Volume 1 Chapter 98 The Huns' Strategy
The Second Khan of the Xiongnu and the Third Khan of the Xiongnu looked at the elegant man in front of them, who called himself Tiansuanzi of the Tianji Sect.
Everyone was extremely shocked.
You know, the sect cannot interfere in the struggle for hegemony between dynasties.
The hot-tempered Second Khan asked directly:
"Didn't the gods order that sects not participate in the struggle for dynastic supremacy? Why would your Tianji Sect intervene?"
This must be clarified. What if this guy has bad intentions?
As the second Khan of the Huns, he still has some brains.
Tian Suanzi chuckled, found a place to sit down, picked up a glass of strong liquor and drank it all, then said in a casual manner:
"Khan, you don't know that people from the so-called sects cannot participate in the struggle for hegemony in the dynasty. This is also conditional."
"It means not using power beyond mortals."
"As long as I don't fight the enemy and don't use the power of a cultivator, there won't be any problem at all."
"And whether it's the Great Zhou army, or the Western Chu, Northern Liang, or Southern Barbarians, there are actually cultivators in the army, serving as generals and commanders."
"Doesn't the Khan know?"
Tian Suanzi looked at the Second Khan calmly, confident as if everything in the world was under his control.
"Of course I know that!"
What a joke! As the second Khan of the Huns, he was also the highest commander among the Huns, and his status was second only to the first Khan of the Huns.
He had his own pastures and rangelands, his own subjects and people.
Of course, he knew all about this secret, even as much as the Emperor of Zhou. To a certain extent, he might even know more than the Emperor of Zhou.
After all, the Xiongnu did not have such an institution to worship the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The people of the grassland all believe in the Blood Wolf Hall, which rarely interferes in secular management, and the people of the grassland rarely have a sense of confidentiality.
Of course, he is more aware of the twists and turns involved.
"I just don't understand. If you can't take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops, what use do I have for you?"
The second Khan of the Xiongnu originally wanted to scold Tian Suanzi, but in the end he thought that he was a member of the sect after all, so he had to give him some face.
So I added at the end, "I'm a rough person, so I just speak directly, don't be surprised!"
Tian Suanzi nearly spit out a mouthful of wine and cursed in his heart, "No wonder you are so rude. Do we have to rely on brute force every time we fight a war?"
Tian Suanzi knocked his head and said:
"Although I cannot fight on the battlefield, I can help His Majesty the Xiongnu Khan command his soldiers to deploy their troops."
"With my ability as Tian Suanzi, I can calculate the ups and downs of people's hearts. It will be easy to destroy Honghua City!"
He drank by himself, feeling quite lonely like a master.
hehe!
The Xiongnu Khan curled his lips and said, "Who doesn't know how to brag?"
Tian Suanzi's face turned dark and he cursed inwardly these grassland people for not understanding class. You should treat a hermit master like me with respect... Forget it.
Tian Suanzi felt like he was talking to a cow.
So he just took out a picture.
What's this?
The Second Khan and the Third Khan both stretched their necks to look up.
It didn't matter that they just took a look at it. When they saw clearly what was drawn on the picture, they both gasped.
This is the defense map of Honghua City.
The map marked the defensive strength of the Honghua City defenders, even down to the number of defenders. What surprised them even more was that the shift change times were also marked.
With a gulp, the Second Khan swallowed hard.
With this map, they were more confident of taking Honghua City.
"As expected of the Tianji Sect's Tian Suanzi, he is so amazing!"
The Third Khan had to give a compliment, which was definitely from the heart.
"If you have this picture, why did you show it to me earlier? Why are you wasting so much time talking? It's a waste of saliva!"
The second Khan cursed and swore, almost saying that you were like a woman.
Tian Suanzi's face darkened again.
He stopped pretending to be a master and said directly: "Do you think this is all I am capable of?"
"What else do you have?"
The second Hun Khan's eyes lit up, and he obviously became more polite to Tian Suanzi.
Tian Suanzi didn't say anything, he just took out another picture from his arms and spread it on the table.
At this time, the Second Khan and the Third Khan no longer had to stretch their necks to look.
Instead, he ran down from his seat and came to Tian Suanzi, staring at the picture with both pairs of eyes.
When they saw this, their eyes widened.
The Second Khan excitedly held up the map and laughed, "This is actually the logistics supply map of Honghua City! I always say that you people from the Central Plains are not quick to do things. If you had brought it out earlier, we would have immediately looked up to you!"
Tian Suanzi: “….”
He coughed lightly and explained carefully: "This logistics supply is the main route for Honghua City to transport food from the rear. As the saying goes, before the army moves, food and grass must go first."
"If you, the Xiongnu cavalry, attack Honghua City, you will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"After all, Honghua City is famous for its high walls and thick walls. It is difficult to break through from the outside."
"But as long as you cut off Honghua City's logistical supply and cut off their food supplies, Honghua City will become an isolated city."
"When the time comes, we will surround the city from all sides, and Honghua City will fall without a fight!"
