Chapter 1167 The Battle of Shule (1)(2/2)
I used humility and humility to exchange for the happiness of the old emperor of the Han Dynasty, hoping that the latter would be very compassionate and forgive him and his Western Huns.
However, the prerequisite is that he must make the Han army uncomfortable.
Must last through this year!
Otherwise, why would others talk to him about things that can be easily obtained on the battlefield? Wouldn’t it be better to get it by yourself?
Only by making them uncomfortable and making them feel that if there is a decisive battle, there may be losses and even major casualties.
So, when he was afraid of the rat, he saw those promises of gold, beauty, pearls and jade, and land. Only then did the old emperor and his ministers put pressure on the General Ying Yang and ordered him to withdraw his troops and retreat.
Li Ling is very confident about this!
After all, he was once a general of the Han family and knew very well what the officials in the court and the old emperor thought and behaved.
Those guys are so happy and have great face. As long as they give them enough face and satisfy their selfish desires, everything will be easy to negotiate.
At the same time, many literati and civil servants within the Han family hated to expand their territory and establish counties in the barbarian towns.
Not to mention the Western Regions, they even dislike the South Yue, Min Yue, North Korea, and the southwest countries that were already under the Han Dynasty.
They firmly believed that outside the Great Wall, no matter what Yu Gong had planned or the hometown of Jiuzhou, they could be abandoned.
The empire just needs to close the door and manage the local prefectures and counties well, and at the same time, it is enough to smile and watch the barbarians bite the dog.
In the best case, the barbarians and barbarians will kill each other and eventually die together!
Therefore, more than a month ago, before Guishan City fell, Li Ling ordered people to carry a lot of money to go to Chang'an City in Han Dynasty.
He bribed noble people, bribed important officials, and lobbled famous people just to cooperate with his begging for mercy next year.
Thinking of this, Li Ling made up his mind!
He called his close confidant Wang Yuan and ordered him: "General Zuo, I will order you to lead Jiankun ten thousand cavalry to sneak to Gumo, Qiemo, Jingjue, Shache and other countries, break it into pieces, harass and attack any Han army squad and its supplies that you see!"
"You must do it so that the Han people can't sleep and eat and sleep day and night!"
This move was used by the Huns when the Han Dynasty attacked Dayuan.
The effect is great!
So much so that the elite Han army was deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Dayuan battlefield for four years!
Therefore, after the victory on the Dayuan battlefield, in order to retaliate, the Han army slaughtered several Western Region kingdoms, including Luntai, on the way back to retaliate against these kingdoms in cooperation with the actions of the Huns.
Wang Yuan hesitated when he heard this. He bowed: "Lord, Gu Mo and other countries may not cooperate..."
Last time, the Huns lost their country after taking advantage of Luntai and other countries, allowing them to be destroyed by the Han army and massacred the city.
Since then, the Western Regions Kingdom no longer believed in the nonsense of the Huns.
If the local kingdom did not cooperate, the Hun cavalry would want to harass and attack the Han army's squads and supplies would be as difficult as climbing to the sky!
"Aren't Gumo King, Qiemo King, Jingjue King and others in our army's camp?" Li Ling said coldly: "Take them with you, if they don't obey orders, you can kill them!"
These servants and cannon fodders should have the awareness of servants and cannon fodders.
If the master asks them to sacrifice, they should not refuse!
As for whether there will be a backlash?
Li Ling can't control so much!
He knew that if the difficulty in front of him could not be overcome, then there would be no future!
………………………………………
However, the speed of the Han army was far beyond Li Ling's imagination.
Shortly after Wang Yuan led his army out of Shule City, the Outu cavalry sent a report that the Han cavalry had already seen the number of Han cavalry crossing the Gumo River, with a total of more than 5,000.
Well, their speed is several times faster than Li Ling imagined!
Li Ling even doubted whether these Han cavalry had wings?!
"How did the Han cavalry come so quickly?" He frowned: "Will the Outu cavalrymen be in a flash?!"
"Report to the king, I personally confirmed that the Outu Knight did meet at least a thousand cavalry of Han cavalry..." The nobleman who came to report replied: "How dare I deceive the king in this matter?!"
Li Ling then took a deep breath. The Han army's speed was coming too fast!
It was so fast that he could not imagine it.
"Didn't they bring baggage?" Li Ling couldn't help but ask, and then he shook his head: "How is this possible?"
In his impression, when the Han army fought, they always carried out their troops before they moved their food and grass.
After all, over the long history of thousands of years, the generals who were short of food and defeated were almost able to circle Chang'an City for a whole.
Therefore, when the Han army went on an expedition, the transport personnel of food, supplies, and armour were often several times that of the large army.
This made the Han army's march speed always very slow.
In the history of the Han army, except for the genius and the genius general of the cavalry who dared to act, no one dared to attack rashly without the support of the baggage.
After thinking about it, Li Ling ordered: "Send someone to catch up with General Zuo immediately and ask General Zuo to send someone to investigate immediately. I want to know immediately where the Han army's baggage is located!"
He didn't believe it, Zhang Zizhong dared to learn from Huo Piqi!
You know, even if it is him, he dare not learn!
Because I can't learn it!
Not only do you don’t have that ability, but you don’t have that courage!
