I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 217

After Chen Luo finished speaking impassionedly, the hall was silent for a moment.

After a while, Liu Bang excitedly picked up the wine glass, but he didn't drink, and he kept applauding: "Okay! What Jiang Ning said is very true! My big man has ten victories, and the Huns have ten defeats. If this is the case, why worry? Such a big advantage... I really don't want to conquer it myself?"

His voice was quite loud, and there was a melancholy look in the hall next door. Lu Zhi, who was talking with Liu Le, heard it and snorted coldly: "Your father must have drunk too much. He used to drink and get excited in Pei County, so he liked it." He shouted loudly, he must maintain his manners in front of his courtiers, and he still looks like this when drinking privately, and he has never changed."

However, Chen Luo, who knew that Liu Bang wasn't drunk but simply excited, almost collapsed.

I originally wanted to give Liu Bang confidence, so don't overdo it.

So he hurriedly added, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, and conquer barbarians like the Xiongnu? Do you need your Majesty to go there in person?"

"That's right." Liu Bang nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I want to call Prime Minister Xiao and the others into the palace now to discuss the strategy of resisting the Huns. What do you think of Jiang Ning?"

In fact, Chen Luo had a rough plan in mind, but since Liu Bang said so, it was impossible for him to speak out against it. It was a big taboo to be suspected of manipulating the army.

So Liu Bang thought for a while, and ordered to the attendant behind him: "You go to pass the order, let my personal guards pass the message to Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xia Houying, um... call me Jin She and Wang Ling , Said that I invited them into the palace to drink."

"Wei." The waiter walked out of the hall with small steps and quick steps.

About half an hour later, the nearest prime minister, Xiao He, entered the hall with a confused look on his face. When he saw Chen Luo who had arrived in the hall before him, he was still quite puzzled after paying the salute.It's just that he saw wine glasses in front of the two people in the hall, so he didn't ask any more questions, he just found a seat and sat down silently.

Less than an hour later, Zhang Liang lowered his head and walked into the palace gate with a bit of fear in his eyes, but seeing Xiao He and Chen Luo were there, he felt relieved, then frowned slightly, and began to have various doubts.

In the next quarter of an hour, all the people that Liu Bang wanted to call were all present. They tried their best to wear the most appropriate clothes within the limited time, not wanting to lose their appearance.

"I called you over this time. Firstly, I want to reminisce about the past and drink, and secondly, I have an important matter. I want to discuss it with you first." Liu Bang said lightly after taking a sip from the wine glass.

After the others toasted and drank together, except for Chen Luo, they were all at a loss.

Only a few of them are discussing matters at night, so it seems that something big will happen.

"The Huns from the north have invaded the south." Liu Bang calmly said the explosive opening remarks, looked at the shocked crowd, and slowly told the general story of the incident, and recounted Chen Luo's "Ten Wins and Ten Defeats".

After a delay of about tens of breaths, they finally figured out the current situation.

"If we want to go to war, the original army to challenge Wei totaled more than [-] people, and the food and grass can be eaten for another half a year, but according to Doctor Chen, the Xiongnu is powerful, so we need to recruit soldiers from all over the country. Then we need to requisition again." As long as matters related to money and food were mentioned, Xiao He would habitually put on a bitter face, and even lowered his voice.

Seeing that Zhang Liang didn't speak, Chen Ping suggested: "Your Majesty, in fact, we don't need to mobilize the same number of troops as the Xiongnu.

They didn't attack in one place, so we only need to ensure that our own army outnumbers the Huns in the confrontation, and then we can repel them.

In this way, we can meet this requirement by recruiting another [-] soldiers, and the new burden on the common people will not become unbearable.

What's more, as long as we defeat them in the first place, we don't even need to drive them out of the territory completely, so we can temporarily negotiate a peace with them, leaving enough time for the big man to recover his national strength. "

"I agree with your previous statement, but the last item, I think it is biased." Zhang Liang said softly.

Chen Luo also nodded, and then said: "The villain is afraid of power but not virtue, those Huns are all barbarians who drink blood and don't know etiquette.

If they did not use swords to deter the Huns, but instead took the initiative to negotiate peace, then they would have contempt for the big man in their hearts, and they would definitely continue to harass the border in the future.

Only by defeating them in the first battle can the big man win more time to recuperate. "

Historically, the early Han Dynasty had always been in a weak position for the Xiongnu, which was caused by many factors.

Although the fundamental reason was that the national power had not yet reached its peak in the early Han Dynasty, after the siege of Baideng, it was the Han Dynasty who proposed a peace treaty on its own initiative, which led to the arrogance of the Huns, which was also one of the reasons.

Liu Bang squinted his eyes and made a decision: "Zi Fang and Jiang Ning are right, it is a humiliation for a big man to compromise with those barbarians.

What's more, I have soldiers, generals, food and grass under my command, and if I ask for peace and compensation for land, wouldn't it be laughable and generous in the history of history? "

Seeing that Liu Bang had made a conclusion, the others stopped entangled in this aspect and began to consider how to send troops, transport food, and who should be the commander.

"From what point of view, General Han and the King of Chu are the most suitable." Xiao He suggested that in his opinion, these two people can quickly defeat the Xiongnu and need to consume the least amount of food and money.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bang replied: "General Han can be transferred from Wei to command the army. As for the crusade against rebels, there is no problem in handing over to Zhou Bo.

But King Xiang came from Chu, the journey was too far, and it took too much time to gather the Chu people, and it would take a long time to come alone to lead the army, and I am afraid that he is not familiar with the system. "

His consideration was not to be afraid of Xiang Yu, what he said was in line with the facts.

The Huns were already wreaking havoc in the land of Yanzhao, and Xiang Yu was transferred from Chu to serve as the commander-in-chief.

At this moment, Chen Luo suddenly said: "I want to recommend someone to you."

"Jiang Ning, please." Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he wanted to recommend a certain general under Xiang Yu's command, who happened to be staying in Chang'an now, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't find the suitable candidate.

Chen Luo said slowly: "The soldiers of the Huns are good at two things. One is their archery. Even at night, they can shoot and kill prey from a distance. The other is their riding skills. Those Huns The movements of a person on horseback are no different from those on flat ground.

To deal with such an enemy, it is natural to choose the general who is most familiar with horses, so as not to be completely ignorant of the Huns' routines.

And who dares to say that today's big man knows horses better than the servant?
Let him serve as a general in the army, and he can achieve the goal of "knowing yourself and the enemy, and winning a hundred battles without danger". "

Xia Houying, who had been listening to the exchange of words from the crowd, was suddenly stunned.

It turns out that you didn't call me over this time to make up the numbers, did you?
