Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Let me give you an example. It has been three days since the Rakshasa Kingdom's 200,000 troops entered the northwest. During these three days, they were blocked by a line of defense. And these 200,000 people, you know Song Chengzhou in the northwest How many people did Mr. Song use to stop him?"

Ning Fan asked everyone to guess a question, but when everyone heard what Ning Fan said, they all had a question mark on their faces.

If the fighting strength of the Rakshasa Kingdom is 200,000, then Dakang would need at least double that, and at least 400,000 people would be needed to stop the Rakshasa people.

But in the end, the answer given by Ning Fan made everyone full of disbelief, because Ning Fan told everyone that Song Chengzhou only mobilized 30,000 troops in the northwest to stop the 200,000 Rakshasa people, and the Rakshasa people had to wait for three days. One cannot take an inch further.

"Your Majesty, this is unlikely. After all, the disparity between us and the enemy is too great. Did you hear it correctly?"

Xiao Chong's face was full of disbelief.

As a general who has been fighting against the Huns all year round, Xiao Chong is too aware of the consequences of the disparity in power between the enemy and ourselves. War is not a dinner party, nor is it a legendary novel. If the disparity in numbers is too great, it is impossible to win the battle. .

"It's true. Thirty thousand people faced the Rakshasa Kingdom's two hundred thousand people. It's just that they built another line of defense in the Jiange."

Ning Fan gave the final answer.

As for what kind of defense line, Ning Fan did not explain too much, but now that Ning Fan said these words, everyone had to believe it. For a while, some people showed excited expressions on their faces, while others Gearing up to make achievements again.

For these generals, there may not be many opportunities left for them to make contributions. With the Huns completely defeated, Dakang is likely to have no opponents in the next stage. It will be invincible in the world, so these soldiers They will no longer have any use. If you want to rely on military merit to get promoted, it is basically impossible.

And these rough guys who only know how to fight are not like those literati who can use poems, books and articles as a way to advance to official positions. They can only rely on fighting.

There are now more than 300,000 people in the northwest, but Ning Fan advocates leaving 100,000 people to continue to garrison in the northwest. Although there are no enemies on the grasslands in the northwest, the grassland tribes in the northwest are still continuing to multiply. How to deal with these Huns? A huge question.

Of course, after the discussion, many people proposed to exterminate all the Huns directly, leaving no chance for the Huns to recover, but Ning Fan rejected this idea.

It is too crazy to massacre a race, not to mention that nowadays Dakang needs more labor force. These Huns are not inherently evil. In fact, the reason for the fight between Huns and Dakang is the competition for living space.

When everyone has nothing to eat, you have to fight with your life for a steamed bun, but once both parties are rich and have endless fish and meat, then there is no need to fight anymore. Ning Fan believes that these Huns Integrating into Dakang is not that difficult.

"General Xiao, it is up to you to organize the Huns into separate groups and move them to various provinces in the interior."

He passed the matter to the general Xiao Chong and went north to fight against the Rakshasa people.

Ning Fan must personally drive and conquer. This matter must not be careless. If it goes wrong, it will be a disaster for Dakang.

Since Ning Fan and Xiao Lingxi got married, Xiao Zhong has undoubtedly been promoted to father-in-law. However, the relationship between the two is still the courtesy of monarch and minister. Even if Xiao Zhong meets Ning Fan, he still has to kneel down. Jun, minister, minister, father. Father and son can never surpass each other in this aspect.

"Your Majesty, I have something I want to talk to Your Majesty alone."

Xiao Chong's expression was serious. It seemed that regarding the Rakshasa people, his mood was far less relaxed than Ning Fan's.

In the evening, the north wind blew loudly, and the stove in the tent was radiating hot heat, and fragrant beef was stewed on the stove.

Ning Fan and Xiao Zhong sat opposite each other, with wine bottles placed next to them. The smell of wine and meat mixed together made the whole tent full of liveliness and warmth.

"I always feel that there is something fishy about His Majesty's Rakshasa people. If we don't understand this matter clearly, there will definitely be problems if we head north rashly."

Xiao Chong said earnestly.

Xiao Chong is a general who has been stationed in the northwest border for thirty years. In these thirty years of ups and downs, Xiao Chong has seen too many conspiracies and decisions.

So he had many questions about the Rakshasa people's sudden attack on Dakang.

"General, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be so polite between the two of us."

Ning Fan was still very easy-going and relaxed when chatting with Xiao Chong, and did not put on any airs of being an emperor.

During the fight for the throne, Ning Fan needed Xiao Zhong's help the most. At that time, Xiao Zhong chose to stand aside. This incident had a great influence on Ning Fan, and the rift between the two still exists to this day. There is no fix.

Perhaps this rift will last forever, but there is a layer of family affection connecting the two, so although the relationship between the two will not be that good, it will definitely not deteriorate.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, are the Rakshasa people really, as you said, unwilling to see our great prosperity rise?"

"Actually, I have a different view on this issue. I don't think that is necessarily the case. The reason why the Rakshasa people traveled thousands of miles from the northwest and crossed the endless mountains to come to Dakang is that they may have another idea. "

Xiao Chong picked up the iron rod and fiddled with the flames in the cage. The firelight shone on his face, making him look deep and sad.

"Sometimes things are really not that complicated. It's people who make things complicated. There really aren't many conflicts of interest between us and the Rakshasa people. There can only be one reason for them to come to our Dakang, and that is that they can't see each other. We're good."

Ning Fan had no doubts about his judgment, so no matter what Xiao Zhong said at this time, Ning Fan would not believe it too much.

"Could it be related to the batch of gold that Your Majesty obtained before?"

Xiao Chong finally raised the deepest question in his heart.

Now it was Ning Fan's turn to be surprised. After all, Ergou and the others had kept the batch of golden royals back from Miluo under secrecy. How did Xiao Chong know this news?

But Ning Fan thought it was normal. After all, Xiao Zhong was the general and Xiao Lingxi's father. It was normal to hear such news from Xiao Lingxi.

"Your Majesty, please don't think wildly. I didn't hear this news from my daughter, but from a general who came back from the desert. This general has been stationed in the desert all year round. He just returned to the northwest not long ago. I and I He met once."
