Su Jiao's eyes were as wide as copper bells, he looked at Yao Jia like this, and saw that Yao Jia was unmoved, so he snorted coldly and said: "The fighter plane is changing rapidly, if you can't seize this God-given opportunity, and wait for Mao Dun to recover the Xiongnu forces, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will rise again, Mao Dun is not as good as Touman, this person is obviously more cunning and more ferocious." ”

"When it changes, it changes."

"I think the imperial court should change its existing strategy."

"Give up détente with the Huns."

"Continue to adopt a high-pressure posture against the Xiongnu, and constantly weaken and suppress the Xiongnu forces."

Su Jiao spoke.

His face showed a bit of shrewdness and ability.

He said slowly: "I know that the imperial court has the considerations of the imperial court. ”

"But when the imperial court made these decisions, I probably didn't expect that such variables would happen in the grassland, and now the situation has changed, and the policies promulgated by the imperial court at the beginning are obviously not in line with the current situation."

"I think it's time to make some adjustments."

Shima also said, "I also think that adjustments should be made." ”

"Times are different."

"If you can't seize this precious opportunity, when the Xiongnu are recuperating and recuperating, the imperial court will want to contain the Xiongnu, or even continue to maintain a long-term suppression, I'm afraid it will pay more price."

"In that case, it's better to kill him once and for all!"

"Catch him off guard!"

Wang Li also chimed in.

Listening to the impassioned words of the many generals in the camp tent, Yao Jia just smiled faintly.

He smiled and said, "Generals, don't be impatient. ”

"I know that the changes in the grassland are indeed beyond the expectations of the imperial court, and they also make the generals' minds float, and even many generals think that this is a godsend, as long as the imperial court can seize the opportunity, it will be able to hit the Xiongnu hard."

"I, Yao Jia, am indeed not good at military affairs."

"But in the past, when the world was unified, I also dabbled in one or two."

"So I still know a little bit about the military."

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."

"Fighting, especially this kind of big battle, hard battle, many times not to see the troops, but logistics support, the Huns after the last expedition, retreated hundreds of miles, and now although they have returned, but still hundreds of miles away from the north."

"Not to mention the time spent on the way to send letters back and forth to make the court change its mind."

"Even if the imperial court acquiesces to the generals at this moment, they act cheaply."

"But the grain and grass along the way down are heavy, do you generals have eyebrows and whereabouts?"

Su Jiao's face sank.

The baggage is good, and there are ready-made ones in the army.

It's just grain and grass, and I'm afraid it's hard to bear it in the barracks, not that there is no grain and grass in the camp, but all the way north, I don't know how long it will take, and if it lasts for several months, I'm afraid I can't afford the weight of grain and grass.

However, Su Jiao will not be exposed.

He hummed, "Don't worry about the pawns. ”

"The army has its own plan."

Yao Jia laughed and didn't debunk it.

He continued: "In addition to the grain and grass, the march of the army must always have a direction. ”

"Now that Mao Dun killed his father, once this matter spreads, it will definitely cause chaos in the grassland, how can Mao Dun not know about this situation? He will definitely not stay where he is, but will choose to find another place, and this departure, no one can know the true whereabouts and whereabouts of Mao Dun, and when the army finds out the news, I don't know how long. ”

"And it's almost winter."

"The winter in northern Xinjiang is not compared to the Central Plains, the weather is bitter and cold, and even many livestock are difficult to resist, let alone people? Once the army goes north and suddenly encounters all kinds of extreme weather, how should the generals respond? ”

"And the more bitter and cold the weather, the greater the consumption of grain and grass."

"With such a high expense, is it really something that the Great Wall Legion can afford?"

"Again."

"In the march of the army, if Mao Dun knew about it, and Mao Dun secretly set up an ambush, so that he could find an opportunity and inflict heavy losses on the Qin army, wouldn't it give Mao Dun a chance to re-establish his prestige among the Xiongnu after killing his father?"

"With so many unknowns, how can you generals boast of Haikou?"

"Isn't this disregarding the lives and deaths of thousands of soldiers?"

Su Jiao and the others were silent.

Yao Jia shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Now the general is not here, but I believe that even if the general is in the camp, I am afraid he will not support your idea of rashly sending troops." ”

"This is simply going to die!"

"And the reason why you are so unanimous is that you don't really agree to crusade against the Xiongnu, but you just want to use this reason to make the court give up the idea of détente with the Xiongnu."

"It's too simple."

Hear the words.

Su Jiao and the others were noncommittal.

He said coldly: "Then according to Mr. Wang's opinion, should he ease up with the Huns?" ”

Yao Jia nodded firmly.

