"Sandalwood locust, sandalstone locust, should I say that you are as timid as a mouse, or should I say that you are wise?"

Gongsun Du looked at the latest news in his hand, both proud and pity.

Proudly, Tan Shihuai didn't wait for him to kill, and then led the army to retreat, could it be that he got the news of the defeat of Houcheng?

Unfortunately, Gongsun Du originally decided to weaken Xianbei's strength in this battle, at least so that he would not be able to invade Liaodong in the next few years, and he would be able to pass through the Dao until 181, that is, the year of Tanshihuai's death. Right now...... Ay!

Gongsun Du pondered for a long time, let most of the people return to Xiangping, and continued to Gaoxian with a thousand personal soldiers.

He was not willing to let this great opportunity be missed, he had to do something, such as - revenge!

In the two consecutive years of the war, although Liaodong was victorious, it also caused Liaodong to suffer heavy losses and urgently need to recuperate! If Xianbei retreats safely this time, next year will be another unpeaceful year, and this matter must not happen! Absolutely stop!

In this regard, Gongsun Du has already made a draft.

and the supreme display.

After Gongsun Du learned the results of this battle from Xu Rong's mouth, he glanced around a few times and asked, "Didn't you say that Han Sheng is also there?" Why didn't you see anyone! ”

"Back to the lord's words, the last general is worried that Tanshihuai's retreat is an illusion, but in fact, he wants to use this to paralyze our army, and then kill a horse gun to take Gao Xian in one fell swoop, so he plans to send someone to monitor. Huang Duwei was worried that once there was fraud, the people and horses who were watching would suffer heavy casualties, so he personally led his troops there. Xu Rong immediately replied.

"I see!"

Gongsun Du answered, then pondered for a while, and then asked, "How many people did Han Sheng bring here?" ”

"The Xianbei army of Tanshi Huai has a lot of people, a total of 50,000 horses, the number is easy to be exposed, and the number of people is small and it is impossible to do no omission, yes, the number is not much, there are exactly two thousand people!" Xu Rong replied thoughtfully.

"Two thousand? It seems like a little little! Gongsun Du muttered in a low voice, "But it seems that there are few people, and the target is small, which is more conducive to hiding!" In that case......"

"Pass on a certain order, Huang Zhong does not have to monitor Tan Shihuai and the others, immediately take a detour to Xianbei, where you encounter the Xianbei tribe, if you can take it, don't let it go, let him implement the law of the grassland!"

"Prairie laws? This ......"

Xu Rong was shocked when he heard this, and did not immediately agree, but said, "My lord, will this cause dissatisfaction among the ministers of the DPRK and China?" ”

"Dissatisfied? Minister of the DPRK and China? ”

Gongsun Du smiled coldly and said, "Where can the court still take care of us?" If it weren't for us behind the scenes, it would be impossible to say that Tanshi Huai would have reached the south of the Yellow River. ”

This is true and false, it is really Liaodong behind the back, Tanshi Huai can't focus all his energy on the Central Plains, and he must always be on guard against Liaodong's sneak attack; The fake is that Tanshi Huai actually has no intention of expanding further south, he is very clear about his Xianbei strength, and further south, his control will be greatly reduced, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos.

But Xu Rong didn't know, although he also felt that Xianbei might not be able to control more territory, but according to Xianbei's offensive, it was not impossible to hit the south!

Yes, Xu Rong was silent.

"Alright, so be it!"

After Gongsun Du finished speaking, he paused, remembered something again, and asked, "Did Han Sheng say what happened to Lou Ru and Fuyu?" ”

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Rong first responded, and then said, "Huang Duwei has already cleared out the remaining Buyeo and Louru tribes, but there are quite a few people, especially many small tribes, who fled to the north before he arrived, and it seems that they were received by Helian. ”

"Is that so?"

Gongsun Du touched his chin, pondered for a while, and nodded, "Well, that's fine." ”

Not to mention what happened after Huang Zhong received the order, Gongsun Du stayed in Gao Xian for the time being, but he was not idle, and the news that He Lian took the opportunity to collect Fuyu and Lou Ru spread to the ears of Wei Qiutai, Jian Ju and the original little prince Lou Ru in Marudu, adding to their hearts.

Lou Ru's little prince, that is, the guy who Lou Ru sent out to ally with Goguryeo before, this little prince is really a little clever, last year when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately retreated, but he was clever enough, but the luck was really bad enough, when he fled for his life, he was worried that there would be danger on the return trip, and he detoured to Fuyu, but he was caught by Yangyi, but it was tragic enough!

