Volume 8: Chapter 296 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": Unwillingness; Not really
Zhao Xin is in a hurry, in fact, some people who are several times higher than him are also in a hurry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info such as Jiahe who is sitting in the Wumu grassland, the frost of the Shence Army, and Lin Bin who is far away in Xilin, many people are waiting.
It's been said that it's better to adapt to the times than to create situations that can be exploited, but is that really that easy? If the current situation is so easily created, there is no such thing as a 'current situation' in this world. Not to mention obeying the mandate of heaven or anything, it is never so easy for people to turn things around.
In the early days, when the battle plan was formulated, there was only one purpose, and that was to use the leopard army to drag Yi Zhixie's army and prevent Yi Zhixie's Liwang Ting army from entering the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence and wreaking havoc, the reason was that he did not want to destroy the defense chain that he had worked so hard to manage. If it is destroyed and wants to get it up again, then it is not just a matter of how much it costs, but time does not allow.
The task of the Leopard Army is so simple, to compete with Yi Zhixian's Right Valley Liwang Ting Army on the frontal battlefield, and to block Yizhi Xian outside the Wumu grassland, so that it can not only consume the Xiongnu's vital strength, but also consume the Xiongnu's already small war materials.
Of course, Jiahe is also consuming himself while consuming Yizhixian, but the Han Department can afford to consume it relatively much, after all, the Han Department only has a limited number of enemies, and the Xiongnu are now fighting on several sides. The Xiongnu are now both gnawing at the Han and wanting to swallow the Western Regions, and at the same time, the military minister Shan Yu also remembers to attack the Han State.
Then there is another unexplained question! Why did Lin Bin need the Leopard Army to drag the Yougu Liwang Ting Army on the battlefield of the Umu Grassland? This is a question worth pondering. Lin Bin dragged the Yougu Liwang Tingjun in the Umu grassland, and what he saw was that Yi Zhixian would not fight to the death, and then he looked forward to how the Xiongnu would deal with the Western Regions.
Yizhi's ambition is always to snatch the throne of the Xiongnu Dadanyu. Therefore, he will not spare any money to make contributions to the court of the military minister Shan Yu, under this premise, Yi Zhixian will choose to preserve his strength, so it can be judged that Yi Zhixian also wants to delay. It would be better if the two sides started to confront each other after a few battles.
Since both sides don't have the heart to fight hard, why are they all putting on a desperate posture?
Why did Lin Bin send the Leopard Army, one of the main forces, to Wumu, and later distributed half of the Shence Army to the Umu Grassland?
Why did Yi Zhixian pull all the troops he could bring to the direction of the Wumu grassland, and he was stunned to bring all the wealth he could bring with him, making it look like he would not withdraw the army without capturing the Han Army?
There are so many mysteries in everything.
Well, no matter what Yi Zhixian is thinking for the time being, Lin Bin's actions and sketches are very clear!
According to the plan of the Privy Council of the Han Ministry. The current military strength of the Xiongnu has been improved, and it is preliminarily judged that the number of Xiongnu Shan Yuting's army is about 300,000, and it has risen back to the peak period of military ministers in the hands of Shan Yu!
Of course. The army of 300,000 is the army that the military minister can directly control, and it does not include the 80,000 of the court army of the right valley Liwang, the 50,000 of the right Xian king, and the 70,000 of the left Xian king. As for the other pawns and canals. The collection of small shares should also be about thirty or forty thousand. And the number of Pi Xiaowang's army is even more unremarkable, after all, the Xiongnu are a nomadic social structure, and no one knows how many soldiers the nobles have.
Just after annexing a few aristocratic military ministers, Yu alone returned to its heyday, then you can imagine how much the population base of the Xiongnu nation should be, and the social structure of dismounting as herdsmen and horses as soldiers is simply an inexhaustible arsenal!
Another point that cannot be ignored is that there are many tribes of other ethnic groups in the vast steppe, and these tribes are also one of the sources of Xiongnu recruitment.
Trying to defeat the Huns is really not something that can be done in a year or two. That requires planning, and it requires being prepared for a long battle.
The strength of the Xiongnu has been counted. The Council began to guess how big the ambition of the military minister Shan Yu was, and he was dumbfounded!
There is no doubt that the Xiongnu and the Han must have gone to war, and the Xiongnu's ambition to annex the Western Regions is also unprecedentedly strong, and the Xiongnu also have an enemy that must be dealt with and is most eager to deal with, the Han State!
