When Yi Zong heard this, he couldn't bear to be excited, and almost shouted: "Of course I'll grab them all!"
At this time, he was no longer Dongchenghou, the cavalry general of the Han Empire.
He seemed to have returned to seven years ago, in the vast swamps and wilderness of Hedong County. He and Zhang Cigong went out day and night, committing plagiarism and stealing. When they encountered a fat sheep, they would inevitably want to take action.
Originally, Yi Zong thought that he had already washed away his banditry and became a noble.
But now he realizes that he has never been a nobleman.
In his heart, he is actually still the bandit, the road bully, the green forest hero who kills people and sells goods!
When the Han generals heard this, they were all very excited: "General, what do you think we can do to rob it?"
At this moment, the entire senior leadership of the Han army did not look like Master Wang at all.
On the contrary, they are like a group of bandits who have gathered to cause chaos and occupy the mountain as king.
no way!
In this world, money is alluring!
As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food.
For Han Dynasty soldiers, a good horse, especially a good horse that can be used as a breastplate riding horse, is the most precious treasure and the most valuable treasure in the world.
It’s hard to change even a thousand pieces of gold!
Especially now, within the main field army of the Han family, there is a strong sense of collective honor and belonging.
After the Battle of Gaoque, the emperor ordered the Yushi Yamen to send personnel to all armies to organize and sort out military history, which elevated this collective sense of honor and belonging to the extreme!
Especially the officers, their sense of identification with their troops has soared to an extreme.
This made the military's hilltop doctrine popular for a while.
But the feeling of comradeship is also deeper.
Nowadays, among the various branches of the Han army, influenced by Gongyang School thought and Legalist thought, a trend of "Today I am proud of the army, and tomorrow the army will be proud of me" has arisen among the educated officer class.
And the one who started this rhythm was Yizong’s Yulin Wei.
According to the current Han military law and spoils distribution principles, under normal circumstances, whoever captures the spoils benefits.
In other words, if everyone can capture the batch of Dayuan horses and Wusun horses on the opposite side.
Maybe, you guys can't enjoy these war horses right now.
They will be used as stallions, bred and trained in the Han family's horse farm.
But their next generation will definitely be given priority to the big ones.
In the future, your own name will remain on top of military and team history, allowing those who come after you to admire and worship you. In the future, your own army will be able to overwhelm other competitors.
For example, the Thorny Gate Army and the Ba Shang Army.
Even Yueyu Linwei and Hubenwei!
Who doesn’t want to be the next Uncle Tian, Wei Shang, and Luan Bu?
Not to mention these senior officers, even the Sima team leaders below were extremely excited after hearing about it and couldn't help themselves.
Now, among the Han armies, the comparison is that which army has more breastplates.
Second is the training situation and combat effectiveness.
Moreover, usually, the number of breastplates represents the combat effectiveness and ranking of this army as well as the amount of resources it enjoys.
After the excitement passed, Yi Zong began to calm down.
He knew that even when he was a green forest hero in Hedong County, he still had to use strategies when encountering fat sheep.
Moreover, his current strategic goal is to divide and surround the main force of the Huns and defeat them one by one.
These good horses really moved his heart, but he couldn't act recklessly.
He raised his hand and said: "I have received an order from the general: as long as we wait for General Li Guang's carrier pigeon, our army will go south immediately!"
As for these Dayuan horses and Wusun horses...
Then just leave it with the Huns first.
They can't run away anyway.
Of course, if these Huns don't know whether to live or die, then it doesn't matter if they are eaten first!
"Send a carrier pigeon to inform Captain Guo..." Yi Zong continued: "Please ask Captain Guo to go a hundred miles south, then detour from Chaoshan, cross Kaishui, and wait for orders on the north bank of Kaishui!"
"promise!"
As for the white sandalwood?
Of course Yi Zong would not fight.
It was a dead place. Even if it was defeated, it would still face a crazy siege by the Huns, and the Han army now only had a little more than two days of rations left in reserve.
