Chapter 75: The Decisive Battle of Dragon City (I)

Weiyang Palace, the Palace of Health.

The huge hall was filled with beds. Emperor Wu of Han did what he said, and he really ate in the Yangxin Hall and lived in the Yangxin Hall, waiting for Zhou Yang’s good news.

Mr. Shen, Master Yan, Dong Zhongshu, Zhou Yafu and others were unwilling to fall behind and moved to the Yangxin Palace. They could get the war report as soon as possible, and did not take responsibility for handling state affairs incorrectly.

Emperor Wu of Han stood by the window, facing north, looking forward with bright eyes, holding his hands tightly, slightly nervous.

Shen Gong, Zhou Yang, Zhufu Yan, Zhou Yafu and others stood behind Emperor Wu of Han, looked at the north, frowned, and did not speak.

In addition to these important officials, there is an old man living in Yangxin Hall. This man has a gentle and elegant style, which makes people admire him. He is the master of Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Wan. This man is proficient in the study of hundreds of schools and has a profound knowledge. What is even more rare is that this man is not a person who can not transform into ancient times. He knows the way of change and is proficient in military tactics. He can be said to be a versatile talent.

At such a decisive battle that concerns China's safety, he also found Emperor Wu of Han to participate in the discussion.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the general uses strange troops. Although this battle is difficult, the general will definitely deal with it properly." Wei Wan persuaded him softly.

"I believe my brother-in-law will deal with it well." Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly and frowned: "But, if you don't worry about such a big battle, that's not the truth. I am full of confidence in this battle, but I still want to get the battle report as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" His words attracted a lot of echoes, and Mr. Shen and others agreed with this.

With the opportunity that has been waiting for thousands of years, who doesn’t want to know the situation of the war earlier?

"Your Majesty, the war must be determined according to the circumstances, and there is no fixed law." Wei Zhan continued to persuade, saying, "Although we are all very anxious, we can't come even if we are anxious. It's better to wait patiently."

"This is the truth." Emperor Wu of Han agreed with this. He turned around, stroked his forehead and said, "It seems that I am still too young. When I encounter a big event, I can't calm down."

"Your Majesty, you are not sure." Shen Gong shook his head, not agreeing with this sentence: "The young emperor, the emperor, is extremely heroic and powerful, and it is rare to be so calm! This battle is related to the honor and disgrace of China for thousands of years. Even the old minister can't hold back. Alas! This great general has to send a letter at least. If someone waits for this, isn't this torture?"

"Duke Shen, we are as anxious as you!" The Lord's father Yan said: "In my opinion, the war situation must be urgent. The commander cannot take time, so there is no reply. We are waiting. Once the war report arrives, it will be a good news!"

"Master Father, you don't have to blame Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is just talking and has no other intentions." Dong Zhongshu tightly held his hands, a little anxious.

"Emperor! Emperor!" At this moment, Zhang Qian's scream came from outside the hall.

"Zhang Qian, what's the matter?" Emperor Wu of Han raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with light, and he asked anxiously: "But there is a border military newspaper?"

"The emperor is wise! That's right!" Zhang Qian's surprise voice came in, and then Zhang Qian rushed in quickly, holding a copper tube in his hand.

"Hurry! Bring it!" Emperor Wu of Han raised his foot and flew to meet him. This was the military newspaper he had been waiting for day and night, and he was as anxious as something.

"No!" Zhang Qian ran to Emperor Wu of Han excitedly and handed the copper tube to Emperor Wu of Han: "Emperor, this is the military newspaper of the Grand General, and sent it to the Northland with flying eagles, and then delivered it by the Northland with fast horses."

Emperor Wu of Han took the copper tube and his hands trembled slightly. This was a thousand years of honor and disgrace. The answer was about to be known. China is honor and disgrace, and it was just in an instant. Emperor Wu of Han felt that this small copper tube was weighing thousands of pounds.

Mr. Shen, Master Yan, Dong Zhongshu, Zhou Yafu, Wei Wan, Zhang Qian and others knew the importance of this matter. They all held their breath, stared at the copper tube with wide eyes.

For a moment, the Yangxin Palace was quiet, and the needle fell and there was no sound, and time seemed to have frozen.

"Huh! Huh! Huh!"

Emperor Wu of Han took a few breaths of cold air, and tried to calm down. He quickly pulled out silk and spread it open. His bright eyes were particularly fierce, like the scorching sun above the nine heavens.

