Chapter 313 Li Ling's Careful Thoughts! (4K)

Zhao Puonu smacked his lips after hearing Huo Shan's words, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, why didn't he stay there back then?
In fact, even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't stay, Huo Shan would not agree.

He left all the people over there, and he has no one under his command. What is the use?
"Don't worry too much about that side, the overall situation over there will be decided, clean up tomorrow, collect the weapons of those surrendered soldiers, give them a horse, and it's time for us to set off."

Huo Shan really didn't want to worry about it any more. In his opinion, the overall situation was settled. Even if the Xiongnu still had a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, it would be useless.

Nearly half of the soldiers and horses were wiped out and captured, and morale is estimated to have collapsed.

After waiting another ten days, when the food and grass of the Xiongnu were almost consumed, Huo Shan reckoned that they might come to ask for surrender in person.

Because there is no other way if they don't ask for surrender, their current situation is a dilemma.

If you want to attack, you are not strong enough, and if you want to retreat, you can't do it.

It's easy to understand that the offensive strength is not enough. 20 can't beat it, let alone [-]. If half of the army's [-] soldiers and horses have been wiped out, it's fine if they don't collapse.

In this case, the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty might collapse, not to mention the Huns in the tribal system.

As for the failure to retreat, it is still a matter of food and grass.

Dongqiemi is not far from the Xiongnu. At their speed, they will not be able to go back in a few months, and they don't have so much food and grass now.

There is also a possibility that King Youguli led some troops to retreat and left the rest alone, but Huo Shan felt that he would not choose this option.

Because 20 people in the tribe have confessed here, he probably won't be able to survive when he goes back.

So his best choice now is to surrender to the big man.

Of course, there is another option, that is to gather strength, leave behind the old, the weak, women and children, and go directly to Dawan with an army of [-].

But this possibility is still not very big, it depends on whether King Youguli is ruthless enough, and whether his wrist is tough enough.

If he can't hold back, the tribe under his command will definitely turn against him and let them leave their relatives and run away. Is this possible?
Even if he did, and succeeded, that's fine.

It won't take long for the news of this battle to spread throughout the Western Regions. Apart from Dawan, other countries in the Western Regions dare not take them in.

And leaving the families of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses in his hands, Huo Shan wanted to see what they could do.

As for them breaking through the blockade with logistics, there is a possibility, but this is much easier for Huo Shan.

Their speed cannot be too fast, the soldiers and horses of the six divisions of the two armies can grind them to death.

As for other possibilities such as bypassing and attacking military households, it is also unlikely.

Cao Zong's road was impassable. If he detoured, he needed to be fast first, and the tribe of Huns' soldiers and horses would still fall into his hands.

And the news that their [-] soldiers and horses were taken away by Lu Bode, they probably knew about it a long time ago.

In this case, the attack cannot be done in a short time, and food and grass are a problem.

Therefore, the Huns are basically at the end of their rope.

This situation was caused by Huo Shan, the preparations and blows during this period, but the main reason lies in themselves.

They are too arrogant. With such a huge troop of soldiers and horses, they traveled such a long distance for an expedition, and they didn't bring enough food and supplies.

They are confident that they can raise food and grass in the Western Regions, but how could Huo Shan give you this opportunity? This is one reason.

As for the other main reason, it must be King Youguli's confident move.

To lure the enemy deep into the house has become to lure wolves into the house. If you don't know how to use soldiers and horses, don't use them, but you have to use them.

You thought you were a genius, but in Huo Shan's eyes, you were just a fool, not even a fool.

.........

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Hei had already arrived outside Zhao Chongguo's military tent.

After Zhao Chongguo was woken up by the guards, his drowsy mind instantly woke up, and he took the letter and read it.

After reading it, he closed the letter with trembling hands, and took two breaths to calm down his excitement.

Then he stepped on his boots and ran out of the tent, got on his horse and headed to Li Ling's camp in the west of town.

After reporting the password, he was allowed to enter the barracks. Under the leadership of Li Ling's personal guards, he went straight to Li Ling's camp.

When Zhao Chongguo arrived, Li Ling had already been awakened by his personal guards, waiting for Zhao Chongguo's arrival.

Logically speaking, how could he be able to fall asleep with such a big matter on his mind?

