Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao.

The huge war machine movement of the Great Chu Empire, Guanzhong, Longxi, Hedong, Fangzhong, Bashu, Hebei, etc., in many areas in the north, have entered the mobilization.

An army of 300,000 was called up and gathered near Xianyang as a front-line force to participate in the battle; In addition, there are 500,000 soldiers converging in various places, and as a second-line unit, they must make up for the lack of troops in the first-line troops, and at the same time escort grain and grass, and be responsible for logistical support.

At the same time, Xiang Yu summoned all the princes and sent troops together.

If there is any delay, or if you do not work hard, you will be killed.

Two years ago, because of the ineffective dispatch of troops, Yingbu was directly delayed, and was directly deprived of the throne and turned into a liege. Later, Yingbu raised troops, but before Xiang Yu sent troops to quell the rebellion, the news came that Yingbu was killed by his generals.

After this case, many princes sent troops, very quickly.

"Your Majesty, the fifteenth vassal king, and more than a hundred liehous, about 400,000 troops, all gathered here...... You can plough the court and sweep the caves and destroy the Huns! ”

Han Xin said domineeringly.

Xiang Yu nodded silently, this guard in the past has gradually become a famous general!

"Open the map!"

Xiang Yu said, and immediately a guard stepped forward and opened the huge map,

On this map, there is a clear depiction, there are the Hetao area, the Hexi Corridor, Chang'an City, and other areas, etc., with a length of three meters and a width of one meter.

Not a product of this era, but a satellite map brought from modern society.

The accuracy is far beyond the current map.

"What a wonderful map!"

Han Xin was surprised.

The right time and place are the right people, and the right place is the map, and only with an accurate map can we fight...... However, due to the lag in surveying and mapping, many people fought wars, and without maps, they all relied on Mongolia.

"The grassland peoples are mainly nomadic, and under the nomadic herding, the population is sparse. Under the nomadic herding, it is destined to move constantly, and in spring and autumn it is necessary to find a fertile land for water and grass; In winter, it is necessary to look for mountainous areas to resist the severe cold and prevent the cattle and sheep from freezing to death......"

Xiang Yu opened his mouth and said: "In the huge north, the water and grass are fertile, suitable for grazing, and it is suitable for winter, and the area to protect cattle and sheep from freezing to death is actually very limited. ”

"One is the Hetao area, there are twists and turns of the Yellow River in the north, the water and grass are fertile, the soil is fertile, and there are Yin Mountains to shelter the cold in the north, which is suitable for cattle and sheep to spend the winter!"

"One is the Hexi Corridor, a narrow corridor with snow melting, fertile water and grass, and mountains in the north blocking the cold wind in the north!"

"One is the Western Regions, with three mountains and two basins, and the Ili River Valley, which is fertile and fertile with lost water and grass, and can also resist the severe cold in the north!"

"These three places are all strategic places, and if they are occupied by the Xiongnu, it will be a big trouble for Dachu. Fortunately, the Xiongnu only occupied the Hetao area......"

Xiang Yu said.

"If there is the Great Wall Corps of the Qin State, the Xiongnu's Maodun will never have a chance. However, with the fall of the Qin Dynasty, a large number of Great Wall Corps were evacuated, which led to the loss of the Hetao area, and the Xiongnu occupied the Hetao area, and were already infiltrating the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions......"

Is Mao Dun really better than the other leaders of the Huns?

Not necessarily!

Just lucky.

Every time in the Central Plains, the moment of changing the dynasty is the weakest moment in China, the moment when the grassland power rises, and the moment when the frontier territory falls.

The so-called Xiongnu, Turkic, Jurchen, Yuan Dynasty, and Manchu Qing Dynasty all rose at the moment of the change of dynasty in the Central Plains.

In later generations, why Li Er was considered to be the first among many Chinese emperors. It is not because, in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when the national power was at its lowest, it defeated the Turks.

Similarly, why Zhu Yuanzhang is considered to be the second among the emperors of all dynasties is not because the first regime that succeeded in the Northern Expedition successfully drove out the Yuan Dynasty and Mongolia and recovered the north.

As for the other emperors, they did not regain the lost lands...... It's the biggest mistake.

In ancient times, to evaluate whether an emperor was excellent or not, we did not look at GDP or character, but whether we could expand the territory.

The Song Dynasty had a developed economy and was good for literati, but the name of a weak Song Dynasty immediately belonged to the bottom among many dynasties.

Later generations said that when it comes to the revival of China, it is also restored to the Han and Tang dynasties, not the Ming and Qing dynasties, not the two Song dynasties...... To evaluate whether a dynasty is good or not, it depends on the comparison with the Han and Tang dynasties.

Historically, the recognized emperors of the ages are Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Kangxi.

Liu Bang, why he didn't evaluate the first emperor of the ages, is because he lost the Hetao area and the Hexi Corridor.

Zhu Yuanzhang did a good job, but he lost the Hetao area and threw it to the Western Regions, and he was not evaluated.

The Song Dynasty was rated as not a unified dynasty.

"This battle is divided into two routes, one is that I lead the generals, leading 200,000 troops to recover the Hetao area; One route is Han Xin, who is the general, leading 150,000 to recover the Hexi Corridor! ”

"As long as the Hetao area is recovered, it is a door for Guanzhong; The Hexi Corridor was regained, and another door was reinforced. Losing these two regions, the Xiongnu also completely declined, and lost the capital to compete with my Great Chu! ”

"As for the Hebei region, the Guanzhong region, the Yanzhao region was mainly defended in the past, preventing the enemy from attacking the east and the west, and encircling Wei to save Zhao ......"

"The Hun army has average combat effectiveness...... The only thing to fear is that the cavalry of the Huns, all the people are cavalry, and they move fast. If you can beat it, you can fight, if you can't beat it, you can run! ”

"My Dachu army is in an embarrassing situation, I can't run away if I lose, I can't run away if I win! In this battle, the essence of hunting tigers, what is needed is patience...... If you don't make a move, you will die, think about how Li Mu eliminated the Huns back then! ”

Xiang Yu said, telling everyone to guard against arrogance and rashness.

"No!"

Everyone said in unison.

After about ten days, the 350,000-strong army began to march, divided into two routes, and attacked the Xiongnu.

A large amount of food, weapons and equipment, all in front of the transport road, ready to start fighting at any time.

Xiang Yu was slightly excited and nervous in his heart, but the other Han Xin, Long Ji, Chen Ping, Zhong Liwu and others didn't take it to heart.

This is not the China of the Two Song Dynasty, nor the China of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the China that has just ended the Warring States Period, which is the moment when China's military power is at its peak.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was no money to fight, no money to the army, no money to the army to fight.

It is even said that fighting a war is essentially spending money.

No money, no war!

Great Chu has just been established, the treasury has no money, Xiang Yu has no money in his hands, and he will not pay salaries to the army, or the War of the Seven Kingdoms, every time Daqin dispatches an army, it is to send money, and Daqin has long been financially bankrupt.

Xiang Yu would not give money, but joined the expeditionary force as a son of a good family, a nobleman who joined the army, a prince who joined the army, etc., with his own dry food, weapons, grain and grass equipment, slaves, and troops.

As for ordinary people, they are not qualified to be soldiers.

Only nobles who were born, or were slaves of nobles, or tribesmen, were eligible to join the army to fight.

Xiang Yu only needs to give food, weapons, and rewards.

As for money, many good families and nobles are not short of money, and those who lack fiefs and titles are given fiefs and titles, as long as they are given titles and fiefs, they are more active than anyone else in fighting wars.

The joint-stock system is better than the employment system!
