Chapter 34: The Center Blossoms
When the fisherman arrived in Yongdu, the whole Yongdu was a busy scene. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although Li Si and other civilian officials do not agree with Yun Yue's proposition, they dare not be sloppy in their preparation for war. After all, their fate has been deeply tied to Pingliang and Yunyue. If Yun Yue is really defeated, what awaits them is definitely death. For the sake of the family, for their own sake, they also have to fully support Yun Yue.
"Fisherman! You're finally here, what does Mr. Wei Fang say? You are highly respected, go and persuade the Hou Ye. At this time, we can't go on an expedition against the Huns, we still have to ban the army in Guanzhong to ask Daqin for land and food. Seeing the arrival of the old fisherman, Zou Yan rushed over like an arrow in his buttocks. Of all the civil and military forces, he was the least willing to fight the Huns. In recent years, the Huns have done business with Pingliang and lived a very prosperous life. The tribe has developed considerably, and there are more than 150,000 people who control the strings.
Moreover, the Huns fought differently from the large infantry phalanx of the Qin army, and these Hun cavalry came and went like the wind. The battlefield is the grassland where they lived in their time, and now it is spring, and many places on the grassland are muddy ponds. Not to mention the Yun family's huge takin cart, even if an elephant walks on those mud, it will sink into it. The Yun family's army is highly dependent on supplies, and if they rush into the grassland like this, they don't know what kind of difficulties they will encounter.
Problems that can be solved with the mouth are solved without a knife. This is Zou Yan's idea of a vertical and horizontal family, and he also firmly believes that as long as he sends the Xiongnu to the Xiongnu, with his connections, he will definitely let the Xiongnu Shan Yu hand over the people, and even if Wusun Jichang is alive, he can also fish out Wusun Jichang.
"Mr. Wei Fang said everything, but depending on the decision of the Hou Ye, as long as he is in Pingliang, there will be no problem. Please rest assured of this. Lao Yu didn't come to persuade Hou Ye this time, but also to fight with Hou Ye. Zhang Liang made up 15,000 cavalry of the Yue clan in the Western Regions, and he could rush to Yongdu tomorrow. The Donghu also sent out 5,000 cavalry, and they were as familiar with the steppe as the Huns. Can be used as the best scout! Hai Dongqing's thing is simply the supreme weapon of scouts! "The old fisherman didn't give Zou Yan any face. He thinks that Zou Yan is too pedantic, and the best reaction when a wolf bars his teeth at you is to use a knife, rather than trying to make peace with the wolf.
"Fisherman ......!" Zou Yan's eyes widened as he watched the old man walk past him and walked straight towards Li Si. Tomorrow, those Yueshi people will come, and they have to arrange food, grass, baggage, and supplies for them.
"Fisherman, it seems that you should persuade the Lord!" Li Si said with a sigh while instructing people to follow the list of the fisherman.
The old fisherman looked left and right, and sighed helplessly. He has a good relationship with Li Si, and seeing that Li Si is a little bit into the horns, he has to mention a few words. As a friend, this bit of friendship is still there! If it was Zou Yan's idiot, he would never tell him. "No one can persuade Master Hou in this matter, if you can persuade you to think that Mrs. Zhang Jia will not say it or Mrs. Qing will not say it?
We are the servants of the Lord, and we have all received great favor from the Lord. You studied Confucianism, and your doctrine used to say it. People have five virtues, monarchs and ministers are polite, fathers and sons are related, husbands and wives are affectionate, young and old are orderly, and friends are righteous. It is said that the relationship between people and others in this life, we occupy the article of monarchs and ministers with the Lord, the filial ancestors occupy the article of father and son, and the relationship between husband and wife with several ladies. But think about it, who else can be considered a friend and righteous with the Lord?
Wang Jian is one, but now the world is in the general trend. How much room is there for turning between Wang Jian and the Lord? The only person who can be counted as a friend with the Lord is Mr. Wusun. Now Mr. Wusun's life and death are uncertain, and it can be said that there is more than one luck. You let the Lord continue to deal with Great Qin calmly now, how is this possible.
And even if we don't attack the Huns, this wolf has tasted blood, can you guarantee that they won't attack us suddenly? Therefore, there is no way to accommodate this matter, this battle must be fought, and the Huns must be beaten painfully. ”
Li Si's face is very exciting, and he is really a fan of the authorities. He was in Yongdu, just staring at how Daqin was going to fight back, and he didn't think of coming up from this layer. Wusun Jichang is Yun Yue's only friend in this world, and Yun Yue's current status will make it difficult to have friends in the future. At this time, it is understandable what kind of things Yun Yue does.
