Chapter 47: Ho's
Of course, you also have to plan well, first try to pull Badun to run a lap, see how determined he is, he has already laid a trap, this time if he is not fully prepared, Badun will not be so easy to be fooled, after all, Badun is also famous in Donghu, Liaoxi, otherwise he would not be promoted as Wuhuan Xindanyu.
Gongsun Zhan was ready to run far away this time, towards the north of the desert where it was already snowing, to see if Badun really had the courage to chase down, and Bandun might think that there was a trap in the south, but the north was not the Han realm, it was a desert grassland, and it was the territory of the Donghu people.
If these Han troops can be forced to the north, Badun believes that in his own home field in the grassland, he will finally be able to catch these hateful Han people, he has a heart to fight at this time, and he also has the secret mind of consuming the elite of various tribes.
More importantly, in that Han army, Gongsun Zhan, who was very famous in Liaodong, was among them, and if he could be solved, the dilemma faced by Bang Dun would naturally be lifted.
Therefore, even though he understood that his trip might be dangerous, he did not hesitate to personally lead the team, and after several rages by the Han army, the storm of fire demons on the grassland swept again.
At this time, all the tribes are very afraid, this is an opportunity, a real chance to sit on the black Huan Danyu, as long as there is a victory, Badun can lead the people to suppress those different voices in the tribe.
The tribe is now unstable, Qiu Liju died too quickly, and the transfer of power was not done at all, if it wasn't for the fact that Badun contacted Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou at that time, he would not have been promoted to Shan Yu, even if it was nominally, now the various tribes in Wuhuan are fighting very seriously, and Badun's own power is not strong, after he leaves, his tribe is likely to be in danger, maybe it will be annexed by someone, but these are all trivial matters compared to capturing Gongsun Zhan.
As long as you capture Gongsun Chan and return to the division by yourself, the territory will be able to settle down. And after eliminating the deadly threat from the Han army, Bundun was able to truly free up his hands to integrate the Wuhuan tribe and stride towards his ideal of the Great Wuhuan.
Therefore, after receiving the news of Gongsun Zhan's whereabouts, Bunton judged that the Han army was tired and was afraid that he would not be able to fight anymore, so he almost immediately made up his mind to fight.
His decision was definitely not made out of anger at the slaughter of his own people, but after careful consideration, and the goal was very clear, that is, to win the next battle at any cost.
Trained carrier pigeons can also fly at night, this ancient skill, now carried forward by the Han people, pigeons can only return to the nest, can not accurately find the target person, but the golden eagle can, specially selected golden eagle, after breeding, just a few months, has been enough to use.
After nightfall, Gongsun Chan finally waited for the message that only made him anxious, and the detective cavalry judged that the speed of the Wuhuan cavalry was not fast, which was similar to the speed of Gongsun Zhan's march at this time.
Of course, this may also be a smokescreen deliberately released by Bun Dun to paralyze Gongsun Zhan, and how to judge and choose depends on Gongsun Zhan's own decision.
The existing information can be calculated, in the process of pursuit, it is impossible to move forward at full speed, at full speed, the species of this world is slightly stronger, but the war horse can only run for an hour and must rest, and with the ordinary speed, the war horse can gallop for three or four hours in a row, and then after resting and feeding, it can run again for three or four hours, so that it can run for three days, and then it has to be cultivated for a period of time.
This is a way of running day and night, if you just run during the day and rest at night, then as long as there is enough forage, it is not much of a problem to run for a month.
Nowadays, the horses of the Han army are all selected from the best horses, all of which are grabbed, and now they are basically one person and two horses, and the elite of the heavy riding is one person and three horses, because the heavy riding needs to carry heavier materials, although the heavy horses are the best of the best.
Compared with light horses, heavy horses carry more than multiple weights of weapons, because war horses also have armor, in general, compared with the leather armor of light horses, heavy horses are five times that of light horses, protection, weight, impact and other aspects.
Now the horsepower is sufficient, in this case, the two horses take turns to gallop at eighty percent speed, and change horses when they are tired, so that they can increase some speed, but one day or two is okay, and if it continues, the state of the war horse will seriously decline, so it is best not to use too high speed for a long time in the chase battle.
The speed of Bang Dun and Gongsun Zhan is not much different, after all, behind Bang Dun is the Wuhuan tribe, and on the war horse, it is originally more than the Han army.
This is also the advantage of the grassland tribes, in the past dynasties, the trade of the grassland to the Central Plains, the war horse has always been the top priority, so the Han people also established pastures in Longxi and other places to herd horses, but all aspects are not as good as the horses on the grassland.
