Wei Qing likes to be steady in battle, that is, to break the enemy with a majestic array.

Relying on superior strength to crush the enemy, this is the incomparable work of a good fighter.

He himself is this style of play, so he is very uncomfortable with a blitzkrieg like Huo Quai.

Especially at this moment, it is clear that the strategic goal has been achieved and the Hexi Corridor has been swept away.

It stands to reason that the division should return to the court, and the imperial court will send additional soldiers and horses to garrison, as well as divide and set up counties, arrange officials to move the people, and so on.

But Huo Qubing didn't do this, but turned around and went straight to Rouge Mountain with the army.

If you change to a suspicious emperor, you have to suspect that he has other ideas.

After all, the army is outside, and the generals who hold the military power may be dressed in bright yellow clothes at any time because of the cold weather.

Wei Qing, who was slightly worried, quietly looked at Li Yunze.

Then he saw that the Son of Heaven didn't care about this, and stood on the hanging map with great interest, pointed to Yanzhi Mountain and said, "The snow water of Qilian Mountain moistens the Hexi Corridor. The abundant water and grass here, and the abundant products, are very suitable for grazing and feeding livestock. Moreover, there are various caravans to and from the Silk Road passing through here, whether it is looting or collecting tolls, they can make a lot of money, in a word, there is food and money. It is the right part of the Xiongnu, the most important core place. ”

The Xiongnu were essentially tribal alliances, and their internal control was actually very weak, relying entirely on force to suppress them.

They don't have a national capital, and they have to move constantly, so they naturally lack control over the local area.

The larger the territory, the weaker the control.

In order to strengthen their control, the Huns made a three-point world.

The strongest Da Shan Yu, with his own Shan Yu royal court as the basic plate, with a large group of vassal tribes in the middle position.

On the left and right sides of the royal court, there are separate kings on the left and right, and the vassal tribes on the left and right are under control.

This method intuitively increases the control by three times, and it is also the origin of the three Xiongnu departments.

In fact, the official name of the left and right Xian King should be the left and right Tu Qi Wang.

This is because Tu Qi is a Xiongnu language, and its meaning is translated as Xian, so the Han family is called the king of the left and right.

In order to strengthen the control, under normal circumstances, those who can control the virtuous king are the sons of Da Shan Yu.

"The right part of the Huns has been hit hard by this, and there must be no chance to turn over." Wei Qing stepped forward and responded, "But looking at Huo Quai's battle report, although it was swept all the way, it did not meet the main force on the right side of the Huns."

"Because they've been beaten." Li Yunze immediately said: "The Huns are mainly herdsmen, which dooms them to not be able to gather together every day. After all, if you want to graze, you have to spread out on a huge territory. In terms of the communication capabilities of this era, the right part of the Xiongnu should have just begun to assemble at this moment. Where do you think they will gather their troops? ”

Wei Qing blurted out almost subconsciously, "Yanzhi Mountain!" ”

This is not because he came out of his mouth, but because through the caravans coming and going, as well as the reconnaissance of Zhang Qian and others, it was learned that the royal court of the Xiongnu Youxian King was located under the Yanzhi Mountain!

In the whole Hexi Corridor, the water and grass are the most abundant, and the place where the caravan must pass through is at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.

How good are the grasslands here?

The most famous and largest Shandan Racecourse in later generations is here.

Of course, it is now the seat of the royal court of the Xiongnu Youxian King.

When they learned of the news that the Han army had swept through the Hexi Corridor, they would inevitably gather tribes and herdsmen from all over the country to gather troops near the royal court of the Right Xian King and prepare for war with the Han army.

"That's right, it's in Yanzhi Mountain."

Li Yunze turned around and sat down after returning to the case, "This battle should be a few days." ”

In other words, if you don't understand military affairs, or don't know how to pretend to understand here, you have to say that you have to say "The Huns attacked and disturbed without permission, why didn't they retreat and attack them?" ”

If someone really asked such words, then Li Yunze would never leave anything related to military affairs to him to do.

It's very simple, it's clear that it's a blitzkrieg, and Huo Quai, who is full of cavalry, is like a wind and clouds sweeping through the Hexi Corridor, and he travels two or three hundred miles a day at every turn, where can the Huns have time to withdraw the old camp.

The old camp of the Huns is their lifeblood.

The young herdsmen may be able to run away on horseback, but how can the old and weak women and children in the old camp run?

What about tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses?

Without the old camp, there would be no cheese and other food, no tents to shelter from the wind and rain, no sick shamans, no salt, no leather clothes and all other necessities of life.

Horses may still be able to live on grazing, but what do the herders eat?

Killing horses?

Therefore, in the face of Huo Quai's blitzkrieg, King Youxian didn't have time to run away with his huge royal court, and it was even more impossible to abandon the tribe and run to find Da Shan Yu by himself.

If he really dares to do this, then the people around him will kill him first.

For the Huns, who lacked time to respond, the only way was to gather as many forces as possible and fight to the death with the Han army.

As long as the Han army can be defeated, then all problems are solved.

There has not been a large-scale war between the Han and the Huns for more than ten years, especially here on the right side of the Xiongnu, which has really been quiet for more than ten years, so it is not clear that the Han army has long been different from what it used to be.

