Compared with the cautious Zhong Xuan, the rebellious general's mansion in Pingcheng was full of people at this time. Zhao Yun's battle report of the three cities was like a water drop oil pot, which made Gao Gan, Yuan Tan, and Budugen completely explode. Especially those Xianbei warriors who entered the customs with the roots of the step, all of them were conceited and brave, clamoring to kill all the famous generals in Youzhou. Before they could attack, the other party actually came to the door first.

Such a naked provocation completely aroused the murderous intent in the blood of the Xianbei people. No, before the senior cadres who were the commanders could speak, several young and strong men sitting below had already risen up one after another, roaring like beasts. The voice was so loud that the ears of all the generals present were buzzing.

Although Gao Gan could feel the murderous aura of the Xianbei people, he couldn't understand what the other party was yelling at after all. So he was deeply curious, and he couldn't help but lean over to Budugen and ask, "Shan Yu, what does this mean?" ”

Bu Dugen, who sat on Gao Gan's left hand side, was about forty years old, wearing a white robe trimmed with mink, with a messy beard, but the hair on the top of his head was neatly shaved, with only a few residual decorations on his temples. It is said that the Xianbei tribes of this era have not yet formed unified customs and habits. In terms of hairstyle alone, there are braided cords, shaved heads, and simply draped hair. There are also great differences in clothing. A white-clothed outfit like Budugen is a typical costume of the Eastern Xianbei aristocracy. But the same outfit will be contemptuously called "white captive" when it comes to Mobei Xianbei. This kind of inconsistency in customs may also be one of the inducements for the rapid sinicization of Xianbei later.

At this moment, in the face of Gao Gan's inquiry, Bu Dugen looked quite proud, but when he saw him pointing to one of the most burly Xianbei warriors, he said proudly, "My Xianbei warriors are praying to the wolf god and vowing to take the head of the general!" ”

Although Bu Dugen's Chinese is quite slippery, the senior cadres and Yuan Tan present were not moved by his bold words. Especially Yuan Tan, who once participated in the Battle of Guandu. To this day, I still clearly remember the appearance of Yan Liang's head in the brocade box. So he knew better than anyone in the room what a tricky opponent they were up against.

This is Zhao Zilong, who beheaded Yan Liang, how can he be compared to other barbarians-Yuan Tan wanted to refute Bu Dugen like this, but he still didn't say it in the end. This is to overemphasize Zhao Yun's courage at this moment, and there is a suspicion of destroying his own prestige with the ambition of others; Second, Bu Dugen is an ally invited by Yuan Tan after all, and rejecting his face is a slap in the face.

However, Yuan Tan saved face for Bu Dugen, which does not mean that the others present will let the Xianbei people amplify their words. No, Bu Dugen's words had just fallen, and the general under the senior cadre tent waved his hand and reminded, "Zhao Zilong is by no means an ordinary reckless man, and Cai Anzhen is surrounded by strategists. Don't be careless. ＂

He said this very appropriately, which not only warned the Xianbei people, but also did not refute Budugen's face. On the contrary, Budugen also patted his thigh with great agreement and said, "This general is right!" The Han people are the most cunning! ＂

Bu Dugen's "cunning" evaluation made the Han people present look a little embarrassed. However, considering that the other party is just a barbarian who does not accept the king. Gao Gan and the others didn't care about the "gaffe" of Budugen. At the same time, the reminder of the recruitment also calmed down the generals present. began to seriously consider how to deal with the aggressive Zhao Zilong.

However, Gao Gan's talent is limited after all. and Zhao Yun's prestige did not dare to take the initiative. After a moment of silence, he turned his gaze to Wei Gu and Zhao. Wei Gu is the mastermind of Gao Gan, and at least half of the reason why Gao Gan was able to get up smoothly this time is due to Wei Gu's work, so Wei Gu's resourcefulness cannot be questioned. Although he was a military general, he devoted himself to studying under Anping Mingshi Le Yin when he was more than ten years old. In the sixth year of Zhongping, ten permanent servants were in chaos. Le Yin was killed, and he recruited Shi Lu, a protégé of Le Yin, and others, to take the risk of collecting Le Yin's body and carrying him back to his hometown. The road meets the bandits. Shi Lu and the others all fled in all directions, and the thieves felt that he was a righteous person and let him go, thus making him famous. Soon after, he was recruited by Yuan Shao and led Karasuma to ride. Later, Yuan Shao's ministers violated the law, and Yuan Shao was surprised and did not blame him. It can be seen that the lead is not only brave and strategic, but also its conduct is above the guard.

