Section 572 Battle and Peace (1)

The situation in Yunzhong County at this time is indeed on the bow, and it has to be sent.

The history of decades of exchanges between the Han and the Xiongnu is a history of war.

Since the siege of Pingcheng, the Xiongnu have grasped the strategic initiative, and they can fight if they want to, and make peace if they want to.

However, this does not mean that the Han army does not have the ability to fight back.

Immediately after the siege of Pingcheng, the Han army won decisive victories in the battles of Dongyuan and Mayi, completely sweeping away the forces of Chen Ene and Han Xin, and cutting off the claws of the Xiongnu reaching out to China.

That's why there is a friendly policy.

It should be pointed out that the so-called siege of Pingcheng was caused by Chen Ping bribing the Yan clan of Mao Dunshan Yu to let the Han army break the siege, which is a bug in itself.

Maudun, who is it?

The greatest leader in the history of the Huns, there is no one!

He single-handedly transformed the Xiongnu from a small tribe that survived in the shadow of the Donghu and Yue clans to the first hegemon in East Asia.

For the sake of his own goals and ideas, Mao Dun even killed his father!

As for women......

Hehe......

At the beginning, the Donghu people first asked Mao Dun for a good horse, and then asked Mao Dun for his wife, and he gave it all.

When the Donghu people asked for land, Mao Dun couldn't bear it anymore.

Such a male lord will be persuaded by the so-called beauty?

This in itself is a big joke.

Moreover, there is a huge bug in the siege of Pingcheng recorded in the historical records: Chen Ping saw Mao Dun with a beauty walking in front of the army on Baishan Mountain, and the two were extremely affectionate. This was the plan to bribe the Ran clan of Mao Dun......

All right......

If this is not the plot of YY's novel, then it must be that the IQ of both Han and Hungary has dropped to an outrageous level......

Dare to take a walk in front of the Han army in formation?

How much courage should this mortar have, or rather. How unsure of life and death!

Not to mention murder weapons such as bed crossbows, they are ordinary bow crossbows. It should also be able to threaten Mao Dun - you know, even Chen Ping on Bai Mountain, can clearly see Mao Dun and his woman walking in front of the formation. This means that, in fact, Maudun should have been within range of the crossbow at the front!

Another description of the siege of Pingcheng recorded in the historical records is broken, the so-called Chen Ping's bribery of Mao Dun Yan is actually made up by Taishi Gong - the entire siege of Pingcheng, from the siege to the Han army's liberation, before and after only seven days.

Seven days. In any case, it is impossible to complete the so-called Chen Ping saw Mao Dun and his Lang Lang on Baishan Mountain, and then like glue, and then negotiated a plan to bribe Mao Dun's Lang.

Time is completely insufficient!

Again, this is not playing an RPG game.

With a click of the mouse, Chen Ping, an NPC, can overcome all obstacles and reach the goal of the mission.

No matter how awesome Chen Ping is, it is impossible to find out the preferences of that Yan clan in just seven days. It is even more impossible to go to the core of the Maudun army in such a short period of time through the array of the two armies, and you can still see the Yan clan who was so badly damaged by Maudun's baby.

And the fact is that the siege of Baiden was lifted. There is no so-called intercession of the Yan clan at all, but the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived.

The elite of the Han army commanded by Taiwei Zhou Bo. After the Battle of Rock, he turned around and eliminated the army that the Xiongnu had placed in Loufu. Cut off the return route of the Hun cavalry.

If you open the map of the Battle of Heijo at that time, you can easily find it. Mao Dun surrounded the main force of the Han army's chariot cavalry at Baishan Mountain in Pingcheng, including Liu Bang, Fan Xu, and Guan Ying.

However, before the Battle of Pingcheng, the Han army had cleared the Xiongnu stronghold north of the rock.

Otherwise, Maudun would not have set up a siege on the city.

He can go straight to Taiyuan and cut off the return route of the Han army.

And the fact is: the main force of the Han army led by Taiwei Zhou Bo, after the victory in the Battle of Panshi, was ordered to divide the troops and attack the three cities of Loufu.

This is equivalent to the battle of Guandu in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao burned a copy of Yuan Shao's nest.

The historical record "Jianghou Zhou Bo Family" records Zhou Bo's movements before and after the siege of Pingcheng: attacking Han Xinjun's copper and breaking it. Also, descend to the six cities of Taiyuan. Hit Han Xin Hu rode under Jinyang, broke it, and went down to Jinyang. After attacking Han Xin's army in the stone, breaking it, chasing eighty miles north. Also attack the building to annoy the three cities, because of the attack Hu cavalry under the city, the generals should gallop to the road. Bo Qian became a lieutenant.

As long as you look here, you can understand that in fact, the battle of Pingcheng between the Han and the Huns was a draw, and even the Han army won a slight victory.

