readx;?? The 100,000 people of the Huns actually refer to the number of troops used by the Huns to fight, as for how many people the Huns dispatched, this number cannot give an accurate answer even if Wei Xiu, the county guard of Shangjun who led the team to come from Yulin County to reinforce. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Library] [].. [>

After all, once the Huns moved south on a large scale, they would inevitably be followed by a large number of tribal herdsmen, providing food and maintaining logistics for the adult men fighting on the front line.

Therefore, the strength of the Huns mentioned by Wei Xiu in his recital to Zhang Jiashi may be more reliable, but how many men and horses the other party dispatched, even if Wei Xiu, a newly promoted young handsome man in the Northern Xinjiang Army, cannot have an accurate evaluation.

Wei Xiu is the nephew of Wei Chong's elder brother, and he can also be regarded as the grandnephew of Wei Yi (that is, Wei Zhenzi).

Wei Xiu, who was born in a famous family, after his uncle and grandfather Wei Yi was used by Yingzheng, who was still the king of Qin at the time, his father and uncle followed Wei Wei to join the Qin State and became a member of the Qin army successively.

For nearly 20 years, Wei Xiu's father, Wei Hong, died of illness, while his uncle Wei Chong died in the battle of Donghu breaking through the Great Wall of Yuyang County a few years earlier.

Wei Xiu was still relatively young at the time, but Meng Tian took care of his friend's nephew, so he made him one of his personal soldiers.

After Meng Tian was captured by Jiao Zhao, Wei Zhong and some other soldiers had planned to rescue Meng Tian in the middle of the road, but this plan was finally interrupted due to some factors.

After that, Wei Xiu defected to Yang Wengzi, a fierce general under Meng Tian and one of the famous generals of Great Qin.

He was noncommittal about the relationship between his uncle, the current eldest princess of the Great Qin Empire, Ying Yueqin, and the regent Zhang Jiashi. Of course, it is true that Ying Yueqin is his uncle, but his uncle is dead, and even if his uncle really wants to remarry Zhang Jiashi, he feels that it is not impossible.

But he didn't want to be said that he relied on the relationship between Zhang Jiashi and Ying Yueqin to become a border county guard, and a border commander who held military power.

Therefore, it was recommended by Wang Li a year ago. After Zhang Jiashi interviewed in person and passed Zhang Jiashi's review, Wei Xiu, who was appointed as the county guard of Shangjun, hoped to prove to others with his own efforts that Zhang Jiashi's appointment and trust in him came from his own ability.

But for Wei Xiu, he could also feel the abilities of these Huns. Seems to be quite different in general.

Because the opponent has not acted on a large scale after several tentative attacks. Even on the front line, there were only a few Hun scouts conducting reconnaissance.

Faced with this situation, even Wei Xiu knew that the other party's coach must have some intentions.

Wei Xiu, who was holding the city wall with his hand, turned around and asked a lieutenant beside him, "When will the king's reinforcements arrive?"

"Report to the county guard, according to the messenger sent by the king, it is very likely that they will arrive in Yulin County in two days. ”

After hearing the words of this captain, Wei Xiu nodded slightly, he looked back at the Hun camp in the distance again, and muttered a word: "Hope before the king's reinforcements arrive." It's good that nothing will happen. ”

Wei Xiu was very clear about one thing, that is, the strength of their Shangjun was actually mixed with a lot of recruits.

There are many elite troops under Zhang Jiashi's command, but in addition to the Guanzhong area, the county troops in many other regions can only disperse one area, and then supplement it with a certain number of recruits to form a defensive force.

Such an arrangement. Wei Xiu knew that it did have a lot of impact on the combat capability of the troops in a region. And there is a cloud in the art of war: "Soldiers are not expensive." ”

But after Wei Xiu became the Taishou of Shangjun, he also understood one thing very well, that is, the Great Wall did need a large number of troops and personnel to defend it.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's emphasis on the foundation of agricultural development in the past two years, I am afraid that there are only some large-scale farming systems along the Great Wall, which would not be able to support the consumption of grain and straw along the Great Wall.

