Great Han Empire

Chapter 91 Yanzhao Fengyun
Li Hong suddenly thought of Zhao Wen.

If the troops hadn't attacked Murong Ji in Luting, Zhao Wen would not have died.Whether the attack was fought or not, actually did not affect the development of the battle in Yuyang.It's the same now. My troops helped the Wuye tribe break away from the Xianbei country. They had already fought one more battle. Fortunately, they didn't suffer too much loss.If you join the Guangning battlefield, you will inevitably have to fight a decisive battle with Tito's troops. Either a siege battle or a cavalry confrontation on the plain.With such a small amount of people that I managed to put together with great difficulty, I couldn't just wipe them all out in such a meaningless manner.More than half of the soldiers brought out from Luronsai have died.

"What's wrong with you? If you don't fight, it's still hard to fight?" Zheng Xin asked.

"I think of Zhao Wen." Li Hong pushed the map in his hand and said in a low voice, "He may not die. It's all because of me, and he insisted on running all night, and he was killed in Sangluting. This time, if I If we make our own decisions and send troops to Fengping to encircle them, the losses will be even greater."

Li Hong sighed, and then said: "Tituo knew that after Kuitou was defeated by us unexpectedly, he could no longer gain an overwhelming advantage over the Han army on the Guangning battlefield. In this dilemma, he couldn't hold on. How long will it take before the troops will withdraw. Whether we participate in the Guangning battlefield or not will not affect the overall situation. Moreover, there should be no wars in Youzhou in the next few years. There is no need for us to let the soldiers lose their precious s life."

Zheng Xin didn't seem to know Li Hong, he watched him for a long time.

"My son, you are a famous leopard in northern Xinjiang. You fought all the way here with a sword in your hand. Why did you suddenly lose your courage and become timid? What happened to you?"

Li Hong lowered his head and kept silent, thinking of Zhao Wen in his mind, he couldn't help feeling a little fear in his heart.

"Subject..." Zheng Xinxin pushed him vigorously, and persuaded loudly, "Why don't you think about Xiaodao, Datou, Lord Tian Jing, Lord Wang Jin, how did they die? It is an honor to die for the country When they died, when Zhao Wen died, did they complain, did they regret being a soldier?"

Li Hong suddenly thought of Iron Wolf, Gongsun Hu, and Ji Ming, and his heart became more and more sad.He no longer had the heart to listen to what Zheng Xin had to say, and walked out of the big tent alone.

She Moci was worried that the Xianbei people would make a comeback, so he came early in the morning to bid farewell to Li Hong, and was going to lead the tribe to continue southward and live temporarily in Yefengwei.Li Hong was worried that they would be criticized by the Han people on the way and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he specially sent a village chief to accompany them to the south with his troops.The captured more than 500 people and thousands of war horses became the spoils of the Wuye tribe, and they followed them under the guard of the Wuye tribe cavalry warriors.

The large troops stayed in Yangjiao Mountain and continued to monitor the movements of the Xianbei people to prevent them from continuing to chase after they regrouped.

Li Hong silently watched the migrating army of the Wuye tribe slowly disappear from sight, feeling very happy in his heart.Since then, tens of thousands of people can live and work in peace and contentment in the Han Kingdom, which makes people feel very happy just thinking about it.He turned and mounted his horse, ready to go back to the camp, but saw that none of his men moved.

"I heard that the lord is going to take us to play Titus, when will we act?" Yushi asked seriously.

"Soldiers are precious and fast, this matter cannot be delayed." Wu Zhao immediately continued.

Li Hong was stunned for a moment, knowing that Zheng Xin would not give up, he united with all the military officers to come to ask for a fight.

He glared fiercely at Zheng Xin, and said with a smile: "The timing of this matter has been missed, and it is no longer appropriate to send troops."

"Why?" Li Song said: "The leader we attacked yesterday, will Titu receive the news today? Dishuiwei is nearly three hundred miles away from Guangning, so the news should not have reached Guangning. We are completely Troops that can pretend to be the leader rushed to Quang Ninh."

Li Hongwang looked at everyone, smiled bitterly, and said again: "The opportunity has passed. We can't send troops without absolute certainty."

"My lord, do you still remember what you told us when you crossed the camp at the mountain pass?" Huzi shouted uncharacteristically, "You said that because we are Han people, we will never allow any enemy to trample on the power of our Han country." Every inch of land. Have you forgotten? The brothers we brought out from Dayan Mountain, the brothers we brought out from Yuyang, how many are left now? Don’t they take their revenge?”

