Chapter 492: Advantage is in Han

Wuwei County successfully resisted the invasion of the Xiongnu, and this matter has been reported to Liu Che.

Liu Che summoned Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and he saw the song sent by Liu Zhang.

Five thousand Han soldiers were killed and 10,000 Han soldiers were wounded in Wuwei County, and they were treated in time.

Wiped out 50,000 Xiongnu, and the construction of the cities in Wuwei County went smoothly.

Liu Che was very satisfied with Liu Zhang's performance, and had previously made him the Taishou of Wuwei County.

It was indeed suggested that those people had a personal vendetta against Liu Zhang.

Liu Che also wanted to test Liu Zhang's ability to govern the place, and think about a young man who was less than twenty years old serving as a taishou.

This task is very heavy, and everything Liu Zhang did did not disappoint him.

"Although the land west of the river is taken, it will often be invaded by the Xiongnu. I asked Liu Zhang to govern Wuwei County, which is indeed a little difficult for him. ”

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, Liu Zhang fought against the Xiongnu before, and won more with less. It is indeed appropriate to let him serve as the Taishou of Wuwei County. ”

At this time, Wuwei County could only use the method of military governance, and the county seats of Wuwei County were under construction.

What we have to do now is to defend every inch of land, and the Xiongnu would not have invaded the counties of the Han Dynasty in winter.

"Liu Zhang's request to mobilize Han troops from around Wuwei County to garrison, what do you think about this?"

"There are 30,000 defenders in Wuwei County, and in addition to the 5,000 killed, there are more than 20,000 left. If the Xiongnu came to 100,000, they might not be able to defend it, and the minister thought that the Han army could be mobilized from Longxi and Beidi counties to garrison it. ”

Huo Quzhi proposed to Liu Che that the two places were relatively close.

It can also reach Wuwei County in the shortest possible time, and the geographical location of Wuwei County in the west of the river is quite important.

If Wuwei County was captured by the Xiongnu, then the next target would be Jiuquan County.

"Liu Zhang's recital said that the countries of the Western Regions are waiting. They wanted to wait for the Xiongnu to defeat the Han army in Wuwei and Jiuquan counties, and the Western Regions countries sent troops to clean up the mess. ”

Liu Che had already sent an envoy to the Western Regions to inform the kings of the Western Regions.

Let them not go against the Han Dynasty, let alone help the Xiongnu.

Let them see the current situation clearly, otherwise, they will wait for the Han army to move westward.

"Admit to leading the Han army to Wuwei County."

Huo Qubing also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Liu Zhang, who had fought against the Xiongnu in the land west of the river.

The Han army led by him encountered very few Xiongnu, and the combat effectiveness of those Xiongnu was medium.

Although he knew that Liu Che had arranged for Liu Zhang and others to contain the Xiongnu east of Hexi, he really did not feel the pressure that Liu Zhang and them were facing.

"You led 50,000 Han troops from Chang'an, and half of these 50,000 Han troops were sent to Jiuquan County."

Liu Che asked Huo Qubing to lead the Han army to Wuwei County, so that the two of them could communicate.

Look at this year's spring Huns, there is still a plan for the Huns, and the simulator robot that replaces Xu Xuan will send people to deliver information to him every once in a while.

The information he provided was very accurate, and Wei Qing and the others could prepare in advance.

"Your Majesty, what should the minister do next?"

Wei Qing felt that Liu Che was snubbing him, and he had been reusing Huo Quai's illness during this time.

Wei Qing didn't have any complaints, he just hoped that he couldn't waste his time.

"It's hard for him to stay in the northwest for a long time, Your Majesty might as well arrange a suitable time for their family to reunite."

Huo Quzhi can also understand that Liu Zhang has been stationed at the border for a long time, and he misses his family even more.

"I asked him to exercise more in Wuwei County, and when the time is right. Let the Han army go to Mobei and completely wipe out the Xiongnu. ”

Liu Che was also preparing to let the Han army cross the desert and let them go to the Mobei grassland to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

Completely eliminate the threat of the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty, leave Liu Zhang in the north, and free his strategic purposes.

Liu Zhang made a wish to destroy the Huns, so it was as he wished.

"Do you think a shoe will lead the Huns to invade Hexi in a fit of anger."

Liu Che felt that there was a fifty percent possibility, after all, the Huns lost so many soldiers.

Yi Zhixian couldn't swallow his anger, if he knew that the Han army in Wuwei County also had a lot of losses.

He would definitely not miss this good opportunity, Yi Zhixian knew that it would take a lot of time for the Han Dynasty to transfer troops.

He knows better the importance of the speed of soldiers, but Yi Zhixian is not stupid.

To find out the true situation of Hexi Land, it is best to send someone to find out the information.

"I know the situation on the Hexi Land side, and Yi Zhixian must have received the news of the failure."

As Liu Che expected, he asked Huo to prepare for his illness.

Mobilize 50,000 Han troops from Chang'an to Wuwei and Jiuquan counties, arriving before March.

