Chapter 217: Conquering the South and the North to Return to Chang'an(2/2)
The Han army practiced fighting with the legendary Wei soldiers in the military mansion every day. Although it was an illusion of doubting the tactics of the soldiers, the scene was no different from reality, and the improvement achieved can be imagined.
Amid the shouts of killing, the two sides faced off and clashed with swords.
Without Huo Qubing rehearsing, the Han army's combat effectiveness, reaction, and fighting will can be seen at a glance.
Gumo and the Kucha envoys watched for a moment, feeling goosebumps rising unknowingly, and were deeply shocked.
"I would like to ask Huo Hou what effective methods are available to cultivate a strong army?" envoy Gumo asked.
Huo Qubing said: "Train day after day, then participate in actual combat, integrate the experience of actual combat into daily training, and continue training day after day. Repeat this way, keep fighting with war, until you have experienced hundreds of battles.
, is the most effective training method."
The envoy from Gumo said in astonishment: "Suwen Huohou has military talent, how...how..."
This method sounds ordinary and ordinary. Anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs will know this stupid method.
Huo Qubing said calmly: "The smarter the person, the more stupid things they have to do. Only by combining your intelligence and stupidity and practicing repeatedly can you achieve success."
This statement seems contradictory at first, but when I think about it more carefully, I find it inexplicably profound.
After everyone calmed down, Roshna asked in person: "Huo Hou has just returned from Xiguan. I wonder if Xiguan is going to my Western Region. What is the current situation?
Is there any news from Kucha, Gu and Mexico?"
Huo Qubing: "The Huns were the first to settle in the Western Region. The news I got is that both Qiuci and Gumo were defeated in consecutive battles, and the losses were not huge.
Our Han army has fought out from Xiqiang and is stationed on the front line of Yumen, maintaining a deterrent against Loulan and Pulei."
The situation in the Western Regions before them was beyond Liu Che and Huo Qubing's expectations.
And Huo Qubing rushed to Xiguan, and he was fully capable of solving the crisis of Qiuci and Gumo being attacked by the coalition forces led by Loulan.
He did have the idea of sending troops to penetrate Loulan at the beginning.
But kindness does not control troops, and war has no humanity.
The current situation in Kucha and Gumo is actually very beneficial to the Han Dynasty, which will force them to move closer to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Huo Qubing and Emperor Wu ultimately did not send troops to resolve the crisis in Kucha and Gumo at this stage.
The heat is not yet ready.
Huo Qubing and the emperor were fishing for law enforcement. Qiuci and Gumo were already impatient. When they became more impatient and took the initiative to bite the hook, the big man would send troops again and the harvest would be even greater.
At present, the interests of the country must be carefully controlled to maximize the interests, otherwise there will be further implications, which will only increase consumption.
Roshna looked sad: "What Huo Hou said is the same as the news I got.
In the past half month, tens of thousands of people have died in our two countries, Qiuci and Gumo, including the old and the weak.
The Loulan people are cruel and cruel. Just because we are pro-Han people, they said they wanted to punish the Kucha people, so they set fire to one of our border towns, including the old and the weak, and their heads were hanged, and their bodies were not allowed to be collected."
"Huo Hou, maybe tell me, what's the point of this kind of war? In the end, is the only way to solve everything by force?"
"All parties are eyeing our Western Region. When can we usher in peace and take control of our own destiny?"
This Roshna from Qiuci is also a philosopher and idealist. She discusses the meaning of peace and war whenever she disagrees... Huo Qubing thought about it and said:
"There is a saying that if you don't have soldiers, you don't even have the qualifications to love peace."
"You must first be clear that whether war is coming or not will not be based on whether you like it or not, nor on good or evil, but on whether you have strength."
"If my opponent starts a war, he will pay a heavier price. Will he still dare to come?"
"Imagine if our positions were switched and Lou Lan came to attack my big man, what would be the result?
If they dare to come, I will destroy Loulan.
Roshna, if you want to be peace-loving, you must first learn to hold a knife. If you don't have a knife, find someone else to borrow it, or join a camp that has a knife."
"You have no soldiers, and the peace you talk about is just a joke. Who will listen to you? You hold the butcher knife high while talking about peace. If anyone doesn't believe it, you just kill him. He will definitely believe it. Isn't it very contradictory?"
p>
Huo Qubing said: "But this is the fact. Roshna, and these two envoys, you can't defend your country and people. Talking about peace will only make the Xiongnu and Loulan people laugh off their big teeth.
Might makes right, and it remains unchanged through the ages."
