Chapter 514: In this battle, I personally set out to fight

'Hiss......'

The words of the baby made all the ministers in the entire Great Han Hall gasp.

Throw 400,000 people into the Western Regions to fight the Xiongnu?

What does this mean?

Dahan has never played such a big battle at all, right?

Even the Qin Dynasty, or the more farther and more chaotic Warring States Period, had never played such a large-scale war.

Don't look at the historical records that both sides invested millions of people or something, they are all floating clouds.

If they follow their algorithm and configuration, the Han army has invested 400,000 people now, and it can be claimed that at least 2 million people have been invested.

Because a person in the Han army is a soldier and a combat force, and the logistics personnel are not counted.

It is precisely for this reason that everyone is so shocked after hearing that 400,000 people have been invested in baby irrigation.

"Baby, don't pretend to be confused, have you calculated how much these 400,000 people eat and drink Lazar a year? Aren't you afraid that the imperial court can't afford to pay the military salary and mess up the morale of the army? Zhang Cang was really anxious, and he didn't care about his face and status, so he directly pointed at the baby and scolded angrily.

Although I have already said that now is not the time to care about money, I really can't get that much money.

"Money can be solved in other ways, if you can't afford military salaries, you will be tax-free if it's a big deal, you will be paid food if it's a big deal, and if it's not good, you will release it, and send all kinds of commodities to replace it, as long as you are nervous for a few years, you can exchange it for at least a hundred years of stability, or even further, doesn't Zhang Shangshu understand this account?" The baby snapped in response.

"Old man......" Zhang Cang pointed at the baby angrily, wanting to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

I don't know how to refute it, but what the baby said seems to be quite reasonable.

"Tell me what you think!" Faced with Zhang Cang's complaint, Wang Buxing directly ignored it.

The short-term difficulties are not difficulties, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is also very difficult and poorer, but isn't this battle still fought?

What can be done without fighting?

Looking at the present, if you didn't fight back then, now Lao Mei can deploy all kinds of disgusting things at your doorstep.

And what about reality?

Although the little brother is not so obedient sometimes, the existence of the little brother still attracts a lot of attention from the Southern Dynasties, so that they can't focus all their energy on themselves.

Although the current Han is also very poor, it is much better than the Huaxia at that time.

The enemy is not so strong either, and now it is our big man who is even stronger.

So, what else is there to hesitate about?

What else is there to struggle with?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the last war was won and dealt a huge blow to the Xiongnu, it was a temporary method."

"Now the Xiongnu have found a solution in the Western Regions."

"At this time, the Xiongnu have already shown their ambitions, so this time the imperial court will either not fight and give them the entire Western Regions, so that they will have decades to develop with peace of mind, and the Han can also develop with peace of mind? Then let's have a decisive battle! ”

"If you win, send troops to reclaim these places? Then spend decades cultivating to remove the traces left by the Xiongnu. ”

"Or take advantage of the fact that the Huns are not firmly established? Directly send heavy troops? Kill it completely! ”

"In this case, there are no Huns in the north? The whole steppe was empty. ”

"Without the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty can receive it smoothly? After all, now the Huns have not left any influence anywhere? If there is, it is definitely a very bad effect. ”

"The minister has fought with the Huns, and after they are defeated, they are absolutely crazy, and they will never live in peace with you."

"So now though it's hard? But just grit your teeth and stick to it for a few years? The south can send 50,000 men to recover the cities in the southern part of the Western Regions, and use this opportunity to directly change it to the county system, and the imperial court will send officials to govern it. ”

"At the same time, prepare a team of 100,000 people to attack from the south to the north, and then prepare a team of 100,000 people to divide into two parts? Attack from the east and west, and another 100,000 from the north? Form a four-sided encirclement, and place some troops on the periphery? It is used to deal with fish that have slipped through the net. ”

"If the last war was to weaken the future war potential of the Huns, then the purpose of this time? Is it the current combat power to destroy the Huns? Let him disappear completely. ”

The tactics of baby feeding are actually quite simple? There are also some negative tricks involved in this.

It's face-to-face, I surround you on all sides, and then gradually shrink the encirclement, and then kill you little by little, so that you can't run.

Although the routine is simple, once successful, the gains are also huge.

But in the same way, because too many troops were involved and the battlefield was too wide, once the Xiongnu learned the news in advance, it was very possible to escape from the encirclement in time.

Just like the siege of Mayi, the Huns found out and withdrew in time.

Because the mobility of the Han army could not keep up with the Huns, they could only watch them leave but there was nothing they could do.

"Your plan, in my opinion, 400,000 people is not enough at all!" Wang Bu was hungry and shook his head.

The largest number of troops invested in the battle against the Xiongnu in history was 300,000 people, which was also the final Armageddon, the key war to determine the outcome of the first war.

But before that, the two sides also fought many wars, and the strength of the Xiongnu was constantly weakened.

400,000 people is indeed a lot, but it is still far from enough to defeat the Xiongnu in one battle.

Even if they were equipped with war horses, the Huns' mobility was still above that of the Han army.

It is not 100% successful to close the encirclement, and he is also at risk of failure.

But how can this risk be mitigated?

In fact, the answer is also very simple, start with two steps.

The first is a refined strategic arrangement, starting from the details to prevent leaks, or because of their own mistakes that cause the Huns to detect in advance.

The other is to increase the number of troops, increase the scope and density of the encirclement, even if you know it, you still can't escape.

But in a war on this scale, this kind of tactical strategy, Wang Bu is not hungry and cannot afford to play like this.

But since it's going to be a big fight......

"Tune the Shu County Barracks to the north, divide 100,000 people to capture the southern city of the Western Regions, and the rest of the people go north, Yunzhong Barracks and Yuyang Barracks together, bypass the grassland, block the north and west respectively, as for the east...... Wang Buxing seriously thought about this plan.

There are 200,000 people in the Shu County barracks, and 270,000 people in Yunzhong and Yuyang combined, but this is 470,000 people.

Continue to draw?

It's not difficult, but I really can't pull out so many people, even if it's all chicken feathers, the barracks from all over the country have to send troops to other places to fill the pits.

But since this has been done, the west cannot but be blocked.

So, Wang Bu was not hungry and looked at the baby again.

"Guan Ying, you lead 20,000 forbidden troops, 50,000 cavalry, and let the Yue clan send 50,000 troops to be responsible for blocking the west, this battle, I personally set out to ......"