However, at this time, the senior cadre didn't have the heart to evaluate the character of the martial arts below, he only knew that the only wise and resourceful people who could give him advice in the lobby at this moment were Wei Gu and the two of them. Thinking of this, Gao Gan asked Zhao, "Zhao Zilong is menacing this time, I don't know if Zijing can deal with it?" ＂

Zhao pondered for a moment, and replied, "Zhaoguan Zhao Zilong led more than 10,000 hussars to sweep Yanmen, and after a long-distance attack, he must not fight for a long time. Therefore, it is thought that the general will be clear the wilderness because of the strong wall, and wait for the rest of the work, and after the Qi army is tired, it is not too late to send troops to kill. ＂

Gao Gan nodded thoughtfully after hearing what he said. Bu Dugen on the side was confused, and hurriedly asked, "What is waiting for work?" ＂

"It is to stay in the city, and wait for the Qi army to be tired, and then go out of the city to cover and kill. Yuan Tan explained to Bu Dugen in easy-to-understand language.

But Bu Dugen jumped up like a dog with its tail stepped on, "How can a dignified Xianbei warrior hide behind the city wall!" Wouldn't that be a shameful coward! ＂

As soon as Bu Dugen's words came out, the faces of the generals of the Han family, who had been stationed in the city all the year round, turned completely black. However, what is quite surprising is that Wei Gu, the military advisor who had not spoken before, suddenly echoed Budugendao, "Budugenshan is right." The general had 100,000 people, but because of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Zhaoyun District, he was trapped in Pingcheng. If this matter spreads, not only will the Hu tribes outside Senese laugh at the general, but even the counties and counties in the prefecture will also doubt the general's strength. ＂

Wei Gu's words can be said to have hit the weakness of Gao Gan and Yuan Tan. Although this time, the two of them took advantage of the momentum of the edict to raise troops against Cao, and won a lot of strong responses from the state sect party. But this can't hide the notoriety of Gao Gan and Yuan Tan themselves, one of them is a remnant of Han thieves who surrendered and rebelled, and the other is an unfilial rebel who will not be saved when he sees death. As soon as the war turned against the two of them, the forces that had taken their lead to them would fall to their opponents like grass on the wall. If it weren't for this, Zhao Yun would not have been able to connect the three cities in an instant.

"In Mr. Zhongjian's opinion, we should send troops?" Gao Gan cautiously asked Wei Gu.

Wei Gu didn't answer Gao Gan directly, but asked rhetorically, "Does the general know that Captain Wuhuan Yan Rou has taken refuge in Cai Ji?" ”

"Ben Shuai has heard a little." Gao Gan nodded. As for Yuan Tan on the side, he snorted unceremoniously, "Wu Na Yan Rou dares to betray the alliance of in-laws. Switched to Cai's family, and when Lone conquered Youzhou, he must cramp and peel his skin! ”

Regarding Yuan Tan's cruel words, Wei Gu didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, the eldest prince Yuan in front of him is just a lost dog with a fox and a fake tiger. After the peace of mind is settled, the first person Gao Gan has to deal with is probably his cousin. Thinking about it, Wei Gu certainly wouldn't put these thoughts on his face, so he saw him respectfully arch towards Yuan Tan again, "The King of the Plains knows that Yan Rou once asked Cai Ji for battle, but Cai Ji politely declined. ”

Yuan Tan hated Wei Gu very much and called him the King of the Plains. This not only demoted his status several levels, but also denied his legitimate inheritance to the Great Chen State. But the current situation did not allow Yuan Tan to continue to put the emperor's score, so Yuan Tan had to pinch his nose and hum, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Wei Gu didn't pay any attention to Yuan Tan's feelings, and instead looked around at everyone. Xinran explained, "According to the spies. Yan Rou once said to Cai Ji on the Great Wall, 'I am willing to lead my troops to follow the Marquis of Qi to conquer Xiaoxiao'. Cai Ji invited Yan Rou to 'play on the plug', and sent Zhao Yun as the vanguard to 'send troops to Yanmen' in public. ”

Seeing that Wei Gu had learned the dialogue between Yan Rou and Cai Ji vividly, Yuan Tan and the others all showed stunned looks. Wei Gu triumphantly twisted his long beard and smiled without saying a word. Don't look at the vast territory of Hebei, but the famous sects and clans in Heshuo are like a huge spider web, each of which is implicated, and shares the information they have obtained with each other. On that day, there were many Youzhou officials on the Great Wall, so Cai Ji's words and deeds on the Great Wall had reached Wei Gu's ears within a few days.

However, compared to Weigu's intelligence network. Everyone was even more surprised by Cai Ji's cousin. But seeing that Gao Gan had an unbelievable tone, he asked Wei Gu, "Is this serious?" Cai Ji really doesn't need to ride in Wuhuan? ”

It is said that after the Eastern Han Dynasty moved a part of the Wuhuan people to the south, in order to conquer the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it selected a part of the brave and healthy people from the Wuhuan people who moved south to form a mercenary army commanded by the Wuhuan captain. This mercenary army is what Gao Gan called the "Wuhuan Turret". Although the Wuhuan people, who are more sinicized, are not as fierce as the Xianbei people, the perennial marching training has made the Wuhuan cavalry more disciplined than the Saiwai Zhuhu, and more suitable for the combat style of the Han army. What's more, using razing to control razing is the consistent practice of the Han army. Therefore, in Gao Gan's opinion, Cai Ji's lack of riding without Wuhuan is simply an incredible thing.

