Chapter 8: Bright Sword

"Thank you, Marshal." Wei Qing hurriedly thanked Zhou Yang.

Huo Qubing's words were too crazy, and even Wei Qing thought it was extremely arrogant. Huo Qubing's words not only offended the people in the military academy, but also offended all the people present. Zhou Yang actually supported Huo Qubing as always. Wei Qing was grateful to Zhou Yang.

"No need to thank you!" Zhou Yang waved his hand slightly.

"This..." Ding Jun made a sound of grinding his teeth, and it was hard to believe his ears. Did he hear it wrong. However, Zhou Yang's words were still in his ears, and he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it, which made him speechless.

"General Ding, how about Ling'er? Is it naughty?" Li Guang asked in a frightened manner.

Li Ling and Huo Qubing are in the same group, and they were damaged by Huo Qubing. I think Li Ling is not much better.

"Don't worry, General Fei, made Sun Guai feel extremely smart and intelligent. He couldn't let go of his love when reading the military book, and even forgot to eat and sleep! What a good seedling!" Ding Jun smiled on his face, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with Li Ling's performance.

"Haha!" Li Guang's eyes narrowed together with a small slit left.

Is there anything more joy for him than this?

In the end, Ding Jun left unwillingly and was extremely unhappy. He originally complained to Zhou Yang, but he didn't expect that this was the result. The dissatisfaction in his heart was far beyond the description of his pen and ink.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for this. Who said Huo Qubing is naughty and rare forever? But he is still a rare military genius. He is unique and does not take military books seriously, nor does he take military officials seriously, such as Sun Wu and Wu Qi, who are admired by future generations.

Such words and deeds, not to mention at that time, or at present, are shocking words.

Zhou Yang and the others discussed the following matters. They were very in-depth and careful, and various details were discussed.

After several days, all aspects were finally discussed.

In the past few days, in addition to discussing military opportunities, Zhou Yang also slept with Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er, enjoying the gentle blessing of Yiren, and was overwhelmed.

As the commander, Zhou Yang has been commanding troops abroad for many years and has not been much time at home. He has been together with Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er for a long time. It is rare to have a few times of reunion in a year. This made Zhou Yang very enjoy and miss it very much. However, this blessing was too short and he was quickly summoned by Emperor Jing into the palace.

Emperor Jing not only summoned Zhou Yang, but also summoned Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Zhang Tong, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui, Qin Yi, Zhou Yafu, Zhufu Yan, Shen Gong, Dong Zhongshu, and Feng Jing to Yilan Palace.

When Zhou Yang arrived, he saw Emperor Jing leaning against the soft couch, in poor spirits, very haggard and coughing.

Prince Liu Che stood beside Emperor Jing and beat Emperor Jing's back from time to time. Wang Meiren, Princess Yangxin, Princess Longlu and others were missing all day long. Emperor Jing should have been sent away. Emperor Jing summoned so many ministers to discuss military and national affairs, so they could be away.

When Wang Meiren and the others were not here, the matter of taking care of Emperor Jing fell on Prince Liu Che.

"See the Emperor!" Zhou Yang and the others saluted Emperor Jing.

"Forget it!" Emperor Jing's voice was very low and he waved his hand with great difficulty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yang and the others stood up.

"Sit all! sit all!" Emperor Jing pointed at the shorter few in front of him.

He put a lot of shorter tables, which were prepared for Zhou Yang and the others. Zhou Yang and the others sat down, and Emperor Jing asked, "Zhou Yang, how are the discussions on sending troops?"

Although the Donghu was far less powerful than the Huns and was not the main enemy of the Han Dynasty, this battle was extremely important and Emperor Jing had to personally inquire.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty used large-scale military forces against the northern Hu people, and only Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang led an army of 300,000 to fight north. The result of that battle was well known to have become a shame for the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang was unforgettable until his death.

Liu Bang was trapped in Maodun's plan and was surrounded in Pingcheng. If Chen Ping hadn't made a strange plan and Maodun had a look, Liu Bang would have become Maodun's prisoner. This was a great humiliation of the Han Dynasty and a shame of China!

