Chapter 471 Plan changes

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

"The Huns' new army is an independent stronghold, and the surrounding security and defense facilities are very complete."

As Wu Zheng spoke, he sketched out the camps of the Xiongnu Guards.

Several Qu Junhou fell into deep thought while looking at the sketch drawn by Wu Zheng.

After a long time, Qianqu Junhou said:

"Wu Hou, with the power of our army, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat Shan Yuting in one fell swoop. How about we target the Zuo Guli royal family!"

At this moment, Sun Tao, the Marquis of Jiaqu Army, said, "Looking at the arrangement of the Huns, there is a place that I may be able to use!"

Wu Zheng perked up after hearing the words, "Sun Taoru, where are you talking about?"

Sun Tao said: "Wu Hou, please see, this is the horse farm of the Huns...According to the intelligence, there are at least 70,000 war horses in this horse farm. If..."

Wu Zheng already understood at this time, "What a good strategy. During the Warring States Period, there was Tian Dan's Fire Ox Formation... Now there is Sun Tao's Shocking Horse Formation..."

…

It took more than a month for Liu Yi's memorial to be finally delivered to Chang'an.

"interesting!"

After Huo Guang read Liu Yi's memorial, he simply said three words.

Then someone sent the memorial to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial from the Marquis of Xinyang. The general ordered someone to send it to your Majesty for a look!"

Huang Menling respectfully dragged Liu Yi's memorial to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor took the memorial and said: "It turns out to be a memorial from the Marquis of Xinyang. The Marquis of Xinyang has not submitted a memorial for a long time!"

Huangmen Ling smiled apologetically and said: "It has been half a year since Xinyang Hou went to the memorial hall!"

The emperor nodded: "I want to see what the reason for Xinyang Hou's memorial this time!"

As the emperor spoke, he opened the memorial.

The first half of Liu Yi's memorial was very ordinary, except that he talked about Anxi Town and the situation of body poisoning.

The second half mainly talks about the reform of the military system.

The emperor was smiling at first, but later his face became more and more serious!

After reading the memorial, the emperor gently closed the memorial and closed his eyes.

After a long time, the emperor asked quietly: "What did the general say?"

Huang Menling looked around and took a step forward, saying softly: "It is said that the general only said three words after reading it!"

The emperor asked: "Those three words!"

Huang Menling replied: "Interesting!"

The emperor nodded and said to Huang Menling: "General, please come into the palace!"

Huang Menling bowed: "No!"

After Huangmenling left, the emperor ordered Zhang Anshi and Yang Chang to be summoned to the palace.

Huo Guang had already guessed that the emperor would definitely order him to enter the palace after reading the memorial, so he made preparations early.

After Huangmenling delivered the emperor's oral edict, Huo Guang immediately took Tian Yannian and Jun Buyi into the car and headed to Weiyang Palace.

When Huo Guang and the others arrived at the announcement room, Zhang Anshi and Bingji also arrived.

"What does the general think of this?"

In the announcement room, the emperor asked directly.

Huo Guang did not answer directly but asked instead: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor frowned: "I think this matter may not be the intention of Marquis Xinyang..."

Although the emperor did not finish his words, everyone in the palace already understood what he meant.

Huo Guang said: "I don't know whose intention this matter was originally, but since it was reported by the Marquis of Xinyang, it is naturally the intention of the Marquis of Xinyang!"

The emperor stared at Huo Guang, then turned his attention to Zhang Anshi.

"What do you think, General Right?"

There was no expression on Zhang Anshi's face. He raised his head and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, General! The Marquis of Xinyang stated in the memorial that he has tried out a new military system in the Dharabitha Kingdom..."

"I also led troops. When the army went to war, the current organization was inconvenient..."

When the emperor heard this, he said slightly dissatisfied: "General Right, should you agree with what Marquis Xinyang played?"

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "If it is considered from the perspective of military command, minor changes should be made!"

"snort"!

The emperor snorted coldly, "The military system is the foundation of the Han Dynasty. How can it be changed at will..."

Deep down in his heart, the emperor felt that if he agreed to change the military system, his power would be shaken.

At this time, Tian Yannian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong... The former emperor also reformed the military system many times during his reign..."

"After the former emperor's restructuring, the Han Dynasty became as powerful as it is now..."

The emperor could not refute Tian Yannian's words for a moment.

When Yang Chang saw what Tian Yannian said, he already understood that Huo Guang supported some reforms in the military system.

After struggling in his mind for a long time, he finally said: "Your Majesty, I think what General You and Tian Changshi said makes sense..."

"I also went to Hexi to lead the army a year ago. The current military system is indeed quite inconvenient... The Marquis of Xinyang said that the "division" system of the Zhou Dynasty should be restored... I think it is not a bad idea!"

After Yang Chang finished speaking, Jingzhao Yin Jun also said without doubt: "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is true...I think the military system can be changed!"

The emperor felt quite irritated when he saw that several people supported the reform of the military system.

He raised his head and said directly to Huo Guang, "General, do you think the military system should be changed?"

Huo Guang paid homage to the emperor: "The important affairs of the country lie in military service and sacrifice... I think it is better to ask the ministers later!"

The emperor's face finally looked better after hearing this. He looked at Yang Chang and then said to Huo Guang:

"Who does the general think should be in charge of this matter?"

Huo Guang said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, this is the power of the Prime Minister, so naturally it should be presided over by the Prime Minister!"

The emperor heard this and said, "What if I want to take charge of this matter?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Yang Chang felt dissatisfied in his heart.

At this time Huo Guang said: "Your Majesty has exceeded his authority!"

The emperor was startled, and he immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, this is my joke, let the prime minister take charge of this matter!"

After hearing this, Yang Chang immediately stepped forward and bowed: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

…

Three days later, the ministers of Chang'an in the Prime Minister's Palace gathered together, and the officials were divided into several groups to wait for the meeting to begin.

With the sound of a bell, Prime Minister Chang Shi walked to the center and read out the edict:

"The deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Xinyang Houyi, recently wrote a letter stating the shortcomings of the military system...

Your Majesty has ordered the Prime Minister's Office to discuss this matter and ask the ministers, officials, doctors, and counselors... Today you can speak freely!"

…

Zhang Yue and Xulu Quanqu Chanyu had been confronting each other for three days, during which the Han and Hungarian sides had had several small-scale battles.

Both sides suffered casualties and there was nothing anyone could do for the time being.

This result made everyone from top to bottom of the Xiongnu very satisfied, and the confidence of the kings also recovered a lot after these several battles.

"My lord, I have been too frustrated these days. When will I be able to let go and fight against the Huns?"

Zhang Xu couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Xu, shook his head and sighed, "I can't help it anymore!"

Zhang Xu didn't dare to speak anymore after hearing this.

Zhang Yue frowned: "Just say what you want to say, where is all your hesitating manliness?"

Zhang Xu was provoked by Zhang Yue and said: "My lord, our Han army has been able to defeat the Huns in the past few days, why have we always maintained a tie with the Huns..."

Zhang Yue heard this and said: "Do you know what strategy and tactics are?"

Zhang Xu said: "Strategy is... tactics are..."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, it seems that your book has not been read in vain. In this case, you should know clearly that tactics serve strategy..."