Tian Suanzi's eyes were full of confidence. As a genius of the Tianji Sect, he should be able to control the changes in the world and make the dynasty submit.
But the immortal god did not allow the sect to participate in the dynasty struggle, which made him extremely unwilling.
But now he can participate in the dynasty struggle in another way, and he feels that he can finally show his talents.
The second Khan and the third Khan were overjoyed when they heard this. This was simply the best option.
Although the Hun's 500,000-strong army may sound powerful, you are going to attack a city, and sieges are not easy to fight.
The plan proposed by Tiansuanzi will minimize the losses of the Xiongnu cavalry and quickly break through Honghua City.
Just thinking about the consequences of cutting off Honghua City's food supply, everyone felt ecstatic.
Honghua City has 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Once the food supply is cut off and there is no food to eat, the entire Honghua City will become a living hell.
They don't even have to fight their way in, Honghua City will be destroyed from within.
"Good, good, good, you are indeed a master of the Tianji Sect!"
"This Khan will now appoint you as the Imperial Master of the Xiongnu. You will lead the war against the Great Zhou."
After saying this, the Second Khan of the Xiongnu pounded his chest with his hand and bowed deeply to the elegant man in front of him.
This is considered as paying homage to the national teacher.
etc!
Tian Suanzi raised his hand to stop him, and shook his head: "The Xiongnu State Master is dispensable to me, these are not what I want!"
"What do you want?"
The second Khan and the third Khan of the Huns were both confused.
Tian Suanzi took a sip of wine and said solemnly: "The Great Zhou Dynasty has the Great Zhou Priest, and my Tianji Sect also wants to become the next Priest of the Central Plains Dynasty."
"You can destroy the Great Zhou, and we in the Tianji Sect will do our best to help you, but we hope that after you defeat the Great Zhou, you can support a puppet dynasty."
"And our Tianji Sect can naturally become the dynasty worshiper of this puppet dynasty."
"How about it?"
Tian Suanzi finally expressed his ambition.
They would not help the Huns attack the Zhou Dynasty for no reason.
What they want is to kill the current royal priests of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then become the next priests of the dynasty.
Then, their Tianji Sect could legitimately plunder all the cultivation resources in the Central Plains and finally become immortals or gods.
This was his real mission for leaving the sect and coming to the Xiongnu, and it was also the trial mission assigned to him by the sect.
If successful, he will be the next leader.
He may even be the next great priest of the Central Plains Dynasty.
this!
The second Khan and the third Khan looked at each other and felt very unhappy.
Didn’t they destroy the Great Zhou just to occupy it?
After finally destroying them, will they still have to support a puppet dynasty and continue to be the enemy of the Huns?
"Why, you don't agree?"
Tian Suanzi's face turned cold.
Then he stretched out his hand, grabbed the diagram of the logistics supply route from the Xiongnu Khan's hand, folded it quickly and put it in his sleeve.
"Since the two Khans disagree, forget it. I'll take my leave!"
Having said that, Tian Suanzi took a sip of wine and was about to get up and leave.
The Second Khan felt as if he was being scratched by a cat. These two pictures had a huge impact on him.
They only hated themselves for not having a photographic memory. They just took a quick glance at the picture and could not remember all the contents in it.
The Second Khan stopped Tian Suanzi and said, "We can still discuss this. Don't leave in such a hurry!"
"There is no room for negotiation. Either you agree to what I say, or we part ways. After you finish conquering Honghua City, if you suffer heavy losses, you may not be able to become the first Khan of the Xiongnu."
Tian Suanzi was not polite and directly pointed out his importance.
Without my drawings and information, you can do nothing!
Even if you win, you may not get what you want.
Then this war would be meaningless.
He was very sure that the other party would agree to his conditions.
"But we finally conquered the Central Plains Dynasty, but we still have to support a puppet dynasty. This is really making wedding clothes for others! Didn't our grassland warriors die in vain?"
The Second Khan was still unwilling to give in.
No one would agree to Tian Suanzi's conditions after hearing them.
This is simply picking peaches!
Tian Suanzi sneered and said, "Even if you conquer the Central Plains Dynasty, can you keep your seat?"
"Do you want to move all the Xiongnu people to the Central Plains, so that they don't have to herd their livestock anymore, and instead farm the land?"
Tian Suanzi's words left the two Hun Khans speechless.
They thought about it and suddenly realized.
It seems to make sense!
It's okay to let the Huns herd horses and sheep, but it seems a bit ridiculous to ask them to plow the land and grow crops!
"You conquered the Central Plains Dynasty, but you couldn't occupy it at all. In the end, you had to change it back and cultivate a puppet dynasty. You can fight whenever you want. How great! There are still people to farm the land for you!"
Tian Suanzi is patient and persuasive.
Finally, the Second Khan and the Third Khan discussed it and said, "Okay, we promise you!"
"That's right!"
Tian Suanzi chuckled, then took out another picture from his other sleeve and slapped it directly on the table.
