"Dare to tell Duwei, the customs of the Huns, when the water and grass are abundant in summer, people and animals are concentrated on grazing by the lake and water.On the eve of winter, they move to the winter pastures, and generally live in the foothills, because the grass on the mountains withers late, and there are still things in the forest. ”In the largest room in the Buguang Barrier, Chen Pengzu went in and said good things to Ren Hong for a long time, and only then did the central lieutenant agree to see him again.The central governor is surnamed Kong, about the same age as Fu Jiezi, more than forty, with a national face, and the official frame is quite big, after all, he is a feudal official of more than 2,000 stones.He is not dressed like a military attaché, but more like an official, wearing a Jinxian crown on his head, wearing a robe, looking at the lamp decoration in the room, a tall copper lamp stand, and the utensils must use good lacquerware, he is a person who will enjoy life Although he saw him when Ren Hong reported Ling Husui last time, Kong Duwei obviously didn't remember him very much, and he hated Ren Hong, a hero who had just beheaded several Hulu, and his attitude was also cold.Ren Hong said below, and Kong Duwei knelt down behind the case, looking at Jian Mu with self-care.Looking at this posture, Ren Hong also felt that he was a little reckless to come to see him, but he could only stubbornly continue: "The same is true of the right plough of the Xiongnu in Beishan, which is adjacent to Dunhuang, grazing in the Beishan valley in summer, and going to Horsehair Mountain to shoot in winter. ”But now, the Xiongnu are doing the opposite, and the prince of the right plough king will gather the young and strong and bring them to the outside of the fortress, and attack the beacon every day.There must be a demon when things go wrong, and such a thing that goes against its nomadic nature is very big for the Huns!
”"Oh?
But tell me, what is the plan of the Hulu?
”Kong Duwei put down the slip and glanced at Ren Hong for the first time after entering the door.Ren Hongdao: "The subordinates heard that when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, he wanted to make the champion Hou attack the right part of the Xiongnu and take the land west of the river, so he first asked Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, and Li Guang to lead more than 10,000 people to ride out of the right Beiping and attack the Zuoxian Wang's department, so as to attract the main force of the Xiongnu in Shan Yuting to move eastward. ”"And the champion Hou took the opportunity to go out of the north, enter the west of the river, break the Huns, capture the kings and the households, princes, and more than 100 clans, annihilate 30,000 enemies, and the evil king of Hun and the king of Hutu led the remnants of the army to flee.""
At that time, the Han army was attacking the east and the west, and now, the Xiongnu may also want to use this strategy, the sound of the west and the east, and disturb Dunhuang, in fact, maybe they want to attract the Jiuquan garrison to move west to Dunhuang, so that the real army can attack Zhangye and Wuwei in the east!"
Geographically, the Hexi Corridor is long and narrow, like a left hand of the Han Dynasty reaching out to the west: Zhang Guo's arm to lead to the Western Regions!
Wuwei is an elbow and is closely connected to the inner county.Zhangye is the arm and wrist, while Juyansai is like a thumb up, stretching into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, which is the focus of Hexi's defense.Jiuquan is like a palm, connecting the upper and lower.The four governors of Dunhuang County are like four fingers: Yihe is the index finger, the central commander is the middle finger, the Yumen commander is the ring finger, and the Yangguan commander is the little finger.This hand is trying to stretch out, wanting to snatch the girl from the Western Regions who can sing and dance from the Huns, a wicked husband who often engages in domestic violence!
But if the Xiongnu could cut off the elbow and wrist, the whole hand would be abolished, and the Han Dynasty's strategy for the Western Regions would fail.Ren Hong is a student of history, remember the history books, in the past two years, there was a battle in Hexi, because the Han army learned the news that the Xiongnu were going to attack, made preparations in advance, closed the door and beat the dogs, and won a great victory.It's a pity that the battle was in Zhangye, thousands of miles away, and it had nothing to do with Dunhuang.It is very common to make mistakes in the year in the history books, so in front of Fu Jiezi before, Ren Hong did not mention this matter, but now looking at the posture of the Huns harassing Dunhuang, it is too obvious.In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led the Han Dynasty's good army to Mobei, concentrated the main force to attack, and wiped out several generals, and accepted a large number of elite armor soldiers of the Han army by the way.But when it comes to playing strategy, the Huns are really a younger brother, and painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, which makes people want to laugh, and it is estimated that he is not the only one who can see it.Ren Hong believes that the attack of the Huns will inevitably start before winter!
