Volume 8: Chapter 280 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": There are many concerns
"Why did the monarch suddenly ask me to wait for Han Yan, the envoy of the Han Kingdom, to be strictly monitored?"
"I don't know. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info does what should be done, just do what is ordered. ”
"That's how it should ......"
"Alright, let's go!"
The two backs moved away, and they turned into the corner and disappeared in an instant.
……
- The Council of Secrets:
Lin Bin stood in front of the map and looked at the direction of the Umu grassland, according to the scout's long-term report, the Umu grassland did not find the whereabouts of the Xiongnu army. None of them were found to be a big discovery, in the past, the Umu grassland could often encounter the Huns' scouts, but now I didn't even see a scout, and things seemed very abnormal.
Wei's Korea in the east has been much more active recently, and it has changed its strategic deployment of not going out of the city for field battles, and has gone out to fight with the Tiger Army many times.
Although there are signs of gathering troops in the direction of Choibal, King Zuo Xian only gathered troops and did not lead the army, which seems to be just a routine autumn hunt, but it is still worth paying attention to.
The most noteworthy thing is the resurgence of the rebel forces in the occupied areas, and many residential areas were attacked by guerrillas, although there were no serious casualties among the Han people, but the people living in various places obviously became a little panicked.
Han Anguo's brows had been furrowed for a long time, he turned around and walked to the simple sand table to stare at the cautious part of the occupied area, looked at the small banner that represented the scope of the resistance forces, and said worriedly: "If you continue like this, you will be ......." I thought it would be necessary to send troops to clear it and demarcate a warning area. Limit the swing range of the mob, carry out oppressive evictions, and force resisting enemies to huddle in a heap. And then exterminate in one fell swoop. ”
Meng Zhao nodded secretly, although the strategy proposed by Han Anguo to suppress bandits will consume a lot of time, it is a feasible method, of course, the premise is to increase the troops, otherwise it is still a bit hanging.
Lu Yan had some doubts: "If the bandits disappear like last time, and then attack again when the garrison relaxes, what can they do?" ”
The instability of the occupied areas caused the Han to waste a lot of troops stationed there. At present, the number of troops in the occupied area is 35,000 men, who are scattered in the territory of the servant country and the territory of the former Sushen, and 20,000 soldiers are stationed along the border line to defend against possible attacks in Beiwo. So 35,000 people seems like a lot. In fact, they were scattered, and the resistance had no fixed targets, no bases to supply, and their whereabouts were uncertain, and it was difficult to drive them away and annihilate them with a small number of troops.
Lu Yan saw that Han Anguo was silent, and simply went straight down and said: "In my opinion, if the bandits are so active, someone must be secretly funded. Or give food, or secretly report, or participate in the attack! If you want to never suffer again...... Expelling or killing the aborigines is the best strategy! ”
Han Anguo's spine couldn't help but chill. I thought with palpitations: "The pre-Qin people are really ruthless!" ”
Although the population census has not yet been conducted for the aborigines living in the occupied areas, the number of people, including Fuyu, should be conservatively estimated to be about 350,000, of which the majority of the population in Fuyu who did not suffer from the war should be 270,000.
Earlier it was a state of war, and it was understandable that the invading army was resisted and killed, and the massacre had already been carried out once, and the results were clearly very bad. Now most of the aborigines have been converted. Mass murder was carried out again through the fault of a few......
Han Anguo was categorical: "No! Damnation will be upon him to do such an exterminating thing! If you kill this time, who will dare to surrender in the future? Such an act of destroying the country and exterminating the species is really impossible! ”
Lu Yan was not annoyed at all. He actually laughed: "What about killing? We are soldiers, and there is a saying in the monarch that 'soldiers exist to kill people', but are there soldiers in the world who do not kill people? ”
Meng Zhao secretly glanced at Lin Bin, who was standing in front of the map and pondering, and found that Lin Bin was completely indifferent to the quarrel between the two generals, obviously thinking about something more important.
Han Anguo smiled bitterly: "It's natural to kill people during war, but ...... Now it is the unarmed common people who are going to be killed, and it is the common people who have been converted, how can it be convenient to carry out the extermination and massacre because of the suspicion that someone has funded the land? Has Commander Lu ever thought that if one clan is destroyed today, how many clans will be destroyed tomorrow? Once by accident, twice by necessity, and three times by the butcher. If we do this, we will have to fight against the stubborn enemy army in the future, and how many casualties will our soldiers have? ”
Lu Yan repeated with a smile: "We are soldiers!" ”
Han Anguo smiled bitterly.
Lu Yan used an affirmative sentence: "The obligation of a soldier is to kill people." The death of those who resist is a shock and indispensable! Destroy a clan and get peace, who will dare to repeat the people of the country in the future!? ”
And most importantly...... Lu Yan knows very well that at present, the Han Department does not have any extra troops to invest in the occupied area, because of the change in the situation, the Han Department will inevitably make a strategic change, and if there are enough troops, they will only be transferred to the Wei's Korean Theater or transferred to the northwest to deploy defenses, so it is completely necessary to carry out a slaughter-style deterrence, time waits for no one, since the cautious aborigines do not want to give up resistance, then it is better to die.
