Chapter 47 He's

Of course, we must also plan carefully. First try to run Tadun around and see how he is determined. He has set up a trap. If he is not fully prepared this time, Tadun will not be so easily deceived. After all, Tadun is also famous in Liaoxi and Donghu, otherwise he would not have been elected as the Wuhuan New Shanyu.

Gongsun Zan was about to run far away this time, running towards the snowy Mobei to see if Tadun really has the courage to chase him. Towards the south, Tadun might think of a trap, but the north is not the Han territory, the desert grassland, and the territory of the Donghu people.

The direction of Tadun's advance was slightly south at this time, because he was afraid that the Han army would turn south and run back to the Great Wall. If he could force these Han troops to the north, Tadun believed that he would finally catch these hateful Han people on the grassland's home court. He had the intention to fight at this time and had the secret thought of deliberately consuming the elites of various tribes.

More importantly, among the Han army, Gongsun Zan, who was famous in Liaodong, was among them. If he could be solved, the dilemma faced by Tadun would naturally be eliminated.

Therefore, even though he knew that his trip might be dangerous, he led his team without hesitation. After several rampages by the Han army, the storm of the flame demon on the grassland swept over again.

At this time, all tribes were very frightened. This was an opportunity to truly sit firmly on the Wuhuan Shanyu. As long as you have a victory, Tadun could lead his men to subdue the different voices in the tribe.

The tribe is now unstable, Qiu Liju died too quickly, and the transfer of power was not done well. If Tadun had not contacted Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, at that time, he would not have been elected as Shanyu. Even in name, the various tribes of Wuhuan are now very serious. Tadun's own power is not strong. After he left, his tribe might be in danger and might have been annexed by someone. However, these are tribes compared to capturing Gongsun Zan.

As long as you capture Gongsun Zan and return to the army with one blow, your territory will be settled. Only after eliminating the fatal threat from the Han army can Tadun truly free up his hands to integrate the Wuhuan tribe and make great strides towards his great Wuhuan ideal.

Therefore, after receiving the news of Gongsun Zan's whereabouts, Tadun judged that the Han army was exhausted and probably could not fight again. He almost immediately made up his mind to fight.

His decision was definitely not made because of the anger of his tribe's massacre, but because of careful consideration, and his goal was very clear, that is, to win the next battle at any cost.

Trained carrier pigeons can also fly at night. This ancient skill has been promoted by the Han people. The pigeons can only return to their nests and cannot accurately find the target person. However, the golden eagle can be used. After being cultivated, it has been enough to use it in just a few months.

After nightfall, Gongsun Zan finally waited for the message that made him anxious. The detective cavalry judged that Tadun's Wuhuan cavalry was not fast, which seemed to be different from Gongsun Zan's marching speed at this time.

Of course, this may also be a smoke screen deliberately released by Tadun to paralyze Gongsun Zan. The specific judgment and choice depends on Gongsun Zan's own decision.

The existing information can be calculated. During the pursuit process, Tadun cannot move forward at full speed. At full speed, the species in this world are slightly stronger, but the war horse can only run for one hour and have to rest. At ordinary speed, the war horse can gallop for three or four hours in a row, and then after rest and feeding, it can run for three or four hours again. In this way, it can run for three days and then it will have to be cultivated for a period of time.

This is a running method day and night. If you just run during the day and rest at night, as long as there is enough forage, it will not be a big problem to run for a month.

Nowadays, the horses of the Han army are all selected and stolen. Nowadays, they are basically one person and two horses, while the elite heavy riders are one person and three horses, because the heavy riders need to carry more materials, although the heavy riders are all high-headed horses selected from the best.

Compared with the light cavalry, the weight of the weapons carried by the heavy cavalry is more than multiples, because war horses also have armor. Generally speaking, compared with the leather armor of the light cavalry, the heavy cavalry is five times that of the light cavalry, which has protection, weight, impact force and other aspects.

Now that the horsepower is sufficient, in this case, two horses will take turns to run at 80% of the speed. If you are tired, change the horse. This will increase the speed. However, it is okay for a day or two days. If this continues, the state of the war horse will drop seriously. Therefore, it is best not to use too high speed for a long time to chase the horse.

Tadun and Gongsun Zan's speed were not much different. After all, Tadun was behind the Wuhuan tribe, and when he was fighting, he was originally superior to the Han army.

This is also the advantage of the grassland tribe. In the trade between the grassland and the Central Plains, war horses have always been the top priority, so the Han people also established pastures in Longxi and other places to grazed horses, but in all aspects, they were not as good as those on the grassland.

