The role of forage on livestock is self-evident.

There is not enough grass, let alone forming a cavalry. Even the horses of Liu Bei's own trough can't afford to feed them.

Nowadays, forage grass is flooded, and it is very useful.

This is just the yield on the dike surface. Liu Bei also ordered people to plant a large number of slopes on both sides.

It’s a pity that the slope is steep and the mowing truck cannot be harvested. It requires manpower. It doesn’t matter. The herdsmen in Xilinyi rafted to cut every day. The grass was placed on the embankment and dried. Then transported back to the forage yard in Yizhong. The boats were previously required to use oars, but the herdsmen were unable to use it. Now they have been changed to wheel boats, which are easy to operate, and even the Hu people in the north can control it. Even so, there are too many forage grasses to be filled, so Liu Bei ordered people to pile them directly on the embankment. Build a shed to cover it and serve as a temporary forage yard.

The grass is tender and easy to digest. The hay is light and easy to carry.

Therefore, when marching and fighting, we often bring hay and grass for easy feeding at the groove.

After spring and summer, the horse is fat and strong.

The training of the war horses is also completed, which is very useful.

Hearing that in June, the emperor summoned all officials to discuss the Northern Expedition in the court. Many ministers had objections.

Cai Yong (yōng) said: "There are a long history of expeditions to foreign tribes. However, time has similarities and differences, situations have their own possibilities and difficulties, so strategies have gains and losses, things have success and failure, and they cannot be equally regarded. With the mighty and brave generals, the generals and military taxes are very fulfilling, and the territory they have opened up is vast and vast. However, after decades of foreign wars, the court and the people have fallen into poverty. Emperor Wu still feels deeply regretful. What's more, today, people and wealth are short of both people and wealth, and the national strength is at a disadvantage compared to the past.

Since the Huns fled far away, the Xianbei has become increasingly powerful and occupied the homeland of the Huns, claiming to have 100,000 troops. The soldiers are elite, brave and intelligent, and have endless wisdom. In addition, the border fortresses are not tight, and there are many omissions in the ban on the French Net, "All kinds of refined metals and excellent iron tools are flowing out to the hands of the enemy."

"The fugitive among the Han people became the think tank of the Xianbei."

"The Xianbei weapons were sharp and the war horses were fast, all of which surpassed the Huns." In the past, Duan Hun was a good general who was familiar with the army and was brave and good at fighting. However, the war in the Western Qiang lasted for more than ten years.

Now, Tian Yan's talent and strategy may not be better than Duan Hun, while the power of the Xianbei people is not weaker than before. He actually proposed a plan to destroy the enemy for two years out of thin air, and he still thought he could succeed?

If the war is in chaos and the situation is stalemate, you cannot give up halfway. You have to continue recruiting troops and reinforcements and transfer food and fodder. As a result, in order to deal with all the barbarians, the Central Plains are exhausted.

"The disasters in the frontier are just small problems such as scabies born on hands and feet; difficulties in the mainland are big problems such as poisonous sores on the chest and back." Nowadays, the rebels in counties cannot be banned. How can powerful foreign tribes be subdued? In the past, Emperor Gao endured the shame of the failure of Pingcheng, and Empress Dowager Lu endured the insults of the arrogant letters of the Xiongnu Chanyu. Compared with today, which era was strong?

"The heaven sets up mountains and rivers, the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, and the Han Dynasty established the passers-by and pavilions. The purpose is to isolate the Central Plains and the frontiers, so that the nations with different customs and habits can be separated from each other." As long as there is no urgent and worrying matter in the country, how can we care about the length of the insects and ants-like barbarians?

"Even if the Xianbei can be defeated, how can they be wiped out and the court can rest assured"? In the past, when King Liu An of Huainan persuaded the court to confront the Minyue Kingdom, he said: "If the Minyue Kingdom risked his life to fight, as long as one of our great Han's firewood and the soldiers who drove the car were injured, even if the head of the Minyue King was cut off, they would still be ashamed of our great Han Dynasty." Now, we plan to treat the people of the Central Plains and the foreign tribes in the frontiers as equals, and humiliate the emperor's majesty to the border people. Even if it can be as dangerous as Xia Yu and Tian Yan said, there will still be a crisis. What's more, the gains, losses, success and failure are unpredictable?"

