Time flies, and the weather is finally the coldest time.

The snow began to melt gradually, and the weather slowly began to warm up.

After that palace banquet, Daqin finally regained his true calm.

After all, Zhao Lang hadn't even started to seize the throne that day, so it was foreseeable that there should be no gap between the first emperor and the crown prince.

Well, in that case, they really thought too much about the banquet that day.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, it would be a **** banquet that day!

In the court, the ministers were also much more honest.

As long as the prince doesn't do some operations that they don't understand, then everyone can still get along well.

Now, everyone is honestly carrying out Zhao Lang's orders and preparing to deal with the Xiongnu.

Of course not all ministers are happy.

After the Tianchaotang discussion was completed, Zhao Lang called Chen Ping, and Xiao He went back to the palace together.

In a few more days, the snow on the road will melt. Although it is still winter, we have to start to act.

It was just for the two of them to start arranging affairs, and to see how they had learned under Li Si in the past few months.

It's just that Li Si eagerly held him back,

"His Royal Highness, this... this is my little girl..."

Before Li Si finished speaking, Zhao Lang couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said,

"Uncle Zhao, the relationship between you and me does not necessarily require marriage."

Ever since she knew that Li Linger approached her with a purpose,

Even the other party was deceived by Li Si.

There will be a little gap in my heart.

And after he came back, he was busy preparing to deal with the Huns, so he basically didn't pay much attention to these things.

After eating Xiaojiu, it was also years of affection.

Otherwise, how could such a clean and self-conscious person like him do such a thing?

Not his style.

Hearing Zhao Lang's words, Li Si directly sighed and said,

"His Royal Highness, it's not that the old ministers must pursue this marriage. After Ling'er came to propose marriage, everyone now knows that the son of the Zhao family outside the city is you. With your reputation, who among the ministers and nobles would dare to marry you?" Linger is close?"

Zhao Lang couldn't hold back what he said, what is his reputation?

Frowning slightly, Zhao Lang said quickly,

"Well, Uncle Zhao, I will give Ling'er an explanation after the Huns are pacified."

Only then did Li Si nodded in satisfaction. He still believed in his daughter's strength.

What happened before was mainly due to the unexpected actions of His Majesty and Zhao Lang.

Back then, the troops were led to attack Xianyang directly. Was that a human thing?

Back then, as long as the two father and son were normal, Li Linger and Zhao Lang would have been married long ago!

After the government affairs were over, Zhao Lang also returned to the palace.

But what Li Si said just now still lingered in his heart.

What is his reputation, what happened to his reputation?

At this time, Zhao Lang said to the big dog beside him,

"Big dog, what's wrong with my reputation you heard?"

The big dog froze for a moment, then said,

"Patriarch, your reputation has always been excellent."

"Let's not talk about Zhuangzi, the common people and farmers around us, who doesn't know how good you are now?"

"Without you, they would have starved to death."

Zhao Lang nodded, this reputation is very good.

After thinking about it, he asked the slave again,

"Slave, have you received any news?"

The slave looked serious and said,

"Master, your reputation is more noble than the ancient sages, and now all the slaves and maidservants in your palace have been restored to their freedom by you."

"The wages are also given to settle down, and the old ones are also taken care of. How can anyone say that you are wrong?"

Zhao Lang nodded again. There is nothing wrong with this reputation, it can even be said to be an excellent reputation.

But why did Uncle Li say that?

Suddenly Zhao Lang's heart moved, he thought of something, looked at Xiao He and Chen Ping who were beside him, and said,

"Tell me, how is my reputation among the nobles?"

Hearing this, both the big dog and the slave lowered their heads to look at the road. Chen Ping and Xiao He also changed their expressions slightly. After all, Chen Ping was more experienced and said,

"Well, leader, I have been calculating food and grass these days, but I have not communicated with the nobles."

Zhao Lang immediately looked at Xiao He.

Xiao He secretly scolded the other party for being treacherous, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and smile,

"This, leader, I didn't hear it either..."

Zhao Lang said calmly,

"I can ask someone to investigate. If I find out, if you don't tell me, you will definitely be punished!"

Xiao He's face was bitter at this time, and he replied,

"I have indeed heard some of this, but most of them are praises for you. For example, this one said that your moral character is the same as that of tigers and wolves."

