During the Maodun period, the Xiongnu Empire's only strategy was: I'll beat anyone who offends me.

There is no unified plan and priorities at all.

But when the old Shanyu was in his hands, the talented and strategic old Shanyu transformed the Xiongnu. Especially after getting the theory of Zhongxing, and with the help of this eunuch of the Han Dynasty, the Huns began to count the livestock population and plan for the first time.

The grazing order, at the same time, also has strategic awareness and combat deployment.

From then on, the Xiongnu, as an empire, really began to reach its peak.

It was through such a transformation that the Huns were able to defeat the powerful Yuezhi people, establish their own hegemony on this grassland, and rule the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

"Reporting to Da Shanyu, I have already thought about it..." Lan Tuoxin knelt down and said, "I just don't know, does Da Dan only want to get Mayi, or does he also want to get Yanmen?"

Of course I just want to get Mayi!

Yanmenguan City has high walls and thick walls. It is not that easy to take it down!

Moreover, the attack on Mayi can also be said to be a lesson to the Han Dynasty, letting the Han Dynasty know that the Huns are not easy to mess with, and forcing the Han Dynasty to hand over the Wusun people.

But if Yanmen Pass is attacked.

The military officials knew with their buttocks that their grumpy son-in-law would definitely expand the war!

The three generations of the Liu family are all the same!

Starting from Liu Heng, as long as the Xiongnu army dared to cross the Great Wall, then, no matter what, they would have to fight for a year and a half before deciding whether to negotiate peace!

The military officials are still thinking of robbing Dawan craftsmen!

How could he spend so much time fighting with the Han Dynasty at the foot of the Great Wall?

But, of course, as a chanyu and military minister, we cannot say this.

As a Chanyu, he needs to prove his iron-bloodedness and toughness to both domestic and foreign countries at all times.

"What if we only take Mayi? What if we take Yanmen?" The military minister sat down and asked.

"Report to the Great Chanyu!" Lan Tuoxin kowtowed and said: "If the Great Chanyu wants to capture Yanmen as well, then he must mobilize thousands of cavalry from the royal court, and also mobilize thousands of cavalry from Luhou, Zhelan and other tribes.

, combined with the ten thousand cavalry of Ruo Lu, Lou Fan and King You Xian, we need at least 140,000 cavalry, traveling under the stars and night, launching an attack when the moon is full, and retreating when the moon is waning!"

The military minister nodded as he listened.

Since ancient times, the Huns have fought according to the waxing and waning of the moon.

When the moon is full, attack with all your strength; when the moon is waning, retreat.

This was due to traditional and religious reasons, but also because the supply of the Huns' cavalry could only sustain the offensive for half a month.

They must return to the grassland and replenish supplies before the supplies they carry are used up.

Otherwise, how could the cavalry fighting on an empty stomach fight with others?

However, mobilizing 140,000 cavalry is impossible for the Huns today!

Ten years ago, the painful lesson at the foot of the Great Wall taught the Huns that with more than 100,000 troops, they would definitely lose money if they came to the Han Dynasty.

Because once more than 100,000 Huns cavalry appeared near the Great Wall.

The entire Han Dynasty felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and mobilized the whole country.

They often stock up hundreds of thousands of cavalry near the Great Wall.

Then the two sides stared at each other for a year and a half.

When both sides can't stand it anymore, we start discussing the ending.

Although the Han Dynasty suffered heavy losses, just the transfer of a large number of young people would lead to the abandonment of large areas of land in the north.

But how can the Xiongnu be an exception?

On the vast grasslands, large areas of fertile pastures have been occupied by thieves and robbers.

Even tribal women can be seduced, and many of them will have green hair on their heads.

Even if these issues are not taken into account, if hundreds of thousands of cavalry are eating and drinking at the foot of the Great Wall, a livestock herd of two to three million will be needed.

If you can grab a lot of wealth, people and materials, then forget it!

The key is that in the context of the Han-Hungarian War, the Han Dynasty would set fire to all villages and fields exposed outside the city.

Even wells are poisoned!

And attacking a fortified city will only end in heavy casualties!

Therefore, when most of the Xiongnu nobles, including military officials, heard that so many cavalry were being mobilized to go south, their heads shook like rattles.

"Let's talk about it again. What if this Chanyu only wants Ma Yi?" the military minister asked after considering his words.

"If we only need to take Mayi, the Chanyu only needs to mobilize ten thousand cavalry from the three tribes Lou Fan, Ruolu and Zhelan, with King Youxian as the vanguard, and take Mayi by surprise!" Lan Tuoxin knelt on the ground and said.

"Chan Yu Mingjian, I, the Xiongnu, often went south after the tenth month of winter. Therefore, the Han Dynasty did not have strict defenses in summer and autumn, but in winter, they were extra vigilant! The slave thought that maybe we could catch the Han Dynasty

With this mentality, he went south in August or September, and under unexpected circumstances of the Han Dynasty, he made a surprise attack on Mayi!"

"If this is the case, please order the Ruolu tribe and the Zhelan tribe to get up immediately and move south to the Hetao to join the Loufan tribe!" Lan Tuoxin revealed all the strategies he had thought about hard. In his view,

Come on, this plan is perfect!

Taking advantage of the inertial thinking of the Han Dynasty people and choosing to fight in autumn instead of the usual winter, the Han Dynasty would definitely be caught off guard.

"Chiefs, what do you think of Landosin's plan?" The military minister turned to the other tribal leaders and asked.

But his heart was actually moved.

For any Xiongnu Chanyu.

If you have the opportunity to go south to make a fortune, why not go?

What's more, this time the Han Dynasty gave itself a perfect excuse.

Accommodating the enemies of the Xiongnu would be a slap in the face of the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu's retaliatory attack on a city outside the Great Wall would not count as breaking the peace treaty.
