Long live the general

Wang Bi took a step forward, stood up with an unrivaled momentum, and said, "I don't think you can take the initiative to attack, but you still need to focus on defense."

He looked directly at the officials and said loudly: "There are three reasons. First, the Xiongnu live by water and grass, and they have no fixed place. They will not be fixed in any place. The desert is vast. After the army enters the desert, it is difficult to find the Huns. Every day in the desert is a huge drain on the army. Most importantly, not only can we not find the main force of the Huns, we also don’t know where the headquarters of the Huns are. Even if we annihilate some troops , but it will not completely wipe out the Xiongnu, but will anger them, leading to more violent attacks and? Retaliation. All the efforts made by the previous dynasty were in vain."

"May I ask you all, who can guarantee that the Xiongnu will be found with the army?"

Huo Yi and the others didn't speak.

Wang Bi raised his head and raised his chest, and continued with a high-spirited momentum: "The second reason is that Dayue's troops cannot fight against the Huns. Facing the Huns' cavalry, we will definitely lose."

After Li Yi heard this, her thick eyebrows immediately stood up, and she was about to stand up as soon as she bent her legs? She spat: "You—" Fucking fart!

Huo Yi knew what he was going to say just by the shape of his mouth, so he pulled it down, and held down the furious Sheriff Yuanfang.

Disrespect in front of the palace is also a crime, he is clearly called Li Yi, why is he acting so recklessly!

Without the slightest fear, Wang Bi turned to the emperor and said, "The disadvantages of infantry versus cavalry, I think you generals know better than I do. What I'm going to talk about today is an old story."

"At the end of the Xia Dynasty, the country was in turmoil. All parties rose up and the situation was chaotic. Gaozu took advantage of the situation and wiped out the Xia king in one fell swoop and established Dayue. At that time, Gaozu had millions of elite soldiers and many famous generals. He wanted to conquer the Huns in the north. , once and for all. Gaozu personally led the army to go out, but was besieged by the Huns in Guma City for seven days..."

It was a period of history that the Dai Viet Dynasty didn't want to recall but was mentioned repeatedly. It was called the bone-horse trap.Every time it is mentioned, people feel more fear of the Huns.Gao Zu was nearly killed in the city of bone horses, and it was there that Dai Viet negotiated with Khan Khan, the Hun, to secure a fragile peace with annual offerings, princesses and relatives.

"Gaozu overthrew the Xia Dynasty with millions of soldiers, but still lost to the Xiongnu. Now do you dare to say that you are stronger than Gaozu?"

The corners of Li Yi's mouth kept twitching. At least he knew whether he could compare with Gao Zu.Even if he really felt in his heart that he was better at fighting than Gao Zu, he couldn't say it out.

Seeing that the other side was speechless, Wang Bi became even more imposing. He wanted to completely occupy the right to speak today: "There is a third reason."

"Prime Minister, please speak." Zhou Zhenyan's tone was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and he always thought more in his heart than he said.

Wang Bi bowed deeply towards the emperor, then stood up, and said, "Even if we win, is it a good thing for Da Viet? To send troops to the north to attack the Huns, how many troops are needed. Going deep into the desert, a cavalry needs at least Six people and three horses are in charge of supplies. How much does it cost to feed an army capable of defeating the Huns, how much does it cost to recruit and train, and how much labor it takes. If there are fewer people in the farmland, taxes will decrease, and the expenditure of the army will increase sharply. How to maintain fiscal balance?"

"Even if the Xiongnu are defeated, they can still escape, but they will come back after 30 years. With a fruitless war, the frontier counties have been abandoned for a long time, people's livelihood is dying, the treasury is empty, and social turmoil , is it worth it?"

Huo Yi thought to himself, if Wang Bi is able to be the prime minister, he has some ability. Don't other scholar-officials understand what he said?It's just that he may not really care about the hardships of the common people, otherwise he wouldn't have raised that kind of nephew.