Zhao Lang clicked his mouth, it looks like a tiger, and it's not bad with a wolf, then asked,

"anything else?"

Xiao He continued,

"Also said like...a poisonous snake, a fox..."

Zhao Lang frowned slightly, this is actually okay, right?

"Is there any more?"

Xiao He shook his head and said,

"Gone."

Zhao Lang returned immediately,

"It's nothing."

Zhao Lang shook his head and stopped worrying about these trivial matters, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the palace, Zhao Lang didn't take much rest, anyway, he had enough rest these days.

Started to ask Chen Ping and Xiao He about the details that were not easy to talk about in the court just now,

"Leader, all preparations for food and grass have been completed now, and they can be transported to the front line only after the road is clear."

"Han Xin has also paid off. Most of the sergeants have completed their training. There are nearly 150,000 new slave troops, and 50,000 of the original Southern Expedition Army. A total of 200,000 troops are available to drive."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but take a breath, and said happily,

"Okay!"

Naturally, the Southern Expedition Army was trained during the battle with the Xiang family, and there were hundreds of thousands at the beginning.

It was just that Chu land was pacified, some of them were disabled and died, and most of them stayed in Chu land, guarding Chu land with Meng Yi and the others.

The 50,000 elite followed.

However, in this short winter, Han Xin took out a new army of 150,000 slaves, which is really an exaggeration!

There are twenty here, plus the more than two hundred thousand troops led by Meng Tian.

This time, I have a little more confidence in dealing with the Huns.

Zhao Lang was so happy that he was about to give an order to praise, but when he saw that the expressions of both of them were slightly uncomfortable, he immediately said with a bit of seriousness,

"Why, the numbers here are wrong? It's a military matter, don't take it lightly!"

Chen Ping replied at this time,

"Boss, the new army of 150,000 slaves in Han Xin's hands, although they have a large number of people, their combat power may be worrying."

"My subordinates also went to the barracks to see that Han Xin's new slave army directly under the barracks, probably five can fight a Hun cavalry."

"The ones in the other camps are even worse, and the content of their training against the enemy is to stand still. How can they beat the Huns?"

Although Chen Ping is not that good at military affairs, he also knows how can this kind of training fight against the Huns?

So, he was still a little worried.

Zhao Lang suddenly understood, he knew this situation long ago, and roughly guessed why Han Xin only trained these people to stand still.

So he waved his hand and said,

"It doesn't matter, the military side listens to Han Xin."

Professional things, let professional people do it.

Then he clicked on the map on the table and said,

"What do you think about this war against the Huns?"

Hearing the question, both of them hesitated slightly, now Daqin has no shortage of generals, the Meng brothers are all there, Wang Jian and Wang Ben are old, but their vision is still there.

They are just two novices in the court now, Zhao Lang actually came to ask them about such an important military matter?

Seeing the hesitation of the two, Zhao Lang quickly said,

"But it doesn't matter."

The opinions of these two people still need to be heard, but it's just that before the war, with their current identities, I'm afraid they won't be able to express their opinions.

He purposely called them over.

With Zhao Lang's words, the two pondered for a while, Xiao He said at this time,

"The situation in this battle is actually not good for our army."

"If our army chooses to defend, even though we have the Great Wall to rely on, our military strength is still the same, but our army needs to defend thousands of miles of border!"

"And the opponent's cavalry, coming and going like the wind, passively defending, our army will only be exhausted."

"And if we attack, the grassland is the home of the Huns, and our army has few cavalry, so we don't have any advantage, and we have to worry about supplies."

"From the overall perspective, in this battle, the choice of fighters is all on the side of the Huns. It is really difficult."

After Xiao He finished speaking solemnly, Chen Ping also nodded in agreement, this was their common opinion.

Due to the limitations of terrain and arms, Daqin was at a disadvantage this time.

The best result is to defend this attack, but the countryside in the counties of the Northland will be severely damaged.

After all, there are 300,000 Huns this time!

This is a military power that the Huns have never had before!

Zhao Lang's expression also became serious. If Xiao He and Chen Ping both saw it this way, it meant that the situation was not optimistic.

Although the ministers in the DPRK did not say it clearly, they are probably also prepared for the damage to the counties in the Northland.

Anyway, this has been the case over the years, and there is no way.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had assembled an army of 300,000 this time, none of them would have wanted to add troops to Meng Tian.

