Due to the large area of ice floe in this section of the Yellow River, most of the old and weak and hundreds of thousands of livestock could not escape at all, and finally all of them were captured. According to preliminary statistics, there were 100,000 Huns and 450,000 livestock.

In the end, the right Xian King and the left valley Li Wang both surrendered, and there was no more war in the southern part of Xihe County.

Only the right Dulu King, with 2,000 people has been fleeing northward, first scattered and hidden in Yanmen, Dingxiang and other places, and then went to the former royal court of the Southern Xiongnu, Meiji City.

Soon, good news also came from Beiqu County.

Progress on the other side of the Yellow River has exceeded expectations, and half of the land in Shangjun has been restored, and it is estimated that it will soon be able to take over the Gujun Zhifushi. In the spring, it may be possible to arrange for the development of a large area of tunhu.

Tong Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the messenger for details of the battle situation on the other side.

Zhang Lu, Zhang Ji, Shen Long, Yu Poison, Su Ze, Feng Mou, Xue Xia, plus all the Qiang assistance, no matter how you look at it, it is all a feeling of second-rate configuration.

Four of them have left a lot of records in history, but none of them are the most popular and well-known types.

Among them, the most famous is Zhang Ji, who has been entrusted with important tasks. And Su Ze, who is not well-known, can also stabilize the frontier and stand alone.

However, although Tong Yuan didn't know much about them, after coming into contact these days, he could see the shining points of several people and boldly delegate power to appoint. He believes that by doing so, they will be able to write wonderful achievements.

Zhang Ji came forward very well and put forward his battle plan.

"At present, from the Sanfu side under our control, if the Northern Expedition against the Xiongnu is to be made, there are two major roads to choose from. The first is to start from Xiayang and go north along the river and mountains. ”

"This road is relatively close, convenient for Xia Yang's supplies to be transported, and it is convenient to meet our allies, all of whom are not seeded. However, its disadvantages are also very obvious, first of all, the terrain is mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy also pays more attention to this direction. ”

"And the most important thing is that this road is difficult to attack the enemy's hinterland, even if it goes a hundred miles north, it can only recover some towns and villages, and the impact on the overall situation is limited."

When Zhang Ji spoke, the others listened intently, for fear of missing some key analysis.

They did this not only because Zhang was in the middle of the state and the third guard army, two important positions. It is also because Zhang is very meticulous and effective.

It can be said that no one in the entire Xinxi Liang Army admires Zhang Ji's ability.

Yu Yuzi was a little anxious, and asked, "The first way is like this, then you can also give us more analysis and analysis of the second way." ”

Zhang Ji nodded and said, "The next day, the road is from Qiqi County, along the Qinzhi Road and the Hanzhi Road, all the way north. The road passes through major counties and townships and can penetrate deep into the hinterland of the upper county. ”

"Its disadvantage is that it can ambush large armies on the left and right, and if we go deep alone, it is easy to fall into the encirclement of enemy troops."

Everyone fell silent, thinking carefully about how to prepare for the pre-planned battle.

Su Ze said at this time, "In this case, why don't our troops divide into two roads, one positive and one strange, each take one way, and prepare for the corresponding battle?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The lord may also have this intention. Now the stone road has been built dozens of miles to the north, which is very convenient for our army to march and transfer military supplies. ”

"And in the direction of Xia Yang, a group of county soldiers and big clan armies have also been mobilized, and with the cooperation of all the unseeded Qiang, it is just right to divide the troops into two ways."

Zhang Ji added: "This time, the lord let us swallow thousands of miles and try our best to recover the homeland of the state, and we will take advantage of the winter to mobilize the military and the people as much as possible, and strive to complete the war before the spring ploughing, and open new counties and townships and cantonment troops." ”

Shen Long said that although he was relieved that he could not help paving roads and crossing rivers and bridges, and all the soldiers were equipped with two-grade armor, leather armor and winter clothes, even if they were specialized in combat, they could still work at ease.

According to the general direction given by Tong Yuan, everyone fully discussed the current material and troop situation. A two-way march plan has been drawn up, and high-speed advancement has been formulated.

Seeing that the annihilation of the enemy army has not been discussed, but only the defeat. Yu Xuan, who had been unable to interject, opened his mouth and said, "You have prepared materials, troops, routes, etc., then I will mention how to fight." ”

Zhang Ji and Su did not take into account the late addition of poison and his humble background, they all listened carefully to his analysis, and even had the attitude of learning some.

Yu Poison said, "According to the plan, our army will fight to Shangjun County, Zhifu Shi City, and along the Luyan River. This plan is bold and heroic, but because the distance is very long, it is estimated that it is a thousand miles away. ”

"In other words, this plan requires our side to march at high speed, or even to advance while building roads, which is very vulnerable to enemy attacks."

Shen Long had a similar background to Yu Poison, and interjected, "What Captain Yu means is that if our army fights and walks at the same time, I'm afraid it won't be able to go so far as expected, reach the target area, and control the surrounding areas, right?" ”

Yu Xuan replied, "That's right, if you say five hundred miles, you can reach Gaonu County." Our army is fighting and walking, and if the progress is relatively ideal, there will be more energy left to control the surrounding area after reaching the destination. ”

The Gao Nu he said was an important county seat in the south of Shang County, that is, Yan'an in later generations. The old county is five hundred miles to the north, slightly closer to the Yulin of later generations.

Since Chang'an is a hundred miles to the north, it has already been a frontier, and further north has actually been divided and occupied by the Hu people, which is the reality and tragedy since Huan Ling.

Yu Poison continued, "Unlike to Gaonu, this is a thousand-mile road to Fushi, a thousand-mile mountain road in winter, and there are a large number of enemies on the side. ”

Zhang Lu said, "This is indeed a huge problem, but I don't know what Captain Yu's countermeasures are?" ”

Yu Poison said, "And our army should inflict heavy losses on the enemy's main force in a more familiar area, and then march at high speed to force the enemy to rush into a decisive battle." Therefore, it is to lure the enemy over first, and then march in a big way. ”

"In terms of specific operations, we can attract the enemy army to get close to the fortress post in the mountains, and then give full play to the advantages of our department, that is, interspersed combat in the mountains. I can lead my troops to tear apart the enemy's formation, so that our army can inflict heavy losses in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Captain Yu is worthy of being a master of mountain warfare valued by the lord, and this idea is similar to that of the lord and Master Xu." Does Captain Yu have any specific operational ideas? ”

Yu Poison said, "Yes, that is, our army can enter the mountains in advance to set up an ambush, and then cut off the advancing enemy. However, we do not yet know how to attract enemy troops to our intended battlefield. ”

Everyone was thinking intently, but there was nothing they could do. How could the Huns have acted according to their plan?

Some people have proposed to lure the enemy by deception. The crowd seems to have a bit of a way, but how to organize the rhetoric, and how many enemy troops can be attracted?

"There it is! Pregnant! ”

Zhang, who is still most familiar with the geography of the nearby generation, thought of something first.
