Chapter 260: I don't beat my own people

Han Yannian's arrangement made Jun Su want to scold, but he didn't dare.

Although there is nothing wrong with what Wusun does on the surface, everyone is not stupid about what the real situation looks like.

Han Yannian's attitude is indeed tougher, but even if this matter is stabbed in Chang'an, the court will not reprimand Han Yannian for half a sentence.

Because in history, Wusun did not get any benefits in this matter.

When Li Guangli went on his second expedition to the west, Liu Che personally ordered Jun Su to send 2,000 cavalry to assist Li Guangli to attack Dawan.

Li Guangli, who has an army of more than 100,000 people, is he missing 2,000 people?

Liu Che's intentions are self-evident, but Han Yannian is more ruthless.

There was a sudden large-scale agitation on the calm grassland, and the herdsmen who were originally in the cat winter suddenly became lively.

One by one, they had to do everything they could to relocate their families, and although it was difficult to move in winter and caused a large number of their livestock to die, they had no solution.

Of course, moving in winter is not an easy task, and in this era when communication is basically based on roaring, it is basically impossible to find every herdsman scattered on the grassland in winter.

Because the basic survival mode of herders has led to the emergence of this phenomenon, herders live in tribes, small families converge into a small tribe, and small tribes converge into large tribes.

The annual grazing is not where you want to go, the whole pasture will be divided into different areas for each large tribe, and the major tribes will divide their own areas into small tribes, and the small tribes will be divided into some families.

The communication between them is basically to meet at the agreed place before the beginning of spring and once a month after that.

If there is a war, the most that can be notified to the small tribes is that the small tribes will then gather their respective herdsmen to participate in the war.

The herdsmen are also all soldiers, regardless of men, women and children, and there is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young here.

When a person is old and useless, then they will find a way to solve this 'waste' that will only waste food resources.

For example, every winter, many elderly herders are frozen to death.

For example, in every battle, many old herdsmen will die at the hands of the enemy.

The composition of the steppe cavalry is also strictly systematic, with small tribes as the basic combat units, and all families in the small tribes are their basic combat formations.

The head of a family is the main force of the family, and the main cavalry force seen on the battlefield is made up of these people, and their average age is between twenty and thirty years old.

The second echelon is the vassals of these masters, that is, their exclusive logistics troops, usually composed of their sons or slaves, at least two or more people.

The task of the second echelon is to be responsible for ensuring all logistical supplies such as good war horses and food.

That is to say, they need to always ensure that the head of the family who rushes to the front line can immediately change into a war horse with full physical strength when they need to change horses, and when they come down from the battlefield, they need to immediately deliver food, no matter what they need, the second echelon must be ready at any time.

The second echelon is also a reserve, and when the war does not go well and needs to increase troops, they will be directly sent to the battlefield.

However, more often after the death of the head of the family in the first echelon, the son in the second echelon went directly to the top and inherited the position of the head of the family at the same time.

If the second echelon had no sons and only slaves, then all his possessions, including women, would be divided among his companions in an instant.

The third echelon consisted of women and children and old people who were still able to move, and their task was to drive a large area of cattle and sheep, take all their belongings, and keep them within a range of about 200 miles from the main force.

When there is a shortage of materials in the second echelon, it needs to be replenished from the third echelon within two days.

It is precisely because of this special institutional environment that the human touch on the grassland is very thin, resulting in very few old people living to die naturally.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

But it has also increased the combat effectiveness of the grassland herders, at least no matter where they want to fight, they have never been worried about logistics problems.

This is the law of survival on the steppe, so it is the case of the Huns, as well as in those countries in the northern part of the Western Regions that depend on animal husbandry for their livelihood.

This also led to the whole migration process dragging on, until the beginning of spring, and more than half of the people were not able to come to the specified place as agreed.

Although Han Yannian had already taken his 20,000 subordinates to move north for 300 miles to garrison according to the agreement.

But looking at the spectacular scene in front of him, Han Yannian suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking a little too much.

"Hey, that is, there are only more than 20,000 people under this general, if there are 50,000 or 60,000 people, you have to surround the Huns and have fun......" Looking at the dense Huns in front of him, Han Yannian sighed helplessly.

He wanted to use those herdsmen and livestock as bait to increase the main force of the Xiongnu to take the initiative to go south to find his own purpose.

But Han Yannian apparently ignored the extent to which the Han Chinese were a threat to the Huns.

To put it more bluntly, there are 10,000 cattle and sheep on the left, 500 Han people on the right, and 5,000 Huns on the opposite side.

The Huns will definitely give priority to attacking the 500 Han people, and not only will they give priority to attacking, they will also go all out to put all the 5,000 people into the attack on the Han people, and they will definitely not look at the 10,000 cattle and sheep until they finish destroying the Han people.

