Chapter 97: King Zuoguli (for subscription)

Huo Shan looked at the small tribe going away, and whispered:
"Xiao Hei left early, he should have sent the news to his uncle, but it's okay, just send it next time.

This time I was in a hurry to ask for credit, but I didn't expect this. I will have to wait a day in the future, and I have to write down this experience. "

After watching the small tribe go away, Huo Tan returned to his big tent and began to study the follow-up plan.

It’s fine if you don’t know, go directly to King Zuoxian’s department, but now that you know it, if you put such a big piece of meat in front of your eyes, you’ll be sorry if you don’t eat it!
Huo Shan made up his mind and prepared to give it a go.

'Our army has [-] troops, King Zuoguli usually has [-] troops in the royal court, and the tribe directly under him must have more than [-] troops.

If you give him time to convene, it should be more than [-], whether it is too much or not, let him count [-], twenty times, tsk tsk...'

Huo Shan felt a toothache.

But he was pushing too hard, not to mention other things, King Zuoguli wanted to gather [-] soldiers and horses, it would be impossible in a few months.

And how could Huo Shan let him summon soldiers.

So he thought about it, and prepared to adopt the national policy of the big man, first cut off your wings, and then kill you with one blow.

Wipe out all the small and medium-sized tribes around you, where do you gather soldiers?
So calculated in this way, in the end, the 1 directly subordinates are the real ones to face, and more than [-] of the [-] soldiers also need to be summoned, and they can't get together for a few days.

So what needs to be faced is only [-] to [-] riders.

Here is a question, except for Shan Yuting, the other ministries of the Xiongnu have no cities.

You can pull the tent dome and go, but you can't pull the city, so it is suitable for cavalry.

'Still based on [-] yuan, the five-fold difference is within the acceptable range, but this plan is not realistic!

It is impossible to clean up the surrounding tribes without battle damage, and it is also necessary to prevent the news from spreading. Small tribes are okay, but medium-sized accidents can happen at any time, and the difficulty is sky-high! '

Huo Shan rubbed his forehead, his head ached.

Therefore, Huo Shan had to change his original idea of ​​not accepting surrender.

If he is not surrendered, he will have no source of troops, and the Habayashi Army is reluctant to use them up.

As for whether someone would surrender, Huo Shan had never worried about this issue.

The chances of a large noble tribe surrendering are half and half. The example is right in front of you, King Kunxie and King Xiutu in the far Hexi.

These two kings were real kings at that time, with a population of more than [-] under their command, and they still occupied Hexi.

Let alone those who are far away, let’s talk about those who are in front of us. Captain Zuo’s status is not low.

He really wanted to surrender. As for whether he had the intention of killing Er Shanyu and sitting Shanyu, he probably still had it in his heart, but he certainly knew it was impossible.

The other kings don't just eat dry food. You, a captain of Zuo, want to be Shan Yu, so I give you two words, ha ha.

So Captain Zuo is a smart man.

The situation of the Han and the Xiongnu has been changed long ago. The Han is now at its peak, while the Xiongnu is gradually declining.

There are other examples of kings living a good life after surrendering to the big man. Well, at least it is a good life now.

So there is a high probability that he wanted to really vote for the Huns, and he killed Erdan for credit.

But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they have been successfully counter-killed in history.

And nobles with high status like these want to surrender, not to mention the oppressed tribes at the bottom.

Huo Shan suddenly remembered something, and immediately shouted out of the tent:

"Sun Shang, call Zhang Anshi over to me."

"promise."

After a while Zhang Anshi came:
"Captain, are you looking for me?"

Huo Shan leaned on the chair, pointed to the position below:
"Well, sit down first."

After Zhang Anshi came to his seat and sat down, Huo Shan beckoned again:

"Sit closer."

"promise."

Zhang Anshi changed his position again.

"The captain is looking for me. I don't know what to ask?"

Huo Shan pondered and asked:

"I remember that the Xiongnu held a ritual to sacrifice to heaven every year, right?"

Zhang Anshi was a little confused, but he still nodded and replied:
"There is such a ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, just like our Han people's New Year's Eve."

"Is it January, May and September?"

Zhang Anshi nodded again:
"Yes, the Captain remembers correctly, every year in March, May and September on the Tengu Day, the leaders of all the tribes will gather at the Moon God Temple in Shan Yuting, and under Shan Yu's leadership, they will worship the gods.

And every May is the most solemn time, not only to worship the gods, but also to worship the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, the ancestors and so on. "

When it came to the right time, Huo Shan quickly asked:

"When is Tengu Day in May this year?"

Zhang Anshi smiled. He really studied this because he was curious:
"Returning to the school captain, it happens to be the fifth day of May."

Huo Shan clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with excitement.

'Isn't this just a coincidence, that is, if King Zuoguli is really going to be attacked, it will probably take a lot of time!

Since the fifth day of May, the royal court of the Zuoguli King's Department is still unknown, but it is conservatively estimated that the distance from Shanyu Court is at least [-] miles, or even more than [-] miles.

Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that King Zuoguli will set off in mid-April, or even at the beginning of April, and it will take more than a month...'

Huo Shan's calculation was correct, because Zuo Guli King's Court was within the range of thousands of miles.

