Although it is said that because Zhang Jiashi took the counties along the Great Wall as the main route of march, after the Battle of Julu, Zhang Jiashi was even more helped by Wang Li, as well as his own favorable factors as the son-in-law of the First Emperor, and successfully took over the remnants of the Great Wall Army.

In the ensuing battle, the main force of the Liaodong Army, which relied on the Great Wall to go to Shangjun, quickly defeated the remnants of the Great Qin Empire in Guanzhong, and rushed ahead of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to Dingding Guanzhong.

The positive effect of this series of factors is that the counties along the Great Wall have not suffered as much damage as many counties in the Central Plains.

It's just that there is one thing that Zhang Jiashi himself can't avoid, that is, although these counties along the Great Wall have not suffered too much war, but in this regard, the counties along the Great Wall in the north are themselves quite sparsely populated, so in this aspect, the Great Qin Empire mainly adopted the method of migrating people mainly from Tuntian to enrich the population of the border areas.

In this way, after knowing that the Huns planned to go south on a large scale, the border county guards or county lieutenants who were summoned were thinking about what these people should do.

It would be a good arrangement to let these people go south to escape the war, but there is a point, hundreds of thousands of civilians moving south from the Great Wall are not so simple. Just the management personnel of these people who have been relocated, and the arrangements for the corresponding resettlement areas, are enough to keep the officials of the Great Qin Empire, who are not enough at the moment, busy again.

In a sense, it can also be said that even if Zhang Jiashi really adopts this approach, no one can know what kind of situation will occur.

Zhang Jiashi himself thought of this, and after pondering for a while, he looked at the border county guards or county lieutenants led by Yang Wengzi, and asked a question: "Can you guarantee to defend the area along the Great Wall, and then let the people retreat to the dock fort as much as possible?"

During this period of time, in order to deal with the invasion of the Huns, Zhang Jiashi spared no expense and used the method of paying wages to build a lot of dock forts in some areas that were relatively easy to defend and difficult to attack.

These forts are usually closed, and once there is a beacon fire along the Great Wall, these forts will be used, with a small garrison stationed in the forts, and then most of the people in the vicinity of the Tuntian will be concentrated into the forts to protect these people.

Obviously, although these dock forts are not useless, if these dock forts are allowed to face the attack of the Huns' large-scale troops, then the defense of these dock forts will basically have no effect.

Zhang Jiashi did not think about building some small cities, but if he did so, it was already a different level from building a dock fort.

It is not too difficult to build a relatively strong dock fort, but to build a small city with a basic earth and stone structure, the materials and manpower required are not comparable to even four or five dock forts.

Besides, there are too many areas to build a small city, and even if you want to build a city in some areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if you want to build a city some distance south along the Great Wall.

Therefore, expecting his officers and soldiers to block the Huns along the Great Wall as much as possible is also an arrangement that Zhang Jiashi thinks must be done, but it is unlikely to be done.

Except for Su Jiao, the other county guards or county lieutenants couldn't help but feel a little gray after hearing Zhang Jiashi's words. Because compared with Liaoning County and Shang County, which were the longest owned by Zhang Jiashi, although the defense system in other places was also somewhat strengthened, this reinforcement would not necessarily have much effect in the face of fierce attacks launched by the Huns.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Wengzi sighed: "Your Majesty, even Yunzhong County is difficult to hold out for a long time under the onslaught of the Huns, and other counties that are mainly facing the onslaught of the Huns, I am afraid the situation will be even worse." ”

Yang Wengzi is now the county guard of Yunzhong County, responsible for commanding the military and civilians of Yunzhong County, a salient of the Great Qin Empire deep into the Xiongnu territory, to carry out tuntian and resist the Huns' southward movement from the direction of Jiuyuan County.

Of course, Yang Wengzi himself knows one thing very well, that is, although Yunzhong County is closely connected to Jiuyuan County, if the Huns really do it at any cost, they can still effectively cut off the connection between Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County.

If this is really the case, Yang Wengzi knows very well that for a long time, Yunzhong County will become the focus of siege or even siege by the Huns.

