Chapter 4: The Loss of Ma Yi and the Anti-Hungarian Strategy.
Min Zhongqing listened to Bai Mingzhe's opinion and was silent for a while, "Your Majesty is anxious, when does you think you should send troops?" ”
"Suck and slip."
Bai Mingzhe took a sip of the water placed on the small wooden table, and then said: "If you want to really inflict heavy damage on the Huns, then you must have cavalry with strong combat effectiveness. And if you want cavalry, you must have good horses. As long as there are good horses and cavalry is formed, then the time has come to send troops. ”
Min Zhongqing frowned: "Jun means let us breed good horses?" But where to get horse breeds? ”
As we all know, China is an agrarian civilization, and it is not suitable for breeding war horses at all.
The Huns' war horses were able to exert super combat effectiveness in harsh environments such as mountains and mud, which was completely related to the cultivation of the grassland for many years.
Dahan simply does not have such natural conditions, and there are no excellent horse trainers, so they simply cannot breed good horses by themselves.
"Dawan." Bai Mingzhe spit out a place name, "In the west of the Western Regions, there is a country rich in good horses - Dawan. ”
"The Western ...... of the Western Regions" Min Zhongqing raised his head and stared at Bai Mingzhe's eyes, "Are you sure?" ”
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when Zhang Qian comes back from the Da Yue Clan."
Min Zhongqing: "!!!"
Many people know about Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to know the purpose of Zhang Qian's mission.
These are all military secrets of the Han court!
In order to implement the plan smoothly, the news that Zhang Qian set off with the Han alliance document was only known to Liu Che's close people such as Jiuqing and the courtiers, and the others did not know.
Now such an important thing was casually said by a kid who didn't have any hair, which made him very surprised, and even a little frightened, with a killing intent.
Although Liu Che did not have the patience to continue to wait, and had no choice but to plan the siege of Mayi, in his eyes, the status of the best strategy of uniting the Great Moon Clan still did not change.
As long as Zhang Qian successfully returns, he doesn't mind stopping all his work and going all out to unite the Dahan and Dayue clans.
Unconsciously, Min Zhongqing's pupils were already covered with bloodshots, his arms were bulging, and his brows were very low, and he could burst out and kill at any time.
Who exactly leaked the secret?
This has already involved the Han family's military planning for many years, and he has to be cautious.
If Bai Mingzhe couldn't give a reasonable explanation, he wouldn't mind killing people on the spot.
For the sake of the big man, killing a person is nothing.
When the time comes, it will be enough to casually press Bai Mingzhe on a crime. Moreover, there are not a few people in the downtown of Chang'an who are willing to pay ten gold for their lives.
"You don't need to stare at the villain aggressively, Zhang Qian's trip will definitely fail, and it is not a big problem for outsiders to know it." Bai Mingzhe felt the murderous aura and hurriedly spoke
Don't be in such a hurry, give yourself a knife.
"What do you mean by that?" The sword on Min Zhongqing's waist showed signs of being unsheathed.
Knowing that if you don't explain carefully, you won't be able to start and finish well today, Bai Mingzhe looked around and sighed, "Alas, dare to ask if there is a map here?" If there is, the contemptible person can explain it to you. ”
Min Zhongqing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The map is the important weapon of the country, except for the generals who lead troops outside, no one else is allowed to hide the map privately!" This is the law of the Great Han! ”
Bai Mingzhe waved his hand helplessly, pointed to the wood in the brazier not far away, and said, "That's it, that's it, please bring two pieces of charcoal up."
"Huh?" Min Zhongqing glanced at it meaningfully, then went to the fire and pulled out two pieces of charcoal from it with a small shovel. I don't know why, he felt as if something amazing was going to happen for a while,
Douse the charcoal with water and say, "Thorn!" ”
Then he picked it up and handed it to Bai Mingzhe, who was half-sitting on the wooden collapse.
"Since you don't have a map, then please forgive the villain for being rude."
There's no map, it's okay, just draw one yourself.
Bai Mingzhe took the charcoal and drew on the thin brocade quilt that was covered.
The black lines are like pure black snakes, wriggling from the tip of the charcoal.
"Sand, sand, sand." The black charcoal shavings penetrated into the interior of the luxurious brocade quilt.
"Sand, sand, sand, sand."
"Sand, sand, sand, sand."
With the memory in his mind, Bai Mingzhe was rapidly sketching the map of the Great Han and the map of the Western Regions.
In this day and age, no one's map is more accurate than him!
"Look, this is my big man."
With a few random strokes, the territory map of the Western Han Dynasty appeared on silk.
For the sake of caution, he did not draw the specific shapes of the southwest, south, southeast, and northeastern countries of the Han Dynasty.
If this is rectified, he bets that he doesn't want to get out of this Shizhong Mansion safely. Maybe after a while, Tingwei's people will take him away directly.
When marching and fighting, the most important thing is the map.
He, a child who has not yet been crowned, has compiled a map in the shape of the surrounding countries, so as not to scare people to death.
When you enter the Tingwei Mansion, even if it's your clean batch, you have to make something.
Especially...... If I remember correctly, at this time, there seem to be two cool officials in Tingwei - Zhang Tang and Zhao Yu.
Once you've entered, I'm afraid don't want to come out unharmed.
