"You're not talking nonsense, are you?" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with a questioning face.

If it can be achieved that 100,000 troops can reach the Western Regions with only half a month's rations, then do those countries in the Western Regions dare to be careful?

If this can be done as Liu Ponu said, there will not be so many contradictions within the Han Dynasty now.

War is not just about how many troops are sent.

The Han Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and it sends 200,000 troops at a time, which only accounts for a few hundredths of the total population.

Even if these 200,000 people are wiped out, it will not have much impact on the Han, and even the Han can still send 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000 people will not have much impact.

But if you want to support an expedition of 200,000 people, you need at least two million to three million people behind you to ensure logistics.

The cause of the Han is not how many soldiers were sent to the front, nor how many wars were waged.

Rather, it is the continuous deployment of millions of people to support logistics, which not only affects agricultural production, but also exacerbates the decline in population.

The First Cause of All Worlds

Fortunately, Liu Che now is no longer the Liu Che of a few months ago, and the more you get in touch with Liu Ponu, the deeper your understanding will be.

Although it is always imaginative, there are few things that are not missing.

Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu angrily and asked, "What the hell do you kid have?" ”

Liu Ponu smiled, directly picked up a handful of small stones, and regularly placed them on the sand table representing the green of the grassland.

"Every 200 miles apart, build a military fort, garrison 500 troops, 500 to 1,000 people, in the middle of the four military forts, build a large military fort, garrison at least 2,000, people two or three thousand, in the past nothing happened, the people can graze, the army can also be transferred to graze, self-sufficiency is not a problem, and after the scale is formed, its scale can be doubled in just a few years." Liu Ponu pointed to the small stones he had placed and said.

"The large military fort is within a hundred miles from any of the surrounding four military forts, and in an emergency, the surrounding military forts can abandon the military forts and evacuate to the large military forts, on the grassland, a military fort with four thousand defenders, and at least four thousand civilians, and a tall city wall as a support, even if there are 100,000 and 200,000 Huns, they can only be helpless."

"There is no need to evacuate at all, even if it is only a small military fort, it is enough to resist the attack of the Huns, and don't forget that there is more than this lonely military fort on the steppe."

"As long as the sentry posts are released in advance, there should be no problem in discovering the enemy situation three or four days in advance, and three or four days is enough time for the army and the people to react."

'Hiss......'

Listening to Liu Ponu's description, Liu Che couldn't help but gasp.

This method is really amazing......

The advantage of the Huns lies in the ability to maneuver, and once the military fort is built, it is equivalent to abolishing the mobility advantage of the Huns.

Although the Han army has also been good at fighting immediately over the years, the essence of agricultural civilization still lies in the feet, even if the Han army won the victory on the horse, but this still can't change the fact that the Han is still a country dominated by infantry.

And the establishment of a military fort on the steppe, doesn't this turn the battlefield into a familiar way for oneself?

Let the cavalry come and storm the city?

This is purely to eat and support yourself, think too much, and have nothing to do.

Even if it was just a military fort guarded by 500 people, as long as the city wall could be built to a height of more than two zhang, even if 100,000 Huns came from the opposite side, they could only watch dryly.

Wheel warfare?

Then you are even more afraid, the city gate is blocked, only a few observation posts need to be placed inside, and the rest of the people should be shrunken turtles, they should eat and drink, and they don't even have to show their heads, and the first ones who can't carry it must be the Huns.

"Good! It's a good idea! Liu Che couldn't help but applaud and praise, this special mother's direct is invincible.

He continued: "The area demarcated by the military fort is our pastoral area, and the people can graze their cattle at will, and once they encounter an enemy situation, they can enter the nearest military fort in two days at most. ”

"The Huns are coming, and they can't catch a single one, if he attacks, even if he captures a few military forts, I'm afraid it will take a month or two, and the main force of the imperial court will have already arrived at that time."

"With so many military forts along the way as a support, the army can go out to fight without those worries, and it can be replenished on the way, and it is truly light!"

"It would be better if he crossed the fort to attack, and we could give him a gate to beat the dogs......"

Liu Ponu looked at Liu Che with some dumbfounded, this is the reason, but shouldn't this be what I said?

Also, don't you hear the problem in what I'm saying?

Liu Ponu had already planned what to do in the first step and what to do in the second step, and then after some debate, Liu Che was successfully persuaded by himself.

It's a good thing, you don't even think about it in the face of problems?

Just agreed?

And also see some follow-up benefits?

Is this my suggestion or did you suggest it?

It's rude to be noisy, didn't your teacher teach you?

Looking at Liu Che, who had a warm attitude and gradually became excited, Liu Ponu decided to pour a basin of cold water on him, let him sober up and thoroughly understand whose home field it was.

"Dunhuang to the Western Regions, hundreds of miles near, three thousand miles away, according to two hundred miles of a small military fort, is placed in a straight line past, but also need fifteen military fort groups, a military fort group of one large and four small a total of five."

"For this line alone, according to the average garrison of 4,000 soldiers in the fort group, 60,000 permanent troops will be sent here."

"But if you only deploy in a straight line, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the military fort group not only needs length, but also needs depth to digest, so if you want to achieve the desired effect, the military fort group must at least ensure that the length and width are not less than a thousand miles."

"If you want to control such a large area, you need at least twenty-five military forts, but the northern grasslands are vast, and as long as we leave a little gap, the Huns will find this loophole sooner or later, so if we want to do it, we will treat this matter as the most important thing."

"Although I haven't calculated it in detail, I think that if we want to meet the requirements, it will probably be almost enough to build a hundred military fort groups, that is, we must prepare at least 400,000 garrisons, and no less than 400,000 civilians, and at the same time, we need to have no less than 100,000 main cavalry in the border area to support ...... at any time" Liu Ponu glanced at Liu Che lightly.

Nearly a million people were thrown out of you in one go, and most of them were strong men, so I asked you if you were surprised? Have you ever been stimulated?

Not to mention whether anyone is willing to go, even if it is forced by administrative order, will those ministers in the DPRK oppose it?

Originally, I was just against you continuing the war and wanted to recuperate, but it turned out to be good, and I pushed out a million people directly.

If they really do, won't the gang turn the sky upside down?

However......

Liu Ponu still underestimated Liu Che's determination and desire to fight the Huns.

Whether it is selfless or selfish, the blood of fighting against the Huns has been completely integrated into Liu Che's blood.

After fighting with the Huns for a lifetime, if he couldn't completely defeat them, how could Liu Che be willing?

"What if the threat of the Xiongnu can be completely swept away and the northern steppes can be turned into pastures for the Han Dynasty? It's two million, three million, and the emperor will definitely do it......"
