Zhao Puonu is completely at a loss now, he is full of ambition to bring 2 people here this time, and he must be ashamed.

Among them was the failure to return in the previous battle of the Xionghe River, and the shame of being crushed by the little Wusun when fighting Dawan.

Of course, he also knew to some extent that the emperor didn't let him come here to make meritorious service, but to let him vent his anger on the king of the north.

So Zhao Puonu was somewhat proud, thinking that he was avenging the King of the Northern Territory, and that the other party should treat him with courtesy.

The result... At the beginning of the war when he was named Marquis, 2 people were captured. What was the situation then, and what is the situation now.

If the military strength of the Northern Border Kingdom had been that strong, Shuofang City would not have been so miserable last year.

And along the way, Jiang Chong kept saying that they were few and miserable, and Zhao Puonu had already formed an inherent impression that there were very few people in the northern border. Since there were few people, there must not be many people who could be sent out to intercept them when the city was being built and the spring plowing was needed. Kill the Huns.

So the opponent is likely to win more with less.

Wei Buyi at the side looked at Zhao Puonu lost in thought and doubted his life, he held back for a long time and couldn't help but turned his head and smiled silently.

Li Buyan's thick skin really convinced him. They did have 500 Huns captives, but the problem is that only 500 of them came back from the captives, and these [-] people were not all young and strong, some of them were old and weak women and children.

The remaining [-] youths were all given to their highness by Xiao Kunmi!

As a result, Li Buyan said that he became their captive.

But no one wants to expose Li Buyan. After all, if you really want to talk about the thousand Huns, it is not easy to explain. Why did Xiao Kunmi give you away?It is not good for His Royal Highness to really dig deep.

So he could only let Zhao Puonu be so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After a while, Zhao Puonu probably recovered his thoughts, and suddenly asked: "One thousand and five captives, this is a great victory, why didn't Lubu come to Beijing?"

Li Buyan and Wei Buyi who were looking at each other and smiling: ...

The smiles of the two froze suddenly, and they didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Fortunately, there is another Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong said very calmly: "Before His Highness came, His Majesty told him not to be impulsive and not to conflict with the Huns for the time being. His Highness knew that His Majesty was worried about him, but he had no choice but to capture the Huns. So His Highness hasn't figured out how to tell His Majesty yet."

Zhao Puonu said: "What's wrong with this? Your Majesty will only be happy and not angry." After a pause, he added: "Even if you are angry, you will not punish His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory. Hurry up and report the credit to him. It doesn't look good to have the post of Captain of Jingguo empty."

When Zhao Puonu said earlier, Jiang Chong and others all looked at him differently.

I was still thinking that no matter how good this man's fighting skills are, whether he is too proud, his character is still acceptable.

As a result, after hearing the second half of the sentence, they felt that this was Zhao Ponu's real thoughts, and they were afraid that they were eyeing this piece of fat and wanted to take a bite.

It is impossible to become a captain with his qualifications, but Zhao Puonu also has nephews, how good is it to advance to the next level?

The northern border country was able to capture 500 Huns without enough troops, so it must be more than that after the recovery.

Even if Zhao Ponu teamed up with Captain Zuo this time, the best result would be to kill Wushilu, let the Xiongnu civil strife for a while, and then force the Xiongnu troops to continue to withdraw to the northwest.

But if they were in Shuofang City, they would have the opportunity to confront the Xiongnu from time to time. This is military merit.

Jiang Chongxin said that you are not very good looking but beautiful in thinking, how could His Highness give the military power to others.

Now it is obvious that he is training Li Buyan and Wei Buyi, and he wants to choose one of them to be the captain.

The only flaw of these two people now is that they don't have enough meritorious deeds. Although everyone has meritorious deeds, their foundations are still weak.

Jiang Chong said perfunctorily: "The general is right, but this matter still needs to be written by His Highness and the Prime Minister."

Zhao Ponu quickly said: "That's right, we still need to check it out."

Zhao Puonu also thought of it, he had to write a letter first and ask someone to operate it, and occupy this position when no one else could react, if the good news spread to the capital, where would he have a chance?

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't urge him anymore.

When he arrived at the posthouse, Jiang Chong kept his promise and showed Zhao Ponu the horseshoe.

After all, Zhao Puonu is a veteran and knows horses very well, so he could understand the horseshoe's intention at a glance, and immediately said: "This is a good way to delay the wear of the horse's shoe."

After he finished speaking, he was a little confused: "Why have you never heard of it before?"

The corner of Jiang Chong's mouth twitched: "When I was in the capital, Your Highness already dedicated this object to His Majesty."

So if you have any questions, go to the emperor, don't ask us.

Zhao Puonu didn't say any more, just rubbed his hands together and said: "Then... I wonder if I can also put a pair on my war horse?"

Li Buyan and Wei Buyi were shocked, are they so invisible?

How did they know that these veterans are really shameless, they are more powerful than each other, and they can do anything when fighting for military supplies.

That is to say, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing made great achievements in battle. Once they went to the battle, even if they were wronged by others, they would not be wronged. So there was no need to fight at all. The other generals really did everything they could.

What's the point of such an opening.

Jiang Chong probably has never experienced such a battle, but his advantage is that he has thicker skin than Li Buyan and Wei Buyi.

After all, it was too embarrassing to come up from the bottom, so he politely refused and said: "These were brought in Chang'an before, and the Northern Kingdom hasn't freed up to do them yet, except us. There are no soldiers."

As for whether it is true or not...if you have the ability, go and look at the hooves of our northern border country horses.

If you dare to look at it, I dare to let you not even touch a horse hair.

In fact, according to Liu Tan's temper, he wouldn't be so stingy. What's the point of a horseshoe?As long as the Han army can win, he may agree to build the whole army, but it may be that Liu Tan's attitude has affected Jiang Chong, and he is not very optimistic about Zhao Ponu.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought that Zhao Ponu was going to join forces with Captain Zuo, and if he didn't do it well, he might let the other party see the horseshoe.

If they go one step further, in case they lose, even if the opponent cannot make horseshoes, but if they remove these horseshoes and put them on their horses, their highness will be pissed off.

Anyway, the horseshoe is not the decisive factor in this war, so just leave it.

Zhao Puonu didn't put his face down, the main reason was that the poverty in the northern region was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He didn't even know that there were iron mines here, so he felt that what the other party said was reasonable. These might all be brought over from Chang'an.

After Jiang Chong rejected Zhao Ponu, he said: "Although there is no horseshoe, there is another big gift to give to the general."

Zhao Puonu became interested: "Oh? What is it?"

Jiang Chong asked someone to bring a square lacquer box, and then directly asked someone to open the lacquer box and took out the contents, saying, "This is the map His Highness prepared for the general."

Zhao Ponu subconsciously wanted to say that they had prepared a map, but when he saw the map, he couldn't help being attracted.

This map is more detailed than the one in his hand, and it looks more intuitive. No general who is about to go out can refuse.

The only thing that puzzled Zhao Ponu was why this map was marked on every water source?The place where they sent troops was the grassland, not the Gobi.
