Cao Heng predicted that Liu Meng did not want to fight the final battle, and Jiang Wei and Lu Xun also had some different views on the previous deployments.

Lu Xun said to Cao Heng: "Prince, if Liu Meng had no plans to fight our army, the first thing we had to solve was not how to defeat him, but how to deploy artillery so that the cannon could play a key role."

"What Bo Yan said is what I am considering." Cao Heng said to the two of them: "I am writing a letter to my father. I planned to finish writing the letter and think carefully about how to deploy the cannons, and you two are here. Since you two are here, just think about it with me."

"Dare you dare to ask the prince, have you ever thought of a way to use it?" Jiang Wei asked Cao Heng.

"Of course there are methods that can be used." Cao Heng said: "What I am thinking is that the Huns chose open places to fight our army, and they wanted to use dragging methods to drag our army to death there. We cannot let them succeed easily, and we must build a fort that the Huns could not easily attack."

"Build a fort?" Jiang Wei asked in surprise: "I wonder how the prince plans to build it?"

"The turret is simple," Cao Heng said: "As long as we ask the soldiers to pile up the pile of earth, after the artillery goes up, we cut the surroundings of the pile into straight. If the Huns want to attack, they must get off their horses. When they climb up, our soldiers can suddenly come out from behind. As long as we can control the entire rhythm, the artillery can be used on the battlefield, and the soldiers can also kill them happily."

Jiang Wei and Lu Xun looked at each other again, and the two who had already understood Cao Heng's intentions were still somewhat suspicious about this tactic.

Jiang Wei said: "The method the prince said can indeed prevent the Huns from attacking artillery, but we have to send more people to build mounds. In this way, the troops that can resist the Huns are insufficient..."

"Of course, the soldiers cannot build the earth mound." Cao Heng said: "Since we have left the customs, we must find these people who are willing to build the earth mound for our army from outside the customs."

"Although all parts of the Yunzhong once fell into the hands of our army, the people in the Central Plains there had been killed by the Jie people, and the Jie people had been slaughtered by the prince's army. Now Yunzhong is just a dead place." Jiang Wei frowned and said, "It's a dead place. It's probably not that easy to find someone who can help our army build the earth slope."

"You two only know how to recruit civilians. Do you know that your father has a team called Jiuziying?" Cao Heng suddenly asked someone.

When he mentioned the Daozi Camp, Jiang Wei and Lu Xun were stunned.

Jiang Wei asked, "I wonder if the prince was the one who belonged to the Yuan family in Hebei back then and later became the one whom he had taken over to?"

"That's right." Cao Heng nodded with a smile and said, "Li Zhi, the commander of the Dazi Camp, is now fifty years old. But when it comes to digging tunnels and building mounds, there is probably no other person in the entire Wei Dynasty except him."

"We have heard of what the prince said," Jiang Wei replied: "But the Niaozi Camp has always been by His Majesty. It is said that there are many things that they need to do recently..."

"No matter how many things happen, it is not important to defeat the Huns." Cao Heng said: "I mentioned this to my father when I went to war, and my father also promised to lend me the Daozi Camp. The Daozi Camp was indeed with my father, but now they have arrived in Bingzhou and should be able to leave the customs within two days."

"Since the prince invited the Zaozi Camp, why should we lead the troops to the clouds first?" Lu Xun asked in confusion: "When the Zaozi Camp arrives, wouldn't it be better for us to send troops again?"

"When the Daozi camp arrived, I was worried that I would no longer have the chance to send troops." Cao Heng said: "Liu Meng cut off the ears of the messenger sent by Hu Chuquan. Hu Chuquan must hate him to the core. He also knew that if he did not send troops to attack us, he would probably lose the opportunity to occupy the favorable terrain and block our army. Liu Meng would definitely send troops. I chose to go to war at this time, but I just wanted to occupy the favorable terrain before him."

"The prince must take up the open space first?" Jiang Wei felt a little puzzled about Cao Heng's statement: "Although our army is all cavalry, there is no dig-zi camp. When it comes to an open land, the legal fort cannot be built. Protecting the artillery is a problem."

"How could I choose an open place to stay?" Cao Heng said: "What I want to choose is actually walking forward for a few more hours of the mountain. When we get there, we will first settle the artillery and wait for the Jiuzi camp on the spot."

