Chapter 177: Old Scheming Tanshi Huai

Not blowing or black, Sandalwood is not only brave and humble, but its wisdom is rare even in the Han Dynasty.

Winter and spring communication, as soon as the ice and snow melted, he ordered the gathering of troops.

In order to avoid accidents, Tanshi Huai sent Ge Zhi Duoluo, who already had a lot of prestige, to Xuansu to contain Gongsun Du.

Since Yuwenzhu returned from defeat last year, Tanshi Huai understands that the biggest obstacle to going south to the Central Plains may be this seemingly inconspicuous Gongsun Du.

Otherwise, Yuwen Zhu would have been cut down a long time ago, and now there is no scum!

It's just that Tanshihuai didn't tell Ge Ri Duo about this idea, so that Ge Ri Duo Luo now has to defeat Gongsun Du in one fell swoop, and then take Xuansu and Liaodong, and then go west, and hunt the Central Plains with Tan Shi Huai.

In his opinion, Geridoro is no worse than him in terms of bravery and resourcefulness, but this heart is still a little worse, so that he will always make some disappointing moves.

Xianbei obeyed him not only because of his prestige, but also because of his fairness and admirability. And Gřidoro, on the other hand, is more of a formidable reputation forged by killing.

Tanshi Huai felt that if this continued for a long time, it would inevitably cause turmoil. Therefore, Gongsun Du is still unclear that Tanshi Huai wants to borrow his hand to sharpen the successor.

For Gongsun Du, a young man who suddenly appeared, Tan Shihuai admired it a lot, and he felt that even if he wanted to defeat the other party, he would have to have at least 150,000 horses.

However, obviously, Tanshi Huai will not lose a big one because of a small one, and give up the Central Plains for the sake of Gongsun Du, Xuansu, and Liaodong.

Tanshi Huai first sent people to take down Pingchang Li, who was already empty, and cut off the connection between Gongsun Du and the Central Plains. He probably didn't expect Gongsun Du to expect it, and he wished it was like this!

Yes, at this time, apart from Gongsun Du, who would have thought that Liaodong would be able to contact the Central Plains from the sea!

Fortunately, Gongsun Du didn't have the idea of contacting the imperial court, and Tanshi Huai didn't have to worry, although he didn't know.

At the same time, the cities that were taken by Yanmen and other border counties last year, according to the secret hands left behind when they were evacuated last year, only a day or two before and after, fell one after another, which shocked the Han court.

Subsequently, in order to respond to Ge Zhiduoluo and further deter the Han Dynasty, so that the Han court understood that Zhang Huan was not his opponent of Tanshihuai at all, he led the army to attack Youzhou, and the Han army was defeated and retreated, but in a few days, he lost the city and lost the county.

At this time, it happened that Gřidoro was uneasy because of Gongsun Du's words, and the person sent to seek peace of mind from Tanshihuai arrived.

Interestingly, the person invited by Yubunsuke to intercede also arrived at the same time.

After listening to the words brought by Gřidoro's cronies, although he was still calm, his heart jumped violently, and he felt that what Gongsun Du said might be ...... It's true!

However, this feeling came and went quickly, so that Tanshi Huai thought it was just an illusion, so he ignored it.

"You go back and tell Doro that it's just a conspiracy by Gongsun Du in order to make him uneasy so that he can make a wrong decision and defeat him."

"Also, tell Doro not to rush to win, and to play steady."

"Oh, also, the affairs of the Yuwen Department, let him leave it alone."

Leave it alone, which means that Sandalwood does not agree with Geridoro's approach. In his opinion, Yuwenzhu is not only right, but meritorious, and it is precisely because of Yuwenzhu's defeat that he knows that there is such a potential enemy as Gongsun Du. The reason why it is said to be potential is only because Gongsun Du did not take the initiative to attack Xianbei.

Exposed early, the danger was reduced, just like now, if there is no Geridoro's containment, once Gongsun Du suddenly kills from behind, although Xianbei will not be defeated, but the loss will be great.

Therefore, although Tanshi Huai will not reward Yuwen Zhu for this, he will not have the idea of attacking him, at most, he will ignore it for the time being.