"Even if we all die in battle, we will die for the Han Kingdom, and we will die without regret." Wu Zhao said slowly.

Li Hong was very moved. He got off his horse and shouted, "Come on. Tell me, how do you fight?"

Seeing that Li Hong agreed to their challenge, everyone cheered and got off their horses and gathered beside Li Hong.

"We summed up last night and think that there is still a great possibility of annihilating Tituo in this battle." On behalf of everyone, Yushi told Li Hong their plan, "Tituo's intention is very obvious. People carried out front and rear attacks on the Han army in Fengpingwei."

"We found a smart, bold and careful scout from Mr. Zheng's scout village, and the leader's messenger came out, and told Titus in Guangning that the leader had agreed and made an appointment with him. On the day of the attack, his troops When Fengpingwei and Master Jichou's troops faced the enemy head-on, our troops pretended to be Xianbei people and rushed out from their flanks, and then suddenly attacked the Karasuma people when the enemy was completely unprepared. This move is unexpected and will definitely be well received miraculous."

"At the same time, we hurriedly informed Master Huwuwan Captain Jichou, telling him that Tuobafeng had withdrawn, and we captured Titus' messenger on the way back to Zhuolu, and learned of Titus and the leader's plan. Now Kuitou’s troops have been defeated by the Wuye tribe and us in Yangjiao Mountain. Of course, this is to prevent him from knowing about our cross-border operations. His official university can order us to be arrested at any time because of this matter. Then we sent Tell him the plan. In order to defeat Tituo and regain Guangning, I think he will definitely agree to this plan. Once successful, he can not only wash away the shame of being defeated by the enemy and drive him to Juyong, but also be rewarded for his meritorious service. "

"Finished?" Li Hong asked.

Yushi nodded, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, in every battle, you always win with a surprise soldier. Using soldiers is like an antelope's horns, and there is no trace. We all admire it very much and feel that we can't match it. Therefore, please explain the shortcomings of this plan. The adults advise."

Li Hong laughed, pointed at Yushi and said, "You will also flatter me. I am not as good as you say, but I am more thoughtful than you. There are several uncertain factors in your plan. These few If the problem is not resolved, the plan will be flawed, that is, it will not be implemented."

"First of all, how can we be sure that there is no close connection between the leader and Titus? If Titus knows that the leader was defeated in Dishuiwei, our fake plan will be seen through by the enemy. If they follow suit, we will be defeated. "

"Secondly, we don't know any of us, Mr. Jichou, Captain Hukaramaru. Why should he believe the news we sent over? Even if he believed in our identity, why should he believe in our plan? This has something to do with him How can he not consider the question of the survival of the Thousand Army, and think twice? If it is the enemy's treachery, his troops are in danger of being wiped out?"

"We are the frontier army in Lulongsai, Youbeiping County. Here I have the highest official rank, that is, a military commander with a rank of one thousand shi. Compared with a Lieutenant Hu Karasuma with a rank of two thousand shi, I am pitifully small. Around him There are quite a few officers with my rank and salary. According to the military law of the Han Dynasty, a military commander has no right to lead troops alone, let alone command more than one army. Now I can lead troops to fight purely because the war is critical. An expedient measure temporarily ordered by Governor Liu, is illegal. Under such circumstances, I, a small army Sima, suggested how to fight for a school captain. Wouldn’t it be a shame for the subordinates to commit crimes against the superiors? He didn’t Sending someone to arrest me would be a great honor to Mr. Liu."

"The last problem is the issue of troop strength. The captain's troops are mainly infantry. According to our information, he took away 3000 infantry and 8000 cavalry from Juyong and Juyang. With this combination of troops, in the plains There is no chance of winning the battle against Tito's [-] cavalry. If there is a mistake in coordination and we fail to arrive in time, his troops may be hit hard by the Karasuma people. Even if we arrive on time, with more than [-] cavalry A sneak attack on an army of [-] people will lead to a bitter battle in the end. On the plain battlefield, even a sneak attack on the enemy will turn into a bloody battle. This time I was able to defeat the leader not only because of luck, but more importantly because of the Wuye tribe The timely attack caused the internal and external pinching of the enemy. This kind of good thing happens only once in a lifetime, and there will never be a second time. Our troops are exhausted, everyone feels very happy, right?"

