Chapter 556: Huo Qu's Strategy
"Maybe. But history has happened, and no one can change it, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can bring Huo Qu's illness back to life, I believe he would rather not let Huo Qu's illness go on the expedition." Qin An said.
Meng Tian nodded slowly and said, "Don't say it's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid no Chinese person wants Huo Qu to get sick and have an accident."
Qin An bowed his head and said, "That's right, as long as the people of Huaxia don't want him to have an accident. In fact, for the Xiongnu, it is not enough to rely on the two generals alone, and there are soldiers who are not afraid of death, and the court is united.
In addition, there is financial support, money and food in place, and most importantly, there is one point, that is, war horses.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to envoy to the Western Regions, which led to the Han Dynasty buying a lot of war horses from the countries of the Western Regions, among which the Dawan horse was the most famous, and the sweat and blood horse in the Dawan horse was the most famous.
I once said that it is a world-famous Maxima, which can really travel thousands of miles a day, and when running, the sweat of the sweat BMW is red, like blood, so it is called the sweat and blood BMW.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once had a bloody horse, which made countless contributions to the Han Dynasty, and after his death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to build a mausoleum for the bloody horse, but finally the minister stopped it.
Although it was stopped, it can still be seen that Emperor Wu of Han has feelings for this bloody horse, and it can also be seen that this bloody horse is a truly rare good horse."
When Meng Tian heard this, he couldn't help but say, "In my lifetime, I can get a bloody horse."
"It's almost extinct." Qin An said, "Your hopes are going to be disappointed. Unless this is the real Great Qin, you can still go to the Great Wan Kingdom to buy horses."
The first half of the sentence made Meng Tian suddenly disappointed, and the second half of the sentence made Meng Tian hope again.
"I'm going to get it." Meng Tian said in a firm tone.
Qin An nodded and said, "I don't know if the Xiongnu you are going to deal with is the Xiongnu I think you are going to deal with.
I can hand over to you Huo Quai's various tactics and tactics in the war against the Xiongnu."
When Meng Tian heard this, he immediately stood up and said solemnly to Qin An, "Please also ask Mr. for advice."
"Sit, sit down." Qin An immediately said, "I'm a little scared when you make it so grand.
Huo Quzhi's tactics were first of all surprise attack tactics: Huo Qubing was good at taking advantage of the weakness of the Xiongnu, selecting the weak links of the Xiongnu army to carry out surprise attacks, attacking the production and living resources of the Xiongnu and making them lose their combat effectiveness.
That is, for those herdsmen, the grain of the Xiongnu is mainly beef and mutton, as long as they sneak attack their herdsmen, or manage the army of grain and grass.
Without food, the Hun army would lose its combat effectiveness.
The second is the division of troops and raids: Huo Quzhi is good at dividing troops and raiding, taking advantage of the dispersion and disunity of the Xiongnu army to attack it from different directions, making it difficult to deal with.
You also know that the Xiongnu were mainly composed of various tribes, and then they were united by Shan Yu and became the Xiongnu.
However, whether it is a large tribe or a small tribe, they all look at each other unpleasantly, and even the other party is still an enemy.
Huo Qubing can see through this, which shows that he knows the Huns very well, and he is dealing with a sentence in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles."
"Indeed." Meng Tian said, "We still know too little about the Xiongnu, if the ancestors could understand the Xiongnu like Huo Quzhi, I am afraid that the Xiongnu would have been exterminated."
Qin An shrugged, he didn't want to comment on what happened, because if there were too many results, it was really hard to say.
Immediately, Qin An continued: "The third attack is unprepared: Huo Qubing is good at taking advantage of the unprepared or negligent defense of the Xiongnu army, quickly launching an attack, attacking it unprepared, and achieving victory.
This is mainly because of the inconvenience of information transmission, Huo Qubing likes to divide his troops to attack, and after each success, sometimes he does not go back, but continues to wander in the territory of the Xiongnu.
As long as you see that the Hun army is unprepared or negligent in taking precautions, give them an unpreparedness to attack, I believe that they will be able to kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor.
You may want to say how to solve the problem of Huo Qu's disease."
"Yes." Meng Tian said, "What should I do if I have been in the territory of the Xiongnu for a long time and have no food?"
"It's very simple, as long as you attack the next tribe, they will have endless food. And when there is really no food, they can go back." Qin An said.
"What if I find out?" Bai Siqi asked.
"If you find it, you will leave." Qin An replied, "But that also depends on the other party's strength.
Huo Qubing has another point, he won more with less in many battles, and defeated the Xiongnu army stronger than himself with excellent equipment, excellent command and brave morale.
So equipment is also very important, this time I will give you Lao Meng's special forces and Mo Dao soldiers, their equipment is absolutely top-notch in your eyes.
So it's absolutely no problem to fight a fight with less to win more, but the soldiers you send out must also be a group of ruthless people, the kind who see death as home."
"Don't worry, sir." Meng Tian said, "They are all the Meng family soldiers left by their ancestors, and they can fight well one by one."
"That's good." Qin An said, "The last and most important step is to use political means.
I told you before that the establishment of puppets was a political means, and the purpose was to lure out the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
If you go to deal with them again this time, it must be that Hun Shan Yu who came out after learning the news and caught you off guard."
Meng Tian replied, "Sir expected it well. Fortunately, the village chief is maneuvering around, otherwise I would have been punished by the imperial court."
Qin An bowed his head and said, "So you need to use political means such as appeasement and migration this time to divide the Xiongnu forces and weaken their combat effectiveness."
"Sir, rest assured, once there are those who surrender to us, I will take advantage of them, and I will treat them well to those who are captured." Meng Tian said.
"Why be kind to the captives?" Bai Siqi asked, "Isn't it better to kill it directly?"
"Master Bai, you don't understand this." Meng Tian said, "I will give preferential treatment to the captives, give them land, grain, cattle and sheep, and give them freedom."
"Bastard, what if they run away?" Bai Siqi said angrily, "In this way, wouldn't they become the combat force of the Huns again."
Meng Tian said, "But if the Hun soldiers learned that they were our prisoners, not only would they not kill them, but they would also give them cattle and sheep, food and freedom, what do you think would happen to the Hun soldiers when they found out, and what would happen to the Hun generals when they found out?"
Bai Siqi said in a deep voice, "I will first slaughter the bastard who spreads rumors, and then stabilize the morale of the army."
"One or two are fine, but what about hundreds or thousands of captives? Can you control one person to speak, can you control so many people to speak?
Master Bai, this is the Yang Scheme, the upright Yang Scheme, the Yang Scheme that the Hun lords and generals have no way to do." Meng Tian said with a smile.
