Chapter 16 The enemy must be taken
The Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty is not entirely consistent with the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty that survived in later generations. In fact, the Great Wall of Qin can be said to have two kinds: one is from the West Korean Bay in the south of the Yalu River in the east, first to the northwest to Liaodong, and then to the west, to the Hetao, which was newly built by Meng Tian after driving the Xiongnu to the north; The second is to rebuild the Great Wall of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan, connect it together, start from Lintao, obliquely insert it upward, and lead to the clouds in the northeast.
Among them, the Great Wall, which is now the jurisdiction of Xun District, belongs to this latter one, and enters Shangjun from the southwest, passes through the north of the county Zhifushi, turns to the city of Qiuzi and the West River, and then goes all the way north, from the west side of Meiji and then enters Gohara-gun. Of course, Zheng Hun couldn't tell the difference between the two Great Walls of Qin in the south and the north, although Shi Xun liked history in his previous life, he had not studied history and geography in detail, and he was completely confused.
Zheng Hun suddenly proposed the Great Wall of Qin, and the big guys were all stunned, and said in their hearts, what is this going to do? If you want to rebuild the Great Wall of Qin, not only do you lack this financial and material resources, but most of the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan are south of the Great Wall in the north, so if you don't drive them away first, how can you repair it? What are you doing here? As for the Great Wall in the south, it is used to protect the Han land, but the problem has not hit the south of Meiji, nor the north of it, but has passed directly through it from the west.
Don't say it, Zhuge Liang has seven tricks, and he first figured out where the connection was, so he arched his hand to Chao Shixun: "Students, please build the Great Wall north of Yuanyin and Qiuzi in the west to resist the Huns!" ”
When Shixun heard this, his mind was foggy, and he said in his heart that if you build the Great Wall in the north of Lishi or on the east side of Yuanyin. It can also be said that "the Huns". This runs between the Yin and the turtle to repair. Can you stop the Huns? No one needs to take a detour, just go south, who will take the initiative to hit your city wall? Besides, aren't we talking about sorties, why did this turn back again?
However, Shi Xun knew that Zhuge Liang was not the Zhao Kuo who talked on paper, and even if Zhao Kuo did, he would not propose such a can't be beaten with one mouth. There must be a deep meaning to that. If someone else, for example, Qin Yi and Sun Wen said this, Shi Xun might slap the table and scold him on the spot, but these words came from Kong Ming's mouth, but he couldn't help but ponder. Immediately ripped over the map and looked at it-
Ah, the map of this year goes up and down from the south to the north, and it's really awkward to look at...... In short, Meiji is located in the north and west in the south, and there are three county towns in a small area. That is, Guangyan and Pingding in Xihe and Zhenlin in Shangjun, as well as Guluo City. At this time, they were all under the control of the Huns. The three cities are further straight to the south, which is the two counties of Yuanyin and Yuanyang, and there is a Huchuquan department stationed in the territory, which has now been subdued by its own family. To the west of Yuanyin is Qiuzi, and to the south and east are Lin County, Gaowolf and Lishi.
He stretched out his finger and drew a line in the north of Qiuzi and Yuanyin - the Great Wall was built here, this ...... Eggs?!
Zhuge Liang smiled and leaned over, also stretching out his fingers. However, he did not draw from east to west, but from north to south, from the west of Lishi to the east of Meiji—"This is the river." The west river is divided into two, the beauty is in the west, and the stone is in the east, and it must be divided into two places......"
Zhuge Liang said while nodding his head, and he was silent when he finished his beard. Guo Huai stood up and objected: "Although Kong Ming's plan is wonderful, it is not feasible to make the lord use his body as bait!" "It's Xunxin who said yes, it's a big deal that I can't take Meiji, or although I won Meiji, I didn't completely destroy the Huns, and this is not about the general trend of the world, it's just a corner of the battle, there is no need to take this risk, if I put my life into it, how can I get it?!
