Chapter 515 The Defense of the Mountain Kingdom [Please subscribe*Please vote monthly]

Long Yangjun didn't really believe in Han Xin. If Loulan could become the top leader in the Western Region, he would naturally have many generals.

It's just that they are Loulan people and cannot represent the general who protects the Western Region. Therefore, this general can only be selected from the envoys or from Bingzhou.

Therefore, even if he handed over 5,000 troops to Han Xin to attack the Shan Kingdom, Lord Longyang could not treat the lives of 5,000 soldiers as trivial. He still sent an observation group composed of General Loulan to evaluate Han Xin's operations. It was necessary At this time, the observation group can take action and take back the command.

In this regard, Han Xin did not have any dissatisfaction with being despised or suspected.

He doesn't have any qualifications to be taken seriously yet.

Shanguo's army is not large, only six thousand. After a battle with Loulan, Qiuci and Jieguo, the number is less than three thousand. If it were not for the city defense, Loulan would have destroyed them long ago.

Therefore, although Han Xin led five thousand soldiers and horses, it was still very challenging.

Although this difficulty is not as good as Zhao Kuo's hell start, as a test of his ability, the intensity is still very appropriate.

In other words, a war of this intensity is the correct way for a country to cultivate excellent generals.

This kind of challenge is higher than ordinary people, but if you are talented, this intensity is actually just right.

"I suspect...I've been implicated!" In Long Yangjun's absence, Han Xin finally dared to speak out his inner thoughts.

He is not stupid, he just has no identity, no status, and no military merit.

"What do you say?" Jing Ke came to protect Han Xin. After all, swords are not smart in the chaos of the army.

"Long Yangjun has actually been targeting the entire Huxi Region Zhonglang General's Mansion, except for you and General Luo Bing. During your absence, Long Yangjun did not give any of us a good look."

Han Xin helplessly spread his hands.

During this period of time, they were dependent on others, and they were inevitably ridiculed by Long Yangjun, especially Han Tan.

Jing Ke was stunned for a moment, then recalled carefully for a while, and found that Lord Long Yang really seemed to be deliberately targeting and mocking them.

In addition to giving himself a good face, others were verbally criticized, especially Han Tan, who lost all face.

"Long Yangjun..." Jing Ke didn't know what to say.

The existence of the Protectorate of the Western Region naturally infringes on Loulan's interests.

As the leader of the Loulan Kingdom, it seems reasonable for Long Yangjun to have such an attitude.

"Long Yangjun doesn't care about Loulan Kingdom's rights." Han Xin knew that Jing Ke was thinking wrongly and continued to explain.

"Why is that?" Jing Ke was confused.

If it weren't for the reason of protecting General Lang's mansion in the Western Region, then Lord Long Yang wouldn't have to squeeze them so much.

"Maybe it's because of your Majesty!" Han Xin carefully pointed his finger upward.

"Huh?" Jing Ke was even more surprised. If he remembered correctly, Lord Long Yang and Yan Yan had been together for many years.

"I don't know the specific reason, but I didn't see Long Yangjun looking east to Bingzhou from time to time, baring his teeth, sighing and angry. In short, his expression was very subtle, as if someone owed you hundreds of gold and refused to pay it back. Don’t dare to rush him.”

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, trying hard to think of how to describe Long Yangjun's expression.

"When you owe a few or dozens of gold, you still dare to come to collect the debt. But when you owe a few hundred gold, you still have to beg him not to die or get into trouble."

Han Xin was afraid that Jing Ke wouldn't understand, so he tried his best to explain.

When you owe a little, you can still be indifferent and don't care, but when you owe a lot, you really are the father and the uncle. In this case, you don't even dare to say anything extreme, because you are afraid that if you disagree with him, he will climb on the bridge, stand on the edge of the cliff, or run to the rooftop.

With this explanation, Jing Ke could also imagine that kind of look.

If this is what Han Xin said, it seems that he can understand why Lord Long Yang has been mocking them.

"So, eldest brother owes Lord Long Yang a lot of money?" Jing Ke asked slowly.

"It's not about money, it's about other things." Han Xin was also stunned by Jing Ke's reaction.

If nothing else, there are definitely various subtle relationships between the Lord and Lord Long Yang.

So much so that Long Yangjun has been wiping Bingzhou's mistakes, and is also helping General Jun to build the palace of Zhonglang General in the Western Region.

As for what the relationship was, Han Xin didn't dare to ask or even listen.

"Let's not worry about these matters. Your Majesty will handle them yourself in the future." Jing Ke did not want Han Xin to continue talking. Outsiders should not get involved in such matters involving the monarch.

"Are you sure about Shanguo?" Jing Ke asked seriously.

"..." Han Xin was silent for a while, which made Jing Ke a little worried.

"How should I say..." Han Xin thought about how to explain.

But Jing Ke thought that Han Xin was not sure, so he comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter. If you can command an army of five thousand, no matter how many people there are, it won't work. It doesn't matter. You can go to Yumen Pass and replace it with General Luo Bing."

"No, I can do it!" Han Xin said hurriedly. This was his chance to make a name for himself. If he gave it up, would Bingzhou still trust him in the future?
"I was silent because I was thinking about how to explain it to you, sir."

Han Xin pulled Jing Ke to a sand table.

"You did this?" Jing Ke was a little surprised.

Sand table inference has not yet appeared in this era, and it is more focused on two-dimensional maps. Han Xin is the first to be able to use sand to shrink and simulate the mountainous capital and surrounding terrain like Han Xin.

"Well, know yourself and the enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. However, I am not the first to create this sandbox. Many generals and shogunates already have it, but it has not been popularized. In Gaoque Fortress, teachers also use sandboxes to teach and explain major battles. The model will give us a simulation demonstration.”

"And if you want to graduate from Gaoquesai, you must beat the teacher in sand table deduction to be qualified to become a teacher."

Han Xin explained the origin of the sand table.

Because of the lack of maps, many battlefields have no time to make sand tables, and because some battlefields are too big, even if the sand tables are shrunk again and again, it is impossible to arrange them, and it is not as convenient as the maps.

"This is the defensive strength of the Shan Kingdom, and this is where we are." Han Xin pointed out the enemy and our lineups on the sand table.

"Then what?" Jing Ke really didn't know about war.

"Xin has watched all the siege battles, and I have never seen Shan Kingdom being so defensive." Han Xin pointed at Shan Kingdom's capital and said.

The entire Shan Kingdom gathered all its defensive forces in the city and locked the city gates tightly.

"Is there something wrong?" Jing Ke really didn't understand. In his opinion, there was no problem with Shanguo's defense.

"This is not how a real city defense battle is fought." Han Xin knew that Jing Ke did not understand, and then slowly explained, "The so-called city defense does not mean closing the city gate tightly and not leaving."

"For example, at Yumen Pass, how General Luo Bing defended it. He relied on the temporary construction of Yumen Pass, allowing the archers to rely on the height of the city wall. From a high position, the range would be farther than the Hun archers in the corridor, and their field of vision would be wider. "
