The Han Kingdom has been in a state of war for a long time, and many people can only get together when they report on their work every year, and they are basically on the other side of the world in peacetime.
Of course, not everyone can come back every year, for example, this time Xie Ai, who went deep into the steppe, did not come to Xiangguo, on the one hand, he was dealing with the Rouran Khan Bati, and on the other hand, he was attacking the northern part of the Tuoba Dynasty.
At this moment, the grassland is still the ice and snow season, and of course other armies cannot act rashly, otherwise there will definitely be a large number of non-combat losses, but the weather is relatively less binding on the Praetorian Guard.
To put it bluntly, the Praetorian Guard is a consumable army, and the loss will not cause the family to lose its pillars, and people who know what is going on have no worries, and probably feel that the loss is "transformed" out.
Xie Ai was still more cautious, he at least asked Liu Yan first, and got a firm reply, how much he lost would be refilled after a period of time, and there would be no worries about using the Praetorian Guard.
In the icy and snowy climate, the Praetorian Guards appeared in large groups in the north of the Tuoba Dai Kingdom, attacking one tribe after another, Tuoba Shi Yijian did not notice what was going on at first, but waited for a large number of tribes to be wiped out, and the Praetorian Guard's interaction was close enough to the temporary royal court to notice.
After all, no one will wander around in the cold, and even if the tribe is attacked and manages to escape some people, they must be able to survive the bad weather without prior preparation.
The law of not fighting in winter has long been broken by the Han army, the problem is that the Central Plains battlefield is the Central Plains, the winter of the grassland and the Central Plains are two thoughts, Tuoba Shi Yijian has no good way to keep attacking the Han army in winter, and it is a trouble to assemble herdsmen to fight the notice, and the migration or something will not be carried out because of the problem of notification.
Besides, no tribe would dare to do this when migrating in winter, even if it encounters a crisis.
The nest winter of the grassland, that is the real nest, people do not have to nest in the tent all the time, but the hooves of the livestock do not leave the circle.
Livestock is not only the property of the herdsman, but also the ration of the herdsman, their number or widowhood will determine the rise and fall of a tribe, but also affect the key to the increase or decrease of the population, really no herdsman dares to be careless.
"The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the losses of the Han army will not be small."
Even if Yan Feng's whole body was wrapped like a zongzi, the tip of his nose was still red from the cold, his hands were stretched out to roast on the edge of the charcoal fire, and he said cautiously: "It is the Praetorian Guards who fight in the snow."
This kind of army is the elite of the elite of the big man, and this kind of elite winter combat can be regarded as the big man dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. ” Of course, the Praetorian Guard is an elite, and anyone who encounters that kind of combat method that is not afraid of death will be frightened, and the Praetorian Guard is not only afraid of death, but also shows the speed and quality that an elite and strong army should have.
Tuoba Shi Yijian was indeed comforted by Yan Feng's words.
He calculated an account in his heart, with the elite level of the Han Praetorian Guard, even if the Praetorian Guard killed ten herdsmen and lost one of them, it seemed that he still took advantage of himself "Having said that, it is still necessary to do our best and speed up the matter of informing the tribes to move closer to the royal court."
Liu Qian is also dressed very thickly, but it looks more frost-resistant than Yan Feng, at least the tip of his nose is not red from being frozen: "Gathering in one place can deter the Han army from daring to attack, or if the Han army is coming, it is better to concentrate superior forces to counterattack." ” In the grasslands this winter, heavy snow and light snow are drifting in turns, and the snow in many places exceeds the height of people, at least the snow is waist-high, which is a test for going out and walking.
It was in this environment that the Han army was able to attack from a distance, what was the situation on the way, and what was the situation after receiving the enemy, Tuoba Daiguo could be sure that the Han army would definitely have a large number of non-combat losses, and it was impossible to understand why the center of the Han State was willing to use the Praetorian Guard to consume like this.
Tuoba Shi Yijian looked at the charcoal fire expressionlessly, his mood was actually extremely irritable.
It is obvious that the Han Kingdom is not a Tuoba Dynasty that can be resisted with the strength of one country, otherwise there will be no alliance of kings, isn't it true that he really knows that, so he wants to gather the strength of all countries to fight against the Han State If you want to say that you regret fighting with the Han State, Tuoba Shi Yijian has no remorse, the Han State obviously wants to sweep away the world, and the racial policy is also the two distinctions of "Han people and non-Han people".
