As Su Mo made a decision, the borders began to act.

Previously, the border had always been defensive, and it was only necessary to prepare the defense strategy of each city.

Now it's a different story, this time it's an active attack.

The target of the attack is still the most difficult Huns!

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always liked to defend to the death, relying on natural dangers and cities to fight a war of attrition, and then mobilize a large army, a comprehensive counterattack, and directly attack the hinterland.

If it is the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is a siege war, and you only need to prepare siege equipment and tactical strategy.

The Dawu Dynasty is biased towards the front, the armies of both sides are placed on the border, each of them is hard-hitting, whoever loses will lose the power of resistance, simple and rude!

If it is to attack the Dawu Dynasty, it will prove hard at the border, and see who can't withstand it first!

But the Huns were completely different.

Because of the extremely vast grassland territory of the Xiongnu, the border army needed to organize cavalry to have a chance if they wanted to invade.

If it is an infantry, it will take half a year just to reach the royal court, and no dynasty can support such consumption.

If you want to organize cavalry, you have to be numerous.

There are 150,000 cavalry under the command of King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu, more than 100,000 cavalry under King Xian of You, plus nearly 100,000 cavalry under the royal court.

If the entire Xiongnu unite, nearly 400,000 cavalry ravages the grassland, and no dynasty in the Kyushu continent dares to shake it head-on!

In the face of such a huge cavalry team of the Huns, only the combat power is much higher than him!

In addition, the timing of this dispatch is too strange!

There has never been a precedent for a Winter War, so the logistics are extremely complicated!

Su Mo ordered the border army to prepare winter equipment and armor early on, and there was no shortage of combat equipment.

However, the biggest problem is not war, but logistics!

They went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu for cattle and sheep.

But now it is winter, and the transportation of cattle and sheep has become extremely troublesome.

At the border, the corresponding transport team had never tried to transport so many cattle and sheep before.

Coupled with the previous series of wars, the internal affairs of the various borders have become a mess, making things even more troublesome.

In the past few days when Su Mo was preparing the army, the General's Mansion has not stopped in and out, and the county guards from all over the country have reported the available cars and people in the city.

Zhuge Liang, together with Zao Wou-Ki and others, worked day and night to prepare logistics and raise transport vehicles.

Fortunately, the border army was quite wealthy, and there was no shortage of transport vehicles in the major commercial houses.

In just over ten days, 20,000 wagons were raised across the border.

Everything is ready, all that's left is how to distribute it.

Zhuge Liang suggested that the 5,000 carriages be divided into a group, a total of four groups of transport vehicles, each group of vehicles was escorted by soldiers and horses of the border army.

His suggestion was endorsed by a group of lieutenants, and everyone felt that it was quite reasonable.

The logistics are done, and all that remains is how many cavalry will go deep into the hinterland, how many troops will escort cattle and sheep, and which general will lead the troops!

In response to these problems, the adjutant generals had different opinions.

Zao Wou-Ki thought that since he was fighting, he would fight a tough battle, and the 200,000 cavalry would be pressed to teach the Xiongnu a lesson.

As for the person who commands the army, he is naturally headed by the general, and he is supplemented!

His remarks were directly rejected by Zhuge Liang.

"At most, only 100,000 cavalry can be mobilized, logistics escort, border defense, and cavalry are needed to deal with mountain bandits outside the sixteen cities!"

"Now it's a cold winter, and the mobile combat of the cavalry is indispensable, so you can't all go to the Huns!"

Zhuge Liang's remarks were agreed by the adjutants.

Everyone felt that this distribution was reasonable, and the rest was the opportunity to compete for the lieutenant.

Cheng Meng and the others hurriedly spoke: "In the past, the vanguard army was served by me and Tie Niu, and now the two of us naturally want to go together!" ”

After speaking, he also winked at Tie Niu, and motioned for the latter to speak with him, but Tie Niu looked at Su Mo and said with a smile: "The general asked me to go, I will go, if you don't let me go, I will wait at home to eat beef!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Looking at him like this, Cheng Meng's face was red and his neck was thick, and he really wanted to punch Tie Niu.

If the two of them speak out together, the chance of Su Mo taking the two of them will greatly increase.

If he is the only one who speaks out, I am afraid that Zao Wou-Ki will serve as the deputy general, and everyone will have no chance.

