Han Dao world

Chapter 516
Liu Xie looked at Han Sui and smiled secretly.

Seeing the old fox walking outside, he knew he couldn't hold his breath.

It's just that with Han Sui's temperament, the invitation to fight may be just a test, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he will really go all out.If the heat is not enough, you can't rush to lift the thread, otherwise there is a possibility of decoupling.

"It's not in a hurry." Liu Xie raised his hand and pressed it down lightly, the cloud was calm and the wind was light. "I just want to ask General Zhenxi how to fight so that we can completely annihilate the invading Xianbei people. Baoliang Prefecture has been peaceful for ten years. Although the wolf cavalry has returned, it is still not possible for the imperial court to send troops to the grassland. The Xianbei people came on their own initiative It's a rare opportunity."

Obedient and listening, Han Sui understood Liu Xie's worry as soon as he heard it.

This is not trusting my strength, afraid that I will waste this opportunity.

But he also had to admit that Liu Xie's worries were justified.It is a very rare opportunity to wait for work with ease, instead of laboring on an expedition.If the invading Xianbei could not be severely injured or even wiped out, and let them escape into the depths of the grassland, and harass them every year in the future, then Liangzhou would not be stable.

Liangzhou is uneasy, how can it send troops eastward?

It is not easy to injure or even wipe out the Xianbei people.

One is that the Xianbei have a lot of troops, and the Han army has no obvious advantage; the other is that this place is outside the Great Wall, except for the desert, there are no mountains or dangerous fortresses.It is unrealistic to think that it is the same as surrounding Fu Luohan last time. It is necessary to rely on frontal blocking and pursuit to expand the results, and the difficulty is not the same.

Obviously, if he can't come up with a plan that satisfies the emperor, the emperor will not entrust him with this task at all.He, the general of Zhenxi, can only obey the emperor's command like everyone else.

For a moment, Han Sui thought a lot.

He wants to take on this task, but he knows that this task is very risky.If you are not careful, you may lose more than you gain.

After hesitating for a long time, Han Sui said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I believe that this battle is of great importance, and we should discuss it with the generals, and gather the intelligence of the monarch and ministers to achieve a great event together."

"What General Zhenxi said is true, and I think so too." Liu Xie echoed. "All the generals are either young or lacking in strategy. Only General Zhenxi and Jia Shizhong are resourceful and can be good assistants."

Seeing Liu Xie comparing himself with Jia Xu, but not mentioning Ma Teng, Han Sui was pleased, but still said a few words of humility.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had a basic combat strategy, and proposed a plan to block the attack at every stage, to fight with heavy cavalry, and to pursue with light enemy soldiers.The heavy cavalry he was talking about was not nail cavalry, but assault cavalry with two armors and capable of assaulting with spears.

Assault cavalry is the advantage of the Han army.The Xianbei also had assault cavalry, but their numbers and equipment were far inferior to those of the Han army.The two armies fought head-on, with assault cavalry attacking each other and fighting at close range, the Han army had a clear chance of winning.Coupled with the cover of a strong bow and crossbow, it is not difficult for the infantry with shields to block the attack of the Xianbei.

This is how the Xiliang people have always dealt with the Qiang people. The Xianbei people and the Qiang people have similar tactics, so there should be no problem.

Liu Xie was noncommittal.

Han Sui's tactics cannot be said to be wrong, and it can even be said that this is a tactics that has been proven to be feasible in practice.In the Battle of Jieqiao, Qu Yi fought against Gongsun Zan in this way, and became famous in the first battle.

But not good enough, at least not up to his expectations.

This may be because Han Sui was not fully prepared, and in a hurry, he could only come up with such a plan.It may also be that Han Sui was just probing, expressing his loyalty verbally, and did not intend to really face the Xianbei people.

"anything else?"

"And..." Han Sui heard Liu Xie's dissatisfaction, and his expression was a little embarrassed.He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is stupid, please give me some advice?"

