Sweep the World

Chapter 404: : Shihu's choice

There are too many weird things, but it’s hard to think about it when you’re on the battlefield, especially under the premise that the military order has been issued, even if you want to change the military order, you can’t conflict too much. Retreat, I am afraid it will lead to inexplicable collapse.

The formation of the Han army began to advance slowly in the rhythm of the drums. Every step forward, more than 10,000 big feet stepped on the ground at the same time, resulting in a loud stepping sound.

Li Tu looked at the Han army marching forward in confusion, with the sound of uniform stepping in his ears, and subconsciously said, "No wonder they say that the Han army is good at foot combat."

According to the geographical nature, the Hu people on the grasslands have always been considered good at riding warfare, the army in the Central Plains is good at foot combat, the army in the southern region is good at water warfare, and the army in the southwest region is good at mountain warfare. This is the characteristic brought by the growing area.

In fact, they were not so divided. During the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, every vassal country was good at everything, and usually had a soft spot for chariots. In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu focused on the development of cavalry, and the army in the Western Han Dynasty did not lose to infantry in the cavalry battle. Those are the effects of the environment. Without war horses, we can only study foot warfare, such as the two Songs that lost their horse breeding grounds.

"What do they mean by this?" Wang Hua didn't fail to understand: "Although the infantry formed into a shield formation and with strong bows and crossbows can fight against the cavalry, they can only defend passively and cannot gain the initiative, right?"

Anyone who knows a little bit about the military has no idea. Even if the infantry can defeat the cavalry, the cavalry who has the advantage of mobility can leave. The infantry can't chase it easily. If the infantry doesn't chase the cavalry, it can maintain the results. If the cavalry counter-impacts, it will collapse, and then be driven to death by the cavalry. This is the reason that the infantry can gain very limited gains even if they defeat the cavalry. However, if the infantry loses to the cavalry, it will suffer heavy losses.

"They want to block the route between our army camp and Puyang City." Li Tu is a veteran, and he can guess the intentions of the Han army without much thinking. He said with a full smile: "We may also be discovered when we withdraw from Puyang City. , But they will still attack Puyang City, but they don’t know if they will move in on a large scale."

Qi Ai couldn't understand, and asked eagerly: "Then what should I do next?"

Li Tu immediately gave orders, and soon the surrounding generals were ordered to leave.

Shi Jie Zhao Jun knows the sharpness of the Han army's bows and crossbows. It is a lesson drawn from repeated battles with the Han army. It is not necessary to attack a shielded Han army at all, and the result is a formation. The Han army easily entered the desired position.

Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao, who got the desired result, discussed it. They had a common conclusion that Li Tu had no idea of ​​sticking to Puyang City at all.

"Knowing that our strategic intention is to capture Puyang City, we give up easily..." Yuan Qiao had some thoughts in his heart, but couldn't grasp the point: "There must be a conspiracy we don't know."

"Anyway, we are going to capture Puyang City. It is difficult or easy to capture. The results are the same." Xu Zheng twitched his mouth and said indifferently: "Even if we are surrounded, we will not lack food and weapons..."

"Encircle?!" Yuan Qiao finally grasped the point: "That's right, there is only one explanation for the enemy's series of actions, which is to know that we are going to attack Puyang City, and in turn use Puyang City as a bait!"

Xu Zheng is still full of indifference, and there are quite a few sayings about being surrounded. The most worrying thing is nothing more than running out of food, but they really will not lack food. Shijie Zhao Jun's desire to rely on the siege to solve them is purely a dream.

As a long history of the march, Yuan Qiao naturally knows that his side will not lack food and weapons. After solving his inner confusion, what he needs to do is to plan the most beneficial strategy for himself based on the actual situation.

If one party is willing to give up, the other party wants to take it. The situation formed is that both parties will soon achieve the results they want.

"It's done!" Li Tu saw the banners of the Han army fluttering over Puyang City, and gave an order with a smile on his face: "Our army retreats ten miles temporarily!"

Someone asked if they wanted to leave the camp, but Wang Hua, as the lieutenant, gave a lesson. They only retreated temporarily and will come back soon. What to do when they leave the camp.

Puyang City changed hands, Shijie Zhao Jun looked like he was retreating in panic.

Xu Zheng, who was very eager to attack, was not polite at all. He dispatched cavalry to try to attack Shijie Zhao's rear team. After the battle, he found that Shijie Zhao's retreat was a kind of prepared way, not to look rushed.

"It's still a veteran, I don't know how to make a full set of acting." Xu Zheng is not proud and complacent, he simply despises: "Since you want to act, you can't sacrifice some errands."

