Chapter 151: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (2)
Taiyi Zhenren narrowed his eyes and seemed to fall into the memory of his past memories: "Before Lao Dao was seventy-one years old, he had been traveling all over the world, but no one had ever known that Lao Dao still had a good kung fu. ”
His eyes suddenly opened, and a ray of fine light burst out: "However, that year, Lao Dao went to the northern frontier, just as the Huns were riding south. When they see people, they kill people, and they rob things when they see them, like locusts that cross the border, and where they pass through there are no chickens and dogs. I couldn't bear it anymore, and finally made an exception for that group of barbarians and opened the killing ring. ”
Jiang Kongming said coldly: "What you said is too simple, although the world doesn't know, but Jiang is extremely sensitive to numbers, so he deliberately investigated it." ”
Subsequently, he reported a series of shocking data one after another: "The six counties in the north have more than 100,000 households and hundreds of thousands of people. However, after the war, ten rooms and nine were empty, and there was not one survivor in ten. Forty years ago, there were less than 30,000 people left in the six northern counties, most of whom were still old, weak, women and children, and few were young and middle-aged. ”
Xu Haifeng only felt a shudder, although he knew about the tragic invasion of the six counties. But the situation is so miserable, it is really unheard of, I am afraid that even Fang Yingying knows the ominous, he asked: "The Huns are so thirsty for killing?" Why don't we know it? ”
Taiyi Zhenren had a bitter face, where was there still half a smile, and sighed: "It's not because of face, for the sake of the Liu family's face, they don't even allow it to be recorded in the history books, only we wait for word of mouth, and I dare not forget it." ”
Jiang Kongming shook his feather fan and said: "At that time, the Hun Iron Cavalry defeated the Blue Wolf Legion, defeated the Red Ocean, and attacked the six counties. As a result, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the Sky Eagle Legion and the Yellow Dragon Legion were urgently dispatched north to meet the enemy. It is supplemented by private soldiers raised by major families, as well as reserve armies drawn from all over the country. A total of nearly a million regular troops, reservists and servants were mobilized, and a steady stream of people tactics were used to block the Huns in several dangerous passes, and finally dragged it out until winter. ”
Xu Haifeng nodded slightly, he naturally knew that fighting in the north, once it entered winter and the weather was very cold, it would be impossible to carry out a large-scale war.
The Huns, in particular, were all cavalry, and some of the warriors had horses that were not worth a single horse.
Most of the horses fodder was sourced from local sources, but in the dead of winter, when the grass was yellow, more than 20,000 men gathered together, and there was no way to find enough food for their mounts.
In winter, no matter how much advantage the Huns obtained, they had to retreat.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then didn't the six counties fall into the hands of the Huns?" How did you get back? ”
Taiyi Zhenren smiled proudly and said, "Of course they snatched it back, will they still spit out the food they fell into their mouths?" ”
Jiang Kongming sighed and said: "Once it is winter, most of the Huns will return to the tribe, and the troops left behind in the six counties will finally abandon the city and return under the attack of the Han army and civilians. However, in order to recapture the six counties, the losses of the Han court were also unprecedented. ”
Jiang Kongming had a calm face and said: "With the strength of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the four major armies, it lasted the whole winter, and the treasury that had been accumulated for a hundred years was empty, and in the end, nearly half of the men and horses were lost before the six counties were recaptured. In this battle, the only remaining elder of the Fang family was also martyred.
Taiyi Zhenren sighed and said: "It is precisely because of this change that Lao Dao has frequently entered the WTO in the past forty years, and I want to seek a way to do it once and for all, so that the Han Dynasty will no longer suffer from foreign aggression." It's just that this matter is not easy to say, and there is still no clue. ”
Xu Haifeng turned his head to look at Jiang Kongming, both he and Taiyi Zhenren felt that Jiang Kongming had a feeling of discrimination and hatred towards the Huns, which was sincere, and there was nothing against his will.
is to have no doubt about what he just said about fulfilling his wish for Taiyi Zhenren, but if he wants to complete this incredible task, even if he Jiang Kongming is not necessarily able to get nine out of ten.
Jiang Kongming immediately saw the inquiring look in Xu Haifeng's eyes, and he smiled slightly: "If it is on the prairie, then no matter how strong our Han nationality is, it cannot be eradicated." Even if they are temporarily expelled, after a few decades, as long as the power of the Han Dynasty weakens slightly, they will still make a comeback. ”
Taiyi Zhenren nodded slowly and agreed: "The Huns were born and grew up in Si, the prairie is like their home, and it is indeed not something that any country can do to eliminate them there." ”
Xu Haifeng's eyes lit up, and he said: "Lead the snake out of the hole, is the other snake the Huns?" ”
Jiang Kongming laughed and said: "If the lord still can't guess it, I, Jiang, will be blind." ”
Taiyi Zhenren and Xu Haifeng looked at each other, the two were silent for a while, Xu Haifeng still shook his head and said, "This matter is still inappropriate." ”
Jiang Kongming showed a hint of a smile, with an expression that he had already expected, and he asked with a smile: "Is the lord worried that this time the Huns will repeat their old tricks and cause a massacre again?" ”
"Yes, don't you often teach your lord, how easy and quick is it to destroy than to build? If the Huns are allowed to wreak havoc in our Han territory, I am afraid that even if we can recover the lost territory, it will be full of holes, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Xu Haifeng said.
