"Then do you think that Li Guang's failure to become a Marquis was due to himself or someone else?"

Lu Bu was stunned, calmed down a bit, turned his eyes around, and said after a while: "There are reasons for himself, and there are also other people's reasons."

"Like?"

"As for himself, he was born too early. When he was young, he served Xiaowen and Xiaojing. Except for the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, the country had no wars and no chance to make meritorious service. When Xiaowu ascended the throne and attacked the Xiongnu, he was already over half a hundred years old. If he hadn't accepted Liang Wang's official title, he would have been a Marquis as early as when the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was quelled."

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Where are the others?"

"Others..." Lu Bu hesitated. "For example, Wei Qing, Li Guangming was a former general. He was the first to meet the enemy, but was transferred to the right by Wei Qing, and lost the opportunity to fight the Xiongnu Shanyu."

Looking at the submissive Lu Bu, Liu Xie felt emotional.Sure enough, people still need to study. If you know a little more, you won't be too frivolous.Although Lu Bu swallowed his studies wholeheartedly, he also knew the truth that ministers should be cautious in their words and deeds in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, even if you are Li Guang, you can accomplish nothing.

"It's good to read a book, and it's always good to be able to read." Liu Xie tapped on the table with his fingers. "Although people and things are in the past, it is still useful to learn from the past. Take Li Guang as an example, even if the factors of himself and others are excluded, there are actually reasons why it is difficult for him to be a Marquis."

Lu Bu's heart is full of blessings. "Your Majesty, please call."

"What is Li Guang good at?"

"Naturally, riding and shooting."

"Is there any chance of victory between the Han cavalry and the Huns?"

Lu Bu rolled his eyes, suddenly realized, and excitedly slapped his thigh. "Your Majesty, I understand. Although Li Guang is excellent at archery, he is just a brave man, and his soldiers are far inferior to the Huns, so he loses every battle. He should..."

"What should he do?" Liu Xie asked.

Lu Bu held his breath, and his eyes flickered for a while. "He should charge forward with a spear instead of riding and shooting with the Huns. The Han army has armor and has an advantage in close combat, and the spears are more lethal than bows and arrows. The closer the distance, the Han army has a chance of winning."

Liu Xie smiled. "Marquis Wen, you are better than Li Guang." He paused, and then said: "Maybe it's because you haven't lost your mind yet, and you can innovate. If you are like Li Guang, you will have the chance to fight the Huns when you are over fifty. You are used to it." It’s done, even if you want to change your tactics, it’s not that easy.”

Lu Bu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he bowed his hands again and again to be humble.

"I have a task for you." Liu Xie said, "Go back and think about it carefully. With today's situation, how can we compete with the Xianbei people in the grassland."

Lu Bu was overjoyed and bowed to pay respects.

If he can really find a suitable method, the emperor will definitely not let him idle, and will naturally give him a chance to display it.

-

After bidding farewell to the Son of Heaven and leaving the imperial tent, Lu Bu came to Mrs. Wei's tent and shouted for Mrs. Wei to come out and see her.

Mrs. Wei came out of Xun Wenqian's tent next door when she heard Lu Bu's voice, and shouted angrily, "You unruly man, this is the imperial camp, and the emperor and nobles are here, why are you yelling?"

Lu Bu was startled, and subconsciously lowered his volume. "I have seen the emperor."

"I've seen it when I've seen it. What's there to be proud of? I'll serve Mr. Xun Gui, and I'll see you every day in the future." Mrs. Wei said harshly, seeing that Lu Bu was in a good mood in her eyes, but she felt hopeful in her heart. "What did you say?"

"The emperor praised me." Lu Bu said triumphantly, "The emperor also asked me to think of a way to defeat the Xianbei people."

Mrs. Wei was also very happy when she heard this. "Then you should pay more attention, don't disappoint the emperor's hope." She twisted Lu Bu again. "If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to sleep in my bed in the future. I will live alone with Xiaohuan, and I will leave you alone for the rest of your life."

Lu Bu rolled his eyes, bored, waved his hands, turned and left.

Mrs. Wei knew about him, pouted, and went back nonchalantly.

Xun Wenqian sat in the tent and listened to the conversation outside the tent. Seeing Mrs. Wei returning to the tent with a look of embarrassment, she couldn't help laughing: "Marquis Wen is a fierce tiger, and my wife is the one who subdue the tiger."

Mrs. Wei giggled. "Don't say that, nobleman. If the concubine is a tiger subduer, isn't the nobleman a dragon warrior?"

Xun Wenqian withdrew her smile and said seriously: "Madam, don't speak nonsense. If not, I wouldn't dare to keep you here, lest I hurt you and myself."