In the case of sufficient supplies, Yang Wengzi did not worry about the Huns who were actually not very good at attacking cities, and once the connection between Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County was cut off by the Huns, then the situation of Yunzhong County would be quite bad.

Although Yang Wengzi didn't say how long he would be able to hold on to Yunzhong County, that is, the county of Yunzhong County, if he was cut off from absolute external contact, after all, this was not a matter of boasting about Haikou, but he really didn't have a certain number in his heart.

Therefore, Yang Wengzi adopted a more conservative statement: "If the Huns really storm Yunzhong County, they will not be able to hold out for more than three months." ”

As one of the Northern Frontier Legions, the current No. 1 fierce generals all said this, including Li Mian, who was newly promoted to the post of county guard of Jiuyuan County, shook his head: "Your Majesty, the situation in Jiuyuan County is very much related to the safety of Yunzhong County, but if the Huns really plan to cut off the connection between Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County, the minister is not sure that he will be able to maintain the connection with Yunzhong County under the premise of commanding the officers and soldiers of Jiuyuan County." ”

Hearing Li Mian's words, Zhang Jiashi's heart couldn't help but feel a little helpless, because he knew very well that neither Yang Wengzi nor Li Mian had deceived him, that is, if the Huns really planned to cut off the connection between Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County, then in addition to the transfer of other troops, the county soldiers of the two counties could only be regarded as fighting on their own.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiashi could only focus on the eldest county guard, that is, Ma Sikuo.

As the county guard of Longxi County, Ma Sikuo faced no less pressure than Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County, which were the first to bear the brunt, because as far as the current situation was concerned, the Xiongnu first expelled the Yueshi people to the west, that is, the area around the later Anxi Empire, and then in the battle with the Qiang people to seize the Hexi Corridor, Xiqiang was defeated.

In other words, it is very likely that Longxi County will face the Xiongnu offensive in both the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao area.

For Ma Sikuo, this situation should not be a situation that can be faced calmly.

Ma Sikuo saw Zhang Jiashi looking at him, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Due to the defense of the Great Wall, the pressure from the Hexi Corridor should not be too great, but if the main direction of attack of the Huns is the Hetao area, we are likely to take care of one and lose the other, and this matter is really difficult to do." ”

Ma Sikuo said a place, which is undoubtedly the pain of most of the county guards and county captains of the Northern Frontier Army at the moment, because Meng Tian spent a lot of effort back then, and the Great Qin Empire paid a lot of casualties before seizing the Hetao area from the Huns. After the outbreak of large-scale civil unrest in the Kwantung region, the Huns recaptured the Hetao region at a fairly small cost.

This can be said to be an unacceptable situation for personnel, including Yang Wengzi.

It's a pity that although Zhang Jiashi himself is an uncle to recover the Hetao area, it is obvious that the current national strength of the Great Qin Empire does not support the relaunch of the Battle of Yinshan in the Hetao, and in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, it is not even the reality of the military strength of the heyday of the Great Qin Empire, so that Zhang Jiashi can only choose to restore the development of national strength as the premise.

Although Yang Wengzi and others were very helpless about Zhang Jiashi's choice, they also understood that Zhang Jiashi was not weak and incompetent, and under the premise that the situation was weaker than others, it was understandable that Zhang Jiashi had to choose to give up the choice of a full-scale war with the Huns.

And this time, Zhang Jiashi himself had to face this problem, because the Hetao area was a relatively weak link in the corresponding area of the Great Wall system of the Great Qin Empire, and if the Great Wall section of Yinshan in Hetao was lost, then the garrison stationed in this area could only retreat to Xianyang County and Shangjun.

And the Huns could even choose to directly attack the defense point of the Great Wall closest to Xianyang City, and then drive straight forward after the breakthrough and assault Xianyang City.

Zhang Jiashi was not worried about this situation, because if the Huns really had this plan, Zhang Jiashi could guarantee that he would have enough means to deal with the main force of the Huns under the command of Mao Dun.

