Chapter 299 If you can't stop it, let it in! (4.8K)

After discussing things, everyone else went to prepare, and Huo Shan called Li Guangli and Gongsun Jingsheng in.

"I won't say much about other things, you decide for yourself, I will only say two points.

The first point is to guard against the Wusun Kingdom and station some soldiers and horses in the territory of the Wutanzili Kingdom to prevent the enemy from coming around from the north.

The second point is to defend against the countries of the Western Regions such as Gumo and Qiuci, and defend in the southwest and south.

As for some countries on the east side, Cao Zong is guarding them, so you don't have to worry.

As for the countries on the south side, you don't have to worry too much, but you still have to guard against it.

Although there are many mountains on the south side, I am worried that they will come along the river. Although there is more water saving at this time, it is not impossible. "

Speaking of this, I have to sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature. The West Tianshan Mountains on the south side are vertical and horizontal, or east-west mountain ranges. This river breaks through layers of obstacles and finally reaches the north side.

Huo Shan always feels that this river should disappear in future generations. Although it stretches very far and gathers many water sources, this direction is really not good.

After the two listened, they bowed and saluted:
"The last general takes orders!"

"I don't know how many times I've said how important Dongqiemi is. I believe you all know it in your heart. I won't say much about the rest. Be steady."

"Don't worry about the governor, unless my [-] soldiers and horses die, it is impossible for the enemy to threaten my army."

Huo Shan smiled and nodded:
"Well, if you have ambition, then go down and prepare!"

After arranging things, Huo Shan got out of the big tent, Shangguan Jie had assembled and arranged troops, Huo Shan didn't say anything else, and directly led the troops and started marching east by north.

The road is still easy to walk. The Gobi Desert is full of rolling hills, but the army marched along the river, and the road was very flat.

With a distance of more than 200 li and less than [-] li, Huo Shan took Yulin Huben and Huangzhong to the designated location in a day and a half.

The next step is to wait quietly, and there is no need to ambush, as far as the eye can see, the terrain is the same, and there is no place to ambush if you want to ambush.

Huo Shan arranged for Shangguan Jie:
"Let the soldiers rest first. It is estimated that the [-] soldiers will arrive soon."

What Huo Shan predicted in his heart was the time, the place he was stepping on now, the distance between Dongqiemi and Yu Lishi was about the same.

But Huo Shan took a day and a half for this journey, and he estimated that even if the Xiongnu went fast, it would take two and a half days.

There is still time for the soldiers to rest and recharge their batteries.

The [-] soldiers Ma Huoshan didn't think about letting them go back. The war was about to start, and it was still very difficult. The cavalry field battle with huge disparity in strength could weaken the enemy's strength by a little.

What troubled Huo Shan the most was that he was the defender. Even if he wiped out the 15 soldiers, the Xiongnu would still have [-] soldiers left.

With his less than [-] soldiers and horses alone, if the Xiongnu really wanted to rush into the Dongqiemi area, Huo Shan would not be able to stop it.

It's not that he hasn't been idle along the way, he has made a lot of efforts, he can attract two allies, and he can increase some strength, why not increase?
But the news from the envoys is still the same as before, even if he promised a lot of benefits, the small countries that came over are useless.

The Western Regions is sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, so Huo Shan can only rely on himself now.

He only hoped that the countries in the Western Regions would not be mentally ill, just stab him in the back.

Huo Shan looked to the east, muttering to himself:
"I don't know what's going on with Li Ling."

After Zhang Anshi heard it, he said quickly:

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, nothing will happen!"

"I hope so!"

As for Li Ling, nothing really happened, and he was insane, so he naturally saw the severe situation for his own side.

So, at this time, every ounce of strength needs to be well preserved, and it is impossible for him to take the slightest risk with his troops in order to get some military exploits.

He knew that if he really dared to do this, then he would definitely die, and no one could protect him.

So when King Youguli sent [-] subordinate national troops to stop him, he kept keeping a distance from these soldiers and horses.

