Chapter 218: North Thousand Mountains
"Lord, my subordinates still can't figure out why?" Mi Zhu rode a horse and walked beside Gongsun Du, and asked with confusion.
Time and time distance news back, Wei You, Mi Zhu and Gongsun Du were shocked that more than a day has passed, Gongsun Du left Wei You to sit in Xiangping, with Mi Zhu as the military advisor, personally led five thousand iron horses, rushed to the north of Qianshan.
In this regard, Wei You disagrees very much, thinking that he can't do everything himself.
"Although Xianbei withdrew from Changli, he could not let down his vigilance, but he was the most threatening of the three, so Hansheng must be here; Fuyu stationed in Gaoxian, non-pavilion unstoppable; The three places in Dongyu were initially decided, and they still needed to be guarded by Tiro and should not be moved lightly; The Liao team not only has the responsibility of reinforcing Hansheng, but also has the role of stabilizing Liaodong. In addition, the rest of the generals may not be able to deal with the 50,000 Goguryeo army in Qianshan. Gongsun Du told Wei You.
Xianbei withdrew from Changli, and Gongsun Du and others thought about everything, but they didn't think that in the end, Buyeo and Goguryeo would jump out to cheer for Xianbei.
From the point of view of Xianbei, Buyeo and Goguryeo, there is no doubt that the relationship is extremely poor, even if it is not to the point of life and death, but it will not become allies and help each other.
But Buyeo and Goguryeo just did it, and each sent 50,000 troops to Gaoxian and Qianshan to contain Gongsun Du for Xianbei.
An army of 50,000!
Buyeo and Goguryeo are not Xianbei, they have a small population base, and the number of soldiers they have is much smaller, and the 50,000 army can be said to be the vast majority of their strength.
The power of the whole country to contain the enemy for the enemy?
Gongsun Du wanted to figure out what was going on, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind that the two clans must be cut off, and the only thing he needed to consider was when it was appropriate. Is it to destroy these two clans first, and then deal with Xianbei? Still is......
At this time, Mi Zhu sounded full of doubts, but in fact, there was a trace of uneasy words, and Gongsun Du felt the need to explain it well. He believed that it was not only Mi Zhu who felt uneasy at this time, but almost everyone was like this, after all, the enemy was waiting for an opportunity, and he lost contact with the Central Plains, and the only way to retreat was also cut off.
Gongsun Du pondered for a moment and said, "Why? Naturally, it's because we're too strong. ”
"Too strong?" Mi Zhu was obviously a little suppressed.
Gongsun Du nodded indifferently, and then said-
"That's right, it's too strong!"
"If it's not that we're too strong, but a disgusting guy who can be destroyed at your fingertips, do you think Sandalwood will sit idly by? Will you choose to retreat as advance? Destroy us long ago! To know that a stable rear is extremely important for the Xianbei of Tanshi Huai. Xianbei may be powerful, but too few people are always their flaw, and being restrained will disperse their power. ”
"If we weren't too strong, judging from the fact that Buyeo was defeated by us more than two years ago, they would have risked their lives to send troops? Obviously, in their minds, our threat has probably surpassed that of Xianbei, and they regard us as the primary enemy. ”
This is true, but perhaps Buyeo still hasn't changed his impression of Liaodong before!
"If we weren't too strong, how could Goguryeo be involved with us without grievances? It's because they feel threatened and want to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress or even defeat us. ”
Truth in saying this, Gongsun Du was most worried not about Xianbei or Buyeo, but about Goguryeo, who had not really fought so far, and perhaps they would attack Xiangping brazenly with Xianbei and Buyeo to contain some of his energy. That's why Gongsun Du will personally go out and go to Beishan. The purpose was to block the possible attacks of Goguryeo, but also to keep them out of Xiangping and not disturbed by it.
Gongsun Du didn't say this to Mi Zhu, he hoped that Mi Zhu could think about it for himself, and if he thought of it, maybe it would be the next Wei You, but if he didn't think of it, it would still be Mi Zhu.
