On the school grounds, Liu Cheng summoned the students who had passed the martial arts examinations who were training and studying here to question and test their learning status.
Huang Zhong told Liu Cheng about his situation, "The villain's martial arts and archery skills are inherited from the family.
My father has been supervising me since I was a child.
However, my father only knows martial arts and archery, but he does not know how to lead an army or plan a military strategy." .
The villain did not study after joining the army.
Whenever he charged in a battle, he just kept his head down and rushed forward.
Even if he became a captain, a team officer, or a hundred-man general, he would not I took the lead in charging with weapons, but I didn’t know how to organize the troops and arrange them in formation.
It wasn’t until I became a Sima that I learned some basic methods of leading troops from my superiors.
Or I watched my superiors lead troops and thought to myself, but my superiors didn’t know how.
It was only after the professor entered this military camp to study after passing the martial arts examination that he came into contact with the mysteries of leading troops and arranging troops."
Taishi Ci's situation was similar, but there were differences.
He did not have a father who knew martial arts and archery, but he met a good master and learned good martial arts and archery.
Gan Ning was different.
He neither had a powerful father nor a powerful master.
His family background was quite good and he was from a wealthy local family in Yizhou.
Since Liu Yan entered Shu, his family was ruined and he had to flee the rivers and lakes.
However, he himself was extremely talented and powerful, and his ability to swim was far beyond ordinary people.
In recent years, he organized a group of outlaws on the Yangtze River.
He killed the rich and helped the poor in the upper reaches, and went into the rivers and lakes.
He developed his own skills through fighting.
However, he did not know how to lead or train troops.
He only used his brotherly loyalty to win over his brothers.
Naturally, his subordinates were also a mob.
Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci both learned the art of battlefield fighting, and they were very systematic in this aspect.
In the words of later generations, they were from a professional background, while Gan Ning's skills were figured out by himself.
He was from a wild background and used gangster methods.
In terms of horse fighting, Gan Ning was naturally no match for Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci, and his riding skills were also average; in terms of foot fighting, Huang Zhong was far superior to them, while Taishi Ci and Gan Ning were equal opponents, and neither could do anything to the other; But on the boat and in the water, ten Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci were no match for Gan Ning.
Although these people are all highly skilled in martial arts, they have never systematically learned about leading troops, training troops, arranging troops, or military strategies and tactics.
They have only truly experienced this since entering this military camp.
Liu Cheng listened quietly to each of them talking about their learning experience and feelings over the past six months.
At this time, Chen Qun came over and whispered in his ear.
After hearing this, Liu Cheng nodded and said to Huang Zhong and a large number of martial arts students: "You can seize the time to study here with peace of mind.
You can learn as much as you can.
There won't be much time left for you.
When you are all assigned in the future, When you serve in various armies, it will be very difficult for you to take time to study peacefully.
That’s it for today.
I still have official duties, so I won’t stay.”
The martial arts students clasped their fists and bowed, saying: "Best farewell to the Duke."
Coming out of the school grounds, Liu Cheng asked gloomily as he walked: "Tell me the details."
"Nuo" Chen Qun agreed and quickly followed Liu Cheng and said: "According to the news from Jiuyuan, more than 10,000 Huns cavalry plundered the eastern part of Wuyuan County three days ago, and almost all the local people were slaughtered. , all the women, cattle, sheep and horses were taken away.”
Liu Cheng's face was livid and he said angrily: "Are you tired of living a humble life?
A few years ago, I let him go without sending troops to pursue him.
I just asked him to go back to appease the tribe.
Today, his wings have become stronger."
Returning to Da Sima's Mansion, Liu Cheng immediately summoned his close aides to discuss matters.

After Chen Qun reported the situation to everyone, Liu Chenggong said: "This person is quite brave to go to the humble.
All the Huns live in our Han Dynasty, but they are still looting in our Han Dynasty.
Let's talk about this.
How to deal with it” Xun Yu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I remember that a month ago a memorial was sent from the Wuyuan County Prefecture, saying that the Tuoba Xianbei tribe in Mobei has gradually migrated southward in recent years, seriously squeezing the living space of the Huns.
Tuoba The Xianbei people have appeared at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.
I wonder if this is the reason why the Huns raided the eastern part of Wuyuan County this time."
Liu Cheng slapped the desk and said angrily: "The bastard Xianbei people robbed the Huns.
The Huns didn't dare to offend the Xianbei people.
They stretched out their butcher's knives to the Han people just because they stuttered.
They really think that we Han people are weak."
Wu Fu stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the Huns are just a white-eyed wolf that they are not familiar with.
I will ask you to lead an army to attack the Huns."
Liu Cheng was so angry that his chest was violently bullied, and his breathing was like a blower.
