Yes, it is to form a new empire, absolutely not misheard, it is the word "empire", without any prefix in front of it. To put it more clearly, Lu Zhe originally wanted to use the Chinese Empire or the Chinese Empire, but not only was the Qin State dissatisfied, but even the Zhao State felt confused, and the two alternate country names "disappeared" before they officially appeared in the public eye.

In addition, Lu Zhe originally wanted to continue the country name "Han", that is, the Han Empire, but the Qin State and the Zhao State were rarely tough, saying that it was a merged country or not a prominent country name.

According to the opinions of the rest of the Han State, the Han army is fully capable of destroying the disobedient in the form of violence, since the Qin State and the Zhao State are crooked, then simply use the army to fight until they agree, or directly destroy the Qin State and the Zhao State.

Lu Zhe has his own ideas, if he wants to use the army to destroy the Qin State and the Zhao State, he doesn't need to carry out any merger at the beginning, he just wants to preserve some vitality so that he can maintain his strength and expand outward in the future, otherwise where will there be so much trouble.

In the end, Lu Zhe simply jokingly said that it would be better to call it an empire, if it is according to the words of some modern people, it is "crazy Kuba hanging and blowing up the sky", surprisingly the Han State agreed that the name "Emperor" was very good, and Fusu of Qin State and Zhao Xie of Zhao State also agreed to use the name "Emperor", and the result was preliminarily decided.

As the initiator of Lu Zhe, he was so annoyed that he would talk nonsense casually, but he didn't expect to get unanimous approval, but he was dumbfounded.

It is very important to know what slogans to use in Chinese civilization, that is, it needs a continuity and legitimacy. Continuity refers to the ancestral surname, or the region in which the regime arose. And legitimacy is the heir to which ancient capital the ruler belongs, and the ancient can be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or the Xia and Shang Cycle.

After strict calculation, Lu Zheneng set the country name as "Lu", which is a continuation of the surname. He can also set the country name as a rising region, and even directly take the country name "Qin". After all, he is from Qindi.

The problem is that even if Lu Zhe is willing to learn from the "Tian Clan Dai Qi" to make a "Lu Clan Dai Qin", the Zhao family of the genuine Qin State is a vague welcome and eagerness, but the problem is that Lu Zhe's subordinates are not willing at all, and even Zhao Guo also said that it is unacceptable.

The "Imperial" country, a country name generated by jokes, is widely accepted, and most people on the Han side belong to the kind of people who "don't learn and don't know how to do it", and Lu Zhe himself is also one of the people who take the country name and don't study it. However, the Confucian scholars of Shusun Tong and Lu Jia or other schools of scholars "know history", but the problem is that they do not have much right to speak.

Under various factors, if there is no accident, "Empire" is very likely to become their future national name, and Lu Zhe can only say that he has no choice but to change his words. After all, no matter how ridiculous the country name is, it was first said from him. He seems to think it's not bad to call it an empire, it sounds a little "high" flavor, as for whether it's too spoofed, there are more spoofs in history than this.

In general, it is relatively smooth, but there are small accidents in some things, such as the emergence of a "new Qi country" in Guangyang County and Hengshan County, and the Hu people who went south are also more sensitive.

Lu Zhe didn't take the "New Qi Kingdom" seriously, the once vast Tian Dan Qi Kingdom was solved within half a year, so where could the Tian Jian Qi Kingdom, which only had a total strength of about 200,000 troops, jump to?

"Tian Jian had better be smarter. Don't resist uselessly, or you don't mind killing them as 'chickens' to the 'monkeys' in the locality. Lu Zhe said that in an extremely flat tone.

In fact, Lu Zhe is a bit "putting the cart before the horse", Tian Jian has an army of 200,000, and those guys who are ready to move in the local area are at most entangled with 10,000 or 20,000 rabble.

Those rabble have something to do with Chen Sheng. They were some people who originally followed Chen Sheng, and after Chen Sheng returned to the Han Kingdom, those people set up their own mountains, perhaps to establish a foundation. It is also very likely that he wants to learn from Chen Sheng, and after he develops and grows, he will let Han Guo recruit peace.

Lu Zhe was not interested in learning from the Song Dynasty, and whoever occupied the mountain as the king recruited peace, and gave those thieves an official position or something, which was an act of encouraging civil rebellion in disguise. He prefers to let the bandits surrender unconditionally, and if the bandits surrender, they will be dealt with according to the law, and it will not take much effort to completely exterminate them without surrendering, and they can justifiably send prisoners of war to the outside of Cyprus for emigration.

As the ruler of the Han State, Lu Zhe didn't take Tian Jian's new Qi State seriously, and his subordinates didn't pay attention to it, for example, Kuaitong also briefly introduced the situation of Guangyang County and Hengshan County, and the topic immediately turned to the Hu people who went south.