Jiang Kongming sneered and said, "If Mao Dun's ambition is just to rob, then the student will not make up his mind to open the door to donate and steal." He turned his head and asked Taiyi Zhenren, who was staring on the sidelines: "May I ask the real person, what is the ambition of Mao Dun?" ”
Taiyi Zhenren groaned slightly, and said: "His ambitions are quite ambitious, this is something that everyone knows, so what?" ”
Jiang Kongming stood up and said amazingly: "In fact, in the first battle forty years ago, the Huns did not have no chance to win. ”
Xu Haifeng and the others naturally knew that he would not speak falsely, and when they looked at each other, Xu Haifeng said: "Master Strategist, the four major families of my Han Dynasty worked together back then, which is very different from the appearance of today. ”
What he meant was that as long as the Han people worked together and there were no internal thieves, they would not be afraid of the Xiongnu.
Jiang Kongming said with a smile: "The lord's words are wrong, as long as there are people, there will be disputes, and if you want to work with one heart and one mind, it is absolutely impossible." Freezing three feet is not a cold, these major families have been juxtaposed for hundreds of years, prosperous but not declining, and they are already an outlier. ”
He walked to the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it in one gulp, moistened his dry throat, and said: "In fact, before that battle, the Huns did not expect to achieve such great results. They were ill-prepared, and like Pingyueli, they only knew how to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil, and they formed an indissoluble enmity with the people in the six counties, and they couldn't gain a foothold there. If not......"
A sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "If the Huns can treat the people well, they may not be able to take root here." The first emperor was not grateful to his subjects, but to the leading commanders of the Huns. ”
Xu Haifeng was speechless for a while, and glanced at Taiyi Zhenren, and the two of them at the same time burst out of an irrepressible cold breath from the bottom of their hearts.
Greedy for life and afraid of death, people's natural surname.
If they are really facing a life-and-death situation, how many people will choose to be generous and righteous instead of stealing their lives, they don't know this answer, and they don't want to know.
If it is a corrupt Confucian scholar who has studied the books of sages and sages, he will definitely rebuke Jiang Kongming's words, or further criticize and write in order to commend his righteousness and unyieldingness.
However, Xu Haifeng and Taiyi Zhenren, one is personally experienced, and the other is well-informed, but they know that Jiang Kongming's words are reasonable, and there is no exaggeration.
Taiyi Zhenren suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Jiang Kongming, and couldn't help but be shocked at his advanced age of more than one hundred and ten years old: "Could it be that you said this to Hami Thorn?" ”
Jiang Kongming drank all the tea in his hand, then threw away the wine glass, clanged, and smashed into powder: "If it weren't for that, would you always think that Hami Thorn would escort five thousand warlike horses thousands of miles away to meet me with one of my letters?" I, Jiang, don't have that much face. ”
Taiyi Zhenren's expression was gloomy, and he said: "The Xiongnu are famous for their brutality, and our Han soldiers and civilians have suffered greatly, and we know that only by fighting with all our strength can we have a chance to survive." Even so, for hundreds of years, it was more defended and less attacked. Now, if the Huns know how to combine rigidity and softness, then my Han is in danger. ”
Although Xu Haifeng didn't speak, there was also a bit of reproach in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Kongming.
Jiang Kongming took in their expressions and smiled disdainfully: "Even if the students are silent, may I ask the two of you, is there really no strange people on the prairie?" If a student dares to vouch for his surname, it will not be more than a hundred years at the latest, and this truth will also be understood by foreigners, and the student just advances this time a little earlier. ”
After all, Xu Haifeng has been with him for a long time, and knows that in his mind, he has a blind love for the Han nation that can be called obsessive, and he will not do things that endanger the Han nation for no reason, so he asked: "I don't know what the purpose of this move is. ”
Jiang Kongming said with a smile: "Although the Huns know this truth, if they want to fully implement it and achieve results, it will take at least decades of unremitting efforts. However, how can students be given this time here? ”
The divine light in Taiyi Zhenren's eyes soared, as if it was substance, and he asked: "You are so sure that you can win the Hun Iron Cavalry?" ”
Jiang Kongming smiled disdainfully and replied, "If they shrink into the grassland, the students will inevitably have to do something." But if they enter the territory of our Han Dynasty, the students will have their own clever plan, so that they will not return. ”
Taiyi Zhenren's eyes showed a look of struggle, and he sighed: "I'm afraid that in this way, the people of my Han will suffer." ”
Jiang Kongming said coldly: "How can there be no dead in war, and you can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf." Once the Liu clan is executed, the students promise to use all their elite soldiers to destroy the Huns first, and never give up until they are wiped out. ”
Taiyi Zhenren looked at him for a while, and said: "Okay, if you can really fulfill this promise, then Lao Dao will give up this remnant body and serve you for your life." ”
Xu Haifeng was overjoyed, but there was still a trace of worry in his heart, and asked, "Then ...... the Liu family?"
Taiyi Zhenren closed his eyes and said, "Liu, they have today's disaster, and they are also to blame." What's more, hundreds of years ago, how could there ever be a Liu family, in the heart of the old Tao, there was only the Han family, and there was no Liu family. ”
