In the military confrontation between two countries, the so-called trump card.
Not much.
War is a continuation of politics.
The means are the same.
incite defection.
In instigating rebellion.
The level cannot be too low.
As a civil servant, he is at least a prefect. Among the military commanders, at least he has a thousand households.
But this was impossible in the Han Dynasty. Wu Nian treated the prefects and generals with kindness and righteousness, and never had any doubts.
As the saying goes, "Don't trust the people you employ, and don't trust the people you doubt", even for a rebellious guy like Zhao Yanting. Wu Nian also saw through his nature and had no doubts.
Generous pensions and generous salaries for high-ranking officials.
Wu Nian admires the loyalty and bravery of people like Zhao Mancheng.
Now the battle between Zhao Mancheng and Zhao Yanting is no small matter. He fought bravely and the battlefield was very tragic.
What's more, Wu Nian was open and honest with the soldiers and civilians, and talked freely about everything. He personally started the nationalism of Yanhan and used it to unite people's hearts.
Having said that, we have to live a hard life and concentrate on doing big things.
This is a big deal.
That is to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong.
Although over the years, the Han people in Liaodong have not had a good life. The Han Dynasty court absorbed the people's fat and anointed them and plundered them as much as possible, but the people had no complaints.
We work together to accomplish great things.
Even if a thousand generals or prefects rebel, there may be signs. He would be slaughtered by his subordinate soldiers and civilians.
He is really strong.
Instigating rebellion is impossible.
Then there aren't many options left. The high probability is the mobilization of troops. For example, Meng Yuan secretly established one or even several armies, conducted secret training, and prepared to enter the battlefield.
A huge country can do this kind of thing.
Especially the Imperial City Division's penetration of Meng Yuan was not perfect. There are many things that the spies of the Imperial City Division cannot find out.
If this is the option.
The Meng Yuan people could directly dispatch secret troops and join in the decisive battle of Huanglong. Or attack Guangyang Mansion from the north.
Most likely it's the former.
There are two full-time defense guards in Guangyang Mansion, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Even if Meng Yuan once again gathered 100,000 households to go south, the Han army and people would be able to resist for a long time as they worked together.
With that power, it would be better to plunge directly into the decisive battle of Huanglong.
If Han loses, it will be in ruins for at least five years.
Now that the war has reached this point, soldiers on both sides have suffered numerous casualties. The Han army had the upper hand and was about to overwhelm the east wall and the west wall.
Meng Yuan's trump card, don't invest anymore.
Then you will lose.
On the high platform, in the strong wind. Wu Nian stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves flying, his eyes shining brightly, he was very confident and calm.
He turned around and said to an Ouchi guard beside him: "Instruct Zhang Sheng's soldiers to put on armor and prepare for battle."
"yes."
The Ouchi guards showed awe-inspiring expressions upon hearing this, now our army has the upper hand. But Chunyuan still has 10,000 households left. Is this to guard against Chunyuan?
He was thinking in his heart, but it didn't stop him from bowing in response, turning around and going down to deliver the order.
The ten thousand households of the two imperial guards shared the same camp. At this moment, Zhang Sheng's Ouchi guards have already assembled. Only some are wearing armor and some are preparing.
Next to the flag with the character "Zhang". Zhang Sheng was sitting on a small bench wearing short clothes, looking up at the sky from time to time. I thought to myself: "The sky is really not beautiful. Although the rain is cool, it is not suitable for fighting."
Fighting in rainy days will greatly increase physical strength consumption.
If a soldier catches a cold, he may catch a cold and become a large-scale disease.
Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to withdraw troops on rainy days. But this decisive battle is obviously impossible.
Life and death are in this moment.
Neither country will back down.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded. Zhang Sheng's heart was lifted, and when he looked up, he saw a cavalry galloping towards him.
"General. Your Majesty has an order. I order you to wear armor and prepare for battle." The messenger on horseback shouted towards Zhang Sheng.
"I have the order." Zhang Sheng shouted, and then he stood up energetically, with a bright light in his eyes, and said to the left and right: "Send the order to the entire army, prepare for battle."
"Tell the soldiers. We are the soldiers of the King of Han and enjoy extremely high treatment. We must not lag behind others at critical moments."
"Give me the first prize."
"Yes." The soldiers on the left and right responded loudly, and then dispersed to deliver the order. Following Zhang Sheng's order, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, with the help of their companions, put on their battle coats and armor and entered a state of preparation for war.
The Ouchi guards had done this countless times, putting on jackets and armor.
They were also calm and made no mistakes.
The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, very fast.
But in this short period of time, the situation changed.
"Drive!!!!!!!" An Ouchi guard guarding the northern camp gate came galloping over with a solemn look on his face. He immediately arrived at the foot of the high platform and communicated with the Ouchi guard guarding the high platform. After a while, he got off his horse and walked quickly onto the high platform.
Wu Nian heard the movement and turned around, his eyes very calm.
"Report to the king. A troop was found in the border area. The flag is "Qian". There are about 10,000 households. The soldiers are very strong and move quickly. We are still five or six miles away."
The Ouchi guard gasped and bent down to report.
The expressions of the Ouchi guards around him changed slightly.
Even in a decisive battle of this scale, a force of ten thousand households cannot be underestimated. As the troops of tens of thousands of households are put into the battlefield, the situation will definitely change.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Nian's mouth, and that was indeed the case.
This is Meng Yuan's trump card.
It’s just that Wanhu is “doing it” and I don’t know who it is. Among the many generals of ten thousand households, there is no one named Gan. It seems that this army was really secretly trained by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty to prepare for the decisive battle of Huanglong.
But even if it is a famous general and a strong army, it will be better.
I have 110,000 households.
The opponents are also 110,000 households.
In terms of military strength, both sides were evenly matched. In the battle between eighteen thousand households below, the Han soldiers had the upper hand. Now he still has two of the strongest Ouchi guards, Wanhu, in his hands.
Why did the Meng Yuan people win?
With confidence and calmness, Wu Nian began to think about countermeasures. The opponent is still five or six miles away from the decisive battle, and there is still a little time.
One can send Zhang Sheng to attack and volley to destroy the opponent.
Second, Zhang Sheng was asked to stay on the northern flank of the battlefield to defend.
One attacks.
Both defend.
After careful consideration, Wu Nian chose the latter. The Ten Thousand Households of Soldiers of the Ouchi Guards commanded by Zhang Sheng are not afraid of any of the Meng Yuan Ten Thousand Households of Soldiers.
But far from the decisive battle site, there are unpredictable risks.
Is this Meng Yuan’s trump card?
What if there is more?
Did you eat Zhang Sheng?
This is the decisive battle.
You need to be cautious, but also bold and bold. Be cautious when it is time to be cautious, and fight bravely when it is time to fight bravely.
The sparkle in Wu Nian's eyes suddenly flourished.
"Tell all the generals the news. Send the order. Ask Zhang Sheng to leave the camp and form a defensive formation to the north." Wu Nian turned around and said to an imperial guard.
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded, turned around and went down.