The Hu people have ruled the Central Plains, and they not only entered the Central Plains to do evil, but also absorbed some nutrients, including knowing the history of Qin's sweep of the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, and knowing how the Six Kingdoms were destroyed.
If you do it and don't succeed, it can only be said that your efforts have not been rewarded, and if you dare to do it, you should dare to admit it, and Tuoba Shi Yijian is not so stupid as not to accept reality.
He worked hard, and when he found that he couldn't do anything, he immediately adjusted his focus, and if he couldn't defeat the Han army, he couldn't stay far away, and he could always avoid the development of the more northern region.
"It's a pity" Tuoba Shi Yijian still had no expression on his face: "Sending envoys did not make King Han hesitate. ” It's about the matter of not being able to repair and pretending to surrender, Tuoba Daiguo did that purely to try, and he didn't have much confidence in repairing, and he was a minister who had a little hope, but he didn't expect to even delay it for a while.
"The king of Han must have a deep hatred for this king."
Tuoba Shi Yijian finally had an expression on his face, which was a kind of self-deprecation or mockery: "This king still has a large amount of money, and he also advocates that the alliance form an anti-Han alliance, but the alliance of kings has not been completed. ” What could Yan Feng and Liu Qian say, they could only look at the charcoal fire in a daze and be silent.
There is also a princess of the Tuoba family who is the concubine of the Han Kingdom, in fact, many courtiers have suggested that Tuoba Shi Yijian take the pillow wind route, the problem is that Tuoba Shi Yijian knows very well who his sister is, and he didn't even try it.
Tuoba Shi Yijian didn't do it because he knew that he couldn't do it at all, and then how relieved he was that the Tuoba clan would not really break the bloodline no matter how unfortunate it was, on the contrary, because Tuoba Xiu became Liu Yan's concubine, the Tuoba clan would at least have the bloodline fused into the Han royal family, and maybe there would be some benefits in the future because of this matter.
"The snow is too deep, and it is difficult to communicate" Yan Feng changed the topic and said, "It is probably confirmed that there should be more than 200,000 people who followed the migration to the north. ” The interconnection of the steppe is a big problem, and Tuoba Shiyijian's decision to migrate northward was prepared in advance, but there are still a considerable number of tribes who have not been notified, which is directly related to the nomadic people's inhabitation.
Although the Tuoba Dynasty is a country, there are only a few cities, and the capital city Shengle is one of them.
Shengle is the only city built by the Tuoba Dynasty, like Pingcheng, Daewoo, Chicheng and some cities called the surrender city, which are basically left over from the previous dynasty.
It's not that kind of settlement model, which makes it impossible for Tuoba Daiguo to do the census, and the number of people can basically only be guessed, and the approximate number should be six or seven hundred thousand people in the country "Now I only hope that the attention of the Han will be focused on the Liang Kingdom" Liu Qian knew very well what he was talking about, and there were many words of comfort, or he couldn't help but let the guards not appear in the northern part of the Tuoba Dynasty: "We have survived this cold winter, and we will invade Rouran immediately after the beginning of spring, and we can open up the situation by fighting and raising war." ” That's right, Tuoba Shi Yijian is already planning to give up Mo Nan, he really thinks it's too dangerous to be close to the Han Kingdom, or the farther away the better.
In recent years, it has entered the Xiaoice period, and the closer to the North Pole, the more natural disasters have become, but Tuoba Shiyijian would rather fight against the weather than fight with the extremely powerful Han State.
His idea is that no matter how serious the natural disaster is, there is still hope to carry the past, and when the weather improves, he occupies the territory of the Rouran people for cultivation and recuperation, and one day Tuoba Xianbei will go south again, and it is difficult to say whether the Han Kingdom is still strong at that time, and there must be a day of revenge.
"We have suffered heavy losses" Yan Feng smiled bitterly, and said, "Liangguo is dying." ” The Zhang clan did not formally establish the state during the Zhang Jun period, but respected the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as Zhengshuo, the title was the Duke of Liang, and the official position was the Assassin of Liangzhou and the Governor of the Great Capital.
The formal establishment of Zhang's Liangguo was done by Zhang Chonghua.
In the original history, not long after Zhang Chonghua succeeded to the throne, when the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still alive, he changed Zhang Jun's national policy and no longer respected the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After he founded the country, of course, he immediately fought with the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and soon suffered from the invasion of the Shiqi Zhao State, and it was Xie Ai who led the army to defeat the Shiqi Zhao army three times before the Zhang Liang State stood firm after the founding of the country, not saying that the founding of the country was destroyed immediately.