"Thank you, sir, for your teachings! Lees is grateful! Li Si couldn't help wiping a cold sweat when he thought about it, if he had to die at the beginning, and listened to what Zou Yan said, and slowed down Yun Yue's march in terms of logistics and heavy allocation, maybe it would really anger Yun Yue. When the time comes, it is not up to him to decide how things will develop.
**************************************************
"I'm glad that you and Mr. Wei Fang have this attitude, Ji Chang is gone. There must be a conclusion to this matter, otherwise I will be ashamed of my brother. "The old fisher saw Li Si, so he came to the Dazheng Palace to see Yun Yue. At this time, Yun Yue must be let know his full support.
"The lord is a little biased when he says this, and Mr. Wusun is not necessarily gone. Maybe it was just an injury, and he was raised by the Huns to reap the benefits. As long as we use thunderbolts to beat the Huns, they will obediently send Mr. Wusun back. Seeing Yun Yue's lonely expression, the old fisher hurriedly gave Yun Yue a relief pill.
"Impossible, Ji Chang gave me a dream. He must be gone, and besides, guys like the old dog are almost dead. The scene at that time must have been extremely dangerous, although Ji Chang's skills were good, but he had been pampered over the years, and he was not comparable to the old dog.
And I highly suspect that the Huns may be brewing a surprise attack on Pingliang. They are wolves by nature, and they know that our main force is now heading south, and they will definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack Pingliang. Over the years, the wealth of Pingliang has been placed in front of the Huns, and they have long been salivating. A few years ago, the Hei tribe was defeated, but now Zuo Daduwei and the ancestor Da Shan Yu are gone. Over the years, the Huns have become richer and richer, and when the scars are healed, they naturally forget the pain. If you want peace in the northern Xinjiang, and if you want the Huns not to make trouble with us in the Western Regions, this battle must hurt them. You don't have to go to the grassland, you are old, and the sea of corpses and blood is not suitable.
Although Chu Dayong is brave, his brain is not very good. I took all the cavalry away, leaving him to defend the city, but it was absolutely not okay to attack. You help me look at this Yongdu City, and let me sweep the grassland for half a year. After rolling the heads of the Huns, he came back to compete with Daqin. Elder Yu's words made Yun Yue very happy, and he said so much in one breath. This is the most Yun Yue has spoken in the past few days. Qin Qing next to him gave the old man a look and asked the old man to say more.
In the past few days, he has tried his best to make Yun Yue happy. But no matter what you do, the disappearance of Wusun Jichang hit Yun Yue too hard, and whoever said that Wusun Jichang didn't die didn't believe it. Even if you take out something like a dream, can this kind of thing be taken seriously?
Although the armor of Chu Dayong's department has been improved, it still weighs dozens of catties. It is really not appropriate to enter the steppe as an infantryman, and it is now difficult to walk on the steppe. It is also difficult for our takin cart to play the role of a large load capacity, and losing the takin cart hoplite is looking for death. Let them stay in Yongdu, this is a good thing. If it is supplemented by Qiang soldiers, plus we have fire oil and gunpowder. Even if the other party comes with another 100,000 troops, they will not want to break through Yongdu within half a year.
The old man has an idea! Although the lord went to sweep the grassland, he had to leave a light horse for the old decay. We used these light horses to constantly harass Great Qin and loot the supplies we needed. Mainly against the magnates of Great Qin and the fiefs of the royal family, looting. If these people are angered, they will put a lot of pressure on King Qin. Even if the king of Qin didn't want to send troops, he would have to take Yongdu back when the time came. With the lesson of the last time, the Qin army will inevitably concentrate on the attack. The old man obeyed their wishes and did not retreat.
The Qin army, which could not be attacked, would inevitably choose to besiege the city, and at that time the lord would return from the grassland. Or you can recuperate for a few days in Pingliang and replenish the supplies. We......! The old fisherman made a pinching gesture!
Yun Yue was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect the old guy to come up with such a central flowering tactic. There were gunpowder, oil, strong armor, sharp knives. There are also strong crossbows and Qiang soldiers, and it is impossible for the Qin army in its primitive state to break through Yongdu City. The only thing they can do is to besiege them for a long time and trap the people inside and pull them down. If the people inside can't hold back and break through, then the Qin army can give full play to its numerical advantage and strangle the Pingliang army.