From then on, the Han Dynasty changed its course and adopted a plan of marriage and strived for the recovery of national strength. For decades, the Han army had only guarded the city tightly and never went deep into the desert, nor did it send troops on such a large scale.

Even in the Great Wall War several years ago, the Han army stopped just after reaching the foot of the Great Wall, and did not cross the Great Wall and went deep into the desert.

The war that was about to be held was a great significance for a hundred thousand elite Han troops entering Liaodong, far away from the Han territory, and going out for thousands of miles.

This marks the official end of the defensive strategy that the Han Dynasty pursued for decades, and the Han Dynasty's military strategy changed from "local defense" to overseas offense, that is, from defense to offense!

If the fight is not good, it will be a great blow to the Han Dynasty. The next time I "go out of the frontier", I don't know if I will go to the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

If the fight is good, the Han Dynasty officially counterattacked the Hu people and the Han army officially galloped on the desert. This is a beginning and is of great significance. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to annihilate the 200,000 Xiongnu army in the Donghu land, this will be a very heavy blow to the Huns and will be of great benefit to the subsequent Han-Hungary War.

It is precisely because the significance of this dispatch of troops was too great that Emperor Jing forced himself to inquire about it.

Zhou Yang thought for a while and reported the results of the discussion to Emperor Jing one by one. Emperor Jing listened carefully and asked in detail, but did not even let go of the details. Emperor Jing was most concerned about the supply issue of the Han army.

Donghu has a vast territory, which is even larger than the current three northeastern provinces. Now Inner Mongolia and eastern Mongolia belong to Donghu, and the northernmost part is Hulunbuir Lake.

In the battle of Donghu, we were far away from the Han territory. In the words of the Han Dynasty, it was possible to "go out of the frontier" for more than a thousand or two thousand miles, or even three or four thousand miles.

The supply line was stretched very long. If something went wrong, the Han army might be defeated and defeated. Emperor Jing had to care.

Zhou Yang had already thought about this issue. The Han army's expedition this time required food and fodder from the Han Dynasty, but could not rely solely on the Han Dynasty's transportation, but mainly solved it by itself. First, it could be exchanged for the Donghu herders. Like the Huns, the Donghu were nomadic people, some of which were cattle, sheep, and horses. They needed tea, silk, and porcelain from the Han Dynasty. These Han Dynasty items were the favorites of the Donghu people and were very valuable. If it were traded, the Donghu herders would be very happy.

Second, fight to support war. Anyone who is enemies with the Han Dynasty, whether it is the Donghu people or the Xiongnu, will become the Han army.

Third, there are Sima Yi and Qin Feng and other big Liaodong families who helped to raise the problem.

"Very good! Zhou Yang, you are becoming more and more experienced! You have a broader vision than when you first commanded the army! Good!" Zhou Yang is now more sophisticated and has extremely rich experience than when he first took the post in Beidi. Emperor Jing praised him right.

"The emperor is too proud!" Zhou Yang said humbly.

"This time, I will not only defeat the Huns, but also take over the land of Donghu!" Emperor Jing suddenly stood up, as tall as a sword, with extraordinary momentum: "The land of Donghu is vast. If it is incorporated into the Han Dynasty, I will be worthy of the descendants of the future generations!"

Emperor Jing initiated Zhou Yang, defeated the Huns, and wiped out the shame. He also seized the Baiyue Land. His martial arts were quite impressive and would definitely be praised by future generations.

However, although the Huns were defeated, they did not shake their country's foundation and would make a comeback. Although the Great Wall victory was a delight, it was not of great significance. At most, it was comparable to King Wuling of Zhao and Meng Tian's defeat of the Huns in Hetao.

The collection of Baiyue certainly expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty a lot. However, it was the place where Qin Shihuang opened up, but it was just a recovery of lost territory, which was not very meaningful.

The Donghu is different. Although it is not the main enemy of the Han Dynasty, it has never been incorporated into the territory of China since Pangu opened up the world. If the Donghu is destroyed, it will be pioneering. It is not inferior to Qin Shihuang's march to Lingnan. It is of great significance and will surely become a grand event in China!

