Yi Nan followed the tribe people half a year ago with a large number of cattle, horses and leather goods to Huaihuang to trade, he hid his identity, only arrived in Huaihuang as a small steward in a caravan, and then stayed in Huaihuang for half a year, during this half a year, he comprehensively observed Huaihuang, observed this emerging force, and observed this emerging force that repeatedly won more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak.

In the past six months, he has learned a lot and gained a lot.

"Then what have you learned, that is, how to eat knives and forks and eat meat?" But he didn't agree with his son's words.

"Father, do you remember a Han soldier book you gave me before?"

"The Art of War, one of the gifts I gave you when you were an adult." B lost the bowl, and many years have passed since his son's coming-of-age ceremony.

"That's right, Sun Tzu once said in the Art of War that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not slack off in a hundred battles. The best way to defeat an enemy is to get to know him, even learn his strengths, then know his weaknesses, and finally defeat him. It is no accident that Huaihuang has risen so quickly, and it is not an accident that he has been able to defeat our Tieler's soldiers and horses repeatedly, and we should face the enemy squarely. To despise the enemy is to despise oneself. ”

Yi lost the bowl and was silent, and his son's words did have some truth.

"Father, Shi Jian wanted to compete with his father for the position of commander of all the tribes this time, why did he lose in the end?" Yi Nan asked with a smile.

"Because of the sudden return from the south, the forward soldiers and horses of the various divisions we sent to the south before, because of the light enemy of the Wei Division, turned out that they themselves were ambushed by the Han people, and the next 3,000 soldiers and horses of the following three thousand troops and horses were ambushed again when they pursued the Han people, and the thousands of soldiers and horses who led the south in the early stage were lost by half, and thousands of horses were wiped out, but they didn't even pull the roots of the Han people. The defeat of the striker caused a lot of losses to all the departments, and all the departments blamed the Wei Su people, so in the end, Shi Jian failed to become the leader of the alliance. Although in fact, the defeat of the vanguard army is not only the responsibility of the Wei people, but all the departments are as light as the Wei people, and they will be defeated in the end. But after all, there has to be someone to blame, and Wei Su was the first to be ambushed and defeated, of course, he is to blame.

"Father, the Han people are the Huaihuang Army, and my father must know that these Huaihuang Army are the vanguard who defeated us in the wild. In the most important battle, 10,000 Huaihuang cavalry ambushed 3,000 of the forwards of my Tiele division, and my father knew the battle loss ratio of this battle? ”

"My various forwards are gone, the losses of the Han army are not clear, but they must have paid a lot of losses when they ate our three thousand horses, I estimate, how can we lose one or two thousand people, this is because they are three times our soldiers and horses ambushed, if the number is equal, the victory or defeat is still unpredictable." Although the news of the loss of more than 3,000 strikers has already come back, he only knows that the striker has lost half of his men, but he doesn't know the price paid by the other party for eating his half of the striker, but he just takes it for granted that the other party must have paid a great casualties if he eats more than 3,000 of his own horses.

Yi Nan laughed.

"What are you laughing at, aren't you?"

Yi Nan shook his head, "Of course not, father, I have already obtained an exact report on the battle situation, the three hundred cavalry of the Wei people were wiped out in the first battle, and the Han side was five hundred cavalry, and the result of the battle was that all the three hundred Wei Su people were all gone, and they were all killed in the battle, and the rest were captured, and none of the Han cavalry were killed in the battle." ”

"It can't be!" Yi lost the bowl in disbelief and couldn't help but shout.

"Yes, when I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it, but then I looked into it and it turned out to be true. The Han people had 500 horses, and the Wei people had 300 horses, and the Han people were quite cunning, they first used a number of cavalry squads to arrange for the Wei people to go out of the camp and plunder on the way, lure them into pursuit, and then introduced an ambush circle, a hundred horses were gone, and none of the Han troops died. Then they persuaded the captured Wei Su to "escort" a hundred Han horsemen back to the camp pretending to be the captives they had taken captive, and as a result, they successfully entered the camp, and in the end they did not even use the Han people to make a move, and as a result, the Wei Su people who surrendered to the Han killed all the 200 Wei Su who were left behind. ”

"This, how is this possible!" It's really hard to accept such a result, "You must have listened to some wrong information, it must be a rumor." ”

"It's not a rumor, it's not misinformation, it's a fact. In fact, Wei Su's 300 men were careless and did not have the slightest defense, and as a result, all 300 people were lost, and the opponent's 500 Han cavalry did not even die from beginning to end. In addition, father, look at the process of this battle, the Han people have 500 horsemen, obviously surpassing the Wei people, and the Wei people are careless, in this case, if your father is the leader of this Han army, what will you do? ”

"With more strikes and fewer blows, the enemy is unprepared, so naturally he will directly enter the enemy camp and destroy them in one fell swoop."