Even if you include the milk produced by him and the war horse, it can only last for one or two days at most.
Therefore, Yi Zong first had to replenish supplies for the Han army.
Sun Tzu's Art of War goes like this: Eat one bell of the enemy, and treat me ten bells!
The livestock that the Huns hoarded after Yaoyang was the goal of his trip, even the most important goal!
If all these livestock are eaten or killed, the main force of the Xiongnu will be in crisis of food shortage, or at least food shortage.
Without their food source, the Huns would become dead snakes!
No matter how many cavalry they have and how strong their army is, they will slowly be dragged to death.
…………………………
At this time, Li Guang was inspecting the Han army's logistics base in Kuangping.
The most intense battle in this battle was not at Yuyang Fortress.
It was the Great Wall in the Xixi-Kangping area that he was defending. In the past month, the Huns had assembled a force of seven thousand horses and violently attacked this place in turn.
The Great Wall defense line, from Huixi to Huayansai, is hundreds of miles long. As long as the Huns break through this area, the Han army will have to fight with them in Huangping.
Because, if the roughness is lost, the gates of Jicheng will be wide open.
The condescending Xiongnu cavalry could push the frontline to Pinggu in one day, cut off the Han army's connection with Youbeiping County, and at the same time outflank the Yuyang Fortress.
In this way, the entire Yanji defense line will collapse instantly.
The lives of millions of people in the Yan Kingdom are at stake.
Therefore, Li Guang led the soldiers of Yuyang County here and fought to the death with the Xiongnu to this day.
Before the war, Yuyang County had 14,000 county soldiers, organized into five military divisions. One of them assisted Bo Shi's defense in Yuyang Fortress, and the other four were all led by Li Guang to defend the Xixi-
The slippery salt area.
In the beginning, before reinforcements from the Yan State arrived, the soldiers of Yuyang County suffered huge casualties.
In just three days, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed and 5,000 were wounded.
Almost the entire line of defense is crumbling.
At the critical moment, the sailors from Louchuan Jiangjun Yamen joined the battlefield with weapons and armor.
Only then could this line of defense be maintained.
In addition, Li Guang's decision to establish the Han army's rear base in Guangping also played a decisive role.
If there was no leveling of the rear area, which could allow injured soldiers to receive medical treatment, allow the severely damaged troops to withdraw to repair, regain their combat effectiveness, and replenish their troop resources, I am afraid that both Xixi and Huayan would have been captured by the Huns long ago.
As the war continues, Li Guang's troops have become more numerous, like a snowball. Now, the number of troops under his command has reached more than 70,000, including more than 10,000 cavalry!
In Pinggu and Hunu, more Han troops are coming.
The crisis between Hui Xi and Hua Yan was finally resolved.
Now, it's the Huns' turn to have a headache!
However, Li Guang has no interest or time to think about the Huns' problem now.
He was walking in Guangping City. Now, all the private houses and government offices in this city have become treatment centers for wounded soldiers of the Han army.
More than 10,000 wounded soldiers were recuperating here.
Li Guang walked into each treatment center for wounded soldiers one by one, visiting and encouraging these soldiers and officers who were fighting tenaciously against the Huns on the front line.
Everywhere he went, Li Guang would personally change the wounded soldier's dressing and wipe his body.
This is also Li Guang's character.
Unlike other Han generals who were aloof and cold, he always acted in a civilian style.
Whether he was a cavalry captain at the beginning, or later he led troops to quell the Wu-Chu rebellion, or he served as a guard, or he trained new soldiers in Chaonase.
He is all like this.
Fighting with the soldiers, he has no airs and no general's temper.
His subordinates also trust and rely on him very much, treating him as a relative, like a father and brother.
It is precisely because of this that the Li family will prosper in his generation.
In the past, although Li Guang repeatedly returned without success, he was nicknamed the Lost General.
However, the Li family became more and more prosperous.
His elder brother Li Cai was promoted to prime minister, and his sons and nephews were all high-ranking officials in the Han army.
