The state of Han has been in a state of war for a long time. Many people can get together only when they report on their work every year. Usually, they are basically on each side of the world.
Of course, not everyone can come back every year. For example, Xie AI, who went deep into the grassland this time, did not come to Xiangguo. On the one hand, he was dealing with Rouran Khan Bati, on the other hand, he was harassing the north of tuobatai.
At this moment, the grassland is still in the ice and snow season. Of course, other armies can't act rashly, otherwise there will be a large number of non combat casualties, but the weather has less binding force on the forbidden guards.
To put it bluntly, the forbidden guard is a consuming arm. The loss will not lead to the loss of the backbone of a family. People who know what's going on have no worries. They probably think it's just to "change" after the loss.
Xie AI was still cautious. He asked Liu Yan at least first and got a definite reply. The loss will be replenished after a period of time, and there will be no concern about using the forbidden guard.
In the icy and snowy climate, the forbidden guards appeared in the north of Tuoba Dai country and attacked one nest winter tribe after another. At first, Tuoba shiyijian didn't find anything wrong. He waited for a large number of tribes to be destroyed, and the interaction of the forbidden guards was close enough to the temporary court. After all, no one will wander in the cold. Even if the tribe is attacked and successfully escapes some people, they must be able to withstand the bad weather without prior preparation.
The law of no war in winter has long been broken by the Han army. The problem is that the battlefield in the Central Plains is the Central Plains. There are two regrets about the winter of the grassland and the Central Plains. Tuoba shiyijian has no good way to attack the Han Army in winter. Gathering herdsmen's battle notice is a trouble, and the relocation will not be carried out because of the problem of notice. In addition, when migrating in winter, even if there is another crisis, no tribe will dare to do so.
The nest winter on the grassland is the real nest. People don't have to nest in the tent all the time, but livestock can't leave the circle. Herding animals are not only the property of herdsmen, but also the rations of herdsmen. Their number will determine the rise and fall of a tribe, and it is also the key to the increase or decrease of population. No herdsman dares to be careless.
"In the cold war, the loss of the Han army will not be small." Even if Yan Feng's whole body is wrapped like zongzi, his nose is still red with cold. His hands are baked by the charcoal fire. He carefully said, "it is the forbidden guards who fight in the snow. This kind of arms is the elite of the elite of the Han Dynasty. In order to fight in winter, it can be regarded as a big Han dog jumping off the wall."
Of course, the forbidden guards are elite. Anyone who encounters the fierce and fearless way of fighting will be afraid. The forbidden guards are not only fierce and fearless in fighting, but also show the speed and quality of an elite and strong army.
Tuoba shiyijian was indeed comforted by Yanfeng's words. He calculated an account in his mind. According to the elite level of the Han forbidden guards, even if the forbidden guards killed ten herdsmen and lost one of them, it seems that his own side took advantage of it?
"Having said that, we should try our best to speed up the process of informing the tribes to move closer to the king's court." Liu Qian is also dressed very thick. It seems that he is more frost resistant than Yan Feng. At least he has not been red at the tip of his nose: "concentrating one place can deter the Han army from attacking, or it is better to concentrate superior forces to counterattack."
In this winter's grassland, heavy snow and light snow float in turn. The snow in many places exceeds people's height, or at least the waist, which is a test for walking outside.
It was in this environment that the Han army was able to make a long-distance attack. What was the situation on the March and what was the situation after receiving the enemy? Tuoba Dai country can be sure that the Han army will certainly have a large number of non combat casualties. It is impossible to understand how the Han Center was willing to consume the forbidden guards like this.
Tuoba Shiyi Jian looked at the charcoal fire with an expressionless face. In fact, his mood was extremely irritable.
It is obvious that the state of Han is not Tuoba, which can resist with the power of one country. Otherwise, there will be no alliance among kings. Don't you really know that and want to gather the power of all countries to resist the state of Han?
To regret the war with the state of Han, Tuoba shiyijian has no regrets at all. The state of Han obviously wants to sweep the world. The racial policy is also a distinction between "Han people and non Han people". Do you want to wait until the states are destroyed and die alone without taking advantage of the fact that they are still joining the resistance camp?
