Zhang Bin was a little embarrassed when he saw so many eyes looking at him, and his face flushed slightly. Now it was different from when he reported on the war situation just now, just now he was making a routine report, he was reading the manuscript that had been written a long time ago, he could look at the manuscript paper with his head down, and not look at others, and most of the people who listened to him did not look at him, but just listened with their ears casually.

It's different now, he didn't think about what he said now, and it was impossible to pre-draft, he was completely playing on the spot. Moreover, because of the importance of the matter, the attention of almost everyone present was focused on him, and dozens of eyes were staring at him in unison, making him so nervous that his forehead was already a little sweaty.

What Zhang Bao said just now~ Pounding Huanglong is actually just angry talk, and the Huanglong he said does not refer to Danhan Mountain, where the Xianbei Royal Court is located, but to the main force of the Xianbei army. He didn't expect this little staff officer to really propose to attack Danhan Mountain, was he ignorant or bold?

Zhang Bao said: "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Zhang Bin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, reached out again to wipe the sweat on his forehead, forcibly stabilized his mind, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "If the general wants to find the nest of the Xianbei people, isn't the location of the Xianbei Royal Court the best target?" As we all know, Tanshi Huai set up the royal court in Danhan Mountain.

And Budugen is the grandson of Tanshi Huai, and his Xianbei people's nest is in Danhan Mountain. In this way, we only need to go straight to Danhan Mountain, and we will no longer have to fear that we will not be able to find the enemy's main force, nor will we have to fear that the enemy will flee for fear of the arrival of our army. ”

Zhang Bin's sentence contains the following information: The Xianbei Royal Court in Danhan Mountain is a famous place, of course, not a famous scenic spot, but a famous "city", equivalent to the capital of the root of Xianbei Budu. The city was built in a fixed location and could not be moved at any time like the average steppe tribe.

Since it is a famous place, it also means that there will be many people who will know the way to that place, which means that it is easy to find a guide to lead the way to that place. If the first division is targeting this place, there is no need to worry about getting lost, and there is no need to worry about not being able to find a place.

Zhang Bin's words also have an implicit meaning: Danhan Mountain is the royal court of the Xianbei people, and for the Xianbei people, it has a special meaning, and it is impossible for them to allow outsiders to desecrate this sacred place. If the Han people really captured this place, it would be a serious violation of the dignity and honor of the Xianbei people.

The royal court of Danhan Mountain is now a "city", although the scale of this city is not large, and there are not many buildings, many people are still used to living in tents, but after all, there are many fixed buildings inside.

And all the fixed buildings are important places, such as royal palaces, altars, temples, etc. These things are not something that can be discarded. This place is no longer a tribal gathering place with only a few tents, that is to say, the Xianbei Royal Court is not a place where you can move casually if you want to.

It can be expected that the Xianbei people will do everything possible to prevent the first division from approaching Danhan Mountain, and will definitely try their best to eliminate the Han troops before they reach the royal court. As long as the 1st Division goes to Danhan Mountain, the entire battle situation will change offensive and defensive positions, and the original aggressors will become defenders, and the original defenders will become invaders. At that time, the Xianbei people will definitely use their main force and be forced to fight a decisive battle with the first division.

This strategy is indeed very good, and from the perspective of the art of war, it is called attacking the enemy's place and saving it. Since we can't find the enemy's main force for a decisive battle, then attack a place where the enemy must be rescued, and force the enemy's main force to take the initiative to come to us for a decisive battle.

Some shrewd people at the scene had already thought of the implicit meaning of Zhang Bin's words, but some people who didn't think so much didn't know that there was so much information behind his words, so someone asked him "why".

So, Zhang Bin patiently explained it again, so that everyone knew the benefits of choosing Danhan Mountain as the target of attack. However, although this one is good, it has a fatal flaw. Some people did not see this shortcoming, but the generals who were familiar with geography knew it well, Zhang Bao, as the supreme commander of the first division, was certainly not a straw bag, and he saw this fatal flaw at a glance.

Zhang Bao asked: "Staff Officer Zhang, your strategy is good, but do you know how far Danhan Mountain is from Jinyang?" ”

Zhang Bin arched his hand and said: "General, I looked at the map just now, and it is estimated that it is thousands of miles. "The military map of the Hong Army is not an old-fashioned map, but a new-style map with a scale introduced. Although the surveying and mapping methods of this era were very backward, the general direction and distance can still be displayed.

Since the establishment of the "CIA," one of its tasks has been to collect geographic information from various localities and assist relevant departments in producing maps of various localities. Liu Hou passed on some knowledge related to maps in later generations through Zuo Ci, and now the military map of the Shu army is undoubtedly the most advanced among the three countries, although there is no such powerful thing as latitude and longitude, but the function of measuring the distance in proportion is still there.

"Hum" Hearing Zhang Bin's words, the generals in the big tent talked about it, and the whole big tent sounded like a buzzing sound when a swarm of flies flew.

"Since you know that there are thousands of miles away, you still propose such a plan? Did you know that a long march on the steppe is dangerous? The grassland is vast and boundless, and once we enter the grassland, we have no location to rely on, and we cannot find cover, and it is possible that the enemy will attack in all directions.

It's a tough place for us to defend in this environment. Moreover, the enemy is cavalry, who come and go like the wind, and who are familiar with the environment of the steppe, and they are likely to attack at night, and then calmly depart when we find out.

If they attack and harass us like this day and night, our army will soon be exhausted, and even if they can go to Danhan Mountain, they may not have the energy to attack other people's royal courts. Zhang Bao said.

"General, in fact, marching on the steppe is not necessarily impossible. A few years ago, His Majesty had already given some advice on marching and fighting on the steppe, and a research group had been set up at the Military Research Institute to study and solve these problems. There are some mature solutions, but whether they are feasible or not has not been tested in practice. Zhang Bin said.

"Oh? It turns out that His Majesty has long been preparing to send troops to the grassland, and it seems that the battle still has to be fought. Zhang Bao said excitedly. The Hong army is equipped with firearms that are ahead of the times, and the troops of Wei and Wu are about to collapse at the touch of a button, and now the Hong army feels that it is very boring to fight with these two ~ armies.

It can be expected that the Shu army swept through Wei and Wu and completed the unification of the world for not too long. This is a good thing for the people of the world, and it is a commendable event for Wenchen, but for the generals, this means that they will release Nanshan and return to the field.

To put it bluntly, that means that they are going to be "laid off". Although they are not really laid off, the imperial court will inevitably retain a lot of troops, and they can continue to serve in the army, but what is the difference between them who have not fought and those who have been laid off?
