At dusk, Xu Xiangru took people and found Zhang Yue, and reported: "Shizhonggong, the scout sent in advance has completed the task and returned to the ......."

Behind him......

More than a dozen knights wearing Han army armor, but with thick hair and white skin, deep noses and high eyes, leaned forward and bowed their heads.

It was the captured Hujie, and if anyone who knew him well was here, they would surely recognize them - all nobles!

This is also normal.

Ordinary people, what qualifications are there to be the leading party?

People who do not hold power and resources, even if they want to be themselves, others will not want them.

is like Wei Lu, he fled to the Xiongnu, and immediately became the king of Ding Ling and became a powerful nobleman.

There is also Li Ling, who surrendered with a nod and is the king of Jiankun, who is only his son-in-law.

And what about the others?

For example, Li Xu, the general of the Han army who was killed by Li Lingqian.

It's just an ant, Li Ling killed it with a knife, and the Huns had to say that they killed it well!

And other soldiers with a lower status than Li Xu are afraid that they will even have to fight for the qualification to be slaves and maids!

This is the truth of this world!

Of course, not just any nobleman is qualified to be the leader of the party and get the opportunity to surrender.

Just like these callers, if there was no Wei Lu, Zhang Yue would have cut them all one by one.

It is precisely because of the existence of Weilu that Zhang Yue needs to carry out strategic deception.

So, they were given a chance to show their loyalty to the Han family.

Therefore, to be a leading party, in addition to being in a high position, holding resources and power, you must also be useful to others.

If it's just rice worm waste, who wants it?

The country has a lot of money, do you keep it for fun?

It's better to raise a few pet dogs, at least pet dogs will be cute and spoiled.

Obviously, these surrendered nobles are of some use.

And they are all cooperative and submissive.

This is not unexpected.

The nomads, after the defeat of the victors, were very obedient to the victors.

Even comparable to Neon Man.

The aristocracy, in particular, is particularly self-disciplined and interesting.

The same is true of these Hujie nobles, who, after being defeated and captured, quickly obeyed the whips and torture instruments of the Han army.

On the contrary, many of the cavalry at the bottom, even if they were captured, were still unruly and hard-skinned.

"Tell me, who have you met?" Zhang Yue looked at them and asked.

Xu Xiangru repeated Zhang Yue's words to them in Xiongnu language, and then these people immediately rushed to start reporting.

poured out all their 'merits'.

Zhang Yue listened and couldn't help nodding.

His guess was right, Wei Lu did send a large number of scouts and messengers to cross the bow and Lushui and approach south.

Fortunately, he met these leading parties that he had prepared and arranged in advance.

He also sent Han soldiers and Zhushui herdsmen, wearing Hujie's clothes, riding Hujie's war horses, driving livestock, and operating north of Yanze.

When encountering the approaching Hun scouts and envoys, let these nobles come forward to talk.

The content, of course, is carefully fabricated.

It is a joke written by Zhang Yue and Deng Shuang and others after arriving in Luze, based on the confessions of the nobles and combined with reality.

Now, it's up to Wei Lu to see if he will be fooled?

However, even if Wei Lu was not fooled, Zhang Yue had enough information.

Because, in addition to spreading the news that Zhang Yue wanted them to convey, these generals also found a lot of valuable information.

Especially the news that they confessed that Weilu's reinforcements had arrived immediately attracted Zhang Yue's attention!

After arranging these people to rest, Zhang Yue immediately convened a meeting of the officers above the rank of Captain Wuheng and Captain Changshui.

"I just got the information that the Huns' Guyan King Xuyan and his Guyan Wanqi have arrived in the upper reaches of the Gonglu River to return to the division with the Ministry of Defense!" Zhang Yue put a new chess piece into the sand table that had been arranged: "This Guyan King is the younger brother of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Hulugu, second only to his son Zuogu Liwang Huyan and his other cousin Yougu Liwang Xulu Quanqu, and is the absolute core figure of the Ji Congee clan!" ”

As a servant, Zhang Yue's ranking of power in the Xiongnu country, especially the royal family, can be said to be like a treasure.

The Xiongnu royal family, the Han Dynasty is commonly known as the Ji Congee because of the old Ji Congee.

This is because during the reign of Lao Shangdan, the Xiongnu put the greatest pressure on the Han family and challenged the strongest.

But in reality, the surname of Xiongnu Shan Yu is twinning.

The Xiongnu language is pronounced as a plough and a lonely tu.

It means the son of heaven and earth, the ruler of the sun and the moon, and the broad-minded.

And the Twin Clans are not only the Xiongnu royal family, but also the most powerful tribe of the Xiongnu Empire!

The cavalry of the other four major clans combined was only more than the cavalry directly under the Twin Clan.

Not to mention that the Twins themselves have a large number of other branches (branches).

