"From Yanmen on the left, Pianguan on the right, and Ningwu on the south, it is located among the three passes. It is the throat of the north and the south, and the key point of the east and west." Mayi City is the frontier of the battle and integration of the Han nationality and the northern nomadic people.The specific geographical location has become a battleground for military strategists of all dynasties, which also determines the necessity of building a military center.

"Magistrate Wang, you and Nie Yi are already acquainted," Wang Zhi said to Wang Hui, the county magistrate of Mayicheng, "If you have any news from the barbarians, please report to the palace immediately; and help him as much as possible."

"Be sure to guard this city. The autumn grain harvest is imminent. Organize the people to prepare for the harvest as soon as possible to prevent the Huns from looting. The troops move forward, and the scouts move forward five miles. Once the Huns are found to be harassing, the wolf smoke will be called and go to battle!" Wang Zhi said in a deep voice.

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Hui responded.

"Empress," the county magistrate saluted, "my soldiers and people have always defended the city and resisted the Hungarians. If we go out of the city to meet the attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up..."

"Mayi City, such an important horse breeding base, is rich in famous horses. Could it be that the horses can only be confined in the city? This is the frontier of counterattacking the Huns, not a watchtower to watch the barbarians burn, kill and loot!" Wang Zhi was displeased.

"I'm going to accompany the empress, all the way from Yandi, and I saw a small group of Xiongnu forces harassing me in many places." Wei Wan sighed.

"Marriage, forbearance, in exchange for the Huns to make progress!" Wang Zhi gritted his teeth, "There must be a decisive battle between the Han and the Huns! Blindly giving in will only make the barbarians arrogant..."

Thinking of what Yao Weng and Yan Xiang Luanbu said, Wang Zhi couldn't help worrying.

Maodun Shanyu Mingdi killed his father, unified the Huns, and defeated the Donghu in the east. After being able to coerce the smaller tribes such as Xianbei and Wuhuan, he went west to the later northern Xinjiang and covered almost the entire Northeast region in the east.The size of the territory is like a boulder pressing on the head of the Han Empire.And "Bai Deng's siege", trapping Liu Bang, the great ancestor who was pursuing him, and forcing the big man to compromise.

In terms of organizational form, Maodun set up the left and right wise kings, the left and right Guli kings, the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big households, and the left and right bone capitals.The Xiongnu respected the left, and the prince generally served as the king of Zuo Tuqi, that is, the king of Zuo Xian.

From the left and right virtuous kings to the left and right households, there are private soldiers. The big ones have more than ten thousand cavalry, and the small ones have thousands of people. There are 24 chiefs in total, called "ten thousand cavalry".

Under Wanqi, there are Qianqichang, Baichang, Shichang, Xiang, Fengduwei, etc. Basically, they rely on their strength to speak, and their strength depends on how much they command their subordinates, and most of the subordinates are tribal members.

Shan Yu's territory is in Shan Yuting.Zuo Xianwang is in the northeast of China, and the Xiongnu faces the left side of the south.King Youxian is in Northwest China, on the right of the Huns facing south.The left and right virtuous kings have great autonomy in their respective territories.

For the Xiongnu, nomadic riding and archery was a routine operation, fighting among the tribes was right for entertainment, and Modu integrated them to reduce internal friction, and nomadic riding and archery naturally transformed into a powerful external combat force.

Moreover, the property and people they robbed in foreign wars basically belong to themselves, so everyone's motivation for war is stimulated.This is the Xiongnu army with the express purpose of looting.

The nomads live in bitter cold and lack of supplies, and they cannot survive the winter without coming to the Central Plains to rob.As soon as winter comes, the grassland is covered with ice and snow, and the horses starve to death without food for the winter.Nomads are two-legged sheep without horses, so they must take advantage of spring, summer and autumn to rob enough winter supplies in the Central Plains.Later, the so-called marriage marriage was actually giving them supplies on a regular basis so that they would not come to harass and rob.

The strategy of making peace was based on the fact that the Huns were extremely powerful and often harassed the border of the Han Dynasty. The great ancestor Liu Bang was always troubled by the relationship between the Han and the Huns.

Liu Jing was originally Lou Jing, a native of Qi.Liu Bang appreciated him because he proposed the strategy of establishing the capital Chang'an to Gaozu, and gave the country the surname "Liu".

Liu Jing offered a marriage plan, thinking that "the Han Dynasty sent the eldest princess to marry the Huns Maodun Shanyu and gave a generous dowry. The Huns, greedy for money and lust, would regard the eldest princess as the family of Yan, and then send debaters to bring rich property to condolences every year. Maodun was the son-in-law when he was alive, and the Shanyu who succeeded him after his death was the grandson of the Han Dynasty. Finally, he used the blood relationship to achieve the goal of surrendering the Huns without fighting."

Gaozu immediately adopted this strategy.However, Princess Lu Yuan, the core candidate of this strategy, was strongly opposed by Empress Lu and was replaced. In the end, Liu Bang chose the daughter of the clan as the princess to marry to the Huns.