What else is missing? Oh!! I almost forgot about the Otsuki clan! I heard from many herdsmen who migrated from the west that the Da Yue clan had basically defeated the Serbs in the Xia Kingdom, and several tribes left by the Da Yue clan in the east (Xiao Yue clan) were making a lot of noise near Kangju (about the part of Indochina), and sometimes the Yue people attacked Kangju or simply ran to the territory of the Xiongnu to spread wilderness.
Lin Bin also felt bored after calculating it, he thought that it was the strength of the Xiongnu that provoked people everywhere, and it was unreasonable to have so many enemies that the Xiongnu did not weaken.
Wasn't the time when the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu went to war in history when the Xiongnu were the weakest? And it was the weakest period of the Huns, and they fought for decades!
Lin Bin has been thinking about why he fought for so long, and finally came to an unexpected answer, the reason for the key is not anything else, but that the Han Dynasty at that time failed to form an alliance with the enemies of the Xiongnu in time to attack the Xiongnu from multiple directions, so that the war dragged on and on for almost two generations, and the Han State finally won Yes, as a result, its national strength was also squeezed out.
Since he came to this conclusion, Lin Bin went to unite with the people of the Western Regions, almost helping the Western Regions resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, and this kind of upside down help allowed him to gain the friendship of the people of the Western Regions, but it was only friendship, and he did not get actual benefits.
Last time, Lin Bin simply put forward a request to buy war horses from the Western Regions, but as a result, the answer given by the Western Regions was very reluctant, the people of the Western Regions said that they themselves were also fighting and did not have many war horses for sale, maybe because of face or worried that Lin Bin would no longer help the Western Regions when he was angry, the people of the Western Regions counted left and right before squeezing out thirty stallions and one hundred and twenty mares, which was called "no money" and "This is a gift from the people of the Western Regions to the King of Han", in fact, Lin Bin wanted to buy five thousand West Pole horses and five hundred heavenly horses (Dawan horses) The wish was not realized, especially Dawan, they didn't even say anything at all, which really made the generals of the Han Department angry for a few days.
Compared with the anger of the generals, Lin Bin behaved calmly. His move was to test how much war potential the Western Regions had, to be honest, he definitely didn't want to see a Western Regions with strong war potential, after all, the Western Regions were destined to be one of the sacred and inviolable territories of the Han Dynasty in the future. Isn't it hard to get along with yourself if you want a potential enemy to be strong?
The so-called no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, now Lin Bin's help to the Western Regions is just a step on the road to conquest, didn't he finally decide to go south after delaying and delaying? What road people need to take is predestined, and efforts are just to make the road easier and less bumpy.
……
"Yi Zhixie's right valley Liwang Tingjun has arrived at the periphery of the Umu grassland, it is estimated that it has now met with the leopard army, the first step of our plan has been expected, whether Yi Zhixian will be desperate will know in a few days. If Yi Zhixian really does not attack as expected. When that old bastard leads the army out of the old camp, our second step plan should be implemented, right? ”
This tone and tone sounded very similar to Lin Bin for a moment, and the person who spoke was definitely not Lin Bin. It was Lin Bin who also sat on the top and kept looking at the person who spoke with a wry smile, and that person was none other than Yan Ge, who returned to Xilin after nine deaths and hardships two days ago!
Yan Ge's return was important to Lin Bin, and Yan Ge confirmed that the Bank of China said that there was no rebellion. Waiting for Lin Bin to ask him, "Since there is no rebellion, why are people missing?" Yan Ge's reply was, "The Bank of China said that he fell ill while fleeing, and the general could only hide him and let his soldiers take care of him." Yan Ge's word 'care' is very important, and it is obviously an element of surveillance.
Lin Bin was very surprised after knowing a series of things, he was not only surprised by the 'loyalty' that Zhongxing said, but also surprised by Wei Meng's courtesy to Liu Jing, the princess of the Han Kingdom.
The Bank of China said that he did not rebel again, and his performance in Wang Jiancheng, the capital of Wei's Joseon State, was remarkable, and he had been fighting for the interests of the Han Ministry, even after Wei Meng turned his face, he did not accept the surrender.
