Although Ji Yan didn't quite know what Liu Guang's sudden laughter meant.
Liu Guang looked up to the sky and laughed, and sighed heavily after finishing.
"The reformer is a great event in the world. Today's Xiongnu Khan is also an ambitious and courageous person. With him, the Xiongnu clan will definitely become rich and powerful. And he wants to stabilize the reform and break the traditional natural habits of the Xiongnu for thousands of years. You How much do you think he has to pay?”
Ji Yan thought for a moment after hearing this, and said rationally: "If this is the case, this will probably be much more difficult than our daily reform. After all, we have always had laws, and it is difficult for this group of ethnic minorities to respect the law. …”
Liu Guang nodded: "How can this difficulty be described with the sentence "It's harder than reaching the sky?"
In fact, it is indeed true. People usually have an easy path to evil and selfishness, but trying to make them selfless is many times more difficult than killing them.
In their own words: if people do not serve themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth.
They can spend more time on the expansion of their own selfish desires, and they will never use it on doing serious things.
"So the reason why the Xiongnu Khan wants to move all the elites here this time is probably because he has such determination."
When Ji Yan heard this statement, his pupils shrank. In the past few years, he had spent all his thoughts on the country, especially on the protection of the people in various border areas.
Even if some people want to interfere with it, or even want to replace her rights, as long as she is willing to protect the people, she will turn a blind eye.
Because Ji Yan's original plan was not to control the entire world as a weak woman.
So there are many things, she always chooses to turn a blind eye or close one eye.
As for the will to reform despite the risk of death.
For a moment she didn't know how to speak.
Liu Guang stood up slowly and gently rubbed Ji Yan's head with his hand, with a smile on his face.
"I want to marry you."
This sentence was said so softly that Ji Yan blushed and lowered his head.
Then Liu Guang kissed her directly, and then fell on the bed.
Early the next morning, Liu Guang put on his armor, held a spear in his hand, and slowly climbed up the city wall.
After seeing Liu Guang, the two generals hurriedly saluted respectfully. Liu Guang waved to them, stood on the city wall and looked up into the distance, seeing the densely packed Huns soldiers, and fell into silence.
With this number of people, anyone who comes will be frightened!
"How many more of our defenders are there?"
"fifty thousand!"
The two generals did not hide the number of soldiers they still had. Liu Guang frowned. Adding his own 30,000 horses, the number was a full 80,000.
But looking at the front, the number of Huns soldiers is probably far greater than 100,000.
Before this life, he found it extremely difficult.
"This dynasty is nonsense to me. It was promised that there would only be 300,000 horses, but now there are nearly 400,000!"
Liu Guang kept cursing in his heart.
In his previous life, he had read too many historical books, and he knew that the normal number of soldiers for a country was one-tenth of the total population.
If this number is exceeded, the basic machinery of the country cannot function.
Once the basic machines cannot operate, the entire comprehensive national strength cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, the number of soldiers in any country cannot exceed one-tenth of the population, and one-tenth is also an almost collapse number.
After all, the land's production capacity was really limited at that time.
So when you see Xiao Zhan who was recorded in history as having an army of hundreds of thousands, that is pure nonsense. A total of tens of millions of people managed an army of several million.
Isn't this just bragging and trying to push the envelope?
Liu Guang just felt like he was sweating. Calculated based on this number, his family actually has a population of nearly 20 million. If we really wanted to find this number, I'm afraid there would still be many, many people.
The reason why there were only 300,000 people registered in the previous government statistics is that there may be some false reports and some under-reports.
The true number of soldiers in the entire dynasty should be around 500,000.
One-tenth does not reach about one-twentieth, which is still a considerable number.
"Can you two make a visual estimate of how many enemy troops there are?"
The two looked at each other and said a number that was not too exaggerated, a total of 130,000.
Liu Guang was shocked when he heard this number, but he did not show it.
"As expected, I heard that you cannot besiege a city without ten times the number of enemy troops. It seems that it will be easy for you to defend the pass."
In fact, this was just Liu Guangxiang's reaction to the arrival of the two of them. He was not a fool. He really felt that if the number of enemy troops was not ten times the number, they would not pose a threat.
"Reporting to your majesty, although the ancients said so, the so-called ten times the number at that time was when the world was still in a righteous state, and there were many restraints not to kill. This principle is no longer applicable today."
Liu Guang nodded, indicating that he was clear.
"Even if you defend the city, I will personally participate. Don't worry about the battle against the Huns."
The two generals twitched their mouths when they heard this. They didn't quite believe Liu Guang's words.
After all, looking at him like this, he didn't seem to be participating in the war.
Although he is wearing a suit of armor, it is too polished and shiny, and it always gives you the feeling that you are just standing here to show off.
Liu Guang naturally understood their thoughts from the eyes of the two of them. He didn't explain too much. He just supported it with his hands and stood on the city wall.
He looked down at the Huns below from a high position, his eyes full of coldness.
It was as if the people standing below were a swarm of ants, and they would be trampled to death by his kick at any time. It was not enough for him to take a serious look at them.
The two generals behind him were so frightened when they saw this action that they hurried forward to warn them, but they were also afraid that the emperor, who treated murder like child's play, would swing his butcher knife at them again.
Then he stepped back.
This is not to say that Liu Guang killed the two people and left a psychological shadow on the two of them, but he was afraid that Liu Guang would find a reason to affect his decision-making and kill the two of them.
Since ancient times, there has been a law called the crime of driving on suspicion. Isn't it just that the emperor simply found a weird reason to kill people?
Therefore, the two of them tacitly agreed not to take action, allowing Liu Guang to stand there and become a target for the enemy.
However, Liu Guangke did not feel that he was a target. His eyes quickly searched for their leader among the Xiongnu group.
As the saying goes, to catch the thief first, catch the king. As long as you can find the opponent's coach, what's the harm in leading the team yourself?
