After the meeting was dismissed, it was difficult for the military ministers to calm down.

His mind was full of all kinds of tangled emotions, he looked to the south, thousands of miles away, the majestic Great Wall, like an iron gate, firmly guarding the dividing line of the world.

If they wanted to take the defense line of the Great Wall, the price paid by the Huns was higher and higher each time.

Five years ago, King Youxian invaded, and finally approached the core of the Han Dynasty, so frightened that the Han people had to mobilize the whole country.

Today, five years later, the Xiongnu army, which had the same strength as the southern invasion of King Youxian, was surrounded by the Han Dynasty under the city of Mayi.

It even damaged the Zhelan tribe.

And the hooves of the Hun cavalry did not even reach the dust on the Great Wall!

In the long run, in another five years, wouldn't the Han army be able to get out of the fortress, go straight to the core of the Xiongnu, and compete with the Xiongnu cavalry on the vast grassland?

The hearts of the military ministers were worried about this.

However, knowing this, the military minister found that he seemed to have nothing to do about it.

Even, he couldn't put Shan Yuting's main force in the south and confront the Han Dynasty to ensure the safety of the grassland.

This is for both economic and political reasons.

Economically, the Xiongnu Empire could not bear the heavy burden of more than 100,000 main cavalry stationed in Munan for a long time.

Politically, there is no way for military ministers to change their established strategy.

That's the same as smacking yourself in the mouth, it's telling others that you're just making a mistake.

And those who make mistakes will not live long!

In this world, there are not many people who can recognize their mistakes and openly admit and review their mistakes.

And in politics, after making mistakes. Individuals or interest groups who refuse to admit it, put on a posture of boiling water with boiling water, even if they hit their heads against the south wall, they will never look back, and they have emerged in an endless stream from ancient times to the present.

Both East and West. It's all true.

The military minister will not be the first, and will definitely not be the last.

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty ......," the military minister muttered in his heart.

He understands, and knows, that now, the hegemony of this world has shifted to the Han Dynasty.

The Battle of Mayi informed everyone with the clearest facts that the Han Dynasty had gained the initiative in Han-Hungarian relations.

Although the Xiongnu still had an advantage in the number of cavalry.

However, the Xiongnu Empire only used tens of thousands of cavalry or even the cavalry of one tribe. Gone are the days when they wreaked havoc on the border of the Great Wall, and even plundered the lives and property of the border people of the Han Dynasty!

From now on, the Han Dynasty no longer needed to be wary of the cavalry coming from the north.

Today, they can encircle and annihilate more than 40,000 Xiongnu elites under the city of Mayi, and tomorrow, they can also encircle and annihilate the same or even more Xiongnu troops in the clouds or in the upper valley.

They can even bring war to war. Burned to the grassland.

The offensive and defensive momentum of the Han and Hungarian countries has changed.

The Han Dynasty gained the right to attack strategically!

Just like the Hun cavalry of the past. Along the long defense line of the Great Wall, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, anytime and anywhere, could go out of the fortress from different angles to plug the grassland and lead the people of the bow to travel, hunt, and sightsee.

What's even more terrifying. The Xiongnu did not have the Great Wall, so they did not even have the time and opportunity to warn.

As soon as the cavalry of the Han Dynasty came out of the fortress, they usually could pierce through a certain Xiongnu tribe.

It was not only the agrarian civilization that was afraid of being invaded and attacked by the cavalry of the nomads.

Nomads, in front of the powerful Central Plains Empire. In fact, it is more vulnerable!

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Yan Zhao army in the Central Plains swept across the entire prairie.

Zhao general Li Mu and Yan general Qin Kai used the blood of many tribes, including the Xiongnu, to dye their armor red.

The short-lived unification of the Qin Empire even struck the whole world.

The Great Wall Corps of the Qin army directly repaired the fortress to the foot of Yin Mountain, and there was not even a single nomadic tribe grazing in the entire south of the Munan.

Every year, the Qin army has to cut off thousands of heads at the foot of Yin Mountain alone.

Today, the powerful and unified centralized central empire is once again showing its hideous minions and brutal bloodthirsty side.

The fear of 'not daring to go south to herd horses' resurfaced in the hearts of the military ministers.

Let him recall the legends and myths of those old generations of those powerful armies from the Southern Central Plains.

And the casual description of a detail hidden in these stories and legends - because there is not enough breast milk, the babies are hungry and cry all day long, the animals cannot eat the fresh grass, and they starve to death in droves.

Occasionally, a few sturdy ones will become the hope of the tribe.

Even cheese and mare's milk wine became a delicacy of the aristocracy.

