I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

When Liu Tan received this news, he was discussing with Huo Guang about the Xiongnu. His original thought was that he might have to spend the rest of the time in the country of Yan. If the Xiongnu got the news, they might come to find trouble.

Of course, he is not worried about the current defensive capabilities of the northern border country. What he needs to tell Huo Guang is to let Huo Guang not worry. As long as the Huns come, they will send people to fight. They are the most advanced in everything now. Don’t be cowardly, just do it. If someone in Chang'an is dissatisfied, let him resist. There are too many troubles in the near future, and he urgently needs a target to vent his anger on.

It's a pity that the ministers in Chang'an are smarter than each other now, and they generally don't conflict with him, and I don't know whether they are really convinced or dare not.

Liu Tan held his breath and couldn't cut down all the county guards in the Yan Kingdom. It would be best if the Huns were willing to shoot at the muzzle.

As a result, he was still tirelessly telling Huo Guang not to be too safe, and to be aggressive when it was time to be aggressive. When Huo Guang couldn't bear to educate him with a long speech, the Huns really ran into him, but what he didn't expect was that the Huns didn't choose to go north. The state of Jing, but the country of Yan was chosen.

Liu Tan felt a little bad all over, and Huo Guang who was at the side quickly came to his senses: "Xili Lake is really cunning."

Isn't he cunning? He probably didn't dare to confront the northern border country head-on, so he turned around and ran to bully Yan country, and he didn't dare to take advantage of Liu Tan's presence.

After Liu Tan came to his senses, he immediately jumped up and said, "Pack up your things quickly, and order [-] soldiers and horses for me by the way, and I will take them there."

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment: "In such a hurry? Now in the past... The Huns are already in Shanggu County. Your Highness needs to drive them back before they can reach Jicheng."

Shanggu County is between Beijing Country and Yan Country, bordering Yanmen County, and now they don't know what's going on there.

Liu Tan said: "Liu Ku is still in Jicheng, no matter what happens there, I have to take care of him!"

At first, I thought that although Jicheng was not very good, King Yan’s palace was good, and Liu Ku would not suffer any grievances if he had someone to take care of him there. Otherwise, it's not good for Liu Ku now, will he be cleaned up when he goes back?

As a result, he never expected that he eliminated all the factors of instability, and the Huns came.

Liu Tan wondered if Xiaolihu already knew that he had left Liu Ku alone in the country of Yan, and then planned to kill Liu Ku.

Once Liu Ku died, Liu Tan's excuse for governing the country of Yan for his younger brother would be gone, and the country of Yan would return to the previous chaotic scene, which was more suitable for him to fish in troubled waters.

Anyway, the Xiongnu have been forced by Lu Xuan to move eastward in the past few years, and it is not strange to target Yan.

Huo Guang calmly reminded, "Your Highness, please write a memorial to Your Majesty first."

Even though Liu Tan must have brought his troops to Shanggu County when this memorandum arrived in Chang'an, but if we go back in time, we can know that Liu Tan first made a report and then sent troops.

Otherwise, it would not be appropriate for Liu Tan not to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom to directly use the soldiers and horses of the Northern Border Kingdom.

Liu Tan nodded. He originally had the same idea, and he wanted to use the carrier pigeon to tell Liu Che first.

The letter carried by the carrier pigeon could only briefly explain the cause and effect, but Liu Tan reckoned that even if he only said what happened, Liu Che could understand why he did what he did.

After Liu Tan hurriedly sent news to Liu Che and wrote a memorial, he set off with soldiers and horses.

To be honest, apart from the elite regiment, this was the first time he had led soldiers from the northern border country, and he was a little worried before he came out.

Wei Buyi couldn't help but apply: "Your Highness, or else I can go with you."

Liu Tan shook his head: "You stay here and sit in charge."

Wei Buyi said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if we only have those school captains left here, they can stop the Huns."

When they first arrived here, they really had nothing, and the only ones who could fight were their few novices, but they have not been idle for so many years, and they have promoted many newcomers. These newcomers have great potential. In fact, at this time Those who really have military power, except for the superiors who hold the tiger talisman, are the school lieutenants.

The generals didn't have much military power, so Wei Buyi felt that it didn't matter if he left.

Liu Tan said seriously: "If you stay here, the Xiongnu dare not come here. If you leave, even if we win, we will consume a lot of armaments and even suffer injuries. Don't worry, I have a powder keg in my hand. Li Xi and the others will get it." The news should also send people to rescue Shanggu County, there will be no problem."

Although Wei Buyi was worried, he still stayed in the northern border country as Liu Tan said.

Huo Guang asked, "Do you want to notify King Wusun?"

Liu Tan glanced at him: "Don't say it, unless the emperor gives orders, it will be troublesome for him to send troops at every turn. Even if he crosses Yanran Mountain to find the trouble of Xiaoli Lake, it will take a while to force Xiaoli Lake to withdraw troops. Why don't we get rid of Xiaoli Lake first, and then talk about other things."

Huo Guang didn't say anything, the reason why he thought of Lu Xuan was because he was worried about Liu Tan.

Now the folks say that the King of the Northern Territory is victorious in all battles, but in fact his Royal Highness has not led soldiers to fight many times, and every time it is a crushing situation. Now that the Huns are coming fiercely, I don’t know if they have won anything thing.

