"Although I don't know much about business matters, I would like to ask, if you do this, what should we do about these people who have a blood feud with the Huns? Aren't you afraid of provoking the wrath of the people by doing so? "

"You have to know, the big man's rangers aren't limited to trash like the border. In the mainland, there are actually quite a few rangers who are full of bloodlust. They even dare to kill a border envoy like me. What's more, you're just a young master. "

Hmm, it's a tradition of the big man to kill people on the streets. I have to compensate … The heck! Xiao Wen had already experienced the assassination of Guo Xiong in the streets, so he didn't want to repeat it again.

However, he still firmly said, "When I was learning from Master, Master once mentioned that during the Spring and Autumn Period, a certain Minister with the surname of Qiu once said, 'There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal national interests'. And I, too. If doing business with the Huns is in the interest of our big man, then we might as well put the dispute aside and rest. After all, from the founding of our country until now, we have never had a proper rest. A peaceful environment is also the foundation for that invisible hand to control the country. "

Even in the early Han dynasty, when the emperor paid particular attention to the rule of nothing, he held back the Huns with his kinship and thus obtained a period of peaceful development, thus laying the foundation for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty's subsequent rejection of the Huns.

Furthermore, as someone familiar with history, Xiao Wen knew that since the Han Dynasty, the Huns were just a bunch of people who allowed the big men to grind with them.

Thus, Xiao Wen had no interest in bearing grudges against this doomed country.

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Uncle Li thoughtfully nodded his head.

"There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal national interests. "That's right, that's right. That makes a lot of sense." Uncle Li said with a face full of approval.

"I believe that people can establish a kind of trust between themselves, making them sacrifice themselves to help others. But there is so much to consider between countries that personal feelings can only be put at the bottom. "

"In that case, I hope that you can bring eternal national interest to my big size." Li Bo Ke said to Xiao Wen with a resolute expression.

Xiao Wen originally thought that Uncle Li had promised him that he would be allowed to go to the north to talk business with the Huns.

Unexpectedly, he still stopped Xiao Wen from leaving.

"Brother Xiao Wen." Though your explanation will convince me that it is better to do business with the Huns than to fight them. But how can you persuade me not to worry about your safety? "

"Even though it's fine if the big man loses a Young Master Mo, but I know your talent. You are destined to be a marquis, and if you die, it will be the big man's loss."

"I have already arranged for the guards of the caravan. Those guards are very skilled on the way to the Huns. I believe they can help me deal with the common robbers of the prairie. " Xiao Wen said calmly.

However, Uncle Li shook his head and said: "You know I don't mean that."

He pointed at the map on the table and pointed at the Manchu Manchu Tarantula encampment, which was only a few dozen miles away from the clouds. "The leader of these Manchu Manchu constables is also a wise man," he said. After a few battles, he had already seen that our cavalry was single, unable to make long journeys. Therefore, unless we start a decisive battle, it will be very difficult for us to dispatch troops to attack from this position. "

As for the final battle …

That sort of thing would probably not happen until Liu Bang returned home.

Xiao Wen was also well aware of the shortcomings of the cavalry. After all, this cavalry unit was only a cavalry unit that relied on the defense of the city for counterattacks. They were able to defend and counterattack when enemy cavalry harassed and looted the surrounding areas.

However, this cavalry was more reliant on logistics than the old cavalry.

If they were allowed to form an army on their own and go on a long journey, it would undoubtedly challenge a country's logistics capability.

However, it was necessary to fight the numbers one on one when the quality of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was destined to be inferior to that of the nomads born on horseback.

If Xiao Wen wanted to ease the situation and increase the military supply to one to two, or even one to three, it would greatly reduce the original number advantage of the cavalry.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Wen said, "Speaking of which, according to the system, our Han Empire should be able to create a title with less than eighteen private troops, right?"

Uncle Li nodded, but then shook his head. "Don't tell me you think that you can defeat thousands of Manchu constables by relying on the strength of eighteen private troops?"

Although Uncle Li's tone was full of doubt, Xiao Wen said confidently: "Milord, you must understand that the Manchu Manchu Mansion has just experienced the defeat of the Cloud Central City, and their morale is already at the bottom. They might not even dare to fight us. "

"Second, even though the Manchu constables were an elite of eight, their equipment was still far behind. On the other hand, my private army can equip the best military equipment. "With these pieces of equipment, the military gap between us and the enemy will only grow bigger and bigger."

Xiao Wen was very proud of this.

After all, Lee's army now included the Venetian crossbow and the Greek fire that Xiao Wen had shot at.

The former possessed a might that was not inferior to an early stage spear, and was able to easily pierce through the armor of heavy cavalry. As for the latter, it can also destroy the formation of the cavalry, effectively killing and injuring the cavalry.

"Third, we Chinese have already been worried about the Tarantula. It was just like how they had wanted to pass the war of attrition and remain in the clouds. The current them, even if they attacked our caravan, would not be able to attack for long. "As time goes on, they will begin to worry about the armies in our city."

"And lastly …" Xiao Wen paused, then took out a stack of blueprints, "Based on what I have learned in the past, this armoured carriage is designed to travel in the war zone. Although this carriage is heavy and will reduce the traveling speed of the caravan, but taking into account the special circumstances of this trip to the Huns, I think it is still necessary to equip it. "

The armored coach designed by Xiao Wen was rectangular in shape and two meters tall. There was a small curve in front and behind the carriage that matched with the other carriages and connected to form a ring shaped fortifications.

As for the side of the carriage, it was equipped with iron armor, which could effectively defend against the enemy's attacks.

On the other side, there was a platform and a door. The people in the carriage fortifications were able to rely on the carriage to defend the city walls. It could also be used as a fortress to shoot outside through the holes in the carriage.

The most important thing for Xiao Wen to do business with the northern Huns was to sign a trade agreement with Prince Xian of the Left.

He was not in a hurry to go to the Huns — the Huns were not, after all, like the city people who lived their lives at a brisk pace in later generations, and had a strong sense of time. Even if Xiao Wen traveled for a year, the other side would probably not care.

Therefore, for his own safety, this armoured carriage was a good choice.