"Because Li Tu knows that we will not be easily fooled." Yuan Qiao looked a little worried, and even though he had asked several times, he still asked: "Have someone sent a report to the king?"

Xu Zheng nodded and said: "We have sent more than one team, and the king will be able to know the situation here in the evening."

Yuan Qiao smiled bitterly and said: "In the end, the king came in time. Although there is a big risk with the king here, the next thing is guaranteed."

There is no doubt that Shi Jie and Zhao Jun, headed by Shi Xuan, must have a conspiracy, looking at the trend of division and encirclement, but it is difficult to say whether there will be a big battle next, after all, rain and snow are really not suitable. War.

The rainy and snowy seasons are not even suitable for the deployment of troops. No matter how the situation develops, there is a calm period of about a month. Waiting for the rainy and snowy weather to end, it depends on how determined Shi Jie Zhao Jun to bear the non-combat damage, to judge the direction of the battle.

Puyang County is a flat terrain, very suitable as a place of engagement, especially for the cavalry.

"The Han army has eaten the bait, but it is far fewer than expected." Li Tu personally rushed to Baima to report to Shixuan: "Our army retreats temporarily, waiting for the Han army to attack Juancheng to open up Puyang City with it. After meeting, they will immediately dispatch to retake Juancheng and cut off the contact between the besieged Han army and the rear."

Shi Xuan had already known Li Tu's overall arrangement before, and he was a little hard to understand what Li Tu meant by running back in person.

"His Royal Highness, the art of war talks about the'ten encirclement'. Once the two Han armies join together, there will be more than one hundred thousand. We can't use one million to encircle, but the current two hundred thousand is far from enough." Li Tu eagerly said: "The Heavenly King is in Sanchuan, and he will not go to Tongguan in the short term. Can I request a batch of reinforcements?"

Shi Xuan immediately said strangely: "We are more than two hundred thousand, but close to four hundred thousand."

"It can't be counted like that." Li Tu must correct Shi Xuan's wrong thinking: "There are four hundred thousand, but half of it can only be made up. The two hundred thousand that will be said at the end also has a four to fifty thousand is made up, and the real fight is the prestige. , Not much effect."

Shi Xuan understands a bit. Shi Jie and Zhao Guo fought with the Han army many times, and looked at the number of times they fought with less. However, the Han army counts the soldiers. Shi Jie and Zhao Jun only need to enter as long as an individual enters. All let the Han army win the victory with few strikes.

Li Tu said cautiously: "It can't be like that anymore. If you want to fight, you can only really fight, especially this time it is very important to us."

Shi Xuan hesitated a little, and agreed with Li Tu's statement.

This time it was the Jie people who went into battle, not the two big accomplices of the Qiang or Di people, let alone the Zahu and the Jin people. Failure would really cause serious consequences.

"Although it hurt our morale, we really can't afford it." Li Tu saw it thoroughly and said to Shi Xuan, "Especially for His Highness."

Shi Xuan naturally agreed that he, the prince, was actually not to be liked by Shi Hu, and many of Shi Hu's heirs were watching the position of the prince.

The reason why the Jie people can rule the Central Plains is not based on the identity of Zhengshuo, nor is it based on etiquette and morality. It is based on strong force. Once the myth of the invincibility of the Jie people is shattered, especially if the Han people are defeated, the consequences will be very serious. severe.

Shihu currently has many garrison locations. The main garrison location is in Luoyang, Henan County, but there are also a hundred thousand soldiers in Xiuwu.

Xiuwu is also under the jurisdiction of Henan County. It is more than two hundred and forty miles away from Puyang City. Li Tu really believes that as long as Shihu agrees to send troops, especially if he is willing to send cavalry, he can support it in at most four days.

Shi Hu, who is far away in Luoyang, received a letter of help from Shi Xuan a day later. At that time, he was pulling the beautiful woman to make love, and doing something fierce and different. He pinched the beautiful woman under him by his neck and kept shaking. , And the beautiful woman under her body was strangled to death long ago, which is tantamount to killing the corpse.

The beauty of her origin is not simple, she is the prostitute of the Qinghe Cui family, Shi Hu told the **** after venting: "Go down and make a good preparation, and give it to the officials in the court to eat."

Not every family in the Central Plains fled to the south of the Yangtze River. It can even be said that quite a few families worked for Shijie Zhao State. They were in the center and many served as local officials. It can be said that Shijie Zhao Guo can maintain a country. The appearance depends on this batch of effective families.

