Chapter 739 Poor Mountains and Bad Waters Come Out of Hu People
When confronting the Hu people, perhaps because of conceptual reasons, both the emperor and the generals have been greatly restricted in their behavior.
For example, the Han Dynasty did not have much war gains in this ultra-long war against the Xiongnu, but the defeated Xiongnu achieved a great career.
At the beginning, the Northern Xiongnu were defeated by the Han Dynasty, and there was no room for survival in Mobei and the Western Regions, so the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu fled to Wusun with a small number of men and horses, and then moved to Kangju, and then continued to move westward to the Alan Kingdom.
Alan country, also known as Amcai, is north of the Caucasus Mountains, and it is also an area with abundant water and grass, and its national strength is not small, with about 100,000 troops.
After all, the Northern Huns who fled west have seen a big scene, even if they are in exile, the Northern Huns still think that the Alan State is not strong, so they brazenly launched an attack from the east of the Don River, although the Alan State resisted, but in front of the Northern Hun soldiers who have been fighting with the Han Dynasty for many years, they still seem immature, so the army of the Alan State was defeated, the king was captured, and later killed, and the Alan State became the first snowball of the Northern Huns.
The Alans joined the Northern Xiongnu and attacked the Ostrogothic state to the west, and then soon the Ostrogothic state also fell, followed by the Visigothic state......
In the Gothic History of Nice, Jordan, it is recorded that "a hitherto unknown race has emerged from the corners of the distant world, like a blizzard that falls suddenly from the mountains, uprooting and destroying everything that stands in their way...... They are two-legged beasts, descendants of witches and devils......"
Although such a statement could find some spiritual comfort in the defeat of the Goths, it also fueled the arrogance of the Northern Huns, many of whom did not even dare to fight the Northern Huns anymore, but fled to the Roman Empire......
Of course, further on, a figure known as the "Whip of God" appeared, Attila.
With the wars in Northern and Eastern Europe, the Anglo-Saxons could not bear the pressure of the Huns, crossed the sea and fled to the British Isles, becoming the ancestors of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Huns in the steppes of southern Russia also belonged to Attila, and the Russian forest peoples Slavs and Finns also succumbed, and the Slavs may have entered Western Europe for the first time as "Hun servants" at this time.
Then the whip of God was drawn to the East and West Rome, and even for a long time, the East Rome was Attila's ATM, and from time to time he would withdraw money, and when the East Rome was poor, it turned to the West Rome and began to blackmail the West Rome, and the overwhelmed East and West Rome finally joined forces and launched a huge war that went down in the annals of medieval history......
However, these are all things in the future, and Fei Qian doesn't remember it very clearly, thanks to the blessings of some forums in later generations, when some people argued whether the Han Dynasty was strong or Rome was strong, he knew from other people's accounts that the Northern Huns who were beaten away by the Han Dynasty ran away and ran to Europe to make a threat to the Romans.
The people in this area of the Mongolian Plateau not only stubbornly fought against the Han Dynasty for thirty or forty years, but even the remnants of the country can once again become the "whip of God" that makes the whole of Europe tremble......
Of course, the "Whip of God" did not escape the old can no longer be old routine, just like after the death of the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai, it was a group of dragons without a leader, and the entire Xianbei alliance was suddenly chaotic and fell into many branches that did not belong to each other, and the same empire formed by the huge Northern Xiongnu in Europe also collapsed after the death of Attila.
Fei Qian fused what he remembered with what he knew, and thus came up with a strategy that was different from that of the previous Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu......
Nomads do not have fixed settlements and wealth storage areas like agricultural peoples, so if they want to follow the methods before the Han Dynasty, they often can't keep up with the rhythm of the Hu people, not only can they not effectively fight the Hu people, but they also often take their own troops with labor and money.
And like Yuan Chonghuan's step by step in the later Ming Dynasty, it is like the tower push tactics in StarCraft, and there are great limitations, and it is not good to accidentally miss two fork soldiers, and then it will be GG.
Therefore, the war with the Hu people can not be like a civil war, one city by one to attack and occupy, for the Hu people, although the land of water and grass is similar to the city, but it is not as important as the Han people, and it can still survive in another place, but it is just the difference between a better life and a little worse.
Fei Qian said: "...... In the past, we fought with the Hu people, in fact, we were all making a fuss about the word 'chase', constantly chasing the Hu people, from Yinshan to Beiwangting, although this was also a big victory, but in fact, our own losses were not small, so now I think that maybe we should add the second method......"
Fei Qian bent down his second finger and said, "...... I should add the word 'drive' to drive the Hu people to my use, and drive the Hu people to turn their gaze from the land of China to other regions that are weaker......"
"The Hu people are not monolithic, just like the Xiongnu also have a difference between north and south, the Qiang people also have a difference between east and west, and the same is true for Xianbei, large and small tribes have their own boundaries, so this naturally gives us more opportunities, we can win over some of them, suppress some of them, and let the Hu people who have taken refuge in us help us go around to plunder property and even population ......"
"If it weren't for the Hu camp outside Binh Duong, it would have taken at least twice as long for Binh Duong to recover from its current condition...... And our mining land in Luliang Mountain......" Fei Qian said, and then looked at a few generals, these people may have to stay in the north for a long time because of this battle, and Fei Qian can't stay in the north all the time, in case something happens in other aspects, it still needs to be adjusted, so at present, these three generals may still be scattered to take charge of themselves, therefore, unifying the thoughts of these generals is the most important thing for Fei Qian to do at the moment, so that there will be no things that will pull each other back in the future.
“…… The ideal process should be like this, we win over the Hu people who are willing to take refuge in us, give them weapons, help them attack, let them have sweetness, and then we have to collect a certain amount of war dividends...... Well, that is, possessions and captives...... Naturally, our wealth is used to develop and replenish our attrition, while the captives are partly used to replenish our combat strength, and partly to be used for labor...... It's a waste to kill them all......"
“…… Building roads, mining, transporting supplies, building infrastructure, etc., all require human ...... And we Han people are to do a good job of overall deployment and balance...... Don't force these captives to desperation, give them some food and clothing, just kill those who dare to resist, and then give them some hope, such as being free after five years of work......"
Fei Qian said that the northern land is very wide, which can accommodate more people, and it also needs more people, whether Han or Hu......