Wang Bi said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Gao Zu was in trouble. For the sake of the world and the common people, don't you raise troops and cultivate your life to nourish yourself, so that we have today's Dai Viet. Did Gao Zu ever hurt the world because of his own personal anger? The overall situation, The Xia Dynasty perished in frequent wars between China and China, Your Majesty, please think twice."

After he finished speaking, he backed away, and there was a long silence in the hall again.If the main fighters want to refute, they must come up with tenable reasons. Wang Bi raised Gao Zu out, so it can be said that he is at the pinnacle of morality and etiquette.

Zhou Zhenyan's eyes were silent, and he looked at the main fighters. Everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him.

Zhou Zhenzhen sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but want to stand up? Personally? Arguing with the prime minister, at this moment, he saw Huo Yi who had not moved all this time stood up?.

The black court clothes on Huo Yi looked extra slim. He stood upright and bowed to Wang Bi. The lines of his side face were smooth and beautiful. Under the light, he was like white porcelain, with a calm reserve and... Cold alienation.

Zhou Zhenyan blinked his eyes? Staring at him, he suddenly had the urge to send a lot of jade stones behind him.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true." Huo Yi's voice was low and gentle, echoing in the hall: "It's a pity that the people in Bianjun cannot agree with the painstaking efforts of the Prime Minister."

Wang Bi's eyes fell on him: "What's the opinion of Sheriff Huo?"

"This year's weather is good, and it's a good harvest year for Bian County." Huo Yi said, "It's a pity that the people of Jiuyuan County, Handan County, Hexi County, Yuanfang County, Jincheng County, and the five counties did not attract attention. Come? The harvest year. The Xiongnu invaded and crossed the Great Wall. With iron cavalry and sharp knives, they slaughtered tens of thousands of people and plundered officials. Wherever they went, blood flowed into rivers. Dozens of people have been replaced.”

When he said this, he glanced at the Taizhong doctor just now. The Taizhong doctor's face was ashen, and he couldn't help touching the back of his neck.

"It's just a pity that the tens of thousands of people, the officials who died in vain in their positions, couldn't hear the prime minister's generous speech, otherwise they would definitely cry bitterly."

Wang Bi glared angrily, but couldn't speak.Huo Yi turned a blind eye to his angry look, and continued: "The first question about the prime minister, I can answer it a little later. The Huns live by water and grass, and the ministers are divided into four groups, never? If we start from the same place and run through the desert in an encircling manner, we will definitely gain something.”

"As for the second question, the Prime Minister did not? He participated in the war on the border. He must not be too clear. The Huns are strong in iron and military horses. The Dai Viet Dynasty has been in charge of horses for many years. Today, there are 60 private horses and 20 horses in the army. There are a lot of good horses, enough to meet the needs of war. And the army has always? Attached?

Wang Bi had no room for comment on the affairs of the army. The army was under the control of Taiwei Murong An. Murong Ana? Can he get in? Get in!

When Huo Yi said this, Wang Bi didn't even know whether it was true or not, but Da Yue did? Will be looked down upon by others.

Huo Yi continued: "Also? There is a third point..."

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Wang Bi's forehead. Although Huo Yi's voice was nice, it was like a life-threatening talisman at the moment.

Huo Yi is sorting out his language. He has been in Bianjun for eight full years, and he has never let up a day during these eight years. He knows the whole Xihebian County from bottom to top like the palm of his hand, from the small case in the county seat to the garrison of the entire Bian County. The situation and economic and demographic development, and even the adjacent border counties, have also learned a lot.

It is too easy to let him come to refute the argument that the prime minister sits safely in Chang'an and floats in the air without any facts.

"Guardian Huo, let me do the third point? Explain it." At this moment, a hoarse voice came. Huo Yi turned sideways, and saw Zhang Lai, the chief farmer who had been squinting half-closed before. , suddenly stood up?

