Chapter 374: 200,000 Army (1st Update)

At noon, in the canopy hall in the palace, I saw that all the important ministers of Dayan were summoned, and Jiang Wan was also among them, looking at the central members of Dayan around him, or the important ministers in charge of a department, his face was a little nervous.

"King, the outbreak of this war, it is obvious that the ambition of Xianbei after the growth of strength, the Huns have been hit by my Han after hundreds of years, and there is no terrible power of the Huns, especially after the division into the north and south of the Huns, it is a great loss of vitality, the North Huns are directly away from the Han realm, it is said that they are currently competing for territory with Wusun, Dawan, Khorezm and other countries in the Western Regions, and there is no threat to my Dayan for the time being. Liu Bao, the king of the left sage, and the king of the right sage, the current population of the Xiongnu is about 270,000, or 300,000, and the army is about 100,000, and it is impossible to exceed this number."

As for Xianbei, there is no unification, one is the western Budugen, and most of its subordinates are distributed in the outer grasslands such as Taiyuan and Yanmen in Bingzhou; the second is Kebineng, whose subordinates are distributed in the periphery of Wuhuan such as Daijun and Shanggu in Youzhou; The third is the eastern Xianbei Suli, Mijia, Que Ji and other tribes distributed in Youzhou's Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang Saiwai, due to the decline of the Xiongnu, Xianbei's strength soared, mastered half of the grassland, the population is about 400,000, the three armies are not less than 150,000"

"This time, Ke Bi Neng didn't know what method to use, but he actually united Bu Dugen, who had many contradictions with him in the past, and hit Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao with a surprise attack, so that Zuo Xian Wang's troops suffered a lot of losses.

"Where do you think their next battle will be?" Yuan Xi looked at the map and asked solemnly.

"I'm not sure about this, after all, it's too far away, and you have to command on the spot," Li Ru said softly.

"Great King, now that my Dayan is in the midst of the big exam, and in addition to the need for rest and recuperation in various places, is it not appropriate to start a war at this time" Han Yan suddenly said worriedly, after all, once a big war broke out, it would inevitably greatly consume grain and grass, and it would also affect the policy of reassuring the people.

"What Shang Shuling said is good, it's better to let them fight, and after taking the king to unify the world in the future, he will come to clean them up," Xin Ping also opened his mouth in support.

"No, it is estimated that it will take several years or even longer for the king to unify the world, and if Xianbei wins this battle, the grassland will be completely controlled by it, and it will be very harmful at all times, especially this Kebi Neng is a hero, it must not be taken lightly, it should be completely eliminated before he has fully grown, not to mention that this battle is also related to Daoliangzhou, as long as they are taken, the role of Hangu Pass will be greatly reduced" Tian Yu, who presided over the foreign affairs departments, shook his head and said.

"Guorang said it well, and the most important point is that there is a civil war in my Han Dynasty, although the princes in various places fight each other, they still comfort the people, and if the foreign people are allowed to benefit and kill the people, after all, they will be left for 10,000 years, and this opportunity must be grasped" Yuan Xi directly set the tone, he must fight.

Hearing this, Li Ru smiled appreciatively, pointed to a small black dot on the periphery of Bingzhou, and said softly: "King, if you want to fight, the most important thing for our army at present is to restart Yunzhong County."

"Yunzhong County" Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows.

"Great King, Yunzhong County has a very long history, the first emperor used this as the first window to the outside world, and it is also the base of my army, it is just outside the Great Wall, and later Wang Mang changed Yunzhong to surrender, and then Guangwu re-set Yunzhong County, respectively managed Yunzhong, Xianyang, Jiling, Shaling, Shanan, Beiyu, Wuquan, Yuanyang, Dingxiang, Chengle, Wujin and other eleven counties, and the prosperous period included the Shilausu River and the Baobao River Basin" Tian Feng immediately explained.

Yuan Xi immediately stood up, walked quickly to the map, and after taking a closer look, he nodded: "This is indeed a very critical position, which can monitor the outer regions at any time, but all the counties have seen it, why is there only this Yunzhong County, he should belong to the jurisdiction of the state, why hasn't Chang Lin reported it?"

