Straight man of steel

Chapter 387 Reappearance of the Battle of Mayi
“Teachers can use some special symbols to connect with Daxing Chuda.

Doesn't this add to the confidentiality between each other?However, time is short and it is still difficult to come up with some symbols that can be communicated. "

Wang Qing waited for Yan Yi to finish speaking and then continued.

This is indeed the case, there is no way to rush the progress of Taixue, all because of the rush of time.

The only way for those students to work hard to quickly grasp the position is to use official positions to attract them.

At that time, tell them that there will be an assessment, so that they will be divided into grades and ranks. Those with good grades can be appointed as the commander of a battalion, and those with poor grades can only be subordinated to the commander.

I believe that the enthusiasm of the students will be greatly improved by then.

What Yan Yi said was quite satisfactory, but it was Wang Qing who reminded Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan holds something that no one can imagine in this era, that is, language and writing.

It would take a long time for others to create symbols whose meanings no one else knows in order to communicate, but Zhang Yuan had a bunch of ready-made words that he could use.

"Wang Qing, go get me a map."

Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to talk to Wang Qing, and then Wang Qing ran to get the map. He naturally knew what Zhang Yuan needed.

When Wang Qing brought the map, Zhang Yuan began to compare the maps.

Some places can be marked with simplified Chinese characters, such as some place names, but Zhang Yuan intends to use English letters to represent some places.

Use E for the east, W for the west, S for the south, and N for the north.

As for Northwest, it is represented by WN, and so on.

Zhang Yuan intends to use Arabic numerals for all quantifiers.

1234567890.

Simple and clear, others still can't understand.

Except for the angle Zhang Yuan has no solution for the time being, the confidentiality of other exchanged information can be resolved.

The angle can actually be solved, but the solution is too straightforward. If the Huns find out, even if they can't understand the message, they will understand what Chuda wants to do.

However, Zhang Yuan was already satisfied with being able to solve the general position of the main army of the Huns.

"Wang Qing, you have done me a great favor."

Zhang Yuan, who quickly determined the method, was very happy.

He is now waiting for Chu Da to finish solving Daxing's affairs and bring people to Zhang's residence to study.

There are not many place names on this map, most of them are mountains and rivers.

There were only four or five cities, and Chu Da didn't need to learn much simplified Chinese characters. Zhang Yuan didn't want to teach him simplified Chinese characters and then ask him to write a composition, as long as he could express the place names clearly.

The direction is only four letters, the number of miles is expressed in Arabic numerals, and the number of troops can also be expressed in Arabic numerals.

"The teacher already has a plan in mind?"

Wang Qing thought that Zhang Yuan only had a rough idea, but seeing Zhang Yuan's happy face, he felt that it was far more than that.

"Yes, there are not many symbols needed to convey a secret message, and you can find a way with a little thought."

Zhang Yuan removed a big stone in his heart, and his whole body felt a lot easier.

"It's just what should the former general do now?"

Yan Yi immediately brought Zhang Yuan back to reality.

There are too many rebellious people, and it is really very difficult to make everyone obey Wei Qing.

Sometimes it is more difficult to resolve internal conflicts than external ones.

"Unless the former general can achieve great achievements before departure, but no matter how great the achievements are, they will not be able to overwhelm General Li and the others."

Wang Qing analyzed it and said.

Li Guang had made too many meritorious deeds, and Wei Qing only had that one military exploit.

Feng Hou talked about success in one battle, but his prestige in the army was slowly accumulated after battle after battle.

Compared with other military generals, Wei Qing still lacks one thing, his background.

This does not mean that there is no way to solve it in a short time. Even if Wei Qing is given time, next year's war against Hungary will solve the Aries King and Lou Fan King in the Hetao area as Zhang Yuan envisioned, and Wei Qing's prestige cannot be directly overshadowed. Li Guang.

"Is there any other way of thinking? It's not necessary to make generals like Li Guang succumb to Wei Qing."

Zhang Yuan held his head and murmured.

There is no first text, no second martial arts.

Many people were not convinced until the strongest general of the big man was determined.

Zhang Yuan had never seen such an amiable person in the big tent of the Han army during that expedition.

Although there is no intrigue, it is a bit difficult to convince anyone.

