The heavens start from saving Daming

"It's a nice day today."

Outside Yanmen Pass, Dongfang Shuo yawned and admired the beautiful weather outside the Great Wall.

The people who were waiting outside the tent immediately gathered around and stuffed the memorials in their hands into Dongfang Shuo's arms.

In just a short time, Dongfang Shuo was already filled with hundreds of memorials.

He didn't talk nonsense, said hello to everyone, and entered the big tent with the memorial in his arms.

In addition to the heavily armed Weiyang palace guards, there were only a few senior officials who were valued by Li Yunze in the big tent.

Putting the memorial on the table, Dongfang Shuo stretched out and said, "You guys can do whatever you want. I'll go get some sleep."

Seeing that Dongfang Shuo actually went to sleep in the back tent, the officials also looked at each other.

In the unspeakable silence, Sang Hongyang coughed and said, "Everyone, let's get started."

Everyone responded one after another, stepped forward and picked up a pile of memorials, then each looked for the case and began to deal with it.

As for where the emperor is, he's not here anyway.

The emperor went on an expedition, while the prince Liu Xiu stayed in Chang'an City to supervise the country, and the prime minister Fu Yan assisted in state affairs.

However, there will still be a large number of memorials coming to those outside Yanmen Pass, and naturally they need to be dealt with.

What these officials who were left behind by Li Yunze had to do was to deal with these memorials.

At the same time, Dongfang Shuo, who was in charge of this matter, simply pushed the matter to Sang Hongyang, who had recently started to take the lead. It was also a kind of test and training.

It just depends on whether Sang Hongyang is interested in him or not.

The Emperor is not outside Yanmen Pass, this place was originally a bait.

If the Huns were fooled, it would be best to come directly to a center to bloom.

It doesn't matter if you are not fooled. If you are standing here, you will naturally be the backbone of the army going out.

As for where Li Yunze was, of course he was in Huo Qubing's army.

"You don't have to come to ask for orders for everything."

In a camp thousands of miles away, Li Yunze, who was sitting on a horse, waved his hand and signaled to Huo Qubing, "I will be out here, and I will not accept your fate. You can fight as you want, don't ask, you just don't know. I just don't know." Follow those who came to observe and do your own thing."

Huo Qubing breathed a sigh of relief, saluted and turned to leave.

After Huo Qubing left, Li Yunze thought for a while and called the accompanying Lang Guan, "Su Wu."

"The minister is here."

"Where did Sima Xiangru go? Ask him to come back and write something."

"Here!"

After saluting, the young Su Wu got out of the tent, showed his ID card, and searched for Sima Xiangru's traces in the camp.

Now he is in the army, or he is out in the army.

If you don't bring your identity card, Army Sima can chop him down if he catches it.

This is military law, and the emperor can't say much.

Following the emperor's expedition outside the Great Wall, Su Wu, who was agitated, wandered around but could not find any trace of Sima Xiangru. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask anyone he saw.

"Well-wishers"

Facts have proved that there are still good-hearted people in the military camp where martial arts is strong.

Someone showed Su Wu the way, and it turned out that Sima Xiangru had gone out of the camp.

In military camps outside during wartime, if a sergeant wants to leave the camp, he must have a military order. If not, only the body can go out, and the head must stay.

The only people who could enter and leave the military camp at this time were the officials around them, because the army had no control over them.

Of course, if the emperor knew about it, there would definitely be no good results.

Su Wu, who came out of the camp with his ID card, found Sima Xiangru who was in a daze by an unknown river only a mile away from the camp.

"Sima Langzhong, why are you here?"

Sitting on the bank of the river, Sima Xiangru, who was clearly in deep thought, raised his head, "It's Su Wu. It's nothing, I'm just restless, so come out to relax."

Young Su Wu asked curiously, "Why is this?"

In his opinion, a doctor who can stay with the emperor for a long time, or even write edicts for the emperor, should be very happy. Why is there irritability?

"A certain person has been in Chang'an City for 20 years, and finally passed the national examination to enter the imperial court, but after 20 years, he is still a Langguan"

This topic was really difficult for Su Wu to talk to.

Those who can serve as Langguan around the emperor are all young talents. After a few years of learning experience, they will be sent to work in various places. Basically, they start as county magistrates.

The only exception is Sima Xiangru.

He has been working as a secretary for the emperor for almost 20 years, and he is the only one among the big men.

Su Wu could feel Sima Xiangru's sadness, but he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Mr. Sima, the emperor ordered someone to come here to find me, saying that he had a decree to write."

"Ah!?" Sima Xiangru, who was still grieving for spring and autumn, jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"Neither did you." Before Su Wu could finish his words, Sima Xiangru ran towards the military camp like a gust of wind, which shocked the fire-headed soldiers who came to fetch water, thinking that something had happened. .Su Wu could only spit out the last word ".ask."

Sima Xiangru hurriedly returned to the big tent. Fortunately, Li Yunze wrote a letter in a hurry and did not punish him.