Looking at the map and pondering for a while, Zhao Lang quickly said,

"Do you have any plans to gather the Huns' army in one place?"

The only advantage he has now is gunpowder.

Crossbow arrows can't be counted, because the cost is too great.

And to make gunpowder play the greatest role, it is necessary to gather these Huns.

Send the deal to the sky at once!

And there are not many opportunities, maybe only once or twice.

Because once gunpowder is used on a large scale, the Huns are not stupid, and they will all disperse at that time, and they will suffer.

The two also knew about the existence of gunpowder, and Chen Ping had also seen Zhao Lang use gunpowder to directly abolish Goguryeo's Ten Thousand Team.

But the two frowned and thought for a while, then shook their heads, Chen Ping said,

"Boss, the advantage of the Huns lies in their speed, they will not easily gather in large numbers."

"unless..."

Zhao Lang's eyes lit up, and he asked,

"Unless what?"

Chen Ping replied,

"Unless they feel that they have gained an absolute advantage, they gather in one place and besiege our army."

"It's just that this requires a huge price."

"I'm afraid it's difficult to deceive these people by pretending to fail. Even if it succeeds in fake defeat, the terrain must be right. Otherwise, our army will not be able to fight back."

Hearing the harsh conditions, Xiao He next to him couldn't help shaking his head and said,

"Boss, I have repeatedly thought about it before waiting. This time, we should focus on defense and dig more pits inside."

"Then supplement it with a bow and crossbow to minimize losses."

"Then, wait for the development, continue the strength, and three years later, use the army to defeat the Huns royal court!"

Although this response took a long time, it was an upright conspiracy!

After Zhao Lang listened, he didn't reply immediately, but his mind was turning rapidly.

Waiting for three years, in fact, he is willing to wait.

Only this time, the Huns are coming aggressively, so I'm afraid they won't give him this chance!

He had to prepare for the worst.

Looking closely at the map on the table, suddenly a hill near Daijun came into Zhao Lang's sight.

Zhao Lang pointed to the hill and asked,

"This is where?"

The terrain of this hill is very suitable for defensive counterattacks. If you prepare early, it may be miraculous.

Chen Ping glanced at it and said,

"This is Baideng Mountain, and the terrain is fairly dangerous."

"Bai Dengshan?"

Zhao Lang was slightly taken aback, the name sounded familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Lang didn't think about it, so he could only give up.

After discussing for a while, until the evening, Zhao Lang quickly said,

"Well, think about countermeasures when you go back, and let me know at any time."

The two left immediately.

Zhao Lang also stood up and stretched. Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu came over and waited for him to rest.

There was inevitably some friction during the period, and it was about to go off fire, Zhao Lang said with a smile,

"Two little foxes, I have to restrain myself recently, my lord."

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but blushed, and Xiao Qi returned,

"Young Master, we are not foxes, hee hee, we are humans!"

Zhao Lang was about to explain the allusion to the vixen, when he suddenly thought of what Xiao He said before, and then thinking about what Li Si said,

"What the hell, those nobles said I was like a tiger or something, co-authored and scolded me for not being human!?"

Are these scholars beating around the bush when they scold others?

Zhao Lang clicked his mouth, and first made a note of this account in his heart.

In the following time, Zhao Lang discovered that there were more news from various places.

It shows that the road has been gradually opened up.

One day, the slave came to report,

"Master, King Han, King Wei, several people from Qihou have sent letters, and also sent some supplies and money, saying that they want to go out with you."

Zhao Lang was slightly taken aback when he heard that, then smiled and said,

"Hmph, they remind me not to forget that their methods are not bad."

Now these people help him look at Han Di, Wei Di, and Qi Di~lightnovelpub.net~How can they leave?

This is a show of loyalty, and by the way, let Zhao Lang not forget them.

Zhao Lang still readily accepted this kind of overture.

"Tell them that it is the greatest contribution to guard their own place. When I come back, I will give them credit!"

"Just take all the money, it happens to be lacking."

Nu immediately took the order, and then prepared to leave.

Zhao Lang stopped him at this moment and said,

"Get ready again, let's go to the barracks."

Now that spring is approaching, when the road opens, he will lead the army northward.

Go to the barracks to see the final effect of the current training.
