Chapter 376 20 Army (Part [-])
At noon, in the Huagai Hall in the palace, all the important officials of Dayan were summoned, and Jiang Wan was among them, looking around at the central officials of Dayan, or the important officials in charge of a department, with a look on their faces. A little nervous.

"My lord, the outbreak of this battle is obviously the expansion of Xianbei's ambitions after the strength of Xianbei has grown. After hundreds of years of continuous attack by my big man, the Huns have lost the terrible power of the great Huns back then, especially when they were divided into northern and southern Huns. , it is even more vital, the northern Huns are directly away from the Han territory, and it is said that they are currently competing for territory with Wusun, Dawan, Huarazim and other Western Regions, and there is no threat to my Dayan for the time being. It is the Southern Huns, and the Southern Huns are divided into three groups: the Shanyu Huchuquan of the central royal court, the left virtuous king Liu Bao, and the right virtuous king Qubei. The current population of the Huns is about 27, or 30, and the army is about [-]. It is impossible to exceed this number”

"As for Xianbei, there is no unity. One is Budugen in the west, and its tribes are mostly distributed in Taiyuan, Yanmen and other outer grasslands in Bingzhou; the other is Ke Bineng, and its tribes are distributed in Daijun, Shanggu, etc. The outer periphery of Huan; the third is that the tribes of Suli, Mijia, and Queji in the eastern part of Xianbei are distributed in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang in Youzhou. Due to the decline of the Huns, Xianbei's strength has skyrocketed, and it has mastered half of the grassland and the population. There are about 40 people, and the three armies are no less than 15.”

"This time, Ke Bi Neng didn't know what method to use. He even joined forces with Bu Dugen, who had been in conflict with him in the past, and hit Zuo Xianwang Liu Bao with a sudden attack, which caused a lot of damage to Zuo Xianwang's department. According to Tanhu Chuquan, he has ordered King Youxian went to Bei to command the army to support." Li Ru pointed to a cowhide map and introduced it carefully.

"Where do the military advisers think they will fight next?" Yuan Xi looked at the map and asked seriously.

"I'm not sure about this, after all, the distance is too far, so I have to direct on the spot," Li Ru said softly.

"My lord, now my Dayan is in the middle of the big exam, plus the need to recuperate everywhere, is it not appropriate to start a war at this time?" Han Yan suddenly said worriedly. After all, once a big war breaks out, it will inevitably consume a lot Food and grass will also affect the strategy of Anmin.

"What Shang Shuling said is right, why don't we let them fight, and after bringing the king to unify the world in the future, come and deal with them," Xin Ping also supported.

"No, it may take years or even longer for the king to unify the world, and if Xianbei is allowed to win this battle, the grassland will be completely controlled by him, which will cause great harm at all times, especially this Kebi can be a hero, It must not be underestimated, it should be completely wiped out before he has fully grown, not to mention that this battle is also related to Dao Liangzhou, as long as they are taken down, the role of Hangu Pass will be greatly reduced." Tian Yu, who is in charge of various foreign ministries He shook his head and said.

"What Guo Rang said is good, and the most important point is that everything in my Han territory is a civil war. Although the princes from all over the country are fighting with each other, they still comfort the people. If the people of other tribes are allowed to benefit and kill the people, they will be stigmatized forever. This opportunity must be seized." Yuan Xi directly set the tone, he must fight.

Hearing this, Li Ru smiled appreciatively, pointed to a small black spot on the outskirts of Bingzhou, and said softly: "My lord, if we want to fight, the most important thing for our army is to restart Yunzhong County."

"Yunzhong County" Yuan Xi frowned.

"Your Majesty, Yunzhong County has a long history. The first emperor used it as the first window to the outside world, and it was also the base of our army. It was just outside the Great Wall. Later, Wang Mang changed Yunzhong to Surrender, and then Guangwu re-opened. Yunzhong County was set up to manage eleven counties including Yunzhong, Xianyang, Jiling, Shaling, Shanan, Beiyu, Wuquan, Yuanyang, Dingxiang, Chengle, and Wujin. Shlawusu River and Baby River Basin," Tian Feng immediately explained.

Yuan Xi stood up immediately, walked quickly to the map, took a closer look, nodded and said: "This is indeed a very important position, and you can monitor the outer domain at any time, but all the counties have seen it, why is there no one?" This Yunzhong County, he should be under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou, why didn't Chang Lin report it?"

