Straight man of steel

Chapter 430

“I think it’s safe to go.

Even if we assemble an army of 30, our troops will not have an absolute advantage over the Huns. "

The main force of the Xiongnu is definitely more than 30. Of course, this is when the whole people are fighting in a desperate situation.

If the Huns were really encircled in one place, the tribe of the Huns alone would be able to assemble 50 Huns cavalry who could mount their horses and fight.

They have enough war horses, and they can definitely reach this number by conscripting all young men between the ages of 14 and 40 into the army.

This is why Zhang Yuan has been thinking of avoiding a decisive battle with the Xiongnu before exterminating the rest of the Xiongnu tribes.

Earlier in Gaoque, even if the military ministers buried all 20 troops there, he would be able to gather another hundreds of thousands of troops after returning.

This is the reason why the Han army has always treated the Xiongnu army passively.

Many people feel that the Huns cannot be killed forever.

Mobei will continue to give birth to the Xiongnu army going south to fight the Han army.

Earlier, the military minister just led the army to the south, and he planned to surprise Yuyang County and kill Han Anguo.

When this plan was shattered, the huge army needed food to survive, and the military officials realized that it was impossible to end the battle in a short time, so they moved their tribe southward.

That is to say, there are nearly one million Huns gathered in Tidedang City.

Otherwise, Wei Qing has 15 troops in his hands, and also has [-] cavalry, why didn't he take the initiative to attack the military ministers.

Crowd means chaos.

The Huns didn't know how to manage, which is the fundamental reason why Chu Da was able to spread the news.

Otherwise, in the army, Chu Da was surrounded by Hun cavalry, how could he send out information while ensuring his own safety.

"Okay, I'll only contain the main force of the Huns."

Wei Qing wished he could kill all the Huns in the world at once.

"Don't worry, the days when there will be no royal court in Monan Mobei will not be too far away."

After filling his stomach at Wei Qing's home, Zhang Yuan hurried back to his own home.

The temporary General Wei's Mansion is temporarily set up in the Xin'an Marquis Mansion.

When Zhang Yuan was at Wei Qing's house, Wei Qing sent someone to notify Zhuo Wenjun, asking her to clean up a side hall as General Wei's office.

After Zhang Yuan went back, Zhuo Wenjun had someone clean up.

And a series of officials and soldiers assigned by Liu Che to Zhang Yuan were waiting at the gate of Xin'an Hou Mansion.

This soldier is not the [-] army. It is impossible for a [-] army to enter the city until an important time.

These soldiers are all guards protecting Zhang Yuan.

The one who came to report first was Xue Ren, who was closest to Jianzhang Palace.

"The last general pays his respects to General Wei."

After seeing Zhang Yuan, Xue Ren's face was full of excitement.

"Good boy."

Zhang Yuan patted Xue Ren's shoulder armor, put an arm around his shoulder and pulled him into the side hall.

"What position will General Wei take up this time?"

Since Xue Ren entered Zhang Yuan's General Wei's residence, Zhang Yuan naturally wanted to appoint him an official.

Army Sima still has such an important position as Chang Shi, Liu Che didn't even intervene.

Zhang Yuan commanded an army, and as long as Zhang Yuan did not give an order, there was no need to divide the troops.

"Let's talk about your position with Li Jian, you will be a partial general for the time being.

I'll be of great use when I'm on the battlefield. "

After Xue Ren heard this, he was a little disappointed. He thought that he could get a general by relying on his connections.

Now Zhang Yuan is General Wei and enjoys the right to open the government.

In terms of power, Chang Shi has greater power. Whether it is the prime minister, the great Sima, or the four generals who are better than the three princes, Chang Shi is all at the first level of deputy.

In Wei Qing's Hussar General's Mansion, there are 62 officials under him, and there are even more minor officials.

Zhang Yuan's General Wei didn't have such a big presence, but looking at the officials Liu Che packed and sent, he knew that the power was not small.

The two people who are Zhonglang are qualified to discuss matters with Zhang Yuan.

There are eleven people in the genus of Changshi, eight people in the genus of Changshi Lingshi, and ten people in the genus of Changshi Yu.

After Zhang Yuan got the list, he suddenly felt that the chief guard Shi had more things to do than himself.

As for the army Sima, it doesn't matter whether there is one or not.

Zhang Yuan's compulsive style has been raised a bit, he is no longer the official of the two thousand shi in the past, and now it is no problem to take the captain as his deputy.

But Zhang Yuan doesn't have the qualifications or the guts to be a high-ranking official like a school lieutenant.

We had to wait for Liu Che to give it, but Liu Che didn't give it, and didn't even give Xue Ren and the others some general titles.

Reasonably speaking, Zhang Cigong's status is no lower than that of the school captain. When he and Zhang Yuanweiqing attacked Loufan King Baiyang Wang earlier, he was the school captain.

It's fine if the other three don't give a title, not even Zhang Cigong.