"Write a letter to Wei Qing and tell him that Huo Qubing may delay his trip and be unable to arrive on time to cooperate with the siege of Yizhixie. Let him think carefully about how to deal with it. There is no need to reply and let him make his own decision."

Mobei is too big, and the vast sea is too big.

In this era where communication basically relies on shouting, how can it be possible for two groups of troops to separate and attack together accurately?

And Yi Zhixie is not an NPC, just sitting there waiting to be attacked.

The choice now is to see who Yi Zhixie will lead the main force to resist first.

In Li Yunze's opinion, Yi Zhixie would most likely choose to lead the main force to confront Wei Qing and use a partial force to resist Huo Qubing.

The reason is simple, Wei Qing has many infantry.

After these years of war, ever since Li Yunze created the cuirassiers, the Huns have never won against the Han cavalry, and they have all been beaten psychologically.

The only thing that could give them some confidence was to attack the Han infantry.

As for the tens of thousands of elite cavalry on Huo Qubing's side, Yi Zhixie no longer had confidence, and could only hope that they would get lost in the vast sea. If not, they would be blocked by King Zuo Xian.

As long as his side can defeat Wei Qing's group, which has the largest number of people and is regarded as the main force, then this time it will be considered a victory.

Li Yunze had already arranged the strategic matters, which was to divide his troops and attack from the left and right. The purpose was to eliminate the Huns' effective strength as much as possible, and at the same time force them to be unable to go south to the grasslands with rich water and grass before winter came.

The bitterly cold Mobei could not support many cattle and sheep. As long as the Huns were forced to spend a winter in Mobei or even further north, Li Yunze estimated that they would have to lose at least half of their population, cattle, sheep and horses.

In just one winter, the Huns will no longer be able to resist the Han Dynasty. Without a hundred and eighty years of hard work, they will never be able to recover.

Of course, Li Yunze couldn't give them 80 years to recover.

After this decisive battle, Han cavalry will go deep into the grasslands to sweep every year. Especially when autumn is high and horses are fat, no tribe will be allowed to graze in areas with rich water and grass.

These tribes on the grassland either surrendered to the Han, were scattered and settled in various places, and then gradually integrated into the Han and became part of the Han, or they completely disappeared in the long river of history.

In terms of tactics, let Wei Qing and Huo Qubing perform freely.

As for himself, he just follows the show.

Watch the scene.

Huo Qubing was also unambiguous. After Li Yunze's instructions, he led the army all the way north and rushed directly into the vast sea.

He is certainly not a stupid academic fan running around.

The Han family has been smuggling luxury goods through smugglers over the years, and has also recruited many Huns who are dissatisfied with life from the Huns.

Those selected among them became the guides of the army.

With these guides who have gone to and from Monan and Mobei, and crossed the vast sea many times, plus the compass and binoculars that Li Yunze made, even Li Guang will not get lost.

Before setting off to enter the vast sea, the most important thing the entire army did was to fill the tank with water.

Except for a small amount of dry food and military supplies, almost all available transportation capacity was used to carry water.

The reason is simple. The Huns would inevitably throw dead cattle and sheep into the oases along the vast sea to cut off the Han army's water resources.

Wei Qing's side had many footmen, and even more civilian husbands. They used buckets in carts and transported them abruptly.

Huo Qubing's cavalry is full of cavalry, and their emphasis is on fast horse attacks, so they just take them all at once, and then they rush for thousands of miles regardless of the situation.

It was indeed very uncomfortable when riding a horse across the vast sea.

Although everyone has a straw hat, the blazing sunshine still makes people feel uncomfortable.

And at night, the cold wind blew up again, and the cold wind raged across the vast sea, making people shiver.

All of this was endured silently by the Han soldiers.

What is the best soldier in the world?That's it!
In comparison, at this time, Rome, on the other side of the world, had ended the Punic War and was expanding rapidly. However, their soldiers were typically paid to do things. They could only do things when the money was in place. Without money, let alone in the vast sea. Having endured the extreme weather, he dared to follow the centurions and kill the general on the spot.

The so-called vast seas are not all deserts, but more bare Gobi Desert.

The Han army did encounter several oases along the way. Although they were not large, there were spring lakes. In Li Yunze's opinion, they were much larger than the Crescent Moon Spring in the future.

It was a pity that it was useless. There were rotten cattle and sheep floating in the lake, and they were swollen like balls.

Naturally, the Han army did not take water, but they swept away all the few trees and weeds on the shore of the lake and turned them into fuel to make a hot meal.

After walking hard for seven or eight days, a touch of green finally appeared on the horizon in the distance.

Finally, I crossed the vast sea.

At the end of the green, a river like a belt of white jade meanders. The Han army looked over there with eyes full of longing.

However, on both sides of the white jade belt, there are many tents and countless cattle and sheep.

The soldiers and horses of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu have been waiting here for a long time.

Want to drink water?

Okay, as long as you win!
