In February of the first two years of Xinmao (19) Hexi soldiers entered the ditch plow, Kezhi, the north captives fled, chased it, and to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the thief Li Ling ambushed the soldiers, suddenly attacked, the general of the chariot cavalry and the general and the battle, three days without stopping, is to return the division of the ditch plow......

Looking at these words, Han Zeng clenched his fists!

Although, the documents did not say anything about the results of the battle, nor did they talk about the losses.

But Han Zeng could guess with his ass that Zhang Anshi was afraid that he had planted a big heel, and the loss was not small!

Otherwise, even if it is just a draw, this war report should list all kinds of data to boast and promote.

Just like last time, when Zhang Anshi attacked the Huns, captured a large number of livestock, and captured a large number of Huns, the battle reports and official documents really blew into the sky.

portrayed generals such as Zhang Anshi and Fan Mingyou as heroes who are invincible and invincible, and have frequent tricks.

It seems that the new military god of the Han Dynasty is already rising.

And now, Zhang Anshi has won Wei Li, but he has not blown his record and brainwashed him......

If this is not a big heel, and it may be a big heel that cannot be concealed, will Zhang Anshi and his subordinates blow it?

Han Zeng didn't even need to look at the information to investigate, he could guess what mistakes Zhang Anshi probably made?

First of all, arrogance is certain.

If he wasn't arrogant to a certain extent, how could he risk chasing the Huns in such a season after taking Quli City?

Secondly, his troops are definitely out of touch!

If it is in accordance with the deployment of Chang'an, advancing step by step, holding groups left and right, even if Li Ling plays a flower, he will be helpless against the main force of the Han army.

Only the front and rear of the Han army were disjointed, and even the forward showed a serious disconnection.

Coupled with being ambushed by the Huns, problems may arise.

Speaking of which, it's also funny!

Since the Yuan Ding, almost all the setbacks and defeats encountered by the Han army on the battlefield are inseparable from the arrogant and arrogant light enemy attack, and then * into the Xiongnu ambush circle.

Zhao Ponu was defeated in the Hun River, Li Ling was defeated in Junji Mountain, Li Guangli was defeated in Hexi, and now Zhang Anshi may repeat the mistakes of the past.

It really confirms the saying that the only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that it has never learned a lesson!

In the words of later generations, the essence of human beings is a repeater.

Falling into the same pit again and again.

Thinking of this, Han Zeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Zhang Anshi...... It's over! ”

If he was really taken advantage of by Li Ling, once the news was transmitted back to Chang'an, judging from Han Zeng's understanding of the current son and the prime minister, the leaders of the two empires would not give Zhang Anshi a chance at all!

What awaits Zhang Anshi and his subordinates is probably a storm!

Thinking of this, Han Zeng suddenly remembered another thing, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Fan Mingyou and said to him: "General Fan, immediately go to the barracks to pass on my general's order, and order the whole army to immediately enter combat readiness!" ”

"Feed the horses, polish the knives, check all ordnance, especially the horseshoe!"

"Tell Tian Guanghan to be ready to deal with special situations at any time!"

He had to guard against it, and the Huns were only at risk of attacking!

Although, this possibility is very small and very small.

However, the military spirit of the Hexi Army must be settled, otherwise it will be unimaginable.

What's more, Zhang Anshi's army is complex.

In addition to the elite of his headquarters, there are also county soldiers from various counties in the state.

These people will not follow Zhang Anshi to rebel.

Moreover, even in his headquarters, not all of them may obey Zhang Anshi's orders!

Seeing that Fan Mingyou was about to ride his horse to the barracks, Han Zeng said to Fan Mingyou: "General Fan, please organize a messenger immediately, take my order, go to Wuwei, Xiutu, Dunhuang, Jiuquan counties, contact the captains and captains of the counties, and order them to gather militia in case of emergency!" After that, troops were immediately sent to support the front line, and this battle could not be won."

In addition to having full power over Hehuang, the Son of Heaven also authorized him to 'control and annex states, proclaim Hexi, and supervise the internal and external military', and he also had the privilege of serving in emergencies.

Theoretically, Han Zeng could take over the military and political power of the entire Bingzhou at any time, including Beidi, Anding, Jiuyuan, and Shuofang, and had the right to dispose of all officials and nobles under the two thousand stone in the jurisdiction.

When Fan Mingyou heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

Han Zeng looked at Fan Mingyou's figure and sighed: "I hope Zhang Anshi can still be reasonable!" ”

He didn't want to brave the wind and snow in such a cold weather and cross thousands of miles to wipe Zhang Anshi's ass!

