Chapter 317 I'm Not As Good as He Wants (4.2K)

Hearing Zhang Anshi's swearing, Zhao Puonu who was sitting opposite immediately widened his eyes:
"What's the situation, show me quickly."

Zhang Anshi turned his body to the left very quickly, expressing his attitude that he hadn't finished watching.

After Zhang Anshi finished reading it, he handed the letter and Wang Shu to Zhao Puonu in a daze.

Zhao Puonu took a look, and couldn't help but swear, and then, like Zhang Anshi, he entered a state.

Seeing the reaction of these two people, the others felt itchy in their hearts and wanted to take a look at it, but after glancing at Huo Shan who was sitting above, they didn't dare.

Sima Qian didn't care about it because he was so careless. Just as he was about to get up and take it over to have a look, Huo Shan coughed.

"Tian Qianqiu, send it to His Royal Highness, and copy a copy for my uncle."

"The minister takes orders."

After Tian Qianqiu received his order, he walked out of the tent under the gaze of everyone.

The others were so itchy, Gongsun Jingsheng couldn't hold back and asked:

"Commander, what happened?"

Huo Shan turned his head to look at him, showing a bright smile:

"What happened? It's a big event. King Youguli has descended."

Everyone was taken aback, Sima Qian thought he heard it wrong, and asked tentatively:

"Great Governor, what did you say about King Youguli just now?"

Huo Shan looked at him and smiled, raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak.

It wasn't until this moment that the crowd realized that they couldn't sit still and stood up one after another. The whole big tent was like a water polo falling into a frying pan, and it was very lively.

Huo Shan understood this scene very well. When he learned that the Xiongnu had arrived and there were still 20 troops, not only he was under great pressure, but everyone else was the same.

It's just that most of the pressure was borne by him alone. After the others saw Huo Shan's confident expression, they didn't feel too much pressure in their hearts.

And Huo Shan's bright smile just now made them feel uneasy and formed a sympathy.

However, Huo Shan frowned and knocked on the table:
"quiet!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, then saluted and bowed, and returned to their seats one by one, but all of them were still flushed, and couldn't help it.

This news really made them a little unbelievable.

Sima Qian next to him asked involuntarily:
"Is this a real surrender or a fake surrender? Could it be a strategy used by the Huns?"

As soon as Sima Qian finished asking, everyone immediately stared at Huo Shan, but Huo Shan turned his head to look at Zhang Anshi.

"No, Shangguan Jie has already gone to the Xiongnu camp, and confirmed it with King Youguli face to face."

Just after Zhang Anshi finished speaking, Zhao Puonu on the opposite side laughed again and added:
"Haha, I haven't seen anyone who makes a false surrender and sends his tribal leader to the enemy. If it is a false surrender, how will he lead the troops?"

The crowd couldn't hold back, and laughed and talked again. Huo Shan didn't stop this time, letting them talk to their heart's content.

But they stopped after a while, because Liu Ju ran in, everyone didn't salute, but stood up, although they knew Liu Ju's identity.

As soon as Liu Ju ran in, he asked Huo Shan expectantly:

"Zihou, is this true?"

"Haha, of course this is true."

"Haha, that's great."

Then Liu Ju participated in the conversation of everyone.

After they had almost finished talking, Liu Ju looked at Huo Shan again and asked:

"Governor, what should we do next?"

"What do you think?"

"Naturally..."

Liu Ju blurted out and was about to say something, but stopped again.

"The governor is the commander-in-chief of the army, so naturally you are the main one."

Huo Shan rolled his eyes. On such an occasion, even if you speak, no one can say anything.

But Huo Shan already understood what he meant, and this sentence was really not suitable for him. Although he hid his identity, he was still the prince.

So Huo Shan stood up and said:

"Next, it is natural to withdraw."

Zhao Puonu came out to salute, and then asked:
"Then I will go to arrange the soldiers and horses. Dare I ask the governor, should we leave overnight tonight or tomorrow?"

Huo Shan looked at him puzzled:
"Where are you going?"

Zhao Ponu was also a little puzzled, he scratched his head:
"Qi Cheng, um, go back and surrender!"

Huo Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then frowned, licked his lips, looked at Zhao Puonu with his hips crossed and asked:
"Who told you that the Marquis is going back to surrender?"

Zhao Ponu shrank his neck, and Huo Shan continued to ask in a rhetorical tone:
"He, King Youguli, surrendered me to be a big man, and he still wants this Marquis to look for him?"

Zhao Puonu bowed his head and retreated silently. He realized that he had a problem. It was a bit too aggressive to do so, but he couldn't help himself.

