Chapter 482 There must be a million soldiers

The conditions in Wuwei County are very different from those in the military camps ahead, and there are no major changes.

Maybe there are just more people, and the valleys on both sides do not protect the place from wind and rain very well. Instead, a lot of cold wind comes in along the valley.

Even in the house, I still can't feel anything too warm.

Even if more charcoal fires are lit here, it seems that there will be no gas poisoning at all.

If the wind is exploited everywhere, the gas will not be able to survive at all.

"Chief Chen, can you tell me about the changes in the Han Dynasty in the past few years?" Looking at the delicacies on the table, although he has not tasted them for more than three years, his body has long sincerely wanted to taste them, but for the changes in the motherland

, he was still very concerned.

If we put it in the past, more than three years and nearly four years would not be long, and there would basically not be too many big changes.

But this time it's different.

Before returning to Dahan, Lu Jia felt something different about Dahan.

Previously, Han Xin wiped out 10,000 Huns in Yunzhong County. Although it sounds very exciting, in fact, if you think about it seriously, you will find that Han Xin's battle was actually more of a sneak attack, taking advantage of the Huns' defense.

I'll fight when I'm short.

Moreover, the Han army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, but in the back, the Han army defeated the main force of the Xiongnu, forcing them to move westward to avoid disaster.

But what Lu Jia was able to learn was only some incomplete information from Kuntu.

How was this battle fought?

What achievements did the Han army achieve?

He knew nothing about any of this.

The construction of Wuwei County also made Lu Jia feel a different existence.

It's really because Wuwei County is so special.

After listening to Lu Jia's words, Kuntu couldn't help but cheer up.

During this half-year trip, Kuntu also learned a lot of Chinese. As long as he didn't speak too fast and didn't speak in dialect, Kuntu could still understand it.

"Chief Chen, I also want to hear about the changes in the big man..." Kuntu asked impatiently.

There are too many people in the mission and the space is limited, so it is naturally impossible to invite everyone.

On the contrary, envoys from Wusun and Qiuci, two big countries, followed him, and it was their first reception after arriving in Han Dynasty.

"Envoy Lu, this..." Chen Hua was already hesitant, but Kuntu's question made him even more confused.

It has nothing to do with concentration. Some things can be said by one's own people, but some things should never be said in front of outsiders.

Without these members of the mission, Chen Hua would never have hesitated to speak for so long.

"Mr. Chen said it's okay. The countries in the Western Regions are quite friendly to the Han!" Lu Jia smiled slightly and glanced at Chen Hua. Does that mean you can brag about your awesomeness? The more you brag, the better.

If you are cautious and hide everything, you will end up with bad things.

This trip to the Western Regions also taught him a lot of knowledge. Is this person abroad? Especially the exchanges between countries.

It's useless to hide your clumsiness? If you have five points of strength, you must show ten points of momentum and scare them to death, otherwise they won't be afraid of you? How can you be the boss?

How can you convince others?

"Okay? Let's talk about it, um..." After receiving Lu Jia's signal, Chen Hua completely let go of his worries. After thinking about it, he said, "Then let's start with the attack on the Huns..."

Hearing that Chen Hua was actually going to talk about the Han-Hungarian war? Everyone present widened their eyes, and the delicious food in his hand suddenly lost its flavor.

What Lu Jia and others focused on were the changes in the Han Dynasty? Kuntu and others focused on the true strength of the Han army.

After the Xiongnu moved westward, the natives were miserable. What could they do if they couldn't defeat them again and again?

They also want to hear? How did the Han Dynasty in the East deal with the Huns?

"Actually, this happened? Your Majesty had already anticipated it. In the second year of Jianyuan, before spring began, Your Majesty knew that the Huns were going to march eastward to attack Donghu. What was the strength of Donghu at that time? Just the number of soldiers was almost the same.

That’s half of the Xiongnu population. You think the Xiongnu took the initiative to attack Donghu, and didn’t he seek death on his own?”

"At that time, all the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government thought so, but His Majesty disagreed and said that there was a snow disaster on the grassland. The Huns' losses must have been heavy, but the Donghu's losses would not be too small."

"Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu is a narrow-minded person. In addition, King Donghu severely humiliated Modun Shanyu in the first year of Jianyuan. Now that a disaster has occurred on the grassland, Modun Shanyu will definitely not miss this opportunity.

of."

"So, Your Majesty immediately ordered the then Minister of War Guan Ying and General Han Xin to each lead 50,000 elite troops out of the clouds, march eastward along the grassland, and follow the Huns, with the intention of making a sudden attack during the fierce battle between the Huns and the Eastern Hus.

, completely defeated the Xiongnu and Donghu in one blow."

"However, the weather was still very cold at that time, and the army was short of warm clothing, so His Majesty ordered the Yuezhi to provide warm clothing. In this way, the two generals led their troops, and with the cooperation of Prince Bayar of the Yuezhi, they pursued all the way east.

"

"Although they were fast enough, they discovered after arriving in the east that they were still a step too late. The powerful Donghu was vulnerable to the Huns. After our main force of 100,000 arrived, their battle was over."

"And guess what? The scouts caught one alive and said that the Huns were divided into two groups. One group, about 200,000 strong, went to the surrounding areas to gather the Donghu tribe, while the other group consisted of 100,000 troops, heading south directly to Yuyang County.

Already."

"It was only then that everyone realized that His Majesty was absolutely right when he said that Mo Dun was petty. No, he had just avenged Dong Hu's humiliation and immediately came to trouble the big man."

