Volume 8: Chapter 283 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": A Critical Period

In the attic, the woman's body was completely shrunk in the dark, and she was whispering to report the news of the secret investigation in the Han Kingdom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lin Bin listened to it very monographically, he had always suspected that the image of Han Yan, the envoy of the Han State, was different from the rumors, and he never thought that the probability of the Son of Heaven being disguised was as high as seventy percent.

There are no waves in the eyes of the red dress, and a successful spy is disguising himself at all times. She said what she had to say, and made sure that her master had not commanded, and the figure disappeared in a flash of darkness.

Lin Bin is still secretly regretting that the news came too slowly, otherwise many things would have been changed. He wouldn't kill Liu Che, but even if he sent Liu Che to his seclusion, it would be enough to cause catastrophic consequences, and achieving his goal would be a matter of raising his hand.

This is the limitation of the times, it takes time to probe, and it takes even more time to deliver information.

"Send someone to chase?"

This idea was not implemented, and Lin Bin could imagine that Liu Che had already broken away from the escort of his own escort and relied on prior preparations to reach an absolutely safe place.

Since it has lost its feasibility, it is useless to think too much, Lin Bin secretly admired the boldness of the Son of Heaven and thought strangely in his heart: "It seems that the Han Kingdom has reached a critical moment, otherwise the Son of Heaven will definitely not risk himself." Do you want to come this time the Son of Heaven really has the sincerity to cooperate? He put aside his useless thoughts, leaving the attic and stepping out into the hallway to the Privy Council.

The strength of the military is actually a danger, and the top level of the Han Ministry knows that the Xiongnu have regarded themselves as a disease in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they are the kind that absolutely need to be weakened or eliminated. For this reason, the top management of Hanbu knew very well what they were going to do next.

With the change of seasons, large-scale wars on the steppe can basically be ruled out, which means that even if there is any movement of the Xiongnu within this year, it will not be very large. It's a time difference. During this period of time, the Han did not have to spend too many resources to defend against the Huns, so that the Han could devote more resources to fight against Wei's Korea.

We must not underestimate the impact of resource allocation on war, in fact, war is fought with resources. Of course, resources are a more general term, which includes all aspects, and a person and a weapon are also part of resources.

Liaodi began to get cold by mid-September; In early October, the rainfall will increase and the roads will of course become muddy. But that's not all, snow is bound to fall by mid-October, and the amount of snow varies from region to region; In early November, the rivers in Liaodi will begin to freeze. By mid-November, the frozen river ice had become largely thicker.

There was never a shortage of livestock as a means of transportation, but it would be difficult to transport grain when the roads became muddy, so a response had to be conceived before the roads became muddy.

In this era, the commander-in-chief of the army not only needed to be familiar with the art of war, but also learned to observe the weather. Use climate change to turn the tide or consolidate the results.

As early as fifteen days ago. That is, on the fifth day of the ninth month, when the strategic policy of the Han Ministry was determined, the Central Council was already sending grain and other necessities to the Wei's Korean front. The new batch of munitions sent to the front line is extremely large, and it is expected to provide 200,000 troops for up to half a year's consumption in peacetime. Of course, the intensity of the divisional war is determined, and the time for attrition to bottom out will also be long. However, that is already half of the strategic materials stored by the Han Ministry.

The so-called strategic materials are not simply limited to the food of necessary consumables, and there are not many things that can be called strategic materials in this era of scientific and technological development, which includes but is not limited to consumable weapons such as knives, shields, spears, bows, crossbows, and arrows; The armor class is much simpler, and it is impossible to wear heavy cold iron armor in winter. The season also has a great impact on leather armor, and the greatest consumption in winter combat is wool jackets.

Hanbu is definitely not poor. She has countless livestock, livestock is food, the army has not yet had a shortage of food, during the cold season will be slaughtered according to the custom of the grassland, the meat will be made into jerky, meat foam, meat patties and other easy-to-preserve food. However, the Han Department had a weakness that was difficult to solve in a short period of time, that is, the industry was underdeveloped, which also limited the army's combat performance, and the army could not afford to fight a war of attrition.

Looking back on the history of the Han wars in the past, the Han army has always avoided a war of attrition, and the only war of attrition was carried out in Guangmu in Shuofang, after which the Han began to suffer a great loss of vitality, and the invasion of Liao was also affected by twists and turns, the most obvious example is that because of the large number of arrows rationed to the Black Flag Army, other legions in the fight against Wei Korea because of the shortage of arrows have no way to form an advantageous long-range strike or suppression force.

