Chapter 694: Bai Deng's History

Early the next morning, Guo Song took his sons Guo Jincheng and Xue Qing to Baishan Mountain, about forty miles away from Yunzhong County in the north. Guo Song pointed at Baishan Mountain in the distance with his riding whip and said with a smile: "This is a famous historical mountain. Cheng'er talks about this mountain."

The origin of the mountain?”

Guo Jincheng immediately said: "In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, King Xin of Han rebelled in Yunzhou and colluded with the Xiongnu. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he led an army of 300,000 troops to personally conquer the country. They fought and won consecutive battles. At this time, it snowed heavily, and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was overwhelmed by the victory.

Ignoring the obstruction of his subordinates, he personally led thousands of forwards to pursue the Xiongnu army. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by the Xiongnu army on Beisheng Mountain. He used Chen Ping's plan and bribed the Yan family, and he was able to escape after seven days and nights."

Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "There are many things in this story that go against common sense. Can you think of it?"

Guo Jincheng was startled, shook his head and said, "I don't know, kid."

Guo Song said lightly: "First, why did Liu Bang choose to go to war against Han Wangxin in winter? In fact, the reason is very simple. It snowed heavily on the grassland in winter, and the Huns could not come to aid Han Wangxin. Liu Bang chose to go to war in winter just to avoid the Huns army, but he did not expect that

, hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops have already ambushed Yunzhou in advance, which shows that there are spies within the imperial court, and the Han Dynasty's battle plan has been leaked and known to the Huns."

Guo Song continued: "The Han army only had a few thousand men, and the Huns had an army of 400,000. Why didn't the Huns attack the mountain with all their strength and capture Liu Bang alive? Could it be that Liu Bang's cavalry could go up the mountain, but the Huns' cavalry couldn't?

Another doubtful point is that when the 400,000 Xiongnu army marched south in winter, how could Maodun Shanyu bring a woman with the army? Even if he had the privilege to bring a concubine, how could the Han army know?"

Xue Qing couldn't help but add: "Historical books say that Mao Dun and the Yan family came in and out of the military camp and looked intimate. They were seen by the Han army on the mountain, and they hatched a plan."

Guo Song laughed, "A county has a population of tens of thousands, but how big the military camp of 400,000 troops would be. Can you imagine how big it would be? The Han army could actually see the woman's face clearly, and actually knew that this woman was Moton's concubine?

What’s even more incredible is that Chen Ping was able to pass through the many Xiongnu camps to meet Mo Dun’s beloved concubine, and Mo Dun didn’t even know about it? Chen Ping is so awesome, why didn’t he just send Mo Dun’s concubine to Mo Dun?

Where is the concubine kidnapped and taken back to Baideng Mountain? This is simply treating the Hun cavalry as a scarecrow."

Guo Jincheng and Xue Qing blushed after hearing this. There were indeed too many loopholes in this. Guo Jincheng asked: "What is the truth?"

Guo Song shook his head, "No one knows the truth, but one thing is certain. Mao Dun is by no means a reckless man. He knew that if Liu Bang was killed, the prince of the Han Dynasty would immediately ascend the throne. The Huns still would get nothing, and they could only reach an agreement with Liu Bang.

Some kind of agreement is needed to put Liu Bang back so that the Huns can get greater benefits."

Xue Qing thought for a while and said: "Could it be that there is no Yan family at all? Chen Ping actually went down the mountain to meet Mao Dun. The two parties reached an agreement, and Mao Dun only let Liu Bang go back."

Guo Song laughed loudly, "It sounds like this, but in fact you have all been induced by me. In fact, the real explanation is that there is no such thing as the siege of Han Gaozu Bai Shanshan. As Liu Bang's emperor, he only knows

Sitting in Taiyuan and commanding the overall situation, how could he lead the front army to attack Yunzhou and put himself in danger? This is the biggest loophole.

In order to cover up this loophole, they made up a story full of loopholes to explain it, which makes people feel confused, but ignores the fundamentals. Do you understand? Even if there is a Baideng siege, the one who is surrounded will never be Liu Bang.

It should be his generals, and in the end the Huns withdrew and were defeated by reinforcements from the Han army. This is definitely not what a woman said."

Seeing the two of them bowing their heads in silence, Guo Song smiled slightly and said, "I am telling you this with no other intention. I just want you to learn to think. Only through constant thinking will your minds gradually mature.

