Damn it! Zhang Hedu, this waste! It's a waste of money to hold him so seriously! ”

Shi Qi swept all the things on the table to the ground, angry, if Zhang Hedu stood in front of him at this time, he was afraid that he would be stabbed ten or eight holes!

"The king's wrath!" The civil and military forces present were trembling.

Shi Qi said angrily: "How do you let the widow calm his anger? Zhang Hedu is a mediocre talent! What is he still known as 'Yanbei Optimus Prime'! More than 400,000 soldiers and horses, twice as many troops as Ran Min, he even suffered a defeat, and he even had the face to ask the widow for help? Why didn't he die! ”

Duan Qin on the side smiled bitterly and said, "King, in fact, Zhang Hedu can't be blamed for this. Although our coalition army is numerous, the quality of the soldiers is generally not high, and it is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the combat effectiveness is far inferior to the elite soldiers and strong generals under the command of Ran Min, and Zhang Hedu can withstand the blow of the Wei army is already very good. ”

Hearing this, everyone bowed slightly.

It's not that Zhang Hedu is not strong, but the opponent is too tough!

"And now?" Shi Qi said in a deep voice, "In the Battle of Cangting, our army was defeated, how can we stop Ran Min's powerful offensive?" ”

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly.

Zhao Shu replied: "Great King, the minister thought that he should retreat to Handan, build a high wall, recruit soldiers, and at the same time send a note to the two kingdoms of the Yan Dynasty, encouraging Tuoba Shiyijian and Murong Hao to send troops south. The soldiers of the Heyan Dynasty, no matter how powerful Ran Min is, no matter how sharp the Wei army is, I am afraid that they will be like the overlord of Chu back then, and they will end up at a dead end and defeated! ”

Hearing this, Shi Qi thought deeply: "Not bad! At the end of Qin, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, but Liu Bang, the king of Han, was defeated and defeated repeatedly, and the overlord Xiang Yu won many battles and was invincible, but why did Xiang Yu fail in the end? The widow believes that a person can lose countless times, but the last time, he must fight and win! ”

Shi Qi compares himself to Liu Bang and compares Ran Min to the overlord of Chu, which actually has a certain amount of truth.

Ran Min and Xiang Yu are actually very similar, they are also brave, they are also ruthless, and they are also victorious! However, the only difference between Ran Min and Xiang Yu is that Ran Min can use people, and he is not as rigid as Xiang Yu!

There are many reasons for Xiang Yu's failure.

First of all, after Xiang Yu overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty, he did not have a correct strategy, but tried to restore the pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Turning a unified China back into the old era of division and division runs counter to the trend of historical development and is doomed to failure.

Secondly, Xiang Yu has a brutal personality, and in the overthrow of the rule of the Qin Dynasty, he slaughtered cities many times and killed innocents indiscriminately, and he has long lost the support of the people. Especially after the victory in the Battle of Julu, he killed more than 200,000 Qin troops who had surrendered in Xin'ankeng. aroused the indignation of the Qin people in Guanzhong, and also made them support Liu Bang even more.

So even though Xiang Yu won militarily, he failed politically.

Moreover, although Xiang Yu won some battles, Xiang Yu himself did not know how to use people, and despised people from poor backgrounds. Xiang Yu is more suited to be a general than a person in power, because he does not know how to use talented strategists and good generals.

In the end, after Xiang Yu destroyed the Qin State, he did not stay in Guanzhong to establish a consolidated rear, but chose to continue to go east, wanting to return to his hometown. In the end, the capital of Pengcheng was built, and the treasure land of Guanzhong was "left" to Liu Bang. This also puts Xiang Yu in a passive position strategically.

Shi Yi decided to fight Ran Min to the end, so he immediately ordered: "Shi Ning! ”

"The minister is here!"

"You immediately sent an envoy to Pingcheng and invited Tuoba Shiyi to lead his troops south. You tell Tuoba Shi Yijian that as long as he can help the widow destroy Ran Min, the widow will divide the state to him. ”

"Yes!"

"Zhang Chun!"

"The minister is here!"

"You are responsible for sending an envoy to Dragon City to meet Murong Hao. As long as Murong Hao can help the widow eliminate Ran Min, after the matter is completed, the widows of Youzhou and Liaoxi will be allowed to him! ”

"Yes!"

Shi Qi has made a bloody investment.

Although the Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liaoxi that he promised to go out were not in his hands at this time, Shi Qi was the son of the Zhao clan and Shi Hu after all, as long as he ascended to the throne, legally speaking, these places would really be ceded out.

