Chapter 227: The Opening of the Mansion
"I feel safe.
Even if we gather an army of 300,000, our troops will not have an absolute advantage in the face of the Xiongnu army. ”
The main army of the Xiongnu is definitely more than 300,000, of course, this is when the whole people are fighting when the situation is urgent.
Really surround the Huns in one place, and the Xiongnu Dadanyu tribe alone can gather 500,000 Hun cavalry that can fight on horseback.
They had plenty of horses, and all the men in the prime of life between the ages of fourteen and forty were recruited into the army, and they could definitely reach this number.
This is also why Zhang Yuan has always wanted to avoid starting a decisive battle with the Xiongnu before cutting off the rest of the Xiongnu tribes.
Earlier in Gaoque, even if the military minister buried all the 200,000 troops there, he would be able to reconvene hundreds of thousands of troops after he returned.
This is why the Han army has been negative about the Xiongnu army before.
Many people feel that the Huns cannot be killed.
Mobei will continue to give birth to a large number of Xiongnu armies to fight the Han army in the south.
Earlier, the military minister only led a large army south, and he planned to surprise Yuyang County and kill Han Anguo.
When this plan was shattered, and the huge army needed food to survive, the warlord realized that it was impossible to end the battle in a short time, so he let his tribe move south.
That is to say, there were nearly a million Huns gathered in the city of Decadence.
Otherwise, Wei Qing has 150,000 troops in his hands and 50,000 cavalry, why don't he take the initiative to attack and give the military ministers a powerful blow.
More people means chaos.
The Huns didn't know how to manage in the first place, which was the fundamental reason why Chu Da was able to spread the news.
Otherwise, in the army, Chu Da was surrounded by Hun cavalry, how could he send out the information while ensuring his own safety.
"Well, I will only contain the main army of the Huns."
Wei Qing couldn't wait to kill all the Huns in the world in one go.
"Rest assured, the days of no royal court in the south and north of the desert will not be too far away."
After filling his stomach at Wei Qing's house, Zhang Yuan rushed back to his home.
The temporary Wei General's Mansion was temporarily set up in the Xin'anhou Mansion.
When Zhang Yuan was at Wei Qing's house, he asked Wei Qing to send someone over to inform Zhuo Wenjun and ask her to clean up a side hall as General Wei's office.
After Zhang Yuan went back, Zhuo Wenjun had already asked people to clean up.
And a series of officials and soldiers assigned by Liu Che to Zhang Yuan were waiting at the gate of Xin'anhou Mansion.
This soldier is not the 50,000 army, and it is impossible for the 50,000 army to enter the city until the important time.
These soldiers were all guards who protected Zhang Yuan's thoughtfulness.
The first to report was Xue Ren, who was closest to Jianzhang Palace.
"The last general will meet General Wei."
After Xue Ren saw Zhang Yuan, his face was full of excitement.
"Good boy."
Zhang Yuan patted Xue Ren's shoulder armor, put one hand around his shoulder and pulled him into the side hall.
"What kind of position will General Wei hold this time?"
Since Xue Ren has entered Zhang Yuan's General Wei Mansion, Zhang Yuan naturally wants to give him an official.
Jun Sima also has such an important position as Changshi, and Liu Che did not interfere.
Zhang Yuan commanded an army, and as long as Zhang Yuan did not give an order, there was no need to divide the troops.
"If you talk about the position of Li Jian, you will be a partial general for the time being.
When I get to the battlefield, I'll be of great use. ”
When Xue Ren heard this, he was a little disappointed, he thought that he could make a big deal with his relationship.
Now Zhang Yuan is General Wei and enjoys the right to open the government.
In terms of Changshi's power, whether it is the prime minister or the big Sima or the four generals who are more than the three dukes, Changshi is all at the level of deputy.
Wei Qing's Hussar General's Mansion has a long history, and there are sixty-two subordinate officials alone, and there are even more junior officials.
Zhang Yuan's General Wei doesn't have such a big row, but looking at the officials that Liu Che packed and sent, he knew that the power was not small.
The two of them are qualified to discuss with Zhang Yuan.
There are eleven people in the Changshi Peng, eight in the Changshi Lingshi, and ten in the Changshi Imperial Family.
After Zhang Yuan got the list, he suddenly felt that this Wei Changshi had more things to do than himself.
As for the military Sima, it can be set up or not.
Zhang Yuan's compulsion has been raised a bit, and he is no longer the official of the two thousand stones earlier, and it is no problem to use the lieutenant as his deputy now.
But a big official like the school captain, Zhang Yuan doesn't have the qualifications and the courage to seal it.
I could only wait for Liu Che to give it, but Liu Che didn't give it, and he didn't even give Xue Ren and a few of them the title of general.
To be reasonable, Zhang Cigong's status is no lower than that of the school captain, and when he attacked the Loufu King Aries King with Zhang Yuanweiqing earlier, he was the school captain.
The other three didn't give a title, even Zhang Cigong didn't give it.
Of course, it may also be given, Zhang Yuan doesn't know now, after all, there is a little cub in front of Xue Ren.
