If he is a brainless person, he will not secretly allow his family to make money from the land. Although he was forced to spit out the land in the end, the money he has earned over the years is not needed.  Half a cent was refunded, and the land was sold in return for a generous reward. The reason why he was able to defeat Zhao Meng's advice so readily was mainly because his interests could be protected.  The county magistrate and the captain were helpless. The prefect was determined not to buy grain from Linjun, and they didn't know what to do.  Zhao Meng suddenly said: "It is better to buy grain from Hedong County. There are 34,500 households in our Pingyang Kingdom. The emperor has granted 11,000 households in the east and south of Fenshui as our princes. Each household in the Kingdom has an average of more than 200 acres of land.  Our country produces nearly 20 million shi of grain a year, and most of it goes into the pockets of the villagers, so you can buy it with money." "Where did you get that much grain from?" "Brother, country bumpkin.  Already, Guanzhong has been producing four stones per mu for almost three years. At the same time in Pingyang, most of the cultivated land has exceeded four stones. Only the dry fields adjacent to the mountainous areas still have a yield of more than two stones per mu. Only the output in border counties has not increased.  Go." Zhao Meng laughed.  Guan Fu laughed and said, "That's the best! Immediately report to the court that there are any changes on the Xiongnu border, which is suspected to be a sign of a large army invading the Xiongnu. We have to prepare our army to attack the Xiongnu." The report was flown to the capital at Yanmen.  County, Yunzhong County, and Shanggu County all received unusual movements that were suspected to be signs of war.  The emperor in Weiyang Palace has not yet made up his mind.  The Three Gongs and Nine Qings all have various opinions regarding the movements of their powerful neighbor in the north.  Many bureaucrats are confused and have no idea how to respond correctly.  "Fight the Xiongnu?" Prime Minister Dou Ying hesitated for a moment: "I think this battle cannot be fought. The Xiongnu has been strong for decades and has boasted that it controls more than 600,000 people. Although our Han family has a million troops ready to attack, it is not easy to attack the Xiongnu with all our troops.  , it is difficult to recruit soldiers from a county and a country spread all over the world, and the recruitment speed is too slow and takes a long time. The army season is about to enter winter. " All the officials looked at each other and smiled. Now in mid-March, it is Shangsi Festival.  The weather is good, and winter usually comes at the end of October.  In other words, it would take seven or eight months. In such a long time, the Huns had already raided the border and retreated.  No matter how firm the emperor¡¯s will is, those who advocate not fighting the Xiongnu still make up the majority in the court. This is not only due to the academic factors of the Huang-Lao school, but also because the Han family is not absolutely sure of defeating the Xiongnu with 600,000 cavalry.  For more than sixty years, the national strength of the Han family has become more and more prosperous, and the Huns have not been idle for half a point. From the time since the Time Shan Ji, it has not only a significant increase in population.  The total military strength has also gone from barely scraping together 400,000 cavalry to easily producing 600,000 elites. The increase is not small. Considering that the foothold on the grassland has a lot to do with the number of troops, the gold content of 600,000 control strings is relatively high.  On the contrary, it is more intimidating than most of the Banshang County soldiers scattered in the counties.  The strongest Han army is the Northern and Southern armies. The Southern army is essentially soldiers from various counties and counties who come to Guanzhong to perform military service and receive more systematic and comprehensive intensive training.  The overall combat effectiveness of the Southern Army was only slightly worse than that of the Northern Army who lived in Guanzhong all year round, and much higher than that of ordinary scattered county soldiers.  The three hundred thousand elites in Guanzhong are not only the main force of the Han Dynasty.  It is also the special skill of suppressing the world and curbing careerists. Without 300,000 elites, there will be no peace in Guangzhou.  It will not affect the stability of the princes and kings of the East.  The northern and southern armies usually do not dare to act rashly. It is normal to send out one army and keep the other.  