Zhang Laiqian was a young man. One of the reasons why a young man was able to sit on the position of Da Si Nong and one of the nine ministers was because of his outstanding ability.The second reason is that he has a very beautiful sister, Mrs. Zhang.

Whether it was to suppress the Wang family, or because he really liked Mrs. Zhang, or because he simply admired Zhang Laiqian's ability, Emperor Yueyun promoted Zhang Laiqian to the position of Da Sinonong.And Wang Yuan, Wang Bi's younger brother, is serving as the internal order of the capital under his command.

Therefore, Wang Bi was very unhappy to see Zhang Laiqian, but he couldn't remove Zhang Laiqian from the position of Da Sinong, because Zhang Laiqian was so young, and during his reign, there was no one. Make any mistakes!

Zhang Lai? Qianhe? His sister, Mrs. Zhang, looks a bit like her, with an oval face, creamy skin, and bulging eyes, beautiful and elegant phoenix eyes.But his face was black around his eyes, his hair was a little messy, and his voice was low and hoarse, as if he hadn't slept for half a month——Huo Yi felt a little intimacy.

Zhang Laiqian nodded slightly towards Huo Yi, his eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were in a trance, wondering whether he was closing his eyes to catch up on sleep, or pretending to be extremely deep.

No? But when he looked directly at Prime Minister Wang, his beautiful Danfeng eyes became extremely clear like a knife drawn out of its sheath.

Wang Bi’s last point was about people’s livelihood, that is, economic issues. When it comes to the money in the treasury, if Zhang Laiqian doesn’t stand up, he will feel sorry for the emperor’s beating a few days ago.

"Prime Minister, regarding the military expenditure you mentioned, I have already prepared it." God knows that he was forced by the emperor to plan the military expenditure before the court meeting. He squatted in the study room every day and pulled his hair to settle accounts. Finally, Calculate the money clearly, and prepare all the backup materials properly.

His Majesty the Emperor? No? Be a man!

Zhang Laiqian's resentment towards the emperor was all sprayed on Prime Minister Wang Bi.Next? Next, he explained the total military expenses of the four armies, where they were allocated, how to purchase supplies, and how to dispatch supplies. He made it clear.A large number of numbers spewed out from his mouth, shooting at the advocates and factions like sharp swords, making them languid and speechless.

In the end, Zhang Laiqian said: "The Huns are wolfish ambitions, and the sacrifice can't satisfy the greed of the Huns. How about rewarding the soldiers who fought bravely and defended the country with the money offered to the Huns."

Wang Bi retorted with difficulty: "But..."

Zhang Laiqian didn't give him a chance to speak: "If the prime minister insists on bribing the Xiongnu with gold coins and goods in order to preserve his head and head, why not? How about the prime minister's mansion come to pay the money. After all, the prime minister's mansion can Raising [-] followers, intentionally murdering people, running rampant in the city, and being extremely majestic, it must be so short of this little money."

Zhang Laiqian's words pointed directly at Prime Minister Wang's previous connivance of his disciples to commit murder.

Wang Bi's face darkened, he got up abruptly, and said sharply: "Little yellow-haired boy, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Laiqian smiled, raised his eyelids, and said, "Your Excellency, what's your opinion?"

"Zhuzi is young, can't he do things well? He knows the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, isn't he a hundred years old? He once fought with the Huns and made a mistake, can you afford it?" Wang Bi raised his eyebrows: "Zhang Dasinong, you are still too young , but we know that everything is not so easy."

Zhou Zhenyan twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that what Wang Chengxiang said was probably pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Wang Bi went on to say: "You want to fight, and you have listed all kinds of reasons, and the military expenditure and combat power are also calculated clearly. Unfortunately, Gaozu's calculations were more clear than yours! The 30 army can't match the Xiongnu. Resistance, how could the [-] troops make any splashes in the desert!"

