Chapter 414: The Xiongnu are about to rise
Did Guan Ying and Han Shin participate in the battle?
This question can be seen from this war report.
First, the Huns went south, and if Han Xin and Guan Ying participated in the battle, the Huns should not have much energy to go south.
Is the 100,000 Han cavalry a tofu scum project?
Of course not, let's just say that the equipment can crush the Huns.
Moreover, there was a battle at the end of last autumn, which also proved that this unit was combat-effective.
Second, Wang Li did not mention any of the Han army's standard equipment in the Xiongnu army in this urgent report.
It's all at war, and it's impossible to see it clearly.
And how advanced the equipment of the Han army is, needless to say, everyone knows.
If Han Xin participated in the war and was defeated, would the Huns be fools?
Leave the more advanced equipment and continue to use their old equipment?
Based on these two points, Wang is not hungry and is sure that at least when Wang Li sent out this war report, Guan Ying and Han Xin still did not participate in the war, or Wang Li had not received any news.
"Your Majesty is worried that the Huns are attacking the west?" Chen Ping frowned tightly, trying to recall the contents of the battle report.
"Well, it's not impossible!" Wang Buyu nodded directly in confirmation.
At this time, Chen Ping's brows furrowed even tighter, and it basically became a line.
"Then this situation is a little difficult to handle now......" Chen Pingping said solemnly.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there seemed to be such a possibility, and then said: "The Huns first attacked with all their might, and then retreated in time after finding that the attack was frustrated, changed their tactics, continued to be frustrated, and continued to retreat, according to General Wang, the speed of the Huns' retreat was not fast, and it seemed that there was an idea of luring the enemy, so he did not attack, which shows that the other party's generals are not reckless and understand some strategies." Seeing that Yuyang is unattackable, perhaps he will really shift his target to other places. ”
"And Guan Shangshu and General Han on the other side of Yunzhong County also led the army to the battle, if the Huns knew the news, they would inevitably think that Yunzhong County was empty."
"If the two generals don't find the main force of the Huns, then it is really possible for them to move to the west......"
Speaking of this, Chen Ping suddenly looked up at Wang Buxing, and said with a shocked face: "Your Majesty, you have already arrived?" ”
"What's the count?" Wang Bu was stunned, but the expression on his face remained the same.
"Your Majesty, you must have calculated that the Huns might attack the west, otherwise, why would you leave more than 30,000 troops in Yunzhong County? And why did General Zhang go to the border with the forbidden army? And send the young and strong defenders of the country to the border? ”
"The Huns thought that if the two generals attacked, there would inevitably be a shortage of troops in the western part of the Han Dynasty, but they didn't know that at this time, there were more than 100,000 troops stationed in the western part of the Han Dynasty!"
Chen Ping's face was full of admiration at the moment, the kind that couldn't be stopped.
Nothing to say.
Just ask who else in this world can think of these things in advance?
And also did the deployment?
There are more than 30,000 cavalry, although there are no generals of the level of Guan Ying and Han Xin.
But after all, they are soldiers trained by Han Xin, and their equipment and everything are the same, and their combat effectiveness is still no problem.
Not to mention the forbidden army that Zhang Buyi carried, there are more than 40,000 people.
The battle was only stronger than the cavalry trained by Han Xin, not weaker.
Plus tens of thousands of city defense troops garrisoned the border.
Basically, it can be determined that as long as the Huns dare to come, with the cooperation of more than 40,000 forbidden troops and more than 30,000 cavalry, these 80,000 or so troops can fight the Huns without returning.
Besides, the people of the Yue Clan are also here, will they sit idly by?
Not to mention anything else, the Han army fought with the main force of the Huns, and let the Yueshi people go crazy to steal their homes, and the Huns would not be able to bear it.
Wang Bu was hungry and slightly embarrassed in his heart.
The conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn't think about these things at the beginning.
Let Zhang Buyi take the forbidden army to the west, that is to prevent the Yue people from suddenly changing their hexagrams.
After all, there was unguarded fertile land in front of him, and Wang Bu was hungry and really didn't dare to guarantee that the Yue people would not come up and take a bite.
As for cooperation, friendship, in the face of absolute interests, what are these things?
As everyone knows, Wang Buxing forcibly asked the Yue's people to provide leather clothes to the Han army, and the Yue's people were unhappy with the Han people, which was for sure.
As for why only 100,000 people were brought and more than 30,000 people were left.
This is purely because they are worried that these two people will finish playing these old bottoms and leave some people to use as seeds.
Another reason, of course, is to use history as a mirror.
Of course, Wang Buxing knew that the first few expeditions during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were not too many.
The first time there were only 40,000 people, and the most time was only 300,000 cavalry, and that was the final decisive battle.
At that time, basically both the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty were the strongest times in history.
Well, this refers to the history of the past, and the days to come are not counted.
In addition, Wang Buxing just hopes to use this method to awaken the fighting spirit of the Han people and let them know that the world is not peaceful.