And now, hearing Ren Hong say this, Captain Kong was a little surprised on his face, and glanced at Captain Changshi under the hall.The commander of the capital immediately straightened his face and reprimanded the responsible Hong: "So you want the commander to report to the court because of your speculation by a little flint?"
”Ren Hong had already captured the surprise of Kong Duwei, and became more and more sure that Dunhuang might have received information that the Xiongnu were about to attack Zhangye, so it would be much easier to do, so he lowered his head and said: "Don't dare, I just think that if the Xiongnu really use troops like this, Dunhuang may be able to make achievements in this battle, and if Duwei can seize the opportunity, he may be able to make a meritorious feat of being a feudal marquis!"
”Speaking of this, Kong Duwei became a little interested: "Then you should talk about it, if Hu Lu wants to fight Jiuquan and Zhangye, how can Dunhuang be mixed in?"
”"Attack its lair!"
Ren Hong offered advice: "If the Xiongnu Right Xian King concentrates the forces of the kings and wants to attack Zhangye and other places, Beishan will inevitably be empty, and only the two thousand horsemen who come to disturb Dunhuang will remain. ”"The captain may be able to write to Dunhuang Taishou, and the soldiers of the two captains of the central and Yihe regions, with thousands of people carrying dry food, first suddenly attack, break the Hun Hu cavalry outside the Saiwai, and then run for five hundred miles, and go straight to the right plough of the horsehair mountain!"
Horsehair Mountain is more than 200 kilometers away from Dunhuang, which is really not far compared to Wei Huo's thousands of kilometers of rushing at every turn.Ren Hong thought about this matter for a few days, and even found a guide: "The person named Zhao Han'er is familiar with the spring water and rivers of Beishan, and last month he captured Feng Xuan, a slave of the Suo clan who escaped back from Beishan, and he is making meritorious contributions, so he can use the two of them as guides." ”"If Du Wei can take the old nest of the Right Plough King in Horsehair Mountain in one fell swoop and capture its population, cattle and sheep, it will be no less than the great victory of Changping Hou Wei Qinglong City!
It can also use the horsehair mountain as a barrier to completely eliminate the threat of the Xiongnu to Dunhuang County!
”"It is really a double win to even occupy the Xingxing Gorge, set up pavilion barriers, build roads, and open up the road from Dunhuang to Yiwuhami City in the Western Regions!"
Hanging Springs allowed Ren Hong to learn to "wait", while Po Sui and the Great Wall let Ren Hong learn what to "guard".But it's useless to just guard, if you want to make Hu Lu no longer able to intrude on Biansai, and if you want Song Wan and others not to die in vain, there is only one way: take the initiative!
Ren Hong dared to assert that if the central governor adopted his strategy, this battle would be successful, Dunhuang County would have peace for at least one generation, and the Han Dynasty's management of the Western Regions would be accelerated by at least ten years!
This is the real "Zhang Guo's arm"!
The opportunity comes once in ten years, if it is missed, the Huns fill this gap, and it will be endless confrontation and tug-of-war.However, after Ren Hong's generous statement, Kong Duwei thought for a while, but he was not overjoyed and gladly accepted by Ren Hong, but asked coldly: "Your name is Ren Hong?"
”"Exactly."
Kong Duwei's kind smile was full of disapproval: "Ren Hong, do you think you are a smart person in this world?"
”Then he taught Ren Honglai in turn: "You can know that there are three kinds of dogs, one is a field dog, and a field is a rabbit."
The two bark dogs and guard the door.The three eat dogs, kill and eat meat. ”"The barking dog should keep watch over the house well, and chase the cunning rabbit, not only should he not do it, but he should not even think about it!
If you think about it, not only will you not be praised by the owner, but you will be disgusted because the door is opened, thinking that it is an inferior dog, and selling it to the dog to slaughter!
”"Ren Hong, I have let Changshi check your resume, because my grandfather Ren An was a criminal official, exiled to Dunhuang, and imprisoned for three generations, so he made meritorious contributions.Earlier, you detected the traitorous things and resisted the Huns, which was your duty, so I will reward you heavily.But when it comes to military affairs, it's not something that you can ask a little flint chief, and go back and wait for the garrison!
”Then he waved him out.Ren Hong was a little dazed by Kong Duwei's reprimand, and he didn't understand what kind of taboo he had committed with his kind proposal?"
Nuo's resignation."
When he walked out of the door unhappily, he happened to hear the chief of the lieutenant in the middle of the city scolding Chen Pengzu, who was a little embarrassed: "Today's young people don't have the patience to guard the side plugs, but they want to do something big all day long. ”"Chen Weishi, in the future, there is no need to bring in to see Du Wei like this kind of boastful person!"
