Chapter 337 Negligence (4.2K)

After listening to Huo Guang's words, Huo Shan thought about it, he was right, since he was already ready to do something, it would be better to be more direct, Huo Shan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then after we pass by, we will fight directly. The soldiers and horses on the other side of the mountain must be mainly Dawan, and our enemy is Dawan.

I didn't think about letting Dawan go, I must have done it, no, to be precise, I would destroy it.

Therefore, the previous negotiations are unnecessary. "

From the very beginning of his fight, Huo Shan never had the idea of ​​practicing etiquette before fighting against Dawan, or in other words, this idea never came up.

Da Yuezhi and Kangju, he had an attitude of wooing them, and after the fight was over, he would make things difficult and make the two countries hostile.

As for Dawan, in Huo Shan's mind, it was already the land of the great Han.

So hearing what Huo Guang said, he felt that it was absolutely right, and he overcomplicated things.

If you have absolute strength in your hands, then you have the initiative, and the soldiers and horses of the countries in the Western Regions, together with yourself, already occupy the righteousness, so there is no need to pretend to be a snake.

In terms of soldiers and horses, the 14 soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty are all elite cavalry, while the countries in the Western Regions still have [-] soldiers and horses, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

Although these [-] soldiers and horses are not strong enough, they are still soldiers and horses.

There are 14 to [-] troops on the opposite side, which is twice as many as the enemy. Even if the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the enemy and ours is equal, they can pile them up to death.

After Huo Shan nodded, the matter was settled.

Early in the morning of the next day, the army started to set off, and the countries in the Western Regions were slowly moving around. Huo Shan couldn't wait for them, so he put them behind.

But after walking for half a day, Huo Shan regretted that he didn't bring the Qiang army with him.

Because he ignored an important factor, that is the geographical problem. The terrain here is too high, and some soldiers in the army have already suffered from altitude sickness.

But anyway, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are roads, so it is not a problem for the army to walk.

Huo Shan frowned, looked at the mountains in the distance and sighed:

"This mountain is not easy to climb!"

"Zhang Anshi, how long do you think it will take to turn over?"

Zhang Anshi also frowned. After calculating the situation, he said:
"Going back to the governor, at the current speed, I'm afraid it will take at least five days."

Huo Shan licked his dry lips, Zhang Anshi's number just happened to be stuck in his mental preparation.

"Moreover, Commander, the plateau response of the soldiers did not just appear. After entering this plateau, the soldiers more or less have this symptom."

Huo Shan's face was very solemn, he was negligent about this matter.

After he and the Habayashi tigers around him entered this plateau, they didn't react at all.

Coupled with the fact that he was in a hurry and did not patrol the army on the way here, or he himself had developed some arrogance, which led to him not paying too much attention to this matter.

He couldn't help but be dignified about this matter, if one fails, all have to be explained here.

This is not an exaggeration at all. There are [-] soldiers in the army, in addition to the [-] soldiers from Yulin Huben, the [-] Huangzhong from the Guanyu Army, and the [-] Huangzhong from the Guanyu Army.

Except for the sixteen thousand soldiers and horses, the rest of the soldiers were Huns soldiers who had never been to the plateau, so suddenly, something might happen.

"How long have we been on this plateau?"

"Although there are many mountains in Wusun, and the terrain is extremely high, our army has been walking on the terrain.

If counting from entering this plateau, today is exactly six days. "

After hearing this, Huo Shan stopped on his horse by the side of the road, got off his horse, touched his chin and bowed his head, walking back and forth to weigh.

Just as Huo Shan was thinking, Huo Guang who was beside him looked at the passers-by, all of them blushing, short of breath, and the listless soldiers frowned and spoke:
"Governor, you can't go anymore!"

Huo Shan instantly raised his head and looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, unable to make a decision for a while.

Huo Guang gave Zhang Anshi a wink, Zhang Anshi nodded and expressed his point of view:

"The governor, the minister also agrees with Dr. Guanglu's proposal."

After Huo Shan heard it, he immediately expressed his opinion:
"Okay, then I won't go."

Then he turned to Tian Qianqiu:

"Order the whole army to stop marching and set up camp in place to rest."

Huo Shan has no way to deal with this situation. Altitude sickness is a natural disaster that cannot be described enough. Natural disasters can also be resisted by manpower. Altitude sickness, how to resist?

Therefore, in this situation, we can only rely on the soldiers to resist, but regarding this point, Huo Shan's thoughts are quite optimistic.

After the altitude sickness begins, the most critical time is the first three days to one week. Some people with weaker constitutions need two to three weeks.

But the physique of these soldiers is not weak at all.

