"Sounds terrible, huh?" Ji Bu was full of beard at the moment, and the battle robe on his body looked a little dirty. He was now riding on a small hill, watching the two teams in the distance fighting each other in the movement, and said: "Although it is said that the war in Northern Xinjiang will go on for a long time, is the system of continuous rotation really good?" ”

"Maybe it's also a turning point in resolving the current war situation." Zhou Wen was patting his cheeks, although the grassland was overgrown with grass, but when the wind blew, it would produce too much dust. "We do need more infantry now," he said. ”

"The question is...... There are two mixed corps rotated every year, the first year is the sixth and seventh, and it will not be fixed in order, but it seems that ......" Ji Bu pulled his beard, his face full of pain: "What prediction does the center have to think that the war will last for at least three years?" ”

"Nothing strange, right?" Zhou Wen was very surprised, he said: "The war has always been a long time, and the war between us and the Hu people before was also a dozen or several years? ”

Isn't! The battle for the source of the Yellow River alone lasted for nearly four years, and if it had not been for the agreement of the various warstates to merge, the unification process of the empire would not have been so fast, but it took nearly three years just then.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than traffic restrictions, and the other is that the rhythm of war cannot be fast unless it is a relatively special situation.

"Didn't you expect to play for ten years at the beginning?" Wang Ben didn't care: "I know that the war against the forest savages in the south has not stopped from the beginning, so the war has lasted for nearly thirteen years?" ”

It's about chasing and killing Nanban or something, and it's been chasing since Lingnan, and now it's almost chasing to the border of Thailand in the future, but the army is not directly involved, and it hires a civilian mercenary team.

There is no exception here in the Junji Mountain Theater, and those people next to Ji Bu are some of the commanders of the Zhonglang Generals, and some are the generals of the legions to which they belong. For example, Zhou Wen and Wang Ben are the people whose status on the scene is second only to Ji Bu. Others are more complicated.

Nearly two months into the war, the initial fighting on the plains was not fierce, and the Jitu Xiongnu retreated into the mountains with only a symbolic resistance, and then resisted with complex terrain.

Originally, according to the estimation of the Taiwei Department and the General's Office, Ji Tuo should have chosen to go around in a circle on the plain, in order to deal with this possible phenomenon, the Northern Expedition Corps prepared three cavalry corps, and made a certain change in equipment for the combat state, but what I didn't expect was that Ji Tuo actually took the Huns into the mountains!

The Huns were nomadic troops, right? They're a people on horseback, aren't they? As a result, the went into the mountains, and there must have been something wrong with this.

Prepare three cavalry regiments. In addition, the equipment is highly flexible and mobile, and for this reason, the war horses obtained from Wusun are specially tilted to a certain extent. Well, the war turned out to be a mountain war instead of going on on the plains!

Although the Huns also have brains, most of the Huns belong to a tendon, they are more familiar with cavalry warfare, and will not easily abandon what they are familiar with to accept unfamiliar things, especially when it comes to life and death.

"Han Shin, isn't it?" Wang Ben's face was full of contempt. He said: "The Huns can't win against us in cavalry, they will also lose in mountain warfare, and they may lose even worse!" ”

Han Xin is not the same Han Xin, but actually another guy named Han Xin who is already in his forties. He used to be active in Yandi. Later, he first fell out with Qi Wang Tian Dan, then ran to find Zang Di and Han Guang, and then fell out with the two, and finally simply took refuge in the Huns.

This Hanshin has a wonderful history. After the successive restoration of various countries, he also played the founding of the country and called the king, and he was still called the king of Han, so he can also be called Han Wangxin. But. No one took him seriously, and it was precisely because of the founding of the country that he fell out with Qi Wang Tian Dan, and was finally defeated by the Qi army and ran to Yandi.

King Han, and then Mingxin, you can imagine how shocked the other King Han should be, and then how hateful he should be.

Han Wang Chengcai is the king of Han recognized by the nations, and Zhang Liang is connecting and running around in various places, there is no doubt that Han Wangxin is unlucky.

