Chapter 482: There must be a million male soldiers
The conditions in Wuwei County are very similar to the military camps in front, and there is not much change.
Maybe it's just that there are more people, and the valleys on both sides don't provide good shelter from the wind and rain, but a lot of cold wind comes in along the valley.
Even in the house, I still don't feel anything too warm.
Even if more charcoal fires were lit here, there wouldn't seem to be any gas poisoning here.
Drilling around, the gas can't be stored at all.
"Can Chen Junshou tell the old man about the changes in the Han Dynasty in recent years?" Looking at the food on several cases, although he has not tasted it for more than three years, his body has long been honest and wants to taste it, but he is still very concerned about the changes in the motherland.
If you put it in the past, more than three years or nearly four years, it is not long, and there will basically not be too many big changes.
But this time was different.
Before returning to Dahan, Lu Jia felt that Dahan was different.
Han Xin annihilated 10,000 Huns in Yunzhong County before, although it sounds very exciting, but in fact, if you think about it seriously, you will find that Han Xin's battle is actually more of a sneak attack, taking advantage of the lack of defense of the Huns to fight.
Moreover, the Han army had an absolute advantage in strength, but in the back, the Han army defeated the main force of the Xiongnu, forcing them to move west to avoid disaster.
But what Lu Jia was able to learn was only some incomplete information from Kuntu.
How is this battle fought?
What kind of achievements did the Han army achieve?
He didn't know anything about it.
And the construction of Wuwei County also made Lu Jia feel a different existence.
It's really because of this place in Wuwei County, he is too special.
And listening to Lu Jia's words, Kuntu couldn't help but cheer up.
During this half-year trip, Kuntu also learned a lot of Chinese, as long as he didn't speak too fast and didn't speak any dialects, Kuntu could still understand it.
"Chen Junshou, I also want to hear what changes have changed in the big Han......" Kuntu asked a little impatiently.
There are too many people in the mission and limited space, so it is naturally impossible to invite everyone over.
However, the envoys of the two great powers, Wusun and Qiuzi, followed, and it was the first hospitality after coming to the Han Kingdom.
"Envoy Lu, this ......" Chen Hua was a little hesitant, and Kuntu's question made him even more at a loss.
It has nothing to do with concentration, there are some things that can be said by one's own people, and some things that must not be said in front of outsiders.
If it weren't for these members of the mission, Chen Hua would never have thought about it for so long.
"Chen Junshou said that it doesn't matter, the countries of the Western Regions are still relatively friendly to the Han Dynasty!" Lu Jia smiled slightly, and glanced at Chen Hua, meaning that even if you blow it, the more powerful it is, the better.
If you are careful and hide everything, it will be bad.
This trip to the Western Regions also taught him a lot of knowledge points, this person is outside, especially the exchanges between countries.
It's useless to hide clumsy, if you have five points of strength, you must show ten momentum, and scare them to death, otherwise people are not afraid of you, how can you be the boss?
How do you convince others?
"Okay, then let's talk about it, um......" After receiving Lu Jia's signal, Chen Hua's worries in his heart were completely released, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then let's start by attacking the Huns......
Hearing that Chen Hua was about to talk about the Han-Hungarian War, everyone present widened their eyes, and the food in his hand was instantly unfragrant.
Lu Jia and others focused on the changes in the Han Dynasty, and Kuntu and others focused on the true strength of the Han army.
After the Xiongnu moved westward, these natives were miserable, and they couldn't fight it, so what else could they do?
They also wanted to hear how the Han Dynasty in the east dealt with the Huns.
"In fact, this matter, Your Majesty has long expected it, in the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, before the beginning of spring, Your Majesty knew that the Xiongnu were going to attack Donghu in the east, what was the strength of Donghu at that time? Just the number of soldiers, there is almost half of the population of the Huns, you say that the Huns took the initiative to attack Donghu, didn't they look for their own death? ”
"At that time, the ministers of the DPRK and China also thought so, but His Majesty disagreed, saying that there was a snow disaster on the grassland, and the losses of the Xiongnu must be heavy, but the losses of Donghu will not be small."
"This Xiongnu's Mao Dun Shan is a cautious person, plus the king of Donghu in the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty once humiliated Mao Dun Shan Yu, and now there is a disaster on the grassland, Mao Dun Shan Yu will definitely not let go of this opportunity."
"Therefore, Your Majesty immediately ordered that the then military department Shangshu Guan Ying and the general Han Xin each led 50,000 elite soldiers out of the clouds, marched east along the grassland, and followed the rear of the Xiongnu, intending to make a sudden attack when the Xiongnu and Donghu were in a fierce battle, and completely defeat the Xiongnu and Donghu with one blow."
"However, the weather was still very cold at that time, and the army was short of warm clothes, so His Majesty ordered the Yue clan to provide warm clothing, and in this way, the two generals led their troops, plus the cooperation of the prince of the Yue clan, Bayar, and pursued all the way to the east."
"Although the speed is fast enough, but after arriving to the east, I found that they were still one step late, the powerful Donghu was vulnerable in front of the Huns, and after our 100,000 main forces arrived, their battle was already over."
"And guess what? The scout caught a live one, saying that the Huns were divided into two routes, one way was about 200,000 people, and they went around to collect the Donghu tribe, and the other way was an army of 100,000 people, and they went directly south to Yuyang County. ”
"It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that His Majesty was not wrong at all when he said that Mao Dun was only cautious, no, just after avenging Donghu's humiliating revenge, he came directly to trouble the big man."
