Li Ling lost the last chance to wash his name.

He blatantly commanded the Xiongnu army as the commander of the Huns and captured Luntai.

This is an act that Tai Shi Gong can't wash away even if he writes ten more touching articles!

Liu Xun said with a pale face: "Huang Xie, publish this military report to the world, and then send someone to the Li family on the right, and engrave this military newspaper into an inscription in front of the tomb of the late Taishi Ling, so that Sima Qian can take a good look underground, this is the loyal minister and good general written in his book, and then send someone to change the identity of the retainer of the Liu family of the Sima family, and let them move out of Shiqu Pavilion immediately!! ”

"Oh, the slave will do it!" Huang Xie commanded

The rapid collapse of the wheel platform led to a series of chain reactions.

One of the most important points is that the fulcrum of the Han army in the Western Regions is gone.

Without the support of Luntai, Li Guangli's army lost the possibility of encircling and annihilating the main force of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions.

Because the other party is no longer bound, the initiative of the war has returned to the opponent.

Now, the one who can choose the battlefield has become the Huns!

They can go to war in Luntai, they can also fight in the Tianshan Mountains, they can even choose to hunt with the Han army in a certain kingdom in the Western Regions, and they can also choose to retreat.

And Li Guangli had to bet on the position of the main force of the Huns.

If you make a mistake, not only will your efforts be in vain, but you may also expose flaws, giving the Huns a chance!

And gambling has always required luck.

If you make a mistake, you will lose everything!

Therefore, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become a mess.

The government and the opposition were also in a panic.

In Jianzhang Palace, it is full of impetuous atmosphere.

Civil officials are like this, listening to the wind is rain, and they like to make up their brains and scare themselves the most.

Of course, they can't be blamed for that!

Inside the Greenhouse Hall.

The military meeting had been going on all night, and to this day, it has not been adjourned.

Liu Xun looked at the ministers in front of him with red eyes, and the anger in his heart was like lava about to erupt from the crater!

Today's situation is already developing in the direction of being extremely unfavorable to the Han army.

The pre-war plan is now completely collapsed.

In the original assumption, Luntai City was high and strong, and the Huns might not be able to capture it even in dozens or hundreds of days, let alone a few days!

Which Cheng thought, but in a few days, Luntai City was broken by the Huns with artillery wagons and repeated attacks at any cost.

The defender Li Sheng was killed in battle, and only more than 2,000 remnants broke through.

The remaining defenders were either captured or killed.

The fall of Luntai created the most serious defeat of the Han army since the fall of Li Ling's corps, and became the top five miserable defeats in the history of the Han army!

And that's not all.

As soon as Luntai fell, the Han army's Hexi strategy immediately came to a stalemate.

The disadvantages and drawbacks of two-front operations are immediately highlighted!

Because of the two-front battle, the court needed to send double the amount of materials, personnel, and ordnance to Hexi, and it was necessary to maintain two sets of logistics forces.

Moreover, the two-front operation dispersed the resources and forces of Hexi.

No matter how much you mobilize materials and concentrate your forces in the direction of the Western Regions, it will be greatly reduced.

This is something that children know - when a person needs to face two people, even if those two people are much smaller and thinner than themselves, their attention and strength will inevitably be distracted, so there is a folk proverb: two fists are hard to beat four hands!

It's a pity that at that time, no one cut this at all.

Yes was also ignored.

From the Son of Heaven to the ministers, and even the generals and captains on the front line, they don't think there is any problem in fighting the Huns and Qianghu at the same time!

Huns?

Just now by a fledgling young man pressed to the ground rubbing, even its dragon city was occupied by the Han army, and held a grand military parade and memorial ceremony in it, even its holy mountain was captured by the Han army, once again became a place for the Han army to show off their martial arts.

His mother, Yan, fled into Yanran Mountain with her tail between her legs, and King Youxian was captured, and the entire left wing of Mobei was almost swept away by the Han army.

In the end, the Han army retreated in front of the main cavalry of the Xiongnu with booty and prisoners.

The Huns did not even dare to pursue, and had to obediently return the Han envoys, Han soldiers, Han merchants, and Han people who had always been captured, captive, and detained.

The iron hooves of the Han Empire completely crushed the Huns!

Now, the Han army is an elite division of the world, and it is fighting a part of the Western Regions of the Xiongnu, and no one thinks there is any problem?

As for Qianghu?

It's simpler.

Many people even think that it only takes a few days, or at most half a month, to cut off the heads of these wastes!

But the fact is that until three days ago, the Lingju side was still fighting fiercely.

As a result, fighting on two fronts became a nightmare.

It's not just logistical, it's a nightmare for governance!