"The prince's strategy is long-term, and we are convinced." Jiang Wei and Lu Xun stood up and bowed to Cao Heng: "But there is an order, we will do our best."

"I have instructions, of course you two have to do your best." Cao Heng smiled slightly and said to the two of them: "It's not too early, and I have to finish writing a letter to my father, so I won't talk to you two anymore. You two will go back and rest early. Although there is not much road trip tomorrow, the responsibility of settling down the army is not light."

"I dare not delay the prince." The two responded: "We will take our leave first."

When the two left, Cao Heng continued to write the letter to Cao Shu.

Let’s not talk about what Cao Heng wrote in the letter, but only talk about Cao Yi. After leaving his tent, he immediately went to Huchuquan, who had gone back first.

Hu Chuquan did not return to the tent.

He first sent the messenger whose ears were cut off to leave, and he took several followers to wait there.

Seeing Cao Yi coming, Hu Chuquan greeted him with a smile: "The Second Prince is here."

"Did the Great Chanyu have been waiting here?" Seeing Huchuquan, Cao Yi's tone was not very good: "I handed over the soldiers to the Great Chanyu, and I hope they won't lose too much. The soldiers followed me to make achievements, not to die."

I heard the unhappy meaning from Cao Yi's words, and Hu Chuquan said with a smile on his face, "What the second prince said? As long as I follow the prince's order, the soldiers should not be inappropriate. Please rest assured."

"Da Shanyu used the emperor to suppress me?" Cao Yi smiled, but his tone was still not very good. He asked Hu Chuquan.

"I dare not, I dare not!" Hu Chuquan said hurriedly: "How dare I use the prince to suppress the second prince."

"To be honest, I was reluctant to hand over the soldiers to the Great Shanyu. The emperor saw that, so I just left me and scolded me, saying that I had no view of the overall situation." Cao Yi said: "If I had no view of the overall situation, I would never agree to hand over the soldiers to you. Since I gave it to you, you have to take good care of it. When you defeat Liu Meng, you will return them to me."

"Don't worry, the second prince." Hu Chuquan replied: "I will take the soldiers to fight. When I return it, I will definitely lose more than other generals."

"There were not many people at first. If they were to lose the same number as the soldiers under other generals, what would it be?" Cao Heng said: "If the other generals had lost 10,000 troops and lost 100, all I could tolerate was to lose twenty people. Please ask the Great Shanyu to understand."

"I understand, I understand!" Hu Chuquan responded, but he felt humiliation deep in his heart.

In the Huns, he was a great Chanyu. Anyone who dared to say a tough word to him might cause death.

Now, it’s better that for so many years in the Great Wei Dynasty, the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty has never been seen by him.

It would be fine if the prince ordered him to be ruthless, but even the second prince treated him like this, which made him feel mixed feelings and very uncomfortable.

But he is the one who wants to take over the troops and horses from Cao Yi to attack Liu Meng.

Compared to Liu Meng cutting the envoy he sent, it was nothing if Cao Yi spoke to him harder.

"Since the Great Shanyu agreed, let's go and meet the soldiers with me." Cao Yi greeted Hu Chuquan and walked towards the place where his soldiers gathered.

Cao Yi came with Hu Chuquan, and the lieutenant on the night quickly summoned all the soldiers.

Some soldiers have already fallen asleep and are awakened from their sleep, and they feel unhappy.

No matter how unhappy they were, they were elites of the Great Wei Dynasty after all, and even with emotions, they quickly arranged their formations.

When he came to the soldiers, Cao Yi walked back and forth twice with his hands.

After stopping, he said to the soldiers: "I disturbed you all at midnight, but I actually didn't want to. It was just that the prince gave me the power of the military power to the Great Khan of the Huns, and I had no choice but to let you gather here."

When he heard that Cao Yi wanted to hand over the military power to the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, the soldiers looked at each other, and they were all a little confused.

"I dare to ask the second prince, is it because we did something wrong?" The lieutenant asked the soldiers about the doubts: "It's so good, why do you have to hand over the military power?"

"When it comes to this matter, I have to tell you another thing." Cao Yi looked at Hu Chuquan: "This matter is related to whether the soldiers can be united with the Great Chanyu. Is it for me or the Great Chanyu?"

