Chapter 745 A long-term strategy

The tent of the Chinese army was quiet, and all the generals of the wind were frightened by the sudden tricks of the lord.

They stared at Zhao Yun in unison, as if they could see the contents of the bag from each other's faces.

And the young general, who has always been calm, really lived up to everyone's expectations, and while reading the letter, the expression on his face was also uncertain, and his inner unrest was completely revealed. It's just too much, because the expression on his face is too rich, but it makes the generals unable to figure it out.

Qin Feng was the most anxious, he couldn't bear the silence, and quietly walked to Mu Wang's side, and asked in a series of ways: "Wood, how is the fight over there in Youzhou?" When did you come out of the lord? How can there be three of them? The other two, can you see it? ”

"The battle situation is a long one...... Mu Wang didn't rush to explain, Wang Yu's bag will not contain much content about the battle situation in Youzhou, that is what he wants to explain to the generals of the Wind. With such a complicated topic, he was not interested in explaining it several times, and he could also see that Qin Feng's focus was not on the battle situation, but on the other two tips.

"As for these three tips, the above content is completely different, and it is aimed at three different situations...... The lord had said in advance that if he took out one, the other two would be destroyed on the spot, so as not to disturb the audio-visual. ”

"Isn't it? Can't even look at it? It's okay if he doesn't explain, as soon as he explains, Qin Feng's curiosity is even stronger, he scratches his ears and thinks for a while, and finally holds back a new question: "Then, under what circumstances are these three tips opened, can you always say it?" ”

"This can be there." Mu Wang nodded, crossed his fingers and replied: "First, it is like this, General Zilong defeated the Hu people and captured all the Xianbei tribes; Then there is the victory of the Tempest, but they have not been able to gather and annihilate it. is chasing and killing scattered and fleeing enemies; In the end, the battle is still in a stalemate......"

"So......" Qin Feng thought for a while, and suddenly as if he had made a new discovery, he screamed: "Ahh The lord didn't say it, he didn't mention the possibility that after our army defeated the Hu people, they slaughtered their tribes and returned triumphantly, is it in the bag, or said. The lord simply ......"

"The lord had expected that Ben would not slaughter his clan." It was Zhao Yun who gave the answer, he had already read the letter, and the expression on his face was very excited and joyful, but more of it was the reverence of the mountains: "The lord not only expected what Yun would do. It also points to a solution to the current dilemma. Captain Mu, you are indeed here in time, and the sacrifices of the brothers have not been in vain. ”

“…… That's not a big deal. Mu Wang was stupid when he heard it, he hadn't read the contents of the bag, and he didn't know what kind of trick was in the bag to turn things around, which made Zhao Yun so excited, and he didn't know that after the victory of the Wind Army. What a dilemma to speak of?

Qin Feng, Tian Yu and the others were even more surprised, in their opinion, the previous predicament was completely unsolvable, unless they left the captives and Han people alone, otherwise the combat power of the Hurricane Army could not be liberated. Even if you sacrifice the combat power of the Tempest. How to bring these captives back to Youzhou, and how to settle them after that is a big problem.

In the past, the Han Ting was not a grassland tribe that had not accepted submission and attached, and these tribes had either become a mixed Hu family like the Xian Yu clan, with a potential force greater than that of the state pastor. Either like the Southern Huns, they hibernate first. After the rebellion.

This is certainly not in line with Wang Yu's strategy of stabilizing Youzhou and freeing his hands to compete for the Central Plains. Similarly, if Wang Yu's advice was a short-term consideration, it would be impossible for Zhao Yun to show such a look.

"General Zilong, what is the ...... on this letter" Tian Yuchi questioned, he was not sure how confidential the content of the letter was, so he did not rashly ask to see the letter, but Zhao Yun's response was very direct, he handed the letter over casually, and said solemnly: "I am about to teach the country to let my brother know, according to the will of the lord, whether this plan can be implemented smoothly depends on the country's brother's talent." ”

"......" Tian Yu looked dazed, couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly showed the letter.

