In fact, from the very beginning, Lu Zheda adhered to the mentality of giving it a try, and then sent people to persuade Tian Jiao and Wei Man, who stayed with the Xiongnu and other Hu people.

Tian Jiao and Wei Man accept persuasion to surrender is naturally an excellent thing, and their combined strength can also have more than 100,000 troops, although it is not clear how much trouble these more than 100,000 can cause to the Huns and other Hu people, but it is a pleasant thing to be able to block the Huns and other Hu people.

What if Tian Jiao and Wei Man don't surrender? At present, Lu Zhe's army moving westward is close to 500,000, of which the number of cavalry is 170,000, and the number of infantry troops is also about 300,000.

Since its rise, it may be that he has relied on hard power to promote openness too many times, and Lu Zhe does not care so much about the strategies that are auxiliary to occupy in addition to paying attention to the necessary overall strategy. Lu Zhe may not have noticed this point, and even the generals or ministers on the Han side also ignored it.

The current grand strategy is to go all the way to the cavalry to cut off the road between the Hu people and the Yin Mountain entering Qindi, and the rest of the infantry army is approaching those enemy troops in Qindi.

In recent times, the military information fed back by all walks of life has shown that there is no fork, which means that the armies of all walks of life are moving smoothly, so whether the Xiongnu continue to retreat south or north, it is not so important, at most it is just to change the field of battle, and the general direction has not changed much.

"According to the direction we deduced, the Xiongnu retreated to the north because Tian Jiao or Wei Man's side did not succeed in persuading them to surrender, or neither side succeeded in persuading them to surrender," Kuai Tong glanced at all the colleagues present, and finally looked at Lu Zhe, who was sitting on the main seat: "The Xiongnu and other Hu people will inevitably take the line of Yinshan when they retreat north. ”

Lu Zhe bowed his head: "Even if there is a delay in the news, the news of the frequent attacks on the back road should be sent to the hands of the head man, and he must now know that there is news of our army's activities on the back road." ”

"Exactly." Kuaitong continued: "The large force of our cavalry is sweeping through the area in the clouds, and only a small number of light rangers have broken through to the south of Yinshan and Shangjun. There are quite a few enemy troops on the Yinshan side, including in the territory of Shangjun, who have intercepted the transportation to the north, and Touman must know even if he is slow to react. He paused, and walked to the shelf where the map of the mountains and rivers of Shangjun was hung: "The position of the quilt from the direction of Dingyang," he pointed to a location marked as a desert area, "This is a large desert," there is a large desert area near Yuzhong, even in modern times, and to the east are the sections of the old Great Wall built by the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and now those old Great Walls have been abandoned: "We judge." The most likely route for Touman to take is along Luoshui and then through Yangzhou and along the plains of the region towards Fushi. ”

Yuzhong is now an area that has not been greatly developed, but from Xianyang to the north, the first emperor ordered the construction of a straight road during his lifetime.

The Qin State built the straight road to serve the Great Wall Army's imminent northern expedition to the grassland, and at that time it seems that not long after Lu Zhe crossed over, he himself also participated in supervising the construction of the straight road.

"The straight road is along Xianyang all the way to the north, and there are many smaller straight roads connected to various points in the north, such as Gaonu, Yangzhou, and Fushi," Lu Zhe recalled. Then he continued: "According to the news from the Qin State, the route chosen by the Hu people to escort the spoils back to the grassland is the straight road. If they want to quickly return to the grassland near Yinshan, walking the straight road is the most convenient and time-saving option. ”

Kuaitong kept nodding: "So." Only a small part of our infantry army raised more flags to make the illusion of moving in the direction of Dingyang, but in fact, the army was heading towards the second material storage point set up by the Hu people in Shangjun, that is, Fushi. ”

According to repeated deductions, if the Hu people retreated to pursue the Qin and Han troops on the Dingyang line. The westward Han army will naturally uproot the key points set up by the enemy army in the north one after another, and if the Hu people are not fooled and retreat, the Han army will change its direction and directly hold the retreat route that several enemy troops are most likely to choose.

Up to now. The cavalry with high-speed mobility has basically entered the position where it should be, but the infantry army is a little behind in the distance, and they need to make appropriate adjustments according to the actual situation, and the worst case is to let the cavalry give up the attack and go directly to block the main road. In general, even if something happens, there are almost always prepared plans that can be replaced, and it is not much worse. This is why Lu Zhe doesn't seem to have any tension here, on the contrary, it seems to be more relaxed.