Zhang Laiqian only calculated the accounts clearly, and was not sure about the army's combat. He turned his head to look at Huo Yi, shrugged, and his Danfeng eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

Huo Yi stood up and said: "At the beginning the 30 army was infantry, and the Xiongnu sent out 40 cavalry. They laid down in advance and trapped Gaozu in Bone Horse City. In terms of combat effectiveness, the people of Dayue never? Never? Lose to any foreign race."

Li Yi said in a loud voice: "Prime Minister Wang, the old man beheaded more Huns than you have raised!"

Wang Bi's face turned blue again, Huo Yi smiled, his voice is not? Is it sick? Xu: "In that case, shouldn't Da Yue return? Should he bow down to the Huns? Does the Huns look down on them? Weak and small countries will only make progress. If there is even a chance, Dai Viet should give up defense and focus on counterattack."

"Dare to fight back when there is only a chance, Huo Junshou is so arrogant!" Wang Bi then asked: "Da Viet has spent a hundred years trying to maintain peace and develop national power. Once war starts, the Xiongnu will attack more violently. Forefathers All the sacrifices they have made are in vain, let alone if you win, if you lose, what are you responsible for! Those soldiers who died and civilians who were retaliated by? Can you afford it?"

"Or do you mean that Governor Huo is going to die like your father who was defeated in the war!"

After Wang Bi finished speaking, he felt helpless to refute, and looked aggressively at Huo Yi, only to find that Huo Yi's face was expressionless, his black pupils were frozen, and his eyelashes like crow feathers drooped down and fell on his face. ?heavy? shadows.

In the suddenly silent hall, the sound of Huo Yi's footsteps was so clear.

"What do you want, what are you going to do!" Facing the approaching Huo Yi, Wang Bi couldn't help but take two steps back: "This is a court meeting, no, no..." It can't be done.

Huo Junshou is eight feet long and has a slender and powerful body. He has been practicing martial arts and archery all year round. He can break stones with his three stone bows.Prime Minister Wang lived in the inner city, and his belly was bigger than his breath. He had to pant for five steps, and needed support for ten steps.When the two stood together, the gap became more obvious. Presumably Huo Junshou could knock Prime Minister Wang down with one punch? It took a long time.

"My lord prime minister, why do you say Da Yue suffers from hardship?" Huo Yi's voice was deep, like the depressing wind in the desert.

Wang Bi took it for granted: "For what, of course it is to protect the people of Dai Viet..." After he finished speaking, he knew that he had fallen into a passive state.

No? You shouldn't answer this question.

Huo Yi shook his head: "Then? Did we protect the people of Dayue? With such a humiliating means, did we get border peace?"

Wang Bi: "..."

Huo Yi took another step forward, and said in a cold voice: "Da Yue has been cultivating his life and rest for many years, just to hide his strength and bide his time. It is not because he is incompetent! Gao Zu suffered a lot for revenge, but after a hundred years, we are indulging in false peace. Lost Dai Viet's blood!"

"If the people of Dai Viet can drive out the Xiongnu once, they can drive out the second time. We are paid by the court and loved by all people. How can we just sit back and watch the world? The common people are humiliated!"

"Master Prime Minister, don't you? If you want to be worthy of the common people, you must at least be worthy of your own salary." This is what the emperor often said to him, and Huo Yi doesn't know what's going on, so he just said it casually ?

Li Yi stood up abruptly, followed by impassioned words: "Dayue country, can't you take an inch? We can't give in! We will let the Huns pay for their blood!"

Wang Bi was dumbfounded, watching the two sang and chorused, and they were completely defeated.

He moved out of Gaozu, and Huo Yi also moved out of Gaozu, and he was even better than him, and he countered very well.

The main faction and the faction looked at each other. At this time, who stood up again? Speaking, it means that they are not loyal or righteous, and they don't care about the life and death of the people.

Zhou Zhenxuan looked at his Governor Huo, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He coughed lowly and said, "The border has been persecuted and the people have been displaced. They are like my children. Who can bear to see their children being killed?" , but remained indifferent.”

