Wait a minute......

The envoys of the Western Regions, who were still somewhat satisfied just now, suddenly seemed to have caught something very important.

When they set out from Wusun, Han Yannian ordered all their people to go to Wusun to avoid trouble, while Han Yannian led the Han army to move three hundred miles north to protect their safety.

When the mission departed, Han Yannian's Han army had not yet moved its defenses, and the news had not reached any other countries.

And only half a month after they came to the Han Dynasty, the emperor received a report that the Han army had annihilated more than 40,000 Xiongnu main forces.

Of course, the transmission speed of military newspapers is faster than theirs, even if there is no way to speed up it in the Western Regions, but after entering the Han Dynasty, it can indeed increase the speed to the fastest.

It is rumored that from Yumen Pass to Chang'an, if you don't care about the cost, you can send a military report in ten days at most.

That is to say, within half a month to a month after they left Wusun, the Xiongnu went south?

And also fought head-on with the Han army?

The result, of course, was a complete victory for the Han army!

But the question is, why didn't the Xiongnu go to them, but went directly to confront the Han army?

Did the Huns think they would gnaw the hard bones first, and then go and eat their lambs?

Thinking of this, the representatives of the Western Regions Mission had uncomfortable expressions on their faces as if they had swallowed a flight.

Bamboo shoots......

It's so special......

Han Yannian definitely wanted to touch the Huns, and he never gave up this goal since he arrived in Wusun.

But what can be done to get the main force of the Huns to take the initiative to find the door?

Answer: The snow disaster in the grassland, the Huns will never be able to make up for the losses in winter without relying on plunder, but they also have a lot of losses in the Western Regions, and even plundering cannot make up for the losses of the Huns.

But it is better to plunder than not to plunder, Han Yannian did not come to him in order to prevent the Huns from running to plunder, so he used the prestige that the Han army had just made in the Western Regions to directly threaten the countries of the Western Regions to migrate behind the Han army.

In this way, with them, the herdsmen and livestock of the countries of the Western Regions as bait, the Huns did not come, but also came.

The Han army could wait for work and directly launch an offensive while the Huns were not firmly established.

And the emperor already knew the battle report ahead, but he still kept it a secret.

The more the representatives of the Western Regions envoy group thought about it, the more speechless they felt, why are the Han people like this......

Han Yannian used them as bait, even if the emperor used them to worry about the attack of the Huns and was eager to seek refuge, he obviously didn't want to pit them, but they still had to cry bitterly one by one?

Their routines are too deep, right?

I really want to go back to the Western Regions......

But even if he goes back, he will become the territory of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, can't there be a pure land in the world where you don't have to play tricks and intrigue?

"Your Majesty, the new army has not yet been trained, and Han Yannian's troops are limited, so it is not suitable for in-depth pursuit at present, and after the consumption of winter, it is even more unsuitable to continue the pursuit at the moment.

"In addition, it is necessary to speed up the training of the new army, and strive to replenish the new army to the Western Regions as soon as possible to strengthen the military strength and prepare for the subsequent all-out attack."

"According to the advantages and disadvantages of the new army, the minister believes that Zhao Ponu can lead his troops into the grassland to loite, and the main task should be to find the hiding place of the main Xiongnu force, if there is a condition, attack their logistics, and do a good job of auxiliary left tasks for the army to attack." Huo Guang stood up directly and said.

Don't think that Huo Guang is a civilian official and doesn't understand military affairs, and later the name of the general was not for nothing.

After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to Emperor Xuan's succession, there was a fourteen-year window period in between, whether it was Liu Fuling or Liu He, the king of Changyi, these two people did not have real power in their hands.

Of course, even Emperor Xuan of Han, who destroyed Huo Guang's entire clan, had to admit the importance of Huo Guang to the Han Dynasty.

After Huo Guang grasped the military and political power, he didn't show off everywhere, even if he killed his political opponent, the other party couldn't sit still and do it first.

In the more than ten years that Huo Guang held power, the Han Dynasty, which had been engaged in the misery of the people at the end of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was recuperated, and the population, agriculture, and economy were all restored.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to fight the Xiongnu so domineeringly because Emperor Wenjing left him a rich family foundation, then Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was able to send troops to Wusun to attack the Xiongnu in the third year after succeeding to the throne, which is the confidence that Huo Guang left to Emperor Xuan of Han in the past ten years.

Therefore, Huo Guang may not be good at commanding in battle, but his ability to strategize is definitely not bad.

He carefully studied everything about the new army, and he saw the advantages and disadvantages of the new army.

At the same time, he also saw the role of cavalry in modern warfare from Han Yannian's marching command.

Therefore, Huo Guang simply changed his attitude, and told Liu Ponu from the beginning that he wanted Zhao Ponu to lead his troops to complement the new army, which completely became to cooperate with Han Yannian to fight.

