Chapter 7 Giving up and obeying is stopped
The biggest difference between the Huns and the Han people is probably the gap in physical fitness, the Huns, a group of carnivorous guys grazing on the grassland every day, because of the too good food, they are all five big and three thick, just take the tall and the servants, the height of the two is more than one meter nine, probably maintained at about one meter ninety-three, very tall and mighty, the muscles on the body are not to mention, the close-fitting armor on them looks a little small.
Zhao Ponu, even if he is a Han man who grew up with the Huns, his height is only about one meter eighty-three, and his figure is much thinner than the servants and tall ones beside him, but there is one person, it is the general standing next to Zhao Ponu, his figure is not inferior to the tall Huns at all, and the muscles on his body are even more developed than the servants.
If he didn't know that he was a serious Han Chinese, I am afraid that under the background of that beard and fierce face, the probability that this old man is a Hun may be even greater
Beside Zhao Ponu, a man with a majestic figure, a rough face, wearing battle armor, two long-handled swords around his waist, and a big man with a beard thicker than the Huns on his face, stood beside Zhao Ponu, and hugged his fist at Huo Quai, who had just turned around, and said in a rough voice: "General, the last general has arranged for the soldiers under his command to patrol the night, and the general can go to investigate later." ”
Dahan's tone of saying this may be a little bad, but in his conscience, he doesn't have the slightest idea of finding trouble with Huo Quai, and he also admires Huo Quai, at such a young age, he can achieve such miraculous results, Rao is a person like him who is extremely coarse and coarse, and he has to give a sigh of praise to Huo Quai.
And the reason why he spoke in such a bad tone before was entirely because he was the person he was.
He never knew what the concept of speaking in a warm voice and speaking in a low voice was precisely because of this, this guy was bullied a lot when he first joined the army, just because he said hello to people casually, and the sound he made was similar to fighting with people
The height of the big man is about one meter ninety-six, that is to say, his height is taller than the Mongols, as for the figure, it is not much different, except for the fierce face of the big man, and the tall and mighty body, the most striking thing is probably the two long-handled broadswords tied around his waist, the weight of each of these two big knives has reached about forty catties, and the two together, that is eighty catties.
Thinking about Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Knife is eighty-two catties, this person's double knives have reached eighty catties, it is conceivable that in terms of strength alone, this guy is not weaker than Guan Erye, and his image is also very suitable for the role of a general, well, he still belongs to the kind of brainless who will fight and kill indiscriminately, but if you judge people by their appearance like this, it is really a big mistake, you know, this person is Huo Quai's favorite.
Moreover, he has a very loud name.
Captain Zhenwu, a double-sword general - Zhang Taishu
Regarding the tone of Zhang Taishu's speech, Huo Quzhi said that he was used to it, and said flatly: "Well, there is Captain Lao Zhang, I will check it later." ”
Zhang Taishu hugged Huo Quai's fist, "No." ”
Next to Zhang Taishu, that is, standing on the right-hand side, a person with a similar figure to Zhao Ponu, but with Zhang Taishu, there are many servants, and he doesn't know the height, these people who have been beaten by wind and rain at the border all the year round, and their faces have turned black and yellow.
Although his face is also earthy yellow, it is quite white, and he can be called dignified, with two faint beards on his face, his body looks relatively thin, and the most important thing is that this person has an elegant temperament.
Just standing there, it was in stark contrast to the four generals beside him.
In addition, he could still feel the word calm on his body, standing beside Zhang Taishu with a flat expression, without saying a word.
Among the five low-level generals who went out with the army with General Zhonglang, Li Tian, Huo Quai, and Liu Che, he was the highest-ranking one.
Li Tian has been in the army for three years, and he is already in the position of Zhonglang general, and he can be regarded as a middle and senior general in the military system of the Han Dynasty, because he is a member of the Northern Army in the Chang'an Jing Army.
In the Han Dynasty, the soldiers and horses were divided into three parts, the border guards, the Beijing army, and the county army, the border guards as the name suggests, the defense border pass, the county army, and the same local soldiers.
But in the Han Dynasty, because Chang'an itself is located in the northwest region, away from the desert Gobi steppe where the Huns are entrenched, it is very close, and the Huns are mostly horsemen, and the marching speed is very fast, in case they break through the border pass, Chang'an is in danger, and the soldiers of the counties are too far away, which can not quench the thirst of the near water, so the emperor of the Han Dynasty set up the Beijing army, which is responsible for guarding Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Beijing army is divided into the southern army and the northern army, the southern army is Yulinwei, since the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the number of soldiers has reached 15,000 people, specifically responsible for protecting the life safety of the Han Emperor, the northern army is different, they belong to the garrison army, and once there is a war on the front line, the soldiers and horses going to the front line will always be selected from the northern army, this time Huo Quai's 10,000 elite cavalry, is selected from the 200,000 northern army.
The replenishment of troops in the northern army and the southern army are all selected from the local county soldiers, so as a result, the Beijing army is all brave and good at fighting, and it only took three years to climb to the position of Zhonglang general in the Beijing army.
