Chapter 237: There is no chance of winning at all

"Your Highness, I... Did I hear me right? Do you want to tell Shan Yu of our attack on the Xiongnu directly to the Xiongnu? ”

Looking at Cheng Rong's shocked expression, Liu Qi nodded.

"That's right, and besides, we have to tell him directly that our purpose this time is to arrest him to Daqing for questioning!!"

This can simply be described as a very crazy idea.

Just telling the other party about the plan is already an act of leaking military secrets.

In any battle, it is not that the other side knows as little as possible, but that the so-called attack is unprepared and unexpected, and how can it be said that the military plan should be told to the other side in advance.

As the old saying goes: "If a king does not lose his country, a minister does not lose his body". Regardless of ancient or modern times, secrecy work is an iron law in the army. The strength of the troops and how they plan to fight are all top secrets.

In this way, isn't it equivalent to telling the other party that I am going to lead troops to the battle, and you should hurry up and do a good job of fortifications, which is simply extremely ridiculous.

Moreover, he also threatened to arrest the other party's Xiongnu leader Da Shan Yu.

It's like two people fighting.

When one of them punches, he tells the other party in advance, I'm going to hit you on the right cheek, you pay attention, my next step is to kick your next game.

The main thing is that it's not just talking, it's really doing it.

In addition, he fought like this, and said to the other party, you wait, I will defeat you in a while, and I will tie you to a big tree.

Isn't that just a joke?

In the hearts of Cheng Rong and the others, where is this military plan, it is too child's play, more like a child playing at home.

The reason why I am so surprised is because in the hearts of everyone, with the means of the prince defeating the Indo-Hungarian coalition army, he shouldn't be so unintelligent?

Although Qin Wei and the others were puzzled, they didn't ask much, they only thought that the prince must have a deep meaning when he did this.

Wood asked again.

"Your Highness, who are you going to send to tell the Huns about this?"

Anyone who comes to see this is not a good errand, it is very likely to annoy the Huns, and they will be sacrificed directly to the sky.

Liu Qi smiled but did not answer, and looked out the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and immediately knew it.

The unlucky Li Shouting has good fruits to eat this time.

Thinking of his fate, Wood couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this prince's plan to kill people with a knife was really ruthless.

At the same time, he is also glad that the prince does not care about his past suspicions.

Otherwise, maybe at some point, they will become substitutes for the dead.

The shoe is on the other foot.

If it was before, everyone still looked down on this young man, thinking that he just grew up with a golden key, and came to this place in the north, saying that he was fighting the Huns, but it was just gilded.

But after seeing his series of methods again, this thought suddenly disappeared in everyone's hearts.

For these generals, there is only one way to make them respect, and that is strength, strength that can be admired!!

And this, whether it is in Beiping Pass or in the affairs of the country of India, Liu Qi has completely done it.

Now, Wood and Cheng Rong are like babies.

It's not how much I'm afraid of the prince, but a kind of awe from the bottom of my heart.

They know very well that this prince has a very deep city, and he is a person who does not rub sand in his eyes.

If you really want to make him feel that he is a disloyal minister, then the end will definitely not be much better.

What would a man who dared to disobey even the decree of the Holy Order?

And just when everyone was still apprehensive, the prince suddenly screamed.

"General Wood!!"

At this time, Wood's thoughts were still on Li Shouting's body, and when he heard the prince's voice, his body trembled.

"Temple... Your Highness. ”

"General Wood, you have dealt with the Xiongnu for many years, and this king wants to hear some opinions about the Xiongnu."

Wood thought for a moment.

"Your Highness, my Daqing is not comparable to the Huns in terms of equipment or the combat ability of the generals, in the case of a head-to-head confrontation, even if the enemy army has 10,000 more than us, with the combat strength of our army, it can be easily defeated."

"Therefore, as the last general can see, for so many years, the most difficult thing between us and the Huns is not to fight, but to find!"

"The north of the desert where the Xiongnu is located, located in a vast area, with an area of thousands of miles, and the base camp where it is located is replaced all the year round, and we can't grasp the exact location at all."

"If it weren't for that, the old general Leji would have taken my Daqing's iron army to pacify the Huns."

Wood is worthy of being the great general of the North, and in a few words, he got to the point.

This is also the biggest difficulty for Daqing to eliminate the Xiongnu for so many years.

In ancient times, there was no GpRS, and it was not easy to distinguish the direction in a vast grassland, and it was even more difficult to pursue the main force that often changed the base camp.

Unlike the steppe people, they are accustomed to a life of migration and are very good at guerrilla warfare.

In Liu Qi's thoughts, they are like wandering assassins, even if they don't have to fight, they can drag a large army to death if they drag them on the grassland.

The farther you go, the more difficult it is to replenish the follow-up, and it is simply difficult to maintain daily consumption.

The territory of the Xiongnu is too large, and if you are not careful, you will be cut off from logistics, lost in the Gobi Desert, and become a lamb to the slaughter.

In history, Emperor Wu made the last northern expedition to the Xiongnu, and the general Li Guangli was defeated by the Xiongnu, and the Han army lost more than 70,000 yuan.

At this point, Wood hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Your Highness, with all due respect, even if you have 20,000 additional soldiers and horses sent to you by the imperial court, plus the soldiers who can be mobilized in the north of the last general, the maximum will only add up to more than 70,000 people."

"As for the Huns, but there is an army of 300,000, not to mention the difficult things that the general said, just say that in the case of facing the army, our army has no chance of winning at all."

As soon as Wood's words fell, Cheng Rong also echoed.

"Yes, Your Highness, if the number of the two armies is equal, our army will definitely not be afraid, but now the difference in strength between the two sides is too great."

"If we want to increase the number of our army to 150,000 to 200,000, at least we can have the strength to compete with the Huns."

In fact, at the time of the first emperor, the Xiongnu did not have so many people.

It is also related to so much peace in Daqing, which gives the Xiongnu a chance to breathe. After the unification of the various tribes after Ulan Danyu, its population directly reached an astonishing seven or eight hundred thousand.

Although with such a population and the number of soldiers, it is not too much of a threat to Daqing.

This is like a cancer, and if it goes on like this, it will inevitably be a hidden danger.

This time to fight the Huns, in addition to keeping his position as the crown prince, Liu Qi also thought more long-term.

From a historical point of view, the Xiongnu seem to be small, but their ambition is by no means the grassland, for the Central Plains, they have long been moved, but they have never found an opportunity.

In their plans, they have been spying on the nearest north.

Because as long as you take here, you will have the qualifications to sit on the princes in the world.

Having said that, it is not easy for my father to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to himself, if he can have 152,000 people, he will still negotiate here?

With Bai Qi's ability, it is enough to directly lead the army to push over.

Suddenly, Liu Qi thought of something, and his eyes fell on Lu Liang's body.

"Mr. Lu, this king remembers that you said that the current Xiongnu were formed by the unification of multiple tribes in the grassland, right?"

Lu Liang immediately responded.

"Yes, Your Highness, although the current Xiongnu are unified, they still maintain the original tribes, and the previous tribal patriarchs are in charge of the power of each tribe."

"And several tribes are under the unified management of Zamuhe and Hatir."

"What tribes are they?"

"To be exact, it should be different ethnic groups, such as the Yantuotuo people, Yinan, Tieledan, Jin people, and Zumiao people, etc."

Because he has not read the content of the book in detail, Liu Qi has calculated these things clearly until now.

He squinted his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly he had an idea in his heart.