Of course, it might have been given, Zhang Yuan just doesn't know it now, after all, Xue Ren is just a kid in front of him.

As for Xue Ren, the Captain of the Habayashi Military Academy, he is really a figurehead. Xue Ren is probably the only captain with a thousand stones in the entire Han Dynasty.

"When did you arrive?"

"Before noon, I had a meal at the house.

If I had known that Chef Wang was taken to the Marquis of Xin'an by you, General, I would have bothered you a lot during this period. "

Facing Zhang Yuan, the fourth generation of aristocrats like Xue Ren, he couldn't say anything.

However, whether these nobles are the fourth generation, the third generation, or a living second generation, if they don't work hard now and think about taking advantage of their ancestors' wealth, they will have no choice but to be unlucky in the future.

Not to mention the death of the prime minister in Liu Che's most ruthless Jinjin incident, Gongsun He was also deprived of his title.

If Xue Ren doesn't work hard to break away from the family by relying on military merits, his future fate may not be very good.

"When the others come, don't make jokes in front of me.

In the army, you must have a good appearance. Don't let outsiders say that Zhang Yuan is not strict in running the army. "

"I will understand at the end."

Li Ju doesn't know who he is yet, but Zhang Cigong and Xue Ren are both gangster types.

Only Li Jian is trustworthy.

With the help of the officials of General Wei's mansion, Zhang Yuan and Xue Ren sorted out the origin of the [-] cavalry.

Fortunately, it's not some old, disabled, sick and weak like Hou Guobing, a county soldier.

Liu Che brought back the army west of Chang'an that was supposed to deal with Hunxie King Xiutu.

As for all the troops east of Chang'an, they did not move at all.

It should be that after the Tweeting Order was issued, Liu Che was not very at ease facing those princes and kings, so he made such an announcement.

Zhang Yuan really hoped to lead the Eighth Colonel of the Southern Army and the Qimen Army of the Habayashi Army to go out together.

These [-] cavalry are the strongest lineup of the Han Dynasty, but it is a bit wasteful to keep guarding Chang'an City.

If Li Jian or Xue Ren were to lead the [-] troops, they could forcefully stop King Hunxie and King Xiutu in the west of Hexi, preventing them from going east.

"General Wei, General Li Jian and General Wei Shaoqing and Li Ju are here."

A senior member of the Shi family came and said to Zhang Yuan.

"Let them come right in."

"Here."

When Li Jian came in, his face was full of excitement.

Li Ju, on the other hand, was uneasy, and of course also a little excited.

"The last general pays his respects to General Wei."

"You two don't need to show courtesy. The first rule of General Wei's residence is that you don't have to stick to customary etiquette in the army."

"Here."

Zhang Yuan didn't have time to talk to Li Jian for the first time, but looked Li Ju up and down.

Li Ju has the roughness of a man from the north, and his brows and eyes are full of loyalty.

"General Li Ju, where is your family origin?"

"General Huiwei, the last general's family origin was originally in Xihe County, but after the general and the hussar general conquered Hetao, they moved the family to Yunzhong City, Yunzhong County, their ancestral home."

Hearing Li Ju's answer, Zhang Yuan felt relieved.

Now when he heard someone named Li, he would think it was related to the Li family in Longxi.

Zhang Yuan felt that the probability of a famous person with a surname was definitely linked to how many people with that surname had.

There are many people with the surname Li, which always gives Zhang Yuan the illusion that Li is everywhere.

"It turned out to be a man in the cloud, but I said that he was a man from the north.

I usually occasionally hear someone praise you for your bravery, but this time His Majesty allowed me to choose you as a general.

Although you and I have never met before, I hope there will be no gap between you and me. "

"After the final general heard the news, he has been thinking at home how to repay the kindness of General Wei for his support.

The adults in the family warned the last general that only killing more Huns on the battlefield is the way to repay his kindness.

Since the time of King Wuling of Zhao, the Li family in my Yunzhong has entered Yunzhong City to fight against the troops of King Loufan of the Xiongnu.

At the beginning of Emperor Gaozu's founding of the Han Dynasty, our Han Dynasty was weak, so we had no choice but to give up Hetao, and my Li family was forced to move south.

I heard before that the general and Da Sima were going to fight King Loufan, but the last general was full of blood but had no chance to fight.

Now General Wei is giving the last general a chance to fight, and the last general will live up to General Wei's kindness, respect my father's entrustment on the battlefield, remember the heroic spirit of our ancestors, and swear that we will never die with the Xiongnu! "

Zhang Yuan didn't expect Li Ju to be such a talkative person.

This is how long I have been frustrated.

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that he did not choose the wrong person, and what Li Ju said must not be false.

Most of the families of these famous generals of the Han Dynasty are in the border county, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, and the most bloody people are all in the northern border county.

Conscription has natural advantages.

Most people have a natural hatred for Hu people.

There are not a few families like Li Ju who have a century-old hatred against the Huns.

"Okay, General Ben believes in you.

But this general did not ask you here from His Majesty just to let you fight on the battlefield.

