Han Dao world

Chapter 445
Stimulated by Han Sui's generous rewards, tens of thousands of troops started active preparations for war regardless of the approaching year.

Thousands of soldiers were sent to the nearby mountains to cut wood and make siege equipment, while others practiced in the army to prepare for the siege.

At the invitation of Han Sui, Liu Xie led his subordinates to inspect the camps and check their preparations.

Guo Wu, Zhao Yun and other casual cavalry attendants accompanied them as usual, and Ma Yunlu and Han Shaoying from the women's battalion also accompanied several female knights with outstanding training results.Seeing the legendary female knight up close, many soldiers stared straight away.Most of these people are not educated, and they still have a little awe of the emperor, but they are not so polite to these female knights, just like a wolf who sees a sheep and almost drools.

Ma Yunlu was still calm, but Han Shaoying was annoyed, and said directly to Han Sui, what kind of soldiers are you training, a mob.

Han Sui was a little embarrassed by his daughter's loss of face, but he couldn't say much because the emperor was in front of him.

After the inspection, Han Sui invited Liu Xie to take a seat when he returned to the main tent of the Chinese army, and prepared to report on the preparations for the siege.Taking advantage of the gap, he pulled Han Shaoying aside and said a few words of care, so that Han Shaoying would not speak rudely later and save him face.

Han Shaoying gave him a blank look. "I earn face by myself. I can save face for you, just because I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it by yourself."

Han Sui couldn't help but lose his temper. "Do you really think that those girls of yours can fight?"

Han Shaoying sneered: "Would you like to try? You choose fifty people, I choose fifty people, literature test, martial arts test, cavalry, cavalry, you choose."

Han Sui stared at Han Shaoying, feeling a little uncertain for a while. "Are you really that good?"

"I dare not say how powerful it is. It must be much better than your mob." Han Shaoying said: "The real elite must be disciplined. Even if there is a blade in front, they will advance when they hear the drum. Even if there are thousands of gold in front, they will retreat when they hear the gold. You Look at those of you who forgot the rules when they saw a few young women, can such a person still fight?"

Han Sui frowned slightly.

He felt that what Han Shaoying said was not completely unreasonable, but that ideals belong to ideals, and reality is reality after all, especially after the female knight has just practiced for the first time, it is impossible to enforce orders as Han Shaoying said, and it is even more impossible to defeat his soldiers.

Although these soldiers are not elites, they are veterans who have fought for many years. How could they lose to the female knights who have only been in the battalion for a few months.

"Shaoying, I know you have made great progress recently, but you can't be arrogant." Han Suiyu said earnestly: "The battlefield is deadly. How many of your female knights have killed people and seen blood? Even if you practice well No matter how good it is, when you go to battle and smell blood, it’s hard to say whether you can lift a knife.”

Han Shaoying disagrees.

Due to the rush of time, Han Sui couldn't say much, so he entered the account in a hurry.

More than a dozen soldiers carried them into a huge wooden case, and carefully lifted the cloth covering it, revealing a topographical map made of rice.

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile.

Han Sui saw it clearly and was very happy.He had been preparing for a long time, just for this moment.

"What is this?" Han Shaoying asked in surprise.

Ma Yunlu glanced at the contented Han Sui, and said calmly, "Uncle Wen Yue is worthy of being a scholar. He actually learned the story of General Fubo from the book and came up with the method of making a handful of rice into a mountain."

"A pinch of rice for a mountain?" Han Shaoying looked bewildered. "Which book is it in?"

Ma Yunlu laughed softly and said, "You can tell at a glance that you lost your mind when Sister Yuan was lecturing. It's a pity for Uncle Wen Yue's painstaking efforts."

Han Shaoying pouted.

Liu Xie could hear it clearly, and couldn't help secretly marveling that Yuan Quan would talk about these things?He suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and smiled softly: "Han Qing, I'm afraid many people don't know which one you came from. Why don't you tell me the origin?"

Han Sui was in the middle of his chest, cleared his throat, and told the story of Ma Yuan picking rice into mountains and explaining the situation to Emperor Guangwu.

All the generals in the tent suddenly realized and were greatly admired.

Only Weiwei Ma Teng looked embarrassed.

He has always claimed to be a descendant of General Fubo, but Han Sui learned the glorious deeds of his ancestors, but his eyes are darkened, and he doesn't know what happened. It's really embarrassing.

Han Sui pretended not to see him, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to let my son Han Yin explain the situation of Huanghan to Your Majesty."

"Yes." Liu Xie said lightly.

Han Sui immediately winked at Han Yin.Han Yin got up, walked in front of the emperor, bowed to salute, and then took the thorns, and began to explain the situation of Fanghan and the plan of attacking the city.

He spoke very thoroughly and should have been well prepared.He was just a little nervous, his voice was dry, and there was also fine sweat on his forehead.

Liu Xie listened very carefully, with a calm expression, without showing too many emotions.After Han Yin finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Han Qing is a good teacher."

Han Sui felt uneasy.The emperor's words can be understood as either satisfied with Han Yin's proposal, or dissatisfied. On the contrary, he feels that his intention to let his son show his face is too deliberate.

"Please correct me, Your Majesty."

"I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the situation in Fanghan, so I won't comment." Liu Xie turned his head and looked around. "There should be a lot of locals, gentlemen. Why don't you share your opinions? Since it is a discussion, the speaker is not guilty, and there is no limit. You can speak freely about geography, astronomy, and people's sentiments. Han Qing, what do you think?"

Han Yin looked at Han Sui with a guilty conscience.

He was well prepared, but only limited to the siege plan. He felt that the emperor would not be able to ask too tricky questions when he was here for the first time. He never expected that the emperor would let other people ask questions.Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you couldn't answer?
Han Sui was also very guilty, but he couldn't refuse. "At His Majesty's order."

"Who will come first?" Liu Xie looked at the generals with a smile.

All the generals under Han Sui's command dared not ask questions for fear of embarrassing Han Yin.At the moment of embarrassment, Ma Teng coughed: "General Zhenxi, I have a question."

Han Suiqiang smiled and said, "Wei Wei, please advise."

"According to what you said, how long will it take to take Fanghan, and how many soldiers will be killed?"

Han Sui didn't think about it. "It took half a month to make the siege equipment and half a month to attack the city. Based on the estimate of [-] defenders in the city, the casualties should be between [-] and [-]. According to the usual practice, about [-]% to [-]% of the wounded and [-]% of the dead Thirty percent."

Ma Teng then asked a question. "Who will be the main force to attack the city?"

Han Sui closed his mouth and his eyes became cold.

Ma Teng's words seemed plain, but they were actually very lethal.

The siege should be dominated by infantry, and among the soldiers of the counties, the soldiers of Longxi and Hanyang counties have the most infantry, and the soldiers of Jincheng County are mainly cavalry. .

This was a normal arrangement, but after Ma Teng asked about the number of casualties, it was easy to make people think that Han Sui wanted to send the county soldiers of Longxi and Hanyang to death so as to achieve his personal achievements.

Hanyang and Longxi were originally Ma Teng's territories, and these people were more familiar with Ma Teng, and they had always been very repulsive to his intervention.With such thoughts, the hostility in my heart naturally became heavier.

Looking at Han Sui who was in a dilemma, Liu Xie sighed in his heart.

In the final analysis, he is still too selfish. He has made clear the geographical situation around Fanghan, but he can't calm the hearts of the people in Liangzhou.