Without a large-scale battle, the [-] soldiers and horses were played around by him. The second department led by Su Xian had bypassed their obstruction without knowing it, but they still haven't noticed it yet.

But this can't be hidden for long, maybe a day or two, but a day or two is enough.

Su Xian's task was to directly harass a wave of the Huns camp, then retreat directly and join Li Ling without entanglement.

As for the reasons for doing so, one is to delay the speed, and the other is to attract more troops.

As long as there is more attraction here, the pressure on Huo Shan's side will be relieved.

As for not being entangled, retreating directly after a wave of harassment is also to prevent the return of the [-] national troops, and the two sides attacked and made Su Xian dumplings.

After merging with Li Ling's part, they can no longer be separated for the next few days, concentrate their strength, and cannot be defeated by the enemy one by one.

Then there is waiting for orders.

As for Cao Zong on Che Shi's side, he cleans up the remnants every day and lives in peace.

As for Zhao Puonu and Dong Qimi on Li Guangli's side, Huo Shan didn't care about it as long as he arranged.

With so many soldiers and horses, if you can't even do this well, what kind of generals are you? Go home and herd sheep!

As for the military households, Huo Shan didn't care too much. With Lu Bode, 16 military households and [-] cavalry, he was very relieved.

However, Xiao Hei went there yesterday and brought back news that Huns soldiers and horses appeared near Yiwu, with about [-] troops.

Lu Bode said that this army did not have much food and grass, and the nearby water sources were also controlled by his own side. He was confident that he could eat them within half a month.

Huo Shan said it was very good, but it was a pity that with [-] soldiers and horses around, it was impossible to sow seeds.

They only harass, don't attack, and are not slick, and you can't do anything about them. Time passes in a blink of an eye, and if you plant them again, they won't grow, and the seeds will be wasted!
So, everything is fine, now it's up to Huo Shan.

.........

Huo Shan stared fixedly at the battlefield he had chosen and was fascinated. After a long while, he sighed and said:

"I can't stop it, I'm optimistic."

Zhang Anshi remained silent, he actually had the same idea.

Ninety thousand soldiers and horses came from our own side, four thousand were left by the chariot divisions, and six thousand were dying in the east. The Xiongnu had [-] behind, and there were [-] left.

The enemy has 19 soldiers and horses, and 1 are destroyed. If Huo Shan destroys another [-] to [-], the enemy will still have [-] to [-].

To be optimistic, even if Li Ling held back [-] troops, there would still be [-].

Even if Huo Shan felt that his [-] troops were not weaker than the enemy's [-], but in this flat place, people were determined to come in, how could you stop them?
It is impossible for Huo Shan to spend forever here. He came here for the Western Regions. He spent too much on soldiers and horses, and the risk was too great.

And this is still an optimistic idea. You have to plan for the worst in this kind of thing, and you can't be optimistic.

"What do you say now?"

Huo Shan looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi thought about it, his forehead was sweating, and finally he shook his head bitterly.

Huo Shan turned his head and looked into the distance again, then raised his head again, squinted his eyes at Xiao Hei soaring high in the sky, and then smiled freely:
"What are you afraid of? Let's take a step and see. We will destroy the [-] Xiongnu soldiers and horses first."

Zhang Anshi looked at Huo Shan in surprise, not knowing why Huo Shan's attitude changed so much, one moment he was worried, the next moment he was smiling.

But Zhang Anshi felt admiration for Huo Shan in his heart, no wonder he can be a commander in chief, with this mentality, no one else can compare.

But Huo Shan ignored his wild thoughts and told Sun Shang beside him:

"Bring me Tian Qianqiu!"

Then he made a gesture and headed towards the wilderness ahead, the surrounding guards all stayed where they were when they saw the gesture, only Cang Ye and Li Yu followed.

Huo Shan's mentality was actually not as good as Zhang Anshi thought, but he figured it out.

He wasn't good at this, so why did he want to fight the Huns in a field battle?

Since you can't stop them, let them in!

Anyway, you Xiongnu came after me, and you will definitely bite me and not let me go, or drive me out of the Western Regions, and you Huns cannot retreat.