He knows. This time the Huns went south, not just to show off their might.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiu looked at the white clouds in the sky and said softly: "The king's concerns may be correct. ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The total strength of Zhang Jiashi's current command is about 350,000, and if you count some light auxiliary combat units, the number will reach 500,000.

This strength is for Zhang Jiashi. It's quite a heavy burden indeed. However, the current Zhang Jiashi, based on the agriculture of Liaodong County and the Korean region, has to feed mainly about 200,000 professional troops who are not engaged in production, and the problem is not too big.

In this case, Zhang Jiashi's 500,000 troops are actually not distressing to Zhang Jiashi.

Zhang Jiashi was distressed that 500,000 troops seemed to be quite a lot. But actually......

The troops allocated to some border counties are somewhat stretched.

Zhang Jiashi's troops along the Great Wall area appeared to be 178,000 people, but even if you count the other nearly 200,000 troops in the rear, the average military strength of a border county is more than 30,000 people.

This number seems like a lot, and the combat strength of more than 300,000 people maintained by Zhang Jiashi seems to be more than the Northern Frontier Army of the Great Qin Empire. But Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that these more than 300,000 people are more able to protect some important places and will not be directly destroyed before the arrival of reinforcements.

In the case of Wei Chong's Shangjun, the strength of Shangjun reached more than 60,000 people, but Zhang Jiashi himself knew one thing very well, that is, after this force was distributed to the Great Wall and dozens of cities in Shangjun, in fact, there were not many troops that could be transferred at will.

Otherwise, Wei Xiu would not have been able to bring more than 10,000 people gathered in Yulin County and several nearby counties to come to reinforcements.

Moreover, many of the counties and towns in Shangjun, including Yulin County, only maintained the most basic defense forces to maintain law and order in the city and the defense of the city.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Jiashi was now developing the Guanzhong region, and the other adjacent counties were under the control of his own people, Wei Xiu would not have been able to achieve this kind of troop mobilization.

It can be seen that the Great Wall can indeed be relatively effective so that the nomads cannot easily invade, but there is one thing that Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well, sufficient troops and equipment. It is the main condition for the Great Wall to play its greatest role.

......

Zhang Jiashi's strength can be said to be the strongest in the Central Plains now, but when the troops are relatively too scattered, Zhang Jiashi wants to mobilize a large number of troops to invest in a certain battlefield, such as the Kwantung battlefield, he must leave enough defensive forces in the border counties. Vice versa.

This is also the main reason why Zhang Jiashi's current ruling area must retain such a large number of troops.

Zhang Jiashi himself wants to disarm, and then let more young people put into production.

But Zhang Jiashi went to do such a thing. He didn't want to cause more people to die under the butcher's knife of the alien race because of his thoughts.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

At the same time that Wei Xiu was vigilant about the movements of the Huns, he was in Beidi County. Longxi County, as well as the periphery of the Great Wall of the three border counties of Jiuyuan County, a large number of Huns were mobilized.

Beidi County Shou Yingkang (the son of the late Neishi Yingteng), Gao Jian, the county guard of Longxi County, and Yang Wengzi, the county guard of Jiuyuan County, who knew such a thing, couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Jiashi's worries were not unreasonable.

Because if they moved their troops to support Shangjun, it was very likely that the remaining defensive forces would not be able to withstand the concentrated attack of these Huns.

Of course, there are some strange things in their hearts, that is, since these Huns can be mobilized on such a large scale, why don't they concentrate on attacking one area?

If their thoughts were known to Zhang Jiashi. I'm afraid that Zhang Jiashi will say something to them: "If you use the idea of the opposite man to measure Mao Dun's thinking, it is very wrong. ”

Zhang Jiashi knew how terrible Maudun was because it was Maudun that the Huns really realized the importance of farming in some areas.

