The Xiongnu still led the army to charge Yanzhou three times.

The Hun prince even personally led a charge and almost broke through the southwestern city gate that time.

Fortunately, Liu Guang personally went out with one shot and one cavalry when necessary, and then the enemy's advancing offensive was stopped amidst thundering cheers.

However, it is undeniable that the Xiongnu's attacks are smarter and smarter every time. They cannot defend for long like this.

So Liu Guang personally talked with the two of them. However, in the end, the troops and manpower were really limited, so Liu Guang decided to stand on the city wall himself.

But all this is just an appearance.

Because his real strength is not here, but the 30,000 people under his command. Twenty thousand people are no longer in Yanzhou, but have returned to Jizhou.

"The enemy is coming fiercely, but what we really need to guard against is the idea behind them."

That day Liu Guang pointed to the grassland in the distance.

This statement makes it obvious that the Huns would never go south without any reason.

This time in Datong, according to his original plan, it was enough to just harass and let General Sun Sheng's main troops be involved by their clan.

But what about the Huns? He actually directly defeated Datong!

It was obvious that Sun Sheng chose to let go.

The reason why Sun Sheng released the water was to use the Xiongnu to do something. The current situation is very obvious. He just wanted to use the Xiongnu to attack Dong Qing's troops from a flank, and then let the Xiongnu tribe withdraw, and then he would eat them himself. Beijing.

It's just that he may not have thought that he would suddenly kill him with his men, and he didn't know where he got a jade seal to spread the word to the world, letting everyone know about it.

In fact, this kind of thing is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

If it were any ordinary emperor, he would never choose to do this.

Because once you do this, it is equivalent to delegating all the power of the capital. Whoever has the ability will compete, and it is unlikely that you will win.

However, he has taken over several important border towns one after another, and holds tens of thousands of heavy troops in his hands. Relatively speaking, his competitiveness is much greater.

But it's just a lot bigger, and it still doesn't have an absolute advantage.

Liu Guang looked deeply at the Hun prince in the distance, his eyes full of contempt.

"Bring me my spear!"

Liu Guang stretched out his right hand, and the two generals behind him hurriedly handed over their spears.

"Your Majesty, you are the majestic Ninth Five-Year Plan, why..."

Liu Guang smiled and waved his hand at him: "The emperor guards the country, the king dies in the country, and when the country is in danger, I am the general. If you don't take the lead in killing foreigners, won't you let the enemy prince see my joke in the Central Plains?"

A sentence is calm and every word is sonorous and powerful.

This made the two generals freeze in place for a moment. If they were to search for this sentence deep in their memories, I am afraid it was still a long, long time ago.

It's not that the emperor defends the country and the king dies in the country, but when facing foreigners, if the few don't raise their heads and rush to kill, won't they let the enemy see my joke in the Central Plains?

When the late emperor started his business, he said the same thing when he personally led his soldiers into the enemy camp.

In that war, more than 100,000 Huns were killed. It can be said that the war frightened the entire northern minority group.

At that time, the late emperor was so high-spirited that people all over the world followed and supported him.

Eight or nine generations passed.

Today's imperial families are all hiding in deep palaces, unable to see the sun or suffer the cold wind.

He neither knew the suffering of the people nor the current situation of the imperial court. He even killed the few loyal ministers in the entire dynasty as traitors because of a groundless impeachment.

How can these generals not know the suffering of the common people?

Isn't the reason why they signed up to join the army that year just to make their lives better?

Now they have achieved this goal.

It’s just that they have forgotten what their original intention was.

The two people looked at each other. There was no longer fear or worry in their eyes, but instead they were full of respect for Liu Guang in front of them.

These two people are different from those who died before. They did not get up by flattering.

It can also be said that Liu Guang killed the others casually, but the other two people were killed rightly, and the two people left behind were right to stay.

The two of them still have full respect for the strong, and they still maintain the original emotion and empathy for the soldiers who are willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

This is a very rare quality.

Because in such an era of overwhelming materialism, if there are still one or two people who still have such a heart, it can be regarded as having not forgotten their original intention. Of course, in fact, they have also forgotten their original intention, but only retained a little bit of it.

Liu Guang turned around and couldn't help but smile when he looked at the respectful expressions on their faces.

"I heard that the two generals also wanted to make meritorious deeds for the motherland when they were young. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, the two people hurriedly bowed and replied: "It is true! I still have this intention today!"

Liu Guang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. By the way, he also wanted to let the two people complain about Governor Dong, so he started to induce him again:

"Then I would like to ask you, don't you have such a chance under the understanding of the governor? I haven't heard of any beautiful achievements you two have achieved and spread to the capital."

This sentence made the two people calm down in an instant.

It's not that there is any fear spreading in their hearts, it's just that they are not sure whether Liu Guang's words mean to temporarily punish the two of them.

Just when the two of them were in disbelief, Liu Guang opened his mouth to comfort him and said, "No matter what, I'm just chatting with you. It doesn't have any superficial meaning. You two can just answer normally."

When the two generals heard this, they looked at each other and were not sure whether Liu Guang's words were true or false. They responded cautiously: "Report to your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief..."

"But it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, the two generals looked at each other again. They could clearly see from each other's eyes that the relationship between His Majesty and the Governor was definitely not good.

"He has always prevented us from attacking, focusing on defensive strategy. Not long ago, he even hoped that we would divert trouble to the east! Where is the chance for us to eat meat!"

Liu Guang remained silent. After hearing what he said, he raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the other person with questioning eyes.

Another general couldn't help but break into a cold sweat after seeing Liu Guang's expression without any change, but he still continued the topic and said: "He always wants to retain his strength."