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Mr. Wanjin's body, the world looks up, how dare Liang take Mr. as bait?" I want to fake the name of Mr., and this plan can be done on its own. ”
Ah, did Xun Xin say that Zhuge Liang was going to be my stand-in? Want to be my Shadow Warrior? That sounds ...... It's an honor to return the mud horse......
At the moment, he pretended to persuade a few words, and he didn't want Zhuge Liang to take risks. But Zhuge Liang said: "If this plan is successful, the Xiongnu can be merged, with the wisdom of Mr., over time, it will not be a problem for China." Liang can do this, and he will leave a name for eternity, so why hate even if he dies? ”
It was Xunxin who said that the Xiongnu were not suffering from China, but there were still Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Qiang, what else would there be in the future, China was suffering a lot, can you bear it alone? However, there is no need to declare this kind of words, although he also feels that if he takes a Zhuge Liang in order to pacify the Huns, it will be a bit of a loss, but seeing that the young man is full of energy, eager to try, full of surging blood that does not hesitate to abandon his life for the righteousness of the world, it is not good to pour cold water more. In the end, he could only say: "Kong Ming still needs to be careful - all the secretaries discuss together to ensure that this plan is flawless." ”
The crowd held a meeting for three days, and finally studied every aspect of the plan thoroughly. Immediately, Xun personally led Liu Jing's Xiongnu to the north of Yuanyin, and after surveying the terrain, he used the remains of the Great Wall of Qin to start building buildings.
Shi Xun said to those Huns: "The Han soldiers are different from you and other roaring and jumping, and they must rely on the city. I want to build a city here, connected by walls, like the Great Wall of the past, which can be the foundation for progress. The grain and straw of the Quartet are all gathered here, so they can attack and retreat and defend, and then lead you and others to Linmeiji, and there is no reason to refrain from it? ”
It's not that I'm not going to fight Meiji, nor am I going to build some pillboxes for long-term defense, but I want to build some pillboxes to use as a base for advancement and a storage point for grain and grass. As long as you help me build the base, we will have no worries, and then we can lead you directly to Meiji. Those of your own clan have strong horsepower and come and go like the wind, and if we fight in front and they take the back road, the chances of victory will be slim. Our Han people are different from you Xiongnu in using soldiers, "the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first", we have to take into account the problem of material transportation, and it is impossible to go all the way and grab all the way. Besides, the pastures and livestock of your clansmen, I promised to reward you after winning the war, and you will have to eat a lot in the course of the war, and you will complain about me later, right?
It's Xun's mouth, even if it doesn't make sense, he can turn around, which makes people sound reasonable, not to mention that those Huns don't have any cultural knowledge and lack logical thinking, so they believe it on the spot. Lord Thorn Shi said to hit Meiji, okay. Let's go fight; Lord Thorn Shi said that it is better to build the wall first and then fight Meiji. Also become. Let's help fix it. The question is...... We're only going to build tents, not walls.
Yes Xun said that this matter is simple, so I will order Qin Yi and Qin Yilu to take charge of this matter, and find some Han craftsmen to demonstrate, and you will learn it as soon as you learn it. Most of the city walls in these years are built of mud, and although there are bricks, the technology is not up to par, and the cost is too high. Rarely used. The Great Wall of Qin was made of mud, and Shi Xun didn't think about building a brick wall - even if he had that technology, he couldn't afford to spend that money - the Han people did the work of building the plate, and the Huns just dug the soil, mud, and tamped it, mainly because of the strength work, and did not use any technology.
It was Xun who taught the Huns: "To work is to get food." If you don't drive your mounts and bathe in blood on the battlefield, your cattle, sheep, and grain can't fall from the sky? The army is not in the ascendant. Let you build the city first, and then work also. I have my own grain and silk rewards—if I don't want to be a writer, I have no food! ”
At the same time that Shi Xun, Qin Yi and others were building the Great Wall in Yuanyin—in fact, it was just the source of Zheng Hun's inspiration, and to be serious, it was to build some bunkers and build an advance base—at the same time, Zhang He also led 5,000 Han troops and 5,000 Hu cavalry, from Lishi to the north, sweeping all the way to the past.
