Chapter 443: Preparing for Action
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the biggest border trouble was the Qianghu in the northwest, and after the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was the Xianbei and Xiongnu in the north, and the moment when the Xianbei and Xiongnu rose was when the Three Kingdoms were divided. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Throughout the dynasties, the only Han died by force, throughout the two Han Dynasty and four hundred years, the former Han Dynasty fought the Xiongnu apart, and the Later Han Dynasty also won more and lost less in the Qiang war, the West Qiang was destroyed by Duan Xi, and the East Qiang was also beaten extremely miserable, and later it was the Han people in Liangzhou who led the rebellion.
For more than 100 years in the Later Han Dynasty, the Xianbei and Xiongnu in the north have been dormant until nearly ten years before they show their fangs, but unfortunately the Han has been unable to deal with it. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a blow to the Han and devastating, and then Dong Zhuo's hegemony and the division of the Kwantung exhausted the last vitality of the Han Dynasty.
However, at present, whether it is Xianbei, Xiongnu or Wuhuan, they have not fully risen, Xianbei is divided, and the Xiongnu tribes have not converged.
Therefore, now is the best time to extinguish the flame of the rise of Xianbei and the Xiongnu, especially when Xianbei has just split and the internal fighting is serious, and there is no intention to move south for the time being, which is the best opportunity to solve the Xiongnu in the state.
Therefore, Zhang Liao thought about it all night, and decided to merge the Xiongnu with a thunderous momentum, and the main forces of the Southern Xiongnu Wang Court and Xiu Tu were in Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Shuofang County, and Shangjun in the northwest of Bingzhou, where there was a Hetao in the north and south of the Yangtze River, as long as he controlled that land, Zhang Liao could resist the Great Wall of Yinshan and defend it, herd horses in the inner tuntian, develop cavalry, quickly accumulate strength, and then strongly intervene in the Xianbei civil strife, and then chase the north.
The night is long and there are many dreams, and today the Xiongnu slaughtered the tribes to provoke first, which is also in line with his wishes.
Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and other generals listened to Zhang Liao's loud words, and when they saw his firm look, their blood boiled, and they all shouted in unison: "I am willing to fight to the death with the lord!" ”
Fight to the death!
Guo Yi's body was shocked, and he suddenly understood why Zhang Liao had become the general of the expedition to the north and the pastor of the state at a young age, but he was not as decisive and courageous as he was.
Maybe they are too stable, too many scruples, so that the Xiongnu are getting bigger and bigger, but like Zhang Liao, he did not hesitate and unsheathed his sword, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.
The land of Bingzhou has been sinking for a long time, and it needs to be taken fiercely, and it is not afraid of taking fierce medicine.
Looking at the fearless and impassioned posture of Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and other generals, Zhang Liao was very satisfied.
An army has a soul, and the white horse is never more than 3,000 horsemen, but it can make Xianbei and Wuhuan majestic, precisely because he has a soul, under the leadership of Gongsun Zhan, righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand.
Similarly, Zhang Liao also wants to temper his army out of the soul, dare to fight and rush, be fearless, dare to fight the undoable, he believes that whether it is Zhao Yun, Gao Shun or Dian Wei, they can bring out the soul of the army, which is the charm and ability of famous generals.
Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Jian beside him: "Quickly send an order to the state capital, issue a state pastoral order, and the state pastor Zhang Liao asks the Xiongnu tribes under the counties to decide the matter of merging the state outside Mayi City ten days later!" ”
"Whoa!" Zhang Jian looked excited.
Zhang Liao said again: "Send another message to Dian Wei, take 5,000 elites, go north to bypass the Southern Xiongnu royal court, ambush soldiers in the mountains, explore the terrain in the clouds, and listen to orders at any time." ”
He looked at Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, you sent Xiao cavalry scouts first, familiarize yourself with the path, and set off from Yunzhong County in seven days, respond to Dian Wei, and attack the various departments of Yunzhong County." ”
"Whoa!" Zhao Yun bowed down to receive the order.
Zhang Liao looked at the shocked Guo Yi and said in a deep voice: "I also ask Guo Yuanjun to find five guides who are familiar with the terrain in Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Xihe to help the army, and it must be credible." ”
Guo Yi said solemnly: "At this time, I will definitely find a credible person." ”
Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Yun again: "Remember, the road must be explored clearly in advance, and during the march, guides, maps and compasses should be used together, and they cannot be deviated." ”
"Remember!" Zhao Yun's expression was also solemn.
Zhang Liao turned to look at Zhang Jian: "Previously, the shadows had been scattered in the clouds, Xihe, and Dingxiang, and the shadows were mobilized with all their might, responsible for transmitting messages from carrier pigeons in the army, ensuring that messages were communicated between the two armies and between the two armies and a certain every half day, and no mistakes could be made!" ”
"Whoa!"
