Although it is said that he has planned to officially fight with the Huns, in many ways, Zhang Jiashi and the Great Qin Empire led by him are not just fighting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the very least, most of the Qin officers and soldiers in northern Xinjiang who basically did not plan to take the initiative to attack, they were mainly prepared for attacks or large-scale attacks from the Huns.

If the Huns launched a small-scale attack, it would certainly be possible for the other side to succeed, but on the whole, the officers and soldiers stationed at the border were not really worried about the small-scale Huns, but the main force of the Huns, who concentrated most of their forces.

For example, in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, Meng Tian did not expect that he would achieve such a brilliant result, because the gap between the forces between the two sides was too large. If it weren't for the fact that Touman might have made two mistakes like the King of Xiqiang at that time, I am afraid that Meng Tian would have had to lead his army back to the Great Wall after several small victories because of the constant harassment of the Huns.

Now there are few people who know what kind of idea Touman had at that time and ordered his troops to launch a continuous charge against the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Meng Tian, because this is basically to directly give up the strengths of the Huns, but to use their huge disadvantages in equipment to launch an attack on the Qin army, with a short attack and a long one, and in the end the result is very bitter.

With Ma Sikuo's summary of the situation in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, if it weren't for Touman's fiasco in this battle, I'm afraid that Mao Dun wants to take this opportunity to win over some people's hearts, and I'm afraid that if Touman wants to kill Mao Dun, it will be a very simple thing.

And because of the fiasco in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, Touman lost his great Shan Yu as the first to be called the real leader of the Xiongnu, and Mao Dun, who was still stunned at the time, even if he absorbed some of the advice given to him by Ma Sikuo, maybe he would be killed by Touman because of the huge gap in strength.

This is also one of the most important reasons why Ma Sikuo was not optimistic about Mao Dun at the beginning.

And the current situation is very similar to the battle of Yinshan in Hetao, if the Huns concentrate a large number of troops to attack the defense system of the Qin army in a region, it will be difficult for the Qin officers and soldiers in this area to hold on to a large number of reinforcements.

That is to say. As long as Mao Dun does not make two mistakes like Touman, I am afraid that this tactic will become a major test for the border defenders and Zhang Jiashi.

......

What people including Zhang Jiashi didn't know was that about a month later, the head of the Xiongnu envoy was ordered by Mao Dun to be hung on the side of the passage directly south of Dragon City.

Mao Dun knew that the Great Qin Empire actually planned to tear his face with him and fight to the death, but he was very angry and let his cronies kill this envoy. Hang the head south of Dragon City.

The result brought by this envoy completely exceeded the bottom line that Maudun could accept.

He wasn't afraid of a war with the Great Qin Empire. But he himself knows very well that the current Great Qin Empire is also not so easy to mess with. It is true that he does have enough ability and strength to make Zhang Jiashi pay a heavy price in this war, but it does not mean that Mao Dun thinks that now is a good time to start a full-scale war with the Great Qin Empire.

The news of the Great Qin Empire's pacification of internal chaos, Mao Dun did also know a thing or two from the corresponding news obtained by some merchants or meticulous works. A Great Qin Empire that has completed the unification again, although the national strength is relatively weak, but he does not think that Zhang Jiashi, who is more stable in his eyes, will take the initiative to attack, and he is not afraid of Zhang Jiashi ordering the army to take the initiative to attack, because this tactic is just to increase the wolves on the grassland to increase a lot of food from the south.

Maybe Zhang Jiashi did have the intention of attacking the Xiongnu. But he didn't think that Zhang Jiashi would rush into action, because this kind of thing is not a passing leader's decision.

Zhang Jiashi should not be blind to the advantages and disadvantages between the two sides, and he also knows one thing, that is, the Xiongnu are also not ready to take the initiative to attack the Great Qin Empire.

Along the Great Wall of the Great Qin Empire, although it was a waste of money and labor, this Great Wall defense line did play its role.

If it weren't for this line of defense of the Great Wall, which had existed for hundreds of years. At that time, the Xiongnu tribes, which were still scattered, had already extended their horse farms to the south for a long distance.

Such a situation is more due to the foresight of the monarchs of the Central Plains hundreds of years ago, or this conclusion they came to in desperation.

