Chapter 307(1/2)

The main forces in the north are Guan Ying and Han Xin. Wang Buxu had already told Guan Ying about this.

Let him serve as Minister of War just because there is no more suitable person than him.

Han Xin can do the preliminary preparations, and Guan Ying can figure out the inside in Luoyang.

When the time comes for the real decisive battle, Guan Ying and Han Xin will lead the two armies and set off at the same time.

This is a strategic arrangement made early in the morning.

As for why I chose Guan Ying, it was because Guan Ying was China's first truly professional cavalry general in history.

Liu Bang's cavalry was formed by Guan Ying and performed miraculous feats.

This shows that Guan Ying has certain talents in this area.

Professional people do professional things.

This is the attitude of the king who is not hungry.

Based on this attitude, the following series of arrangements were made.

Guan Ying and Han Xin were in charge of the north, Wang Li was in charge of the south, and Chen Tieshan was in charge of the southwest.

To summarize, they are the cavalry in the north, the jungle army in the south, and the mountain army in the southwest.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can directly form three specialized arms, so that we can directly and quickly respond to various strategic arrangements in the future.

The cavalry can not only be used to conquer the Xiongnu, but also can be used to conquer the west.

The jungle army can cope with the complex jungle terrain in the south. After professional training, this army will be unstoppable when it goes south.

Even the natives living in the jungle are powerless when facing soldiers who have undergone professional jungle training.

The mountain army is even more important. There is a large area of ​​land in the southwest waiting to be developed.

Wang Buxin doesn't know how much territory he can open up in his life, but he will sow the seeds and guide the direction.

Of course, Wang Buxu knew better that only a professional army could adapt to the expedition strategy.

This was the first time that Han Xin heard Wang Buxu's strategy, and it was also the first time that he felt the grand blueprint in Wang Buxu's heart.

If these goals can be achieved, then what height will the Han Kingdom reach?

Although it is just an outline now, not even a single unit has been formed yet.

Han Xin was only twenty-five years old, but even Han Xin was not necessarily sure how far he would be able to witness the Han Dynasty in his lifetime.



At the same time, the distant Jiuyuan County.

Crossed the Great Wall and crossed the river.

From the bustle of people in the Central Plains to the desolation here.

Often after walking for a long time, there is no sign that anyone has lived there.

Compared with the Central Plains, this place is really desolate.

But I have to admit that this natural environment is suitable for raising war horses.

After walking for another two days, Lu Jia finally saw the herdsmen grazing.

This land that originally belonged to the Qin Dynasty has been occupied by the Yuezhi people after two years of chaos.

Natural pastures, abundant pastures and water sources, batches of fat horses, and then looking at the not thin horse under my crotch, I suddenly felt that it was as thin as a skeleton.

"Hey, I don't know if those are war horses. If the Yuezhi people's horses are of this quality, the nomads would be really scary." Looking at the groups of horses, cattle and sheep, Lu Jia couldn't help but look at them.

The deputy envoy beside him sighed.

Well, his deputy.

He is an old acquaintance, a former subordinate of Liu Bang, Sui He.

Although they fled separately, He He was caught earlier than Liu Bang.

However, Suihe didn't have the kind of strength that Liu Bang had. Knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, he simply surrendered.

I am just a small person, I have done everything I can do.

Although he had previously urged Liu Bang to defect to the Han Kingdom, he did not persuade him again after Liu Bang clearly refused.

He still assisted Liu Bang diligently, but his talents were not in this area.

If you are willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, if you don’t surrender now, then when will you wait?

Of course, Suihe also showed his loyalty. He cried hard after hearing that Liu Bang contracted the plague and died.

So, there is no need to talk about the Holy Mother.

He wanted to vote, but he still waited for his old master to be gone before voting. No one in the world could find anything wrong with what he did.

"This was our territory, but now it has become their pasture, and we have to ask for help from him..." Suihe sighed, with an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

When you stay in the country, you might just feel the turmoil in the country, just how many people have died and the people in power have changed. There doesn't seem to be much else.

