Gu Panxi was really taken aback when he heard that the Dawu royal family still had such an unwritten rule. After thinking about it, I felt that Emperor Gaozu of Dawu would use the inheritance of the great unification as a bait to stimulate military development, which is indeed not unreasonable.

It is said that under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. Just imagine, as long as you fight bloodily, you will have the opportunity to become an emperor, how many sons of the royal family will lead the troops to the battle at all costs?

After Gu Panxi figured out Shi Feidu's motive, he clasped his hands around his chest, frowned and asked, "So who is the commander of the Hun army this time?" King Zuoxian? Right Virtuous King? What is the status of these two characters? Have the spies found out? ”

"No need to look it up."

Shi Feiqing shook his head.

"No need to check?"

Gu Panxi was puzzled.

Gao Zhiyuan hurriedly added an explanation for Gu Panxi: "Mrs. Hui, there is really no need to check. Because according to the report of the spies, the army gathered by the Xiongnu this time found more than 20 tribal banners, and the total number of people was estimated at 100,000. The army of this specification can only be carried out if the king of the left and right Xian and even the Xiongnu Shan Yu personally issued a convening order. The Xiongnu are similar in age to today's son, and they will not be in person to conquer, and the Xiongnu Zuoxian King is in charge of the Xiongnu's government affairs and money, and is not good at conquest. There is no doubt that the person who commanded the Xiongnu army this time must be the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, Mao Dun. ”

"Right Virtuous King, Mao Dun." Gu Panxi muttered and repeated the name of the Xiongnu Right Sage King once, "What kind of character is this?" What is the relationship with the Xiongnu? Is there a difference between the left and right virtuous kings? ”

For the understanding of the Huns, Gu Panxi is really very little, only if he doesn't understand, he asks.

Shi Feiqing took the trouble to explain: "Although the Xiongnu had a unified monarch, they were composed of many tribes, large and small. These tribes were divided into left and right, and each had a leading figure, called the Virtuous King. The length of the left part is the left virtuous king, and the length of the right part is the right virtuous king. The left and right virtuous kings are on an equal footing, and among the Xiongnu, they are second only to the Xiongnu Shan Yu. This time, the right virtuous king Mao Dun, is young and promising, superb in martial arts, and is a fierce general of the Huns, and at the same time quite a city government and proficient in strategy. It is reported that he is proficient in the culture of our Dawu, which is very different from the ordinary Hun rough people. It can be said that Maudun is a very dangerous enemy. ”

Gu Panxi listened, and felt that Shi Feidu's decision was too hasty. This right virtuous king is not easy to mess with, and he has gathered a large number of elite soldiers and strong generals, plus the Di family army led by Lu Dewang and Shi Feidu recently, has been defeated and retreated. What kind of confidence does Shi Feidu have to dare to take the initiative to meet Mao Dun, and he still wants to kill Mao Dun in order to inherit the unification?

In this case, why is Shi Feidu still so bold and dares to instigate Lu Dewang to take the initiative to attack? What preparations did Shi Feidu make and what did he rely on? ”

Gu Panxi directly said the question in his heart, and then stared at Gao Zhiyuan. Shi Feiqing and Lu Xiaozi held the same question, and set their eyes on Gao Zhiyuan together.

Gao Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "King Wu's reliance lies in a resolution of the emperor's favor from the court this morning - under the persuasion of King Wu, the emperor's favor will summon all the soldiers and horses of Dawu within a month, gather 200,000 of them, and hand them over to Lu Dewang and King Wu for command. King Wu wants to use the absolute superiority of numbers to crush the right sage king Mao Dun and his 100,000 army! ”

"An army of 200,000?!"

Gu Panxi's tone was amazed, and Shi Feiqing's tone was suspicious.

Shi Feiqing groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Shangshu, although I have been away from the government and the opposition for a year, I still clearly remember that the total number of registered soldiers in Dawu is only 150,000. How did this extra 50,000 soldiers come from out of thin air? ”

“…… Forced conscription, pulling strong ding. ”

When Gao Zhiyuan said these five words, the expression on Shi Feiqing's face was as ugly as it was.