As for Xue Ren, the captain of the Yulin Military Academy, he is really in name only, and the captain of the whole Han Dynasty with a thousand stones is estimated to be Xue Ren.
"When did you arrive?"
"Before noon, I also had a meal at home.
I knew that Chef Wang was brought to Xin'anhou Mansion by the general, and the last general would be bothered a lot during this time. ”
In the face of Xue Ren, the fourth generation of nobles, Zhang Yuan couldn't say anything.
However, whether these nobles are four generations, three generations or a living second generation, if they don't work hard now and think about gnawing on their ancestors' old roots, they will only be unlucky in the future.
Liu Che's most ruthless gold incident killed the prime minister, not to mention, and also deprived Gongsun He of his title.
If Xue Ren doesn't work hard to break away from the family by virtue of military merits now, his future fate is not expected to be too good.
"When the other people come, don't gag in front of me.
In the army, you have to have a look, don't let outsiders say that I, Zhang Yuan, is not strict in governing the army. ”
"The last will understand."
Li Fu didn't know who it was, but Zhang Cigong and Xue Ren were both bastard types.
Li Jian is a trustworthy one.
With the help of the subordinate officials of General Wei's Mansion, Zhang Yuan and Xue Ren sorted out the origin of the 50,000 cavalry.
Fortunately, it is not the old, disabled, sick and weak of the county soldiers and the Hou Guobing.
Liu Che transferred back the army west of Chang'an, which was originally going to deal with the evil king Hugh Tu.
As for the east of Chang'an, all the troops did not move at all.
It should be that after the Tui En Order was issued, Liu Che was not very relieved in the face of those princes and kings, so there was such a thing.
Zhang Yuan really hoped to lead the Eighth Captain of the Southern Army and the Yulin Army to go out together.
These 50,000 cavalry is the strongest lineup of the Han Dynasty, but it has been guarding Chang'an City, which is really a bit of a waste.
If Li Jian or Xue Ren were allowed to lead these 50,000 troops to the expedition, they would be able to forcibly stop the Evil King and the King of Hutu in the west of the river and prevent them from taking a step to the east.
"General Wei, General Li Jian and General Li Fu, the commander of the guard, have arrived."
A Changshi Peng's subordinate came to Zhang Yuan and said.
"Let them come in directly."
"Whoa."
When Li Jian came in, his face was excited.
And Li Fu was nervous, of course, there was also a trace of excitement.
"The last general will meet General Wei."
"The two of you don't have to give courtesy, the first rule of General Wei's Mansion is that you don't have to stick to vulgar etiquette in the army."
"Whoa." 8090
Zhang Yuan didn't have time to talk to Li Jian for the first time, but looked Li Fu up and down.
Li Fu has a kind of roughness of a northern man, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of loyalty.
"General Li Fu, where are you from?"
"General Huiwei, the last general's family was originally in Xihe County, but after the general and the hussar general subdued the Hetao, they moved the family to their ancestral hometown Yunzhong City, Yunzhong County."
Hearing Li Fu's answer, Zhang Yuan was a little relieved.
When he hears anyone surnamed Li now, he will think that it is related to the Li family in Longxi.
Zhang Yuan feels that the probability of a surname becoming famous is definitely related to how many people have that surname.
There are many people with the surname Li, which always creates an illusion for Zhang Yuan that there are people with the surname Li everywhere.
"It turned out to be a man in the clouds, and I said that he was a man from the north at first glance.
I usually hear people praise your bravery occasionally, but this time His Majesty allowed me to order the general, so I picked you.
Although you and I have never met before, I hope there will be no estrangement between you and me. ”
After the last general learned the news, he was always thinking about how to repay General Wei for his kindness.
The adults in the family warned the last general that only killing more Huns on the battlefield was the way to repay the favor.
Since the time of King Wuling of Zhao, the Li clan in Yunzhong has been stationed in Yunzhong City to fight against the Xiongnu Loufu King.
At the beginning of Emperor Gaozu's establishment of the Han Dynasty, my Han was weak, and I had no choice but to give up the Hetao, and my Li family was forced to move south.
I heard that the general and the big Sima were going to fight against the king of Loufu, but the last general was full of blood but had no chance to fight.
At present, General Wei gives the last general a chance to fight, and the last general must live up to General Wei's kindness, respect my father's entrustment on the battlefield, remember the heroic soul of the ancestors, and swear to die with the Huns! ”
Zhang Yuan didn't expect Li Fu to be such a person who could speak.
How long has this been a grievance?
Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that he had not chosen the wrong person, and what Li Fu said was definitely not false.
Most of the families of these famous generals of the Han Dynasty are in the border counties, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, and the most bloody people are in the northern border counties.
Conscription has a natural advantage.
Most people have a natural hatred for the Hu people.
There are not a few families like Li Fu who have a century-old hatred with the Xiongnu.
"Well, General Ben believes in you.
But General Ben brought you over from His Majesty, not just for you to fight on the battlefield.
Commander of the general, commander of the general.
