Since ancient times, changing battles has been a taboo for soldiers.
Don't mention it far away, let's just say that in the Battle of Changping more than 100 years ago, King Zhao sent the young and promising Zhao Kuo to replace the experienced veteran Lian Po, so that the Battle of Changping failed miserably.
Although from a grand strategic point of view, Zhao has no capital to compete with Qin for hegemony, and a small loss is a victory, but people prefer to blame the mistake on the change of generals and talk on paper.
The new official took office with three fires, and Cao Shi had to take this opportunity to knock the captains of the Northern Army.
"I know that many of you have resistance to the edict of the Son of Heaven, just like two months ago, you chose Taiwei Tian Wei, I am Zhao Kuo, and Tian Wei is Lian Po?"
His eyes swept over the three columns, the officers present were at least the captains in command of the thousand-man team, each officer had a focused expression on his face, and there was no expression of weakness or fear at all, if the Han army was the most stubborn stone, the officer was the strongest among the stubborn stones.
Cao Shi has never had the experience of commanding the Northern Army, although the two southern expeditions have been quite successful, but they represent the high recognition of the Northern Army, the struggle between the two armies of the North and the South has a long history, and the victory of the Southern Army is not what the Northern Army likes to see, so even in the face of Cao Shi, a chariot general who was born at the top of the military merit, most of the officers of the Northern Army also maintained a neutral attitude.
They didn't think it was wrong to support Tian Wei, Taiwei Tian Wei at least represented the imperial court to use the soldiers of the Northern Army, and he had an innate advantage in the name of the official, and it was reasonable for Cao Shi to be excluded as a deputy general in charge of military affairs. To make matters worse, the Northern Army only sent 120,000 men, and Lieutenant Fan Taguang was left in Chang'an Town to guard the Beijing Division. The central force that really commanded the northern army was the Xiliu Battalion that was left outside Chang'an City, and the Taiwei was called the supreme general, and the commander naturally had the right to command.
Du Wei Li dared to laugh: "That pustule is not as good as Lian Po in case." The general is a hundred times better than Zhao Kuo. ”
"Zhao Kuo is not a mediocre general, Bai Qi can't stop it, I don't agree with Captain Li's opinion." Captain Yin Wen immediately retorted.
"The kid dares to raise the bar, do you want to say that Tian Wei's killing is not a pustule?"
"Please ask Captain Li to discuss the matter."
"Believe it or not that I beat you?"
Du Lieutenant Duan Hong jumped out and said from it: "Why are the two of you making trouble, everything is up to the general's arrangement." ”
All eyes turned to the general, Cao Shi'an sat and seemed to have no change, seventy percent of the soldiers of the Northern Army came from the children of Guanzhong, and the remaining thirty percent were Longxi County, Hanzhong County and Bashu, which was the territory of the old Qin people. It's always been very close.
Moreover, the Northern Army has lived in Guanzhong for a long time, and has been exposed to several times more knowledge and information than the Guandong Army, although the loyalty is also higher than that of the Kwantung soldiers, but it is very difficult to convince the Northern Army.
In the past 70 years, he has served as twenty or thirty lieutenants. Most of them relied on the Tiger Fu military order to command the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army, and without the Tiger Fu they wanted to move for half a minute, and improving their prestige was a difficult problem for every lieutenant to face, and there were many trials and more failures. So far, only Zhou Yafu has succeeded, and Zhou Yafu's success lies in his military exploits and continuous victories. As Cao Shi did in the Southern Army, only victory has prestige.
Cao Shi groaned: "Some people will say." Changing the battle will be a taboo for soldiers, so take Wu Anjun Baiqi as an example. Bai Qi concealed his identity many times and hid in the army, seized control in the way of changing generals in a critical moment, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats with sudden attacks, it can be seen that Bai Qi is well versed in the magic of reality and fiction, and this time the Son of Heaven sent me to command an army of 300,000 people, the purpose is to win this war, I don't care if you are convinced or not, but I know that only victory is the medicine to wash away shame, and only continuous victory will convince you. ”
The soldiers nodded silently, it is impossible to talk about what the tiger body shakes and worships as soon as the head is shaken, no matter how high Cao Shiwei's reputation is, he can't see or touch it, whether he is a real skill or boasting of it, he knows it when he walks on the battlefield, just like the proverb that a mule is a horse that comes out and slips away.
"In a few days, the southern army will be on the verge of a good city, and the generals of the northern army must recognize the current situation, don't blindly resist and complain, mess up the army's heart, and break the military discipline!"
"Whoa!"
If an eagle flies up to the sky and overlooks the earth, it will find that on the vast plain separated by Yanmen County's governance of good and no city, to the south is the Han army with banners covering the sky and the sun, and to the north is the black and oppressive Xiongnu army, and the 300,000 Han army faces the 280,000 Xiongnu army.
The military minister Shan Yu was very proud, and the message of the Right Xian King would soon arrive at the Youxian Palace, and he was very sure that he would quickly go south after defeating the main force of the Han army, and maybe he would try to get his wish to go to the Han Palace, which was what the Bank of China said in recent days.
In the middle of summer, the night was scorching hot, and the 280,000 Xiongnu army set up a joint camp, and a diagonal line was neatly arranged in the north of Shanwu City, and the Huns were determined to wait until autumn to withdraw.
Zhao Shi walked around the camp with the dumb girl, the mute girl's belly was round and bulging so high, but she was only six months pregnant, and her belly was comparable to nine months pregnant, and she was very worried about the life of the child in her belly, until the midwife of the Huns told her that she might be pregnant with twins.