It is difficult to correctly compare the advantages and disadvantages of nomadic herding compared to the agricultural system, but Zhang Jiashi knows one thing very well. That is, a single man who only knows how to graze is not terrible, but a Xiongnu hero who has lived in the Central Plains and rules the Central Plains is something he can't ignore.

However, these Huns did not launch an offensive against the Great Wall for a long time.

On the contrary, this made the officers and soldiers of Great Qin, including Yang Wengzi and others, puzzled.

......

At this time, Mao Dun received a report from some leaders of the Xiongnu tribes under his command from other directions. I couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because according to what he knew, after the Qin people were attacked in one place, they would mobilize the garrisons of neighboring counties to support. He really planned to let the other big tribes launch an offensive together after the other party's reinforcements were mobilized.

But judging from the news he received backwards in the past few days, the other party did not take the bait.

Mao Dun was very puzzled, that is, according to his understanding, his father, who had been killed by him, was defeated in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao more than ten years ago. It will make these Qin people take it lightly.

"It seems that there is no shortage of wise people on the other side. ”

Maudon muttered something like this.

And a young woman beside him gently stroked his chest: "Shan Yu, no matter how careful the Qin people are, they can't compare to Shan Yu's wise and divine martial arts." ”

Mao Dun shook his head slightly: "Beauty, you have won my heart, but I don't know that the Qin people obviously expected my arrangement this time." I think I did something wrong, and maybe launching a one-sided onslaught on the enemy in the first place was the best thing I should have done. ”

Maudon stood up gently, then grabbed a fur fur that hung from the edge of the bed and draped it over himself.

He paced back and forth in the tent, as if thinking about something, and after a while he said to the door, "Someone, invite Mr. Ma !!."

......

After I don't know how long it was, Mao Dun personally poured a mess of white mare's milk wine for a man in his fifties with a somewhat pale face.

The man looked at Mao Dun and shook his head: "Shan Yu, I don't know if you invited me here this time?"

"Hey, Mr. Ma, you are Maudun's life-saving benefactor, and you are also Maudun's teacher, so you don't have to say such polite words. Mao Dun showed a wry smile, and then made a gesture to the man known as Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma didn't say much, but gently picked up the clay bowl in front of him, and then drank the milky milk wine in it.

And Mao Dun only said at this time: "Teacher." You didn't object to sending troops this time, but you didn't give Mao Dun too much guidance, Mao Dun didn't understand, what does the teacher think of the other party's way of coping? According to Mao Dun's thoughts, the other party should mobilize a certain amount of troops to come over for reinforcements. “

"Why do you think that?"

Mr. Ma did not remain silent, but gently asked why Mao Dun thought like this.

After hearing Mr. Ma's words, Mao Dun couldn't help but be slightly stunned. After a while, he said: "I was thinking that the Qin people might think that we Xiongnu had experienced a fiasco in the past few years. There will not be enough troops to threaten other places for a while......"

"You're ignoring the fact that there are people on the other side who are well versed in the situation of the steppe peoples. Mr. Ma looked at Mao Dun and shook his head: "You also ignored the fiasco suffered by the Donghu people in the past few years. ”

When Mao Dun heard Mr. Ma's words, he didn't think that the other party was belittling him, but continued to ask very sincerely: "Please mention it, teacher." ”

Mr. Ma glanced at Mao Dun deeply, and said after a while: "Your idea is not wrong, but the other party, the man who should be named Zhang Jiashi, is not an ordinary person." ”

Mr. Ma was silent for a while, looking at Mao Dun. continued: "I don't know what you think should be compared to the emperor Yingzheng of the Qin people?"

"Although Mao Dun considers himself a hero, he is still inferior to Mao Dun's father, let alone the emperor. Morton was not an arrogant man, and as a man who had "died once", he knew what he had to do.