A group of subordinates were silent, everyone was thinking about Li Hong's words.

"I personally think that annihilating the most enemies at the least cost is the best strategy. If we defeat the enemy, we will also lose half of ourselves. How will we fight the next battle? Should we not fight?"

"I have also considered this plan, but there are too many loopholes to implement it."

"My lord, what's your plan?" Yan Wuwei asked.

"I haven't. I haven't found the enemy's weakness yet, so I have no way to attack. Everyone must fight and wait patiently for a while to find the right time."

"Shouyan, your scout station will go deep into the Guangning area immediately for reconnaissance. Yushi, you go to Fengpingwei, get in touch with the captain, and get his confirmation and trust. Leizi, you go to Macheng, call the old man and the young man as soon as possible. Lazy and the others set off to join us at Yefengwei."

"In three days, we will go to Yefengwei."

Titus soon got the news that the leader had been wiped out in Dishuiwei.

His subordinates immediately ran to his big tent like a frying pan, demanding to withdraw back to Baishan.Now the situation is very clear, the Xianbei people have been defeated across the board, and the leopard troops of the Han army even went deep into the border of Xianbei and began to counterattack.The people of Karasuma stayed alone on the border of Dahan, guarding Guangning. How long can the two small towns in Ning County hold on?It is wise to withdraw early while the Han army is still breathing and Leopard's troops are still resting at Yefeng Siege.

Tito rolled a pair of sinister little eyes, and watched his subordinates yelling in front of him with leisure, with a look of disapproval.

"What are you afraid of? You are only afraid of being besieged by Ji Chou and Leopard. How many people are there in Leopard's army now?"

Trent, who was sitting at the bottom, quickly replied: "It is said that his troops suffered heavy losses in Macheng. It is estimated that there are more than 1000 people left. This is all he has."

His words were immediately reviled.

Trent Knot raised his hands high, motioning everyone to listen to him.

"Lu Pofeng's troops are estimated to be around 1000. It stands to reason that more than 2000 troops are not enough to attack the leader's [-] troops. But since he can win, there must be some tricks in it?"

"I think the Wuye tribe can organize an army of nearly 5000 people with all they have in the life-and-death situation. They take advantage of the leader's underestimation of the enemy, and cooperate with the Han people to defeat the leader. Within reason."

"It's not an easy task to defeat 6000 people. It is estimated that the troops of Leopard and Shemoci have lost a lot. With Leopard's current strength, it is impossible for him to rush to the Guangning battlefield unless he gets reinforcements immediately. Therefore, in the short term Inside, it is impossible for us to be attacked by Ji Chou and leopards at the same time. You don't need to worry too much."

Titus sneered and said, "Did everyone understand Trent's words? My goal has not been achieved yet, so please be patient and wait a little longer. Backing to Baishan will benefit everyone."

The envoys of Shemoci rushed to Juyang and Jicheng, and called on the prefect of Shanggu County and the governor of Youzhou respectively.They got the Han court document of temporary residence in Shanggu County.As for the official documents from Luoyang Jingdu, it will take a long time to wait.

Now the whole of Youzhou already knew that there was a rebellion in Xianbei and it was resolved satisfactorily.The two adults, Liu Yu and Liu Fan, saw that the four tribes of the Xianbei Kingdom were standing together, and the power of the Xianbei King was greatly weakened. They were overjoyed and their mouths crooked.

The Xianbei Kingdom fell into a situation of fragmentation.Now the four tribes of Xianbei are busy dividing power and rebuilding their own power, and they are fiercely competing with each other.Under such circumstances, not to mention that it has become a dream to jointly send troops to invade the big men, it is that they themselves have to be careful and guard against each other.But the instigator of all this is Murong Feng who is bent on rebuilding the powerful Xianbei Kingdom.The huge gap between ideal and reality made this ambitious Xianbei strongman feel that he was powerless, and it was difficult to turn the tide.

Soon, news about Murong Feng's secret collusion with the Han people, plotting to overthrow Helian, and split Xianbei slowly spread in northern Xinjiang.The sudden betrayal of the Wuye tribe and the settlement of the big man seem to have provided an unquestionable interpretation for this rumor.Victory documents from Youzhou and secret letters from officials from all over the country flew to Luoyang like snowflakes.

The focus of the conflict slowly focused on Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou.