Therefore, the power of the Xiongnu was actually controlled by the twin clans.

However, even in the heyday of the Xiongnu Empire, the power of the Twin Clans never converged under the control of a single strongman.

Even the male lords of Mao Dun and Lao Shang have not completely subdued all the real power factions of their tribes.

For example, the old Shangji porridge Shan Yu, for the rest of his life, there is no way to take his younger brother Youxian Wang.

The military minister Shan Yu also had no way to deal with his cousin, Yin Zhixian, the king of Zuogu Li, and in the end, even after his death, even his son was expelled by Yin Zhixian.

Yin Zhixian is more centralized, because his opposition was killed by Wei Qinghuo......

Including those supporters of Yu Shan who gave him a headache.

Today, the power structure of the Xiongnu Empire is still full of deceit, open and hidden struggles.

There is no need to talk about anything else, just take Su Wu's detention as an example to prove it - why was Su Wu detained? Because his deputy envoy Zhang Sheng contacted two opponents of Hou Shan Yu, they plotted a reactionary coup d'état, detained Hou Hou Shan Yu and his mother, and then negotiated peace with Han.

As a result, the matter was revealed, and all the rebels were killed.

Although Su Wu didn't know, he was still implicated.

If it weren't for Wei Lu's strong recommendation and intercession, it would have been a one-handed thing.

This is also why the Han family has been thinking that Su Wu is dead all these years - murdering Shan Yu, can he still live?

At this time today, the power structure of the Xiongnu Empire has actually been clearly defined.

As the ruling group, the Twins are divided in two.

Shan Yu Hulugu is one faction, and the sun chasing the king is the other faction.

Although Hulugu has an advantage, the strength of the sages should not be underestimated.

At least 50,000 cavalry, plus the forces of the Western Regions under his control, it is still possible to pull out 100,000 troops.

Therefore, the two formed a confrontation in the Tianshan Mountains.

And the Guyan King Xuyan who is coming now, in a strict sense, is the fourth person in the Xiongnu country, and the third heir after Huyan and Xulu Quanqu.

Judging from Zhang Yue's grasp, this Guyan King is even more radical reformist than his brother Hulu Gudanyu.

He and another member of the royal family, Yu Jing Wang Tu Lu, and known as the Xiongnu's Zhihan Shuangjie.

It is different from the indulgence in music and poetry, the love of poetry, the COS Han family doctor everywhere, and even the legend that once pretended to be Jia Yi, Sima Xiangru and Yan Zhu's appearance Tu Ludang.

This Guyan King likes the art of war.

Worship China's Qin Xiaogong, Han Zhaohou, Wei Wenhou, and Wei Wuhou.

It is said that he once ordered a horse skeleton of pure gold to be placed in his vault.

There is an intention to imitate King Yan Zhao to recruit heroic literati and attract Le Yi.

The background of this Guyan king and his status in the Xiongnu country were briefly explained to the generals.

Everyone was in the mood at once!

This is the big boss!

Since the war between the Han and the Hungarians, the highest-ranking nobles of the Xiongnu who were killed and captured were only Shan Yu's uncles and uncles.

The core figure of the Twins has never been killed/captured (the fugitive Yu Shan is not counted).

If the person can be captured or killed, then ......

Everyone drooled and was excited.

This is not as simple as a princely state!

Perhaps, it can be compared to the lucky ones in the battle of Haixia - at the beginning, on the bank of the Wujiang River, after Xiang Yu committed suicide, five lucky people grabbed the parts of Xiang Yu's body.

However, all five of them were crowned!

One of them, who has been rich and noble to this day, is the Yang family of Guan Zhongyin.

But Zhang Yue was not so excited, on the contrary, he was very calm.

"Gentlemen, King Guyan led an army of 4,000, all of them were elite and courageous men of the Huns, and they were the cavalry established by the Huns in order to defend the core of the Dragon City in the north of the Huns!" Zhang Yue said calmly: "This army is different from the Hun cavalry we came into contact with in the old years......

"It is said that all the Xiongnu departments were selected, and the brave and capable soldiers were used as sharp soldiers, with Wusun good horses as horses, and the Han family was reduced to officers, imitating the training and organization of the six captains of the Northern Army, and it was formed!"

"Its equipment is all the ordnance of the Han army, and it is even said that all the staff are equipped with riding crossbows, and they have a large number of halberds and fish scale armor!"

"It can be said that the Huns are alone in the most elite cavalry!"

"Coupled with Wei Lu himself, there are more than 5,000 cavalry, and after converging with the troops of Guyan King Xuyan, Wei Lu's current strength has reached 9,000, close to 10,000!"

"The enemy's strength is already twice as strong as our army!"

The total strength of the Han army is now less than 4,000.

