On the day of the regular meeting, Lin Nangao sat behind the crescent moon table on the main platform, looking at the ministers of the state majestically, Dian Wei stood behind Lin Nan, and Wang Cang sat at one end of the crescent table.

After a period of expansion, the council hall of the Thorn Mansion was finally completed, and today is the first time it has been used.

The newly expanded conference hall can accommodate more than 100 people, and in the center of the north side of the hall, a main platform slightly higher than the flat ground is specially added to highlight Lin Nan's status.

At this time, Lin Nan was sitting behind the recessed side of the crescent table, and the convex side of the crescent table was facing the ministers of Bingzhou.

At this time, all the ministers of the state were all one person, one table and one chair, facing Lin Nan, with the military and political courts in the center, and the two courts of law and supervision on the left and right sides.

For such a pattern, the ministers of the state were also deeply surprised, but in addition to the novelty, they began to accept it silently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do after the autumn harvest?" Lin Nan said unhurriedly.

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Xun Yu got up and said: "After three years of governance, we should strengthen the construction of urban infrastructure and improve the lives of the people, and at the same time, we should also increase the management of various counties, and the most important thing is to strengthen the support and management of the new three counties. ”

"Hmm. Lin Nan nodded in response, expressing approval.

Then, the ministers of the Government Council talked a lot of useless, but Chen Gong and Tian Feng asked for the cultivation of reserve talents.

So, Lin Nan nodded in agreement, and ordered Wang Cang to write it down.

After a while, seeing that no one from the Military Affairs Yuan spoke, Lin Nan asked, "Why didn't the people from the Military Affairs Yuan respond?"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Cui Yan got up and said: "The transformation of the Hun captives is progressing very smoothly, and I would like to ask the lord to ask the lord, if we can achieve our set goal, can the transformation period be shortened?"

Lin Nandao: "It's completely possible, now the two Xiongnu have been annexed." It doesn't matter if those captives are reformed or not. It's just that they have to finish three years as criminals, and as long as the three-year period is over, they will be civilians of the Han Dynasty. ”

Cui Yan responded with a promise. He sat back.

Cui Yan sat down, and Jia Xu got up and said, "I think we should send troops to recruit Xianbei." ”

Hearing Jia Xu say this, everyone was very surprised, and they all looked up at Jia Xu.

Lin Nan straightened his body. smiled and said, "Why did Wen He say this?"

Jia Xu said: "Although the state is temporarily safe, but forgetting the war will be dangerous, before, we and the Xianbei people are separated by the Huns, so the Xianbei people have no threat to us, and now, we have direct contact with the Xianbei people, if we can't make them attached, then a few years later." Sooner or later, they will enter the Central Plains like the Huns, so while their strength is still very weak, and the various tribes are not subordinate to each other, we should first attack and conquer them, thinking that it is a plan for eternity. ”

Listening to Jia Xu's words, Lin Nan couldn't help but be shocked: What a good Jia Wenhe, he is indeed a top strategist in the Three Kingdoms period. With far-sightedness and deep insight, I am afraid that there is no one else in the Three Kingdoms.

Isn't the five nonsense chaos of later generations exactly what Jia Xu said today?

Come to think of it. Lin Nan sat upright and said to everyone solemnly, "What do you think?"

Seeing Lin Nan's demeanor so solemn, everyone knew that this matter was a serious matter, so they didn't dare to speak lightly.

After a moment, he stood up and sighed: "Wen He is far-sighted, and I admire him. Fu Zhu agreed with Jia Junshi's suggestion. ”

After the frustration was finished, Liu Ye, Yu Tuo, Tian Chou and others also agreed.

In the end, even Xun Yu and Chen Gongtian Feng and others also believed that the Xianbei people should be conquered first.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lin Nan said: "This is very good, Nan also has this intention, and it is what we should do to prevent it before it happens, but no matter what, we should still salute first and then the soldiers, and persuade to surrender first." ”

So, Lin Nan sent envoys and dispatched troops at the same time.

Since the two Xiongnu tribes were subordinate, the generals of the state were very bored, because they thought that in a few years there would probably be no more wars in the state, and now when they heard that they were going to fight the Xianbei people, the generals were all happy and ordered to move quickly.

However, there were two people among the generals who were very depressed, and these two people were none other than Gao Shun, the commander of the Second Division of Bingzhou, and Zhang Liao, the commander of the Third Division. Because in a few days, they saw tens of thousands of troops gathered in the two counties of Naqi and Karen, ready to march on the steppe, and they did not receive the order of Linnan to prepare for the expedition.

A few days later, the Xianbei people finally did not give in, and Lin Nan finally had an excuse to send troops to the Xianbei people.

After bidding farewell to the three daughters of the family and Cai Yong's father and daughter, Lin Nan led Jia Xu and others to Karen County under the escort of the guard camp.

