Chapter 1198: Review of the Han Dynasty's destruction of the Xiongnu

The seed was stupid again: "Guogong still has a backhand?" ”

Su You said: "In fact, Liang Yong can attack, just to ensure that all the millet north of Shizhou in Xixia can be harvested normally, so that the people can carry grain and transfer to Xingqing Mansion to carry the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness." ”

"Now that the goal has been achieved, Gorou, you have indeed crossed the Wuding River, indeed entered the summer realm for two hundred miles, and even occupied my two state cities, but twenty days have passed now, and your grain has already passed halfway, the harsh winter has arrived, and there is still a lack of siege equipment."

"And I have finished harvesting the wheat, and the army and the people have retreated to Lingzhou, and at the same time gathered the guards of Xingqing Mansion, a total of 500,000 people."

"Now I'll be waiting for you. Waiting for you to come to Lingzhou City on a cold winter day and fight me in the ice and snow! ”

"By the way, Xu Zhihe, is your winter coat responsible for sending it to Shizhou? Ready to make Gorou wait for a few days in Ishishu? ”

Chong Ge threw the baton to the ground: "Guogong deceives people too much, if Xia people have such a ability as Guogong, why should they be defeated by Guogong again and again?" It's not fair! ”

Su You waved his hand again and again: "Don't be angry, I really don't know how to fight." ”

"Okay, even if the Xia people can't do this, now the military is still scattered everywhere, and it's too late to fight against Gorou's sharpness. Wulang, you take 40,000 light cavalry, destroy the city all the way, and take Xia, Yin, Xing, and Ling, okay? ”

"Now that I am normal, I saw that the situation was not good, regardless of the mausoleum of the temple, I left Xingqing Mansion under the support of the ministers, crossed the Yellow River, and hunted Qilian in the west. Then spread to the states and ordered the tribes to resist King Qin. ”

"So Xixia is full of beacons, and Xiao Wu only has 40,000 people, and he is still trapped thousands of miles away in the Great Song Dynasty, what are you going to do now?"

"Even if you catch Bingchang, what will the Liang family do if they take the little emperor and grandson to the Western Regions and establish him as another king?"

"Don't tell me it's impossible, the Xia people are nomadic people, and they will only settle on the capital after obtaining Xingling."

"Lord Liao can make a bowl at four o'clock, but Lord Xia can't? How difficult is it to restore the nomadic nature? ”

"They are different from my Huaxia people. The Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Later Shu, as long as the capital was laid, the monarch had nowhere to go, and the land could be passed on. But against the Xia people, can this method work? ”

He was not convinced: "Back then, Emperor Wu sent Wei Huo to conquer the Xiongnu and succeeded, why can't we do it today?!" ”

Su You said: "Let's not talk about whether Wei Huo Zhigong has a fluke element, just ask your subordinates, do you know the Hun general Gao who is sick with Huo Quai, Zhao Ponu?" Is there a village guide who can help you find the royal court? ”

"And the armament and tactics of the Huns back then, can they be compared with the Xia people now? Do they have the current Iron Harrier, Poor Armor, Blue Blade Sword, and Whirlwind Cannon? ”

"Even if he is as brave as Huo Hussar, he is only a wolf. And after that? 'And also'! Still can't stay! ”

Xu Xi arched his hand: "Guogong doesn't seem to respect Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty very much?" ”

Su You shook his head: "You can't say that, the work of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty interrupted the rise of the Huns and saved our clan from perishing." ”

"At the same time, the Western Regions were hollowed out, swept through Monan, and planned the best territory in China."

"These are his great achievements, but he is so happy, he opened up the territory but neglected to consolidate control, and in the end, he sought too much, and entered Mobei lightly, Li Guangli lost more than 100,000 teachers, and buried a good start for Wei Huo's hard work."

Xu Xi arched his hand: "The north chases the Xiongnu, there is a river loop, controls the Western Regions, and makes Mo Nan have no royal court." Even if it is a great achievement, it has also laid a good situation, what is a burial? ”

Su You smiled: "Yes, then we can count it." ”

"Historical Records" records that when the Xiongnu Morton, 400,000 elite soldiers rode around Emperor Gao Yu Baideng, with white horses in the west, green horses in the east, black horses in the north, and horses in the south."

And the "Book of Han" recorded more than 300,000. At the same time, "Hanshu Xiongnu Biography", there is also a record of 'Huns every three to six people send out a soldier'. ”

According to these records, we roughly estimate that the total population of the Xiongnu at that time, when the Xiongnu were in their heyday, plus the surrounding small vassal states, should be about 2.5 million. Does this point be recognized? ”

Xu Xi's current official position has also been added, and Lu Huiqing has just arrived in Shaanxi, and he wants to change the war and defense treaty of the Han soldiers. The veterans didn't think so, but Zhao Ji felt that it made sense, so he let Lu Huiqing try it.

Lu Huiqing sent Xu Xi to paint. After the matter was completed, Xu Xi was added by Zhao Xuan to the Zhilong Pavilion, known as the system, and also the imperial history of the Cheng.

Xu Xi nodded, feeling that the number inferred by Su You was roughly the same.

Su You continued: "By the time of Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty was very powerful and began to use troops against the Xiongnu. ”

"The first battle is Henan, and everyone in the hall is full of poetry and books, and they are familiar with side affairs, so I don't need to say more, right?"