"This..." Emperor Wu of Han heard a sound of grinding his teeth, and there was no more details, and he looked surprised.

There was a sudden repression in the originally solidified hall, and Mr. Shen and the others seemed to have suppressed Mount Tai.

"Your Majesty, why are you surprised?"

"Master, but the war is not good?"

Although Emperor Wu of Han was not old, he was a famous smart man, extremely heroic and extremely brave, so it was not easy to shock him. He was so surprised that he rarely encountered him, and he couldn't help but think about the bad side.

"The war is not good?" Emperor Wu of Han raised his eyebrows and his tone suddenly turned higher: "Who said the war is not good?"

You looked shocked, didn't this make people think about bad things? Shen Gong and the others couldn't help but mutter, and they had to ask carefully: "Master, what's wrong? Are you so surprised?"

"I am surprised? You will be surprised too!" Emperor Wu of Han said to them even more confused: "I ask you, what is the use of lies?"

"Lie?" Shen Gong and his friends' mouths turned round, and they all opened their mouths with a look of stuttering: "Master, liars are shameless, what's the use of this lie?"

"No! No! No!" Emperor Wu of Han waved his right hand vigorously and said excitedly: "From now on, this lying is a shameful thing to change! I have told you that lies sometimes have unexpected uses! See for yourself!"

What's the use of lying is not ashamed of others? Shen Gong and others are all like listening to a fantasy. If they hadn't said this from the mouth of Emperor Jin, they would have been scolded as crazy people.

Zhou Yafu was anxious, and as soon as he stretched out his body, he took the silk from Emperor Wu of Han. His eyes flashed, and then it became petrified. He widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, and could not even speak, but the "gurgling" sound from his throat.

"Why are you surprised?" Shen Gong and his wife asked, put their heads over and took a look, and they were petrified directly.

"Can lie be used like this?" After a long time, Mr. Shen and the others woke up and stroked their foreheads, looking disbelief.

"This great general is worthy of being a strange military force, and even lies have become a weapon!" The master Yan couldn't help but shake his head, and looked amazed.

"Okay!" Mr. Shen raised his thumb, his face full of joy and comfort, and he praised: "In this way, the Xiongnu's formation is not smooth, and if so many herders push and step on each other, many people will die. We will definitely win this battle!"

"Yes!" Wei Wanda agreed with Shen Gong's conclusion: "The Huns surrounded the general, and it was only a matter of time before they could be eliminated. China's honor and disgrace for thousands of years has finally come to a conclusion! So many people want to defeat the Huns, but they have not done it. The emperor has done it, and the emperor has made great achievements for thousands of years! Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor!"

The Lord's Father Yan, Shen Gong, Dong Zhongshu, Wei Wan and Zhang Qianqi congratulated Emperor Wu of Han. The sound shook the roof of the palace and contained endless joy.

"This is an event that has been eternal!" Emperor Wu of Han waved his right hand and said strongly: "For thousands of years, China finally won this battle! King Wuling of Zhao, Li Mu, Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian, ​​I have done what they did. I feel comforted! I can succeed, but my achievements are not my own. Since Emperor Gaozu returned from Pingcheng, he has been determined to repay the Huns. Later, there was Emperor Wen and the previous emperor. He worked hard and finally achieved this success!"

The great achievements were about to be accomplished, and everyone was very happy, and they all praised them loudly. Emperor Wu of Han heard them and was happy in his heart. This contribution was just as he said, and it could not be counted on him. However, after all, it was successful when he was the emperor. How could he not be happy?

Everyone praised you and I for your words. For a moment, the praises in the hall sounded like a whole lot. It was not because they were shallow, but because of the thousand-year efforts, and everyone would be happy.

Only Zhou Yafu frowned and fell into deep thought, standing quietly beside him without saying a word.

After being happy for a while, Emperor Wu of Han and others were surprised to find Zhou Yafu's abnormality.

"Zhaohou, what are you thinking?" Emperor Wu of Han was very surprised, his eyes stopped on Zhou Yafu and looked at him.

Zhou Yafu seemed to have not heard Emperor Wu of Han's inquiry, and was still pondering. As a result, everyone became even more surprised. When the master Yan touched Zhou Yafu, he reminded him: "Tiaohou, the emperor is asking you something."