"Maybe we can be ashamed for a while."

Wang Qing stopped mid-sentence.

Zhang Yuan and Yan Yi's eyes were all focused on him.

"How shameless?"

"Teacher, think about it, what General Li desires most is actually what those generals desire.

Once a person has a desire, is it easier to control it? "

"Fenghou?"

"Yes, give them the hope of becoming a Marquis in a single battle.

So are you worried that they won't work hard then? "

"I know they will work hard, but what I want is for them to be obedient."

"It's very simple, although after separating the entire army, the former general can no longer control the army.

But you can pick out the position that is the easiest to get military merit, put obedient people in that position, and give them some irrelevant tasks for those who are disobedient. "

Zhang Yuan frowned after listening, Wang Qing still thought a little simple.

If this was really done, then Li Guang's position would be extremely embarrassing, making Li Guang subservient to Wei Qing would already be wronging Li Guang in the eyes of everyone in the big man.

Now that Li Guang is no longer reused, but Li Guang is placed in a dispensable position, so what if he wins this war.

In the end, Wei Qing still had to add a reputation of being intolerant and petty.

Besides, those military generals can also temporarily listen to Wei Qing's words, and then release themselves after gaining military power, then Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan would be stupid.

It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before, Zhang Yuan seems to have such a time in his memory.

Obviously Zhang Qian cooperated with Li Guang to besiege the Huns army.

But in the end, Zhang Qian led the army and disappeared, leaving Li Guang and a Han army to besiege the Huns. Instead, they were besieged by the Huns.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan wanted to hit the table.

Ma De, there are so many generals but none of them can believe it, it's also a ghost.

"Teacher, what you said is right, we don't need to let those generals just obey orders.

We just need to send them all to the designated location, and then delegate power, wouldn't it be good? "

Yan Yi said suddenly.

Zhang Yuan felt that what Yan Yi said was interesting, and his eyes signaled him to continue.

"Teacher, the battle targets between you and the former general are King Lou Fan and King Aries."

Yan Yi got up and pointed to the Hetao area on the map.

"Only relying on the army that the former general himself could control, as long as the army exceeds [-], it will be able to forcibly defeat the Huns cavalry of King Loufan and King Aries."

Yan Yi slid his finger while talking, and slowly pointed to the Hexi Corridor.

"What we are most worried about right now is whether the Xiongnu tribe in Hexi, which is the closest to the Hetao area, will come to support King Loufan and King Aries.

That is, the Hunxie King Tribe and the Xiutu King Tribe, which are active between Yanzhi Mountain and Hunye Mountain, are the closest to Loufan King.

If they raided for days and got the news quickly, they might be able to arrive within a few days. "

The speed of the raid on the grassland is not in the Han area. There are no obstacles, and the speed of the horses is very fast.

"And the most critical point is that we attacked the Xiongnu from south to north, and they probably escaped by detour.

Teacher, what you are thinking is that we will be the main force to involve King Loufan and King Aries, while the rest of the generals will surround them. "

Zhang Yuan nodded heavily. He remembered that although the Hetao war against Hungary in history was a complete victory, King Loufan and King Aries still ran away.

And Zhang Yuan wanted to take down the Loufan King and the Aries King. These two heads are the titles of the two princes.

And they are the two Huns who are the easiest to win.

King Loufan and King Aries are no different than King Hunxie and King Xiutu, as well as those Hun kings who were attached to the king's court by the Hun Da Shan.

The Hetao area is too close to the border of the Han Dynasty, and the water and grass are fertile. Finding their location couldn't be easier.

In addition, the combined forces controlled by the two Hun kings are not as good as one Hunxie king, but their military achievements are the same.

It must be easy and pleasant to find some soft persimmons to pinch at the beginning.

"Since the teacher is worried about the two of them escaping and doesn't believe in the abilities of the other generals, then why not let the former general surround and cut off the retreat of the Aries King Loufan.

With General Li Guang and General Li Xi as the main force to attack the Huns from the front?King Aries and King Lou Fan escaped all the way south.

Escaping from here has to break through the encirclement of our Han army, which is basically a dead end.