The outcome of the war is indeed unpredictable, and at present, the outline of Xianyang City has not yet been built, and he can only rely on field battles to fight the Huns. But there is one thing that Zhang Jiashi is not worried about, that is, the Central Army under his command has no combat effectiveness that can be compared with the Northern Army in the heyday of the Great Qin Empire.

Especially in terms of infantry equipment and combat experience, the Central Army under Zhang Jiashi has a lot of improvements compared with the Central Army during the Emperor's period.

Although Zhang Jiashi was not afraid of the Huns adopting the tactics of raiding Xianyang, he did not want to see a situation appear, that is, the Huns went south, and it was very likely that Guanzhong, which had already recovered to a certain extent, would become a ruin again.

The Huns are nomadic people, Zhang Jiashi is not afraid that the other party will concentrate his forces to fight him, on the contrary, if he adopts sparrow tactics against the Huns, he will have a headache.

This is the trouble that Zhang Jiashi does not have a good way to deal with at the moment.

For Zhang Jiashi, the Huns, who were almost all soldiers, were not so terrible in fact, of course, this had to be based on the fact that there was not much difference between the overall combat effectiveness of the two sides in the cavalry troops.

If the Xiongnu really broke through the Great Wall defense system from the Hetao area, then the entire Guanzhong region, except for some cities, most of the area could be regarded as a place where the Huns came and went freely.

Therefore, blocking the Huns' battle plan to move south from the Hetao area is an effective way to avoid this situation as much as possible.

In order to achieve this, the refueling defense may not be effective, and adopting a counteroffensive posture against the Huns in the Hetao area may obtain unexpected results.

Zhang Jiashi had this plan, but he didn't tell anyone about his plan, because he knew very well that few people would support him in adopting such a rather crazy tactic.

There is no way to do this, because at present, although the Great Qin Empire is also considered to have a million soldiers, after apportioning the needs of the defense of the Kwantung region and even some borders, the mobile forces that can really be mobilized are basically concentrated in the north of the Yellow River or in key places such as Xianyang County.

Although the county soldiers in the eastern part of the country were barely able to cope with the war from the Huns, the combat effectiveness of these troops was still secondary, and Zhang Jiashi could not brave the situation of the smoke again at the moment, and a large number of garrisons in the Kwantung region were transferred to deal with the offensive of the Huns.

Even if Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's two henchmen are dead, God knows if the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are completely dead?

If he and the main force of the Great Qin Empire and the Huns are stumbling again, there will be heroes like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang again, Zhang Jiashi said that the Great Qin Empire really can't withstand such a toss.

Therefore, repelling the Huns in the most appropriate time and being able to give the Huns effective casualties will be the result that Zhang Jiashi and the soldiers and civilians of the Great Qin Empire should hope for this time.

As long as the Huns can be severely damaged again, then for a long time, if the Huns want to gather a large number of troops to the south again, they have to weigh whether they have the capital.

......

The Hetao area is certainly an area that Zhang Jiashi and the civil and military forces of the Great Qin Empire have to pay attention to, but there is an area that Zhang Jiashi also believes cannot be ignored.

This place is Jinbei County.

In a series of military operations to rescue the Donghu people in the previous year, the military strength of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, which was originally needed to be faced by Jinbei County, suffered great losses.

It is true that 1,000 enemies were killed and 800 were self-inflicted, but from the current situation of Liaoning County, as long as the Huns were not able to clean up the remnants of the Donghu people at once, or these remnants of the Donghu people suddenly changed their minds and threw themselves into the arms of the Huns, then for the war pressure faced by Liaoning County, it should be regarded as the smallest in the entire northern border county system.

And whether the Huns' Zuo Xian King will avenge the defeat of the army, and then directly send troops on a large scale again, Zhang Jiashi does not know, but even if he knows the plan of this Zuo Xian King, he will not have much idea. Because for Zhang Jiashi, the military pressure brought by the Huns in Yan County and Liaoning County depends on what kind of mind King Zuo Xian of the Huns has.

From a strategic point of view, if the Huns' Zuo Xian King can learn the lessons of the last fiasco, then the next Huns' Zuo Xian Wang's main attack direction is likely to be the current northern part of Yan County. (To be continued.) )
