Chapter 10 The King of Donghu(1/2)
Chapter 10 King Donghu
"Haha!" Zhang Piqiang smiled happily, picked up his beard and looked at Zhou Yang: "To put it, I was wrong! I never thought that the general was actually using his troops as if he was a god. He was wrong, he was wrong!"
In the past, Zhou Yang was a playboy, who only knew how to eat, drink, play and oppress the kind, and Zhang Piqiang was not out of his mind. Zhou Yang in front of him was a modern person and a member of the time travel family. No matter how talented Zhang Piqiang was, he could not have imagined this point.
Zhou Yang laughed so much when he saw his regretful look. If Zhang Piqiang could think of it, he would be a god. No one could think of it.
Zhang Piqiang's return was a great joy. Not only did Zhang Tong cry again and again, but Zhou Yang was also happy. Although Zhou Yang only met him, he had heard of his name many times and knew his power. Now, when the Han Dynasty was innovating and governing, he needed someone with extraordinary talents the most.
Not to mention, Zhang Piqiang's appearance in Donghu must be related to Donghu. Zhou Yang wants to capture Donghu, and the more people help each other, the better.
"We need to drink it well!" Li Guang said rudely and exclaimed what everyone was thinking, and he shouted loudly.
"Don't be busy drinking first, let's talk about the current military situation first!" Zhang Piqiang said in the laughter of the generals.
"What do you think of?" Zhou Yang's face turned solemn and he asked for advice.
When it comes to the Huns, Zhou Yang is very familiar with them. After all, he fought so many battles with the Huns. However, when it comes to Donghu, Zhou Yang's understanding is worse than that. If you can listen to Zhang Piqiang's views, there are great benefits in this battle.
"I dare not see the sect!" Zhang Piqiang said humbly, took out a bunch of silk from his arms, spread it out, and hung it on the tabernacle. This is a map, which depicts the situation of the Huns and Donghu.
"Oh my God!"
Sima Yi and Qin Feng exclaimed in unison when they saw this map.
This map is very detailed, even more detailed than the map brought to Chang'an by Sima Yi and Qin Feng to Chang'an to the Han Dynasty. More importantly, the military strength of the Xiongnu and Donghu is clearly marked on this map.
"With this map, we don't have to send anyone to detectives!" Li Guang praised with his beard, his eyes shining, and he praised loudly.
His words were exactly what the generals thought, and they all nodded in agreement.
"The Flying General is such a bad statement!" Zhang Piqiang shook his head and said, "This is just the current distribution of troops. In a few days, we will have to re-paint. On the battlefield, the enemy situation changes very quickly. Today is like this, tomorrow is like this, this is just the current situation."
"Miu Miraculous!"
Zhou Yang kept slapping his high fives and praised him: "The second uncle is worthy of being a soldier!"
This map is very good, and it is the best one that Zhou Yang has ever seen. It can be said to be a very high achievement.
"Li Guang has received the teaching!" Li Guang thanked him with his fists.
"The flying general is so serious, and I dare not receive the teachings!" Zhang Piqiang replied and pointed to the map and said, "This is the military distribution map drawn below. If there is any place, please correct me. Hou Chan'er led the 200,000 Xiongnu army, which was the elite army of the Xiongnu. He was brave and good at fighting, and he could not defeat him in the battle. Hou Chan'er made great contributions to the west when he followed the Shanyu to fight. Shanyu asked him to be the King of Zuo Guli, which was extremely respected."
He paused slightly, looked at Li Guang, and smiled and said, "I don't need to say much about Hou Chan'er. You are not unfamiliar with this man. This man is very skilled in martial arts, has great skills, and has excellent archery skills. There are few rivals in the world. The reason why the Huns fought smoothly was that in addition to Hou Chan'er's experience as a rare general, his archery skills helped him a lot. Like the Donghu and the Huns, they all lived in water and grass, grew up on horseback, and they were skilled in riding and shooting, and they were also very skillful in archery skills. However, when they met Hou Chan'er, they all made an arrow and died."
Like the Xiongnu, the Donghu spoke with strength and those with excellent archery skills were highly respected. These people with superb archery skills shot Hou Chan'er and had a great blow to the morale and morale of Donghu. It would not be possible to be defeated so quickly.
"At the beginning of the war, the Donghu neglected defense, and the Donghu King did not expect that the Huns would use troops to fight them and had no defense at all. Duan's tribe was hit by a devastating blow and the entire tribe was destroyed. Even the Duan tribe leader was killed by Hou Chan'er." Zhang Piqiang shook his head and said with some ridicule: "The Donghu King originally thought that after the Huns conquered the Western Regions, they would use troops to the Han Dynasty, and he could rest assured. However, he did not know that if the Huns wanted to fight to the death with the Han Dynasty, they had to conquer the Donghu first, get the land, get the cattle, sheep, and the horses of the people. He neglected defense to seek death."
The Huns sent troops to the Donghu this time very suddenly. The 200,000 army, led by Hou Chaner, suddenly launched an attack on the Donghu without any warning. From top to bottom, no one expected that the Huns would attack the Donghu and had no defense at all.
