Chapter 418: Believe in Friendly Forces
It is said that guarding the border is a very hard and tiring thing.
But when Mao arrives here, he doesn't work hard at all, and he doesn't get tired at all?
In addition to being a little bored, the whole person seems to be eating fat?
Where is the reason for this special mother?
"By the way, the Yue's people haven't come to trade this month, right?" Zhang Buyi asked suddenly.
"Nope!" The subordinate shook his head.
"This is strange, it stands to reason that this is about to be grazing, and there is no chance to exchange supplies when you wander, you should exchange more!" Zhang Buyi faintly felt that something was not normal.
More than half of the summer has passed, and if you don't change this month, there will basically not be many opportunities for the next month, and the time will be even tighter.
Even from the next month, they will gradually go out.
There is such a fattening season in a year, how can the grassland people let it go?
"Maybe they'd like to save up a little bit and change together?"
Zhang Buyi shook his head and said, "The closer ones should also come, I remember that they didn't change much last time, right?" ”
"Seems like barely enough for a month?" The subordinate nodded.
It's really that the price of the Han people is too high, and these goods are unique.
Yueshi people have to accept it, and if they don't accept it, they have to accept it.
If you don't change it, you can only continue to live a poor life.
But this time it did drag on for too long, and in the past, the Yueshi people would come to change things at the beginning of each month.
It was the middle of the month, and I still didn't see anyone coming.
"Let the scouts step up their patrols and see what the Yue people are doing?" Zhang Buyi admonished.
After all, one of the tasks he had when he came to the border was to guard against the Yue's people.
Although there are more than 40,000 forbidden troops and more than 30,000 cavalry, as well as 70,000 or 80,000 defenders, the number of troops is not small.
But whether the Yue's people will be honest or not, this Zhang Buyi is not sure.
Following.
Today, the Scout's mission has been increased, and the scope of the scout has been broadened.
However, not long after the scouts were released, Zhang Buyi ushered in the Yueshi people.
To be exact, it is considered a messenger of the Half Moon Clan.
"Respected General Han, we have found traces of the Huns on the grasslands in the north, and our king sent me to invite the Han to send troops to meet the Huns together!" As soon as the two sides met, the envoy of the Yue clan directly explained his intention.
I don't know how to be subtle at all, and I don't have the euphemism of the Han people at all.
I'm not even too lazy to be polite to you, and I'm too lazy to say a few more good words.
"How many people came?" Zhang Buyi glanced at the other party and said coldly.
"I don't know, but it feels like there should be a lot, and their scouts add up to thousands of people." The Yue's envoy said.
"It's only that few people, can't you Yue Clan handle it?" Zhang Buyi said with disdain on his face.
"Uh......" The Yue's envoy was stunned.
What do you call such a little people?
Are there very few people at that?
Do you have any misunderstandings about the grasslands?
How many scouts does your Han army send out every day? How many of them wander around the Yueshi tribe every day?
I'm afraid there aren't even a thousand people, right?
You Han people are stationed at this border, not to mention 100,000 people, right?
The Xiongnu even sent thousands of scouts, so why can't the main force be 100,000 people?
Where is Baby Hanshin?
With the Yue clan's understanding of Han Xin, the possibility of defeat is not very great.
However, the probability of getting lost is very high.
Otherwise, why did the Huns have a main force here?
It's obvious!
The two sides did not meet at all, that is to say, Guan Ying and Han Xin took the main force of the Han army to travel on the grassland.
"General, according to this scale, there will be 100,000 main forces of the Huns later...... "The Yue Clan's envoy explained with the thought of scolding.
"You have more than 200,000 elite soldiers in the Yue clan, can't you still deal with 100,000 Huns?" Zhang Buyi asked directly.
"Uh......" The Yue's envoy looked confused.
This question is asked.
How shall I answer?
Can you fight?
That's a shame to die.
Can't beat it?
Where is Yue's face still placed?
Obviously, the Yueshi people also have great doubts in their hearts now, and they also have some psychological shadows for the Huns.
So I plan to invite the Han army to send troops together.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Han army can be guaranteed.
In addition, the Han army fought a battle with the Huns last year, and the combat effectiveness was very good.
With the Han army in the war, the Huns were bound to attract attention.
At that time, the Yue clan will be able to concentrate its forces to fight more and fight less, and play the prestige of the Yue clan.
At the same time, let the Han people take a look at it, the previous mistake was just careless.
"General......
"Not available!" Zhang Buyi replied.
"......" Yue's envoy looked confused: "No...... Not available??? ”
What are you doing now?
Engage in training and sleep every day, and then inquire about Yue's, you tell me that you are not free?
Isn't it?
"I just don't have time!" Zhang Buyi spread his hands and asked, "What season is it?" ”
"Summer, ......"
"What about after the summer?" Zhang Buyi then asked.
"Autumn......"
"What do you do in autumn?" Zhang Buyi continued to ask.
"Grazing ......"
"And what about herding?"