Tian Fu had already made a plan in his mind: "There is no need to spend a lot of time. We only need to use one hundred thousand Northern troops and unite all the northern counties to send troops to the counties." The officials frowned and said nothing. Most of them agreed with Tian Fu's strategy.  You know, using a part of the Northern Army to unite county soldiers to resist the Xiongnu, this is a routine that the Han army has used for decades.  ¡°Clich¨¦s are nothing new.  More people turned their eyes to the other side. Cao Shi, the cavalry general, lowered his eyebrows and seemed to be taking a nap. Public opinion praised him as the number one general in the dynasty, which is a bit excessive, but it is correct to say that he is the most capable general of the younger generation.  of.  It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t wait for his response.  Liu Che glanced at the ministers: "I have already made a plan in my mind, and intend to fight a siege and annihilation battle in Mayi." "Ah?" The ministers were shocked.  Two months later, the Xiongnu grassland border area.  Chen He huddled in waist-deep weeds and remained motionless. The dark green camouflage on his body was a natural protective color. A winding river gurgled directly in front of him. Dozens of Huns riding on the river were resting.  They were the reconnaissance scouts of the Huns cavalry. They carried iron knives produced by the Han family on their waists and horned bows produced by the Han family on their backs. They sat around the goose on the river beach.Taste the delicious roasted yellow sheep between the rocks.  The Huns gathered on the grassland for almost two months. They invaded Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, and Shanggu County in three groups with 100,000 horsemen from King Zuoxian's army. They encountered a strong obstruction from the well-prepared Han army in the border counties.  Each of the three counties defended the city with about 20,000 Han troops. With the help of the earthen city and the fort-like chain network of wooden villages, the Xiongnu army was delayed in their penetration.  The Huns, who were originally showing off their power, soon found that they could no longer laugh.  "Damn it, the Han people are hiding in the city and can't get out. We have to return without success again." The morale of the Xiongnu scouts was dampened. They wandered in the northern part of Yanmen County for three days and found nothing. Almost everyone's mood was affected.  The dividing line is on the line of Shanwu City. From Shanwu City to the north, it is sparsely populated and looks like a desert. To the south, there are densely populated Luli villages connected by roads. Many roads have changed greatly from those in Yanmen County a few years ago. It is a strange area for the first time.  The Huns also had no confidence.  What's more, there are more than 10,000 defenders and 20,000 residents in Shanwu City. Once the Xiongnu army crosses Shanwu City and breaks into Mayi in a big way, they may be stabbed in the back.  Haralan is the new captain of the scout team. His uncle is the capable cavalry commander of King Zuoxian. With his diligent relationship, he was promoted from a leading soldier in the reserve team to a scout team under the king's cavalry.  As the leader, most of the Huns are not convinced by him. He also knows that he is just a gangster and cannot suppress the fierce and tough scouts.  But today's situation was different. Haralan promised his uncle to complete the task beautifully before leaving the station. When it came to embarrassing him, Haralan was anxious: "This can't be like this. We have to go south and continue.  Only by going south can we catch the Han people's tongue and find out the Han army's deployment." The old scout mocked: "Don't think about it. Didn't you see that all the beacon guards on the Great Wall were gone?  The main force of the Han army must be ambushing in the south. We are just sending prisoners. "The captain's ideas are still so naive." "The Han army has killed so many of our compatriots. How dare you go to the south?" Haralun's face turned pale with fear.  , he suddenly thought of a piece of news that suddenly came out half a month ago. Legend has it that a scout army composed of three hundred people went south and went deep into the vicinity of Mayi. There was a letter eagle delivering the news the night before, but it completely disappeared the next day.  , as if it had never appeared in that place.  There are many similar rumors. The various tribes of the Xiongnu are panicking. It is like the south is haunted. Suddenly there are fewer people, and people disappear without seeing the dead or dead. It is usually forbidden to discuss such news within the Xiongnu.  "Listen? What is this sound?" The old scout turned his head and looked at his face with a frightened face: "Han Army!"