The Han army, which has been blessed by technology and ruthlessness, is enough to make the Huns desperate.

"Marquis Changping."

The battle at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain in front may have begun, but unfortunately there is no Internet in this era, and there is no way to see the live broadcast, so you can only wait for more than ten days later.

Li Yunze had nothing to do, so he laughed with Wei Qing, "Do you know that this Yanzhi Mountain is also called Rouge Mountain?" ”

"Rouge? Is it the one for a woman's home? ”

"It's that rouge."

Li Yunze said with a smile on his face: "The Huns called Qilian Mountain Tianshen Mountain, and Yanzhi Mountain Tianhou Mountain. ”

"Oh?" Wei Qing was also interested, and asked curiously, "What is the allusion to this?" ”

"Naturally, there is." Li Yunze said with a smile: "It is said that this Yanzhi Mountain is rich in rouge, and it is the most important source of beauty products for Xiongnu women. ”

"I see." Wei Qing nodded, "I never thought that there was such an allusion." ”

"When Wei Qing defeated the main force of the Huns Youxian King, Qilian Mountain, which has rich pastures, and Yanzhi Mountain, which is rich in rouge, have become the land of the Han family."

Speaking of this, Li Yunze snorted leisurely, "Losing my Yanzhi Mountain makes my women colorless." Lose my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest! ”

Thousands of miles away at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, the most famous and largest Shandan Horse Farm in later generations, on the vast and magnificent, emerald green grassland, two large-scale cavalry groups, are constantly approaching each other.

Huo Quai's blitzkrieg really caught King Youxian off guard.

Although he sent envoys to collect troops from various tribes as much as possible, the Han army came too quickly, and they crossed more than a thousand miles in six days and rushed here.

At this time, the herdsmen and warriors gathered around King Youxian added up to only fifty or sixty thousand people, which was almost the same as the strength of the Han army on the opposite side.

In other words, Yi Zhi is leaning here, and he really has to run away, even if he loses the old camp.

Because he was once on the shore of Liaoshui, he was ruthlessly educated by the Han army on how to behave, and he knew that the Han army's combat effectiveness was strong.

But on the right side of the Xiongnu, there has really been no battle with the Han army for more than ten years, and most of the troops sent on weekdays are to show off their might in small countries in the Western Regions, and there is still luck in the bottom of their hearts.

Just like the Right Xian King at this time, he was the youngest son of Yi Zhixian, and even fantasized about defeating the main force of the Han army, and never obtained supreme merit and prestige, so as to take away the position of the crown prince, that is, the position of King Zuo Xian.

Youxian Wang and Wei Qing are about the same age, and the number of people on both sides is at least the same, so they are naturally unwilling to run away directly, determined to pass away the weight of the Han army.

That is, the scale and area here are large enough to meet the collision of armies of this scale on both sides.

And the terrain is also extremely suitable, the green grass in the spring is too suitable for war. It is also suitable for burying people.

During the outpost battle, the Huns habitually sent men and horses to attack and harass.

But what they didn't know was that the war horses ridden by the Han army were all high-quality horses that had been bred for generations, and their speed and endurance had been improved to a considerable extent.

Even if it was wearing horse armor, it was still an extremely fast attack, and it went straight to catch up with the Hun rangers who came up to attack and harass.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Han army had many pack horses, and the war horses that they would ride on the battlefield had preserved a lot of physical strength along the way.

The Huns, who were caught off guard, suffered a heavy loss, losing hundreds of rangers before fleeing back in disarray.

This was an even heavier blow to the morale of the Huns, who were horrified to find that the Han horses, when they were wearing iron armor, could even run as fast as their horses!

Before the main force engaged, it had already cast a shadow on his heart.

"Zhao Ponu!"

"The last general!"

"Your troops attack from the left flank, break through the enemy in front of you, and then stick in behind them and hold them in."

"Whoa!"

"I don't know anything!"

"The last general!"

"Your troops attack from the right flank, break through the enemy in front of you, and then stick behind them and hold them in."

"Whoa!"

"Servant Friend!"

"The last general!"

"Follow the general's banner and go straight to the Chinese army!"

"Whoa!"

"Lubod!"

"Li Kang!"

“.”

Although young, Huo Qubing has already established enough prestige for himself through his previous successive victories.

All the lieutenants are willing to serve him.

After making arrangements for the battlefield, Huo Quai's horse traveled back and forth in front of the battle.

He pulled out the sword given by Li Yunze himself, and shouted loudly, "Wherever the Han army goes, it is all Han soil!" ”

All the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison, "Wherever the Han army goes, it is all Han soil!" ”

Huo Quzhi took a deep breath and shouted loudly again, "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

The soldiers responded loudly, "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

The shouts spread from Huo Quai's headquarters to the surroundings, and the Han troops of all departments roared in unison, the sound was like thunder, the heavens and the earth were moved, and the Huns on the opposite side were also changed!

Huo Qubing turned his horse's head and faced the Hun army several miles away, pointing diagonally at the front with the sword in his hand, and exploded loudly.

"Kill !!"
