Hanbo

Chapter 304 Divide the Army into Two Ways (4.1K)

Then it was our map's turn to appear again. Everyone stood up in a tacit understanding and moved to the side of the map.

Huo Shan was playing the flute in his hand, and said:
"How will this battle be fought? In the final analysis, it is similar to the time we went to the Huns, and the battlefield is the entire Western Region!"

"The enemy's soldiers and horses are twice as powerful as mine, so we can't fight recklessly. Even if we win by fighting, it will be a miserable victory, and Dawan still needs to be dealt with afterwards.

What I want is not a tragic victory, but a big victory, a big victory that can stand out in the annals of history, and I want everyone present to be famous in history! "

Huo Shan's words made everyone's blood boil.

Everyone here has never doubted whether this battle can be won. Everyone knows that after Huo Shan said this, this battle will definitely be won!

They have more confidence in Huo Shan than in himself, and they are also convinced that Huo Shan's famous statement can be done.

Huo Shan also had a face full of confidence, even a commander like him didn't have confidence, how could he make the generals and soldiers have confidence?
"It's hard for me to say exactly how this battle will be fought at the moment, even if it is arranged for you now, it is all false.

You only need to do one thing, lead the troops and perfectly execute the tasks I entrusted to you.

In this battle, I want to end the battle within one month, and my own casualties cannot exceed [-]! "

Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't say anything.

The battle ends in January, and it is reasonable to ask that the casualties of one's own side are less than [-], which is okay!

As for tactics, Huo Shan didn't think about arranging tactics, what Huo Shan said was indeed from his heart, and the tactics he arranged at this time were all false.

He is going to attack the Xiongnu relying on his foresight, invincible intelligence, equipment and speed advantages.

The battlefield is the entire Western Region. In this case, there is no need to arrange these things. Just adapt to the situation and highlight a flexible one.

Huo Shan is also very confident. I really can't beat you head-on, but now I have changed my strategy, so I will win!
As for the one-month deadline, this is the highest standard set by Huo Shan, if it exceeds it, it will be exceeded!

As for the casualties below [-], it is a bit difficult, but it is not too great.

As for why Huo Shan didn't use this strategy in the first place, isn't that too confident? He thought he could take the Xiongnu by force, but fortunately he reacted, and it's not too late now!

"Twenty today, marching starts tomorrow, let's go west, the farther west the better.

In the west of the town, the second army of the town area, with a total of 6 horses, walked westward on the north side of Beishan. The distance between the six armies must be at least a hundred miles or more. "

Beishan can actually be regarded as a part of the Tianshan Mountains, and Beishan in the Western Regions actually has two places, just like the Tianshan Mountains are divided into two parts.

The former is a place slightly east of the south of Dongqiemi, and there is an east-west mountain range, in the middle of the East Tianshan and West Tianshan.

And the other Beishan, located at the west end of the West Tianshan Mountain, is almost almost to Dawan and other places.

It can also be understood that the two northern mountains sandwich the Western Tianshan Mountains.

The name Beishan was actually chosen by the Han people. The origin of the name is because of a road that the Han people went to the Western Regions, called Beidao.

Offshore and surrounding countries, as well as Gumo and Kucha, are all on this road, so the mountain range on the north side of the North Road is called Beishan.

And if there is a North Road, there will naturally be a South Road, and the South Road is also very obvious, running side by side with the North Road, one south and one north.

Starting from Loulan, proceed along the north side of the plateau all the way to Central Asia in the Western Regions. This road is called the South Road.

But Huo Shan asked them to go forward on the north side of Beishan, and the two armies did not need to cross mountains and ridges to go to the south side.

Starting directly from East Qiemi and heading west, within two hundred miles, you will be able to reach the territory of Wusun Kingdom.

Wusun's territory, Huo Shan thinks, should be the largest in the Western Regions, but most of their people are in the west of the border, and there are not many people in the east.

Huo Shan sent the two armies forward to the territory of Wusun Kingdom in order to force Wusun to participate in the battle and test their attitude.

It doesn't matter to Huo Shan whether they vote for the big Han or the Xiongnu. In the current situation, he only needs to make the Western Regions as chaotic as possible.

And once they join the battle, they won't be able to stop.

Huo Shan felt that if Wusun had a discerning eye, he would probably lean towards the Western Regions.

But they also have several other options.

One is naturally to vote for the Huns.

One is to be a coward, if you want to hit you, it doesn't matter even if you are in my house, I just pretend I didn't see it.

