At the height of the Xiongnu, there were 300,000 people who were known as the commanders of the strings, and the total population was about 1.5 million by one soldier - of course, this refers to the Xiongnu proper, not including the surrounding tribes that were conquered but still retained a certain degree of independence. But then it was defeated by the Han, followed by the five singles in the dispute, until the north and south split, the population plummeted, and there were only hundreds of thousands of people who moved into the state with the Huhan evil, and there were hundreds of thousands left in Mobei.

At this time, most of the Mobei Xiongnu had been annexed by Xianbei, and the Tiefu Department of "Xianbei Father and Hu Mother" and the Tuoba or Bald Department of "Hu Father and Xianbei Mother" were also produced. The Southern Xiongnu were also harassed by Xianbei and Wuhuan, and their momentum was declining, whether it was Meiji's Shan Yuting, or those who followed Yuluo and Huchuquan south to Pingyang, they were only twenty or thirty thousand.

This time, Shi Xun swallowed nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Huchuquan Department in one go, and these 20,000 people and double the number of family members stayed in Pingyang, and they had already been dismembered by Jia Qu. However, there are more than 100,000 people around Meiji, and the winning soldiers can also be 2 to 30,000, so it is really urgent, and even the old and weak, women and children may copy the guys into battle, and it is not so easy to merge them.

Therefore, it is necessary to convene a meeting of the generals first.

At the meeting, Zhang He first raised the question, how to deal with the 20,000 Hun soldiers who had just been subdued? Will they still be allowed to form their own system, or will they be separated and integrated into the Han army? Zhang He himself supported the split, but the problem was that the Han army was only 5,000, and it was not an overnight achievement to integrate 20,000 Hun soldiers.

Shi Xun simply asked him bluntly, how much can you eat? Zhang He replied that he would give him a maximum of 5,000 and 5,000 Xiongnu elites. He mixed it with the Han soldiers. Aim to complete the integration within three months. It was Xun who groaned: "It's too slow? "Bitter cold in the Northland. The winter is long, but it is only five months at most, and it will inevitably be spring, after which the cultivated land needs to be sown, and the horsepower needs to be recuperated, so it is impossible to mobilize troops to Meiji on a large scale.

In the end, the discussion came and went, and the Hun soldiers allocated to Zhang He were reduced to 3,000, and the unification time was shortened to one and a half months.

The remaining Hun soldiers. Shi Xun planned to sand the infirm, but Jia Qu still brought them back to Pingyang to organize the households. The 500 people who have been subdued by themselves are mixed with their own subordinates, and Guo Huai, Qin Yi, and Sun Wen are responsible for training. The last 10,000 or so had to be returned to Liu Jing for the time being, but it was under the guardianship of Liu Hu and several other Huns.

After solving the Huchuquan Department, Shixun asked Zheng Hun about the information about Meiji in detail. It is said that in the counties around Meiji, the cities are all ruined - the Huns will not defend the city at all anyway - there are more than 100,000 Huns, in addition to tens of thousands of Han people and Zahu who are driven by it. Shan Yu has long been gone. When there is a major event, the five elders of the clan will discuss and decide.

Compared with the same clan who went south to Binh Duong. The Huns of Meiji have stronger combat effectiveness, one is abundant in war horses, cattle and sheep are easy to breed, and the other is perennial and the surrounding Xianbei and Wuhuan fights, unlike Fuluo and Huchuquan, they have to fight the white wave thieves, so the combat experience is also richer, and the will to fight is also higher. If there is a head-on enemy, according to Zhang He's statement: "If there are 10,000 Han soldiers, you can be 30,000 Hu cavalry, and if you have 15,000, you will win." ”

The combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu is not comparable with the Xianbei, Turkic, Khitan, Mongol, etc. of later generations, first, the empire has been destroyed, the organization is scattered, but more importantly, the weapons and equipment are extremely inferior. The Huns were long at riding and shooting, and the problem was that the saddle was not advanced enough in those years, and the stirrup had not yet been popularized - it was clear that it covered the entire Central Plains in just a few years, but the Huns had not yet learned - even if they were small people living on horseback, there was no good saddle and stirrup, except for a few geniuses, the power of riding and archery was greatly reduced, let alone hand-to-hand combat. In contrast, the Han army has a strong organizational strength, and has good armor, fast knives, and strong crossbows, and they do not fall behind each other, and they have a better chance of winning in short-handed combat.

I think that at the beginning, Li Ling used 5,000 Han soldiers to fight against 30,000 Hu cavalry, thousands of crossbows, and killed thousands of enemies, and then Shan Yu summoned the left and right Xianwang to come, and joined forces of 80,000 troops. That's really not a myth, the Han soldiers in these years are so strong...... Or rather, Hu Qi is so weak in these years.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the heroes competed, and the organization and training were not strong at the beginning, and in Shi Xun's opinion, even if it was better than the yellow scarf to remove the old and weak, it was limited. However, after years of melee, the weak were all wiped out, and the strong stood out, especially Cao Bing, because he was able to basically ensure that the grain was sufficient by relying on Tuntian, and he had a lot of time to train soldiers, among which the elite was enough to compare with the two Han Dynasty. It is estimated that by the time the Three Kingdoms were built, the scale of the war would become larger and larger, and there would be more and more soldiers who could fight - for example, the main force of the Shu army trained by Zhuge Liang would be against Hu Cai, and it would be appropriate to fight four of them one by one.

This time, Zhang He brought over all the elite soldiers under the command of Cao Ren and Le Jin, who turned to the party, with extremely rich experience and extremely high fighting spirit. Moreover, Zhang He put them at the gate of the Huchuquan camp, and practiced fiercely for several months, if they attacked Meiji directly, even if they couldn't win, they could retreat. What's more, now there are nearly 20,000 Hu Qi?