"If we weren't too strong, how could Xianbei, Buyeo and Goguryeo unite because we were too strong, and they felt fear, hoping to suppress Liaodong through unity and cooperation."
After listening to this, Mi Zhu also felt that this was the reason in his heart. But for some reason, he always felt that this was not a reason to send troops, but there should be some other reason.
With such doubts, Mi Zhu rushed to the north of Qianshan with Gongsun Du.
Qianshan, speaking of which, it was not called this before, and each mountain has its own name. The origin of this name comes from the new map of Liaodong that Gongsun Du took out.
Thousand Mountains is a very famous place after 2,000 years, with a total of 999 peaks, which is named "Thousand Mountains"!
Qianshan spans a wide area, bordering the Bohai Sea in the south and Gaima Mountain (i.e., Changbai Mountain) in the north. That is to say, the northern part of Qianshan is the intersection of Qianshan and Gaima Mountain, and it can also be said to be a branch of Gaima Mountain, which is one of the main connecting roads between Marudu and Liaodong, and the main connection is Xiangping.
A few miles north of the headless peak.
Gongsun Du and five thousand iron horsemen set up camp here, not far from him is Gaima Mountain, the distance in the middle is no more than a hundred miles, if you hope to see this thing, maybe you can see the opposite side directly.
The reason why Gongsun Du did not go to the village was because the number of people was too small, if the 50,000 troops of Goguryeo rushed over regardless of it, they would not have to fight, and they would be directly scattered and defeated. Although the mountain peak is a little smaller, it is always better than nothing.
However, without a telescope, Gongsun Du just stood on the mountainside, and he could see the Goguryeo military camp dozens of miles away, they were really in charge of the village, entering, threatening Xiangping, retreating, and returning to the pill capital safely, especially in the face of the Han army of only 5,000, it was very simple.
"Butterfly, send someone to contact them, I hope to talk to their commander tomorrow." Gongsun Du looked at it for a long time and said to Huang Qing.
"Yes, my lord."
A flash of red flashed on Huang Qing's face, and he was about to turn around to make arrangements, but Gongsun Du suddenly remembered that there were many non-formal envoys like this in his memory, and it was difficult to have a full beard and a full tail, so he stopped again-
"Wait, Butterfly Dance!"
Huang Qing stopped and looked at Gongsun Du with a slightly puzzled look.
Gongsun Du pondered for a moment and said, "Let the people who go pay attention to safety, as long as the news arrives." ”
Huang Qing is not the kind of person who doesn't understand the world, he understood it as soon as he heard it, and said softly: "Yes, lord!" The subordinates thanked the lord for their concern. ”
Gongsun Du nodded, but a distracting thought flashed in his heart - "Dancing Butterfly seems to be a very gentle woman!" ”
Since the first half of the contact, Huang Qing, as the captain of the pro-soldier team, has been fully armed, and has practiced martial arts a lot, so that Gongsun Du gradually forgot her identity as a woman. Thinking about it now, he was a little frightened, and Gongsun couldn't help but shake his body.
It didn't take long for Huang Qing to arrange for someone to come back, and as before, standing not far from Gongsun Du's side, guarding Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know if it was because Huang Qing was a woman, or because he was affected by his previous thoughts, so he said, "Let's go back!" It's almost lunch. ”
"Yes, my lord." Huang Qing didn't notice anything wrong, because it was indeed noon, even if Gongsun Du didn't mention it, after a while, she would mention it, "Go back to the camp!" ”
After returning to the camp, Gongsun Du first found Mi Zhu and informed him of the possibility of meeting with the Goguryeo commander tomorrow.
To be honest, Mi Zhu was a little frightened, although he also felt that the five thousand cavalry in the battalion were all elite, but the gap between the numbers of the two sides was a bit big, and even the elite could not reach the point of fighting ten at a time. However, since Gongsun Du had already arranged it, he had no chance to oppose it, so he just thought secretly: It's better not to agree to this group of arrogant bastards.
Thinking about it, Mi Zhu next proposed a series of preparatory measures.