Finally, there is another possibility, that is to unite with other countries in the Western Regions and then join the war, but this situation is impossible.

If they had this ability, then the Huns and big Han would not be able to enter the Western Regions.

As for Wusun not choosing a big man, it doesn't matter to Huo Shan, the two armies can't stay in Wusun for long, half a month at most.

Moreover, Huo Shan also had preparations.

"I will take Yubayashi Huben and Guan Yujun over the North Mountain to the south side."

This is his second-hand preparation, he is going to "coach and woo" the countries of the Western Regions.

The real gathering place of Wusun is more than a thousand miles away to the east. Although there are several small countries on the north side, they are relatively barren.

But the Xiongnu didn't have much food and grass. As long as he controlled the countries in the Western Regions and cut off the connection between the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, the Xiongnu would be the one who was anxious.

The more troops you have, the more anxious you are, and the longer you wait, the more flustered you are.

What Huo Shan said before to control the war to end within a month also has this consideration in mind.

Without the supplies from the countries in the Western Regions, they would not be able to survive for a month just relying on the food, grass, cattle and sheep they carried.

Unless they are willing to kill horses, then Huo Shan will be even happier. He can do no harm and let you kill slowly.

This is determined by their characteristics. It is their rule of conduct to fight a wave and leave.

Huo Shan was sure of this point, so from the beginning, he didn't pay much attention to these Huns, he only thought that they were here to send meritorious service.

Huo Shan initially wanted to keep the Xiongnu out of the Western Regions, and this aspect also played a large role.

But it's okay now, just cut off the contact, Dongqimi and other countries can't make up much, and they have almost been searched by their own side.

As for the current situation, there is a reason why Huo Shan had two fronts and placed large-scale troops on the north side instead of on the south side where there are many countries and many big countries.

Putting the two armies of Zhenxi and Zhenyu on the north side, apart from Huo Shan intentionally placing the battlefield in the territory of Wusun Kingdom on the north side to find trouble for them, there is also a reason for blocking the way of the Xiongnu.

This also has a certain relationship with the terrain. The terrain on the north side is flat, with a flat river, which can directly reach the hinterland of the Western Regions. On the south side, you have to climb the mountains first. After you come here, there are many rivers, so it is not easy to walk.

Of course, this is not so easy to walk compared to the south side.

Huo Shan was also a little worried that they would rush over, win over Wusun, and head directly to Dawan's territory.

That would be the end of the calf, his plan to attack the Western Regions came to an end without a problem, and this trip would be considered a waste of time, a big loss.

The Xiongnu has an army of 10,000+, a population of 10,000+, plus the two big countries of Wusun and Dawan, with countless food and grass, how can they fight?
Therefore, the north side must be heavily guarded, and if the [-] army is not destroyed, the Huns will not dare to come to the south side.

Because they are also afraid of being blocked and losing the basic land of Dongqiemi, two horses with 10,000+ people, and cattle and sheep, which requires a large pasture.

What should I do if I was attacked while crossing the mountain, and the north and the south were attacked?
What should I do if there is no pasture?
So all in all, it is necessary to put a large number of soldiers and horses on the north side!
As for this strategic issue, Huo Shan didn't want to say more about it, because it's useless and useless.

At this stage, they only need to bring good soldiers and horses, train well how to fight, and be his tools.

Now if I tell them all at once, they can't understand it. It's better to let them understand while playing, and the impression will be more profound.

And if the situation changes and it is different from what you said, wouldn't Huo Shan be ashamed?
"Okay, let's do this for now, Zhong Gan will be in charge of the logistics of the two armies, as long as I have Gongsun Jingsheng on my side!

I have confidence in my vision, and all of you who can gather around me are all great talents, and I have confidence in you.

If you see an opportunity and make up your mind to do it boldly, I have my back, so don’t be afraid. "

Everyone was so moved, it was a great blessing in their lives to meet such a good coach!
If it hadn't been for Huo Shan not being troublesome, they would have already paid homage to Huo Shan's sect, called Huo Shan their lord, and became Huo Shan's servants!

"It's just that before you do it, don't forget to send me and each other a message so that we can prepare!"

Although Huo Shan said it in a joking tone, everyone understood the meaning of Huo Shan's words.

In short, the meaning is to give you autonomy. In special situations, you can choose to make decisions yourself, but you still have to focus on the overall situation.

