The armed personnel of the envoy group are all about 50,000, Liu Bang has made a very fine calculation, in addition to the 12,000 people in the regular army, there are about 20,000 retired personnel in the army, and the rest are rangers before the people.

Most of the retired personnel in the military are relatively old, the youngest of whom are over 35 years old, and the older ones are even around 50 years old. There is actually no harm in being older, which means that they have sufficient combat experience, and when they do not need to chase and kill for long distances, fixed-point combat basically does not require physical strength, and even if they need to do physical work, there is no war horse to travel.

The rangers are not good at fighting in military formations, they generally have better personal martial arts, which are very suitable for performing defense tasks and positioning assassinations.

As Liu Bang knew, the retired personnel in the army had a rich concept of life in the army, and when Han Xin sequenced them, that group of people not only quickly entered the state, but also quickly elected a group of officers, and in less than two months, a temporary corps composed of retired soldiers in the army appeared, and showed good coordination ability.

"Even those who haven't served in the military need to be trained in the summer and winter to basically adapt to group life." The expression on Yu Fanjun's face was more emotional: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted, the people are militarized, and the military has never lacked troops, and even this time we have also received help." ”

There is no doubt that the 50,000 armed men of the mission can form a legion in formation, and the number of men accompanying the mission was planned in the first place, so that there would be soldiers available when necessary. When the preparation for vigilance turned into a practical and effective implementation plan, those who knew the inside story did not have a lot of emotion, so they had to bow their hands to the imperial capital in the southeast and praise "Your Majesty is wise" or "After all, Shengming".

"The retired soldiers are excited to be re-drafted." Chen Yu had a reserved smile on his face: "It's just that they can't be put on the army's uniforms for the time being, and they have a lot of regrets about this." ”

Liu Bang snorted. said: "The fighters cooperate, but their employers are a bunch of profit-seeking villains. ”

After all, the armed men are hired by the caravans to accompany them, and since the signing of the contract, the mercenaries who are single, small and large groups, they are actually at the behest of each employer. As an envoy, Liu Bang has the right to recruit armed personnel of the envoy when needed, but there is no provision in any way that the recruitment can be done without compensation.

The conscription of armed men hired by the caravan is equivalent to the temporary suspension of the contract they have signed with the armed men, although the armed personnel are still required to fulfill their contractual responsibilities after the period, but the period of suspension is in any case the loss of the caravan.

"Lu Xiang, the president of the Nanling Chamber of Commerce, took the lead in asking for compensation, and the rest of the chambers of commerce and individual businessmen also made corresponding requests." Liu Bang had an expression of wanting to scold. But he held back stubbornly and said in a muffled voice: "It's really ...... I don't understand the general trend! ”

Where does Liu Bang dare to really scold! The Nanling Chamber of Commerce is a collection of the major clans in Nanjun, and there is some gossip that the emperor himself also has a stake in the Nanling Chamber of Commerce. The rest of the chambers of commerce are not that big, but each chamber of commerce is more or less the background of the imperial nobles, so they should not be easily offended. Private businessmen may not have much background, but if they don't scold the Chamber of Commerce to scold private businessmen, Liu Bang, who is already a third-class baron of the empire, doesn't want to lose his position so much.

When the empire attached great importance to the military, economic development was not left behind, and the rich people in any year were basically big clans or gentry and nobles, and the emperor was always a follower of economic advantages. How can a rich Xungui also buy an industry, Liu Bang himself has an industry, and even one of his caravans accompanying the festival group has one of his own, which is also one of the reasons why he can't scold.

Liu Bang is the most incomprehensible. Why did the Nanling Chamber of Commerce, which has the background of the emperor, also jump out first, and I have to think deeply about whether I have any opinions about myself?

In fact, Liu Bang also knew that the emperor had opinions about himself, and there was a time when something happened. Liu Fei invited many princes and nobles to travel, but something happened, and that time it was not for the accident in the gunpowder workshop on the south bank of the Yangtze River that involved the emperor's attention. I don't know how much trouble it will cause. In addition, there are other reasons, because he is too clingy to Wei Bao, thinking about fighting for the fief to the South Asian subcontinent, and the emperor does not seem to want to see this result, so he is on an errand as an envoy.