"Zilong has received this letter, and the glory of Wuxun has increased, and I am very relieved. A few days ago in the Tang Dynasty, Zilong had written to the Department of Decrees, talking about the policy of Pinghu and Anhu, so I expected that after this war, Zilong should collect all his people, not slaughter them. With the courage of Zilong, it is easy to capture, but it is difficult to be safe, and after thousands of years, there is no good way to deal with it properly. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have a plan here, and Zilong can implement it accordingly, thinking that it is a pilot ......"

The letter of the tip bag has the characteristics of Wang Yu, with a few words at the beginning, explaining the cause and effect, and then going straight to the topic. However, seeing that there was nothing in front of him, after seeing the theme, Tian Yu exclaimed in a lost voice: "Build a city? Building a city on the steppe? ”

"Building a city?" All the generals were stunned.

The words grassland and city seem to have nothing to do with each other.

There are many factors on the grassland, such as: there is a lack of materials on the grassland, there is not even enough wood, the herdsmen do not have enough craftsmen, they can make do with a tent, it is too difficult to build a city for them, and so on.

But the most important thing is not these, but the fact that there is no need to build cities on the steppe.

The fortresses of the Central Plains are usually built according to roads and rivers, in addition to protecting the safety of the residents in the city, they also serve as fortresses to cut off traffic.

It is precisely because of the construction of many cities that the war in the Central Plains is often protracted, and the strategy of attacking city by city and place is a tactic that all generals must try to avoid.

But in the steppe, the city loses this role. The herdsmen lived in pursuit of water and grass, and their whereabouts were uncertain, and it was impossible to build a city everywhere they went.

Even if a city is built, it will not act as a barrier, because there is no fixed road on the grassland, as long as you know the direction, you can go whatever you want. Unless the Great Wall is built, it will not function as a barrier at all.

There is also the issue of guarding.

The Han Dynasty did not build a city on the grassland, and the current location of the Hurricane Army was the scope of Yanmen County in the Western Han Dynasty. In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Han Dynasty had to expand far to the north, encompassing most of the grassland.

In such a vast territory, the Han army once built many cities as a place for soldiers and guards. When Zhao Yun fought near Danhan Mountain, he found at least five ruins of ancient cities, all of which were built during the Western Han Dynasty.

However, with the end of the expansion strategy of the Han Dynasty, these cities far from Middle-earth were gradually abandoned, and the Hetao was occupied by the Qiang. Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen became the horses of the Xianbei people, and the hinterland of Bingzhou was the paradise of the Huns who were obedient on the surface.

These places are too far away, and the cost of transporting supplies from the Central Plains is too great to outweigh the losses, and there are no people willing to go there in the local area. Dispatch some prisoners and prisoners, and soon they will get out of control, so that there will be a few more horse thieves and even a few new tribes on the grassland.

Difficult to control and has no strategic value. Therefore, building a city on the grassland belongs to the chicken ribs that the Hu people are incapable of and the Han people are unwilling.

Wang Yu's clever plan was actually such a plan, which was really beyond Tian Yu's expectations. This stupid solution...... It really doesn't look like the style of a hussar general who has no last resort. Zhao Yun's joy after reading the letter was equally puzzling.

Facing everyone's doubts, Zhao Yunyun smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Brother Guorang, don't worry, continue to watch." The main public school is through the past and the present, and there is no last resort. The shortcomings you know, he must have already had a plan in mind, and his intention to build the city should be different from what you think. ”

"Huh?" There's a lot more to that letter. Tian Yu originally thought that it was the follow-up strategy explained by Wang Yu, but after Zhao Yun's prompting, he found that most of the content behind it was to explain the strategy of building the city.

Obviously. Wang Yu attached great importance to the construction of the city, even more than he paid attention to the battle situation in Youzhou. Come to think of it. Tian Yu's heart suddenly moved, although the letter did not mention the battle situation in Youzhou, did it mean that the war situation had been stabilized?

No, definitely not! If there is, Mu Wang doesn't need to rush so much, and there are two other tips, which means that Wang Yu is likely to have the intention of sending the Wind Army back to Youzhou to participate in the war!