This defensive line effectively blocked the southward route of the Xiongnu, Donghu and Qiang, but it is undeniable. The pros and cons of this defense system are obvious.

This defense system restricts a large part of the manpower, material and financial resources of the Central Plains countries, which is one of the biggest drawbacks of this defense system. And this defense system is not so perfect strictly speaking, because in the past few hundred years, this defense system has been broken by the Xiongnu or Donghu and Qiang people many times.

Although these successes will soon have to be retreated due to the concentration of forces in the Central Plains, this also proves that this defense system should have more drawbacks.

It's not that he doesn't know what Zhang Jiashi seems to be doing. But he doesn't think that Zhang Jiashi will show his "hole cards" right now.

It's not that Mao Dun didn't want to make a preemptive strike, but for the current Huns, last year's cold weather that lasted for a long time really made the Huns hurt their muscles and bones.

Moreover, the attack of the king of Xiqiang disrupted his plan, because he really planned to invade the area of the Great Qin Empire in Daijun in March or April of this year, after the preparation was completed, plunder the population, and recover his vitality.

However, although the king of Xiqiang was defeated and killed in the subsequent war, the power of the Huns in the Hexi Corridor was almost wiped out by the Qiang people who attacked, and only a very small part of the tribe saw that the situation was not good, and directly migrated to the desert in the north, and escaped.

In this way, although the Xiongnu now do control the sphere of influence of the Hexi Corridor in their own hands again, compared with the situation of the previous year, this place is no longer an area that can help the Xiongnu to a certain extent.

Under the influence of such a result, the power in the hands of Mao Dun was also lost a lot because of the great war with the Qiang people, after all, the Huns had to pay a great price to eliminate or expel the Qiang people in some places with mountainous areas.

After capturing the Hexi Corridor again, Maudun knew that he had paid nearly 60,000 people in this counterattack.

Although it is said that nearly 100,000 Qiang people were captured, these Qiang people really could not regard them as the strength of the Xiongnu in a short period of time.

Therefore, in such a year's time, Mao Dun really had no intention of having a war with the Great Qin Empire.

This is also a bottom line he gave to that envoy at the beginning. That is, while blackmailing the Great Qin Empire, he should not bring the Great Qin Empire into a war environment with the Huns.

And after the other party gave him such a result, the angry Mao Dun naturally would not be stingy with his cruelty to such a henchman.

And now Mao Dun, although he thinks that the Great Qin Empire will not take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, but the current situation seems to be too calm.

This is not in line with the interests of the Great Qin Empire after it chose to declare war.

After all, there are many costs to be paid for keeping a country in a state of war, and this peaceful environment. It was indeed that Mao Dun did not understand what the Great Qin Empire led by Zhang Jiashi had planned.

In Mao Dun's heart, there are three main areas where the Great Qin Empire is likely to send troops.

One was to rob the Hexi Corridor area, where the Xiongnu had an unstable foundation. One was to concentrate troops to attack Henan, and the last was to echo the battle situation of the Donghu people, sending troops to the occupied area of the Donghu people north of Yuyang County.

Among these three regions, whether the Hexi Corridor has any exact benefits for the Great Qin Empire, Mao Dun does not know, but this place, as a weak link due to the influence of the Huns, even if there are not enough benefits, does not prevent Zhang Jiashi from planning to pinch the persimmons softly, and once again let the Huns lose control of this place and lose a certain amount of strength.

This is one case. Mao Dun thinks that Zhang Jiashi will not plan to do this at the same time, which is really a question.

Another area, the last time Meng Tian sent troops to defeat his father, who had already been killed, and captured Henan. This place will become the target of the Great Qin Empire, mainly because the area of Henan is in the semi-encirclement of the Great Qin Empire, if Zhang Jiashi concentrates the corresponding forces to attack. Although it will also end up losing both sides in the big war with the Huns, but in terms of the difficulty of sending troops, this area has a relative advantage over Henan.

Such a result may also be in the interests of Zhang Jiashi. However, Maudun believed that Zhang Jiashi was the least likely to take out the troop area. It's Henan.