At that time, Yandi was under the joint control of Zang Di and Han Guang, and Yan Wang Ji Xia was just a puppet figure. Zang Di and Han Guang were very vigilant about Han Wangxin coming to Yandi, the reason why they were vigilant was because of Zhang Liang's contributions, and the facts also proved that their vigilance was not superfluous, Han Wangxin should have recruited troops after entering Yandi, and ignored the fact that Yan had already recovered, and took a group of remnants of the defeated generals to play the business of collecting taxes, so didn't you say it? In one word, that's dry.

Although Yan Guo is a relatively weak one among the nations, there is still no problem in dealing with the remnants of Han Wangxin's defeated army. Originally, Zang Di and Han Guang also killed Han Wangxin, but the two of them chose to let go of the horse because Han Wangxin was a king anyway, and they didn't know what kind of psychology they had.

Han Wangxin was not grateful to Zang Di and Han Guang's men for their mercy at all, he ran away and ran to the Donghu people north of Liaodong, and then it was the beginning of the bad Yan Kingdom, because Han Wangxin attracted the Donghu people, and the Donghu people began to constantly harass the border of Yan State, which is why Yan State has not been involved in the south in the first few years of its restoration, but Zang Tu and Han Guang took turns to lead troops to attack east and north, which was at war with the Donghu people.

According to Lu Zhe's original words, he was able to absorb and not kill, that is because Zang Di and Han Guang led the army to attack the alien race, and for the entire race, they opened up the territory, which can be regarded as a credit to the nation.

Later, didn't Han Guang find death once? After being defeated and captured, he was not slaughtered, and that was because this guy led his troops to capture the (Korean) Peninsula.

Han Wangxin lured the Donghu people to attack the Yan State, and the Donghu people did not take advantage of the Yan army at all, and then the Qi State maneuvered around, and the Donghu people reached a settlement with the Yan State after paying a certain price, and at the same time, some tribes of the Donghu also accepted the employment of the Qi State and went south to participate in the war.

Because Donghu reconciled with Yan, and then Donghu became an ally of Qi to some extent, Han Wangxin fled after knowing this.

Facts also proved that Han Wangxin escaped correctly, if he ran late, he should have been tied up and sent to the Qi country, and then his head was "clicked" off by the king of Qi, who hated him deeply.

Where did Han Wangxin go after he ran away from the Donghu people? That's right! He ran to the side of the Huns.

That Touman still seems to be in high spirits, because the Huns completely defeated the Yueshi people, and the western and central parts of the grassland, including the Hetao, became owned by the Xiongnu. Another important point is that Touman reached a consensus with the Ding Ling people in a meeting that the Huns and Ding Ling people would form a large alliance with the Hujie, Qu Sho, Hun Yu, and Hukun people. This alliance was not intended to invade the newly unified Great Qin in the south, but to deal with the aggressiveness of the Donghu people to the east.

To use the wrong word, the Donghu people are more cowardly to the Chinese ethnic groups in the south, but the Donghu people are very fierce to the Xiongnu and other people who are also grassland tribes, and have forced the Xiongnu or other grassland tribes to sacrifice horses and women more than once...... And so on and so forth.

The Donghu people went too far, that is, they gathered nearly 250,000 people to the door of the Xiongnu, asking the Huns to give up a piece of land they had snatched from the Yueshi people, and that territory was relatively important to the Huns, but the Huns agreed to cede it without saying a word.

Why were the Huns so simply? That's because the Huns were defeated in several battles with the Donghu people. It's not funny, it's that the Huns really keep losing to the Donghu people who are so intimidating to the Chinese ethnic group. And many times the Xiongnu can be tough with the Qin and Zhao states in the Chinese ethnic group, and it seems that they have just won a few times?

In that historical stage, the Donghu people were the overlords of the grassland, and as for the Huns, Ding Lingren, Hun Yu people, Qu Jie people, and Qikun people, they could only constantly avoid when facing Donghu.

The weakening of the Donghu began with an internal division, which was the contradiction between the mountainous Donghu in the southeast and the steppe Donghu in the north, and then the Donghu in the north became independent and became a new nomadic people, the so-called Xianbei.

If history hadn't been changed by Lu Zhe, Mao Dun would have reached a negotiation with the Xianbei people in a few decades. The two sides joined forces to attack the weakened Donghu.

After the defeat of Donghu, such a tribe as Donghu disappeared, partly by the Xiongnu and partly by the Xianbei. Many of them fled to the Heilongjiang region in later generations, and they finally disappeared in the long river of history, so the Tunguska wild boar skin is actually not a descendant of the Donghu people, and the Tunguska wild boar skin should be another tribe.

