Chapter 328 Eat on the Enemy

Chapter 328 Eat on the Enemy (4.1K)

Early the next morning, the generals followed Huo Shan to the camp in the first part of the town, and then went straight to the tent in the center.

After arriving here, Huo Shan asked people to raise all the curtains of the tent, and then everyone saw the grain, grass, gold and silver piled up in the tent.

There are in every tent, although it is not considered full, less than half, and the tent is not considered very large, but there are still a lot.

Huo Shan couldn't help laughing, and looked back at the generals:

"It seems that Benhou's words still have some effect!"

Zhao Chongguo's face was a bit ugly, no matter what, it was because he didn't control the soldiers under his command.

Zhao Chongguo immediately knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists:

"The final apology!"

Zhao Chongguo's five captains, Zhao Ponu and three captains also knelt on the ground together.

Not only the one directly under Zhao Chongguo's command, but also the other ministries are in the same situation.

Xixi Suosuo's footsteps didn't stop last night. Sitting in the tent, Zhao Puonu was so angry that he couldn't help but wanted to rush out many times, but was stopped by his personal guards to prevent him from committing an order of disrespect method.

Huo Shan ignored them, but looked at Cang Ye:
"let's start!"

Huo Shan didn't even need to make arrangements, he just needed to tell Cang Ye, and the wolves would naturally know what to do.

Huo Shan came here from time to time when he was in the Qiang land and during military training. They are very familiar with them and know what to do.

Cang Ye let out a howl of wolves, and the howls of wolves in the two armies responded one after another. The wolves started to move, and each wolf was followed by a dozen soldiers.

Huo Shan waited quietly. After waiting for about half an hour, all the generals knelt for half an hour. The soldiers and horses in Yancheng in the two armies were all inspected, and the knights ran over. More than 700 people lived there.

There must be someone who hasn't been found yet.

Huo Shan said after listening:
"These more than seven hundred people have clearly demonstrated the military law, and they will be executed.

That's all for today. Before the march in a few days, the Marquis will check again, and the generals must pass on the situation.

If there are any captures in the future, let them send them all up, and they can also record a credit, so as not to lose their lives.

This Marquis has never treated his soldiers badly. After the war, he will definitely reward them for their merits. The new soldiers can ask the old soldiers to see how the situation is. Do you understand? "

Those who kneeled raised their hands, and those who did not kneel bowed to salute:
"The last general takes orders!"

Huo Shan nodded, then looked at the kneeling crowd:
"Wait, let's take the blame and make meritorious service!"

Although it is normal for these Huns to store food, grass and goods privately, it is impossible to control them, and they cannot be blamed, but military laws must still be enforced.

The title of "delinquent crime and meritorious service" must still be given to them, otherwise what should the generals do if they really slack off in the future?
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Huo Shan raised his hand, and with the support of the person next to him, everyone stood up grinning.

Huo Shan turned his head to look at Cao Zong again:
"In this battle, Kucha was too weak. More than [-] enemies were killed, and the casualties were less than [-]. After counting more than [-] people, I went to Zhang Anshi to ask for the specific number, and dispatched capable troops from the Zhengxi Army to make up for the gap between the two armies. "

"The last general takes orders!"

"Qiang army and Zhenyu, pull out the camp, continue to sweep, return to the sword when you leave Kucha, don't accidentally injure other countries."

"The last general takes orders!"

After arranging the military maneuvers, Huo Shan took Zhang Anshi and Tian Qianqiu back to the Central Army, where Liu Ju and Sima Qian stayed.

Seeing Sima Qian, Huo Shan smiled and asked:

"How is your history book doing?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Sima Qian's face came out:

"Recently, I've been writing the biographies of the major countries and regions in the Western Regions chapter, and now I'm writing about the situation in Wusun. If the governor can win this battle, it will be another highlight."

Huo Shan nodded and said confidently:
"Then get your pen and ink ready!"

Everyone laughed, Wusun and the others didn’t pay attention to it, including Dawan, where the Huns’ 20 troops were wiped out, and Wusun’s nearly 19 troops were nothing, they couldn’t compare with the Huns.

What everyone was worried about was just the food and grass. Now that the food and grass have been greatly relieved, everyone is in a good mood, including Huo Shan.

Huo Shan clapped his hands and stopped everyone's next words:

"Wusun is still a bit difficult, Xiao Lizi brought the map over, let's discuss how to fight."

After the map was laid out, Zhang Anshi began to explain the situation again. Everyone had some understanding of the situation, but they still had to explain it every time, just to avoid confusion.

