Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great War Is Coming
"King, are you sure you are going to attack the Han people at this time? Our battle plan is for December, huh? ”
A man dressed in a fine leather suit asked.
A majestic man in his thirties sitting on the throne waved his hand and said, "Although the plan we made is to attack the Han people in December, the plan can't catch up with the changes!" This little emperor of the Han people is quite a martial emperor! A certain person can't be like the Xiongnu's Yi Zhixian, who despised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time, and led to defeat and death. ”
As soon as he heard this, the person who spoke before was silent, that's right, if Yi Zhi did not underestimate the enemy, and constantly attacked the border of the Han Dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty could not recuperate, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the foundation left by the second brother of Wenjing, it was impossible to defeat the Xiongnu easily.
After a while, the man spoke, "In this case, the soldiers are very fast, it is better for us to attack quickly, and with the speed of my humble cavalry, we can quickly break through the Han defense line, so as to threaten the Han capital, so that they do not dare to develop with peace of mind, and will definitely go all out to guard the northern border." ”
When the man on the main seat heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Xian Yuchun, you are worthy of being my chief strategist of Tanshi Huai!" ”
It turned out that these two people were the kings and strategists of most of Xianbei at this time.
Liu Hong didn't know about the discussion between the two, because Liu Hong had just issued the holy decree to canonize Song Ling'er.
November 20 of the first year of Jianning, early in the morning.
A soldier covered in blood rushed to the west gate of Luoyang on horseback, and fell off his horse as soon as he reached the city gate.
The general defending the city hurriedly rushed to him, and heard the soldier say with difficulty, "Urgent report from Beidi County!" ”
After speaking, he tilted his head and fainted, which shows that he came from the night.
The guards hurriedly rushed towards the palace on horseback, and the frontier reported urgently, who dared to stop this matter?
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Hong received this urgent report.
When I opened it, I was shocked and hurriedly recruited the cabinet and the staff Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and several of the original councilors, the staff officers at this time.
As soon as everyone entered the Deyang side hall, they listened to Liu Hongdao before they saluted, "No need to be polite, I just received an urgent report from Beidi County, saying that Xianbei General Yan Liyou led 30,000 troops to attack Beidi County. ”
Liu Ju, the old lieutenant of the cabinet cabinet, asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, didn't General Zhang Huan report three days ago, saying that he was attacked by most of Xianbei's nearly 100,000 troops?" How could it be that the Northland County was attacked in just three days, and it was still an army of 30,000? As far as the minister knows, most of Xianbei don't have so many troops? ”
Jia Xu bowed slightly to Liu Ju, and said with a smile, "Lord Taiwei may have forgotten that Tanshi Huai has collected the matter of the Huns, although the Huns at this time are not as good as the Han Dynasty, but it is still okay to wave the flag and shout, and I thought that General Zhang Huan would treat the soldiers of the Huns as the Xianbei army." ”
Cheng Yu glanced at Jia Xu in surprise when he heard this, he has been serving in the staff for a few days, but Jia Xu usually gives people a very mediocre feeling, which makes Cheng Yu very puzzled why Liu Hong let such a person be in charge of the staff, you must know that at this time, the staff is only an official of Jia Xu, and the rest are not.
After Liu Hong heard Jia Xu's analysis, he asked, "Wenhe, I don't know what Xianbei Tanshi Huai means?" I don't think it's just to grab some more supplies. ”
Jia Xu saluted Liu Hong respectfully and said, "Emperor Shengming, Xianbei Tanshi Huai is here for Your Majesty this time." ”
"Against me?"
Liu Hong was puzzled, and everyone in the cabinet was also puzzled, if the cabinet was to handle political affairs, these five people, including Cao Teng, would not be worse than those famous strategists in the future, but if you want to talk about military affairs! They are not as good as Liu Hong!
Jia Xu didn't speak, but glanced at Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu saw this and knew that this was Jia Xu selling it to himself, so he smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, now the main forces of our Han army are all in Youhe Erzhou, and although General Duan Ying's army is in Liangzhou, it is far away from Beidi County." ”
"Therefore, at this time, Beidi County, Anding County only had some soldiers defending the city, and once Anding County passed it, it entered the Sili area, and Zuo Fengyi and Hedong County also did not have a large army, and then the Xianbei army could be sent to Luoyang City. Although the defenders of the Beijing division can protect Luoyang, it is not good after all. ”
When Liu Hong heard the sentence that it was not good after all, he naturally knew what Cheng Yu meant, in terms of military strategy in this matter, Liu Hong didn't care, but he couldn't be sloppy on political issues.
If the Xianbei army is allowed to appear under Luoyang City, then what prestige does Liu Hong have at all?
So Liu Hong asked with a solemn face, "Wenhe, Zhongde, do you two have a good plan?" ”
Although Liu Hong only asked these two people, the others were not the slightest dissatisfied, and they didn't even see the strategy of the Xianbei people, so what qualifications did they have to care about?
Cheng Yu shook his head, he couldn't think of any good countermeasures at this time, after all, with the speed of the Xianbei people, it only took five days to reach Luoyang, even if the defenders from all over the country resisted, they could only resist three days.
Jia Xu also can't think of a good plan, there are no soldiers and no generals, how can this strategist come up with a plan?
Seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't help frowning, constantly thinking about whether there was anything similar in the battles of the future generations, so as to find a solution from it.
Suddenly, Liu Hong's eyes lit up, and he said in a loud voice: "Pass on the cavalry captain Xu Rong." ”
"No"
When Xu Rong rushed to Luoyang from Youzhou, due to too many things at that time, Liu Hong only gave him the official position of a cavalry lieutenant and a volume of physical training methods for later generations, and asked him to participate in the conscription, so he did not recruit him again.
However, Xu Rong was very moved, why? Originally, he was just a small official, but as soon as Liu Hong met, he gave a high-ranking official with a rank of 2,000 stones, how could Xu Rong not be moved?
So Xu Rong trained those recruits, and he was very attentive, combined with the new military training techniques given by Liu Hong, and he had a little appearance in a short period of time.
Half an hour later, Xu Rong came to the Deyang side hall, and during this half hour, everyone was constantly studying the map, trying to find a way.
As soon as Liu Hong saw Xu Rong, he said directly, "Ziyao (I didn't find Xu Rong's words, I started it myself.) How are the recruits training now? ”
Xu Rong said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, I have completed the queue training, and the simple rush formation." ”
Liu Hong nodded when he heard this, "Enough, I want Aiqing to command 50,000 recruits to annihilate the army that Xianbei invaded the Han Realm, can Aiqing be sure?" ”
Xu Rong raised his head in shock and said, "Your Majesty, it's not time for those recruits to go to the battlefield at this time!" ”
The rest of the people were also taken aback by Liu Hong's method, and used only a few recruits to fight the elite Xianbei cavalry, isn't it a joke!
Liu Hong said with a serious face, "I know, but at this time, when the country is in danger, how can the soldiers retreat. Spread my will, kill Xianbei and reward a thousand dollars. Kill the Xianbei generals, and seal the marquis. In addition, Xianbei plundered the money of the people of our Han realm, except for 30% of the money handed over to the national treasury, the rest were soldiers of this campaign. ”;