But if Yun Yue led the cavalry to raid from the periphery, the situation would be different. According to the ferocity of the Yun family's cavalry, even if they really can't be defeated, there is no problem in escaping. After all, the quality of the cavalry of the Qin army was too poor. Many of the Qin cavalry still ride short Huaxia horses, the height is only about the shoulders of people, and they are more like donkeys than horses. Such a cavalry, even if there are more than 100,000 people, it is also a gift to the Yun family cavalry riding takin and the war horse of the Western Regions. What's more, the Yun family has even more fierce war elephants.
"This plan is very good, let Li Siduo replenish Yongdu with some supplies these days. It must be enough for Yongdu to hold on for a year, and the road conditions in the Xiongnu grassland are not good. We didn't take the takin cart with us, unloaded some of the takin, and let the takin carry the baggage and follow the army. The grasslands are full of grass, and there is no need to worry about the food source for takin and horses. And the elephant can also eat some hay, and with some corn can also stick to it. The surplus takin carts are used to transport supplies, and it is necessary to ensure that in the short term, the materials and grain stocks in Yongdu will be brought up. ”
"Takin is carrying supplies......! I'm afraid this will not be enough to supply the army! "The old fisherman was a little worried, and the battle on the grassland was not so much a soldier as a soldier, but a money and food. The Huns were very cunning, they lived in the steppe all year round, and they were naturally familiar with the terrain. If the food and grass are cut off, the consequences are unimaginable.
"We can loot on the spot, the Huns have been rich all these years. Their wealth is the cattle and sheep in the pen, although spring is the thinnest season for cattle and sheep, but it is enough to feed our tens of thousands of troops. Yun Yue remembered Huo Quai's tactics back then, and all the supplies for the long drive of thousands of miles were captured by capturing.
"What about the water source? The Huns would throw dead cattle and sheep into the water source, and the army needed a lot of water to pass through. When the time comes, our army will run rampant. Be careful! ”
"Hahaha! The problem of water is easy to say, the spring breeze blows the snow and ice on the grassland. At this time, it is the season of the year when the groundwater in the grasslands is at its most abundant. We don't have to follow those fixed water sources, we just need to dig more wells in one place to eat the groundwater. Moreover, I will not delay too long in the Xiongnu steppe.
Spring was the season when the Huns were most reluctant to fight, and their horses, cattle and sheep passed through a winter. It is the worst time of the year, and our takin, and the war horses of the Western Regions eat soybean cakes and corn. The physical strength is far better than that of the Huns, and it is we who come and go like the wind. Playing guerrilla warfare with us is fantasy.
When I say half a year, I guess it's the worst-case scenario. If I'm right, I'll see it in a month or two! When the time comes, our main cavalry can return to Pingliang to rest. As long as the Qin army besieges the city, we will bloom according to the center you said as you always said. After killing the Qin army, he can drive straight into Xianyang. ”
The old fisherman thought about it and couldn't help but smile. On the grassland, cattle and horses eat hay in winter. Those things that are not nutritious will naturally not make cattle and sheep fat and strong. So in the spring, the Xiongnu horses will also become emaciated. In the past, if you could ride 100 miles a day, now it is good to run 60 miles with physical strength.
But the cavalry of the Yun family is different, and the cattle and horses eat soybean cakes after corn and soybean oil extraction. There are even some who eat millet from the granary, which is almost the same as what people eat. And in winter, the Yun family will also increase the amount of feeding. After a winter, the horses of the Yun family's cavalry not only did not lose weight, but became more majestic. In terms of physical strength, how can a war horse that eats grass be compared with a war horse that eats grain?
"Huh! I thought that the lord was just thinking about revenge, but I didn't expect it to be calculated to such an extent. The old man and Mr. Wei Fang have no worries left, and now they just want to stimulate Xianyang. Let him send troops to attack Yongdu! As long as he comes, hehe! The old fisherman smiled treacherously! People with white beards actually show their childlike naughtiness. In front of me, I seemed to see the Yun family cavalry riding a war horse in the Western Regions, chasing the Huns like rabbits. In the end, the Huns' war horses were so tired that they foamed at the mouth, so they chased and killed the Huns' heads.
"It's to give you a good teasing, and Qi Guoxing's division will be left to you. That kid is cunning and cunning in war, and such a task suits him very well. (To be continued.) )
