Chapter 160: Sending troops to the grassland
After leaving, seeing his father's gloomy expression, Cai Yan said goodbye to his father and went straight back to his boudoir.
Sitting at the head of the bed, Cai Yan suddenly felt a wave of turmoil in his heart, perhaps, because of the four words he said.
Mother of the world, do you want to marry into the royal family?
But now, he has made a marriage with Brother Ziyang, so what should he do in the future?
In the confusion, Cai Yan had no choice but to use the piano to express his feelings.
Hearing his daughter's piano, Cai Yong was also upset.
Guan Zhi's words couldn't be clearer, his daughter will definitely marry into the royal family, but, in this case, what should Lin Ziyang do?
With Lin Ziyang's temper, and looking at Lin Ziyang's current strength, if you don't get it, the world will be in chaos.
In desperation, Cai Yong had no choice but to practice Xiaokai and talk about it.
That's the end of it.
And a few days later, Lin Nan actually sent fifty family members to Cai Yong.
As soon as he saw these fifty well-trained warriors, Cai Yong understood Lin Nan's intentions. So, Cai Yong wrote a letter to Lin Nan, explaining that he was fine in Luoyang, and asked Lin Nan to transfer these fifty soldiers back.
But Lin Nan didn't pay attention to Cai Yong's request at all, but he also pushed and shoved. And Lin Nan didn't give an order, so the fifty soldiers didn't leave Cai's mansion, and Cai Yong had no choice but to place these fifty soldiers in the mansion.
Of course, these fifty soldiers did not come empty-handed, but brought Cai Yan a letter from Lin Nan.
It is said to be an epistle, but in fact it is another poem, because the letter reads:
The grass grows and the warbler flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been two years since leaving Luoyang. April is coming again, and it is very Huai Yan'er, and it occasionally becomes a small poem. My name is called "Sifu", and I will send it to Yan'er today to talk about my heart.
There are stars in the sky. The stars have light;
There is water in the pool, the moon in the water, the moon hangs in the willows, and people meet.
Yongluo water. The water flows for a long time, sighing for life, and suffering a lot.
The sky is affectionate, the sky is easy to grow old, people are affectionate, empty hatred.
Relying on the sun and the moon, learning from my heart, thousands of miles away. Tears ripple ......
After reading this fu, Cai Yan couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and his heart was hot, so he wrote the famous article "Wanghe".
And when Cai Yan's "Wanghe" arrived in Jinyang, Lin Nan's people were already in the clouds.
The front foot of the Guards was pulled into the clouds, and Lin Nan's back feet were also in the clouds. Of course, he was accompanied by Jia Xu and other staff officers of the first army division. Cui Yan, Tian Chou and others stayed in Jinyang to reform the prisoners and deal with daily military affairs.
After a day of repairing in the clouds, Lin Nan called a meeting of the generals.
Seeing the crowd, the general looked dazed. Lin Nan said, "Do you know the purpose of me letting you come to the clouds?"
The generals shook their heads, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Seeing this scene, Lin Nan sighed and said: "Be prepared for danger in peace, and be active when you are passive, do you still want to resist the invasion of the Huns after the autumn?"
Everyone thought about it, and seemed to understand a little, but some didn't.
So, Tai Shici said: "Big brother, after the last year's battle." The Huns no longer had the strength to invade south. ”
Lin Nan smiled: "What about after that?"
As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Tai Shici scratched his head helplessly and sat back. And the generals in the camp also seemed to understand Lin Nan's intentions.
"Letting the tiger go back to the mountain will eventually be a disaster. Fight the snake and don't die with the stick! One day the tiger will suffer for several lifetimes. Do you like to fight tigers so much?" Lin Nan's words were loud.
"Now, the spring ploughing has passed, and there is no major event in the state, and after our last year's battle. The strength of the Huns is not as strong as before, so now is a good time for us to send troops to the steppe. ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, all the generals arrived and were shocked, because the Han army seemed to have not been to the grassland for many years.
Seeing that the generals were still puzzled, Lin Nan said: "The way to use troops lies in taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared. Now, God has given us such a good opportunity, how can we waste it? Could it be that you are afraid of the Huns?"
As soon as they heard Lin Nan say this, all the generals suddenly got up and shouted together: "I am willing to listen to the orders of the lord and go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up!"
"Okay!" Seeing that the morale of the generals was high, Lin Nan praised.
"Xu Gongming, Gao Fangzheng, and Zhang Wenyuan have already sent troops from the three counties to loot the grassland. Our mission is to pick them up and carry out a frenzied ransack of the grasslands. Lin Nan got up and said.
Then, Lin Nan said: "If there is no accident in the various departments, they can send troops tomorrow, Zhao Yuntai Shici is the front, Zhang He is the left wing, Zhang Fei is the right wing, after the ban, the departments do not need to bring a lot of grain and grass, only bring some dry food and water, and we can directly find the Huns if they are supplied." ”
Immediately, Lin Nan said in a loud voice: "You must remember: Our tactics in this battle are to feed the war with war, and use the livestock of the Huns as our supplies; our war is to make the Huns submit, make the Huns cold, make the Huns unable to sleep when they think of this battle, and let the Huns also taste the taste of being plundered!"
"No!" Lin Nan finished speaking, and with a wave of his right arm, all the generals responded in unison.
"You have to be careful: the ministries must keep in close contact, report their exact location, and contact me at least once a day. At the same time, keep your own combat maps, without the map, you can't go back to the state. ”
Immediately, Lin Nan turned his head to Jia Xu and the others and said, "I don't know what you think?"
"The Huns live in pursuit of water and grass, and we can walk along the river, and I believe that we will definitely find the royal court." ”
After a pause, he said in frustration: "The lord's method of raising war with war, I agree with it, but the lord doesn't have to kill too much, if some small Xiongnu tribes are willing to submit to us, we can completely transform and fuse them, there is no need to exterminate them." ”
After listening to the frustrated words, Lin Nan nodded and said: "What Zizheng said is very true, those who are willing to submit, we will naturally not be embarrassed for them, and those who resist to the end, we must also give color." ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, Jia Xu said again: "It's spring now, and the Huns would never have thought that we would send troops, so their tribes must be very scattered." Therefore, our troops should not be too integrated, but should also be dispersed, as long as we can maintain contact at all times. Moreover, for the Huns who stubbornly resist to the end, we must kill them all and leave no trouble. And for those Huns who are willing to submit, we must also take strict care, otherwise, once the news leaks, I am afraid we will not be able to return to the state. ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, a trace of coolness appeared in everyone's hearts, and they couldn't imagine that this Jia Junshi was also a ruthless character.
Lin Nan nodded and praised: "What Wen He said is very true, the purpose of our war is to plunder and fight the Huns, weaken the strength of the Huns, and prepare for the complete subjugation of them. ”
The discussion was decided, and the next day, the Han army marched towards the grassland.
And by the time Cai Yan's "Wanghe" arrived in the clouds, Lin Nan and others had already begun to loot on the grassland. (To be continued.) )