Mrs. Wei was startled, and quickly shut her mouth tightly.

Taking this opportunity, Xun Wenqian set a few rules for Mrs. Wei.Mrs. Wei held her breath and responded one by one.

Although she didn't study much, she also knew that Xun Wenqian was favored by the emperor and supported by her father Xun Yu and her younger brother Xun You. Now she is pregnant. If she can give birth to a prince, she might have a chance to be a queen in the future. She can't offend her.

After setting up the rules, Xun Wenqian ordered people to take some daily necessities and give them to Mrs. Wei, some of which were sent by Tang Ji from Hedong, and they were good things that Mrs. Wei seldom saw.When Mrs. Wei saw her, she burst into tears of gratitude, and became more determined to serve Xun Wenqian well.

In less than half a day, Xun Wenqian made some tricks to tidy up the aggressive Mrs. Wei, which greatly surprised Liu Xie who came to visit her.

Compared with Xun Wenqian, Fu Shou is really too young.

Chapter 438

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 50 people, I choose 50 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 it took half a month to attack the city. Based on the estimated number of 5000 defenders in the city, the casualties should be between [-] and [-]. According to the usual practice, about [-]% to [-]% of the wounded and two to three dead become."

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.

Chapter 439

Seeing that Ma Teng forced Han Sui into a corner as soon as he opened his mouth, Jia Xu broke the deadlock with a cough.

"Ziyi, I have a question."

Han Yin bowed in embarrassment. "Please advise me."

"Marching and fighting will inevitably lead to casualties. Sufficient medical preparations and timely treatment can save many people. Since the casualties are estimated to be between 5000 and [-], how many doctors and doctors have you arranged, and how many must-haves have you prepared? less medicine?"

Han Yin hastily pulled out a piece of wooden tablet and glanced at it quickly. "Yes, doctors, no, there are 23 doctors and doctors in total, and the medicines are also prepared, but... the quantity is not enough, I'm afraid it won't be able to save... so many people."

Han Yin looked at Han Sui while talking.

Han Sui also reacted, and quickly said: "This matter is reported to Your Majesty, and I dare to ask Your Majesty to send some imperial physicians for reinforcement."

Liu Xie understood as soon as he heard it.

Han Sui was not prepared for a strong attack from the beginning.He originally wanted to shake off his prestige, force Song Jian to surrender without bloodshed, take a credit for nothing, and give Song Jian a favor, to show his worth in front of others.Unexpectedly, Najiang's suggestion was rejected, and he had to prepare for a strong attack.

After hitting a wall, Han Sui still didn't give up, hoping to ask the imperial physician for help from the imperial camp.

Quantity is not important, symbolism is the key.

If you agree to send an imperial doctor to help treat the wounded, will you feel that the troops are not enough and borrow a few more tigers?

You are borrowing tiger skins to raise the banner.

Not only Liu Xie thought of this, but Ma Teng also thought of it, and immediately said with a smile: "General Zhenxi really cares about the lives and deaths of his subordinates. I was not prepared enough, so I moved the imperial physician's mind."

Han Sui immediately said: "Wei Wei's words are serious, so how dare you. It's just that the camp has always been short of doctors and medicines. I heard that the imperial physician order and the imperial physician have trained many new apprentices, so I am bold. I want to ask your majesty to show me some imperial physicians Help. If the imperial physician cannot treat the soldiers, it is also possible to arrange a few apprentices."

Ma Teng was about to say more, but Liu Xie raised his hand. "Han Qing, the imperial medical office is a place where doctors gather, and it has the responsibility to treat the common people, let alone the soldiers in the army. How about this, since there are only 23 doctors in your army, why not let the imperial medical office take over the treatment of the wounded How about your affairs? Including Ling Cheng, there are more than 150 doctors in the Imperial Medical Office, so they should be able to help."

Before Han Sui could answer, the generals were already beaming with joy.

The Son of Heaven not only agreed to dispatch imperial physicians to assist in the treatment, but also arranged for the entire Imperial Medical Office to come over. The number of physicians increased by six or seven times at once. For the soldiers who attacked the city, it was undoubtedly a huge piece of good news. Casualties.

Han Sui, Han Yin and his son were also surprised. "There are so many people in the Imperial Medical Office?"

Liu Xie said with a smile: "It's not enough. I plan to have a professional healer in each team. Every soldier can understand the basic methods of battlefield treatment, carry the minimum medicine, and heal himself in time if he is injured."

He looked around and said earnestly: "Behind every soldier is a family. Although casualties are inevitable in combat, reducing casualties as much as possible and making every sacrifice worthwhile are the principles that a general must keep in mind."
