Chapter 288 The problem of talent growth under his command (4.4K)

Huo Shan beckoned, Xiao Lizi pushed out the map standing on the side, and pushed it to the center of the big tent, Huo Shan got up and came to the map.

"Now, no matter what the reason is, no matter what the reason is, in short, the Huns are ready to attack us.

And apart from the ten countries and Loulan, there are doubts, but we are not sure which other countries are involved.

But in this battle, it is impossible for our army to sit still and wait for the enemy to attack.

I, choose, take the initiative!
The Xiongnu and other countries in the Western Regions can afford to consume this area, but we big men can't afford to consume it. Don't forget the purpose of our trip, to destroy Dawan.

And I don't allow it, and I have lost my reputation as a big man here. "

Having said that, Huo Shan paused for a moment, walked two steps with his head down, then continued to raise his head and said:

"But because of Xiao Hei's existence, we also know some news, so we won't be blind.

For example, we know where the soldiers and horses of the Huns are, their approximate number, and calculate their next plans through their marching routes.

Let our army have time to prepare, time to respond, and similarly, time to attack the enemy on the way forward, and even let them stay in this area. "

Huo Shan stopped here, turned to Zhang Anshi and said:
"Retell the information we know to the generals, so that they can have a clear understanding of what they don't know."

Zhang Anshi bowed and saluted:
"promise."

Afterwards, he took the stick from Huo Shan, pointed to the map and began to talk. All the generals began to cheer up, ready to listen to it again, and write it down in detail, so as not to miss any important information.

"First of all, the main opponent of our army this time is the Huns.

The number of soldiers and horses is about 12 to 18. Because of Xiao Hei's investigation, there is no accurate number.

Therefore, whether it is too much or too little, we will treat them as 20 soldiers and horses. "

The faces of the generals became a little more serious, as a sign of respect for this number, but their faces were still relaxed.

Champion Hou is their confidence, did they sit calmly without looking at Huo Shan?
What's more, they had more confidence in Huo Shan than Huo Shan had in himself.

"Three days ago, according to the investigation, the Xiongnu's soldiers and horses were gathering at the northern side of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains, the territory of the Pulei Hou Kingdom that was destroyed by us.

And their marching route was to walk west along the East Tianshan Mountains. "

The Tianshan Mountains are very long. The mountains are not like rivers. They cover a large area and stretch across a wide area.

Therefore, in order to make a better distinction, Huo Shan called the section from Dongqiemi, which is Urumqi, to Yiwu, which is Hami, the East Tianshan Mountain.

The huge section of Tianshan Mountains in Central Asia that stretches all the way from the east to Mimi is called the West Tianshan Mountains.

In order to better call it during wartime, it will be divided later, otherwise it is just a Tianshan, with such a large range, who knows where it is!
"According to the speculation of the governor and me, they should go all the way to the west, turn at the east and go south, and enter the Western Region.

Along the way, they passed through the territory of most of the ten countries, which could better replenish water and food for the army.

You must know that four of the Ten Kingdoms are located on the north side of the west side of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains. If you count the four countries not far from the East Tianshan Mountains, and the four countries on the west side of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains, the number of countries has increased to eight.

This is not a small force, and it is very likely that the Xiongnu will pass by all the way.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that the Xiongnu will cross over from the middle of the East Tianshan Mountains and other low-lying places, although this possibility is very small.

The most likely way is to divide the troops, most of them will reach Dongqiemi along the road, and a partial army will be separated to enter the Western Regions from the middle. "

Seeing that what Zhang Anshi said was almost done, Huo Shan got up again. Although he didn't know much information, he still had a clear understanding.

"The envoys of the ten nations, I have ordered them to evacuate.

So now, what we need is to start as soon as possible, speed up the march, catch up with the Xiongnu before they reach Dongqiemi, and destroy some of the ten countries first.

Later, in the Gobi on the north side of the western side of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains, a great battle was launched with the Xiongnu. They must be defeated and the Huns' army cannot be allowed to enter the Western Regions. "

Huo Shan just talked about his own purpose, and didn't talk about other issues.

Because of these things, he felt that there was no need to say them, and saying them would add some pressure to the generals. This was something he needed to consider. They just wanted to fight.

For example, you must never let the Huns enter the Western Regions. Once the Huns are allowed to enter the Western Regions, the harm will be too great.

Because Huo Shan didn't know the situation, he didn't know how many countries in the Western Regions the Xiongnu had won over.

Once the Huns entered the Western Regions and gained momentum, many countries may fall to the Huns, and the Huns will become stronger and stronger.

