lintong into the palace."

"No," Qiandu answered, and hurriedly went out to order.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside. Liu Qi stepped out of the Chengguang Hall with the support of Qiandu and carefully watched the Yun family's four-wheeled carriage. Originally, I only thought that the Yun family's carriage was wider, but now I found out after a closer look. These carriages had four wheels, so they didn't have to put too much burden on the horses in front of them.

Even if it is not attached to the horse, the cart can stand there and be pushed and moved by a person. Unlike two-wheeled carriages, which can no longer move a single inch as long as they are unloaded from the horse.

"Your Majesty, what we saw was for people to ride. If you want to transform it into a chariot, you only need to add a thicker wooden box board to the car. Sergeants could ride in horse-drawn carriages, although not as fast as cavalry. But at least it is much faster than the infantry, and the horses that drive them are far easier to find than the war horses. Therefore, the chariot soldiers can temporarily alleviate the problem of insufficient mobility of the Han infantry soldiers. ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed and pointed to the carriage lane: "Help me go in and sit"

"No"

Qiandu hesitated and helped Liu Qi into Yun Xiao's car, and two big men on the left and one on the right stood behind the goshawk.

The carriage ran around the Chengguang Palace, and Liu Qi praised this steady carriage.

"Hurry up, drive faster. Go out of the palace and take a walk in the fields, I want to see. ”

Zhi Du was shocked when he heard this, and quickly ordered the Yulin guards to lead the war horse.

The carriage galloped down the main road, and a large number of guarded cavalry lined the sides. The avant-garde Yulin galloped out two miles ahead, driving all the pedestrians off the roadbed to ensure the smooth flow of the road.

The four-wheeled carriage drove very smoothly on the road, and Liu Qi barely felt any bumps in the carriage.

After running a long lap, the carriage returned to the front of the Chengguang Temple.

"Okay, this thing is good. Lintong Hou, you will draw this car in a picture album. I ordered to intensify the control of the prison, I know that you are a good property, and rewarding you with a hundred hectares of fertile land is considered to have bought your method of building a car. How is it? ”

"Thank you."

Liu Qi was obviously very happy.

Dou Ying was very depressed, which was very different from his original intention. It seems that the princess's exit from the plug is a certainty, and this is not going to give this kid a little stumbling.

"Marquis of Lintong, what do you think of the Han princess's exit from the fortress and pro-Xiongnu affairs."

"And pro?"

Yun Xiao was a little confused, it seemed that Liu Qi should ask about this matter. You are a few oldest, but you look at Liu Qi's probing gaze. It's not good not to answer.

"Your Majesty will naturally have a perfect way. Yun Xiao is just a little clever, and it is better to ask Wei Qihou to help His Majesty with such a major event in the court. ”

A ball is kicked back for you completely, and a fool would take a stand on such a thing.

"Uh......"

Dou Ying was suffocated for a while, he had calculated everything, but he didn't expect Yun Xiao to answer like this.

"Slippery head. Go and draw a pattern for me. ”

Liu Qi was in a better mood, and from the four-wheeled carriage, he saw a glimmer of hope for defeating the Huns.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a group of Hun knights under the Marquis of Lintong. At the beginning, Luan Bu also told his ministers that the Marquis of Lintong knew the Xiongnu language. Why not let the Marquis of Lintong as a representative of the imperial court negotiate peace with the Xiongnu envoys. In this way, at least in terms of verbal communication, there will be no mistakes. ”

Dou Ying hurriedly ordered another pair of bad medicines, in short, it didn't count into your bones. This kid is too slippery and witty, if he hooks up with King Liang or other princes. Maybe things will change, so it's better to find an opportunity to get rid of them.

"Yes, I ordered Lintong Hou Yunxiao to be the special envoy. Communicate with the Xiongnu envoys. ”

The update is wrong, and I ask for your forgiveness. Chapter 33 "Dou Ying's Poisonous Plan" has been changed. In order to express his apology, the dragon king could only add more. Dragon King once again sincerely apologizes to all book friends. (To be continued......)