But if they escape to the north, as long as they cross the Yellow River, it will be a flat river, and there is nothing we can do if we want to continue to chase. "

Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed after listening.

He didn't believe in Li Guang's abilities, and he didn't believe in his own either.

The Hetao area looks quite small on the map, but hundreds of thousands of troops can't occupy much of it.

If it were Wei Qing, would he really be able to accurately find the direction where King Aries and King Loufan escaped and catch them?
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but think about whether it was feasible or not.

Thinking that this might be the only way, Zhang Yuan kept his eyes on the map.

The Hetao area has not yet been captured, and even the territory occupied by the Huns has moved southward compared to when the Han Dynasty first founded the country.

In the early Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall was built in the Yinshan Mountains, but now the area where King Loufan and Aries King are active has already crossed the Great Wall in Yinshan.

So this war is to regain territory rather than to capture the territory that the Huns themselves occupied.

It sounds a bit sad to say that the big man has been expanding his territory in other places, but he has been losing territory in Heshuo.

Although the border between the two countries is not very obvious now, Han people gradually disappeared from Heshuo, but the Huns and Qiang people have been active in this area, and the territory is no different than lost.

"You said that Li Guang and the others set off from Shangjun and attacked the Xiongnu from south to north, while the former general and I went north from Yanmen, then went around to the north of Yinshan Mountain and then went south. Can we be safe?"

"Teacher, do you think the battle of Mayi can be repeated?"

Ever since Zhang Yuan talked about the war, Yan Yi's thoughts seemed to be turned on.

"Tell me what you think."

"It's hard for us to destroy King Loufan and King Aries in Hetao, but what about in Henan?
This is a place where both are active, but Henan can only cross the Yinshan Mountains through the Hetao area.

There is only one best place to walk in Yinshan.

Gao Que! "

Yan Yi pointed heavily at the map, and clicked on this place where both the Qin army and the Han army passed through countless times and even fought.

The Yinshan Mountains were cut off from the northwest to Gaoque. The Huns army of King Loufan and King Baiyang could only go here if they wanted to escape the pursuit of the Han army.

To the west is the great desert, and the Huns may not be able to come out even if they enter, while to the east is Shangjun.

The army led by Wei Qing was not all defenders of northern Xinjiang. The Xiongnu army headed east and bumped into the Han army stationed in northern Xinjiang.

Without knowing that there is an ambush, they can only return from Gaoque to the Hetao area. If they are more ruthless, they can also ambush the pursuing Han army here.

The only difficulty is to lure King Loufan and King Aries to Henan.

That's why Yan Yi asked if he could replay the Battle of Mayi.

It seems that this method is the method with the lowest cost and the highest success rate.

Let the Xiongnu army drill into the sack by themselves, and then Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing will take care of the mouth of the sack.

"Teacher, I have an idea."

"Say!"

Zhang Yuan felt that it was a wise move for him to ask these two students today.

"Didn't Daxing Chu Da pretend to be an envoy to the Jingjue Kingdom of the Western Regions?

When the time comes to go on an envoy mission, let the envoy team set out from Henan with a large number of gifts and treasures.

Spread the news, so that King Aries and King Loufan can taste the sweetness first.

You suggest that Your Majesty, when the war begins in the spring of next year, send another group of envoys to a certain country in the Western Regions, and the scale will be larger than that of Daxing Chuda.

The accompanying food gifts are more gold, silver and treasure. Do you think the Huns will be fooled by their greed? "

After Yan Yi finished speaking, he smiled at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan slapped Yan Yi hard on the shoulder.

“Good boy, you have not been by my side all these years in vain.

This strategy is feasible, the Huns are used to fighting the autumn wind, so it is easy for them to be fooled. "

The Huns attacked the Han caravans and envoys not once or twice. They were so arrogant that they didn't take the Han people seriously.

The big deal is that you can't win or run away?
Even if the Xiongnu was defeated in Mayi by Shan Yu's military officials last time, the battle losses were almost one to one with the Han army.

And that time it was in a valley area, so the implication of an ambush was too strong.

Now that the huge Henan land is used as the valley outside Mayi city, would the Huns have thought that the big man would use such a large area as an area to encircle?
Zhang Yuan can't guess, but this method has the highest success rate, so you can try it.