He got up and walked down the hall and walked back and forth.
Guo Jia stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Lord, please calm down.
Anger will not solve the problem.
My subordinates believe that the top priority is not to rush to send troops, but to investigate the internal situation of the Huns.
We are not clear about the situation of Tuoba Xianbei in the central part.
At the same time, People must be sent immediately to the plundered areas to find and rescue survivors.”
Liu Cheng calmed down, sat back at the desk and thought for a moment, then said: "I believe that Wang Lin, the prefect of Wuyuan, has already done the search and rescue of survivors.
The most important thing now is to find out the internal situation of the Huns.
And who was responsible for this robbery?
Is it related to the Tuoba Xianbei tribe north of Yinshan Mountain compressing the living space of the Huns to the south?
Wang Shuang ordered the secret camp to find out the whole story of this matter as quickly as possible.
I also want to know the inside of the Huns.
The current power structure and the situation of Tuoba Xianbei" "Yes."
Wang Shuang stood up and agreed with his fists clasped.
At this time, Zhang Ji stood up and cupped his hands and said: "For your information, my lord, Honglu Temple recently received a letter from the Zhangye County Prefect's Mansion, saying that the three great lords of Xianbei in the west, Jiluo Luo, Rilu Deyan, and Yanliyou, came in with their envoys respectively.
We are in Han Dynasty and have claimed that we are going to Beijing to meet with you.
Three envoys have arrived at Zhangye City and will continue their journey to Chang'an in the near future."
"Oh" Liu Cheng was stunned at first, but he immediately understood why the three adults from the Western Xianbei tribe came to Chang'an to pay homage.
The thing is obvious.
With the last Liu Cheng led his army to patrol the countries in the Western Regions, the influence of the Han Dynasty was not only consolidated and improved among the countries in the Western Regions, but also exerted influence on Wusun and the rear of Cheshi farther west.
With huge deterrent power, these countries in the Western Regions have now surrendered to the feet of the Han Dynasty.
The Xianbei tribes in the west are very sensitive to the changes in the situation in the south.
They also realize that the Han Dynasty can organize the troops of the countries in the Western Regions to threaten them at any time, so they can't wait.
Bring the envoys to pay tribute.
Liu Cheng immediately ordered: "Honglu Temple will send a message to the officials in Liangzhou and Yongzhou where the mission passed along the way, asking them to send county soldiers to escort and monitor along the way."
Zhang Ji agreed: "Promise" Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment, then handed over his hand and said: "My lord, if you want to know the internal situation of the Huns and Tuoba Xianbei, my subordinates do know a little bit, but because the information collected by my subordinates has not been confirmed, it cannot be completely confirmed."
It must be true or false.”
Liu Cheng admired and affirmed Zhang Ji's work attitude.
If it were someone else who was the great minister, who would be collecting this information?
"Whether it is hearsay or information obtained from other channels, please tell me."
"Nuo" Zhang agreed and immediately began to tell what he knew: "We all know that the Huns are now divided into three parts scattered in our Bingzhou territory.
One part is in Hedong.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This part has been since Huchuquan and his After the nephew was captured by our army and the lord ordered them to be killed, this part There was no leader anymore, and the local government divided them up and scattered them across Hedong; the second group was in Xihe County.
This group was more honest.
They had not done anything extraordinary since the branch moved south, and their residences were scattered widely.
;The third part is around Chanyuting in Meiji City."
"As far as my subordinates know, since he went to Bei a few years ago and led hundreds of defeated soldiers across the Taihang Mountains to escape back to Chanyu Ting Meiji City, although he was nominally supported as a Chanyu, the power of the tribe was controlled by the Xiongnu Lao In the hands of the king and the shaman, he has become a puppet.
Personally, I am more inclined to believe that the Huns’ looting incident was not Qubei’s idea, but was instigated by the Hun king and the shaman.”
Liu Cheng rested his elbow on the desk and touched his chin, "Tell me about Tuoba Xianbei's situation, why they are called Tuoba Xianbei, how many tribes they have, and who is their leader now?"
Zhang Ji replied: "Back to my lord, Tuoba actually means bald.
Baldness means wearing braids.
People of other Xianbei tribes will shave part of their hair on the top of their heads.
Therefore, Tuoba Xianbei is also called Suotou Xianbei.
Not all Tuoba Xianbei are Tuoba clan, there are also tribes such as Kezui, Queju, Murong, etc., but Tuoba tribe accounts for the majority, and these small tribes all submit to Tuoba tribe."
"Tuoba Xianbei, also known as Central Xianbei, is divided into ten tribes, namely Tuoba clan, Hegu clan, Pu clan, Baba clan, Daxi clan, Yilou clan, Qiu Dun clan, Qihai clan, The Yizhan clan, the Chekun clan and the other nine clans are all branches of the Tuoba clan."