He smiled and said: "In my opinion, the change in the grassland is actually more conducive to the ease between the imperial court and the Hu people. ”

"Why is that?" Su Jiao looked puzzled.

Yao Jia stroked his beard.

There was a shrewdness and sharpness in his eyes.

He smiled and said: "Mao Dun relied on killing his father to ascend to the throne, and Tou Man Shan has been in charge of the Xiongnu for a long time, and there must be those who are dissatisfied with Mao Dun, and there may even be those who want to avenge Tou Man, so there are actually differences and disputes within the Xiongnu." ”

"If there is a disagreement, it means that there is a divide."

"According to my understanding of the Xiongnu, there are nobles such as the left and right Xian kings, the left and right Gu Li kings, and the left and right Dadu Wei, and in the past, Tou Manshan Yu preferred the son of the Yan family, so in the court of the Xiongnu king, there must be many forces to the son of the Yan family, and now Mao Dun killed his father, these forces are worried about being liquidated, and they will definitely oppose Mao Dun's ascendancy, and they will also do everything possible to block it."

"If the imperial court sends someone to ease the situation at this time."

"What about these tribes?"

Hear the words.

Su Jiao's eyes froze.

He said uncertainly: "Maybe they will fall to the imperial court, but after all, the Xiongnu and the Qin people have a blood feud with each other, and it is not realistic to completely reverse it, most of them are just using each other to use the power of the imperial court to coerce Maodun." ”

Yao Jia nodded.

He smiled and said, "Then the court will lend them power." ”

"Let these Xiongnu tribes have to rely on the imperial court to a certain extent, so as to compete with Maodun, and the court can profit from it, but the court will not break with Maotun because of this."

"It's about the right and left."

"First get close to the forces that have a dislike for Maudun, in order to achieve the purpose of easing, so as to provide them with certain materials to make their power bigger, and then force Maudun to bow to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can seek more benefits."

"At the same time."

"Mao Dun almost died in the Great Moon Clan in his early years."

"It must be a grudge."

"After he takes power, he will definitely take revenge on the Dayue Clan, and the imperial court can also send someone to ease up with the Dayue Clan, so that almost the entire grassland has to rely on Daqin to survive, of course, this is just the appearance."

"It can only last for a while."

"After all, the grassland is too far away from the imperial court, even if the imperial court has the heart to help, it also has the intention to maintain the divided state of the grassland, most of which is difficult to do, in time, the Xiongnu will be unified again, but before that, the imperial court will be able to get very rich rewards from the hands of the Xiongnu."

"And that's enough."

"The imperial court profits, and naturally the grassland loses, which also reduces the strength of the grassland."

"If the imperial court can really always win over some grassland forces, it may not be possible to let the grassland be divided again, but this requires a lot of resources and investment, and the imperial court may not have so much energy to do it at the moment."

Yao Jia sighed lightly.

He really thought it was an opportunity.

An opportunity to split the Huns.

It's just that the imperial court really can't spare its hands now, and it really doesn't have so much energy, otherwise with the current chaos in the grassland, it may not be possible to split the grassland, but Yao Jia also knows that this idea is not easy to achieve.

Since the unification of the northern steppes by Touman, a new system has been established.

The location where Shan Yuting is located is often the most abundant place for aquatic plants, and Mao Dun currently occupies it.

As long as he is given time, with Shan Yuting's background and resources, Maodun's strength will definitely surpass that of other tribes, and the reunification of the grassland is actually predictable.

Unless the Qin court forcibly sent troops to intervene.

But that's not realistic.

For the sake of the present.

It is to take advantage of the internal contradictions of the Xiongnu to give preferential treatment to some tribes, so that Mao Dun has to be jealous, thereby consuming the strength of the Xiongnu, and then under the step of material exchange, Mao Dun has to bow his head, or speed up the crusade against other tribes.

And this is what the imperial court is happy to see.

Listening to Yao Jia's analysis, Su Jiao and the others were thoughtful.

Naturally, they understood.

Yao Jia's idea was very simple, that is, to draw over the division, intensify the internal conflict of the Xiongnu, and force Mao Dun to bow to the imperial court, or pay more to force a crusade, no matter how Mao Dun chosen, in the end, in order to calm the internal resentment, Mao Dun needs to bow to the imperial court, and pay a certain price in exchange for some resources to encircle other tribes.

This method is indeed more ruthless.

He is also more hated.

It's just that judging from Mao Dun's behavior of daring to kill his father in public, how can he swallow this evil breath? They will definitely send people to make trouble in secret, or instruct some Huns to go south to plunder.

