Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 154: The court decides, I, the Zhang family, dare to be the first in the world!

That night.

Under the dim light.

Zhang Wei looked at the map in front of the screen.

Frowning in thought.

In front of the candle in the study, Zhang Wangcheng had a grimace on his face.

"Brother, it's time to rest early. After all, even if we think carefully, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is far from being able to fully think about it."

Zhang Wangcheng's persuasion did not have much effect.

Zhang Wei was still thinking hard.

The main thing is that this matter is really of great importance.

Judging from Wang Hui's performance and ending in history.

He is an unwavering militant.

He was also the person who initiated the first battle between the Xiongnu and the Han.

According to historical records, the first battle between the Han and the Xiongnu failed, and there was only one casualty.

And the big Han did not achieve any victory.

In other words, the big man's strategy had no effect at all.

The Huns were extremely cautious.

The encirclement of the big man was in vain.

Such a siege is a waste of labor and resources, a waste of people and money.

Instead, it ended up like a joke.

As for this casualty.

There is no doubt that it was Wang Hui who made a major decision-making mistake.

The war failed, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed an outlet.

The big man also needs a scapegoat.

Wang Hui, a staunch militant and a so-called opportunist, did his part.

however.

In the present moment, all this is no longer true.

Zhang Wei's Zhang family became the unswerving main war faction, while Wang Hui became an insignificant little player.

It can only be said that it gave Zhang Wei some inspiration in strategy.

to be honest.

He, Zhang Wei, wanted to improve the status of his Zhang family.

He specially took over the burden from Wang Hui.

However, this opportunity is not so easy to obtain.

It is an opportunity and a challenge.

If Zhang Wei wins this battle and changes history, the Zhang family will definitely be able to take a further step.

If it is like in history and returns without success...

Even if the Zhang family would not be directly executed like Wang Hui.

It will definitely lead to trouble.

Gossip is definitely inevitable.

It even fell out of favor.

"Wangcheng, now we have solved the problem of what kind of benefits and other details. Now the main thing is how we can let the Xiongnu lower their defense and vigilance and be able to step into our siege. What's more, if they send out scouts What should we do about the ambush that tests us?”

Zhang Wei spoke slowly.

Regarding the question Zhang Wangcheng raised at the beginning.

He was still confused.

Mainly still.

Zhang Wangcheng’s words.

It exactly reflects the rapid changes in the battlefield situation and the cunning and greed of the Huns.

In ancient battlefields, there were soldiers such as scouts. Their role was to detect the enemy's situation, convey information, and provide appropriate plans for the subsequent large forces.

Therefore, the conditions for success such as ambush and subsequent victory are actually very strict.

It doesn't matter if Zhang Wei doesn't investigate.

Judging from the terrain collected by the Zhang family caravan.

This area of ​​Mayi.

The terrain is rugged and steep, and it is a rare pocket-like terrain outside the Great Wall.

If the Xiongnu really stepped into this place, even if the Han sent an ambush army far smaller than the number of the Xiongnu, they would definitely be able to catch them all.

but,

The problem lies here.

The most important thing is how they can ensure that the Huns can step in.

Even Zhang Wei, who has no military knowledge, can realize that the terrain is dangerous and it is very likely to lead to a situation like catching a turtle in an urn.

Chanyu, as the leader of the Xiongnu king's tent, it is impossible for him to not know this.

This made the already crude plan even worse.

"Brother, I wonder if we can provide enough benefits, and even make this benefit so huge that it is difficult for the Huns to refuse, so..."

Zhang Wangcheng suggested.

In fact, it is still a bit immature.

Fundamentally true.

If the interests are great enough, the Xiongnu will inevitably take risks.

just.

In a small frontier place, what kind of things can the Hungarian Chanyu obtain regardless of danger?

the answer is negative.

Zhang Wei pondered.

In her hands, Du Niang was running at high speed.

How did Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty lure the Xiongnu to Mayi in their first battle with them?

There is no answer.

In other words, the answer was so simple that he couldn't believe it.

Soon, his brows relaxed again.

The answer given to him by Du Niang in front of him was very simple.

The key lies in Nie Yi.

In fact, all the keys to the implementation of the Han's plan came from this.

The most important thing is the core of Nie Yi.

Because of him, the Han Dynasty was able to come up with the idea of ​​ambushing the Huns in a siege style.

It's because of him.

This was the beginning of this labor-intensive campaign.

Although the ending of the battle was not so satisfactory.

but.

At least there is hope.

