Chapter 487: Combining Vertical and Horizontal (15)

When Bailixian walked into the study, Xiang Zhuang was carefully looking at the map of Mobei on the screen. According to the information provided by Eumu Cliff, Maodun's Shanyuting was at the foot of Yanran Mountain. Yanran Mountain, which is Hang Ai Mountain, belongs to the outer Mongolian territory and is about 4,000 miles away from Jiangdong. Even if the cavalry marched in a hurry, it would take almost a month to walk.

"See the King." Baili Xian bowed respectfully to Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang did not look back, but just waved his hand and said, "Ziliang, you can read the secret letter on the case first."

Bailixian immediately picked up the secret letter from the desk, and after reading it hurriedly, his face changed slightly, and he said, "This Maodun is quite eye-catching. It is the time to use troops to various Hexi troops at this time."

Xiang Zhuang turned around and asked Baili Xian: "Ziliang, what do you think of the Huns?"

Baili Xian pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "King, since the Huns captured tens of thousands of craftsmen and hundreds of thousands of women and children from Yan, Zhao and Han last year, they will surely usher in a qualitative leap in farming, iron smelting, etc. It is not a terrifying statement. At most, in ten years, the Huns will become a confidant of the Central Plains countries."

Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly, and Bailixian wanted to go with him again.

In Chinese history, the Huns were not the opponents of the Central Plains countries at the beginning. Even the Yan Kingdom, which was the weakest among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, had the strength to drive the Huns thousands of miles northward. However, by the end of the Qin and early Han Dynasties, the Huns suddenly became stronger and posed an unprecedented threat to the Central Plains dynasty!

The reason was that in the chaotic times of the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Huns abducted a large number of craftsmen and women and children from the Central Plains. These craftsmen and women and children brought advanced farming technology and iron smelting technology to the Huns. They made the Huns use sharp iron weapons, and even gave the Huns a city and a stable agricultural harvest.

With these, the Xiongnu's talent was like a tiger, posing a great threat to the Central Plains.

With his eyes back on the map of Mobei, Xiang Zhuang suddenly said: "Ziliang, the Han Dynasty is weak, and it is indeed a good time for the Huns to use troops in Hexi; however, once the Huns army runs to Hexi in full swing, then for the Central Plains countries, it is also an opportunity? An opportunity to completely defeat the Huns!"

"Total defeat the Huns?" Bailixian said in surprise. "Why are the king, are the countries united to deal with the Huns?"

Bailixian was just thinking that the Huns launched a large-scale military force against Hexi. The Han State could not sit idly by. Once the Han army launched a large-scale assistance to Hexi, it would inevitably lead to emptiness in Tongguan, Xunguan and Hanzhong. At that time, the Chu State could take action. Even if it could not launch a large army to launch a decisive battle, at least it could also take a peek at Guanzhong or Sanchuan County...-/---Advertisement full text

However, Bailixian did not expect that the king would intend to form an alliance with various countries to deal with the Huns. The Han State would definitely be happy to see such a situation, and the Han State would also be the biggest beneficiary. On the contrary, even if the Chu State finally defeated the Huns, it would probably not be able to get anything except gaining the reputation of a "leader".

"Why not?" Xiang Zhuang said, "The dispute between the countries in the Central Plains is a dispute between the Taoist dynasty, but the Huns are alien races. There is a bloodline between the foreign races and the Huaxia race. Once the Huns enter the Central Plains, what we Central Plains countries will lose is the Chinese bloodline, not to mention that the threat of the Huns has increased significantly. If we don't take advantage of this time, it will be difficult to defeat it in the future."

Baili Xian said: "That's right, our great Chu will definitely unify the entire world in the future. At that time, we will inevitably face the threat from the Huns. Instead of facing a strong and powerful Huns and sharp-armored Huns, it is better to pay some affordable prices now and completely defeat them before they become stronger."

"What Ziliang said is very much my wish." Xiang Zhuang nodded, "then it's settled."

Baili Xian said: "In Hexi, Hunxi tribes are just small tribes, but Yuezhi is a large tribe, with 200,000 string control men. If the Huns want to pacify Hexi, they will have to dispatch at least 300,000 cavalry. This is almost a full move. In this way, the Shanyu Court at the foot of Yanran Mountain will inevitably be empty in the garrison."

Xiang Zhuang nodded and echoed: "So, there is no need to be too many troops to attack Mobei this time, but it must be cavalry, because Jiangdong and Mobei are more than 4,000 miles away, and they have to arrive at the battlefield within one month. //The fastest text update - no ads // It is impossible to do it without cavalry. Moreover, each cavalry must be equipped with three fast horses and one mule and horse!"

Xiangzhuang can imagine this expedition to the north of Mobei, and the price will inevitably be extremely heavy!

When marching in the Central Plains, you may also get some necessary supplements from the countries along the way. However, once you leave the Great Wall, the Chu army will not be able to get any supplies in the wind and sand of the desert. The nomadic people on the grassland have no place to live. Sometimes, you may not meet a herdsman for half a month. After the military ration is finished, you can only kill horses to fill your hunger.

Moreover, a long and urgent marching that lasts for 4,000 miles will inevitably cause a large loss of war horses.

But Xiang Zhuang insisted that as long as the Huns could be defeated and the threat of the Huns could be eliminated in its infancy, it would be worth it even if the Chu State lost all its war horses.