Seeing that Lin Nan had arrived, Zhang Liao, commander of the Third Division of Bingzhou, and Liu Song, the commander of the Kelun Taishou, and others hurried out of the city to greet them.

Liu Song was originally a nobleman of the right Huns, named Sunset Song, after the right Huns were attached, he was elected by the various ministries as Karen Taishou, and the Emperor of the Menghan Ling Emperor "Heavenly Grace" changed his name to Liu Song.

After greeting each other, Lin Nan and his party entered the city.

Although Karen City is a newly built city, it is a county city after all, so after Lin Nan and his party entered the city, they did not feel stingy at all, and with the joint efforts of Zhang Liao and Liu Song, Karen City has also begun to take shape.

After walking around the city, holding a meeting with the officials of Karen County, guiding the work, and instructing Zhang Liao, Lin Nan returned to the military camp outside the city.

After discussing with Jia Xu and others, Lin Nan decided to adopt Huo Quai's tactics back then, that is: go straight to the royal court and attack it to save it.

However, such a tactic is extremely dangerous, because once you are surrounded by the enemy, I am afraid that it will not be easy to break out.

Although the generals persuaded Lin Nan not to risk his life, Lin Nan was not afraid at all, after all, even if he was surrounded by tens of thousands of people, if he really wanted to escape, it should not be difficult.

Therefore, Lin Nan ordered Xu Huang to answer the left wing, Liu Ye to help, Yu Ban to answer the right wing, Fu to help, Jia Xu to stay in Karen, and the governor to answer the matter.

And Lin Nan himself, but Yu and Yu led the guards to the depths of the grassland.

The pace of the Guard's march could not be said to be unfast, because in just one day, they came into contact with several small tribes of Xianbei. Treating foreign races, especially those who have not been converted, Lin Nan has never been polite.

So, after some burning, killing and looting, Lin Nan led the guards to the north again.

The day after Lin Nan left, Xu Huang and Yu Forbidden Department set off from Nazi County and Karen County respectively. The three-way army marched northward in the shape of "Pin".

After plundering to the north for two days, the Xianbei tribes along the way became scarce, and seeing this scene, Lin Nan did not feel very surprised: because the tribes on the grassland often lived by water and grass. The whereabouts are quite uncertain, if the Xianbei people hide, or sneak attack their own back road, then they will be in danger.

However, he and Xu Huang became horns in the forbidden three-way army. Stay in touch at all times and there shouldn't be any problems. It's a big deal, my trip is just empty-handed, there is a lesson from the defeat of the left and right of the Huns, and it is estimated that the Xianbei people may not have the courage to fight a decisive battle with themselves.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan discussed with the generals: "According to the grassland map provided by the Huns and the Bingzhou Chamber of Commerce, we still have three days to reach the royal court of the Xianbei people, but now the Xianbei people have no reaction at all, this is really a bit bad, I don't know what you think?"

Lin Nan finished speaking. Zhang Fei said: "It may be that the Xianbei people are afraid and have already hidden." If you want me to say, we shouldn't salute first and then fight at all, just send troops to fight and it's over. As a result, now that people have run away, we may have come in vain this trip. ”

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, Tai Shici also said: "What Yide said is right, we should speed up the march and go straight to the royal court." ”

But Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, I'm afraid the enemy has other intentions." ”

After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Zhang He and Huang Zhong also nodded in agreement. thinks what Zhao Yun said makes sense.

Seeing that the generals were divided into two factions, Lin Nan set his sights on Yu Xuan.

Yu Pan thought about it and said: "Zilong's words are reasonable, and I also feel that this matter is very abnormal. Therefore, we need to be more vigilant. Increase the reconnaissance range of the scouts, and at the same time, be sure to keep in touch with the rear army to avoid accidents. ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Based on Nan's intuition, it can be judged that the Xianbei people must be luring the enemy deeper, so." We can do what we can and go straight in, as long as we can keep in touch with the rear army. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone also agreed.

So, Lin Nan ordered the army to rest on the spot and drive straight in tomorrow, and at the same time ordered Xu Huang and Yu Ban to speed up the hurry.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan led the guards all the way to attack the royal court of the Xianbei people.

Finally, on the night of the third day, Lin Nan's army approached the royal court.

After scouts' investigation, there should be no less than 200,000 Xianbei people here, and there should be 100,000 capable warriors.

Seeing that the enemy army was strong, Lin Nan did not dare to make a mistake, so he had to set up camp first and prepare for a sneak attack in the early morning.

On this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Bingzhou army, which had been attacking for two days, was already sleepy and tired, and fell asleep sweetly.

But as soon as he arrived on the third watch, Lin Nan was awakened by the noise outside the camp.

As soon as he heard the commotion, Lin Nan understood: the enemy was sneaking up.