What a frightening thing it is for the emperor to have an opinion about himself? Liu Bang was more fortunate to meet an emperor who abided by the rules of the open face, as long as the investigation did not violate the law, he would not be wiped out by the emperor's order. It's a good thing that the emperor abides by the rules of the game he has made, at least everyone doesn't have to worry about the nine clans being wiped out when the emperor doesn't like him...... Well, it seems that there has been no tragedy in the history of destroying the nine clans, at most the three clans were razed, and the extermination of the nine clans did not appear until the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and then "I Daqing" carried forward.

The emperor has opinions, even if there is no disaster to destroy the door, he can imagine how much psychological pressure should be, Liu Bang wants to make a great contribution, it is nothing more than to make the emperor change his attitude towards himself, but Lu Xiang took the lead so much, his mood couldn't help but be worried, and the great credit that he originally wanted to monopolize was also spread out, and what he expected was the support of Chen Yu, Han Xin and Yu Fanjun?

Facts also proved that Liu Bang took the right step, and various chambers of commerce demanded compensation, and Han Xin quickly determined the compensation plan as soon as he came forward, and when the accompanying armed personnel were transferred to public use, the salaries of the armed personnel were paid by the official, and the rest did not make any demands.

Liu Bang knew very well that the various chambers of commerce were selling the face of Han Xin, the emperor's only apprentice, and if it was negotiated by others, he didn't know what the requirements of the various chambers of commerce would make, and it was certain that he would be scraped off a layer of skin.

"The 18,000 soldiers who followed the Wusun royal court, and the 6,000 soldiers selected from the armed men are worthy of a war." It's not that Han Xin didn't bring all the troops to the Wusun Royal Court, but that Wusun King Bo Ximi said it very politely and vaguely, so it can only be so many people. He added, "Most of the rest of the armed men are stationed in the caravan, and the other ......," he said, looking at Liu Bang.

"Hmm! Some of them were assigned by me to serve as guards for the various chiefs. Liu Bang was full of pride when he said this, "Hehe" laughed a few times and said: "It's just a few guards, you don't see the grateful, dripping looks of those leaders." ”

Yu Fanjun said "hehe" twice, that was just a small means. The effect is indeed very good as Liu Bang said.

The empire successively defeated the Xiongnu and other steppe nomadic groups, and all the vast grasslands close to the empire were occupied, and no less than 100 tribes were captured and wiped out.

In a battle near the source of the Yellow River, more than 200,000 Xiongnu were annihilated, and even Xiongnu Shan Yu was captured as a prisoner, and all parties were shocked when the news spread.

Donghu originally gathered more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Wuhou Qinshui, which was less than 20 miles away from the imperial border, and the results of the battle at the source of the Yellow River were reported. Absolutely nothing else.

The follow-up situation is that the Donghu tribes on the border of Liaodong who were originally close to each other came to a sudden brake, and they also turned around, where to come and go, because there were clansmen who participated in the battle of Qidi and wanted to take revenge of the two big tribes, the leaders of the two major tribes sent their sons and nephews to negotiate the redemption of the captured tribesmen, giving a signal of reconciliation.

The glorious achievements of the empire will naturally be transmitted to Wusun, and even the reaction of Donghu will be fed back to Wusun, and it can be said that Wusun really understood the strength of the empire from that moment. At this time, Wusun was facing an unprecedented crisis. can find a thigh to hold, how can there be a reason to let go.

Wusun really understood the strength of the empire after 80,000 cavalry arrived in Wusun's territory, He Yi led his army to Wusun, stationed in the south of Wusun, and fought with Maodun's army several times, which may not be too large in scale. But each time it was a victory, and the most brilliant victory was the loss of less than 100 men, and the total annihilation of 5,000 cavalry under the command of Mao Dun.

If the Wusun people saw the imperial army before, they only felt that the imperial army was gorgeous, well-armed, and even some people thought that the gorgeous appearance must be a silver spear wax head, which was confirmed by a series of victories. Even the hardest-mouthed person has nothing to say.