In the Council of Secrets, Lin Bin once again emphasized the goal of the winter operation, and the main motive of this winter operation was not to destroy Wei's Korea, but to systematically weaken the military strength of Wei's Korea, occupy as many cities as possible in the Wei's Korean protrusion, and form an effective garrison area.

In this way, it not only avoided the large-scale consumption of the military strength of the Han Dynasty in Wei's Korea, but also completed the strategic intention of suppressing Wei's Korea on the Korean Peninsula.

Some people will ask: "Why did such a good battle come out after suffering losses?" ”

Obviously, people are passive primates, and it is difficult to grow wisdom in a comfortable situation without eating a turtle. Before the First World War, the Han army was basically smooth sailing, and the consequences of being too confident had been seen by everyone, and they had to be cautious about the rest of the war.

Han Anguo is currently gradually changing, at the beginning he did not integrate into the power circle of the Han Ministry, so he was naturally reluctant to make a big effort, and now he has initially integrated into the power circle of the Han Ministry and began to play his role.

Basically, there are very few generals in the Han Department who have learned systematic strategic deployment and tactical command, except for the military generals of the original pre-Qin, the generals who followed Lin Bin step by step from the bottom to fight are all slowly accumulated combat experience in actual combat, even Lin Bin himself is learning while fighting and slowly forming his own unique style.

It is not difficult to learn how to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but the difficult thing is to sit in the rear and coordinate the war, that is, to make strategic deployments, and to be able to contain or use limited conditions to create a situation favorable to one's own side. According to the way of later generations, the general who is called the commander type and the general who fights on the battlefield is called the general and the commander in this era.

Thousands of armies are easy to get, a general is hard to find, a general is still hard to find, what about a handsome? How many generals can there be a handsome talent?

In some respects, Han Anguo is a handsome talent, he has a keen strategic vision and a solid military foundation, in fact, what is even more rare is that he also has a certain degree of attainment in domestic affairs. It is a strange phenomenon that such a talent has not developed well in Hanguo, but it seems that it is not difficult to understand, all because Han Anguo does not have a tough backstage in Hanguo!

It has only been more than 70 years since the establishment of the Han State, but this regime is aging at a very rapid rate, and it is hard to imagine what the internal family lords would have made the Han State look like if it were not for the external threat of the Xiongnu and the absence of external threats. And it seems that history has written the answer, and the Han Kingdom was finally divided by a forest of family valves, and finally disappeared in the long river of history.

Lin Bin also did not forget one person, Li Guang, who was imprisoned in the Xilin Courtyard for assassinating himself.

Li Guang is different from Han Anguo, and the difference here does not refer to loyalty, but to his role as a soldier. Li Guang is a general, he can charge on the battlefield, but he can't think about the battle situation, although it can affect the direction of the war, but basically can't change the outcome of the war, after all, there are many generals who will charge into battle, and the role of a brave general in the war is not very small.

The strategic goal for half a year has been determined, and the specific has been implemented, so that is to say, the Hanbu has entered the expected track, although there will be changes, but it will definitely not affect the development of the Hanbu.

Lin Binda's policy remained unchanged, and he wanted to take advantage of this period of constant warfare with the outside world to vigorously develop the internal affairs of the Han Province and improve the economy and industry. For a long period of time, the Han Dynasty will no longer take the initiative to launch large-scale wars against forces other than Wei's Korea, North Wo, and Nanwo, so as to correct the deformed development structure of the Han Ministry.

At the same time, according to the plan, the defense force of the Western Regions will be increased, so that the ally of the Western Regions will not be defeated by the Xiongnu in a short time, so that it is necessary to cooperate with the Western Regions to attack and harass the Xiongnu locally, and it may even be necessary to send reinforcements to the Western Regions at any time.

Of course, there was a huge risk that the Xiongnu would turn around and attack the Han in the royal court, but this would be kept to a minimum. As long as the Zuoxian King of Qiaobal Mountain does not move, the army of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting will not be able to cross Qiaobal Mountain to attack the Han Department, and the Xiongnu also have a sense of territory, so the most noteworthy thing is the intention of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Saiyinda.

A series of administrative strategies are implemented, and finally calculations and deductions are made.

The preliminary conclusion is that the Xiongnu will not have much movement in the short term, and it is impossible for the Xiongnu to unite the nobles within the Xiongnu at once, and the military ministers will need time to integrate, which is the so-called integration period.

Lin Bin was pleased to find that due to the instability of the eastern pattern, countries were either at war or preparing for war, and there was an incubation period before the volcano erupted, and the effect was a political confrontation.

"While fighting against Liaodi, it is necessary to unite friendly forces on the periphery. Need to better reorganize the Di people and unite the people of the Western Regions, who else can take advantage of it? ”