Except for Huangzhong, most of the remaining [-] troops of the Guanyu Army were trained by Huo Shan. Although they have not been trained in this aspect, their physique is not weak.

As for the soldiers and horses of the Zhenyu Army, one is the same as the Guanyu Army, and [-]% of the other three are the most elite soldiers and horses under the command of King Youguli. weak.

And five days have passed, and there have been no large-scale casualties in the army, let alone large-scale, not even a hundred people a day.

So it can be seen from this that the soldiers are gradually adapting, and what they need now is a good rest, and at this time, Huo Shan feels that three days are about the same.

But Huo Shan happened to be short of these three days, and the celestial phenomena did not allow it, and God seemed to be a little bit embarrassing!

But Huo Shan couldn't ignore the lives of the soldiers, he had already decided to stop, so after Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi proposed, he agreed.

What he was thinking about was another thing. These soldiers and horses must stop, but the rest of the soldiers and horses cannot stop.

For example, Yulin Huben and Huangzhong, such as Wusun's [-] soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of these countries who are adapted to the plateau from the southern countries.

The march can be stopped, but only part of it, not all of it.

Once they all stop, the morale will be low, and the soldiers and horses of one's own side are not worried, but the soldiers and horses of the countries in the Western Regions will be restless.

And this snowy weather can't stop.

Originally, Huo Shan's idea was to turn over quickly while it was snowing, but now at this time, the stopped soldiers and horses could not run through the snow.

Therefore, it is necessary to leave soldiers and horses on the road ahead to clear the way and clear the snow.

When the snow falls on the plateau, the wind blows, the climate is suddenly cold, and the oxygen is thin. A thick layer can be accumulated overnight. If the road is blocked, it will really be trapped.

If there is no fire source, they will all be frozen to death.

So Huo Shan felt that three days was too long.

"Tian Qianqiu, you call the generals of the armies and the generals of the Western Regions to come here."

"The minister takes orders."

Huo Shan beckoned and knelt down:
"Come on, let's discuss it."

After several people gathered around, Huo Shan said:
"In the current situation, the soldiers must stop and rest. How long do you think is appropriate for this time?"

Liu Ju glanced at the soldiers not far away:
"How about five days?"

Huo Shan shook his head resolutely:

"No, our army doesn't have five days."

Huo Guang continued:

"Three days?"

Huo Shan still shook his head:

"Three days is too long."

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said:
"Great governor, half a day today, one day tomorrow, no less."

"Yes, just do as you say."

Huo Shan nodded directly, because he really wanted it, there was no way, the wind and snow on the plateau were merciless.

Then Huo Shan ignored Zhang Anshi's resentful eyes, turned his head and asked Huo Guang:
"Our army has [-] soldiers and horses that will not be affected, and Wusun's [-] will not be affected. How many countries are there in the Western Regions?"

"Thirty thousand."

Huo Guang blurted it out directly, as if he had guessed that Huo Shan would ask this question, so he had already made up his mind.

"These soldiers and horses can't stop, they have to keep walking, the snow is about to fall, I guess it will be around tomorrow night, or at noon the next day.

Once the snow fell, the road would be completely blocked. We did not carry much charcoal and wood. If we did not take action, the whole army would undoubtedly die.

Therefore, there must be soldiers and horses to open the way. At intervals, some soldiers and horses are left to clear the snow on the road and open the way for the follow-up army. "

After listening, Liu Ju asked a question:
"Why keep moving forward? Now that the situation is critical, why not retreat and fight for Dawan next year?"

Huo Shan sighed:

"I can't retreat, the arrow is on the string, I have to send it!
Don't talk about the rest, just talk about the most important points.

One, after this retreat, how will the countries of the Western Regions treat me as a big man?
The previous efforts may all collapse in one day.

Both, even if we retreat now, the countries in the Western Regions will definitely not be able to send them back home. Without Dawan's food and grass, are we really going to eat up Wusun?

What's more, if I don't finish dealing with Dawan's affairs this year, it will directly disrupt my follow-up plan in the Western Regions, which may trigger a chain reaction and also collapse.

Three, the theory of gods and ghosts! "

Liu Ju nodded repeatedly when he heard it before, but when he heard the third point, a puzzled expression immediately appeared on his face, as did Zhang Anshi and Huo Guang.

Zhang Anshi and Huo Guang thought of the previous two points from the very beginning, but they did not speak, but waited for Huo Shan to explain to Liu Ju.

This is because it is not easy for the two of them to say this, and it is always bad to refute the prince, but Huo Shan is fine, he is Liu Shi's master now.