You must know that although Wusun and Maudun's army have won battles, they have to pay enough price to win each time, and the number of losses is shameless. At its worst, 10,000 Wusun cavalry fought against 15,000 men of Maudun. In the end, only more than 4,000 horsemen escaped, and the number of killing, wounding and killing Maudun soldiers is estimated to be less than 1,000.

There is no doubt about the combat power shown by the imperial army, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about the mentality of Bo Ximi wanting to hug the emperor's thigh, and Wusun is facing a dangerous situation, and it has formed a consensus among most people to get the support and help of the empire to tide over the difficulties.

The royal family surnamed Mi wanted to hug the emperor's thigh, and the leaders of the various tribes in Wusun were not without similar thoughts. It is estimated that the tribal leader went to hug the emperor's thigh and was a little deficient in rank, so it should not be wrong to befriend He Yi, the supreme commander of the military in Wusun, or to befriend Liu Bang, the envoy of the envoy group.

Many tribal leaders wanted to talk to He Yi, but He Yi only received him politely, but he reacted coldly to the many stammers and hints of the tribal leaders. When he couldn't do anything, the tribal leaders turned their attention to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang noticed that there was a change in Wusun and wanted to do something, and the leaders of the tribes took the initiative to come over and stammer, which can be described as a pillow when he was sleepy, compared with He Yi's coldness, he can be described as a warm response, and can chat with anyone, and those who think it is useful can call brothers and sisters in the stammering Wusun language.

"I always think...... Don't act recklessly. Chen Yu actually didn't want to raise the bar with Liu Bang at this time, but when he saw Liu Bangzhi's smug face, he was unhappy: "Bo Ximi is not blind and deaf, we will pay attention to the movements of the Wusun Royal Court, how can Bo Ximi not pay attention to us?" Just before he came to the Wusun Royal Court, there was already an endless stream of guests, and when he came to the Wusun Royal Court, he still did not refuse to come, what should Bo Ximi think? ”

"I don't care what he thinks!" Liu Bang said more thoroughly: "We are guests, how can we refuse to come to visit the host's family." Besides, doesn't Bo Ximi know that Wusun has entered a predicament? He knows for sure! So many Wusun leaders came to stammer and curry favor, in my opinion, Bo Ximi knows that this situation will only scold our Emperor His Majesty even more, after all, His Majesty is the emperor of the empire, and only His Majesty can finally call the shots, and what we said before doesn't count. ”

Chen Yu was choked by Liu Bang's string of words, and his chest was stuffy. He can see that Liu Bang is using rogue tactics, whether it is useful or not, whether it can be used or not, anyway, everyone is good first, and the promise that should be given is given, as for whether the promise is effective or not, it is completely regardless of credibility, and in the end, it is a bit to shirk the meaning of the emperor, I really don't know whether to say that it is heartless or cunning, it is certain that it is like a ruffian scoundrel.

In addition, Chen Yu has to admit that although Liu Bang's approach is a scoundrel, it is the most useful in the current situation, not only useful, but also able to win over a group of Wusun nobles in time.

Liu Bang put aside Chen Yu, who looked depressed, and began to discuss the follow-up with Han Xin and Yu Fanjun, talking about the general guards at the door, but it was difficult for Prince Wusun to send someone to invite.

When Chen Yu heard that it was difficult to invite Liu Bang, the depressed expression on his face was replaced by schadenfreude, but he quickly reined in.

"I should have been invited over." Liu Bang looked determined, and said to Chen Yu with a smile: "Do you bet?" I can be sure of one thing, it is difficult not to talk about the subject of any of the chiefs looking for me, but only to generalize in every way, and rarely to mention the matter of marriage. ”

Chen Yu didn't look over, he didn't want to see Liu Bang's hated face.

Yu Fanjun laughed a few times and said: "Just so that you can just ask for more cattle and sheep, the soldiers have been in the tent in the heavy snow, and they have been slaughtering and roasting the cattle and sheep to give to the soldiers, and raising more fat is also frost-resistant." ”

"That's exactly how it should be! Not only do you have to ask for it, but you also have to find the rest of the leaders! Liu Bang also laughed out loud with a "haha", and teased after laughing: "They are desperate to please us more, don't blackmail now, when will they wait." ”
