Sure enough, after Zhao Hu's narration, the people around him were all shocked, even Zhang Yan and Pei Yuanshao, who had done copycat killings and looting, as well as Gao Shun and Ji Ling, who had killed countless enemy generals on the battlefield, couldn't help frowning, and shuddered.Xun Yu hated and said: "How can there be such a cruel death in this world, it is a hundred times more cruel than that king and Dong Zhuo." ”"Such a thing does exist, and sooner or later, our soldiers and civilians will avenge this blood and sweat.Okay, let's not talk about this, let's get down to business, this time the foreign invasion, I have the confidence to command this war. ”After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu very seriously.Perhaps feeling Zhao Hu's strength and confidence, Xun Yu said with relief this time: "If the Taigong is like this, then Xun Yu has no choice but to obey, and I hope that the Taigong will be more cautious, this is the talisman that the lord gave me before leaving, and now I will hand it over to you, and I will ask the Taigong to repel the great task of Wu Huan." ”After that, Xun Yu took out a small brocade box from his sleeve, which was filled with a talisman that could mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou.After Zhao Hu took the talisman, he said: "When Jizhou was still Yuan Shao's force, I led the army to fight and had contact with the Huns. ”Xun Yu immediately spoke: "Wuhuan people are a branch of the Donghu tribal alliance, with the characteristics of the life of the Donghu people, grazing with water and grass, living in impermanence, taking the dome as the house, opening to the sun in the east, eating meat and drinking cheese, taking wool as clothing, brave and good at fighting.The place where the original Wuhuan people lived was called Karasuma River, that is, from Xilamu in the west, that is, from the east of the Xilamulun River in the west, to the south of the Wulijimuren River and the Xinkai River, to the west of the Taoer River, and to the north of the Xiliao River.During this period, the Wuhuan people were weak and controlled by the Huns, and became the efforts of the Huns, who lost cattle, horses, and sheepskins, and did not pay them when they were outdated, and confiscated their wives, so the Wuhuan people often resisted the enslavement and oppression of the Huns, but they were brutally suppressed by the Huns. ”Later, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated Kuannu, the Huns were defeated and fled into Mobei, only to liberate the Wuhuan people from the oppression of the Huns, and also moved the Wuhuan people south to Liaoxi, Liaodong, Youbeiping, Shanggu, Yuyang Saiwai 5 counties, to accept the protection of the Western Han Dynasty.Wuhuan people continue to grow and develop, and by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have developed into 10 counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu, Guangyang, Dai, Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shuofangbiansai, especially the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Youbeiping, and Wuhuan are stronger. ”In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Mang adopted a policy of discrimination, oppression and enslavement against the Wuhuan people during his reign, forced the Wuhuan people to participate in the war against the Huns, and also took the wives and children of the participants as hostages, forcing the Wuhuan people to fight with the Huns.The Wuhuan people could not bear it, so they rebelled and robbed the Han counties along the way, Wang Mang ordered the counties to kill all the seized Wuhuan hostages, and the Wuhuan people and Wang Mang formed a grudge.They rode fast horses, traveled lightly, set off from the grassland in the morning, and arrived at the border city of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the evening.During this period, not only were the Eastern Han army repeatedly defeated by Wuhuan, but even the Huns were killed by Wuhuan and migrated thousands of miles north.Because the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry could not be defeated, Emperor Guangwu bribed Wuhuan with money and property to let Wuhuan return. ”As a result, more than 900 Wuhuan leaders in various counties led by Hao Dan, the most powerful Wuhuan lord in Liaoxi, were attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty.This time, they moved south deeper into the Central Plains, and not only the north of the eastern section of the Outer Great Wall, but also the Wuhuan people north of the middle section of the Outer Great Wall also entered the south of the Great Wall.The distribution area also extended westward to the Inner Mongolia Hetao.Since then, the Wuhuan tribe and the Eastern Han Dynasty have basically maintained a state of balance in which nothing happens.Later, all the counties of Youzhou have turquoise horses, among which Yuyang and Shanggu are the most famous in the country, and most of the Wuhuan people in these counties are composed of Wuhuan people who moved to the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong and Youbeiping, and the war horses are also from the hinterland of the Horqin grassland Liaoxi and Liaodong County. ”Gao Shun said with some anger: "This group of guys, who followed my Han and recovered, are now rebelling, and their hearts can be punished." ”Xun Yu said quietly: "This Wuhuan clan is extremely good at bow and arrow skills and equestrianism, especially the Wuhuan iron cavalry is very good, once called the world's famous cavalry, it is difficult to resist with my Han iron cavalry alone, and it is even more difficult for our infantry to be the enemy." ”"The cavalry of these Wuhuan thieves is so powerful, since this is the case, they can't clash head-on, they can only outwit."