On the dining table alone, there is only a small amount of jerky.

All the tribes are dying.

had to migrate farther west and north.

The warlord took a deep breath.

This kind of catastrophe is less than 100 years after its last occurrence.

So far, it's only four generations.

"Ben Danyu must not let this happen again!" The military minister said in his heart.

As Shan Yu, he knew very well that if the Han army was out of the fortress, then they would definitely be even more crisp and excessive than what their ancestors did.

By that time, the Huns would have to shed blood.

Countless people and livestock will die in war, famine and disease.

Nomadic tribes, in fact, are far more vulnerable than agrarian peoples.

On the prairie, a small snowstorm can often prevent a tribe of 1,000 people from seeing the grass sprout the next spring.

A large-scale locust plague crossing the border is more likely to cause countless tribes to disappear without a trace overnight.

And humanity, especially the armies of men.

But it is a catastrophe that is more terrible than all natural disasters!

They would burn pastures, attack herders, and kill and loot all their livestock.

Even, turning grasslands into arable land......

Such terrible disasters have been staged countless times in the past thousand years.

The grassland was bloodied and drifting, and corpses were everywhere.

Those once glorious and powerful tribes have disappeared forever in the long river of history.

"In any case, a new peace treaty must be signed with the Han Dynasty!" The military minister thought to himself.

Once upon a time, when the Huns felt dissatisfied with the peace treaty. They tore up this treaty at any time, invaded south, burned and looted, and forced the Han Dynasty to come up with better conditions and more resources to satisfy and fill the vanity and greed of the Xiongnu Empire.

Today, the situation has reversed.

Instead, the Huns were begging for peace. But they were worried that the Han people would tear up the peace treaty, and tens of thousands of cavalry entered the grassland from all directions, burning, killing and looting.

However, the Xiongnu Empire is likely to be the same as the Han Dynasty back then, even if it is full of humiliation, even if it is slapped in the face, it must pray for peace in a low voice.

Thirty years in Hedong. Thirty years in Hexi.

Although the military minister didn't know this, his mood at the moment was like this.

"It's hard to call the generals......," the military minister thought for a moment and made a decision.

Now, in the royal court, there were two groups of voices shouting the highest.

On one side was the main battle faction led by Lan Tuoxin, who believed that the Han Dynasty must be punished. It was even necessary to destroy the pastures and cavalry bases of the Han dynasty in the north at any cost.

But. The military minister knew that this was impossible.

The Han army was able to encircle and annihilate Yin Zhixie's 40,000 troops under the city of Mayi, and defeated the Zhelan tribe in the front.

Then they can replicate the myth.

In the clouds or elsewhere, encircle and destroy other tribes.

Moreover, fighting on the inner line, the Han army still has hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers to rely on.

The Hun cavalry fell in. Want to come up? I'm afraid it's not that easy!

And, most importantly, if he did so, it would be tantamount to the military minister himself admitting that he was wrong.

This is something that the military ministers cannot accept under any circumstances.

So, no matter how reasonable what they say, no matter how reasonable. No matter how high-pitched the voice is.

The military ministers will not listen to them either.

On the other hand, there is the powerful 'Lord and Faction'.

It is said that it is the Lord and the faction, but it is not.

These people are basically the clan leaders of the Makubei and the Western Regions, as well as some nobles within the four major clans.

They are all the same people who followed the military ministers to purge the Right Xian King five years ago.

Naturally, they don't punch themselves in the mouth.

More importantly, for them, the southern invasion was equivalent to working hard and consuming countless resources to go to the foot of the Great Wall to confront the Han Dynasty.

In the past, the invading tribes could also make up for these losses by looting wealth and population from the rich treasury and cities of the Han Dynasty.

However, now, even Zhelan was defeated head-on by the Han army, and King Youxian, along with Aries and Lou, looked like they were about to perish.

A fool would support something that is neither beneficial nor irrelevant to him!

Anyway, even if the worst happens.

It was also the tribes of Munan who died, and it had little to do with them.

Dead friends do not die poor.

This is the universal nature of human beings.

Thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles away, I have never even seen each other, and I am not even the so-called 'compatriots' of a nation?

Before nationalism flourished, regimes around the world had one attitude: love to die.

But as Shan Yu, the military minister can't think like this.

What's more, if you really lose the tribes of Makunan, Makubei and the Western Regions, will there really be no loss?

Without the pastures of the south of the Makunan and the tribute of the vassal tribes, the tribes of the north of the Maku, can live such a chic life?

The military ministers knew very well that the Xiongnu Empire could not afford to lose Makunan.