Anyone who has played RTS games knows that when a base is destroyed by the enemy's main force, and the enemy is occupying favorable terrain and hiding behind the fog of war, the wise players will forget about the lost base, withdraw their main force, and hurry up to seize new resource points.

In reality, this is even more so.

The gains and losses of one time and one place are nothing at all.

The key is to preserve the vital strength of our army and preserve the war potential of our army.

Liu Xun just had this thought, but then he shook his head and muttered to himself in his heart: "This is impossible!" ”

"Luntai has fallen, my people have fallen into the hands of Hu Lu, if I see death and do not save it, what face will I have above all the countries and people in the world, and what face will I have to explain to Emperor Gao, Taizong, and Emperor Xian?"

"Since ancient times, a gentleman has taken revenge, and if he has the ability, he will repay it on the spot!"

At this time, Han Zeng had already thought of a countermeasure, so he stepped forward and bowed: "Since this is the case, the minister dares to suggest that Your Majesty and the Huns exchange sons!" ”

"Duzi?" Liu Xunqi was surprised: "How to redeem it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the wheel platform is far away from the side wall, although it is placed on the main road of the Western Regions, but in our dynasty, it actually has little effect...... Han Zeng said.

It's a fact!

Luntai Fortress, far away from the Han Dynasty, is located in the Jixian Water Basin, more than 1,000 miles away from Yumen.

Its strategic role, in fact, is more disgusting to the Huns.

At least for now.

For the Han family, maintaining such an enclave is actually a huge loss.

Han Zeng raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven, and said: "The minister suggests that the Hexi army immediately turn around, wave the army to Bailongdui, take the land of the Xiongnu Cheshi, invade the Pu countries, and even establish counties and counties, build border walls, and bring the entire Puchanghai into the control of our dynasty!" ”

"In this way, our dynasty will control the strategic place where the Xiongnu enter and exit the northern Western Regions, and if there is a chance in the future, seize the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and even cut off the connection between the Xiongnu Mobei and the Western Regions!"

"And now, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"The main force of the Xiongnu is all at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and Puchanghai, more than a thousand miles apart, and the main force of our army has been out of Yumen, Juyan, if the second division chooses to give up the march to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains at this time, and instead chooses the Puchanghai area, in order to seize Bailongdui, capture the Cheshi, Pu countries as the strategic goal, then the Xiongnu will be hit more violently than the fall of Luntai in our dynasty!"

Pu Changhai is the Lop Nur of later generations.

In this era when the Tarim River was not diverted and continued to flow into Lop Nur through its southern tributaries, the entire Puchang Sea was an oasis and a prosperous place of agriculture in the Western Regions for hundreds of miles.

Because of Puchanghai, the barren Gobi and desert in later generations are now also a paradise for life and prosperity.

The Xiongnu entered the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains from Mobei through Puchanghai and the Pu States behind them, and then controlled the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains to rule the Western Regions.

If the Han army took this area, for the Xiongnu, its lifeline would be threatened by the Han army.

From then on, if they wanted to enter and leave the Western Regions at will, they would be attacked and monitored by the Han army.

It can even be said that if the Puchanghai and the Pu states at the foot of the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains were controlled by the Han army, the Xiongnu would probably be divided into two parts - the Xiongnu in the Western Regions and the Xiongnu in Mobei.

Liu Xun listened, his eyes burning, obviously moved.

However, Liu Xun thought about it again and again, and still shook his head firmly: "If you abandon the wheel platform and take the land of the driver, I am afraid that the world will be light!" ”

For the Son of Heaven of the Liu family, revenge must be avenged, and hatred must be repaid, which is a natural and righteous truth.

Procrastination is not his character either!

In the final analysis, it is because he wants to see the results as soon as possible, and in his hands as soon as possible, to end this protracted war that has lasted for hundreds of years.

In order to make himself above the history, leave a strong stroke.

Merits and achievements, surpassing our fathers and ancestors!

Therefore, it is almost as difficult to make him give up the plot of fighting a decisive battle with the main force of the Xiongnu Western Regions in the Western Regions, near Luntai, and at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and to decide the affairs of the Western Regions in a battle, almost as difficult as convincing him that there is no miracle medicine of immortality in the world.

Of course, the outside world is afraid of the outside world, especially Siyi's 'light man' has also accounted for a certain proportion since then.

Han Zeng had no choice but to persuade: "Your Majesty, if Wang Shi takes the land of Bailongdui and Cheshi, he can use this as a hostage to negotiate with the Xiongnu to redeem the fallen soldiers of Luntai......"

