"Bring me the topography map."

Regarding Shanghuo's disease, all the Xiongnu departments today are quite cautious.

The evil king asked his subordinates to bring a huge cowhide map, and invited several Xiongnu generals under his command to discuss the upcoming Han-Hun war.

From the map, the situation is clear at a glance.

They were guarding the corridor leading from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, near the northern corner of the Western Regions.

The location is backed by the Evil King Department, with reinforcements and supplies.

What's more, they received the order of the capital a few days ago, rushed to hold here, and immediately advanced the previous Han army to Yumen, interfering with the situation in the Western Regions, blocking the waist in the area of Yumen, only a little later, it will become a lone army, lacking heavy material support.

Count it all in one fell swoop.

On the map, in the middle area surrounded by mountains, there is an oasis formed by the wind and sand blocked by the mountains, the river is meandering, and the vegetation is verdant, which is the necessary place for the Han to connect with the Western Regions.

"As long as we hold this place, the Han army will lose its advantage in this battle."

King Hutu's gaze swept over the map: "The surrounding mountains and rivers can contain Nahuo's disease, so that his tactics of running are nowhere to be used. ”

The Evil King carefully reviewed the map and said:

"The terrain here can indeed curb any attack of the Han army, and there are mountains in the north and south, which are naturally like barriers."

"The general is said to be young, and after winning a few battles, he became arrogant.

He obviously didn't know how powerful the general was! ”

There was a Hun general, named Tuo Box Jin, nearly forty years old, with a wide mouth on the side of his birth, a collapsed nose, thick and black skin, an oblique scar from the neck to the shoulder blade, and the skin and flesh turned out.

This person has an ugly appearance, but he has the power to fight tigers and leopards, and he is a brave general:

"According to the information received, the Han army will be able to reach its border in about three days.

It is said that if Nahan can capture Huo Qu's delicate skin and tender meat, he will not be able to use it as a woman......"

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, it was still early before the real war, and the Han army would have a chance to engage in battle at least a few days later.

Although the Xiongnu camp was heavily guarded, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

But just as everyone was talking and their interest was high, a messenger quickly walked in outside the tent!

The Evil King saw at a glance that the herald's expression was broken, his heart sank slightly, and he waved his hand: "Shut up." ”

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

The generals looked together at the heralds who had come in.

"Radicals."

The messenger spoke quickly, "I received a report that a Han army, from the position of Yanzhi Mountain and Wusheling Mountain, from the south to the north, attacked and killed a brigade of our army patrolling there, and more than 300 people were all killed, so the news could not come out in time."

Not long ago, a new patrol passed by, and it was only then that something changed. ”

The tent was completely silent.

Han Army?

How could there be a Han army at this time?

Yanzhi Mountain and Longshou Mountain are adjacent to each other, that is to say, there is a Han army, which opened the narrow corridor where they are stationed, opened the road opening, hit the area between Yanzhi Mountain and Wusheling Mountain, and continued to the north, entering the location of the Western Xiongnu tribes.

This Han army, from a geographical location that no one thought of in advance, entered the Western Xiongnu?

"In the Yanzhi Mountain area, we have set up sentry posts layer by layer, how can there be Han troops to kill them? It is hundreds of miles from the border of the Han people, where did they come from?

Has the message been confirmed? ”

King Hugh Tu angrily asked a series of questions.

As soon as they looked at the map, and the surrounding mountains were not suitable for marching, the Han army suddenly appeared.

Time, geographical location, all right!

The Han army appeared directly in the area of Yanzhi Mountain, and there were no clues that had been mastered to catch it.

A group of Hun generals unanimously suspected that the message was wrong:

"We have set up patrol posts around the perimeter several times, and if the Han army goes out of its border pass, it will never be able to hide from us!

Did they fly to Yanzhi Mountain? ”

When I think about exploding, I still can't draw conclusions.

This road in the Western Regions of Hantong is bordered by the Western Xiongnu, Longshou Mountain, Yanzhi Mountain and other mountain ranges in the north.

