I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 219 [5 More] 219

Liu Tan looked at Li Buyan in disbelief and said, "Go with you on my own initiative? Don't they just play fairy dance?"

Li Buyan looked blank: "Ah? What fairy dance?"

Liu Tan coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you are not being deceived, are you?"

Li Buyan smiled immediately: "Then how can it be? We confiscated their weapons immediately, and even confiscated anything that might be a weapon."

Li Buyan clicked his tongue and said: "This tribe is really poor, they don't even have any decent weapons, and many people are holding wooden sticks in their hands."

Liu Tan was not surprised. If it weren't for the lack of money, people and weapons, how could he be pushed here because of his lack of strength?

But even so, Liu Tan couldn't understand why these people took the initiative to follow Li Buyi.

He sat there and asked, "What did they... say? Didn't you ask?"

Li Buyan scratched his head: "I asked, but... I don't understand."

Liu Tan almost didn't come up in one breath: "What?"

Li Buyan whispered, "We forgot to bring a guide."

Generally, the guides can speak the Hun language, so there was basically no such oolong in the previous expeditions, but this time they did not bring it.

Liu Tan was startled: "Are you crazy? You dare not even bring your guide? Are you afraid you won't be able to come back?"

Li Buyan said honestly: "Isn't there a new map made by His Highness?"

Liu Tan stared: "The new map can't accurately identify the direction on the grassland."

Li Buyan said: "Yes, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, as long as we can confirm the direction, we can come back."

Liu Tan paused, thinking about it, it seems to be the same. If you can read a map, you just need to identify the position of the sun and arrange the new map according to the position. Can come back from Dunhuang.

Even if they go to the Western Regions, they don't have to be afraid. Now the Little Wusun led by Lu Xuan seems to be the king of the Western Regions. If they really go to the Western Regions, it will be safer to meet the Little Wusun.

Liu Tan said a little tiredly: "Okay, let's not talk about the guide or not, let's invite the Prime Minister first."

When it came to the latter part, Liu Tan was a little guilty. Before he asked Li Buyan and Wei Buyi to go out, the main reason was to find something for them to do.

Think of it as training and training them to be familiar with the grassland environment. Anyway, they will go to the grassland sooner or later. It is better to be familiar now than to explore a little bit by then.

In the end, he didn't expect that people would be brought here within a few days. He didn't know if Huo Guang would be angry after hearing the news.

Thinking that Huo Guang is so busy that he has less time to sleep every day, and now he has to increase the workload for Huo Guang, for a while, Liu Tan can't wait to solve the problem by himself.

But no, it is impossible for these Huns to get him there. Among other things, his place is full of important minerals, especially coal and copper. It is very dangerous if a place is accidentally determined by the Huns matter.

So the only thing these Huns can do is to build a city, or go to the blacksmith to help them. They will not be allowed to do jobs that really require skills, and at most they will do some repetitive labor.

When Huo Guang was called over, he first ran through the recent events in his mind.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he recalled the recent news from the palace, but he didn't hear what Liu Tan was up to.

But the more this happened, the more worried he was. Huo Guang was already very experienced in being called over without any accident, which meant that something happened out of his control.

Huo Guang took a deep breath as he walked there, and repeatedly told himself to be calm. His Royal Highness has been living in the palace as an otaku recently, and there should be little chance to do anything.

However, when he got to the main hall, he realized that he was still too naive. Now where does Liu Tan need to go out to do things by himself, he can completely direct others to do things!

When he saw Liu Tan said with a guilty expression: "There are some things to tell the Prime Minister." Huo Guang's expression was still calm.

He said calmly, "If you have anything to say, Your Highness."

Anyway, he was used to it, but when he heard Liu Tan say: "A few days ago, I asked Li Buyan and Wei Buyi to lead troops to patrol near Shuofang City, so as not to be trapped by the surrendered city again. The Xiongnu didn't even know when they came here .”

Huo Guang nodded, this is not a problem, so he asked: "And then?"

Liu Tan whispered, "Then they ran into a tribe of the Huns and brought them back by accident."

Huo Guang's eyes went dark for a moment, and he pointed at Liu Tan without regard to etiquette and was speechless for a long time.

Careless?How can you be careless? Is this something that can be done accidentally?A whole tribe has been brought back, promising, you guys!

Liu Tan immediately jumped up in fright, he really jumped up - he was afraid that he would piss off Huo Guang to death, then he is really a sinner through the ages!

Liu Tan hurriedly rushed over while stroking his chest and said, "Minister of the State, calm down, they finished very neatly, and the Huns will know soon."

Huo Guang was even angrier when he heard this, he reacted so quickly, it seemed organized and premeditated, it was not a chance encounter at all!

Huo Guang patted the table bitterly and said, "What is your Highness going to do again!"

Didn't you agree not to go into conflict with the Huns for the time being?We can’t fight now. If we fight, let’s not talk about building a city. What about spring plowing? !

Nomads can do as long as they have aquatic plants, they are not!

Liu Tan whispered, "Just... the captives, don't they just happen to be used to build the city? 500 people are not too many, and not too few. It can always relieve some pain."

Huo Guang's IQ can basically connect all the events in an instant. He immediately knew that they were really short of people, and it was difficult for the people to put down spring plowing to work now, but building a city is also very important, so he used his brain To the head of the Huns.

I have to say that this is indeed a good way to solve the problem, and there is no need to worry about dissatisfaction caused by excessive corvee collection, or being targeted by some people in the court for trouble.

Isn't that what captives do?

Huo Guang took a deep breath and said, "This matter is one thing and two things are not three! The Xiongnu Royal Court is not a fool!"

A tribe of nearly [-] people said it would be gone, and people didn't care at first, but if two more Xiongnu Shanyu came, they would definitely go crazy.

You must know that Shan Yu is really a lunatic!

Liu Tan was very guilty. He originally wanted to get more, but now it seemed that he couldn't do it, so he could only respond: "Okay, I will let them withdraw, these prisoners..."

Huo Guang said helplessly, "I'll ask someone to arrange it, but are you sure there is no problem?"

Li Buyan said: "They cooperated very well, so...followed directly."

Huo Guang frowned after hearing this: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the Xiongnu."

Liu Tan's eyes lit up: "I think so too, then we..."

"We don't do anything!" Huo Guang said with a straight face: "The main thing now is to build the city and spring plowing. If you really have nothing to do, Your Highness, go and play with Gungun!"

Liu Tan: ...

After Huo Guang finished speaking, he got up and left in a huff. While walking, he made another note to Lu Xuan in his heart—although he didn't know what Lu Xuan wrote, but Liu Tan had a whim after reading Lu Xuan's letter. Otherwise, why didn't you think of taking prisoners before?

After Huo Guang left, Li Buyan said lazily, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Liu Tan pondered: "The Xiongnu can't do it. I remember there are quite a few small countries in the Western Regions, right? Go back and ask the governor of Dunhuang who has invaded the Yumen recently and shut it down."
