Han Dao world

Liu Xie beckoned to Lu Xiaohuan for her silk handkerchief, and waved it in front of Anthony.

"Because of this?"

Anthony's eyes suddenly widened, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but when he realized something was wrong, he retracted again, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I'm here to buy Seris. Fu Luohan said he could give it to me, but now he is going to be defeated by His Majesty the Emperor. I walked thousands of miles this time, but got nothing."

"If you are willing to tell me about your hometown, I can give you a horse of Celis."

Anthony blinked and nodded.

Liu Xie called Cai Yan, prepared paper and pens, and drew pictures while chatting with Anthony. It took about an hour before he finished talking.

He kept his promise and gave Anthony a piece of silk.

This was robbed from the spoils of defeating Xiluo, which is not a high level, but Anthony is very satisfied and thank you again and again.

Liu Xie laughed loudly and patted Anthony on the shoulder. "After I defeat Fuluohan, I will do business with you, big business."

Anthony smiled and left contentedly.

While tidying up the manuscripts, Cai Yan asked, "Your Majesty, where is this Parthia?"

"Do you know the story of Gan Ying?"

"I know a little bit. Could it be that this Parthia is Anxi where Gan Ying used to go as an envoy?"

Liu Xie nodded, feeling a little emotional.

In the nearly two thousand years of world trade history, the silk of the Central Plains was one of the best-selling commodities, but the Central Plains Dynasty failed to profit from it, and only enriched those long-distance transshipment merchants and grassland peoples.One of the reasons is that the people in the Central Plains have no idea where the silk was sold and how profitable it was.

Gan Ying once reached the Persian Gulf, only one step away from the final destination, but was fooled by King Anxi and gave up the final attempt.

Of course, even if Gan Ying could reach Daqin, his focus would not be on the silk trade.

Scholars in the Han Dynasty believed in Confucianism and seldom talked about benefits. They paid attention to etiquette and righteousness, and secondly, merit. Few people would talk about benefits.

Liu Xie is so poor now that he can't be aloof.

He wanted to use the profits from the silk as military expenses, so naturally he couldn't let these profits be taken away by the nomads on the grasslands, fattening his opponents and impoverishing himself.

Realizing that Anthony might be a Roman, he subconsciously wanted to test it out.

Although he also knew that the blond and blue-eyed Anthony was probably not a real Roman, but a barbarian.

"The prairie is a natural passageway. It is nearly ten thousand miles from east to west, and can reach almost all major countries." Liu Xie looked at the Yinshan Mountain in the distance. "If we don't occupy such a traffic artery, we will be occupied by the enemy."

"Besides me, a big man, are there other big countries in this world?" Cai Yan felt incredible.

Liu Xie pointed to the transcript in her hand. "Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, deceiving one's ears and stealing one's bell, that's what an unwise person should do."

Cai Yan was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and muttered, "I'm just a woman, I dare not call myself a wise man."

-

Fu Luohan waited anxiously for a whole day, and finally got Anthony after dark.

He didn't bother to ask Anthony why he came back so late, and directly asked the emperor of the Han family for his answer.

Knowing that Liu Xie was willing to fight him decisively, he was relieved and laughed out loud.

Ma Teng guarded the city tightly, not only arranged a large number of archers on the city, but also arranged elite infantry under the city wall, which reminded him of Cheng Yi, Gao Shun, and that painful night.

The attack was very difficult, but the chance of success was very low, so Fu Luohan had to make another choice.

If the emperor of the Han family refused to fight, he could only retreat on his own initiative.

The plundered cattle and sheep were too little in supply to last long.

As for Liu Xie's surrender, he didn't consider it at all.

As a descendant of Tan Shihuai, how could he surrender to the Han like the Huns and be the dog of the Han.

Even if there is a truce, the Han people should send the princess to marry.

Excited, Fu Luohan asked Anthony what he had seen and heard.

The messenger is not only as simple as sending a letter, but also has the task of observing the other party's reality.

Anthony is a businessman, and he is good at haggling and haggling. He is the best candidate for a messenger.

But he didn't know that Anthony didn't want to hang out with him at this moment.In Anthony's eyes, he is a ship about to sink.

Facing Fu Luohan's inquiry, Anthony said that although the Han army is all elite, but its strength is too small, the commander has an absolute advantage and will definitely win.

Fu Luohan was very happy, and he thought so too.

