Chapter 235: Far and Near Offensive

"Support an obedient person, Murong will be more honest." Sima Ji looked at Yang Xin with a blow.

"So your husband is targeting those people in the forest?" Yang Xin understood what Sima Ji meant as soon as she heard it, and whispered, "Will they let them restrain Murong?"

"The more we have a learning attitude towards us, the harder it is to deal with it. This is the case with the original Goguryeo people, and the Linyi people during the Southern Expedition. This has nothing to do with combat effectiveness." Sima Ji moved his neck and said deeply, "Those who can fight may not necessarily survive, but those who can live may fight sooner or later. The more behind the scenes, the easier it is to deal with these different Hu people in front of us. It is definitely easier to absorb the Wuji tribe than to absorb the Xianbei tribe."

If you really give these tribes time, it will be difficult to deal with sooner or later. For example, China and the northern forces have been fighting for too long, which has led to small southern countries keeping their low profile. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains dynasties went south untenable, because for hundreds or thousands of years, people have learned everything they should learn.

Sima Ji never thought that the Huns were very strong. There was only one thing that was good at the Huns, that was, it was a unified tribal entity. As for the others? The so-called hundreds of thousands of string-controlling men were no different from ordinary herders. They had no productivity and only knew how to rob. Because of the power accumulated by the robbery, the Han Dynasty would sooner or later drag the Huns to death.

However, the Xianbei people are a little different. Most of the tribes of the six tribes of the Xianbei tribes still do not produce them. However, like the Murong family, they have begun to study quietly, and these forces in the north will sooner or later enter the learning stage. Therefore, the so-called hundreds of thousands of string control men before the Sui and Tang dynasties were hundreds of thousands of herders. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were not herders, but real army.

It is expected that the northern tribes will always be like the bones of the Huns, and leather armor will definitely not work as armor. Fortunately, the Xianbei is now divided, and it is not impossible to divide and govern it in the future. The Jin Dynasty was a rare dynasty, and Chinese history is very interesting. Along the line of the Great Wall, if you split, I will split, and if you unify, I will unify.

During the Warring States Period, the seven kingdoms fought in the melee, and the Huns also fought in the north. When the Han Dynasty was established, the Huns became almost entity. The Sui and Tang Dynasties dealt with the Turks and later Uighurs, and the Song Dynasty faced the Liao and Jin Dynasties. The Jin Dynasty caught up with a good time, and it barely showed great unification with sequelae, and the six tribes of Xianbei in the north were still split.

Sima Ji was a little afraid that when he was involved in the Eight Kings Rebellion, these Xianbei tribes began to merge. The facts and history also developed in this way. The Central Plains were in war and the Xianbei were also killing each other. About decades later, the Murong clan settled the Eastern Xianbei and began to gather troops to go south. At that time, northern China was no longer in the hands of the Jin Dynasty.

Now for the Wuji tribe, they are at least two levels lower than the Jin Dynasty. The Xianbei is one level above the level of civilization than the Jin Dynasty. The Wuji tribe is definitely easy to absorb. The Xianbei people may have a little national consciousness in their hearts. The Wuji people dare not say that there is no one, but because the civilization is too low, they may not realize it for a while, and when they realize it, they may forget their language.

"Even if there are tens of thousands of tribes, there are only hundreds of thousands of people, and they don't have them at all." Sima Ji smiled slightly. The hundreds of thousands of people who control strings recorded in the history books recorded the forces of the Mongolian Plateau. In the northeast, when the Liao and Jin decisive battle, Wanyan Aguda sent out only 20,000 people.

"Xin'er immediately asked someone to send a letter to Zhang Da and Li Shan, why don't I go there?" Yang Xin said as she was about to get up.

"Sit down! What to do in the middle of winter?" Sima Ji glared, "Don't go to the north in winter. You are from Hongnong. You don't know the local situation in winter at all. Don't find something for yourself."

Yang Xin sat down immediately after hearing this, and her heart was still very sweet. Sima Ji saw that there was no need to popularize the difference between zero degree wet and coldness and zero degree dryness at minus 30 degrees Celsius. The difference is very simple, the latter will die. The advantage is that the cold is to temper the will. He believes that once he takes Wuji for himself, he will be a sharp knife.

In the eyes of others, Sima Ji and Yang Xin were just talking about love, and they didn't dare to get too far or too close. They got up and came out of the pavilion together. Sima Ji asked the guards, "Do you think it can be promoted?"

"Your Highness, this heavy bow needs to be contacted for a long time. As long as you contact it diligently, it can be promoted." The guard lowered his head and clasped his fists, and said his thoughts in detail.

In fact, this is a very difficult and tactful statement. Sima Ji could understand that the Central Plains people's demand for archers is to fight in military formations, which requires archers to shoot far away, and at the same time, they must shoot fast, and carry out large-scale coverage. This is the effect needed after the army of the Central Plains dynasty gathers. The closer the Qing bow, the better. Once the fate is, it is either dead or broken, and it is actually more suitable for cavalry.