It's not that he's afraid, but he doesn't want the young soldiers under his command and Zhang Anshi to shed blood and sacrifice senselessly!

………………………………………………

At this time, the atmosphere in the city of Quli was quite delicate.

Zhang Anshi had locked himself up in the old palace of Wei Li for three full days.

For three days, he spent every day in entanglement and pain, and the past ten days were like a nightmare for him.

Let him fall directly from the top of the mountain to the boundless ground

Prison!

Just ten days earlier, he had led his army to plough the city and fought fiercely with the Xiongnu.

The Huns who beat cried and shouted for their mothers, and threw away their armor.

In just half a day, the army was like a bamboo, and attacked the city of Quli.

beheaded several big Hun households, and even captured the two subordinates and several uncles of the Xiongnu Richai King Xianxian.

The small shrimp such as the King of the Canals and the King of the Dangerous Beard were all crushed by the Han army.

Just around the canal plow, the Han army beheaded more than 4,000 people and captured 10,000.

Li Ling, the commander of the Huns, with his tail between his legs, led the remnants of the defenders who left the city and the mountains of grain and grass in the city and hundreds of thousands of livestock outside the city, and fled towards the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, trying to escape back to the south of the Tianshan Mountains.

Thinking about it now, Zhang Anshi knew that it was a complete trap.

The Huns were near the canal plow, except for Li Ling's 10,000 cavalry, the rest were either servant troops from the Western Regions or other cannon fodder that they didn't know where to deceive.

It's just that at that time, Zhang Anshi was carried away by the victory.

After finishing his work in one battle, the temptation of capturing and killing Li Ling and even the sages made him lose his calm.

Therefore, before the city of Quli was completely taken, he first sent cavalry to pursue.

The next day, he personally led the captain of Juyan and the light cavalry of the Hexi army to launch a pursuit of Li Ling.

Plough from the canal to the west, all the way to the mountains at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Outcome......

The Huns had already gathered all their forces locally!

At least 30,000 elites, ambushed in dense forests and canyons.

When Zhang Anshi led his troops into the encirclement, he suddenly killed.

These Huns gave up their war horses and instead used strong bows to shoot and kill the Han cavalry under the cover of the dense forest.

Even if Zhang Anshi led the elite of the Han army, he was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, the Han army has a wealth of experience.

There was no need for Zhang Anshi to give an order, and at the time of the attack, the cavalry of all units immediately reacted.

They took the team as a unit, with the help of the cover of war horses and chariots, and used the horned bows and crossbow machines they carried with them to shoot at the Huns.

At the same time, there were also people who organized cavalry to fight back.

At one time, the Han army and the Huns fought fiercely in the snowy fields that stretched for dozens of miles at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Even suppressed the Huns.

However......

The climate helped the Huns a lot.

That night, the war rested for a while, suddenly heavy snow fell, and the temperature plummeted, even though the Han army made countless measures, and even learned from the Huns, digging snow in the snow as a hole to avoid the cold.

However, frostbite and freezing death still abound.

Even the number of dead and wounded from the bitter cold has exceeded the losses of the daytime battle.

What's even worse is that because of the lack of prevention, a large number of war horses were frozen to death, which greatly reduced the mobility and combat ability of Zhang Anshi's troops!

Small kiosk app

On the other hand, the Huns, although the cold weather, also hit them hard.

However, they themselves are more adapted to such weather than the Han army.

Moreover, they had been prepared for a long time, and built a large number of cold protection facilities in the dense forests and canyons, and prepared a considerable amount of fuel and mare's milk wine to ward off the cold.

Therefore, the next day, the Xiongnu army could still attack the Han army in an organized manner.

However, Zhang Anshi's troops could only resist while gathering and waiting for reinforcements.

But at the critical moment, the appearance of a Wusun cavalry of no more than 3,000 people made Zhang Anshi almost desperate!

He once thought that the Wusun and the Huns had joined forces.

And if that's the case, it's a nightmare for him!

Because, Wusun can at least mobilize more than 30,000 cavalry to participate!

Fortunately, the Wusun cavalry didn't know what the reason was, only those more than 3,000 people.

Therefore, Zhang Anshi can still persevere.

However, it also paid a heavy price!

After another day of fierce fighting, more than half of the Second Division was killed or wounded, and the three lieutenant units of Juyan Commander were completely incapacitated.

Almost all the horses were frozen to death and frostbitten, and they had no strength to continue fighting.

The arrows and dry food he had carried were also about to be eaten.

At that time, Zhang Anshi even wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, follow-up reinforcements finally arrived.

