Chapter 122: Su Mo must not be let go!
Su Mo asked Chen Wu, "You have gone deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu before, and you know quite a bit about the terrain. ”
"What do you think we should do next?"
The rest of the lieutenant generals also looked at Chen Wu one after another, quite curious.
In the army before, Su Mo said nothing.
Whether it is marching or fighting, Su Mo is in charge.
Now he actually asked Chen Wu to make a decision, which made everyone extremely surprised.
A general, can he say what unique insights can't he say?
Looking at everyone's expressions, Chen Wu immediately got up, walked to the map, and pointed to one of the tribal strongholds.
"This is the largest horse place under the command of the Right Sage King!"
"Among them, not only the best war horses on the grassland are bred, but also the thousands of horses he sells to the royal families of various countries!"
"As long as we approach the horse farm, the Right Virtuous King will inevitably transfer troops back to the defense, and then we will be able to divide the million army in two!"
"If yes!"
Before he could finish speaking, the voice of a scout came from outside the military tent.
"Report, there's a discovery!"
Everyone suddenly stopped and looked at Su Mo, who waved his hand and motioned for Cheng Meng to welcome the scout in.
The curtain lifted, and a scout with a sword-eyed eagle stepped forward quickly.
"General Qiyu, there is a migration of the Xiongnu tribe thirty miles away!"
"A rough estimate is more than 10,000!"
"Please show the general!"
Su Mo glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "How many soldiers are there that can fight?" ”
The scout pondered for a moment, then responded, "According to what I have seen, there are about four or five thousand soldiers who can fight, and no more than six thousand!" ”
Hearing this, the eyes of all the lieutenants straightened.
A Hun tribe of 10,000 people?
Isn't this a military feat sent to the front?
Not to mention 6,000 combatable soldiers.
Even if these 10,000 people are cavalry, what can they do?
It's not like chopping melons and vegetables, and you can take it quickly.
Cheng Meng walked directly to Su Mo's side, and said with a longing voice: "General, give me eight thousand, oh no, five thousand!" ”
"With only 5,000 centaurs, I'll take this tribe for you!"
Seeing him take the lead, all the lieutenants looked at Cheng Meng with envy.
The other party followed Su Mo early and had a high prestige in the army.
In terms of qualifications and strength, it is not everyone's turn.
Just before Su Mo could speak, Chen Wu on the side asked worriedly, "What is the general going to arrange next?" ”
"Will this Xiongnu tribe affect the follow-up strategy?"
When the lieutenants heard this, they all withdrew their hearts to fight.
Cheng Meng was also awakened by these words, and sat back in place with some embarrassment.
He patronized the battle, forgetting that everyone was now discussing the follow-up tactical deployment.
Looking at the eyes of the lieutenant generals, Su Mo knew that everyone wanted to fight.
Su Mo didn't care about his actions and threw him a tiger talisman.
"Give you 10,000 cavalry, and fight quickly!"
Cheng Meng was stunned for a moment, then clenched the tiger talisman, rushed out quickly, and said as he ran: "Don't worry, General, I won't let you down!" ”
Just as everyone was discussing what to do next, the news of the border transfer was also spread by the scouts.
Within the Liyang Dynasty, all the officials had the mentality of watching the drama and did not plan to interfere.
The military department Shangshu also stopped continuing to ask for war, but only waited until His Majesty spoke.
On the dragon chair, Zhang Wentian looked at everyone with a strange expression, and was stunned before he spoke: "The army outside Xiangguan has withdrawn. ”
"The household department came up with a charter, how to trade with the border next year!"
"The opening of the business road is also on the agenda, and the widow doesn't want to see you say you don't know, don't know, don't understand!"
When the officials heard this, they immediately knew what he meant.
Give up attacking Xiangguan, make friends with Su Mo, and observe how the situation develops.
Previously, the Liyang Dynasty was in a hurry twice, and the soldiers and horses were defeated.
not only consumed a lot of military salaries, grain and grass, but also affected the majesty of the royal family.
Therefore, the Liyang Dynasty gave up the idea of a surprise attack on Xiangguan early.
I just want to wait for the Great Zhou Dynasty and Su Mo to decide the winner.
On the other side, within the Dawu Dynasty, all the officials of the cultural relics were full of ambition and planned to recover the Yumen Pass.
The military department Shangshu read out the battle plan he had prepared in public.
"Your Majesty, the plan now is to mobilize 300,000 elite troops to attack Yumen Pass!"
"The border army under Su Mo is obviously going deep into the grassland, and now is the perfect time for my Dawu Dynasty to recover Yumen Pass!"
This time, both the Household Department Shangshu and the Ministry of Rites no longer refute it, but instead support what Chen Wen said, and everyone is very clear about the current situation.
According to the scouts, Su Mo fully mobilized more than 100,000 cavalry to the Xiongnu.
Plus logistics, transportation, etc.
A full 400,000 troops rushed to the Xiongnu steppe.
As a result, the strength of the border pass has been weakened by half.
It was the best time for the Dawu Dynasty to be regained from the Yumen Pass.
On the dragon chair, Zhao Wu looked at the cultural relics and officials who had asked for battle, and his heart was extremely relieved.
He is not afraid of failure, but he is afraid that these officials will not dare to face failure, so he will be afraid of Su Mo.
Once you are afraid in your heart, when you face Su Mo again, the Dawu Dynasty will definitely not be able to win.
But the current situation is much better than he thought, at least the soldiers under his command are no longer afraid of the enemy.
Zhao Wu looked at the hundred officials and said in a deep voice: "This plan is drafted by the Ministry of War, handed over to the cabinet, and then the widow will decide how to do it!" ”
"The 300,000 elite army will be mobilized from today, and the cold winter will fade, and the army will go on the march!"
All the officials and lieutenant generals were overjoyed, and they all spoke of His Majesty's sage.
Unlike the complacent ambition of the Dawu Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty was still mostly gloating.
Hu Weitian, the secretary of the military department, got up and said: "Your Majesty, Su Mo must have mobilized the border army because of the crisis above the Xiongnu. ”
"What if my Great Zhou Dynasty also takes the opportunity to send troops?"
His suggestion was a recipe for fire and extremely risky.
Once Su Mo solved the Xiongnu troubles, the previous Zhao'an of the Great Zhou Dynasty became a joke.
The national teacher's words about Su Mo's return to his heart have also become nonsense.
Xiao Xuan thought about it, but still chose to believe in the national teacher.
"Hu Aiqing's words are different, the national teacher has not yet returned, so don't jump to conclusions!"
"When Su Mo returns safely, do what he thinks!"
Xiao Xuan opened his mouth, and the rest of the people who wanted to speak also chose to shut up, no longer boring themselves.
They of the Great Zhou Dynasty just waited to see the jokes, and the others had nothing to do with everyone.
On the other side, the Xiongnu royal court also received news from the border.
The Right Sage King Hui was an official, and Na Ketu got up and arched his hand: "Khan, His Royal Highness the Right Sage King forced Su Mo to increase his troops, compared to the frontal battlefield, it was a big victory!" ”
"I hope that the Khan will increase his troops together, and he must not let the Right Virtuous King fall into danger!"
On the side, King Zuo Xian sneered coldly.
"Danger? How is the millions of troops of my Huns in danger? ”
"Is it possible for Su Mo to capture the Right Virtuous King in an army of millions?"
Seeing King Zuo Xian speak, Na Ketu immediately shut up, he was just a general under King Youxian, and he was not qualified to collide with King Zuo Xian.
Inside the military tent, the Hun Khan said with a smile.
"Since Su Mo took the lead in increasing troops, my Huns naturally can't weaken their momentum!"
