Wang Buxu didn't know the specific process of the Huns' battle.

But we know that the Huns defeated the Donghu in one battle, and then defeated the Yuezhi again with a backhand.

Then, there is the Siege of Baideng.

In four years, three major things were done.

In terms of time, it is indeed very tight. This can only be achieved if everything goes smoothly and everything goes smoothly.

Coupled with the winter snowstorm, Wang Buxu almost thought that the battle between the Huns and Donghu people would never last long.

Even the Donghu people would be defeated if they were unable to mount a frontal defense.

In such a battlefield situation, no matter what happens, it is not unexpected.

"Last winter, the Huns wanted to show off their muscles in front of the big Han, and wanted to tell me who was the king of the grassland, but they never thought that the Han army could easily defeat the Huns!"

"Although that battle showed the momentum of the Han army and the majesty of the Han army!"

"But it also made the Huns more vigilant. In the past, they just regarded the big man as a sheep that could be petted at any time. Now the big man has changed and turned into a wolf that can bite him at any time."

"Let the Han army enter the grassland to fight with them. I don't think Maodun Shanyu has the courage yet."

"So, taking advantage of the current vulnerability of the Han Dynasty's eastern border defense line, we can create trouble in the east and attract the Han Dynasty's energy there."

"Our mobility is weaker than theirs. They can launch a surprise attack at any point at will, and we can only cope with it."

"If this scene really happened, then the border army officers and soldiers would have to go back and forth to put out the fire."

Wang Buxu suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Li and said: "I don't expect you to be able to keep the Huns out of the country. I just want to tell the Huns that my big men are not their back garden, let alone theirs."

You can come when you want and leave when you want!"

"I obey the order!" Wang Li responded directly.

Wang Buxu has already said this. If he refuses, he is a retard.

There is no need to try every means to keep them out of the country. If they dare to come, find a way to teach them a profound lesson.

For a general who commands troops, is there any lower condition than this?

Of course not anymore.

Previously, Wang Li was worried about the long border line, and a hundred thousand troops were simply not enough.

Fortunately, the emperor knew this in his heart, so he did not give him any particularly embarrassing tasks.

"Your Majesty, can we consider rebuilding the Great Wall?" Xiao He suddenly asked.

Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Xiao He was not surprised. Instead, he explained: "Building the Great Wall used to be time-consuming, laborious and expensive, but it is different now. The imperial court can immediately send a team of people to build the brick factory and cement factory first."

Then, we can recruit people from the border counties. Before the autumn harvest, we can plug up the small gaps. If we have extra energy, we can even complete the entire Great Wall. In this way,

If the Xiongnu wants to go south in the future, won’t there be so many opportunities?”

"This is feasible..." Chen Ping nodded.

As for what will happen this year?

The Huns are very likely to go south. If they build the Great Wall at this time, wouldn't they be sending food to the Huns?

The answer is that the food may be delivered, but if the court had already prepared it, it is still a question whether the Huns would eat the dish.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, men were almost all soldiers. It was just different ages and different combat abilities.

Use materials to create a formation on the construction site. This is a natural horse-repelling formation to defend against cavalry charges.

If you have the ability, let your war horse hit the bricks and see if they can be knocked away.

Let the cavalry slow down and use long weapons. Even if they are not trained, even three or five people can stab him to death.

"I have nothing to do, so I'm going to build the Great Wall now!" Wang Buxu waved his hand and directly chose to refuse.

The Great Wall will be repaired, and he will also repair it for the future.

But not now.

The current imperial court does not have this energy. There are places where people are needed and there is tension everywhere.

The construction of the Great Wall will also affect farming in border counties, which will trigger a chain reaction.

Besides, Wang Buxu also plans to build the Great Wall to boost GDP.

Two thousand years later, who would dare to arrogantly say that tiling the Great Wall was a big job? Our ancestors were even contracted to repair the Great Wall.

"Your Majesty, it can be done!" Wang Li's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh?" Wang Buxian turned to look at Wang Li. Is that feasible?

"Your Majesty, what the prairie people like to do most is to plunder young men and take them back as slaves. These people are young, have physical strength, can work, and can't be beat. Generally speaking, there are only two types of people to capture them, young men and women, and old people.

