But once the Sichuan army enters this canyon, they will definitely suffer heavy losses if they are ambushed.
"Ambush?" Liu Zhang was suddenly startled when he thought of this. Even if two thousand chariots and troops were ambushed, it would be impossible to defeat the Sichuan army. The Tengjia army was invulnerable and could not even cause serious damage. So what was the use of an ambush?
Fire attack, Liu Zhang immediately thought of these two words. A very weak army will defeat a powerful army, and there are only a few strategies available. The terrain here is really suitable for fire attack.
Dahamu obviously saw the fact that the Tengjia Army was easily attacked by fire. He wanted to completely destroy the Tengjia Army. Liu Zhang was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had been leading the army in battles all year round and had a lot of military knowledge, otherwise he would have been fooled.
, this Dahamu is indeed not only capable of brute force.
He almost capsized in the gutter, and Liu Zhang secretly warned himself that he must not take it lightly even when facing a weak army in the future.
"Husband, what did you see?" Xiao Furong asked worriedly.
Liu Zhang said: "Dahamu wants to attack us with fire, so we cannot enter the mountain."
"Then what should we do? Do we want that kid to be free in the mountains?" He was so powerful that he failed to kill Dahamu twice instantly, and he felt extremely unhappy. When Liu Zhang decided to give up attacking Beilu Houguo in Pulei, he was so bad that he was so powerful, and now he is going to other people's homes.
It's in front of me, but I still can't attack. It's so powerful, and I'm even more upset.
"Of course not, I still want to see the Black Wood Forest." Liu Zhang turned to Xiao Furong: "Rong'er, it seems that you are going to have a hard time this time. I heard the girl from Beilu said that the mountain behind Wangfu Mountain is very dangerous.
Only some herb collectors can go up, can your white-pole soldiers go up?"
"Don't worry, husband, if the herb collectors can get there, we can get there." Xiao Furong's bright eyes gave Liu Zhang a look of reassurance. She did not comfort Liu Zhang. After so many years of training, the Baigan Army has already surpassed the unprecedented in history.
Become a flying army and become a professional mountain troop.
Wherever the herb collectors can go, the white pole army will definitely be able to go.
Liu Zhang nodded: "Okay, I'll catch Dahamu's attention from the front. You go up from the mountain behind Wangfu Mountain to the top of the mountain." Liu Zhang pointed to a top of the mountain with not many trees blocking the view, "You wave the flag, I
Will attack."
"Yes." Xiao Furong gave a military salute and led the white-poled army around the mountain. Liu Zhang led the army to rest at the mountain pass and called King Mulu.
"Your Highness, call me Mulu. What are your orders?" King Mulu heard the call and immediately ran over. Since the Sichuan army started fighting in the Western Regions, King Mulu, who had no soldiers in his hands, was panicking. Liu Zhang also
He is not allowed to rush to kill. It can be said that since the beginning of the war, he has not killed a single enemy, and he has gained no credit at all.
King Mulu, who had already been depressed, heard Liu Zhang calling him alone, and immediately knew that there was an important task. He was overjoyed and came to Liu Zhang as quickly as possible.
"King Mulu, I have to ask you this time. Dahamu must be preparing a fire attack on us somewhere. We can't get in, but our people can't get in. Your treasures can definitely get in. You know what to do.
Bar."
Although Liu Zhang newly established Dianzhou, King Mulu's Banadong was also in Dianzhou, and it was a princely state under the Han Dynasty. He only retained the title of king, but King Mulu, unlike Wutugu, did not formally surrender.
He cannot be considered a member of the Sichuan Army.
But now King Mulu and the kings of other tribes have already regarded themselves as members of the Sichuan Army.
The soft attack policy left by Wang Xu was a chronic corrosive method. On the surface, it was all about providing benefits to the barbarians and Qiang people, such as mutual trade, free migration, bounties and titles, and extra points for the barbarian Qiang people in the four civil service examinations.
.
It can be said that both the upper and lower classes of barbarians can feel the benefits firsthand.
However, in the mutual trade, the Sichuan army deliberately gave up the power of fair sales to the barbarian nobles. The lower barbarians could only buy at high prices and sell at low prices, so that they could only find their nobles to buy and sell on their behalf. This would inevitably lead to the privileges and corruption of their nobles, and
Tie their nobles to a Sichuan army boat.
Free migration also deprives the barbarians of their population. Because of this, the Sichuan army fought against the barbarians and Qiang people, but after defeating them, they had to accept free migration, so that their people could see the benefits of migration, because no matter what
, life in Han areas will be better than in barren barbarian lands.
This is a great temptation for the barbarian people, and once this temptation is placed in front of them, the barbarian nobles cannot stop it and can only let the people migrate there, especially when encountering disasters that often occur in barbarian lands.
The bounties and titles were basically aimed at the barbarian nobles, and they were also given privileges. Liu Zhang even intended to turn some non-hereditary tribes into hereditary tribes, using titles to indirectly control the barbarian forces.
The gold and silver rewards contributed to the integration of the barbarians and the Han people, while other luxuries aggravated the corruption of the barbarians.
and other soft-attack policies, almost all of them are superficially friendly to the barbarians, but in fact they are digging into the foundations of the barbarians and corrupting their upper echelons. However, these cannot be seen on the surface. On the surface, they are all benevolence, even if there are individual barbarians who see it.