Then why don't I talk to you about the protracted war?
Taking the vast world of the Western Regions as a battlefield, let's see who can win this hand, this is what he is really good at.

The battle situation is like this, and there is a big change in an instant!
After a while, Tian Qianqiu came running over on a horse.

Huo Shan glanced at him, smiled, then returned his eyes to the wilderness, and said two words:

"Proposed order."

Tian Qianqiu immediately stopped the horse, got off the horse, and then took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the cloth bag on the horse.

After grinding the ink, put the wooden board and spread the paper, then picked up a few stones to press the four corners to prevent the wind from blowing away, and finally picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink and looked at Huo Shan.

"Order: Li Ling, General Xiaoqi, immediately lead the rear army to set off, bypass most of the Xiongnu from the north, and return to the central army. As for the Xiongnu, avoid it if you can."

If you can't hide it, forget it.

Tian Qianqiu looked at Huo Shan in surprise, not knowing what he was trying to do.

Huo Shan glared at him:
"Write!"

"promise."

Tian Qianqiu hurriedly wrote it and put it aside, then looked at Huo Shan again.

"Order: General Yingyang Zhao Chongguo, stop marching immediately, turn around and return to Dongqiemi."

As for the [-] soldiers who went to block the waterway, Huo Shan did not plan to call it back. It was still necessary to block the waterway. It was still very effective in delaying the speed of the Huns and blocking their way.

"Order: Wei Wei, Fubo General Lu Bode, attack immediately and destroy those ten thousand soldiers and horses."

Ever since Lao Lu became a Weiwei, the title of General Fubo was directly revoked, but Huo Shan gave it to him again.

One is the southeast pole and the other is the northwest pole. The name of General Fubo is circulating in both places, which is very interesting.

"The last one, give it to Zhao Puonu, let him lead the Qiang army, scrape this piece of land for me, and bring back all the food, grass, cattle and sheep."

The specific orders were arranged yesterday, and this one is just an addition.

After arranging the four edicts, Huo Shan thought about it:
"Let's do it first!"

Then he asked Tian Qianqiu:

"Have you brought the imperial edict?"

"Never."

"Go get it, and by the way, go to Xiao Lizi's place and get some of my big seals, and bring the bamboo tube seals with you."

"Governor, how many copies?"

Huo Shan pinched his fingers and calculated:
"Seven."

"promise."

After a while Tian Qianqiu ran back, after getting everything ready again, he asked Xiao Hei to deliver the edict first and then looked at Huo Shan.

"For the imperial edicts to the countries in the Western Regions, four are milder, two are more severe, and one condemns and threatens."

Tian Qianqiu nodded to express his understanding, and then took the draft and began to write the routine.

"The first one is the one that reprimands and threatens, and it's for Wusun."

Tian Qianqiu pursed her lips when she heard it, paused for a moment and continued writing.

"Question them, just ask them, as the allies of my big man, why don't they send troops to help?
Then directly choose his name, ask him if he wants to be a fool, and then tell him directly that there is no such choice, and he must choose between the big man and the Huns. "

Tian Qianqiu felt cold sweat in his heart when he heard it, it would be a big deal if this one is not handled properly!

"Then, in my name, Da Sima, Da Dudu, Habayashi Dajun, and Champion Hou, request the Lord Wusun to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to Dawan to explore the road immediately, and he will come when I destroy the Xiongnu."

Tian Qianqiu raised her eyebrows when she heard this request.

Huo Shan pressed hard at the front, but he was given a step in the back, giving him a chance not to participate in the battle between the two sides.

If Jun Xumi wants to be a fool, he will send troops if he is biased towards the big man, but he will not if he is biased towards the Huns.

Huo Shan's move can test him, if he chooses a big man, then everything will be fine, but if he chooses Huns, Huo Shan has to be on guard.

Perhaps the battlefield can be moved to the territory of Wusun Kingdom, and revenge can be carried out. Huo Shan is not afraid of offending him.