In the Qilian Mountains to the south, the situation is more complicated.

Not to mention the cavalry, the foot army can't cross it, even if there is a marching strategy to provide convenience, if you want to cross the Qilian Mountain to kill a team, it will take at least ten days and a half more than ten and a half months, there is no reason to come so quickly.

There was a deathly silence in the tent.

Only the herald's voice echoed:

"Our soldiers and horses have carefully surveyed and determined that the other party is the Han army."

"Where they came from and where they are going, it's uncertain.

However, judging that the Han army had at least several thousand troops, and they were very fast in defeating the sentry horses on our side, and none of them were able to escape, it was inferred that there were at least thousands of Han troops on the other side. ”

The herald's words fell, not only did not solve the doubts of the Hun generals, but made the origin of this Han army more and more confusing.

Where did so many people come from?

If thousands of troops came out of the border pass of the Han people, even if they used the marching strategy, they would have the means to deal with it, and it would be impossible for them to hide so well and come so abruptly.

The Evil King palpitated, and looked back at the map in front of him.

Except for the narrow passage of the Han and Western Regions, it is surrounded by mountains.

Did that Han army really fly over?

The Evil King's compelling gaze fell on the place where the confrontation took place.

It is located in the middle of the passage between the Han and Western Regions, and is a small point of their defense. Behind it is the Tengger Desert of the Western Xiongnu, and in the area of the Hunu River, there are some tribes of the Western Xiongnu.

The Evil King suddenly said, "It's not good. ”

Several generals cast their eyes on him.

"The goal of the Han army is grain, grass and pasture—"

You must know that the Xiongnu are nomadic tribes who live by water, and they fight normally, why can they take advantage of it, because they have very little baggage and are extremely flexible. When the grass grows and the warbler flies, the horses graze on the spot, and there is no need to carry excess rations at all.

Therefore, the Huns were willing to fight and repeatedly plundered south, because they had a small consumption and a rich harvest.

But this time was different.

In order to save the face of the previous royal court being broken and the clan moved north, the battle began to be arranged early.

And now, just after winter, the grass and trees on the ground are beginning to bloom, and the horses are not enough to feed on the spot, so they also prepare food and grass.

These grains and grasses are made up by various parts of the grassland.

Since it was time for the summer harvest, the families took out the surplus forage they had accumulated before the winter and waited for the summer harvest to replenish it again.

The grain and grass raised by the various tribes were stored in the department of the Evil King and the surrounding tribes.

Therefore, they sent troops and horses to patrol along the line, just in case something happened and someone attacked their logistics.

The Han army tore through the gaps from Yanzhi Mountain and Wusheling Ridge, and its whereabouts are unknown, so it could only be that they went north, rushing to the grain and grass raised by various departments.

In order to be able to start a war in the spring, the food prepared in advance also became their top priority.

The key point that will be saved if attacked.

If the grain and grass are destroyed, there is no need to fight......

"The battle order from General Borage said that in the spring war, grain and grass come first.

I have made a lot of arrangements before, and I have scattered the grain and grass in the surrounding areas, so that even if someone attacks, it will not cause us much damage for a while. Moreover, General Dian Du also arranged an ambush on the grassland, and the Han army rushed into it, which may not be able to please him. ”

The evil king of Hun had a gloomy face, and hurried out of the tent, shouting soldiers and horses, preparing to support the various departments to prevent the Han army from running out of food.

The sky was just dawning.

Just as the Evil King of Hun was leaving the camp, another herald ran over quickly and said from a distance: "The tome ...... The Langpu tribe has been penetrated by the Han army, and the troops are scattered. The Han army set fires, not only burning the Langpu department, but also burning all the winter grass they used to fund the army......

The entire province was ruined. ”

The Evil King of Hun and the King of Hutu and the others looked at the sky on the east side.

In the night, it seems that you can see the earth-shattering fire burning hundreds of miles away.

The Han army is so fast and ruthless.

I was afraid of something, and I really rushed to cut off their food.