Since the grassland is the home of Bunton, it is more convenient to get supplies, so Bunton uses a tactic of forcing and pursuing, pulling a net in a certain direction to sprint and chase in turns, forcing Gongsun Chan in a certain direction, so that Gongsun Chan can cut off the supply of grain and grass, unable to stop and effectively repair, and finally in the case of running out of ammunition and food, he will either turn back and fight back desperately, or finally be chased to the point where he has no power to resist and be annihilated.
Those who don't understand cavalry warfare on the grassland will not know that this is the real wolf pack tactics, and chasing the enemy to death is the essence of wolf pack tactics.
After fully calculating the speed of Badun's pursuit, Gongsun Chan quickly understood the tactics that Badun could use, and after careful consideration, Gongsun Chan decided to bet with Badun to see who was chased to death in the end.
The key reason for Gongsun Chan's determination lies in time, it is already late autumn, and in half a month, there may be heavy snow on the Saibei grassland, and in the more north, it should have begun to snow, once Gongsun Chan passes through the desert, on the Mobei grassland, Bandun will fall into the same situation as Gongsun Chan without supplies, and when the time comes, the number of troops is a burden.
Even if Gongsun Chan has such a decision, but just in case, Gongsun Chan also needs to set aside another backhand, so that when the situation is critical, it can be the last straw, whether it is a life-saving straw or the straw that crushes the opponent.
And this is also what Yang Yi meant, he has already asked Zhang He to lead the men and horses and sufficient supplies to the place where the ambush is ready, because the families in Youzhou who are preparing for turmoil at this time are already ready to launch.
Let Zhang He lead the good family to the north first, at this time, the turmoil on the grassland will also isolate the transmission of news, and some of the Han troops that may be unstable have been exchanged, and when they reach the grassland, they can only fight for the country and for themselves.
It's much better than falling into the turmoil set off by those warriors, Zhang He knows it, he has already made a choice at this time, this famous general who has left many legends in history, naturally understands how he should choose.
He saw it more clearly than the trial and others, you must know that in the original history, the trial and the others basically perished with Yuan Shao, and he lived to the end, and died on the battlefield decades later, which is also the best destination for a military general.
He not only relied on his own family power, but also his ability and wisdom were outstanding, his family background was only second-rate in Jizhou, and now he was forced by the Yellow Turban and could only migrate north.
Because of the inspection system, there are so many ways for each county to rise in the inspection system, and the local scholars will definitely not welcome foreign cross-river dragons, not to mention that the Zhang family is not considered to be cross-river dragons.
……
"Your Highness, the people behind these scholars have been found out."
With the current power of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, although it has been less than a year since it arrived in the north, all aspects should also see the ability and strength of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
It is impossible for these scholars themselves to have the determination to resolutely rebel, especially after some of the scholars clearly expressed their opposition, which is no better than the original historical facts, where the Yellow Turbans were trapped in one place, and almost all the four states of Hebei, You, Qing, and even Xu and Jing had bad intentions.
Now, because the Eldest Princess's Mansion guards the northern border, especially the various counties in northern Hebei, which have been controlled by the Eldest Princess's Mansion, how can the powerful clans of You, Hebei, and Sanzhou dare to rebel again?
There must be someone behind this, and during this time, spy personnel have been dispatched to find out, and finally found the head of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, as well as the general He Jin who colluded with the Yuan family.
Yang Yi is not surprised, now the two sides also have irreconcilable contradictions, at the beginning in Luoyi, he offended He Jin and He Hou behind him, and He Hou colluded with each other Zhao Zhong was slapped to death by Yang Yi, cutting off a big arm of the He family in the palace.
Wang Yun, who controlled the He clan in Yuzhou for He Jin, was openly humiliated by Yang Yi, and Wang Yun was even stabbed to death by assassins soon after, and He Jin's power was greatly damaged.
He Jin is very capable, and even if he didn't encounter a world of great controversy, it would not be impossible to become a generation of powerful ministers, and if he grasped it well, it was not impossible to even achieve Wang Mang's feats.
He Jin's path is also very similar to Wang Mang, at this time, his voice is still very good in all aspects, because he is friendly with the scholars who have the right to speak, and there are many people who praise him.
This can be clearly seen in the historical facts:
In March of the first year of Zhongping, Yin Hejin of Henan served as a general, and his position as the military head of the Eastern Han Empire was as stable as a rock and lasted until the fifth year of Zhongping.
In July, his successor, Yin Xuguan of Henan, was imprisoned and sentenced to prison for a crime that is not recorded in the history books, and is speculated to be related to the Yellow Turban Army.
After that, Henan Yin is Li Xie, two years later, Li Xie died in office, the successor is a kind of so, after a kind of what he entered the table He Miao, this is the second two thousand stone officials of the He family, and these two thousand stones are still Henan Yin.
