On July 25, 1003, the Han army camp in front of Chidori Valley in Tyumen began to rise. The soldiers had just been replenished, and the fully staffed "Red Fox Division" began its first battle after Shen Yun took charge of the department.

Before pulling out the camp, Shen Yun said something like this in the camp tent.

"If we fight the enemy in a decisive battle at Blitzk and lose 1,000 of them, our troops will also lose 800 of our own losses. In the past, in Zimu, it was a last resort, but now, I will not do such a stupid thing again. Shen Yun said in a firm tone, "Cavalry is not the main force used for a frontal decisive battle, but should be the foundation of leading a war!" Under my leadership, the fox characteristics of the 'Red Fox Division' must not only be carried forward, but also be feared by enemies like a poisonous snake! ”

"I have decided to attack from a long distance and attack Ku Yuan Mobu!"

This was Shen Yun's final decision.

This sentence stunned everyone present. Ma Gu opened his mouth, wanting to refute a few words, but held back. Fang Cheng supported Shen Yun, and it was not good to oppose it on the spot.

It was Bai Xiaosheng, tugging at his chin's beard, and said hesitantly: "Ministry Shuai, this is Tyumen Prefecture, not Beihai Prefecture, and our Han's straight road has not yet been repaired here." There are at least 800 miles from the Valley of the Thousand Birds to Ku Yuan Mobu, and these 800 miles are only two days away in the territory of my Dahan, but here...... Please think twice! ”

Shen Yun said: "I've thought twice. Lao Bai, you prepare a military report and send it to the marshal's camp, and the others prepare! In addition, Wang Lun, you take my military order, let the captain of Gongye immediately return to the army to hold the Thousand Bird Valley, if the Huns bypass the Thousand Bird Valley and prepare to enter Jiankun from other places, he must unite with other Han troops to defend it. In five days at most, I will take the head of Kutimo. ”

"But what's the point?" Ma Gu finally spoke, loudly. "What's the use of taking down Ku Yuanmo? If these 10,000 Huns insist on entering Jiankun, can we make them withdraw their troops after defeating Kumimo? ”

This rebuttal made Wang Lun couldn't help it, and helped Shen Yun to push back: "After defeating Ku Yuan Mobu, the Huns can only fight in the field for seven days at most, how can they not withdraw?" What's more, two hundred miles north of Ku Yuan Mobu is the royal tent of King Zuoxian of the Huns, do they dare not go back? ”

Ma Gu was speechless.

After Wang Lun finished speaking, he saluted Shen Yun and said: "Ministry Marshal, your subordinates know that you want to outflank you in a roundabout way, but your subordinates also ask the Ministry Marshal to think twice, Hu Yuan Mo is the tent of the high priest under the command of King Zuoxian." There are at least 7,000 herdsmen, the horn is flying, and at least 20,000 troops can be gathered, although they are the most unbearable Keba army of the Huns, but the ants bite the elephant to death. The commander only brought 4,000 men, how to fight with 20,000 people? Please think twice about it! ”

Shen Yun held the officer information and troop establishment of the "Red Fox Department" in his hand. Said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks!" ”

……

About Eight Flags. Shen Yun thought of a lot. Of course, the most is about the Qing Empire that caused the Chinese nation to suffer.

It must be admitted that in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were still very strong in the army, at least in East Asia at the same time, and they were invincible in terms of military morale and morale, as well as their combat effectiveness. But that was short-lived. Because of the weakness of the Han nation, the strength of the Manchu Eight Banners was highlighted. However, this strength did not last long, and after more than ten years of entering the customs, the Manchu Eight Banners were no longer able to fight. The subsequent battles such as the pacification of the three feudatories, the acquisition of Taiwan, or the pacification of Xinjiang were actually fought by the Han Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion soldiers.

Let's put it this way, the most powerful period of the Manchu Eight Banners was only fifty years, two or three generations. And the Eight Banners of the Huns that Shen Yun is facing now, this is a powerful army that has been maintained for two hundred years!

What the? The Eight Banners of the Huns were not strong? If they are not strong, can the Huns survive the joint blockade of the Han Empire and the Roman Empire? The military that can be inherited for two hundred years without collapsing proves the strength of the Xiongnu Eight Banners system from its own point of view!

