Chapter 439 Hard Border City

Liu Zhang's family did what he said, and they must keep a low profile for the next period of time.

He wanted to see Liu Che and take Chen Yun to the palace, what would he do to her?

I hope he doesn't do ridiculous things, some emperors in history like to play with the wives of courtiers.

Liu Zhang felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history was by no means this kind of person, and he was not short of beauties.

Maybe it's because you've thought too much, or it's necessary to be prepared.

couldn't let his wife be wronged, Liu Che did something excessive.

It is estimated that few people dare to stand up and accuse, but he has absolute power.

Liu Zhang chatted with his family for a long time, and they said good night to each other.

Next, they continued on their way, getting colder and colder the further north they went.

The wind and snow in the north were heavy, and they had to rush to Yunzhong County before the arrival of the coldest months.

They are preparing for next year's Hexi Battle, which is related to the strategic deployment of opening up the Western Regions in the future.

Liu Zhang and the others trekked hard and arrived in Yunzhong County, the capital of Yunzhong County, in mid-November.

In front of you is an endless grassland, and because it is winter, the surroundings are covered in snow.

Liu Zhang took a look at the subspace watch, and the current temperature was minus twenty-five degrees.

There is a river in front of Yunzhong County, and there is a city on the other side of the river.

It was a city controlled by the Huns, and that city was called Karen City.

There were 30,000 Huns and 50,000 servants, some of whom patrolled the river.

Most of the people of Yunzhong County have committed crimes and have been exiled here.

They were mainly responsible for building the walls, cultivating the land, assisting in the defense, and cultivating the land was their main task.

Liu Zhang looked at the Xiongnu across the river with a telescope, and they were quite well equipped.

It is not known how many Xiongnu guards there are in Karen City, and some Xiongnu will loot several nearby counties during this time.

The Xiongnu didn't grab much material this year, and Liu Zhang was always able to predict the Xiongnu's plan.

For example, this year, the Xiongnu went to Dingxiang and Yanmen counties to loot, and they were ambushed by the Han army.

The Huns suffered heavy losses, they did not rob things, and this winter was not easy.

The grain produced by the countries of the Western Regions is naturally not as much as that of the Han Dynasty.

"From summer to autumn this year, the Huns did not grab much grain. They have a bad winter, and they will definitely come to grab it during this time. ”

This is their last chance, if there are a few more heavy snowfalls.

The horses couldn't run on the snow, as long as the Huns were surrounded.

As long as you don't fight with them, consume the food they bring.

The Huns' combat effectiveness would be greatly weakened, and the horses they rode were affected by the snow.

Then they had to fight with the Han army on foot, which was the strength of the Han army.

"The Huns haven't made any moves lately, they're patrolling over there, and I really want to take down the city over there."

Liu Zhang took the telescope and said and looked, the city of the Xiongnu was built with stones.

The fortification of the city is not as good as that of Yunzhong County, and the city on their side is a rammed earth city.

Rammed earth construction requires high technology, even if the Xiongnu captured the people of the Han Dynasty.

The core technology and materials cannot be obtained, and they can only use local materials.

"You see, their city doesn't seem to be strong, but if it really is, it's going to be very difficult."

Li Guang advised Liu Zhang not to be impulsive, and it was best to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu on the grassland.

They had a certain advantage, and they fought many wars with the Xiongnu over the years.

The strength of the Xiongnu was not as good as before, and in the past two or three years, the Xiongnu came to the border to plunder.

Heavily damaged by the Han army's ambush, they didn't grab much supplies.

"As long as we hold Yunzhong County, the Huns don't dare to come over easily."

The Huns will also see the opportunity, and now is not a good opportunity for them.

Li Guang came to Yunzhong County in a high-profile manner, and the Xiongnu would soon know.

They want to come here to grab something, so how many people come to them?

There are indeed no famous generals among the Xiongnu, which is not as good as the generals of the Han Dynasty.

They just fight if they can beat it, and run away if they can't beat it.

"I really wanted to teach them a lesson, but look at the thick snow around me. The war horses can't run, and I don't know if the ice on the river is strong enough? ”

Liu Zhang thought about Chen Ye's sneak attack, which was what he was best at.

"In two days, if it continues to snow, wait until the river is solid. You take some people and kill them and teach them a lesson. ”

Li Guang knew Liu Zhang's ability, so he asked him to bring a part of the Han army to sneak attack.