"Thanks to your majesty's clever calculation, we have reached this point a long time ago, so with a wave of his hand, he directly ordered the 130,000 new soldiers in the second year of Jianyuan to turn north and march into Yuyang County. At the same time, he ordered Wang Li, the commander of the Nanjun camp, to go north to command this army.

force."

"After Wang Li went north, he directly ordered the five border counties to clear the country and not leave any grain of food for the Huns. In the end, the Huns' 100,000 troops had to besiege Yuyang City, which was heavily defended by Wang Li. But what does General Wang Li do?

How could the Xiongnu's little tricks prevent any trouble in front of General Wang Li? After attacking several times, he didn't even see the Han army's face. He left thousands of corpses and fled in panic."

"But I have to admit that the Huns general who led his people south is quite capable. If he doesn't escape at this time, he really has no chance to leave. General Guan Ying is leading an army of 70,000 people south to pursue him.

There were tens of thousands of people, but General Guan Ying was in vain again, and they ran away as soon as they arrived."

"On the other side, General Han Xin led 30,000 people and began to search for the main force of the Huns on the grassland. The main force of the Huns knew that they were outnumbered, so they did not dare to fight with each other and could only watch from a distance."

"At this time, General Han Xin used a trick and ordered to gather the women from all the ministries and bring them to the Han Dynasty. Without women, how would the Huns have the next generation? At this time, they could only be anxious and take the initiative to seek opportunities for combat.

."

"General Han Xin led 30,000 Han troops to face the main force of 200,000 Xiongnu. After half a day of fierce fighting, more than 20,000 Xiongnu were annihilated and captured. The remaining 100,000 people fled frantically and did not dare to fight again."

"To say that there are capable people among the Huns, they cannot come from the east or the west. They know that General Han Xin is stationed in Yunzhong County, and at this time General Han Xin appears here with the Han army, so the defense in the west must be empty.

, so they ran directly to the west, planning to take advantage of Yunzhong's empty defense to give the big man a hard look."

"But it's a pity that no matter how smart the Huns are, they can't escape His Majesty's plan. As early as when His Majesty ordered General Han Xin to send troops, he ordered General Zhang Buyi of the Imperial Guard to go to the border with more than 40,000 Imperial Guards to prepare for war defense.

."

"After hearing that the Xiongnu were attacking, General Zhang Buyi of the Imperial Guard immediately ordered the Yueshi to lure the enemy south. Then he took 40,000 Imperial Guards and more than 30,000 cavalry soldiers left by General Han Xin out of the border and attacked the Xiongnu again.

People’s rear base camp.”

"In this battle, more than 100,000 Xiongnu women and tens of millions of cattle and sheep were captured. After hearing the news, the Xiongnu were so angry that they ignored the Yuezhi people in front of them and directly sent troops to pursue them. But when they arrived in Yunzhong,

General Zhang had already entered the pass, and just at this moment, General Guan Ying and General Han Xin came back with their army. If the Huns did not run away, they would be in danger of being flanked. After that, the Huns lost news...

…”

Chen Hua spoke very carefully, and the ins and outs of the whole matter were very clear and organized, allowing people to directly see the main line and development of the whole matter.

Later, the Huns lost their news, so where did they go?

The answer, of course, is the west.

Quintu's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He felt that what he heard seemed to be beyond his understanding.

In the Western Regions, just the vanguard of the Xiongnu was beaten to the point where the Wusun howled, but in the east, the main force of the Xiongnu was actually ignored by the Han army?

Is there any justice for this bitch?

"Um... Commander Chen, how many people are there in this Han army now?" The envoy from Qiuci also asked in confusion.

He is also very concerned about this issue. Anyway, what he has heard so far is that there are 100,000 cavalry, 130,000 new soldiers, more than 40,000 imperial guards, and more than 30,000 cavalry left in the clouds. This adds up to 310,000.

It was widely spread in the Western Regions that the Han army numbered 600,000 to 700,000.

"This..." Chen Hua hesitated again. How should we talk about military strength? This is a secret.

But Lu Jia nodded again.

Well, since Lu Jia has nodded, let's cooperate, lest there be problems with diplomacy later on, and we won't be able to bear the blame.

"How many people are there in the Han army? In fact, I haven't calculated it specifically, but I can do it now."

"There are 140,000 people in the Yuyang camp, 130,000 in the Yunzhong camp, 150,000 in the Guanzhong camp, 200,000 in the Nanjun camp, and 200,000 in the Shuzhong camp...well, there are also 130,000. Our Wuwei

As for the county, there are 30,000 people, how much does this add up to?" Chen Hua started to argue, the soldiers from the Shuzhong camp will not arrive until next year, but who cares, let's do the math first.

"Sheriff, it's 780,000..." Hong Min said with some fear.

"Well, this is 780,000. There are still 50,000 forbidden troops in Luoyang, but these 50,000 are generally immobile."

Chen Hua nodded calmly, "More than 800,000 soldiers?"

Is it a lot?

No, when it comes to bragging, he can be more bragging. Besides, he is not just bragging. This is also true.

"These troops can be mobilized at will. Within the Han Dynasty, there are 50,000 standing troops stationed in various places. In addition, each county, depending on the size of the county, will also have a city garrison ranging from 500 to 2,000. This is specific.

I really haven't calculated how many there are. If you want to know, you have to go to the Ministry of War to check. Anyway, there are millions of soldiers."
