"It's a pity. I heard that Guanzhong and the Central Plains of the Han people are the richest areas in the Han Dynasty. They are much richer than several counties over there!"
Hearing this, young Yu Shan said with obvious reluctance.
At this moment, he was playing with a piece of top-quality cyan jade in his right hand. He was obviously obsessed with the rumored wealthy Guanzhong and Central Plains.
Yu Shan's words made the Hun nobles and generals around them feel numb.
In more than half a month, how many corpses of Hun warriors were filled at Yanmen Pass.
This Crown Prince, who doesn't know how cruel the front line of the battlefield is, really dares to say anything.
"Hahahaha, my son, if I defeat the entire Han Dynasty now, won't you have no target in the future?"
"King Khan has given an order now to return the army. Let's go home."
The military minister Shanyu pulled out the Sirius Sword, which symbolized the kingship of the Huns, and said domineeringly.
It was clear that he was pleased with his son's ambitions.
This time, the military minister Shan Yu originally wanted to give it a try and see if he could conquer Yanmen Pass.
However, the master has already prepared long swords and spears, and it would be stupid to bump into him again!
"Father, are we really going to give up on the three counties we finally captured like this?"
Young Yu Dan expressed his confusion on the way back.
"This thousand-mile expedition of our army is just to plunder enough food for millions of people to need this winter."
"Now that the set goal has been achieved, it's natural to go home."
While talking, the military minister Chanyu began to educate his son Tao.
"Although the yellow land in front of us is good, it is of no use to us Huns."
"We Huns are different from the Han people who make a living by farming. We, the Huns, are the descendants of the Changshengtian and are the wolves on the earth."
"But Canglang doesn't need to work hard to farm."
"The grassland is our pasture, and the surrounding countries are our food bank."
“Wouldn’t it be beautiful if we kept these countries, cut them and grow them?”
"What's more, as a king, it is important to know what to give and what to give!"
"Choice?" Yu Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.
The military minister looked back at the more than 100,000 royal court troops behind him, and scolded Fang Qiu in a tone of pointing the country.
"My son, don't look at the fact that we have conquered the surrounding countries now. No one in the world dares to compete with us. The entire continent is our racecourse."
"However, our domineering style has also attracted a lot of hatred."
"For an expeditionary army, it is a taboo for an army to go deep into the country and fight alone."
"This time, even if we finally captured Yanmen Pass, we spent all the 100,000 Royal Court troops to do so..."
"How will those enemies who are hiding in the dark and watching eagerly treat us?"
"Have you ever thought about these things?"
The military minister Shanyu paused in his voice and looked at his son with lightning-like eyes. There was a hint of testing in his words and deeds!
"Those guys will definitely beat us up and bite us hard!"
When Yu Shan heard this, his originally impetuous mood suddenly became serious, and he instantly felt a chill on his back.
As the next successor selected by the military minister Shan Yu, Yu Shan was naturally not a useless waste.
If it was said that before, Shan Xin still had a bit of arrogance to slaughter a city and destroy a country with a wave of his hand.
However, now, he also felt that the situation of this battle was not as optimistic as he had imagined.
He could feel that there were countless enemies secretly watching his every move, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.
"So, we cannot take risks when we are not sure, because we cannot afford to fail!"
After hearing the satisfactory answer, the military minister Shanyu showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, Yu Shan's answer made him feel gratified.
Young, hot-blooded, driven and ambitious, but at the same time, he also has brains and restraint, which are necessary for the successor of the empire.
The most important thing is that his son has begun to look at the problem from the perspective of an empire leader.
Kings are both born and nurtured.
After the military minister Shan Yu had a heart-to-heart talk with his son Yu Shan, he summoned dozens of Xiongnu nobles and generals to discuss state affairs while riding horses and marching.
Among these people, the one with the highest status and the most power was Yi Zhixie, the younger brother of the military minister Shanyu and the commander of the Lang Rui Army.
This legion commander Yi Zhixie is not a simple person.
More than ten years later, after the death of Junchen Shanyu, he defeated Yushan, the son of Junchen Shanyu, the successor of King Khan, and seized the throne.
Of course, at this moment, Yi Zhixie acted as humble as a dog in front of the military minister Shan Yu and Yu Shan's father and son.
After all, people who can achieve great things usually behave very modestly, even humblely, before usurping the throne!
"The great King Khan, according to the news sent back by the spies..."
"Due to the sharp decline in the empire's local military strength, the Da Yuezhi people in Dayuan Kingdom are already ready to take action."
"Their main army, totaling 70,000 people, has assembled in the west, claiming to avenge their late king!"
Yi Zhixie said so.
"..."
"Hmph, those guys from the Dayue clan were beaten westward twice by us, and now they are still not honest."
"Don't worry, our four major legions are still in the royal court, and their strength is much greater than theirs."
"If they really dare to come, I believe they will be beaten to pieces by those four guys!"
Tuoba Minghui, the commander of the Tianlei Corps, curled his lips in disdain and retorted contemptuously.
In Tuoba Minghui's words, he was quite unconvinced by Yi Zhixie.
Of course, if it weren't for the 30,000 heavily armored cavalry under Yi Zhixie's command, they would have fought hard against Li Guang's shield and sword soldiers in the battle of Yanmen Pass, resulting in heavy casualties.
Now there are only more than 8,000 cavalry left...
Maybe Tuoba Minghui didn't dare to confront Yizhixie head-on.
Seeing the internal strife between his two generals, the military minister Shanyu was not only not dissatisfied at all, but actually very happy in his heart.
"..."
For an emperor, disagreements between close associates are a good thing.
If all the civil and military officials under his command were harmonious, this would be a very dangerous sign for the emperor.
In fact, the reason why the military minister Shan Yu insisted on attacking Yanmen Pass this time was also related to his good brother Yi Zhixie.
The reason is that, as the uncle of the Xiongnu king, Yi Zhixie is also qualified to inherit the position of Shanyu according to the rules of the Xiongnu.
Yi Zhixie, who controls 30,000 heavy armored cavalry and has strong soldiers and horses, is a great threat to the next Shanyu of the Xiongnu Empire, Yu Shan!
Therefore, the military minister Chanyu insisted on attacking Yanmen Pass in order to pave the way for his son.
He wanted to use Yanmen Pass to consume the strength of the Langrui Legion under his younger brother Yi Zhixie.