Let Liu Zhang beat his fame, and let the Huns be afraid when they see him.

Young people need to exercise more, and Liu Zhang wants to take part of the Han army to fight the Huns.

His courage was commendable, which also boosted the morale of the Han army.

"I didn't agree with you before, and you don't want to act on your own."

Li Guang is the oldest, and he thinks when he can attack.

He knew in his heart that he was waiting for the right weather.

Sometimes taking advantage of the extremely cold weather to attack the Xiongnu can exercise the will of the Han army.

The Huns did not like to fight in cold days because they would feel that their limbs were inflexible.

They would just hide in the city and bake the fire, or stay in the yurt drinking and eating cheese.

If conditions permit, the Huns will definitely eat meat.

"I'm going to give you a task now, and you're going to have to look at the other side more during this time. Think about what kind of way to get the maximum result at the least cost. ”

Li Guang assigned Liu Zhang a task to observe the enemy situation on the opposite side with a telescope.

"Okay, this task is not difficult, I will wait for you to agree to me to fight the Huns."

Li Guang is now the Taishou of Yunzhong, and Liu Zhang is the Commander of Yunzhong.

Naturally, he is lower than Li Guang in terms of official rank, and he has to listen to Li Guang.

They talked for a while on the tower, and they went down together.

They inspected the city and let Liu Zhang know about the situation in Yunzhong County.

It was also his first time in the north, and he might not be used to the environment.

The winter here is very cold, and he must be thinking about his wife at home.

At home, you can hug left and right, and you can eat delicious food.

Like other aristocrats, life is at ease.

You can't enjoy such good treatment here, this is the border between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

Living conditions here were difficult, and some Han soldiers were stationed here for several years.

"You may not have been used to it when you first arrived here, are you homesick?"

Li Guang is a little homesick at the moment, but he wants to complete the task assigned by Liu Che.

"I did feel homesick, but unfortunately I didn't spend the New Year with my family."

They were on the road for the New Year, and Li Guang could understand his feelings.

He has several wives who are as beautiful as fairies and has a warm family.

There are also a few children who have not been born long ago, and they should enjoy family fun with their families.

"When I was younger, I had the same idea as you, and I wanted to spend more time with my family. When I came to the north to garrison, I felt very lonely. ”

Li Guang said as he walked that now that he is old, he takes his career very seriously.

"You have to guard against arrogance and rashness, this is a good place for you to temper. When you do well, you'll have the opportunity to go home and be reunited with your family. ”

I hope he can endure the loneliness, and of course, he can also go to the local Qinglou to relieve his boredom.

"There's a Yixiang building in this city, if you're bored, you can go there and play."

There are many Han army generals who like to go there, and the women in this green building are all guilty.

They can only spend their lives in the Qinglou, and there are some women in the barracks who have committed crimes and been punished.

"I have wives, and I promised them that I would never mess with flowers and grass outside."

Liu Zhang didn't want to go to the Qinglou to play, he wanted to clean himself.

In doing so, you can also be worthy of your wife and yourself.

It was very hard to garrison the border cities.

Some places are dry all year round, and they are often accompanied by wind and sand.

In some places, it is extremely cold and the time is long.

Yunzhong County, where Liu Zhang is located, is the coldest place in the north.

In a few months' time, the temperature here can reach minus 50 degrees.

Most of the supplies were brought in from the south, where grain production was low.

"Don't be too insistent either, relax when appropriate. It does not violate military discipline, and the front is Yixiang Building. ”

Li Guang pointed to the Qinglou in front, and Liu Zhang saw that there were many young adults entering and leaving Yixiang Building.

Presumably they are the soldiers of the Han army stationed here, when they are on vacation.

Come to Yixianglou to play, relax, maybe one day you will die in battle with the Huns.

They will die on the battlefield, and there are not many entertainment venues in the city.

"I'll take you to see it and get acquainted with it."

Li Guang has been to Yunzhong County several times and is very familiar with every building here.

Take Liu Zhang to familiarize himself with the environment here, and he will come by himself in the future.

"I thought it would be a violation of military discipline to visit the Qinglou, but I didn't expect you to allow them to come here."

"This is not a violation of military discipline, and most of the border guards will come to such a place. They stayed here for several years, and some of their families followed. ”

Li Guang told him about the situation here, after all, life on the border is too difficult.

Some discipline could be relaxed so that they could guard the frontier wholeheartedly.
