Chapter 9: The Invasion of the Huns [No. 7, First Update]

"Report to the lord, a huge cavalry army of about 40,000 people has crossed the western plateau area and is rapidly approaching my Liaodong, according to the clothing of the army, we judge that it is likely to be Hun cavalry!" Long Sanxun came to the meeting hall and reported to Wang Tianjie in time.

"Hun cavalry?" Hearing the news, Guo Jia and others, who were holding a daily routine meeting, were all shocked.

Speaking of the Hun cavalry, we have to talk about the Huns. The nomadic tribes that had always migrated by water and grass united to form the Xiongnu. Because the Xiongnu is a nomadic people, the best thing is to ride and shoot, and the Xiongnu are rich in good horses and horses, so the cavalry of the Xiongnu has always been famous for its strong mobility and terrifying attack power.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Xiongnu, who have gradually become stronger, began to frequently invade the Central Plains in the south, which caused the vassal states, especially the vassal states bordering the Xiongnu, to have a headache, and had to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to build their own Great Wall in order to defend against the Xiongnu.

Even the Qin Dynasty, which was extremely powerful, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, spent amazing manpower, material and financial resources to build the "Great Wall" in the north in order to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, which indirectly led to the powerful Qin Dynasty only existed for a short period of more than 20 years in history.

However, relying on a "Great Wall" alone still could not resist the pace of the Xiongnu's southern invasion.

In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to appease the powerful Xiongnu, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty had to make peace with the Xiongnu many times in exchange for the stability of the Western Han Dynasty, until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, which was strong in national strength, launched a large-scale counterattack against the Xiongnu, and successively sent the generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to hit the Xiongnu three times, and greatly vented a bad anger towards the Xiongnu.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the gradual weakening of national strength, the Xiongnu became strong again, and began to invade the Central Plains and loot again. The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty also had to make peace with the Xiongnu in the early Western Han Dynasty, the most famous of which was the "Zhaojun out of the fortress" during the Han Yuan Emperor.

The reason why the Xiongnu were so strong was because of the large number and strength of the Hun cavalry they had. The Central Plains region was under the influence of the Xiongnu for a long time, so that every time the Xiongnu cavalry went south, the Han Dynasty army all fled, which further fueled the arrogance of the Xiongnu, and they wantonly looted the people of the Han Dynasty in broad daylight, and even robbed the Han Dynasty women for them to call and even insult. And among them, the most famous is a generation of talented women - Cai Wenji, who was robbed by the Hun cavalry to the Huns for more than ten years, but fortunately, she was favored by the Hun Zuoxian King, so the encounter was not very miserable. If this is not the case, with Cai Wenji's beautiful appearance, the tragic fate of the Huns can be imagined.

Similarly, it was precisely based on this situation that the Xiongnu dared to invade Wang Tianjie's Liaodong region on such a blatant scale.

Without further ado.

"Where are they now?" Wang Tianjie Xun came to the topographic model map and asked.

"Judging by the progress of their line, the position of the cavalry should be here now!" Ryuzo stepped forward and pointed on the model map.

"Yes, that's good! Pass my orders immediately: keep a close eye on the Hun cavalry, and report to me as soon as there is any latest movement! Wang Tianjie ordered.

"Yes!" After that, Long Sanxun withdrew from the chamber.

Wang Tianjie planted a blue flag as a mark at the position indicated by the special combat team.

And Guo Jia, Lu Bu and the others also quickly gathered in front of the model and watched carefully.

"What do you think of this information reported by Ryusan?" Wang Tianjie asked first.

As the secretary of the military department, Xu Shu carefully observed and analyzed: "First, the completion of the Jinzhou fortress and the entry of General Zhang led the army to ensure the safety of the southeast of Liaoning. The princes of the Central Plains are now going all out to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, so they have no time to look eastward, and according to the overall topographic map of Liaodong, the best way to enter Liaodong is only through crossing the plateau areas in the east and west of Liaodong.

In addition, even if the number of cavalry exceeds 40,000, even if it is as strong as Yuan Shao, it may not be able to assemble such a large cavalry corps in such a short time. Therefore, the intelligence analysis of the dragon blade should be accurate, whether it is in terms of direction or the scale of the cavalry, only the Huns, who are good at cavalry and archery, have such a huge cavalry force, and only the arrogance and arrogance of the Huns dare to invade our Liaodong in such a fair and honest manner. ”

In the process of Xu Shu's explanation and analysis, Tian Yu and the others kept nodding, obviously agreeing with Xu Shu's point of view.

"Yes!" Wang Tianjie nodded similarly when he heard this, and then asked: "Then what is the purpose of such a large-scale invasion of our Liaodong by the Xiongnu?" ”

"My lord, every time the Xiongnu invade the south, the purpose is to plunder the rich resources of the Central Plains for their livelihood. And the reason why the Xiongnu will invade our Liaodong on a large scale this time. I think there are probably three reasons for this.

