Chapter 225 The advantage is mine, I will win this time

At the same time, Jiao Li, Chen Ping, Wang Li and others also gathered together to review today's meeting with Touman and the Hun leaders, and evaluate the situation of the competition with the Huns in three days.

Although no one thought that the Huns could defeat the Qin cavalry, they still could not underestimate the Huns when the real fight came. They should make as much preparation as possible beforehand to minimize the risks.

According to the information they received, although the Huns now had a large number of men, claiming to have 100,000 soldiers, they had little experience in war and were just rookies.

This is still related to Li Mu. In that battle, Li Mu defeated the Huns so badly that all 100,000 Huns cavalry were wiped out. And how many people did the Huns have? Almost all the elite troops of that generation of the Huns were defeated.

This resulted in the Huns having to lick their wounds and recover for a long period of time, and they could only endure being bullied by others.

The strategy chosen by Touman and other leaders is to hide as much as possible when encountering difficulties. As long as they don't send out troops, they can ask for women and horses. They will fight with others only when it is really impossible, but they will not fight a big fight. They will only stop when they reach a certain point. After proving that they are not so easy to bully, they will stop when they see a good opportunity.

This strategy of forbearance did help the Huns get through the most difficult period, but it also resulted in the current Hun army's lack of battlefield experience.

Fortunately, the Huns were nomadic and grew up almost entirely on horseback. They began practicing archery from a young age and could be used as warriors on the battlefield. Otherwise, the Huns would have been destroyed long ago.

Even so, the lack of war experience still led to a decline in the military strength of the Huns. No matter how good the Huns were at riding and shooting, and no matter how strong their individual soldiers were, the battlefield was not entirely about personal bravery, but more about teamwork, and teamwork required training or tempering on the battlefield to develop.

Where does the news come from?
Of course, we got it from the Huns!

For a period of time, an unknown Han Emperor named Liu became the leader of the Xiongnu delegation. He was very open with everyone in the Xiongnu delegation and knew exactly how many people were in their families, how many cattle and sheep they raised, and how many slaves they had.

After all, my eldest brother is looking after their family situation, how can I not tell him? My eldest brother wants to know something about the Xiongnu, it's not a big deal, he is my eldest brother, how can he harm me?

After listening to what others said, Chen Ping added: "Ping also thinks that General Wang Li will win this battle, because even if the Xiongnu army dares to draw swords against our Great Qin, their Chanyu and leaders will not dare to do so. Their Chanyu and leaders are the reason for their failure!"

Everyone looked at Chen Ping, and Chen Ping looked at Wang Li and said with a smile, "General Wang Li, do you know that His Majesty and Master Li Nian have specifically requested you to come here?"

Although Wang Li's military talent was not as good as his father and grandfather's, he was not stupid. He thought about Chen Ping's words and raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty and Master Li Nian want to borrow my identity?"

Chen Ping said, "That's right. General Wang Li is the grandson of General Wang Lao and the son of General Wang Ben. He is of noble status. When you heard that you were going to lead your army to fight them, what did you think Touman Chanyu and the Xiongnu leader would do?"

Wang Li thought for a while, then took a deep breath and replied: "They will give orders to the Xiongnu army, telling them not to harm me!"

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Yes, this order is equivalent to tying the hands and feet of the Xiongnu soldiers, making it impossible for them to fight against our Qin cavalry even if they could have."

On the battlefield, you are not allowed to draw your knife against anyone, and you are not allowed to hurt anyone. If that person gets even a scratch, I will kill you. How can we fight this war then?
Chen Ping continued, "The Xiongnu soldiers who receive this order will surely feel resentful, but they cannot express their anger and dare not speak out. As a result, their morale will be low and they will give up on themselves. The general can easily defeat them." However, Wang Li was not very happy after listening to Chen Ping's analysis. Chen Ping asked again, "And what kind of soldiers do you think the Xiongnu will send to fight?"

Jiao Li answered Chen Ping's question: "Although the Xiongnu have a Chanyu, they are not the only powerful one. They have many tribes. In fact, the Chanyu and the leaders of the tribes jointly rule the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu Chanyu is actually the leader of the strongest tribe. Brother Chen, I understand what you mean!"

Jiao Li looked strange, but he was not sure: "Will they really select soldiers from various tribes and then unite them to fight together?"

The Xiongnu Chanyu and the leaders were not so stupid, were they? They selected soldiers from various tribes and formed a team of 300 people to fight against the Qin cavalry. How could these 300 people coordinate and command?
Moreover, Touman and the other leaders would secretly give different orders to the soldiers of their respective tribes, for example, they were not allowed to shoot the first arrow at Wang Li. By then, the military orders would be inconsistent, and this mixed Hun army would be in chaos. How could they defeat the Qin cavalry?
Unless Touman and the Hun leaders are crazy, they would not do this!

Chen Ping said, "From my point of view, this is probably the case. As Chanyu, Touman's primary concern is not the benefit of the entire Xiongnu, but his own. He will consider defeat first rather than victory, and will also consider what to do if something unexpected happens during this competition."

Wang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "So, Touman Chanyu would choose to drag all the other leaders along, tie them up with him, and let them take the responsibility together if they lose, and take the blame together if there is an accident?"

Everyone thought about it carefully and realized that this possibility was not only possible, but also quite high. They all took the blame together. However, if it was really like what Chen Ping said, the Xiongnu Chanyu and the leader were too...

There is a reason why the Xiongnu have been bullied by the Donghu and humiliated by the Yuezhi in recent years. Although "the Donghu was strong and the Yuezhi was prosperous", it is also because the Xiongnu's high-level officials were weak and disappointing.

Although they were both Xiongnu, under the leadership of Maodun, they directly destroyed the Donghu, making the various Donghu tribes slaves of the Xiongnu, and also defeated the Yuezhi.

Wang Li sighed, "After hearing what the envoy said, I have already predicted that we will win this battle, but I really can't feel the slightest bit of joy in my heart."

Chen Ping glanced at Wang Li and said nothing. He thought that as long as he could win, it didn't matter whether he was the opponent or not.

Isn't it good to have such an easy victory? Must a victory be achieved through great efforts to be meaningful?

If possible, please give us more victories like this that can be won without much effort. Chen Ping doesn't mind. Only people like Wang Li, who have been in the Qin army for three generations, don't know the hunger of hungry people. They always want to get rid of the glory of their father and grandfather and prove that they are not inferior.

After hearing Wang Li's sigh, Jiao Li said sternly: "General Wang Li, please put state affairs first. His Majesty and Master Li Nian are still waiting for our good news in Xianyang. Don't be careless. You must do your best to win this competition and show the power of our Great Qin to the Xiongnu!"

Seeing Jiao Li's serious expression, Wang Li also straightened his expression, stood up and clasped his fists to Jiao Li: "Wang Li obeys your order, and will definitely win the competition!"

　Watching the video of Tongliao Khan, I have an idea: no matter how poor, weak and small a country is, there is always money to be made.
