Did Guan Ying and Han Xin participate in the battle?

This problem can be seen from this battle report.

First, the Huns went south. If Han Xin and Guan Ying participated in the battle, the Huns should not have much energy to go south.

Is the 100,000 Han cavalry a shoddy project?

Of course not, just say that equipment can crush the Huns.

Moreover, there was a battle at the end of autumn last year, which also proved that this unit has combat effectiveness.

Secondly, in this urgent report, Wang Li did not mention any mention of the Han army’s standard equipment in the Xiongnu army.

These are all at war, it's impossible to see clearly.

Needless to say, everyone knows how advanced the equipment of the Han army is.

If Guan Ying and Han Xin participated in the war and were defeated, were the Huns all fools?

Leave the more advanced equipment unused and continue to use their outdated equipment?

Based on these two points, Wang Buxu was sure that at least when Wang Li sent out this battle report, Guan Ying and Han Xin had not participated in the battle, or Wang Li had not received any news.

"Your Majesty is worried that the Huns are attacking from the east and west?" Chen Ping frowned tightly and tried hard to recall the contents of the battle report.

"Well, it's not impossible!" Wang Buxu nodded directly to confirm.

Now Chen Ping's brows furrowed even more tightly, almost forming a line.

"Then this situation is a bit difficult to handle now..." Chen Ping said with a serious expression.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, and continued: "The Huns first attacked with all their strength, and then retreated in time after finding that the attack was frustrated. They changed their tactics, continued to be frustrated, and continued to retreat. According to General Wang, the Huns retreated at a faster speed.

Unhappy, he seems to have the idea of ​​luring the enemy, so he did not attack, which shows that the opponent's general is not a reckless man, but understands some strategies. Seeing that Yuyang cannot be attacked, he may really shift his target to other places."

"Shang Shu Guan and General Han from Yunzhong County also led their troops to the expedition. If the Huns know this news, they will definitely think that Yunzhong County's troops are empty."

"If the two generals fail to find the main force of the Huns, then they may really move to the west..."

Having said this, Chen Ping suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Buhung, with a face full of shock and said: "Your Majesty, have you already arrived?"

"What's the point?" Wang Buxian was stunned for a moment, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, you must have calculated that the Huns might attack the east and west. Otherwise, why would you have left more than 30,000 troops in Yunzhong County? And why did you let General Zhang lead the imperial army to the border? And you also mobilized the country's young men.

Are the city defenders going to guard the border?"

"The Huns thought that when the two generals attacked, the western part of the Han Dynasty would inevitably be empty of troops. However, they had no idea that at this time, there were also more than 100,000 troops stationed in the western part of the Han Dynasty!"

Chen Ping's face was full of admiration at this moment, the kind that he couldn't stop.

have nothing to say.

Just ask, who else in this world can think of this in advance?

And it was also deployed?

There are more than 30,000 cavalry, although there are no generals at the level of Guan Ying and Han Xin to lead them.

But after all, they are soldiers trained by Han Xin. Their equipment and everything are the same, so their combat effectiveness is still no problem.

Not to mention the imperial army that Zhang Buyi brought with him, there were more than 40,000 people.

The cavalry trained by Han Xin are only stronger than the cavalry in combat.

Plus tens of thousands of city defense troops guarding the border.

It is basically certain that as long as the Huns dare to come, with the cooperation of more than 40,000 forbidden troops and more than 30,000 cavalry, these approximately 80,000 troops will be able to defeat the Huns without coming back.

Besides, the Yuezhi people are also here, will they just sit back and do nothing?

Not to mention anything else, if the Han army fights the main force of the Huns, and the Yuezhi people go crazy to steal their homes, the Huns will not be able to withstand it.

Wang Buxu felt a little embarrassed.

With all my conscience, I really didn’t consider this at the beginning.

Zhang Buyi was asked to lead the imperial army to the west in order to prevent the Yuezhi people from suddenly changing their minds.

After all, there was undefended fertile land in front of him, and Wang Buxian couldn't guarantee that the Yuezhi people wouldn't come up and take a bite.

As for cooperation and friendship, what do these things mean in the face of absolute interests?

However, Wang Buxu forced the Yuezhi people to provide leather clothes for the Han army. It is certain that the Yuezhi people were unhappy with the Han army.

As for why they only took 100,000 people with them and left more than 30,000 people behind.

This is purely because they are worried that these two people will finish these old bases and leave some people behind to use as seeds.

Of course, another reason is to use history as a mirror.

Of course Wang Buxu knew that the number of troops in the previous expeditions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not too large.

The first time there were only 40,000 people, and the largest time was only 300,000 cavalry, and that was also the final decisive battle.

At that time, both the Huns and the Han Dynasty were basically the most powerful in history.

Well, this refers to the history of history, not the future days.

