Chapter 36 The situation in the grassland

When the snow began to fall, the fur of their livestock had not yet grown back, and the weather turned cold, causing a large number of Hu people's livestock to freeze to death and starve to death.

The Hu people quickly peeled off the skins of the dead animals and put them on the animals that had not yet died of the cold, so as to preserve the seeds of the winter queen and prevent them from starving to death.

As a last resort, the Hu people slaughtered a large number of livestock as food after the winter, but this food was not enough to survive the winter. Therefore, each tribe of the Hu people had to go south to grab food this spring. By then, whether they were grabbing food to survive or fighting, Only by killing a large number of people and reducing food consumption can the remaining people of the tribe survive.

For the survival of the race and at the same time to collect military rations, various Hu tribes would gather the old, weak, sick and disabled, feed them a hearty meal, and then kill them all.This is how nomadic people survive.

Not only the Xianbei, the Xiongnu, Ding Ling, Sanhan, and Wuwan were killing the old and the weak no matter how strong or weak they were, but the next trip south to grab food, regardless of success or failure, the tribes would all survive.

Especially after the Northern Xiongnu defeated the Qin Dynasty under the leadership of the Northern Xiongnu, the grassland tribes' ambition to go south is estimated to be unable to be stopped by the Chanyus, and they may not be able to stop it.

Perhaps individual tribes did not dare to provoke the border guards. According to the intelligence obtained by Liu Hua, Xianbei and Ding Ling had been contacting each other for an alliance after their victory, and planned to form an alliance to go south. However, the weak three Han and Karasuma did not participate. It seems that he is planning to be a wallflower.

The Northern Xiongnu seemed to have consumed too much of their population after enduring the severe beatings of the Qin Dynasty. Although they had won the victory, they were still suffering from fatigue and had not recovered yet.

Youzhou should have to face Xianbei and Dingling head-on. Bingzhou still has 20 Great Wall border troops, and Liangzhou is still guarded by troops from the Marquis of Beiliang. It seems that Youzhou is the weakest.

Jushou said: "It seems that we may be in trouble. The Xianbei and Ding Ling alliance alone can probably gather 30 troops, but many of their elites died in the war. We must prepare for a tough battle."

Tian Feng continued: "Not only that, if my guess is correct, there should be Xianbei's detailed operations in Youzhou. We must be prepared to fight against the wind. Although it is impossible for the Northern Huns to send large troops, they may support them. Some of the elite.”

Liu Ye said: "We need to completely connect the entire Youzhou into one. The Lord has obtained the support of Cao Shen and Caozhou Mu. As expected, we will take the lead in this battle."

Kou Xun said: "Food and soldiers are ready. The income from farming will be enough for the first half of the year. With the arrival of the workers, the quality and output of our weapons have improved a lot, but the problem is that we lack large equipment."

Liu Ye understood in an instant: "Senior brother! If there are ballistas and catapults, we will engage in a battle of annihilation."

Ma Jun is not a fool: "Okay, okay, I understand, I will help you make large equipment."

Although the Gong family has declined somewhat in recent years, they still have the foundation they should have, especially in professional weapons manufacturing. In this world, I am afraid that only the Xiangli clan of Qin State can surpass them.

Ma Jun naturally understands what his junior brother means, and hopes that the Gong family can bet on Liu Hua, but he is not angry. After all, Liu Hua has shown endless potential, and this time he has to fight against the Hu people. National justice comes first, and the Hu people should die. .

Ma Jun himself also has many ideas, because he did not have enough funds, materials and manpower before, but now he has them. He can restore the things in the records and make his own inventions and creations. Why not?

"How is the training of Wei Qing's [-] troops? We need to show off. If we can't show enough strength to convince the Youzhou generals, this battle will be much more difficult." Liu Hua looked at Wei Qing and said. "General, the training you requested in the past few days in the mountains has been completed. The Red Army's dawn has been nearly half completed. The rest can only be completed on the battlefield. All members have changed their uniforms and are ready for battle at any time." Wei Qing station He stood up and responded.

"I am preparing to hold a military parade. We need to show off our fists and show our strength." Liu Hua said to the generals present. "In a few days, I will invite all armies to the military parade. I have invited not only all of our powerful Youzhou armies." Once again, gathering in the north of Zhuo County is an opportunity for us to get to know each other."

"Our main force will advance in a large square formation. The elite can enter in their own way. You can try some shocking entrance methods. We need to inspire the morale of the military." Liu Hua said to the generals.

"No!" The generals clasped their fists and obeyed the order.

……

Under Liu Hua's rule, everyone began to get busy with the upcoming military parade, dealing with the aftermath of Liu Hua's sudden thoughts.

The entire Youzhou generals had to participate, so that Liu Hua was caught off guard. The civil servants had no choice but to accept the sudden new job. Although this was their lord, they needed to arrange the timing of the troops' appearance. After all, Liu Hua also Unexpectedly, the military parade he proposed would cause almost all the elites in Youzhou to participate. If it was not done well, it would lose the face of everyone on Liu Hua's side.

Although a casual attack of [-] well-equipped red-coated troops would be enough to shock people, but if they want to subdue the top imperial guards such as Yan Jiashi and Hubaoqi, even Commander Wei Qing may not be able to meet Liu Hua's requirements. , so Liu Hua plans to go into battle in person and perform a wave of individual talents for all members.

Either we don't do this kind of big thing, or we do it in one step, or we have to shock people's hearts.

Almost all the military generals under Liu Hua have signed up. Liu Hua himself will lead the red army headquarters in the army. Liu Hua is ready to use destiny to guide the big ones. Liu Hua has too much advantage. The yin and yang of the soldiers are against the parade The blessing is too great, and Liu Huazai is no longer good at pretending to be magical and performing tricks.

However, afterwards, all the powerful generals under Liu Hua's command came to ask how they should show off their strength. It was naturally not difficult for Liu Hua. After a conversation, the master and his ministers were very happy.

After the red-coated troops were assembled, Liu Hua came to the military camp and calmly greeted each of the commanders, centurions, and captains.

Today, Liu Hua plans to see how each legion is training before the army sets off, and provide guidance for the subsequent military parade. Of course, with the abilities of his generals, this matter should not be difficult for them.

Here we have to talk about the situation of each legion. After the legion was expanded to [-], Liu Hua increased the establishment of each legion to [-]. However, it was still difficult for Liu Hua to replenish the Imperial Guards. Liu Hua only replenished To three thousand.

In addition, there is a military medical camp with hundreds of people, a military music camp with hundreds of people, a Huotou Army with nearly a thousand people, and a military disciplinary officer camp.

The military music camp was Liu Hua's small attempt to be responsible for special effects. Liu Hua also specially asked Wei Zifu, who had already opened up his spiritual talent in singing and music, to teach him. If this military music camp is used well, it can change the situation of the war.