But Zhao Chongguo and Li Ling are not ordinary people after all, and their emotions are not well adjusted, how can they be generals?
If you don't rest well at night, how can you maintain a rational mood to lead the army the next day?
As soon as Zhao Chongguo came in, Li Ling looked expectantly at Zhao Chongguo's calm face:

"how?"

After Zhao Chongguo sat down, he sat down slowly, and then said:
"The governor agreed."

Li Ling slapped his thigh:
"Hahaha, good!"

"Don't rush to be happy. Although the lord agrees, the original strategy remains unchanged."

Li Ling nodded, and then asked:

"Did the governor say how many soldiers and horses went to make a surprise attack?"

Zhao Chongguo shook his head:

"I didn't say this, let us decide for ourselves."

Li Ling was taken aback:
"Make up your own mind? The governor is not going to take care of it?"

Zhao Chongguo nodded:

"My lord said that this battle has been decided, let us play by ourselves, just don't crash the game."

Li Ling couldn't help but smile from ear to ear after hearing this:
"Oh, this is good, this is good."

Li Ling smacked his mouth and couldn't help sighing in his heart for a while.

He thought that some Huo Shan existed, he probably never led the army alone in his life, and the opportunity to be the master of his own has come, but he didn't expect it to come.

Although he led the army alone, he was basically incapable of being the master. The number of troops he could lead was [-].

Even Su Xian, his deputy general's [-] soldiers, was actually very limited. If Su Xian felt that Li Ling's strategy was wrong, he would not agree to it, and Li Ling had nothing to do.

He felt that he would lead the army at least until he was 50 or [-] years old. For most of his life, this era was no different from his whole life.

"Then how many soldiers and horses are you going to lead?"

Zhao Chongguo was a little surprised:
"Do you really want me to go?"

Li Ling nodded seriously:

"nature."

Zhao Chongguo opened his mouth, thinking that the words I have been thinking along the way are useless at all!

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll take the first town of the headquarters, and the second town of the young uncle, [-] soldiers and horses are enough."

"Okay, then I will take the other four to destroy the [-] soldiers and horses behind, and then block the road."

The two agreed on it.

To be honest, how could Li Ling not be tempted to lead troops and horses to raid Youguli King, the fifth figure of the Xiongnu and Shanyu, and the commander-in-chief of 25 people and horses combined!

He was very itchy, but he still gave up this opportunity to Zhao Chongguo. There are still many reasons for this.

The first point is that he understands a truth, a tree is more beautiful than a forest, but the wind will destroy it, this principle exists everywhere.

Whether it is above the Han Dynasty Hall, or among the generals and schools under Huo Shan's command.

The 1 on the north side of East Tianshan, the more than [-] in this battle, plus the scattered ones in front, the results in his hands have already exceeded [-].

If it is really successful, and King Youguli is added, the limelight will be too great.

It's better to give it to Zhao Chongguo, he can add another [-] in the future, and he is already very satisfied with the result of [-].

The second point is to make friends with Zhao Chongguo. Huo Shan in the future must be No. 1 in the Han dynasty.

And his No.1 is not the same as before. Although he dare not say it, he knows in his heart that there is no problem in saying that Huo Shan is half an emperor.

Looking at the relationship between Liu Che and Huo Shan, the relationship between Liu Ju and Huo Shan, and even the relationship between Liu Jin and Huo Shan, they are really closer than a family.

And with Huo Shan's temperament, the master of high merit is basically empty talk.

And Zhao Chongguo, the champion Hou's number one general of the new generation, naturally rose with the tide.

When the Western Regions are done and they go back, they probably won't be the new generation, but the real number one general, and even Lu Bode and Zhao Puonu can't stop them.

Because a new generation replaces the old ones, this is a general trend, and no one can stop it.

And he is also a general under Champion Hou's command. Even if Huo Shan finds it troublesome and refuses to recognize him in name, in the eyes of others, he is the iron guard Huo Zhongren.

So he needs to build a good relationship with people like Zhao Chongguo and Shangguan Jie.

Of course, in addition to being driven by interests, there are also some emotions in it.

Although he has only been in contact with Zhao Chongguo and others for a few years, the relationship is really good. His relationship with Zhao Ponu is already good now.

Among the generals under Huo Shan's command, there is basically no intrigue, and no one has this idea. Generally speaking, the feelings are still very pure.

What is the intrigue for?It is for profit.

