Chapter 335 Everything is Ready (4.1K)

At dusk that day, the entire Tianchi Lake was in full swing. The soldiers won the battle and won the credit. There will be meat to eat, what a joy!

Not only are they happy, everyone is happy, um, except for Jun Xumi and his ministers.

After two full hours of excitement, the soldiers fell asleep without hesitation, and had to go on their way tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the next day, the army began to set off in the southwest direction along the Tianchi Lake, preparing to join the soldiers and horses who marched west to send food and grass.

Wusun didn't bring much food and grass, and it was not easy to collect, so he brought some from Jun Xumi, and the tribes passing by on the way brought some.

In addition to the ones sent from Zhengxi, the [-] army is enough for two months, and when they go to Dawan, there is plenty of food and grass.

.........

On the tenth day of November, Huo Shan led the army and finally reached the mountain pass.

Originally, the distance was not close, and the mountain ranges along this section were very difficult to walk. It was considered good to be able to make it in ten days.

Huo Shan looked at the somewhat gray sky, and muttered:
"You must not come down, wait two more days, wait two more days, and come back after you have crossed the mountain pass, or you will not be able to pass through this moat."

After arriving at the mountain pass, the place was full of heat, people's voices were buzzing, and sheep were called and horses were called. Huo Shan brought an army of nearly [-] people to this place, adding luster to the excitement.

There are not only [-] soldiers from the west, [-] from Wusun, [-] from Huangzhong, and other countries in the Western Regions have also sent troops here.

The number of tribes is 40 in small countries, 200 in one, and 2000 in larger ones, and none of them exceeds [-].

But the quality is not high, and the quantity wins. When they are gathered together, there are more than 3 soldiers and nearly [-] soldiers.

Counting the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and Wusun, this is over 14, a total of [-] million soldiers and horses.

All the countries in the Western Regions had their own camps, which naturally became lively. Huo Shan led an army of 20, which was not so lively.

If he hadn't taken into account the champion of the big man, he might not be able to settle down.

They are all staying together at the moment, and there is no small enmity or grievance among these countries!

Huo Shan couldn't help but nodded, it's lively, the more lively the better!
He didn't rely on these soldiers to fight, he had [-] soldiers under his command, and they just followed along to join in the fun, and let them see the strength of the big man by the way.

Even if they really wanted to fight, Huo Shan wouldn't dare to send them!

A bunch of good and bad goods, it's not sure who will beat whoever is sent up.

So, in the current scene, the more lively the better!
The [-] army began to set up camp under the command of the generals. Of course, it was just a simple tent set up for one night, just make do with it.

There was no time to delay, Huo Shan saw that something was wrong with the weather, and he had to leave tomorrow.

If there is a heavy snowfall, it will be God's blessing to Dawan. With the champion Huo Shan in charge, there will be no disturbances, but it will be bad for morale.

The Huns in the Western Regions also depended on the sky to eat, and compared to the big men, they had too many superstitions.

In the current situation in the military, this set of rhetoric is too powerful.

What Huo Shan is looking forward to now is that when you cross the mountain pass, the snow will come down again, it will be wonderful.

It's been gloomy for several days, why didn't it fall? Just after entering Dawan, the snow fell on the other side of the mountain. There are many articles that can be done here.

Huo Shan in Dawan estimated that the snow would not fall for a while, and it would be much warmer there, and the climate would be different.

After setting up camp, Huo Shan immediately ordered:
"Go and call Cao Zong for me, and invite my uncle by the way."

"promise."

After a while, Cao Zong was called over, and Huo Shan immediately began to order:
"Tomorrow morning, leave food, grass and materials, and start returning with the army, the weather at the bottom of this mountain is too bad.

I reckon it will snow in these two days, so hurry up and return to Kucha with your soldiers and horses. The first snow is usually very thick, so don’t get trapped by it. "

Cao Zong nodded solemnly, expressing that he understood.

"Then go down and make arrangements, we brothers will see you next year."

"Then, Commander, take care."

When Huo Shan heard this, he almost choked, waved his hands and scolded with a smile:
"If you can't talk, don't talk, get out of here."

Cao Zong smiled foolishly, turned around and left, after he left, Huo Shan turned his head and asked Gongsun Jingsheng next to him:

"How about food and supplies?"

Gongsun Jingsheng, Huo Shan sent him here in advance on the way, to let him familiarize himself with the handling of grain and grass in advance, so Huo Shan naturally had to ask him about grain and grass.