He laughed and said, "This is the real logistics supply map! The one I showed you just now was a fake."
Oh shit!
The second Khan and the third Khan twitched their lips and cursed in their hearts, none of these people are good people!
If we had memorized the picture just now and then used a fake one to go out into the war, wouldn't we be waiting to be tricked?
Sure enough, these people are more insidious than each other!
...........
That night.
At Bai Qi's command, 10,000 elite soldiers took off their armor and put on Hun fur clothes.
Then they let their hair down, making it messy, and some even smeared mud on their hair, making it into wisps.
In order to make these people more like the Huns, Bai Qi even brought hundreds of sheep into the military camp.
The sheep were allowed to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the military camp, and the entire camp was filled with the smell of sheep.
The smell almost made the soldier vomit.
After staying in this environment for a day or two, each of them had the unique smell of Hun mutton.
The taste is really sour and refreshing.
Yang Paifeng felt like she was going crazy. She felt a little regretful now. Fighting along with Bai Qi was simply torture.
But fortunately, we are finally setting off today.
The entire army secretly rushed out of the west gate. In order to keep it secret, Yang Wudi specially transferred his most trusted subordinates to defend the west gate.
And they repeatedly ordered that nothing these people saw or heard was allowed to be spread.
Bai Qi and his entourage wore Hun clothes, combed their hair like the Huns, carried longbows on their backs, and had crossbows on their waists.
Some people even took the Huns' unique scimitars and secretly went to the Huns' Dragon Court.
After they were more than ten miles away from Honghua City.
Yang Paifeng couldn't wait to ask: "Whose place should we go to first?"
You should know that there are a total of five Xiongnu Dragon Courts, and each Khan has his own Dragon Court. It is precisely because they have their own Xiongnu Dragon Court that they can maintain a relatively independent ruling state.
Which one is this goal?
Bai Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me about the situation of the Xiongnu Khans? Which Xiongnu Khan is the strongest now, and which Xiongnu Khan is the weakest?"
Yang Paifeng smiled. She had asked the right person. She was very familiar with him. She immediately explained to Bai Qi:
"The First Khan of the Xiongnu was the most powerful, but because you killed the First Khan, his three sons fought for the inheritance, causing the First Khan's power to split into three groups."
"The remaining ones are that the Second Hun Khan is the strongest, and the Fifth Hun Khan is the weakest."
Yang Paifeng knew all of this by heart, after all, they had been dealing with the Huns for many years.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
They have been trying to find out information about the Huns.
Bai Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go fight the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu first!"
After determining the target of attack, Bai Qi immediately asked the guides in the army to lead the way. These guides had been active in the Xiongnu all year round and traded with the Xiongnu.
They had some understanding of the entire situation of the Huns.
If they were asked to pursue the Huns, they might not be able to do it.
But there would be absolutely no problem in asking them to lead the way to find the Xiongnu Dragon Court.
The guide immediately led everyone to march at a high speed in one direction.
………………
And on the other side.
The four great Khans of the Xiongnu have already joined together.
Two of the first Khan's three sons went to join other Xiongnu Khans, and the total force reached 500,000.
When several Khans met, the Second Khan sat directly on the highest position, which made others look unhappy.
Especially the two sons of the first Khan, they should have inherited it.
But now the second Khan of the Xiongnu is the strongest, and the Xiongnu respect the strong, so they can only swallow their anger.
The second Hun Khan said directly: "Let's not waste our time. Now I demand that the entire army obey my command!"
"You're dreaming!" The Fifth Khan immediately slammed the table in objection. What a joke! This was an attempt to encroach on his military power.
"Second brother, are you getting carried away? You're not even the boss yet!"
The Fourth Khan also spoke in a sarcastic tone, "You want military power right away. Believe it or not, we will turn against you!"
Only the third Khan agreed with a smile, after all, he had already defected to the second Khan.
The Second Khan was very upset when he saw so many people opposed him, and it showed on his face. The flesh on his face twitched and he said angrily:
"Only by following me can we win the battle!"
"Bullshit! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself, can you?"
The Fourth Khan and the Fifth Khan would not give any face to the Second Khan at all.
"Don't you think too highly of yourself?"
"How can you win the battle?"
They didn't want the Second Khan to get the military power at all, and they didn't want to obey the Second Khan's orders. Now they had to argue with reason.
The Second Khan smiled and said confidently: "Because I know where the logistics supply line of Honghua City is! As long as we cut off the food supply of Honghua City, Honghua City will fall without a fight."
"If I am not allowed to command, how many Xiongnu warriors will die?"
"If you two don't agree, why don't you ask the tribal leaders under you to see if they agree?"
"We, the warriors of the Xiongnu, cannot die in vain!"
After he said this, the tribal leaders under the Second Khan and the Third Khan began to whisper to each other.
No one is stupid. If the soldiers of a tribe are wiped out, then this tribe will be annexed by other tribes.
So if there can be fewer deaths in a war, that is what they would most like to see.
