Chapter 210: Warning the Huns
Standing at Yanmen Pass and looking north, the mountains are stacked. A level history is basically half of the history of ancient Chinese warfare. Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty. It was Wei Qinghuo of the Han Dynasty who went to illness. They have all gone out of Yanmen and run rampant in the desert.
Hou San, how have you been fortunate in Yanmen Pass all these years? Are you okay? Are there any requirements? Zhang Jie asked.
Thank you for your concern, Hou Sanben is just a small servant in Yecheng, and he has been following General Wang Hao a few years ago. There is nothing fortunate about being able to win the lord and entrust him with a heavy task. It's just that I miss my old brothers a little bit here. Hearing that General Wang Zhi was also killed in battle, Hou San wanted to go back and put incense on him.
Speaking of Wang Zhi Zhang Jie is also very sad, once when he was the county commander, Wang Zhi was also a messenger, and then slowly became a general, but unfortunately died in Liaodong. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have let him go to Liaodong in the first place.
Zhang Jie said: That's it, after the army leaves the customs, you choose a competent person to guard the customs for you, and you can go back to Yecheng by yourself! There is no need for too many people to guard the pass here for the time being, and there is no need for a large army to garrison Yanmen Pass after the army goes north to sweep away Mobei. Wang Hao is also in Yecheng now, and after you return to Yecheng, you will find a match and then arrange your position.
The lord is out of the customs to fight, how can Hou San return to Yecheng at this time? I'd better stay here and wait for the triumphant return of the lord! It's not too late to go back to Yecheng with the lord! Wait for three ways.
All right! If you are willing to wait here, the grain and grass materials will also be available after the army leaves the customs, and you must send more people to protect them to ensure the safety of the grain route. Zhang Jie said.
Promise!
Back at the Yanmen Pass barracks, Zhang Jie reconciled the civil and martial arts: tomorrow will be out of the pass to recover, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Sufang and other towns occupied by Xianbei and the Xiongnu. Tell me how we should enter the army?
Zhang Yandao: My lord, most of the cities such as Yunzhong and Wuyuan are still in our hands, and only a small part of them are occupied by the Xianbei and other clans.
Over the years, the lord has been using troops against Youzhou, so in order not to stimulate the Xianbei people, the Huns and Gongsun Zan to form an alliance, so his subordinates have been turning a blind eye to these places, but fortunately, these alien races are also afraid of angering the lord, so they only occupy a small part. and finally occupy the city on a large scale. Now the lord is going to use troops against them, and his subordinates think that they should send troops to recover the places occupied by the Xiongnu and Xianbei one by one. Drive them to Mobei. Or make them surrender.
Zhang Jie nodded and didn't say anything.
Gao Randao: My lord, the last general thinks that if we divide our troops to take these places, we will disperse our troops, although our army has 100,000 people, but Budugen also has nearly 50,000 or 60,000 horses, if you add Kebineng, there may be more remnants such as Tadun, and the Huns don't know if they will also send troops to help them. Therefore, the last general did not think that the troops should be divided. Instead, they concentrated their forces on raiding Takayanagi Castle. Eliminate the main force of Xianbei, as long as the main force of Xianbei is gone, we only need to send a few teams of men and horses to recover the territory they occupy.
After hearing this, Zhang Jie felt that Gao Ran was worthy of being a general. should be stronger than Zhang Yan in terms of soldiers. But Zhang Jie didn't say anything and nodded. Dao: Do you have any different opinions?
Wei Yandao: The last general thinks that General Gao said it better. Instead of dividing the troops, it is better to attack Liucheng directly, destroy Budugen's nest first, and force him to fight a decisive battle with our army, and the battle will be decided. In this way, we can quickly destroy the step root.
Zhang Jie also nodded and said: Wenhe, tell me what you think!
Jia Xu saw Zhang Jie's name, and said: The old man also thinks that General Gao's method is faster, we have a long way to send troops, and there is a lot of pressure on grain and grass. If the war drags on for too long, it will be extremely detrimental to us, and it is better to solve it quickly.
The lord should attack Liucheng with one of his forces, and also guard against the Huns. It is better for the lord to send an envoy to the Xiongnu and inform Yurov that he is not allowed to help Budugen.
Zhang Yandao: Will Yurov agree? And will you listen to us?
Jia Xu said: Since Emperor Xiaowu defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu have greatly reduced their strength, the population has decreased seriously, so that they all withdrew from the Monan region, and the north and south were separated in the fourth year of Emperor Yongyuan (91), the northern Xiongnu went to the Western Regions, and the southern Xiongnu took refuge in the Han court.
Since the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, there was internal strife among the Southern Xiongnu, the countrymen killed Shan Yuqiangqu, and the son Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo ascended the throne. Yurov and supporters were afraid that the imperial court would not recognize them, so they repeatedly showed goodwill to the imperial court, and it was precisely because of the civil strife in the Central Plains that the Xiongnu did not invade the south in a big way in recent years. In fact, the Xiongnu were also unstable internally. Although there were no major battles, intrigue was common.
The lord can send an envoy to show favor to Rove, or he can give grace and power. I don't think Yurove will help Budugen.
Besides, the current Xiongnu are no longer the strong Xiongnu of the past, they learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and grow crops, which is basically not much different from the Han people in the Hetao area. And they have always been more afraid of the imperial court.
More importantly, the Xiongnu and Xianbei have always had contradictions, and they have fought for hundreds of years, so they hate the Xianbei people as much as we do.
If the Xiongnu helped Xianbei, then it was completely worried about the death of the lips and the cold teeth, and the death of the rabbit and the sadness of the fox. I'm afraid that after we destroy Xianbei, the next target will be them.
Therefore, the old man suggested that the lord send an envoy to see Yu Luo, explaining the past troubles, and it is best to subdue the Xiongnu for my use. Yurov is not a maodun, his wilderness is not big, as long as the lord is tough, I don't think he will dare to send troops.
Zhang Jie nodded. Dao: Good!
Since Wen He felt that it was advantageous to send an envoy to the Xiongnu, Najie sent an envoy to him.
Do you have a candidate?
The people did not speak. Zhang Jie thought for a while and said: Come on, bring my armor. Take another one and we'll take the most
New crossbows. One of the best ring-headed knives.
Promise!
After a while, the soldiers brought up the armor and crossbow, crossbow arrows, and knives.
Zhang Jie picked up the pen and began to write the letter, and the letter was written after a while.
Zhang Jie said: Brother Zhang Yan, you sent someone to send these three things and my handwritten letter to the Xiongnu and handed them over to Yurov. Nothing else is needed.
Promise!
Jia Xu touched his beard and said with a smile: "The lord is smart, with these three things, I don't think Yu Luo will help Bu Dugen."
Zhang Jiedao: The Xiongnu are different from Xianbei, the main reason is that the Xiongnu have been seriously sinicized, so I don't want to eliminate them in the same way. At present, the population of the Han Dynasty has suffered serious losses due to natural disasters and wars. It is the Guanzhong region. Since the Huns spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters, then give them a chance to be Han Chinese. After we take Guanzhong, move some Huns to Guanzhong, add some Xianbei women, and our soldiers. It should be able to quickly restore the population of Guanzhong.
Of course, if they don't know what to do, then we can only destroy them. In short, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish. Either be my Han people, or you can be wiped out. I'm not going to give them a third way.
You will go down to rest first, and tomorrow the army will go out of the customs and go straight to Liucheng.
Promise!
