Chapter 302 Public Opinion Offensive (4K)

"Governor, the time has come."

Sun Shang stood beside him and said, Huo Shan waved his hand when he heard it:
"set off!"

With Habayashi in front and Huben in the back, Shesheng still wandered around the periphery, acting as a backup, and expanding the results of the battle after rushing into the battle.

The next thing is very simple, when you get to the place, just rush.

The Xiongnu hadn't slept all night, the tired soldiers and horses of the Huns, and they hadn't come for such a long time, making the Huns think that Huo Shan had left, the Huns had little resistance.

The feathers and tigers passed through directly, and the Xiongnu soldiers and horses were directly divided into two.

After rushing out, Huo Shan directly ordered to stop the army two miles away, then turned his horse's head and told Shangguan Jie:

"Let the soldiers scold me severely, and then make some moves. I'm afraid they won't understand what I'm scolding."

"The last general takes orders!"

After Shangguan Jie gave the order, the soldiers immediately became interested and used all the taunting words they could think of.

Shangguan Jie touched his chin and thought:

"move?"

After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up, he dismounted and walked forward, he successfully caught Huo Shan's gaze, not only Huo Shan, but also the soldiers in the front row looked at him.

Shangguan Jie stopped after walking ten steps, and then began to untie his belt. After a while, he laughed wildly while shooting in the direction of the Xiongnu army.

Huo Shan covered his forehead, he couldn't laugh or cry, the strength of this ridicule can be said to be full!
If the tough Huns could endure this move, Huo Shan would really be convinced.

When the soldiers saw Shangguan Jie's action, their eyes lit up, and then the soldiers in the front row got off their horses and lined up to start.

After a while, the Xiongnu army started to move. The whole army stopped panicking, and after they stabilized, they rushed directly towards Huo Shan.

Huo Shan had some regrets in his eyes. In fact, it was the best choice to charge directly just now, but Huo Shan didn't dispatch the soldiers and horses, so he could only regretfully miss it.

"withdraw!"

Huo Shan gave an order, Shangguan Jie and the others fastened their trouser belts while running, got on their horses, turned the horses' heads, and ran eastward.

What followed was a chase scene. Huo Shan led Yu Lin Hu Ben, fearing that the Xiongnu would not be able to catch up, he ran slowly, and the Hun army behind him slowly chased him.

After running for a while, Sun Shang next to him shouted:
"Governor, we're almost here!"

"Send an order to get the soldiers on standby at Habayashi Huben to get ready. They will directly crush the Huns' soldiers and horses, and let Huangzhong go around to the back to block the enemy's retreat."

Huo Shan originally wanted to attract five or six thousand soldiers, then wipe them out, and finally deal with the remaining [-], but he didn't expect the Xiongnu to be so impatient, they all chased after them.

But this is just right, it can be solved in one fell swoop, and it will save a lot of money. If you leave it for a little longer, the Huns' large battalion behind will probably arrive soon.

Huo Shan and others rushed past Yubayashi Huben who was on standby, and the Xiongnu soldiers and horses behind them also saw these Yubayashi Huben.

But they made a choice that surprised even Huo Shan. They didn't rush over in one go, but slowed down, preparing to turn their horses and start retreating.

Who will die if you don't die?

Comparing speed with Habayashi Huben, even if you are in your prime, you can't compare.

It seems that the soldiers and horses under King Youguli have not been in contact with the elite soldiers and horses of the Han for a long time, and their minds are still the same as they used to be!

Huo Shan felt the need to tell them that times had changed!

"Sun Shang, Shangguan Jie, the two of you will each lead Yulin Huben, and cooperate with Huangzhong to destroy these Huns."

"The last general takes orders!"

The two turned their horses' heads and began to catch up with the soldiers and horses of the Habayashi Huben Brigade that had already started to set off, while Huo Shan led the soldiers who had worked all night and continued to walk west.

Huo Shan took them to change horses and rest for a while. He was not going to participate in this battle.

It is enough to have Sun Shang and Shangguan Jie, and the soldiers under his command are still Habayashi Huben, and it is impossible for such unprecedented things to happen if they lose.

At noon, Huo Shan was staying behind, drinking a cup of tea, when Sun Shang, who was covered in blood, ran over.

"My lord, my lord!"

Huo Shan glanced at him.

"Uh, Commander-in-Chief."

"Tell me, how was the result?"

"Back to the governor, the specific results of the battle have not yet been calculated, but there is already an approximate figure. The beheading is about [-], and [-] were run away, and [-] were captured. Shangguan Jie is watching them."

