Zhaocheng.
Luo Jing left here with some worry. He still knew his uncle very well. This conversation showed that his uncle was not optimistic about the actions of the Han army, but he also believed that the actions of the Han army were necessary. This made Luo Jing very happy. It's worry.
The fastest way to accumulate war experience is through the tempering of blood and fire. This is how Han Xin trained his troops on the battlefield. No matter how new a soldier has been through several wars, he is used to blood and swords and the life on the battlefield. With death, he has become an experienced veteran.
As Luo Jing left Zhaocheng and returned to Chang'an, someone else came to Luo Ling's quiet room. As soon as he sat down, he asked: "Father, A Jing must have come here to ask about the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. What is the needs of the family?" What are you doing to prepare?
If the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is inseparable from the efforts of the fourth uncle, and is inseparable from the family, do we really want to watch it?
Besides, if the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs? "
When the nest is overturned, there are no eggs left!
The Luo family's Duke Zhao Kingdom is now able to remain independent from the world, all because it is within the Zhuxia. If the Zhuxias did not exist, how could the Luo family have its current status? If the civil war can still hang high and sit back and watch the storm, Invincible, but foreign wars, especially such national wars, cannot truly sit idly by.
This is Luo's responsibility!
Luo Ling pondered for a moment after hearing this. He had taken the initiative to go to the grassland back then, and he would harm the Huns even at the cost of his family's heritage. Now that someone in the family is asking this question, it is obvious that he wants to help the Han army.
Luo Ling said nothing, and everyone sat quietly.
Luo Ling looked up at the sky again. He could feel that King Su had completely woken up, and then he heard a sentence coming from somewhere in the sky, "Aling, do what you want."
Luo Ling was shocked when he heard this, and then nodded to indicate that he understood.
Looking at the people in front of him, he slowly said: "I am over a hundred years old. Except for those legendary long-lived people in ancient times, no one has lived longer than me. But the limit of human beings is here. Before I leave, I will Go to the grassland again and watch some Han troops. The rest of the family can stay in Zhaocheng.
The casualties during the national war were very heavy. The power of the family is an important force in maintaining a bright world and suppressing the coming of darkness. It cannot be damaged easily. If the suppression of the family is lost, once the internal strife breaks out in the country, the consequences will be far greater than Losses caused by foreign enemies.
Always remember that the real enemy of Zhuxia is not the external enemy, but the wolves within. Zhuxia who unite as one can defeat everything, but if they fall into the abyss of civil war, they will be vulnerable. "
"Here!"
…
A strong wind roared past, kicking up a burst of dust. On the grassland, there was no human habitation for thousands of miles. Many people could not even tell the direction, especially the people from the Central Plains. Many people got lost when they came here, so they basically had to rely on the local area. Only the herdsmen can show the way.
"The vastness of the grassland is really unimaginable. In the past, Marquis Wumu of Huaiyin said that without elite cavalry, the army could not go out to fight in the fortress. It was really true."
Zhou Yafu looked at the endless grassland and the endless stream of Han soldiers. Countless horses and chariots were advancing rapidly under his orders. Recalling what he had encountered during the days outside the fortress, Senhan said: "Introduce the bow." The people come and go like the wind. If the army goes directly out of the fortress, the Huns will cut off the food route.
But if a large army is sent to protect the food road, the cost is extremely high. In order to provide food for one person, ten people's food must be eaten.
No wonder King Luowen and Emperor Xiaowen were unwilling to fight the Huns.
The prime minister did not come to the grassland. He might have thought that the cost of the grassland war was similar to that of the junior high school. If he saw this scene, could the junior high school really sustain such a cost? "
The deputy general heard the words and said: "The Han Dynasty has been prosperous for decades, and the national treasury is richer than ever. The prime minister naturally dares to boast about Haikou. That means there is no problem. This is a good time for you to make achievements. A great general like Wu Muhou of Huaiyin." , all because of the lack of national strength of the Han Dynasty, it was unable to gallop on the grassland and raise its whip. I am congratulating the king."
The solemn look on Zhou Yafu's face slightly dissipated, "It's time to celebrate. At such an old age, I can still get the opportunity to command an army. Advance at full speed and release the scouts. I will learn the tactics of Huaiyin Wu Muhou and guard the mountains. Qiu awaits the arrival of the Xiongnu army."
This was Zhou Yafu's strategy. Of course he knew that the Han army would not be able to catch up with the Huns, and they would not even be able to see the Huns, unless they directly raided the Huns' lair, but that would be no different from committing suicide, even if it failed. , there is no escape.
Zhou Yafu himself didn't care if he returned wrapped in horse leather. He had his own pride, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who followed him out of the country couldn't afford the loss. If something went wrong, he would be sorry for Emperor Xiaowen's entrustment. To people of this era, this is unacceptable.
"General! The scouts discovered the traces of the main force of the Huns!"
Zhou Yafu asked in disbelief: "What? The main force of the Huns? Why did the main force of the Huns appear here?"
The Han army unexpectedly encountered the main force of the Huns!
