The four hundred and eighteenth palm, the old Shanyu who read the horse clothing book
"Father Zhong...when will we launch the attack?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"My child was born, but I didn't get to see him. Of course I was anxious... Defeat the Huns earlier so that I could show my father. My father always thought that I was not suitable to be a general and said that I was arrogant.
Ao, this time, I want to let him see if I am suitable to be a general!" Zhao Kang squinted his eyes, his face full of pride. He was eager to prove his strength to his father and stood beside him.
Li Mu just looked at the grassland in the distance calmly.
"After giving Touman such a long time, he should go back... and it's time for us to send troops."
"Then what should we do with these places we captured? Do we want Sima Shang to stay and garrison them?" Zhao Kang asked curiously, but Sima Shang on the side almost jumped up in anxiety. Why is this person so bad? Why are you all here?
Go out to get military exploits, why don't I stay in this inhospitable place? Li Mu frowned, he thought for a moment, and continued: "This expedition is quite far away, and the most important issues are supply and path finding.

"There are no identifiable objects on the grassland. We don't have a map, so we're afraid we'll get lost... So we need excellent guides... Let's find a few guides who are familiar with the local area from the Huns we captured earlier. Once we get out of here,
Even our own herdsmen don't know the roads anymore..." Li Mu said, paused, and continued: "The other problem is logistics. We have got so many livestock, so we don't have to worry about food.
..”
Li Mu looked at Sima Shang and asked, "Are there any outstanding generals in the army?"
"There is a young general named Meng Tian..."
"Ha..." Zhao Kang snorted in displeasure. Li Mu looked at him and asked, "Do you know this general?"
"Of course I know him. My family is very close to his. He is a person who relies on his father's reputation to act recklessly, arrogant and rude. He always bullies the children in the neighborhood... but he escapes punishment because of his father's relationship.
..." Zhao Kang said angrily that he was dissatisfied with this second generation ancestor, oh, the third generation ancestor.
Li Mu and Sima Shang both looked at Zhao Kang in a strange way. How come these words came out of his mouth and they felt so nonsense? Are you talking about Meng Tian or yourself?? Why do you think those who are relying on their father to act recklessly are
You! Li Mu didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. He looked at Sima Shang. Sima Shang's evaluation was much fairer. Sima Shang said: "He is responsible for commanding the crossbowmen under my command. In the previous battles,
Here, he was the first to complete the deployment. At the same time, when he was allowed to attack at will, he was the one who gained the most..."
"I think this young man is brave and fearless. He can care for his soldiers, knows how to seize opportunities, and can adapt to changes. He just lacks some experience. In time, he will definitely be a good general..."
Li Mu asked Sima Shang to call the general. The young general looked about the same age as Zhao Kang, but his face was solemn, which was completely different from Zhao Kang who always had a playful smile. He paid a serious visit to Sima Shang and Li Mu.
Even Zhao Kang, he is tall and straight, neither humble nor arrogant, he is a real general... Li Mu looked at him and couldn't help but nodded, this is Qin, there will never be a shortage of generals.
In other countries, after a general dies suddenly, there may generally be a shortage of generals, but it seems that Qin will not... There are more generals than one. Every time he conquers other countries, the generals in charge will be...
It's a trade-off... Li Mu looked at the young man in front of him and said: "I learned from General Sima Shang that you are a talented person. This time we go to the Huns, we need one to stay behind and ensure the transportation of supplies.
... Beware of other barbarians taking a detour to attack the empty northern counties."
"I am willing to listen to the general's orders!" Meng Tian bowed and bowed.
"You have to understand that if you stay behind, you may not get any military merit..." The generals of the Qin State care about military merit very much, because this is the foundation of the Qin State, and staying in the rear obviously means that this time
Don't expect to take too much credit in the battle. When you defeat the enemy, you will be given a little bit at most... But Meng Tian smiled and didn't care at all. He said: "General, I went with you to defeat the powerful enemy.
Defending the territory is not for yourself."
"I am different from those who fight to show their bravery." Meng Tian said seriously. Zhao Kang jumped up and pointed at Meng Tian, "Who are you talking about?"
