Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 166 His Routine Operations, Standing Alone

Xiongguan at the junction of Shanggu County and Yuyang County.

On the top of the city, Zhao Xin, the surrendered general who returned to the Huns, put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, overlooking the land of the Han Dynasty below the city.

Xiongguan was built on the mountain, and the grass and trees within a few miles below the city were cleared to prevent people from hiding and approaching, and the line of sight was endless.

Xin Zhao did not expect that Xiongcheng, which the Xiongnu had been attacking for many years without breaking through, would welcome him in because of the Han people's infighting.

He didn't even expect that Han Huainan King actually had contact with Yi Zhixie Da Shanyu, and the two sides were cooperating to deal with the big Han.

Of course, Xin Zhao's entry into the city is restricted.

He only brought some people in, and they pretended to change into Han Chinese clothes.

"General Zhao."

Standing beside Xin Zhao was a 27-year-old, burly youth.

Xin Zhao only knew that the other party was called Xiong Yan, and it was he who led the people to mobilize in the city, cooperated with the internal forces, and captured this grand pass.

Xin Zhao could feel that the other party had a strong military practice.

He estimated that Xiong Yan might be an important person secretly cultivated by King Huainan.

Xiong Yan has a majestic appearance, his face has sharp turns, his eyes are cold and arrogant, and he is wearing a battle armor, which has a compelling imposing aura.

In fact, Xiong Yan is one of the four military seeds carefully cultivated by the dark forces. Inside, they are called the Four Generals.

And the surname 'Xiong' itself represents many things.

Xiong Yan's ancestor was an aristocrat in the Warring States Period.

"I have received news that there is a Han army, about [-] in number, who left Chang'an late last night and rushed to Yuyang. The leader of the army is the champion who has been famous all over the world in recent months, and the emperor's close minister!" Xiong Yan smiled.

He said it easily, but Xin Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

He followed Wei Qing for several years and had side contact with Huo Qubing.

Knowing how much Wei Qing and the emperor praised this talented general who rose like a comet and shined like a great man.

And he is more aware of the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu Central Army.

Such a team was defeated by Huo Qubing with fewer fights and more. In Zhao Xin's view, it was almost a miraculous record, so he was secretly shocked when he heard Huo Qubing's name.

"I heard that the champion has the ability to run thousands of miles. Coincidentally, I am also good at using soldiers to surprise the enemy."

Xiong Yan said proudly: "I have received news that Champion Hou will be able to arrive in Yuyang in about a day and a night. That is to say, from now on, he may appear outside Xiongguan here at any time to confront us.

General Zhao thought that the news that he could arrive in a day and night was true? "

Xin Zhao: "...maybe."

Xiong Yan smiled and said: "I hope he really has this ability. My military practice is short of a big battle to nourish my energy and seek a breakthrough. If I can defeat this famous general, it will be of great benefit to me."

"If Huo Qubing can be defeated, it will be of great benefit to any general.

But I suggest to defend the city according to this, and rely on the thick walls of the city to curb Huo Qubing's attack.

No matter how brave his soldiers are, he will never want to break through this mighty pass. "Zhao said.

Xiong Yan smiled, "Hasn't General Zhao considered setting up an ambush outside the city to hit the Han army head-on?"

Xin Zhao is different from Xiong Yan, he has been through battles for a long time, and he has developed a cautious character.

But he can feel that Xiong Yan's military talent is very high, and some vigor is understandable.

"Huo Qubing is not so easy to stop. His marching method is not only fast, but also very stealthy, so he can take the initiative every time he rushes. If you rush out of the city, you may not even find his position." Zhao Xin is old-fashioned.

Xiong Yan disagreed and said:
"It seems that General Zhao is not good at calculating in military affairs, there are only two roads suitable for marching from Chang'an to Yuyang.

One is the official road that goes out of Chang'an and advances rapidly to the northeast, and the remaining roads are detours, which are not suitable for marching.

