    Luoyang Imperial Palace, main hall

    The palace is surrounded by screens, the gold bricks can be seen in the light, the palace is deep, the cabinet ministers have seats, and other officials stand solemnly in front of the throne.

    Wang Hongyi silently looked at the map spread out on the table.  [com]

    The whole world, except the grasslands and Youzhou, is in his own hands.

    The grassland covers a huge area and is not a rich land. A few decades ago, they could barely have enough food and clothing. The wandering tribes could only plunder from time to time on the border. They were very miserable until the man known as the Lord of the Khanate came out of the blue.  Under the attack of the cavalry he led, the nomadic tribes gradually gathered together, and the grassland gradually stabilized.

    This allowed the tribes on the grasslands to expand to the extent that they could invade the Central Plains.

    In fact, from the perspective of the grassland, the Great Khan also contributed to the grassland and condensed the black dragon. However, the vitality of this black dragon has been greatly reduced.

    The losses in the Central Plains were huge, more than 50,000 men. Internally, due to various reasons, civil war broke out, and another 50,000 men were lost.

    This is a catastrophe for the Khanate. Even if this catastrophe ends, the consequences will be very disappointing.

    For the Dacheng Dynasty, they even hope that the civil war will last longer. Of course, this is impossible. What they have to do now is to support Balu and confront the Khanate.

    Wang Hongyi was very relieved to choose Fan Liuhai from Bingzhou.

    Fan Liuhai is deep and resolute, calm and adaptable. After many years of experience, he is a first-rate general. He has commanded an army of 70,000, many of whom are veterans who have been on the battlefield many times. Although there are currently some new recruits, they will not be inferior after a period of training.  , the overall strength is quite impressive.

    With him, even if the Great Khan comes in person, he may not be able to get a good deal.

    Wang Hongyi has considered this question whether Balu will turn against the Dacheng Dynasty after he breathes his last breath, but the possibility is very low, and at the moment, these are not mainly to break up and destroy the Khanate first, which is Wang Hongyi's primary goal.

    As for Balu, in terms of strategy and courage, Balu cannot keep up with the Great Khan. Of course, the most important thing is his strength and general trend. In the future, even if this person has a betrayal, it will not help.

    "The emperor personally leads an army of 100,000 to Luoyang. There is also General Dingguo in Bingzhou, with 70,000 troops supplemented by firearms. Given the current situation of the Hu people, do they still dare to provoke us?" Seeing the emperor pondering, Zheng Pingyuan whispered.  said.

    "Grand Governor, you don't know something. Although the Hu people are small and only occupy the land of Youchu, they rely on the grassland. Our army cannot penetrate deep into their territory. They are confident. Even if they are defeated, they will not give up. There is still a chance of a comeback.  Heart." Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Zhang Youzhi whispered: "It is not difficult to regain Youzhou, but I am afraid that in the future, like the previous dynasty, hundreds of thousands of border troops will be stationed to prevent invasion."

    Not only Zheng Pingyuan frowned after hearing this, but also several generals and ministers who had not spoken anything frowned.

    Because they understood that what Zhang Youzhi said was true.

    From ancient times to the present day, the grassland has never stopped. The imperial court sent troops to suppress it dozens of times. In the end, nothing happened. The reason is that the grassland is thousands of miles away. Once the army gets here and goes deep into the grassland, they will encounter all kinds of things.  troubles and difficulties.

    In the end, they were defeated by the prairie people who were familiar with the terrain and lived here, and had to retreat in embarrassment.

    Such a person in this era and this world can only be grashed in the poor countryside. It is really not worth using soldiers and financial settlements, but the grassland is a big disaster on the past.

    When thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Youzhi.

    Zhang Youzhi is a cabinet minister who must accompany the army whenever the emperor personally goes to war. He must know something about such a matter. How is the emperor going to deal with it?

    Zhang Youzhi's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything more. In fact, he was constantly thinking about the policy towards the Hu people, whether to go on an expedition, use the barbarians to control the barbarians, or simply abandon the grasslands.

    In the past, most of my studies were about civil affairs, and I didn¡¯t say much about the frontier. If I mentioned it, I would mention it directly in one or two sentences. If I dig deeper, it would just be a sentence about a barbarian land, and scholars would have a certain degree of contempt for it.

    "But when I became an official, I became a high-ranking official. Among the government and court documents, documents about the grasslands and frontiers accumulated like a small mountain.

    Six dynasties, dozens of emperors, thousands of years, countless wise kings, wise ministers and brave soldiers have all tried to solve this problem, but they have all proved that they can only temporarily alleviate it and cannot cure it.

    Zhang Youzhi sighed secretly and used the Eight Banners System to restrain the Hu people. He wondered if there would be any leaks if this method was implemented.

    The war caused by the barbarians is really shocking. If they are allowed to breathe again, it will be detrimental to the Dacheng Dynasty in the future.

    Wang HongWhen I raised my head, I saw these officials and generals looking deep in thought.

    "Zhang Qing, what you said is indeed reasonable. Indeed, although the Hu people were defeated by our army, when they returned to the grassland, they returned to the sea with the dragon. They relied on the grassland to advance and retreat, so they would not easily bow to our army.  !" Wang Hongyi knocked on the table lightly, looked at Zhang Youzhi, and said: "And Hu Han is also a hero with a resolute temperament, and I'm afraid he will never admit defeat."

    In my heart, I felt even more secretly, there was more than one hero?  In the previous life, this was the founder of the Khanate, a genuine black dragon!

    Zhang Youzhi stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I still feel that the Hu people cannot be trusted."

    "I know what Zhang Qing is thinking, but the grassland is so big, can his clan really be wiped out?"