For his own selfish desires, Shi Feidu actually lobbied Shi Zhengqiang to levy 50,000 strong men, and put together a rabble of 200,000 for him, so that he could compete with the right virtuous king Mao Dun, so selfish, how crazy?

"The Third Emperor Brother has actually done this."

When Shi Feiqing said this, his face was expressionless, but everyone could clearly feel the monstrous anger in his chest.

Gu Panxi said anxiously: "Gao Shangshu, what was the rhetoric of Fei Du and Lu Dewang lobbying the emperor at that time?" If they hadn't come up with a strategy, the emperor wouldn't have supported them so hastily. ”

When asking about politics, he is power-hungry, but he is not stupid. Gu Panxi would not believe that he would rashly issue such a decision, and if it fails, it may shake the decision of the country.

Gao Zhiyuan only felt that Gu Panxi was as smart as ever, and he suddenly grasped the key place, and said with a gesture of the strategic sand table: "Madame is right, Lu Dewang did propose a strategy above the court. ”

Saying that, Gao Zhiyuan used his baton to go to a small town on the border of Dawu and said: "Lu Dewang pointed out that the Xiongnu temporarily formed a large army and ran for a long time, and the supply of grain and grass would inevitably be insufficient. He chose this civil fort, thirty miles from the Kawar plain, as a temporary military fortress, and within this month he built a high wall and stockpiled grain and grass. At that time, he will be able to rely on the civil fort, so that he can attack and retreat. Through the crushing advantage of numbers and grain and grass, in the decisive battle on the plains, every time he won a small victory, he retreated in time, replaced the wounded with soldiers in good condition, and completely annihilated the Xiongnu army that was short of grain and grass and inferior in numbers. ”

At first glance, it seems to make sense, but Gu Panxi just faintly feels that it is wrong. Unfortunately, she has never been on the battlefield, and it is difficult to put forward high opinions on these actual military judgments.

It just so happens that next to this strategic sand table right now, there is a person who has fought with the Huns with real knives and guns.

Shi Feiqing pondered for a while, and sighed: "Brother Three Emperors and General Lu are really too anxious. In carrying out such a deployment, they are simply taking risks. ”

Gao Zhiyuan handed the baton to Shi Feiqing's hand with interest, and said: "Son, see it, the old man listens." ”

Shi Feiqing smiled, took the baton unrelentingly, and said, "In the past, when I was on a personal expedition with the old general, I once passed by Tumu Fort. This civil fort is full of low earthen walls, the highest position, but the height of the people, even if a large number of men are sent to build it now, it will be difficult to turn this border town into a qualified military fortress within a month. Lu Jiangjun's claim that he can rely on the civil fort to 'retreat and defend', I dare not say that he is lying falsely, but it is really difficult to agree. ”

As he spoke, Shi Feiqing put the woodcarved villain representing the great warriors in the position of the civil fort in the strategic sand table.

Now on the strategic sand table, there are ten knight statues representing the Xiongnu army, each representing 10,000 people; There are twenty statues of infantry representing the Dawu army, each of which also represents 10,000 people.

Shi Feiqing said: "Among the 200,000 troops of Dawu, there are 50,000 elite soldiers in the Di family army and 100,000 in the local army. The remaining 50,000 strong men have basically not received military training, and their combat effectiveness is very limited. ”

Shi Feiqing said, while using a brush to write three logos on the abdomen of the corresponding infantry statue, "Di", "place" and "Ding".

"Just imagine, thirty miles outside the Tumu Fort, there are plains where the Huns can give full play to their cavalry strength. Under these circumstances, Lu Jiangjun and the Third Emperor Brothers, with only 150,000 actual troops, tried to fight each other, so that the result was almost only one ......"

As he spoke, Shi Feiqing turned his baton sideways and swept it on the strategic sand table, sweeping all the infantry statues representing the Dawu army to the ground.

"Overturned!"

These two words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which shook Gu Panxi's heart, and she reacted suddenly, knowing why she didn't understand military affairs, but she faintly felt that something was wrong.

That's all because of a name!