With Huo Shan around, there was no need for the two of them to interrupt, and Huo Shan would not let them interrupt, lest he develop arrogance in front of Liu Ju.

This is very possible, Liu Zheng is gentle in nature and has soft ears.

But the third point that Huo Shan said, they really didn't understand.

Huo Shan looked at them like this and explained to them.

In ancient times, people basically held three views on altitude sickness. The first is the theory of poisoning, the second is the theory of miasma, and the third is the theory of ghosts and spirits, which offends the gods.

As for the first two, although they have appeared at this time, they have not yet become mainstream. Only the big man has a little market for miasma, but they have not yet become mainstream.

At this time, the mainstream is the theory that ghosts and gods are haunting and offending the gods, and in the Western Regions, this is all the theory.

After listening to Huo Shan's explanation, everyone understood that although they scoffed at this statement, because they had seen Huo Shan solve this problem with their own eyes, they didn't have the slightest solution in their hearts.

Only this point, Huo Shan can't retreat.

The theory of gods and ghosts is very common in the Western Regions and the Huns, and people agree with it very much. The big man is slightly better.

But it was only a little better when he entered the big man, but not much better.

It can be seen from one sentence that the great affairs of the country are only for sacrifices.

So once Huo Shan retreats, it will have a great impact on his prestige, and the countries in the Western Regions will also discuss it.

Although it can be made up, it will take root in their hearts.

As for cutting off rumors directly, it’s fine not to spread them, that’s impossible.

The mouth grows on the human body, how can you keep people from talking about it?

Killing doesn't work, the more you kill, the more marketable this argument is.

In this day and age, this situation is unavoidable.

Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang killed the White Snake Rebellion, but the Snake Sword was in Huo Shan's hands.

"How many miles to the top of the mountain?"

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Huo Shan hurriedly asked Zhang Anshi, and there was a big trouble in front of him, and it was not the time to chat about it being useless.

"Go back to the governor, and go over the mountain to the plain on the other side of the mountain. This place is about 270 miles away. The road on the side of the mountain is longer, and there are still 160 miles."

Huo Shan calculated in his mind that there was an army of [-] on the other side of the mountain, and the [-] soldiers and horses set off first.

The [-] soldiers of our own side and the [-] Wusun soldiers and horses cannot move lightly. These soldiers and horses are powerful. If they go there first, they will have to deal with the [-] troops.

But thirty-six thousand is enough, because Huo Shan is going to go by himself.

So there are still [-] soldiers and horses left.

On this side of the mountain, when the snow falls, it will definitely be bigger than that on the other side of the mountain. Therefore, for the 160-mile journey, 100 people in one mile, and 1000 people in shifts for cleaning, ten miles, a total of [-] people are needed.

There are 110 soldiers and horses left, responsible for the [-]-mile journey on the other side of the mountain, which is enough.

Huo Shan made a decision in his heart.

The three of them looked at Huo Shan's expressionless face, didn't say much, and waited quietly.

What needs to be said has been said, and what needs to be analyzed has also been analyzed. Now is not the time for them to speak, nor should they speak.

The next step is to see what the decision of the coach Huo Shan is, they just obey it unconditionally.

The generals came earlier than the generals from the Western Regions, and when they were all gathered, Huo Shan made arrangements without saying why.

The reason can be said on the road, there are too many soldiers and horses, and the stretch is very long. The soldiers and horses must be gathered today, even overnight.

"Zhong Gan, it will take half a day to prepare food and grass for the [-] army for ten days.

Zhao Puonu, transferred the four thousand Huangzhong from the Guanyu Army, and combined them with the remaining six thousand Huangzhong.

Then lead the soldiers and horses to collect the food and grass, and go to the front of the army. When the Marquis comes over, Shangguan Jie, you also go together, go. "

"The last general takes orders."

Without saying a word, the two turned around and left.

General, Huo Shan is going to take only these two, these two are enough, Sun Shang does not count.

Then Huo Shan said to Zhao Chongguo and Huo Guang:

"Leave the resting soldiers and horses, mainly Zhao Chongguo and supplemented by Huo Guang. They can set off early in the morning."

"The last general takes orders."

"The minister takes orders!"

Huo Shan made the arrangements so simply, there was no need to arrange too much, he would explain the soldiers and horses he wanted to bring, and Huo Guang who didn't bring them also knew the details.

As for what to do when the countries from the Western Regions come later, that's simple.

In the current situation, the soldiers and horses of the countries in the Western Regions are all bound to Huo Shan.

Huo Shan's [-] soldiers and horses are here, and they will all die, so they will be very good.

As for them retreating and not participating, give them ten guts, would they dare?
