It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 255: Go west, go west! !

"Banihan?"

Liu Ke exclaimed, Banihan just went to chase Donghu's defeated troops, why did he come back so quickly?
Banihan came to Liu Ke and bowed his hands deeply.

The mixed smell of dust and sweat emanated from his body, and his figure seemed to be swaying under the candle.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Banihan's voice was a little hoarse, and he was a little tired after killing all the way.

Liu Ke looked at him, already understanding what was going on, and was inevitably a little surprised.

Barnihan is only 20 years old now, but he can be so calm.

All generals, including Zhong Xuan, were hunting down the remaining Donghu people.

Only Banihan chose to return to the city in time after his meritorious service.

"Do you have any idea?"

The two of them had a tacit understanding and no entanglement. Why was the support so timely?

I met Zhao Ning on the way, Zhao Ning was leading the way!
Zhao Ning can get lost, but he will never find the emperor.

It seems incomprehensible, but if it is placed on Zhao Ning, who has always been elusive, it makes sense.

When Banihan came to see him, Liu Ke also dozed off and met the pillow, feeling worried.

[Name: Banihan (Bangshi)]

【Age: 20】

【Command: 92; Force: 88; Wisdom: 86; Administration: 49】

[Characteristics: heat resistance, cold resistance, moisture resistance, drought resistance, mountain climbing]

It has been four years since Banihan became an official. In these four years, he has been fighting continuously and has grown a lot.

The two values ​​​​of force and intelligence have basically reached the potential limit seen back then.

And the potential of governance has improved a lot compared to the original 47 points.

Only the command distance is still a little short of the limit of 98.

After all, Barnihan doesn't have many opportunities to lead the team on his own, and he is still young. With more practice, there is still a lot of room for growth.

All in all, whether it is strategic vision or strategy.

Banihan is not bad at all, it is a very versatile inverter air conditioner.

Moreover, after following Yue Shaoqian for a while, he was already the only person in Runan, other than Zhong Xuan, who could negotiate.

Barnihan raised his head, something different flashed in his eyes.

It’s not that he doesn’t covet merit, but he wants to covet greater merit.

His credit for killing defeated soldiers was limited, so how could he be allowed to carry forward the lacquered teeth pattern?

After four years of dormancy, he must prove his worth and ability, not only for himself, but also for the South Vietnamese people!

May all people in the world be proud of having their teeth chiseled!
"Your Majesty, we must take advantage of the fact that the Donghu people are not stable, and immediately launch a counterattack, go west, cooperate with Yue Shaobao, attack from the front and back, take down the counties in the north of Jing, and then establish the main road to resist the increase in troops from Puqian."

As he thought about it, Banihan grinned unconsciously, showing his teeth, and his voice was firm and powerful:
"The general is confident that the surprise attack will be successful!"

Liu Ke looked at him and said nothing.

Barnihan's idea has some merit.

Although the three tribes unite, plus the reinforcements Wang Lue may have invited from Murong's tribe, the number of Donghu troops may exceed 15.

However, the amount of food and fodder required for such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses is also an astronomical figure.

Even if the Puqian area occupies Huaisi grain and grass and is extremely rich, it will take some time to supply so much grain.

This time of dispatching troops and horses gave Liu Ke and the Guiyi Army an opportunity.

Once, as Banihan said, the Guiyi Army and Yue Shaoqian's soldiers and horses go east and west, attack the Puliuru army on the front line from both sides, and capture Wancheng and Xinye at the same time, they can use a defensive position to fight against the following army. .

No matter how many soldiers and horses Pu Qianbu mobilized, he would still have to attack the city by force. The capabilities of the Han generals were enough to defend the city.

From then on, whether he was trying to capture Xiangyang or managing the local area to cultivate his health, he would be able to advance and retreat freely.

In other words, this is a race against time.

If they can capture the counties in northern Jing except Xiangyang before Puqian mobilizes enough food to supply the army, then great things can be accomplished.

And if the front line becomes anxious and allows Pu Qianbu to mobilize 15 troops to rush straight to Jingbei, the war may not go smoothly.

But Liu Ke felt that this was indeed an opportunity.

He went deep into Runan and not only brought back the Guiyi army, but also eliminated the effective forces in Puqian, and made it possible to outflank and attack from both sides.

For facing three armies at the same time, being able to have this situation is already considered a great advantage.

And once the three tribes work together to take Jingbei by force, other Donghu tribes should be even more wary.

However, this kind of forceful competition to see who can advance faster, with life and death depending on the line, is definitely not the best idea.

Just like this time Liu Ke went deep into Runan, not only to rescue the Guiyi Army, but also with the idea of ​​encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, so as to relieve some of the pressure on the front line.