It will become a legend forever!

At this moment, Emperor Jing was energetic and radiant. He was no longer an old man in his twilight years, but like a full-minded fighter.

"promise!"

Zhou Yang loudly agreed. How could he not collect the land of Donghu in the Han Dynasty, the three northeastern provinces, the white mountains and black waters, and the rich land?

If you don’t include the territory, can you be worthy of the title of “modern person”?

Zhou Yang was extremely excited!

At that time, the area of ​​Donghu was no smaller than that of Baiyue. Qin Shihuang's acquisition of Lingnan land became a legend for the ages. If Donghu was taken away, it would be a story. Wei Qing, Li Guang and the generals who wanted to participate in this battle were extremely excited, with red light on their faces and clenched their fists, wishing they could rush to the battlefield immediately.

That is the time for them to make achievements!

That is a good opportunity for them to be famous for all ages!

Men when this is the time!

"Come on the wine!" Emperor Jing waved his hand and shouted.

The palace maid came over with wine. Emperor Jing stretched out his thin hand, picked up the wine glass, and handed it to Zhou Yang. Then he brought a glass of wine for Li Guang, Wei Qing and the others. Finally, Emperor Jing picked up a glass of wine.

"I wish you a victory! The horse will succeed! Do it!" Emperor Jing's voice was clanging and powerful, very loud.

"Damn!" Zhou Yang and the others said in unison, tilting their necks to drink.

Emperor Jing took a glass of wine and kept coughing. Liu Che was so panicked that he massaged his back. After a while, Emperor Jing stopped coughing. He waved his hand and shouted, "Generals, go to Donghu!"

"Fei Donghu!"

Zhou Yang and the others politely politely to Emperor Jing and walked away quickly.

Everyone is excited, stepping down is steady and powerful, and everyone is excited!

In Leishou Mountain, the Han army's camp.

The camps of 200,000 Han troops cover a very wide area, with camp tents connected, one after another, stretching for dozens of miles.

"Dongdong!"

The shocking sound of war drums sounded, rising to the sky, shaking the earth trembled.

On the stage, Zhou Yang was wearing armor, his iron pants were placed in his armpits, his waist was hanging on his head, and his cloak on his back was fluttering in the wind. His handsome face and upright figure were majestic.

Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Zhang Tong, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui, Qin Yi and others stood behind Zhou Yang, lined up in a row.

The general was in the audience, with 100,000 Han soldiers who were about to set up their expeditions gathered together and formed into formations. The formation was strict, heavy, and indestructible.

People are like dragons, horses are like tigers, and their spirits are permeated with the rainbow. Everyone's eyes are full of fierce fighting spirit and murderous aura.

Zhou Yang glanced at the military formation and was very satisfied. His efforts over the past few years have not been in vain. He trained the Han army so sharp and vigorously. Once they appeared on the battlefield, they would definitely bring devastating blows to the enemy!

"Brothers: It's been seven years! It's been seven years, and I haven't fought with the Huns!" Zhou Yang's eyes widened and began to train: "Seven years ago, we fought with the Huns in the north, under the Great Wall. The Huns' army was defeated by 500,000. Now, we will face the Huns again. Is your sharp aura still there?"

"The Han army is mighty!"

The battle roar soared into the sky, shaking the clouds in the sky trembled.

This is the best answer!

"Brothers: put on your armor, polish your arrows, polish your steel knives, kill on the battlefield, and shoot the arrows into the chest of the Huns! Use the steel knives to machete the head of the Huns!" Zhou Yang waved his right hand heavily.

"The Han army is mighty!"

The hundred thousand generals waved their arms and roared loudly.

Listening to the sound of the shaking battle trumpet and looking at the waved arms, all the eyes were filled with fierce fighting spirit. Zhou Yang's blood boiled and he couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the knife.

"Seven years! Seven years! The feeling of blood surging is so nostalgic!" Zhou Yang took a breath and looked at the north.

Like Zhou Yang, Li Guang and the others were all rushing blood, hoping to go to the battlefield immediately and fight with the Huns.
