Although Liu Che despised the military ministers in words, in his heart, he knew that the Huns' invasion this time would not be something that could be easily dealt with.
Apart from other things, there are so many Huns.
How to fight is also a question!
After all, even if 200,000 pigs are charging towards you, it will take half a year just to catch them, right?
Let alone two hundred thousand people?
Among them, the number of cavalry is as many as 120,000 or 30,000!
Of course, this is just an estimate and may actually be less.
But even so, it is not an easy thing to deal with. Apart from that, even if it is out of respect for the opponent, the Han army must mobilize at least 200,000 troops!
Among them, the main force must be at least 50,000 soldiers!
Only then can he be barely qualified to fight against the Huns!
If you want to fight the Xiongnu in the field, you need to have at least 60,000 mounted field troops!
Thinking of this, Liu Che couldn't help but think of the battle plan submitted by Yizong and Zhidu a few days ago.
It can be said that the two people's plans have their own merits.
Zhidu advocated continuous resistance, and then when the Huns penetrated deep into the Great Wall, they would outflank them from the left and right wings, and then encircle them, hoping to fight another battle to level the city with the Huns.
This idea cannot be said to be wrong, and it is indeed the safest approach at present.
Because, by doing this, you can at least ensure that you don’t lose, and no matter how bad you are, it will still be another draw!
The Han Dynasty could accept a draw, but the Xiongnu could not!
If the Xiongnu cannot win a subversive victory to restore the decline, then after this battle, the military officials will wait for death!
The Xiongnu nobles would not spare him!
There are so many people who want to do Maodun!
only……
Compared with Yi Zong's plan, Zhidu's plan is somewhat inferior.
……………………
At this time, the 20,000 cavalry led by Yi Zong had already left Xiaoguan and were heading north along the straight road.
"General!" Captain Chen Wu, Yi Zong's trusted general who has always been guarding him, asked: "Is our army really going to do this on this trip? Isn't the risk too great?"
"Is it big?" Yi Zong smiled and shook his head, patted the opponent's shoulder and said: "Leading troops to fight is inherently risky. There is nothing safe or safe between swordsmen..."
"If you want to be safe and secure, then go to the examination. As long as you have enough knowledge, you will definitely pass the examination!" Yi Zong said meaningfully: "But war is not like that!"
"Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are the most important thing in the country, the place of life and death! Therefore, use the right combination and use the unexpected to win!" Yi Zong spread out the military map in his hand, pointed to the Shanggu area and said: "Our army wants to fight with the Xiongnu here.
For a decisive victory, if we use an upright formation, we must not use the breastplate as the backbone! However, our army is all light cavalry, so it is difficult to do anything! Moreover, the number of troops I lead is only 20,000. Even if I include the Loufan cavalry, it is only over 30,000.
How to contend with the Huns in the wild?"
"Therefore, I advise the emperor and say: Now that the Northern invaders have invaded, they are very aggressive. If we form a majestic formation with them, it will be like using our shortcomings to compete with the enemy's strong strength. Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory! It is not as good as gathering superior troops.
It is better to erode the enemy's military strength and injure ten of his fingers than to cut off one of his fingers!"
"The emperor also agrees with my opinion!" Yi Zong said: "Before leaving, the emperor told me: we must concentrate the superior strength of our army to eliminate the effective strength of the northern barbarians, and do not worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place!"
"This is mobile warfare! Destroying the enemy in motion, Qin's Bai Qi, Wei's Wu Qi, both became famous for this!"
……………………
In Weiyang Palace, Liu Che was also thinking about Yi Zong's strategy and was a little lost in thought.
Sports battle!
It is not the product of a certain person or a certain era.
Since Wu Qi, Chinese military strategists have known that the best opportunity to destroy the enemy is in mobile warfare.
The most typical battle example is the Battle of Yique commanded by Bai Qi.
In the Battle of Yique, the Qin army led by Bai Qi was less than half of the Han and Wei armies, and its combat strength was only one-third of the opponent's.
However, Bai Qi was like a battlefield magician, commanding the Qin army to get behind the coalition forces, and then defeated them one by one and cannibalized them one by one.
In the end, the Qin army defeated the strong with the weak and completely annihilated the main force of 240,000 people from the Han and Wei coalition forces.
The achievements of Shin Buha's reforms were ruined in World War I, and Korea became a minor victim from then on.