Of course, there is still an essential difference between the Eight Banners system of the Xiongnu and the Eight Banners system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For example, the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Mailer-Ezhen-Niulu-Jiala-Gushan, a five-level system. The establishment of the Eight Banners of the Xiongnu is similar to the Wu - Shi - Team - Hundred Team - Thousand Team - Flag Regiment of the Han Empire, with six levels of distribution. In terms of establishment, the Eight Banners of the Xiongnu are more detailed and more conducive to the command of the army.

In terms of the most fundamental difference, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were a four-dimensional system of politics, life and economy with the military as the core, while the Eight Banners of the Xiongnu were purely military systems. The usual political, economic and living systems of the Xiongnu were still carried out by the hierarchy of the royal court, the left and right virtuous kings, the priests, the chiefs, the assistants, and the subordinates.

No matter what kind of system it is, it is the most suitable for them, so that it will continue for so long without being subverted. The system that exceeds the production capacity of this era will eventually be eliminated after withstanding the washing of time, unless there are one or two commanders who can defy the heavens - such as Han Shengzu!

……

Shen Yun has no intention of changing any system, he has realized that all the systems of the Han Dynasty are ahead of this era and perfectly fit with this era, which does not need him to change. All he has to do and can do is to influence the current Han Empire through himself, so that the traditions handed down by His Majesty the Holy Ancestor will not deviate from the originally predetermined trajectory. For example, the most important concept of cavalry at the moment!

For cavalry, Shen Yun already has a full understanding of cavalry after such a long period of contact, combined with the memory and understanding of his previous life, it can be said that in the use of cavalry, he has surpassed his contemporaries by too much.

As the most powerful mobile force in the era of cold weapons, it is undoubtedly insufficient to insist on fighting with cavalry. The cavalry lies in agility, and as long as this agility is brought into play, any so-called cluster will disappear in front of it. Cavalry, that is, the mechanized troops of World War II, is the royal road of cavalry use by rapid intersperse, rapid detours, and continuous sneak attacks!

Of course, if there is no frontal strength, the cavalry that is constantly interspersed and rushing will easily become a lone army and be dumpled. What Shen Yun has to do now is to first exert the power of this "Red Fox Division", which already has flexible characteristics, to the extreme, so that everyone can see how terrifying the cavalry will be once it moves.

The West Siberian Plain is undoubtedly the perfect place for Shen Yun to display this power. This is a plain, with few high mountains and deep valleys, and the great rivers are extinct, and the only thing that can prevent the cavalry from crossing and crossing is the dense coniferous forest, but these woods can just limit the pursuit of the Han cavalry by the Huns, who are mainly cavalry, from another point of view.

Of course. From an overall point of view, it was a bit reckless for Shen Yun to penetrate into the Huns' sphere of influence at this time. After all, now the entire Northern Frontier Front is encircling and annihilating the exhausted Yueshi army, and at this time, breaking into the depths of the West Siberian Plain can easily make the Han army more than it loses. The best decision should be, as Ma Gu said, to defend the Valley of the Thousand Birds, and scare away the invading Huns according to the Han tradition. After all, at this time, the news of the Huns was a step behind, and they didn't know that the Yueshi people were gone, and once they learned the news, they would retreat quickly.

But Shen Yun also has his own opinions. Now that the entire Northern Frontier Front has turned from disadvantage to advantage, entangled in Kobdo will not have much impact on the overall situation of the war. In that area with a radius of several hundred kilometers, no matter how good Shen Yun's "Red Fox Department" is, it is impossible to achieve the purpose of sensation. And Shen Yun is going to create another miracle at this moment, so that the top brass of the Han army will realize the terrifying power of cavalry. So it is the best choice to take the vulnerable Huns!

……

It should be said that the Huns occupied the Western Siberian Plain for so long that they almost forgot that this land did not actually belong to them in essence. The Han army was not powerless to conquer the place. Rather, they are reluctant to conquer the land. Demographic pressures are emerging. But it is not yet urgent enough to expand territory again in order to survive.

