"General, I will come with you in the future and help you kill Chen Zhi's thief!" The young warrior was inspired by Liu Yao's words and couldn't help but echo loudly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Yao smiled and said, "Naturally, I won't forget you kid then, but let's get out of here now!" Let's go! "After that, gallop on horseback!

The riders nodded in unison and followed.

If they want to return to the territory of the Xiongnu, they can't run directly to the west, but have to go northwest and turn around on the edge of the grassland, so that they can go south and return to the Xiongnu, because on the edge of Youzhou and Bingzhou, in addition to the mountains, there are many military tuns.

The presence of these military cantonments is not only to guard against nomadic tribes, but also to limit their space for movement.

On the other side, after sending off the Hun cavalry, Chen Zhi, who was in Daixian, did not breathe a sigh of relief, but found several staff, and pulled out the file about Daijun Tuntian, and carefully studied it in the back hall of the yamen.

These files, when they were handed over, were almost remembered by him, so they could be easily selected.

Zhou Ao, Yang Song, Chen Zi, Su Liao, etc., who participated in this meeting, in the eyes of others, are all Chen Zhi's henchmen, and they have a close relationship, and their interests are tied together, and they are a community.

In addition, the latest additions Shu Jiao, Zhang Kang and Bao Jingyan are also among them, but it can be seen from the seating that they are just attending, and out of prudence, they have no intention of speaking.

After Chen Zhi called them over, he briefly introduced the purpose of this move: "The Huns showed up, although they have retreated, but you should also see the danger, they are trying to link this matter with my arrival, there may be more Huns in the future, even if the Huns are not considered, other tribes should not be taken lightly, the contradiction between the Central Plains and the grassland, not because of grievances, but to compete for living space." ”

"Fighting for living space? That's a fitting statement. Bao Jingyan nodded slightly, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his gaze at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi saw that everyone understood, so he continued: "I have just arrived, and I have a lot to do, but in the frontier land, military affairs are indispensable, but in a short period of time, whether it is my family or any other force, it will not be a climate, so I have to use the existing troops here, but not the garrison in the county." ”

Yang Song nodded and said: "The armies in the hinterland of the Central Plains, even if it is a county, rarely have more than three hundred, most of them are scattered in different county seats, this is the frontier, theoretically there can be more garrisons, but under the restrictions of military salaries and the governor of Youzhou, the actual soldiers and horses are very limited, not enough for war." ”

Chen Zhi then said: "Therefore, at the very beginning, we also had to use the troops on the frontier, so it is necessary to find out the general situation of the troops. ”

Yang Song said: "Most of the military power of this garrison is in the hands of that general, there should be no specific household registration list in the file, it may just be some battle records, hey, it's true!" As he spoke, he opened the file in his hand, and after looking at it, he laughed.

"On Tuntian, although Youzhou is a frontier, the scale of Tuntian is not large, far less than the Jianghuai line." After looking through the books, Chen Zi gave such a judgment.

Yang Song nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, your ancestors are experts in this way, and the Chen family in Xiapi is very close to the land of Jianghuai Tuntian, so you may as well talk about it briefly, so that I can have a long insight, I really don't hide a lot of things in this dossier, I have a headache, or listen to others to say it directly and easily." “

At the time of the Three Kingdoms, the new Han Dynasty lived in the south, and the Jianghuai line was the frontier, often competing with the two countries in the north, so there were many Tuntian, the ancestor of the Chen family Chen Deng was the Guangling Taishou, the family was also in the Jianghuai line, participated in Tuntian, Chen Zi as a child of the Chen family in Xiapi, of course, knew these, but also had a deep understanding and cognition of Tuntian.

Chen Zi glanced at Chen Zhi, and saw that the latter acquiesced, so he spoke: "Youzhou's tuntian is mostly a military tun, which is managed and organized according to the army establishment, generally a battalion is placed in five miles, and sixty people in the camp are up and down, and they are tenants and guards, so they can alleviate the food shortage in the frontier, promote water conservancy, and also expand arable land. ”

"Good boy, there are so many benefits, I can't imagine it!" Yang Song was shocked when he heard this, he was very interested in military affairs, and he intended to lead the troops when he came over this time, but he was not interested in the construction of the soldier's system and did not know much about it.

Chen Zhi nodded and concluded: "First, it can slow down the soldiers' food, which can expand the soldiers and horses and gain a firm foothold, second, it can promote water conservancy, and it can also benefit the border people, third, expand the cultivated land, but also promote many crops, and fourth, absorb the displaced people, you can restore and develop agriculture and reduce turbulence, from this point of view, Tuntian is indeed very convenient, but ......"

As soon as he said "but", everyone's attention was drawn.