Give each other a message, be prepared, and if something happens, others will have a response.

"Okay, I will let Xiao Hei come and go once a day, and be sure to report the situation to me in detail every day. I need to use this information to respond."

"promise!"

"Let's go, let's go down and get ready!"

The generals turned and left, and Zhong Gan also went to handle the logistics, but Liu Ju, Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi, Tian Qianqiu, and Sima Qian all stayed behind.

The next step is to talk about the strategy. Huo Shan did not discuss this operation with everyone, so now he is going to explain to a few people, check for gaps and make up for the omissions.

As for Sima Qian, he was the one who recorded it. For such an important event, Tian Qianqiu had to be busy with diplomatic documents and other things, so this matter naturally fell on his head.

Huo Shan first asked Xiang Tian Qianqiu:
"Is there a letter from all the countries?"

"Back to the governor, Wusun, Gumo, Qiuci, and Wensu haven't replied yet, and the other three countries have all sent letters."

Zhang Anshi next to him made a conversation:

"The distances between these countries are quite far. It is estimated that they still need to discuss it. It is normal that there is no letter."

Huo Guang next to him said lightly:

"I'm afraid that we won't be able to wait until this reply arrives at their door."

Huo Shan waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter. I didn't expect anything from them. When we get to their door, we can't let them go. What about the other three countries?"

"Back to the governor, the Shan Kingdom, the Weixu Kingdom, and the Yanqi Kingdom all replied in the affirmative."

Huo Shan smiled, this is good news!
"Send an order to Cao Zong to send a thousand soldiers and horses to join the Shan Kingdom and destroy the Shanshan tribe.

Then send a letter to Weixu and Yanqi, asking them to transfer their soldiers and horses to wait, saying that the Marquis will come soon. "

After dealing with the affairs of these countries, Tai Huo Shan then told everyone about his strategy.

In fact, Zhang Anshi and Huo Guang had some guesses in their minds when Huo Shan started making arrangements.

But after listening to Huo Shan's explanation, the two were still very shocked. They really didn't expect Huo Shan to be so bold.

As for Liu Shi, Sima Qian, and Tian Qianqiu, if Huo Shan didn't talk about the three of them, they wouldn't be able to understand at all.

Especially Sima Qian, it is estimated that he may not be able to understand after the war is over!

It's really not that Huo Shan looks down on them, but that the gap is there.

In this regard, most of the players are talented, some people can play well, and some people can't think of a way!
After thinking for a while, Huo Guang frowned and said:
"The risk is too great. The [-] soldiers and horses in Zhenxi Township are on the north side of Tianshan Mountain. If Wusun joins the Xiongnu and attacks from both sides, then..."

Huo Shan smiled lightly, and said the worst plan in his mind:
"I'm betting that they don't dare, that their sloppy thinking goes deep into their bones.

And I'm not unprepared, even if Jun Xumi is very ambitious and really votes for the Huns, the envoys I send are not just for nothing. "

Liu Ju stared with big curious eyes:

"How do you say that?"

Huo Shan smiled at him:
"The Wusun country is not monolithic either!"

Speaking of this, everyone will understand.

It's a very simple thing, and it's easy to understand. Wusun is not monolithic, which means that the big man can intervene in it.

If you, Jun Xumi, are going to join the Xiongnu, then someone will come out and sing the opposite.

As for why he sang the opposite tune, he was won over by the big man. As for how he was won over, is Wusun the leader of the country enough?
A blank check is the easiest to open!
"Besides, with Xiao Hei around, even if Wusun and the Huns surround our army, we won't be afraid, they won't be able to surround us.

As long as he dares to vote for the Xiongnu and then come to attack our army, I can let these [-] soldiers directly attack the capital of Wusun and turn the capital of Wusun into a piece of scorched earth. "

A sneer appeared on Huo Shan's face, he lifted the table, as if no one knew how to do it, at worst, he would smash this Western Region to pieces!

Let all the countries in the Western Regions participate in the war, make the entire Western Regions into a mess, and win in the chaos, that is my specialty!
When Huo Shan said this, everyone expressed no objection.

The risks Huo Guang mentioned were mainly those on Wusun's side. As for other places, the risks were not that great.

For example, on the south side where Huo Shan is going, in Huo Guang's view, there are feathered forests and tigers. It doesn't matter if you come with an army of tens of thousands, and you can't threaten your own side!
So, the matter is settled like this, as for the subsequent strategy, let's watch as we go!
