Chapter 216
Wang Buxu himself didn't even know what he was trying to do, but how could he become a sage who has been in the world for a long time when Guan Ying said it?
"Your Majesty, why don't you gather your troops and go straight to Pengcheng?" Xiao He suddenly said.
The war to destroy the country these days does not mean that the land of the enemy country must be conquered, but the country is destroyed if the enemy's capital city, the King of Chu and most of the central officials of the royal court are captured.
The fall of the capital city is a huge blow to any country.
After that, you only need to send a small number of troops to harvest and occupy everywhere.
Wang Buxu rolled his eyes at Xiao He.
Of course he knows the truth, and he also knows the thinking of people of this era.
But can I tell you that it's because I'm afraid of something happening?
Can I tell you, eggs cannot be put in one basket?
How do you say and do the same thing so that you can achieve your goals and at the same time show yourself to be more far-sighted and have a more strategic vision?
"The Chu State has nothing to worry about. Even if they had a few months, they could not fully utilize it."
"But we should not be careless. At present, the only enemy is Chu. But if we take a longer view, the Huns are Han's biggest opponents."
"At that time, the Han State will be today's Chu State, and the Xiongnu will also be today's Han State."
Wang Buxing's words surprised many people.
Different from the previous self-confidence, today's Wang Buxian gives people a very abnormal feeling.
He actually took the initiative to put himself in a weak position. Doesn't this make others more ambitious and destroy his own prestige?
"Your Majesty, they are just the Huns. After they have unified the world, I will lead my troops to destroy them!" Han Xin, who was in the stage of blind worship of the king, stood up and said directly.
Wang Buxu shook his head and continued: "Never underestimate your enemies. The nomads were beaten by General Li Mu for ten years and did not dare to go south. They were also beaten by Meng Tian and ran around with their heads in their hands. But today's Xiongnu,
The Huns are no longer the same as before. After reunification, the Huns are even more powerful, and the other side has an advantage over us that is difficult for us to overcome!"
"The king is talking about cavalry?" Xiao He said: "Although cavalry has an advantage, its endurance is a problem. The Han army is defending the city, and the Huns are the main cavalry force and it will not help."
"No! The Huns' cavalry is not as weak as you think!" Wang Buxu suddenly realized that even if he had been vaccinated, it was still difficult for these people to take the Huns seriously.
It can even be said that I look down on them and despise them from the bottom of my heart.
Moreover, this phenomenon does not only exist among individual people, but almost all of Zhuxia have the same view.
But when I think about it, I don't think there's anything unusual about it.
If Xiao He could realize the power of the Xiongnu now, would there still be a Baideng siege in history?
When did the Xiongnu really rise?
Right now, the six kingdoms are in chaos, Qin is tired of dealing with it, Meng Tian commits suicide, and the Great Wall Army that was preparing to attack the Xiongnu has stopped.
The nomads instantly lost all external pressure. Suddenly a genius appeared, and then gradually devoured the small tribes, then the medium tribes, and finally the large tribes.
Using strong means to bring them together, the Central Plains stabilized, but that was only seven or eight years later in history.
The newly established Han Dynasty realized that the Xiongnu had become stronger, but it had not yet fully paid attention to it ideologically, so the Baideng siege came into being.
"According to the reports from the scouts, the horses of the Huns are almost all high-quality war horses. As for the endurance problem of the war horses that has been bothering Zhu Xia, it is not a problem for the Huns. It is very easy for them to equip three high-quality war horses per person.
And the nomads who grew up on horseback can even change horses while their war horses are running at high speed."
"In addition, Gu also received another news, saying that it was a tribe of the Xiongnu. In order to quickly defeat another tribe, thousands of warriors from this tribe galloped four hundred miles a day on their war horses, taking advantage of the main force who was out.
Capture this tribe before coming back and force the other party to surrender." Wang Buxian said with a serious look on his face.
"Four hundred miles a day? Can we still fight? Isn't that a little impossible?" Zhang Han was shocked.
Although he was born as a civil servant, he had worked in Qin Ting for so long and had heard about everything.
Being able to run four hundred miles a day would make even an orderly soldier half exhausted, let alone an all-round assault by a large corps, and they would have to fight in the future.
In Zhang Han's opinion, this seems to be contrary to common sense?
"Nothing is impossible. In the eyes of the Huns, it is impossible for our soldiers to walk hundreds of miles a day on their legs. We have relied on our legs to eat since we were young, so we can do it. Nomads urinate
They grew up on horses, why can't they do it?" Wang Buxu said righteously.
"..."
"..."
Everyone was stunned. This was the first time they heard this news.
Even if Zhao and Qin had fought against the Hu people before, they only knew that the Hu people were cavalry and could come and go freely. When they fought, it was not about themselves, but when the Hu people came.
A more powerful general, such as Li Mu, could use his tactics to defeat the Hu people and nearly annihilate their entire army.
It was so close that even though Li Mu laid a dragnet, some of the Hu people still escaped by relying on the maneuverability of their horses.
Including Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty, they were almost passively defensive.
If they could take the initiative to attack, why did various countries build the Great Wall before?
Have nothing to do after eating?
"Your Majesty, if this is really the case, I'm afraid we will have to continue building the Great Wall..." Guan Ying said with a solemn expression.
Although building the Great Wall is very difficult, the effect is very good and it is more conducive to defense.
"It's not necessary. Defense can only be passive. When can we truly eradicate the Xiongnu, the next biggest hidden danger to the Han Dynasty?" Wang Buxu smiled slightly.
Suddenly I felt like I was really a genius.
Taking advantage of the Xiongnu incident, everyone can truly have a better understanding of the Xiongnu.
At least now they no longer have the indifferent expressions they had just now.
At the same time, you can also show your far-reaching vision.
This is so cool, I'll give it a perfect score myself first...
Without keeping everyone waiting, Wang Buxu continued: "Today's destruction of Chu is a practice for tomorrow's destruction of the Huns. The Huns will not gather together to come to us on their own initiative. On the grassland, the Huns' mobility is
Stronger. Although the four of you have the ability to lead troops on your own, you still need to further strengthen your thinking. For this expedition, you must imagine the Chu army as the Huns. If reinforcements came from other places, it should have been four days.
