Chapter 239: Anticipating the Intentions of the Xianbei People (2)
"The worst strategy is to deal with it. After the enemy takes action, we will respond with it. We will move with the enemy's arms. Moreover, we will send a large army to Gaoliu. There will definitely not be many. At most, 30,000 infantry in the city will be sent to the east to guard the death."
"Thirty thousand vs. 30,000, not to mention the difficulty of temporarily setting up camp at this time. We do not have the advantage in terms of military strength alone. The advantage we have is that our equipment is slightly better. If the two armies fight, if the combat power cannot exceed the opponent, it is extremely risky. Once defeated, it will greatly damage our morale."
...
"Zhongce is to assemble a large army of 100,000. No matter whether there are some old and weak inside, or some Hun prisoners, our troops are three times that of the enemy, and the war balance will tend toward us. Even if the enemy and us do not fight, at most a draw will be tied, and both sides will not decide the outcome."
"Zhongce's internal thoughts are different from the bad-strate's response concept. The fundamental thing about Zhongce is that we want to wipe out or severely damage the enemy, but our Han cavalry is too short to train and lack combat power to defeat or delay the enemy. What about infantry? The infantry is not mobility enough, and Xianbei people riding horses can easily retreat and avoid war, so it will be difficult for us to wipe out or severely damage the enemy, unless they are really too arrogant."
"but!"
"As the commander of the first army, we cannot expect the enemy to be too stupid. This idea is an extremely dangerous and irresponsible behavior to soldiers. Therefore, we can only position the final result as the enemy takes the initiative to retreat. The two sides have a draw, and there is no victory or defeat between each other."
Dong Hu looked at everyone with a serious look on his face. Just as he was about to speak, the door sounded softly.
"Bangbang..."
"Big...Big brother..."
When he heard a female voice outside, Dong Hu immediately knew who it was, the princess girl who had been recognising for half a year.
"Wen Yuan."
Dong Hu pointed at Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao didn't know why, but his solemn face instantly turned into a monkey butt. Dong Chong and the veterans couldn't help but smile.
"hehe……"
Dong Chong slapped Zhang Liao on the back, and the boss grinned.
"That's it, you boy, if someone else is changed... The eldest brother won't care so much! Why don't you hurry up and see what delicious food the princess has brought?"
Zhang Liao's face turned red and hurriedly ran out of the room. Isn't it the princess Liu Yue standing outside the door? Seeing her holding the eldest brother's food box, she hurriedly took it...
"That... the lord... didn't want others to disturb him when he was in the military discussion. Don't do this in the future."
Zhang Liao didn't dare to look at Liu Yue who was bowing his head. After saying that, he hurriedly flicked into the door with the food box, and carefully closed the door carefully. After breathing two big breaths, he turned to the inner room. As soon as he stepped into the inner room, he saw that everyone seemed to be the "xiao Erzi" baby tilting his little head...
"Ha ha……"
When the group saw Zhang Liao lowering his head, he was at a loss, and they burst into laughter.
"hehe……"
Dong Hu smiled and said, "Mom is a good boy, but I'm not bad. We are a serious royal family member. Although we dare not say that we are proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting, we are much better than women who can't read big words! You, a boy from Mayi, don't be content. I don't know how many people in this world are jealous!"
Dong Chong and a group of veterans nodded in agreement. There are too many poor families in this world who are flattering the wealthy families. Are you still hoping that people can get some help?
Dong said with a key point: "Brother said it well. Princess Aweng is the old master, and her father is also the young mansion. Wen Yuan has made a lot of money!"
Zhang Liao was neither stupid nor stupid, but he knew what would be the benefit of marrying Liu Yue. However... he sighed when he thought of what Dong Hu did, but he still put the food box in front of Dong Hu honestly.
Dong Hu opened the food box and there was nothing inside. Apart from some wine, there was only his son's milk. He threw the wine to a group of generals, and he continued the previous topic while feeding his son...
"We have already made it clear that we cannot take advantage unless the enemy is really stupid. On the contrary, the three brothers Fu Luohan, Putou and Budugen did not take advantage. From the perspective of the war itself, it is a draw, no victory or defeat."
"If we must say that they have taken advantage of it, it would be that the three brothers of Luohan plundered Dai County and Youzhou."
"But you have to know one thing: a draw between the enemy and us refers to a draw in military terms, not a draw in politics, or a draw in power."
While feeding his son, the little bastards were not honest and always wanted to reach out to grab the spoon. He was so angry that he directly delivered the big porcelain bowl to his son's mouth. While feeding the baby, he casually talked about the confrontation between the two sides.
"We need to say more about our own affairs. As long as we can defeat the Xianbei people and let the people see that we have the ability to protect the country, our hearts will gradually stabilize, and the newly swallowed Huns will gradually give up. After realizing that their lives are gradually getting better and better than before, they will be completely on the same path as us... On the contrary, if we lose, we must make a strategic move, and we must shrink all the people to Yanmen County, and give up all the places, turning ourselves into a tight fist, and honestly practicing our own abilities!"