"My lord, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the decline of the Han court, Yunzhong County has gradually left the jurisdiction, especially because they are close to Budugen's territory, so they have their own affairs and turned into several small forces, and they have reached oaths with Budugen. The main goal of the late kings was still the Central Plains. Although the area of ​​Yunzhong County is not small, there are not many Han people living there. Most of them have passed the Great Wall and returned to Bingzhou, so it feels a bit tasteless. After adding that the former king unified the north , they immediately sent gifts to show their sincerity, and the late king ignored it," Tian Feng explained.

"How can that be done? Even if it's just a small city, it's still my country, let alone a county. It must never be discarded and must be taken back." Hearing this, Yuan Xi immediately said seriously.

"Your Majesty is wise, Yunzhong County doesn't have many troops at all, and it relies entirely on Budugen. Now that Budugen is going on an expedition, as long as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are needed, they will attack in three directions. With the sky-rocketing cannon as a deterrent, they will inevitably surrender everywhere. In four days, they can all be taken back," Xu Shu supported with a smile.

"However, it is still necessary to paralyze the high-level officials of the two tribes, especially the Xianbei, otherwise our army's sudden intervention will probably cause them to cease fighting directly," Pang Tong said.

"Shi Yuan, what's your plan?" Yuan Xi asked curiously.

"My Majesty, first of all, I want to find some people in Yunzhong County as secret spies, saying that they are living in hardships and urgently need my Dayan's rescue. Our army is for the people, so we send troops to recover their homeland, and at the same time, we have to roam throughout Dayan. There was a message, saying that Dayan might be going south soon, let General Jiao Touch pretend to attack Liangzhou, so that the Xiongnu and Xianbei can continue to fight with peace of mind," Pang Tong suggested.

"Okay, Zhang Nan," Yuan Xi shouted immediately.

"The minister is here" Zhang Nan quickly stood up.

"Leave this matter to the military commander, hurry up," Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"

"Once Yunzhong is taken back, I, Dayan, not only take back a county, but also take the strategic initiative, and can attack at any time. From my point of view, the next stop of the two armies may be in Yinshan Mountain," Sima Yi smiled.

Hearing this, Li Ru immediately asked appreciatively, "Zhong Da, why did you say that?"

"Yin Mountain is a very important position, because it is one of the dividing points between the two races. Once it passes, the Xiongnu will be completely exposed to the Xianbei. They will kill the royal court directly, so as long as the Huns have a little vision, they will not give up. Yinshan, of course, is just like what the right minister said, the distance is too far, so you have to command in front of the battle, and there are too many variables," Sima Yi said.

"Haha, Zhongda has a vicious vision. Yinshan Mountain is indeed an important position. Prime Minister Zuo, tell me specifically how our army will attack after Yunzhong County is captured." Yuan Xi asked Li Ru after praising Sima Yi.

"My lord, I feel that I must participate in this war. If I miss it, I will lose a lot if I want to regain it in the future. However, although it is a hard-to-find opportunity, because the opponent is not weak, in order to ensure victory, I also want to fight for the Eight Banners. To be able to fully build up these two tribes, I feel that at least the strength of the three legions must be mobilized, plus the remaining four banners of Wuhuan, to realize this plan with no less than 20 troops," Li Ru clasped his fists.

"20?" Han Yan felt a pain in his face, and the national treasury was going to be half empty again.

"Haha, Zipei, don't feel bad. If you win this battle, you will gain far more than you pay. The Eight Banners of these two clans alone are worth a fight," Yuan Xi comforted with a smile.

Li Ru nodded and said with a smile: "Zipei, these two clans are not Wuhuan, they have a very good background, as long as they win, everything will be moved back, and many people from the two clans can be directly identified as Slaves, let them build bridges and build roads, it is definitely a huge profit, and the other 20 is not all dispatched, their tasks are different, and some of them consume very little."

After Han Yan smiled wryly, he said: "Since the king has made a decision, I will naturally have no other opinions. Isn't it 20 yuan? The treasury can still resist."

Yuan Xi immediately burst out laughing, and said: "Look, Gu just said it, with Zipei here, Gu has no worries."

The other courtiers also nodded and smiled, Yuan Xi continued: "Military Master, tell me carefully how to use the 20 troops?"

"No! It's true, as Shi Yuan said just now, in order to ensure that the two clans will fight with peace of mind, our army needs to pretend to attack Liangzhou and make a move to go south, so this time I suggest that the 20 troops be divided into five groups." Li Ru became serious.