However, because Yuwenzhu invited someone to come to intercede, Yuwenzhu should be very panicked in his heart, and Tanshi Huai pondered and comforted him, so he had to be careful. If it weren't for last year's Tuoba Department, maybe Tanshi Huai wouldn't have thought so, but it's hard to talk about it now.

After asking Yubunsuke to intercede said that he had rejected Gřidoro's request, he secretly sent someone to spy on Yubunsuke.

Probably Tan Shihuai, who thought he was scheming, didn't expect that it was this reason that caused Yuwenzhu to choose to leave.

As early as when he asked someone to intercede, the cunning Yubunsuke planned for the worst, arranging for people to watch the surrounding area of the tribe very closely, alternating light and dark. When the first day of the first year arranged by Tanshi Huai appeared, it aroused Yu Wenzhu's suspicions, and he felt that the reason why Tanshi Huai hadn't done anything to him was because he couldn't draw more manpower, after all, most of them went south to attack the Han Dynasty.

In order to prevent him from escaping at this time, he was monitored.

As time passed, Yubunsuke became more and more sure of this opinion, but because he was constantly watched, he didn't dare to leave easily, so he could only calm down and wait for the opportunity.

It's just that after March and May, it's going to be winter again, that is to say, the time is very tight, only March and May, or even shorter, before the return of the sandalwood acacia victory......

Tanshi Huai may also feel the crisis, and accelerated his plan to attack Youzhou, and at the same time, he also began to attack Youzhou, he wanted to take Youzhou except Zhuo County, as well as all the cities north of the Xiongnu.

In the face of the sandalwood locust that was well prepared and wanted to show its might, the soldiers of the counties and counties, which had long been decayed, had no power to resist at all. The imperial court received the news and just responded, the army gathered, and before it set off, the war in Youzhou came to an end.

The time taken before and after is only half a month.

Then Tan Shihuai led the army west to merge with the state, at this time he was no longer worried about Gongsun Du, even if Ge Ri Doro was defeated, as long as the defeat was not complete and the loss was not large, it didn't matter much in his opinion.

As long as he takes the state (north of the northern Xiongnu, which is roughly the north of Jiuyuan), he can establish an immortal foundation, far surpassing the kings of the grassland tribes in the past.

Zhang Huan, who led the troops again, only passed Mengjin, and got the news that Tan Shihuai led the army westward, and after some consideration, he changed his route to Bingzhou, and at the same time reported the matter to the imperial court, requesting that another person be sent to lead the army to recover Youzhou.

Although the state is because of the fierce folk customs, the progress of the marshal under Tanshi Huai is not smooth.

But when the old scheming Tanshi Huai personally led the army to arrive, coercion and temptation, secretly digging the ground and all kinds of means were put into battle, and then there was the prestige of Tanshi Huai, and before Zhang Huan led the army to arrive, the set goal was completed.

Seeing this, Zhang Huan could only choose to retreat and retreat to Taiyuan.

Xianbei had just won a big victory, morale was high, and all of them were cavalry, and the Han army was at a disadvantage compared to it, in this case, it was the best choice to avoid the edge for the time being.

However, not everyone in the military was completely convinced of Zhang Huan. Especially the children of the family who originally planned to follow Zhang Huan to take credit, felt that this was an opportunity to take the position, so he secretly conveyed the news of Zhang Huan's passive slackness to his family.

It's just that to their disappointment, it was not the holy decree of replacing people, but the coming of a prison army to urge Zhang Huan to recover the lost territory.

Zhang Huan disagreed, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he had to lead the army north and attack Jiuyuan.

Tanshi Huai had expected this, and ambushed Zhang Huan in the middle of the road.

Zhang Huan was defeated and escaped with only a few people.

After returning to Taiyuan and counting, more than half of the 50,000 troops had been lost, and most of the rest were wounded, and they were no longer able to fight again. Most of the children of the family who had sowed discord before died in this ambush battle, which can be described as self-defeating!

However, the surviving children of the family did not think so, and then Zhang Huan lost his official position and was escorted back to the court.

After defeating Zhang Huan, Tanshi Huai did not continue to go south, but began to stabilize the city that had been taken, and set his sights on Gongsun Du in Liaodong.