The Hu people have ruled the Central Plains. They not only entered the Central Plains to commit crimes, but also learned some nutrition, including knowing the history of the eight wastelands and Six Harmonies swept by the Qin Dynasty and how the six countries were destroyed.
It can only be said that the efforts have not been rewarded. If you dare to do it, you should dare to admit it. Tuoba shiyijian is not dazzled to the point of not accepting the reality. He tried hard and found that things could not be done. He immediately adjusted his focus. However, the Han army could not stay far away. He could always avoid further north.
"What a pity..." Tuoba shiyijian still had no expression on his face: "sending envoys did not make the king of Han hesitate."
What he said was that he could not fix it and pretended to surrender. Tuoba daiguo did that just to try. He didn't have much confidence in fixing it. To be a minister was to hold a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect to delay it for a while.
"The king of Han must hate him deeply." Tuoba shiyijian finally had an expression on his face, which was a kind of self mockery or ridicule: "my king still dragged a large sum of money and advocated the alliance to form an anti Han alliance, but the alliance of Kings did not succeed."
What can Yanfeng and Liu Qian say? They could only stare at the charcoal fire and keep silent.
Another Princess of the Tuoba family is a virtuous imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty. In fact, many ministers have suggested that Tuoba shiyijian take the pillow wind route. The problem is that Tuoba shiyijian knows who his sister is and doesn't even try.
Tuoba shiyijian didn't do it because he knew that he couldn't do it at all. What's more, he was so happy that the Tuoba family would never really break their blood. On the contrary, it was because Tuoba Xiu became Liu Yan's virtuous concubine. At least, the Tuoba family would integrate their blood into the Han Royal family. Maybe it would be beneficial in a long time.
"... the snow is too deep and it's difficult to contact..." Yan Feng changed the topic and said, "it's probably confirmed that there should be more than 200000 people following the northward migration."
It is a big problem to connect with each other on the grassland. Tuoba shiyijian made preparations for the northward migration, but still a considerable number of tribes did not receive notice, which is directly related to the uncertain ownership of nomadic peoples.
Although Tuoba Dynasty is a country, there are only a few cities, and Shengle, the capital, is one of them. Shengle is the only city built by Tuoba on behalf of the state, such as Pingcheng, Daewoo, Chicheng... And some cities called surrender cities, which are basically left over from the previous dynasty.
It is not the settlement mode, which makes the Tuoba generation country unable to do the census. How many people can only be guessed. The approximate figure should be 6.7 million people in the country?
"Now I just hope that the great man's attention will focus on the cool country..." Liu Qian knows what he's talking about. Most of the comforting words are. He can't help but that the guards won't appear in the north of Tuoba Dai country: "we've endured this cold winter and invaded Rouran immediately after the beginning of spring. We can fight, raise and open up the situation."
There's nothing wrong. Tuoba shiyijian has planned to give up Monan. He really thinks it's too dangerous to be close to the Han country. The farther away he is, the better.
In recent years, it has entered the little ice age. The closer it is to the Arctic, the more natural disasters continue. However, Tuoba shiyijian would rather fight with the weather than break the wrist with the Han country in the extremely prosperous period. His idea is that no matter how serious the natural disaster is, he still has the hope to carry the past. If the weather gets better and occupies the territory of Rouran people for cultivation and rest, one day Tuoba Xianbei will go south again. At that time, it is difficult to say whether the Han country was strong or not. It must be the day of revenge.
"We suffered heavy losses..." Yanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Liang country is going to die."
Zhang's family did not formally establish a state during Zhang Jun's period. They respected the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as zhengshuo, the title was Liang Gong, and the official position was the governor of Liangzhou. Zhang Chonghua did the official establishment of Zhang's Liang state.
In the original history, not long after Zhang Chonghua succeeded to the throne, when the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still alive, he changed Zhang Jun's national policy and no longer respected the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He first named himself the cool king, and then officially established the country. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, of course, he immediately made enemies with the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and soon suffered the invasion of Shi Jie Zhao. It was Xie AI who led the army to defeat Shi Jie Zhao three times that made Zhang Liangguo stand firm after the founding of the people's Republic of China. It was not said that the founding of the people's Republic of China was immediately destroyed.
In this changed version of history, Zhang Chonghua was founded after the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the state of Han. He did not encounter many problems in the original history. Xie AI became the Han general who captured Zhang Chonghua.
