Liu Zhang also studied burning tortoise shell divination, which is a very ancient method of divination.

Whether it is allowed or not, Liu Zhang is not clear, Liu Che wants to see his divination.

Then make a fortune in front of them, and don't blame him.

Later, Liu Zhang revealed a historical information and asked Liu Che to be prepared.

This is related to Liu Che's safety, and he will go to Ganquan Palace in March.

Zhao Xinhui led the Xiongnu to attack Ganquan Palace, and thanks to Wei Qing, he led the army back to rescue in time.

The tortoise shell burned in the furnace and showed irregular cracks.

The larger the crack, the more damn it is, which may be related to the hardness of the tortoise shell and the temperature of the fire.

The ancients still believed in divination, and waited for the tortoise shell to be burned.

Taking it out to cool down, Liu Zhang clamped the tortoise shell with pliers.

Seeing the cracks of the tortoiseshell spreading, he couldn't help frowning.

The small cracks of the tortoise shell are surrounded by large cracks, which means that there is a disease in the chest

"How's the good and the bad? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Even if it's not accurate, I have a number in my heart, so I think Liu Zhang usually learns to play.

"Your Majesty, please see, this big crack means a great omen. The small cracks on both sides are auspicious, and the crack pattern of this tortoise shell resembles a mountain. ”

Liu Zhang asked everyone to take a closer look, it really looks like a mountain, and the mountain has the potential to crack.

Tortoiseshell cracks are vertical and horizontal, which means that the country is in danger.

Liu Zhang carefully studied the rift, and the ancients divined it in order to get a psychological comfort.

"What does the hexagram mean? It doesn't hurt to be blunt, I don't blame you. ”

"The tortoiseshell cracks are large and small, long and short, and the cracks are like mountains. The cracks at the bottom represent the rivers, which means rivers and mountains, indicating that there are things that endanger the Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Zhang rebelled against the king of Huainan, and a few months later the Xiongnu planned to attack Ganquan Palace.

Liu Che felt that Liu Zhang had some truth in what he said, and Liu Jian, the son of Liu Buxian, submitted evidence of the rebellion of the King of Huainan.

Liu Che did not make a move for the time being, and recently mobilized some troops to monitor Huainan Kingdom.

I also hope that Liu An will raise troops to rebel later, and Liu Che will use troops on a large scale against the Xiongnu.

This is a critical moment, and I don't want Liu An and other princes and kings to take this opportunity to make trouble.

He sent a part of the Han army to monitor around Huainan Kingdom, and he was not in a hurry to do it, and he had his considerations.

Once the king of Huainan made a rebellion, let the Han army suppress it.

"These small and short cracks indicate that Your Majesty will be patrolling other places in a few months, and that there will be an enemy who will sneak up on your Majesty's place."

Liu Zhang did not directly say that he would sneak attack Ganquan Palace, Liu Che must have a plan to go to Ganquan Palace.

It's better not to say it directly, since ancient times, emperors have been more suspicious.

"Do you know where they're going to sneak up?" Liu Che asked Liu Zhang.

"I don't know, but the crack in the tortoiseshell shows that it happened between March and April."

Since the second king Zhao Xinhui led an elite Hun cavalry to attack Ganquan Palace, the time will be in March.

Which day exactly? Liu Zhang didn't know, he just reminded Liu Che to take precautions.

Liu Che did not tell others about his travel plans, and Liu Zhang did not say it explicitly.

But he was in danger when it came to it. Perhaps he obtained the plan for a sneak attack by the Huns through his own channels.

Maybe he didn't feel very sure, Liu Zhang thought it was necessary to remind him.

"If what you say is fulfilled, I have my own reward, and are there any other divination results?"

"From May to June this year, the Xiongnu will invade Shanggu County, Shangjun County, Dingxiang County, and Yanmen County."

Liu Zhang told Liu Che about this according to historical knowledge.

He said it with the help of the results of divination, but he was not sure if the Xiongnu would come?

"If the Xiongnu don't come, the Han army will be busy in vain. If they don't prepare, these counties will suffer heavy losses. ”

Liu Zhang also didn't want the people to be hurt by the Huns, as he did last year.

Be prepared in advance and be caught off guard by the Huns.

"Your Majesty asked the generals to beware of Zhao Xin. This person is very familiar with Dahan. ”

Liu Zhang focused on Zhao Xin, who knew the Han Dynasty well.

It is also very trusted by Yi Zhi Shan Yu, and the sooner Zhao Xin gets rid of it, the better.

"Zhao Xin's villain is not to be afraid, when the spring is warm, I will lead the army to kill the Huns and turn over on his back alone."

Huo Quzhi said confidently that he regarded the Xiongnu as cattle and sheep.

Let his torso be slaughtered, and the Huns will run away if they can't beat him.

It was rare to engage the Han army head-to-head on a large scale, and they were good at reconnaissance and sneak attacks.

This annoyed the Han army, the grassland was so big, it was not easy to find the main force of the Xiongnu.