Before Gongsun Jingsheng had time to speak, Huo Guang walked in. Seeing Huo Guang's appearance clearly, Huo Shan couldn't hold back his laughter.

He used to be so white and clean, but now his face is chapped and his whole body has turned darker. It seems that the wind in the South Road is not easy to blow!

Huo Shan didn't have any guilt or distress in his heart, only gloating.

Huo Guang hadn't seen Huo Shan for a long time. To be honest, he really missed him a little, but when he came in and saw Huo Shan's reaction, the feeling of longing in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he rolled his eyes angrily.

And looking at Huo Shan's appearance, he was very puzzled.

Your wind doesn't blow much less than mine, and the sun doesn't shine less than me. Why do I go away and come back?

After Huo Shan laughed, he got up and motioned for Huo Guang to sit down, lifted his hem and sat down, and said to Gongsun Jingsheng:

"You keep talking."

"Yes, in terms of food and grass, the food and grass for our army and Wusun's [-] soldiers and horses is not a problem, it is enough for seventy days, and it can last until the end of the year.

It is the [-] soldiers and horses of the countries in the Western Regions. The Food and Grass Minister roughly calculated that it may be enough for one month, and it may not be enough for one month. I am afraid that we need to help.

It's really that the countries in the Western Regions are too complicated, there is no beginning and no end, and there is not enough time. I really didn't come and plan carefully. "

As soon as Gongsun Jingsheng spoke, Huo Guang immediately added:

"I know this. Some countries in the Western Regions have more food and grass, and some have less food and grass, but the minimum will not be less than sixteen days.

On average, it is only 23 four days' dosage, which I controlled a bit, otherwise [-] days would not be enough. "

After Huo Guang finished speaking, he sighed. All the countries in the Western Regions are talented people. He has had a very difficult life during these days!
If it wasn't for Huo Shan's two victories in a row, he might not be able to control these guys who do their own thing.

The lords of the country are very respectful. Since Huo Shan's great victory, this is really nothing to say, but the generals who came this time, tsk tsk!
I don't know a single big character, I don't have much ability, and they all show off their might in the country, but they have a lot of temper.

Half of the generals of the countries in the Western Regions are nobles in the country, and the emperor is used to it, who can listen to it!
Huo Guang estimated that the only ones who could hold them down were Huo Shan and his generals.

As for where Huo Guang came to his conclusion, when these people talked about Huo Shan and the generals under his command, they were full of admiration, which is evident from this.

They knew the deeds of Huo Shan and the generals under Huo Shan's command very well. This was also thanks to the six thousand Huang Lieutenant Generals and his strong support behind them.

This group of people, Huo Guang can see clearly, they have two faces.

For the weak, you can't stand disobedience at all, but for the strong, if you just stare at me and yell at me, your face is still full of flattering smiles, and you still have an expression of contentment.

It is a perfect fit with their domestic atmosphere.

As for the soldiers of the Huang Lieutenant, they were all top fighters in the Western Regions. These Lieutenant Huang soldiers had never given this group of people a good face, but this group of people still liked to come over.

Especially when he heard about his brother and his nephew's deeds, the excited smile on his face was undisguised.

They are only a little calmer than those of several big countries, but their eyes are full of anticipation. After all, the opponents of the father and son, the Xiongnu, Hexi, and Qiang land, just hit their excitement.

The Xiongnu, the big brother who oppressed them, Hexi is connected to the Western Regions, and the Qiang land is next to the countries of the South Road. To them, the Qiang people are a pack of wolves.

So it's not really a surprise.

Huo Guang used this to see the big from the small, and to see the face from the point, and he has a deeper understanding of the Western Regions.

In this place, whoever has the biggest fist is the real big brother, the weak prey on the strong, and two faces are imprinted in their bones.

Huo Guang thought about it, and couldn't help but think of what kind of strategy the big man would implement against the Western Regions in the future, which would be more appropriate.

As for Huo Shan, he had already asked about other things. He had already seen the countries in the Western Regions clearly, and he didn't know what Huo Guang was thinking.

Huo Guang, even if his mind is distracted, you can't tell that he is thinking about something.

"How are the winter clothes prepared?"

This was the point that Huo Shan was most concerned about besides food and grass.

Don't worry about the six thousand feather forest tigers, they take them wherever they go, even in summer.

But the other soldiers under his command were different. The original soldiers of the Huns, when they set off from the big man, it was already spring, so they didn't bring winter clothes.

Needless to say, the new arrivals, they started much later than the big man.