"Oh!" Zhou Yafu woke up in shock and hurriedly apologized to Emperor Wu of Han: "Emperor, I have lost my etiquette, please forgive me."

"Tell me what you think." The generous person of Emperor Wu of Han would not care about this etiquette: "In such a happy time, we are very happy, but you are thinking, what you think must be very important, and I still have to listen."

"Even if the emperor doesn't ask, I will report to the emperor." Zhou Yafu pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what I said is a bit unpleasant, so please forgive me."

"It's unpleasant? OK, it's unpleasant to speak! You said!" Emperor Wu of Han became even more interested.

"Your Majesty, it's too early to say that the number of defeats in this battle is too early!" Zhou Yafu was indeed not shocking and never stopped talking: "In my foolish opinion, the number of defeats in this battle is still unknown!"

A word was like thunder roaring in my ears, which made everyone so shocked that they opened their mouths and their eyes widened, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Judging from Zhou Yang's battle report, this battle is a sure victory, so how can there be a saying that the outcome is uncertain? However, this was said from the mouth of Zhou Yafu, a famous general of the dynasty, and everyone dared not have the idea of ​​saying it erroneously.

"How can I tell?" Emperor Wu of Han's voice was particularly loud, and his heart was pounding when he spoke to Zhou Yafu.

This was what Mr. Shen and the others were asking, all of which were staring at Zhou Yafu, his ears were erect, and he did not dare to relax at all.

"Nothing else, it's just that the Han army opened its mouth too wide and surrounded too many Huns!" Zhou Yafu began to analyze: "There are 600,000 Huns in the encirclement, and there are millions of herders. If so many people rush out, what will happen?"

After a brief pause, Emperor Wu of Han could not ask questions, and then said, "Yes, Yang'er used the Xiongnu herders to disrupt the Shanyu army's formation and make it a mess. Shanyu could not command his army. However, it was not too difficult to regroup the army."

"Oh!" A shocking voice sounded, and Mr. Shen was a little disbelief and asked, "Mr. Tiaohou, although I have never been to the battlefield or fought, I know that if it is so chaotic, it will be difficult to regroup the army!"

"Yes!" Wei Wan took the conversation and said, "Wanghou, when the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was suppressed, he was with you and galloping on the battlefield, knowing the terror of the chaotic army. If it is so chaotic, can the Shanyu reorganize his formation?"

"Master Wei, do you remember the incident of the bombing of the camp back then?" Zhou Yafu did not answer positively, but asked back.

"Tiaohou, how can I not remember such an important matter?" Wei Wan pointed to the point and said, "At that time, someone suddenly shouted, saying that the Wu army was coming. In the dark night, the soldiers were in chaos and were frightened and could not control themselves. Finally, the camp was bombed. The camp was the most terrifying thing for a large army, and it often turned into a great defeat. But you, the soldiers rushed to your couch and lifted your couch. You were still sleeping tightly, snoring like thunder. You were so calm that it affected the soldiers, and finally calmed down. Tiaohou, there was really yours, and it didn't wake you up."

What he said was a major incident in Zhou Yafu's suppression of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. If the bombing camp continued that time, the Han army would suffer heavy casualties. There were only a few Han troops, but if the casualties were too large, it would be difficult to continue. It would be much more difficult to suppress the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. What no one expected was that Zhou Yafu's snoring was actually the one who saved the Han Dynasty.

"It's not that I can sleep, I'm pretending, I didn't fall asleep at all." Zhou Yafu shook his head: "Blasting camp, so noisy, even a dead pig would wake it up. Can I fall asleep?"

"You pretend?" Everyone knew about this and exclaimed in unison.

"If I don't pretend, can they calm down?" Zhou Yafu smiled awkwardly and said, "I am not good at speaking. If I tell them that the Wu army has not come to attack the camp, I will even say it out loud and they will not believe it. It's better to pretend to sleep and snore!"

"Uh!" Everyone knew that Zhou Yafu was not good at speaking, and it was really a bit embarrassing to ask him to calm the morale of the army. It was better to snore. This was a wonderful technique, but it was too unbelievable. Everyone was so surprised that they grinded their teeth.

"Not to say, your snoring is really useful!" Wei Wan was an witness of that incident and kept nodding, "I was panicked at that time, but after hearing your snoring, I gradually calmed down. The sky fell, and with you, Tiaohou, I was no longer afraid."