The purpose of this strategy is to exchange women and property for peace between the Han and the Hungarians.The essence is to use marriage to realize the internal self-transformation of the Xiongnu. It can not only change the blood of the Xiongnu royal family through marriage, but also change the living habits of the Xiongnu through the Xiongnu’s greed for the property of the Han Dynasty, thereby changing the relationship between the Han and the Huns.

However, the biggest weakness of this strategy is that the effect is very slow, and it takes a very long time to take effect.However, this strategy continued for more than 2000 years, and countless royal daughters sacrificed their lifetime happiness for the survival, peace and prosperity of the Central Plains Dynasty.

After years of wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty at that time was in decline, people's livelihood was in decline, and they urgently needed to recuperate, and they had no power to stop the invasion of the Huns.Therefore, it is a policy of peace to appease the Xiongnu's invasion ambitions.

The treacherous piss of the nomads!The effect of one kiss only lasts for a short time.

In the third year and 14th year of Emperor Wendi and the sixth year after Emperor Wenyuan, the Xiongnu invaded on a large scale three times.It even pierced through the Dai Kingdom and approached Ganquan Palace, only three hundred miles away from Chang'an, the center of the Han regime!

Marriage, sent the Bank of China to the Xiongnu to say that this big traitor!It was because of this traitor leading the way that the Xiongnu harassed more frequently, became more arrogant, and even demanded property with the arrogance of the country.No matter how forbearable it is, I really kicked my nose on my face!

What's more dangerous is that out of common interests, the Xiongnu formed an alliance with Wusun and successfully forced the Yuezhi to move westward.The nature of the grassland peoples determined that their plundering of farming areas was limited to plundering people and replenishing supplies, but they wanted to occupy cattle, sheep and pastures for themselves.

Wusun was willing to be the pawn of the Huns, not only captured a large number of slaves, cattle and horses, but also entered the Ili River Valley before the Huns.

When the belated Huns tried to infiltrate the Ili River Valley from the Junggar Basin, they encountered strong resistance from the Wusun people. Since then, the Huns-Uzbekistan alliance has officially disintegrated, and the two sides have changed from comrades-in-arms to enemies.

How long can the stubborn Wusun last?Will it be completely conquered by the Huns cavalry?At that time, the grassland iron cavalry will turn their heads and fight against the Han Dynasty with all their strength. It is hard to say who will win the battle. Some princes and kings are dissatisfied with the reduction of the vassals by the Han Central Committee.

beat!When the main force of the Xiongnu is fighting with Wusun, and there is no time to clone, take the initiative to fight, and fight as soon as possible!Defeat and abolish the barbarians of the Huns!
"The Taifu once led the Northern Army of the Capital Division, and later served as a Weiwei. He assisted Tiaohou in suppressing the Wu rebellion. He has the talent of a commander. The county magistrate Wang has confronted the Huns all year round, and understands the tactics and tactics of the Huns. Let's discuss how to meet the enemy." Wang Zhi said, "Even if you go out of the city to meet the enemy, you must be safe and don't rush in."

"The cavalry of the Huns come and go like the wind. I have few cavalry, and my cavalry skills are a bit inferior. I can't carry heavy weapons. I still mainly use infantry chariots. Otherwise, there will be insufficient troops." Wei Wan said after thinking.

"The cavalry will fight, lead the enemy into the ambush circle, and the archers will ambush!" Wang Hui said.

"Okay! I'm here to give the archer some seasoning!" Wang Zhi smiled and took out a package.This is the grass crow she saw on the road, and she picked it up as a spare.

"Mother? Can't this baby be touched?" Liu Xiaozhu was curious along the way, always wanting to touch the plants his mother dug, but was strictly ordered to stop by Wang Zhi.

"Mash this and soak it in water to make a potion, then soak the arrow clusters in the potion, and let it dry," Wang Zhi smiled with his hands behind his back. "When I am ambushing the enemy, my soldiers shot arrows and shouted-the robbers are unjust, and the gods will punish them!"

The fierceness of the battle shocked Wang Zhi!I deeply regret that I underestimated the enemy and was too confident.

The [-] cavalry who lured the enemy were pursued, but because of galloping horses, they were unable to balance, dodged the swords of the Huns, and had no time to fight back. Only three cavalry came back safely;

Standing at the top of the wall, Wang Zhi cried hoarsely when he saw this tragic situation, wishing he could jump off the top of the wall to kill the powerful enemy, and was hugged tightly by Liu Xiaozhu and Zhi Qing!Wei Wan, Zheng Ye, and Wang Hui also knelt and cried to persuade them!

The Xiongnu robbers came and went like the wind, looting and leaving a mess...

The setting sun on the long river, the solitary smoke in the desert, Wang Zhi cried so much that his heart ached!The autumn wind in the frontier fortress brought tears down her face, and there was grief and anger in her unyielding eyes, as well as the fire of vengeance!

"Magistrate Wang, I want to go out of the city to take a look at the terrain." Wang Zhi said in a deep voice.

"Empress, the battlefield is being cleaned outside the city. The Huns just left, so I'm afraid it's not peaceful..." Wei Wan persuaded.