    When the Khanate massacred its dissidents, many tribes were still on the run. If the Cheng Dynasty wanted to massacre them, these tribes would just move far away.

    "And from a possible perspective, this is impossible. There are not only cavalry but also ordinary herdsmen in the grassland for thousands of miles. If we really kill them all, how many people will we kill?"

    "And if the Cheng Dynasty army goes deep into the grassland, not to mention how many troubles and difficulties they will encounter. Even if they really control the grassland, how much energy will it cost?

    The grassland is vast and cannot be converted into farmland. For the Han people, unless they evolved into the mechanical age, directly conquering this land would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

    The most frightening thing is that even if, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he fought for the national destiny, consumed the dragon energy, and successfully swept the grasslands, new nomads would enter from the far north, and they would be in trouble again hundreds of years later.

    "We can't kill them all, and we can't raise them yet, so we can only try to raise the Eight Banners system first!" Wang Hongyi was confident in his heart, but he sighed and said: "Now we still have to prepare the army for war, just in case something unexpected happens!"

    Everyone present stood up to accept the promise and saluted.

    Bingzhoufu General Mansion

    "Here is the special envoy Hu Han?" Fan Liuhai was silent as he listened, and all the generals gathered to follow him, highlighting the majesty of the general. Wu Xingzong followed, suddenly a little discouraged. He was a third-grade general, but his qualifications and prestige were far behind.  Not as good as a general, who can only listen to orders.

    Wu Xingzong took a breath, raised his head stubbornly, and followed.

    "How is Balu's situation?"

    "Based on the eight banners in the mountains, every three hundred people have one Niu Lu, every five Niu Lu have one Jia La, and five Jia La have one flag. There are 7,000 people. They have been organized according to the new system. It seems that  Recover some energy!" Yijiang replied.

    "The women and children have all been arranged to live in the southern district of the city. There are elite soldiers around, so there is no problem in controlling them." Maybe he said this a little secretly, so he lowered his voice for a moment.

    Fan Liuhai calmed down and said, "Now that everything is ready, let's order Balu to wait for the battle, and let's receive the envoy!"

    With that said, he went up and entered the hall.

    "Your Great Khan hopes that this general will hand over Balu?" Ten minutes later, Fan Liuhai sat in the middle of the hall, looking at the envoy standing in the middle with an expressionless face.

    On both sides of Fan Liuhai, stood the generals.

    Wu Xingzong was sitting on the left seat, watching the envoy speak, and secretly sneered in his heart.

    Not only Wu Xingzong, but also all the generals disagreed, now or then?  The Dacheng dynasty has been established, and it has gathered millions of troops. How dare you threaten the Chengguo?

    However, the envoy could not see that everyone had the same expression and continued: "Balu is a traitor to the Khanate and has caused great losses to the Khanate. He is a sinner of our Khanate! By shielding him, General Cheng is an enemy of our Khanate.  "

    "The Great Khan made it clear when he came. If the general is willing to hand over Balu and compensate for the money, then the Cheng Kingdom and the Khanate can still have good relations between the two countries. If not, I, the Great Khan, will lead an army of 200,000 cavalry and will definitely kiss him  Come and ask for it!¡±

    Fan Liuhai heard this and laughed angrily.

    Yes, the previous dynasties, and even the previous dynasties, would deliver the coins to the barbarians after winning, but this was simply impossible in the Dacheng Dynasty!

    After following him for almost ten years, Fan Liuhai knew the emperor's temper very clearly.

    The messenger added: "I came to negotiate on the orders of the Great Khan. Although you and I were at war before, the war has ceased now. It would be a good thing for everyone to have good relations."

    "Although our country suffered some losses due to rebellion in the previous war, we have grasslands and hundreds of thousands of cavalry. Who can despise them?" At this point, the envoy glanced sternly and sneered.

    "When your country was first established, you must have a lot of things to deal with. You need to recuperate and recuperate at this time, don't you think? For a Balu, you provoke a war again and ignore the people. Once the army is defeated, there will be more talented people in the Central Plains.  It¡¯s not impossible for a few heroes to take advantage of the situation

      "I am a rough man. Although I understand Chinese, I can't speak in a high-sounding way. I can only speak truth. If the general can listen, it will be a blessing for both parties."

    With that said, he raised his hands and stopped talking, just waiting for Fan Liuhai's reply.

    It has to be said that this envoy, who speaks Chinese and has a strong tone, is quite inflammatory and pathological in what he says. This is obviously taught by Han people, otherwise he would not say this.

    ¡°If the person sitting on it was not Fan Liuhai, and had not received the emperor¡¯s order, he might have been moved by these words.

    " However, Fan Liuhai, who knew the details and the emperor's intentions, would not be easily swayed.

    However, the Khanate¡¯s army of 100,000 people arrived at the city one after another, demanding the handing over of Balu. If they refused directly, the army might attack the city. This might be the crime of starting a national war without permission. It was better to delay the time and send troops to deliver a message to the court.

    Such a major matter must be decided by the emperor himself. It has to be said that although Fan Liuhai is a military general, he is very sober at this time and is not afraid of going into battle to kill the enemy. This matter must be decided by the court.

    Thinking like this, Fan Liuhai said calmly: "I understand what the envoy said, but this matter is not trivial. It is impossible for me to reply to you immediately. You go back first and tell you Dahan that I will give you a few days to think about it."  reply."

    "Then I will go back and report to my Great Khan." After receiving such a result, the envoy was somewhat satisfied and stopped staying. He immediately returned to the outside of the city and reported this matter to the Great Khan.

    "General, do you really want to agree to their request?" The generals who saw this scene somewhat understood what Fan Liuhai meant, but they also couldn't hold back their temper and immediately jumped up and asked.
