Volume 3 Chapter 39 The Death of the Cunning Rabbit ...... [Below]
Beauty, no need to be polite......"
Seeing Zhang Han personally escorting him out of the city, Zhang Huan hurriedly saluted. Zhang Han was full of smiles, and quickly stepped forward, about to help him up. Zhang refused, and quickly bowed before getting up. In private, Zhang Huan often gives his hands as a courtesy, but under the public, he can't help but pay attention to etiquette. Zhang Han also knew this, so he helped him and received this gift. But when he came closer, he teased him in a whisper and said:
"Zimei, if you do this again, I won't come to greet you in the future......"
Zhang Huan didn't care, and said with a free smile: "Lord, that's right!" ”
"You......"
Zhang Han tapped him with his hand, I don't know what to say about him, the two glanced at each other, laughed, and entered the city together. Zhang speaks casually, but his demeanor is very measured, and he is always half a step behind when walking.
As the saying goes, there are no rules. The two have been friends since childhood and have a very close relationship, but now the master and slave are different. Zhang went to Youzhou to make a great contribution, and Zhang Han personally greeted him. It was not Zhang Huan who greeted him, but a meritorious man. In other words, Zhang Huan's salute is not a salute to Zhang Han, it is the lord who respects the lord and the general of the chariot and cavalry -- not Zhang Huan's snobbery, no matter how good the friendship is, both sides must maintain it, and Zhang is maintaining Zhang Han's authority.
……
Everyone sat down, and Zhang Huan began to report the situation in Youzhou. The exchange of official documents is not as clear as his understanding in Youzhou. At this moment, Zhang Han's strategy is not far from Yuan Shao's, both are located in the north of the river, and the force is south. However, the difference is that Zhang Han has no intention of relying on the power of the Wuhuan people. In any case, Youzhou is the rear, and Zhang Han is very concerned about the situation in Youzhou. There are all kinds of Linlin in Youzhou, Zhang is familiar with it, and it is clear to say. Zhang Han paid full attention, listened attentively, and asked questions from time to time, Zhang Huan didn't say anything. The two asked and answered, and later took the map and described it in detail, and talked for two hours.
Youzhou is located in a border county, the situation is more complex than that of the inner county, and the folk customs are more fierce, and the main problems revolve around the Wuhuan and Xianbei people. After the death of Tanshi Huai, the Xianbei people were divided and attacked each other. The Wuhuan people became the main enemies of the Great Han Kingdom.
Speaking of which, Wuhuan has a long history of interaction with the Han Dynasty.
After Emperor Guangwu defeated the Xiongnu, the Wuhuan lord Hao Dan and other 922 led the people to surrender, and the Wuhuan people began to live in the Senei, scattered in the Liaodong vassal country, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Guangyang, Shanggu, Daijun, Yanmen, Taiyuan, Shuofang counties, and in the following decades, Wuhuan stood on the side of the Han State and fought against Xianbei together.
However, after a long time, the problem arises. During the period of Emperor An and Emperor Shun, the Wuhuan people rebelled many times, rebelled and surrendered, and rebelled after the surrender, in which both sides occasionally had responsibilities, anyway, they fought and made peace, and continued until the period of Emperor Huan, Xianbei was powerful, and the Wuhuan people betrayed the Han Dynasty, and the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu colluded together to loot the Koubian, and then the party was expelled from the Saiwai. At present, Youzhou Wuhuan mainly resides in Shanggu, Liaoxi, Youbeiping and Liaodong vassal states, and the latter three are the three counties of Wuhuan.
The area controlled by Zhang Han is Senei, and the three counties Wuhuan are not under his control. Only the Wuhuan of the King of Nanlou lives in the northern part of the upper valley, which is located in the Sein. Zhang Han is located in the north to the south, and will not go on an expedition to the outside for the time being, so the main object of Youzhou is Shanggu Wuhuan. There are more than 9,000 households (households) in Wuhuan in Shanggu, with nearly 100,000 people, making it the most populous tribe in Wuhuan. However, Shanggu Wuhuan has lived in the Sei for a long time, living together with the Han people, and the sinicization is the most serious, and the adults do not have much ambition. After being defeated by Gao Shun, Nanlou soon sent a messenger to express his submission.
After the defeat of Wuhuan in the three counties and Zhang Huan's pacification of Youzhou, Nanlou also sent protons at the request of Zhang Han, including the heirs of the king of Nanlou and the important Qu Shuai. This is a very significant matter. If it weren't for Youzhou Dading, Gao Shun would rebuild the Wuhuan camp, and the 50,000 army would threaten on three sides. Wuhuan has no way to retreat, and the king of Nanlou will categorically not agree.
Of course, the Wuhuan battalion is mainly to monitor the Wuhuan, and it is impossible to completely cut off the communication between the Wuhuan and the outside world. However, if the Wuhuan people want to withdraw from the fortress, they have to pay a heavy price.
With this foundation, after Zhang Huan ransomed the looted Han people, Gao Shun set up dozens of camps in the original wellhead at the beginning of the year, which was a matter of course.
Nanlou didn't know that agreeing with Zhang Huan not to take in and loot the Han people would greatly weaken the strength of Shanggu Wuhuan. However, the situation is stronger than people. Wuhuan couldn't even defeat more than 10,000 people in Gaoshun, and when 50,000 troops approached the city, Nanlou had no other choice at all. Moreover, Zhang Han was not stingy and redeemed these Han people at double the price, and many Wuhuan people were happy to do so.