Han Wangxin ran to the side of the Xiongnu. Tou Man's southern invasion was absolutely inseparable from him, but he himself did not participate in the southern invasion.

It's not that King Han believes in any kind-race feelings, it's that he was put under house arrest by Touman. That's why I didn't go south. It is precisely because he was placed under house arrest by Touman that he will now stay safely by Jituo's side to give advice, otherwise he should have been captured or fled to the Western Regions with Maudun.

Jituo decided not to fight the imperial cavalry on the plains, that was a fact recounted by Han Wangxin, that fact is that even if the Huns were born a horseback people, but with the emergence of stirrups and improved saddles, the advantage of the Hun cavalry was that the imperial cavalry was equipped with stirrups and improved saddles, and had an overall lead in armament, in fact, the Huns no longer had any advantage in cavalry warfare.

In addition, Han Wangxin also specifically mentioned that after the defeat and loss of territory, there are less than 600,000 Huns left under Jituo's rule, and less than 160,000 of the 600,000 Huns can be concentrated for war. Previously, Touman had already gathered a large number of elites for the southern invasion, and it is really difficult to say how much combat power the newly assembled 160,000 can have.

Touman with the elite of the Huns...... Well, in fact, it is a young and sturdy man or woman, he took this group of people south, a large part of them were killed or captured, and a small number fled to the Western Regions with Maudun, in fact, there are really not many so-called elites in the Xiongnu hometown.

There is no elite, and the facts have proved that the imperial army is not afraid of cavalry warfare, so is it appropriate to fight on the plains? Apparently very inappropriate for the Gito Huns.

Han Wangxin also asked Ji Tuo a very realistic question, that is, in fact, there is more than one Xiongnu now, and some of them stay in their hometown, and Mao Dun also played the banner of Xiongnu in the Western Regions. In this way, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, one was the Jituo Xiongnu who had the name of heir, and the other was the Maodun Xiongnu who was the eldest son of Touman.

There are two Huns, and everyone knows that Mao Dun does not recognize Ji Tuo as the next Shan Yu at all, this is the one that Han Wangxin feels is the most serious problem. He made it very clear to Jituo that for the Xiongnu on this side of his hometown, the biggest enemy at present was no longer the empire, but Maotun, which would make the Xiongnu fall into division. He swore that the Empire was an external enemy, and that an external enemy would always be able to resist if he was determined to resist, and might be able to win one day in the future, but that the internal enemy was the most terrifying.

Many Xiongnu nobles agree with Han Wangxin's words, they also think so, the Xiongnu are at war with foreign enemies, even if they can't win, they can run, and they won't say that they will die in a moment, but in the face of two voices inside, it will only be the most deadly, which will make the Xiongnu split, and the grassland has been proven countless times that any infighting or split tribe will eventually disappear and cease to exist.

Well, Han Wangxin may really think so, and he also firmly believes that the internal enemy is more dangerous than the external enemy who is invading him, and then he really doesn't want the Xiongnu to be finished so quickly, because once the Xiongnu are finished, he really doesn't know which "next home" to find to shelter. So, he gave what he thought was the right suggestion to Jitu, and Jitu asked the Hun nobles to deal with Maudun first, and then to deal with the empire that was invading them, and this decision appeared.

What's the situation now? It was the Gitohuns who decided to use the terrain to hold back the Empire's attack, believing that it was impossible for the Empire to go to war for many years, and that the Empire's invasion would definitely end if it dragged on long enough.

Ji Tuo sent people to the empire more than once, saying that it was good to be inferior or anything, and first tried to reconcile with the empire, but seeing the outbreak of war in the northern frontier, it was obvious that the emperor did not think that there was anything to reconcile.

Unable to reconcile, Jitu changed his method, fighting to fighting, the enemy to the enemy, and then the Huns...... At least the Huns under his leadership were willing to pay the price to redeem Huiman. The empire has not yet given a reply.

Presumably, because the empire did not reply, Gito had a feeling that it was possible to achieve his goal? He really needs Touman to return to the grassland, once Touman returns, at least Mao Dun will not have the status of self-reliance, so that the Huns will still be one Huns, not two!
