Liu Xie looked at Han Sui and smiled in his heart.
When I saw the old fox walking outside, I knew that he couldn't hold back his anger.
But with Han Sui's personality, asking for battle may be just a test, and it may not mean that he will really do his best. If the time is not right, you cannot rush to raise the line, otherwise there is still a possibility of decoupling.
"No hurry to do this." Liu Xie raised his hand and pressed it down gently, calm and calm. "I just want to ask the general of Zhenxi how to fight, so as to completely wipe out the invading Xianbei people and keep the cold.
The state has been peaceful for ten years. Although the wolf cavalry has returned, the court has not yet launched a large-scale military force in the grassland. The Xianbei people took the initiative to invade, which is a rare opportunity."
Obedient and listened to the sound, Han Sui understood Liu Xie's worries as soon as he heard it.
This is because I don’t trust my strength and I’m afraid I will waste this opportunity.
But he had to admit that Liu Xie's concerns made sense. It was a very rare opportunity to wait for labor without hard work, rather than to work hard to expedition. If the invading Xianbei people cannot be severely damaged or even wiped out, let them escape into the depths of the grassland, and then every year afterwards
If you harass me, Liangzhou will not be able to settle down.
Liangzhou is uneasy, how can we advance eastward?
It is never easy to severely damage or even wipe out the Xianbei people.
First, the Xianbei people have a lot of troops, and the Han army has no obvious advantages; second, it is outside the border, except for the desert, there are no mountains, and it is dangerously blocked. It is as unrealistic as the last time I surrounded Fu Luohan, and I must rely on the front.
The difficulty of blocking and pursuing expanding the battle results is incomparable.
Obviously, if he could not come up with a plan that would satisfy the emperor, the emperor would not hand over the task to him. He, the general of the West, could only obey the emperor's command like others.
In an instant, Han Sui thought a lot.
He wanted to take on this task, but he knew better that the task was very risky. If he was not careful, it might not be worth the loss.
After hesitating for a long time, Han Sui said carefully: "Your Majesty, I think this battle is of great importance. We should discuss with the generals, gather the intelligence of the king and his subjects, and achieve great things together."
"I think so much about what the General Zhenxi said." Liu Xie agreed. "The generals are either young or lacking in strategy. Only General Zhenxi and Shizhong Jia are resourceful and capable of being good assistants."
Seeing that Liu Xie compared himself with Jia Xu, but did not mention Ma Teng, Han Sui felt happy, but still said a few words of humility.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had a basic combat strategy and proposed a plan to block one after another, fight with heavy cavalry, and pursue with underestimating enemy soldiers. The heavy cavalry he mentioned was not a nail cavalry, but a two-way armor.
Assault cavalry that can assault with spears.
Assault cavalry is the advantage of the Han army. The Xianbei people also had assault cavalry, but their number and equipment were far inferior to that of the Han army. The two armies fought head-on, and assault cavalry attacked each other and fought at close range. The Han army had a clear chance of winning. Then, with strong
It is not difficult to cover the bow and crossbow, and to attack the infantry with shields, block the attacks of the Xianbei people.
This is how the people of Xiliang dealt with the Qiang people. The Xianbei people and the Qiang people had similar tactics, so there should be no problem.
Liu Xie did not comment.
Han Sui's tactics cannot be said to be wrong, and it can even be said that this is a tactic that has been proven feasible in practice. In the Battle of Jieqiao, this is how Qu Yi fought against Gongsun Zan and became famous in one battle.
But it was not good enough, at least it did not meet his expectations.
This may be because Han Sui was not fully prepared and had to come up with such a plan in a hurry. It may be that Han Sui was just tempted and expressed his loyalty verbally, and did not intend to really fight against the Xianbei people.
"What else?"
"And..." Han Sui heard Liu Xie's dissatisfaction and looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and said again: "I am stupid, please give me some advice?"
