"Of course we need to save him, but we need to think carefully about why. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to save Li Guang, but we will get caught up with him!"
Looking at the almost unsolvable terrain on the sand table, no one was interested in talking for a while.
Wu Guoxiang never expected that there would be such a big flaw outside Yunzhong City.
I have been too careless these years. The smooth sailing over the years has made me, a lieutenant, feel a little complacent. Such an important thing has not been discovered for a long time.
So much so that now there is such a result, but now no matter what he says, it is too late, the situation has deteriorated to this point. I'm afraid Li Guang is really in danger this time. If Shangjun falls, then this matter will be unsolved.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Shangjun City. If the city is destroyed, they may become prisoners of the Huns. There are also many craftsmen in Shangjun City. If the Huns capture them, it will be unimaginable...
"You go down and prepare first. As for how to rescue, let me think about it again!"
For the time being, they couldn't come up with any good solution. One of them was the Taifu of Dai Kingdom, and the other was the lieutenant of Dai Kingdom. They saw that the war was about to begin. At this time, they still had many things to do. To be disposed of.
"Your Majesty, this matter was caused by my oversight. I am willing to personally lead an army to rescue General Li Guang!"
Wu Guoxiang gritted his teeth, then knelt down on one knee and said.
"I can't blame you for this. Although you are the lieutenant of our country, you can't travel all over the mountains and rivers of our country. You go down first. Now that the war is about to begin, you are indispensable for our country..."
Liu Deng also began to think hard. It seems that there is really no one to fight with in the whole court. Is it possible that he should directly play in person?
The current traffic situation really makes Liu Deng want to complain. If he wants to enter Shangjun, he can't avoid a place like Ziwu Valley. For so many years, no one in Manchuria has thought about building another road. .
But no matter how much he complains now, things are already like this, and he still has to find a way to solve it. With 20,000 remaining soldiers, if he wants to defend 40,000 Xiongnu elite soldiers, if no one rescues him, Li Guang will be in danger...
What makes Liu Deng most uncomfortable is that after calculation, he actually has no one on hand to lead the battle.
This country was originally poor and weak, and the number of troops that the whole country could mobilize was really limited. As for the generals who could lead troops in battle, they were now nothing more than a carrot.
They have all been sent to the front line to defend the Huns. Do you really want to lead the troops in battle?
Although Guan Fu is brave, he is currently preparing to build the Mo Dao Army, and he has no experience in leading troops in combat. He is almost like a new soldier on the battlefield...
Liu Deng thought about it and had no good solution. In a depressed mood, he just wanted to go out for a walk. When he walked to the back garden, he heard his mother and sister talking in the distance.
"Auntie, do you think my brother can win this time?"
Liu Qian's voice was full of anxiety. To others, this battle was just an invasion by the Huns. As long as they were sent out of the country as gifts, there would be no big problem.
Anyway, these Huns come every year, and this is not the first time. But for her, if they just send gifts out of the country, it will be a disaster.
In recent years, basically every three or two years, the imperial court would send a princess out to get married.
The Huns themselves joked that a princess could buy three years of peace and the Han Dynasty would make a lot of money...
Now I see that the last time a princess got married was three years ago. Of course, the person who got married that time was just a fake princess, just the eldest daughter of the royal family.
In fact, the Huns themselves knew that this was no secret. What the Huns only cared about was the dowry that the princess brought when she got married.
As for the princess herself, whether she was a noble daughter of the Han family or not, it actually didn't matter to them.
As long as they are the eldest daughter of the royal family, they can accept it...
A few years ago, when she was still young, this kind of thing was certainly not her fault, but now, she is in her prime.
Moreover, she is the princess of Dai Kingdom. I am afraid that if there is a marriage this time, she will not be able to escape...
The mother originally wanted to marry her off first, thus avoiding her fate of getting married. However, King Zhao's son was really not a good match.
Not only is that guy a dandy, but it is said that he already has more than a dozen concubines before he reaches his prime. How will he live after marrying such a lustful ghost?
Fortunately, her brother interfered with the marriage, otherwise, she would have really wanted to die.
"Don't worry, my brother will come back with a big victory for you in the next few days. You will know by then that the Huns are not what I brag about. They are no match for me at all. How can those barbarians know how to fight!"
Liu Deng interrupted the little girl, haha, and walked out laughing.
"Brother, I heard that the Huns came this time in greater numbers than before. Can you really beat them all away?"
Liu Qian still couldn't believe it and asked again with a trembling voice.
"Of course it's no problem. Who is this talkative person talking in your ear?"
Liu Deng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this is really a good thing. If you don't go out, bad things will spread thousands of miles!
Even my sister, who is not secretive about world affairs, now knows that the Huns came with 80,000 people this time, and I don’t know what those Huns thought about dispatching so many troops this time.
According to past experience, the number of troops they send every year is only about 40,000 to 50,000. After all, they mainly focus on plundering and do not really want to break through the Han Dynasty's city.
The Han army is good at defending the city, and the Huns are good at fighting in the field. If the two directions meet in the wild, the Han army will indeed be unable to fight. But if they defend the city, the Han army's combat effectiveness will be doubled.
After all, the Huns were not good at making instruments. Although they had slowly begun to learn the skills of the Han Dynasty during the war with the Han Dynasty over the years, this was not something that could be achieved overnight.
The crudely made things they used to bully the people from the Western Regions were fine, but compared with the ingenious people of the Han Dynasty, it was just a trick.
"Okay, you go and play first, keep your heart in your stomach, and after a few days, my brother will show you what the Hun King's sword looks like!"
Liu Deng's heart was full of pity for this sister who was not related to him by blood. In later generations, girls aged fourteen or fifteen were rebellious, but she was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken...
Even for himself, he couldn't make things easier for the Huns. Damn it, isn't it just marching and fighting?