Isn't that the advanced nature of civilization? When the advanced nature of a civilization is used in warfare, it is necessary to concentrate some staff personnel to envision all possible situations and provide a response plan for those situations, so that no matter what the situation encounters, it can be changed with the fastest and most appropriate response. As for whether the correct response plan has the desired effect, it depends on the ability of the plan implementer.

Lu Zhe brought a lot of things to this era, some convenient tools in life, the improvement of industry and the emergence of some engineering equipment, and things used in people's livelihood may take a long time to show their effects, but many military affairs can play their due role in the fastest and shortest time.

The construction of cavalry has surpassed more than 1,000 years, and the cavalry that appeared more than 1,000 years later with stirrups and horseshoes appeared in today's era, and the cavalry of the Han army equipped with stirrups and horseshoes continued to run long distances and then swept, speeding up the pace of war.

In addition to the changes in cavalry, Lu Zhe also brought a staff system that would only appear in modern times to this era.

Don't underestimate the emergence of the staff system, the so-called one person is short and the other is long, and before the matter happens, the possible situation will be consulted and deduced, so how much opportunity should be taken? At the same time, once there is a plan to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, in such an era when there is no radio, how much difference does it need to say between an army that understands what to do when it encounters a situation, and an army that does not know what to do when it encounters a sudden change and does not get orders?

Barbarism can defeat civilization in many cases, but that is the civilization itself has entered the "fork in the road", to put it bluntly, the side of civilization is to play itself to death to a certain extent, otherwise how can the all-round backward barbarism defeat the civilization that is ahead of itself in terms of culture, productivity, system, and so on?

There is no internal friction in the Han Kingdom now, Lu Zhe's ambitions are boundless, and a group of new vested interests are still the kind of "historical layer" that is "vigorous...... Well, to put it bluntly, any rising open group, as long as they do not stop falling into internal friction on their own, the strength they show must be the most powerful moment.

Lu Zhe, who controls this group, has an overall picture that is not comparable to that of the "native", he straightens out what the world is like, unlike the "native", for various reasons, even if he has a wide vision, he has limitations.

With Lu Zhe's "foresight", once he made up his mind to do something, and with his abundant resources and material resources, he was destined to make calculations about who to target, and the Xiongnu were destined to not be much better.

Did the Xiongnu people notice the movements of the Han army? There is no doubt that the Huns and other Hu people who have a little direction already know that the Han army is approaching, and they must send scouts to constantly reconnoiter in the surrounding area, and as long as the army marches on the premise that the local intention is to explore, there is almost no possibility of covering up the whereabouts, after all, the reason why the army is an army is that a large number of individuals form a collective, and how can they hide from the cat when there are many people?

"Damn, there are indeed a large number of Han troops approaching in the east, and there is also news from the north that our convoys frequently encounter Han cavalry." There was some anger in his tone, but it was far from the point of being angry. He glanced at the various tribal leaders in the tent: "The Han army is approaching, and after we retreated north, the Qin army also turned around and followed up, and now it is time to decide whether to act according to Maodun's Jianyì." ”

As soon as the voice fell, at that moment, the leaders of the various tribes were "chirp wow", everyone was expressing their opinions, and the result was that no one could hear who was talking under a large number of voices.

"Quiet!" Pointing to the leader of the Aries tribe: "Sakati-Uyngyrar (translated as filial piety settlement), you come!" ”

The Xiongnu do not have any system of swaying the virtuous king, it is a very pure tribal union model, and the population of the Aries tribe on the grassland is ranked at the middle and high levels, but the leader of the Aries tribe has always belonged to the smarter group.

"Is there any objection to the opinion that the prince of Maodun gave up some of the spoils of war and let some people from small tribes and the two armies of Qi Yan continue to retreat north?" Ruo Xili first asked such a sentence, and when he saw that no one objected, he continued: "Let them attract the attention of the enemy army as young children, and the main combat force will suddenly break westward, and cross that plain by the line of Beidi County of the Qin State, this plan has a strong operational ......", he stopped as he spoke, and was slightly suspicious: "But if I remember correctly, there is a very wide river, and after crossing the river, except for the extremely narrow road, there are desert areas on both sides, once the enemy detects our movements, With an ambush set up over there beforehand, can we turn around and take another route? ”

The route that Maudon refers to is the modern Ningxia region...... (To be continued......)