The leader of the Duan tribe drank and had fun with his subordinates in his tent, and enjoyed the singing and dancing of the dancers. When he was drunk, Hou Chaner suddenly appeared, chopped off the head of the Duan tribe leader, sat in his seat and drank, and admired the song and dance he had not finished watching.
"After destroying Duan's army, Hou Chan'er went straight to Murong's army." Zhang Piqiang continued to explain the war: "The Murong's army also had no defense, and the troops suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the leaders of the Murong's army were hunting and fleeing in a hurry, and they saved their lives. As for the troops, cattle, sheep, and horses, they lost almost all."
"This is a good kill! It's best to kill the leader Murong, so that the Central Plains will not be in trouble." Zhou Yang thought to himself. Zhou Yang's history was not very good, and he also knew that the Murong generals would cause trouble to the Central Plains hundreds of years later and almost unified the Central Plains. The reason why Zhou Yang knew was because of martial arts novels.
"We have to find an opportunity to kill the leader of the Murong tribe, and we will never leave any harm!" Zhou Yang made up his mind secretly.
Under the leadership of Hou Chan'er, the Huns were as if they had entered a no-man state and killed countless people. Other tribes of the Donghu either fled when they heard the news, surrendered to the Huns, or killed corpses everywhere for the Huns.
Zhang Piqiang came one by one, and everyone was surprised to hear it. Just a few years later, the Huns became so powerful. Although Donghu was negligent in preventing it, he caught him off guard. However, Donghu was so large that the area of Donghu was enough and the strategic space was enough, and until now, Donghu had not organized effective resistance.
Not to mention anything else, just this rapid advance is rare. Although Zhou Yang and others hated the Huns very much, they did not erase their advantages.
"Do you know why the Huns marched so quickly?" Zhang Piqiang asked at the end.
"This... the Huns suddenly attacked with four legs, either quickly or quickly." Li Guang thought for a moment and replied loudly.
"Yes!" the generals agreed in unison.
The Huns grew up on horseback since childhood and had four legs, coming and going like the wind, and they were extremely fast. Today is in the east and tomorrow is in the west, which makes people unpredictable. It is their strength to gallop across the desert. In the absence of guardianship in the Donghu, it is impossible to be fast.
"Although what the Flying General said is reasonable, it is not the case." Zhang Piqiang shook his head and said with a hint of amusement: "This is thanks to the general!"
"Me?" Zhou Yang was surprised and opened his mouth to the top.
If Zhou Yang said this from someone else's mouth, he would naturally not believe it, but if he said this from Zhang Piqiang's mouth, it would be different.
"That's right!" Zhang Piqiang looked at Zhou Yang: "The General of the Great Manifest knows that the Xiongnu's way of fighting this time is very different from the past. The Xiongnu imitated the General of the Great Manifest, and each handed a wooden stick made of an iron tree. It was sharp and extremely sharp. After shooting with a bow and arrow, he charged with a wooden stick. Two hundred thousand Xiongnus, each handed a wooden stick and charged in his hand. How fierce it was, the General of the Great Manifest knew it very well."
In each battle between the Huns and the Donghu, there were not necessarily 200,000 people, at least tens of thousands, at most tens of thousands, at most tens of thousands, or even more than tens of thousands. No matter how many Huns were there, they charged with wooden sticks, and their power was quite amazing.
Zhou Yang and the others knew this very well. Who said that this was Zhou Yang's invention? In the battle a few years ago, Zhou Yang equipped the Han cavalry with spears. Due to insufficient spears, he also used the long halberd as a spear and equipped it with the Han cavalry.
Its effect is needless to say, and it is obvious to all. It can often create huge chaos and create greater advantages for the subsequent cut and slaughter, which has caused a lot of trouble to the Huns.
In recent years, although the Han Dynasty has not used troops to the Huns, it has also been inquiring about the movements of the Huns and knowing that this is the idea of the Zhongchang. However, I don’t know that the Huns have used it. After all, the Huns’ Western Expedition was too far away for the Han Dynasty, and it was thousands of miles away. It was too difficult to find out clearly.
"Although it is a wooden stick, not a spear, and it is not as sharp and strong as it is, it also gives the Huns the upper hand. When the Huns rush, the Donghu often falls behind the enemy and fails to defeat the army." Zhang Piqiang gave Zhou Yang a thumbs up and praised: "The general has taught a good disciple!"
"Haha!" Li Guang and the others laughed.
After listening to Zhang Piqiang's interesting words, Zhou Yang also smiled: "If I hadn't heard the second uncle's detailed explanation, I wouldn't have known that the Huns had such changes."
The Xianbei tribe of the Donghu mainly lived in the current Xing'anling area, which was too far from the Han territory. It was very difficult for the Han Dynasty to send people to detectives, and it was not that Zhou Yang did not do it.
"Master, there is a difficulty right now. I wonder if you have any plans?" Zhang Piqiang asked.
"You are talking about ferrying Rao Leshui?" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows.