"From the Langpu Department to the west, this way to my Hun Evil King Department, there are a total of seven tribes, which is the route we use to transport the forage baggage."

The Evil King had the feeling of being slapped in the face, and his eyes were black.

Now it is no longer important to study where this Han army came from and how it came to be.

The top priority was how to prevent the Han army from advancing in the rear and disrupt the supply of grain and grass to the Western Xiongnu.

"Come, hurry up and inform the ministries and step up the vigilance.

Order, transfer 10,000 troops and horses from my department, follow me to attack this Han army, and win or lose with it! ”

"Radical, I'm going with you!"

"Tome, I'm going with you!"

The Xiongnu generals of all departments were excited, and burned grain after the attack, and the Han army was really hateful.

Soon after, several teams in the camp left the camp and galloped to different Western Xiongnu tribes, preparing to meet the Han army.

The surprise attack of the Han army stirred up the situation in one fell swoop and disrupted the original deployment of the Xiongnu.

The Han-Hungarian War has begun!

……

Han Chang'an.

In the early dynasties, the brilliant sunlight poured into the temple.

Liu Che was dressed in an imperial robe, sitting in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, overlooking the ministers.

The army went on the march, and today's court meeting talked about the upcoming Han-Hun war!

Wei Wei Cheng didn't know the ranks, and was personally announcing the report, saying, "...... Our army is marching extremely fast, and it will be able to enter Longxi this evening, and it is expected that it will be able to reach the northwest border pass in two days. ”

The emperor nodded, he received the news of embroidered clothes this morning, and knew that Huo Qubing had scattered his troops and horses last night, and disappeared without a trace.

At present, not only the Xiongnu departments are looking for him, but Chang'an is also waiting for further news.

But when he was outside, Huo Qubing didn't take the initiative to send him back, and no one could find him.

The emperor was itching in his heart, and in the morning, he used magic to search for the traces of Huo Quai's illness.

It's a pity that nothing was found.

This shows that Huo Qu spent one night sick and ran out of the Han realm directly, so even if he was the emperor, he didn't find any trace of him.

……

On the third floor of the main hall of Liang Yuan, Liu Qing sat by the window.

Huo Quai's march to war, she also became busy, sending and receiving news related to the advance of the army.

Liu Qing buried his head in a lot of information, his thick eyelashes flashed, and his expression was focused.

"Last night into the night...... first went to the border city of Xiguan, and then separated from the subordinates, and only led the pro-army into the Xiqiang territory. What is the husband going to do? ”

Liu Qing looked at all kinds of news from the embroidered clothes, looked at the map, and tried to analyze Huo Quai's intentions.

But again, there is no clue.

At this moment, Song Ran came in from outside and delivered a new message:

"Princess, the person who followed Huo Hou came back with a message for the first time, using the new communication method of concentric lotus leaves......"

Liu Qing took the secret message presented by Song Ran, his eyes swept away, and his eyes widened slightly: "...... so fast"

She stood up from behind the low seat, walked out, and said, "Your Majesty specially asked someone to inform him in the morning, and he will be notified immediately if there is news of his illness."

I went to see His Majesty in person, and he was immediately glad to see the news.

If there's any new news, come to me directly. ”

After saying that, the fluttering little steps ran out of Liang Yuan.

The inner gate of Liang Garden is connected to Weiyang Palace.

Liu Qing came all the way to the outside of the main hall, and the chamberlain Dong Xu greeted him from the palace first: "Why did the princess come in person?" ”

"When I was sick on the front line, Your Majesty asked me to tell him if I had news, and I must not delay."

The secret information that recorded the traces of Huo Qu's illness appeared in the emperor's hands a moment later.

The content of the secret message is: Lang Zhong ordered Huo Qubing to leave Xiguan at the end of last night, enter a combat state, and at the beginning of today's Yin Shi, that is, at three o'clock in the morning, crossed the Yanzhi Mountain, Wusheling area, and entered the territory of the Western Xiongnu, in the process of defeating a small group of Xiongnu troops.

