Chapter 1155 The Battle of Han and Hungary (1)
"If you don't kill this kind of person, you will waste food."
At the grand banquet to welcome Wei Qing, Wang Xiao originally planned to find Princess Pingyang and give her an opportunity to get along with Wei Qing alone.
But when he came over, his excellent hearing was heard. These ladies were talking about a very famous young man in Chang'an City.
The young man is an actor who is "music, dance, and plays".
Of course, there is no such title in this era, but it basically means this.
Because of her handsome appearance and is very popular among girls, the young man is very happy with women.
However, I recently heard that this person was in trouble because his xx girl only made untrue promises and turned against others afterwards.
Some girls who were annoyed and ruthless were reluctant to do so, so they broke the matter openly. Only then did they realize that there were so many girls who were deceived by the little guy.
Hearing this, Wang Xiao simply walked over and said, "Who is this person's surname? Immediately hand it over to the Tingwei Yamen for strict handling!"
Seeing Wang Xiao coming, the women saluted one after another, but no one dared to respond to Wang Xiao's words.
Finally, Princess Pingyang stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I'll send someone to inform the Tingwei."
"I haven't said what that person is called yet."
"Sir Xiao and Ren."
"Hurry up and send it to the yamen to punish."
After talking about this trivial matter, Wang Xiao turned around and began to talk about the serious matter.
"How about it, your former cavalry slave is now a general. What do you think?"
Princess Pingyang covered her mouth and smiled, "It's because the emperor gave him this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. But I heard from people outside that he was just robbing the grassland this time. Can such merit be the general?"
"Um?"
Wang Xiao waved his hand indifferently, "It's just a far-flying barking of a dog. Jealous and talented people are treated as they deserve, and it's a villain's behavior."
Looking at Princess Pingyang who was a little availed, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't ask who you said."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
While speaking, the two of them had already walked to Wei Qing, who was receiving congratulations from everyone.
"Your Majesty, Princess." Wei Qing, who had reached the peak of his life, respectfully saluted Wang Xiao and the others.
"You two are acquaintances, don't make it look like you're meeting for the first time." Wang Xiao, who was a rare matchmaker, looked at Wei Qing who was a little embarrassed with a smile, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Take good care of the princess."
After Wang Xiao left, Wei Qing subconsciously looked at Princess Pingyang.
Princess Pingyang also happened to see her at this time, and the eyes of the two instantly met.
There is no shy attitude of men and women looking at each other and then being pretentious in the crazy movies and TV series.
Wei Qing is a general. Although he is not too old, he has been fighting in the south and north for many years and has long been extremely determined.
As for Princess Pingyang, let alone, they are all people with sons, so there is no artificial little daughter.
They all understood Wang Xiao’s thoughts, and this was giving them a red line.
Princess Pingyang herself did not object because Wei Qing's status at this time was worthy of her.
Wei Qing's words were more like realizing his former dream.
When I was a riding slave, when I accompanied Princess Pingyang out for hunting and playing, I had dreamt of this hostess when I was dreaming of practicing my shadowless hand at midnight because of my youth and restlessness.
Now I finally have the opportunity to have a love affair. This is more of a dream come true for Wei Qing.
For Wei Qing at this time, he could get everything he wanted. On the contrary, this opportunity to fulfill his dream when he was young is extremely rare.
So after the two of them met, the rest became much simpler.
More than a month later, Wang Xiao took Wei Zifu to attend the wedding of Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang.
The war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns continued, but it did not have much impact on the Han people within the side wall.
Except for those merchants who traded with the Huns, others still did whatever they should do.
The Huns also scratched their heads when facing the Han Dynasty's side walls. The solid city walls and terrifying crossbows were simply nightmares for the Huns who had no ability to attack the city.
If you cannot break through the side wall, it will be difficult to cause a substantial blow to the Han Dynasty.
After the Han Dynasty blocked the trade route, the Huns began to lack materials.
The supplies here refer to those that are enjoyed by noble people, such as silk spices, exquisite jewelry and strong wine, and life-saving medicines.
I haven't seen it before, and it's okay to have never enjoyed it before.
But people who are used to wearing silk will feel uncomfortable when wearing leather jackets.
Without spices, the beef and mutton will no longer have the delicious taste of the past.
The women in the tent complained all day long, complaining that they could not buy the latest styles of exquisite jewelry in Dahan.
As for strong wine, it is a good thing that the Huns dream of. If you don’t drink it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
In the past, when I got sick on the grassland, I always looked for shamans to dance to the master.