Moreover, although Wusun Kingdom is not peaceful, it is different if there are foreign enemies. However, Huo Shan is fine and doesn't want to provoke him. Hello, everyone, is it okay?
With a population of more than 50 and soldiers and horses of more than 15, it is a proper big country.

Relatively speaking, [-] soldiers and horses are nothing.

"Finally, the Huns have come to 20 enemies, and the Marquis has already wiped out [-]. The Huns are short of food and grass. It won't take long for the Marquis to defeat them. Let him think about it."

"The next two copies are for Gumo and Qiuci. The words are lighter than Wusun's. Don't question them. Let Qiuci send [-] troops to Dawan, and let Gumo send [-] troops to support them."

Kucha has a population of [-], [-] troops, [-] is not too much, but Gumo is weaker, with a population of [-], and [-] soldiers and horses!

As for why Qiuci was sent to Dawan and Gumo was sent to support, there are two main reasons.

The first one is the attitude problem. Compared with Qiucha, Gumo has a more friendly attitude.

The second is the issue of strength. Even if he asks for reinforcements, he will not let those who are too strong to come, which is prone to hidden dangers.

"The fourth copy is for Wen Su, and let their whole army secretly prepare for battle and wait for orders."

The country of Wensu has a population of more than [-] people and about [-] soldiers and horses. It is a small country.

However, he is a subsidiary country of Kucha, located on the west border of Kucha, less than a hundred miles away from Kucha city.

But this country is close to the big man, and it can be regarded as a big man's secret backer in the Western Regions. Huo Shan issued this order, of course, to beware of Qiuci and Gumo.

He didn't let them act rashly, and he was also on guard. Who knew if they were instigated by someone behind the big man.

When Tian Qianqiu heard this order, she knew how to write it, and the remaining four letters were all in a friendly tone.

"The fifth seal is for Weixu State, and the sixth seal is for Yanqi State. Please let them send troops to help. Three thousand from Yanqi State and one thousand from Weixu State."

Weixu State has a population of 5000, with 3 soldiers and horses, and Yanqi State has a population of more than [-], with [-] soldiers and horses.

These two countries don't have a deep relationship with the big man, but after being wooed by the envoy, Huo Shan intends to take refuge, and Huo Shan is going to test it out, so it is a request, not an order.

Moreover, the two countries are located near the sea, Yanqi is in the northwest, and Weixu is in the north. The geographical location is still very important.

Once they approached, the southern states, such as Qiemo and Xiaowan, would be fine.

Four thousand plus two thousand, six thousand soldiers and horses, even if there is any problem, he can hold it down.

"The last letter is to Shan Guo, asking them to send troops to destroy the Shanshan tribe in Loulan, and I will send some troops to help."

Shanshan was defeated by a group of Loulan's remnant soldiers, and Huo Shan didn't even bother to call him a country.

As for Shanguo, like Wensu, it is the backhand of the big man, with a population of about five thousand and two thousand soldiers.

In fact, there is no need for Huo Shan to send troops. If Shan Guo is stronger, he can destroy him by himself, but Huo Shan must do it himself.

Killing my envoy, this matter is endless, you Loulan ambitious people will not die, I will kill you again and again, let's see how many people you kill for me!

These are some big countries that are relatively close to him and his side, so Huo Shan sent them an imperial edict.

Don't look at Huo Shan's simple words, but after Tian Qianqiu's embellishment, they will definitely realize the seriousness of the matter.

This is the imperial edict of the Han Dynasty, with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo printed on it, representing the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the powerful empire of the Han Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Huo Shan issued the edict, otherwise you have a great reputation as a champion, and I have heard of it, but I have never seen you in the Western Regions, so it is not very deterrent.

"Finally, write down the [-] result."

Tian Qianqiu worked for a long time before finishing writing, then packed it in a bamboo tube, then Huo Shan beckoned, and Sun Shang ran over.

Huo Shan asked him to arrange for a ten-member team from one country to send it to the envoys of each country. Huo Shan also added five shots to each team.

This is the second hand, if you dare to fight against a big man, then kill, if you can't kill it, let's talk about it, there must be a second hand!