He is one of the nine kings of the dynasty, the son of Li Taichang, (Taichang is an official position) Although Taichang is in charge of temple affairs and generally does not participate in politics, he is the head of the nine kings, so it is understandable that Li Tian can become a middle and senior general of the Han Dynasty with three years of military experience.
But just like Zhang Taishu, don't judge people by their appearance, if Li Tian is just a general who relies on his father's relationship and goes to the back door, then Huo Qubing will never use him, and in fact, among the five generals, Huo Qubing relies on Li Tian the most.
Because he is a rare and valuable strategic talent, with a long-term vision and good at thinking from the overall situation, this kind of person is exactly what Huo Qubing needs.
Huo Quzhi's gaze also happened to fall on the taciturn Li Tian at this time, and the champion Hou smiled lightly and asked, "General Li, how many days can our army's grain and grass last?" How should our army face the enemies of those vassal states after entering Hexi? ”
Li Tian thought for a while, stood up, and said lightly: "Back to the general's words, the last general just calculated, our army's existing grain and grass can probably last for two days, but because His Majesty ordered the prefecture and county to prepare grain and grass along the way, so before entering Hexi, we don't need to worry about grain and grass, as for after entering Hexi."
Li Tian raised his ordinary face, stared at Huo Quai, and gently spit out four words.
"Take it from the enemy."
Huo Quzhi smiled, just like he thought, in fact, he could only do this.
Li Tian continued: "And to deal with those enemies of the vassal state, the last general dared to mention six words to the general. ”
"Which six words?" Huo Quzhi's tone couldn't help but get a little worse.
Regarding the question of grain and grass before, Huo Quzhi had already made a plan, to put it mildly, that is, to grab it
What really gave him a headache was how he should face those Xiongnu vassal states, the land west of the river was already a gathering place for ethnic minorities in the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu vassal states in it, that is, medium and large tribes, were not ten but also eight, and their own strength was considerable, if they fought each one, then the soldiers under their command would probably suffer a lot of casualties.
But fortunately, after considering the overall situation of the entire Han Dynasty, Li Tian gave him an opinion, that is, those six words.
"Abandon the service and stop knowing it".
Translated into this, this is the meaning, only fight those who should be beaten, do not listen to those who are listening, and concentrate all their forces on those tenacious elements!
When Huo Quzhi heard these six words, his eyes flashed with a gleam, "Yes, just do it." ”
Li Tian's vision is very long-term, just because he knows Hexi better than Huo Quzhi, you must know that although Hexi is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, the ethnic contradictions among them are also very acute, and it is not uncommon for large-scale conflicts to occur, including fights with the Huns.
Li Tian's suggestion, the reason why Huo Qubing adopted it in one bite, is precisely because of his uniqueness, in the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did a good job in ideological education, so the soldiers of the Han Dynasty hated the Huns very much, and they fought desperately with the Huns on the battlefield.
But this also led to the fact that the Han soldiers did not have a good impression of the ethnic minorities who lived in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu except for the Huns, and they were all subordinates of the Xiongnu on the surface.
In the past wars, there have been more than one incident where the generals of the Han army attacked the Xiongnu subjects and destroyed them, because those vassal states also sent troops to help the Xiongnu attack the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Qubing didn't plan to let go of those vassal enemies at first, after all, they were all enemies.
The most important point is that Huo Quzhi also heard other meanings in Li Tian's six words "give up the service and stop it".
Differentiation, disintegration.
Li Tian's six-character policy is not only to avoid unnecessary battles when Huo Quai's army passes through those Xiongnu subject countries, but also to break the alliance between the Xiongnu and the ethnic minorities, because the Xiongnu have a bad relationship with the local vassal states, and the struggle between them is no longer a minority in recent years, and the reason why large-scale battles have not broken out is that the vassal states are forced by the powerful force of the Huns and do not dare to act rashly.
It can be expected that when the war is over, the Huns will definitely ask the vassal states to send troops to participate in the war as they have done in the past
Will a man who has succumbed to you because of your obscenity come to your aid when your enemy comes to fight you, and that enemy has shown that if you are obedient, I will not fight you?
Split apart!
Li Tian's plan can not only reduce losses, but also allow the Han to win the hearts of the people in the local area, and completely cut off the alliance between the ethnic minorities in the Hexi region and the Xiongnu.
In this way, not long after, Huo Qu was sick with the tribe without fighting, and the stubborn enemy was punished without slaughtering the people, and even in the future, the Hun Evil King led the people to surrender, all because of these six words.
After briefly discussing some things with the generals, Huo Qubing asked them to retreat.
In the empty tent, Huo Quzhi called softly, "Zhou Xing." ”
Soon, Zhou Xing walked into the tent with firm steps, and clasped his fists, "General." ”
Huo Quzhi said lightly: "How is that person now?" ”
"Back to the general's words, I'm resting."
Huo Quzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "There were too many things before, and the general almost forgot about him, go, follow me to have a look, I can't let him live so comfortably." ”
Go to bed?
You still want to sleep.
Kill you!
