Chapter 139: The Huns are coming
Lin Nandao: "The reason why I did not expand the Guards regiments into a division is due to the following reasons:
First of all, there is a shortage of soldiers, we don't have so many people to serve as soldiers, and if all the people come to serve as soldiers, then who will plough the fields? What do we eat and drink?
Secondly, I want to take the route of elite soldiers, especially the Guards, because there are not many soldiers but they are fine, and if there are too many soldiers, we will be financially tight.
In addition, I have also studied the military system of the previous dynasties, and I found that an army of four or five thousand people is the most conducive to command, and one or two thousand people are the most suitable for charging, so I made one thousand people into a battalion, and four battalions and four thousand people into a regiment, so the regiment and battalion structure is actually the basic structure of our army, and this is a framework.
The expansion of the Guards regiments to 5,000 people is not an exaggeration, it is also convenient for command, and at the same time, it is also suitable for the tactics of the sea of people, in the future, the Guards regiments may be expanded, however, the dragoon and wolf cavalry will not be expanded, because the cost of cavalry is too high, and it is not easy to train into an army, so my focus should fall on logistics support and supply. And Xiong Storm and Tiger Ben should be expanded, because the 5,000 infantry is too thin, and in the future, it will be expanded to 10,000 people, so it should be about the same, and the Flying Locust Army, the guard battalion and the special forces are estimated to not move anymore, because the training of the special forces is not easy, and the guard battalion is the same, and my guards must be loyal, this is the first premise. ”
Then, Lin Nan said: "As for the Flying Locust Army, it will not be expanded for the time being, but I have some whimsical ideas about the special forces and the Flying Locust Army, but it is not convenient to tell you now, and you will understand later." ”
Hearing Lin Nan say this, everyone was puzzled, of course, since Lin Nan didn't want to say what he thought in his heart, everyone was helpless, but everyone finally understood the purpose of Lin Nan's reform of the military system and the expansion of the army.
Lin Nan finished speaking. Yu turned over and said: "It turns out that the lord's concern is so far-reaching, and he bows to it." ”
Lin Nandao: "The Han military system is full of loopholes, so it's so. Nan Cai thought of reforming the military system, hoping to establish a steel journey to defend the territory of our Han Dynasty. ”
After listening to Lin Nan's words, everyone got up and saluted and said, "The lord has great ambitions, we will bow down." ”
See all this red tape. Lin Nan was helpless again.
However, Lin Nan was still polite to everyone.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Nan announced the dismissal of the meeting.
In fact, the defeat and death of King Zuo Xian and the annihilation of the entire army of 50,000 Hun iron cavalry were a great blow to the Huns.
Since Emperor Huan, the Han Dynasty has become weaker and weaker, and the country is weak, so the Xiongnu have invaded the south several times. The Eastern Han Dynasty was also powerless to resist, so in a certain way, Bingzhou had become a horse farm for the Huns.
But this time King Zuo Xian released the horse, and actually put 50,000 iron horsemen into it, so the Huns were also shocked by Lin Nan for a while.
The chaotic left part of the Xiongnu finally regained peace and stability with the support of Fuluo under the intervention of the powerful force of Fuluo, the leader of the right part of the Xiongnu. The general of the left of the Xiongnu, Laji, became the new Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and the left and right of the Xiongnu actually had a tendency to merge.
After the autumn, Raj asked Yufuluo for instructions to invade and annex the state. But he was rejected by Yu Fuluo, so Raj gathered several senior generals on the left side of the Xiongnu to find Yu Fuluo for an explanation.
Seeing that all the people came, Yu Fuluo said: "The state is no longer the state of the past, so." We need to think long-term. ”
Raj said: "What is this alone? Isn't it just a loss? Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, how can we win or lose in a battle? Besides, it is said that we lost the last battle because we fell for Lin Nan's conspiracy. ”
Yu Fuluo said: "That's true, if it is a field battle, the Han army is not our opponent at all, but they still have a lot of intrigues. ”
Raj said: "Only stupid people will fall for the scheme, if I take 50,000 iron to ride into the state, I will definitely capture that Lin Nan child." ”
Listening to Raji's words, Yu Fuluo smiled and did not speak.
And a person behind Yu Fuluo said: "I and Shan Yu have been to Jinyang at the beginning of the year, and also met Lin Nan, whose talent is high in the world, deep in the city, and proficient in the art of war, not easy to deal with, as soon as he arrived in Jinyang, he began to repair the city, rectify the military horses, it can be seen that this person's ambition, now, Lin Nan has been the history of the state and garrison Yunzhong, at the same time, the Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang three counties have also strengthened the defense, so, today's state, is no longer the former state. ”
Raj said: "What can he do if he strengthens his defenses, I don't believe that he can stop our iron cavalry." ”
And the man said, "But in the face of the fortified city, we can't do anything." ”
At this time, Raj looked up and saw that the person who spoke was actually Yu Fuluo's love general.