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, Xun Yu was slightly stunned when he saw it, and he felt that Zhao Hu's expression was very familiar, and then he remembered the smile that the lord Zhao Yu often showed when he came up with clever ideas in hostility.Pei Yuanshao echoed on the side: "Could it be that Taigong has already come up with a way to win" Zhao Hu said softly: "I dare not say that I will win, at most it is just some small schemes and small strategies, I still have to look at the battlefield." ”Xun Yu responded: "Well, it's okay, we should go to the scene to check and see if there is a suitable terrain for combat." ”Then, everyone's conference room was moved to Yangle under Xun Yu's arrangement, and standing in the city gate tower looking at the vast land below, everyone's thoughts became heavy.You must know that the wide terrain is more suitable for cavalry combat, and the Wuhuan cavalry is a famous horse in the world today, which can be described as unique.If there was still a white horse to suppress when Gongsun Chan was in the past, he was once beaten by Gongsun Chan from Jixian County to the area of western Liaoning, because the lone army went too deep, but was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in western Liaoning for more than 200 days, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and Qiu Liju was also exhausted and tired, and left Liucheng.But now after Gongsun Chan was destroyed, the Wuhuan cavalry became arrogant again, but there was a little Wuhuan thief who forgot, "Lord Xun, didn't Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yi have exterminated the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry many times Although Gongsun Chan is dead, but Bai Ma Yi is never still there, and this battle with Wuhuan can come in handy." ”Pei Yuanshao suddenly spoke.Xun Yu said quietly: "You are right, Bai Ma Yicong used to be the nemesis of Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, since the death of Gongsun Zhan, Bai Ma Yicong was adopted by the lord and General Zilong, and was reorganized into the White Tiger Cavalry, which was under the command of General Zilong.If this white tiger horse is not personally led by General Zilong and the lord, it will be difficult to exert its maximum strength, and Xun Yu is afraid that the loss will damage the foundation of the lord. ”Zhang Yan echoed: "In this case, your Excellency might as well send a letter to inform General Zilong to return quickly." ”"Everyone, don't worry, I have already sent someone to send a letter to General Zilong, presumably in a few days, General Zilong will return, but in the next few days, we have to take precautions, so as not to attack Wuhuan and minimize the losses, and a few generals must guard Youzhou well."
Xun Yu said that he saluted a few people, which made everyone couldn't help but panic.Gao Shun immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord Xun doesn't need to be polite, I will take refuge in the lord and make an oath to follow the lord to the death, now the lord is not in Youzhou, it is our duty to defend the territory of the lord, we will definitely defend each other to the death, and never let those Wuhuan thieves step into my Youzhou." ”"Okay, you are all too rigorous, you can be so dedicated to my family Yu'er, I Zhao Hu is grateful, now General Zilong has not returned, and the Wuhuan thief is ready to move, the comparison is to see if we can hold on until General Zilong's reinforcements arrive.However, in order to prevent it, we should do something, first, to hit the enemy's morale, so as to improve the morale of our army, and second, to delay the enemy's attack, and when General Zilong returns, we will go out of the city to give those Wuhuan thieves a hard lesson.During this period, we can avoid friction and avoid friction, which is the most likely way to reduce casualties. ”Zhao Hu's words made everyone nod their heads in praise.After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he pointed to the plain land in front of him again and said: "Don't look at the bare wilderness plain in front of you, which is not conducive to fighting with the cavalry, but if we set up an ambush, we will definitely be able to serve as an elite army to deal a head-on blow to those Wuhuan cavalry." ”Following the direction of Zhao Hu's finger, everyone looked at the wilderness plain one by one in a daze, completely unsure of how to set up an ambush, Xun Yu thought for a while and said: "Taigong wants to set a trap" Zhao Hu nodded and said: "It is worthy of Xun Yu, this wilderness plain is at the end at a glance, if it is a hidden ambush, it will definitely not work, if this trap is the best policy, our army can order the sergeants to divide into arrays, and each group of 100 sergeants will dig horse pits on this plain."
This trap is different from the usual trap pit, it needs to be criss-crossed, left and right, so that after the enemy's front army falls into the pit, it is difficult for the rear army to explore the location of other trap pits and appear passive, and one point must be noted, to dig two different pits, one is the trap pit, the other is that the pit is buried with a large amount of oil, so as to attack by fire. ”Lu Lingqi was originally a cavalry general, and she knew very well about the advantages of cavalry, and immediately said: "The horse pit is indeed a big obstacle for the cavalry, but this time the enemy cavalry is numerous, I am afraid that the horse pit will not be able to cause any resistance to tens of thousands of cavalry, and it will not be able to effectively resist the attack of the enemy cavalry." ”Zhao Hu explained: "Any terrain can create traps and mazes, as long as they can stand on the terrain, those traps and mazes are like a male army attacking the enemy." ”Xun Yu also continued: "Fire oil is buried in the pit, does Taigong want to win with fire" Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said: "No, fire attack is just a disguise, I use it as a cage for trapped beasts, and if you want to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry in the cage, you need our infantry." ”"What infantry against the Wuhuan cavalry" "It's simply impossible. ”Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, there was a lot of discussion around him, no matter who he was, he would not believe that the combat ability of the infantry could defeat the cavalry, especially against the Wuhuan cavalry, which was one of the best in the Han Dynasty