And this area is in the southeast of Shan Yuting, he is not due north or due east, the distance is relatively far.

According to this calculation, the time can be calculated only by knowing the location of Zuo Guli King's Court.

And how did Huo Shan know that King Zuoguli would definitely be in the royal court, not Shan Yuting?

Because Er Shanyu had succeeded to the throne for less than a year, and he was still young, only twelve, how could he put his uncles and grandfathers by his side, that would be asking for trouble.

It is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God off.

Huo Shan came back to his senses and found that Zhang Anshi was still there. He waved his hand:
"Go down and rest."

"Thank you Captain for your caring, and I will leave."

Zhang Anshi saluted and turned to leave without asking any further questions.

Zhang Anshi is such a smart person, Huo Shan must have some ideas when he asked this suddenly.

But he is a smart person, so Huo Shan would tell him when it was time to tell, and if he didn't want to tell what he asked, it was a taboo.

After Zhang Anshi left, Huo Shan leaned on the back of the chair, hugged his left elbow with his right hand, raised his left hand to pinch both cheeks, covered his mouth with his mouth, closed his eyes and fell asleep, lowered his head and began to think about plans.

'The affairs of King Zuoxian's department can't be missed, this is what they came here for.

As for Captain Zuo's matter, the time is not too tight, because Captain Zuo has been waiting for the big man to come to the army before he will launch the assassination, so he is waiting.

And this time, it is recorded in history that next year, the army led by Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao...'

Thinking of this, Huo Shan was suddenly stunned. Yes, according to historical records, Zhao Ponu was ambushed and trapped by the Xiongnu for three years because of this incident.

Captain Zuo should be fine with this matter, because he was also killed, but Lao Zhao was ambushed, could it be that Er Shanyu found out about this in advance? '

After Huo Shan thought about it for a while, he felt that it was very possible, he had to be more careful about this matter, it would be bad to bury himself in it.

Although Er Shanyu in history liked to fight and kill, he was cruel and unkind, which made the Huns panic, so Captain Zuo conspired to murder him.

But none of the famous people in history is simple.

It can be seen from several events in his historical records that have not yet happened.

The first thing is that this year Liu Che will send two envoys to the Shanyu tribe and Er Shanyu's uncle Youxianwang tribe in order to drive a wedge between the Huns and his ministers.

And what did King Youxian do?

He didn't even meet each other, and the two teams sent them to Er Shanyu together.

The historical records of King Youxian are not a simple person either. Er Shanyu died two years later, and then he became Shan Yu, and everyone was convinced that he beat Li Guangli.

It can be seen from this that Er Shanyu is still very prestigious in the Huns.

He also destroyed Lao Zhao's [-] cavalry, leading the troops himself.

Moreover, he also changed the national policy of the Xiongnu. The original main development direction was Shanggu and Shangjun of the Han Dynasty, one east and one middle school.

But after he came to power, he changed his strategy and focused his development on the Northwest and the Western Regions. Can you say he is a fool?
There is also such a part of the reason for the emptiness of Zuo Xianwang's department.

Huo Shan extremely suspected that he was hiding his clumsiness, and it was only because he was young that he was afraid that he would not be able to restrain others' self-protection.

I like to kill, don't mess with me, just like Cao Cao likes to kill in his dream.

The modern people of Cao Cao know that it is nonsense, but people of this era believe it.

Not to mention that Er Shanyu really killed people.

The more Huo Shan thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he had to be cautious.

But this matter came later, Huo Shan put him to the back of his mind first, and began to think about King Zuoxian and King Zuoguli.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven cannot be absent.

If King Zuo Guli set off in mid-April, there would be one and a half months left, and this one and a half months would be the time for Huo Shan to intervene.

He planned to remove King Zuoguli's wings in the east and south first, so that the news would not be exposed until it was exposed.

The reason why the west and north did not move was because he still had a plan to ambush King Zuoguli on his way to Shanyubu.

And after the west and north moved, he would find it on the way to Shanyubu.

And Huo Shan's worst plan was that he was discovered by King Zuoguli when he lost his wings, so he could only cut the mess quickly and see if he could capture the king.

If you can't catch it, then run. The original plan was to fight while running.

The most ideal state is of course that King Zuoguli didn't find out, then cut off half of his wings, then ambushed him halfway to death, and finally wiped out the rest.

Then he went straight to King Zuoxian's department. After dealing with King Zuoxian's department, he ran away directly. He had to think about whether he could go to Captain Zuo's side.

In fact, it is best to wait in place, investigate the situation, ambush first, and then sweep away the wings, but...

'Can't wait! '

Not to mention logistical problems, he couldn't stop. The longer he stopped, the weaker he would be, and he wouldn't be able to starve to death.

And if he doesn't lose his wings, and doesn't take down his soldiers, his strength is not enough.

With these 4000 people alone, how can they lay an ambush!

Being able to fight with a large force and to overwhelm others with a large force, Huo Shan was unwilling to win more with less.

Not to mention the heavy casualties, but the risks inside, if one step is wrong, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out.

The question comes to this point, why don't you bring more soldiers?
But with more soldiers, it is easier to be discovered.