Will the north be at peace then?

But when they thought of what Yao Jia said before, Su Jiao and other generals were also silent.

The imperial court does not care about the process.

Only care about the result.

As long as the final result is good, what will happen in the middle is not within the scope of the imperial court's consideration, even if the people of the northern land are afraid that they will be panicked because of this, but the imperial court will not waver in any way.

Bitter bottom!

Forthwith.

Su Jiao thought of the Military Academy.

Perhaps it was with these in mind that the imperial court deliberately set up a military academy, in order to allow low-level officers to grow rapidly under these skirmishes, and eventually grow into independent generals.

Just thinking about this series.

Su Jiao had a very ridiculous idea in his heart.

Could the imperial court have already guessed that something would happen to the Xiongnu, so it formulated this series of measures?

Otherwise, if Toumanshan Yu is in power, because of the continuous fighting between the Xiongnu and the imperial court, there is no possibility of easing at all, and it is impossible for Toumandanyu to ease, if this is opened, his prestige in the Xiongnu will undoubtedly be greatly damaged.

How could Touman Shan Yu do such a thing?

Only when the grassland changes and the grassland is further weakened, in this case, the Xiongnu and the imperial court have the possibility of easing, and this is not the Xiongnu taking the initiative to ease, but the situation is stronger than people, and they have to bow their heads.

Soon.

Su Jiao shook his head.

He thought it was ridiculous.

They all knew that something had happened to the Xiongnu, and the imperial court, which was hundreds of miles away, how could they know it faster than them? How could it be possible to get the arrangement so early in advance?

It's simply not possible.

Then.

Other generals also thought of the Military Academy.

Shima said: "The imperial court set up the military academy to deal with these conflicts? ”

Yao Jia nodded.

He smiled and said: "Local conflicts are inevitable. ”

"The imperial court should also take precautions."

"Moreover, the establishment of the Military Academy is also convenient for better drawing on 'Shi'."

"Now His Highness's ideas are becoming more and more mature, and at present, in many counties and counties in Kanto, they have also begun to recruit soldiers, and when these soldiers are promoted in these conflicts, these policies can be further rooted in the hearts of the people, which is also His Highness's mind."

Su Jiao and other generals hurriedly made a move.

Wang Li said in a condensed voice: "What does the pawn mean is that the imperial court will speed up the rotation of soldiers?" Successively use a part of the Kanto soldiers to replace the original Kanto soldiers? ”

Yao Jia bowed his head and said: "The imperial court does have this intention. ”

"Now the 300,000 troops of the Great Wall Legion, most of them are from Guanzhong, and they are all veterans of a hundred battles, who have served the country for many years and have been away from home for many years, how can the imperial court keep ignoring them? After the implementation of the 'non-commissioned officer transfer' from His Royal Highness, the imperial court also began to plan to let these veterans return home one after another. ”

"It's just that it's going to take time."

"But according to my estimates, if in the next few years, the soldiers from the east will grow up rapidly, which may greatly drive the idea of the people in the Kanto region to enlist in the army, and the veterans of the Guanzhong region will be able to return earlier."

Speaking of which.

Yao Jia paused deliberately.

Wang Lishang didn't understand.

But Su Jiao and the two old oilmen in Shima understood.

This is to let them 'pay more attention' to the 'talents' from the Kanto region, and as long as they meet the conditions, they will be promoted as much as possible, so as to demonstrate the fairness of Daqin and attract more Kanto people to join the army.

on this.

Su Jiao glanced at Shima.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

From the bottom of their hearts, they are a little resistant to the Kwantung soldiers, but those veterans of the battlefield have been with the army for too long, and they should also retire and go back, and the idea of the imperial court is right.

800,000 troops in the south and north of Xinjiang.

Such a huge army is all from Guanzhong.

The consumption of Guanzhong is too great.

It's time to recuperate.

"Then send scouts or officials to contact the Huns now?" Su Jiao said curiously.

Yao Jia shook his head.

He sneered and said indifferently: "Now send officials to find the Xiongnu, most of them are more than lucky, this kind of thing will be handed over to those merchants, the imperial court has known some time ago that many merchants in the north are secretly colluding with the Xiongnu tribes." ”

"If they have a connection, let them go."

"If you die, you die."

"If it succeeds, they get a piece of the pie."

"This is an extrajudicial gift from His Highness to them."

Hear the words.

Su Jiao and others had no objection.

Now that the situation of the Xiongnu is unclear, it is indeed too dangerous to send people directly, and it is obviously more appropriate and easier to achieve the goal by letting Shang Jia go to explore the road first.

Su Jiao and others claimed to be good.
