Straight man of steel

Chapter 436 The Blessed Terrain

The map, which was one foot long and half a foot high, was unfolded and hung on the wall.

Zhang Yuan still likes this way of looking at the map, which can save a lot of space.

"General Wei, we will leave the Surrendered City tomorrow.

Now can you tell everyone the purpose of this trip? "

For some reason, Li Shuo and Han Shuo are getting mixed up now.

Li Danghu's beating of Han Yan was well known to everyone in the dynasty. The two families did not say that they were feuds, but they were probably bigger than the hatred between Li's family and Zhang Yuan.

Seeing Li Shuo order Han Shuo to ask this question, Zhang Yuan frowned, but he still explained for everyone.

"Until the traces of the Huns are found, this general will not order to send troops."

More than a dozen people in the room looked at each other in blank dismay. They really did not expect Zhang Yuan to say such a thing.

Even Li Jian, Zhang Cigong and others who trusted Zhang Yuan the most now feel that Zhang Yuan is too risky.

Ever since Zhang Yuan was summoned by Liu Che and learned of the military ministers summoning King Xiutu and King Hunxie, he has been thinking about it until now.

Gongsun He's pawns might have to press the tail of July to reach the grassland.

And once Zhang Yuan sent troops, he could only take half a month's rations to entangle with King Xiutu and King Hunxie.

"Everyone, you should know that we carry a maximum of fifteen days' rations.

It is impossible for our soldiers to ride a mare and drink mare's milk like the Huns.

Many people are dissatisfied that I let the army carry spears. Even if those spears are removed, how much rations can I bring?

Many people are still pinning their hopes on the [-] infantry that are estimated to have not been assembled yet. I just want to tell you that it is best to give up this idea.

Antouhou knew that we had been waiting in Gaoque for a long time before Li Guang and his army arrived. If it wasn't for General Gongsun leading the troops to arrive in time.

It is very likely that our cavalry will be reduced to the rations of the Xiongnu Shanyu. "

"That's much better than being trapped in the surrendered city right now?"

Zhang Yuan knew that Li Shuo was definitely going to play against him when he came here, which is the same as political correctness.

No matter what Zhang Yuan said is right or wrong, his small position will not change, and his big position will just stand with Zhang Yuan.

"Who said we were going to be trapped in the surrendered city?
Li Jian, send 1000 people out, disperse for me in a team of five, and go in the direction of Junji Mountain. "

Junji Mountain is divided into East Junji Mountain and West Junji Mountain, running from east to west, separated by temporary water in the middle.

For the time being, the source of the water is Junji Mountain. The water trend here is very strange. It is one of the few rivers extending from south to north in the desert.

Wei Qing said that this period of time is the rainy season in the desert, and the entire grassland is muddy, and Zhang Yuan has already felt it on the way from Wuyuan County to Shoujiang City.

Besides, there are two rivers around the water, the Xiongnu River and the Lannu River. The Xiongnu River extends from south to north, but the Lannu River extends from north to south.

However, this does not affect that the rivers north of the three rivers will converge with these three rivers.

China has a mother river, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and the Huns naturally have a mother river.

The three tributaries of the mother river are just to the north of the three rivers of the temporary water, and the water potential of these three tributaries is greater, and they extend from north to south.

This made it impossible for King Xiutu and King Hunxie to take this path.

The road from Beihai to Junji Mountain is full of lakes and rivers. King Xiutu and King Hunxie have only one way to march.

It is south of Junji Mountain.

God drew a picture on the grassland, and by coincidence, a river Longleshui was formed in the south of Junji Mountain.

That's why Zhang Yuan was able to conclude that King Xiutu and King Hunxie wanted to go eastward, and this was the only way left without crossing the territory of the Han Dynasty.

This kind of terrain is only found here in Junji Mountain. Once King Xiutu and King Hunxie pass through the narrow area of ​​Fuyangju Mountain, it will really be as high as the sky, let the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish leap, and go east until the army The city of Tuidang where I live is a wilderness, without mountains, rivers, or even large lakes.

Zhang Yuan could only block the Xiongnu's reinforcements here, and if he couldn't block it, he would be cool and moved thousands of miles to support Wei Qing and the others.

If it is blocked, it is a great achievement.

"General Wei, what do the scouts want to find out?"

Li Jian probably was afraid that Li Shuo and the others would have objections to Zhang Yuan, so he said something more and wanted Zhang Yuan to explain.

"Look at the number of students who have graduated from Taixue, the group we brought up in Lantian Mountain back then.

If there is a large group of people passing by, there must be traces. The army of Xiutu King Hunxie has 20 people. Such cavalry will be directly trampled to death when they pass by the grass.

Sprinkle the scouts all the way to Xijunji Mountain, and when they found something abnormal, they immediately sent the news back. "

"I will understand at the end."

After Zhang Yuan said this, Li Shuo and the others stopped talking.

Junji Mountain is only a day and a half away from the surrendered city by the cavalry.

As long as the movement of the Xiongnu's reinforcements is detected, they can rush there no matter what.

"Everyone, we can't just stay in the Surrendered City right now.

Except for the scouts sent out, the rest of the people should not slack off in the slightest, and train as usual every day, and the training methods are carried out according to the standards of the Qimen army. "

"General, do you want us to face the Huns' 20 recharged army with a tired army?"

Many concepts of Zhang Yuan's trip were not understood by everyone, including carrying heavy spears, including pre-war training.

His approach is not only not seen in ancient times, it is also not seen in modern warfare.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang trained soldiers before the battle to show Sima Yi, and to show it to the enemy.

Now that the Xiongnu reinforcements are gone, King Xiutu and King Hunxie don't even know that the big man will attack them.

The reason why Zhang Yuan did that was because the [-] cavalry allocated to him by Liu Che was too weak.

It's just too soft, and its fighting spirit is no better than that of the frontier army, or the most elite cavalry of the big man.

Because they were all soldiers selected by the three counties of Longxi and the Inner History, their physical fitness was much better than that of the national soldiers of Wang Guobing County, but Zhang Yuan was very dissatisfied with this temperament.

I haven't experienced a war for a long time, so I am too lazy.

During the seven-day march, a group of people complained all day long, and the thousands of recruits from the Habayashi Army were not as delicate as this group of people.

Zhang Yuan could only rely on pre-war training to keep the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

"Even if we receive news of reinforcements from the Huns, they won't arrive until we rush over.

At that time, the time we waited was the time to rest, and I didn't plan to spend all my money to fight the Huns at the beginning.

You just need to obey the general's orders. If you have any objections, you can go to His Majesty to impeach me after the war is over. "

Facing Li Shuo's questioning, Zhang Yuan almost pointed at his nose and said these words.

Li Shuo wanted to argue at first, but Han said that he pulled his sleeve robe to let him understand that the person standing in front of him was neither Taixue Ling nor Xin'anhou, but General Wei of the Han Dynasty.