However, Tie Niu didn't understand these at all, he would only follow Su Mo's orders, and Cheng Meng couldn't do anything about him.

On the side, Chen Wu also hurriedly spoke out, wanting to compete for the opportunity of the deputy general.

"General, when I first arrived at the border army, I commanded tens of thousands of troops, and it is inevitable that some brothers will not be convinced, why don't you give me a chance to prove myself!"

Seeing that Su Mo didn't react, he spoke again.

"My Chen family and the Huns are feuding, my father and third uncle died in the hands of the Huns, the elders of the family have studied the tactics of the Huns for many years, familiar with them, I also quite understand the habits of the Huns!"

"In addition, I have followed Xiao Wutian deep into the hinterland of the Huns before, and I also know a lot about the terrain, so why don't you let me follow."

What he said is not leaky, and it is justified!

First of all, he clarified his identity, in order to demote the general, and the soldiers were not convinced by his ability and gave him a chance to prove himself.

Then he explained that he was born in a family of generals, and he had a deep blood feud with the Huns.

The elders in the family have studied the tactics of the Huns for many years, and they themselves are quite familiar with it, and they have good reasons to accompany them.

In the end, he said that he had gone deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and returned with a great victory, making it clear that he knew a lot about the Xiongnu and had the ability to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

As he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Wu with a hint of appreciation and defensiveness in his eyes.

Appreciation is to appreciate this person's calm mind, and it is the style of a general in the army.

The precaution is that this person is quite deep in the city, and he was suspected of surrendering to sincerity before, and he needs to be tested before he can be entrusted with important tasks.

On the side, Cheng Meng and others wanted to refute, but found that they couldn't refute at all.

In terms of reason, I am not more reasonable than others.

In terms of experience, he has not penetrated into the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

No matter from which point of view, Chen Wu seems to be the best candidate for this dispatch.

Seeing that no one objected, Su Mo finalized the candidate for the deputy general.

He is the commander-in-chief, and Chen Wu is the deputy general.

He led 70,000 cavalry deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and 50,000 cavalry served as a reserve force to receive and transport cattle and sheep.

Just as the rest of the lieutenant generals were about to leave, the scout suddenly came to report: "Report, someone outside the account asks to see the general!" ”

Hearing this, the lieutenants on the side all looked like they were used to it.

In the past, people might have wondered who it was.

After experiencing Bai Qi and Zhuge Liang, everyone has long ceased to be curious about these people who came to surrender.

It must be another terrifying power.

On the contrary, Su Mo himself was quite surprised.

The system has not given talents to come, so why do people still come to ask for a meeting?

Could it be that the Great Zhou Dynasty came to surrender?

Intrigued, he ordered his men to bring in the seekers.

As the people who asked to see were recorded, all the lieutenants were stunned, and they turned out to be old and young.

Su Mo took a big look, and then said: "The two of you came to my border near the depths of winter, what happened?" ”

The old man stroked his beard, his expression indifferent.

"The old man came here to give gifts to the general."

Hearing this, Su Mo was a little puzzled: "Gift-giving? What to give? ”

The old man smiled confidently: "Send the general a world!" ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the lieutenants were extremely strange.

Cheng Meng felt that this old man was a madman, his mind was not very clear, and he dared to say that he would even send a world.

As for Chen Wu, he felt that this person was a little strange, he didn't look like a crazy person, but he said such a thoughtless thing, which was a little strange.

He had heard the elders of his family say that there were some hidden powers in the world, and they were so strange that they could not be fathomed.

Looking at the old man now, he felt that the other party might be this kind of peerless power that could not be hidden.

After all, the other party was dressed in a pale cyan Taoist robe, holding floating dust, and looked like a person with advanced cultivation.

On the side, Kong An's expression was extremely strange.

He looked at the old man's outfit, trying to see something out of it.

He knows a lot about Taoist sects, and he has never heard of such a person.

Unable to find an answer, he was quite suspicious of the old man's identity, and felt that this person was most likely a liar, and wanted to take advantage of the winter to cheat some food.

Zhuge Liang and Bai Qi exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

This old man's cultivation is unfathomable, and both of them feel an extremely ethereal aura, looking like immortal cultivators.

Therefore, both of them looked at the actions of the old and the young quite cautiously.

As long as he dares to make a move, Bai Qi will make an instant move.