"The current leader of Tuoba Xianbei is Tuoba Jiefen.
He has the eldest son Tuofa Pigu and the youngest son Tuoba Liwei.
It is said that the youngest son Tuoba Liwei is seventeen years old.
He is born to be powerful, brave and good at fighting.
He must fight every battle.
Charge ahead" Liu Cheng stood up and walked to the hall and said: "This place in Mobei is really nurturing.
First, the Huns became kings and hegemons there and unified the world.
They defeated the countries of Donghu, Dingling, Kunjian, Hujie, Fuyu and the Western Regions.
Dare to take the lead.
The Huns were rampant for two hundred years and were defeated by us.
One group moved westward and the other After the Xiongnu moved away, the Xianbei and Wuwan people, who were descendants of Donghu who had been hiding in the mountains and forests, emerged again.
A few decades ago, a man named Tan Shihuai came out to unify all the Xianbei tribes in Mobei. , and later the Xianbei people were divided into three tribes: East, Central and West, each led by an adult.
At that time, the briefly unified Xianbei people split again.
Over the past ten years, our Han Dynasty had almost forgotten that there were Xianbei people in Mobei due to civil strife.
Few, but the winter in Mobei is not easy, so they want to migrate To a more comfortable place, it has been their longing since Yinshan Mountain.
Everyone, why are we always beaten by the barbarians from the north?
Why do they come when they want and leave when they want?
Why can't we drive away all the barbarians on the Mobei grassland, and then ourselves Take over that place and beat whoever comes.
Tell me why."
These confidants looked at each other in confusion.
Liu Cheng continued: "At the time of Emperor Xiaowu, most of Liangzhou was still the territory of the Huns.
He sent Zhang Qian as envoy to the Yuezhi Kingdom and almost lost his life when he passed through the Hexi Corridor controlled by the Huns.
What about now?
Hexi has become the territory of our Han people, and we Han people will forever occupy the Hexi Corridor.
If we can occupy the Hexi Corridor, why can't we occupy the entire Mobei Grassland?
Since the Huns have been beaten away by us, why can't we occupy the Mobei Grassland and let it become an ownerless land, which was finally given over to the Xianbei people?
I don’t understand why we are so stupid after taking advantage of it.”
"Why do I tell you, because of the bitter cold in Mobei, because we all only want to have fun, and we all like to go to prosperous places like the capital, thinking that they are barren, barren, and bitter cold places.
No one wants to I'm willing to go.
In fact, the Huns once had 600,000 string-controlling men in that bitter cold land.
They beat me to the point of paying tribute every year and sending princesses to marry each other.
Haven't you heard?

Do you want to say something?
Born in sorrow and died in happiness.
The life is too comfortable and the fighting spirit is lost.
The peaceful life is too long and the crisis is forgotten.
The place in Mobei is indeed bitter and cold, but if you want to say that it is barren and barbaric, I will never admit it.
As the saying goes, can its barrenness make horses fat and strong?
Its bitter cold can temper people into strong warriors.
People born there are born warriors who are not afraid of death."
"The Huns suffered a loss because they did not develop a complete civilization.
If they could possess our civilization and wisdom, if nothing else, as long as they had a few commanders with outstanding military talents, they could command dozens of people.
Ten thousand born warriors go south, I I dare not imagine what will happen.
Or maybe they have learned our military strategies, our weapons, armor, and forging methods of bows and crossbows.
When our national power is weakened, just like during the reign of the late Emperor and Dong Zhuo, you yourself Just imagine what would happen.”
Xun Yu stood up and raised his hands and asked: "My lord, you want to completely wipe out all the barbarians in Mobei."
Liu Chengdao: "I have this idea, but it will take time to plan.
Let's just deal with the Huns for the time being."
Zhang Ji's introduction to the Huns and Tuoba Xianbei can be considered relatively comprehensive, but these are only generalizations, and the specific strength of the Huns and Xianbei is still unclear.
As the secret camp began its in-depth investigation of the Huns, news came one after another towards Chang'an.
Liu Cheng learned from these constant messages that there were about 60,000 Huns near Meiji City, and about 20,000 string-controlling men.
This included all men who could mount a horse-drawn bow.
On.
This number has greatly increased from previous years.
It is no wonder that the Huns are desperate this time to invade the border.
They cannot feed the large number of people.
The north is constantly invaded by the Xianbei people.
The Huns cannot defeat the Xianbei people, and they do not have enough food and grass to survive the winter.
They can only risk their lives and extend the butcher knife to the surrounding Han people.
The people who presided over this matter were the Hun king and the shaman, and the king Qubei had truly become a puppet
