Chapter 35: Yang Lin commands the army
Sun Xiong looked at the location that Xie An was pointing to was the seemingly dangerous Tonggu, and asked with some confusion: "I don't know sir, what does this mean?" ”
Xie An drew a circle with his finger on the area where Tonggu was located, and then said: "Although there is no need to worry here, although the Taihang Mountain Range is steep, Tonggu is not precipitous. ”
"Sir, you mean?" Sun Xiong also probably understood a little, and said suddenly.
"Hehe, the Huns' secret operation this time is very good, if Xie Xuan hadn't proposed this, I wouldn't have thought of it, and even if we ambushed Tonggu in advance, it would be useless." After speaking, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When Xie An said this, Sun Xiong pondered thoughtfully.
"The Huns are good at horses, and they are even better at riding and shooting, if you give the Huns to go through the valley, you can pass through it with just a few breaths." Xie An returned to his place.
Sun Xiong thought about the terrain of Tonggu, and it was indeed as Xie An said, if he really gave the Huns a horse to pass, it would indeed only take a few breaths.
"According to Mr. Zhenzhao, the ambush is of no use." Sun Xiong thought of a key point, that is, in a straight line, the Xiongnu might pass directly through Tonggu, and then it would become a counter-encirclement of our army.
"It seems that some people in the Huns guessed that Tonggu did not have any defense, even if there was defense, there was an ambush that could be broken on the surface, and then the army of Tonggu would become a turtle in an urn."
"Not only will the army be counter-surrounded, but Tonggu will also become a safe treasure for the Huns, encircling and sending reinforcements, and breaking the rescue troops one by one."
Sun Xiong said in a deep voice.
Xie An nodded and said: "But the general doesn't have to worry, in fact, these are not difficult, what the Huns are proud of is their mobility, as long as the mobility is gone, they will naturally be able to deal with them easily." ”
"Well, it is true that although the Huns are highly mobile and their cavalry is more stable than our Han army, when they get to the horse, they Huns are not worried." Sun Xiong himself also has a solution in his heart, but he can only say that this plan is too easy to break, and he doesn't know if it is Liu Yuan himself or what the dog-headed military master thinks.
If it was Liu Yuan himself, then there was nothing to worry about.
When the time comes, as long as there is a slight change, it is not that the Huns will calculate, but that we will set up a plan to lead the Huns from the trap.
"Haha, it's really a blessing for my grandson and a blessing for Yanmen."
Sun Xiong laughed loudly, and then ordered: "I will immediately ask General Ma Yue to lead 10,000 troops, immediately go to Tonggu to ambush, and block the road to Tonggu." ”
"Ahem, I don't think General Ma Yue is up to the task of this trip to Tonggu."
Xi Zhong, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Oh? I don't know why the military advisor said that? ”
Sun Xiong was not angry, but looked at Xi Zhong in confusion, wanting Xi Zhong to explain why Ma Yue was not qualified for this trip to Tonggu.
"Zhong felt that it was only to repel the Huns, and when the main force attacked, Yanmen Pass would be as difficult to resist."
Xi Zhong touched his chin and said slowly: "The Huns can think of besieging us in a planned way, so why don't we go the other way and annihilate this army?" ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes were still in a trance, but when he said this, he felt that the godless eyes were looking at everyone with light.
After getting up, he walked to the center of the crowd and said slowly: "We can exchange 10,000 for 30,000, 10,000 for Yanmen County, and 20,000 for Yanmen Pass, which will be combined into 30,000 ambush in Tonggu." ”
"You can send 10,000 soldiers and horses on each side of Tonggu to garrison, and 10,000 soldiers and horses can be used for ambushes, and they will be completely annihilated in an encirclement."
"Annihilate the Huns who attacked by surprise, and then let the 10,000 elites change into the clothes of the Huns and then pretend to be a defeated army and go to the main force of the Huns, and then inform the soldiers of Yanmen Pass that they will be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Huns by attacking from both sides."
After speaking, he looked at Sun Xiong excitedly, wanting to hear how Sun Xiong was.
"It's a good plan, but it's too dangerous? If the main force of the Xiongnu did not arrive in time, wouldn't the two flanks be self-defeating? ”
Sun Xiong understood that being able to deal a heavy blow this time would ease the pressure on Yanmen.
Yanmen itself only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and after drawing out 20,000, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left.
10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the attack of 100,000 troops, how much pressure will the remaining 10,000 Yanmen Pass defenders have.
Hearing Sun Xiong's concern, Xi Zhong said in a deep voice: "General, please be loyal once, and promise that as long as the Xiongnu troops appear in Tonggu, the main force will definitely not be far from the border." ”
Seeing that Xi Zhong was so committed, Sun Xiong had no choice but to nod and say, "Then General Ma Yue is not qualified for this trip to Tonggu, so who can be competent?" ”
Xi Zhong also seemed to have a candidate, and said directly: "Zhong thinks that Captain Yang is capable of this ambush battle. ”
"Captain Yang? Are you talking about Yang Lin, the captain of the city gate? Sun Xiong thought about it, and then thought that there was indeed a captain surnamed Yang under his command.