"

The group of people put their horses at the foot of the mountain and climbed to Baishan Mountain. There is a beacon on Baishan Mountain. Standing on the beacon, you have a wide field of vision and can see far away. If there is an enemy cavalry attack dozens of miles away, you can also

clearly visible.

Guo Song stood on a high place, pointed to the faintly visible peaks in the distance and asked Feng Suihuo: "Is the Great Wall in the distance?"

The fire chief said quickly: "It is the Great Wall. It was rebuilt during the Sui Dynasty, but it has been greatly destroyed by the Turks and Uighurs. It cannot stop the Uighur cavalry from going south."

"If the enemy cavalry goes south, will they bypass Baishan Mountain and attack Yunzhong County?" Guo Song asked again.

"In fact, it is possible. It is mainly at night. No matter how detours they take during the day, we can detect them from a distance. But if it is night, we can avoid the beacons by staying a little further. It is indeed more troublesome at night."

Guo Song smiled and asked his son: "If you were the commander-in-chief, how would you defend against the enemy's sneak attack at night?"

Guo Jincheng lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Haier feels that as soon as it gets dark, the city gates must be closed and patrols on the city walls strengthened."

Several accompanying generals praised the prince's wisdom, and Guo Song also nodded. It was indeed not easy to think of such a step at the age of seven.

But Guo Song did not praise him, but simply said: "This is just the approach of a qualified guard, not the coach's thinking. As a coach, early warning is the first priority. You cannot wait for the enemy to come to you before responding hastily. You have to

Consider this issue from the perspective of early warning."

Seeing that his son was still a little confused, Guo Song smiled and said to Zhang Yun: "General Zhang, you are the scout commander. Come and tell him."

"I humbly obey orders!"

Zhang Yun stepped forward and saluted, and said to Guo Jincheng with a smile: "The prince may not know the way of war of the nomadic people. Once they decide to go to war, they must first gather their troops. The tribes in the grassland are spread over a vast area, and they must send envoys with the Wolf Head Order to each place."

The tribe notifies the troops to send out troops, and the troops from all over the country rush to gather in Yazhang. This back and forth can take as little as twenty days and as long as one month. This actually gives us early warning time."

Guo Jincheng nodded, "I understand, but the premise is that we have spies on the grassland, otherwise we still don't know anything."

"That's the key."

Guo Song said on the side: "How to place spies in the grassland? This has always been a difficulty for the Central Plains dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty did this well. The Turkic envoy Changsun Sheng at that time accumulated a lot of experience for us. It used merchants and enemies of the enemy.

, and the Sinicized Hu people, they have mastered a lot of important information, which laid a solid foundation for the Sui army to defeat the Turks. We can definitely make use of these experiences."

"The child understood the meaning of the warning his father said."

Guo Song added: "The Han Dynasty did not rely on early warning to attack the Xiongnu, but took the initiative to expedition north, go deep into the grasslands, and take the initiative. In fact, we have enough war horses and food, and we are ready to take the initiative."

........

At night, Zhang Yun came to the central military tent. The soldiers took him into the tent. Zhang Yun knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said: "I see you, Your Highness!"

Guo Song was still looking at the grassland map on the table. For a long time, he slowly said: "Sijie is divided, and Uighur is likely to annex all Sijie tribes and become stronger again."

Zhang Yun has followed Guo Song for many years, how could he not understand his lord's thoughts? With Bai Shanshan's words today, he had already guessed his lord's intentions.

"Your Highness wants to take the initiative and attack Huihe?"

Guo Song nodded and said: "To attack Huihe, the key is intelligence. I have written to Li An, the former administrator of the Royal Shang Dynasty. He has a caravan in Xishoujiang City and is very familiar with Sijie's ministries. I have asked him to arrange it."

The caravan is heading north to investigate Sijie's situation for me, but we can only rely on ourselves on the Uighur side."

Zhang Yun clasped his fists and said: "I'm humble, please order me to go north!"

"This is the real purpose of bringing you to Yunzhou. I hope you can lead a scout army to the Turkic tents to explore their intelligence. The risk is very high, and ordinary scouts can't do it, so I have to ask you to take action."

"I will definitely be able to complete my mission and come back."

Guo Song took out a map and handed it to him, "This is a very accurate grassland map. You can pretend to be gold diggers and go north. I asked Li Cishi that there is a gold digger family in the city. The head of the household has more than ten years of gold mining experience. He will

I will take you north, and you can go to Li Jishui for the specific matters. I have already given him instructions, and he will make arrangements for you."