Huo Shan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the soldiers next to him:

"Not bad, huh?"

The soldier next to him scratched his head and laughed shyly:
"The governor is really powerful!"

Huo Shan raised his head and said stinkingly:
"That is!"

Sun Shang next to him interjected:

"The governor, what should we do with the nine thousand surrendered soldiers? Should we all be beheaded by him?"

Huo Shan stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said unexpectedly to Sun Shang:
"Let it all go!"

"(⊙o⊙) What, let it go?"

Sun Shang thought he heard it wrong, so his voice raised a lot.

Huo Shan glanced at him, took a sip of tea happily:

"Yes, let it go, but let the horse stay and let the man go."

Sun Shang took a deep breath and didn't understand why he had to let them go. Let them go and beat us when they come back?
"By the way, after you're released, don't forget to promote us, let the Huns in Huangzhong pretend to be Huns' followers, and tell them how good it is after they voted for me."

"This……"

Huo Shan stared at Sun Shang dissatisfied:

"What is this, if you are told to do it, you will do it. Where is there so much nonsense?"

"The last general takes orders!"

Sun Shang replied weakly, and then ran away.

Huo Shan was going to give him seven captures and seven attacks, and his strategy changed. If Huo Shan was not going to fight head-on with the Xiongnu, his attitude towards the enemy had to change.

If it can be surrendered, it is better to surrender. You can also adopt these attitudes and show them to the countries of the Western Regions.

You see, my big man is so kind to the Huns, the enemy of life and death, and I will definitely have nothing to say to you.

It can also weaken the morale of the Huns and reduce their determination to fight the enemy.

It is impossible for you King Youguli to be so popular, and your system of the Huns cannot do this in the first place.

But for these ordinary soldiers of the Xiongnu, with the Xiongnu Yi Cong as a template, they will definitely whisper in their hearts that this is enough.

Let them see how benevolent the big man is, but what should be killed still has to be killed.

Your benevolence is built on strong strength. Only when you defeat them again and again will your benevolence be useful.

Seven captures and seven verticals, only with captures can there be verticals!
That's right, Huo Shan did know that the enemy was King Youguli's family. After his calculations, at the very beginning, he felt that the high probability of coming here was this family, but he was not sure.

As well as Li Ling's news, and today's contact with the enemy, he would be a fool if he didn't know.

After Huo Shan finished eating, he ran to the river to wash his hands, and when all the tigers in the forest came back, Huo Shan got on his horse and waved his spear:
"withdraw!"

Next, Huo Shan was not going to stay any longer, he was going to return directly to Dongqiemi to do the next preparations.

But before that, Huo Shan still needs to slow down and walk a certain distance, which is probably the distance from this battlefield.

As for why the speed should be slowed down, of course it was waiting for Li Ling who came running later!
There is also a reason for Huo Shan to recall Li Ling.

First of all, soldiers and horses are needed here, and every bit of strength should be assembled.

On the other hand, Li Ling no longer needs to cut off the back of the Xiongnu. Judging from the [-] soldiers and horses, the Xiongnu is determined to enter the east.

Huo Shan had already guessed that King Youguli came for him, not for the military household.

Of the three, Huo Shan was ready to let the Xiongnu in, and the next step would be a chaotic war, and it was useless for Li Ling to stay behind.

So, calling back is the right choice.

Huo Shan and the others walked slowly, and when they were about to reach Jieguo, Li Ling's soldiers and horses finally appeared.

Huo Shan stopped the army and waited for a while. After Li Ling's soldiers and horses caught up, the army started to set off again.

After Huo Shan waited for a while, Li Ling came to him:
"The last general pays homage to the governor, and the last general is lucky to live up to his fate and return victorious!"

Huo Shan smiled heartily and stepped forward to help Li Ling up:

"Haha, get up quickly!"

After Huo Shan pulled Li Ling to sit down, he asked:
"Where's Su Xian?"

Li Ling said with a smile:
"He's looking at the army!"

"Didn't snatch you?"

"hey-hey!"

There are not many opportunities for Huo Shan to ask for credit, and the two must have gone through a lot of fighting.

If nothing else happened, Su Xian was depressed at the moment, because Li Ling must have suppressed him as the chief general.

"Okay, let's stop talking, let's talk about business, where is the army of the Huns?"

As soon as Huo Shan asked, Li Ling answered directly:
"Now, the Huns' army should be about 170 miles away from here."

Li Ling used the word should because the Huns did not stay quietly, but kept moving forward.

"Did you come here and be found?"

Li Ling reviewed the process in his mind, and then said:

"It should have been discovered, the [-] army is not easy to hide."