As soon as Anthony turned around, he told the Xianbei young handsomes who had a better relationship, don't dream, you can't beat the Han people.The commander-in-chief killed two sons, refused to surrender, and wanted to fight the Han people desperately.You didn't have your son dead, so there's no need to go crazy with the commander in chief, run away if you can, and surrender if you can't.

Anthony doesn't fight, but he buys trophies and knows many Xianbei handsomes very well.When he said this, the Xianbei people who had no fighting spirit were even more half-hearted.

Fu Luohan convened the generals to discuss the matter, full of confidence to fight the Han people to the death.

The young commanders of the various ministries agreed verbally, but in their hearts they regarded Fu Luohan as a lunatic.Except for a few direct descendants of Fu Luo Han, no one really wanted to fight the Han people to the death.

Just think about the battle of Chengyi.

The Han army had a considerable number of armored cavalry, and their morale and equipment were better than theirs. They also robbed a large number of cattle, sheep, and supplies, so they had no worries at all.Without enough assurance, they don't need to accept the challenge at all.Just wait two more days, and the Xianbei people will run out of food and collapse without a fight.

Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, Fu Luohan knew in his heart that there were not many opportunities left for him.

If he could not win this battle, even if he returned to the grassland, he would be a tiger without claws and could only be eaten by others.

If you want to regain your glory, you can only go all out to defeat the emperor of the Han family.

After some instigation and a heavy reward, Fu Luohan managed to stabilize the morale of the army and was ready for a decisive battle with Liu Xie.

Early the next morning, Fu Luohan ordered his entire army to go to battle, and set up an array in the east of Shuofang and south of Dahe.

Chapter 348

While Fu Luohan was desperately boosting morale, Liu Xie was also holding a pre-war military meeting.

Different from Fu Luo Han's hoarse agitation, Liu Xie repeatedly reminded the generals to calm down and not to be impulsive.

Especially Lu Bu and Ma Chao, like two male horses in heat, Liu Xie had no choice but to stop them and threatened to deprive them of their qualifications to fight in order to control them.

Although the Xianbei were defeated and had no supplies, they still had 5 to [-], or even [-] to [-].

Even if it is [-] to [-] sheep, it takes a little effort to chop it up.If it is not done well, it is not impossible to be overturned by a sheep.

At any time, you must not have the idea of ​​​​underestimating the enemy, and you must be prepared for a hard fight.

The tactical arrangement is simple.Cavalry tactics are nothing more than a few axes.Heavy cavalry assault, light cavalry concealed killing and so on.

But it took a lot of trouble to arrange who would lead the armored cavalry to attack, who would lead the light cavalry to cover up the attack, and who would go first and who would go later.

Ma Chao got his wish and participated in the armored cavalry assault as Huben's servant, commanding ten armored cavalry.

This was originally a good thing, but Yan Xing also obtained the same qualification.

In order to gain an upper hand, Ma Chao strongly demanded to start.

Lu Bu also joined in the fun, saying that he had ten vests, so he could take the lead in the assault and try the Xianbei people's reality.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so Ma Chao gets angry.

Zhang Xiu rested his cheeks, recharging his energy aside.

With the armor cavalry, the Habayashi cavalry will not be able to grab the opportunity, and then it will just follow behind and make an assault.

General Han quarreled for the first time, and the Huns hid in the corner trembling.

Yanluo and Baimatong are both dead, and Fuluohan is coming soon. The Han people have once again demonstrated their strength.

In the end, Liu Xie made the final decision.

He regarded himself as the Chinese army, with Huben and Habayashi as the main forces.Jiaqi is the main force of the assault, Guo Wu is the main general, Ma Chao and Yan Xing are the left and right lieutenants.In principle, Ma Chao starts.

Marquis Shaling and General Du Liao Zhang Yang were on the left.

Marquis Wen and General Fenwu Lu Bu were on the right.

After finishing speaking, Liu Xie stood up and looked at Huchuquan and Qubei in the corner. "Chan Yu, Youxian King, are you willing to fight and get a share?"

Hu Chuquan stood up hesitantly, but looked at Qubei.

Before Qubei could speak, Aiken couldn't help shouting: "If you don't dare, I will lead the Xiongnu warriors into battle and serve His Majesty. The Huns have been oppressed by the Xianbei for so long, and now they finally have a chance to take revenge, but you are afraid Tail, aren't you afraid of your ancestors' jokes?"

Hu Chuquan blushed, and Qu Bei also looked embarrassed.

Liu Xie was a little surprised.