Fan Chun said: "In the second year of Emperor Wu Yuanshuo, the Huns committed Shanggu and Yuyang. The general Wei Qing went out of the upper valley to the city of Maocheng, and captured 700 people. ”

Lu Huiqing nodded: "Gongsun He is out of the clouds, and there is nothing to gain." Gongsun Ao went out of Dai County and was defeated by Hu more than 7,000 people. Li Guang went out of Yanmen and was defeated by Hu, while the Xiongnu were born and returned to Guanghou. ”

Bi Zhongyou continued to add: "Later, the Xiongnu entered the border of thieves, and the "Historical Records" recorded that a total of more than 5,000 people were killed. So the Han envoy general Wei Qing rode 30,000 out of Yanmen, and Li Xi went out of Daijun to attack Hu. Thousands of people were captured. ”

"In the second year of Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing came back to the west of Yunzhong to Longxi, and hit Hu Zhilou and Aries King in Henan, and then got thousands of Hu Shou and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep."

Su You said: "This is the famous Battle of Henan, which can be regarded as the opening work of Emperor Wu's strategy against the Xiongnu. ”

"Judging from the exchange of troops, the loss ratio of the Han army and the Xiongnu is two to one, which cannot be regarded as a big victory."

Lu Huiqing said: "But this battle is of great significance, 'so the Han Dynasty took Henan, built Shuofang, and restored the blockage of Meng Tian in the Qin period, because the river was solid." ’”

Chong Ge agreed: "Emperor Wu set up Shuofang and Wuyuan two counties, and built Shuofang City, immigrating more than 100,000 tuntian. In this battle, the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains to gather troops, relieved them of their direct threat to Chang'an, and established a concentrated fortress for the Han army. ”

Su You said: "In this process, although 'Han also abandoned the Shanggu Shibi County to create yang land to Hu'. Overall, though, the exchange is very cost-effective. ”

After that, the Huns were unwilling to be taken away from the Hetao, and repeatedly sent troops to attack and disturb Shuofang. Only in the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, Emperor Wu counterattacked the second Han-Hungarian war. ”

Fan Chun said: "In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing served as the general of the chariot cavalry, led the army out of Shuo, entered the south of the desert, and attacked the right king of the Huns; Li Xi and others sent troops to the right of Beiping, attacked Shan Yu and Zuo Xianwang, and responded to the main force of Wei Qing. ”

Chong Ge admired Wei Huo very much: "In this battle, Wei Qing went out of the fortress for 500 miles, and successfully attacked the Youxian royal court for a long time, and he fled north in embarrassment. The Han army captured more than 10,000 enemies and returned to the division in triumph. ”

Lu Huiqing nodded: "The significance of this battle is to further consolidate the important place of Shuofang, completely eliminate the threat of the Xiongnu to Chang'an, and cut off the left and right parts of the Xiongnu. ”

Xu Xi said: "In February and April of the following year, the general once again went out to Dingxiang, and continued to annihilate more than 10,000 Xiongnu troops before and after, forcing the main Xiongnu force to retreat to Mobei, away from the Han realm. ”

Su You said: "This battle, let's call it the Battle of Monan. Even if the Han army was an immortal victory, the main force of the Xiongnu only wiped out 20,000. But Shuofang was consolidated and the Hetao was cleaned. It's still very cost-effective. ”

"At that time, the Western Regions were still under the control of the Xiongnu, and in the second year of Yuanzhen, Emperor Wu sent Huo to the sick rate of 10,000 people out of Longxi, crossed the Wusheling Mountains, attacked Hexi, and started the third Han-Hun War."

"This is Huo Huqi's fame. Thousands of miles away, six days to break the five small kings of the Huns. Then over the Yanzhi, into a thousand miles, and the Xiongnu fierce battle at the foot of the Gaolan Mountain, even the battle is victorious, annihilating 9,000 enemies, killing several famous kings, capturing the evil prince and Xiangguo, the commander of many people and returning. ”

In the summer of the same year, Huo Qubing once again led the army to attack. Zhang Qian, Li Guang and others led the partial division to attack Youbeiping at the same time to respond to Huo Quai's action. ”

"This time, Huo Quzhi rode tens of thousands of elite horses out of Beidi County, detoured to the north of Hexi, and made a roundabout depth of 2,000 miles, far behind enemy lines."

"Then from northwest to southeast, with the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, the weak water between Qilian Mountain and Heli Mountain broke the Huns in Hexi."

"It was a brilliant success. killed more than 30,000 enemies and captured five famous kings of the Huns; There are more than 100 people, including the queen mother, princes, Xiangguo, and generals. ”

"Collect and surrender 40,000 Hun evil kings on the right side of the Xiongnu, all occupy Hexi, and the Han court set up four counties of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Dunhuang, and immigrate to the border to guard production."

Xu Xi said: "This battle can be called the Battle of Hexi, which opened up the road to the Western Regions of Han and completely realized the intention of 'breaking the right arm of the Xiongnu'. ”

Su You said: "More importantly, this battle was a strategic turning point for the Han and Hungarian hegemony, and the transformation of the strength and weakness was completed. ”

"So far, the Han has completely gained the initiative in the battle against the Huns, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Su You said: "That's what I just said, how many Huns have been wiped out?" ”