Huo Shan nodded:
"If you are discovered, you will find out, it's okay, it doesn't matter."

Huo Shan then asked again:
"How many casualties?"

"There were 570 casualties, of which about [-] were minor injuries, which did not affect combat power."

Huo Shan was a little surprised:

"so little?"

"Our army's equipment is superior, and they are all wandering fighters, not facing the enemy head-on."

Huo Shan was very satisfied, 2000 people were killed, more than [-] casualties, ten times the battle ratio, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
As for the seriously injured, although Li Ling didn't say much, everyone knew in their hearts that those who were missing arms and legs were fine, but if they were injured internally, they couldn't be saved.

Although there are military doctors in the army, there is no time to rest in this continuous battle.

Huo Shan originally thought that Li Ling would not say anything, because in Huo Shan's eyes, Li Ling was a child of a family of generals, and he could see clearly that he would not show much kindness. Under such circumstances, there was no way to save these people.

The best ending is to save those who can be saved, and give a happy ending to those who cannot be saved, and then bring back the remains.

But he didn't expect that Li Ling would actually say:
"Great governor, about 700 people who were seriously injured can be rescued. I sent 500 people to pass through the East Tianshan Passage and send them to Cheshi."

Huo Shan froze for a moment:
"Hahahaha, okay, good job!"

For this matter, Huo Shan decided to increase Li Ling's food by five hundred, it's worth it!

Huo Shan turned his head to look at Shangguan Jie:

"How many casualties did our army have in this battle?"

Huo Shan didn't come to ask questions along the way, and now he has asked.

"120 seven soldiers!"

Huo Shan felt a pain in his heart, let alone he treated him differently.

Yulin Huben was cultivated by him himself. Although he couldn't name some people in Huben, everyone knew them.

But Huo Shan's loyalty to the Xiongnu is still not as precious as the generals and soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

This is what he thinks in his mind. In terms of things, the Han generals and Huo Shan, the righteous generals of the Huns, can treat each other equally.

Because since they surrendered to the big man, they are the soldiers of the big man.

After this battle, Huo Shan decided to establish a ministry and an army for them.

Guarding the Western Regions with the word Xiongnu on his head is not very good.

But Yulin Huben is different after all, especially Yulin, these people are his personal soldiers, Huo Shan regards them as his family.

Huo Shan nodded silently, the remains and the pension will be properly arranged, so there is no need for Huo Shan to say more.

After being silent for a while, Huo Shan said:
"Decree that at noon the next day, let the soldiers and horses of the breach dig the simple river channel and let the water down."

It's only been a few days, Huo Shan estimated that there is not much water left, but a little is a little, and a little can be blocked.

With a distance of 170 miles, at noon the next day, Huo Shan estimated that he would be able to reach the river channel of Jieguo, and it was almost appropriate to open the river channel.

If luck is a little better, they happen to be crossing the river, even better.

It is impossible to drown people, but if the water level rises, it will be impossible to cross the river.

If he could delay for an hour, he would have an extra hour to prepare.

Although this hour is irrelevant, it can't be prepared for nothing.

"Order Zhao Puonu to summon the Qiang army and drive the captured cattle and sheep back to Dongqiemi immediately."

Time is running out. As for the people from the four countries who have not been attacked yet, they are lucky!
I don't know whether it is good or bad. The good thing is that they were not robbed by the big man, but the bad thing is that they are about to be robbed by the Huns.

The Huns didn't have much food and grass, and the Huns were much more brutal than the restrained Qiangs.

If there were no bound Qiang people, the Huns would naturally be inferior in terms of brutality.

Huo Shan just wanted to see how the Xiongnu dealt with the people of these four countries. If you want to take them in, there are quite a few of them, who can consume your food and grass.

If you don't take him in and turn him away, it's in Huo Shan's hands.

Huo Shan will launch a public opinion offensive to let the entire Western Regions know that the Huns don't even care about the life and death of their subjects.

To plant a bad impression in the hearts of the people of the Western Regions, then Huo Shan's goal has been achieved.

As long as the people in the Western Regions have a bad impression of the Xiongnu, the victory of the big man will increase by one point.

Although this may not affect the choice of royal families in major countries, there are still small countries!

There is an idiom called empathy!
And the accumulation of less makes more, don't think that the four countries will be gone after this matter is over!
The Huns have great power here, and they have done many things that are harmful to nature.

And the big man has never set foot in the Western Regions.

They are promoting the treatment of those who surrendered by the big man, let them see the power of the offensive of public opinion!
