Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 86 Planning the Central Prairie
A sound of footsteps came, interrupting the conversation of several people. Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others walked into the city lord's mansion and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "See my lord, I just learned a piece of news. The Xiongnu and Donghu have now withdrawn half of their main force." Together with the common people, they each returned to the land of the two tribes. Just a few days ago, the Xiongnu led an army of 45 with King Youxian as the main general, thousands of miles away from the north of Seoul. The war was fought against the 55 Donghu with King Zuoxian as the main general. military".

"The war between the two clans has broken out, how should I deal with it in Seoul?".Zhao Wuming asked everyone in the city lord's mansion after listening.

When Fan Kui heard the question, he blurted out without hesitation: "The total strength of my city is 45, and it is absolutely possible to directly send troops to a three-way battle."

"No, if you count the 15 soldiers and horses stationed in the rear of the Donghu and the Xiongnu respectively. No matter which side we face in Seoul, we have no chance of winning."Chen Ping immediately objected.

Fan Kui looked at Chen Ping: "It's impossible for us not to fight head-on in this battle, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

"The lord, the subject, and Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping discussed this matter in private, and they agreed that this battle should be avoided."Han Xin looked at the two arguing and looked at Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming looked at the three of them: "How to avoid the truth and leave the truth, I would like to ask the general, the prime minister and the two military advisers to explain in detail."

"We discussed that this battle should be divided into two groups. One route uses the Huns' servant army as the main force to directly capture the large tribe of Donghu. The Donghu food road is broken and the Huns' army flanks Donghu, and then the garrison is used as a barrier to hold out. The other route uses Donghu The servant army is the main force, from south to west and finally to the north, destroying the 15 troops left behind by the Xiongnu and cutting off their food roads. At that time, a large number of Xiongnu materials will be transported to the city, and the lord can upgrade the city level, and rectify the soldiers and horses. .Zhang Liang talked eloquently to Zhao Wuming.

Before Zhao Wuming could say anything, Fan Kui glared at the four of them: "It turns out that you all have a plan, and you just kept it from us."

"We have just made a complete decision. There must be a flaw in this strategy, and we have to consider it carefully."Chen Ping quickly explained to Fan Kuai.

defect?Zhao Wuming wondered: "What's the defect?".

"Attacking the Xiongnu with the Donghu and attacking the Donghu with the Huns will not be able to subdue the defeated tribal army. That is to say, in this battle, the servant army in our city cannot be replenished and strengthened. Only after the central grassland is completely occupied can we slowly integration".Han Xin explained.

Fan Kuai looked at Han Xin nonchalantly: "This is easy to solve, as long as the Xiongnu servant army is used to fight the Huns, and the Donghu servant army is used to fight Donghu."

"It must not be done. This move will anger the people of the Xiongnu and Donghu. Not only will it not be able to subdue it smoothly, but it will arouse their indignation."Zhang Liang hurriedly stopped Fan Kuai's lame plan.

Fan Kui seemed puzzled: "The people's anger? Why haven't we provoked it before?"

"That's because there was no war between the two clans in the past, and we used the servant army as the main force, making them mistakenly think that this is a grassland dispute among their own clans."Han Xin explained to Fan Kuai.

Since Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu came to Seoul relatively late, they just listened quietly to such topics, but did not speak.

Zhang Liang took Han Xin's words, and then explained to Fan Kuai: "The battle between the two tribes is a matter of their lives and deaths. If we use the Huns' servants to attack the Huns at this time, what will the people of the Huns think? Our Huns' servants will There will be no complaints.”

"The words of the military division are reasonable, and we will act according to this plan in this battle."Zhao Wuming understood the reason behind it, and immediately interrupted their conversation.

Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Wuming, and gradually there was a glimmer of expectation in his heart: "My city of Seoul now has a certain strength. After the army and the Xiongnu attack Donghu together, I propose that the servant army formally change the flag and use the name of our city."

"Military officer, you should have done this a long time ago. Disguised as Donghu and Xiongnu secretly attacked foreign tribes, which made me very uncomfortable, Fan Kuai."Fan Kui was the first to jump out to agree, thinking of the scene where all the servants were branded with the banner of Seoul, he felt a burst of joy.

Everyone looked at each other, a trace of pride rose in their hearts.I don't know when, Seoul has already owned it.In this grassland surrounded by enemies on all sides, loudly declare the strength of your existence: "Please allow me, my lord, when the victory is about to be settled, I will play the banner of Seoul."

"Zhun, what you invite is also what I think in my heart."Zhao Wuming suddenly felt proud, the country of the Han people appeared in the middle of the grassland, and countless foreigners might be stunned.

Everyone was overjoyed: "I will not insult the prestige of Han City. This battle will let the foreigners in the grassland see the might of our Han army."

"Everyone has such arrogance, why worry about winning this battle. To avoid reality, divide the troops into two groups, and take this opportunity to win the central grassland in one fell swoop."Zhao Wuming
"promise".Everyone bowed and saluted, and took orders in unison.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xiao He: "How are our army's food, horses, weapons, armor, bows and arrows prepared?"

"The prime minister's inventory is sufficient, and all the materials have been placed at the designated location according to the wishes of the general and the two military advisers. The route for transporting supplies has been planned, and as long as the lord gives an order, we will have no problem with logistics."Xiao He reported one by one.

Zhao Wuming looked at the crowd and felt a sense of relief, as expected, they were all under control, and everything was properly arranged.Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "General Han Xin is the main general, Fan Kui is the deputy general, and Zhang Liang is the military adviser. Lead the Hun servant army and 30 Han soldiers, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses to attack Donghu."

"promise".Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Fan Kui bowed to accept orders.

Zhao Wuming looked at Chen Ping and the others, and ordered again: "Zhou Bo is the chief general, Zhou Yafu is the deputy general, and Chen Ping is the military division accompanying the army. Command the Donghu servant army and 2 Han soldiers, with a total of 12 soldiers and horses to attack the Huns. Food Road".

"promise".Zhou Bo, Zhou Yafu, and Chen Ping bowed to accept their orders.

Zhao Wuming shifted his gaze to Xiao He: "Prime Minister Xiao He coordinated the transportation of grain and supplies to the rear, and Cao Shen and Shen Wansan assisted from the side."

"promise".Xiao He, Cao Can and Shen Wansan bowed to accept their orders.

As soon as the order was issued, Zhao Wuming was full of pride: "The orphans led the remaining Han troops to stay in Seoul and respond at any time. I hope that you will work together to capture the central grassland in one fell swoop, and make my name in Seoul shock the foreigners."

"We will work together in this battle, and we will definitely show our prestige in Seoul."Infected by Zhao Wuming's arrogance, everyone stood up and agreed at the same time.

As soon as the words were finished, everyone came out in a file, and after a while, continuous drumbeats resounded through the sky.Two armies lined up outside Seoul.On the city wall, Zhao Wuming took Xiao He and others to watch. Soldiers brought drinks, and countless drinks were distributed.All the soldiers toasted the wine to Zhao Wuming and others on the city wall, and then drank it all in one gulp, throwing the wine bowl heavily on the ground, and suddenly the sound of the wine bowl breaking was heard.At this moment, the sound of the drum was louder, Han Xin and other generals waved their whips, and led two armies to rush in two directions.