In this classic case, the most successful thing Bai Qi did was to use his troops flexibly, divide and attack together, constantly mobilize and play with his enemies, and finally defeated the Wei army in front of the Korean army and killed them in formation.
Gongsun Xi, then commanded Yique and wiped out the Korean army.
According to historical records, the three armies of the Korean army were frightened and fled in panic, but they still could not escape the fate of being blocked in Yique and being annihilated!
After Bai Qi, Han Xin took over.
Han Xing's troops can only be said to be unconstrained, like meteors streaking across the sky, difficult to eliminate.
However, like Bai Qi, Han Xin was a military giant and a political dwarf, and he was eventually killed and his family was annihilated.
Fortunately, over the years, Liu Che worked hard to collect and organize the "Huaiyin War Book" that Han Xin divided and entrusted to his subordinates, and published it as a military textbook. This is the comfort Liu Che can give to the Marquis of Huaiyin.
.
After Han Xin, the masters of mobile warfare almost disappeared from China. It was not until Huo Qubing was born that a new era began.
Now, Yi Zong can think of it and dares to propose the concept of mobile warfare. Liu Che is very optimistic about him.
However, it will take at least twenty days for Yi Zong's troops to reach Shanggu.
During this period, the Huns may indeed invade and break through at any time!
This made Liu Che still a little worried.
After all, the combined population of these three counties, Shanggu County, Yuyang County and Youbeiping, is only a million.
The population base determines that even if all the people borrow troops, the number of troops that can be used for defense will only be more than 100,000.
Considering that these three counties cover a large area, the troops will definitely be dispersed.
After all, there are many strategic locations that need to be guarded.
There are many places where they cannot give up, which also means that in the early stage, the Han army is likely to fall into the division and encirclement of the Huns.
It is very likely that cities will fall and fortresses will be lost, leading to the collapse of the entire war situation!
Therefore, Liu Che has been nervously watching Li Guang's speed.
Because, Yuyang County is the key to this Han-Hungarian war.
If Yuyang County can be defended, then even if the Huns win, the results will be limited.
It cannot cross Yuyang and threaten Yanji.
The loss of Yuyang may bring the Xiongnu army to Jicheng and cut off the land connection between the Andong Protectorate and China.
This impact is so great that it can even shock the world!
Therefore, Liu Che asked Ji An again: "Where is General Qingche now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Qingche should have made his way straight to the vicinity of Taiyuan now..."
Liu Che then nodded with some relief.
Li Guang should be able to complete the task perfectly when he goes to Yuyang.
Historically, Li Guang also became famous in this area.
And as an old guard, Li Guang can completely control the situation!
…………………………………………
At this time, Li Guang had just crossed the Fen River and arrived near Taiyuan.
He looked tired. In the past three days, he had been working day and night without sleep. He took his three hundred soldiers with him and set out from Beidi County, covering nearly a thousand miles in three days.
Hundreds of horses were killed!
The accompanying soldiers and officers were also exhausted and could no longer support themselves.
Li Guang also knew that he had to rest.
So, he asked his soldiers to rest and sleep in a nearby pavilion.
He himself, along with his subordinates, transferred to a carriage here.
Li Guang knew very well that this was the most important turning point in his life.
In the future, it all depends on your performance this time whether you will be a fierce warrior, make great achievements, and be respected by the world, or you will be an unknown commander of a new army battalion.
Therefore, even if he was lying in the carriage, Li Guang did not dare to waste time. He steeled himself, took his two right-hand captains, and discussed the strategy in the carriage.
"Your Majesty uses me as the governor of Yuyang County to take charge of the affairs of the Lieutenant of the State of Yan. I have great grace and great responsibility. Guang dare not act carelessly!" Li Guang bowed his hands to the two captains and said, "I would also like to ask the two Ming Gongs to help me.
I!"
These two people were young talents that Li Guang had dug out from Wuyuan after a lot of effort and even begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother.
If he hadn't been a guard before, he wouldn't even have been able to dig up these two treasures!
Because they are among the most outstanding students in the history of Wuyuan.
Some of the students who were once as famous as them now even have the title of Captain of the Breastplate!
It is said that almost all of them have had the experience of serving the emperor. In the Weiyang Palace, they got Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, Chariot General Yi Zong, Gong Gaohou Han Daidang, Qu Zhouhou Li Ji and even Yu
The guidance and teachings of Hou Luanbu and others.
