Chapter 411 Jingguan (vote requested, brothers)
"What about the caravan? Just let it go? We won't take revenge?" Shu Da still grumbled unwillingly.
"Of course we can't just let it go. Since they dare to challenge our Han tribe, they must be prepared for revenge. But now it's not suitable for us to mobilize a large number of manpower. Besides, distant water can't quench a nearby fire. So even if we want revenge, we can only rely on them to ambush themselves. We can't let us suffer heavy casualties. Do you two have any ideas?"
The Han tribe is getting bigger and bigger. If it wants to develop further, it needs a lot of talented management personnel. So in order to train these two people, Luo Chong now asks them for their opinions first when encountering any problems, and then gives analysis and evaluation himself, so that the two can learn to handle things by themselves as soon as possible.
Luo Chong looked at Shu Da, who was scratching his head anxiously, as if he felt that there were too few people to fight. Then he looked at Da Shu, who immediately expressed his idea.
"Chief, I think it's okay to teach the other side a lesson, but there's no need to chase them relentlessly or kill them all. Just let them know how powerful the Han tribe is. Let's do this.
Since that Xin tribe can lure others to fight us, we can also find helpers on the grassland. We only need to find those tribes that have traded with us, are relatively strong, and do things in a law-abiding manner. We can recruit some warriors with white salt like the labor market here.
But we can't let them help fight, we just need to let them help take care of the wounded and the remaining supplies, and then send all the heavy cavalry out for a raid.
The purpose of this raid is not to recapture livestock, because that would easily make the warriors unable to move freely, so the purpose should be to kill the enemy. This revenge is only for killing people, the more the better, to kill the enemy to be afraid, and to kill them so that they will never dare to attack our caravan again."
"Well, your idea is not bad, but it is too dependent on help. As you said, the people you ask for help must be very reliable. Otherwise, if you send all the soldiers out, the remaining people and materials of the caravan may be directly swallowed up by the helpers, so the risk is too great." Luo Chong commented on the strategy offered by Dashu.
"Well, I didn't think of this. Does the leader have a better idea?" Dashu asked back.
"The method you said is not bad, but you have misunderstood the essence of the matter. The purpose of revenge this time is not to kill people, but to deter them. We should make them know to be afraid, right?" Luo Chong looked at the two and asked.
"Well, that's the case. But how can we make them afraid without killing people? You can't just go over and scold them and they will be afraid, right?!" Shu Da asked puzzled.
"Hey, you are right. Just go over and scold them. It doesn't matter whether you kill them or not. Didn't the other side die a lot in this battle? Then cut off their heads and return them. By the way, warn them that next time they come, they will not be able to go back. If they don't obey, beat them up again until they obey." Luo Chong continued with Shu Da's words.
"Just, scold them, is that all?" Da Shu also looked at Luo Chong with a confused expression.
"Of course, this alone won't work. Since we don't have many people in terms of military force now, we can adopt a strategy of attacking the heart. As long as we can scare the other party, it will be fine. This is called pretending..., making a mystery, yes, the strategy of confusing the enemy, so that they can't figure out how powerful we are.
My plan is this. You can find helpers as you said, let Youfu judge the other party's character by himself. After recruiting helpers, the caravan will not continue to march, but will rest in place, wait for the heavy cavalry to return, and then come back together.
Let the heavy cavalry cut off the heads of the enemy's dead in front of the hired warriors. This will deter them and make them dare not easily attack our caravan. Then salt the heads, otherwise they will stink easily in this hot weather.
Then let our cavalry rush to deliver these heads to the enemy, and also send a diplomatic letter and a flag.
The letter will write that they have invaded the Han caravan, killed our people, and robbed our things, which is equivalent to provoking the Han Empire. This matter is not over. Either they obediently send people and cattle to apologize and surrender, or they will wash their necks and wait for our 100,000 iron cavalry to trample them into ashes.
There is also the flag, which has the words "Those who offend the mighty Han will be punished even if they are far away." Yes, that's it. Also, prepare two sides of this flag, and let the caravan build a Jingguan on the other side, and then put the flag on it. "Luo Chong thought for a while and said.
"But chief, where can we get 100,000 cavalry? We don't even have 100,000 people. Isn't this cheating?!" Shu Da said with his neck stiff.
"Yes, so what if we cheat them? Let alone 100,000, even if we can get 1,000 heavy cavalry, they can be scared to death. So what's wrong with 100,000? Anyway, they don't know how many you have. The most important thing is to scare them and let them know that they have offended someone they shouldn't have offended." Luo Chong retorted.
"But, chief, they probably can't understand our Chinese characters, and even if they can understand, will they compensate us?" Da Shu also asked.
"It doesn't matter if they can't understand it. You can let the soldiers read it to them again. It's not important. The important thing is to get them to understand first. We have our own writing and culture. If they can't understand it, it means they are uncivilized barbarians. This will also make them more aware of the gap between us and us, and make them more afraid.
As for whether they will pay compensation, it is not important. We are just trying to scare them. Why do you expect so much? If they are afraid, it would be better if they are willing to pay compensation. If they are not willing to pay compensation, they will have to wait for our army to come to the border, but we have not said when to start. So even
if they do not pay compensation, they will have to spend a long time in fear. And this is not the ultimate goal. If they are really afraid and we have not come to their door, what are they most likely to do? "Luo Chong asked the two.
"What? If it were me, I would definitely want to vent my anger after this happened. The Han tribe is too powerful and I can't afford to offend it. Then I would definitely vent my anger on the Xin tribe that gave me advice." Shu Da said stupidly.
"That's right, you are finally right this time. This is exactly what I want. Let them fight first. We will talk about the future when we have time next year." Luo Chong praised Shu Da with appreciation, which made the sturdy man embarrassed.
"Then, chief, what is the Jingguan you mentioned at the end? "Da Shu also asked the last question for this discussion.