And because of this situation, it is not only necessary to resist the Xiongnu and prevent them from entering the hinterland of the Western Regions, but also to defeat them directly and not fall into a stalemate.

If once in a stalemate, the Xiongnu colluded with several countries in the Western Regions, it may cause the army he led to fall into a situation where the enemy was attacked from both sides.

If you fall into such a situation, then the trouble is really big.

Therefore, it is necessary to act quickly and destroy the Xiongnu army first.

Then slowly clean up the bunch of idiots in the Western Regions.

Without the leader of the Xiongnu, although the overall strength of the Western Regions is strong, under Huo Shan's hands, they can easily do whatever they want.

Therefore, only a few people such as Huo Shan, Zhang Anshi, and Lu Bode can see the current situation clearly. It is very dangerous and stressful.

The others were full of interest and very excited, because the big battle was coming, and in their view, with Huo Shan around, it was equivalent to the achievement of the battle.

Huo Shan didn't intend to tell them, nor did he have the desire to suppress them.

The Qiang needed pressure because he was uneasy, and the generals naturally didn't need it.

Looking at them smiling at the moment, their faces full of indifference, it seems that they look down on the enemy and look down on the enemy very much.

But all these are appearances, and when they go to the battlefield, they will be replaced by another person.

And the reason will not be other, just because the enemy is the Huns.

Although they have Huo Shan as the commander-in-chief, the big man suffered less from the Xiongnu?
The losses that the big man suffered from the Huns can be said to be countless.

These generals, and even the generals below, never underestimated the Huns.

And because of Huo Shan, they are full of confidence, so after all, this is actually a good thing.

He is not afraid of the Huns, but he does not despise the Huns, and has a vigilant heart.

It's a little complicated to say, but that's it.

As for the soldiers under him, they never thought so much. Huo Shan knew that, as a general, the soldiers under him actually thought as little as possible.

It is enough to know that one side is invincible.

Although all the Huns surrendered under his command, Huo Shan had great confidence in them, because they now had a new identity from the inside out, the soldiers under the command of the champion Hou.

.........

Zhao Ponu glanced at everyone, then stood up and saluted, then grinned:

"The commander-in-chief just orders!"

Huo Shan thought for a while, feeling a little dumbfounded.

He doesn't know as much about his own side in this aspect as Zhao Poonu.

He didn't negotiate to lead the troops, but I ordered it, and you can do it.

Huo Shan himself will plan everything in advance, and he will discuss it with Zhang Anshi at most when planning.

This kind of situation is actually a bit bad, but this is a habit that Huo Shan has developed from the beginning.

In the first battle, he went deep alone, no one could discuss with him, and the people under him were still immature, so he could only plan and make decisions by himself.

In the second battle against the Qiang people, he was directly the commander-in-chief of the first army, and he was fighting against the Qiang people with ease, so there was no need for detailed planning.

However, Huo Shan also realized that this was bad, but it was not bad in other aspects, but bad for the people under his command.

In this situation, Huo Shan made a decision with his own words, and it was very easy to turn his subordinates into tool people, without the ability to be independent.

So when he gave the order, it was a little different from before.

I send you out and tell you what I need you to achieve. As for what you should do, I will explain a little bit, but basically you need to decide for yourself.

It won't be like before, with hand-in-hand arrangements, including several directions of attack, and how to surround the soldiers and horses. I will give you detailed arrangements.

All in all, compared to coaches like Wei Qing, Huo Shan has risen too fast. From the very beginning, everyone under his command could not keep up with his pace and had too little time to grow.

But compared with history, they have grown very fast.

In the battle of the Western Regions, Huo Shan was ready to train them well.

Of course, Huo Shan has no plans to change this model.

It is normal for the coach to make a decision with one word. This is the norm in this era. What Huo Shan needs to do is to let them learn and grow on their own, just like other coaches.

The difference is that in detail, they are arranged to fight wars with a high fault tolerance rate and give them opportunities.

They are all a group of amazingly talented people who, given the opportunity, grow very quickly.

But at this stage, they are not yet able to consider what Huo Shan needs to consider at this level, and it is not bad to bring their soldiers and horses well.

For Zhao Chongguo and Li Ling, Huo Shan directly raised them up this time and asked them to lead [-] troops.

What skills do they have now?

No!

But Huo Shan still gave it to them, assigned them capable generals and schools, just to make them familiar with how to lead a large army.

The big man is short of a general who sits on one side, and there is no time to train it slowly. In Huo Shan's heart, you bear the title of a genius, and you have to be worthy of this title.

But if you don't give them a chance, they will never grow up, so Huo Shan gave them a chance.