Moreover, the royal army led by the Xiongnu Qilian Chanyu was the most elite army of the Xiongnu, wearing armor obtained from Central Asia.
In real history, the Huns' armor at the beginning was even better than that of the Han Dynasty.
This is a bit of trivia. Many people believe that the Tang Dynasty spread technology, which then led to the rise of nomads. Objectively speaking, the Tang Dynasty did spread some technologies, but given the Tang Dynasty’s national policy of trying to build a world empire, It is normal behavior, and it is not only the Tang Dynasty that has technology and civilization. Both the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire have brilliant civilization and technology.
When talking about barbarians, they mean that they are backward in civilization and technology. But the problem is that although the Huns are backward in technology, they can rob them. If they rob the advanced ones, they will become advanced.
Historically, it was not until the Han Dynasty communicated with the Western Regions and obtained better forging methods that it completely surpassed the Xiongnu. However, the world is different. Under the protection of the Luo family, the Mohist family did not decline as much. The decline between the Qin and Han Dynasties Although the war also caused a decrease in population, the inheritance was preserved. The current forging method of the Han Dynasty was not weaker than that of Central Asia, and the output was much higher than that of the Xiongnu.
"Stop the advance! Arrange the chariots!"
Zhou Yafu no longer cares about why the main force of the Huns appears here. He must immediately prepare to meet the enemy and must not give the Huns any chance to disrupt their formation.
Qilian Shanyu also did not expect to encounter the main force of the Han army, but he reacted immediately and laughed loudly: "The main force of the Han army left its own route, which means that they are going to reinforce the Han army that was alone, leaving behind Some of the troops watched them, while the rest followed the Chanyu to defeat the lone Han army."
Qilian Chanyu was not prepared to fight Zhou Yafu. He still wanted to follow his previous plan, using more to defeat fewer Han troops, first defeating the lone Han army, and finally gathering all the Xiongnu tribes to fight the main force of the Han army.
Highlight a stable tactical victory!
Zhou Yafu looked at the Huns army leaving like a gust of wind, his face a little gloomy. The Huns were more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
"The number of horses of the Han Dynasty is not enough, we need more war horses!"
Zhou Yafu hit the chariot hard and said harshly.
…
"kill!"
There are countless small hills with extremely gentle slopes on the grassland. This Han army was stationed on these small hills. Countless shouts of killing came from the distance. From a distance, countless Huns were riding on their horses and firing continuously. As the battle continued, blood filled the battlefield, with corpses everywhere, a scene of hell on earth.
"General, if there are no reinforcements, we will die when the bows and crossbows are exhausted."
Hearing the words of the deputy general, Ruyin Hou's face was a little ugly. How could he not know it, but the situation was like this, there was no other way, "We must hold our position. As long as the general comes here, we will be able to escape." The general has been friends with my family for decades, and they have been friends since my father's generation and even my grandfather's, so it is impossible for me to ignore him in the face of death."
At this time, he should be extremely lucky that he led the Liangjiazi to the battle. These people have a strong will to fight and will not give in to the wind. If the Liangjiazi leads an army of criminals or bad guys to the battle after the battle, once the wind goes against them, it will really be against each other. Comparing who surrenders faster, and who has no lower limit.
"General, what if the general can't come?"
It’s not that I won’t come, it’s that I’m too late. Who knows what will happen in this vast desert.
What I actually want to ask is, if that time comes, should we surrender?
But in fact, this is not a problem at all. Unless they are too greedy for life and afraid of death, for descendants of the founder of the country like Ruyin Hou, dying in battle is their only choice.
The things that the Liu family gave them were so rich. The feudal state that had been inherited for sixty or seventy years was almost the emperor of the feudal state. In this era, the only way to repay such a heavy favor was with one's life.
Luo Xin worked hard because of the relationship between Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying, but he assisted Liu Heng because he wanted to repay Liu Ying's trust in him.
This is the fashion and morality of the entire society!
If Marquis Ruyin dares to surrender, the only outcome will be to eliminate the country and then the entire family will be exiled. This is impossible to accept.
That’s a closed country!
In another twenty or thirty years, there will be a century-old feudal state with statues of ancestors of all generations and so many honors bestowed upon the family by the emperor. If we lose this life because of cherishing it, how can we have the dignity to meet our ancestors? Zong?
"If we can't come, we have no choice but to fight to the death and die for our country!"
Although he was extremely afraid of death, Ruyin Hou still gritted his teeth and said: "The Xiahou family is deeply favored by the emperor. If they are defeated, they will never surrender. Only by dying for the country can they repay the fault of the defeat. Your Majesty will definitely remember that I am heroic here, and Take care of your family."
————
The above said: All the honors in the early Han Dynasty were light on life and death, but heavy on promises. Why?
The ministers said to each other: "The Han Dynasty is majestic, and its kindness is as heavy as the sky. If you don't repay it, it's not enough for a human being. Therefore, you care about life and value righteousness."
He said: Of course, I will follow suit. ——"Hundred Treatises on Remonstrances Between Monarchs and Ministers"