The game between Bai Mo and Bi Shu has entered the final stage. Both of them play the first 100 hands very cautiously. They have to take a long test for each move. It took nearly three hours for one hundred moves. However, after one hundred moves, the pace of the two suddenly accelerates, and they often fall off as soon as they pick up their hands. Both of them seem to be sure to win.

Zhou Guanfu, who was standing behind the two, was dazzled by Hu Yan.

Bai Mo and Bi Shu both made a move as if they were flying, and the number of pieces on the chessboard increased rapidly. However, the situation on both sides was not clear, but became more and more complicated. Zhou Guanfu and Hu Yan also had a little bit of knowledge about the chess, but they could not see clearly the situation on the chessboard, and could not tell who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage again.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Bai Mo looked full of confidence, as if everything was in control, and Bi Shu also looked calm, as if she was already sure to win.

However, no matter what, there is only one winner!

Moreover, as the number of pieces on the chessboard increases and the number of empty spaces decreases. Zhou Guanfu and Hu Yan both knew that the result was getting closer and closer. Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but feel their hearts, because when the winner was decided on the chessboard, it was also the time when the four people present divided their lives and deaths.

The ancients committed suicide by committing life and death and revered their promises, but Zhou Guanfu and Hu Yan never thought about destroying their promises.

Zhou Guanfu, Hu Yan's heart hangs unstoppable. A hundred steps away, the three hundred Tianlang Guards and the three hundred cavalry were even more tense and began a confrontation like a needle-like confrontation. Although the bet in the pavilion did not spread, the Tianlang Guards and the cavalry were both veterans who had experienced many battles. How could they not smell the smell of killing in the pavilion?

Lou Jing and Lou Yi just walked out of the gate with two thousand troops and met another Qi army.

Looking at Qi Jun who was blocking the way opposite, Lou Jing's face suddenly became gloomy, and Lou Yi felt even more distressed.

At the beginning of the formation flag, dozens of cavalry came out of the opposite army formation. The first general was the general Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi bowed to Lou Jing on the back of the horse and said with a smile: "Where is the minister of the country going?"

Lou Jing calmed down and said, "I heard that the Chu envoy Bi Shu was meeting with the Han envoy Bai Mo at Sanli Pavilion in the east of the city. I was worried that the envoys of the two countries would hurt the harmony and cause deaths. My Daqi was very free from the relationship, so before I obtained the King Hu Talisman, I took the initiative to transfer troops from the rear camp and prepared to go to mediate."

"It's enough to send someone to inform me of this kind of small matter. Why do you have to work for your grandfather?" Zhao Xi smiled slightly and said, "What's more, as far as I know, Bai Mo and Bi Shu were playing chess in Sanliting, did not hurt the harmony, so the prime minister doesn't have to do this too much, so please go back."

Lou Jing sighed in his heart and had to pull his horse back.

When Lou Yi was about to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, he was stopped by Zhao Xi: "Lou Yi!"

Lou Yi had to turn his horse back and look back at Lou Jing for help, but Lou Jing beat the horse away without looking back. Seeing this scene, Lou Yi's heart suddenly sank infinitely.

Zhao Xi smiled and said grimly: "Lou Yi, you sent troops without seeing the king Hu Fu, and you have committed a conspiracy to rebel. You will not take it down with me!" More than a dozen personal soldiers behind Zhao Xi responded, and then rushed forward to knock Lou Yi down, and tied him up with all his might.

In the palace of Ziling, Xiang Zhuang and Bailixian have begun to determine specific combat plans.

Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice: "This expedition to Mobei, the situation has changed rapidly, and the situation in Mobei is also complicated and unpredictable. Therefore, soldiers are more important than elites. I am determined to recruit all the cavalry troops, supplemented with 60,000 war horses and 20,000 mules and horses, and prepare for two months of rations and hand them over to the general himself to command. What do you think?"

Bailixian said without hesitation: "The general is well-read and well-versed in military tactics. Even Han Xin is not as good as that. He is the general who is the leader of the Huns. It is a place where everyone wants, and I fully agree with it."

Xiang Zhuang thought about it and said, "But dealing with the Huns is everyone's business. We cannot rely solely on our Chu family's efforts. Therefore, the Han State had to dispatch infantry and cavalry troops to restrain the Huns' army as much as possible in Hexi. South Korea, Yan State and Zhao State had to dispatch all the cavalry to cooperate with our Great Chu cavalry to conquer Mobei."

Baili Xian said: "If this battle can really defeat the Huns, the Han State will benefit the most, so the Han army should cooperate with them with all their strength. Under the pressure of the king, Yan State will most likely send cavalry to the war. However, Zhao State and Han State have betrayed our Great Chu and turned to form an alliance with the Han State. These two countries may not buy the account of our Great Chu."

Xiang Zhuang said unquestionably: "Then let the King of Han put pressure on Zhao State and South Korea, and I don't believe it. After Han and Zhao State betray Chu State, they dare to offend Han State!"

"The King of Han should not refuse this matter." Bailixian thought for a while and said, "But the matter in Linzi..."

"The plan for Linzi remains unchanged." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said unquestionably, "Although the Huns are threatening, Bai Mo is even more of a big concern. As long as you have the opportunity, you must eliminate Bai Mo without hesitation!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang turned his head and ordered Qu Bucai, "Old Qu, you should immediately send a letter to Linzi Feige and ask the general to step up the action."

"Here!" Qu Bucai bowed and hurriedly took the order.
