Chapter Eighty-Six: Planning the Central Grassland

A sound of footsteps came, interrupting the conversation of several people, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others walked into the city lord's mansion and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "See the lord, just now Liang learned a news." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe Xiongnu and Donghu have now withdrawn half of their main forces, together with the people, and returned to the land of the two tribes. Just a few days ago, the Xiongnu, with King Youxian as the main general, led an army of 450,000 thousands of miles north of our Hancheng. The Great War was a 550,000 Donghu army with King Donghu Zuoxian as the main general."

"The war between the two clans has broken out, how should I deal with it in Seoul?" After listening to this, Zhao Wuming asked everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.

When Fan Xu heard the inquiry, he blurted out without thinking: "There are 450,000 people in my city, and it is completely possible to directly wave the army to a tripartite battle."

"No, if you count the Donghu and the Xiongnu, each of them has 150,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the rear. I have no chance of winning against either side of Seoul." Chen Ping immediately spoke out against it.

Fan Xu looked at Chen Ping: "It's impossible for us not to have a hard encounter in this battle, it's the same sooner or later."

"The lord and the ministers discussed this matter privately with Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen and others, and agreed that this battle should avoid the real and make it virtual." Han Xin watched the two argue and looked at Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming looked at the three of them: "How to avoid the real and make the false, and ask the general, the prime minister and the two military advisors to explain in detail."

"We have discussed that this battle should be divided into two ways. All the way, with the Xiongnu servant army as the main force, directly captured the large tribes of Donghu. Cut off the Donghu grain road and the Xiongnu army to attack Donghu, and then use the garrison as a barrier to hold out. On the other hand, the Hu servant army in the east was the main force, from south to west and finally to north, to exterminate the 150,000 troops left by the Xiongnu and cut off their grain routes. At that time, a large number of Xiongnu materials would be transported to the city, and the lord could upgrade the level of the city, and the soldiers and horses would be defeated if they attacked the Xiongnu on three roads." Zhang Liang talked eloquently to Zhao Wuming.

Without waiting for Zhao Wuming to speak, Fan Xu glared at the four of them: "It turns out that you have all made a plan, so you will hide it from a few of us."

"We have just made up our minds, and there must be a flaw in this strategy, which has to be carefully considered." Chen Ping hurriedly explained to Fan Xu.

Flaw? Zhao Wuming was puzzled: "What are the flaws?"

"If Edonghu attacks the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu attack Donghu, they will not be able to subdue the defeated tribal army. In other words, in this battle, the servant army of our city cannot be replenished and strengthened. Only after the central steppe is completely occupied can it be slowly integrated." Han Shin explained.

Fan Hao looked at Han Xin nonchalantly: "This is easy to solve, as long as you use the Xiongnu servant army to fight the Huns, and use the Donghu servant army to fight the Donghu."

"By no means, this move will anger the people of the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes. Not only will it not be able to be successfully subdued, but it will arouse their indignation." Zhang Liang hurriedly stopped Fan Xu's lame plan.

Fan Xu looked a little puzzled: "The anger of the people? Why haven't we stirred it up before?"

"That's because there was no big war between the two clans before, and we used the servant army as the main force, so that they mistakenly thought that this was a pasture battle among their own clan." Han Xin explained to Fan Xu.

Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu came to Seoul relatively late, so they just listened quietly to such topics, but did not speak.

Zhang Liang took Han Xin's words, and then explained to Fan Xu: "The war between the two clans is a matter of life and death for them, if we use the Xiongnu servant army to attack the Xiongnu at this time, what will the people of the Xiongnu think?" Will our Hun servant soldiers complain."

"The words of the military advisor are reasonable, and this battle will be acted according to this plan." Zhao Wuming understood the reasoning and immediately interrupted their conversation.

Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Wuming, and a trace of expectation gradually appeared in his heart: "My Hancheng now has a certain strength, and after the army and the Xiongnu attack Donghu together." The minister proposed that the servant army officially change the flag and use the name of our Seoul."

"Strategist, you should have been like this a long time ago. disguised as Donghu and Xiongnu secretly attacked foreign tribes, which made me uncomfortable." Fan Hao was the first to jump out and echo, thinking of the scene where all the servant troops were branded with the banner of Seoul, and his heart was happy.

Everyone glanced at each other, and a trace of pride rose in their hearts. I don't know when Seoul actually had it. In this grassland, which is surrounded by enemies, he loudly declares the strength of his existence: "Please ask the grace of the Lord and the Lord to show the banner of my Seoul when this victory is about to be decided."

"Yes, what you invited, is also what you think in your lonely heart." Zhao Wuming was suddenly angry, and the country of the Han people appeared in the middle of the grassland, which might stun countless alien races.

Everyone was overjoyed: "We will not insult the prestige of Hancheng, and this battle will let the aliens of the grassland have a good look at the military prestige of our Han army."

"You have such a heroic spirit, why not win this battle. To avoid the truth, the virtual army is divided into two ways, and take this good opportunity to take the central grassland in one fell swoop." Zhao Wuming

"No". Everyone bowed and saluted in unison.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xiao He: "How are our army's food and grass, war horses, weapons, armor, bows and arrows prepared."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has sufficient stocks, and all the materials have now been placed in the established place according to the will of the general and the two military divisions. The transportation and supply routes have been planned, and as long as the lord gives an order, we will have no problem with logistics." Xiao He replied one by one.

Zhao Wuming looked at everyone's heart for a while, and sure enough, it was ruled by a vertical arch, and all aspects were properly arranged. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Take the general Han Xin as the main general, Fan Hao as the deputy general, and Zhang Liang as the military division of the army." led the Xiongnu servant army and 21,000 Han soldiers, a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, to attack Donghu".

"No". Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Fan Hao bowed down to receive the order.

Zhao Wuming looked at Chen Ping and the others, and ordered again: "With Zhou Bo as the main general, Zhou Yafu as the deputy general, and Chen Ping as the military advisor of the army." Commanded the Donghu servant army and 22,000 Han army soldiers, a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Xiongnu and cut off their grain routes."

"No". Zhou Bo, Zhou Yafu, and Chen Ping bowed down to receive the order.

Zhao Wuming moved his gaze to Xiao He: "Prime Minister Xiao He coordinated the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, and Cao Shen and Shen Wansan assisted."

"No". Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Shen Wansan bowed down to receive the order.

After the order was issued, Zhao Wuming's heart was full of pride: "The lonely relatives led the remaining Han army to sit in Seoul and respond at any time." I hope that you will work together to seize the central grassland in one fell swoop, so that the name of my Seoul will be a powerful race."

"In this battle, we will work together to meet the power of our Seoul." Everyone was infected by Zhao Wuming's arrogance, and at the same time got up and promised.

As soon as the words fell, everyone came out, and after a while, the continuous drums resounded in the sky. The two armies set up outside Seoul. On the city wall, Zhao Wuming took Xiao He and others to watch, and some soldiers brought wine, and countless drinks were distributed. The soldiers toasted to Zhao Wuming and others on the city wall, and then drank it all, and threw the wine bowl heavily on the ground, and the sound of the wine bowl breaking sounded in an instant. At this time, the drums were a little louder, and Han Xin and other generals waved their horsewhips and led the two armies to rush in two directions.
