Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 195 Han Xin's strategy, strike without water
However, Han Xin still understood that the military order was like a mountain. He looked at the vast grassland and rode his horse galloping, and went to the north with his companions to investigate the situation.

Han Xin had seen the confiscated flag of the Rouran tribe and the young master's crusade against the Rouran tribe at that time, and remembered it in his clever mind. The purpose of the investigation to avoid the East Hu cavalry was to find the position of the flag .

If he finds the position of Rouran and wins a big victory, Han Xin knows that according to the military merit system, he can rise a few levels.

Perhaps he is one of the protagonists of the era after all. The location of the Rouran Division is not far from the last Fusu crusade against the Soft Division, and Han Xin really found it.

With such a distance, it must have been very uncomfortable for the Rouran army to be cut off by the Murong army at that time, Han Xin thought.

Han Xin, who had made great contributions, didn't want to leave. He also wanted to find out the problem of the Rouran Department's garrison. Since he came here to investigate, he wanted to expand his credit.

Moreover, Han Xin believed in his own abilities. Nomads like the Rouran tribe definitely had loopholes in defense, so he carefully rode around the Rouran tribe.

Just as he thought, in order to obtain enough water sources in this early summer season, the entire Rouran tribe moved to a place close to the river.

To the southwest lies a shallow river. Although there are women and children fetching water, there are not many scout cavalry guarding this side, so there is naturally a loophole.

Han Xin looked at the Rouran Department behind him, and could only think again, as expected, there are still too few talents like him in the world, and this intelligence report is also a great credit.

When Han Xin returned to the Feixiong army, he happened to see the military marquis in charge of assigning scouts nodding and bowing beside a man younger than himself.

Seeing that Han Xin came back so soon, he turned his head and asked, "Han Xin, why did you come back?"

"Believe me, I found the location where the Rouran Department is stationed," Han Xin bowed and looked at the young man, thinking about his identity.

This time Captain Han Qinhu seemed to have called his two nephews, and this young man should be one of them.

Seeing the Junhou's nodding attitude, Han Xin secretly sarcasticly said, "You are such a talented person and you can't see that the county captain's nephew is making you humble like this."

Hearing that Han Xin found the Rouran Department, Junhou's tone was obviously a lot happier, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the Rouran Department?"

Taking out the simple map in his arms calmly, Han Xin marked a location on it and drew a big circle, which is Rouran Department.

"Okay! You've made a great contribution." Junhou hurriedly snatched Han Xin's map, and obsequiously handed it to the young man, who was actually Li Zuoche.

However, Li Zuoche discovered that in addition to drawing a circle, Han Xin also made a cross in the southwest direction of the circle. He raised his head and asked, "What does this cross mean?"

Seeing Li Zuoche discovering the fork he had made, Han Xin said proudly: "After I found the location where the Rouran Department was stationed, I patrolled around and found a river to the southwest of them."

"They have almost no scout cavalry on the southwest side. If we fight from here, we will definitely catch them by surprise!"

Seeing Han Xin's confident expression, Li Zuoche asked again: "You said there is a river here, so how are you going to get there?"

"That river, the river is very slow. I have seen it a little bit, and the river is also very shallow. It is a river that migrates with the seasons." Han Xin approached and pointed out the location of the river: "We just need to stay here and block the upper reaches with sand. The source of water, it doesn’t take long for the river to dry up!”

This proposal by Han Xin moved Li Zuoche a little. This plan is indeed feasible. Li Zuoche praised: "Your name is Han Xin! This plan is good. I will report it to the county captain. If it succeeds, you must have a great contribution." !"

After speaking, Li Zuoche took Han Xin's map and left here, heading for Han Qinhu's location.

Han Qinhu is now discussing with Xue Li about any offensive matters. Even though both of them believe that the Rouran Department is vulnerable to the two armies, reducing casualties is something that every commander must consider.

"County Captain, Captain Xue Li," Li Zuoche drove to the side of the two. Although Li Zuoche was weak, he was also compared with his uncle Han Qinhu and his elder brother Li Jing.

Li Zuoche couldn't be more normal if he was compared to Guo Jia, the counselor next to the young master.

"Zuo Che, what's the matter with you?" Han Qinhu asked when he looked up and saw his nephew.

So Li Zuoche took out the map that Han Xin had just given from his cuff, and showed it to the two of them: "This is the Rouran Department discovered by scout Han Xin, which is less than thirty miles to the north."

Hearing this sentence, the expressions of both of them became relieved. It seems that they have brought too much dry food for the past three days.

"And Han Xin also discovered that there is a river in the southwest of Rouran." Li Zuoche also truthfully told the two of Han Xin's schemes.

"Good way!" Xue Li nodded in praise.

"This strategy is indeed a good one. Zuo Che, you can mobilize another team of scouts and go to the upper reaches of the river to see if this method is feasible?" Han Qinhu ordered while holding the map.

"Obey," Li Zuoche left quickly after receiving the order.

As for Han Xin's contribution, after this battle, Li Zuoche knew that he would definitely set up a target for him, but the military situation was extremely urgent, and he had to seize every bit of time.

For Han Xin, Li Zuoche had just met him, and felt that he was a little arrogant, but he felt that Han Xin and himself got along very well.

The scouts sent to check the upper reaches of the river also confirmed that the flow of the river is slow and the water volume is not particularly large. Blocking the upper reaches will indeed dry up the water in the lower reaches.

So Han Qinhu and Xue Li started to move. Han Qinhu's Feixiong army moved fast, went directly upstream to block the river, and went down from the upstream to borrow momentum.

Xue Li's blood-clothed army waited for the river water to start to become small enough to cross the river, and then launched an attack to attract the attention of the Feixiong army upstream. Finally, they attacked from both sides, forming a cornering situation.

After formulating the plan, Han Qinhu led the Feixiong Army to ride northwest, while Xue Li led the Blood Clothes Army to move slowly north, retaining enough strength to cope with the coming battle.

When Han Qinhu came to the upper reaches of the river, he asked his second brother Han Sengshou to lead troops to block the river with sand and guard it, and charged downstream with most of the rest.

In the Rouran tribe, the women who came to draw water from the river next to the tribe discovered that the river, which was not originally a sufficient source of water, was slowly drying up.

Many people began to cry out. After all, without this river, how would they survive in the next summer and autumn?

And the sharp-eyed child suddenly saw a black and red army appearing in the southwest direction on the other side of the river, and they marched towards Rouran in a uniform order.
