In other words, the terrain where Dingxiang City is located is quite favorable. It is bordered by a mountain to the west, and a river crosses the north and south, forming a triangle with the mountain, which firmly protects the castle. It's really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

About 50 kilometers south of Dingxiang City, there is a county town of Shanan (now Huairen), which has been occupied by the Huns, and there are about 20,000 troops stationed there. Less than 40 kilometers to the southeast, there was another county seat of Xiyang County (east of present-day Yingxian County) and Laoxian County (west of present-day Hunyuan) in the northeast of Juyang, which were also occupied by the Xiongnu, and both had soldiers and horses stationed.

Ding Yuan looked at the situation marked on the map, pointed to the foot of the mountain forty kilometers northeast of Mayi, and said: "Build a camp here, mobilize all the main forces here, and then divide the troops into two routes, all the way to attack Juyang and Laocheng, and all the way to Shanan and Dingxiang." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded by Ding Yuan's arrangement of the military posture like this, but when they saw Zhang Yang, they couldn't help asking: "Assassin Shi, is it too risky to arrange the military posture like this?" ”

Ding Yuan said: "Where to take risks, so that the main force of the Xiongnu can be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, there was a huge disparity in strength with the other party, and they had to divide the troops into two ways, even if they were Han Xin, they might not dare to do this. This Assassin is really good enough.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask again: "Then how should the two people be distributed this time?" ”

Ding Yuan said: "I have already thought about this point, and I will lead 6,000 infantry and cavalry, and be responsible for attacking the two cities of Shanan and Dingxiang in the north; Feng Xian led 4,000 cavalry to attack the two cities of Juyang and Laocheng in the east; Zhang Yang led the remaining sergeants to stay in the camp and was responsible for transporting grain and grass. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but show a slight look of helplessness, but said: "Ding Thorn History, the matter of dividing the army, the subordinates think it's better to think about it in the long run, right?" ”

Ding Yuan said: "What is there to think about in the long run, if you can't annihilate the main force of the Huns in one fell swoop, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it will inevitably invade the border land of our Han Dynasty again in the future." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Ding Tingshi is a little restless, his subordinates mean that our army can first defeat the Xiongnu who are guarding the two cities of Juyang and Laoxian, and then go north to capture Shanan and Dingxiang, and slowly figure it out, so that it is the best policy." ”

Ding Yuan said impatiently: "Oh, then you have to wait until what year and month can you exterminate the Huns." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but stop speech. At this time, Zhang Yang couldn't help but say again: "Ding Tingshi, why don't we report to the court first and let His Majesty decide this matter, right?" ”

Ding Yuan waved his hand and said: "No need, as the so-called generals will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, just do what this assassin history says, this time the main force of the Huns will be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”

At this time, I was still eating in the post house in the city of Ningwu Guan, and Feng Xian sent Li Su to come to me quickly. As soon as I entered the door, Li Su looked around, and at this time I was eating on the side of the door. He recognized the clothes I was wearing, so he hurriedly came over and said, "Brother Cheng Lian, you are here, the master asked me to come to you, something happened." ”

I said, "Don't worry, come, sit down and have something to eat, and speak slowly." ”

He said again: "This matter is not in a hurry, Ding Tingshi ordered the troops to divide into two routes, he personally led a group of men and horses to the north to attack Shanan City, and the master bookkeeper led a road to the east to attack Juyang City, the situation is very urgent, the master book specially sent me to ask you what is your good plan?" ”

I couldn't help but shake my head amusedly, and said, "This Assassin is really enough to use soldiers like a "god", and I have never seen him such a "god" commander since I joined the army. ”

Li Su hurriedly said again: "Brother Cheng Lian, what should you do about this matter, Ding Tingshi insisted on dividing the troops into two ways, and he didn't listen to any persuasion from others." ”

I immediately rolled my eyes and said, "What a waste of saliva with that old stubborn, if he wants to share, let him share, anyway, the brothers' lives are in vain, and he will pay for it." ”

Li Su couldn't help but say: "Oh, my mother, don't be joking, how can he afford it!" ”

I said, "All right, you go back and tell your brother that you can't listen to the old fellow in any case, and let the elder brother lead his army to quietly follow the old fellow, and when the old fellow goes to war with the Huns, he will be by the side and pay attention to meet him at any time; The Huns have always been fierce and good at fighting, and the weapons and equipment are not bad, let alone a one-to-ten force, even a one-to-one force may not necessarily win. ”

Li Su was puzzled: "The last time I fought with the Tu tribes, I didn't see how powerful they were, and the Tu Ge King fled directly with his clansmen, why did you say that now?" ”

I said: "How can things be so simple, the reason why the combat strength of the previous slaughter of everyone was not very good, mainly because of the friendship between me and Huo Cun; This time they are fighting for survival and freedom, and it will certainly not be the same as last time. ”

Li Su couldn't help but nod and said, "I see, then I have to go back and tell the master book quickly." ”

With that, Li Su left in a hurry. I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, this time I don't know how many hot-blooded children will be buried on the battlefield.

After eating, I didn't go back to my room, but walked around the streets of the city. This city is only a small city, which is specially used to garrison the border officers and soldiers, so there are not many residents in the city, and it is not as large as the large city in the interior, which has more than 100,000 people. As I walked around, I observed the people around me. The people here are all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and there is not a single one who looks like a big family, and the people who want to come here are all living in a difficult situation, and there are not even many people who do business.

As I walked, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, my magnetic field told me that a woman more than ten meters away was dangerous. Of course, this danger did not mean that she had the intention of attacking me, but that there was an intent in her eyes that casually glanced at me.

I knew that I was probably the only one in the city who was the brightest dressed, and it was clear that I was a rich man. In today's world, it can be said that there are some local "well-known people" on every piece of territory, and these people are usually not easily provoked by others. Obviously, I had the good fortune to bump into such a character this time.

As I continued walking, the woman suddenly approached me, intentionally or unintentionally. I twitched the corners of my mouth, knowing exactly what she was going to do next. Just as she walked past me and deliberately bumped into me, I grabbed her little hand that was about to be copied into my arms. I couldn't help but smile and said: "Heh, what a white and tender little hand, the so-called tender white as jade, it is probably such a hand, but it is a pity that such a beautiful hand." ”

She glared at me, but said, "What is a pity? ”

I said, "It's a pity you're going to go to jail." ”

She smiled slyly, but said, "Not necessarily. Immediately, she suddenly pushed me away, and then shouted, "Ah, scoundrel, there is a scoundrel who is molesting a girl from a good family!" ”

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows immediately, heh, I dared to meet a female hooligan.

At this moment, suddenly more than a dozen people came over from not far away, only to see that they were all sturdy, with swords pinned to their waists, and shouted: "Oh, where did the prodigal son of Dengzi dare to do such a shameless thing in broad daylight, and he will be shameless!" So saying, they came to me, and surrounded me and the girl. Immediately, a man with a fierce face asked the girl, "Is he the scoundrel who molested you?" ”

I saw the girl pretending to cry and nodding: "Well, it's him, it's him." ”

The man looked me up and down, and said, "Oh, he looks quite white, but he doesn't do any business; Listen up, boy, either a few brothers will give you some hardship, or you will lose money to this girl, just these two paths, you can choose for yourself. ”

At this time, the surrounding pedestrians avoided from afar, thinking that it was probably because these people were habitual offenders. It's really strange, why doesn't the government care about it, does it mean that they also collude with the government? Maybe so, otherwise how could they blatantly cheat here? Well, it's your bad luck to be planted in my hands today, and look at how I play you unscrupulous.