At least Zhang Wei's slight changes should be able to bring about a better ending.

If history is not so absolute.

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei couldn't help but curse.

Hope everything can change.

in this way……

Zhang Wei nodded.

"I will finalize this matter with His Majesty at the meeting tomorrow. For more details, I think we can still brainstorm on the road. I want to hear the voices of the military generals."

……

The next day.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Everyone who loves you, please be free of any courtesy."

Liu Che waved his hand casually.

Look around.

However, he found that the atmosphere in the entire court gradually became clearer.

Gives people a refreshing feeling.

Now, they Han decided to fight the Huns.

Many surrender factions knew that they had no way to hinder this grand trend.

Han Anguo and other surrender factions.

Turtle huddle.

There are also many people who choose to jump out.

Especially this guy Han Anguo.

I quickly changed my mind.

After all, he is also an experienced general.

Moreover, in the preliminary canonization of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he also served as the protector of the Chinese army.

The ability is definitely there.

Zhang Wei naturally had no intention of being too hostile to him.

It's not that he has forgotten the previous exchange of words between the two, or even the many times Han Anguo targeted him.

However, officialdom matters are not that simple.

To use a more appropriate phrase from later generations.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

After the previous court meeting, Han Anguo made a special trip to visit the Zhang family.

Apologize to the Zhang family in full public view.

Moreover, some compensation was given to the Zhang family in private.

This compensation, at least from Zhang Wei's personal perspective, is the icing on the cake for the Zhang family.

Better than nothing.

The key to changing his attitude is still.

After all, Han Anguo is still the imperial censor of the Han Dynasty.

Even if Liu Che is dissatisfied with him, he will definitely be in charge of power in a short time.

More importantly, Zhang Wei's plan still requires everyone to work together to implement it. Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

There should at least be peace internally.

As Han Anguo said, the Zhang family does not have much experience in wars after all.

This is where they are most lacking.

Therefore, Zhang Wei just pushed the boat along with the current and turned the conflict into jade brocade.

At this time, above the court.

Han Anguo also completely fell to the main militant faction.

Take the initiative to speak out for the main war faction.

"Your Majesty, I have urgently mobilized 30 men and nearly one million grains and grasses. We gathered them all yesterday. The high platform required for the oath of oath has been built in the school grounds outside the city, and we are just waiting for your Majesty's visit."

Tone, attitude.

Extremely respectful.

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction.

"Han Aiqing, this matter was done well."

After saying that, he turned his head to Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Aiqing, what do you think of your plan?"

Above the court, Liu Che looked at Zhang Wangchuan in the queue.

Zhang Wei took a step to the left.

"Your Majesty, my thoughts are almost complete. This time we send troops, we can divide our troops into four groups. Your Majesty will lead the central army as the leader, and the two generals will each lead an army to separate the left and right armies. The other one will be selected as the rear army. Responsible for blocking the Xiongnu's retreat."

This statement came out.

The court suddenly fell silent.

then.

The generals' ranks were in high spirits, and everyone wanted to fight.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead a partial army..."

Zhang Wei suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, this army is not the rear army, far from being the rearguard. Once the Huns step into the pocket, the army must fight to the death without retreating. Even if the whole army is annihilated, it cannot retreat even half a step. Only from this can we guarantee that the general will be defeated. Catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Moreover, the number of the rear army is destined not to be too large. It must be a small and highly mobile elite army. If the Xiongnu sees through the plot and breaks out of the encirclement, the rear army will definitely bear the brunt. The leader must have the courage to face death, and... …”

Zhang Wei's words did not tell the whole story.

The meaning is rather self-evident.

This rear army is not from the rear.

It sounds more like going to die.

Or use human lives to pile up and delay time.

As Zhang Wei's words fell.

Visible to the naked eye.

Many generals shrank back after taking the lead.

As generals of the Han Dynasty, many of them were at the forefront of the country.

but.

It involves a matter of life and death, and it ends with knowing that you will die.

It is natural for some people to be timid.

Furthermore, the Han Dynasty has been at peace for many years. In Zhang Wei's eyes, many generals, especially those with high positions and salaries in the court, have already lost the courage to lead the way and kill the enemy bravely.

If they want to fight a smooth battle, they will naturally scramble to be the first, but if they know that they will die.

Who can easily let go of high-ranking officials and generous salaries?

Above the imperial court.

Liu Che's expression was not good.

No matter which monarch looks at his subordinates submissively without even giving a single glance.