Since Aiken became a servant, he has not spoken much and has no sense of presence.Today, on such an occasion, he had a sudden attack. It seems that there is still a bit of blood in his bones. No wonder he gave birth to a son like Liu Yuan.

Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei discussed a few words, then cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty, we are not unwilling to fight. It's just that compared with other battalions, our Huns' armor and armaments are too far behind, so we dare not make a fool of yourself. If Your Majesty can give you some armor and weapons, I will fight to the death for Your Majesty."

Liu Xie laughed, but before he could speak, Lu Bu shouted, "Presumptuous, how dare you talk nonsense in front of His Majesty. Is it because His Majesty refuses to reward you with armor and ordnance? How many spoils did you pick up during the last battle, and you have no idea?" You hide behind when you kill the enemy, and you are more active than anyone else when you grab the loot, you just can't get rid of eating shit, and you can't forget the stinky problem on the grassland."

Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei's expressions changed drastically, but they didn't dare to speak.

Liu Xie waved his hand, motioning for Lu Bu to return to his seat.

"Chan Yu, Youxian King, since you are willing to fight, let's attack together. Marquis Wen, you have too few troops, let Shanyu and Youxian King cooperate with you. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are both capable of commanding troops. They each led five hundred Huns."

Lu Bu curled his lips and agreed.

If it was not related to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's performance opportunities, he would not agree.

The Huns are too treacherous, and they may not go all out after going into battle, dragging their feet.

"Shan Yu, you and King Youxian will each get one and cooperate with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao in the battle. After the meeting is over, first go to the supply camp to get the armor and ordnance, and protect them as well as possible."

Hu Chuquan, to bow and take orders.

They picked up a lot of loot, but the armor is still not complete.Not many Xianbei people wear armor, except for elite troops, the armor rate is only [-]-[-]%.They don't have the strength of the Han army, and they don't have many opportunities to take the initiative to attack, and the armor they captured is naturally limited.

In contrast, Lu Bu who came last has been captured and all members are armored. Even the soldiers serving as guides have good armor, and their chances of surviving on the battlefield are greatly increased.

As the elite selected by the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, they did not expect to end up in such a field.

At the end of the meeting, Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei followed Lu Bu back to the account, and were scolded by Lu Bu again.

Lu Bu said, if it wasn't for the emperor's edict, I wouldn't want you.Since you are willing to cooperate with our department in combat, show your sincerity and don't be half-hearted.If you win, the credit and rewards that should be given to you will be given to you.If you don't fight hard, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people. Even if you flee to the depths of the desert, I will find you and destroy your clan.

Hu Chuquan didn't dare to refute, but Qubei couldn't hold back, he got up immediately and wanted to reason with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu stared, stood up, forced Qu Bei, sneered, "Why, do you want to fight?"

Qu Bei was of medium stature, was overwhelmed by Lu Bu, and was always afraid of Lu Bu's bravery. How could he have the courage to compete with Lu Bu.Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Liao stepped forward and pulled the two apart.

"It's getting late, let's go get the armor first. Some armor doesn't fit, maybe we have to choose it."

Qu Bei nodded helplessly.

Under the low eaves, people have to bow their heads.The armor they need is not a mass-produced authentic product, but a pieced together spoils of war.Picking out the right armor can take some time.

Zhang Liao called Li Yaoshi and asked him to lead Qubei to the supply camp.

The last time Li Yaoshi went to battle with Zhang Liao, he had already received armor once and had experience.

After sending Huchuquan and Qubei away, Lü Bu lost his temper and said to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, "Wen Yuan, Zi Ping, take care of these Huns, don't let them spoil you."

Gao Shun nodded, but said nothing.

Zhang Liao said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but before a big battle, it is not appropriate to have a conflict."

Lu Bu grinned. "Wen Yuan, you are still too young. The Huns are ambitious, and their bad habits are hard to change. They will be obedient if they hold meat in one hand and a knife in the other. The harder I treat them, they are afraid of my revenge, so they dare not go up and down the battlefield Your black hands."

Zhang Liao was stunned.

Lu Bu put away his smile and glanced at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. "This is a rare opportunity for you, you must perform well, and you must not be looked down upon by others, especially not by the people of Liangzhou."

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao bowed to accept the order.

Lu Bu said again: "This is Bingzhou, my hometown, and we are the main force. If anyone is half-hearted and loses my face, don't blame me for turning it."

The generals clung to their promises.

Chapter 349 Before the Great War

The sun rises.

Fu Luohan adjusted his armor for the last time and walked out of the big tent.