"I never get tired of deceit in the army, this is the case!" Emperor Wu of Han realized something and nodded, and praised him very much: "Tiaohou, what is the relationship between this matter and the current war?"

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that the greatest role of the general is not to lead the soldiers to win, but to be stable at critical moments!" Zhou Yafu said in a wise tone: "Many generals can fight and kill, but they cannot be stable at critical moments, and finally they will be defeated. Although the Huns are hateful, the Shanyu is a shrewd, courageous and stable person. After a brief panic and helplessness, he will calm down and start to regroup his army."

"Reasonable! Reasonable!"

Everyone agreed in unison. No one dared to underestimate the talent of Junchen Shanyu, who was definitely a first-class smart man. As for his courage, let alone.

Zhou Yafu's eyes flashed: "He just needs to raise the king's flag and send people to search everywhere, and the Hun army will naturally move closer to him. In no time, the Hun army will gather together. By then, the herdsmen have already searched through Longcheng and could not find the tunnel. Yang'er's lies will have no effect. The Huns will work together to assault outwards. It is only a matter of time before the encirclement collapses."

"Hiss!" As soon as Zhou Yafu finished speaking, a cold air sounded, and Emperor Wu of Han and others were all shocked.

"Tiaohou, how can we stop the Huns from breaking through?" Wei Wan asked hurriedly.

"Difficult! Very difficult! Too difficult!"

Zhou Yafu kept shook his head, looking regretful: "The most effective way is to increase troops! However, it is too late. Even if you rush to Longcheng from the north, it will take several days. When the reinforcements arrive, the Huns will have already escaped. Moreover, the Han Dynasty has no reinforcements to be dispatched at all!"

All the 250,000 new troops trained by Zhou Yang went to Longcheng, and there was no possibility of increasing troops.

"Yang'er's best deal is to let go of the herdsmen and fight the Shanyu army!" Zhou Yafu's tiger's eyes shone brightly, his right hand clenched into a fist, and shook it hard: "In that case, although he still cannot wipe out the Huns' army, he can kill and hurt a lot, and the Huns will suffer unprecedented heavy damage! According to my opinion, after this battle, the Huns will find it difficult to recover for decades, and the Han Dynasty has time to deal with the Huns."

If the military strategy is full of force, it will be surrounded by more than twice. It is very difficult for Zhou Yang to wipe out the 600,000 troops of the Huns. It takes more than one million troops to surround the Huns. Although he has surrounded the Huns at present, it was Zhou Yang skillfully used the herdsmen to drive away the herdsmen to achieve his goal, rather than relying on the strength of the Han army.

The advantage of doing this is that it is that it is expensive and countless casualties and injuries. The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, once the Huns understand that Longcheng has no authentic tunnels, they will collapse and surround. By then, Zhou Yang's disadvantage of insufficient troops will be exposed.

In this case, Zhou Yang's best deal is to let go of the herdsmen and focus on dealing with the Shanyu army. With the strong combat power of the Han army, it was enough to severely damage the Hun army, although it might not be able to completely wipe out.

"Tiaohou, is there no other way?" Wei Wan asked unwillingly: "If nearly two million Huns are wiped out, the desert will be stable forever, and there will be no more Huns committing border affairs! If the herdsmen are allowed to escape, although the Huns cannot cause disaster in a short period of time, it will still be a big disaster!"

"Also, the Hun army will at least escape from 100,000 or 200,000, which is also a big disaster!" Zhou Yafu added and shook his head slowly: "This is the best result!"

"Why!"

Everyone sighed. However, with the troops in Zhou Yang's hands, it was already too good to do this. Although Zhou Yang implemented this battle well after careful planning, it was too difficult to wipe out two million Huns, far beyond imagination.

"I believe that my brother-in-law will definitely have a way to wipe out two million Huns!" Unlike everyone's expressions, Emperor Wu of Han was full of confidence in Zhou Yang.

"Your Majesty, that's too difficult! It's too difficult!" Zhou Yafu's head shook like a rattle: "Although I have confidence in Yang'er, it's far from manpower!"

"The reason why my brother-in-law can win forever and achieve one victory after another is because he can do what others cannot do!" Emperor Wu of Han said loudly, "I believe that my brother-in-law will have a perfect merit!"

"I am thanking the emperor on behalf of Yang'er!" Zhou Yafu's eyes rolled around, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Emperor Wu of Han.