The second way is to go to the Dingxiang line first, and then drive eastward along the road. "

"I have analyzed Huo Qubing's world-famous two battles. In order to pursue the fastest speed, there is a high probability that he will choose to leave Chang'an and go straight to Yuyang."

Xin Zhao secretly thought that the analysis was correct, and he also had the same judgment.

Xiong Yan is eager to try: "On both routes, I have arranged scouts who practice the secret technique of listening to the wind and investigating the land to investigate closely.

As long as the Han army shows a trace, I will immediately launch an attack to block it, compete with the champion Hou, and make him my defeat. "

Xin Zhao reacted and said, "You want my men to support you?"

"That's right, we have deployed tens of thousands of elites along the line from Yuyang to the east this time. The Han emperor never imagined why we have so many elites available. In addition to your [-] elite horsemen from the Huns, we can rely on the strength of the city. Lee, more than enough to hold on."

Xiong Yan said: "It's a pity that I'm just a vanguard, and the transfer of all the soldiers and horses is not my responsibility.

I can mobilize only a few thousand elites, and after I defeat Huo Qubing's troops, I still want to take advantage of the trend and advance westward for a certain distance.

The order given to you by the Xiongnu is to disturb the Han territory, and join me to stop the Han army, which is in line with the order given to you by Shan Yu, how about it? "

Xin Zhao looked sideways and took a good look at Xiong Yan.

This Xiong Yan was very ambitious, he spent so much time talking in front of him, he wanted to turn the defense into an offense, lobbying him to take the initiative to stop the Han army together.

Between the ups and downs of his thoughts, he already understood Xiong Yan's state of mind.

He wanted to become famous in the first battle, and used Han Jun and Huo Qubing as stepping stones, so he tried his best to encourage himself to help.

Xin Zhao refused: "I advise you to be more prudent, you may have a good military talent, but you lack actual combat experience."

Xiong Yan sneered and said, "It's fine if you don't agree, but the fighter plane was completely consumed during your hesitation."

The sky slowly darkened.

Xiong Yan glanced at the vast wilderness outside the city, but there was no movement: "The champion is still missing at this time, it seems that you have overestimated his marching ability.

He obviously couldn't get here in a day and night. "

----

Weiyang Palace.

Sunset setting.

Everyone in the study watched with bated breath. In the picture, Huo Qubing had a group of [-] people, and the attack was so sharp and ferocious that it was extremely shocking.

With the passage of time, the battle situation in the city that was captured by Huo Qubing has basically stabilized.

With lightning speed, he led his troops and broke into a city just like that.

Everyone took a breath.

The emperor said: "Unfold the topographic map!"

Dong Xu and other servants immediately took out a leather map of the big man and its surrounding borders, and hung it on one side.

The emperor stared at the map with unusually bright eyes, got up himself, and drew a red line on the map with a pen.

That was the latest judgment made by the emperor on his marching route after he left Chang'an after seeing the city that Huo Qubing had breached.

Completely different from what was expected.

After Huo Qubing left Chang'an, it was right to go all the way to the northeast, but instead of going straight to Yuyang and Shanggu counties, he went obliquely to Beiguan, and then went directly out of Beiguan, taking advantage of the edge of the grassland where the Xiongnu and Han handed over The area is flat and open, and the horse is fully galloped.

Judging from the route drawn by the emperor, Huo Qubing was advancing in a straight line along Beiguan to the east. On the way, he passed the Xiongcheng at the junction of Yuyang and Shanggu County but did not enter, and directly hit another big city further behind the two counties.

The first target of Huo Qubing's raid was Youbeiping County, which is further east of Yuyang County!

Why did you attack Beiping County first?

Where is the strategic significance?

Last night, Huo Qubing was in this study, analyzed the Huainan mobilization, and first occupied Xiongguan at the junction of Shanggu County and Yuyang County.

The second place to occupy is between Liaoxi County and Liaodong County.

These two locations are the most important to the Huainan rebels.

After Huainan was launched, it really took the lead in occupying the Xiongguan between Shanggu and Yuyang.