For the generals, they should be able to win in battle, and not let the soldiers die in vain.
There are many things that you need to learn, including Li Jian and Xue Ren. ”
"Hahaha, is General Wei teaching his subordinates a lesson?"
As soon as Zhang Yuan's words fell, a hearty laugh came from outside, and then he saw Zhang Cigong walk in.
"I haven't seen you for a long time."
"The last general will meet General Wei."
Zhang Cigong's status is not much lower than Zhang Yuan, so he is naturally much more relaxed than others.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be wronged this time, and the shore marquis is under my command."
Zhang Yuan gave his own family a haha, wanting to see his attitude.
"General Wei laughed, if there is no Da Sima and General Wei, I am afraid that the last general will still be in command of the border counties, whether he can return to Chang'an in this life is still two words, let alone being a marquis now, accompanied by beautiful wines and beauties all day long.
General Wei looked at the last general, and named the last general, and the last general naturally wanted to work for General Wei.
Anyway, General Wei asked the last general to go east, and the last general definitely did not run in other directions. ”
"Okay, with the words of the Marquis of the shore, I am relieved.
The first merit of this expedition must be yours on the shore! ”
"Then thank you General Wei for your appreciation."
Zhang Yuan said that the other three have a lot to learn, and the best learning object is Zhang Cigong.
But Zhang Cigong's informal temperament couldn't be learned, and Zhang Cigong was also planted on it in the future.
A person can survive the purge of the government, and finally become a general of the Han Dynasty, and now he is a marquis.
It is already a miracle to say that Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing climbed up from a slave.
But climbing up from a river thief is another miracle, although it is not as inspirational as making a fortune as a slave, but that attitude towards the world is also worth learning from others.
Zhang Yuan said that he would give Zhang Cigong the first credit, and there is another meaning, in this battle, the vanguard must be Zhang Cigong's can't escape.
Li Jian and Xue Ren were the pioneers, and Zhang Yuan was afraid that these two goods would be slaughtered.
As for Li Fu, although his mouth is very powerful now, he hasn't seen his true ability yet.
Only Zhang Cigong can take it out and sacrifice it, even if he gets a lot of credit, it doesn't matter, what should be his is his.
"When everyone arrives, then General Wei's Mansion Governor Shi will be decided.
General Ben felt that it was most appropriate for the gate servant to shoot Li Jian. ”
Li Jian hadn't talked to Zhang Yuan since he came in with Li Fu, and now he was suddenly entrusted with an important task by Zhang Yuan, and the whole person was a little uncomfortable, looking around at the three people around.
Zhang Yuan was also looking at the appearance of other people, but Zhang Cigong didn't care about this position at all, what he wanted was to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy and gain combat merits.
As for Li Fu, he knew that he had the worst relationship with Zhang Yuan here, so he didn't think that this position could fall on him.
The only one who was dissatisfied was Xue Ren.
"General, didn't you say that the position of the last general and General Li Jian was again?"
"I said, you're a general.
Li Jian said it again, didn't he say it now. ”
Xue Ren suddenly had a feeling of being pitted.
But he didn't dare to talk back to Zhang Yuan, he had experienced Zhang Yuan's awesomeness.
The whipping many years ago, Xue Ren still can't forget it.
In this way, Li Jian is the governor of General Wei's mansion, and all official affairs in the mansion are handled by Li Jian.
The most important thing in these three days is to gather the personnel, 50,000 people, five captains, and five military commanders, and let them lead the troops to stop outside Chiyang City and then come to see me.
In addition, the materials must be brought, 50,000 cavalry, the Qimen Army and the Yulin Army will bring all the original equipment.
The rest of the cavalry was each dressed in armor, which was the bare minimum, carrying a bow and crossbow, a sword, and each armed with three spears. ”
"Spear?"
Zhang Cigong directly issued a rhetorical question.
"Yes, three spears."
"But this will greatly increase the burden on our army."
"I have my own intentions."
Seeing Zhang Yuan so insisting, Zhang Cigong stopped talking.
"Li Jian, you go directly to the Zhongjun Mansion to ask for it, and now we will focus on the needs of cavalry.
We only need to bring enough food to support us to Shuofang County, and then replenish it from Shuofang County. ”
"The last general commands!"
The reason why Zhang Cigong had such a big reaction when he heard that Zhang Yuan was going to bring a spear was entirely because the spear was a weapon for foot soldiers.
A spear was five or six meters anyway, and the cavalry used a spear only for those heavy cavalry in Europe.
The Qin spear was six meters long.
No matter how short the Han spear is, it is not as short as five meters, but the cost of the spear is high, and the Han Dynasty has rarely produced spears since the Qin Dynasty.
Because the range of the bow and crossbow is much farther than the range of the spear, and the spear and halberd are lighter and easier to use than the spear, the spear will naturally be eliminated.
Zhang Yuan asked for 150,000 spears at once, not to mention emptying Chang'an's armory, it is estimated that it is about the same.
Zhang Yuan's desire for these spears is naturally of great use.