In the case of the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army, the Huns also accepted it when they saw it, gradually disengaged from the Han army, and disappeared into the dense forest and the sea of snow.

When the siege was lifted, Zhang Anshi turned around and counted the dead and wounded.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat.

In this battle, his trump card, the Second Division Army, who had followed him in the southern and northern wars for many years, died and froze to death more than 3,000 in battle, and more than 2,000 were killed and frozen to death in Juyandu!

And the rest of the army, almost everyone was wounded.

More than half of the soldiers have lost one or more fingers and toes forever, and many have frozen their ears off.

The Hexi Army has lost seventy percent of its war horses forever!

The Liao Protector Army also lost at least sixty percent of its horses!

What does this mean?

Zhang Anshi knows it too well!

The elite ace that he was proud of and relied on has now been declared incapacitated.

As long as this matter reaches Chang'an......

The consequences are unimaginable!

Just need to refer to the story before and after Li Ling's defeat of Junji Mountain, Zhang Anshi knows that his good days are over.

The Emperor of the Han Family......

That's a notoriously unsympathetic!

Not to mention a defeated general like him.

Even Li Guangli back then, his sister, Mrs. Li, who was loved by thousands of people and known as 'a smile for the city, and then a smile for the country', had to do everything she could to prevent Emperor Xiaowu from seeing her when she was dying!

Why?

Because, Li Guangli's sister knows too well and understands today.

That's a Yan dog!

And it's a face dog who only thinks about and likes beautiful women!

Women are generally out of shape, and they will abandon them like shoes!

is like Empress Chen who is in the golden house, and like Empress Wei, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Da Li who once called for wind and rain in those years......

When it's beautiful and cute, I'm afraid of breaking it in my mouth, and I'm afraid of falling when I hold it in my palm.

Give what you want, you should do anything.

However, once you get old and decay, the former grace will disappear completely.

What's even more troublesome is that as long as something doesn't go his way, then he will immediately turn his face.

The former favorite concubine will know what it means to 'the world is hot and cold, and the people are warm and cold' in just a few days, and then they will quickly fall into the abyss!

So are women!

The Minister is in a similar pattern.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the ditch plow, Zhang Anshi locked himself up.

Half of it is self-blame!

After all, the cavalry of the Hexi Army and Juyan Duwei are all the elites of the Han Empire, and most of the elites trained and brought out by themselves are the children of Guanzhong.

Zhang Anshi, who is a native of Guanzhong, has deep feelings, and now he has lost most of it all at once, and the rest have become semi-disabled.

In good conscience he simply couldn't accept it.

And the other half is fear!

He is well aware of the situation he is facing!

Although it seems that now he, the general of the chariot and cavalry, has won a great victory strategically.

Not only did he overfulfill the pre-war task - to recapture Luntai and repel the enemy of the Xiongnu, but also to link the north of the Tianshan Mountains and the Prancing Horse, bringing the entire northern Tianshan Province under the control of the Han army.

However, this final setback could wipe out all the gains.

Zhang Anshi knew very well that if the battle damage data was transmitted back to Chang'an.

The angry Son of Heaven and the ruthless Prime Minister are afraid that they will tear him apart alive!

And public opinion in the world will also surge.

Who called him just a relational of 'just a county guard, but His Majesty has pulled out the seedlings and helped him'?

Who told him that he had never really proven himself, but he had occupied the top military general of the empire for more than ten years?

The world has been suffering for a long time, just waiting for a catharsis.

Locking himself in this palace of the canal plough king, Zhang Anshi thought about it for three days and three nights.

He finally figured out one thing, that is, if he wants to continue to live, or even continue to stay on the stage of Masaji, then he needs to have the support of someone.

That person is - Zhang Zizhong!

Now, in the world, the only one who can save him is Prime Minister Huo Guang.

But......

Why did the other party save him?

Asking himself, Zhang Anshi felt that if he got along with each other, the other party would fall into such an encounter as himself.

I'm afraid that if I can not fall into the well, I will already be a gentleman of the ancients, with the style of Confucius and the sage of Mencius!

So......

One must take something in exchange for the support and endorsement of the other party.

So what is there in this world that can impress Huo Guangna, who has been knighted as a candidate, has thousands of households, is the prime minister of the official residence, has a white name on the left and a yellow Yue on the right, and is also a general?

Zhang Anshi knows very well that for such a character, wealth and women are already floating clouds.

It doesn't even matter if it's powerful.

He, like himself, and all other big people with Masaji ambitions, needs only one thing - Masaji demand.

After thinking about this, Zhang Anshi walked out of the palace of the Quli King.