Ku Yuan Mobu is a tribe named after the high priest of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, which is equivalent to a city. It is located in the middle reaches of the Yenisei River. Along the lush pastures and gentle Yenisei River, Kutimobe has been breeding here for hundreds of years, peaceful and peaceful.

The nearest garrison to the Han army here is also a thousand li, and no straight roads have been built, in the past five hundred years. The Han army came, but soon retreated. So it's very safe here.

Priest Kumimo was a big fat man, and in the grassland, it was rare to see a person as fat as him. After all, shepherds are on the move and exposed to the sun all day long. The physique is generally stout, but Ku Yuanmo is really fat like a meat ball, and his body can't even ride a horse. But who made him a priest, and he was the high priest of King Zuoxian, so even if he was a fat man who couldn't ride a horse, he still lived a luxurious and leisurely life.

His tent was on a sorghum on the banks of the Yenisei River, and its huge tent was decorated with colorful ribbons, and countless gold ornaments hung from the tent, and in the tent was covered with a woolen blanket from Damascus, soft as a maiden's skin.

Ku Yuanmo stepped on the carpet with a pair of fat feet, his upper body was covered with colorful animal skins, and he had a rare red goose feather crown on his head, and the whole person was lying on the soft bodies of a group of scantily clad maids. The maids were almost untouched, only a few pieces of linen wrapped around their lower bodies, but the upper bodies were half-exposed, and their pink and tender breasts were exposed, still licking and groping by the big fat man on their bodies......

At this time, someone hurriedly ran in, half-knelt in front of Ku Yuanmo, and said, "High priest, I'm back!" ”

Ku Yuan Mo opened his heavy eyelids, because he was too fat, his eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, and after a glance, he focused on the maid beside him, and shouted the bud on the maid's chest, and said vaguely: "Chagama, my leader, it's good that you're back, is everything going well for transporting grain and grass?" ”

The leader of the Zo Collar named Chagama was a stout Hun with unusually broad shoulders, a thick and short neck, a knotted beard that reached his chest, and a knot was tucked into the collar of the left side, which looked full of fierce atmosphere. He hurriedly said: "High priest, the transportation of grain and grass is going well, but on the way back, I met Yemataji of the Morxi cadre, and he told me a very bad news, saying that the Yueshi people have been defeated by the Han army!" ”

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, but the heavy eyelids made him unable to open them completely, so he could only breathe a few times rapidly, trying to struggle to get up, and said urgently: "Immortal Heaven is above, is the news you brought back Chahema accurate?" ”

Chahema fell to his knees on one knee, raised his right hand and said loudly, "My high priest, Chahema dares to swear in the name of the Immortal Heaven, and this is indeed what Yamataji told me. ”

Hu Yuanmo struggled a few times and couldn't get up, and suddenly stretched out his fat arm and slapped the maid next to him, and shouted angrily: "Are your eyes blind, don't you hurry up and help me up!" Damn lowly slaves, one day I'll let the wolves tear you apart alive! ”

The maid who was beaten and scolded for no reason hurriedly helped Hu Yuanmo up, and there was a red palm print on her face. But he didn't dare to refute, so he could only bow his head aggrievedly, and his eyes turned red instantly.

Hu Yuanmo sat up, suddenly kicked the maid over with a heavy kick, and then stepped on the fat soles of her feet on the maid's face, and scolded angrily: "Despicable slave girl, lick my feet comfortably......"

The slave girl was obviously very scared, and she didn't dare to rub the painful position where she was kicked, so she directly stretched out her delicate tongue and kept licking the fishy and fat soles of Ku Yuanmo's feet.

The slight itchy feeling made Hu Yuan Mo moan comfortably, as if this would calm him down. Half a day. Ku Yuan Mo Cai said: "The Morxi cadres are the eagles sent by the immortal heaven, and the eyes of our Huns, everything they see should be true...... So, my Chagama, you are going to deliver grain and grass this time. Have you noticed a trend of Han people going north? ”

Chahema didn't blink at what happened to the slave girl, hesitated for a moment and said, "My high priest." I only went to the rear of General Jihanu. I didn't see the Han army. However, according to Wang Qijun's people, they encountered the Han army in front of them and lost two or three hundred people, and the Han army itself suffered less than fifty casualties. ”

Hu Yuan Mo became even more nervous when he heard this. Jihanu is the master of the Xiongnu Red Flag Banner, and it is the elite combat power second only to the Yellow Flag and the Red Flag in the Eight Banners.

