Volume 6 "Warriors" Chapter 164: Intricacies
The morning fog was light, the fresh air was filled with an inexplicable scent of grass, the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was opened, and Lin Bin was dressed in heavy armor with fish scales and a horizontal knife pinned to his waist and walked out slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He straightened his waist and smiled gently at the soldiers who were standing in the big tent of the Chinese army for the night, and then turned his head to look at the eastern sky.
The morning sun shows half of its body on the horizon of the eastern sky, and there are no clouds around the egg-yellow halo, and the golden sunlight shining on the dew-covered grassland seems to embellish the world with countless bright colors and add vitality.
From afar, scattered herders are busy in the meadows with wooden barrels on their backs and spoon-like objects in their hands. The grasslands are short of water, and unless they occupy areas with abundant water and grass on the riverbanks, herders always need to go out to collect dew before the morning sun shows. Although there are many blades of grass in the plains, the water collected is only enough to boil and eat, and grooming and bathing are a very luxurious thing in the grasslands, and wasting water is recognized as a crime.
People often say, 'The morning glow doesn't go out; The sunset travels thousands of miles', Lin Bin saw an early morning without sunrise, which means that there will be no rain in at least two or three days, good weather is very rare before the summer solstice is coming, and good weather will appear when the war is about to begin, according to Xiao Fuzi's words: "This is an auspicious omen"
The desolate sound of antlers broke the silence of the early morning, and after the wake-up call was blown, the wool felt of the soldiers came out one after another, and they lined up neatly at the sound of the officer's order, and sang according to the rules of the barracks.
Lin Bin habitually walked to the temporary school ground, and he came here to keep playing a set of military boxing every morning without incident. Of course. This set of military fists has long been popularized throughout the army because it does not require any tools. He likes to listen to the slogans and practice with the soldiers in the school field, and the loud sound of 'shouting' and 'cheering' can make him regain the feeling of the past, as if he has never left.
The soldiers believed in the words of their own adults. 'Sweat a lot; Less bloodshed in wartime', martial arts are trained in the boring drill over and over again to train the habitual movements, once the action is practiced to a realm, the crisis can always subconsciously react to make that action to block or fight, which can save their lives more than once on the battlefield.
If you want to change someone, you always need to let people know what the benefits of doing what you say, and the inducement of benefits is always more effective than the imposition of coercion. The most obvious example of this is the Servants' disdain for martial arts. Firmly believing that the brave man was talented, they later saw that the Haw Par Cavalry continued to practice when they were corrected, and they learned from practical examples that talent was not as good as human effort. Under no strict demand, every time there will be a drill in the open space around the Haw Par Cavalry under the leadership of the officer.
After Lin Bin finished the drill, he asked his own soldiers to bring in the shadow, and the shadow of the soldier was shuttling between the phalanxes arranged by the soldiers.
Thousands of people were placed together, looking like a black oppression. Twenty or thirty thousand people were divided into several phalanxes and performed together. The momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and every neat "Whew! Or "Drink!" At the same time, he slammed his fist on the ground, and the earth seemed to shake.
The people who had nothing to do were all gathered around the periphery to watch, they had never seen such a scene, and they were all stunned. They didn't know what discipline was before, what team strength was, and when they saw the effect of discipline, they were not only shocked, but also had the idea that "this tribe will definitely be strong".
The superiority of civilization is Lin Bin's best weapon. A superior civilization can make people yearn for it, and let those who envy it spontaneously integrate into the system of advanced civilization without compulsion. He had previously planned the construction of the clan. But due to the reasons of time and living space, it has not been possible to implement.,He urgently needs a stable base to carry out all-round sinicization work for the people.。
According to Lin Bin's understanding: the reason why a nation is called a certain ethnic group (such as the Han nationality) is not entirely because of blood, in fact, it is more because of the influence of civilization, the Chinese nation was originally a small tribe at the source of the Yellow River, and it was annexed to other tribes in successive years of conquest, and only when it became strong did the consciousness of civilization appear, thus becoming an ethnic group.