Unfortunately, Di Han and Hou Junyan did not take the opportunity to capture Wancheng and Xinye at once. Instead, they allowed Pu Qianbu's support to successfully enter Jingbei.

So much so that Yue Shaoqian was a little passive.

"Replace defense with offense?"

Liu Ke thought for a while, and suddenly a ghost came to his mind.

Is an army of 15 strong?
"Yes, what General Ba said is to immediately send an order to the generals to prepare food and prepare to march westward!"

Normally, he would have to think of a way to gather the Donghu troops together and destroy them in one wave.

Now that Kamebu himself is gathered together, doesn't it just give him a chance to show off?
At that time, not only can we take down Jingbei, but we can even threaten Yanzhou and Yuzhou!
"what?"

Seeing that the emperor was so fierce and actually agreed directly, Banihan, who proposed the suggestion, was stunned.

No, I just suggested that we find a few more people to discuss it?

How can there be any reason to immediately adopt suggestions as soon as they are suggested?
Barnihan's brows knitted together. If something happened, he couldn't bear full responsibility?

"This matter is of great importance, and tens of millions of soldiers may be injured at any time."

"Will your Majesty please summon General Zhong, General Zang, and Lord Lu Bo to discuss more?"

He automatically ignored Jing Daorong. The beard was quite cute, but it was obvious that he was not very bright.

Liu Ke made a quick decision and said:

"Since ancient times, one or two people have been enough to make decision-makers!"

"Calling the generals together is just a matter of deliberation, but in the end we still can't come up with a charter."

"It's up to me to decide this matter!"

Barneyhan: Huh?
Liu Ke didn't give him much time to react, and asked Banihan to go down to reorganize the army and collect food and fodder.

We have to compete with the Donghu people for speed, so what are we waiting for?
However, Liu Ke also took another precaution, summoning a messenger and exhorted:

"Hurry out of Runan and find Man Huaiying. If you find any clan members who do not cooperate with the ecological investigation, they will be placed under house arrest and taken to the front line."

"Yes!"

The orderly soldier was a little confused. Why did he take the clan to the front line?
Those wine bags and rice bags could not even survive after the Han army's victory in the Northern Expedition.

Either they bully men and dominate women and disturb the people, or they are useless people who live in a dream and die.

What's the use of going to the front line?

They all refused to cooperate with the ecological investigation.

Kill in front of the formation to boost morale?
It really allows the soldiers to see that the officials of the Han Dynasty govern the country clearly and reward and punish appropriately.

But did it change anything about the war?

The messenger was confused and didn't understand why the emperor was so anxious to arrest someone.

However, since the emperor had an order, he naturally did not delay, quickly accepted the order, found a fast horse and left.

Generally speaking, a force of [-] soldiers and horses needs to prepare themselves, prepare food and fodder, and then go on an expedition.

Unless you are Zhu Qizhen, sending troops is like playing a game. With twenty armies, it takes two days to send troops.

Otherwise, it won’t be possible within four or five days.If you include the time spent supervising the transportation of grain and fodder, sometimes it even takes more than half a month.

But this time, Liu Ke and the Guiyi Army took only two days from the time they made the decision to order the three armies to the moment they were fully equipped and ready to go out tomorrow.

It's not that Liu Ke suddenly became a fortress, or that he had outstanding internal affairs capabilities and dispatched troops like the wind.

But Lu Fengfu is really good at scheduling.

In other words, Lu Fengfu had already prepared the food and fodder, which greatly shortened the time.

Even when I started to speak the language, I started to inquire about the family conditions of those students while teaching them.

A descendant of a wealthy family like the Yuan family sat in front.

The next level, one row later.

Those with no background sit at the end.

Anyway, he directly understood the distribution of the powerful families in Runan.

When it's time to ask for food, it's easy.

Since your child sits so close to the front, it’s not too much to give him a little apprenticeship ceremony or something, right?
Especially after the defeat of Pu Qianguang, this group of aristocratic families were even more speechless.

Give whatever you need, very cooperative.

Moreover, Yuan Shen, the acting head of the Yuan family, also took the lead.

Needless to say, the Yuan family has been able to stand for hundreds of years, and there is indeed something in the family.

"Your Majesty, news from the front line!"

A messenger rushed to Liu Ke and handed over an urgent report.

Without the pursuit of Pu Qianguang's army, an ambush from all directions would be impossible. He only had to deal with Pu Qian's soldiers and horses blocking the main road, and he could still get some information.

"Di Han died in the battle again?"

Liu Ke was speechless.

When Yuan Fu came, he brought the news that Di Han had been shot to death.

When Jing Daorong came, he was hit by an arrow and died again.

Barnihan later mentioned a word or two.

Counting this time, in the battle in Jingbei alone, Di Han died four times when he started to take charge.

It's a bit outrageous.

However, if such news can come out from the front line, it means that the war is very anxious.