"It's good for the Taifu to take care of the prince. No one knows about the clothes of this palace. You will gain wisdom by learning from it. If you don't go to see it, how will you know how to deal with it?" Wang Zhi learned from the pain and was determined to win the game.

"Mother, the child will go with the mother..." Seeing his mother's tragic expression, Liu Xiaozhu pleaded, holding Wang Zhi's hand.

"Che'er stays in the city to practice swordsmanship with sister Qing, and the queen mother will come back after seeing it." Wang Zhi comforted Liu Xiaozhu, asked Zhi Qing to accompany the prince, and rode out of the city with Wang Hui.

As a harem woman, she mostly rides a car and rarely rides a horse.It was agreed not to show off modern technology. When Wang Zhi got on the horse, she knew where the cavalry lost.

At the beginning, Wang Zhi, Ji Bu and Zhi all went to the state of Wu to win gifts, and the horse they rode had only one cushion, and the rider had to clamp the horse's belly with his legs to keep his balance.After riding a horse for a whole day, Wang Zhi's thighs were worn out, and he walked like a bow-legged man.

It's just a rush.For cavalry to attack and fight, without long-term training, it is difficult to achieve balance on horseback and fight with heavy troops at the same time.

"Magistrate Wang, have you seen the stirrups and saddles?" Wang Zhi asked.

Wang Hui shook his head: "What are the stirrups? Is the saddle the cushion?"

Wang Yan hummed, "Let's study it after we return to the city."

There were also many Huns among the casualties on the battlefield.After being hit by an arrow, he was poisoned to death by aconitum, or he fell to the ground with palpitations and was killed.As long as the arrow hits, no one is spared.Looks like the Poison Arrow is still working.

"Your Majesty, I think the position of our ambush is wrong." Wang Hui said, "We pretended to harvest grain to lure the enemy, and the crops are low-lying. The Huns swooped down from the ridge, condescending, and naturally they were unstoppable..."

Wang Zhi nodded and said in a low voice: "Outsiders talk a lot, the magistrate Wang can just call the villain Wang Xin. Let's go to the mountain to see if there is any available space."

Climbing to the top of the mountain, this is actually a section of the old city wall of Zhao Great Wall in the Warring States Period.Looking north, Wang Zhi felt a sense of sadness, and couldn't help crying.

Qin general Meng Tian attacked the Xiongnu in the north and completely drove the Xiongnu out of the Hetao area where they were born. The so-called "but the Xiongnu were more than 44 miles away, and the Hu people dared not go south to herd horses." Qin acquired a large area of ​​land and set up [-] new counties.

In the war at the end of Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian was killed, and all the land gained by the northern attack on the Xiongnu was lost, and the Xiongnu returned to the new Qin Dynasty.

The saying of the Han Empire that "beacon fires pass through the sweet spring" made several generations of emperors in Weiyang Palace sleepless at night.Ganquan Palace was one of the most important palaces of the Western Han emperors, but it was harassed by the Huns and did not have enough strategic depth, which brought great troubles to the Han Empire.

Can't beat the Huns?Above the court, there were many disputes.

Some people believe that the Xiongnu existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they did not pose a great threat. They were also hanged and beaten in the Qin Dynasty.It only needs to defend against nomadic aggression in autumn, so the Xiongnu is simply suffering from scabies, and there is no need to spend strength to deal with it.

But because of the collapse of the Qin Empire, the Xiongnu were able to take advantage of the vacancy, control the Yanzhi Mountain, obtain high-quality pastures, and seize the Hetao Plain to obtain fertile arable land.Moreover, because of the war in the Central Plains, a large number of people fled, and a considerable part of them ran to the territory of the Huns to bring farming technology and a large number of craftsmen to the Huns.

So under the leadership of Mao Dun Shanyu, the Xiongnu quickly evolved from a simple group of nomadic tribes into a powerful northern regime, further unifying the Western Regions.At the same time, it has the logistic support of farming civilization and the military strength of nomadic civilization.

Not only that, relying on this advantage, the Huns also reached out to Central Asia to make up for the last shortcoming of their lack of high-quality horses and iron ore.

Ringworm and scabies, if allowed to develop, will become incurable cancer.Therefore, we must completely defeat the Huns before they evolve into a complete body!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi clenched his fists: The Han Empire not only wanted to defeat the Xiongnu and recover the results of Qin Mengtian's northern attack on the Huns, but also to drink the horses from Lake Baikal!

As dusk fell, Mayi City was dimly lit.In the lights of thousands of families, how many families were broken by the Huns burning, killing and looting?How many Wubian soldiers shed blood and tears?

Qin Shiming Moon and Han Shiguan,
The Long March people have not returned.

But so that Dragon City Fei will be there,
Don't teach Huma to ride Yinshan!
Wang Zhi said: "Let's go! Let's go back to the city and discuss it. The cavalry will be equipped with saddles and stirrups..."

"There are arrows!" Wang Hui yelled, stood up in front of him, and pushed Wang Zhi away!