As Zhuge Liang said, the Yellow River is surging and divides the entire Xihe County into two, so different strategies should be used for the two battlefields. Zhang He's purpose was to patrol the east of the Yellow River, sweep the pastures, and drive all the local Huns across the Yellow River. Aren't there famous elders of the Xiongnu who like to graze in this area? He was the one who was in charge. And it is foreseeable that after he retreats, he will not go to Yixianbei, and it is unlikely that he will jump north to Yanmen, but will inevitably cross the Yellow River to the west - because the base camp Meiji is in the west of the river.
Zhang He's military campaign was carried out quite smoothly, attacking more than a dozen Xiongnu tribes, killing more than 100 people, and capturing nearly 1,000 people—all of whom were tied up and sent to the Hukou Coal Mine according to the old rules. In the end, he didn't find the Xiongnu elder, and according to the intelligence, the other party saw the opportunity quickly, and had already escaped the Yellow River and returned to Meiji. Zhang He took the opportunity to train with battles, gradually integrated the 5,000 Hun soldiers into the Han army camp, and also dispatched troops and horses to control several important crossings on the Yellow River.
It is said that the Huns had a different way to cross the river, which was to make a raft from cowhide, which could be used after blowing enough air. However, this kind of raft can also take one person, with weapons and equipment with him, as long as he does not enter the water at the ferry, Zhang He has time to rush to block before he lands on the shore, and when the arrows rain down, there is no need to shoot people, as long as the raft is missed, the Hun soldiers on the raft will definitely die.
At the same time, it is also quite smooth for Shixun to repair the base north of Yuanyin. He first built two pillboxes, one for soldiers and the other for grain storage, and planned to connect them with long walls after they were built to facilitate defense. The bunkers were not large, only a hundred paces long and wide, but they were built high and solid, and although they could only accommodate hundreds of soldiers, they could withstand thousands of troops. In contrast, the blockhouses for storing grain are several times larger, and if the people are stuffed, three or five thousand people are not satisfied, but the wall is not more than one person high, although it is difficult for horses to cross, it is easy for people to climb.
Probably in order to save labor and strengthen the defense of the grain and grass station, there is also a circle of deer twenty steps outside the bunker. Seeing that there was a vehicle coming from the south, covered with coarse cloth, it drove into the middle of the field. The Huns who built the city looked at the drooling - how much food must be stored here! Could it be that the adults are afraid that after winning the Meiji, we haven't produced much in the first year, so we have specially prepared it for the reward of the day after tomorrow? He put so much effort into transporting grain from all over the world, but he couldn't finish it and then transport it back.
In fact, although the details of Zhuge Liang's strategy are complicated, the principle can be summed up in a word, that is, "luring the enemy". In order to be able to completely annihilate the Xiongnu in Meiji, it is necessary to lure its main force to the south, and since it is not easy to show weakness, there is another way, that is, to attack the enemy's place must be saved, and the enemy's place must be taken.
Shi Xun was still afraid that the Huns in Meiji would be stupid, and deliberately publicized it under Liu Jing's command, and this part of the Huns had not been completely subdued, and occasionally fled a few and ran to Meiji, so they would naturally report to the elders, saying that no matter how strong the Han army was, as long as the base was repaired, it would attack on all fronts. If the elders' heads don't get into the water, they will inevitably strike first and send troops to attack them, so that this base will never be completed.
Of course, the Xiongnu may also cross the river to counterattack, take Lishi directly, and carry out the plan of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao". However, there was Zhang He on the east bank of the river, and he also controlled several ferries, and it was not easy to cross; Second, Shixun is not in Lishi at this time, but in the frontline base, instead of attacking Lishi, how can he attack the base? If you can beat the assassin and even capture it, won't the crisis be completely resolved?
Sure enough, about the end of February, the two bunkers have not been completely completed, and the middle city wall has not yet begun to be built, and there is a report from the horse, and the enemy is coming, but ...... "It's not the Huns, but Xianbei!" (To be continued......)