Zhang Laiqian arched his hands, and said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, be merciful, I think Prime Minister Wang must understand the feeling of being so anxious for his children and not caring about everything."

He was really holding on to the previous incident today, wouldn't he? He was willing to let go. Half of the resentment in Wang Bi's heart was given to him, but the other half was given to his younger brother, and that stupid nephew.

If not? It's the father and son, why should he let the Zhang family kid sneer here.

After the emperor finished speaking, it was almost a certainty. Wang Bi guessed that no one would stand up again. He was very dissatisfied.

At this moment, a man stood up abruptly and said, "Your Majesty, I think the time has not yet come for the Northern Expedition to the Huns."

It was Zhonglang Gongsun Yang who spoke.

Zhou Zhenzhen raised his chin: "What's your opinion, Gongsun Qing?"

Gongsun Yang passed Wang Bi and bowed deeply to the emperor: "The Xiongnu in Dayue is just a pain in the skin. I believe that the disease of Dayue lies in the interior."

Huo Yi glanced at him, Gongsun Yang's views actually coincided with his, but they had the same views but different ideas.

"Since the Central Plains is safe, the barbarians will be subdued by themselves. It is the old husband who wants to fight against the outside world, he must first settle down at home. If the country has no external worries, there must be internal troubles. External worries do not cross border affairs, but can be prevented. ; but treacherous evil has no shape, if it is an internal trouble, it is deeply to be feared." For Gongsun Yang, of course, he still likes His Majesty the Emperor the most, and puts the emphasis on his own ideas.

"Gongsun Zhonglang is right, but it's just that the Xiongnu's knife is more powerful than you can imagine. It is the pain of severed limbs. Ten years ago, the Xiongnu had annexed dozens of nomadic tribes and drove them out of the grassland. He? Desert. Now the Xiongnu dominates the grassland and is invincible." Huo Yi said: "If you don't defend against the enemy, the Central Plains is also the only thing in the pocket of the military officials. The Xiongnu's cavalry may not be able to reach Chang'an."

Wang Bi shook his face: "Don't scare me, kid..."

Huo Yi glanced at him, then got down on one knee, and said to the emperor: "My minister, Huo Yi, is willing to lead troops into the desert. If there is nothing to gain, he will be punished according to the military law."

This sentence is light and cold, but it has more weight than the previous words.

Zhou Zhenyan stared at his figure, his straight body was wrapped in thin court clothes, his neck was long, and his cold white skin was submerged in the black court clothes.

The emperor felt a surge of enthusiasm. He believed that brother Huo could bring victory, and hoped that brother Huo could break the passive situation of Dai Viet.

Zhou Zhenxie stood up and said in a clear voice: "Confer Huo Yi as General of Chariots, Murong Yuan as General of Cavalry, Zhao Pingan as General of Qingche, and Li Yi as General of Xiaoqi. After two months, we will send troops to attack the Huns in the north!"

Except for Huo Yi, the other three took orders one after another.

Zhou Zhenzhen stepped down quickly, helped Huo Yi up, and said loudly: "From now on, the people of Da Viet will not need to bow their heads to any foreign race. We were born in this land, and we have been in the same line, and we have supported each other until now. The teachings of our ancestors are absolutely endless. Don't dare to forget, rather fold than bend, this is the backbone of Dai Viet people!"

"We must use our swords to tell the peepers outside that Dai Viet never?

"May you all be victorious."

At the court meeting, several people from the main combat faction were in high spirits, but as soon as they left the palace gate, Li Yi's face collapsed.

"Two months, it's too difficult." Li Yi also deeply felt that His Majesty didn't intend to be a man at all, and said: "The cavalry elite selected from various armies must at least train together if they want to work together. About two months."

Even so, Li Yi is still very excited. At his current age, there are only a few years left to fight.If Dai Viet had been carrying out a defensive policy, he would have stopped at being a county guard in his life.And if this attack fails, the emperor will be more cautious in his next move, and it may not be his turn.

He must seize this opportunity!

