This problem has troubled countless people in the following years, but there is no real solution at least it does not exist on the earth currently.
After the Han Dynasty annexed the territories of the Three Kingdoms of Xianbei and repelled the troops of Yuchi and other two tribes of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Han Dynasty did not continue to press the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Even at this time, the Han Dynasty could directly attack the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty and destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty as long as he sent his army northward.
Not to mention that the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a new city that was only started to be built when the Kingdom of Dai was established. Not only was the size of the city unable to be compared with many important towns and cities in the Central Plains, but even the defensive strength was several levels behind.
In front of the Han army, such a city is basically the same as being undefended.
Many Han generals were a little unable to calm down when facing this temptation. Seeing that the army's series of actions and orders after annihilating the Xiongnu were to establish positions and build various military camps, everyone understood that the Han army would stop. Instead of taking advantage of the situation of destroying the Xiongnu and directly sending troops northward to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, they deployed troops and horses in the transition area with the forces of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Why didn't Your Majesty take advantage of the high morale of the army to kill the Xianbei people directly?"
The generals under his command usually cannot see Liu Xuan, but Lu Bu does not have this problem. As the emperor's most trusted general, he can see Liu Xuan at any time.
This time I took advantage of the opportunity to meet Liu Xuan and asked this question.
It's not that Lu Bu really didn't know the reason. After all, he had participated in the several meetings before the Huns were pacified. However, at that time, out of caution, he felt that it was normal to be stable for a while - after all, even if he conquered all the Huns' territory, . Dispersing all the Huns' armies does not mean that the Huns will be destroyed.
The territory of the Xiongnu is not big. But it is not small at all. In terms of land area, it is much larger than several states in Dahan. If the Huns really wanted to hide in such a vast area, they would really have to waste a lot of money to clean it all. Time and effort.
But what I didn¡¯t expect was that the development over the years had made the Han army as powerful as it is now. In several battles, they killed all the Huns who could participate in the war. They didn't even have a chance to run. The existence of the Yulin Cavalry was simply a nightmare for the Huns. Whether they fled in groups or scattered, they were always there. There is no way to escape the pursuit of these guys flying in the sky.
In addition, this area is mainly composed of flat land and grasslands, so it is impossible to hide too many people - and how long can they hide in twos and threes? Without water and food, all that awaits them is death. The only option was to escape to the Northern Wei Dynasty. This caused many people to die on the way to escape.
But even in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was not necessarily safe. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, too many Huns poured in. They had begun to control it and even caused several conflicts. The last batch of strong Huns also died in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In this conflict, those who actually fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty were women, some young people, and children.
The Huns still remaining in this area are simply fish that slipped through the net. These people do not need to send troops, they just need to wait for this winter to pass. It will disappear naturally - plus there are still many wolves on the grassland, I am afraid that even the corpses will not need to bother the Han soldiers to clean up.
With the progress going so smoothly, it seemed that there was no need to stay here permanently. Lu Bu also began to think, 'Why not take advantage of the trend and go north to directly destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty? ¡¯
Liu Xuan looked at Lu Bu with a smile and filled the teacup in front of him with water: "Fengxian wants to make meritorious deeds again?"
By the way, for the Han soldiers, war is no longer a terrible thing. It's all about earning meritorious deeds. The generals only need to rush around with their troops and horses. None of the enemies encountered so far have the strength to fight back.
In this battle against the Xiongnu, only a few people in the Forbidden Army were injured. Most of them were minor injuries, and there were no deaths. Not to mention those elite soldiers and horses.
In the words of Diocletian: This is not a war at all!
Under such circumstances, it would be a fool to not think about getting more merit. At present, the generals of the Han army have learned knowledge about this world, including the entire territory of the earth and the various forces that exist on it.
After all the calculations, the only real rival was the Roman Empire. But even the Roman Empire, in the eyes of the Han soldiers, only had a slightly wider territory, and the rest was not worth mentioning at all - the Romans also saw that After meeting them, I felt that these people had nothing to worry about.
If it were before, when they saw such a huge empire's army, they would have to consider the opponent's combat power, equipment, etc., but now they don't have to think about it at all, because they can know from the Romans who came to the Han Dynasty that the great Han DynastyHan's lead is not just a little bit, but this lead is all-round.
Therefore, the Roman Empire is not worth worrying about. The Han Dynasty has no rivals in this world.
After much calculation, these generals finally discovered that there were only so many meritorious deeds to consider, but there were many people who wanted to earn them.
