Chapter 347: Focus on Jingguan (1st Update)
For Li Guang's generous gift, Yan Ming accepted it unceremoniously.
Li Guang is a high-minded and arrogant general. His life is full of personal heroism, such a person can become a legend, can be boasted by the literati to become a famous general. But in a real war, its ability may not even be as good as that of a journey.
In the previous battle in the clouds, Yan Ming was observing at the head of the city.
The Xiongnu army was on the verge of collapse after a night of fierce fighting. And when Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang's two-way army came, the state was completely different.
Li Guang's army was in groups of three or five, like hungry wolves, and pounced on the Xiongnu's battle array. In a battle formation like his, in the face of the Huns on the verge of collapse, he may be able to defeat, but if he faces a real dignified division, he will suffer a big loss.
Yan Ming thought about it carefully, and this was also the reason why Li Guang had a poor record in history. His personal heroism is too heavy, because the one-sided expansion of personal ability has led to the looseness of the army and passivity in the face of a strong enemy.
Cheng Buzhi is not. When his army appeared, it was a group of dignified soldiers, and they moved forward awe-inspiringly. Maybe Cheng Buzhi's ability in all aspects is not as good as Li Guang. But it is precisely because of this mentality of not being talented that he does not dare to make a difference.
Cheng Buzhi's military formation was well equipped, and when he met the Huns, he directly crushed the remnants of the Huns with a powerful military formation and collapsed Zeng Fanchen.
During the whole war, it was just as Yan Ming expected.
Li Guang's sergeants were wounded in two times, twice as many as Cheng Buzhi's soldiers.
It's just that Li Guang is a tragic figure in history. And most of the literati in history are tragic figures. So there was a sad resonance of the rabbit and the fox, which made this record a mess, and he became a famous general who was not even an ordinary general.
On the contrary, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the double walls of the empire, are covered with dust. Their tactics and deeds could not be simpler in the book known as the swan song of historians.
Thinking of this, Yan Ming thought that when he returned to Hongyan Hall, he must find an excuse to beat Sima Qian a few prototypes. Because of his likes and dislikes, this guy wiped out Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who had made great contributions to the country and the nation. It is a prototype is the minimal.
Li Guang's problem, Yan Ming thought about solving it slowly.
According to the nature of Li Guang's personal heroism, he was too suitable to serve as a guard for the emperor. There, once the emperor is in danger, he is definitely a hero who can stand up at a critical moment and save the emperor.
Everyone in Cloudsdale was filled with joy.
More than 10,000 Huns cast the head of the Jingguan stands outside the north gate of the city in the clouds. That's the heads of more than 10,000 people. When did the people of the Han Dynasty ever see such a spectacular scene?
In the entire Cloud City, only Yan Ming and Wei Qing were calm.
The two of them play chess at the county guard's mansion.
"What's next?" Yan Ming picked up a chess move, hesitated and did not fall, and said.
"The Huns will attack even more frantically. They have been fighting our Han Dynasty for sixty or seventy years, and it is impossible for them to accept the reality of being defeated by us. "Wei Qing's analysis is in place.
Yan Ming nodded and said, "Jingguan, for them, it's a shame. The city in the clouds, and the Jingguan outside the city, will inevitably become the main direction of the Xiongnu attack. ”
Wei Qing's eyes showed contemplation, and he said for a while: "You are right, if I am a Huns, I have been in the upper hand for so many years. Now that more than 10,000 people have been suddenly wiped out, and they have been used by the other party to build a Jingguan, they will not give up. I will first take the skull from the Jingguan Temple, and then destroy Cloudsdale. ”
Yan Ming smiled: "Are you going to destroy Cloud City now?" ”
Wei Qing pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "If in terms of weapons alone, don't say fifteen thousand people, even if King Zuoxian's people have arrived, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Cloud City." So I concluded that the next step, the Huns' marching plan was to go outside Jingguan. The existence of this Jingguan is really a great humiliation for the Huns. Only by destroying Jingguan and taking back the heads of their Huns can they show their strength. Otherwise, the influence of King Zuo Xian in the Monan Grassland will not be as good as that of King Right Xian. ”
What Wei Qing said is not wrong at all.
The Monan grassland now has the Zuo Xian King, the Right Xian King, the Xiu Tu King, and the Hun Evil King, and the most powerful is the Zuo Xian King.
In the royal court of Monan, each king is in his own way. If the strongest King Zuo Xian was killed by the Han Dynasty army with 15,000 people, he could not take revenge, and let Jingguan stand outside the border city of the grassland, he would lose many tribes that were attached to him.
If these tribes are attached to other kings, King Zuoxian's strength will naturally be greatly reduced, and his status in front of Shan Yu will also be reduced.
Therefore, Jingguan is bound to be taken by the army of King Zuoxian. Otherwise, this thing is like being placed there, scolding King Zuo Xian all the time.
"Since the Huns will come to Jingguan to fight, we might as well make a fuss about Jingguan." Yan Ming threw the chess in his hand to the side, looked at Wei Qing and said.
"You throw in the towel?" Wei Qing said with a smile.
"If you admit defeat, you can't get down." Yan Ming patted his head and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose this game. This game of chess in Cloudsdale is not sloppy. Wei Qing said.
Yan Ming nodded, there was still some distance between Cloud City and Jingguan. If you want to stop the Huns from destroying Jingguan, you have to do more efforts.
"Call Lao Xu over." After sending Wei Qing away, Yan Ming immediately asked Chengxin to find Lao Xu.
Now Lao Xu is also a person with a knighthood.
But when he saw Yan Ming, he was still the same, and there was no frame at all.
Yan Ming patted Lao Xu's shoulder and smiled: "You can't do this!" Now that you have a knighthood, you should be a little pretentious! ”
Lao Xu laughed and said, "What kind of pie?" Looking at Yan Hou, you know that the more capable people are, the more unfashionable they are. Although our old Xu can't learn the great ability of Yan Hou, he can learn these things on the surface! ”
Yan Ming laughed with him a few words, knowing that Lao Xu had a knighthood, and his wife at home was so happy that he couldn't do it, and he actually ran all the way to Cloud City.
patted Lao Xu on the shoulder and said, "Old Xu's sister-in-law is here, and you will be happy." ”
Lao Xu blushed, nodded and smiled: "Dead mother-in-law, don't worry about me!" ”
"What's not to worry about, is it possible that you can still kidnap your sister-in-law back to a Hun girl?" Yan Ming also smiled.
Men, no matter how old they are, always have something in common.
Lao Xu knew that Yan Ming called him to come to the county guard mansion at such a time, and he definitely didn't have anything to do with him, he must have something important to do.
Is it necessary to build a city at the border? The construction in Cloudsdale has just begun, but some of them lack skills! [.]