Because Henan is easy to attack and difficult to defend, although when the Great Qin Empire did not fall into large-scale civil strife, the Huns, who were greatly injured by the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, did not launch a large-scale offensive again, but it is undeniable that this place wants to build a corresponding defense system, which will contain a considerable part of the energy and resources of the Great Qin Empire.

And Mao Dun has a feeling, that is, Zhang Jiashi is not willing to waste the resources he can mobilize in this place.

If Zhang Jiashi knew how Mao Dun felt in this regard. Maybe he will give the other party a thumbs up, because he really has no intention of listing Henan as a preliminary target. Because although Henan is very important, and as a natural horse farm, the Great Qin Empire has an irresistible interest demand for Henan.

But in many ways, the current Great Qin Empire is in ruins, although it is not impossible to carry out large-scale corresponding development in Henan, but compared to the Central Plains, this place is very unsafe, if Zhang Jiashi really intends to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to build a region in such a situation, the Jianghan Plain is still the most suitable place.

As for the last target that Mao Dun believed that Zhang Jiashi's troops, that is, the grassland that originally belonged to the Donghu people and was located north of Dai County and Yuyang County, it was the area where Mao Dun was most likely to attack.

This place is not a good place for fighting for the military strength of the Great Qin Empire, but this place is relatively close to the border of the Great Qin Empire, and the movement of materials and troops can be guaranteed accordingly. If this place was not very suitable for warfare, Zhang Jiashi would have taken this area and a large area bordering the Sushen people to the east long ago, before the war between the Xiongnu and Donghu.

But Mao Dun had a strange feeling that Zhang Jiashi had no intention of moving his sphere of influence too far away from the Great Wall.

Although he also knew that some of the areas north of the Great Wall were built with some cultivated and grazing areas based on small fortresses and the Great Wall as the core, on the whole, these areas were not too far from the Great Wall, and the farthest was about four or five kilometers away from the Great Wall on the plains.

This kind of encroachment on land made Mao Dun very speechless, because in such a small place, not to mention them Xiongnu, even the Donghu people may not be able to look down on them.

Moreover, this area is very close to the Great Wall of the Great Qin Empire, and once a large-scale enemy army really appears, the corresponding personnel of these small fortresses will often abandon the area they have developed and built.

It's like the legendary Li Mu's actions as a commander on the edge of the Great Wall.

It can be said that this approach is certainly relatively in line with the action model of the Great Qin Empire, but if it is really more serious, these places really can't make him feel much interest.

Although there are many of these small fortresses, if they are distributed along the Great Wall, there is often not a single small fortress with more than 500 people for a long distance.

This is like if you are fighting against the Great Qin Empire, these small fortresses will often use large armies to attack, and the overall gains outweigh the losses, and the split forces attack will have to face the blows of a large number of Qin troops who are likely to attack.

It can be said that if Mao Dun knew the allusion of chicken ribs, he might also think that such a situation is very in line with the description of chicken ribs.

Therefore, although Zhang Jiashi is very likely to attack this area out of strategic circumstances, cut off the southern route between the eastern region of the Xiongnu and the western region. But Mao Dun knew that there were many capable people in the Great Qin Empire, especially Ma Sikuo, who made him in awe, was also officially appointed as the county guard of Longxi County, and it was conceivable that the Great Qin Empire would not be unaware that they did not have many actual benefits in doing so, and they could not complete the strategic needs that might need to be achieved.

Because even if the attacking Qin army forces cut off the connection with the southern front area, but the Great Qin Empire wants to completely cut off the connection between the eastern and western Xiongnu, but it must go deep into the desert and be able to defeat hundreds of thousands or even more Xiongnu sons to achieve this plan.

Obviously, as long as Zhang Jiashi's head was not stupid, then he would never do such a thankless and stupid thing to send to death.

After thinking of the situation in this aspect, Mao Dun could only quietly wait for the reaction of the Great Qin Empire before making his next deployment.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Mao Dun thought a lot, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the Great Qin Empire would directly send troops to aid his former mortal enemy.

Of course, Mao Dun is also very clear about the situation of a large number of military supplies from the Great Qin Empire entering the area controlled by the Donghu people, but the direct support of the Great Qin Empire is to let Mao Dun, who knows this information, directly slide the information on the ground in front of him......