"Wusun has a large territory, but the territory is all on the north side of the East Tianshan Mountains, and our army is on the south side of the East Tianshan Mountains, which is not conducive to our army.

But the situation is not bad. The bustling places in Wusun are all located on the west side of the north side of the East Tianshan Mountain. The Tianshan Mountain in this location has a lot of ups and downs.

There are towering mountains, but there are many valleys and small plains, which are suitable for large troops to march. There are some wolves in our army. After a few days, Xiao Hei will come back, and he will not be afraid of getting lost or ambushing.

Therefore, if our army wants to cross the Eastern Tianshan Mountains and go deep into the hinterland of Wusun, it is relatively simple. After entering the hinterland of Wusun, Wusun will basically not be able to stop our army's attack.

The morale of the original soldiers of our army has never been worried. The new soldiers originally had a sense of resentment in their hearts, but now after the battle of Kucha, it has become full of morale.

The morale of our army is booming, and we are attacking Wusun with the power of destroying the Xiongnu. Wusun will be panicked and unstoppable, not to mention that the nobles in their country are also restless. "

Huo Shan nodded, he thought so too.

"By the way, there is no news from Wusun's nobles?"

"Back to the governor, not yet, but it is estimated that it will be today and tomorrow."

Hearing Tian Qianqiu's reply, Huo Shan said again:

"When the news comes, report it to me immediately."

Then Huo Shan looked at Zhang Anshi again:

"You keep talking."

"promise."

Zhang Anshi looked at the map and continued:

"The governor put the location of the camp in Wensu City, which is only a hundred miles away from Chigu City, the capital of Wusun.

If our army wants to attack Chigu, there are two ways to go. One is to go all the way along the valley road and the plain.

But on this road, Wusun will definitely defend himself.

The other road, along the tributary of the Yarkand River (Congling River), goes all the way to the northwest, and goes directly to Chigu City. This road is more than [-] miles away and is relatively safe. "

That's the basic situation. Huo Shan looked at the map and said nothing.

If you want to know where the prosperous area of ​​Wusun is, there is a large landmark lake to judge. This lake is Tianchi, which is the Issyk-Kul Lake in later generations.

To the east of Tianchi Lake and to the north of Tianshan Mountain, this large oasis along Tianshan Mountain is the prosperous area of ​​Wusun.

But Wusun's capital is not in this area, but on the south side of the East Tianshan Mountain, on the South Road, separated from Wusun's large sphere of influence by a Tianshan Mountain.

This looks very dangerous, and it is indeed very dangerous. If an enemy invades, then their capital will be in danger.

But it also depends on the situation in the Western Regions. The countries south of Wusun are all weaker than Wusun, and they are much weaker. They dare not attack Wusun.

But the Xiongnu attacked Wusun, without exception, they all came from the north. If they took the south road, the battle line would be stretched, and they would have to cross mountains and mountains.

And even if they want to come, they are here to grab cattle and sheep. The capital of Wusun has a lot of money, but there are very few cattle and sheep.

So if Huo Shan wants to fight, he still has to go to the north, he can't just fight a capital city and finish the job, he can't get anything!
Therefore, in such a situation, it is impossible for the Xiongnu to go to the South Road to attack the capital of Wusun.

And it is impossible for the big countries in the west to attack Wusun, first of all, the distance is too far.

Secondly, their land is much more fertile than Wusun. Even if they want to attack the territory, instead of going to the greener west, they will come to Wusun on the mountain. This is unreasonable!

So their capital city is quite suitable, and they can get money on the South Road.

The Xiongnu from the northeast came, and their great nobles could retreat to the capital city in the south to take advantage of natural dangers for defense.

As for the big men, they never appeared in their plans. Who would have thought that a country would attack them from thousands of miles away!
"Then you say, which path should our army take?"

As soon as Huo Shan finished asking, everyone said in unison:
"First."

Even Sima Qian is the same.

Huo Shan nodded with a smile. Naturally, it was the first way. The time is so tight, where is the time to detour!

As for the defense along the way, just go all the way.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Chigu City?"

"Back to the governor, the main soldiers and horses in Chigu City are the Lord Wusun, and the number of soldiers and horses is about [-]."

There are not many soldiers and horses, and their basic base is in the north. In the city to the south, [-] soldiers and horses are already a lot.

It is not appropriate to say that Chigu is the capital city. Although the Lord of Wusun lives here for more than half of the year, the palace is also here. After all, this place is prosperous!

But the tribes are all in the north, and the king's tent is also in the north. As for Wusun, there is a palace and a king's tent, which is normal.