Although Mao Dun surrounded Liu Bang, Zhou Bo also surrounded Mao Dun.

The ironclad evidence is that after the siege of Pingcheng, the actions of the Han army did not stop or retreat, but continued to move north.

Liu Bang's brother, Xiahou Ying, who was the servant at the time, continued to fight against the Xiongnu in the siege of Pingcheng. The ether servant attacked Hu Qiping in the south of the city, and trapped Chen three times, and the merit was many"

From this point of view, the Han army had achieved its strategic intention - that is, to destroy the rebels and cut off the claws of the Xiongnu reaching for China.

However, in the siege of Pingcheng, the Han army also suffered heavy losses.

Although there were very few actual casualties, the brutal winter in the north dealt a heavy blow to the Han army, which was mainly southerners at the time.

Seven days after being besieged, the proportion of Han soldiers and frostbite patients reached as much as two or three percent, and a large number of soldiers had their fingers amputated due to frostbite.

Moreover, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the world withered, the economy was in difficulty, and the nascent Han regime did not have the ability to organize a large-scale foreign war like Pingcheng again.

Therefore, negotiation and peace have become a choice.

And the Huns, also in the war, knew that the Han army was not easy to mess with.

In addition, a fire broke out in the backyard, and the Yueshi people began to provoke, so they could only go home to extinguish the fire.

Thus, the policy of harmony was born.

However, after the introduction of the peace policy, not to mention the Huns, even the Han Dynasty itself used it as a rag.

As soon as the first peace was reached, the Han army launched the Battle of Mayi and completely annihilated the remnants of Han Wangxin entrenched in Mayi.

Until Liu Bang's death, there was no second large-scale war between Han and Hungary.

If the Han army suffered a big loss in Pingcheng, even, as long as they did not take advantage of the nomadic urine, they would have watched Han Xin, Chen Ene, and Lu Juan fail with their character of not remembering to eat. And not to mix and kick?

Let's take a look at how the Northern Song Dynasty was beaten by the Khitans in front of the Tanyuan Alliance.

Look again at the time before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. Let's have a few peace talks with the Jurchens!

I really want to think that a friendly policy can tie the feet of the Huns. Then you can only say that you are too naïve.

After Liu Bang's death, Han-Hungarian relations entered a new era.

The Han Dynasty is of course talking about the shame of Pingcheng and the humiliation of Empress Lu every day.

Can the Huns be better off there?

The only big man in the United Kingdom who can wrestle with himself is there, and if he doesn't weigh the strength of the other party, how can the Huns be willing?

So the two sides kept going back and forth, repeatedly tempting.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, there were three large-scale wars between Han and Hungary.

Two of them. It was the Huns who took the initiative to provoke it.

But another time was provoked by the Han army on its own initiative.

This is the battle of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen in the summer and May of the third year to recover Henan.

This war has left very little ink in history.

However, anyone who studies the history of Han and Hungary will not let go of this war in which Han and Hungarian relations entered the stage of mutual recognition.

Before the Battle of Henan, the Xiongnu actually ruled Henan together with the Han Dynasty.

This Henan, of course, does not refer to the current Henan County, but the vast area south of the Yellow River, especially the area south of Beidi County.

In the summer and May of the third year of Emperor Taizong's filial piety, through a perfect political performance, he expelled the old faction led by Zhou Bo. Emperor Taizong, who was in great power, decided to launch the Henan Campaign to completely sweep away the Xiongnu's influence in China and cut off their influence on China's internal affairs.

So he sent his troops to ride 85,000 slaves. Send Prime Minister Ying Yin to fill the baby to fight the Huns'

This was the first time after the Battle of Pingcheng that the Han army took the initiative to launch a large-scale attack on the Xiongnu.

This war was won by a great victory.

The infant irrigation completely expelled the Huns from the Great Wall. Recovered all the lands and cities that had been invaded by the Xiongnu.

If it weren't for the critical moment, Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, rebelled. forced the main force of the Han army to return to defense.

Otherwise, Emperor Taizong wanted to drive the expedition in person. Out of the fortress to find the main force of the Huns for a decisive battle!

It was this battle that made the Huns abandon the idea of entering the Central Plains, and adjusted from the south to the west, and then, Lao Shangdan Yu began to launch a general attack on the Yueshi and completely defeated it.

The following year, Han and Hungary reached an express contract.

The monarchs of the two countries are about brothers, and they officially recognize each other (north of the Great Wall, the country of the bow, ordered to be single, within the Great Wall, the room of the crown belt, the Han emperor resides, and mutually agrees that the well water does not violate the river water, the Han people go out of the fortress, the Xiongnu can kill them, the Huns enter the fortress, and the Han army kills them).

Without a real victory, without real combat effectiveness, would the Huns reach such an agreement with the Han Dynasty?