Therefore, Tai Shigong commented on him: The peach and plum trees make their own mistakes without saying anything.
It talks about the military morale and popularity Li Guang gained during his decades of military service.
And Li Guang's legacy was so profound that even after his death more than 20 years ago, there were still people who were willing to pave the way for his descendants and lead the way. At one time, the generals of the Li family could actually be compared with Wei Huo.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Li family's generals were the first generation of the Guanlong military aristocracy.
Of course, Li Guang doesn't know or understand this now.
He doesn't have that ambition or expectation either.
All he wanted in his mind was to protect Xixi and complete the mission entrusted by the emperor.
Just as he is now squatting down to give medicine to a wounded soldier who was seriously injured on the battlefield and is still unconscious.
"Let the military doctors take good care of you... Never let a soldier die due to medical problems..." Li Guang stood up and told the officer in charge here.
Unlike other generals of the Han army, Li Guang was not only a soldier, but also a doctor with good medical skills.
Even before joining the army, Li Guang himself was a doctor.
He could recite "Huangdi Neijing", "Suwen" and "Lingshu" backwards and forwards.
This is his family tradition. His ancestor was after Lao Tzu, and it was passed down to his generation, although it is already a branch line.
However, tutoring is still there, and basic education is still there.
When Li Guang went to Chaonese to take charge of military training, at that time, the military medical system of the Han family was just established, so Li Guang simply used his connections to get more than a dozen military doctors from the Imperial Medical Office, and then led the team himself, along with his relatives.
Soldiers have learned many battlefield rescue techniques.
Other help may not be able to help, but emergency bandaging and hemostasis can still be done.
Therefore, in this war, Li Guang's soldiers were the military doctors on the battlefield.
Three hundred soldiers rescued countless seriously injured people.
This also made Li Guang's popularity and popularity in the army soar.
Up to now, not only the soldiers of Yuyang County, but also the Louchuan army and the mighty Yan State who came for reinforcements also highly recognized Li Guang.
Therefore, after Li Guang gave the order, the generals quickly said: "Promise! I will live up to your expectations!"
After Li Guang left, the soldiers and officers in the wounded barracks started talking one after another: "The envoys and generals are all like Li Gong, so why worry about the Huns not being destroyed?"
However, there are also many people who are not too keen on Li Guang's approach and are even disgusted with it.
In the eyes of these people, the army is a place with strict hierarchy and orderly hierarchy. Military law and hierarchy are everywhere.
But what Li Guang did disrupted everything.
The dignified county guard, the lieutenant of the Yan Kingdom, and the general personally ordered by the emperor, got along well with the soldiers, and even drank and ate meat together, just like family members.
The soldiers and Li Guang were happy.
But the order and discipline of the army were also lost.
but……
These people looked at the army, then at the soldiers, and could only bury these words in their stomachs.
However, the snowflake-like bullets were already on their way to Chang'an.
……………………
Li Guang was completely unaware of all this.
He is not a person who knows how to play politics. Otherwise, he would not give up the prosperity of Chang'an and the scenery of Jiuqing and go to Nasai to train troops. He would still enjoy it and never get tired of it.
In the past month or so, Li Guang feels that he has been more comfortable than he has been in the past six years.
Chatting with the soldiers every day, looking at the battlefield and smelling the smoke, he felt like he was getting younger.
"General Li..." A horseman galloped from afar, came to Li Guang, got off his horse, and bowed: "General Charioteer and Cavalryman urgently send a message by flying pigeon!"
As he said that, he handed a sealed bamboo tube to Li Guang. Li Guang quickly took it solemnly, opened the bamboo tube, poured out the letter inside, and took a rough look. Li Guang immediately said to the generals behind him: "
Let’s go! Go to Xixi! General Chariot and Cavalry has an order: Our army must seize the main force of the Huns heading north at all costs!”
"Promise!" When the generals heard this, they were all overjoyed.
They and the entire army and people of Yan State have been waiting for this order for a long time.
It’s like dew coming out of a long drought! (To be continued.) 8