Since Tadun's home court on the grassland, it is easier to obtain supplies, Tadun uses a tactic of forcing and chasing, pulling a net in a certain direction to sprint and chase, forcing Gongsun Zan to a certain aspect, making Gongsun Zan cut off food and supplies, unable to stop and repair effectively. Finally, when the ammunition and food are exhausted, he either turns around and fights to the death, or is finally chased until he is powerless to resist and annihilate.

Those who don’t understand the cavalry fighting on the grassland will not know that this is the real wolf pack tactics. Chasing the enemy to death is the essence of wolf pack tactics.

After fully calculating Tadun's pursuit speed, Gongsun Zan quickly understood the tactics that Tadun could use. After careful consideration, Gongsun Zan decided to gamble with Tadun to see who was chased to death in the end.

The key reason why Gongsun Zan made up his mind was that it was late autumn now. In another half a month, heavy snow would likely fall on the grasslands in the northern part of the country, and snow should have begun to fall further north. Once Gongsun Zan passes through the desert and on the grasslands in the northern part of the country, Tadun will fall into a situation like Gongsun Zan. At that time, the large number of troops will be a burden.

Even if Gongsun Zan made such a decision, just in case, Gongsun Zan still needs to leave another backup so that in the event of a critical situation, whether it is a life-saving straw or the straw that crushes the opponent.

This is what Yang Yi meant. Zhang He had already led his men and sufficient supplies to the place where he was preparing to ambush, because the families in Youzhou who were preparing to turmoil were ready to launch.

Let Zhang He lead the good family to move north first. At this time, the turmoil on the grassland will also block the transmission of news. The Han army, which may be unstable, exchanged. On the grassland, they could only fight for the country and for themselves.

It is much better than falling into the turmoil caused by the gentry and powerful people. Zhang He knew that he had already made a choice at this time. This famous general who left many legends in history naturally understood how he should choose.

He saw it more clearly than Shen Pei and others. You should know that in the original history, Shen Pei and others were basically destroyed with Yuan Shao, and he lived to the end and died in the battlefield decades later. This is also the best destination for a general.

He relied on not only his own family power, but also his ability and wisdom were outstanding. His family background was just a second-rate in Jizhou. Now he was forced by the Yellow Turbans and could only migrate northward.

Because of the system of recommendation, there are only so many ways to rise in each county and country. Local gentry and powerful people definitely do not welcome foreign crossing dragons, let alone the Zhang family is not considered crossing dragons.

...

"Your Highness, the people behind these gentry have been found out."

With the power of the Princess' Mansion, although it has reached the north for less than a year, all aspects should also see the power and power of the Princess' Mansion.

These gentry themselves alone could not have the determination to rebel rebelled. Especially after some gentry clearly expressed their opposition, this is no better than the original historical facts. The Yellow Turbans were trapped in one place, and almost all the four states, including Ji, You, Qing, and even Xu and Jing.

Now, because the eldest princess's mansion guards the northern border, especially the counties and states in northern Hebei, they have been controlled by the eldest princess' mansion, how dare the gentry and tyrants of You, Ji and the three states rebelled again?

There must be someone behind this. I have been dispatching intelligence personnel to investigate during this period. Finally, I found Yuan, the fourth generation and the third generation of Duke, and the general He Jin, who colluded with Yuan.

Yang Yi is not surprised. Now the two sides have irreconcilable conflicts. At the time in Luoyi, they offended He Jin and He Queen behind him. Zhao Zhong, who colluded with He Queen, was killed by Yang Yi's palm, and He broke the help of He's arm in the palace.

Wang Yun, who controlled the He family's power in Yuzhou for He Jin, was openly humiliated by Yang Yi. Soon after, Wang Yun was even stabbed to death by an assassin, and He Jin's power was greatly damaged.

He Jin is very capable. Even if he had not encountered great disputes, it would not be impossible to become a powerful minister of the generation. If he had grasped it well, it would not be impossible to achieve such achievements as Wang Mang.

He Jin's path was also very similar to Wang Mang. At this time, his voice was very good in all aspects, because he had a good relationship with the gentry who had the right to speak, and there were many people who praised him.

This can be clearly seen in historical facts:

In March of the first year of Zhongping, Henan Yin He Jin served as the general. His position as the military leader of the Eastern Han Empire was as stable as a rock and lasted until the fifth year of Zhongping.

In July, the successor of Henan Yin Xuguan was imprisoned and executed. The crime was not recorded in history, and it is speculated that it is related to the Yellow Turban Army.

After that, Henan Yin was Li Xie. Two years later, Li Xie died in office, and the successor was Zhong Mou. After that, Zhong Mou was promoted to He Miao. This was the second official of the family of two thousand stones, and these two thousand stones were still Henan Yin.