He suddenly felt the letter in his hand feel heavy, and it took all his strength to focus on the letter. Wang Yu did not mention the matter of returning aid in the letter, there were only two possibilities, either the battle situation was decided, or it was too late.

With such a mood, he read the content of the letter, although his mood was heavy, he still had a feeling of amazement: "The hussar general is majestic and strategic, and he can think of what people can't think, Tian Yu respects it." ”

Wang Yu's purpose of building the city, Hetian Yu can think of, what the predecessors have done is not the same thing at all, according to his own words, he built the city in order to rule the grassland, so that the manpower and material resources of the grassland can be used by the Central Plains.

Even Emperor Wu didn't think about it that way, because it was simply impossible.

As mentioned earlier, Hermes-Epitek is not willing to come to the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai at all, and it will quickly lose control when it comes. And the temperament of the Hu people is wilder than that of the Han people, even if they are prisoners of the Han people, they are easier to restrain than the Hu people. With the power and tricks of the Central Plains people, it is not impossible to rule forcibly, but it is just to spend resources to rule the Hu people, and the gains and losses themselves outweigh the losses, and no one will be willing to do this.

And Wang Yu came up with an ingenious solution, which seemed whimsical, but judging from what Tian Yu had seen and heard after he came out of the jam, maybe it was really a good way.

If it can be successful, the other side of the fortress will be peaceful from now on, not only that, but in the foreseeable future, the manpower and material resources of the grassland will also contribute to the expansion of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Yu's majestic strategy was certainly amazing, but Tian Yu's worries would not be reduced because of this, he returned the letter to Zhao Yun, turned to Mu Wang, and asked worriedly: "However, Captain Mu, is the battle situation in Youzhou really okay?" Has the siege of the mediocrity been solved? ”

The generals were shocked to realize that they were curious just now, and they actually forgot about this stubble, and turned to Mu Wang at the moment, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

Mu Wang's face darkened, and he slowly spoke, describing the situation before departure: "Actually, ......"

The generals changed color one after another, Qin Feng rushed to Mu Wang, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and asked urgently: "General Shan said...... Hard to make it through five days? He was always hysterical, he said five days, with the skills of a general, maybe he could last ten days or eight days, wood, how many days have you been out? Let's go back to the army to rescue now, maybe we can catch up! ”

Mu Wang shook his head, his face full of bitterness: "The last general set off overnight, all the way in a hurry, if you start counting from the second day, today happens to be the fifth day......

"What?" Qin Feng's pupils contracted suddenly.

The place where the Wind Army is located is not far from the straight line distance of Juyong City, but it has to take the mountain road halfway. Therefore, even if Zhao Yun immediately left everything behind and hurried overnight, non-stop, and did not take the road at all, it would take three days to reach Juyong City.

And so many things have not been dealt with here, how can Zhao Yun just leave? In other words, no matter what, the Windwind Army will not be able to catch up with the big battle that may occur.

Qin Feng didn't know for a while whether he was looking forward to the big war happening or not.

If it happens, Wang Yu's military strength is limited, and it may be very dangerous;

If it doesn't happen, the lord Sun Chan will die!

The Hu people will not do nothing, just retreat honestly, the Xianbei people have not suffered the losses of the White Horse General, even if it is a sneak attack and siege under Juyong City, the Hu people have not been able to take advantage. Obviously, the army has the absolute upper hand, but the killing and wounding given to the other party is that the Gongsun army kills more Hu people.

Xianbei people must understand how much of a threat to the future it is to leave Gongsun Zhan, so ......

The joy brought by the great victory was gone, and even Zhao Yun was wondering, was he too greedy for merit? If you had given up the tribal alliance earlier and returned to the side walls, would you have no regrets beyond the reach of the whip?

"Everyone, everyone!"

Mu Wang suddenly said loudly: "There's nothing to worry about, the main guild will have a way." Over the years, how many times have been more critical and difficult situations than this, and the lord has been talking and laughing, easily wading into danger, and what is there to worry about today's matter? General Zilong, Mr. Guorang, since the two of you have understood the lord's orders, then don't think about other things and concentrate on completing the task at hand! ”