First, by observing the celestial phenomena, a major drought occurred in the Mongolian desert last year, which greatly reduced the already weak agricultural output in the Xiongnu region and caused a large number of livestock to die due to lack of water, which may have seriously threatened the survival of the Xiongnu and their tribes.

Second, in the past, the Xiongnu almost always crossed the Great Wall and went south to invade the Central Plains. And now in the Central Plains, due to the extreme decay of the Eastern Han Dynasty, coupled with years of war, the people are not able to make a living, whether it is agriculture or other industries, it can be said that they are in ruins or destroyed, even if the Xiongnu invade the Central Plains, they can not plunder much resources. Moreover, now in the Central Plains, in order to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the Huns will not go to this "troubled water" at this time.

Third, and this is the most important point, that is, under the vigorous advocacy of the lord, our Liaodong region has been rapidly developed both in agriculture and economy, and the people have lived a stable and prosperous life. And our Liaodong is also the closest to the Xiongnu in terms of geographical location, and you can directly enter the Liaodong Plain through the Western Plateau without crossing the Great Wall. More importantly, because the lord was still in Liaodong for a short time, the Huns did not know the strength of the lord and Liaodong.

Therefore, the Xiongnu, who are now in urgent need of provisions, naturally targeted their invasion of our Liaodong. Tian Feng, who had not spoken, analyzed in detail the reasons why the Xiongnu invaded Liaodong.

Through the above careful analysis, it can also be seen that Tian Feng's amazing talent is by no means in vain.

"Huh! It seems that the Huns are treating our Liaodong as a piece of "fat meat" to eat and a piece of "soft persimmon" to pinch, and seeing their huge posture, they are ready to loot our Liaodong! Wang Tianjie nodded to Tian Feng, and then said with some jokes and implicitly murderous intentions.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Humph! The Huns deceived me and no one in Liaodong, and they dared to invade my Liaodong on such a blatant scale, and I, Lu Bu, would definitely make them come and go! Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a sneer.

"Yes, him, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time." Dian Wei echoed loudly.

"Lord, you can give the order!" Zang Ba said the same.

"Hehe, I understand everyone's feelings, the battle is definitely going to be fought. But how to fight this we have to think in the long run. Wang Tianjie said with a smile.

"Bonghyo, how do you think you should deal with it?" Wang Tianjie then asked Guo Jiadao, who had not expressed his opinion.

"My lord, now the princes of the Central Plains are constantly consuming each other, and this is the situation that is beneficial to us. Now we just need to sit on the sidelines, avoid war as much as possible, and vigorously display our economic strength to prepare for our future battle against the Central Plains. However, now the stable situation in our Liaodong has been broken by the invasion of the Xiongnu. As the lord said, we must fight this battle again, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, Jia believes that we should take the initiative in this battle, so as to minimize the economic losses of our Liaodong, and also fight a decisive battle. We must not be dragged by the Xiongnu, otherwise, we will also be dragged into the quagmire of war like the princes of the Central Plains.

However, what we are facing at the moment is a large number of Hun cavalry who are good at horse archery, mobile, powerful and attacking. Therefore, in the face of such a large Hun cavalry force, we must not take it lightly. It can be said that this large-scale invasion of the Hun cavalry is definitely the most severe test for our Liaodong. This is the key to Guo Jia's words.

"Feng Xiao said yes! We must fight this battle.

However, as the saying goes, "there are two sides to everything", and this Xiongnu invasion is not a real test of your army management and training over the past two years. Therefore, this battle should not only show the prestige of our army, but also display the momentum of our army. It is even more necessary to beat the Huns hard, defeat their arrogance that has always been invincible, and let them remember this lesson forever, and never dare to easily invade our Liaodong again!

We want to let the people of the world know that we are invincible, and let those merchants from all over the world who come to trade in Liaodong understand that it is absolutely safe to trade in Liaodong, and that we have the ability to ensure that their property interests are not lost in our Liaodong. We should take this opportunity to further promote the economic exhibition of Liaodong.

So, do you have faith? In the end, Wang Tianjie looked at Lu Bu and his generals and said.

And Guo Jia and the others, the ministers, didn't expect Wang Tianjie to see farther than them, which also strengthened Guo Jia's determination to study the "Tiancheng Book" more deeply.

As for Lu Bu and these generals, when they heard Wang Tianjie's words, they couldn't bear to rub their hands, and they all replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

"Good! However, I still want to remind you that you are not facing ordinary troops, but a large number of Hun cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, and you must not underestimate the enemy! Wang Tianjie finally instructed.

"Order, Zhang Liao is in Jinzhou to stand by. In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the southeast of Liaoning! Wang Tianjie instructed Xu Shu.