"It's true. According to the spies, the Wuhuan Tuqi is still in the upper valley. When Wei Gu said this, he smiled slightly and analyzed Gao Gan, "Actually, this matter is not surprising. The foreign tribes have always respected martial arts. Cai Anzhen, as a woman, has no power to restrain the chicken, and rashly orders Wuhuan to ride, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. He sent Zhao Zilong as the vanguard, which was to take advantage of Zhao Zilong's courage to subdue the Wuhuan tribes. ”

After listening to Wei Gu's analysis, Gao Gan and Yuan Tan both nodded in agreement. Cai Ji's womanhood can be said to be her biggest weakness, in the Central Plains, she can also use the name of "Female Pipe" to recruit celebrities to enter the scene, and the Hu people in the Saiwai grassland, who respect martial arts, do not eat this set at all. As for Bu Dugen, who had never fought with Cai Ji, he echoed loudly, "The military advisor is right! Xianbei people will never serve a woman as the master! ”

Followed by Yuan Tan, he also slapped his thighs and his eyes lit up, "According to Mr. Zhongjian's words, if you can defeat Zhao Yun in one fell swoop, won't the Wuhuan tribes abandon Cai Ji and leave!" ”

The lead is not as optimistic as Yuan Tan and others. After all, knowing Cai Ji's purpose is one thing, and how to defeat Zhao Yun is another. Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning and shook his head, "Zhao Zilong once served as a white horse under Gongsun Zhan's tent, and he is familiar with the terrain, and the soldiers and horses he leads are all hussars, so it is not easy to find his traces." ”

Regarding the question raised by the Zhao, Wei Gu asked disappreciatively, "General Zijing, do you still remember the siege of Baideng?" ”

Of course, he knew the siege of Baideng, and in the seventh year of Gaozu, Gaozu Liu Bangqin led an army of 320,000 to fight against the Xiongnu and at the same time suppressed the rebellion of Han Wangxin. After the Han army entered Taiyuan County, it won successive victories, and Han Wangxin fled to the Xiongnu Maodun Shan Yu. Due to the successive victories of the Han army, Liu Bang began to paralyze the enemy. Especially after arriving in Jinyang, Liu Bang heard that the Xiongnu were stationed in Daigu, so he sent more than ten groups of envoys to the Xiongnu. Mao Dun Shan Yu deliberately hid the elite troops, and lined up the old, weak, sick and disabled in front of the battle. More than ten groups of envoys sent back said that the Xiongnu could attack. Until the Han envoy Liu Jing went to envoy the Xiongnu again, he came back and reported: "The two countries are fighting each other, this should boast and see the director, and now the ministers will go to see the barren, the old and the weak. foolishly thought that the Huns could not be attacked". However, Liu Bang did not listen to the advice, but arrested Liu Jing and imprisoned him in Guangwu City, preparing to punish him after the triumph. After that, Liu Bangqin led the cavalry to Pingcheng first, and the Han infantry had not yet fully arrived at this time. Mao Dunshan saw the Han soldiers rushing to set up an ambush on Baishan Mountain. Liu Bang led the soldiers and horses into the encirclement, and Mao Dunshan commanded an army of 400,000 Huns on a horse, intercepted the Han infantry, and besieged Liu Bang's soldiers and horses in Baishan Mountain, so that the Han army had no food and grass and no reinforcements outside, and could not save each other. After Liu Bang found out that he was surrounded, he organized a breakthrough, and after several fierce battles, he did not break out. At this time, it was the middle of winter, the climate was very cold, and many Han soldiers had frostbite. In desperation, Liu Bang had to use Chen Ping's strategy to bribe the Xiongnu clan (queen), so that the clan said to Mao Dunshan Yu: "The two lords are not trapped in each other. Now it has the land of Han, and it is not possible to live in the end. And the king of Han also has a god, just to observe it. At the same time, Maudon agreed with the Allies on a date for the meeting, but the Allies did not arrive on time. Mao Dunshan suspected that the other party had colluded with the Han army, so he adopted the Jian Yiì of the Yan clan, opened a corner of the encirclement, and let the Han army withdraw. On that day, the weather was foggy, and the Han army was able to escape from danger by "holding Fu Ya to the countryside" and "Xu Xing out of the siege". After returning to China, Liu Bang beheaded more than a dozen envoys who spoke of the Xiongnu attack, and pardoned Liu Jing, and was named the Marquis of Guannei, with 2,000 households of Shilu, and was called the Marquis of Jianxin.

Wei Gu proposed the siege of Baideng, which was a household name in the Han Dynasty at this moment, obviously to ask Gao Gan and others to learn from Mao Dun Shan Yu and use deception to lure Zhao Yun into the ambush circle. But he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say why something was wrong. So just as he was thinking about it, Gao Gan had already accepted Wei Gu's words, "Good, please ask Mr. Zhongjian for this matter." (To be continued......)
