After hearing this, Yuchi frowned and did not dare to speak rashly. After all, it involved national affairs.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, I smiled.
"But it doesn't matter. I have some ideas in my mind. I just want to hear your opinions on this matter."
Yuchi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his hands, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Huns have been in trouble for a long time. Before, Daqin only defended within the Great Wall, but now there is no Great Wall as a barrier in the Hexi Corridor. If we want to defend the Hexi Corridor , we can’t stick to the rules.”
I nodded and did not shy away from Han Xin: "You are right, that's why I trained a new army and won the great victory at Gushui. It's just that Wu Jian has to deal with Donghu now, and the border army may not be able to change its combat thinking for a while."
Yuchi thought for a moment and said tentatively: "If I were to guard the Hexi Corridor, I would gather all the Qin troops in the post house and order the Dada cavalry to lie in ambush around it. When the Huns come to attack, we can use the inside and outside to break it. "
I breathed a sigh of relief. Yuchi's idea coincided with mine. In fact, it was the way to defeat Hulda.
It's just that the Huns are different from Hulda. First of all, their number must be much larger. Secondly, the Huns' goal is not necessarily to directly occupy the Hexi Corridor. They may just come to take advantage of the autumn wind and just kidnap the herdsmen, cattle and sheep. For them, it was a worthwhile trip.
Not hearing my voice in agreement, Yuchi glanced at me with some anxiety.
I tapped the table gently and voiced my worries, and finally continued: "So I have the same idea as you, but I am just worried that the Huns will behave like this."
Yuchi paused, frowning, and had no better solution for the moment.
I looked at Han Xin next to me. There was no expression on his face. He was just listening to Yuchi and I talking.
"Han Xin, what do you think?"
When Yuchi heard that I actually asked Han Xin about his strategy, he looked at Han Xin in surprise. After Han Xin arrived, Wei Chi often talked with him and found that this man did have some talents, but he didn't find anything unique.
Han Xin was also stunned when he heard this, and quickly bowed and said: "Xin came to the military mansion for the first time, so I don't dare to speak nonsense."
I smiled and encouraged, "If you have any ideas, why don't you tell me?"
Han Xin glanced at Yuchi, who nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be afraid.
"Back to your majesty, I have a plan. The strategy just mentioned by Lord Yuchi is feasible, but as your majesty is worried, if the Huns come out with superior cavalry, I am afraid that even if they cannot occupy the Hexi Corridor, they will also cause great damage to the Qin army there. Huge casualties.”
"The villain thinks that since the Huns suffered a big loss in Hexi last year, they will be more cautious this year. Because the Huns don't know that the Qin army is no longer in the Hexi corridor, they will first send a small cavalry in Hexi. The test in the corridor has two purposes: first, to see if the Qin army is still in Hexi; second, at the same time, they will set up an ambush to lure the Qin army out, surround and annihilate it."
"In this way, in order to ensure that the Qin army can be defeated, even if the Xiongnu cavalry does not come out in full force, they will concentrate most of their forces to the west of Yinshan Mountain, leaving their forces to the east of Yinshan Mountain empty. But the border troops can be ordered to move northward from the clouds Drive straight in. You don’t need many troops, but the momentum must be huge to make the Huns think that we, the Qin Dynasty, are going to take Langting directly. At that time, the cavalry attacking the Hexi Corridor must choose to return for reinforcements. This is called encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao."
"Not only that, the Xinqinzhong (Hetao area) on both sides of the Deshui River is a place that our Great Qin and the Xiongnu have long fought for. Now the east side has been occupied by the Great Qin, and there are deserts and mountains in the north of the Hexi Corridor. Whether the Xiongnu goes south or north, it will Passing through the western foot of Beiyi Mountain (Helan Mountain), that was the only place they controlled. The border troops could be ordered to set up an ambush in Beiyi Mountain. The Xiongnu would be exhausted from running back and forth. The Qin army was good at battles and could defeat them. This is called waiting for work. "
"Hahahaha, okay!" I couldn't help but laugh heartily: "I didn't expect you to be a master of war. I was not wrong about the person!"
Han Xin is worthy of being called the "Soldier Immortal". He is more than just a bit talented, he is simply too talented!
Yuchi also looked at Han Xin up and down in disbelief, admiring in his heart: "As expected of the person Your Majesty likes, he can have such talent, I am not the same!" '
Han Xin nodded slightly and said humbly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm just speculating. As for marching and fighting, the offensive and defensive trends are changing rapidly, so you need to be adaptable. In addition, if you can't defeat the Huns cavalry in Beiyi Mountain, you don't have to force it, you just need to delay the Huns cavalry. . When Donghu’s affairs are over, His Majesty’s new army will naturally be able to return for reinforcements.”
The more I listened, the more satisfied I became. I nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, that's right. I will consider it carefully."
At present, this suggestion is the best, and it is much safer than Yuchi and I’s method.
Now that the matter has been resolved, I must quickly order Wu Jian and Meng Tian. The opportunity to fight is fleeting.
I stood up, straightened my robes, and said to the two of them: "Yes, you are all talented generals. After this matter is over, I will put you on the battlefield to show your ambition."
The two quickly thanked them.
Just as I was about to step out, Han Xin stopped me.
"Your Majesty, I'm brave, I have a question to ask Your Majesty."
I stopped walking, turned around and looked at him. I understood in my heart. I curved the corner of my mouth and waved my hand: "Yuchi, please step back first."
Yuchi bowed and retreated.
"You want to ask me why I know you so well?"
Han Xin bent slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise."
Although Han Xin was bent over, an eight-foot man was almost the same height as my eighteen-year-old self. I moved my steps and smiled.
"The secret of heaven must not be leaked. I can only tell you that I have never seen you, and I have never sent anyone to monitor you, but I know you very well. Han Xin, remember what I asked Sima Li to bring you, there is only one Great Qin in the world , and there will only be one Great Qin!"
After saying that, I went straight back to Xianyang Palace, leaving Han Xin alone in a daze.
After returning to Sihai Palace, I immediately ordered Qiwan.
"Qi Wan, send Han Xin's strategy to Yunzhong immediately. Return to Wu Jian and judge the timing of the attack by yourself based on the movements of Beihu and Donghu. He can mobilize the 30,000 border troops in Liaodong and Western Liaoning at will. At the same time, let Wu Jian and Meng Tian keeps in touch, and the two of them must deliver news in a timely manner. Give them the right to act expediently, and they don’t have to report to Xianyang to wait for my decision when something happens."
The transmission of news along the Great Wall is much faster. If we then concentrate on Xianyang and wait for my decision, it will take a long time to go back and forth, and we may miss the opportunity to fight.
After everything was arranged, I breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the biggest war since I took the throne, and it is being fought under my decision-making. I really don’t know what to do.
War is always full of uncertainties. It is very stressful to let a person who has never fought in a war decide whether or how to fight this war. Don't let Daqin do a Helan Mountain White Action...