"Guardian Huo, do you think we can bring over soldiers from Bianjun?" Li Yi felt that it was easy for his own people to use.

The problem of troop deployment is actually quite complicated, isn't it? It means that you can deploy as you want.If the cavalry from the border counties went to fight with them, where would they deploy troops to guard the border, and the Huns took advantage of this opportunity to fight over? What should we do?

"It should be possible to transfer the personal soldiers and the captain." Huo Yi himself was going to bring Zhang Duwei and others, and Qiu Hongguang with him.

Thoughtful, Li Yi still said, "Two months, isn't that enough time..."

Huo Yi sent him away, and walked a few steps slower by himself.

He also felt that the time limit of two months was too tight. Huo Yi was required to come? Look, fusion training would take at least three months.In short, before the war, everything must be ready, and an overwhelming victory should be achieved from the preparation work.Has he already fought a war? He is ready to use tactics or ingenuity to win. The best way is to win the few with the more, and win the weak with the strong.

However, the current situation does not wait for others, and nine out of ten things in the world are not as expected. At his age, he has learned to accept the tricks of fate.

"Governor Huo, what a majesty." Prime Minister Wang walked beside him heavily, and said in a low voice, "It reminds me of General Huo back then. "

Huo Yi nodded slightly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your praise. Surely your son will never let the Prime Minister down."

The whole city of Chang'an knew that Prime Minister Wang had no son at all.

Prime Minister Wang never thought that Huo Yi could be so sharp-tongued. He brought this person into his field of vision again, and snorted coldly: "It's just that General Huo's demeanor is not good enough, which makes people sad, Governor Huo." But don't be like him."

Let him speak coldly, but Huo Yi remained silent: "My lord, let's encourage each other."

Wang Bi snorted coldly, and left in a mighty manner with a group of people behind him.

Huo Yi stood for a while, in fact, he was waiting for Zhang to come to dive in, and wanted to ask about the military expenditure in person.But come here? Come and go, I haven't seen Da Sinong.Huo Yi was about to leave when someone stopped him.

"Governor Huo, please stay." Gongsun Yang stood in the hall, with his hands hanging down, half of his body hidden in the darkness, his face was dim and unclear: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

Huo Yi saluted him and said, "Please speak, Gongsun Zhonglang."

When Gongsun Yang came out, his face was wrinkled due to years of hard life, and he didn't look like a counselor: "Your Majesty allowed you to send troops, which shows that in his heart, solving foreign enemies is more important than solving internal troubles."

"But I'm really worried about being an official." Gongsun Yang said slowly: "No matter how rich they were, wars will easily drag the entire dynasty into a quagmire. With the wealth accumulated by the previous emperors alone, it is possible to fight How many battles. In order to suppress the Quartet, the Xia Dynasty resorted to military force, causing refugees to lose their homes, and finally the world? Chaos, such a lesson, only 100 years have passed.”

"Gongsun Zhonglang, are you worried about your majesty? Are you caught in a war?" Seeing that Gongsun Yang was silent, Huo Yi said softly, "Your majesty, you know what you are doing. Regardless of external and internal troubles, he is equally important in his heart." You must, that's why you will use Gongsun Jun again. From the body of a commoner, you can be directly named Zhonglang. In the past dynasties, there has never been such a thing. Your Majesty? Employers don't look at their background, but only at their abilities."

"For Your Majesty, whether it's war or reform, it's just a means." Huo Yi smiled: "It's because of Gongsun Jun in the court that Your Majesty is relieved to let us go out to fight."

Gongsunyang looked at him clearly for a while, and said, "Isn't Huo Junshou? It's enough, it's a blockbuster."

Huo Yi watched him leave and rubbed the corners of his brows.

Strange, when he was in Xihebian County, his interpersonal relationship was obviously very simple. After coming back, within a month, many people suddenly appeared around him... He waited for a while, and there was a small yellow door Come here? Said: "General Huo, Da Sinong has gone to the back hall to see Mrs. Zhang."

