Gongsun He looked worried. Now they don't have much food and grass. Although many small and large tribes were raided in the Hexi Corridor to use cow and goat milk products as food, there were only a few Huns. Even if all the Huns in the Hexi Corridor were searched, they would not have much food now. They only have enough food for a month.
This is only possible if you save money on food.
"No need to worry."
Compared to Gongsun He's sorrow, Wei Qing seemed a little calm.
"When we march into Juyanze, the cavalry will definitely know that it is inevitable to come back with reinforcements. In this way, the food road can be reopened!"
"That's why I build a stronghold instead of attacking immediately."
"Defense will not consume food faster than offense, and."
A profound smile appeared on Wei Qing's face.
"As long as we can stand firm in Juyanze, we will win."
"Building a fortified city into a city, the Hexi Corridor is the land of the Han Dynasty, and we are expanding the territory and expanding the territory!"
"What about the Huns attacking now?"
Gongsun He's words made Wei Qing's smile fade away.
yes.
If the Huns don't give him this opportunity, then everything will be empty talk.
I just hope that the cavalry rushes to the rescue not so fast, and that there are not so many Huns defenders left in Juyanze.
Wei Qing's face was solemn: "Uncle Zi, lead your elite troops to patrol day and night. We can't miss a moment!"
"Okay, you just make up your mind."
Gongsun He stood up and cupped his hands.
Although his Gongsun family doesn't have much ability, they can just follow the right people.
In the original history, he followed Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao followed Huo Qubing and were granted the title of marquis one after another. Instead, they were allowed to lead the army alone several times. The result was a disastrous defeat or failed. Several times they were stripped of their titles and then followed. Wei and Huo took it back, and it belonged to the bug players.
The Han army carried out extensive construction work here and chose a highland that was easy to defend but difficult to attack to build a wall and city.
There is no shortage of water sources for Juyanze, which can be seen from its name.
——
"I'll wait to see you, Your Majesty!"
Lives in the north of Yanze.
The 20,000 soldiers of the Youyi Army who stayed behind were boosted in morale.
Hu Er and others even bowed their heads.
Only those who were conquered by Hu Shui on the grassland looked at the heroic and heroic man on the horse with some confusion at this moment, wondering what to do for a moment.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong by following blindly. If others kneel down and worship, they will follow suit.
Only the smile on King Xiutu's face never dropped. He knew that he had made the right bet. There was an even bigger force behind Hu Shui!
"Okay, everyone, get up."
Riding on his horse, Zhang Qi looked at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground and said.
There are not only warriors from the Youyi Army and the Xiutu Tribe here, but the entire Xiutu Tribe and the tribes and herdsmen who depend on the Xiutu Tribe are here.
There is no need to count them in detail. If you look around, there are no less than 70,000 to 80,000 people.
As Zhang Qi raised his hand, You Yijun and the cavalry guards stood up one after another. Seeing this, everyone else also stood up.
Zhang Qi got off his horse, and Hu Shui familiarly took the reins from his hands.
"Those who hold the rank of captain or above will follow me, the others will disperse and rest!"
"promise!"
One hundred, forty and fifty people followed Zhang Qi into the big tent.
Without removing his armor, Zhang Qilong walked quickly to the table placed on the sand table in the middle.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the flag was planted and asked: "Is this the Han army?"
"Yes."
One of the cavalrymen on the side answered.
Each of the generals stood up and surrounded the sand table with water.
"What's going on with the Han army?"
In a race against time, Zhang Qi knew that soldiers are valuable and fast, so giving the Han army more time would make it more difficult for him.
"They have chosen a site to build a stronghold. Chariots and cavalry are patrolling outside, but they are not far from the main force."
Another person from the generals replied.
"clever!"
Zhang Qi's eyes flashed with light.
He instantly understood Wei Qing's intention.
"They want to build a city with some scattered noodles!"
"Hu Shui, send me a general named Pi and 10,000 energetic Youyi soldiers to harass them. Don't let the Han army be so leisurely!"
"The arrows are free for use. When I come, there will be no shortage of supplies!"
"promise!"
Hu Shui handed over his hand.
Then someone was picked out from among the generals: "Aguda, take the people with you! Harassment first, no need for head-on collision!"
"The last general takes command!"
A general took the order loudly and walked out of the tent.
Rumors rang outside the tent.
"The third school, the fifth school, the seventh school, and the 21st school of Youyi Army are all ready, check the weapons!"
"promise!"
"promise!"
".!"
Inside the account.
Zhang Qi continued to stare at the sand table.
"Wei Qing's plan is to dominate the territory. If You Yi's army comes to attack, he won't be able to use too many soldiers, because his main focus is still on building a stronghold. Is there a water source over there?"
"Yes, there are three streams around the Han army."
"Is it source water or earth water?"
"Everything!"
Zhang Qi frowned.
"Purify the source water first. If one of the more than 200,000 people gets sick, then they will get sick for a whole group of people!"
"promise!"
Another general came out with the order.
Zhang Qi walked around the sand table, and the soldiers consciously stepped back several steps to get out of their way.
"The place was chosen well. He occupied the few highlands in Juyanze. The only directions he can attack are the south and the north. The south is considered Han territory for the time being. In this way, we want to invade the Han army. There is only one option for the formation: the north!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but we are incompetent!"
"It doesn't matter! With more than 200,000 troops, it is necessary to avoid direct confrontation. I am not blaming you."
Zhang Qi waved his hand and asked a group of generals and commanders to stand up. They really couldn't blame them.
"Let's face it head on. We have been preparing for so long and have sophisticated equipment. It's time to let the Han army know that times have changed!"
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
"The general is here!"
"Everyone is on combat readiness, recharge your batteries, and cut down the surrounding trees. Someone will come to help you build rock-throwing equipment. In ten days, we will capture the Han army's camp in one fell swoop!"
"promise!"
"Disband!"
"stand at attention--!"
"salute!"
Bang bang bang——
A neat thumping sound on the chest.
Zhang Qi also stood up straight and hammered his chest.
night.
The Youyi troops who went out to cause trouble came back one after another.
They played happily with the Han army's chariots and cavalry in Juyanze for most of the day. They had an extremely happy time.
On the other hand, look at the Han army.
"Zhongqing, the cavalry has begun to move. Today they harassed our patrol officers and caused more than a thousand casualties. The casualties were minor, but I see that many officers in the camp are a little uneasy. I'm afraid if this continues There will be Howling Camp.”
In the Han army's tent, Gongsun He reported to Wei Qing with his helmet under his arm.
The latter's face was calm, but the corners of his eyes twitched from time to time.
"They came back with help, too fast."
"Form the two elites of you and me into a military governor's army, pass on military laws every day, and let the country warriors work day and night to speed up the construction of the city wall!"
"It can only be the."
Gongsun He sighed.