"Although General Zhenxi's men are brave, they are not as numerous as the Xianbei. If we fight head-on, we will suffer heavy casualties." Liu Xie smiled wryly. "The imperial court can't bear such a big loss, nor can it pay so much compensation. This battle must not only win a big victory, but also minimize casualties as much as possible. General Zhenxi, do you understand what I mean?"

Han Sui nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty cherishes the soldiers, and I deeply agree. I beg Your Majesty to give you some time to plan carefully before presenting a plan to defeat the enemy to Your Majesty."

"Okay, this is the experienced minister I expect." Liu Xie smiled gratifiedly. "It's just that the Xianbei people will arrive at any time, and I hope General Zhenxi hurry up. Look, tomorrow morning, can you?"

Han Sui's forehead was covered with sweat, but he dared not refuse. "As Your Majesty wishes."

Liu Xie nodded, picked up a document, and signaled that Han Sui could resign.

Han Sui understood, got up and left.When he got out of the imperial tent, the biting cold wind blew, and he shivered. Thinking of his performance just now, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.He looked around, left the imperial tent, and went to find Yan Xing.

At this moment, apart from Cheng Gongying, the only one who can help him is his son-in-law Yan Xing.

Yan Xing was changing clothes in the tent, preparing for the evening banquet.Seeing Han Sui coming, he was very surprised, and quickly ordered someone to prepare tea, and invited Han Sui to take a seat.

Han Sui sat down, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.In the Tianzi's tent just now, although he poured a cup of milk tea, he didn't have time to drink it, he just focused on answering the emperor's question.After leaving the tent, I realized that my throat was so dry that it was about to smoke.

"Yanming, the Xianbei people are coming, have you ever thought about how to deal with the enemy?" Han Sui asked calmly.

"Scattered riders are the emperor's close servants. Apart from going into battle with the emperor, what else can they do to deal with the enemy?"

"Yanming, that's not what you said." Han Sui put on the posture of an elder and persuaded: "You can't be the right governor of Sanqi forever, you will always be like Meng Qi in the future. Don't you show that you are the only one How can the Son of Heaven let you lead the army with confidence? Young man, be more careful."

Yan Xing lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, Han Shaoying hurried over, seeing Han Sui sitting here, Yan Xing bowed his head, she understood.

Although Han Sui and Yan Xing are sons-in-law, their relationship is not good.When Han Sui married her to Yan Xing, there was a sense of coercion. Yan Xing has always been worried about this, and he is unwilling to take the initiative to get close to Han Sui.Now Yan Xing has become a close minister of the emperor, and even more respects Han Sui and keeps him at a distance.

Han Sui also knew what Yan Xing was thinking, and rarely contacted Yan Xing.This is the first time that he took the initiative to come to Yan Xing's camp.

When she heard that Han Sui was called by the emperor in the imperial camp, she was a little worried about Han Sui and kept following Han Sui's movements.Knowing that Han Sui had left the imperial tent and came to Yan Xing's big tent, she was afraid that they would have a conflict, so she hurriedly told others what she was doing and rushed back to have a look.

"Ah Weng, have you met the Son of Heaven?" Han Shaoying sat down beside Yan Xing and arched Yan Xing's arm.

Han Sui nodded and glanced at Han Shaoying. "The Son of Heaven intends to entrust this battle to me. The banquet hasn't started yet, and I have nothing to do, so I went to Yanming's camp to take a look and listen to Yanming's opinion by the way."

"This is a good thing." Han Shaoying said exaggeratedly: "This is a great opportunity for the people of Liangzhou. Mr. Jia advises, Yan Ming protects the emperor, Meng Qi takes the lead to meet the enemy, and A Weng presides over the battle. If it succeeds, everyone in Liangzhou meritorious service."

Yan Xing turned his head to look at Han Shaoying, and Han Shaoying's eyes showed a hint of pleading, and he said in a voice almost whispering: "Husband, just help him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Yan Xing smacked his lips and nodded reluctantly. "Awon, do you know what is the biggest special feature of this battle?"

"What is it?" Han Sui pondered.

"It's the Son of Heaven."