"Exactly, although this person is a little old, he has extremely rich experience in commanding troops, and he is even familiar with military books and arranges troops."
When Sun Xiong heard that Xi Zhong admired this person so much, he was also interested, and immediately asked Yang Lin to summon him over.
In a moment, a middle-aged man in military uniform stepped into the Taishou Mansion, Yang Lin was eight feet long, and his body was extremely strong, although his hair was a little gray, but his expression was not as old as he seemed on the surface.
Just by looking at it, you can feel that this person is not only familiar with military books as Xi Zhong said, but his bravery may not be low.
"You are Yang Lin?"
Sun Xiong asked.
"Yang Lin has seen General Zhengbei." Yang Lin arched his hand and said loudly.
"It turned out to be recommended by the military advisor to you, then I naturally won't have any doubts, you will be the main general of the battle to annihilate the surprise attack troops in Tonggu this time, okay?"
Yang Lin didn't know why he was here, only that General Sun Xiong summoned him to the Taishou Mansion.
Now that I am here, I heard Sun Xiong say this, and I also knew that I was going to be reused this time, and I was also happy in my heart.
Everyone has the idea of making meritorious contributions and worshipping the prime minister, and now he is in Yanmen, and he is already a lot of age but he is still only a captain of the city gate.
Now that he can be awarded a heavy responsibility, he will be able to build a project, although Yang Lin was excited in his heart, he still asked very calmly on the surface: "It turned out that the military advisor recommended the old man, then I naturally will not shirk it, and this can be regarded as repaying the general's trust." ”
Sun Xiong nodded when he saw Yang Lin's performance, and then explained the details discussed today and the strategy proposed by Xi Zhong.
After listening to the audit, Yang Lin was also deeply surprised to come up with such a plan to go deep into the grassland this time, and glanced at the pale man with both eyes.
Now that he heard that the leader of this time was handed over to him without reservation, Yang Lin was even more excited in his heart, and he was even more grateful to Sun Xiong, who admired his loyalty and entrusted him with important tasks.
The voice was even brighter than just now, and he said affirmatively: "Yang Lin, you will live up to your life." ”
"Haha, Captain Yang is now commanding the three armies and has to behave well, and he has nothing to do, and I heard that Yang Lie, who alone blocked the ten thousand armies three years ago, is the nephew of Captain Yang, I don't know if An is right?"
Xie An congratulated him on the side and said.
"Yang Lie is indeed a nephew, I heard that he made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and now he is guarding the border in Yanmen Pass, which can be regarded as a contribution to our Yang family."
Yang Lin was also extremely happy when he said that Yang Lie, Yang Lin was also a man of temperament, and he was even more pleased with Yang Lie's feat of defending Sun Xiong's escape alone.
Sun Xiong was even more surprised when he heard that Yang Lie turned out to be Yang Lin's nephew, and praised him several times.
After a few polite words, Sun Xiong said solemnly: "Today, Yang Lin was promoted to a rebellious general, commanding 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen County, as well as 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass, and after the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass are assembled, he will immediately go to Tonggu." ”
Yang Lin received the order and said in a loud voice: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Xie An thought about it, and still said: "General, An thinks that General Yang Lin may be difficult to convince the public, it is better to let Sun Yungongzi follow General Yang Lin as a deputy general, Sun Yungongzi also has some prestige in the army, so that General Yang Lin can also grasp the military heart as soon as possible." ”
After hearing this, Sun Xiong also nodded in agreement: "In this way, let Sun Yun follow Yang Lin's side, and everything will be subject to Yang Lin's arrangement." ”
When Xie Xuan heard that Sun Yun could also go to the battlefield, he was immediately unhappy, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Sun Xiong, I will also follow General Yang Lin to fight the Huns!" ”
"Oh? You're going to war too? Sun Xiong looked at Xie Xuan playfully.
"The general can't think that I don't have any help because I'm a child, Ziwu can go to the battlefield when he is ten years old to reverse the tide of the war, Zhiyan can go to the battlefield at the age of nine to cut off the head of the Hun generals, and the ancient Ganluo can be a minister at the age of twelve, now Ziwu can go to the battlefield, why can't I?"
"Then you want to be this Ganluo?"
Sun Xiong said solemnly.
"No, I want to be myself, to become a world-famous Confucian general."
Xie Xuan said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Sun Xiong took the case and said: "Okay, you want to go to the battlefield so much, then you can go, but you have to agree with your eldest brother." ”
"Haha, if you want to go, let's go...... Even if I don't agree, this kid will secretly follow. ”
Xie An said slowly beside him.
"Mr. agreed, then you will follow Yang Lin's side, but everything must be subject to Yang Lin's arrangement like Sun Yun, can you?"
Hearing that he could also go to the battlefield, Xie Xuan naturally didn't care who he listened to, so he said loudly: "Xie Xuan takes the order!" ”
Although Xie An didn't want Xie Xuan to go to the battlefield so early, there was always a time when the young eagle flew high, and only after experiencing the baptism of the battlefield could he become a qualified general.
And Xie Xuan has been clamoring to become a world-famous Confucian general, and Xie An can only do Xie Xuan's wish now.
