Chapter 59 Differences

Ye Zhao has no time to take care of the war in the Central Plains for the time being, because the war in Hetao has reached the most critical time.

In the summer of the fifth year of Jian'an, until Xu Rong's army approached and Hu Chuquan forced him to force him to urgently indicate that the Hun warriors were forced to. This time, almost all the Hun men who could use weapons were on the back and walked onto the battlefield. During the days when Xu Rong arrived at the royal court, Hu Chuquan gathered 150,000 troops in order to fight against the Han army.

This is not just a string control man. Among the Huns, in addition to children under ten years old, even the old men in their fifties and sixties picked up their weapons and walked onto the battlefield.

Hu Chuquan obviously wanted to fight with all his strength to repel the Han soldiers and horses in exchange for the opportunity for the Huns to continue to reproduce in this Hetao land.

This was a great war, which not only determined the survival of the Southern Xiongnu, but also a battle that concerns Ye Zhao's reputation. Although there were so many troops facing Li Jue and Guo Si before, people were able to win Chang'an at that time. The Xiliang army fought for a long time and was determined. Under the various factors of the military's morale and war-weariness, Ye Zhao's battle was not difficult.

But this time, it was a battle to destroy the clans. Ye Zhao wanted to weaken the power of the Huns to the greatest extent possible. He even used this battle to erase the Southern Huns from the territory of this world. The Huns fought back with different mentality and naturally had different combat powers. This battle was very important to Ye Zhao. If the clan could be successfully destroyed, Ye Zhao's reputation would grow to a new height. Although the Huns no longer had their former status now, the grassland overlord was now replaced by Xianbei people.

However, the Huns, who had not been completely extinct in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, were erased from their own hands. This achievement was enough to make Ye Zhao's voice over the voice of the aristocratic family, thus allowing him to take over the Central Plains in the future and occupy enough political capital.

On the green grass, the crisscrossing corpses and blood made the earth lose its original color. A few rolling smoke in the distance were a surprise attack from the corpses burning. Even if they were far away, you could smell the undispersed stinking attack in the air.

Teams of Han soldiers patrolled back and forth among the corpses all over the ground, dragging the bodies away. The broken limbs on the ground were no longer distinguished from the Han army or the Huns.

Not long ago, a tragic war of a large scale occurred here. Judging from the results, the Han army soldiers who were patrolling the battlefield had already explained the problem. The final victory was undoubtedly the Han army. However, this battle was too fierce. Even the well-equipped Han army died in battle.

A head with a head full of hair rolled to Xu Rong's feet, and Xu Rong, who was patrolling the generals, stopped. It was the head of a Hun. Ye Zhao could not allow such an old man to go to the battlefield.

The old man still had an angry face and his eyes were full of roundness. He seemed to be trying hard to do something, probably fighting with others. However, at his age, even if he picked up a weapon, it would be difficult to pose too much threat to the Han army.

"The Huns are being forced to do so!" Xu Rong raised his foot and kicked the white-headed head away. He looked at the people who were still cleaning the battlefield in the distance and sneered: "As long as this battle is won, the Southern Xiongnu will be completely destroyed!"

"Can you know how many casualties our army has?" Fa Zheng, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.

This was the first time he had spoken in the past few days since he entered the camp. The army was indeed a place where people could train. In more than a month, Fa Zheng lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was much better than before. Even if he was facing the supreme commander of the army at this moment, Fa Zheng could be calm and composed. It was not that kind of ostentatious, but with a very plain attitude.

"Do you know what is the crime of shaking the morale of the army?" Xu Rong turned his head and looked at Fa Zhengdao.

"Zheng know!" Fa Zheng bowed and bowed, "Those who shake the morale of the army can be killed regardless of their official position!"

"I know, why do you still ask?" Xu Rong said calmly.

If one thousand enemies are injured, eight hundred of them will be hurt. They will not be able to dig the trapped horse pit in advance to wait for the Huns to jump on their own. Especially the Huns actually already know the existence of the trapped horse pit. After being prepared, it is even more impossible to lure the enemy. Therefore, casualties are inevitable.

"But we can obviously win in a more relaxed way!" Fa Zheng looked at Xu Rong and said, "Although this Hetao land is all Huns, there are many branches, including Tu Ge, Qi Fu clan, Yue clan, etc. We can completely separate and defeat them one by one. These clans may not be the same as the Huns. Even if the general wants to kill them all, they can wait for them to flee internally. Wouldn't it be easier then?"

"How long will it take to wait?" Xu Rong looked at Fa Zheng and asked after a moment of silence.

"Give me one year, and at this time next year, they will definitely be able to kill each other!" Fa Zheng said in a deep voice.

"But we can't wait for a year!" Xu Rong looked at Fa Zheng and sighed: "Looking at the battle, there are too many people, including Xianbei people, Western Liang Hansui, and Northern Xiongnu, not to mention a year, there are not even a half year!"

Xu Rong also knew that the differentiation and attack was easier and there would be less losses. But the problem was that the longer the time was delayed, the more forces would be involved. Ye Zhao could eat a Southern Xiongnu, but if the Xianbei people and the Northern Xiongnu also intervened, Han Sui and Ma Teng, who had been settled before, would become restless, and at that time, more people would die.

What Xu Rong wanted was a quick battle, so after Huchuquan gathered an army of 150,000, Xu Rong did not delay them, but instead rushed the army directly to approach. If the enemy did not come out, he would dig a trap and block the enemy's retreat. If the enemy came out, it would be annihilated outside the city.

Fa Zheng’s plan is good, but it is definitely not suitable for now. Because this battle was suddenly fought, Ye Zhao was not prepared, so this battle must be completed as soon as possible to suppress the surrounding forces and give Ye Zhao enough time to digest this place.

Fa Zheng frowned and looked at the extremely tragic battlefield and said, "But if we continue to fight like this, our army will probably be exhausted first!"

"You will know that the later stage, our enemies will be weaker!" Xu Rong glanced at the head of the old soldier who was kicked away by him and shook his head: "The old soldier has been sent out now. The elite soldiers of the Huns have been almost exhausted by this time. If they fight two more games, they should escape!"

Xu Rong didn't explain much. On the battlefield, if all problems can be solved by strategies, then what's the use of Ye Zhao in training so many elite soldiers?

Sometimes, it’s not that there are no better strategies, but that the situation forces you to use the stupidest strategies.