At the end of the Yin period, that is, around dawn, close to five o'clock in the morning, Huo Qubing commanded the army to attack the Western Xiongnu Langpu Department, and its winter grass and grain were prepared and burned!

There is no need to keep things secret if they have already happened.

The emperor then asked his chamberlain to read the news out to the court to share the joy and boost morale.

After Dong Xu finished reading, the ministers were in an uproar.

It's not that Huo Quai's defeat of the Xiongnu's tribe burned its grain and grass and shocked the ministers, but that the speed was too fast! Early yesterday morning, they personally went out of the city to send Huo to illness, and that night this Lang Zhongling rushed out of the border and blitzed the Huns.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Blitzkrieg to the fullest.

Those who understand military affairs can see that there is another mystery in it.

Cheng Buzhi was also thinking about Huo Quai's marching route, and was puzzled:

"How did Lang Zhongling do it, killing from the Yanzhi Mountain and Wusheling area?

The Xiongnu have been deployed in that area recently, how did Lang Zhongling lead the troops there? ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Cheng doesn't know, you are also a person who cultivates soldiers, I Xu Ling will take a day, and tomorrow the court will come to inform me which route to go to illness, and the troops suddenly appeared near Yanzhi Mountain." ”

Cheng Buzhi was stunned for a moment.

The emperor was happy and left homework.

The emperor got up after leaving his homework and said, "Nothing to do, there are other things to discuss in my study!" ”

After that, he hurried to the study.

In the study, Liu Qing was waiting.

She came in person, and she also wanted to ask the emperor about something.

Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Tang, Li Cai and others also followed up in the study room to prepare for the discussion.

"Brother Huang, go to the sick and attack Yanzhi Mountain, Wusheling Ridge, where to march from to make the Huns defenseless?"

This is something that neither side understands.

The emperor spread his hands and said, "I don't know. ”

He asked people to bring the march map and looked at it for a long time:

"The last time I came back to say that I left Li Dang in Xiguan, I thought he was asking Li Dang to assist in the defense at the border pass, but now it seems that there are other purposes."

The emperor set his eyes on the terrain outside Xiguan and around Qilian Mountain, and his eyes gradually brightened:

"I understand, it's a good thing to do...... It was Li Kang's troops and horses that had been in Xiguan. ”

The people still did not grasp the emperor's meaning.

Only Dong Zhongshu realized: "What Your Majesty means is that Lang Zhongling was actually arranging the attack route of this battle as early as ten months ago, and Li Dang had been staying outside Xiguan and secretly leading troops to explore the way.

Although Qilian Mountain is difficult to march, but after exploring the time of ten months, Li Dang has hidden his subordinates in advance in a certain position through Qilian Mountain.

That's why you can attack the enemy unprepared! ”

The emperor patted the case and said, "It must be so."

It has been ten months since I ambushed this battle, and it is a strange plan to calculate in advance and lay out!

If I hadn't known that he had Li Kang's subordinates outside Xiguan and never returned, I wouldn't have thought of this strategy.

If the Huns want to break their heads, they won't understand how the disease appeared in Yanzhi Mountain, ha! ”

Dong Zhongshu, Li Cai, Zhang Tang and others groaned slightly, and their hearts all set off a strong throbbing.

Huo Qubing began to arrange this surprise attack from ten months ago, not only because of the shock brought by the strategy itself.

Instead, he made arrangements before the tenth month, indicating that as early as that time, he had an accurate judgment of the current battle situation, and knew how to attack the enemy to weaken and influence the battle situation.

Therefore, before the tenth month, the Tibetan soldiers were arranged, and the soldiers and horses were left for themselves to use a month later.

What level of strategic vision and battlefield command ability is embodied in this?!

Everyone had a kind of miraculous thought.

Even the emperor was in a fluctuating mood, and he was extremely comfortable.

On the battlefield of the Western Huns, the sun rose into the sky.

Huo Qubing rode on horseback and looked at the sun hanging high, it was very hot.

He retracted his gaze, looked at a Xiongnu tribe that appeared in front of him, and waved his hand: "Kill it!" ”