"I won't talk about these things. You just need to have a clear mind. So... what about the Xianbei people in Danhanshan? Let's take a step back and do not distinguish between military victory or defeat. What political impact will it have on them?"
“Ahhh…”
His son's little head shaking and he didn't want to drink it anymore. Dong Hu drank all the remaining sips of milk into his stomach. He no longer hugged his son, but threw him into a wooden walker, allowing him to run around in the warm room...
Dong Hu stood up and sat next to Dong Chong, pulled the stove in front of him, and watched everyone speak while baking the fire.
"The Xianbei in Danhanshan is divided into pieces. If it weren't for our excessive force, or if they collectively went south to plunder, it would be difficult for them to work together. In other words,... Kuitou has no absolute authority or control at all. The younger brothers below have the strength to challenge his authority!"
"The four brothers Kuitou, Fu Luohan, Putou, and Budugen were originally the Xianbei lineage of Danhanshan. They prospered and prospered and suffered losses. Our army gathered 100,000 soldiers under Pingcheng, and it was not embarrassing to retreat in front of 100,000 people. However, they plundered Dai County and the Wuwan people in the Qiushui (Yanghe) valley. They killed 30,000 people, but our army had to draw 100,000 people to resist."
"What kind of existence is our army? Our army had just defeated the Huns. The Xianbei people had not fought with us much, but they fought with the Huns for a hundred years. After our army defeated the Huns, is our army stronger than the Huns?"
"But, the three brothers Fu Luohan, Putou, and Bu Dugen sent 30,000 troops, but our army had to resist 100,000 people. How would the Xianbei people in various departments view the four brothers in Danhanshan? Do you think that the four brothers work together to be another powerful Tan Shihuai?"
Dong Hu said: "Zhongce can achieve a military equality between the enemy and us, and no victory or defeat. However, in politics, we are helping Kuitou, helping Danhanshan, and helping the four brothers unify the split Xianbei together. Of course, let's say this, it doesn't mean that the entire Xianbei immediately became a tightly clenched fist. The split Xianbei is not so easy to reunite, and it is unlikely that it will be unified in a short time."
"The military strategy says, when you are close to each other, it is to separate the intimate enemies and make them loose sand, rather than to pinch the scattered enemies together."
"So what's the plan?"
"Get away from him with your loved one!"
"The plan is to make them more dispersed! It is to severely damage the prestige of Danshan Mountain!"
Yao Shan thought something and hesitated: "What the big leader means... let's take the initiative to attack that Kuitou?"
Dong Hu drank a little wine, leaned his body to deliver the wine pot to the hand of veteran Yao Shan, and nodded with a smile.
"Uncle Dashan is right, not right. We are attacking Kuitou, but the purpose is to kill the three brothers Fu Luohan, Putou and Budugen."
Everyone was stunned. Dong Hu stood up, picked up the bamboo pole from the desk, and pointed to the sluggish map hanging.
"We personally lead 30,000 Han cavalry, 5,000 young cavalry and 10,000 infantry to head north. At the same time, we ordered Liu Qi, who was stationed in Yunzhong Pass, to go north from Beiyu and Wuquan, to go out along the Wuquanshui (Xiaoheihe River) and take a detour to attack the Danhan Mountain behind Kuitou."
Yao Yong said with some concern: "Liu Qi has only 5,000 cavalry. Isn't it too risky to attack Danhan Mountain?"
Dong Hu nodded and said, "There were nearly 100,000 people invading Youzhou this time, including Fuluhan, Putou, Budugen, which belonged to Danhan Mountain, and 30,000 Kuitou who confronted Huaxiong. This time, Danhan Mountain sent a total of 60,000 soldiers to control strings. So how many soldiers are left in Danhan Mountain to fight?"
Everyone nodded silently, and sent 60,000 troops to Danhan Mountain, and there would definitely not be too many young and strong people left in the tribe.
"Everyone knows what Liu Qi is from. It will not be too dangerous if he leads five thousand cavalry to attack. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can't fight, you will leave. The situation we want is not to let him take down Danhan Mountain, but to retreat to Kuitou who confronts Hua Xiong."
Dong Hu pointed at Kuitou with a bamboo pole and said, "Liu Qi led five thousand cavalry to kill Danhan Mountain. What kind of response will Kuitou make?"
“There are only three options.”
"The first is to defeat us, defeat Hua Xiong and the total number of 70,000 infantry and cavalry led by us, 30,000 vs. 70,000!"
"This choice is basically impossible. If Kuitou is really willing to lose his troops, he shouldn't be confronting Hua Xiong Baili."
"The second is to return to the army to rescue Danhan Mountain immediately. This is a very likely situation. After all, the importance of the foundation is not to be said more."
"The third is to immediately turn to Qiushui Valley and join the three brothers Fuluhan. Sixty thousand Xianbei cavalry formed a fist, with the strength of our army. When our army fights it, no matter what the final result is, our army will lose a lot."