After Zhang Liao finished his order, he looked at Zhao Yun and said: "Yunzhong County, Yunzhong County is one of the three major gathering places of Xiu Tu, it is extremely dangerous, I will try my best to transfer its army to Yanmen Mayi, after you and Dian Wei's soldiers and horses enter Yunzhong, fight a surprise battle, remember, do not tolerate mercy!" Because Hugh Tu Hun will not be kind to you, whether you are young or young, you only bring three days of military rations, and then you will have to rely on yourself to find food. ”
"The last general remembers the general's order!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists.
Zhang Liao nodded: "In this attack, in order to be light, Dian Wei led 5,000 troops, and you led 6,000 soldiers, a total of only 10,000, which must be extremely difficult, but there are 1,000 Mo swordsmen in Dian Wei's army, and 700 crossbows in your army, all of which are techniques to restrain cavalry, and they must be used well." ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "The last general knows." ”
Zhang Liao smiled, the reason why he dared to let Dian Wei and Zhao Yun ride deep into the old nests of Xiu Tu with 10,000 steps, in addition to the fact that Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are both fierce generals in ten thousand, is the equipment of Mo Dao and repeater. With Han Ke's method of building and the ideas provided by Zhang Liao, more than 1,000 Mo knives have been built in the past two years, and more than 700 crossbows have been made, and such a sharp weapon is also one of Zhang Liao's confidence.
This is the case in war, the elite and good fighting of soldiers and horses is certainly the key, but the strength of weapons should not be underestimated, and it will play a role in turning the tide and destroying the withering and decaying at critical times.
Moreover, in addition to the Mo knife and repeating crossbow, the main general in the army is also equipped with simple telescopes, and Dian Wei has tiger teeth to lead the way in the mountains, and he has an absolute advantage in observing the enemy's situation.
After the arrangement, Zhang Liao looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, but there are still omissions?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "The lord exerts the power of thunder and is thoughtful, Jia is not as good as it." ”
Zhang Liao shook his head and said with a smile: "The key is to transfer at least half of the soldiers and horses of Xiu Tu, otherwise it will not be easy for Dian Wei and Zilong to act, the results of the battle will not be great, and it will be difficult to reap the effect of deterrence." ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord, this matter is easy, the lord only needs to send someone to spread the news to Hutu Hu, saying that the new governor of the state is young and vigorous, and has set up 10,000 soldiers and horses outside Mayi, called to convene the meeting, in fact, he wants to besiege and kill the leaders of Hutu and slaughter, and then encourage them to lead the troops to attack Mayi and demonstrate to the new governor of the state, they will naturally come, but the lord will also fight hard." ”
Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun: "If Xiu Tu's soldiers and horses are transferred, the battle of Mayi will depend on you and me." ”
Gao Shun said solemnly: "Even if he comes with 50,000 soldiers and horses, he will teach Ma Yi to be safe and sound." ”
Zhang Liao said with a smile: "There are only 60,000 soldiers and horses in all the tribes, and there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yunzhong County, so it's good to have 20,000." ”
Gao Shun said: "Battleable." ”
On the side, Guo Yi hurriedly said: "The general should not underestimate the enemy, the Huns are good at riding and shooting, and 20,000 cavalry are enough to come and go vertically and horizontally, crushing everything, and Ma Yi is afraid that it will be difficult to defend." ”
"Guo Zhijun rest assured." Zhang Liao squinted his eyes: "Twenty thousand...... You can also fight. ”
Since the former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Huns actually feared the Han Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, but it was only in the past ten years that they got up, and they beat him back to their original form.
At this time, Guo Jia said: "My lord, if you come north in a hurry this time, if you want to fight, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the state will not be good." ”
Zhang Liao looked at Guo Yi, Guo Yi's dark color was difficult: "Bingzhou has been in war for many years, the people are difficult to cultivate, the fields are barren, and there is not much grain and grass in the warehouse of Yanmen County, so it must be transferred from Taiyuan County." ”
Zhang Liao nodded, and suddenly asked: "Guo Yuanjun, I don't know what powerful bullies are in the county, rampant in the township, colluding with the Huns?" ”
He was originally from Yanmen County, and he also knew the situation in Yanmen very well, there was no grain in the county government, and there were mountains of Haoqiang forts, most of which were exploited from the dependent tenant farmers, and were often sold at a high price, or sold to the Huns through their own channels, seeking huge profits.
When Guo Yi heard Zhang Liao's inquiry, he couldn't help but be stunned: "This ......"
Zhang Liao smiled: "When soldiers go out to fight, they always need grain and grass." ”
Guo Yi understood what Zhang Liao meant, and hurriedly said: "General, the powerful and powerful in the county all have forts and docks, and they are well guarded, and it is not easy to win......
"Part?" Zhang Liao grinned and said, "Very good, Guo Yuanjun can provide his strong name and surname." ”
The fort is heavily guarded? When his thunderbolt is watched to play?
As for the Haoqiang tribe, it is one of Zhang Liao's goals, and the people of Bingzhou are fierce, and the youth of Bingzhou is also one of the best sources of soldiers.
