Chapter 272 Evidence of advance and retreat
Dahonglu Yang Biao got up and bowed his hands in salute.

"Xiu Tu and Hu are a disaster for the United States. Attacking and killing Shan Yu is not the responsibility of the country. I dare to ask you to send an order to the north, face-to-face, and make him apologize and defend himself. If he does not obey, His Majesty will send generals It's not too late to crusade."

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi got up at the same time. "The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhao Wen also specially explained: "It is difficult to tell right from wrong when the vassal states are fighting each other. The former Shanyu Yu Fuluo Yique, and now the Shanyu is driving in front of him. Neither of them has said anything about Xiutu, and there must be something hidden in it. I dare you to ask Your Majesty to accept it." According to the words of Dahonghe, first ask right and wrong, and then give rewards and punishments."

Liu Xie didn't move his face, and turned his gaze to Qubei.

An old minister is an old minister, and his words are impeccable.Even if it is cowardly, people can't see any flaws.

From a procedural point of view, neither Yu Fuluo nor Hu Chuquan mentioned the matter of Xiu Tuge, but now Qubei suddenly mentioned Xiu Tuge, and there were hundreds of thousands of people, no one knew whether it was true or not.

Moreover, Xiu Tuge is not under the jurisdiction of the Meiji Royal Court. This matter is no longer a rebellion within the Meiji Royal Court, but an attack between the subordinate countries.The imperial court can't listen to one side or believe it. It is a routine operation to send people to understand the situation first.

Even if this matter is true, Xiutu should be given the opportunity to explain and plead guilty first, there is no reason to send troops directly.

The old ministers gave him a perfect step, and he had no reason not to take advantage of it.

After listening to the translation, Qu Bei became extremely depressed.

He screwed everything up.

After being stunned for a long while, all he could do was bow and salute without a word of rebuttal.

The reasons given by the veteran ministers were very good, and he was not given a chance to refute at all.

Going on will only make people suspect that he is a fraud.

Just when the Huns were in despair, they heard Liu Xie say: "Although that is the case, Yu Fuluo Yique filed a lawsuit against himself, and Hu Chuquanjian saw him, so it can be seen that he has no shame in his heart. Xiutu was in the north Land, you should know that I am fortunate to be in the east of the river. As a vassal state, I neither lead my troops to serve the king nor send envoys to pay tribute, so I can see that there is no imperial court. I should come here in person and ask about its twists and turns."

Zhao Wen and the others looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Qubei needs to listen to someone's translation, so he took a step back, and when he understood what Liu Xie said, he was happy in his heart, and quickly pulled Hu Chuquan to get up together.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are willing to be His Majesty's pioneers."

Regardless of whether the emperor is going to conquer Xiutu, or to understand the situation, as long as he starts, it will be fine.

If you have any questions, you can talk on the road.

Once the time is missed, who knows if it will be possible.

On the one hand, there are old ministers dissuading them, and on the other hand, the Huns who are trying their best to encourage them, but Liu Xie is not panicked at all.

This situation is in his best interest.

The veteran just asked him to think twice, and did not veto it.

Even if they were on the road, they didn't say that they couldn't send people to Xiutu to question each other first.Even when they got to Xiutuge, they didn't say they had to fight.

If it is handled well, it is entirely possible for Xiutu to admit that he is a coward.Let's give each other a step down, and stop fighting here.

Duke Huan of Qi attacked Chu and blamed Gong Mao for not getting in. This is the routine.

The Huns were caught in a shortcoming and lacked confidence, so they could only lower their expectations and just ask him to set off.Even if he doesn't fight Xiutu, as long as he can put down Meiji's rebellion and let them have a home, he will be satisfied.

Whether to go or not, to fight or not to fight, how to fight, the initiative is in his hands.

In the end, Liu Xie accepted the suggestions of the veterans, and did not reject the request of the Huns, saying that he would consider it for two days and seek opinions from multiple parties before making a decision.

Both parties were satisfied and the banquet continued.

-

Supplies are limited, the banquet is not considered rich, and it is barely enough to be full, and it is over as soon as it gets dark.

A fire was lit in the camp, and the kettle was hung up. Liu Xie changed into light clothes and was ready to receive the ministers who had come to see him.

Needless to say, there must be a group of people waiting to give advice.

Cai Yan, who was in charge of recording, prepared pen and ink, Pei Jun assisted, and followed suit.

It was warmer in the big tent, so Cai Yan took off her bloated winter clothes and changed into a close-fitting jacket, finally showing some curves.

Liu Xie couldn't help but take a second look.

Cai Yan is in his late twenties this year, exactly the best age, far from being comparable to Fu Shou, Song Du and others who are not yet fully developed.

Cai Yan didn't notice Liu Xie's eyes. There were several scrolls of bamboo slips spread out in front of her, and she still held a scroll in her hand.

Liu Xie was curious. "What book is Ling Shi reading?"

Cai Yan said without raising his head, "Records related to Xiutu."

Liu Xie came to a sudden, happy in his heart.

This is a competent secretary who knows what information he most wants to know now.

"Is there any gain?"

"Slightly one or two." Cai Yan got up, walked to Liu Xie, and spread the book in his hand in front of Liu Xie. "The so-called Xiutuge are the descendants of the former Xiongnu king's tribe. Huo prostituted Yao to break Hexi, Huxie king and Xiu Tu king were defeated and surrendered. King Xiu Tu changed his plan and was beheaded by Huo prostitute Yao, and his relatives were slaves Jin Ridun is one of them. The subordinates are placed in Beidi and Wuwei..."

As Cai Yan spoke, he spread the relevant records in front of Liu Xie, supplemented by a map.

After hearing this, Liu Xie finally had a rough impression of Xiu Tuge.

He kind of believed Qu Bei's words, there might be hundreds of thousands of people in Xiutu Gezhen.

Of course, these [-] people are the total population, not soldiers.

The geographical conditions of Beidi, Wuwei and others cannot support [-] households. Even if the Huns learned how to farm, they cannot be better than the Han people.

The combined Han population in Liangzhou is no more than [-] households, and the three counties of Wuwei, Beidi, and Anding only have about [-] households.How could the Huns have [-] households?

"Can Xiutu each have [-] cavalry?" Liu Xie asked.

If so, it's still a bit of a hassle.

Cai Yan thought for a moment, then said, "I don't think so."

"Why?"

"When I was in Shuofang with my father, I saw many Huns who lived in the fortress. If they had been nomadic, everyone of the Huns would naturally be cavalry. If they are used to farming, it may not be the case. Farming is the most energy-intensive and impossible. Practice riding and shooting at any time like a shepherd. After a long time, you will become unfamiliar. Even if you can ride a horse instead of walking, you may not be able to ride and shoot, so there will be a victorious soldier."

"Sheng Bing?" Liu Xie sounded familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.

"Please look, Your Majesty." Cai Yan leaned closer and pointed to the words on the bamboo slips. "The word "Sheng Bing" usually refers to a person who is capable of fighting in a land of farming and herding. It is not found in the records of the early Huns. This is the inevitable result of their moving into the Great Wall and farming and herding."

Liu Xie looked at it one by one, and his mood was a bit complicated.

If Cai Yan's conjecture is true, although Xiutu's total army strength can still reach about [-], it is not [-] knights, and must include some infantry.

Although these infantry may also use horses instead of walking, their fighting method is not riding and shooting, but fighting in formation.

The cooperation of infantry and cavalry, rather than cavalry, shooting or assault, is the most likely way for Xiutu to fight.

This is both an opportunity and a risk.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xie ordered someone to call Xun You.