As far as he knew, Jun Xu Mi was not here either, which was expected.

He has just come to power, and he will definitely sit in the tribe. There is no reason to go directly to the south to have fun. Jun Xumi is also a good king for Wusun.

"Twenty thousand soldiers and horses..."

Huo Shan muttered something, and Liu Ju suddenly asked:

"Zihou wants to attack by surprise, and take Chigu City directly before our army appears in front of their eyes?"

"I have this idea."

Wusun is bound to be vigilant about the arrival of the big man, but he will not be too vigilant.

First of all, Wusun himself is a big country. They have strength and are naturally very confident. They feel that the big man will not attack them at this time.

And the soldiers and horses of the big man headed west all the way, isn't this normal?

Go fight Dawan!
Moreover, Wusun and the Han are allies. It is estimated that except for the nobles that Huo Shan contacted, no one else would have thought that Huo Shan would fight Wusun, but they must have prepared some food and money, but not much.

After all, the news of Kucha's destruction has not yet spread.

So at this time, a surprise attack is easy to achieve, not to mention that Huo Shan sent the Zhenxi Army to Wensu in advance.

These [-] troops are all elites, not to mention the original soldiers and horses in the western part of the town.

The second division of Su Xian, the third division of Li Guangli, and the fourth division of the generals under King Youguli, all of them are soldiers and horses directly under King Youguli's command.

The real cavalry is the one directly under Li Ling, not to mention the other ones, the armor is probably not as luxurious as them, so the four are slightly weaker.

If he remembered correctly, the three pieces of equipment under Li Guangli's command were the best.

"Li Guangli is in Zhenxi, isn't he? If I remember correctly, he is leading the third department?"

"Go back to the governor, that's right."

"That line, order Li Ling to lead the soldiers to set up camp after he arrives in Wensu, and the army will stay there for a few days.

Let Li Guangli go to Chigu City, let him lead the third and fourth divisions of Zhenxi, and take down Chigu City for Benhou, and the credit will be given to him. "

Liu Ju disagrees somewhat:
"This, is Li Guangli competent?
If he is allowed to go, the [-] soldiers and horses under his command are not weak, but they are all cavalry of King Youguli, sturdy soldiers and horses, will he be able to suppress them?
And does he have the ability to lead [-] soldiers? "

Huo Shan laughed:
"Haha, it doesn't matter if he is competent or not, it's him anyway, if you don't try it, how will you know, you'll come out after a little practice.

As for whether he can be suppressed, Biao Shu should not underestimate him, there are also generals in the army, and there are generals under King Youguli to assist him, this person dare not disobey orders.

And don't forget, he bears the name of a general under the command of the Champion Hou. The younger he is, the more hopeful the Huns are. "

Liu Ju has never doubted this point. In the past few days, Zhao Chongguo, Li Ling and others, including Dong Ming, Fu Yu, Zhao Guan and others who have just been mentioned, are very curious about them.

People of a feather flock together, and things divide into groups. Although the Huns can't say this, they still know a little bit of truth.

This is the same reason that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. The champion is so powerful, and the generals under his command are looking forward to it.

I hope that I have followed someone who is more powerful, so that I can get more credit in the future.

So being young is not a problem, on the contrary, the younger they are, the happier their new recruits will be.

Being underestimated by the soldiers because of his youth, this kind of problem has never occurred under Huo Shan's command.

However, Liu Ju still hesitated:
"Then what if he can't attack?"

Huo Shan spread out his hands:
"Then we won't be able to attack. Once the army passes by, it will be fine, but Li Guangli's plan is settled. It's just a small Chigu City. Cousin doesn't have to worry about it.

The most urgent task now is to discuss how our army should attack after the army goes to the north.

Except for the [-] Zhengxi troops who did not move, and let them look at the food and grass, and slowly marched westward, the rest of the soldiers and horses, I was thinking of taking them all to the north. "

Liu Ju exclaimed:

"Nearly 15 troops, so many?"

"That's natural. Zhengxi took grain and grass all the way west, and then joined my uncle near Shule. We led the army to the north side, grabbed the grain, grass, cattle and sheep, discussed things, and then went southwest. After meeting Go to Dawan.

This time I went to feed the enemy in a hurry, how much food and grass can I save.

Let them sit quietly and walk slowly. It is better to move all the horses. If the horses run to death, they will get up. There are many horses in Wusun.

It is not impossible to grab more, plus our army's original, one man and two horses. "

Liu Ju nodded again and again, what he said was absolutely correct.