When the spring flowers bloom, the Xiongnu will once again launch an attack on the land west of the river.

Wei Qing had no task arrangement, and he and Huo Qubing left the Linhua Palace.

At the same time, Yi Zhixian received the news of the annihilation of the 50,000 Xiongnu army.

He was so angry that he didn't even hit the Great Wall around Wuwei County.

At that time, he mobilized the resources of various departments and sent 50,000 elite Hun cavalry.

After several days of fighting with the Han army, the result was the annihilation of the entire army.

"It's Liu Zhang again, it's not good for my big Hun to meet him. The 50,000 elite Huns were wiped out, is it so vulnerable? ”

Yi Zhixian was extremely angry, and before the autumn, the Xiongnu fought several battles with the Han army led by Liu Zhang.

The result was a failure, and this sneak attack on Wuwei County failed again.

He felt that there seemed to be no better way to deal with Liu Zhang than to be angry.

"Do you have any good ideas to deal with Liu Zhang? I think he's worse than Huo Qu's disease. ”

Liu Zhang was able to win more with less, and it took him about three days to annihilate the entire army of 50,000 Huns.

"It's a bit hard to get rid of him, but now he's done. Instead, he could send someone to deal with his family, which could hit Liu Zhang hard. ”

The Bank of China said that Yi Zhi leaned out the idea, and Liu Zhang's family was in the Red Marquis Kingdom.

His family will definitely leave the Honghou Mansion, so there will be a chance to attack them.

If the Xiongnu were sent to attack the fortresses in Hexi, they would fail.

"In the past, my Great Huns were invincible, and when I went to Han in the past, it was like entering a no-man's land. But now, my Great Huns have been repeatedly frustrated. ”

Those experienced Hun veterans were either killed in battle or surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

The Xiongnu had already shown a momentum of decay, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty was thriving, and Yi Zhixian was very worried.

If this continues, the Xiongnu will definitely perish, let alone let the Xiongnu enter the Central Plains.

"If this continues, we won't even be able to stay in the Monan Grassland, and it is even more hopeless to enter the Central Plains."

Yi Zhixi's heart suddenly ached, as if he had been hit hard by something.

He almost didn't stand still, and the Bank of China said that it found that Yi Zhixian was not right.

He hurriedly stepped forward to support Yi Zhixian, he may be angry.

The news of the defeat of the Huns this time came and dealt him a real blow.

"The big order is to take care of the body, and victory and defeat are common things in soldiers."

The Bank of China advised him not to get too angry, adjust his mentality, and adjust his strategic deployment.

The Xiongnu still had a chance to win, and the Xiongnu first lost the Hetao area, and then lost the land west of the river.

The Xiongnu lost the best natural horse pasture and the passage to the countries of the Western Regions.

The middle of the land to the west of the river was flat, and the Han Dynasty must have built a strong city there.

In the future, if the Huns want to fight over, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

There are high mountains in the west of the Monan and Mobei grasslands, and it is difficult for the Xiongnu to go to the Western Regions.

The Bank of China said that it was clear that the Xiongnu would not be able to defeat the Han Dynasty in the future, and it was even more hopeless to enter the Central Plains.

After all, the Han Dynasty was strong, had a large population, and was rich in resources, and the Xiongnu could not be compared.

The Bank of China said that it did not say these words because it was afraid of hitting Yi Zhixian.

In recent years, due to wars and natural disasters, the population of the Xiongnu has decreased sharply.

Yi Zhixian thought of many ways to increase the population, and every year he caught some young adults from the Han Dynasty.

Let the Xiongnu women be paired with the men of the Han Dynasty, so that the Xiongnu women can have more children.

The actual effect is not satisfactory, and the death rate of children born is too high.

The medical conditions on the Xiongnu side were even more backward than those of the Han Dynasty, and Yi Zhixian was so worried that he died.

If you don't wage war against the Han Dynasty, you can't get a lot of resources.

The survival of the Xiongnu was even more difficult, and Yi Zhixian felt that more than ten years ago, the Xiongnu were still able to grab a large amount of supplies in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Many people in the Xiongnu miss the days when they returned with a full load in the past, and good things like this are gone.

"I always feel that sending someone to assassinate Liu Zhang's family has very little chance of success."

He'd heard that a lot of people had done that, and they had failed.

He dispelled this idea, Liu Zhang's family was not defenseless.

"It's the old slave who didn't think it through, and I ask for forgiveness."

The Bank of China said it didn't think it was a good idea, but there was no better way to do it now.

"You can't be blamed for this, Liu Zhang and his family can also think of it. Let's think about how to deal with Liu Zhang, and that Huo Quai. ”

These two teenagers are really difficult to fight, and the former Wei Qing showed his edge.

According to the Xiongnu who returned from the battle with the Han army, there were many young generals in the Han army.

They have excellent military talents, and most of them are less than twenty years old.

This is the advantage of the Han Dynasty, which has a large number of people, and the Han Dynasty will never lack talents.