"The group of Hu people who went north has arrived in Fushi, where there are the people they plundered and plundered from Qin, and it is also the last settlement point of the Hu people in Qindi County, and there is no more city in the north." Kuaitong kept pointing up the hanging map as he spoke: "We expect that this group of Hu people will continue to march north by next spring at the latest, and Taiwei (Sima Xin) thinks that the Fifth Cavalry Corps in the clouds can be deployed to Woye first, so as to strengthen the strength of our army in the Woye area, and let the Second Mixed Army Corps and the Third Mixed Army carry out the task of blocking the Hu people in the north." ”

Regarding some areas outside the Saiwai, the Chinese ethnic groups in those places actually don't know what they are called, and some of the official titles used by the Han State are from Lu Zhe, and some are officially recognized by the repeated titles of front-line generals.

"The Second Mixed Legion and the Third Mixed Legion can ride horses, but they can only ride horses, and they can't ride across war horses without professional training, is it sure that they can fight the Hu people with the mixed legions alone?" Lu Zhe was not saying that the Han army could not defeat the Hu people, but he was asking if the Han army could catch up once the Hu people wanted to run.

In fact, the mixed army also has a cavalry establishment, but the cavalry only accounts for 2,000 of the 50,000 soldiers, and they are not a type of troops to fight head-on, but as the eyes of the army, that is, scouts.

Scouts for every army are crucial, and no commander will use them to engage the enemy head-on unless it is the most critical and compelling moment. You must know that a scout is a special class, a qualified scout is much more important than a team of hundreds, and a good scout is even more precious than a thousand people.

"The Taiwei Department believes that it is roughly possible to guess the direction of the enemy's northward retreat, and what the Second Mixed Army Corps and the Third Mixed Army need is to establish a blocking line in the direction of the enemy's retreat," Kuaitong actually thought that the ideas of those staff officers were unreliable, so he simply used the mode of paraphrasing: "According to the terrain and the information sent by Wei Man, many praise paintings judged that the Hu people going north would walk the old Great Wall section, and they would all the way along the old Great Wall section to the Yellow River, and the Second Mixed Army Corps and the Third Mixed Army Corps did not need to leave heavy troops in each river section. It is only necessary to arrange teams in each section of the Yellow River to pay attention. ”

It is a confirmed fact that the Hu people had to cross the Yellow River from the south bank to reach the grasslands on the north bank if they wanted to go north. Then arranging for the team to post sentry in various sections of the Yellow River is indeed to understand the movement of the enemy during the crossing of the river.

According to the current scientific and technological strength and productive forces, whether it is the side of China that is more civilized than it is today, or the side of the Hu people who are almost uncivilized, unless the Yellow River is frozen, it is not a matter of one or two days at all, judging by the number of troops.

With 100,000 people, even if the Chinese army built pontoon bridges on both sides of the Yellow River, it would take at least ten days, and for the Hu people, who could only chop wood to make rafts and float slowly, it might not be enough to use a month or two, unless the Hu people found a section of the river that was shallow enough to cross by horse. It's the end of autumn, and there's no longer the shallow stretch of the river that you did in summer.

"Therefore, the Taiwei Department thinks that it is very likely that those Hu people will not cross the river so early, and they should want to wait until autumn to let the surface of the Yellow River freeze, and then cross the river by stepping on the ice." Kuaitong said it well, and it seems that he agrees with this judgment.

The Yellow River is frozen before crossing the river? The Hu people will really make such a choice, looking at the timetable of the Hu people going south in history, as long as the Hu people are killed on the south bank of the Yellow River in all dynasties, it is very rare to build pontoon bridges and boats, that is because the Hu people's creative power is not good, and the productivity is really too poor.

"The Hu people in the north are bait, and the Taiwei Department even thinks that leaving a legion is enough," Kuai Tong pointed to the position in the direction of Woye: "At present, Mao Dun is still swimming around Yang, and Touman is also moving in that direction with the main force of the Hu people, according to our urgent determination to the Qin State, combined with the recent actions of the main force of the Hu people, it is concluded that they are very likely to want to move in the direction of Shangjun." ”

The old land of Qin, that is, Shangjun and Beidi County, there are desert areas in both places, if it is according to the modern positioning, the desert area across Shangjun and Beidi County is near the Etuoke Banner, the scope of this desert is not wide, the length is more than 220 li, the width is the largest is 100 li, and the minimum is 40 li.

The main force of the Xiongnu and other Hu people moved in the direction of Beidi County, and they obviously wanted to take the Fuping line of the Qin State, and then retreat north along a wide inland river, where the terrain was basically flat, which was quite advantageous for the cavalry. The best part? It's that the terrain is too wide and wide, and there is no shortage of water.

"Probably in the Ningxia area?" Lu Zhe recalled modern Xinjiang in his mind, and he had the impression that it was really too vast, and he couldn't help but say: "If Touman leads the army north, it will be fine, if they stay in a certain area of the place and do not move, it will be very difficult to find them." ”

Kuai Tongcai didn't ask Lu Zhe why he didn't know so much about the terrain over there if he hadn't been to Beidi County, he said: "This is what the Taiwei Office and the General's Mansion are worried about. ”

Can you not be distressed? If the Hu people did not continue to go north, the Han army would have to send troops into the area of Ningxia, but once the Han army gave up blocking the fertile field, if the Hu people interspersed the past and escaped, then there was no hope that they could eliminate the main force of the Hu people in the interior.