Every nation grows in annexation and perishes in weakness, and a narrow theory of descent will only lead to the demise of a nation that could have been strong. The next generation will inevitably have problems such as giving birth to a deformed baby or the so-called golden blood with low IQ (the Roman royal family is an example), so it is necessary to increase the population in the expansion, which is the so-called fresh blood replenishment theory.
The main theme of annexation is unavoidable, from ancient times to the present, how many ethnic groups have been swallowed up and disappeared in the long river of history, since it is unavoidable, why do we need to limit our own development narrowly? Dead ends are a dead end that everyone can take, but few people dare to try flexible paths.
Taking a different path must be tested, Lin Bin identified a path, no matter what kind of historical evaluation he gets, he is going to take a completely different path. His ethnic group has had countless regrets, every time it is about to develop at a high speed is always destroyed by external forces, to the era when he was born, the glory has become history, can only be remembered from historical materials, people sigh countless times, sigh, sigh again, in addition to sighing is self-pity and self-sorrow......
"I'll keep going!"
Lin Bin immediately crossed his sword, watching nearly 20,000 soldiers wielding Bingge, he didn't care about any evaluation at all, according to his thoughts, in the process of rising, there would definitely be thousands of corpses lying on the ground, but if he could, the corpses lying on the ground could not all be sons of his own nation!
"There are many ways to rise, I just chose one to lead the integrated tribes to conquer the alien race, and I will definitely make achievements, so that the world can see what is the glory of our nation!"
***************************************************************************************
At three strokes in the morning, the soldiers who had eaten the morning food began to prepare for the march. Lin Bin would lead them to the plains in the middle reaches of the Hetao, about a hundred miles from the Han border, where they would wait for the thirteen cavalry to lead the Han people to rendezvous.
At present, there are still 30,000 cavalry remaining in the tribe. After Lin Bin left with 20,000 cavalry, Frost General was left behind to lead the 10,000 cavalry left behind to ensure the safety of the tribe's habitat. In addition, Shuang had a special task, he had to register the population of the tribe, recruit teenagers under the age of 15, and carry out preliminary reorganization according to the plan given by Lin Bin.
It has been mentioned countless times before that Lin Bin wants a tribe that will never stop the pace of war, so the system must be different from what people in this era know. Lin Bin not only planned to establish a youth army, but also put the youth army under his own command. He will also learn from the pre-Qin system of assigning suitable positions to all subordinates in order to give full play to the role of each individual, a method he collectively refers to as 'systematic management'.
Systematic management has been established as early as the early Qin Dynasty. The people of the pre-Qin period each had their own responsibilities, the elderly, women, and children farmed, and special people were arranged to enter the workshop to become the exclusive blacksmith of the empire, and these classes of people were unified to provide the country's army with food, weapons, and so on. Adults fight on the front lines to expand the country's territory.
Lin Bin borrowed from the system of the Qin Dynasty. Although it may not be very perfect at present, he believes that as long as the remnants of the pre-Qin are annexed, not only can they obtain the population of the pre-Qin and the technology of manufacturing weapons, but the set of horses, which was a small herding group during the Zhou Dynasty, has developed into a social system that makes the Six Kingdoms tremble after hundreds of years of change, and will also unfold her mysterious veil.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin Bin turned his head to see Zhang Qian wearing a black robe sitting on a war horse. Holding a Han envoy in his hand......
Zhang Qian lifted the battle of the festival, "General Lin." When to go? ”
Lin Bin looked at Zhang Qian, wanting to see something from Zhang Qian's face.
Just two days of getting along, Lin Bin saw from Zhang Qian what he saw was persistence and uprightness, he thought, "Maybe it is because of Zhang Qian's persistence that after being imprisoned by Yizhi for 12 years, he still does not forget to complete the mission of the Dayue clan all the time."
Lin Bin knew what the Da Yue clan was doing at the moment, according to the development of history, after the Da Yue clan was defeated by the Xiongnu and the king of the Da Yue clan was also killed by the Huns, the Da Yue clan began to migrate to the west, to the Aral Sea, the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River, a place collectively known as the west of the green ridge. The Da Yue clan collided with the Xia Kingdom, which had a large population base, in the western area of the Green Ridge, and a war broke out with the Serbs there, defeating the Serbs, destroying the Xia Kingdom, not only establishing the Kushan Empire, but also obtaining advanced gold-making technology from the Serbs, which is the so-called steel manufacturing formula.