So, Raj said politely: "Then according to General Duozhi's opinion, what should we do?"
"Since Lin Nan has strengthened his vigilance, we have to wait for the opportunity to win by surprise, I don't think Lin Nan will always be so vigilant." ”
After listening to the words, Raj had no choice but to nod helplessly.
Seeing that Raj was still unwilling, Yu Fuluo said: "We must learn the lessons of last year, we must not underestimate the enemy, and send an order to all departments, without my order, no one can act rashly." Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
In desperation, Raj had no choice but to lead his men back to his territory.
And Lin Nan was also very strange, because the Huns had not moved.
After several discussions, everyone did not understand the intentions of the Huns, so Lin Nan had to send orders everywhere to strengthen vigilance, and not to take it lightly at any time.
In this way, another ten days passed, but the strange thing is that the Huns did not come to attack, it seems, on the contrary, they have disappeared.
But Lin Nan knew in his heart that the Huns would never give up the invasion and annex to the state lightly, and the reason why they delayed the move was because they might have bigger plans, and although the wind and waves were calm at this time, in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
After discussing it with Jia Xu and others a few times, everyone still thinks that sticking to it is the best, because Bingzhou does not have the capital to take the initiative.
Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to train and repair the city every day.
Finally, the Huns did not disappoint Lin Nan, and finally began to invade the state after a few more days, but the first place to be invaded by the Huns was not the four border counties, but Yanmen.
After receiving an urgent report of the military situation in Yanmen, Lin Nan hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"The Huns arrived at Yanmen, which was really unexpected by us, but as expected, there must not be many Huns attacking Yanmen, so the Huns should have other intentions." ”
After the frustration was finished, Yu Fu also said: "What the frustrated military division said is very true, the Huns will not be so stupid, so the real purpose of the Huns should still be the four counties in the border areas. ”
After listening to the analysis of the two, Lin Nan nodded and said: "The two of you are reasonable, however, Yanmen only has 3,000 soldiers defending the city, and there are no generals, and Gu Yuanxi is a civil official, so although there should not be many Hun soldiers, I am still a little worried about the shape of Yanmen." ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Yanmen must not be saved, but the lord can't go out lightly, if the lord moves, the three counties of Xiangxiang will be in danger, so, the shape in front of us, we should try our best to understand the enemy situation, figure out how many Huns are attacking Yanmen, and at the same time, let General Guan Hai go to reinforce Yanmen, and the five counties of Jinyang should also strengthen their vigilance." ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Liu Ye also said: "The four counties in the border area are arranged in a fan shape, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Dingxiang three counties are in front of the front, and the clouds will respond later, so as long as there is a lord sitting in the clouds, the four counties in the border area will be fine, and the four counties in the border area are the gateway to enter the state, the four counties are not in danger, and the state can be safe, but now the Huns have driven straight into the Yanmen and invaded Yanmen, so it can be seen that Youzhou is no longer safe. Therefore, we must strengthen the defense of the five counties of Jinyang, and we must not trust our neighbors too much. ”
Lin Nandao: "I'm also strange, I can't imagine that the Huns can bypass the four border counties and go straight to Yanmen, it's really strange." ”
Immediately, Lin Nan said again: "Then according to Wenhe's words, see what the Huns want." ”
After saying that, Lin Nan summoned two heralds and ordered them to do so.
A day later, a herald returned to Yunzhong and reported to Lin Nanyu: "There are not many Huns besieging Yanmen, only 5,000 people, and Gu Taishou said: 'As long as the Huns do not increase their troops, he will definitely be able to hold Yanmen.'" ’”
Knowing the shape of Yanmen, Lin Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Huns really have another purpose.
Two days later, another herald also returned, reporting to Lin Nanyu: "General Guan Hai has set out from Jinyang to reinforce Yanmen, and Lord Xun and Lord Xun have already strengthened their vigilance. ”
After listening to the herald's report, Lin Nan nodded, Xun Yu and the trial match really lived up to their high expectations.
However, Dingxiang's military situation made Lin Nan and others anxious again.
As soon as the herald retreated, Dingxiang's side newspaper flew to Lin Nan's case.
When I opened the side newspaper, I saw that there were only fifteen words on it: "100,000 Hun soldiers committed Dingxiang, and Dingxiang guarded Zhang Liao's handwriting." ”
After reading these fifteen words, Lin Nan's face changed greatly, and at the same time, he also secretly admired Zhang Liao's perseverance: "100,000 Hun soldiers, you don't ask for help?"
Seeing that Lin Nan's face was ugly, Yu Flip hurriedly took the side newspaper from Lin Nan's hand, and after reading it, Yu Flip's face also changed.
After everyone circulated the side newspaper, the advisers began to ponder, and a group of generals asked for battle.
Stopping Zhao Yun and the others' calls for battle, Lin Nan said: "Dingxiang is to be saved, the key is who to save and how to save it, it is 100,000 Hun iron horses." ”
When everyone heard this, their faces also showed solemn looks. (To be continued.) )