Henan Yin, since the unification of Qin began to implement the county system, divided into 36 counties in the world, in Luoyi Sanchuan County, in the early Han Dynasty, once the capital Luoyi, the early Han Dynasty, changed Qin Sanchuan County to Henan County, and along the Qin system of Henan, Luoyang two counties, belongs to Henan County, the county governs Luoyang, when Emperor Wu, placed the thirteen states in the world, Henan belongs to the Division, Jianwu fifteen years to change Henan County to Henan Yin, and placed the Sili school captain.
The rank of the lieutenant of the division was 2,000 stones, and later changed to more than 2,000 stones, and the subordinate officials were engaged in, false, etc., and led by 1,200 officials and apprentices in the capital.
This is already equivalent to grasping the inside and outside of the capital, in February of the fourth year of Zhongping, a rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army broke out in Yin Xingyang County, Sili Henan, Zhongmu County ordered Luo Hao and the lord Bo Panye to die in battle, He Miao, who was then Yin of Henan, led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, and the imperial court sent Shi Huandian to serve as an envoy to supervise the army.
After He Miao pacified the Xingyang Yellow Turban Army, Liu Hong sent an envoy to the Chenggao County Labor Army, worshiped He Miao as the general of the chariot cavalry, and sealed the Marquis of Jiyang, and went further.
Since then, He Jin and He Miao have occupied the first and third positions in the Han military ranks, and the top three military positions in the Han Empire from high to low are: generals, hussar generals, and chariot generals.
In the fifth year of Zhongping, the national rebellion broke out one after another, and only He Miao, Sun Jian, Lu Kang, Wang Min, and Yang Xu succeeded in quelling the rebellion, and it was still a drop in the bucket for the bad situation in the country.
Dong Chong, the nephew of Emperor Liu Hong's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong, the creation of the "Xiyuan Army" and Dong Chong's role as a hussar general divided He Jin's military power, and at this time, Liu Hong was very vigilant against He Jin, and under the continuous differentiation, He Jin's power declined, and He Jin's staff Yuan Shao became the lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army, and even He Jin had to obey the orders of the military captain Jian Shuo.
So much so that later, Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan sent Zhang Yang to lead the army into Beijing, and it was Jian Shuo who met him, not He Jin.
He Jin was unwilling to be left in power, so he thought of a way, that is, to use the military parade as an excuse to recruit troops from other places into Beijing.
Liu Hong is also not ambiguous, in October, at the peaceful and optimistic military parade ceremony, a large and a small parade platform, Liu Hong is large, He Jin is small, but after the parade, Liu Hong is overwhelmed, and once again handed over all the foreign troops to He Jin.
Because there was nothing to do with Jian Shuo at the parade, Jian Shuo also saw the crisis, knowing that he was afraid that he was going to lose power at this time, and he didn't want to admit it, so he suggested to Liu Hong with the Zhongchang attendants: Send He Jin to lead the army to crusade against the Liangzhou rebels, and Liu Hong approved it.
How could He Jin agree to leave Luoyang at this time? Knowing that this was Jian Shuo's plan to "divert the tiger from the mountain", He Jin proposed to let Yuan Shao go to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to recruit troops first, and when Yuan Shao came back, he would lead the army to go out again, which was He Jin's "plan to delay the army".
Liu Hong also saw the clues, ignoring He Jin, in November, sent the left general Huangfu Song and the former general Dong Zhuo to lead the army to Chencang to crusade against the Liangzhou rebels, in February of the following year, the Liangzhou rebels were defeated and retreated, and there was nothing to do with He Jin behind.
On April 11, the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong died in the Jiade Hall of Nangong, and the edict was entrusted to Jian Shuo, and he did not let He Jin take care of the minister, why is this, because he wanted to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty, and did not give He Jin the opportunity and name to usurp the throne.
At this time, there were rumors that Liu Hong did not like his eldest son Liu Wei before his death, but liked Liu Xie, so he hoped to make Liu Xie the crown prince, but because the He family's strength in the court was too strong, so it was delayed for a long time.
Thus, to a certain extent, it is determined that the content of Liu Hong's edict is: let Jian Shuo support Liu Xie to ascend the throne.
In fact, Liu Hong just entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo, that's all, Wang Mang's experience from the past, Liu Hong is not stupid, he pulled and beat He Jin, several temptations, has seen that He Jin's ability is limited, at most he will become a minister, it is impossible to become Wang Mang, let He Jin help Liu Bian, and wait for Liu Bian to grow up, He will also decline, there is no need to worry, the rule of the Han Dynasty is basically continued in this way.