It must be said that the current family daughters of the Central Plains family do not seem precious, and the future "five surnames and seven families" are actually in a stage of no success. It is normal for them to marry their prostitutes to the Hu people. Killing is even more commonplace. More than one married daughter was cruelly played to death, and she had to continue to marry the daughter to "make up the seat" in the past.

It is not the first time that Shihu kills and divides food. It is not a big deal to kill a woman who sleeps. He once killed a minister and cooked it in the hall for everyone to eat. Whoever didn't eat it would kill anyone.

After some freshening up, Shi Hu simply put on a long robe before reading the letter written by Shi Xuan. After reading it verbatim, he didn't know why he sneered, and he casually threw away the letter for help written by Shi Xuan.

Shijie’s war between Zhao and Han has been happening all the time, and Shihu would not admit that he did not discover that the small Han tribe would pose a big threat at the beginning. What he has repeatedly stated to the outside world is that as long as he is serious, he can eliminate the pseudo-Han at any time. .

What does it mean to get serious once? Isn’t it just the army of the Jie people who are dispatched! Shihu would not admit that he was going to consume the Qiang and Di nationalities before, and even now he still would not admit his true inner thoughts, that is, regardless of the small ~ court to the south of the Yangtze River or the Han country in Qingzhou, It is actually the Qiang, Di, and Xianbei tribes that can really threaten Shijie and Zhao State.

Shi Hu's idea is simple, and it's not his only idea.

The first is the long-term civil strife in the Central Plains after the Han Dynasty lost its deer. The idea of ​​"you must fight for a boss" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Han people. Xiao ~ Chao ~ Ting's performance seems to have confirmed this. Looking at Han's rulers, they started fighting for Zhengshuo as soon as they established the country. It seems that Han is also a normal commodity.

The Jin people in the Central Plains are scattered, and there are far more allegiance and acceptance of Shi Jie's rule than resistance. It is an indisputable fact that the Hu people are strong and the Jin people are weak.

The Qiang nationality is the most populous tribe today, and there are countless places where they live. The Jie nationality’s sense of threat to the Qiang nationality definitely has its reasons.

Besides, why Shihu would sit and watch Ran Min enter Guanzhong? It was not the Di Clan who made Guanzhongkuai into an iron bucket. The Jie Clan felt the deep fear, but it was not a victimized delusion attack.

Yao Yizhong of the Qiang ethnic group was defeated and captured, and the Guanzhong of the Di ethnic group was smashed. For Shihu, the goal of weakening the two ethnic groups has been achieved, and the next biggest threat must be the already established Han.

In the northern part of the land where Shihu garrisoned troops in the Three Rivers, the main garrison locations are very particular. It takes at most ten days for Luoyang to take the main road and enter the pass. It takes less time to go to Puyang County. In this way, it can be seen that he himself is towards Puyang. There are too many thoughts in the county than in Guanzhong.

"The King of Heaven?" Zhang Haozhu should have called Shihu for a while. Seeing that Shihu, who had been closing his eyes and rested, finally opened his eyes, he couldn't help asking, "What's the order?"

Zhang Haozhu is the Siyu of Shijie Zhao.

Si Yu is actually quite the head of the Ministry of Industry of the three provinces and six ministries, that is, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Zhang Haozhu is not only in charge of the construction of various palaces, but also the various roads and constructions of Shijie Zhao State.

Shi Hu asked: "The eighth year of Jianwu (342 AD) began to build warships, how much is left?"

Zhang Haozhu was taken aback~www.wuxiamtl.com~ cautiously replied: "The size of the warship may be less than eight hundred."

Shi Hu asked again: "How many warships were built again in the 9th year of Jianwu?"

This time Zhang Haozhu thought for a while before repliing: "It's less than four hundred."

Originally, Shijie Zhao’s largest shipbuilding base was located in the Yellow River section of Jizhou near Qingzhou. It recruited more than 200,000 craftsmen from across the country, regardless of whether they built ships or not, and nearly 50,000 craftsmen were ordered to have their legs inaccurate. After being soaked in water for nearly three months, more than 40,000 craftsmen directly scrapped their legs.

When Liu Yan rose up, and the Han army began to work on Jizhou, the surviving craftsmen were rescued by the Han army and became a member of the Han craftsman system.

"Concentrate." Shi Hu thought for a moment, and said, "Just concentrate on Yanjin!"

Zhang Haozhu was naturally obedient, and he didn't dare to ask about the purpose, let alone that it would be impossible to get it done in a short time. (To be continued)).