Li Mu laughed loudly, patted Meng Tian on the shoulder, then looked at Sima Shang and said: "Then send out troops...annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop without giving Touman any chance."
At the same time, Touman encountered the biggest crisis. The Huns were unwilling to unite to fight anymore. The grumpy King Zuo Xian was his younger brother, and the seemingly amiable King You Xian was his middle father...
Touman's father spent a lifetime integrating the Xiongnu, arranging his family members into various tribes of the Xiongnu, and successfully controlled the tribal alliance of the Xiongnu. This also resulted in the "clan" having too much power. If it were Shan Yu himself,
If the power is strong, that's fine, but if Shan Yu is weak, the clan's ambitions cannot be curbed.
After Touman returned, the first time he drank with King Zuo Xian, a big crisis broke out. Touman didn't take King Zuo Xian seriously at all. His younger brother was just a fool. He was straightforward, didn't have much scheming, and was easily fooled.
Compared with him, the wily and scheming King Youxian was Touman's biggest worry. When the three of them first discussed the next strategy against the enemy, King Zuoxian clamored that King Youxian should be allowed to do so.
Come and lead the army.
His reason was that King Youxian had rich combat experience. He had fought against Zhao many times and his commanding ability was stronger than that of Shanyu. He should be allowed to command the army and return the army to Shanyu after repelling the enemy. In this regard,
, Touman just laughed. If the military power was handed over to his beloved Zhongfu, it would be absolutely impossible for him to come back. He might become ill from overwork due to the defeat the next day, and then suddenly die of illness.
King Zuo Xian proposed to let King You Xian command the army, otherwise he would never follow Touman to die. If Touman continued to lead the army, he would flee with his tribe and find a place to graze. Anyway,
The grassland is very big... King Youxian just smiled when faced with all this, and did not ask for or dissuade him. He had this idea, and Touman knew this in his heart.
"You are right. If you want to deal with people like Li Mu, you still need generals like King Youxian..." Touman said, he looked at King Youxian, and sure enough, he learned from King Youxian
There was some surprise and consternation on his face. Touman looked at him and said excitedly: "I'd better ask you to take charge of this war. After my defeat, Li Mu has been following me and is unwilling to let me go."
, he should not be far from here now."
"I am willing to bring the army to obey your orders. Please tell me, how should we deal with Li Mu?"
King Youxian was immediately confused. He had a lot of plans in his mind, all of which were used to force Touman to hand over the general power to him, but Touman agreed directly, but all his preparations were in vain. He saw
Looking at Touman in front of him, he thought for a moment and said: "As a Shanyu, how can I ask you to obey my orders? Why don't you just stay in the tent and I will lead the soldiers to defeat the powerful enemy..."
"You don't have to be polite. You are my elder. I am willing to obey your orders. Now that there are foreign enemies, don't talk about these anymore. Let's talk about how to deal with our enemies." Touman said and looked at his own.
Brother, he said seriously: "The previous defeat was indeed my fault. Don't blame me. This time, the three of us will work together to defeat the enemy!"
When King Zuo Xian heard this, his eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Okay, if you say so, I won't be angry anymore. Let's unite together to deal with our enemies!"
Seeing the two brothers who quickly reconciled, King Youxian only felt a little bit bitter, but before he could say anything, Touman began to seriously describe the enemy's situation. Today's Xiongnu, after suffering a disastrous defeat, has no way to fight again.
Li Mu and others engaged in a head-on battle. However, Li Mu had more infantry and less cavalry, so the harassment tactics could still be continued. To make their army tired, they also had to move their own tribesmen away from the flames of war...
The problem they are facing now is that if it is a small-scale harassment, the enemy can repel them through free counterattacks. If it is a large-scale harassment, it is difficult to say that they will not be attacked head-on like last time. King Youxian is not bad.
The veteran general of the Huns made a decision quickly. He frowned and said seriously: "If you want to defeat the enemy, you can only rely on the enemy's ignorance of the terrain and climate."