Moreover, in the past few decades, apart from those large-scale wars, the friction on the border between Han and Hungary has hardly been broken.

Of course, the Huns were all cavalry, coming and going freely, and often deliberately provocatively invaded and plundered.

But the Han Dynasty was not a soft-footed crab like the Two Song Dynasty, and when they were beaten, they could only cry like a little girl, and they didn't even dare to cry, so they could only admit it.

In this great revanchism prevailed in the Han family.

If you dare to hit me, I will definitely fight back!

Historically, when Li Guang was the punctual of Shanggu County, he often worked with the Huns, and sometimes the Huns did not trouble him, and he would take the initiative to trouble the Huns.

Frightened, Sun Kunxie, the prince of the pawn country, cried and reported: Li Guangcai is unparalleled in the world, and he is afraid of death when he fights with the captives.

So, Liu Che's emperor father transferred Li Guang to the county guard, but Li Guang still tried every possible way to find the Huns to do it.

The famous Li Guang shot the tiger at night and shot the Hun eagle shooter, all of which happened when he was the Taishou of Shangjun.

Li Guangdu is like this.

In the dictionary of Wei Shang, who has dealt with the Huns all his life, there are only four words: Ganru Niangqin!

Before the imperial court's instructions were issued, Wei Shang began to mobilize the county soldiers of Yunzhong County.

When Liu Che's order passed through the gallop and arrived at Yunzhong City, the county capital of Yunzhong County, at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles.

In Cloud City, it has already become a barracks.

In the dictionary of the people in the clouds, there has never been such a thing as being beaten and not fighting back.

This city with a population of less than 30,000 was once besieged by more than 40,000 Hun cavalry, standing tall and killing a hero of a big household on the other side.

When Liu Che's order arrived at Wei Shang's desk, Wei Shang's face was full of excitement after reading the order.

As a soldier, Wei Shang only felt that the young son of heaven who had never met and was only a young man who had only been on the throne was really too hungry for him, no wonder his old friend Uncle Tian, dragging his body in his eighties, still had to die for it.

"Mingfu, how is the holy will?" The generals next to him asked impatiently.

Wei Shang smiled, took the secret decree in his hand, bowed respectfully in the direction of Chang'an, and said: "Your Majesty has an order: those who commit crimes against the Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

There are no more exciting words than that.

Suddenly, the entire Cloud City sounded with the earth-shattering sound of 'Long live'.

"Capture and kill one of my people, and I will take the head of the captive one level to sacrifice the soul of the dead in the sky!" Wei Shang ordered to his subordinates: "Order, Sima of the First Division, order five hundred horsemen, go out of the Great Wall, hunt for the Huns, kill those who see it, kill enough one hundred and fifty people, before you can enter the customs, and Sima will respond!" ”

"No!" The generals agreed with a bang.

"He also ordered the counties to arbitrarily exercise their powers, that is, the county orders and county lieutenants, immediately, stop all trade and private trade activities with the Xiongnu, and all merchant convoys are not allowed to leave the city!"

"No!" Everyone laughed even more.

For the soldiers, it was really difficult for them to understand and did not want to understand why the imperial court was trading with the Huns.

Especially in Yunzhong County, every officer and soldier in Yunzhong County has a blood feud with the Xiongnu.

Almost everyone has relatives and friends who have died at the hands of the Huns.

For them, when they were born, their elders taught them only two things: first, loyalty to the Son of Heaven, and second, hatred of the Huns.

In most people, the second thing takes precedence over the first.

As a result, the Xiongnu tribes in the Hetao area opposite Yunzhong County instantly fell with blood mold.

A Han cavalry, suddenly out of the fortress, attacked a nomadic Xiongnu tribe near the Great Wall, killed all the adult males of the tribe, and then captured the old, weak, sick and disabled, and only released two wounded to report back to the news, saying that this was revenge for the Xiongnu cavalry's attack on the Han border villages.

It's not a big deal.

The tribes that can be squeezed to the foot of the Great Wall to graze their cattle must not be big tribes, and they are not even Huns.

They were just vassals of the Huns.

Although he was killed and abducted like this, the faces of the big men above were a little unbearable.

However, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

There are only a few who have died left and right, and there are many unlucky people like this in the decades of war between Han and Hungary and the friction that occurred in the intervals of wars.

Die, die.

Neither the Aries King nor the Hugh Tu King wanted to say anything about this matter.

But then, news came from the border that the Han Dynasty had cut off trade.

This makes the big guys above unable to sit still.

On the one hand, they immediately sent an envoy to Yunzhong City in the Han Dynasty to question Wei Shang, the county guard of Yunzhong County, and on the other hand, they quickly reported to the court.

The main force of the Huns, now in the west.

With the strength of the eastern tribes, let alone fighting, even if it is peace, it is not under their control.

can only let Shan Yu call the shots. (To be continued......)