Shanggu County is so broken.

Before Liu Tan left, he didn't give any more instructions. He couldn't help feeling that Huo Guang was so worry-free. He thought that when he left Yan Guo, he still told Dou Sibo the day before he left. considering.

If it weren't for Yan Guo's situation, Liu Tan would have wished that Liu Che would replace him with someone who was smarter.

But think about it, if a smart person is not under control, he would have to sort out the affairs of Yan State while fighting with others, which is not as good as it is now.

Huo Guang prepared about 1 horses for Liu Tan, and before leaving, he still said: "If there are insufficient manpower, His Highness must give orders in time."

Liu Tan said: "Enough is enough, there can be no more."

No matter how many, it's not just bad supplies like food and grass, there is also a problem that there are not many soldiers in the northern border country, he can't take everyone away, he would rather let Li Xi divide his troops or let Liu Che send people again Nor should the Northern Kingdom be left empty.

Many industries in the northern border country now have a wide range of radiation. Once they are destroyed, thousands of households will be affected.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan turned his head and smiled at Huo Guang: "I feel that our position is still a bit dangerous. It seems that the border should be pushed forward."

Huo Guang: ...

You drive out the Huns first before talking about this.

Even though they thought so, no one was worried about the result this time. In the final analysis, they probably still had trust in Liu Tan.

However, Liu Tan also encountered the same problem as Li Buyan and the others, that is, when attacking Shanggu County, he couldn't just blow it up.

The Huns directly occupied Shanggu County, closed the city gate, and then occupied the city wall. Not only that, they also pulled the people of Shanggu County to the city wall.

Liu Tan saw this posture and knew that they must know the existence of the powder keg.

Miao Rui and Bi Gao also followed him in military uniforms, and they couldn't help frowning when they saw this scene and said, "Who leaked the news?"

Liu Tan's face was calm: "Before the news of the disappearance of the father, the Xiongnu could get the news quickly. They knew that I had blown up with a gunpowder barrel and that Languo was not a strange thing. What's more, Li Xi went to attack Wuhuan this time. A lot of powder kegs were used during that time, maybe it was Wuhuan who sent people to ask the Xiongnu for help this time, so he would naturally tell them about this matter, there is nothing strange about it.”

Miao Rui was a little worried: "But in this case... we can only fight hard."

In terms of attacking the city, they don't actually have a particularly big advantage. Although the armor of the soldiers is much stronger than before, the Huns are very good at carving.

Liu Tan has long been greedy for their eagle shooters, and he doesn't know how the Huns cultivated them, or why no matter how they train them, they can't produce a sculpture shooter comparable to their opponents.

Fortunately, they improved the crossbow later, and Liu Tan's obsession with the eagle archer was much less.

He looked at the people on the city wall and said, "Even if the Xiongnu didn't pull the people to the city wall, we wouldn't be able to use gunpowder kegs. It's a good thing that they don't wantonly massacre civilians just to keep us from throwing rats."

Yes, that's why Liu Tan is still calm now.

Both of them have scruples. In comparison, Liu Tan felt that he was the one who won. After all, he saved the lives of so many people. If there were no gunpowder barrels, those people might have died tragically at the other side's corner. Under the knife.

Bi Gao's face was determined: "In this case, we can only attack by force."

Liu Tan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Try it first, if it doesn't work, you can only use other methods."

Both Bi Gao and Miao Rui were a little strange. In this situation, what else can they do besides playing in the traditional way?

But since Liu Tan asked them to test and attack, he must have his own ideas.

Liu Tan originally wanted to find a high ground to see the overall situation. Anyway, there are many mountains here, so it is not difficult to find a mountain peak, but he thought about what to do if he was attacked and killed when he passed by?So in the end, I sat in the middle tent and waited for the result.

The result...was not particularly good. Even if it was a feint to attack the big Han soldiers, they retreated a bit quickly, and some people were injured or injured in the process. The captains who led the army looked at the number of casualties and estimated that His Royal Highness the King of the North would not be happy. Immediately ordered to retreat.

When everyone gathered in Liu Tan's middle tent, everyone was frowning. The youngest one said very discouraged: "Shanggu City is in the valley, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is impossible to take it without paying a huge price." The one who went down to this city."

No one spoke, because it was a fact. The terrain of Shanggu City determined that it only had two gates, and the remaining two sides were next to the mountains. The Huns only needed to guard the two gates, so they could concentrate their forces.

Someone couldn't help complaining: "How did they lose the city in such a terrain?"

The most important thing is that the loss is still very fast, as long as they can support it for a period of time, the big man will not be so passive now.

Liu Tan reached out and knocked on the case table and said: "Okay, it's useless to discuss the crime now. The sheriff of Shanggu County doesn't know if he is still alive. It's useless for you to say these things. If you can't beat him, you won't beat him." .”

Everyone looked at Liu Tan in shock, and wondered if they were hallucinating. This didn't sound like what the King of the North said.

Facing the shocked faces of all the people in the tent, Liu Tan said slowly, "If we can't go up, let's go down. People have to learn to be flexible, right?"

Crowd: ? ? ? ?