However, Emperor Ling refused to obey.

After Liu Bei read Cai Yong's memorial, he remained silent for a long time.

Cai Yong is a great man. Every word he said is directly pointing to the disadvantages of the current situation. However, he knows his own affairs. How could Tian Yan, who proposed to destroy the Xianbei for two years, not know? He wanted to defeat the Xianbei locust plague before the minor disease of scabies became a major life and death threat, and defeat it in one go before the Xianbei locust plague was weak.

The result of the battle was not to kill all the Xianbei people. Instead, they killed the enemy chiefs and let the Xianbei people turmoil themselves. They attacked each other and were unable to move south anymore.

Cai Yong obviously had no way to know such a secret. He was not familiar with military affairs, especially the Hu people's nature and regime structure. Xia Yu, Tian Yan and other generals lived in the border for a long time and fought against the Qiang and Hu. They knew very well about the nature of the foreign races. They also knew that as long as Tan Shihuai died, the Xianbei would inevitably be divided into three tribes. The court only needed to use gentleness to win over the Huns in the north and south, and divided them into different places. Decades later, the Xianbei would no longer be in trouble.

Everyone has their own reasons.

In Liu Bei's opinion, this battle may be avoided. Because Tan Shihuai also died young in history. However, I don't know if Tan Shihuai's early death was like the Huns' king's massacre of Teruo's corpse and expelling the Shanyu, it was related to this battle?

At the end of July, the heat has just passed.

Zuo Feng took a light car and entered Lou Sang.

He sent an imperial edict to Liu Bei as the minister of Huangmen and the captain of Hu Qi, and came out of the pass to respond.

The Hu Qi Crew Captain, one of the eight lieutenants, was in charge of the cavalry troops stationed in Chiyang. Because they used a large number of high-quality horses tributed by Western countries such as Dayuan, they were named Hu Qi Crew Captain. They were ranked as the most sophisticated and powerful troops in the Western Han Dynasty with the rank of two thousand stones, and they were all appointed as the Chief and Sima. The seven lieutenants were always appointed, but this was not often appointed. The Eastern Han Dynasty was incorporated into Changshui. Since the Hu Qi Crew Captain and Changshui Captain were responsible for the Hu Qi, they were mostly governed by brave and brave and loyal generals of the Han Dynasty, and there were many foreign generals who surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Most of the soldiers in their army called the army's surname, called Hu.

Because the Hu Qi Captain was not often appointed, he could take it back as appropriate after the war. Similar to the General of the Cavalry, he would be appointed as an official when there was a war, and he would be dismissed after the matter was completed. It was very convenient.

Zuo Feng really did the work, which made Liu Bei look at him with admiration. He was entertained, traveled around and had a constant banquet. Before leaving, the family secretary Geng Yong gave him a huge cash box full of money. Zuo Feng did not postpone it and returned happily. Seeing that the young master was in charge of the land, changing with each passing day. It was as bright as the white marsh before, and Zuo Feng was even more happy. Liu Bei had a good relationship with him. If the young master was good, he would naturally follow him.

At a young age, he is the Huangmen Order. The Central General Attendant is just around the corner!

The key is that the young lords prefer wealth and righteousness, and they are generous in their hands. With the truth, wealth can be used to help the gods. They are both responsible for the upper and lower parts, and the left and right are all ears and ears. They are well-informed and are like fish in water in the forbidden area. Even the several old masters around His Majesty also looked at him differently. They called him "Shaoling". This time, they asked several Zhongchang servants to give advice, and they were very proud and were very proud. How could they not be happy? But when they thought that the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were spent on, they couldn't help but feel a pain. They wanted to open again in a blink of an eye.

There is ample time.