And Mr. Ma after hearing this. Nodding slightly, he continued to say to Mao Dun: "Since you think that you are not as good as Yingzheng, then since that Zhang Jiashi is highly valued by Yingzheng, and was able to defeat Donghu a few years ago, and even let Donghu still fall into civil strife...... This shows that the strength of the other party does have something that Yingzheng values. You didn't do anything wrong this time. But in your heart, you are still careless. ”

Mao Dun heard Mr. Ma's words, and his face couldn't help but blush slightly. He is indeed underestimated in this regard. Mr. Ma is not wrong about him.

Mr. Ma shook his head gently, he didn't continue to dwell on such a matter.

He smiled as if remembering something.

"Mr. Ma, what are you laughing at?" Maudun was not angry about this. Because even if Mr. Ma really laughed at him, he didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of in this matter.

Mr. Ma said softly: "Mao Dun, I think you may also see someone who will surprise you this time." The other party is really good!"

When Maudon heard Mr. Ma call his name for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of joy in his heart, because this was the person he respected and respected, and seemed to regard him as his own student.

He shook his head slightly, because he really didn't know what Mr. Ma meant when he said this.

Mr. Ma also knew that Mao Dun was indeed not proficient in this area, and he did not plan to "hide his secrets": "I think, Mao Dun, you should know that since the other party has not mobilized troops for reinforcements, what should the other party plan to do now?"

"Sit back and watch me lead a large army to break through the Great Wall and drive straight in?" said Maudun, an idea he didn't believe in himself. And Mr. Ma shook his head slightly: "Think about it again." ”

After a while, Mao Dun shook his head: "I can't figure it out......"

"Reinforcements from the other side may have arrived. Mr. Ma said this sentence that Maudon did not believe.

"Do you think you're confused?" Mr. Ma looked at Mao Dun and said undeniably.

Mao Dun nodded, because he also knew something about the current situation in the Central Plains.

Mr. Ma shook his head, and after saying a word, he stood up and turned to leave:

"You may be facing that Zhang Jiashi, maybe this is a very interesting meeting. ”

......

Mr. Ma returned to his tent and watched his Hun wife holding his three-year-old son, waiting for him to return.

Mr. Ma never thought that he would marry the Huns......

And he remembered his identity......

He is also Zhao Kuo's child, but unlike his brother Zhao Gao, who does not know each other's identities, he is Zhao Kuo's child who served in Daidi and stayed in Daidi.

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

Lin Xiangru: "The disciple can read his father's biography, but he doesn't know how to mutate." ”

Zhao Hao: "Soldiers, death, and easy to say." If Zhao does not bracket it, if it is necessary, the one who breaks the Zhao army will also bracket. ”

Zhao's mother: "The first concubine is her father, and her father is a general, and those who eat and drink are counted in tens, and those who are friends are counted in hundreds; those who are rewarded by the king and the clan are given to the military officials, and on the day of the order, they do not ask about family affairs; Father and son have different aspirations, may the king not be sent. ”

Sima Qian's "Historical Records": "Zhao Kuo learned the art of war since he was a child, and he couldn't talk about military affairs in the world. ”

Xu Jun: "Young and young people like to talk about soldiers, although my father has not mastered his skills. Who can escape from the mother material in a defeat, pity 400,000 people. ”

These are the evaluations that Zhao Kuo was called, but in the heart of Mr. Ma, who is impossible to know these evaluations, his father, who has no impression of himself, is a hero who stands up to the sky.

No one knows that in addition to being Zhao Kuo's son, his identity is also the son of Li Mu's sister.

After his father's death, his mother, Zhao Li, had to think about his safety and took him out of Zhao and followed a smuggling caravan into the Xiongnu tribe......

And what he would not have imagined was that after being a small Herdsman of the Huns for decades, he would save Mao Dun, who was seriously injured by shooting at that time, in an accident a few years ago......