Yi Nan knew that his father would be such an answer, in fact, he later carefully restored the entire process of the Wei Su people's battle, and came to a similar conclusion, if it was the tribal soldiers and horses of the grassland, no matter which tribe it was, most of them would not be as troublesome as the Han people, and they would directly kill the enemy, ambushes, etc.

"Then father, think about it, if you command the attack, what will be the final result?"

Yi Shibo thought about it, if he commanded 500 cavalry to attack the 300 unprepared Wei Su people, the result would definitely be won. However, even if such an attack is won, it will definitely not be able to destroy three hundred in five hundred like the Han people, and in the end there will be no casualties. Not only him, but it is estimated that even if he is commanded by any other general, as long as it is a direct attack, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve zero casualties.

"In fact, the Huaihuang Army is not without casualties. When they finally attacked the camp, they were brought into the camp by the Wesu who had surrendered, and then the surrendered Wesu suddenly attacked and exterminated their people. In the end, the battle turned into a cannibalism among the Wei people, and it was the Wei people who died. "The more Yi Nan studied, the more he admired the Huaihuang Army, 500 people defeated 300 people is not a big deal, but he can still fight so beautifully, and in the end there are no casualties, this is simply a miracle, but the Han people did it.

"Later, the Huaihuang cavalry fought against the three thousand Tiele forwards, and it was basically the same, and the Han people set up ambushes to lure my Tiele forwards into traps, and finally raided and ambushed. 10,000 against 3,000, my 3,000 forwards are gone, either death or surrender, but there are 10,000 cavalry, and the final battle dead are not even more than 100. Yi Nan's words even carried a hint of fear for this Huaihuang cavalry.

"And father, do you know, according to the reliable information I have received, in the face of the surprise attack of the Huaihuang Han cavalry, the three thousand forward cavalry composed of our various divisions actually broke and fled directly, without even a little resistance, and finally were completely defeated in a short period of time, or died or surrendered."

"This is impossible!" At this time, he didn't know what to comment except for exclaiming. He didn't want to admit that this was the truth, but he also knew in his heart that his son would not joke with him about such a thing, but he really found it difficult to accept it. He could accept that the Han cavalry defeated the Tiele Front, but it was only three hundred or three thousand, and even if the whole army was annihilated, it was not an unacceptable fact. What is unacceptable is that he praised himself as a fierce Mobei Tiele cavalry, and the three thousand cavalry were all wiped out, while the other party suffered no more than 100 casualties. What is even more difficult to accept is that the fierce and brave Tiele cavalry, when facing a surprise attack by Han cavalry only three times their number, actually broke out and fled without making the slightest resistance, and then did not run away, and the whole army was still annihilated.

What about the courage of the Tiele warriors, what led them to defeat without a fight in the face of the Han cavalry? He felt like he had a pretty serious problem, a very, very serious problem.

"How many people know about this?" Yi asked sternly. He put down the cleaver in his hand, and he no longer had the appetite for the delicious roast lamb.

"Except for me, only you know the news now." Yi Nan's source is very special, after the battle of the Frozen River, the other half of the strikers who stayed behind only learned the news that the pursuit of the strikers was gone. The scouts they sent out only saw mountains of headless corpses piled up on the battlefield, all of them were the corpses of those forwards, hundreds. In addition to these icebergs of headless corpses, none of the other more than 2,000 pursuing forwards were gone.

In the end, they reported to Yu Dujin Mountain that the 3,000 men and horses and Wei Su's 300 horsemen were all killed in battle, but they only reported that the 3,300 men were killed in battle, but they failed to report how much the Sui army that defeated them cost them. Because of the battle of Binghe, there was not a single survivor at all, and there were no corpses of the Sui army on the battlefield, so they could not know the result.