Rao Leshui is the current Liao River, which is a major river in the Donghu territory. It is blocking the Han army. If the Han army wants to go north, it must cross the Rao Leshui. If you want to cross the river, you have to go from the west. Then you have to walk a lot more roads, not to mention it, but also enter the territory of the Huns. This is impossible, and you can only cross the river.
"We are prepared for this matter." Sima Yi took over the conversation and said, "We have prepared a lot of craftsmen and can build a floating bridge in at most half a month."
"The solution is good, but it takes too much time." Zhang Piqiang shook his head: "If it had been half a month to cross the Raole River, the Donghu would have fallen into the hands of the Huns. The Han Dynasty sent troops this time to capture the Donghu land. Some people need to use the hands of the Huns to kill, while some people need the Han to kill. Time is not waiting for anyone, half a month is too long!"
If the Han Dynasty wanted to collect the land of Donghu, it must be kind and powerful. To establish authority, it must kill people. When the Huns were killed, the Han Dynasty could not establish authority. Although it could still collect land, it would cause trouble. Zhang Piqiang was very worried.
"Do you have a wonderful method?" Zhou Yang asked.
"I'm worried about this." Zhang Piqiang raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "It really doesn't work. You can go through one and capture the King of Donghu."
To hit the snake and capture the thief and capture the king, no matter what, the King of Donghu must be controlled by it and cannot be captured by the Huns. Zhang Piqiang's method is an emergency measure.
"Good idea!" Zhou Yang praised, and changed his tone: "In fact, it won't take that long to get through Rao Leshui."
"Oh!" Zhang Piqiang was interested and asked, "Master, do you have a wonderful method?"
Not to mention in the era of cold weapons, even in modern society, crossing the river by the army is an extremely complicated and troublesome thing, and it often takes a long time to deal with it.
"Report to the Grand Commander, the ships have been collected!" Zhao Ponu quickly stepped in and reported to Zhou Yang.
"Okay!" Zhou Yang praised him loudly.
Although Donghu is a nomadic people, shepherd cattle and sheep to make a living, it does not mean that there are no ships. You should know that if you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat water, many of the Donghu people near Raoleshui make a living by fishing, and boats are only indispensable. Although these ships are small and rough, they cannot be compared with the ships of the Han Dynasty.
"What do you want a boat to do?" Sima Yi looked puzzled.
Not only did he not understand, but even Zhang Piqiang and the others were not.
Zhou Yang did not explain to them, but said, "The craftsmen you brought are just for use. You ask them to make wooden boards, the more you want, the better! The faster you are, the better!"
"Wooden board?" Everyone was surprised.
"No!" Despite the surprise, Sima Yi and Qin Feng still took the order and started construction overnight.
"Second uncle, do you think it's better to cross the river?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Here, here, here..." Zhang Piqiang pointed to the map and introduced it to Zhou Yang one by one. He was familiar with Donghu and told him one by one, and was very detailed. Zhou Yang finally selected three river crossing points.
When crossing the river, you have to build a floating bridge and wait for the wooden boards to be done, and you can't even come in a hurry.
That night, a banquet was held to welcome Zhang Piqiang and Zhang Buyi, and they parted with joy. After the banquet, Zhou Yang asked Zhang Piqiang why he was missing back then, but he just said, "I know when I am."
He didn't want to say this, it seemed that there was a hidden truth, and Zhou Yang didn't want to ask.
The next morning, Zhou Yang and his generals rushed to the bridge.
The Liao River is an extremely important river in the Northeast. Without the environment in the Han Dynasty, the river water was clear and clear enough to be used as a mirror. Zhou Yang stayed by the river and looked at the Rao Leshui. He felt that the environment difference between ancient and modern times was so great.
The wind here is clear, the water is beautiful, the grass is green, and it is beautiful everywhere. The beauty of the scenery makes people feel moved.
The selected bridge was built, the river surface was not wide and the water flow was not fast. It was very suitable to build a floating bridge, and Zhang Piqiang had a good vision.
There are countless ships on the shore, some of which are very small, which can be said to be sampans and can also come in handy.
"Master, what should I do?" Li Guang, the anxious man, took the lead in asking.
What he asked was exactly what everyone was thinking, and his eyes were gathered on Zhou Yang.
"Tell them to fill half of the sand into the boat." Zhou Yang jumped off the back of the horse and pointed the whip in his hand forward: "Then drive it into the river."
"Prepare sand? What's the use of this?" Although everyone was puzzled, they still gave orders.
After the soldiers were ordered, they made sand into the boat. This was on the shore, and the river was so sandy. It was not long before half of the boat was filled. The boatman shouted, rowed the boat, and rowed into the river.
Under Zhou Yang's command, the boatmen shook the boat into the river, lined up in a straight line, and placed one at a certain distance.
"This?" Li Guang and the others looked at the ship floating in the river, and they were puzzled.
"Wonderful!" Zhang Piqiang stroked his forehead and praised him, looking like he suddenly realized.
"Just lay the wooden boards and fix them." Zhou Yang ordered.
To be continued...