The problem is that the Huns can't beat you, but they can outrun you. The terrain around Meiji was originally suitable for riding horses, although most of the Han soldiers under Zhang He's department were cavalry, even if they were added stirrups, the skill of controlling horses was not necessarily stronger than that of the Huns. As for the 20,000 Hun soldiers who had just been subdued, they had been in the Han land for many years, and the su zhì of the war horses had dropped very badly, and they could not catch up with their fellow clans at all.

Therefore, if you don't make a perfect plan, just kill the past directly, although the winning side has eight points, but it can only be driven away and cannot be destroyed, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future - not to mention that there are those Hun stragglers eyeing the neighborhood, and Shixun will never dare to set up the state in Meiji. Moreover, they had to deal with not only the Huns, but also the nearby Xianbei and Wuhuan fishermen. If the Huns are destroyed and the Xiongnu are strong, it is really not a situation that Xun wants to see.

So at the meeting, Shihoon raised all these questions and asked everyone to discuss a safe strategy. Although he rarely goes to the front line, after all, he has been in the Cao family for so many years, and it can be said that Hongfu is not familiar with military affairs, but he can only analyze problems, but he can't solve them, and he has to rely on the general Zhang He, as well as the geniuses Zhuge Liang and Guo Huai.

It was Zhuge Liang who first proposed to build yì, and he arched his hand to Shixun and said: "What Mr. is worried about is that he can't swallow the Huns, and make it difficult to control them." If the students want to come, if they want to win, there are only two strategies - one is to smash their hearts and capture their ditches to recruit their subordinates; Second, show weakness, lure the enemy to attack, and then cut off his rear road, which can be captured. ”

Hearing this, Shi Xun nodded at first, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again. Zhuge Liang's idea was right, if he wanted to completely wipe out the Xiongnu and try to make the least number of enemies slip through the net, he could only take these two strategies, and there was no other way. But the first one is to carry out the action of beheading, and strive to capture the enemy's brains alive, but at this time, the Huns are not alone, and there is no virtuous king, and the five elders are not staying in the same place, even if you catch one, it is useless, but will scare the four away. As for parting ways and capturing them all, it is simply a fantasy.

According to Zheng Hun's investigation, two of the five elders of the Xiongnu were in Meiji, one was in Guluo City, and one was in Manbo in Wuyuan County in the north. During the Yonghe period of Emperor Shun, the left Goulong King and the right Xian King joined forces to rebel, and went to Teruo to chase the corpse only in Hughley for the Zhonglang General Chen Gui, and actually committed suicide; In the second year of Han'an, Emperor Shun sent the Doulou Chu who stayed in Jingshi to succeed to the throne as Hulan Ruo's corpse was single, and Doulou Chu did not dare to return to Meiji, and asked to move the tooth tent to Zuoguo City in the northwest of Lishi - so the Huns also infiltrated this area, and it is said that the last elder was often nomadic between Meiji and Zuoguo City, and his whereabouts were not easy to identify.

If you want to do it, you have to find that head first, not to mention that the enemy has five heads......

The second strategy that Zhuge Liang said sounded quite reliable, to show the enemy weakness, induce him to attack, and then cut off the back road and make dumplings cleanly. The problem is that Xun has just annexed 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Huchuquan Division, and he is still clamoring everywhere to conquer Meiji, even if the Huns do not pay attention to the collection of intelligence, this news will drift to the ears with the wind, right? What's more, this time Zhang He attacked Liu Jing's camp, but he failed to completely encircle and annihilate it, and escaped more than 1,000 - where else can he run? I'm sure I'm going to go to Miji.

It is said that if you fight Meiji, only a thousand people will escape, and Shixun will only be a "buzzing" fly, even if those Huns go to Xianbei, they will not make much trouble. But now no one is sure to fight the Meiji Huns, so this little bit has slipped through the net.

Pull it back and say, this is just after shouting that he wants to cut down Meiji, and in the blink of an eye, he will pretend to be a grandson, who believes it? What's more, many Hun soldiers in the Huchuquan Department were incited by the slogan of "Fight back to the grassland", and suddenly want to show weakness, won't it make them scatter people's hearts?

Therefore, what Zhuge Liang said is very correct and goes straight to the core of the problem, but it is even more difficult to achieve than the general policy originally proposed by Shi Xun.

It was Xun Xin who said Kong Ming, Kong Ming, are you like me, just asking questions, and can't come up with any solutions? However, as the words "three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang at the top", these people under me get together, plus Zhuge Liang's true body, it is enough for the two of them, and they don't believe that there is no good way to stand.

Seeing that everyone was thinking and meditating, suddenly, Zheng Hun's sleeves shook, his brows relaxed slightly, and he seemed to think of something. Shi Xun hurriedly asked sincerely, but Zheng Wengong hesitated and said: "The minister is from the West River, looking for the elders in the county, and visiting the story of Wèn, which is to know that west of Meiji, there are the remains of the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty...... Although Qin was sharp, and Meng Tian was brave, he only drove the Xiongnu on the river, that is, he built the Great Wall, thinking that it was a plan to hold on......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang clapped his palms: "Wonderful! He turned his head and asked Shixun: "Students, please build the Great Wall to the north of Yuanyin and Qiuzi to the west to resist the Huns!" ”

Yes Xun was confused when he heard it - what, build the Great Wall? This is the one you want to play again? (To be continued......)

ps: By the way, Liu Jing is not a fictional character. In history, Cao Cao once called the Southern Xiongnu of the Chuquan Department as five departments, in order to go to the president, each of the five departments has a handsome, and the one who left his name is Liu Jing. And as for what kind of origin and status does this person have? I'll make it up.