Ku Yuanmo licked his fat lips with his tongue, rolled his little eyes and said, "Chahema." You are as sharp as a hound on the steppe, and you tell me, should I tell Sahukel and Lord Zuoxian about this? ”

Chahema thought for a moment and said, "My high priest, King Zuoxian has sent you here. It is in order to be able to learn the news of the Han people as soon as possible, and the eagle of the steppe Morshigan is not as valued by King Zuo Xian as you are, and according to my opinion, I think I should send someone to inform him. ”

Hu Yuanmo lowered his head, thinking about something violently repeatedly, and muttered in his mouth: "But, but last time, the proposal of the Yue's alliance was reported by me to King Zuoxian, if the Yue's people are defeated, will King Zuo Xian blame me?" For the sake of this merit, King Zuoxian postponed the time to report to King Amora, so that General Jihanu's troops did not catch up with the First Great War, and at this time, ......"

Ku Yuan Mo muttered while thinking about it, and at the same time exerted force on his feet, as if this would make his fat brain turn faster. The slave girl under his feet finally couldn't help it, twisted her neck vigorously, and suddenly raised her foot angrily, and screamed: "Despicable slave girl, you dare to scratch my foot with your teeth, I will trample you to death......" The fat soles of her feet kept rising, and kicked on the face of the slave girl while stepping on it, and after only a few strokes, the slave girl didn't even make a sound, and she completely fainted.

"Come on, drag this despicable slave girl who dares to hurt me down, and let the wild dog tear her alive!" Ku Yuan Mo screamed in rage.

Immediately someone came in and dragged the half-naked slave girl down like a dead dog, and the maids next to her were even more frightened and hugged each other tightly.

But at this time, Ku Yuan Mo was no longer in the mood to let the slave girl lick her feet, and stood up tremblingly, the fat rolled on his body, and finally hung down, and he panted and walked up to Chagama, and said, "My Chagama, I can't make any more mistakes." This time you must personally report this matter to King Zuoxian. Also, send someone to tell Sahukel to move the camp and join us. Remember, Chahema must have brought the news before the people of the priests of Buyan. I can't make any more mistakes, or the priests of Buyan will speak ill of me in front of King Amora, damn it, they are as hateful as moles in the steppe, more insidious than poisonous snakes, and they will always speak ill of me in front of King Amora......"

Chahema stroked his chest and said, "I understand, High Priest. But who will escort the grain and grass when I leave? ”

Ku Yuan Mo shook his head: "There is no need to escort the grain and grass, the Yue clan has lost, and General Jihanu should return to the army soon." By the way, you send someone to tell General Jihanu not to provoke the Han people when withdrawing the army, especially the Han wranglers in Hesse-Britzk, and not to loot them as before, which will attract the revenge of the Han army! ”

Chahema nodded, and immediately removed the tent.

Outside the big tent, the green grass is like a blanket, stretching into the distant sky, and the tents are like clouds in the sky spread out on this rich grassland. What a great ranch!

Chahema went down from the sorghum, came to the camp and fetched three horses, and then conveyed the high priest's order, and then called his son, and ordered him and several of his assistants: "The high priest has been in a bad mood lately, find him some docile slave girls." It would be better to snatch the Han female slaves from the savage tribes, and if not, go to the Sahukr Ministry, where they also have a few female slaves from the caliph of Cai Xiangguo, and buy them to sacrifice to the high priest. ”

Several of the leaders nodded in agreement. Then Chahema said to his son Shuko, "Take my guards and protect the high priest!" It may take me four or five days to go this time, and I must send more people to the south to investigate in the next few days. ”

Shuke grinned with yellow teeth and said, "Abba, don't worry, I will protect the high priest." ”

Chahema nodded: "Okay, ask your Eji (mother) to prepare something to eat for me, and I'll take it with me on the road." ”

……

On the night of Chagama's departure, Shuke led people to protect the high priest's tent. However, it was on this night that disaster befell Kutimobe. (To be continued......)