So in winter, the army is facing a problem of keeping warm.

But simply Huo Shan also started preparations earlier, Qiuci gathered a batch, and Wusun also took a batch.

Huo Shan from Kucha asked Zhong Gan to send all of them here. The army that didn't go to Dawan could be made of sheepskin again, and it could be made of cat winter, but the [-] soldiers and horses could not.

Hearing this question, Gongsun Jingsheng laughed directly:

"Don't worry, the governor, there are just enough winter clothes. Although most of them are some unattractive sheepskin jackets, trousers, and cow and sheepskin boots, but fortunately, keeping warm is not a problem."

Huo Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled, okay, that's great.

Warm is enough, good-looking is useless, he Huo Shan doesn't care about these things, set up the banner, defeat the enemy, break the city, and the mighty domineering will come naturally.

His subordinates are all Huns, wearing sheepskin jackets one by one, it looks even more barbaric, and it shows Huo Shan's ability even more, doesn't it?
Huo Shan turned his head to look at Huo Guang.

"There is no problem with the countries in the Western Regions. I have informed them in advance. Although the countries have not been in war for a long time, they are at least obedient and have winter clothes with them."

Huo Tan nodded cheerfully:

"Uncle, I can rest assured."

Next, Huo Shan asked questions about water sources for logistics, cattle, sheep and horses, as well as about the soldiers' weapons, bows, and arrows.

Then naturally there is no problem, Huo Shan is full of comfort at the moment, he can't help sighing:

"This time in the battle of the Western Regions, Zhong Qian should be the leader!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, the generals were not there, even if they were, they would not refute.

There have never been any problems with logistics such as food and grass supplies, and even if there were, it would be a small problem that doesn't matter.

Everyone knows how important logistics is.

It wasn't until now that Huo Shan found out.

Although the food and grass are with the army, there is no need to arrange for civilian husbands to be transferred from other places. Zhong Gan also has many capable officials under his command, and the people under Huo Shan's command have also been helping.

However, Zhong Gan was able to arrange the food, grass, materials, cattle, sheep and horses of 20 people in an orderly manner without any major problems. Zhong Gan has a great ability!

But Huo Shan also knew in his heart that Zhong Qian seemed to have such a great ability, but it was only when he was by his side.

Let's not talk about the fact that there are a bunch of great talents to help.

How to march and what type of arms will have a great impact on the arrangement of food and grass, the difference between heaven and earth.

If they are all infantry, according to the usual rules of the big man, they will do logistics, pull people's husbands, and arrange the delivery of grain and grass to various places, let alone 20, I am afraid it is [-], and he does not have the ability to do [-].

Don't talk about comparing with people like Xiao He, it is simply incomparable existence.

It fell several grades, compared with Shen Ning and Wang Wei, he guessed it was inferior in this respect, because he had never been in contact with it.

When he was in Shaofu, he didn't do this. He entered Habayashi by relying on military law.

But since entering the battlefield, I don't know whether this path has gone wrong or right. Looking at it now, it is right and can no longer be right.

He was pushed up by Huo Shan, and he was forced to practice slowly.

But now, only Huo Shan can use him, and the group of generals under Huo Shan's command can also be partners, and their styles are very suitable.

If it's someone else, I'm afraid they won't be able to use it, even Wei Qing.

So this style is stuck, and has been bound to Huo Shan for the rest of his life.

But speaking of it, this is also his luck.

A small official in the Shaofu, and the deputy of the champion Hou, which is more important?

.........

"Okay, the food and supplies are all gone, Sun Shang."

"The end is here."

"Go and gather all the generals for me. We will enter Dawan tomorrow. The next marching route and offensive style need to be determined."

"promise."

Zhang Anshi, Huo Guang and others beside him also nodded.

"Indeed, it should be settled. Dawan is a little different from other countries in the Western Regions. There are many cities and several big cities. There must be changes in the fighting methods."

Huo Shan smiled at Huo Guang:
"Today is just a simple decision. After crossing the mountain pass, Da Yueshi and Kang Ju will wait there. After the alliance is over, we can decide on a strategy according to the situation.

Now let’s talk about the arrangement of our army, so that they will not be so wild, and they will rein in their temperament. Dawan has developed agriculture, and the combination of farming and nomadic, it is different from other Western Regions.

But a little Dawan can easily destroy it. I haven't used my magical weapon yet, and the craftsmen panic when they are idle. "

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of the scene of boulders flying all over the sky.