Gongsun Du didn't embarrass him, but just let him stay in Xiangping, not to go out of the city at will, and even when he went out, there would be two to four "guards" to follow. In this way, the little prince Lou Ru, who had been raised for more than a year, chose to give in, and it became the way to take down Lou Ru in Gongsun Du's mouth.

Why don't you say that the little prince Lou Ru is clever enough? Knowing that Lou Ru's general trend had gone, he was very obedient and collected the south of the Lou Ru king's capital according to Gongsun Du's requirements, including the Lou Ru tribe within the original Goguryeo. In other words, Gongsun Du took almost half of Lou Ru without a single soldier, which can be described as a big profit.

The news that came back really made Wei Qiutai unhappy, but he who had already decided to quit did not say anything, but Jian Ju and the little prince Lou Ru had quite a "performance".

The two of them spread the matter among the clansmen as agreed, and they all tacitly changed it to Helian taking the opportunity to annex and so on. He also took the opportunity to persuade the clansmen to go south and live in Liaodong, Lelang and other places.

When Gongsun Du heard these news, it was seven or eight days later, and by this time, he had already left Gaoxian and returned to Xiangping.

Tanshi Huai did not have the intention of killing the carbine, and Huang Zhong also made a smooth detour and entered the territory of Xianbei first.

Since Tanshi Huai was not far behind him, Huang Zhong sensibly did not choose to immediately make a move on the Xianbei tribe, but chose to continue to go deeper, and after exploring the direction of the Tanshi Huai army, he chose a better direction - stay away. It's just that the previous task was to monitor, and the rations carried were not much, and to this day, there is only one day's rations left.

"One day? Enough is enough! ”

Huang Zhongsan swallowed the dry food in his hand into his stomach, sent the baggage officer, and said to the deputy general, "Rest on the spot, send people out to explore in the west and north, the range - a hundred miles!" ”

"Yes, Lord Lieutenant!"

The lieutenant left in response.

Huang Zhong fell into deep thought, or complication.

The reason is that when the order was received, one of the sentences - "Allow the implementation of the law of the steppe!" ”

What is the Law of the Prairie?

To put it simply, it is to eat on the spot, plus slaughter the city!

Feeding on the spot is very simple, that is, where you take it, you can replenish your logistics, especially rations, which can greatly reduce the impact of logistical baggage. Huang Zhong didn't mind this, and was even very happy, because except for a verbal baggage officer here, in fact, all the rations were carried by everyone, and there was no baggage camp.

Slaughtering the city is troublesome, at least Huang Zhong doesn't want to see it, even if the other party is of a different race, even if there is a little difference between this slaughtering city and his own slaughtering city. It is the tribes on the grassland that attack each other, and the victorious side usually snatches away the women and all the cattle and sheep in the tribe, while the men, as long as they are higher than the wheels, will all click off to prevent future troubles!

Even so, Huang Zhong still felt that it was inappropriate, he thought the same as Xu Rong, this would reach the ears of the imperial court in the future, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be criticized by domestic celebrities and so on, such as murderous, cruel and unkind, etc., which was not good for Liaodong!

"To? Or don't? ”

Huang Zhong is very entangled in this question, if he doesn't, it is tantamount to not obeying Gongsun Du's orders, which is not only ungrateful to him, but also disobedient and disrespectful; Yes, I can't bear it......

In the midst of the entanglement, the sent scout rider had news-

"Newspaper~"

"A tribe was found more than sixty miles to the west, which should belong to a medium-sized tribe, about six or seven thousand people, they were very busy, and seemed to be preparing supplies for the winter, so we were not found."

After getting the news, Huang Zhong temporarily put aside the entanglement in his heart and decided to ......

Drift? See when the time comes?

"Let's go!"

Huang Zhong headed towards the tribe he had discovered.

When there was still a distance of seven or eight miles, Huang Zhong ordered the army to stay where it was, and personally took several scouts to the vicinity to take a closer look.

"You didn't find us? Why is that? Well, yes, before receiving the order, I didn't expect the main guild to make such a decision, and I wouldn't have thought of it if Xianbei thought about it, including Xianbei's generation of heroes Tanshi Huai, probably the same. Then these ordinary people will not even think of it. ”

Huang Zhong's self-question and answer in his heart no one knew, and when he understood the situation, he hurriedly retreated.

"We split into four paths...... Three-way ...... All the way left......"