"The biggest advantage of the Xiongnu is that there are few horses, and the Xiongnu have robbed a lot of armor and weapons from the border arsenal of the Han Dynasty. The Xiongnu did not have much food, so there was nothing to fear. ”

Huo Qubing analyzed the Huns very thoroughly, knowing himself and knowing the enemy, so that he could not be defeated in a hundred battles.

It was not so difficult to deal with the Huns, as long as you knew where they fled to.

led the army to chase after him, but the food of the Huns was not enough to support it for a long time.

They would generally go to the Han Dynasty border to grab some supplies before summer to winter.

The goals of the Xiongnu were uncertain, and sometimes the Han army on the border of the Han Dynasty was caught off guard by the Xiongnu sneak attack.

Last year, the Xiongnu suffered huge losses, also thanks to the information provided by Liu Zhang.

This situation may not be accurate every time, it is better to take the initiative to look for the Huns.

Eliminate as many Xiongnu as possible, Huo Qubing did not feel that Liu Zhang's approach was wrong.

He also contributed to the Han Dynasty, and he is young now.

It was impossible to go to the battlefield, so the Han army won in this way.

Let the people of the border counties reduce their losses, so Liu Zhang's intentions are good.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Red Marquis is kind. Whether it is allowed or not, please don't blame him, Your Majesty. ”

When the spring flowers bloom, the Han army will go to those counties.

Before the Xiongnu came, they laid an ambush, and then sent a part of the Han army to the Monan grassland to find the Xiongnu.

"I don't blame him, if he can calculate the approximate time of the Xiongnu invasion of the counties on the border of the Han Dynasty every year. This is conducive to the victory of the Han army, and if the Xiongnu do not come, it will be even better. ”

In that way, the people on the border suffered less losses, and when the spring flowers bloomed this year, Liu Che would send troops to continue to fight against the Xiongnu.

Since Liu Zhang said that the Xiongnu would come to invade in May or June, he sent a part of the Han army to ambush him.

The border counties of the Han Dynasty have always been on high alert, and it took a few years to completely wipe out the Xiongnu.

Liu Zhengchen listened silently, she felt that it was not the right time.

They were discussing something important, and she shouldn't be a woman involved.

Liu Che didn't care about being heard by Liu Zhengchen, his niece had suffered a lot over the years.

"The biggest disadvantage of the Xiongnu is that there are few people, and the Xiongnu can't grow food, and relying on looting is not a long-term solution."

The equipment of the Xiongnu was not very good, and only the descendants of the Xiongnu Shan Yu could obtain good equipment.

"We must do the war with the Huns, and attack them with guerrilla. You can not confront them head-on and consume their vitality. ”

At this time, the total population of the Xiongnu was only about 2 million.

There were more than 500,000 Huns men and women who could participate in the battle, and the rest were old people and children.

Without too strong combat effectiveness, the Huns robbed the grain, which was quickly recaptured by the Han army.

The Xiongnu also lost countless livestock such as horses, cattle and sheep, so the Xiongnu suffered the greatest losses.

The total population of the Han Dynasty was more than 38 million, as long as it was slowly consumed with the Xiongnu.

The Huns will definitely not be able to hold out for too long, and the best way is to feed the war with war.

"It's actually very simple. Send a cavalry unit. Look for the Huns in the steppe. Mainly sneak attacks, reconnaissance of the Xiongnu's activity location. Those who rob the Huns, eat the Huns. ”

Liu Zhang explained in detail the strategy of using war to support war, and he also had to wage a protracted war against the Xiongnu.

Liu Zhang's strategic thinking coincided with Huo Quzhi, and Huo Qubing also decided to use this strategy to deal with the Xiongnu.

"Wonderful! If it is a war to feed the war. Wouldn't that reduce the financial expenditure of the Han Kingdom? ”

"Yes, robbing the horses, cattle and sheep of the Xiongnu became the trophies of the Han army. Selling these to the interior of the Han Dynasty, the Han army could receive income. ”

If the Huns chased after them, they would abandon these horses, cattle and sheep.

If there are many Huns chasing after them, don't fight with them.

Let your horses run fast and get away from the pursuit of the other party.

If the other party has few people, they will besiege the Xiongnu.

To end the battle in the shortest possible time, the loot is far less important than one's own life.

can fight in a group and try not to fight alone, and the Han army can fight more and less.

There is no need to talk so much about the rules with the Huns, and consume as much of the population of the Huns as possible.

Over time, the Xiongnu were unable to pose a great threat to the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che listened to Liu Zhang's words, but he didn't know what his actual command ability was?

In a few years, Liu Zhang was sent to fight against the Xiongnu to test how he used the strategy of feeding the war with war.

Liu Che also hoped that the Han Dynasty would have generals like Wei Qing, and he also needed to train some young generals.

"Your Majesty may consider establishing a military academy to take the battles that have taken place. It is used to cultivate military talents, so that the Han has a steady stream of generals. ”

Liu Zhang thought of establishing several military academies to systematically train military talents.