But when the Han people's medical skills and medicine can truly cure diseases and save people, the first thing everyone does when they get sick is to find a doctor from the Han people.
But now the Han doctors cannot save their illness because they have used up all the medicines.
The lives of the Huns on the grassland were greatly affected. Even ordinary herders were the same.
Take the most popular iron pots and kettles for example. These things will be broken even if they are repaired for a few years. But after the war begins, there is no source of supplements, and there is no way to enjoy this convenience.
Therefore, when the war between the two sides started, the busiest one was not the army on both sides, but the smuggling merchants.
Even Junchen Shanyu, even if he was angry with Nie Yi's deception and betrayal, he still turned a blind eye to other smuggling merchants.
The Huns needed goods from the Han Dynasty, especially when they could not be grabbed.
The reason why these smuggling merchants were able to bring smuggled goods out of the side walls alive was not because of their outstanding abilities, but because they were allowed.
In return, they must carefully investigate all relevant information along the way, especially the distribution locations of the Hun tribes.
Relying on this information, the Xiongnu tribes at a distance were led by Cheng Bushi, Li Guang and others to attack. At a distance, Wei Qing personally led the elite cavalry to fight.
The Huns could not fight in, or the large number of soldiers could not fight in, and even if the small number penetrated, it would be a dead end.
However, the Han people were able to attack on the front line that stretched for thousands of miles, and they would not give the Huns any chance to reinforce after the battle.
The cavalry mobility that once made the Huns proud was actually tricked by the Han army on the long front.
In just a few years, although the Huns also set up ambush, they did not know the repulsion process, surrounded and annihilated Li Guang, and even almost surrounded Wei Qing. However, this tactical counterattack could not change the strategic gradual decline of the passive state.
It was not until the Huns were sucked by this uninterrupted blow that they finally found a breakthrough in their strategic direction.
"Liaodong County?"
Standing in front of the huge sand table, Wang Xiao felt interesting that the Huns finally walked out of the stupid state of being led by the nose, and truly chose the right strategic direction. "There are people who understand the Huns."
The sand table is naturally Wang Xiao’s masterpiece. This sand table that occupies the entire area of the hall, and covers detailed geographical information within a thousand miles inside and outside the side wall.
A series of flags representing the main force of the Huns were moving along the outside of the side wall and towards Liaodong County.
"Your Majesty, the border wall of Liaodong County has not been completed yet..."
"There is no matter how to repair it." Wang Xiao waved his hand and interrupted Wei Qing's words. "There is a fertile place that has a thousand miles of fertile land, how can I repair the edge wall? No need to explain, I can understand."
In fact, no border wall was built in Liaodong County.
The reason is also very simple. There are endless large plains there. On this plain, the construction of a city wall that lasts thousands of miles long is too large, which is no less than the construction of a Great Wall in this era. Secondly, the defense capability is not strong.
A slave can concentrate his strength to attack a little at any time. Break through a little, which means that the long line of defense has failed.
So from the beginning, Wang Xiao never thought about building a border wall in Liaodong County.
"The Huns finally figured out the principle that they would be saved if they attacked them."
Wang Xiao stood beside the sand table and smiled and said, "It's been a big improvement."
During the Warring States Period, the Yan Kingdom, which was constantly educated by various countries, began to develop northward in order to expand its living space, defeated countless Zahu and expanded thousands of miles. And this newly developed land was Liaodong County.
After so many years of development, millions of Han people have lived here.
Moreover, behind Liaodong County are the four Han counties established after Weiman and Korea were destroyed. There are also millions of immigrant Han people living there.
Once Liaodong County is lost, the fate of these Han people will inevitably be very tragic.
Wang Xiao said that the Huns had made great progress, and that was indeed the case.
Because the Huns were no longer passively fooled by the Han army, they chose a place where the Han army had to go to rescue, thus finding the right place and opportunity for the decisive battle they wanted.
What is this? This is strategic initiative.
Compared to the stupidity that was like a headless fly in the past, the Huns have taken this step now is indeed very good.
But that's all.
"General." Wang Xiao looked at Wei Qing, who was already a middle-aged man with a beard, "Do you still remember how Pang Juan died?"
Wei Qing's eyes lit up, "Bound Wei and save Zhao?"
"That's right."
Wang Xiao's fingers began to slide on the sand table. "The Huns learned to be smart, and when they came, they would be rescued. Save must be saved, but how to rescue them must be arranged properly. Since they are going to attack our place of rescue, we will also attack their place of rescue.