"Rustle, rustle." As he spoke, Bai Mingzhe perfected the map on the futon with charcoal.
At this time, Min Zhongqing's body trembled wildly, and his heart seemed to have a huge wave set off, and then slapped on the sea fiercely, and the feeling of ups and downs was indescribable.
Drawing the territory with his bare hands, even if he looked at the map in Lantaizhong hundreds of times, he couldn't do it.
The commander has always been able to read a map enough, where did he think that he could learn to draw a map?
Before he could finish his shock, the magic sound continued to pour into his ears, causing his spirit to feel in a trance.
"This is my Jingshi Chang'an." Bai Mingzhe pressed the quilt with charcoal, leaving a pitch-black spot, "Walk northwest from Chang'an, reach the vicinity of Jiuyuan County, continue westward, enter the Guyongzhou region, and then pass through the Hexi Corridor to reach the Western Regions." ”
"Continue west, pass through Cheshi, Qiuzi, pass through parts of Wusun, and then you can enter Dawan."
Min Zhongqing looked at the map on the quilt, squinted his eyes, and said, "Jun's knowledge is really profound, and he actually knows so many countries and their geographical distribution."
Where do ordinary people understand these things?
The more Bai Mingzhe said, the more obvious Minzhongqing's murderous intent became.
"Do you know the current location of the people of the Otsuki clan?" Bai Mingzhe threw the charcoal in his hand and took the initiative to ask.
Min Zhongqing raised his eyebrows and said: "According to the records of Lantai, it should be to the west of the Huns, and the specific location is not very clear to me."
"In that case, then it's up to me to tell the people, they're here!"
Bai Mingzhe used charcoal to circle the quilt.
"The west of Dawan, the south of Kangju, this rich land."
"So far?" Looking at the map, Min Zhongqing's expression was a little dignified.
The people of the Otsuki clan also ran too far.
Originally, I thought they were very close to the Xiongnu.
Unexpectedly, there was a Western Regions between the two.
In this way, the flanking plan is a bit tricky.
"It's not just far, since the people of the Otsutsuki clan arrived here, they no longer have the intention of going east." Bai Mingzhe put the charcoal in his hand on the table next to him and patted the black charcoal shavings on his hand, "There is a territory that is richer than before, why should you be nostalgic for the homeland that was once oppressed?" ”
Bai Mingzhe stretched, yawned, and added: "So, I bet that although Zhang Qian's envoy this time can open up the Western Regions, he will not be able to complete the task of contacting the Dayue Clan. The Da Yue clan has changed, and the Da Yue clan that dared to fight the Huns in the past has completely disappeared. ”
There is another point that Bai Mingzhe did not say, if he is not mistaken, during this period of time, the Otsuki clan gradually began to believe in Buddhism.
Also, there is one more thing worth mentioning.
The westward migration of the Otsuki clan had a great impact, and they directly affected the pattern of the entire Central Asia.
The Huns drove out the Da Yue people, the Da Yue people drove out the Sai people, and the Sai people occupied the nest of the Indians.
I can't do it, big guy, can't I bully soft persimmons.
A migration leads to a large number of countries changing dynasties.
Why were Western countries jealous of China before 1840? It's all scared.
With the exception of Genghis Khan, every time the Chinese drove the northern invaders out of the country, the invaders liked to run west.
Every time they escape, there will be a major reshuffle in Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe.
Take, for example, the great migration that began by the Xiongnu in 91 AD.
In general, this migration lasted for hundreds of years, and directly triggered the changes in Europe for a thousand years. The Huns used the knowledge they learned from fighting against the Han Dynasty to capture the Ostrogoths and Visigoths. Then the Goths entered Rome, which led to a massive revolt in Rome, and in the end, Rome directly lost direct control of most of the region.
This is nothing, this group of Huns still likes to wander around. In 400 AD, the Huns Uldin led a large army into Hungary in pursuit of the Goths and crossed the Alps into Italy. It's just such a turn, and the shuffle begins again.
The Goths, led by Alerik, had to move south in order to escape the large army of the Huns. However, they were much more dragged than their compatriots a few years earlier, and in 408, 409, and 410 they laid siege to Rome three times. In 410, it was the second time in history that Rome had fallen.
Min Zhongqing's eyes were blazing, and today he understood a lot of information that was not clear before: "Huh, if Jun leads the troops against the Huns, what will Jun do?"
"It's still the same sentence, if you can drag it out, you can drag it out. When you have a good horse and cultivate a powerful cavalry, you will directly come to a decisive battle in Mobei! ”
"But if it drags on for a long time, it will have too much impact on the people on our border. They will suffer from war for a long time. ”
"If we don't drag on and forcibly start a large-scale war, then it's not just the border people who will suffer. I, the subjects of the Han Dynasty, have to pay for the materials that were spent on the war! Bai Mingzhe warned, "Although after the Second Emperor Wenjing, my country's treasury is abundant, but I still have to warn you, no matter how abundant the treasury is, it can't sustain several large-scale wars!" ”
This is not only Bai Mingzhe's big talk, but also a bloody lesson of history.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was reckless, which led to the misery of the people in the later period.
His reminder is not only for the people, but also for the sake of not wanting to see Luntai sin himself.
