Pingcheng's lesson is so profound that even Liu Che is subconsciously full of resistance to going out of the winter jam.

The scene of Napoleon, Hitler, struggling in the ice and snow of Lao Maozi's house made Liu Che extremely afraid.

No one wants to open a quest called 'Winter is Coming'.

Although, the climate and environment of the Hetao are 108,000 miles away from the ice and snow of Maozi's family.

However, the fear of the cold winter is still deep in the bone marrow.

In addition, the impact of the Battle of Pingcheng naturally made Liu Che full of doubts about starting a war in winter.

Therefore, before, the general Li Xi and even the bow high Hou Han Rongdang proposed to start the Battle of Hetao next winter, but Liu Che did not agree.

However, at this moment, Yizong also said that winter can be warn.

allowed Liu Che to finally examine his own judgment.

Is winter scary?

Scary of course!

However, today's Han family can survive even Anton's winter.

Why fear a winter in a loop that is much warmer than the Great Khing'an Mountains and the Heihe River?

So, Liu Che sat up straight and said, "Go on......"

"Again......" Yi thought about it and said: "The Art of War: Surprise attack its unpreparedness, winter and October, the Han New Year, the Huns must think that our army needs to celebrate the New Year, prepare for the Great Dynasty, at this time, the Huns will be at a loss!" ”

Liu Che listened and nodded, the famous Yom Kippur War in later generations was a classic successful example of using the enemy's psychology to launch a surprise attack.

It's just that......

In the era of cold weapons, there is not much time that this kind of deception can win.

At most, it can give the Han army time to win a breakthrough and capture Ziling.

Next, the Han army had to face the dangerous and strong fortress of Gaoque.

The fortress is definitely more difficult to break through in winter than in summer.

The cold climate will freeze the North River, but it will also make the high gate more solid and difficult to attack.

Liu Che believed that the Huns would definitely be able to think of a way to delay the Han army's offensive by sprinkling water on the mountains near Gaoque and Gaoque.

It's not a difficult question.

Liu Che didn't want to risk the lives of his soldiers to fill in Gaoque and Yangshan.

But Yi Zong obviously put more effort into the Hetao, especially the geography near Gaoque, than the generals and nobles who had come before to persuade Liu Che to go to war in the winter.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Che and said, "Third, Shen Tuze will freeze in winter, and a frozen soil road will appear that can be used by people and horses with heavy equipment!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Che immediately changed color.

What does this mean?

Liu Che couldn't be clearer!

This means that in winter, the Han army can ignore the Xiongnu defenders who have lost Ziling, cross the Beihe River, and go straight to Gaoque.

Even, you can carry out a surprise attack on Gao Que.

Gao Que is certainly dangerous, but also very strong.

It is no exaggeration to say that back then, if it weren't for the Qin people who took the initiative to give up here.

The Huns want to get Gaoque, I'm afraid, even if the last man dies, they won't be able to realize this dream!

For today's Han family, taking back Gaoque means controlling the Beihe, controlling the Beihe, and controlling the Beihe is equivalent to mastering most of the Hetao.

What's more, Gaoque, Yinshan is in sight!

As long as Yinshan is taken again, Chang'an and the entire north will be safe!

The Hun cavalry will never think of threatening China's security again!

It's just that......

Is this information reliable?

Liu Che couldn't judge.

So, he looked at Yizong and asked, "Where did Qing know this information?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a disciple, named Jian, who has a Hu slave, who is the Marquis of the Hun Zhilan Bone Capital, which the minister learned from a sentence he inadvertently said!" Yi Zong said: "In addition, after learning about this matter, the minister wrote a letter to the Duke of Wei in Yunzhong County, asking Duke Wei to investigate the matter with all his might, and now, it has been ascertained that in winter, there will indeed be a small road for people and animals to pass through in Shentuze!" The Xiongnu tribe often travels from them to and from both sides of the Ziling Mountains in winter......"

As he spoke, Yi Zong handed a letter to Liu Che: "This is a reply from Duke Wei, please take a look at it!" ”

Liu Che took the letter and looked at it.

Then, he ordered: "Order the Embroidered Guards and Yunzhong County to find out the scale, size, and appearance time of this trail at all costs!" ”

If in winter, Shentuze can indeed appear a frozen soil road, which can be passed by people and animals.

So......

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Han family!

Bypass Ziling and go straight to Gaoque!

If the high que is lower, the enemy of Ziling is equivalent to the turtle in the urn.

What's more, it can also catch the Huns off guard.

Before they could react, Gao Que had already changed hands.

Then, the Xiongnu tribes of the entire Hetao will soon face two choices: stubbornly resist the king's division, or submit to China?

Moreover, for the Han family, as long as they can quickly take Gaoque, then the Han army will be able to obtain a very strategic support point on the Hetao Plain.

It can also reuse the ancient Qin Chi Road.

Turn Gaoque into a forward base.

If everything goes well, then the Han army will be able to drink Mayin Mountain and look at Hexi before next spring.

As long as Yinshan is taken, it means that the Han army can send the people back to their land before spring ploughing.

In this way, the impact of the war on the socio-economic and people's livelihoods can be minimized.

"No!" Immediately an attendant took the order and left.

Liu Che then ordered: "Summons Shaofuqing, enter the palace to see me immediately!" ”

If there is a war in winter, the task of Shaofu will be aggravated.

It's already June, and there's only four months left.

Within four months, the Shaofu must prepare the cold materials and anti-freezing materials for the army and the people.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Shaofu.

However, as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem!

Deal......

"All the cotton cloths that are ready to be issued to concubines and nobles in the court this year have been mobilized!" Liu Che said in his heart.

Now, the scale of cotton cultivation is getting bigger and bigger every year.

Even in the Andong region, some cotton fields appeared.

Of course, it's all state-run.

At present, the output of cotton cloth in the Han Dynasty is about 50,000 horses per year.

These cotton cloths were now mainly supplied to the nobility and the court.

It rarely reaches the market.

If he really decided to go to war in winter, then Liu Che would have to let the nobles and concubines of the court freeze - in fact, they couldn't freeze either.

As for antifreeze oil, that's not a problem.

Liu Che can order at any time to let Lou Chuan and Chen Huan send tens of thousands of stone whale grease to Chang'an.

With cotton cloth and cotton as warm clothing for the army, plus the frost protection provided by whale fat.

The impact of the severe winter cold on the Han army can be offset by most of it.

As long as you can quickly win Gaoque, then these efforts are worth it! (To be continued.) )