Only then did Huo Yi understand why he couldn't see him? When he arrived at Da Sinong, it seems that he went directly to the apse.

After Huo Yi returned home, he was still thinking about how to tell his mother that he was going to fight. After thinking about it, Cong Yunmeng still thought that he was staying in the Northern Army, so it was unnecessary Explain too much.

In the afternoon, the palace sent the seal ribbon and the talisman of the chariot and cavalry general. Only with the talisman in hand can we mobilize troops and horses.

As expected, Cong Yunmeng didn't ask any more questions. In the afternoon, Huo Yi wrote a letter to Tao Jiamu, mentioning the emperor's intention of the Northern Expedition and reforms, and asked Qiu Hongguang and several other captains to come to Chang'an.He also asked about the situation in Xihebian County. At the end of the letter, he thought about adding a few words of greetings to Tao Jiamu.

Huo Yi reckoned that if he resigned from the post of Xihe County Sheriff, Tao Jiamu should take over.

After writing the letter, Huo Yi asked Huo Xiaoman to deliver the letter.

When the evening approached, Huo Yi took the seal ribbon and went to sit in the ancestral hall by himself for a while.

Huo Fengnian's tablet is erected in the center, with his portrait behind it.Huo Yi and his own father look alike, with sharp eyes and a straight nose.Fortunately, the other Wufen inherited his mother's gentleness and gentleness, and neutralized Huo Fengnian's evil spirit, so that he didn't appear so aggressive.However, when he is expressionless, he often makes people feel uneasy to approach.

At this time, Huo Fengnian was in the portrait, and he was not angry at himself. His eyes were fixed on his youngest son, and he wore a sword on his waist, showing great power.

It's just that he has protected Huo Yi all his life, and Huo Yi is not afraid of him.

"Father, I'm a chariot general again." Huo Yi sat with his legs bent, rubbing the cold seal with his hands: "It's the same as before, no? But this time, I don't have you in front of me."

The cold wind blows in through the crack of the door? Huo Yi straightened his back: "As you said, the fate of the people of Da Viet can't be manipulated by foreigners. I always think that the people of Da Viet have never? The infantry cannot adapt to the cavalry's fighting style, and the Dai Viet cavalry will also become a nightmare for the Huns."

"I will go deep into the desert again, and go farther than before. Where the Huns can walk freely, the people of Dayue can also... Father, please protect me."

Bless me to go deep into the desert and have a smooth journey, to avenge you and brother?

Bless me to return victorious, and at least save my life so that I can take care of my mother and Huo Lingyue.

When he said this, he finally knelt down and kowtowed three times to Huo Fengnian.

The next day, Huo Yi met with other generals, and then went to the palace to discuss the army and military expenses with His Majesty.

Da Sinong Zhang Laiqian was also there, sitting there lightly, holding the account book in his hand, and muttering in his mouth.

In addition to the Northern Army's own [-] cavalry, Zhou Zhenqian transferred another [-] cavalry, each of the four generals received [-] cavalry, trained outside Chang'an, and set off in two months.

Their plan was that Murong Yuan set off from Jiuyuan County, Zhao Pingan set off from Handan County, Huo Yi set off from Hexi County, and Li Yi set off from Yuanfang County, crossing the desert like a dog's teeth.

Of course it's definitely not wandering around in the desert. According to the collected information and previous experience, there is a high probability of encountering the Huns.

They discussed for a long time, Zhang Lai? Potential return? The specific arrangements came to the distribution of luggage? The distribution of convoys, the people of Da Viet needed to bring food for the war, [-] people, how much to eat per meal, how much to eat in a day, how much to eat in a month, calculated? It is a huge numbers.

Huo Yi paid more attention to the issue of logistics supplies than others, sitting next to Zhang Laiqian and asked for a long time, including how much millet, how much alfalfa, how long they can be stored, and when they will be shipped to Xihebian County.The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The military food must be transported to the battlefield first, and then sent in a steady stream after it has penetrated into the desert.