The Henan Yin began to implement the county system since the Qin unification, divided the world into 36 counties, and established Sanchuan County in Luoyi. In the early Han Dynasty, the capital of Luoyi was once established. In the early Han Dynasty, the three cities of Qin were changed to Henan County, and the two counties of Henan and Luoyang were established along the Qin Dynasty, which belonged to Henan County. The county was governed by Luoyang. During the reign of Emperor Wu, the thirteen prefectures in the world were established. Henan belonged to Sili. In the 15th year of Jianwu, Henan County was changed to Henan County and also appointed Sili County.

The rank of the Sili lieutenant was 2,000 stones, and later it was changed to 2,000 stones. The officials were engaged in the work and false servants, and they also led the military servants composed of 1,200 Zhongdu officials and disciples. The Sili lieutenant was named because of this. The Sili lieutenant has always been a secret supervisor who supervised the capital and the surrounding areas of the capital.

This is equivalent to grasping the inside and outside the capital. In February of the fourth year of Zhongping, a Yellow Turban Army rebellion broke out in Yinxingyang County, Henan, Sili. The magistrate of Zhongmu County Luo Hao and the lord Bo Pan Ye were killed in battle. He Miao, who was the Yin of Henan at the time, led his army to attack the Yellow Turban Army. The court sent the Censor Huan Dian as the envoy to serve as the general.

After He Miao pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Xingyang, Liu Hong sent envoys to Chenggao County to work hard, appointed He Miao as General of the Chariot and Cavalry, and was granted the title of Marquis of Jiyang, and went further.

Since then, He Jin and He Miao have occupied the first and third places in the Han military positions. The top three positions in the Han Empire were from high to low: General, General Cavalry, and General Cavalry.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, rebellions in the country broke out one after another. Only He Miao, Sun Jian, Lu Kang, Wang Min, and Yang Xu were the only ones who successfully suppressed the rebellion. However, for the harsh situation in the country, it was still a drop in the bucket. At this time, Liu Hong also noticed something was wrong, set up the "Xiyuan Army" and gave General Cavalry to Dong Chong.

Dong Chong, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, the biological mother of Emperor Ling, and the establishment of the "Xiyuan Army" and the appointment of the General of the Cavalry, divided He Jin's military power. At this time, Liu Hong was very alert to He Jin. As the division continued, He Jin's power declined greatly. He Jin's aide Yuan Shao became the central lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army, and even He Jin had to obey the orders of the Shangjun Academy Jian Shuo.

So later, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, sent Zhang Yang to lead his army to Beijing to pay homage to Jian Shuo, not He Jin.

He Jin was unwilling to lose power, so he thought of a solution, which was to recruit foreign troops to Beijing on the grounds of military parade.

Liu Hong was not vague. In October, at the optimistic military parade, there were parades of one big and one small. Liu Hong took over the big and He Jin took over the small. However, after the military parade, Liu Hong looked at Dong Chong and handed over all the foreign troops to He Jin again. At this time, he also showed that although He Jin took over the power, his vision was limited and he was not troubled.

Since Jian Shuo was not at all involved in the military parade, Jian Shuo also saw the crisis and knew that he might lose power at this time, and he did not want to admit defeat. So he and the Zhongchangshi suggested to Liu Hong: Send He Jin to lead the army to attack the rebels in Liangzhou, and Liu Hong followed the situation to approve it.

How could He Jin agree to leave Luoyang at this time? Knowing that this was Jian Shuo's plan to "transfer tigers from the mountain", He Jin proposed to ask Yuan Shao to go to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to recruit soldiers first. When Yuan Shao comes back, he will lead his army to fight. This is He Jin's "slow-down plan".

Liu Hong also saw the clues and ignored He Jin. In November, he sent Left General Huangfu Song and former general Dong Zhuo to lead his army to Chencang to attack the rebels in Liangzhou. In February of the following year, the rebels in Liangzhou retreated, and nothing happened to him later.

On April 11, the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong died in the Nangong Jiade Hall, and the last order was entrusted to Jian Shuo, but He Jin did not let He Jin take the lead in his life. Why is this? Because he wanted to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty, he did not give He Jin any chance or name to usurp the throne.

At this time, there were rumors that Liu Hong did not like his eldest son Liu Bian during his lifetime, but Liu Xie, so he hoped to make Liu Xie the crown prince, but because the He family was too strong in the court, he was unable to decide for a long time.

This is to some extent the content of Liu Hong's will is: Let Jian Shuo support Liu Xie ascend the throne.

In fact, Liu Hong just entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo, that's all. Wang Mang's past experience, Liu Hong was not stupid. He tried to pull and beat He Jin and saw that He Jin had limited ability and could only become a powerful minister. He could not become Wang Mang. If He Jin helped Liu Bian, wait for Liu Bian to grow up, the He family would also decline. It is not worth worrying. The rule of the Han Dynasty was basically continued like this.
