Chapter 740: Ma Yi's Preparation
Winter is not a good time to fight. According to the records of ancient military books, general wars take place in the first month, why is it such a time period? This is inseparable from the work and lifestyle of the ancients. ** The month is ranked after July, and the grain will ripen in July, and then return to the warehouse, and the country will have the capital to fight.
**The moon is actually the most idle time for the ancients, it is not that the ancients were not industrious, their production methods are backward, no matter the north and the south, they grow a season of grain a year, and the variety is single. If you plant corn, you can't grow millet, and if you plant millet, you can't grow sorghum. After July, both men and women are idle, so why not come and play in the war when they have nothing to do? Therefore, the ancient war broke out in the first month.
Another advantage of fighting in the first month of the month is that the weather is cool, but not cold, and there is no need for winter clothes or protection against heat and humidity. And so, the war broke out.
The time when the Han court received the Xiongnu Shan Yu's intention to send troops was probably around July, but Shan Yu did not make up his mind at that time, so the court was not in a hurry to send troops over. Later, Su Ren sent a letter to the emperor, and the emperor suddenly changed from a wait-and-see to a siege overnight, which made a group of ministers in the court a little confused.
Grain and grass were the first things to be transported to Mayi, and it can be said that the grain stored in those granaries outside the city of Mayi today all came from the Han court, nominally the materials raised by Su Ren to prepare for trading with the Huns, but in fact the military rations stationed after the arrival of the army. Only Su Ren and Cui Jiuming knew about this matter, and others such as Han Qing did not tell him.
The rest of the armor, and all the things that seemed to be capital crimes in other eyes, were all preparations for future wars, just like the grains and grasses. In fact, there were more materials stored in the Yanmen Pass, and in order to wipe out the main force of Shan Yu in Mayi, Emperor Liu Che made a great determination and emptied almost the entire treasury. If this war cannot be won, the consequences will not be as simple as the revolt of the kings of Shandong.
It can be said that Liu Che really gambled this time, and almost all the blockages were put on Su Ren, whether it was the emperor or a friend, to be able to look at you like this, as Su Ren was really under great pressure. You know, according to the development of the history books, this battle of Mayi is actually a joke. Almost all the rank of generals who participated in the war were rejected by the emperor. Daxing ordered Wang Hui to commit suicide in prison, and Han Anguo, the general of the Hu army, cut his military power, and the worst was Li Guang, who was not able to be crowned a marquis until his death.
In order to welcome Shan Yu's breakthrough into Mayi, Su Ren not only did not withdraw the soldiers at the outposts around Mayi, but strictly controlled them, and those who dared to slack off were killed. At the same time, send the scouts out fifty miles, and report back immediately if there is any situation. Wang Hui was particularly worried about this, since it was a lure, but he made a posture of iron bucket defense, how could he look like a lure.
"General, will you still come if you do this?"
Su Ren said with a smile: "If you don't do this, Shan Yu won't come, running thousands of miles, walking on the road for two months and not yet, if we haven't detected it yet, it must be a trap." ”
"But, what if Shan Yu is scared?"
Su Ren glanced at Wang Hui: "If it's difficult, I will send you to persuade Shan Yu, if Shan Yu doesn't come, the blame will all fall on you!" ”
"Ahh I'm afraid I can't afford it? ”
"There are a total of three hundred and nineteen people in your Wang family, so many heads have landed, it should be able to calm most of the anger, plus the more than 20,000 war horses purchased this time, I think it's okay."
Wang Hui wanted to kneel, but after thinking about it, he still didn't kneel, and he heard that Su Ren was making fun of him. Although he participated in the designation of the Battle of Mayi, he was not the commander of the road, Su Ren said that there was a tall man on top of the sky when the sky fell, as long as he sat down well, even if he didn't come to it, it had much to do with him. He laughed self-deprecatingly and stopped talking.
Su Ren asked, "What is that Neiying of yours doing now?" ”
Wang Hui hurriedly said: "I haven't heard from him for more than half a month, so I should still be in Yinshan, right?" ”
"Really?"
"Ugh! He had nowhere to go but Izuya. ?.?? `”
"What was the last news that came?"
"It's about Mr. Jing defeating the Yizhi evil faction to send soldiers and horses, he is just a businessman, and the specifics are not as comprehensive as Captain Shi said."
Su Ren sighed: "This internal should of yours is no longer useful, find a way to get rid of it!" I hope he is still in Yinshan. ”
"What do you mean by ......?"
"A few days ago, news came from Yinshan that Liu Hong, the son of the King of Huainan, left with his people, and it is said that he also deceived Yi Zhiyi of a lot of grain, what do you think?"
"Liu Hong? Let's go? How could Yi Zhixiao let him go at such a moment? ”
"Then I don't know, after leaving Yinshan, I disappeared! A few months ago, someone saw a caravan carrying grain in Shuofang, and they were waving your internal flag, which was roughly estimated to be about 50,000 stones! ”
"What does the general mean that Nie Yi and Liu Hong are mixed up?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not that Nie Yi and Liu Hong got together, but from the beginning they were a family, and revealing Shan Yu's news to you is probably also planned a long time ago, my people found traces of the Mo family in Liu Hong's team, because there are many heroes, understand?" ”
Wang Hui knelt down this time and lay on the ground, his whole face on the ground. He had actually heard what Su Ren said, and the reason why he didn't say it was because he was worried that the matter would be pierced. As an important minister of the Han court, Daxing Ling can be called the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a diplomat was played around by others, and he also transmitted news according to the purpose of others, even if that person did not lie to him, he would have no place in the Han Dynasty when this matter was spread. If because of this incident, he missed this encirclement and suppression of Shan Yu's army, it is really possible that his family of 319 people will fall to the ground.