Raising food and grass is a complicated job, and the Dasinong is responsible for the overall arrangement, and there is a large group of people who do specific work, such as publishing proclamations, collecting taxes and paying food.

After they discussed for a long time, Zhang Laiqian suddenly said, "Nine days later it will be the Lantern Festival."

The Lantern Festival is quite lively, and it is a festival that Dayue attaches great importance to. On that day, the curfew will be lifted in Chang'an City, and banquets will be held in the palace.

All the people present have families.Li Yi's son is in his teens, Murong Yuan is the youngest son of the Murong family, and there are several concubines in the family, Zhao Ping'an has a wife and son, and when it comes to the Lantern Festival, everyone can't help feeling a little desire for reunion.

What Zhang Lai asked subconsciously was: "Your Majesty, is the Lantern Festival banquet going to be held as usual?" He wanted to calculate the money for the palace banquet by the way.

Zhou Zhenzhen still? I remember that the palace banquet on the Lantern Festival was very grand and decorated with lights and festoons. He pondered for a moment and said, "Change the time of the palace banquet to noon."

Zhang Laiqian couldn't help but asked, "Why?"

"We need to light candles for the banquet at night." Zhou Zhenyan said, "By the way, don't tie up the lanterns, because lighting them can cause a fire."

Zhang Laiqian: Then, why not celebrate the Lantern Festival! !The biggest highlight of the Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival!

"On the day of the palace banquet, please come to the banquet with your loved ones." Zhou Zhenzhen warmly invited me: "It's lively."

He still knows how to balance work and rest. Before departure, can these generals rest for a while to connect with each other.

In the next few days, troops from all sides arrived one after another. Huo Yi led [-] cavalrymen. He first got acquainted with a few school lieutenants, and then began to train troops.

The four generals have different training styles? The same, Huo Yi stares at them every day, extremely strict, even worse than Huo Fengnian at the beginning.However, if he did a good job, Huo Yi would pay his own money to treat the soldiers to eat meat. The barracks wafted a strong smell of meat every day.Li Yi's military training is very casual, but he has other requirements, and he is often assessed. As long as he can pass the assessment, he doesn't care about it.He usually also likes to play games with the soldiers, archery or wrestling, and he can get along well with everyone.

Time soon came to the palace banquet? On the day, the emperor invited all the two thousand stone officials to the palace banquet.Cong Yunmeng is not convenient to go, Huo Yi originally wanted to participate alone, but Cong Yunmeng said, why not take Huo Lingyue.

Huo Lingyue stood aside and watched eagerly, trying her best not to look so eager.

"Then? Let's go." Huo Yi wanted to take the children to see it? That's not wrong, although there are no lanterns, the palace banquet during the day is nothing to see.

He originally thought that he was the only one who brought the child to the palace banquet, but he did not expect that both Li Yi and Chen Zhonglang brought the child.And there are some other people, just this group of second-generation officials is enough to make a table.

Li Yi's child is a tall boy, and he was carved out of the same mold as Li Yi, and he has also practiced martial arts well.The Li family is the real family of generals, and they have been generals since the Xia Dynasty.The Li family was the one who expelled the Huns back then, so Li Yi had a strong will for the Northern Expedition.

Chen Zhonglang's son, Chen Menghe, was sitting in a wooden wheelchair.

Facing everyone's eyes, he himself was very calm, with a smile on his lips, and greeted his elders politely.

And his mother, Chen Zhonglang's wife, is a gentle and beautiful woman with a lingering sadness in her eyes. When she and her son Chen Menghe came to Huo Yi's side, Huo Yi smelled something on her body. The scent of thuja in Taoist temples.

Huo Yi suddenly remembered that Chen Zhonglang gave him a jade pendant before, which was bought by his wife in the Taoist temple.

Presumably this lady often goes to the Taoist temple to pray for her son.
