Chapter 262: Returning to the West

When the flames rolled and burned, the Huns suffered the greatest blow in history, and it would probably be the nightmare of their lives that they would never get rid of, and the fear, despair, and deep powerlessness of watching their fellow citizens burned to ashes were etched in their hearts.

With the flames took away the morale of the Monan Xiongnu tribe east of Yinshan who belonged to the Xiongnu left land, the mood of the tens of thousands of Huns present fell to the valley, the ferocity and cruelty of the Han army shocked everyone's heart, and there were very few who could raise the courage to resolutely resist, and the Huns pursued the law of competition on the grassland in their bones.

The barbaric elimination system still maintains the original style, the annexation war between tribes is as ordinary as eating and drinking, the grassland herdsmen pay the most attention to the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest, when their own tribe can not beat the stronger tribes, then the weak should be subordinated to the strong to obtain security, the Huns also used this method to easily subdue the Monan tribes, the formation of a huge Xiongnu Empire.

Further ahead the grassland departments are called Donghu, just because Donghu is the overlord of the grassland, and continue to move forward is the ghost side, Rong Di and the lynx, each name carries the overlord civilization of hundreds of years or even longer, just like the group of heroes competing for hegemony to change the dynasty, the difference between herdsmen and farmers is only in the way of labor, grazing decisions must be lived by water and grass, and farming only needs to guard the land to grow food.

Li Guang asked, "That's it?" ”

"What else do you want to do?" Cao Shi glared.

"I always feel a little bit of a loss."

Li Guang was very sorry, seeing that it was just around the corner to continue to push north and touch the Zuoxian Wangting, suddenly it was reported that most of the counties in Longxi had been raided, and the Han army that was caught off guard was caught off guard by the rushing Youxian Wang's army. If Su Xi hadn't taken the opportunity to organize the people to retreat to Didao, I was afraid that the losses of Longxi County would be even greater.

Su Xi himself was also hit hard in the process of personally breaking the queen. The population of Longxi County was only about 250,000 people, and a total of more than 12,700 soldiers in the county suddenly died. The losses are not insignificant.

Li Guang complained and couldn't say a word, Su Xi's sequence in the Han army was much higher than him, more than ten years ago because of his military exploits to seal the Marquis of Jiangyang, Li Guang himself was busy for half his life and didn't even try what the Liehou tasted like.

The Han army returned to the south en masse, entered the Shanwu City and repaired in situ for seven or eight days, and the envoy of the imperial court sent an order from 800 li urgently, requiring the Han army to immediately turn around and advance west to the west of Yinshan, and launch an attack on the right land of the Xiongnu under the control of King Youxian.

"Your Majesty hopes that General Che Cai will lead his 23,000 soldiers to cross Yangshan in the starry night and attack the headquarters of the King of Aries and the King of Loufu. Contribute to the Right Hyun's offensive blockade. ”

"Obey."

Cao Shi didn't bother to argue with the envoy, most of the emperor's edicts were unreliable, his predecessor received professional education since he was a child, and he was influenced by military books and war strategies all day long, Liu Che himself was a pure prince, mainly learning political balance and various skills of the imperial people, and it was unrealistic to expect the emperor to remotely command the grand strategy for thousands of miles, especially the military strategy level of the Son of Heaven himself.

received the edict of the imperial court, Yanmen Taishou Bush, acting Minister Ning Cheng, and Yunzhong County Cheng did not know to see him off.

During the send-off banquet, Cao Shi said: "According to the latest information. The Huns were temporarily frightened, but this good day will not last long, as long as ten years or eight years, or as short as a year and a half, they will make contingencies, so please be prepared to be highly vigilant. ”

"So how do we deal with it?"

"Hit out!"

The three of them were slightly stunned: "What does the general of the chariot mean ......"

"Attacking for attacking works best. The Huns are the most annoying to let the Huns give up the advantage of cavalry coming and going like the wind to fight ground battles, which is equivalent to dragging the Huns into their familiar rhythm and fighting slowly. Although it is not possible to achieve better results, it is rare to have an excellent opportunity to train troops at any time. ”

"The general of the chariot cavalry asked us to attract the Huns to fight. But the quality of the soldiers is worrying. ”

"If you don't fight, you will always worry, and you don't have to worry after you finish fighting. After playing, you will know the targeted judgment, and it is meaningless to say too much now. ”

The three ministers of the county and the state nodded one after another.

Li Guang wanted to follow the Han army to the west, and the order given to him by the imperial court was also sent to the grassland at the same time, and he was appointed as the new Taishou of Longxi, and returning to his hometown after decades of absence was quite a bit of a return to his hometown.

Cao Shi did not attack Henan according to the requirements of the edict, he felt that it was very risky and not cost-effective to raid the Youxian Wang's department, it was very difficult to control a sparsely populated grassland at first, and the Youxian Wang's department was the east of the Aries King and the Lou Fu King next to the location of Jiuyuan County in the Hetao Plain, which was the location of the Great Wall built by Meng Tian, and that section of the Great Wall was destroyed and collapsed.