"Yu Dawang, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the decline of the Han Court, Yunzhong County has gradually escaped from the jurisdiction, especially they are close to Budugen's territory, so they have their own affairs, turned into several small forces, and have reached an oath with Budugen, the main target of the first king is still the Central Plains, although the area of Yunzhong County is not small, but in fact, there are not many Han people who live, most of them have passed the Great Wall, returned to the state, so a little chicken rib feeling, after adding the first king to unify the north, they immediately gave gifts to show their sincerity, and the first king ignored it" Tian Feng explained.

"How can that work, even if it's just a small city, it's also my Dayan's land, not to mention a county, this must not be discarded, it must be taken back" Hearing this, Yuan Xi immediately said seriously.

"The king is wise, Yunzhong County does not have many troops at all, it is completely relying on Budugen, and now Budugen is on the march, as long as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attack in three ways, with the skyscraping cannon as a deterrent, it will inevitably open the city everywhere and surrender, at most four days, you can take it all back" Xu Shu supported with a smile.

"However, we still have to paralyze the high-level leaders of the two clans first, especially Xianbei, otherwise our army will suddenly intervene, and it is estimated that they will directly cease fighting," Pang Tong said.

"Shiyuan, what's the trick" Yuan Xi asked curiously.

"King Yu, first of all, we must find some people in Yunzhong County as spies, saying that they are living in hardship and urgently need to be saved by my Dayan, our army is for the people, so we will send troops to recover our homeland, and in addition, we must wave a message in the entire Dayan, that is, Dayan may soon go south, let General Jiao touch feint to attack Liangzhou, so that the Xiongnu and Xianbei can continue to fight with peace of mind" Pang Tong opened his mouth and suggested.

"Okay, Zhang Nan," Yuan Xi immediately shouted.

"The minister is here" Zhang Nan hurriedly stood up.

"This matter will be handed over to the military commander, hurry," Yuan Xi ordered.

"No!"

"Once Yunzhong is recovered, my Dayan will not only take back a county, but also occupy the strategic initiative, and can attack at any time, according to the ministers, the next stop of the two armies may be in Yinshan" Sima Yi smiled.

Hearing this, Li Ru immediately asked appreciatively: "Zhongda, why do you say that?"

"Yinshan is a very important position, because he is one of the dividing points of the two races, once the Xiongnu are completely exposed to Xianbei, they will inevitably kill the royal court, so as long as the Xiongnu have a little look, they will not give up Yinshan, of course, as the right minister said, the distance is too far, and it must be commanded on the spot, and there are too many variables" Sima Yi said.

"Haha, Zhong Da's eyes are vicious, Yinshan is indeed a critical position, Zuo Xiang, can you tell me specifically how our army should attack after Yunzhong County is taken" Yuan Xi praised Sima Yi and asked Li Ru.

"The king, the minister feels that this war, must participate, once missed, in the future in the hope of recovery, the loss will be great, but although it is difficult to find a fighter, but because the opponent's strength is not weak, in order to ensure victory, and in order to allow the eight banners to be completely built in these two clans, the minister feels that at least the strength of the three legions must be mobilized, plus the remaining four banners of Wuhuan, with the strength of not less than 200,000 troops to achieve this plan" Li Ru hugged his fist.

"Two hundred thousand?" Han Yan's face suddenly felt a pain on his face, and now the treasury was about to be half empty again.

"Haha, Zipei, don't feel distressed, if this battle is won, the gain will definitely be far greater than the pay, just the Eight Banners of these two clans are worth fighting" Yuan Xi smiled and comforted.

Li Ru nodded and said with a smile: "Zipei, these two clans are not Wuhuan, their heritage is very good, as long as they win, everything will be moved back, and many people from the two clans can be directly designated as slaves, let them build bridges and build roads, it is definitely a million profits, and the other 200,000 are not all attacked, their tasks are different, and some of the consumption is very small."

Han Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Since the king has decided, the minister naturally won't have any other opinions, isn't it just 200,000?" The treasury resisted"

Yuan Xi immediately laughed and said, "Look, Lone just said, there is a son to wear, and Lone is worry-free."

The other courtiers also nodded and smiled, and Yuan Xi continued: "Military advisor, can you carefully explain how to use this 200,000 army?" ”

"No! As Shiyuan said just now, in order to ensure that the two clans can fight with peace of mind, our army needs to feint Liangzhou and make a move to the south, so this time the minister suggested that the 200,000 troops should be divided into five routes" Li Ru became serious.