"Although the general Zhenxi is brave, the number is not as large as that of the Xianbei people. When facing the battle head-on, the casualties will be severe." Liu Xie smiled bitterly. "The court cannot afford such great losses and cannot afford so much pensions. This battle is not only
To win a big victory, you must also minimize casualties as much as possible. General Zhenxi, do you understand what I mean?"
Han Sui nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty loves the soldiers, and I deeply agree. I beg Your Majesty to give me some time, carefully plan, and then offer your Majesty the plan to defeat the enemy."
"Okay, this is the old minister I expect." Liu Xie smiled with relief. "It's just that the Xianbei people will arrive at any time. I hope the general of Zhenxi will hurry up. Look, is it OK tomorrow morning?"
Han Sui's forehead was covered in sweat, but he did not dare to refuse. "As Your Majesty wished."
Liu Xie nodded, picked up a document, and signaled that Han Sui could take his leave.
Han Sui knew it and stood up and left. After leaving the imperial tent, the biting cold wind blew, he shivered. He remembered his performance just now, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He looked around, left the imperial tent, and went to find Yan Xing.
At this moment, besides Cheng Gongying, only son-in-law Yan Xing can help him.
Yan Xing was changing clothes in the tent, preparing for the evening banquet. When Han Sui was coming, he was surprised and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare tea and invite Han Sui to take his seat.
Han Sui sat down, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat. Just now, although he poured a cup of milk tea in the emperor's tent, he didn't have time to drink it, and he was just concerned about answering the emperor's questions. After leaving the tent, he found his throat.
It's almost smoking.
"Yanming, the Xianbei people are coming, have you ever thought about a plan to respond to the enemy?" Han Sui asked calmly.
"Sanqi is the emperor's close attendant. In addition to following the emperor, what other strategies can he have to deal with the enemy?"
"Yanming, that's not what he said." Han Sui took the posture of an elder and advised: "You can't be the right governor of the Sanqi forever. In the future, you will always be like Meng Qi. If you don't show that you will be the only one, you will be the only one.
How can the emperor be assured to let you command troops with the ability? Young people should be more attentive."
Yan Xing lowered his head and said nothing.
At this time, Han Shaoying hurried over and saw Han Sui sitting there. Yan Xing lowered his head and she understood.
Although Han Sui and Yan Xing are father-in-law and son-in-law, their relationship is not good. When Han Sui married her to Yan Xing, he had some coercion. Yan Xing has always been upset about this and is unwilling to take the initiative to go with Han.
So he got close to him. Now Yan Xing has become a close minister of the emperor, and he even respects Han Sui and distances him.
Han Sui also knew Yan Xing’s thoughts and rarely contacted Yan Xing. He took the initiative to come to Yan Xing’s camp. This was the first time.
When she heard that Han Sui was called by the emperor in the imperial camp, she was a little worried about Han Sui and kept paying attention to Han Sui's movements. When she learned that Han Sui had left the imperial tent and came to Yan Xing's big tent, she was afraid that they would have a conflict.
, quickly told others what they had at hand and rushed back to take a look.
"Aweng, have you ever seen the emperor?" Han Shaoying sat down next to Yan Xing and arched Yan Xing's arm.
Han Sui nodded and glanced at Han Shaoying. "The emperor intends to hand over this battle to me. Before the banquet started, I was idle, so I went to Yanming's camp to take a look and listen to Yanming's opinions."
"This is a good thing." Han Shaoying said exaggeratedly: "This is a great opportunity for Liangzhou people. Mr. Jia provides advice, Yanming protects the emperor, Meng Qi takes the lead in facing the enemy, and Aweng presides over the battle. If it succeeds, everyone in Liangzhou will be in charge of the situation.
Successful.”
Yan Xing turned his head and looked at Han Shaoying. A hint of begging appeared in Han Shaoying's eyes, and he said in a nearly whispering voice: "Husband, just help him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Yan Xing smacked his lips and nodded reluctantly. "Aweng, do you know what the biggest special thing about this battle is?"
