Chapter 169: If you can't beat it, withdraw
Shiyang River, when I came here again, everything here is a little different from the scene in spring.
"General, it's been five days, and General Gongsun Ao hasn't come yet, what should we do?"
The lieutenant had a sad face.
Although it's normal to lose a long way these days, when it happened to them, it gave them a headache.
"Isn't it here yet?"
Huo Qubing frowned.
"Forget it, don't wait for them, since they haven't come, let's go by ourselves."
"Yes! General!"
Huo Qubing looked at the map, but at this moment he still didn't know it.It turned out that it wasn't just him who got lost.
In fact, the army of the East Road, Li Guang's 4000 vanguards encountered a large army of the Huns. Coincidentally, Zhang Qian had originally agreed.
Also lost.
But these have nothing to do with him, Huo Qubing is deeply aware of Hanwu Emperor Liu Che's desire for this land.
Some people may get lost, or they may not meet up as agreed.
But absolutely cannot fail.
But this time what he was going to face was all the tribes of the Huns, more than [-] people.
In a frontal collision, even the [-] cavalry under his command are elite.
I'm afraid there are also great risks, and he doesn't want to hear about the so-called miserable general's name anymore.
He wants a big win.
So he made a crazy decision.
First cross the Tengger Desert and Badain Jaran Desert, bypass Juyanze, then go south along Ruoshui to attack Qilian Mountain, and then go east to attack King Hunxie and King Xiutu from behind.
This is a tactic of great depth and great detour that is rare in the world.It is also a new page in the ancient military history of the Dragon Kingdom.
This tactic was only widely known after the twentieth century, but at this moment, Huo Qubing had already used him.
But this marching route is also extremely dangerous.
On the one hand, this route needs to penetrate at least two thousand miles into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and on the other hand, it is the two deserts.
The Tengger Desert is still not bad.
But the existence of the Badain Jaran Desert makes people feel suffocated.With an area of [-] square kilometers, it is the third largest desert in the Dragon Kingdom.The peaks are steep and the sand ridges are like knives.
There are no fixed roads, it is deserted, and there is almost no water in the central and northern parts. Even if there are, it will definitely not be able to support the scale of 3 people.
And more importantly, it takes at least five days to cross this desert.
They have to travel through the past completely.Maintain physical strength and combat effectiveness.
It is even more necessary to ensure that their routes do not deviate in the slightest, otherwise, in the absence of road signs, a slight difference is a thousand miles away.
But all of this is irrelevant to Huo Qubing, since he wants to do it, he will definitely be able to do it.
He is so full of vigor to believe in himself.
send troops!
And there is a rather outrageous fact here, that is, in this station, most of Huo Qubing's subordinates are Huns.
Yes, including Xiaowei Gao Bushi, the Hun Juwang, Xiaowei Puduo, and Zhao Ponu, all of them can be said to be Huns.
This dude Zhao Ponu is even more outrageous. He is a Han Chinese on the territory of the Huns, as can be seen from his name, but then he joined the Huns. Later, he saw that Huo Qubing was very serious, so he voted for Huo Qubing again.Not to mention, it's quite coquettish.
And it's not that the Huns would not defect, in fact.
There have been many cases of Xiongnu nobles fleeing and being beheaded. In this case, Huo Qubing didn't care about the problems of his subordinates at all.
Outrageously send troops.
Perhaps it is because such a miracle is so unbelievable, so in the Hexi Corridor, there are rumors of the miracle of Huo Qubing splitting the spring in the middle of the desert.
This is of course nonsense.
But Huo Qubing succeeded. He led the army through the desert of [-] square kilometers without any injuries, and then crossed the fans of [-] kilometers.Finally arrived at Juyanze.
Here, with the survival of the Huns tribe, Huo Qubing ushered in a war.
Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it swept away with ease.The Huns could not even organize a large-scale resistance.
There is no way, everyone's elite soldiers are guarding in front, and suddenly a knife is inserted from behind the buttocks, who would have thought of that?
Then he went south from Yanze and invaded Qilian Mountain. During the two thousand li journey, Huo Qubing was like a bolt of lightning, resounding completely in the night sky of Qilian Mountain.
King Xiutu and King Hunxie didn't even know that a huge cavalry force appeared behind them.
Dacaotan is not only the Shandan army horse farm, but also the largest place for war horses in the world. Since Huo Qubing, all dynasties have had this place.
This is the royal racecourse that cannot be changed.
And Huo Qubing was the first Han owner here.
Hundreds of thousands of elite Huns, they couldn't imagine how someone would kill them from behind.
In the First World War, [-] people were injured and [-] people were beheaded.
Captured seven princes of the Xiongnu, Xiangguo of the Xiongnu, and captain, and led 500 people to surrender.By the way, five queen mothers of the Huns, as well as a group of princes, ministers, and generals were captured.A total of more than one hundred people.
This battle directly wiped out the Huns in the entire Hexi Corridor, and also completely penetrated the entire Hexi Corridor.
Great victory!
The news reached Chang'an, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded him with imperial wine.
How can a glass of wine be enough?
Huo Qubing poured wine into the spring and motioned for everyone to drink together.
Then the place changed its name.
Jiuquan.
This battle was so brilliant that Huo Qubing increased the number of food towns, and even Zhao Ponu, who was a high-ranking ignorant, and Pu Duo under his command were directly sealed as marquises.
Li Guang cried and fainted in the toilet.
There is no way, it really wasn't him who had a problem with the Eastern Front. Zhang Qian lost his way and was defeated.
But even so, Li Guang didn't get any benefits.
Everyone is numb.
At this time, the Hun King may have really seen the severity of Huo Qubing.
First, the Hetao area was taken by Wei Qing, and then Qilian Mountain was beaten by Huo Qubing, and the whole Hexi was gone.
I was so angry in my heart.
At that time, the two brothers, King Hunxie and King Xiutu, had been defeated repeatedly, but they were lucky enough. King Xiongnu died more than ten times before and after, and the two brothers were fine.
The Xiongnu Shanyu finally got angry, told them to come over, and prepared to kill them.
The two brothers thought about it for a while, and then simply gave up on themselves, and then voted for the Han Dynasty, and directly became a marquis.
Of course, when surrendering, it was unavoidable to have some small things, but in the end he was killed by Huo Qubing again.
After 8000 people died, they finally accepted their fate.Nearly 10 people directly voted for Han.
He surrendered together with the kings of the 32 countries in the Western Regions.
At this point, the Hexi Corridor was completely attached to the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty established the four counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei.
This place was brought down by Huo Qubing.The Han Dynasty completely controlled Hexi.
And I have to say that although King Hunxie's combat power is really not very good, in terms of singing, it is barely okay.
So he sang the famous song.
"The loss of my Qilian Mountains made my six animals invincible, and it was my Yanzhi Mountains that made my married woman colorless."
After this battle, because of Hexi's control, Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun and other places can also be liberated.
The number of Xu soldiers has been reduced by half, and the corvee has also been eased.
Everything is finally heading in the right direction.
But the Xiongnu saw that the strength of the Han Dynasty was indeed strong, and finally touched their chin.
If we can't beat it, then we will withdraw first!