"Governor, what should we do next?"

Huo Shan glanced at Tian Qianqiu who came in with Liu Ju, and said:

"Little Li, take out my battle report."

After a while, Xiao Lizi handed a notebook to Huo Shan, and then took a chair and placed it near Huo Shan.

Huo Shan returned to his seat and sat down, and the others also returned to their seats.

Huo Shan took the battle report book and military merit book handed over by Tian Qianqiu, flipped through it together with the battle report book and said:
"King Youguli of the Xiongnu came with nearly 26 enemies. Is this correct?"

Zhang Anshi and Tian Qianqiu arch their hands:

"I have no objection!"

Huo Shan nodded and said:

"26 people, a total of 20 troops, [-] logistics personnel, right?"

"I have no objection!"

"20 soldiers and horses, 16 soldiers and horses of the Huns, and [-] soldiers and horses of the various countries of the Huns.

Ten thousand troops were sent to Yiwu, where they were destroyed by Lu Bode.

When our army went to the territory of Cheshi country, plus the soldiers and horses that Li Ling destroyed in East Tianshan, there were more than [-] soldiers and horses in total? "

"Exactly."

"Li Ling also wiped out more than [-] Xiongnu and vassal soldiers on the north side of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains, and I destroyed more than [-] soldiers on the northern side of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains.

A few days ago, more than [-] people were beheaded and arrested on the west side of Dongqiemi, plus the [-] who came to block and flank, that's [-]. .

Adding in the 12 we killed here, it adds up to almost [-] in total.

That is to say, the Huns' logistics personnel are not counted. The Huns now have 20 soldiers and horses, plus some other battle losses, there are only about [-] left.

And there are only [-] people staying by King Youguli's side, whether the other soldiers can go back is also a question, I still have [-] troops nearby, so..."

Everyone was dumbfounded, it wasn't ignorance, but they were taken aback, even Liu Ju was the same, this unknowingly ate up half of the Huns!

"Zhiniang thief, no wonder King Youguli is about to surrender, but the general has a question in mind, can I ask the governor to clarify?"

Huo Shan didn't raise his head when he heard Zhao Puonu's voice, he just said in doubt:

"Ok?"

"Governor, according to what our army has learned from the ongoing war with the Huns, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses generally lose [-]% of their losses, and they can't bear it. My big Han soldiers and horses lose about [-]% of their troops, and they will be defeated. Or because the cavalry is higher.

Logically speaking, after losing 20 of the Huns' 12 soldiers and horses, they should panic, but now that they have lost [-], why don't they panic? "

Huo Shan raised his head when he heard this question, and smiled:

"Good question, but it's not that they didn't panic, there must be some, but we don't know.

As for why they have suffered such a large battle loss and have not yet been defeated, in my opinion, there are many reasons, why don't you tell me? "

Everyone nodded with their eyes shining, even Liu Ju was the same, this is precious knowledge, who would tell them this except Huo Shan!

However, if Liu Zheng wants to know, someone will tell him, but if you don't ask yourself, no one will tell them these things.

"Let's talk about the first point, the composition of the Huns' soldiers and horses. Do you know the composition of the Huns' soldiers and horses?"

Everyone else looked confused, only Zhang Anshi showed an expression of excitement.

"You have been fighting with them for so long, and you don't even know this?"

They really didn't know, because Huo Shan didn't tell them, but in their own view, no matter who they were, they were all enemies and would die by their swords, so there was no need to know too much.

Huo Shan was a little helpless:

"Okay, let me tell you about it.

The Huns had a total of 20 soldiers and horses, 11 belonged to the national army, [-] soldiers and horses from the tribe of King Youguli, and [-] soldiers and horses from the tribe of King Youguli.

Remember, this is very important. "

Everyone nodded solemnly, Huo Shancha leaned his hands on the back of the chair and continued:

"Let's start with the losses of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses step by step and the situation of the battle, and tell you a good story.

First of all, the [-] soldiers and horses who went to the Yiwu military households were wiped out by Lu Bode, but the [-] soldiers and horses did not have a great impact on the Huns.

First of all, the distance between these ten thousand soldiers and horses is too far, and second, to avoid panic, this news will only be circulated among the high-level Huns, and the soldiers will not know.

Coupled with the problem of the Xiongnu system, after my big man lost the partial army, the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army would be a little flustered, but for the soldiers and horses of the Huns, people from other tribes died, which had little impact on them.

This is also true for the five thousand that Li Ling killed when we went to Cheshi later, and the twenty thousand that we have here.