In addition, Wang Buxu just hoped to use this method to awaken the fighting spirit of the Han people and let them know that the world was not peaceful.

This strategy was very successful.

However, Wang Buxu would never have imagined that this move would actually bring about sequelae...

No, it should be buy one get one free.

"Yes, I have thought of it a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I not listen to your dissuasion and insist on sending Bu Yi to guard the border?" Wang Buxu naturally accepted this compliment.

Although you get one for buy one, it’s your own deployment arrangement, isn’t it?

Therefore, this credit should be attributed to yourself.

Not only does it have to be calculated, but it also has to be calculated in advance. If everyone knew that this was a complete surprise, would I, as the emperor, still want the face?

"That's not right, Your Majesty..." Xiao He suddenly slapped his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Wang Buxian asked.

"The border in the north is so long, and there are more than just that section of the Great Wall that has not been repaired. The Huns can choose any place to go south, such as Dai County? Yanmen County? Well, I still think Dai County is more dangerous, because here

Whether it is from Yunzhong County or Yuyang County, there is still a certain distance!" Xiao He said.

It is not without reason that Dai County is dangerous.

There are also many mountains in the north, and the construction of the Great Wall is a bit difficult, so the progress has not been very fast.

Then the work stopped, so if the Huns captured the locals, they could go south through many roads.

Dai County is separated from Yunzhong County by Yanmen County, and Yuyang County is separated by Shanggu County.

It is located exactly in the center, where the Han army currently has the most vacancies, and it also happens to be a place where there is no clearing ground.

If the Huns choose to go south here, it would be really difficult for the Han army to stop them.

"No, they will definitely choose Yunzhong County!" Wang Buxu smiled slightly.

"Huh?" Xiao He was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Buhung in bewilderment.

"Xiao Shizhong's consideration is not unreasonable, but compared to Dai County, choosing Yunzhong County is more beneficial to the Xiongnu!" Chen Ping also explained with a slight smile.

Xiao He frowned again.

His main business is domestic affairs, and this aspect of foreign war is indeed his weakness.

Chen Ping also understood this, so he said directly: "Guan, the two generals Han are leading the main force in the grassland, and the order given to them by His Majesty was to march eastward along the line of the Great Wall. The weak main force of the Huns passed through Daijun and went south to scout.

With our investigative capabilities, we can detect these."

"The marching process of the nomads is actually fixed, and they are not traceless when fighting. As long as you find them, it is not difficult to catch up with them. It is easy to get lost on the grassland. Is it possible to get lost when you return home? So,

If the Huns choose Daijun, they may be tricked. The two generals Han quickly catch up from behind, and the first to be unlucky is naturally their logistics."

"The choice of Yunzhong County is different. If the Huns go north and then go south, it may be difficult for the two generals Guan and Han to find them in time."

"And the main force of Yunzhong County has gone out. Even if the Huns are not good at attacking the city and cannot break through the defense of the Great Wall, aren't there still Yuezhi people nearby?"

"With the wisdom shown by the Huns in this war, they should be able to see that the existence of the Yuezhi people poses a far greater threat to them than before."

"So, the Huns definitely don't want the Yuezhi people to continue to provide war horses for the Han Dynasty. Taking advantage of the vacancy in the western part of the Han Dynasty, they directly capture the Yuezhi people so that they can no longer provide war horses for the Han Dynasty. This does not mean fighting for themselves.

Does it provide years or even decades of development opportunities?”

"And once this war turns into a protracted war, the consumption of the Han Dynasty will also be huge. After all, we have to send troops to garrison the long border defense line, but they don't need it. They can do it at any time, even with a sudden thought.

The idea of ​​raising troops to go south is full of uncertainties. If the Han Dynasty wants to defend it, he must either build the Great Wall as soon as possible or continuously increase troops on the border."

After listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Xiao He nodded with understanding.

It seems to make sense. Defeating the Yuezhi people would indeed have a huge impact on the Han Dynasty's preparations for war.

After all, while the Han Dynasty was cultivating its own war horses, it never gave up the idea of ​​continuing to obtain war horses from the Yuezhi people.

And the attack this time was only possible because of the war horses obtained from Yuezhi, otherwise we would have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

The Huns were able to annihilate the Donghu in one battle, and some wise people naturally knew that they should give up those unrealistic fantasies.

For any force to be able to do this, it can only prove that there is one or even multiple outstanding leaders in this force.

And this means that from then on, the decisions made by the Huns were no longer random, but more purposeful.

"Your Majesty, in this case, you should send an envoy to inform King Yuezhi to gather his troops in one place as close as possible and get close to the Great Wall. This way, if the Xiongnu attacks, they can be at odds with the Han army." Xiao He said.

His consideration was very simple. Since the relationship between the two parties was good at the moment, and the Han Dynasty was still counting on combing their wool, it was natural to protect them when it was time to protect them.