Shi Qi had made a blank check, but it was still quite tempting.

As long as the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people goes south, almost everywhere the iron cavalry goes, it is their territory. And with the leading party sent out by Shi Qi, I believe that it will not be a problem for Xianbei people to go south to herd horses!

Shi Qi waved his hand again and said: "Pass the order, all the prisoners and officials in the jurisdiction of the widows, no matter the prisoners, no matter the Hu Han, as long as the strong and strong people must join the army!" The widow wants to fight to the death with Ran Min in Handan! ”

Cangting, the Wei army camp.

At this time, night was falling, and the torches and butter candles of the Chinese army's big tent were burning, illuminating the whole big tent as bright as day. And Ran Min was discussing with Qin Mu and Xun Ji.

Ran Min frowned and said, "The widow has gotten the exact news. Unwilling to fail, Shi Qi has sent envoys to Pingcheng and Longcheng, inviting the Xianbei people to go south to herd horses, and promised Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liaoxi, and Shi Qi himself will also withdraw Cangting's soldiers and horses, concentrate all his forces in Handan, and will fight a decisive battle with our Wei army in a desperate way. ”

Qin Mu and Xun Ji looked at each other, and the latter said first: "King, Shi Qi is already at the end of the strong crossbow, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but if the Xianbei people go south, I am afraid that things will become very tricky." Although our Wei army is strong and strong, it can't withstand the joint attack of the two kingdoms of the Yan Dynasty! The minister asked the king to send envoys to coerce and lure Murong Hao and Tuoba Shiyijian, so that they would not dare to send troops south and invade our borders. ”

Ran Min shook his head and said: "Xianbei is unruly in life, and it is soft and not hard. Coercion is useless for them, but inducement is absolutely impossible, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liaoxi are all important barriers for my Great Wei to prevent Hulu, once lost, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Ran Min came from later generations, and the importance of Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liaoxi is clear!

Not to mention the state, it has been a heavy border fortress since ancient times, and the place where soldiers must fight.

And Youzhou and Liaoxi are the later "Youyun Sixteen Prefectures"!

In ancient times, there was a military project that influenced the entire history of China - the Great Wall.

We all know that there are the Great Wall of Qin and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and if we have a little more common sense, we know that what Qin did more was actually to connect the Great Wall in the north, including Qin, Zhao and Yan.

So, Shandong also has the ancient Great Wall, why doesn't Qin repair it, Ming doesn't repair it, smart people know, who will not be sick in their own yard to repair a fence?

Why build the Great Wall in the north, isn't Qin's main enemy the eastern countries?

Zhao's main enemies are not the southern states?

The main enemy of Yu (Yan) is not the southwestern countries?

Why are they building this defensive structure in the north, their enemies are not in the north!

In fact, the purpose of building the Great Wall is not to enhance the defense force, but to enhance the resistance to harassment, the northern peoples do not have the ability to destroy the Central Plains countries, but they will continue to loot, because the civilization level of the Central Plains at that time was far greater than theirs, and the sixteen states of Yanyun just covered most of the Great Wall.

However, the Liaojin in the Tang and Song dynasties is no longer the Xiongnu more than a thousand years ago.

Liaojin is different, they will occupy the land in the north, and they will not go away by combining nomadism and farming.

What is the importance of the sixteen states of Youyun, the important thing is that if it is in the hands of the Chinese Dynasty, the imperial court can set up a defense line there, that is, set up a defense line along the Great Wall, although in ancient China was often broken into by the northern peoples, but the Great Wall has never collapsed, so Jin, Hebei, and Lu have always been relatively peaceful.

But as soon as the defense line is lost, Liaojin will occupy the first line of the Great Wall, and there is almost no barrier to the south, isn't this how the two sects of Qin and Hui were taken captive. The easternmost one is called Youyun, and the westernmost one is called Yun, and the cloud is more important than Youyun.

Because in the military strategy, Jin is more important than Hebei, military pay attention to the advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, although Jilu is a large plain, rich and developed, but always threatened by the Jin army (no special reference), if you occupy Hebei but not Jin, sooner or later will be defeated, so the Great Wall in the north of Jin has two layers of inner and outer layers, the outer Great Wall is in the northernmost part of Shanxi in the same area.

The inner Great Wall is connected together with Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, and Partial Pass, which is to ensure that Jin can not be lost, once the Jin is lost, Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Jilu are not guaranteed, and these three places are not guaranteed, then the world is in danger!