Tuoba shiyijian wanted to say something, but someone opened the account door and let a cold wind blow in.
"Your Majesty, I found a large number of Han troops twenty miles away!"
"This......" Yanfeng Huodi stood up: "the Han army can be so close to the king's court
The temporary imperial court of Tuoba Dynasty is not close to Rouran mountain. There are also a large number of tribes in the periphery. What should the peripheral tribes be cleaned up to make the Han Army close to within 20 Li?
"Quantity?" Tuoba shiyijian also stood up, but he didn't panic.
The person who came to report was paodoroeli. Now he is a ten thousand captain, mainly serving as the king's court guard. He replied: "what has been found is more than ten thousand. I don't know if there is any more behind."
There's nothing to say. Since the Han army came to kill the generals, Tuoba shiyijian only had to assemble the army. Whether to get up and go out to drive them out, or to be ready to judge the situation, that's two theories.
[the Han state is strong and has been purged again and again, which has greatly reduced the population of the great generation...] Tuoba shiyijian wears armor with the help of many maids, but his mind is full of thinking: [if he can annihilate the invading Han Army, it may serve as a deterrent and make the Han Army dare not invade again!]
Wang Ting, of course, is the place with the largest number of people. After several horns sounded, all tents drilled out of warriors and soon gathered into a large army.
The consumption in winter is the grain, fodder and horse materials stored before. The national strength of Tuoba generation country is not strong, and the quantity of material reserves is limited, but it can not be short of Wangting guards. The state of the army people and horses pulled out is at least much better than that of ordinary tribes.
Tuoba shiyijian repeatedly confirmed the military information sent back from the front. He found that the Han Army did not directly attack the king's court. He caught who was killed irregularly, so he asked Yanfeng: "what does the Han Army mean by this move?"
"The reconnaissance cavalry has been dispatched. For the time being, they have not found another Han Army around." Yanfeng can guess what Tuoba shiyijian wants to do, but she can't say it too firmly: "if only the more than 10000 Han troops, the king may go to war, I'm afraid... There's fraud?"
Tuoba shiyijian is worried about fraud, otherwise he won't hesitate. He chose to wait. More and more information gathered. It was confirmed that there were only tens of thousands of Han troops around. Many of his own tribes were either destroyed or scattered. Many tribes had spontaneously moved closer to the king's court, but there was no further hesitation.
"Let's go and destroy this rampant Han Army!"
The grassland can be used as a road everywhere in other seasons, but the grassland in winter needs to clear the snow. Waiting for Tuoba shiyijian to bring more than 30000 Wang tingjun close to the Han Army, what we can see from a distance is that a medium-sized tribe is already in danger.
Tribal habitats and snow will certainly be cleared, not like the wilderness. It can be seen that there are obvious traces on the northwest side of the attacked tribe, which is the passage through which people and horses wade out.
It is obvious that there are a lot of corpses lying on the ground near the channel after a very fierce offensive and defensive war. It also proves that the Han army is close enough to be found by the tribe, otherwise the traces of the war will not be so close to the tribe.
"There is no doubt that it is the Han forbidden guards." Yan Feng would say this because the forbidden guards are the only troops without banners in the Han army. He said to Tuoba shiyijian, "king, the tribe is still resisting, and the surrounding snow is too thick. You can surround the Han Army in the future by blocking the passage when the Han army comes."
Tuoba shiyijian has a single telescope. He is observing carefully with his eyes. He finds that the invading Han army is coordinated by walking and riding. The number of walking troops is even more than riding troops, and most of them are light armed long spearmen.
"..." Tuoba shiyijian's face was very bad. A series of military orders were issued, followed by biting his teeth: "it is bound to wipe out the enemy!"
The reality is that there is no saying that cavalry mobility is faster than infantry on the grassland with heavy snow. They all need to wade through the snow. At the same time, the feeding of cavalry horses will be a big problem. It is indeed more appropriate to use infantry than cavalry in grassland combat in winter.
The thing is, Tuoba shiyijian is still very angry. There is nothing to dispute about the strength of the Han country. Tuoba Dai country is indeed not as good as the Han country, but it is bullying people to rub their nose and face when they attack with troops dominated by infantry!
