The flat land in front of Shanhaiguan is very narrow.
The Han army had 180,000 households and more than 200,000 troops. The military camp could not be brought together. Expand according to the long snake formation.
There is a general who will be the vanguard, and the camp will be set up in front of Shanhaiguan.
A general led a battalion of men and horses alone and stood on the side of the mountain as a support.
For example, the cavalry of Wu Min and Feng Chong were of no use in front of Shanhaiguan. They were positioned at the rear as backup.
The layout of the military camp is a great test of the commander's internal strength.
Wu Nian, his staff, and generals all have profound internal skills.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Nian was sitting on the commander's seat, wearing neither a dragon robe nor armor, only a purple robe, dressed very casually.
Standing in front of him on both sides were military attachés such as Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Chen Jiagui, Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun, and Wei Polu, as well as civilian officials headed by Hojo Ujimasa.
In the center, there is a screen with a map.
Wu Nian pointed at the map, looked up at the civil and military forces on both sides, and asked: "Look. I'm just trying to make a fool of myself. Just like when I attacked the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, how about digging a tunnel?"
The military attache, Hojo Ushimasa and others shook their heads in unison.
"No way." Wu Nian smiled and stood up and walked to the map, crossing his arms and looking at the map.
Shanhaiguan is related to the city.
A decent 800-year-old city with very strong defenses. But this Guancheng is only a component of Shanhaiguan's city defense system.
It is the starting point of the Great Wall. The city defense system extends from the sea to the mountains. The Chu army could also march along the Great Wall to replenish Shanhaiguan troops.
The Great Wall is a highway.
There are military camps, acropolis, etc. around Guancheng.
Xiong Wuwo has been operating here for many years. With 80,000 horse infantry under his command, he runs this place like an iron barrel.
The main thing is.
There are no common people in these cities. Military fortress, small but powerful. Concentration of troops. Even if you dig a hole into the city, you will be surrounded and left in a panic.
If the purpose is not to occupy the city, dig a hole into the Great Wall.
It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. No supplies, only one ending. completely annihilated.
Although Liu Zhixing's plan was already in place, Wu Nian was very interested in being armed to the teeth, Xiong Wu's pride, and the iron wall of Chu State.
It would be such a sense of accomplishment if we could break into Shanhaiguan.
It can barely be regarded as an occupational disease.
But it’s just a fantasy, I really can’t get in. As long as the bear is in Shanhaiguan, there will be enough food.
Even if we fight for a hundred years, we won't be able to get in.
"Yes. The three of you will attack the city tomorrow. Don't let the thunder be too loud and the raindrops light. But don't attack fiercely either, lest the damage will be too great."
"The plank road will be built tomorrow."
"That's right. Although the tunnel is useless, it is still dug out. The bear on the opposite side will not be able to rest for a moment without me."
Wu Nian lowered his arms, turned around, returned to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and said to Lu Yanxun, Zhang Zhen and Wei Polu.
"yes."
The three of them shouted yes.
That's it for the plank road built in the Ming Dynasty. Wu Nian was planning to wave everyone away and read a book by himself.
"Da da da."
An imperial guard came in from the outside, bent down and reported: "Your Majesty, the soldiers guarding the camp gate have captured a group of people."
"The leader calls himself Ding Chengyuan, the Minister of Rites."
When Wu Nian heard this, he smiled at everyone and said, "An old friend of the Han people."
"please come in."
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded, turned around and went down.
this matter. What Wu Nian did was unkind. He took back all the words he said.
However, he was not ashamed.
Be a human being.
Fidelity is important.
But it is different between countries.
The civil and military ministers were either smiling or calm, standing very neatly, waiting for people to come in.
Shortly after. Ding Chengyuan, wearing Chu official uniform and a black gauze hat, walked in from outside. After entering, he immediately saluted with a low posture and said: "Foreign Minister Ding Chengyuan, pay homage to His Majesty the King of Han."
