"That's right, I, Great Wei Tianwei, how can I allow the Huns to offend, just take advantage of the situation to destroy them!" Zhang Xiu also shouted angrily.

As soon as the two of them took the lead, all the generals were angry and angry, and they all shouted generously.

"Wenhe, what do you think?" Su Zhe remained calm and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu coughed a few times, and said: "My army has just conquered the Han Kingdom, the soldiers are mentally and physically exhausted, and the food and grass are also lost a lot, so it is not appropriate to use troops again so soon, but ......"

After a change of words, he said: "There are more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, these soldiers and horses have never experienced a major war, they are full of mental and physical strength, and they are a useful new force. ”

And the state legion!

Su Zhe remembered Zhang He.

Over the years, he has always defended the state with Zhang He, and the troops he has given him over the years are only more than 30,000 people.

After capturing Guanzhong the previous time, Su Zhe's troops needed to destroy the Han Dynasty were greatly reduced, so he transferred some soldiers and horses to increase the defense and annex the state, and the number of soldiers and horses under Zhang He's command has reached 80,000.

In other words, these 80,000 soldiers and horses have been eating and watching lively dramas all the time, and there have been no major battles, but they are indeed a new force.

"Wen He is right, it is enough to destroy the Huns and join the state army." Su Zhe nodded in agreement.

At this time, Ma Chao said: "Your Majesty, the minister also fought with the Huns back then, and their cavalry is more than the Qiang, if you want to destroy them, it is not enough to rely on the infantry of the state, what is needed most is the cavalry." ”

"That's right, to destroy the Huns, it must be mainly cavalry." Su Zhe looked at Wen Chou: "Ziqin, how many cavalry do we have available now?" ”

After Wen Chou calculated, Fang said: "Zhang He has 10,000 cavalry in Bingzhou, and there are 30,000 cavalry used in our conquest of the Han State, plus the newly formed Liangzhou cavalry all the way, there should be 50,000 iron cavalry available." ”

"There are so many?" Su Zhe was a little surprised by this number.

All along, Su Zhe's cavalry had an advantage over the southern separatists, but they were at a disadvantage to the enemies in the north.

The reason is, of course, that there are too few horse-producing fields.

There are nothing more than three war horses in the world, one is Liangzhou, one is Liaodong, and the other is the Monan grassland.

Previously, Su Zhe destroyed Cao Cao and captured Liaodong, so that he could get a good horse production area, and the Great Wei Dynasty could start to assemble cavalry on a large scale.

It's just that the output of war horses in Liaodong is far less than that of the Monan Grassland and Liangzhou, and it will only take a few years for Liaodong to recover, so the Great Wei will not have enough war horses and time to form a more massive cavalry.

In order to prevent the Xianbei people, who were the most fierce in cavalry, Su Zhe left most of the cavalry to Zhang Liao in Youzhou, so he only brought less than 30,000 iron cavalry to destroy the Han this time.

Now that Liangzhou has been recovered, the world's second largest horse-producing area has finally been included in his territory, and Dawei finally has the ability to explode cavalry.

"50,000 cavalry, plus 70,000 infantry troops, it should be enough to destroy the Xiongnu and recapture the five counties of Bingzhou......

Su Zhe's thoughts were racing, and he made up his mind in his heart, and said happily: "Pass the order, tell the infantry from all walks of life to continue to divide Luoyang, recuperate, and all the rest of the cavalry will immediately go to Bingzhou with me, and I will take advantage of the situation to destroy the Huns first!" ”

The order was handed down, and the soldiers boiled again.

At that moment, Su Zhe accelerated his march and arrived at Chang'an City as fast as possible, where he had a slight rest and the assembly of the cavalry corps.

Within five days, after the gathering of 40,000 iron cavalry, Su Zhe gathered his cavalry army, entered Bingzhou from Puban Pass, and went to clean up the Huns.

And in this battle, Ma Chao's brothers and sisters, Pang De, Yan Liangwen, Chou, Zhang Xiu and other generals who are good at riding battles all followed Su Zhe to conquer and annex the state.

As for Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhang Ren and other other generals, they continued to lead the infantry corps and went to Luoyang to rest.

……

And the state, Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

In the north direction of the city, the black oppressive Hun camp and the aggressive force of the city to the wall, formed a coercive trend on Jinyang City.

Nearly 80,000 Hun iron cavalry, entrenched in the area of Taiyuan County, to which Jinyang belongs, formed a large army to suppress the territory.

The Huns rode fiercely, and they marched south with the determination to grab grain, which was menacing and difficult to fight.

Zhang He is also experienced, and issued a mobilization order in advance, and all the rural people in Taiyuan County were moved into Yangyi, Yuci and other relatively strong cities with Jinyang City as the core, so as not to be ravaged by the Xiongnu.

At the same time, when Zhang He moved the people, he also moved all the grain, grass, cattle and sheep into the city, and adopted the tactics of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and resolutely did not give the Huns a grain of rice or a sheep.

The Wei army had 80,000 people, the city was tall and thick, and the grain and grass were sufficient.

The Huns are different, don't look at their menacing, there are 80,000 cavalry alone, but they are not good at attacking cities, and in the face of the tall walls of the Wei army, it can be said that there is no way.

In desperation, the Xiongnu could only order to force the city to be built, and at the same time divide the troops and horses to plunder the countryside.

It's a pity that the Wei army's tactics of clearing the wilderness made the Huns scheming but reaped pitiful results, and it was not enough to barely maintain their 80,000 troops, let alone grab excess grain, grass, cattle and sheep to feed the old and young women and children in the rear.

The Huns, who were menacing when they came, were gradually depressed and disintegrating their high morale.

Alone in the big tent.

Yu Fuluo, the Hun Dadan, was sitting on the top, listening to the disputes of the generals in front of the tent, and drinking wine one by one.

"Damn the Wei people, they actually cowered in the city and didn't dare to fight, Da Danyu, our subordinates felt that we should concentrate our forces, capture a few small cities first, and slaughter the city directly, so that the Wei people would be afraid, and give them some color to see."

King Zuo Xian has always been violent, and he advocates the slaughter of the city at every turn.

"Da Danyu, slaughter the city must not be! Da Dan Yu's ambition is to seize the state, with it as the foundation through the Central Plains, if the big Dan Yu is to slaughter the city, will definitely lose the hearts of the people, then they will be with the enemy, desperately defend the city, but mistaken Da Dan Yu's grand plan. ”

A scribe dressed in Han Chinese attire immediately objected.

Yu Fuluo glanced at it, and the person who said it was Jia Kui, a famous scholar in Bingzhou.

Since Su Zhe conquered the state, many scholars were afraid of Su Zhe's suppression of the powerful clan, and did not hesitate to move their families to the five counties in the north and took refuge in the Huns, including Jia Kui, Du Ji and many other celebrities.

Jia Kui is not only a celebrity in the state, but also known for his resourcefulness, Yu Fuluo has long admired him, and after his obedience, he greatly trusted him and regarded him as the mastermind.

Jia Kui is a native of the state, of course, it is impossible to agree with the idea of slaughtering the city, and he must stand up against it in both public and private affairs.

Yu Fuluo nodded and said: "Mr. Jia is reasonable, the Wei people in the state are the people of Ben Dan Yu, and they are slaughtered, who will pay taxes and grain to Ben Dan Yu?" ”