"Just say it." Knowing what Cao Yi was going to say, Hu Chuquan replied: "I'm just listening."

"Since the Great Shanyu allowed me to say, I will tell you." Cao Yi raised his voice and shouted to the soldiers: "Liu Meng, the left wise king of the Xiongnu, occupied Yunzhong County. The Great Shanyu was also kind-hearted. He originally planned to send someone to persuade the Xiongnu to retreat, but he did not expect that Liu Meng was a spoiled who could not advance. Not only did he not agree to withdraw, he also cut off the envoy sent by the Great Shanyu and drove him back. He really slapped Da Shanya in the face.!"

When Cao Yi said this, Hu Chuquan's face looked extremely ugly.

But this is indeed the case. Although he felt that he couldn't bear to worry about his face, he didn't have to say much.

After looking at him again, Cao Yi continued to say to the soldiers: "The prince asked me to hand over the military power to the Great Shanyu for the time being, and I also wanted you to follow him to defeat Liu Meng and make meritorious contributions for the Great Wei. Since you are all working for the Great Wei, who will be your chief general should not be that important."

"When will the second prince take over us?" someone in the array asked.

The soldiers present were all from Central Plains. Although Cao Yi had no experience in leading troops to fight, he was the second prince of the Great Wei Dynasty after all.

As the former Great Khan of the Huns, Huchuquan knew some principles of leading troops, but he was just a foreign race after all.

The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty have always been proud. They were suddenly handed over to the Xiongnu's subordinates. Many people felt that they could not accept it. Of course, someone would ask when Cao Yi would take over them.

Cao Yi replied: "In fact, it won't take long. The deadline given by the prince is to defeat Liu Meng. As long as you capture Liu Meng, it will be time for me to take over."

The soldiers present didn't say anything and were silent one by one.

They knew very well what Cao Yi said. If the attack on Liu Meng was not very smooth, the life of returning to Cao Yi's command would be far away.

The soldiers were indeed very repulsive of Huchuquan taking over military power.

But the order was issued by the prince, and even if they rejected it, there was no way to change it.

"Don't think too much." From the faces of the soldiers in the front row, Cao Yi continued to shout: "The prince wants me to bring you a word to fight with the Great Shanyu. As long as you make merits on the battlefield, the reward will be more rewarded than other generals."

"It doesn't matter if you are rewarded or not," a soldier in the array said, "We just don't want to be a soldier under the command of the alien race..."

"Nonsense!" Knowing that this statement was the thought of every Wei army soldier present, Cao Yi glared at them and shouted to them: "Today I am still talking about it here. You people live as soldiers of the Great Wei, and die as ghosts of the Great Wei! No matter when, you are all warriors of the Great Wei. No matter who is in the army, you are all expanding territory and pacifying the world for the Great Wei!"

"Abide by the Crown Prince's military order!" It was clear that things could not be saved, so the captain who led the troops bowed to Cao Yi.

The captain received the military order, and the soldiers shouted: "Abide by the Crown Prince's military order and obey the second prince's arrangement!"

When Cao Yi was speaking to the soldiers, Hu Chuquan, who was standing next to him, felt uncomfortable all over.

The soldiers of the Great Wei never had any respect for him just because he was the Great Khan of the Xiongnu.

Many people even think that he was just a prisoner brought back from the Huns by Cao Shu. Faced with a captive, the soldiers who were roaming on the battlefield, of course they could not mention the word "respect".

It was clear that the soldiers had no sense of belonging to him, Hu Chuquan stepped forward and said, "I beg the soldiers to make contributions to the Great Wei Dynasty in this battle and kill Liu Meng. In addition to the reward from the prince, I will also give him a daughter under my knees."

After all, Huchuquan was once the Great Khan of the Huns, and the Huns were not without beauty. Of course, his daughter would not be much ugly.

When he heard that he wanted to betroth a daughter, some soldiers were eager to try and began to look forward to capturing and killing Liu Meng.

However, more soldiers were not moved at all because Hu Chuquan promised this condition.

Their women are indispensable when they follow the eldest son to go to war.

They fought to prove that the Great Wei was the most powerful country in the world, and to make the people of the Central Plains live a more stable life in the future.