A more simple and thorough description is that, for example, the little devil in the regiment commander would rather use a squad to pursue two British elders, but only use half a squad to besiege dozens of cannon fodder.

Now the image of the Han people is the same as the old British in the eyes of the little devils.

Of course, the threat of the Han Chinese was much greater than that of the British.

"General, I heard that for this migration, the losses of the various departments are not small, if there is no migration, although there will be losses, but it will not be so big, you say that if Your Highness knows about this matter, will you blame us?" The captain beside Han Yannian said worriedly.

That's right, the main force of hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Huns is standing in front of them and preparing to attack.

As a high-ranking officer of the Han army, he was not worried about the war in front of him at all, but was more worried about whether Liu Ponu would blame them for this incident.

"How is that possible? Didn't His Royal Highness say that stability should be the mainstay, besides, although I brought this matter up, but the original intention was because they were worried that the Huns would plunder, and we didn't have so many troops to protect them, so we could only decide to plan after comprehensive consideration, and if we could attract the Huns, that is, we would create a fighter, and if we couldn't attract them, wouldn't it also protect them from being plundered by the Huns? ”

"Even if they have lost a lot because of migration now, no matter how much they lose, it can't compare to their losses from being plundered by the Huns, right?" Han Yannian actually had some drumming in his heart, but the big war was imminent, and he couldn't express his worries, so he could only comfort.

"Well, that's a ......reason," the lieutenant nodded in agreement.

That is, I didn't take the initiative to provoke the matter.

Besides, Han Yannian also has something to say, prince, you make the equipment so awesome, the scared Huns don't dare to come, even if we take the initiative to attack, people only dare to play peek-a-boo with us, if you really want to do that, when will this battle last?

If you want to solve the battle quickly, you have to show some flaws to others, otherwise why would people take their heads to give you war merits?

……

After Captain Zuo's people went back, they truthfully reported the whole matter to Captain Zuo, and Captain Zuo, who was bent on surrendering, naturally did not dare to disobey Han Yannian's order.

So he began to go to Wushi Lu'er Shan Yu according to the news he received and began to fan the fire, anyway, it means that the Han people are really awesome, but in rainy and snowy weather, their combat effectiveness is very low in the humid environment.

If the Huns wanted to defeat the Han led by Han Yannian, they could only choose to fight in this bad weather environment.

Although this environment is not conducive to the performance of the Huns, it cannot stand its impact on the Han people.

In comparison, the Huns are just giving the Han people a hand, but the Han people are tied to their legs, and at the same time they have a hand wasted, so if you don't fight this battle, then what face does you have to claim to be the Huns?

"Da Shan Yu, I have found the reason why the Han people moved north!" A cavalry figure quickly drilled into the main formation of the Huns, and after finding the figure of Wushilu, he hurriedly reported.

"Say!" Wu Shilu's young figure rode on a tall horse, and he responded in a very chic manner.

"We found the herdsmen who were moving in the north, and learned from them that the countries of the Western Regions had taken refuge in the Han people, and the countries also sent envoys to Chang'an to deliver their credentials, and the Han general Han Yannian ordered all the herdsmen of those countries to concentrate in Wusun because of the lack of troops, and the Han people moved three hundred miles north in order to move land for those herdsmen."

"And according to what they say, the Han are forming a much larger army, it seems that it is at least 100,000 people, and they will enter the Western Regions after the beginning of the summer, and then attack us directly......"

Hearing that the Han people were actually forming a larger army, although Wu Shilu's face was still calm, he was actually forced in his heart.

Han Yannian's 20,000 people scared him a little too much to sleep, and he still came?

And it was said that their cars were all made of steel, and now Wushilu has also seen it with his own eyes, and it is indeed made of steel.

How much steel does it take to equip the 20,000 people in front of you?

At this point, Shan Yu couldn't stop yelling, you actually told me that there are at least 100,000 people behind?

I still use this bronze weapon, even if you use iron to build a weapon, you even made a turtle shell?

Emperor Han, you don't talk about martial arts, you still have to be shameless?

Of course, nervousness is nervousness, and it is necessary to breathe a sigh of relief when it is time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, the Han people have a good plan, but I'm afraid they don't know that Ben Danyu already knows his weaknesses, right?" Wu Shilu said with a disdainful face, not only to cheer himself up, but also to cheer up his subordinates, if he was frightened before the war started, then there would be no need to fight this battle.

"Han Yannian gathered all the slaves from the back of the entire Western Regions, but he probably wouldn't have thought that this was just convenient for Ben Danyu, as long as this battle was completed, it would be equivalent to sacking the entire northern part of the Western Regions!"

"Pass on the order of Shan Yu, kill a Han man, reward a slave, and fifty heads of cattle and sheep......"

"Captain Zuo ......"

Captain Zuo, who was called by Wu Shilu, suddenly panicked in his heart, and urgently called your special mother, don't call me, I don't beat my own people......