If history had not gone wrong, it would have been fourteen years before Zhang Qian reached the territory of the Great Moon Clan. Lin Bin wanted to see what would happen if Zhang Qian found the people of the Dayue clan ten years in advance, and how history would change; Will it be happy to be happy after the big moon clan defeated the Serbs in history, and satisfied with the fat beauty in the west of the green ridge and did not want to turn around and return to the east.
Zhang Qian is an interesting person, if it were someone else, he would inevitably be angry after Lin Bin refused the reward from the Han Kingdom? Zhang Qian was not angry, he seemed to know that this was the end, and accepted the result calmly. I don't know where Zhang Qian's confidence comes from, he said a very strange thing to Lin Bin, saying that one day Lin Bin will willingly serve the Han Kingdom.
At this moment, Zhang Qian's face was full of seriousness, as if nothing had happened. He asked again, as if eagerly?
Lin Bin had a smile on his face, reached out and touched the mane of the Absolute Shadow, and did not answer Zhang Qian's words.
Zhang Qian didn't ask at all, he rode his horse closer, and saw Lin Bin staring intently at the busy soldiers, and sighed: "The general is really a god!" ”
Lin Bin turned his head and glanced at Zhang Qian strangely, "There is no god in the world. He replied: "There are many materials that need to be counted, and the horses and livestock also need to be adjusted, and they can be pulled out near noon." ”
Zhang Qian said very seriously: "General, don't be modest!" The general started from scratch, and now there are 60,000 people under his command, and there are also 300,000 troops. These 60,000 people are willing to die for the general, and the general's strength is already 10,000 more than the Xiongnu's troops in Heshuo, and it must be easy to attack Heshuo? ”
"War is not about numbers." Lin Bin's tone was so flat that there were no emotional fluctuations, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't fall into the ditch by yourself when you can't catch a fish." ”
Zhang Qian raised his eyebrows, "Why is this?" ”
"You just want the Tiger and Par Cavalry to fight the Huns, victorious or defeated. In the end, the forces of both sides will inevitably be depleted. If my guess is correct, Li Guang and Li Xi should have been recruiting soldiers by now to camp them on the Great Wall on the edge of the Queshui River. Just wait for the forces of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Heshuo to start a war, and the army under Li Guang and Li Xi will be pulled out, thinking that no one will find out about their existence, and waiting for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Xiongnu to lose both sides and then come out to pick up the bargain. ”
After Lin Bin finished speaking, he smiled mockingly, and Zhang Qian's face twitched with laughter, with indescribable embarrassment.
"Qian has something to understand, I hope the general will solve his doubts."
Lin Bin saw the grassroots galloping from afar. There are dozens of riders behind him, and he is silently calculating when he will get here.
"The general knows, why is he willing to lead the army to attack?"
"You don't need to know why you led the army to attack Heshuo."
Qian was confused. There is no unpleasantness to say a word! The general has no intention of returning to Han, why does he repeatedly help the Han State? ”
Lin Bin looked at Zhang Qian deeply, and Zhang Qian was stunned, and then rode his horse to meet the grassroots and others who were galloping.
Zhang Qian looked at Lin Bin with a complicated expression. It's not a good feeling in my heart. He had never understood Lin Bin. Of course, it is impossible to understand why Lin Bin did this. Lin Bin is planting a seed, as for whether it can take root and sprout, the responsibility is not his, it depends on whether the Han Kingdom can seize this opportunity.
************************************************************************************
Heshuo was a strategic point for both the Han and the Xiongnu, and to the north could directly attack the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, who had set up the royal court near Nuoshui, and to the south it threatened Chang'an, the capital of the Han State. Both the Han State and the Xiongnu attached great importance to Heshuo, a strategic place that the soldiers must fight, and the reason why the Xiongnu occupied this strategic place was because the Han State did not have the strength to attack. Indeed, the Han State lacked war horses. The number of cavalry was too small to take Heshuo on their own. But what if you add to this the Tiger and Leopard cavalry, which has no shortage of war horses and 60,000 cavalry?