From not dividing the main force, it has become a completely auxiliary force such as looking for the main force of the Huns and sneaking up on logistics.

Of course, Huo Guang had regrets in his heart, but the new army was the trend of the times, and he couldn't change this matter.

Therefore, he can only take advantage of the fact that the cavalry is still a little useful now, and try his best to win some opportunities for his core subordinates to stand in line.

Sang Hongyang snorted, in terms of military affairs, he really didn't have any ideas.

So let alone let him find fault with Huo Guang's suggestion, he couldn't find fault at all.

Although he knew very well that everyone knew that Huo Guang was trying to benefit himself, Huo Guang's benefit made everyone speechless.

And Liu Ponu, who was also in the main hall, had to give a thumbs up to his father-in-law, this hand was really high, and it was not ordinarily high.

quietly pushed Zhao Ponu out, and gave such a reason that people couldn't refuse.

Frankly speaking, Liu Ponu has no prejudice against Huo Guang, and Huo Xian, the future mother-in-law who has the most prejudice against Liu Ponu, doesn't know where she is now.

Anyway, with his own existence, Huo Guang doesn't want to marry Huo Xian, a scheming girl, in this life.

If it weren't for Huo Xian jumping up and down and messing around with things, Huo Guang would not have been able to be wiped out.

In terms of ability, Huo Guang is indeed a very good auxiliary minister, and he will never disappoint when he arranges things for him to do.

"Yes! But the matter of the Marquis of Hunye is better to be forgotten by the palace! Before Liu Che nodded in agreement, Liu Ponu directly agreed.

As for whether Liu Che would be angry because he robbed him of his power, Liu Ponu felt that probably not.

Besides, this is what you bad old man asked me to say, I just said what I thought, and it is up to you to decide whether you agree or not.

Liu Che looked thoughtfully at Liu Ponu in the audience, his face was expressionless, but he seemed to understand something in his heart.

It is said that Huo Guang has recommended Zhao Ponu, the Marquis of Xunye, to Liu Ponu more than once, but this kid refuses very simply every time.

Although Liu Che is very ruthless, his own sons are so ruthless, it is not good for him to continue to be ruthless as an emperor, otherwise it will make people think that none of their father and son are affectionate, and it will not be conducive to subsequent development in the long run.

"The Marquis of Xunye has made great achievements, has been stationed in the grassland for many years, is extremely familiar with the situation of the grassland, and the soldiers under his command are all elite, although there are more than 20,000 people, but it is not too much in the scale of 100,000!" Liu Che said.

"Father, it's not that the sons and daughters don't think that the Marquis of Hunye is not up to this task, but because there are too many restrictions on traditional cavalry combat!" Liu Ponu shook his head and responded sincerely.

But I am very firm in my heart, yes, I am suppressing Zhao Ponu, I am suppressing Huo Guang.

Besides, am I suppressing you for my own selfish gain?

What happened to you Zhao Ponu in history, don't you have a little force in your heart?

What about you Huo Guang?

Don't have a little pressure in your heart?

Zhao Ponu used to follow Huo Quai, the immortals fought too much, and his self-confidence must be bursting, plus he has been suppressed so ruthlessly over the years, if he dares to let him out, then he won't completely let himself go?

Historically, he was completely annihilated because of his meritorious service.

Although it is very likely that he will not be completely annihilated now, if Zhao Ponu wants not to be completely annihilated, then he can only cooperate with the new army to win a battle, and if he wins the battle, won't that increase your Huo Guangpiao's capital?

If you Huo Guang floats, okay, let's just say that you Huo Guang is a little forced in his heart and doesn't dare to float, but do you dare to guarantee that your sons won't float?

I'm suppressing you now so that I won't kill you in the future, please, can you stop living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

I'm here for your own good.

"We are different from the Huns, the cavalry can not carry too much military food supplies, the army can not fight on the grassland for a long time, although the short-term action speed of the new army is slow, but it is better to be sustainable, can carry more material supplies, and now the reason why the cavalry can break away from the original combat mode is only because the new army helps them carry a large number of material supplies."

"In my mind, the current new army is not the strongest new army."

"When the size of the new army reaches a certain number, I will continue to improve the structure of the new army, at least to ensure that they can survive on the grassland for more than half a year, and the current Han has not been able to do this, whether it is from the number of equipment, or the ability of logistics supply, the current new army has not yet reached the bottom line in my heart."

"And this kind of thing is not in a hurry, people outside can think wildly, can boldly guess and fantasize, but we people in the court cannot, we must always keep our sanity, only in this way, we can win the battle together, in order to minimize the loss."

"As for the reconnaissance mission that only cavalry can complete, I have a plan for this, and I will soon let you see the alternative......