Although Zhang Wei's words indicate that the situation is serious and even almost fatal.

but.

This is not a reason for you to retreat.

"Wait..."

Liu Che just wanted to speak.

Indeed, Zhang Wangcheng took the initiative to kneel down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army!"

Briefly dazed.

A hint of rejection appeared on Liu Che's face.

"Wangcheng, your Zhang family has paid a lot for my big man..."

"Your Majesty, since this plan was proposed by my Zhang family, and since the big man and my Zhang family, and Your Majesty and my Zhang family have known each other, I, the Zhang family, dare to be the first in the world! Even if it is a certain death situation, I, Zhang Wangcheng, are still willing to die calmly !”

The sonorous words echoed in the court.

Silence, still silence.

Somehow, the originally noisy court was exceptionally quiet today.

It was as if the noise of many generals just now appeared in another time and space.

Liu Che looked angry and happy.

More than anything, it's a worry.

This generation, the three sons of the Zhang family.

Zhang Wangchuan served as the minister of the Han Dynasty, handled things in an orderly manner, and was Liu Che's right-hand man.

Zhang Wangjing served as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and solved many complicated things for Liu Che.

As for Zhang Wangcheng, Liu Che also heard from him.

He started as a pawn on the border and did not receive any support from the Zhang family.

It was as if the Zhang family had drawn a clear line between them.

Liu Che knew that this was the attitude expressed by the Zhang family.

It showed that they did not want to interfere with the Han army.

The main reason is that Zhang Wangcheng has loved marching and fighting since he was a child, and the martial arts of the Zhang family is still passed down.

After all, the ancestors of the Zhang family also emerged from the flames of war.

Zhang Wangcheng ignored the dissuasion of his family and chose to join the army to serve the Han.

Now, Zhang Wangcheng once again stood up and expressed his willingness to serve as the rear guard.

He even uttered a quatrain that the Zhang family dared to be the first in the world.

Liu Che, what reason did he have to refuse?

Although the big man is currently at peace.

However, there is still constant harassment at the border.

Especially small groups of Xiongnu often invaded the borders of the Han Dynasty, causing great disturbance to the border residents of the Han Dynasty.

It was in such a situation that Zhang Wangcheng stepped from a pawn to the miscellaneous general he is today.

There is no support from the Zhang family.

Instead, he made military exploits many times.

This shows Zhang Wangcheng's ability.

Logically speaking, he should be a treasure of the Zhang family.

He actually holds some military power in his hands.

However, in the face of this situation and the many civil servants, especially the powerful capitulationists, almost everyone opposed Liu Che.

It was Zhang Wei who took the initiative to say that his Zhang family had a plan that could greatly improve the winning rate.

Attracted everyone's attention.

Let him increase the price and take the initiative to bear most of the pressure.

Facing the battle between the Han and the Huns, all the ministers were obedient and did not dare to say a word.

It was Zhang Wangcheng of the Zhang family who took the initiative to express that his Zhang family dared to be the first for the world and Zhang Wangcheng was willing to take the throne.

Even the queen is almost facing death.

Liu Che felt a little emotional.

It should be more of a debt to the Zhang family.

In front of the screen, Zhang Wei controlled Zhang Wangchuan to take a step forward.

"Your Majesty, our Zhang family is determined to serve the country with all our might, and I would like to ask your Majesty for your enlightenment!"

Speaking of which.

Liu Che also knew that the Zhang family had made up its mind.

Zhang Wangcheng has made up his mind.

Since this strategy was proposed by his Zhang family.

Then let the Zhang family implement it on his behalf.

Furthermore.

Zhang Wei also has many details, and those who are not members of his Zhang family will certainly not be able to fully comply with them.

"Besides that, Your Majesty, I have already completed preliminary improvements to the details of the plan. Right now, everything is ready, all I need is the east wind."

Zhang Wei did not lay out the plan in detail.

The main reason is that the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.

No amount of detailed planning can beat change.

Furthermore, everyone in the court has treacherous thoughts and many eyes, and if they are not protected, some will commit traitorous acts.

Zhang Wei also had to guard against them.

The general direction plan can be revealed, but more details must not be leaked at all.

Liu Che was also extremely relieved of Zhang Wei.

The matter is resolved.

The plan is initially decided.

For now, all we have to do is wait.

"As for the others, I have already made arrangements. This battle is related to the fate of our Han Dynasty and the rise and fall of our Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Please do your best!"

In the court, Liu Che spoke solemnly.

Every word and deed is an unstoppable display of majesty.