Although he is young and his actual combat command ability is limited, his theoretical level is so great that even if Zhao Kuo comes, he will have to accept it!
When the two captains saw Li Guang being so solemn, they were immediately moved. They quickly returned the salute and said, "I don't dare, but I will do my best to assist the general!"
Then, Li Guang took out the map of Yuyang that he had almost turned over these days, and asked the two captains for advice: "In your opinion, where should I pay attention when going to Yuyang?"
"It should be Baitansai and Yaoyang Duwei's residence!" One of them said decisively: "Baitansai, blocking the Luanhe River in the north, looking at Yanshan Mountain in the east, with Huayan below it and Huixi River on its side! Since Yan,
It is a battleground for military strategists. I have read military books and learned that when the Yan general Qin Kai guarded Baitan, he defeated Hu's cavalry!"
"As for the Yang Duwei post, guard the Chaohe River and lean on Yanshan Mountain. If Yang is not lost, the white sandalwood flanks can be protected, and the Huixi River can also be safe!"
Another person also said: "I feel the same way... However, I feel that the general should pay more attention to the safety of Yuyang Fort! If Yuyang is lost, Yanji's door will be wide open, so we must guard against it!"
After listening to the two people's arguments, Li Guang nodded, put away the map, and said: "Now, we are all sleepy. Let's take a rest first and discuss this matter when we wake up. Tonight, we still need to set off under the starry night!
"
"No!" The two men nodded, leaned against the car window, closed their eyes, and began to fall asleep.
Li Guang looked at them and laughed in his heart, young people are good!
He slowly closed his eyes. Before going to sleep, Li Guang suddenly thought of his wife Zhang.
Before he set off, Zhang was already pregnant.
This is his first son!
What should he be named?
"Why don't I name it after the title of the highest-ranking Xiongnu nobleman I can kill..." Li Guang thought in his heart: "If you win a captain, you will be named after a captain, and if you win a household, you will be named after a household."
Name it, if you are lucky enough to capture the king, then name it after the king..."
This is also his long-standing wish and expectation for the next generation.
As a martial arts fanatic, Li Guang's greatest pride in his life was never that he had served as the Jiuqing in Chang'an City, let alone that he had been favored by Taizong and made him a Cavalry Commander.
His greatest pride has always been that he once led his army south to suppress the rebellion and killed generals and captured the flag on the battlefield!
He hopes that his descendants can be like him, shining on the battlefield and making contributions to the world!
Thinking like this, Li Guang fell into a deep sleep.
In his sleep, Li Guang dreamed that when his hair was gray, he was riding a war horse and patrolling the Great Wall border fortress.
A young man who looked very much like him when he was young followed him, waving his riding whip, and said to him: "My lord father, now everyone in the world praises you as a flying general, and some scholars even praise you and say: You can't say anything about your peaches and plums."
Self-contained, only General Li..."
But the dream suddenly became blurry again and turned into another scene.
He is also gray-haired, but he is in the Gobi. He and his army are trapped in this world filled with yellow sand.
Suddenly, a man wearing the armor of a Han general came to him and scolded him: "Why did the general get lost again? The general should go and explain to the emperor himself the crime of missing the deadline!"
"General...General..." Li Guang suddenly heard urgent calls.
When he woke up from his dream, he suddenly found that his back was wet. Obviously, what happened in the dream had shocked him too much.
The dream was so real that even after he opened his eyes, he was still in a trance, as if he was still in a dream.
Li Guang couldn't figure out why he had such a strange dream.
Am I really old?
With these things in mind, Li Guang looked up and found that it was already dark before he knew it.
The two captains looked at him with keen eyes and said: "General, it's time for us to change our horses!"
"Okay..." Li Guang nodded, remembering his mission, and asked: "How far are we from Shanggu County?"
"We have just passed the Taiyuan border. I think we can arrive in three more days..." A captain sighed: "In a few days, galloping two to three thousand miles, the general and we are probably making history! In the future,
Maybe someone will praise the general as a flying general!"
Li Guang was slightly stunned after hearing this.
Flying general?
In the dream, it seemed that the young man also said that he was a flying general?
It seems that this dream sign is a sufficient warning and must be taken seriously immediately.
"It seems that I should reserve more people in the army who can identify directions in the future..." Li Guang thought in his heart. He knew that he had always been a road fool.
I can never tell the difference between southeast, northwest and northwest.
When the Wu-Chu Rebellion was suppressed, I almost got lost several times...(~^~)