"No courtesy." Wu Nian waved his hand, and then asked: "Ding Gong came from afar. He is the Emperor Daojun. Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"Exactly." Ding Chengyuan lowered his head and said, then he took a deep breath and still lowered his head and said: "Has the King of Han forgotten what he said to the foreign ministers? Now it is the Three Kingdoms pattern. If Chu and Han cannot unite, they will be defeated by the Slavs. Defeat them one by one."
"Now that the King of Han has raised 800,000 troops to march south, wouldn't he be breaking his promise? Wouldn't it be painful for his relatives and quick for his enemies?"
"I did say this, but I lied to you."
"Furthermore, although there are lessons from history, we don't necessarily have to act according to past mistakes. I am neither Sun Quan nor Liu Bei."
"Not even Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian."
"I am a fierce tiger from Liaodong. My surname is Wu and my given name is Nian. I am the King of Han."
Wu Nian said calmly without blushing or out of breath.
"Hey." Ding Chengyuan sighed, managed to cheer up, and said with head held high, "King of Han. Although the court and I believed what King Han said, we ended up where we are now."
"You really deserve it."
"But foreign ministers dare to ask the King of Han, can you break through Shanhaiguan? Can you defeat Xiong Wuwo's 80,000-horse infantry?"
"I don't know. But I want to give it a try." Wu Nian shook his head and said.
"The King of Han is unkind." Ding Chengyuan's eyes lit up and he said.
"Why do you say that?" Wu Nian was slightly startled, then raised his head and asked curiously.
"Shanhaiguan has an iron wall, Xiong Wuwu is a general, and the 80,000-horse infantry is sharp. Just to give it a try, the King of Han rashly launched a war."
"One loss of troops and horses."
"It wastes people and hurts money."
"Three, if the Slavs learn of the situation, they will attack the Three Han Dynasties. The Han Kingdom will be in danger of subjugation."
"Isn't the King of Han [unkind]?" Ding Cheng said in a distant voice.
"That's right. Unkindness means unkindness." Wu Nian laughed and shook his head.
Ding Chengyuan was overwhelmed by Wu Young's understatement and fell to the ground unable to move. If this ordinary person is accused face to face of being unkind and righteous.
Still not furious?
What's more, he is the majestic King of Han.
Looking at Wu Nian's expression, he looked calm, no, shameless.
Ding Chengyuan took another deep breath, changed his strategy, and begged: "King of Han. As long as the King of Han retreats, Chu is willing to provide coins, beauties, Shu brocade, gems, and jade."
Wu Nian shook his head. Cartilage is cartilage.
When one hundred thousand households of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty went south, the Chu State lost Liaodong, but it did not resolve to take revenge and regain Liaodong. Instead, Xiong Wuwo was sent to guard Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan is right at the doorstep.
As long as the fire doesn't reach your door, it doesn't matter.
In order to maintain the "peace" between Chu and Han. It can be said that the kings and ministers of Chu State fell on their knees and licked him.
The results of it?
After Wu Nian thought for a while, he raised his head and asked Ding Chengyuan: "Dong Gong. What do you think of my soldiers and horses?"
Ding Chengyuan didn't understand why Wu Nian said that, but he didn't dare not answer. He cupped his hands and said seriously: "Report to the King of Han. The Han army has strong soldiers and horses."
"Yes. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong." Wu Nian nodded, then stood up and put his hands behind his back, looking down at Ding Chengyuan.
The King of Han is so imposing, how can he take it easy?
Ding Chengyuan couldn't help lowering his head, not daring to look at Wu Nian.
Son of Heaven.
The emperor has the aura of the emperor.
Compared with the strong and powerful King of Han in front of him, Emperor Daojun is simply...
Wu Nian said with a smile: "I won't say anything. I'm talking about the situation where morality is not matched. I will use the famous sayings from the Five Dynasties to tell you what reality is."
"How can there be a true emperor since ancient times? The one with strong soldiers and horses is the emperor."
"What I want is not coins, beauties, emeralds, and gems. What I want is the south of the Great Wall. No. What I want is the traditional territory of China. After integrating it, we can have a good fight with the Slavs."
"Seal the wolf to live in Xu."
"do you understand?"