But only when you really go outside can you realize firsthand how serious the country's turmoil and loss of control over changes in surrounding events are.

If there was no turmoil, the Qin Dynasty, which firmly controlled the Hetao area, would not have many high-quality war horses.

With this treasure land, hundreds of thousands of qualified and excellent war horses can be tamed within ten years.

Historically, there were two stages in the improvement of the cavalry troops of the Han Dynasty. The first was after the war against the Huns, they obtained some war horses from the Huns, which gave the Han army a certain cavalry offensive capability.

This is a turning point.

The second turning point came after Huo Qubing regained the Hetao area.

At this time, the Han Dynasty had its own horse breeding land. From then on, after several years of management, the Han Dynasty no longer lacked outstanding war horses.

From then on, the Han Dynasty had the ability to continuously export to the Huns and develop the Western Regions.

"Let's go! Go talk to those herdsmen and ask them to take us to the royal court!" Lu Jia sighed deeply and continued on his way.

Going on missions these days is quite a happy time.

At least Lu Jia and the others won't encounter Zhang Qian or Ban Chao being intercepted by the Huns.

Strictly speaking, this mission did not leave the territory of the country, although this territory is not under their control now.

Herdsmen need to drive large groups of horses, cattle and sheep when grazing. Naturally, they cannot move very fast, and they move almost like a stroll.

Soon, the soldiers sent by Lu Jia to contact him came back with a herdsman.

He was the son of a herdsman. He was originally scared when he saw the Han army coming. After explaining his intention, the herdsmen asked his son to lead the envoy to the Yuezhi Royal Court.

Along the way, Lu Jia learned a lot about the situation in the north.

For example, talk about the defeat of the Yuezhi, the current power of the Xiongnu, etc.

He even learned about the living habits and combat habits of the nomads.

There is no problem between the army and the people among the nomads. An adult man who mounts a horse and holds a weapon is a soldier, and a man who does not hold a weapon is a herdsman.

"Han envoys, why do you call them Han envoys? I heard people say before that shouldn't they be called Qin envoys? Or did the First Emperor confer Meng Tian the title of King of Han?" The herdsman's son was named Achar. After traveling together for three days, they started to talk to each other.

After getting acquainted, he took the initiative to ask.

In the first three days, Lu Jia basically asked a question and he answered.

As for why?

Of course I'm afraid.

There was Li Mu of the Zhao State before him, and Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty behind him. Although Li Mu's time passed, how long did it take for Meng Tian to pass?

Meng Tian's reputation still has a great deterrent effect on the grassland.

Therefore, no matter whether they are the Xiongnu or the Yueshi, all grassland peoples subconsciously believe that they cannot defeat the Central Plains Dynasty.

It was not until the Siege of Baideng that the grassland peoples saw the weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty, and began a century-old war.

The Central Plains Dynasty didn’t know much about the grasslands, and the grasslands didn’t know much about the Central Plains Dynasties.

Whether the higher-ups knew about it is another matter. Anyway, Achar didn't know.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked such a childish question.

Lu Jia smiled and replied: "Han envoy naturally means Han envoy. I am from Han, and we are all from Han. The first emperor passed away five years ago. His son imposed tyranny, and the people suffered terribly."

After saying that, all the princes in the world raised their troops to attack the Qin Dynasty one and a half years ago, and a few months ago, they wiped out all the resisting forces. Now the Han Dynasty has completely replaced the Qin Dynasty and became the Qin Dynasty.

The only dynasty in the Central Plains."

"What? You can actually defeat Qin?" Achar looked very shocked.

That was the State of Qin. He had never seen the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, but he had heard about it.

The only time they, the grassland people, can take advantage is when they are not garrisoned.

If they attack face to face, they will definitely be beaten to death. Although the Qin army cannot catch up with them, even if they drop a piece of meat, they cannot bite the same size piece of meat from the Qin army.

To put it more bluntly, it would be impossible to attack the Qin army's prairie cavalry even if they were replaced.
To be continued...