Han Anguo looked at Meng Zhao, hoping that Meng Zhao would stand up and say a few words, in an era when morality is so important, large-scale slaughter will inevitably suffer from side eyes, once the reputation is bad, it is too difficult to make up for it, and the consequences of a negative reputation cannot be ignored, which will affect a lot, first of all, the resistance will be doubled every time the war is encountered, which is tantamount to asking for trouble.
Meng Zhao looked back at Han Anguo, grinning toothily, very bright and sunny.
Han Anguo: "......? "He's a little confused, and the impression of Meng Zhao is also a person who opposes indiscriminate massacres, right? How can it be indifferent? Waiting for him to see Meng Zhao paying attention to Lin Bin, he understood the source of the 'old god is there', and meditated: "That's right! The king has not yet expressed his position, and everything is still inconclusive. ”
……
Lin Bin was very bored, he had long known that the Xiongnu had made a big move, and his judgment did not seem to be wrong, the target of the Xiongnu's attack this time was still the Western Regions, but this time it was a little different? If the Xiongnu really cooperated with Liu An, the king of Huainan, then the military minister Shan Yu's attack on the Western Regions should not be based on comprehensive occupation, but should be to open up a strategic channel and oppress the Western Regions coalition forces within a certain range, forcing the Western Regions coalition forces to be unable to move.
Then again, Lin Bin doubted that the Huns had the term 'strategic channel' in the dictionary, what was the ideal plan for the military ministers to suppress the Western Regions Alliance? There is no doubt that the military minister Shan Yu must swallow up the thirteen states of the Western Regions, including Pu, Cheshi, Yuli, and Beilu, and then drive the Western Regions coalition forces to the west of the Mana Basin, relying on the desert as a barrier, so as to achieve the strategic goal.
Lin Bin was most puzzled by the fact that the previous Huns did not enter the hinterland of the Western Regions, and the battle line stopped at Cheshiguo.
"It can't be that someone from the Western Regions has been bought, right?"
The more Lin Bin thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, after all, the ethnic structure of the Western Regions was very complex, and there were more than 50 large and small states in such a difficult place......
"Your Majesty?"
Lin Bin turned around and saw that the three generals didn't know when they were approaching, and the javelins seemed to be standing behind him.
"What is your concern?"
Lin Bin had been thinking alone for nearly two hours unconsciously, and when he saw Meng Zhao's concern, he smiled gently: "I'm thinking about what the Huns will do next." ”
Lu Yan was relatively straightforward, since Lin Bin was thinking about how to deal with the Huns, then ......, he asked in a sullen voice: "The king wants to unite with the Han State to defend against the enemy?" ”
Meng Zhao and Han Anguo showed concerned expressions at the same time, which was exactly what they wanted to ask but didn't know how to phrase.
"Han Kingdom...... Unreliable. ”
Obviously, Lu Yan and Han Anguo breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, while Meng Zhao was stunned.
It is understandable that Lu Yan does not want to cooperate with Han Guo, why does Han Anguo also reject it? The reason is that Han Anguo is a traitor, and if Lin Bin wants to cooperate with Han, Han Anguo will definitely be unlucky.
"The king does not unite with the Han State to defend against the enemy?" Meng Zhao was extremely puzzled: "...... that?" ”
Lin Bin didn't have a little expression on his face: "The Han State will not sincerely cooperate with us, in the eyes of that Son of Heaven, we are also rebellious, relatively speaking, it is only the current threat to him, his primary enemy is the internal Liu An and other princes, and then the powerful Xiongnu, he himself has no way to fight alone and wants to drag us into the water, borrow our strength to compete with the Xiongnu, according to me, he wants us to be cannon fodder, and he wants to push us into the fire pit when he gives a little material as sweetness." ”
Lu Yanyin measured: "It's still the same trick of borrowing a knife to kill people." ”
Meng Zhao only cared about practical issues, and asked in confusion: "The king has already made a decision?" ”
Lin Bin pondered for a while and smiled bitterly: "The idea is not yet mature, but I insist that the breakthrough is very close to us, but I have not found it yet." What we can do now is to try our best to help our allies, the people of the Western Regions, and let Lu Yan contact the Di people in Liangdi (Liangzhou) to organize the Di army to move westward, hoping to buy more time. We deployed troops in the northwest and waited for the situation to develop further. ”
Han Anguo asked: "In this way, the Han State is fighting the Han State, and we are fighting ours?" ”
Lin Bin smiled bitterly as always: "Without cooperation with the Han State, we only need 50,000 people to defend the border line with the Han State; In cooperation with the Han State, we will send at least 250,000 regular troops to help the Han State establish a defensive line; Declaring war on the Han State is simpler, taking advantage of the fire to rob 300,000 people to reach Chang'an. He paused, ignoring Lu Yan's hot gaze: "But don't consider this, just make a wedding dress for others, and don't think about coming out again when you fall into this melee quagmire." ”
The three generals looked at each other, and although they were still a little confused, they decided to obey.