Listen to Yan Ge's relay. The Bank of China said that when facing the surrender, it said: "We surrendered the Xiongnu because the emperor forced us to send us to the Xiongnu, and the king of Han was surrendered because the king of Han did not kill us!" Now you want us to bring you down? No way! ”。 Yan Ge also said a little bit of his own thoughts, in short, it is not that the Bank of China says how loyal, but that he looks down on Wei's North Korea, thinking that Wei's North Korea is too weak and has no value in working for Wei's North Korea......
How did you win Weimeng's pursuit? How to get back to Xilin? Is it necessary to go on a long story? There's no need!
It is worth mentioning that Wei Meng is very good to Liu Jing, Wei Meng even showed admiration for Liu Jing, and let Liu Jing, the princess of the Han Kingdom, show her tone many times, saying that she wants to propose to the Son of Heaven of the Han Kingdom!
Lin Bin's mood was very complicated after hearing this, he knew what Wei Meng was thinking, it was nothing more than wanting to reconcile with the Han State and use the power of the Han State to weaken the Han Dynasty, as for whether he really admired Liu Jing or not, it didn't matter, Wei Joseon just wanted to marry the Han State. And what the performance of the Han State is not worth paying attention to, the Han State will definitely not pay attention to Wei's Korea, the reason is that Wei's Korea is now one of the allies of the Xiongnu, and the Han State also wishes that Wei's Korea and the Han Department are fighting hard, and the Han State is standing by and watching, there is no need to insert it to join in the fun.
So why is Lin Bin in a complicated mood? There is no other reason, because he rescued Liu Jing from the Huns, and they lived together for more than a year, although Lin Bin didn't like Liu Jing, but people always have feelings, and some things are not erased if they want to, otherwise they wouldn't want to send Liu Jing back to the Han Kingdom.
Lin Bin can imagine that the spicy mother-in-law must be very sad now, and the reason why Liu Jing fell into the hands of Wei Meng seems to have a lot of responsibility, this time seems to ignore the fact that Liu Jing is in the hands of Wei's North Korea, and the Han Ministry's attack on Wei's North Korea is becoming more and more fierce every time, and he just didn't think about Liu Jing's life or death as a hostage......
Yan Ge found that Lin Bin had lost his mind for a while, and he couldn't help but call: "Your Majesty? There was still no response under this call, and he also guessed what Lin Bin was thinking, so he simply poured tea into his belly without speaking, and talked to Tong Ze about the war in the Wumu grassland while pouring it.
……
Lin Bin is indeed distracted, sometimes he doesn't think about it when he recalls, but once he thinks about it, he can't control it.
To tell the truth, the reason why Lin Bin is like this now is almost due to Liu Jing, if there is no support from Liu Jing in the early stage, there would be no original tiger and leopard cavalry, because it has not grown up, it has either been wiped out by the grassland people, or it has been wiped out with a stroke of the pen of the Son of Heaven of the Han Kingdom. Because of Liu Jing's existence, the first armed force in Lin Bin's hands was preserved and slowly developed, which cannot be denied.
The later development was actually not what Lin Bin was willing to see, he thought that he would be more obedient to the court, and it should be fine if Liu Jing spoke for himself, but it turned out to be the opposite, it is understandable that the court could not tolerate an uncontrolled army, the only thing that Lin Bin didn't understand was why Liu Jing suddenly changed his attitude and became so resolute?
There is a fact that both Lin Bin himself and Liu Jing know, that is, Liu Jing will not be able to return to the center of the Han Kingdom, because nominally Liu Jing is already married, and the royal family will no longer take care of a princess who has been married, this is an ironclad fact, especially this princess who is married is equal to not being married can no longer earn even a little benefit for the royal family, who will pay attention to it again?
Since she knows that it will be useless to go back, and the royal family and courtiers will no longer treat her kindly, Liu Jing should firmly grasp Lin Bin to seek a future for herself, right?
The above are the inner thoughts of several insiders at that time, and almost all of them felt that Lin Bin and Liu Jing should have a good future, and the two formed a relationship to garrison the border for the Han State to resist the invasion of foreign races, but what was the result? No matter what Liu Jing's considerations were, she gave up her future, pushed the backing she relied on to survive to the opposite side of herself, lost her future support, and finally fell to the point where no one cared about her. Although everyone didn't say it, they still felt a little strange in their hearts, feeling pity and at the same time feeling that it was self-inflicted, which was very ambivalent.
As I said before, everything that happened has already happened, and it is impossible to think about it without feelings.
Lin Bin finally woke up from his trance, and he asked very depressedly: "You (Yan Ge) haven't seen her, have you?" ”