But next, their name is still the same, but the soldiers and horses under their personal command will not give them so much, ten thousand is almost the same.

Moreover, the two lieutenants under their command, a lieutenant of the Northern Army, are about [-] each, which is their real level at this stage.

The next battle is very important. It is not time for military training. If you want to train troops, the countries in the Western Regions have plenty of things to do. After this battle, they will also have plenty of time.

.........

"Okay, then I'll arrange it."

"Lu Bode, Wang Wei, I won't say more about the military households. We don't have enough intelligence, and we don't know if there are any enemies hiding in the dark.

If there is an enemy attack, you just stick to it. Food and grass are not a problem. There are many wells for water sources, and external poisoning of groundwater is unlikely.

With 16 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of military dependents, without an army of hundreds of thousands, you cannot be defeated, so I am still very relieved.

As for farming and other things, you can see for yourself. After the fifteenth, I will not care about it. You decide for yourself, and I will send you the information. "

"The last general takes orders!"

"The minister takes orders!"

Huo Shan nodded, he was very relieved of Lu Bode.

To let him lead so many people to attack, he does not have the ability, but let him lead so many people, food and grass, etc. are all right, Huo Shan is not as capable as him.

"Zhong Gan, prepare a month's supply of food, grass and water, bring more food, cattle and sheep, and logistical supplies, etc.

Bring all the bows and crossbows such as the god arm crossbow and the continuous crossbow, and bring [-]% of the crossbow arrows. There will be a lot of craftsmen here, and there will be hands. You can build them slowly.

Craftsmen keep [-]% for military use, and the rest will accompany the army. The same goes for the translators and guides Dunhuang found, and some special talents such as astronomy and land identification will also be brought along, so let's take [-]%!
The latter two are assigned to each army, and they will be dispatched according to the specific situation.

In this battle, there were [-] cavalry, more than [-] troops in the front, more than [-] troops in the rear, more than [-] Qiang troops, and Habayashi Huben and others.

Except for Yubayashi Huben and others who have five horses for one person, two war horses and three pack horses, the rest of the soldiers and horses are all one person and two horses. This time they brought a lot of horses, and the military households can keep a lot of them.

You should be able to select [-] horses for use. Wang Wei, you can build saddles and stirrups, and Lu Bode, you can train another [-] cavalry. "

Several people all stood up and bowed to accept orders.

After careful consideration, Huo Shan looked at the generals:
"I'll make detailed arrangements on the way to the conscription army. Now I'll make a general division, Zhao Puonu."

"The end is here."

"You lead [-] Qiang troops in the front, [-] Qiang cavalry as the vanguard, and you lead [-] Huangzhong with military craftsmen behind you, open roads in the mountains, bridges in the water, and open the way for the army.

Tomorrow, when the Qiang army is assembled, you can go straight away. I will catch up and lead the three armies to follow your army a hundred miles behind. "

"The last general takes orders!"

"The rest of the things remain the same. Zhao Chongguo, you lead the front army with [-] soldiers and horses first, one of the front army is in the lead, the second and third are the left and right wings, and I lead the Chinese army to accompany in the center.

Li Ling led the rear army of more than [-] soldiers and horses, and accompanied the front army a hundred miles away, sweeping away the rear and tail of the army and defending the rear. "

The two stood up and saluted:
"The last general takes orders!"

When the army walks, the distance between each other should be widened, this is to avoid the situation that they are all surrounded and there is no foreign aid.

For example, if the vanguard has an accident and is dragged in front, and the Chinese army is surrounded, the rear army can open up the trapped situation for the Chinese army outside and escape from the encirclement.

However, this distance should not be too large, so as not to lead to too far away, resulting in the situation that it is too late to rescue.

The distance of a hundred miles is just about the same distance in the current situation.

First of all, the number of soldiers and horses is large in three aspects. No matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy dispatches, it is impossible to destroy them in a short time.

Unless it is an ambush in a narrow terrain.

But this is impossible, the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, especially in this area, the Great Gobi Desert, except for the Tianshan Mountains, there is no place with narrow terrain.

As for some rift valleys, if Huo Shan's brain is not out of order, it is impossible for the army to enter.

So this distance is about fifty miles to two hundred miles, because it will change from time to time according to various conditions such as terrain.

At full speed, it can be reached in half a day, and if the combat power is preserved, it can be reached in one day. It just happens to be a suitable location.

And this endless terrain, coupled with the length of the army, spanned three to four hundred miles, directly surrounded them all.

So, marching is also very important, and there is a lot of knowledge.

Otherwise, why does Sun Tzu Bingma take so many pages to explain marching and setting up camp?
