Nine hundred and eighty-two chapters use Hu to control Hu
Shiqu Pavilion.
Strategic deductions are still going on.
Looking at the undulating mountains and rushing rivers on the sand table.
Liu Che and his generals are now thinking about the problem of Ziling.
In later generations, the geography of Ziling has been impossible to verify.
But at this time, Ziling was an easily identifiable landmark.
The roaring Yellow River flows down from the Hetao Plain. It goes straight to the Beidi County of the Han Dynasty.
Tracing up from Fuping County, the county seat of Beidi County, and passing through Qinglong Gorge, you will find the Hetao area controlled by the Xiongnu.
It is precisely because of the existence of Qinglong Gorge that Beidi County did not become a hot spot in the Han-Hungarian conflict.
Because there are steep mountains here, and the powerful force of the Yellow River's millions of impacts makes these mountains extremely dangerous and difficult to pass.
Above Beidi County is Shang County, and further above Shang County is Yanmen.
Yanmen and Yunzhong County are two intersections at the north and south ends.
Among them, Yanmen County faced the vast grassland, while Yunzhong County was like a nail stuck at the forefront of the Han and Huns.
Liu Che didn't know how much effort Guan Ying had to take back Yunzhong County.
However, judging from the map, today's Han Dynasty can have the upper hand in the struggle between Han and Hungary, and it should be thanks to Duke Teng.
The reason is very simple. Geographically speaking, the Hetao occupied by the Xiongnu was condescending, facing the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.
However, Yunzhong County was on the flank of the Hetao, condescendingly targeting the Hetao.
Yunzhong was therefore surrounded on three sides by the Huns.
Therefore, Wei Shang has been stationed in Yunzhong for more than 20 years and is respected by the world.
Any general who can lead his army to defend the city without losing it when surrounded by the enemy's heavy troops on three sides and still be able to counterattack is a huge achievement in itself!
Beyond the Han border fortress in Yunzhong, to the west is the Hetao, to the north is the Mongolian Plateau, and to the south is the so-called Great Wall garrison and pastoral area where the Han and Hungarian forces are intertwined.
Some of the tribes in these places are defecting to the Han Dynasty today, but they may invade with the Huns tomorrow.
Having breasts is the characteristic of a mother, and it is vividly displayed in them.
However, the problem with these guys is that they are too far from heaven and too close to Han and Hungary.
In the tug-of-war and confrontation between Han and Hungary, they still have room to sit on the fence and betray their teammates in every possible way.
However, once the power of Han and Hungary was imbalanced.
Their fate is self-evident.
Just like the Donghu tribe, either the Huns would attack them for their own safety, or the Han Dynasty thought they were useless and simply killed them.
Now, they can still feel comfortable.
Simply because Liu Che planned to catch them all in one fell swoop.
So, these guys can ignore it for now.
The focus is still on the fertile Hetao Plain to the west of Yunzhong's flank.
From the northernmost point of Yunzhong, turning to the west, is Shuofang County, which Emperor Wu later worked hard to build.
Now, we must go back and talk about the Yellow River.
The surging river has been scouring the land of the Hetao for millions of years.
When there are strong flood seasons, the rivers will flood the plains and form swamp areas on the plains.
In today's Shuofang County, there is such a swamp.
This swamp, according to reports from Han army spies and bribed Xiongnu tribes, is about a hundred miles long from east to west and dozens of miles wide.
This swamp was called Shentuze by the Huns, and later the Han Dynasty also inherited this name, and it was still called Shentuze.
Shentuze is muddy all year round, making it impossible for humans and animals to pass through.
And Ziling is just south of this swamp.
The Ziling Mountains are not high, but they are not short either.
It's about a few hundred meters on average.
It is like a natural line of defense, protecting Beihe and Gaoque behind it.
In the past, the existence of Ziling once restricted the Huns from mobilizing cavalry from Hetao to attack Yunzhong.
Because, if it wanted to mobilize troops from Hetao, it would have to cross Ziling.
But today, it has become an obstacle for the Han Dynasty to control the Hetao.
Behind Ziling, the tributaries of the Yellow River, or the former main river, are now flowing turbulently toward the east.
But it turned a big bend near Ziling.
Therefore, once the Han army captured Ziling and controlled the area.
We will immediately face the problem of forcibly crossing the Beihe River.
Not to mention the forced crossing of the Beihe River, even Ziling is not easy to chew now!
Because, in history, when Emperor Wu opened up Shuofang County, he established the seat of the western commander of Shuofang County near Ziling.
The famous Jilu Fortress in history books is located in the northwest of Ziling.
Therefore, it is not easy to capture Ziling.
The Huns operated in and around Ziling for decades.
Although no city was built, many camps were set up on the mountains on both sides of Ziling.
Now, a tribe named Ruolu has moved its entire clan to Ziling.
There are nearly 9,000 towns in total, with a total population of no less than 40,000, and a combat strength of between 5,000 and 7,000.
If they were to launch a serious attack and mobilize the whole clan, they would probably be able to pull up a force of about 13,000 cavalry.
They defended according to the danger. Once the Han army's attack was thwarted, they would immediately receive reinforcements from the rear.
From Gaoque to Ziling, even including the time to cross the river, the Huns cavalry could arrive within three days.
For the attacker, this is a nightmare.