The reason why Lin Bin attacked Heshuo was by no means to occupy Heshuo for a long time, and the tiger and leopard cavalry, which was still weak, wanted to occupy it because he wanted to die. What he wanted most was to gain access to the population and technology of the pre-Qin dynasty, and the land was not important to him.
When the Han State asked the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack Heshuo, Lin Bin guessed that the Han State must have been prepared, and then according to the news from the Han mainland, Lin Bin determined that the Han Kingdom's Shangjun, Taiyuan County, Yanmen County, and Beidi County were gathering troops, and he guessed that the Han State must have been stimulated by the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and wanted to make a move.
Let's not talk about how the Han State reached a unified opinion, Lin Bin can probably think that when today's son Liu Che must have drawn a judgment from the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry on the nomads, that is, now the Xiongnu's attack on the Western Regions must have entered the most critical stage, and the Xiongnu's troops left in the east have fallen to the lowest point in history.
Since Lin Bin guessed it, he saw a clue from Zhang Qian, Li Guang, and Liu Jing, how could he not take advantage of the win-win situation? He personally can't be an enemy of all the forces in Heshuo, not only to distract the attention of all the forces in Heshuo, but also to reduce casualties, and more importantly, to let the Han State expand in advance, and he doesn't mind being a knife, anyway, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry just wants to get population resources and technology.
The grassroots came up, "My lord, 20,000 cavalry troops are ready." Frost asked the Lord: Are the people pulling out in batches? ”
Lin Bin was looking at the scouts dressed as rangers, "Let the generals of the various departments wait for a while." ”
The grassroots should "swoop" to convey military orders.
The rangers drove their horses forward and clenched their fists at the same time, and exclaimed, "See your lord!" ”
"What's the military situation?"
"Lord Hui, as expected by your lordship, the Han army has assembled on a large scale, and the number of troops is 250,000!"
"Is it the army transferred from the mainland or the border army temporarily assembled?"
"It is the garrison of Shangjun, Taiyuan County, and Beidi County. There is nothing unusual in the Han mainland. ”
The scout in second position opened his mouth......
"Lord Yu: There is a Han army stationed in Shiyan City, with a strength of about 5,000. A large number of people were found in the south of Shiyan City, and there were countless frames from a distance. ”
"Where is Li Guangbu?"
"Li Guangbu is currently stationed in Binh Ding, the capital of Xihe."
Lin Bin pondered, he was unsure of the impact of his arrival and the rise of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the Han State's military campaign against Heshuo in advance. Since he even knows the Otsuki clan. How can you be unfamiliar with Han?
Judging from historical examples, when today's son Liu Che's current throne is not stable, he is not only restrained by the Dou Gate Valve Group. Even Liu An, the king of Huainan, was also peeking on the throne, what forced Liu Che, the son of today, to choose to go to war despite these threats?
Lin Bin had to guess, and he had to guess the answer. He asked the scout some more questions, and told the scout to continue exploring. He turned his head to look at Zhang Qian, who was not far away, but saw Zhang Qian staring intently at the cavalry formation that was already lined up and ready to set off, Zhang Qian's eyes were full of longing, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at a horse that had been driven by the herdsmen to an untrained horse.
"These horses are good horses. I wonder if the general is willing to sell it? ”
"Those are cubs that are less than a year old, and they are the best age to train."
"So, the general doesn't want to sell it?"
Lin Bin shook his head with a smile.
If only before. Of course, Lin Bin was willing to sell horses to the Han Kingdom, but the problem was that selling them to the Han Kingdom now was tantamount to self-abuse. In Lin Bin's mind, if the war went well, the Han Kingdom could get the north bank of the Hetao. This is equivalent to having its own war horse breeding base. At that time, as long as he left some good horse breeds, Han Guo would naturally find a way to increase the number on his own. The most important thing is that by the time the Han State had enough war horses, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already left the Han Territory. Very hypothetical thought: If there were enough war horses in the Han Kingdom now, would the situation still be the way it is now? It is estimated that the first one to suffer is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so Lin Bin will never ask for trouble.
"Qian heard that the general wants to set up a border city near Shiyan, I wonder if it is a plan to deceive the enemy?"