Those who are handsome command the generals, and those who are generals command the troops.

Those who are generals should be able to win the battle, so that the soldiers will not die in vain.

You, including Li Jian and Xue Ren, still have a lot to learn. "

"Hahaha, is General Wei teaching his subordinates a lesson?"

As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside, and then he saw Zhang Cigong walking in.

"Long time no see, Antouhou."

"The last general pays his respects to General Wei."

Zhang Cigong's status was not much lower than Zhang Yuan's, so he was naturally much more calm than others.

"This time, I'm afraid I will wrong Antou Hou to be under my command."

Zhang Yuan called himself a family member, and wanted to see his attitude.

"General Wei was joking, if there were no Da Sima and General Wei, the last general would still be in charge of the troops in border counties. It is still a matter of whether he can return to Chang'an in this life, let alone be a marquis now, with good wine and beautiful women all day long.

General Wei looked up to the last general, so he called the last general's name, and the last general naturally wanted to serve General Wei.

Anyway, General Wei told the last general to go east, and the last general would never run in other directions. "

"Okay, with what Antouhou said, I'm relieved.

The first victory in this expedition must be yours on the shore! "

"Then I would like to thank General Wei for his appreciation."

Zhang Yuan said that the other three still have a lot to learn, and the best person to learn from is Zhang Cigong.

But Zhang Cigong's informal temperament could not be imitated, and Zhang Cigong also fell into it in the future.

A person can survive under the suppression of the government, and finally become a general of a big man, and now he is even a marquis.

It is already a miracle to say that Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing climbed up from a slave.

But climbing up from a gangster is another kind of miracle. Although it is not as inspiring as a slave to make a fortune, his attitude towards life is also worth learning from others.

Zhang Yuan said that he would give Zhang Cigong the first victory, which also means that in this battle, Zhang Cigong must be the vanguard and cannot escape.

Li Jianxue Ren is the vanguard, Zhang Yuan is afraid that these two guys will be slaughtered.

As for Li Ju, although he talks about being powerful now, his true ability has not yet been seen.

Only Zhang Cigong can take it out as a sacrifice, even if he gets great credit, it doesn't matter, what should be his is his.

"Now that everyone is here, the history of General Wei's mansion will be decided.

General Ben thinks that it is most appropriate for Qi Menservant to shoot Li Jian. "

Li Jian hadn't talked to Zhang Yuan since he came in with Li Ju, and now he was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Zhang Yuan, he was a little uncomfortable, and looked around at the three people around him.

Zhang Yuan is also looking at the appearance of other people, but Zhang Cigong doesn't care about this position at all, what he wants is to be able to fight the enemy to gain military exploits.

As for Li Ju, knowing that he has the worst relationship with Zhang Yuan here, he never thought that this position could fall on him.

The only one who is dissatisfied is Xue Ren.

"General, didn't you talk about the positions of the last general and General Li Jian?"

"I said, you are a partial general.

Li Jian said it again, didn't he say it now. "

Xue Ren suddenly felt cheated.

But he didn't dare to talk back to Zhang Yuan, he had experienced how powerful Zhang Yuan was.

Xue Ren still can't forget the whipping many years ago.

"In this way, Li Jian is the governor of General Wei's mansion, and all official affairs in the mansion are handled by Li Jian.

The most important thing in these three days is to gather personnel, 5 people, five school lieutenants and five military commanders, let them lead the troops to stop outside Chiyang City and come to see me.

In addition, the materials must be brought together. The [-] cavalry, the Qimen Army and the Habayashi Army will bring all the original equipment.

The rest of the cavalry each wore armor, which was the minimum, and carried a bow, crossbow, ring and first knife, and each was equipped with three spears. "

"Spear?"

Zhang Cigong directly asked a rhetorical question.

"Yes, three spears."

"But this will greatly increase the burden on our army."

"I have my own intentions."

Seeing Zhang Yuan's insistence, Zhang Cigong stopped talking.

"Li Jian, you can go directly to the Zhongjun Mansion to ask for it, and now we are mainly focusing on the needs of the cavalry.

We only need to bring enough food to support us to Shuofang County, and then replenish it from Shuofang County. "

"The last general takes orders!"

The reason why Zhang Cigong had such a big reaction when he heard that Zhang Yuan wanted to bring a spear was entirely because the spear was the weapon of the infantry.

A spear is five or six meters anyway, and cavalry spears are only used by heavy cavalry in Europe.

Qin Mao was six meters long.

No matter how short the Han spear is, it is no shorter than five meters, but the cost of the spear is high. After the Qin Dynasty, the big Han rarely produced spears.

Because the range of bows and crossbows is much longer than that of spears, and spears and halberds are lighter and easier to use than spears, spears will naturally be eliminated.

Zhang Yuan wanted 15 spears at once, not to mention emptying out Chang'an's arsenal, it is estimated that it is almost the same.

Zhang Yuan wanted these spears to be of great use.