Being unique cannot reverse the general trend.
Those people with unique vision among the barbarians have to face the nobles who have vested interests under the soft-aggression policy, and the barbarian people who long for life in the Han area and stable mutual trade. What they are facing is not something they can overthrow.
What's more, people like King Mulu are not people with unique vision.
The barbarian nobles such as King Mulu have adapted to the Sichuan Army's new policy, which is at least better than when they were separated. Moreover, after actually joining the Sichuan Army in the war, they discovered that the world is vast, the wealth of other places is different, and their vision is different. Only then did they realize that they had
That bit of heaven and earth really doesn't mean anything.
Liu Zhang promised them that they could serve in the Sichuan Army. They were naturally moved, but they were just making final considerations.
But regardless of whether they surrender or not, they now regard themselves as people in the same boat as the Sichuan Army. The soft-attack policy left by Wang Xu is mutual benefit and common prosperity, which will slowly corrupt the upper class, cause the barbarians to divide up and down, and promote population return and national integration.
, stabilize the frontier with a soft knife.
Liu Zhang used Wang Xu's policy not to do anything to the foreigners, but to slowly integrate the foreigners into the Han Dynasty, without the integration of the division of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and also to allow many ethnic minorities to be assimilated by the Han people, and at the same time expand the land of the Han people.
The Sichuan army could not conquer and annihilate purely by force. Even if it could do it, it would not last long and would only create further estrangement. It could only use both kindness and power like the battle between the Western Qiang and the Southern Barbarians.
And now it seems that the effect is not bad. At least the Southern Barbarian tribes have recognized the existence of Dianzhou, and the Xiqiang army has become an auxiliary army of the Sichuan army, and Dong Qingyi has an absolute advantage in the Xiqiang grassland.
At this time, King Mulu listened to Liu Zhang's words and immediately clapped his chest: "Your Highness, don't worry, keep it with me, I will make the blood of those bastards in Dahamu."
King Mulu climbed up a big tree, stood on the branch, picked up the bell and shook it. The clear "ding-ding" sound sounded like music in the mountain stream. An eagle hovered over a jungle, and there were poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders and centipedes.
Gather in the direction of the eagle.
"What's the sound?" Daham heard the sound of Ti Zhong and was a little confused.
All the chariot officers and soldiers also heard it, and the sound of the bell still sounded very pleasant, like a clear spring in this silent mountain. Daham asked his subordinates to use gestures to ask the people on a tree outside, "Are the Sichuan troops coming up?"
"
The hand on the tree waved.
Dahamu frowned suddenly, why didn't he come up? Has he been discovered? It shouldn't be?
At this time, an eagle was flying in the sky. Daham was immediately surprised. It was not that there were no eagles in the car, but eagles usually flew across the sky. Even if they were hovering, they would be in a very large area. How could they be in such a small area?
He was hovering at low altitude, but it happened to be above his own ambush?
"Get the bow and arrow."
Dahamu handed over his hand to his subordinates, and a hard bow appeared in his hand. Dahamu aimed an arrow at the eagle, but the eagles trained by King Mulu were all trained to avoid bows and arrows, and were sensitive to the sound of the bowstrings. When the bowstrings sounded, then
The eagle screamed "Wow" and rushed high into the sky.
Daham was even more confused.
"Your Majesty, have we been discovered?" Following the eagle's "wow" call, a general also noticed that the eagle was unusual.
"Huh, so what if they are discovered. The jungle here is dense and the Sichuan army is not familiar with the terrain. If they come in, they will only be ambushed. If they are afraid of being ambushed, they can only stay outside and they will not retreat soon."
Daham's words reassured all the soldiers. Indeed, the jungle here is dense. If the Sichuan army came in, it would be strange to take advantage of the Che division soldiers who were familiar with the terrain.
Liu Zhang looked at the eagle soaring into the sky and suddenly said: "This eagle is not bad. Why didn't I realize that it also has the function of high-altitude reconnaissance? If this eagle is used well, there will be nothing to hide except ambushes under the soil."
The reason why it was easy to be ambushed during marches and battles in ancient times was because scouts, rangers and sentries were used to explore the route base. However, these human factors not only prevented careful exploration, but also led to detection and even shooting.
When an army is marching, it is impossible to send dense sentinels everywhere, so the marching speed will be a tortuous pace.
And with the cooperation of this eagle and Youtan, it is a great weapon to open the way.
Wang Xu nodded. He followed Liu Zhang on his expeditions to the north and south. Although he rarely took action, he still had some basic military knowledge. He knew the trouble of exploring the road, so he understood the benefits of the eagle.
After more than two hours, the ambush soldiers in Daham became impatient, thinking that they had been discovered by the Sichuan army. The Sichuan army did not dare to come in and took out dry food to eat.
At this time, the Sichuan Army sentry sent a message. Liu Zhang looked towards the bare mountaintop where he had agreed with Xiao Furong. From a distance, he saw a man waving a flag. Liu Zhang did not hesitate and gave the order to attack Wu Tu Gu.
Wu Tu Gu only brought two thousand vine-armored soldiers into the mountain pass, and tried to disperse them as much as possible to attack the eagle hovering below.