"It's gone......"
Zhang Buyi shook his head and said with a serious face: "Wrong, big mistake, for you, except for grazing, it's fine, but it's different for Dahan, autumn is the harvest season." ”
Then, Zhang Buyi pointed to a large area of farmland in the distance and said, "See? A large area of farmland is about to be harvested, and there will be a month and a half at most, so I will ask you, if General Ben goes out with his troops now, what will happen to this grain? Who will collect it? What will my troops eat in the coming year? And what will I exchange with you? ”
"Even if the Huns come, how many can come? You're also the second in the grassland, right? I'm afraid that the Huns, the third in the east, are afraid of being like this, do you want this face? ”
"Shame on you?"
"You don't shame the general, but the general is ashamed of you!"
"Let me tell you this, before the end of the autumn harvest, the Han army has no time to go out, no matter how difficult it is on your side, you have to carry it until after the autumn harvest......"
"Well, but I have to send people to report the battle situation frequently, and my side needs to keep abreast of the battlefield dynamics, so that after the autumn harvest, I can send troops to hit the key points of the Huns!"
"I ......" the Yue's envoy looked confused, did I meet the devil?
The enemy has hit in front of you, and you tell me that the food has not been confiscated?
However, Zhang Buyi didn't give him this opportunity, and directly interrupted him: "What am I? If your Yueshi can give me 3 million cattle and sheep and 100,000 war horses now, I don't want those grains, and I will go on the expedition now, what about it? ”
"You...... You're taking advantage of the fire to rob ......," the Yue's envoy angrily pointed at Zhang Buyi and scolded.
Zhang Buyi smiled slightly and said, "How fast do you learn words?" This is not called robbing while the fire is hot, this is called holding what each person needs! ”
"Humph!" The envoy of the Yue Clan snorted coldly, and then turned his head and left.
Zhang Buyi is sure of him, and if he wants to send troops now, the Yue clan will have to take out three million cattle and sheep and 100,000 war horses.
How much water did the Yue's brains go into before they agreed to his shameless condition?
Of course, the invitation of the Yue King to the Han army was also to prevent it from happening, but it was really scared by the Huns two years ago.
But now the main force of the Huns has not yet appeared, has it?
What if they just wanted to take advantage of the Han army's outing, just like last year, to come and steal the house?
Of course, the main thing is.
The king of the Yue clan was not sure whether the Huns were coming to steal the house or the main force, and wanted to invite the Han army, but the willingness was not particularly strong.
Sending people here is mainly to remind the Han army that when the news arrives, the Han army should gather troops here, right?
At that time, if the Xiongnu really came to the main force, they would directly lead the Xiongnu to the Great Wall.
When the main force of the Han army comes out again, it will attack inside and outside, hehe, Huns?
King Yue: Please call me the Little Prince of Strategy......
However, what the Yue Clan King never expected was ......
"General, do you want to gather the brethren here?"
"What are you doing here? What are you doing here? They are all assembled, who will harvest the farmland everywhere? Do you go or do I go? What do you do with the farmland here? Big-eyed staring? Zhang Buyi looked at his subordinates angrily, one by one without a little brain, isn't it just that little bit of a Huns? What are you afraid of?
The Great Wall was built for fun?
Or is it for future generations to use in archaeology?
You just only have 10,000 people, standing on the Great Wall, and he can't get over the Huns, what's there to be nervous about!
Military reclamation is a necessary task for the Han army to be stationed, and through military reclamation, transportation resources can be greatly saved, and at the same time, the living needs of the border army can be guaranteed.
Basically, after three years of stationing a force on the border, the imperial court no longer needs to transport grain here, and it is enough to produce it itself.
And in the process of trading with the Yue people, the Han army played the role of a black-hearted businessman.
Therefore, their food has improved well, there is no shortage of meat, and they can eat it in conjunction with food, and they can still have some grain left over every year.
Logistics and transportation only need to transport salt and other essential materials for daily life.
And there is not much salt to eat, and there is no fine salt these days, it is all a lump of salt the size of a small stone.
A soldier gives a piece, enough to eat for a month.
If you save a little, you can lick it twice when you eat, which is considered a supplement.
If you are more extravagant, knock off a small piece and throw it into the bowl to melt him.
Well, the rice is made together, but the salt is who eats whom, and that's how spiritual.
"General, if the main force of the Huns really comes, I'm afraid the Yueshi people won't be able to defeat it, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it's a little late, and those farmland defenders will slowly collect it, anyway, it's not in a hurry for a day or two."
"What do you mean not to rush these two days? The defenders are not human, huh? People from their hometowns were transferred all the way to the border, which was hard enough, and you ran away from the forbidden army when it was time to work? What do people think? Zhang Buyi glanced at his subordinates, and said with some hatred: "You have to believe in the Yue's people, I believe that they will definitely be able to, there are more people left in various places, and the speed of collection is faster, and there will be no worries when the time comes, let's fight happily??? ”