If infantry use this kind of bow and arrow, it is actually a great disadvantage to face the covered arrow rain. Therefore, the armor of infantry using this kind of bow and arrow must be strong and quickly over the covered arrow rain. Therefore, it is best to ride a horse. It is definitely reasonable to define the best weapon for heavy infantry riding a horse.

Moreover, the vibration is very loud when shooting archery with Qinggong, and it is very easy to make it inaccurate. Only those who practice for years can adapt.

It is also because of the characteristics of Qing bow that it is more difficult to practice than all kinds of bows and arrows in Chinese history, but if you really practice it well, it will definitely be a killing weapon. In the Battle of Saerhu, Dusk was shot through the helmet by a heavy arrow of Jurchen. Even if the quality of the helmet in the Ming Dynasty was poor, I believe it would not be reflected in a general.

If we talk about the various mountains, rivers and lakes of the Jin Dynasty, there must be many hunters who can use this heavy bow and arrow, but Sima Ji cannot come to search for it one by one, so it would be better to reorganize the Wuji people directly.

"It doesn't matter, the military combat bow has the benefits of military combat bow. It's better not to practice this heavy bow." A strange smile flashed across Sima Ji's face, making Yang Xin next to him unable to touch her head.

Actually, it was nothing. He just thought that the Koreans in later generations tried hard to prove that they and the Jurchens were relatives. The King of Yan believed this statement for the time being, and now he was going to bring your relatives to the door to visit.

"By the way, I will create a group of heavy bows for me and find experienced craftsmen. I will dig out the ability of this heavy bow to the greatest extent." Sima Ji felt that heavy bows in the Jin Dynasty must have potential to dig. If the heavy bows in the Jin Dynasty were manufactured, they would keep them to arm the Wuji people. In the future, if the Murong family couldn't tell the difference between the big and small kings from him, he would use this heavy bow to shoot Murong's heavy rider into a hedgehog.

The war preparations against the Three Koreans have begun from now on. Sima Ji is well aware of the principle of taking the first move before the troops are moved. Fortunately, the shipping is now initially proficient, and the Bohai Sea is the best place.

The preparation of food and grass is necessary but not only. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Youzhou purchasing department was handy again at this time, sending a caravan to Pingzhou along the Liaoxi Corridor, crossing the Yalu River and entering the territory of Sanhan. Sima Ji did not expect to understand the reality of Sanhan at one time, but he also had to figure it out.

Another thing is to ask the two guards to recruit Wuji people and send people to enter the territory of the Wuji tribe under the escort of Fuyu Kingdom to select strong men to form mercenaries. Sima Ji said in the letter that he must share the same amount of rain and dew to avoid recruiting a large number of people from a single tribe. As for the treatment? When he thought of the mountain of cloth piled up in the Yan Palace, he did not think that this was a problem at all.

After writing letters in different identities one after another, Sima Ji waited quietly in the Yan Prince's Mansion for news, but Yang Xin seemed to have discovered something and asked with confusion, "It seems that the last time my husband conquered Goguryeo, it was similar to the ones in Wuji. I heard that Wuji also wore dog-skin hats."

"Because this can only be worn there!" Sima Ji said helplessly. This was the standard outfit of bandits in Northeast China before the liberation. If he went in court clothes, it would be fine in summer. In winter, Siberian cold currents went south, which would allow you to understand what free soaring means, and you can fly kites on your waist with a rope tied to your waist.

On this day, He Long, the Dongyi School Guard's Mansion, entered Jicheng with an inexplicable expression. He did not come to hug his thighs. Although he also brought a roll of cloth as a gift, there were horse hoof prints from large and small brushes on it. I don't know what Sima Ji's purpose was. When he entered the palace, he saw the King of Yan, and looked around the horse from outside the combat radius of the horse's hoof.

"Come on, see if there is any difference?" Someone reported when He Long entered Jicheng. Sima Ji pointed at the horse's hooves without any surprise and said.

"Nothing different, ah?" He Long looked carefully at the horse's hooves and put a circle of iron on it, and asked in confusion, "This..."

"What? This is horseshoe. After all, raising horses in Dajin is not as easy as prairie. Half of the horses die on the road every time they go to the expedition, which is too wasteful." Sima Ji himself did not want to take out something that was so easy to imitate horseshoe, but now he has to take it out. Just like the mountainous terrain of the Korean Peninsula, the damage to horses is greater than that in the deep desert, and the desert is still flat.

Without the protection of horseshoes, how far can a horse run? On average, if you don’t change horses, you can run from Jicheng to Fanyang Kingdom. No matter how far away the horses are, the horseshoes may be damaged. This is still the distance on the plain. If the Pingzhou army all launched an attack on Sanhan, when he came back, the Pingzhou army had no cavalry and all had to walk back.

"I admire the general that he actually thought of this." He Long said with a sudden realization after hearing this, "Every time he goes to war, I feel sorry for the horses. Now that I have this thing, it is a good thing."

Without Sima Jiduo, He Long can understand the benefits of horseshoes, just as simple as understanding why people wear shoes.