Yi Nan's intelligence has another source, after he went to Huaihuang last time, he saw the magic of Huaihuang, and at the same time he also secretly established an intelligence network in Huaihuang, although there are not many people, but there are also people in Wusha Castle. His information came from the people in Wusha Castle, and the Sui army returned to Wusha Castle after the victory of the Unfrozen River, and the spy quickly found out about the results of this battle, and immediately reported it to Yi Nan in surprise.

"This result can only go so far, and it can't spread any further. You know what I know, and no third person can know. Yi lost the bowl and said to his son. Now everyone only knows that the striker has lost half, but they don't know that they will lose so badly, the loss of more than 3,000 people, and they have not been able to cause more than 100 casualties to the other side. If this news spreads, I am afraid that the morale of the allied forces of the Mobei Tiele tribes will be weakened.

"Although I can guarantee non-proliferation, I would like other leaders to learn about this result from other sources." Yi Nan said.

"Anyway, it's a day to be able to keep it a secret."

Seeing that he was in such a worried mood, Yi Nan couldn't help but ask: "Our plan is still the same, are we still going to enter Huaihuang?" ”

"This is the decision of the leaders of the various departments during the deliberations of the alliance, Huaihuang has already fought with my Tiele Duo Department, and this time he killed more than 3,000 of our forwards, this feud is big, and now the departments are eager to kill Huaihuang immediately and set foot on Huaihuang."

"It's a robbery, right?" Yi Nan snorted coldly, he knew that Huaihuang's reputation for wealth was far away in Mobei, and many tribes were attacking Huaihuang with the idea of grabbing a big deal. "They are afraid that they have not thought about it at all, Huaihuang is not a bone to gnaw on, let alone a cowardly lamb."

Although Yi Lost Bowl is the leader of the coalition army, this is only a loose tribal coalition army, and he doesn't have much power, so he can't do it single-handedly. "If only we were careful, with our current army. I believe that we can still defeat Huaihuang. "B lost the bowl.

"It's a dangerous idea." Yi Nan didn't agree with his father's words at all, and fighting a war is not something that can be won by numbers.

"We can assemble all the troops this time, but we have gathered an army of 100,000. One hundred thousand! Yi lost the bowl and raised his voice a little, 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all fierce cavalry in Mobei. Even if only one-third of them are the most elite, they are still a very strong force. In his mind, 100,000 cavalry can directly enter the Central Plains, attack Hedong Daibei or Youyan Land, and rob it in a big way. Even if it is not advantageous for their cavalry to be good at attacking the castles in the Central Plains, if they are only going to attack the Huaihuang Castles that are hanging on the block, it should be no problem. Fighting on the flat grassland, who is the opponent of the Mobei cavalry? Even if Huaihuang has city walls, but most of those city walls are built on flat grasslands, lacking real dangerous geographical advantages, even if the city is besieged by cavalry, it is not too difficult.

Yi Nan shook his head helplessly, this time the tribes took Datou and Dulan Lingjian south, and chose the primary target as Huaihuang. First, because Huaihuang had attacked the Tiele tribes several times, and secondly, Huaihuang was rich, and the leaders of the various departments were clamoring to destroy Huaihuang, one for revenge, and the other for robbery and wealth. But although several of these guys have been attacked by Huaihuang and suffered great losses, they have not really inquired about Huaihuang at all, and they don't know the true situation of Huaihuang, nor do they know the true strength of the enemy they want to fight.

"Father, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Huaihuang?" Yi Nan asked directly.

"How much? Huaihuang is a newly established small force, even if they are attached to the Sui Dynasty, how many soldiers and horses can they have. I estimate that there will be 20,000 or 30,000 people at most, and if some young people are recruited temporarily, maybe 50,000 people can be gathered. "B lost the bowl.

Yi Nan stroked his forehead with his hand, and he felt powerless. His father is in the Tiele tribes, because he is the leader of a large tribe close to the Central Plains, so his vision is still relatively keen, but when he said such things at this time, you can imagine the thoughts of other Tiele leaders.

"Twenty thousand? Fifty thousand? Yi Nan sneered speechlessly: "Father, if I sue you, Huaihuang now has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the three Xifei Khitan tribes are also closely united around Huaihuang, and will send troops to support at any time, do you want to believe it?" ”

"What!" B lost his voice again. R1152