In this changed version of history, Zhang Chonghua was founded only after the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Han State, and did not encounter many problems in the original history.
Tuoba Shi Yijian was about to say something, but someone opened the tent door and let a cold wind blow in.
"King, a large Han army was found twenty miles away" "This" Yan Feng Huodi stood up: "The Han army was able to get so close to the royal court" This temporary royal court of the Tuoba Dynasty is not close to Rouran Mountain, and there are also a large number of tribes on the periphery, so what should the peripheral tribes be cleaned up to, so that the Han army can get close to within twenty miles "Quantity" Tuoba Shi Yijian also stood up, but he was not so flustered.
The person who came to report was Podoro Eli, who was now a captain of ten thousand people, mainly serving as a royal court guard, and replied: "It has been found that it is more than ten thousand, and I don't know if there is anything behind." ” There is nothing to say, since the Han army is coming, Tuoba Shi Yijian can only gather the army, whether to rise up and go out to drive out, or to wait for the judgment of the situation, that is two words.
The Han State is strong, and the repeated purges have caused the population of the Great Dynasty to plummet, Tuoba Shi Yijian is wearing armor with the help of many maids, but he is thinking in his mind: if he can annihilate the invading Han army, it may play a deterrent role, so that the Han army does not dare to invade again Wang Ting, of course, is the place where the largest number of people gathered, and after a few horns sounded, the samurai came out of the various tents, and soon gathered into a large army.
The winter consumption is the grain and horse material stored before, the national strength of the Tuoba Dynasty is not strong, and the number of material reserves is limited, but it is not short of the royal court guards, and the state of the army and horses pulled out is at least much better than that of ordinary tribes.
Tuoba Shi Yijian repeatedly confirmed the military information transmitted back from the front, and found that the Han army did not directly attack the royal court, and it was very irregular to catch whoever was killed, so he asked Yan Feng: "What does the Han army mean by this move?"

"The scouts have been dispatched, and they have not found any other Han troops around for the time being."
Yan Feng could guess what Tuoba Shi Yijian wanted to do, but he couldn't say it too surely: "If there are only more than 10,000 Han troops, the king may be able to fight, but I am afraid that it will be a fraud."
Tuoba Shi Yijian is worried about fraud, otherwise he would not hesitate.
He chose to continue to wait, and more and more information was gathered, and it was confirmed that there were really only more than 10,000 Han troops within dozens of miles around, and many of his tribes were either destroyed or scattered, and many tribes had spontaneously moved closer to the royal court, but they could not hesitate any longer.
"Set off 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 be cleared of snow, waiting for Tuoba Shi Yijian to approach the Han army with more than 30,000 Wang Ting troops, and from a distance, he saw that a medium-sized tribe was already in danger.
Tribal habitats, snow and so on will definitely be cleared, and it won't be like the wilderness.
It can be seen that there are obvious traces on the northwest side of the attacked tribe, which is the passage where people and horses have trampled out.
It was obvious that there had been a very tragic offensive and defensive battle near the passage, and there were quite a lot of ambushes on the ground, which also proved that the Han army was close enough to be discovered by the tribe's people, otherwise the traces of the battle would not be so close to the tribe.
"There is no doubt that it is confirmed to be the Great Han Praetorian Guard."
Yan Feng said this because the Praetorian Guard was the only unit in the Han army that did not have a banner, and he said to Tuoba Shi Yijian: "Great King, the tribe is still resisting, and the snow around is too thick, so you only need to block the passage when the Han army comes, and you can surround the Han army in the future." ” Tuoba Shi Yijian had a telescope, and he was carefully observing with his eyes, and found that the attacking Han army was actually a coordinated infantry and cavalry, and the number of infantry troops was even more than that of the cavalry, and most of them were lightly armed pikemen.
Tuoba Shi Yijian's face was very bad, and a series of military orders were issued, followed by gritted teeth: "It is bound to annihilate this enemy army" The reality is like that, in the grassland with serious snow, there is no such thing as cavalry mobility faster than infantry, all of them need to wade through the snow to hurry, and at the same time, the feeding of cavalry's war horses will be a big problem, and it is indeed more suitable to use infantry than cavalry in winter to fight in the grassland.
That's the thing, Tuoba Shi Yijian is still angry, there is nothing to dispute about the strength of the Han State, and the Tuoba Dynasty is indeed inferior to the Han State, but when it comes to attack, it is more or less a bully to the point of rubbing his nose and face:
