Four hundred and thirtieth chapters will be calculated
Although the nobles and ministers have status and military power, their methods are not as good as those of the Taoist Lord.
So in the end, the discussion... or it could be said to be the result of an exchange of interests, just as Dao Minjun wished, he took Xiang Shanjun and An Guohou to Gu Shi to restore the country.
Tongshanjun and Fuguohou went to the other two oases outside Gushi City, Qitai and Tuyu respectively.
Needless to say why Dao Minjun chose Xiang Shanjun, Xiang Shanjun is the future aunt king that he hopes to assist.
As for why he chose An Guohou instead of Fu Guohou, it was the same idea as Shen Bing's "supporting the weak and suppressing the strong".
The difference is that Shen Bing looks at the nobles from a higher perspective, while Dao Minjun looks at the nobles from the perspective of a good king:
If the Marquis of Fu Guo has a thousand troops, the Marquis of An Guo only has 800.
Although the extra troops were not many, only two hundred.
These two hundred people can be said to be nothing worth mentioning among the Qin army or the Xiongnu.
But when it comes to the pitifully small base of Jishi, the gap is not small.
At the same time, if Xiang Shanjun wants to regain Gu Shi, it is obviously impossible without soldiers. Just like Shen Bing said... just a few teams of Xiongnu reconnaissance cavalry can wipe them out. What kind of country can be restored?
So to choose one of the two, Dao Minjun naturally chose the weaker An Guohou.
There is one thing that Dao Minjun did according to Shen Bing's wishes, and that was to sleep in the day and walk at night.
This cannot be said to be done according to Shen Bing's wishes, but it must be done out of safety considerations... After all, at this time, my uncle has no capital to fight against the Xiongnu. If he is not careful, his country will be destroyed.
At the same time, Lord Dao Min was worried that the people would be detained by Shen Bing, so he took the people with him to restore the country.
Its marching sequence is as follows:
The three teams of reconnaissance riders in the front, each with ten men, are responsible for reconnaissance in three directions.
The main force of 600 followed closely behind and was responsible for occupying the key areas of Gushi City.
In the end, two hundred troops led 4,000 people towards Gushi. They only waited for the main force to occupy Gushi before entering the city to rebuild.
Dao Minjun has even allocated the manpower, which common people are responsible for food, which common people are responsible for city defense, which ones...
Dao Minjun's ability and ability are like those of a generation of wise prime ministers.
However, in Shen Bing's eyes, all this was like a child playing pretend.
What kind of virtuous minister?
And the minister, the prince...
So far, there are only a thousand troops in total, but they have been divided into several factions, and they are still thinking about restoring the country?
Not only do you want to restore the country, but you also want to fool the Great Qin Dynasty into fighting one faction after another to play power?
All Shen Bing could think of at this time was, "The temple is small and the wind is strong, but the pond is shallow and there are many bastards."
If you want to play with fire, let you play with it as much as you want. It can also serve as a model for other countries, thereby telling other countries in the Western Region that although the Qin army is benevolent, it is not stupid.
After the soldiers and civilians of Gu Shi left, the Qin army was ready for battle.
Shen Bing left only 500 men to guard the camp, while the rest of the soldiers came out in full force and followed the army's troops from a distance, a day's journey away.
Jiaohe and Sal were not far from my aunt, and it took Dao Minjun and his party two days to arrive.
When Lord Daomin heard that the reconnaissance cavalry had come to report that the Huns had indeed withdrawn from Gu Shi's city, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly thinking that this was a great achievement.
So he no longer had any scruples, commanding the soldiers and civilians to enter the city and build fortifications overnight.
What Lord Daomin didn't know was that while they were busy in full swing, several Huns spies were watching the movements in Gushi City from a distance behind the sand dunes.
For fear of alerting others, these Huns spies did not dare to get too close. When they saw someone entering the city and there were quite a few of them, they turned around and reported.
This is a trap set by the Huns.
To be precise, it was a trap set by Ge Yu.
Xunxu was suffering from the fact that the Huns were unwilling to withdraw their troops, but the Qin army did not attack for a long time.
So Ge Yu offered advice:
"If you want the Qin army to attack, isn't that easy?"
"We just need to pretend to retreat while lurking nearby."
"Our cavalry can travel more than a hundred miles a day. If we stay fifty miles away, the Qin army will not be able to detect it."
"I'll wait for a sudden come back..."
What Ge Yu said is right.
Although the desert area is flat and can be seen far away, it is still no more than fifty miles away.
Even if we use reconnaissance cavalry to investigate, it will not be possible to explore a fifty-mile radius in one or two days.
By then, the Qin army was already surrounded by Gu Shi.
There's just one problem:
That is, the Qin army is good at defending. What if the Xiongnu cannot attack for a long time after the Qin army captures Gushi?
So the Xiongnu destroyed most of the Gushi city wall before leaving.
Just destroy the city wall, which can be understood as the Huns venting their anger.
But the Huns decided to open big openings on all sides of the city wall.
This did not attract the attention of the nobles, including Lord Daomin.
This is not surprising. Dao Minjun's skills are only diplomatic. At most, he has some political acumen... It is too much to say that the political acumen is too much. The total population of my uncle is only more than 20,000, so how can he be called "political"
"This is almost the level of Li Dian in Da Qin, not to mention that Dao Minjun has not really managed these many people.
The other nobles, whether they were ministers with "heavy armies" or good rural gentlemen who were "young and promising," had no war experience, so they could not talk about any military strategy.
So they didn't think there was anything wrong with it, even if they saw it with their own eyes when they arrived at Gushi City, they didn't take it seriously.
But Shen Bing realized immediately that there was a fraud involved.
Shen Bing also asked the spy one more question:
"Has the drinking water been poisoned by the Huns or buried in landfills?"
The spy replied:
"It has never been landfilled. We have also taken drinking water from Gushi City, and it has never been poisoned."
So the Xiongnu's intention became obvious.
The most important and critical thing in desert areas is water.
If the Xiongnu wanted to vent their anger and make the Qin army or the soldiers and civilians of Gu Shi uncomfortable, poisoning the water would be the simplest, fastest, and most labor-saving way. Why bother to spend so much effort destroying the city wall?
And not only one side was destroyed, but all four sides were destroyed.
Therefore, Shen Bing immediately judged that this was a fake retreat by the Xiongnu to lure the Qin army to attack Gushi, and then the Xiongnu encircled and annihilated it.
This method does work.
Because the Qin army only has more than 8,000 men in the area of Gushi. If they want to stay in Jiaohe and Saer, the number of troops who come to attack Gushi may only be 6,000 or 7,000.
The tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops surrounded my uncle with fast horses, and there were gaps on all sides of the city wall... Not to mention dismounting and fighting on foot, even if they stepped on it, they could flatten my uncle.
If the main force of the Qin army is surrounded and annihilated in Gushi, then the two strongholds of Jiaohe and Saar will not be able to be saved.
Wouldn't it be possible for the Huns to regain the initiative by then?
This is also one of the reasons why the Xiongnu did not poison the water source... The Xiongnu also planned to continue guarding Gu Shi, so he needed this drinking water.
How could the Xiongnu have imagined that the thousands of people who "came to attack" Gu Shi in the dark were not the Qin army.
