"Five million Northern Expedition troops?"
"Liu Qing, after the Xiongnu unified the grassland, they could have a million troops. If you use all the strength of the country to fight against our country, you will be sure to face twice as many troops!" Emperor Xuanwu frowned.
Liu Wenqin shook his head, "I'm not sure. Even if I have twice as many troops as the enemy at this moment, I can't guarantee that I can defeat the Huns! On the battlefield, the situation is unpredictable, and the fighter opportunities are changing rapidly! Even if the Huns have millions of soldiers , and don’t dare to defeat me easily.”
"It's just! What I'm most worried about now is not how many troops we can have. What often determines victory or defeat is not the strength of the army and the number of troops? It's about whether the logistics of the army can be guaranteed."
really! How much logistics is required for the mobilization of an army of 500,000 people, how much scheduling is required, can the food keep up, and so on? It’s all a bunch of astronomical numbers. With the current great military strength of the country, it is necessary to support the food and clothing of an army of 500,000 for several months, I am afraid! Even if they defeat the Huns and return to the court, the entire Dawu army will be brought down abruptly.
and! Once this happens, Dawu may have trouble.
This is what Liu Wenqin is most worried about.
certainly! The Xiongnu established Daliao and had to raise millions of troops. The pressure was no less than that of Dawu.
Immediately! Emperor Xuanwu became angry and cruel, and said in a loud voice: "As long as we can win, it doesn't matter if we use the whole country's strength? The Xiongnu is cruel, and everyone knows it! The emperors of the Great Wu Dynasty also produced many foolish emperors, but so what! Even so, Once the Huns in the north cause trouble, they will never tolerate it, sit back and do nothing, and allow the Huns to invade my Dawu territory! "
"
"In this emperor's life, even though he has not achieved great achievements, he must still follow the example of his ancestors and conquer the Xiongnu."
How can we let foreigners take even an inch of our Dawu territory?
"Send the order! Urgently inform all the princes to return to the capital. I have important matters to discuss with you."
The reason why Emperor Xuanwu issued this order was that he already understood it in his heart. His sons are all good, including King Yan of Youzhou, King of Qi of Luzhou, King of Chu of Yangzhou, and King Chen of Jingzhou. The remaining one, King Qin of Liangzhou, cannot see through, but he also understands the situation of these four sons. Quite a few.
Beiliang, Prince Qin's Mansion...
"Your Highness! The imperial envoy has arrived!" Xiaobing came to report.
really! The analysis of Xu Meng and Tian Ping is the same. The Xiongnu founded the country and had a million-strong army. It was so powerful that to win such a war with a huge military disadvantage, it was necessary to devote all the efforts of the whole country to it. after all! Today's Dawu is no longer at its peak, and the treasury's finances and food are about to bottom out.
Only a few large local states may still be able to collect grain, such as Jingzhou and Yangzhou, two large rice farming states. No matter how powerful the country is, these two large states can see the golden color fluttering like ocean waves. of rice.
"welcome!"
"promise!"
then! A person holding an imperial edict and walking on official steps came in.
He glanced at Dongfang Yu on the table and spread out the imperial edict, as if to express his disdain for Dongfang Yu, "His Royal Highness, King Qin, accept the edict!"
Grass! This man is so rude, if not for Dongfang Yu's order, otherwise! He had already gone up and punched this bastard.
Dongfang Yu, Tian Ping, and Xu Meng glanced at each other. The flame in his heart was actually rising slowly, and he did not kneel down to receive it because it was an imperial edict from the imperial court.
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, the envoy said in a voice that seemed to be scolding: "Your Highness, King Qin, your Majesty's decree, why don't you kneel down to accept it?"
hehe…
Dongfang Yu smiled coldly, "When? A dog slave dares to show off his power in front of this king."
"Today! Either you kneel down to declare the decree? Or! I will chop off your legs?"
The people who could embarrass him like this were probably a group of people in the palace who were full and had nothing to do, so they deliberately tested him.
That being the case! Dongfang Yu told him how strong he was.
The envoy was horrified. He obviously did not expect that the Sixth Prince, who used to bend down and gasp at everyone he saw in the palace, would actually be so strong, as if he was a different person.
"I...I am the messenger sent by the imperial court to announce the decree. I hold the imperial decree in my hand. How dare you be rude!"
Dongfang Yu's eyes narrowed and he said coldly: "Yu Wenhu, he doesn't want to kneel down, go and help him!"
"promise!"
After receiving the order, Yu Wenhu twisted his big hand, walked over immediately, pressed the messenger's shoulder, and even kicked the latter's heel with his left foot.
Click!
ah!
Only the sound of broken bones and the miserable shouts from the messenger's mouth were heard.
Only then did he understand that the current King of Qin was tough, decisive, and irreversible. He was no longer the King of Qin before.
"Messenger! Now you can kneel down and declare the decree!"
The envoy broke into a cold sweat behind his back, and then he kept begging for mercy, "King Qin, please forgive me, I will kneel down to declare the decree, I will kneel down to declare the decree!"
He is afraid! If the King of Qin was really brave, wouldn't it be a bad idea to kill him?
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
King Dongfang Yu of Xuan Qin returned to Beijing according to the order! Set off today!
Admire this! "
Just a few words! That’s it!
Dongfang Yu was stunned and accepted the imperial edict! The imperial edict didn’t say anything about what you were going back for! What are the specific matters to be done?
"Okay! Drag the envoy down to rest!" Dongfang Yu said impatiently.
The messenger was dragged down by two soldiers.
Then he said: "Military advisor! My father's imperial decree ordered me to enter the capital! But I feel that several of my other brothers should also have received the imperial decree to return to the capital!"
If you can think clearly with your toes, if you can bring him back to the capital, then! The other brothers will definitely return to Beijing, otherwise! What does it mean to just see a king? Is it intentional? Where do you put the face of these princes?
Xu Meng suggested: "Your Highness! Your Majesty has decreed that you must go! I'm just afraid! When Your Highness returns to the capital this time, it is inevitable that the Crown Prince and other princes will deliberately make things difficult for you?"
"It doesn't matter! I am no longer the loser I used to be. Whoever deliberately makes things difficult for me is not necessarily right?"
"Send the order! Five thousand Xuanjia troops will follow my king back to the capital! Send half of the secret guards back to the capital!" Dongfang Yu ordered in vain.
No matter whether the other princes lead the army back or not, but he! We must lead the army back! I am not a god, nor can I fly over the walls! I'm afraid if he is targeted by the prince of the capital and gets trapped in the capital! There was no room for resistance.
In the past two years, Qinghua Garden has also been led by Fan Hua, and the forces of the Anbu have gradually expanded. Qinghua Garden has spread to almost all states in the world, even Beiliang! Not long ago, the Blue and White Building was built.
Since Dongfang Yu became self-reliant, he rarely took money from Qinghua Garden. As Dongfang Yu's most powerful intelligence agency, Qinghua Garden built almost all the Qinghua buildings that were self-sufficient. Dongfang Yu rarely interferes.
And the other side! Jin Yu Haiya, built by Dongfang Yu, glowed with brilliance and grew bigger and bigger in the hands of Jin Rui. The lofts spread all over the capital and even in several major states and counties, becoming one of Dongfang Yu's important sources of funds.
same! Jin Daya's name was also indirectly spread in the capital.