"Use the terrain to hide yourself, carry out surprise attacks, and quickly retreat... drag the enemy into winter, let them eat the cold wind and heavy snow of the grassland... cut off their supplies...", King Youxian is really
He came up with a set of battle strategies, Touman was silent and just nodded to express his agreement. In this way, the three families united in confusion, and with King Youxian as the leader, they began to think of ways to deal with Li Mu.
During these days, Touman stayed with his tribe and did not dare to go out. However, he showed special respect to King Youxian and served him as if he were serving his father. King Youxian was very satisfied, and his opponent Touman was
He didn't care about the military power here. As long as he defeated the enemy, with his reputation at that time, Shan Yu's position would be his no matter what. Sitting in the tent, Touman picked up the bamboo slips...
Yes, this Chanyu could read and write. He knew the Chinese characters of Zhao. His father once asked the captured Zhao people to teach him how to read and write. He also bought books from merchants, just some art of war and the like.
I bought a dilapidated horse service book, but these made Touman very happy. Touman is not a stupid and reckless bandit leader, he is a somewhat educated bandit leader.
Therefore, compared with other bandits, this Xiongnu Chanyu who had barely read the Zhao version of the Horse Service Book was much better in terms of planning and other aspects. Touman Chanyu's biggest dream in his life was to steal a piece of the Han Dynasty from Zhao.
The complete set of "Ma Fu Shu", the advanced systems, the surprising explanations, and the interesting games in the "Ma Fu Shu" sometimes make Tou Man unable to help but think deeply.
Can these systems be applied to the Xiongnu?
When he was studying, his wife, Yan, came to him with her newborn son in her arms. This Yan family was married into the marriage. Touman didn't like her very much, but the two of them lived well.
Harmony. When she saw her little son in her arms, Touman couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand to pinch her son's face, and said disdainfully: "Previously, there was a priest who persuaded me to kill him, saying that he was going to kill him."
Sacrifice to the gods!”
The newly born Maodun just squinted his eyes and yawned, completely unaware that he had just escaped a catastrophe.
But his mother was not so calm anymore. She turned pale, looked at Touman in front of her, and hugged the child tightly with both hands... Touman shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, Ma Fujun said it.
There are no gods in the world, and any sacrifice is a lie. If you want to sacrifice, you can only sacrifice to your ancestors! And using human sacrifices in this way will only cause household registration problems, you know..."
Mrs. Yan was relieved to hear that Touman would not kill her son, but she couldn't understand what he said next. She asked curiously: "Which god is this Ma Fujun?"
"Haha, he is not a god...but he is a very powerful person...you know, the world is very big, and we only live in a small corner..." Touman said with some excitement.
After reading what he read, he was stunned for a moment and said helplessly:
"It's a pity that what he said...I don't have the strength to complete it. One king of the world...how wonderful, and the supervision system that promotes filial piety and integrity..." Touman couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at this, Mrs. Yan had a confused look on her face. She couldn't understand it at all. Touman shook his head and looked at his son again. He looked at his son for a moment and said, "All this can only be left to future generations."
"When he grows older, let's send him to Qin..."
"Ah?? Why?!" Yan's eyes widened and her whole body started to tremble.
"Let him study. Let him go to Ma Fujun and study under him. Let him learn how to become the king of the world...how to assemble an invincible army of benevolence and righteousness..."
"This..." Mrs. Yan looked at the Shanyu in front of her. Many times, she felt that this Shanyu was crazy. She couldn't understand what he was talking about. When the Shanyu looked at her, she suddenly became confused.
He didn't want to talk anymore. He waved his hands in disappointment and asked her to leave with the children. After seeing them off, Touman walked out of the tent. Under the night, he looked at the bright moon in the distance. There were so many Huns, but there were no
Someone who can understand me, alas.
King Youxian said a lot of ways to deal with Li Mu, but in summary, it is better to avoid it, just to waste it until the enemy retreats... Even if the enemy retreats this time, it will not change anything. Only reform can save the Huns, and a complete official system must be established
System, formulate a detailed tax system... We must complete the one-kingdom of the world as soon as possible and end the disputes on the grassland... The more Touman thought about it, the happier he became, and finally he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