The strategy was successful.
However, Wang Buyu would never have thought that this trick would even bring sequelae......
No, it should be buy one get one free.
"Yes, I have thought of it a long time ago, otherwise why would I not listen to your dissuasion and insist on sending Buyi to the border?" Wang Bu was not hungry and naturally accepted this compliment.
Although it's a buy-one-get-one-free, it's also your own deployment arrangement, isn't it?
Therefore, this credit should be counted on one's own head.
Not only does it have to be calculated, but it also has to be the kind that has been calculated long ago, if everyone knows that this is a complete surprise, do you want to have the face of the emperor?
"No, Your Majesty......" Xiao He suddenly slapped his head.
"What's wrong?" Wang Bu asked if he was not hungry.
"The northern border is so long, and there are more than that section of the Great Wall that has not been repaired, so the Huns can choose a place to go south at will, such as Daijun? Yanmen County? Well, Chen still thinks that Daijun is more dangerous, because there is a certain distance from Yunzhong County and Yuyang County! Xiao He said.
It is not for nothing that Daigun is dangerous.
There are also many mountains in the north, and the construction of the Great Wall is a bit difficult, so the progress has not been fast.
Later, the work was stopped, so if the Huns caught the locals, they could go south through many roads.
Dai County is separated from Yunzhong County by Yanmen County, and Yuyang County is separated by Shanggu County.
He was located right in the center, which was the place where the Han army was currently most vacant, and it also happened to be the place where the fortified wall was not cleared.
If the Xiongnu choose to go south here, it will be really difficult for the Han army to block them.
"No, they will definitely choose Yunzhong County!" Wang Buyu smiled slightly.
"Huh?" Xiao He was stunned, and looked at Wang Bu Hungry in bewilderment.
"Xiao Shizhong's consideration is not unreasonable, but compared to Daijun, it is more beneficial to the Xiongnu to choose Yunzhong County!" Chen Ping also explained with a slight smile.
Xiao He frowned again.
His main business is internal affairs, and this aspect of foreign wars is indeed his weakness.
Chen Ping also understood this, so he said directly: "The two generals Guan and Han led the main force in the grassland, and the order that His Majesty gave them before was to march east along the line of the Great Wall. The main force of the weak Xiongnu went south through Daijun, and with the reconnaissance ability of the scouts, they could reconnoiter these. ”
"The process of the nomadic march is actually fixed, and it is not without a trace when fighting, as long as you find them, it is not difficult to catch up with them, it is easy to get lost on the grassland, can you still get lost when you return home? Therefore, if the Huns chose Daijun, they might be quickly caught up by the two generals Guan and Han from behind, and the first to be unlucky was naturally their logistics. ”
"And the choice of Yunzhong County is different, if the Huns go around to the north and go south, the two generals Guan and Han want to find them in time, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."
"And the main forces of Yunzhong County have gone out, even if the Huns are not good at attacking the city and cannot break through the defense of the Great Wall, but in this vicinity, aren't there still Yue's people?"
"With the wisdom shown by the Huns in this war, they should be able to see the existence of the Yueshi people, and the threat to them is far greater than before."
"Therefore, the Huns definitely don't want the Yueshi people to continue to provide war horses for the Han Dynasty, and take advantage of the vacancy in the western part of the Han Dynasty to directly take down the Yueshi and make it impossible for them to provide war horses for the Han Dynasty, isn't this equivalent to fighting for their own development opportunities for years, or even decades?"
"And once this war falls into a protracted war, the consumption of the Han is also huge, after all, the long border defense line, we have to send troops to garrison, and they don't need to, at any time, even a sudden thought, you can raise troops to the south, this kind of idea full of uncertain factors, if the Han wants to prevent it, either to build the Great Wall as soon as possible, or to continue to increase the border."
After listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Xiao He nodded understandingly.
It seems to make sense, defeating the Yueshi people will indeed have a huge impact on the preparation of the Han Dynasty.
After all, while the Han Dynasty cultivated war horses by itself, it never gave up the idea of continuing to ask for war horses from the Yue people.
And this time he was able to attack, and he was completely able to rely on the war horse from the Yue Clan, otherwise he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon.
The Xiongnu were able to annihilate Donghu in one battle, and some wise people naturally knew that it was time for them to let go of those unrealistic illusions.
Any force that can do this can only prove that there is one or even more excellent leaders in this force.
And this means that from now on, the decisions made by the Xiongnu are no longer a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but more purposeful.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, you should send an envoy to inform the king of the Yue clan to gather his troops as much as possible, and then get close to the vicinity of the Great Wall, so that if the Xiongnu attack, it is better to fight with the Han army." Xiao He said.
He thought very simply, since the relationship between the two sides is good at the moment, and the Han Dynasty still counts on their wool, it is natural to protect it when it is time to protect it.
Chen Ping smiled slightly and said, "No, it's the opposite......"