In fact, the number of combatable troops that can be used is not even 3,000! (In the first battle of Huze and the first battle of Qiugu, the Han army suffered very few losses, but the recovery speed of the wounded soldiers was not so fast.) In addition, Yu Ze must leave some troops here to guard, and he needs to reserve a part of his troops as a reserve, so the number of troops that can be put into battle is at most three thousand).

Of course, the actual combat strength of the Huns will not be as exaggerated as nine thousand.

However, relative to the Han army, in terms of numbers, they have an absolute advantage.

"Serving Zhonggong, we can dispatch the cavalry of Nanchi, Zhushui and Hulu as righteous servants!" An officer stood up and said, "It should be possible to replenish at least 3,000 to 5,000 troops!" ”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "What Your Excellency said is indeed true!" ”

......After a slight pause, Zhang Yue said: "Wu Heng is untrained, his combat strength is worrying, even if he recruits 5,000 cavalry, he can only serve as a flank cover for our army......

Want Wuheng people to be the main force?

Refer to the Department of Luxury......

Two or three thousand standing cavalry, tens of thousands of people, and the mother who was beaten by less than 5,000 Hujie cavalry did not know.

Within a few days, he was blocked at the door of his house, and he couldn't even get out.

If the mistake is not to continue to arrive immediately, Zhang Yue can only come to collect the corpse of the Hulu people.

And now, the population loss of the Ministry of Luxury has been clearly counted.

The losses exceeded fifteen thousand people, of which the standing cavalry, only eight hundred people remained alive.

The rest are dead.

And their results?

It was only about killing and wounding three or five hundred Hujie cavalry.

This is still the most powerful clan in the nine tribes of Wuheng!

Replaced by Nanchi and Zhushui people, I'm afraid that when the continuation arrives, I can really only collect the corpses for them!

This is not derogatory, but realistic.

Wuheng people have lived carefree for more than 20 years in Munan.

I have forgotten what war is like.

The fiercest fighting on weekdays is nothing more than relatives grabbing pastures.

How can it compete with the elite Hun cavalry that has been tempered on the Han-Hungarian battlefield?

If they really want to send the Wuheng cavalry to the battlefield, Zhang Yue has no doubt that they may not be able to resist even a single charge of the Hun cavalry, and they will collapse!

Everyone listened, but they all laughed.

Zhang Yue looked at it, waved his hand calmly, and said, "Don't laugh at them!" ”

"Mencius said, born in sorrow and die in peace, born in peace and die in sorrow!"

"Wuheng people are just because they have been happy for too long and don't know the worries, so they have their current performance!"

"If you give them time, you may not be able to become a strong army!"

Of course, in fact, a more reliable explanation is because of the existence of Captain Changshui.

Almost all the strong and elite of the Wuheng tribe were absorbed by Captain Changshui.

The people who remain, no matter how strong they are, are limited.

However, Zhang Yue will not break this point.

On the contrary, he will quietly and vigorously strengthen this trend.

Absorb the talents and elites of Wuheng into the ruling group of the Han Empire.

Let all Wuheng people be proud of serving Han.

They are fortunate to have obtained the household registration of the Han family.

In the end, the entire Wuheng and Munan were thoroughly digested.

"General Continuation! When this battle is over, among the captains of Changshui, the soldiers who were born in Hulu, Zhushui, Nanchi and other departments are all ready, give them holidays, and let them return to their hometowns! Zhang Yue chuckled and said to the continuation: "Wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, such as clothes and brocade at night!" ”

"No!" Xu Xiangru nodded.

Zhang Yue turned his head, continued to look at the sand table, and asked, "Lords, if our army wants to use less than 3,000 mobile troops to wipe out the 9,000 people of the Weilu Corps, what should be the best strategy?" ”

Everyone then gathered their minds and looked at the sand table in front of them.

This is based on the oral accounts of the Hujie prisoners, the old Huo Quai, the Weiqing war report and the reconnaissance of the Han army scouts, the topography of the Gonglu River Basin.

For Gong Lushui, in fact, no one in the Han army is unfamiliar.

Because it was the place of honor of the Han army.

The starting point and climax of the legendary battle of Huo Quzhi.

After nearly twenty-seven years, the Han army once again focused its attention and attention on this area.

Then, they saw the unique topography and wonderful geography of the region.

And what was exposed in front of everyone's eyes was the point where Huo Quai's attack was launched before he crossed the river.

It is also the battlefield where the main force of the Han army and the main force of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King once fought fiercely.

A place called: Yayuan.

And when Zhang Yue saw this place, he knew its place name in later generations: Darigang Love.

All the Central Plains Dynasty, if they want to go north to the desert, must first control and master the strategic places.

The Manchu royal family used to be the farthest royal ranch and forest garden pastoral area.

There is no doubt that the main force of the Ministry of Health and Law is entrenched there.