"Thanks to Your Majesty's clever calculation, it has already reached this point, so with a wave of his hand, he directly asked the 130,000 recruits in the second year of Jianyuan to turn around and go north, and the troops entered Yuyang County, and at the same time ordered Wang Li, the main general of the southern county, to go north to lead this army."
"And after Wang Li went north, he directly ordered the five counties in the border area to clear the wilderness, not leaving half a grain of grain for the Huns, and finally the Huns' 100,000 troops had to besiege Yuyang City, which was heavily defended by Wang Li, but what did General Wang Li do? As for the little trick of the Huns, what kind of storm can they have in front of General Wang Li? After attacking several times, he didn't even see the face of the Han army, and he fled in a hurry after leaving thousands of corpses. ”
"But I have to admit that this Hun general who led people south still has some ability, if he doesn't flee at this time, he really has no chance to leave, General Guan Ying is leading 70,000 troops south to pursue his 100,000 people, but General Guan Ying pounced again, and they ran away as soon as they came."
"On the other side, General Han Xin took 30,000 people to start looking for the main force of the Huns in the grassland, and the main force of the Huns knew that they were invincible, so they didn't dare to meet each other, so they could only watch from afar."
"At this time, General Han Xin used a trick and ordered the women of all departments to be gathered, and then brought to the Han Dynasty. At this time, they could only be anxious, and they could only take the initiative to come out and seek fighters. ”
"And General Han Xin led 30,000 Han troops, resisted the main force of 200,000 Huns head-on, and after half a day of fierce fighting, he annihilated and captured more than 20,000 Huns, and the remaining more than 100,000 people fled frantically, not daring to fight again."
"To say that there are also capable people among the Huns, the east is not good to the west, they know that General Han Xin is stationed in Yunzhong County, and at this time General Han Xin appeared here with the Han army, so the west must be empty in defense, so they ran directly to the west, planning to take advantage of the emptiness of defense in the clouds, and give the Han a little color to take a look."
"But it's a pity, no matter how smart the Huns are, they can't escape Your Majesty's calculations, Your Majesty ordered General Han Xin to send troops, and ordered Zhang Buyi, the general of the Praetorian Guard, to go to the border with more than 40,000 forbidden troops for war preparation and defense."
"After hearing the attack of the Xiongnu, Zhang Buyi, the general of the Praetorian Guard, immediately ordered the Yue clan to lure the enemy south, and then took 40,000 forbidden troops and more than 30,000 cavalry soldiers left by General Han Xin out of the pass, and once again attacked the rear base camp of the Huns."
"This battle directly captured more than 100,000 Hun women, tens of millions of cattle and sheep, the Huns were angry after learning the news, regardless of the Yueshi people in front of them, and directly waved troops to pursue, but when they arrived in the clouds, General Zhang had already entered the customs, and at this time, General Guan Ying and General Han Xin came back with a large army, if the Huns did not run, they would face the danger of being flanked once, and then the Huns lost their news......"
Chen Hua said very carefully, and the ins and outs of the whole thing are very clear and organized, so that people can directly see the main line and development of the whole thing.
Later, the Huns lost their news, so where did they go?
The answer, of course, is the West.
Quint's eyes widened and his mouth wide open, he felt that what he had heard seemed to be a little more than he knew.
In the Western Regions, just the vanguard of the Xiongnu beat them Wusun howling, and in the east, the main force of the Xiongnu was actually played by the Han army?
Is there any reason for this special mother?
"That...... Chen Junshou, how many people are there in this Han army now? The messenger from Qiuzi asked in the same bewilderment.
He is also very concerned about this problem, anyway, what he has heard so far, 100,000 cavalry, 130,000 recruits, more than 40,000 Praetorian Guards, and more than 30,000 cavalry who stayed in the clouds, which adds up to 310,000.
In the Western Regions, it is widely rumored that the Han army had six or seven hundred thousand people.
"This ......" Chen Hua hesitated again, how can you say such a thing as a military force? It's a secret.
But Lu Jia nodded again.
Well, since Lu Jia nodded, let's cooperate, lest there be a problem with the diplomacy we engage in at that time, and I can't bear this pot.
"How many people are there in this Han army? Actually, I haven't done the math specifically, but I can do it now. ”
"There are 140,000 people in this Yuyang camp, 130,000 people in Yunzhong camp, 150,000 in Guanzhong, 200,000 in Nanjun camp, and Shuzhong camp...... Well, there are also 130,000, what about our Wuwei County, there are 30,000 people, how much does this add up? Chen Hua began to wrestle, the soldiers of the Shuzhong battalion will only arrive next year, but what about him, let's count it first.
"County guard, seven hundred and eighty thousand......" Hong Min said with some trepidation.
"Well, that's 780,000, and there are still 50,000 forbidden troops in Luoyang, but these 50,000 people are generally not moving."
Chen Hua nodded quietly, more than 800,000 soldiers?
Is it a lot?
No, when it comes to bragging, he can be more, besides, he is not blindly bragging, this is also true.
"These troops can be mobilized at will, in the Han Dynasty, there are 50,000 standing troops stationed in various places, and in other counties, depending on the size of the county, there will also be 500 to 2,000 defenders, I really haven't counted how many of this, if you want to know, you have to go to the military department to check, anyway, a million male soldiers are not a problem."
Although there is no place to verify Chen Hua's words, but the strength of every barracks has been said, then I am afraid that this matter will not be fake, Kuntu's face changed instantly: "Hundred...... Millions of Soldiers??? ”