That place is very dangerous, unlike the excellent area stationed at the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain to retreat southward at will, most of the Xiongnu people in the western foothills of Yinshan Mountain are still in a fixed grassland and intact, this part of the Xiongnu strength is not inferior at all, and there are mountains to block logistics and reinforcements It is also a problem, resulting in the Han army not daring to attack the Xiongnu tribes easily.

Let him go to the south with the troops to fight Henan is the problem, the enclave of the Hetao Plain can not hold on for the time being, even if it takes great effort to fight down, it can't be held, the Yellow River can not send ships to transport grain and grass supplies upstream, because the upper reaches of the Yellow River is the famous Hukou Waterfall, although the northern Loess Plateau area is a lush forest mountain, but the terrain of the Hetao Plain is very difficult to travel, and it is necessary to bypass the Yin Mountain near Yunzhong County to the Hetao Plain.

There is almost no way to choose this road, unless Cao Shi plans to lose troops in Henan and return with a big defeat, maybe the emperor intends to deal with it like this, the war exploits of sweeping the Huns must be rewarded, and then the reward will also benefit from the sealing of thousands of households, the Son of Heaven himself is very likely to be unhappy, if the Han army hits a nail in Henan and returns, the victory in Monan can be easily erased.

Cao Shi was a very rational person, but he could not openly disobey the emperor's will, so he had to launch an attack on the western tribes near Yinshan and the Yellow River, forcing the main forces of the Aries King and the Loufu King to be contained, and basically achieved his ultimate strategic goal, and it would take at least a month and a half for the transmission of information back and forth, which was completely enough time for the northern and southern armies to rest and return in Chang'an City, preparing to continue to assist the trapped Su Xi and repel the Huns to the west.

At the same time, the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City was beaming.

The emperor is full of energy every day, and the whole Chang'an City knows that the emperor is going to have a queen, the belly of the beauty Wei Zifu is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole Chang'an and even the whole world are staring at the child in her belly, whether it is male or female, it will have great political significance, which means that the emperor's fertility is completely normal, and the rumors of the emperor's infertility made by public opinion in the past few years will be self-defeating.

Liu Che's pressure is not small, the emperor who is almost twenty years old has no children under his knees, his half-brother Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, is eighteen years old, and there are a large number of sons and daughters, and now the king of Zhongshan is not yet thirty years old, and the sons and daughters have successfully exceeded fifty people, which is simply a humanoid fertility machine.

He is a dignified emperor who doesn't even have a son and daughter, no matter what the reason is, it's a bit unreasonable, after all, the emperor is the king of a country, almost twenty years old, and there is no son, and it is rumored that the emperor can't have children is also very marketable, and many people secretly sympathize with the queen Chen Ajiao, the reason is that Chen Ajiao is too old to be favored, and the emperor deposed Chen Ajiao and did not hesitate to refuse to have sex with her.

There are still a lot of folk rumors, even if the Tingwei Mansion can't catch it all, after all, everyone will make up a lot of so-called palace secrets, some of the secrets say that they have noses and eyes and look really like that, of course, this matter is definitely not included, the emperor can have children, and Chen Ajiao was not deposed.

At least not for now, the emperor didn't think about it.

Chang'an Chengtai College, hundreds of people gathered on the sports field to hold the rattan ball to play ball games, this sport itself is called rattan ball, there is no technical content at all of the popular entertainment sports, the advantage is that the threshold is lower than the juju, no footwork and complex skills, only need you to hold the rattan ball to run across the opponent's scoring line even if you win, dozens of students with special anti-collision helmets on their heads to play happily, many energetic young people who have nowhere to vent love to play rattan ball.

Drama letter is a rattan ball lover, sitting outside the stadium holding a stack of Chang'an Express to read, the bamboo paper printed with lead movable type still exudes a strong pungent smell of ink, anyway, the eight pages include the rattan ball express, Keju express, horse racing express and polo express and many other events, these events have a variety of complete variety, and gradually become the most favorite entertainment activities of Chang'an residents.

What's more interesting is that Bashui in the east of Chang'an City also holds a fishing tournament, every month there is a small loop to compete for the champion of the month, the highest 100 people enter the annual finals held in September at the end of the year, it is said that the first place can get a high prize of up to 1 million dollars, and there are many workshops that produce fishing gear to sponsor which is like a fishing competition.

"Huh? Why is the Han army withdrawing? ”

The drama confidence tightened, and saw a piece of tofu block laughing on the page with the news that the general of the Che Cai was preparing to retreat, it was said that it was because of the impact of the war on the Western Front that the battle plan for the north failed, he felt very anxious, it stands to reason that the Han army should be able to continue to go north, there are 300,000 troops in Chang'an City at any time, no one will believe that the Huns really broke Longxi and entered the pass, but the fact is that the Han army wants to retreat.

"It shouldn't be! Such a good opportunity should not be retreated, doesn't the general of the chariot cavalry know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? ”

He didn't believe that the general of the Che Cavalry would not see that the opportunity was rare, judging from the situation that the Huns could not resist in the face of a big defeat, there would definitely be amazing gains if they continued to go north, and maybe they would achieve the great achievement of destroying the court of Zuoxian, so it would be a pity to give up like this.