Lin Bin found that Zhang Qian's questions were always one after another, and he really didn't know if Zhang Qian was too curious or what military information he was inquiring about.
"Deceive the enemy army by establishing a border city. caused many forces to relax, and immediately the general led the army to attack again. The enemy army must be guarded against five times, and this way of 'going to the army to fight and plot' is also! It shows that the general is familiar with military books, but he still doesn't know what the general's favorite military books are? Have you read 'Wei Xuanzi'? Wei Yuzi said: 'The Yellow Emperor's punishment is virtuous, and he can win a hundred victories, what is it?'. Emperor Gaozu of the Holy Dynasty once made a plan: 'Ming repairs the plank road; Darkness Chencang. I wonder what the general thinks. ”
Lin Bin saw Zhang Qian's serious expression, as if he was discussing a very important issue, and kept smiling bitterly, knowing that if he didn't answer, it would be endless: "I have read a lot of the art of war, and the only ones I borrowed are "The Actual Record of Military Training" and "The New Book of Imitation and Discipline". ”
Zhang Qian's new question arises: "Who wrote this "Actual Record of Military Training" and "New Book of Discipline"? ”
Lin Bin was completely impatient, "Qi Jiguang! A national hero! Zhang Qian, who still wanted to ask a question after speaking, "It's time to go, are your entourage and guards ready!?" ”
Zhang Qian didn't seem to notice that Lin Bin was angry, and he didn't give up, "Qian has something to ask for." Qian was willing to pay 100,000 gold to get the "Practical Record of Military Training" and "New Book of Discipline" in the hands of the general, but I don't know if the general can accept it. ”
Lin Bin was speechless, and simply ignored Zhang Qian's desire to turn the horse's head and leave, but Zhang Qian jumped off the war horse and hurriedly ran to the head of the Shadow Horse, his tone was full of pleading: "I hope the general will be fulfilled!" ”
"Not for sale! Get out of the way! ”
When Lin Bin's name for being good at fighting was widely praised, countless people speculated that a famous teacher could teach such a master who knew both the art of war and was good at training the army, because Lin Bin's origin could not be discovered, the famous teacher could not be studied, and Lin Bin himself never talked about the famous teacher who did not exist at all, and people's eyes began to turn to whether Lin Bin had a mysterious military book.
One theory went from one theory to another, and countless different versions of the rumors were produced, and finally everyone firmly believed that it must be a unique book written by a peerless master. The world thinks that Lin Bin is a martial artist who is not very smart, since he is not smart, he can learn military books by himself and have such achievements, what will happen if he is smart?
Very good and powerful, when the attention shifted to Lin Bin, Liu Jing had entered the Chinese army's tent more than once to rummage, but every time she didn't find it, she turned her eyes to Lin Bin, thinking that the precious things must be carried with her, which is why many ambiguous things happened in the early stage.
When the rumors become more and more outrageous, even if someone makes any unreasonable moves, it is reasonable......
Zhang Qian knew that a superb military book was equivalent to pricelessness, and he also understood that his actions were very unreasonable, "If this is not the case: Qian is a general who finds a good disciple among the sons of the saint, and inherits the mantle for the general." I don't know if that's okay? ”
He was afraid of being stunned, Lin Bin was made to cry and laugh, and after thinking about it, he was going to write some suggestions to Liu Che, so it didn't hurt to simply write down the training methods and tactics that he still remembered. Thinking of this, he nodded sullenly: "I don't need any prince, I will write it, as for whether it will be handed over, I will not guarantee it." ”
The implication: I will not raise enemies for myself.
A bit of tongue finally made Zhang Qian smile gratefully, "Qian thank you General for the Han Kingdom." Qian will also praise the general's benevolence and righteousness all the time. ”
Lin Bin felt that he was annoyed and had a headache, this Zhang Qian was too good at grinding, and he really didn't know how he trained it?
Lin Bin came to the front of the neatly arranged cavalry, and he looked down at his watch, which showed 10:12 minutes.
The neatly arranged cavalry looked at Lin Bin's raised hand with wide eyes, and when that hand was waved down forcefully, a desolate horn sounded through......
"Let's go!" (To be continued) (To be continued.) )