"However, this grain is still from the government, not the people's land, and the cangqiman actually has little to do with the people, many garrison places, and even the people are not allowed to approach, and I have also learned that in the process of tuntian, the people's land is often requisitioned, so that many people lose their land, so it has also caused a lot of civil uprisings."

"Yes, this is true," of course Chen Zi will not hide these, "Tuntian has advantages and disadvantages, but in Youzhou, where Daijun is located, in the past hundred years, there are more and more Hu people, Hu and Han people live together, the more north, the more Hu people, most of them are nomadic, so that the cultivated land is barren, so after Emperor Xuanwu settled in the north, he will decide to settle in the north of Tuntian, so as to block the nomadic southward expansion, so the land of Tuntian here, not much is taken from the good people, and most of them are fought for from the nomadic tribes." ”

"I didn't expect a small tuntian, there are so many Taoists in it." Zhou Ao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, realizing the gap between himself and Chen Zi, and the original desire to compete for the first place couldn't help but fade.

Chen Zhi nodded, pointed to the stack of files, and said: "The tuntian in the north of Daijun is not large, but it spreads along the line of farming and animal husbandry, and there are many soldiers and horses gathered, thousands of them, but the specific situation is not marked on the file, only the Youzhou Thorn Mansion has a record, and he will not give us this record, but from the overall situation of Daijun, it can be roughly judged that this garrison can effectively block the nomadic south, but it cannot be thoroughly monitored by a small group of people, so occasionally some scattered Hu people infiltrate in. ”

"If this is the case, relying on the garrison troops can maintain peace in Daijun, but relying on them to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu is unrealistic," Yang Song also expressed his opinion, he did not know much about the garrison, but when it came to the specific military struggle, he had his own opinion, "First, the garrison is actually difficult to dispatch, and second, it is necessary to guard the north and guard against nomadism, and it is impossible to divide too many troops to encircle and suppress the cavalry of the Huns." ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, but they can drive the Huns to one place, forcing the Huns to go west, so they have to find a way to the north, the Huns came over this time, did not alarm the border army, indicating that they have mastered the trail, and when they leave, they probably have to take the path, so as to avoid pursuit and bypass the border army, if my previous arrangement is useful, then there is a soldier and horse that will stop him, and maybe there will be unexpected gains." ”

Yang Song looked surprised: "Huh? Could it be that you are too guarded and you have arranged an ambush? But where do the soldiers come from? ”

Their convoy came all the way north, to this unfamiliar place, has not yet established a solid foundation, there are so many people, soldiers and horses he also knows, except for the two hundred families gathered from Luoyang and Pengcheng, there are almost no other manpower, and these people are pretending to be soldiers, so they scared the Huns away.

The rest of them were the hundreds of newly recruited families in Pengcheng, as well as the five hundred elite families prepared by the Chen family in Xiapi, and the fifty cavalry and one hundred elite families prepared by the Yang family, but they were not sent over, and they had to arrive one after another.

Except for these people, the soldiers and horses that could be deployed by Chen Zhi to ambush did not exist at all.

"This army of soldiers and horses is not my manpower," Chen Zhi responded with a smile, "So I'm not sure if they can ambush on the road according to my requirements, if not, that's it, after all, it is enough to scare the Huns away, and we don't have the strength to annihilate them, but if that force can be ambushed, it can make this wayward move of the Huns a painful defeat!" ”

Perhaps it was uncertain whether the soldiers and horses could obey the order, so Chen Zhi did not clearly state the identity and origin of the soldiers and horses, which made Yang Song more and more puzzled the more he listened, and it seemed that there were ants crawling in his heart.

However, Chen Zi's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Chen Zhi thoughtfully.

On the other side, at the same time as Chen Zhi's words fell, the Hun cavalry who had just left the territory of Youzhou and stepped into the edge of the grassland were discovered by another cavalry!

This cavalry was more than three times as large as theirs.

"Not good! It's Tuoba Xianbei's cavalry! Why are they here? The young warrior recognized the person at a glance, and his expression changed wildly.

Different from the time when facing the infantry of the Central Plains, the Huns, who had only fought a few battles with the Xianbei people, knew very well the strength of the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, and in the face of this cavalry, the advantage of the Huns' strong mobility was gone! Not to mention, they had just withdrawn from Daijun, and they were already tired after a long-distance attack, and they were pursued by the Han border army, and they lost men and horses, and their spirits were always tense, and they had just breathed a sigh of relief, and they encountered an enemy who was several times more numerous and not weak in combat power, and they were also at a psychological disadvantage.

"We've been fooled!" Looking at the rapidly approaching Xianbei cavalry, Liu Yao narrowed his eyes, but he felt like he had eaten a fly in his heart, "Chen Zhi, you are calculating me again!" ”