"Mr. Su save my ......"
Su Ren didn't go to help Wang Hui up. Wang Hui has not cooperated with Su Ren much since he came to Yanmen, thinking that when Su Ren was still selling salt in warm water, Wang Hui was already a big order. After so many years, the kid who saw him kneeling and bowing became the commander of the first army, and he still gave orders, and his natural psychological rejection made him unwilling to cooperate with Su Ren.
Su Ren's official position was promoted and lowered, every time he fell very thoroughly, and the promotion was naturally very thorough, just like that, it hit the heads of many Han old ministers, and many people waited to see Su Ren's jokes, including Wang Hui. Su Ren didn't want to doubt Wang Hui's center on the Han Dynasty, but he also didn't believe in a person who was hostile to him, so many plans were not told to Wang Hui, such as the fact that more than 100,000 Han troops were now stationed in the woods around Mayi and in the bottom of the river. The beating of Wang Hui can also be regarded as a warning.
Han Anguo is a master of the art of war, and the leader led by him is also Su Ren to Liu Chejian. When he was in Louguan Academy, Su Ren went to listen to Han Anguo's several classes, and Han Anguo's understanding of the art of war was completely a qualified handsome talent, at least in Su Ren's eyes, he felt that it was. Because when Han Anguo talked about how to attack the Xiongnu, there were two points, one was to burn the war to the territory of the Xiongnu, and the other was not to care about the gains and losses of one place, and there was no need to repel the Xiongnu tribes one by one.
Su Ren was very reluctant to Han Anguo's theory of conquering the Xiongnu, especially the second point, which was a complete springboard tactic to put it bluntly. In World War II, the Americans attacked the islands in Southeast Asia occupied by the Japanese army using this method, which caused the Japanese army to suffer a great loss.
With Han Anguo leading the main force, even if Shan Yu can't be encircled and annihilated, there is absolutely no problem in crippling him. What's more, there are also Li Danghu, Wei Qing, and Gongsun He, young generals who have followed him to South Vietnam. Li Danghu is known for his stability, Wei Qing is the best at learning, although Gongsun He is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, he is also a fierce guy, if it were not for Gongsun He to guard the rear for Su Ren in South Vietnam, Su Ren could not let go of his hands and feet when he went deep into the territory of the enemy army.
What's more, there are Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi to cover these people, even if they run a few, it will not be a big problem to have two old generals in charge. Speaking of which, the most dangerous thing is actually the Yanmen Pass guarded by Su Ren. Although there is a Xiongguan in his hand, there are not many soldiers, counting the improvised patchwork of the strong men, there are only 50,000 people, if Shan Yu's army does not care about a qiē fierce attack, even if there is a Xiongguan, it may not be able to stop.
Fortunately, Liu Che also thinks so. In Liu Che's eyes, Su Ren has never been a general, his bravery is better than Gongsun Ao, and his battle strategy is not as good as Li Danghu and Wei Qing, and he is nothing but smart. That's why he left Gongsun Ao by Su Ren's side, in order to block Su Ren in front of him, lest Su Ren be shot to death by the loss, and he didn't have anything to eat and play.
Of course, Su Ren is also very self-aware, he did not interfere with the army, and all the Yiqiē was handed over to Gongsun Ao, thinking about how to lure Shan Yu to take the bait. Looking at Wang Hui kneeling at his feet, Su Ren said coldly: "Get up!" Although you are my lieutenant general, you are still the great order of the imperial court, and I will not say anything about Nie Yi, but you can't go back. ”
Wang Hui's face was as white as earth, he didn't say anything, and staggered to his feet.
Su Ren said: "Shan Yu's army has left the Duck River, but it is getting slower and slower, it seems that Shan Yu has the intention of retreating, so I hope that the Daxing Order can send the Huns." ”
Wang Hui still didn't speak.
Su Ren continued: "You don't need to go to Shan Yu's army, you just need to go to Yinshan and tell you that Yi Zhi is evil, and it is said that from next year onwards, the peace between the Han and the Xiongnu will continue, but it is not that the Han will send the princess to the Xiongnu, but that the Han Emperor is ready to marry the princess of the Xiongnu, and I hope that Yi Zhi Xie Shan will distribute 10,000 dowry horses, 20,000 cattle and sheep, and slaves and all kinds of furs are not remembered, and the money will be forgotten!" ”
Wang Hui closed his eyes in pain, but Su Ren did not urge. Wang Hui's whole body was shaking, his legs were almost unsteady, he held the back of the chair beside him with one hand, forced himself to suppress the sadness in his heart, and bowed down to salute: "The last general will take orders!" ”
Su Ren nodded: "Very good, if something happens, I will raise your family of three hundred and eighteen for you!" ”
"General Xie!" Wang Hui walked out with tears in his eyes.
Su Ren stopped Wang Hui again and said, "Don't forget to tell Yi Zhi about Liu Hong's collusion with the Mo family to replace the Xiongnu Shan Yu." ”