The camp set up by Gao Shun at the beginning of the year blocked the passage of the Xianbei people to enter the Kou, and also cut off the retreat of the Wuhuan in the upper valley. If you can't make trouble at a favorable time and take down the Wuhuan camp in one fell swoop, the Wuhuan rebellion can't help but consider the consequences. Dozens of camps of different sizes, such as Yehuling, Heifengkou and Hannaoba, lean on each other and can be seen from afar, cutting off the Mongolian Plateau and the Shanggu Plain into two sections, isolating the connection between the Wuhuan of Shanggu and the outside of the Saiwai.
Some places are flat and have no danger to rely on, such as the Hannao Dam. Gao Shun dug it like a sieve. Except for the passage that had been set aside in advance and controlled by the barracks, the rest of the land was easily dug into several irregular trenches. From the trenches
The soil dug in the west has built a series of low walls, so that the higher ones are higher, and the lower ones are artificially hazardous. At the same time, numerous potholes were dug on both sides of the trench. The potholes don't last long, and after a few heavy rains, they can easily become small dirt pits. However, this thing is easy to dig, but you don't have to pay attention to it.
After this series of measures, Shanggu Wuhuan is not a problem for the time being. The situation was pressing, and when the king of Nanlou was recruiting at the beginning of the year, he took the initiative to send 2,000 Wuhuan cavalry to show goodwill. Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. The difficult building is like this, Zhang made an appointment with the difficult building, and booked 20,000 cattle and horses. The change in agricultural technology has caused the demand for cattle and horses in Qingji to soar, even if Wuhuan provides more than 100,000 cattle and horses, they can be easily digested. And this is also a huge number for Wuhuan, if you can sell these cattle and horses, why bother to loot. You know, you can't get these possessions even if you loot for a few years. Of course, we will not know until the end of the year.
Zhang Han's goal is more than that. At this time, whether it was Wuhuan, Xianbei, or Xiongnu, they did not have their own writing. In other words, if it were to be annexed at this moment, it would only take thirty or fifty years to assimilate it and make it completely resolved. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Zhang Huan was able to do this, and Zhang Han was already very satisfied.
"Good! Zimei, well done! Zhang Han praised Zhang Huan with a smile, and then had the heart to end the conversation, "Zimei, go back and have a good rest, give you three months of vacation, go home to see the third uncle and third aunt, last time I went back, the third aunt also read that you came, complaining that I didn't let her see her son for two years......
By the way, who do you want to recommend, just hand the name to Yuan Hao......"
Yuan Hao is the cousin of Sima Tianfeng, a subordinate of General Che Cai, who is in charge of the military, and I heard that Zhang Han attaches great importance to his opinion, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
And the praise here refers to the praise of Zhang Huan's personal soldiers. Zhang Han hates people who support the army and respect themselves, and the brainwashing education in the military academy has always been centered on Zhang Han himself, and many measures have been taken to ensure that this can be implemented. In Zhang Han's army, the general is more of a fictitious title, and he does not have the power to open a government and build a government, and even the chief general cannot retain his own personal guards for a long time. Whenever there is a transfer, it is often the master who is transferred alone, and there are no more than three people with him, and the position is also limited.
This raises a number of problems, such as the placement of pro-soldiers. Needless to say, the main general's personal soldiers are the elite of the elite, at least one in a hundred. Dismissing the path is not only a waste, but also easy to expand the influence of the commander. Zhang Han thought about it again and again, and simply set up another "tiger and leopard cavalry" to recruit pro-soldiers. The "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" was a heavy cavalry armed with horseshoes, stirrups, and full-body armor, vests, and fine horses. Due to the rarity of horses, the number of "tigers and leopards" is less than 3,000 so far.
The Qingzhou Army was divided into the New Army, the Standing Army, the Xiandeng Army, and the named troops, and the current army also continues this classification. The new army is a compulsory army with veterans as the backbone and officers as the backbone, and the standing army is composed of professional soldiers, and the first is the elite of the local army. A named army refers to an official name, which is the elite of the elite. At present, only one has been officially awarded the flag, that is, the cavalry, known as the "wolf pack". The other two, one is Zhang Han's pro-army, and the other is the specially formed "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", but these two teams do not have enough records and have not yet obtained their own banners.
Zhang Huan's personal soldiers will be reorganized and trained, and those who are qualified will be scattered and assigned to the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry"; The number of unqualified is not much, generally not more than a third, and it will be dispersed to other troops. And the elite of this elite is destined to be limited in number, and the salary is much higher than that of ordinary troops, but very few people can have much future.
Naturally, there are outstanding people in the pro-soldiers, and Zhang Han also has to take care of the emotions of the generals. Therefore, the main general can promote three ~ five of the personal soldiers, enter the military academy to study first, and then be promoted to one rank as an officer.
The 300 pro-soldiers led by Zhang Huan will no longer obey him as soon as they return to Xindu, and Zhang Han will send another pro-army retinue to escort them. And when he goes on the expedition, he will reorganize a personal army.
Leaving the General's Mansion, Zhang Huan fell into deep thought. In the end, Zhang Han did not announce his new position, I don't know if it was not determined or there were other reasons. However, if it weren't for Zhang Han's temporary lack of urgency to go south to Yanzhou, he would have been appointed to another place. Zhang Huan wasn't sure which point.
Three months later, Zhang Huan was sent to the Linjun Academy as vice principal, and his main responsibility was to lead a training course for senior officers. This is also a common practice, Zhang Han constantly recruited experienced officers from the front line to serve as lecturers in military academies, and enriched the lecturers of military academies to the front line to ensure that theory and actual combat will not be disconnected.
Zhang Huan is the first senior general to be transferred back, but by no means the last. Zhang Han didn't want the cunning rabbit to die as a lackey, so he had to find a way to weaken the influence of the generals. After a great victory, it is also beneficial for both sides to keep them cold for a while, sort out their combat experience, and pass it on.