The [-] on our side, it is estimated that the news has not been sent back.

But for these five thousand, some of the Xiongnu's defeated soldiers we wiped out did not return to the camp. Only some of the soldiers defeated by Li Ling had an impact.

Let's count it as three thousand, so out of the thirty-five thousand, only three thousand has an impact on the Huns' army, and nothing else. "

Everyone nodded in a sudden realization. After what Huo Shan said, they really understood, and it was indeed the truth.

"As for the [-] that Li Ling wiped out afterwards, and the [-] that I wiped out, these were the battles that really had an impact on the Huns.

However, the Huns have 26 soldiers and horses. We only count them as soldiers, but for the soldiers of the Huns, as long as they are individuals, they are soldiers.

If the Xiongnu advertised, 30, 50, then in their minds, they would feel that they had so many soldiers and horses, and these numbers would have a great morale bonus for them.

In front of 30 soldiers and horses, 10,000 soldiers and horses are just sprinkling water, they will think that it is only [-], and we still have [-]+.

So there is an impact, but not much. "

What Huo Shan said was very easy to understand, they could all understand, and they also had a guess in their minds about what Huo Shan was going to say later.

"The next thing I want to talk about is the battle situation. Everyone knows that the Xiongnu used a strategy to lure the enemy deep.

There are [-] in the north of Dongqiemi, [-] in the middle, [-] in the south, and nearly [-] in the west. In this way, the distance between the soldiers and horses is widened.

It is still the same reason, our two armies launched an attack on the Xiongnu in the west, beheaded and captured [-] in the first battle, and the other two groups did not get news at all in a short period of time.

And it didn't take long before this happened.

And even if they got the news, they probably wouldn't panic too much. "

Everyone is puzzled, what is this saying?
Huo Shan smiled faintly, and then said:

"Don't forget, I told you about the composition of the Xiongnu's soldiers and horses. King Youguli never sent his own soldiers and horses to the frontal battlefield.

Therefore, the [-] soldiers and horses of his own tribe are estimated to be in the north and south of Dongqimi, and there was no loss from the beginning.

As for the system based on the Huns, well, this statement is not easy for you to understand, let me tell you this.

You brought 20 soldiers and horses, 15 were Han cavalry, and [-] Huns surrendered or Qiang soldiers and horses.

Before your headquarters is undamaged, will your soldiers and horses panic, and will they be able to hold their ground? "

Gongsun Jingsheng hesitated and said:
"It should still have a very big impact."

"What about the loss combined with the previous situation?"

Zhao Ponu hurriedly spoke up:
"That will basically have no effect, because even if I know, the soldiers under my command don't know!"

Huo Shan nodded:
"So, in the future, when leading troops to fight, it is a good situation for the soldiers to not know about the heavy casualties of friendly troops, but the generals must know clearly, and will not let go of a single bit.

And on the battlefield, after you have achieved great results, don't keep silent, unless there are other arrangements, otherwise you have to spread the news vigorously, and make sure all the enemy soldiers know the news.

As for the others, slowly realize it! "

"By the way, from the Huns' battle situation in Dongqiemi, have you noticed anything?"

Everyone else was full of doubts. What's wrong with this battle? Only Zhang Anshi was frowning and thinking about something. Suddenly he raised his head:

"King Youguli has long thought of surrendering."

"Hahahaha!"

Huo Shan nodded after laughing.

"What's the explanation?"

Zhao Ponu looked at Zhang Anshi suspiciously.

"King Youguli sent his tribal and vassal troops to the west, but sent his own troops to the south and north where they were safe.

Doing so can consume the strength of his subordinates and make his surrender more smooth. It can also test the strength of our army and whether it is worth his surrender. By the way, he can test whether the governor can see the loopholes in his strategy.

In the end, these soldiers and horses are also the military exploits he gave us, and he has [-] soldiers and horses. After he votes for the big man, he will be strong enough and will have a good position. At the same time, he will also eliminate these tribes that will compete with him in the future, which may hinder him. tribe. "

Everyone was dumbfounded, this is a genius!
Huo Shan looked at the expressions of everyone, and said lightly:
"Whether he has this intention, just ask after seeing it, but whether he has this intention or not, I can't let him succeed.

He wants me to kill all these tribes, but I am not as good as he wants. A group of tribes that are hostile to him will only be of great use if they are kept.

Moreover, is there any difference between beheading and captives in terms of our military exploits? "

Everyone laughed, beheading, beheading and captive, not only is there not much difference between the two, but the captive is more successful than beheading!