If we don't make more money while we have the opportunity, then when the Han Dynasty dominates the world, it will be difficult for these generals to earn any credit - the Han Dynasty is still developing, and Liu Xuan will not just take advantage of it. Tell everyone about the universe.
At present, there are only a few people who know this, such as Huang Yueying, Shi Daoren, and Yu Ji, followed by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, two talents he values ????very much.
Cao Cao also revealed a little bit about it. This is one of the reasons why Cao Cao is not in a hurry to gain merit. Of course, the more important reason is that even if Cao Cao is not a military commander, he can still serve as an important minister in the court. His comprehensive qualities can make him He showed his ability in any position.
But these pure military generals headed by Lu Bu were more depressed. They could only see so much credit, and they were all looking at them, for fear that they would not even have a chance to gain credit. Although Lu Bu doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing happening, if the general can't fight more often when there is a battle, what will he do when there are no battles in the future?
So now Lu Bu is a little worried about the Xianbei people in the Northern Wei Dynasty. If Liu Xuan hadn't been prestige enough, he might have led his troops and killed them out. In other words, according to his previous temper, why would he care so much about you?
Liu Xuan naturally understood the thoughts of these people under his command, so he asked such a question. Lu Bu did not feel embarrassed after hearing this, but nodded seriously: "As a military general, it is important to lead troops to fight in all directions. It¡¯s a matter of course.¡±
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the Han Dynasty, it is a dream for many generals to accomplish. Now that I have such an opportunity, how can I be willing to miss it?
"That's right!"
Liu Xuan took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "But you don't have to worry about there being no battles to fight in the future. Especially you must not give up on cultivation. Do you understand?"
When Lu Bu heard this, he didn't understand a bit, but he vaguely thought of something.
Liu Xuan did not say the words directly, he just mentioned something. If he were not worried that Lu Bu would be too proud and complacent, which would lead to stagnant cultivation, then for Liu Xuan, the loss would be a bit too great.
¡° Such a general who was finally cultivated is about to reach the level of immortal. If he really stops at this time
Therefore, even if Lu Bu will not participate in the subsequent strategic deployment of the Cultivation Empire, Liu Xuan still revealed some information in advance.
But he didn't want to make it too clear, because too big a gap would have the opposite effect and make people feel discouraged. It would be better to increase the target level bit by bit, just like upgrading in a game. You will always just face the problem. An opponent who is just a little taller than yourself.
In fact, Liu Xuan has already thought of a suitable opponent.
He has not moved the spaceship that has been left under the Australian seabed. It is used as a bait - he will wait until the big man is almost developed, directly trigger the signal transmitter in it, and then attract the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
This expeditionary force, to put it nicely, is to expand the territory of the empire, but in fact it is not part of the regular army of the Cultivation Empire. It is an army that integrates various capabilities such as inspection, exploration, research, plunder, etc. A miscellaneous army, even the members of the expeditionary force are not from the regular army. Many of them are adventurers or pure mercenaries.
Such an opponent is undoubtedly the most suitable for Dahan, a country that has just entered a high-end civilization. Lu Bu's generals can also practice their skills with these miscellaneous fish.
However, after saying so much, it seems that there is no clear explanation why he did not go to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty. Liu Xuan only revealed the real reason at this time.
"While fighting the Xiongnu, Fengxian should have noticed a batch of new equipment appearing on the battlefield!"
Liu Xuan's words reminded Lu Bu of that strange armor that covered his whole body tightly and allowed people to fly freely in the sky.
"I am not going to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty now because I am debugging this batch of equipment. I plan to popularize this set of armor to all generals above the rank of captain in the army before attacking the Northern Wei Dynasty. When I attack the Northern Wei Dynasty, you will be included in the attack. All the generals inside have the best chance to adapt to this armor!"
Lu Bu suddenly realized that if this was the reason, then it would be understandable, and he himself was also looking forward to what the strange armor would bring.Lots of conveniences.
But he had another question: "But if all the generals in the army will wear that kind of armor in the future, then the armor that your Majesty made for your ministers"
Lu Bu didn't finish what he said because he didn't know how to say it properly, but this did not prevent Liu Xuan from understanding the meaning of his words. Lu Bu felt that this set of armor was very good, especially since this armor could be used at critical moments. Lu Bu and the others mobilized the great dragon energy between heaven and earth to instantly increase their combat power.
This ability is very useful, but Lu Bu is really reluctant to let it go. Of course, if that mobile armor also had these abilities, then he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Liu Xuan forgot about this and touched his chin: "This problem is not difficult to solve. Don't worry about it first!" To be continued. .