The Son of Heaven was iron-hearted, shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind, don't say anything more!" ”

"The battle of Luntai is like an arrow from the string, and it is imperative!"

"Qing Zhixiao said, now, what is the way to force the main force of the Huns to fight a decisive battle with me!"

Han Zeng was surprised, because, although this majesty is stubborn and stubborn, he is not the kind of iron Hanhan who can't listen to opinions and can't distinguish between right and wrong.

In other words, it's ...... There is a problem.

Thinking of this, Han Zeng had no choice but to bow and say: "Your Majesty, if the royal division wants to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, then in the opinion of the ministers, the general of the second division should not divide the troops!" ”

"The main force of the Wang Division needs to be gathered in one place, and the distance and depth between the front and rear cannot exceed three hundred miles, so as to facilitate rescue at any time!"

"The king should be steady, not rash, not greedy, and the daily march distance should not exceed 60 miles......"

"From Loulan to the north, lined up, gradually advancing, approaching the Xiongnu Yanlu and Wei Li, the enemy will be saved!"

"In this way, the main force of the Xiongnu will have to fight with our army at the foot of the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains!"

In their opinion, Zhang Zizhong's strategy can even be thought of by children.

It's so simple that it's despised.

It's all about burning with grain, gold, and cloth.

According to his words, the main force of the Han army gathered in an area 300 miles deep, and rushed forward step by step at the speed of 60 miles a day.

An army of more than 100,000 people, plus three or four times as many people, stretched into a long long line.

The Huns really will be helpless about this.

However, I'm afraid that it won't burn for a few months, and the money and grain of Shaofu and Dasi Nong will be burned out!

However, everyone only heard the Son of Heaven laugh and said, "Han Qing's method, I think it is feasible!" ”

"It's a big deal, I will suspend the imperial mausoleum project, reduce the palace expenses, and reduce the rewards for officials......" His Majesty stood up and said: "Emperor Xiaowu was in the middle of the middle of the two Dawans, didn't he come over like this?" ”

The other ministers were dumbfounded and raised their heads in disbelief.

At the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the capital of the king of Qiuzi is Yancheng.

The grand celebration banquet has lasted for several days.

The Huns vied with each other, and wine and beef and mutton were available everywhere as if they didn't need money, and they were allowed to be used by the Hun soldiers.

And in the royal palace, the sages are even more complacent.

Since the capture of Luntai, he immediately sent people to Mobei to publicize this matter.

Feedback has now been received.

Among the four major clans, the Subu clan and the Huyan clan have already sent their clans to congratulate him on the way here.

This means that two of the four major clans in Mobei have already fallen to him.

And within the Twin Clan, wavers abound.

The Huns are like this, whoever is strong will follow whomever they want.

At the beginning, Yin Zhi was oblique and single, and this is how he got to the top.

Now, he can also copy Yin Zhi's path of slanting Danyu!

Now, the only obstacle is when Fox Lugu died.

Thinking of this, the sages couldn't help frowning.

According to the information he had, Hulugu's physical condition seemed to have improved a lot in the past month or so.

That's not going to work!

This winter, the fox deer girl must die!

He didn't want to wait until next year, after all, there were many dreams at night!

"Tu Lu!" A nobleman came over, knelt down and bowed: "The Outuo cavalry has just sent back information that the Han people's second division general has stationed its main force north of Loulan, south of Duanshui, and has not ......moved so far."

Hearing this, the sages laughed, and said, "It seems that the prestige of King Jiankun has frightened this Zheng Ji!" ”

And all the people in the temple laughed when they heard this.

Because of the information asymmetry between the Han and the Hungarians, the Xiongnu side still did not know that after the fall of Luntai, the Xiongnu side quickly sent an envoy to reprimand Li Guangli and ordered Zheng Ji to shrink his forces.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Huns, this was their own capture of Luntai, which frightened the Han people and made them dare not march.

Even if the higher-ups know in their hearts, this may not be the case.

But it doesn't prevent them from taking this out and bragging.

After all, the herdsmen and samurai of the lower classes still eat this set very much.

"Tu Hao, now that the Han people are afraid of our army, can we withdraw our troops?" Someone stood up and asked.

The harsh winter in the Western Regions is coming soon.

Especially at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, heavy snow will fall within a month.

If you don't retreat, everyone will be frozen.

The sage shook his head and said, "You can't withdraw yet!" ”

If it is withdrawn now, it is equivalent to giving up the entire northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the Han people, and with the infrastructure capacity of the Han people, by the spring of next year, Luntai City will appear in front of the Huns as it is.

This is unacceptable to the current sages.

After the capture of Luntai, the sage's appetite suddenly grew.

He hoped that he could wrestle with the Han people here.