Moreover, if he really loses the Munan region in his hands, then those tribes in the Makubei and Western Regions who are now clamoring for peace will immediately turn around and pull him down.

Therefore, the monk who had just returned from the mission was remembered by the military ministers.

In fact, the military ministers have now regretted sending Yin Zhi to invade the south.

"The remnants of the Wusun people, even if they are taken over and sheltered by the Han Dynasty, so what?" The military minister thought with annoyance: "However, the remnants of two or three thousand people are defeated, and it is impossible to pose any threat to the Great Huns!" ”

Now it's good!

The plan to force the Han Dynasty to hand over the remnants of Wusun and take the opportunity to rob it once was not realized, but instead took the trump card of the Xiongnu - the Zhelan tribe.

It is more likely to lose a valuable Motobu 10,000 rides!

This made the hearts of the military ministers very uncomfortable!

"Ben Dan Yu is too confused...... "The military minister sighed with regret: "Why did Ben Dan Yu forget the lesson of eighteen years ago?" ”

Eighteen years ago, Zhang Ni, the leader of a large tribe of the Xiongnu Empire, offended the old Shangshan Yu, and in order to survive, he took more than 3,000 people to cross the Great Wall and take refuge in the Han Dynasty.

This led to a great war between the two countries.

In the early days, the Hun army fought very well.

Captured Chaonasai, burned back to the middle palace, and the war approached Guanzhong.

Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty soon fully mobilized, hundreds of thousands of infantry and cavalry mixed corps, steadily pushed forward, and drove the Xiongnu 140,000 cavalry out of the Great Wall.

Then, at the foot of the Great Wall, the two countries stared at each other for a year or two.

Finally, both countries were exhausted.

So a peace agreement was reached.

In addition to reaffirming that 'the Han and Hungarians are about brothers, with the Great Wall as the boundary', the most important result of this peace agreement was to stipulate in the peace treaty that 'both the past things should be gone', and then 'the Han released the fleeing captives, and only said nothing, etc.' ’。

It means that what happened before was a misunderstanding.

Han and Hungary are now rebuilding their old friendships.

All the officials and people who fled to the Xiongnu who were wanted in the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu side, don't talk about Zhangni and others anymore.

None of these things had happened.

But can it really be pretended not to have happened?

It was after the signing of the peace treaty that the nobles in the Xiongnu and the officials on the Han Dynasty began to learn and light up the skills of 'if you can't get by, just run to the other side'.

Although many criminals and officials appeared in the Han Dynasty, they fled to the Xiongnu.

However, in the Xiongnu, many nobles also appeared, with tribes and people, fled to the Han Dynasty and sought refuge.

Now, at the foot of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, the large and small tribes who served as guard posts for the Han Dynasty and the three Guiyi Hou in Chang'an City are the fruits of this treaty.

Since then, the Xiongnu have understood that going south will not only suffer losses, but also take advantage.

It's better to be in the Western Regions, it's better to be in the West!

There was neither a strong line of defense like the Great Wall, nor those large Han army corps.

One 10,000 horsemen can subdue more than a dozen kingdoms, so that they can obediently serve the Huns as slaves.

The military minister now recalls this incident, in the face of the fact that Zhilan was defeated and Yin Zhixian was surrounded, deep in his heart, his bowels of regret were blue.

"Ben Dan Yu has long known that there is no good result in going south, why did he get lost in his mind and go south?"

If there had been no southern invasion, Zhelan would not have been defeated.

Yin Zhixian and the two tribes of Aries and Lou Fu will not fall into the siege of the Han army.

The Great Huns are still the number one power in the world.

And he is still the great Shan Yu who has been blessed and blessed by the ancestors and gods.

Nothing like this would happen, and he didn't have to worry about his status and authority.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

At this moment, he completely forgot the pride and pride he felt when he decided to let Zhelan, Lou Fu, and Aries go south and invade the south with Yin Zhixian.

At that time, he was sure in his heart that this invasion would be an easy armed march.

has an ace like Zhelan in charge, as well as the headquarters of Lou Fu, Aries and Yin Zhixian.

Don't talk about Mayi!

Even Yanmen Pass can be easily captured!

"It's all the fault of those damn slaves!" The military minister suddenly turned hideous, clenched his fists hard, and said: "It must be these evil species and minions of the Donghu people who deliberately framed and separated the Han-Hungarian relationship in order to achieve their ulterior motives!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Wait a minute~

In addition, don't get too excited, I haven't started to prepare yet~

Choosing paper, typesetting, design, it takes time, in short, I will get these preliminary work done first, and when the results are available, I will make an announcement!

Thank you