"This is the Han land, along this road to the south through Shanwu, Ma Yi to Daiguo and Taiyuan County, continue to go south to understand your hometown Zuoyi, do you miss home?"
The mute girl nodded blankly, and then shook her head again, the memory of her childhood has been blurred, except for the outline of her mother's appearance still lingering in her mind, other relatives can't remember, she doesn't know where her home is, and she may never find her way home.
The shoulders were gently caressed, the mute woman turned her head back to lean on the man's arms and looked up at the starry sky, the summer night could see the brilliant galaxy, a round of the moon hung obliquely in the sky, and the beautiful night sky could never be enough.
"Don't worry, the war will end soon, and we have a chance to get out of here."
The mute girl shrank in his arms and trembled in fear, after all, the husband and wife had a general understanding of her husband's mission, hiding in the royal court of the Huns and doing very dangerous things, she was very worried.
"Mr. Zhao, where are you? Mr. Zhao! ”
Zhao Shi raised his head: "I'm here." Have a mission? ”
"Da Dan Yu invited you to go to the king's tent to discuss matters, and a few Han people came to the big tent."
"Guilty?"
With doubts, Zhao Shi sent the mute girl back to his tent to rest. Quickly walked into the big tent of the temporary single court, and saw that the singing, dancing and drinking banquet in the big tent was lively.
The military minister was full of red light. kept beckoning: "Mr. Zhao come and sit, I will introduce you to a few loyal partners cultivated by my Great Huns, and a few Han partners to make an introduction!" ”
"I'm Nie Yi, a merchant from Mayi."
"I'm Zhang Ying, a merchant from Mayi."
"I'm Lou Xi, a merchant from Mayi."
Several people bowed with smiles on their faces, their expressions and movements were impeccable, but Zhao Shi was still keenly aware that something was not right, and he caught a glimpse of the nervous movements of the three people hiding their hands in their sleeves, and instantly understood the purpose of the three people coming here, and they had the audacity to use their tricks between the lines!
A traitor can be honestly frightened, and he can look nervous. You can be ecstatic, but you can't be in danger and smile, this is not a living room for entertaining friends at home, and the list of three Ma Yi merchants is so big that there is no boundary.
The Bank of China said suspiciously: "A few of them are big businessmen from Mayi, and they have had a big deal with me for many years, what is the so-called thing about risking to cross the battlefield to the royal court today?" ”
"As Mr. Bank of China said, a few of us and Da Shan Yu came to buy a lot, the Han court has long been eyeing our moves, this year Da Shan Yu suddenly led the army south to attack the city and pull out the village is unstoppable. The Han army guarding in Mayi also attacked with the whole army in order to resist the Great Huns, and made a resolute resistance in Shanwu City. ”
Let's talk about it. Nie Yi, a merchant from Mayi, held a piece of parchment and respectfully handed it over.
The Bank of China said that he grabbed the parchment in front of him in three or two steps, ignoring Nie Yi's crossbow eyes and opened it to take a look: "Mr. Nie suggested that we bypass Shanwucheng and sneak attack on Ma Yi and cut off Shanwucheng's back road." The various divisions of the grassland moved south to form a situation of north-south attack, in order to completely annihilate the 300,000 Han army and seize Yanmen County. What a strategy! ”
The Bank of China said that it was deliberately retold in the Xiongnu language, which really made the Xiongnu nobles present listen to it transparently. The traitors of the Han people planned to trap their own families and design a trap to annihilate the 300,000 Han army under the city of Shanwu.
"Da Dan Yu Mingjian, although the city of Shanwu is deep and difficult to overcome, but after all, it is only a county and a county place, and it can only accommodate 100,000 troops at most, and no matter how much, you must sleep on the streets to block the streets, not to mention that the chariots and horses that occupy the space have nowhere to put them, and the food in Shanwucheng is not enough for the 300,000 army to eat, as long as the Xiongnu army bypasses Shanwu City in a roundabout way and blocks the Han army under Shanwu City, you can catch turtles in the urn!"
Nie Yi made a strangulation motion, and the Hun nobles immediately laughed knowingly.
The military minister Shan Yu was very happy: "Okay, good! Mr. Nie said what he said, wow! If you win this battle, you should remember Mr. Nie's great achievement! ”
"Thank you Da Dan for your praise, it is my lifelong wish and ambition to do things for the Great Huns." Nie Yi lowered his head and hid the sneer that flashed on his face, he was looking forward to the moment when the Huns in the king's tent were completely annihilated.
Zhao Shi didn't move, and he wouldn't pierce it.
He looked up and thought to himself, "I'm wondering, whose bad idea is this?" The large-scale detour of the Huns will definitely be exposed, as long as the Han army is not blind, they will notice it, if the detour has not been discovered all the way, wouldn't it make the Huns themselves suspicious! Such a clumsy strategy is really crazy, thanks to the Bank of China said that he was a eunuch hidden in the deep palace, who was proficient in conspiracy but did not know the geography of the mountains and rivers of the Han family, otherwise the scheme would have been exposed on the spot. ”
On the other side, Liu Che personally drove to Mayi City.
With 30,000 guards, he looked at the vast grassland in the distance, and said in high spirits: "I want to personally preside over the siege of Mayi!" Let the general of the Che Cavalry not have any doubts, although he can do it boldly and boldly, our Han army will undoubtedly win this battle!