The city of Youbeiping County, where Huo Qubing attacked, does not sound related to the above two important places.

But in fact its geographical location is exactly between the two.

Huo Qubing knocked down the seemingly unimportant Youbeiping County, just like driving a nail between the two, splitting the two into two, no matter how difficult it is to take care of each other.

And after occupying Beiping County City, it is tantamount to isolating the Xiongguan between Shanggu County and Yuyang County, making it lose its backing, and becoming the right Beiping County County City that was attacked by the Han Army before and Huo Qubing just broke through. in the middle.

The situation between the enemy and ourselves has changed a lot since Huo Qubing captured Youbeiping County.

Youbeiping County, which was not important at first, suddenly became important because of his raid and occupation. It was like turning decay into magic strategically, which was enough to contain the enemy's forces and put them in a dilemma.

On paper, attacking Youbeiping County does not seem to be difficult.

But before Huo Qubing launched the offensive, neither the enemy nor the enemy could see the importance of this hidden point.

Everyone was thinking hard, and all their eyes were fixed on the junction of Yuyang and Shanggu County.

Only Huo Qubing saw through the entire strategic trend from a macro perspective, and he grabbed his opponent by the throat.

This is the essence of blitzkrieg, where the opponent is most vulnerable and uncomfortable.

Huo Qubing's attack evaded the heavy ones, instead of attacking the Xiongcheng occupied by the opponent, he instead attacked Beiping County. It was not a Xiongcheng, and it was unexpected.

Huainan didn't even expect that Huo Qubing would take the route of advancing beyond the border, and the speed of the march was unimaginable.

Moreover, there was also the inherent Han army in the city, which did not completely surrender to the enemy and took advantage of the situation, so it was defeated by Huo Qubing in a short period of time.

The emperor and others saw him break into the city of Youbeiping County just now, so they realized his combat intention.

Looking at the map at this moment, the situation is particularly clear.

In the northeast corner of the Han Dynasty, on the right of Beiping County, the emperor wrote a big Huo character in his own handwriting, which is dazzling.

Because of the appearance of the character Huo, the area Huainan intends to occupy was cut in half.

This is the difference between famous generals and ordinary generals.

It didn't seem that difficult, but only after he finished it did others realize that it was still possible to play like this.

Both the enemy and the enemy have tens of thousands of troops, and only Wei Qing guessed after thinking that his nephew might want to go to Beiping County instead of attacking Shanggu and Yuyang dangerous pass head-on.

"Look, Qubing reversed Huainan's plan with just one blow, like a spear piercing the throat, making it difficult for him to advance and retreat." Liu Che said.

Dong Zhongshu and the others were also dumbfounded, their hearts were like turbulent waves, each wave was higher than the other.

Dong Zhongshu's hair almost turned gray last night, and he couldn't figure out how to resolve the opponent's tricks.

"That's how it is, attack it by surprise."

This is what Gong Sunhong said just now.

For Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, the fighting methods that other generals could realize only when they had a flash of inspiration were just routine operations.

"Pass down my order to let the Beiguan frontier army advance eastward, cooperate with the Qubing offensive, and attack Shanggu and Yuyang County back and forth." Liu Che was very excited.

Wei Qing said: "Attacking Beiping County on the right should only be the first method of marching for Qubing.

He has the ability to solve the Xiongcheng between Shanggu County and Yuyang County by himself, so he doesn't need to send troops. "

The ministers became more and more horrified.

But when he thought about it, it was Huo Qubing's character to resolve the battle independently, relying on the three thousand troops he brought to defeat all opponents.

The battle is just beginning.

"The empress sent someone to ask, will your majesty go back to Jiaofang hall to rest at night?" Dong Xu received the report from the servant and asked with his ear.

At a time like this, why should you rest? How can a concubine go to bed and fight a war? I can watch it all night... Liu Che waved his hand and told Dong Xu to retreat.

The ministers were also full of interest, looking forward to what Huo Qubing would do next to change the situation on the battlefield.