All the children will be killed, so I think we can have a hundred thousand troops disguised as corvees to build the Great Wall. If the Huns come, they will fight. If they don't come, they will just build the Great Wall..." Wang Li explained.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as the Huns have enough time, they will definitely come. Once the Great Wall on the eastern front is all repaired, they will completely lose the chance to go south!" Chen Ping had a smile on his face, full of emotions.

Said calmly.

With hundreds of thousands of young men in front of them, would the Huns refuse them?

Absolutely not, these are 100,000 young and strong slaves. As long as the Huns know the news, they will definitely come.

You must know that people are not weapons. Once they are gone, you can quickly build one again.

Even if the city is gone, another one can be built within a few years.

But what about people?

Once the Han Dynasty lost these 100,000 young men, it would take at least twenty years to create another 100,000 young men.

Why did the State of Zhao fail to recover after the Battle of Changping?

Although the resistance is still tenacious, it has not been able to regain its former glory?

The battle damage of 450,000 yuan has completely damaged the vitality of Zhao State.

Although the grassland peoples are regarded as barbaric and uncivilized by them, they still understand some of these principles.

Seemingly seeing that Wang was still hesitant, Chen Ping continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, there are several benefits to doing this. The first one is that the Great Wall can be completed as soon as possible, and the second one is that the imperial court will save a big city."

This third sum of money can attract the Huns here and fight at the place designated by us, so that they cannot go deep into the territory to harass the people!"

"Yeah!" After hearing the last benefit, Wang Buxian suddenly changed his mind.

What is money? Although the imperial court is very poor, it is definitely not short of such a little money.

Therefore, the construction of the Great Wall was not a waste of people and money, but to protect the people from being harassed, and it was also for strategic purposes.

"Then do it!" Wang Buxu agreed directly.

"Your Majesty, actually there is another advantage to building now. We can build directly on the basis of the Qin Dynasty Great Wall. Although all the gaps have not been completed, most of the foundations are almost done." Wang Li said again.

No one knows more about building the Great Wall than him.

If war had not broken out, the Great Wall would have been basically completed in another year or two.

Therefore, even at the gap, the work is now in a state of suspension, not a state of unstarted work.

"Good! Great good!" Hearing that the foundation had been completed, even Xiao He who wanted to object couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then said: "Your Majesty, this way, we can save some effort.

Just dig two trenches on the old foundation and build them up with bricks. Now the most laborious task ahead has been completed!"

After everyone thought about it, it seemed to make sense.

How are rammed earth walls built?

First dig a trench in the ground that is wider than the city wall, then stir-fry the excavated soil, backfill it, and compact it bit by bit.

After that, sprinkle a layer of fried soil with glutinous rice water added, and continue to tamp it down.

Therefore, most of the rammed earth city walls seen in later generations, such as the Great Wall of Qin, are layered layer by layer. This is the trace left by factors such as ramming at different times and different drying times.

Why did the Qin Dynasty's construction of the Great Wall cause so much resentment in people's livelihood? Although it was for national defense, many people still criticized it.

And there was not so much pressure to build the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty?

The reason is that there is no need to pound the bricks when they are piled up. No matter how hard and tiring it is, it is just a matter of transporting the bricks and other materials up.

The Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty had to be rammed layer by layer. Imagine that you are on a 20-meter-high mound, ramming it with ancient equipment, and then compressing it to a height of six or seven meters.

The height is guaranteed to make even you think about rebellion.

Even if it is really impossible to rebel, you will probably choose to bury your head in it and end it on your own.

Those days were really not what people lived.

Therefore, such a folk song was circulated among the people during the Qin Dynasty.

If you give birth to a boy, be careful not to raise it. If you give birth to a girl, you need to feed her. If you don't see it under the Great Wall, the corpses will look like pillars.

The meaning revealed in this ballad is very simple and clear.

If you give birth to a boy, just strangle him to death without raising him. Anyway, when he grows up, he will be dragged to build the Great Wall. Sooner or later, he will die, so why waste food? If you give birth to a girl, use the best food to give her.

Raised.