And under Huo Shan's command, money, power, what can you lack?
Although Huo Shan said that only talents are useful, and he did do so, he never treated his own people badly.

And these people were pulled together by Huo Shan, and they hang out together every day, they have never been in the court, and it is impossible to talk about fighting.

Of course, healthy competition still exists.

The third point is the most important point.

He knew that Huo Shan wanted to see this result, so he did it.

Huo Shan didn't need to draw checks and balances to control his subordinates. We were all brothers, so it would be great to have healthy competition.

The fights come and go, and the smoky ones get away early.

This is Huo Shan's attitude.

And Li Ling knew that in Huo Shan's heart, among their generals, Zhao Ponu had always been number one.

Then came Zhao Chongguo, then Lu Bode, Shangguan Jie, and even Su Xian cared more about Huo Shan than himself.

In his mind, although Huo Shan didn't treat him differently, and like Zhao Chongguo and others, he tried his best to cultivate him, but he knew that compared with others, Huo Shan didn't have much affection for him.

Basically, it is an attitude of cultivating talents for the great man. He is afraid that when Huo Shan feels that he has completed his studies, his relationship with Huo Shan will become more and more distant.

As for the reason, he also knew that it was the same old thing.

But this result is unacceptable to him, so he is trying his best to close the relationship between the two.

To put it simply, there is a little competition for favor.

So he gave up this errand to Zhao Chongguo, and he couldn't ask for it. It can only be said that there was no dispute.

And he has a lot of small thoughts in his heart, but for Zhao Chongguo, all the thoughts have a good starting point.

So these small thoughts of his are just small thoughts, and they can be regarded as small thoughts of good intentions. They can't rise to the level of playing tricks, and they are still far behind.

.........

"I took my young uncle and left, can you do it here?

Don't be unstoppable and let the Huns run away, then you will be miserable, and I will be punished with you. "

Although he led the troops to King Youguli, Li Ling's side basically had nothing to do with him, but Huo Shan didn't think so.

The two of them are the main ones here. If something goes wrong, they will naturally bear the brunt of it.

You Zhao Chongguo didn't participate, so you won't be punished?Think beautiful.

Although it is estimated that he will be lighter than Li Ling, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Li Ling stared at Zhao Chongguo with wide eyes:
"Are you looking down on me? I, Li Ling, are not as good as you, Zhao Chongguo."

Zhao Chongguo curled his lips, you are stronger than me, but you are good at attacking, that is why you are stronger than me, other things I am better than you.

Of course, he didn't say this, because Li Ling would definitely not accept it when he said it, and the two of them were about to fall into an argument again.

Seeing that Zhao Chongguo didn't talk to him, Li Ling continued:
"If you don't take Shangguan Jie with you, who else can you take with you?"

Zhao Chongguo thought for a while, and nodded helplessly.

The principals of the other four departments, apart from Shangguan Jie, Su Xian are relatively stable, and they complement Li Ling perfectly.

With Su Xian around, it is safer, so it is impossible for Zhao Chongguo to take him with him.

The situation of Captain Yueqi was the same as that of Li Guangli, the soldiers and horses under his command were not suitable.

The purpose of this trip is to make a surprise attack, and the soldiers and horses under his command must not have problems that cannot be controlled or controlled at critical moments, otherwise major incidents will easily occur.

As for the generals, they didn't care, because Zhao Chongguo must be the main one on this trip.

Zhao Chongguo attacked less, but that was only compared with Li Ling. Compared with others, he was still much stronger.

But Shangguan Jie is indeed easier to use than these two people, a real fierce general, the surprise attack will play a huge role.

"But I left with the first and second divisions of the town area, and the pressure on your side will be great."

That's true, the Qiang people are good at burning, killing and looting with soldiers and horses, and letting them defend is not suitable for them.

But Li Ling didn't care:
"The governor asked us to make up our own minds, not just this one thing, let them go if we can't stop it, can they run past us?
We originally wanted to block them while retreating in the direction of Wusun, don't forget our plan. "

Zhao Chongguo was taken aback for a moment, scratching his head:
"If you don't tell me, I really forgot."

"I originally wanted to remind you to be careful not to get lost, but now that Xiao Hei is here, there is no problem. If there are wolves, that would be even better."

Zhao Chongguo also has some regrets:
"No way, the wolves only listen to the lord and Cang Ye, even if Cang Ye is left here, he won't listen to us."

"makes sense."