In other words, Ziling must be solved within three days, and at least the main commanding heights must be controlled.
But the problem comes back again.
Hetao Plain, the terrain is open.
Ziling is one of the few commanding heights on this plain.
If you stand high, you can see far.
If the Han army swaggers past, the Ruolu tribe of the Xiongnu may be able to detect the danger from a hundred miles away.
If they attack by force, the Han Dynasty may have to pay heavy casualties in Ziling.
Not to mention the huge generation gap between the current equipment of the Han army and that of the Huns.
Even the British soldiers who opened up the gap of several generations were once taught how to behave by Uncle Black using bows and arrows.
The Xiongnu archers hidden in dense forests and mountains could do this. Although they could not defeat the Han army, they could disgust the Han army to death.
Just like the Qin army that entered Lingnan with the might of the strongest army in the world.
No matter how awesome you are, can't you be knocked down with just a brick?
Therefore, the plan of Liu Che and the top leaders of the Han army was to let the captured and brainwashed Huns prisoners of war and the leading party members use their flesh and blood to help the Han army break through Ziling's defense line.
Just break through Ziling's blockade.
Then, the Xiongnu camps, pastures and Qionglu on the back of Ziling Mountain are the prey of the Han cavalry.
However, Ziling is easy to break and the enemies in Ziling are difficult to destroy.
If Ruoru people are determined to stay in the dense forests and swamps of Ziling and Shentuze, they can come out from time to time to refresh their sense of presence.
Then, the Han army had to leave heavy troops in Ziling and its vicinity to protect its food routes and supply lines.
Another question is, are the prisoners and the leading party really reliable?
These problems have made the Han army so worried that their eyebrows almost fell out in recent days.
Of course, since ancient times, there has been no problem that cannot be solved.
Through these seven or eight months of continuous discussions and deliberations.
Now, the Han army has come up with a full set of offensive and defensive plans for Ziling.
On the sand table, the Han army's Ziling plan has been clearly marked.
Looking at the sand table and listening to the generals' explanations, Liu Che slowly imagined the Han army's attack route and troop deployment on Ziling in his mind. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that there was no big problem.
Liu Che asked: "What is the situation of the captured Huns soldiers now?"
The Shaofu Ling Liu She who was following Liu Che immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, under the inspiration of Your Majesty's holy virtue, all the Hun Huqi who were captured are grateful and grateful, and they wish they could be His Majesty's lackeys, eagles and dogs!"
The Shaofu Prime Minister Ma An, who was specifically responsible for this matter, also reported: "Everything Tao Hou said is true!" After saying that, he took out a thick silk book and presented it to Liu Che, saying: "Your Majesty, this is
A joint blood letter from the captured Hu Qi nobles!"
When Liu Che took it and took a look, he was so frightened that he peed.
I saw only sheets of silk books with crooked Chinese characters scattered all over them.
Each and every one of the Hun nobles who had sworn sworn ties to the Han Dynasty swore and swore: The emperor’s father must allow us to educate those compatriots who are still ignorant and do not understand the kindness of Wang Huayulu. If the emperor’s father does not agree,
It is meaningless for us to live. Please allow us to commit suicide to prove our sincerity!
Of course, this is the translated meaning.
In the actual blood book, of course, it quoted scriptures and expounded impassionedly from multiple perspectives from the Spring and Autumn Annals, Shangshu, and the Book of Songs.
There is no doubt that someone wrote the sample essay first and then asked these guys to copy it.
And it’s already amazing that they can copy these words correctly!
Liu Che looked at these blood books, nodded, and said: "The Yi Di have been educated and know the king's transformation. This is good!"
He took these blood books and handed them to the surrounding generals and princes to read, and then said: "Educate the world, make the kings transform into birds and beasts, this is what the three kings and five emperors did! The Xiongnu Jizhu family, cruel and tyrannical, perverse and perverse, started from the Great Wall.
To the north, millions of living beings in the thirty-six countries of the Western Region and the fortress are suffering from his tyranny! I am the Son of Heaven and have been ordered by Heaven, how can I not save it just because of the obstruction of a mountain?"
When the generals heard this, they all worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!"
There is no way around it.
There is no doubt that Hetao and Hexi are two hard bones to crack.
If we rely on the Han army to fight, especially Gaoque Fortress and Yinshan, God knows how many lives will be lost.
It is better to use the method of champion Hou Huo to cure the disease.
Let the Han army be the main force and the Hu cavalry the auxiliary force.
When there is trouble, let Hu Qi fill the hole.
All Chinese dynasties have used foreign legions or similar tactics to a greater or lesser extent.
Even the Manchus and Qing Dynasties once played the so-called Wall's Foreign Gun Team, and the Beiyang Fleet was once full of foreigners.
As for the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, the number of people who were barbarians or nobles of enemy countries and later became the lackeys of the Communist Party is hard to count.
Many people only see the disaster of Anlu Mountain, but forget the merits of famous generals such as Gao Xianzhi and Man Gua.
Moreover, today, except for the Han Dynasty, there is almost no such trend of thought in the entire world regarding nationalism and national consciousness.
Therefore, using barbarians to control barbarians and using barbarian cavalry to fight barbarian cavalry is naturally very promising.
All Liu Che and the Han Dynasty need to do is to control the intensity and pay attention to policies. (To be continued.)