I was just about to organize an army to sneak attack the enemy, but I was attacked by the enemy first, and I was depressed!

I used to always sneak attack the Huns, but I didn't expect to be attacked by the Xianbei people today, depressed!

Of course, Lin Nan didn't think about it that much, and he didn't have time to think about it that much.

Quickly getting up, Lin Nan hurriedly summoned the heralds while putting on his armor, and hurriedly ordered the trumpeters to blow the assembly horn.

Lin Nan's Chinese army camp is very tightly arranged, the center is Lin Nan's marshal tent, the back is the staff officer Yu turned over the camp tent, and the left and right are the trumpeter, the standard-bearer, and the herald's camp tent, so that Lin Nan's command center is formed, which is convenient for the command and dispatch of the army. At the same time, the guard battalion and special forces surrounded Lin Nan's command center in the center as a barrier. And the periphery of the Chinese army camp is also full of organs, trapping horse pits, stumbling ropes, rejecting antlers, and thistles...... 1. Protective means emerge one after another.

In front and behind the Chinese army camp, there are also Zhao Yuntai, Shi Ci, Zhang He, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and other people's camps to protect them, so the Chinese army camp is absolutely safe.

And the outer camps of Zhao Yun and others are also very tightly arranged, because Lin Nan always likes to sneak attack other people's camps, so naturally he is more afraid of others coming to sneak attack, so every time after the camp is completed, Lin Nan always has to lead the generals to personally inspect it, just in case.

Therefore, the Xianbei people actually started to sneak attack from the second watch, but in order to break through the protection of the perimeter of the Han army camp, they did it for an hour, and finally woke up the Han army.

There's no way, who let Lin Nan be too careful, and make the protective measures on the periphery of the camp too desperate.

With thousands of people and horses, the Xianbei people finally came into contact with the front of the Han army, which was the dragoon army and wolf cavalry army of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.

At this time, Lin Nan had also organized the soldiers, in addition to the front was fighting, the two divisions of Zhang He and Zhang Fei on the left and right and the Huang Zhongsuo division in the rear army had already been assembled.

Therefore, Lin Nan ordered Zhang He and Zhang Fei to quickly attack the left and right flanks of the Xianbei people, ordered Huang Zhong to quickly go to the front to kill and wound the Xianbei people with bows and arrows, and at the same time ordered the dragoon and wolf cavalry to quickly retreat. Strive to use the camp as a fortress to gain time and space for defensive counterattacks.

Blood splattered, shouting to kill the sky, and on a dark and windy night in this month, a battle of sneak attack and counter-sneak attack began.

Seeing that the left and right flanks were attacked, and the attack of the front army did not improve, the Xianbei people's reinforcements finally came up again, so the two sides fought together again.

After about an hour, Lin Nan couldn't help but be secretly frightened, because until now, he hadn't figured out how many soldiers and horses the Xianbei people had. Therefore, Lin Nan hurriedly ordered the trumpeters to blow the question trumpet to understand the battle situation of the various departments.

Fortunately, the state army has three means of command and communication: drums, horns, and flags, otherwise, on such a dark night, if it can't effectively contact its own troops, then the end of the state army will be miserable.

Receiving the clarion call for the response of the various departments, Lin Nan couldn't help but be shocked: because all the departments were besieged at the same time.

Lin Nan was a little stupid: How many troops does this Xianbei person have?

And after thinking about it calmly, Lin Nan understood: there are not many soldiers, but only the dispatch of ears.

Therefore, Lin Nan ordered the trumpeters to blow the centripetal horn, and ordered all units to move closer to the battalion, start defense, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack after dawn. Because it is too dark now, and the grasp of the enemy's situation is also very unclear, it is really impossible to organize a counterattack.

In this way, the ministries began to organize an effective defense.

Seeing that the Han army had already prepared, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and defended tightly, the Xianbei people had no choice but to postpone the attack.

So, after another hour, the east finally turned white, and the sky gradually brightened. At this time, the Xianbei people had already given up the attack, but surrounded Lin Nan's large battalion.

When the sky was bright, Lin Nan realized that he had been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people.

Seeing that the shape was urgent, Lin Nan hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss the military situation.

After some deliberation, everyone agreed that they should wait for Xu Huang and Yu Ban's receiving troops to arrive before launching a counterattack.

And seeing that Lin Nan did not break through, the Xianbei people were not in a hurry to attack.

In this way, the day passed boringly in the confrontation with each other.

The next day, it was still a continuation of the boring confrontation of the previous day.

Two days later, Lin Nan finally understood: Xu Huang and Yu Ban's armies must have also been blocked by the Xianbei people.

Looking at the little grain and grass he had left, Lin Nan decided to break through.

At the same time, the Xianbei people actually sent envoys to persuade them to surrender. (To be continued.) )