This gave the Donghu people the opportunity to spread false news.

"Commander Yao of Puqian led [-] troops, and cooperated with the defenders of Wancheng and Xinye to form an encirclement against the main Han army led by Di Han and Hou Junyan."

After hearing this, all the generals felt that it was not good.

Originally, they had been too hasty in mobilizing troops and horses. Unexpectedly, they had just mobilized troops and horses, and before they even left the city, the news came.

Barnihan felt a little regretful. If he could have discussed it for a few more days, he would be able to make a judgment when he learned the news.

Things are not going well now. If you want to encircle Puqian's army from both sides, you have to support the Han army on the front line.

Di Han's troops are in a state of anxiety. Yue Shaoqian will definitely pay more attention to the battle situation in Wancheng and Xinye areas, and will not take care of the [-] troops in Pu Qian for a while.

The troops are already relatively small. If we can't work together to deal with all the soldiers and horses, even if we cover them from both sides, it won't have much effect.

Barnihan, who was only 20 years old, was panicking.

His first advice to send troops went astray.

If Banihan's subconscious thoughts were followed, he should give up the westward advance at this time and continue to stir up trouble and harassment behind the front and rear of Pu, thereby alleviating the pressure on the front line.

But he can't do anything now.

Even though the military orders were issued, the emperor still forced the army to march urgently. Changing the orders day and night would inevitably affect the morale of the troops. It would not be possible to advance at once, nor to retreat.

The most terrible thing is that Banihan feels that if the two-sided encirclement fails, not only will the front line of Pu be eliminated, but it will also give the rear the opportunity to mobilize troops and horses, and he will definitely bear the blame.

If something unexpected happens, I might even be given up by the emperor to use it for stability.

For a moment, Barnihan was in a dilemma and didn't know how to choose.

"Now that it's been decided, don't change it."

Liu Ke, however, stepped forward and patted Banihan on the shoulder as if he were refreshed.

"There is no such thing as smooth sailing in a war. It is said that one can make great efforts, then fail again, and three times will be exhausted."

"If we arrive as soon as possible now, we may catch Chief Yao and Pu Qian's troops on the front line by surprise. If we delay for a day or two, our intentions may be revealed."

"Now is the right time. Since Di Han's troops have encountered the main force, Chief Yao will definitely pay more attention to the war in Jingbei and ignore our army."

"This is also an opportunity."

Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, and this is true.

Barnihan did have the appearance of a famous general. After a brief moment of panic, he quickly calmed down.

Now that you've decided what to do next, don't hesitate any longer.

And it was just that the war was in a state of anxiety, not that the army was defeated.

After all, they are attacking the city, so it is understandable that it will be more difficult and suffer more losses.

Zhong Xuan suddenly said:

"Yes, your Majesty said that General Ba must not be cowardly."

"A war is fought with courage. If you don't even have the heart to fight against the enemy, how can you defeat the Donghu people?"

What Zhong Xuan lacks most is courage, and this rapid westward advance, combined with Yue Shaoqian's strategy of flanking on both sides, is very suitable for a general like him who is good at surprise attacks.

With the surprise attack, we have already created a world in Runan County. Why not go to Jingbei to beat up Chief Yao and beat up the three coalition forces?
"That's right, just in case Chief Yao can't respect Daorong as much as I do!!"

Jing Daorong's ears were frozen because he had been lying in wait in the snow for three days, and he suffered from chilblains. He has not recovered yet, and there is always a vague pain.

But he never knew how to write the word "fear". He was confident.

Under this situation, Banihan's nervousness suddenly eased a lot.

Even the look he looked at Jing Daorong was extremely gentle.

Although this guy is not very smart, he is really inspiring.

As the art of war goes, don't worry about victory, but worry about defeat first.

But you can't always think about defeat. Since it's a war, you have to be brave!

Liu Ke nodded slightly, acknowledging everyone's statement.

He directly tore up the urgent report that the messenger had finally found out.

Then he made a bold decision to continue heading west.

Zhong Xuan and others also agree with it.

According to the original plan, we would cover both sides first, and if we felt that the timing was not right, we would withdraw later.

Come to think of it, Pu Qianbu couldn't find many soldiers and horses to retake Runan for a while.

Moreover, there is Yuan Shen, the acting head of the Yuan family, as an internal agent in Runan, so it is not so easy to lose.

If we go back again, we will only lose some food and grass.

It is always better to miss the opportunity to make a move.

"Go west!"

Liu Ke gave the order decisively without any hesitation.

He was indifferent.

Anyway, his goal was not Yao Chang's mere [-] troops.

Since the Jingbei front line is the strong point of the Donghu people, it is obvious that the follow-up army in Pu Qianbu is the weak point!
Just focus on the weak point and hit hard!
