Chapter 452 Catching a Life(2/2)
As a veteran of the Black Silk Army when it was formed, Hou Feihu felt that his status among Shao Master's disciples had skyrocketed.
This is luck.
If a person has the ability, he also needs luck.
"The Huns in Hanoi have gathered a lot of troops. What do you think they want to do?" Shao Xun asked.
"The general feels that the Xiongnu will not attack the three cities of Heyang. Those soldiers are just here to monitor." Hou Feihu replied.
"What's the basis?"
"The leader of the army of the Wild King is Liu Ya, the Xiongnu Anxi general." Hou Feihu said: "This man uses troops in a very orderly manner. He does whatever the superiors ask him to do, and rarely goes beyond his duties. Since the Wild King stationed troops, he has only raided the outskirts of the North City. There was no forceful attack, so I will boldly speculate that the Huns have no intention of attacking the three cities of Heyang."
"Oh?" Shao Xun looked at Hou Feihu with interest and said with a smile: "Are you still thinking about the enemy general's temperament?"
Hou Feihu smiled and said: "Know yourself and know the enemy."
"After Wang Queer leaves, I will hand over the three cities of Heyang to you. Can you hold on to them?"
"Although the last general has limited talents, he will never let the Xiongnu go further south."
"When the army gathers together, how should we fight?"
"Master Shao may try to attack the Wild King."
"How to try?"
"First send troops to Zhiguan to attack the Xiongnu and rescue them. Attract the Xiongnu soldiers from Hanoi, then avoid the real situation and use the weak to attack the wild king."
Shao Xun patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's good that you are willing to use your brain. But this plan is too risky. Once it fails, it will easily endanger the three cities of Heyang. Furthermore, what can I do if I take down the wild king? Can I plant it? Can the land still be used for grazing? Don’t always focus on the famous cities of Dayi. Some unknown small cities are even more critical.”
Hou Feihu nodded in agreement.
"However, your plan is not without merit." Shao Xun said again.
Hou Feihu was puzzled.
"As far as mobilizing enemy troops is concerned, it has some merits." Shao Xun said: "Since Liu Ya behaves well, let him behave well until death."
"Master Shao wants to..." Hou Feihu asked.
"Let me ask you, how long does it take to build a shallow earth city?" Shao Xun asked.
"It takes a few months, right?"
"No, six thousand people, twenty days will be enough." Shao Xun laughed and left.
"City Yanzhou, City Yanzhou, the city is above Wuyuanyuan..." When there was no one around, Shao Xun hummed softly: "Shepherd cattle and sheep in the day and catch animals at night, and go to the new city a hundred miles away..."
"Come here!" Shao Xun stopped and shouted while walking.
Cai Cheng came over in a hurry: "Ming Gong."
"In the name of the Xuchang shogunate, an order is sent that the powerful sons of the gentry clans in the two prefectures of Henan, who are skilled in bow and horse, can go to Heyang. In addition, those who are good at riding and shooting from among the soldiers and their nephews should be selected and sent to Heyang." Shao Xun said: "I want to build a new army."
"What's the name of the army?" Cai Cheng asked.
"Catch life."
