Chapter 252: The Poisoner's Strategy
,
"Zijing, you suggest that you send a lonely envoy to Xianbei to meet with the leader Bu Dugen, so as to induce him to send troops to attack Kebineng and disperse the forces of Kebineng's troops?"
Hearing this, the gentleman's costume couldn't help but smile, and he arched his hand and said: "King Wei, that's what the minister means, Budugen is the brother of the head of Xianbei, since he took the throne, he has been at odds with Kebineng, the two sides often attack each other, and under the years of fighting, it has also accumulated a deep hatred between the two tribes." ”
"The minister thinks that if our army can lure them with profits, and then promise them some promises, Budugen should be tempted to intersect with our army and agree to fight together with Kebineng."
Speaking of this, he showed confidence on his face and continued: "When Zeng Chen was stationed in Yanmen County, he sent the dead soldiers deep into the outside of the fortress to find out information, and he once found out that the Budugen department controlled most of the pastures, and there were many tribes, and even the north of the fertile Hetao Plain was occupied by Xianbei. ”
"It is precisely like this, there are about seventy or eighty thousand people in the root of the step, and the strength is comparable to Kebi."
"Budugen can help our army."
A seat fell.
He solemnly pleaded.
After that, Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly, glanced at the ministers around him, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, what do you think of this strategy?" ”
When the words fell, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but look pensive and thoughtful when they heard it.
Half ringing.
Sima Yi, who was over forty years old, wore a green shirt and clothes, and his sideburns were curled up and he echoed: "King Wei, the minister seconded the proposal." ”
"The minister agrees."
In just a short period of time, Sima Yi, Dong Zhao and others agreed.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Cao Cao was also overjoyed, and when he was about to make a decision, he found an old man standing in a corner with no waves in the ancient well, but his face did not have the slightest expression.
Cao Cao's heart sank suddenly, and he couldn't help but say: "Wenhe, what do you think of the strategy offered by Zijing just now?" ”
The words settled, and although he was unhappy in his heart, he still smiled and asked.
As soon as the words came out, the ears were directed at himself, and at this moment, the seventy-year-old man with a white beard and white sideburns was still full of red light on his face, obviously very well maintained, and his whole body did not have a rickety demeanor.
Immediately, Jia Xu slowly came out and bowed: "King Wei!" ”
Since he returned to Shun with Zhang Xiu in his early years, Jia Xu also knew that Cao Cao was extremely suspicious, so he was also cautious in Cao Ying, and rarely took the initiative to speak.
Jia Xu has been in Cao Ying for more than 20 years, and the only one who took the initiative to offer advice was Cao Cao's southern expedition to Jingzhou, and suggested that he postpone his eastward advance, and when he went west to conquer Ma Chao, Han Sui and other Western Liang coalition forces, he offered a divisive plan, disintegrated the Western Liang Alliance, and helped Cao Cao pacify Guan Liang.
"King Wei, the strategy of holding the Zijing is indeed a good strategy, but it can be tried, but our army is going all out to the north, and this battle is related to whether the morale of our soldiers can reach the peak."
"This battle is extremely critical, our army can only win, not lose!"
After saying that, Jia Xu's face couldn't help but become solemn suddenly, and he said loudly: "Therefore, the king of Wei should not pin the opportunity to win on foreign enemies, or should our army itself control the outcome of the war." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jia Xu's face was calm.
Seeing his expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said, "Wen He has a clever plan?" ”
"I can't talk about a clever plan, but the old minister has a small plan to help King Wei break Hu Kou."
As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly squinted at Jia Xu, and their faces invariably showed a trace of fear.
Jia Xu's strategy, who has not seen the people present?
If it doesn't come out, it must be full of bones.
It is precisely because of this that the name of "poisoner" will spread.
Now, he has a strategy to deal with Xianbei again, and when the ministers think about it at the moment, they all feel that Kebi can estimate that he will suffer again.
Subsequently, since Jia Xu was named, he did not delay, and vigorously explained the strategies he had planned one by one!
After hearing this, all the ministers present couldn't help but smile on their faces, and sighed secretly in their hearts: "If Kebineng comes this time, he will definitely suffer a greater fiasco!" ”
After this strategy and deliberation were revealed, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and then approved it.
………
After the end of the military discussion, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, did not delay, and continued to lead the main force to drive north, marching towards Gaoliu and Macheng, which were close to the defense line of the Great Wall.
However, on the way to the march, he also led a group of generals Zhu Ling to the west and went west to Yanmen County.
Two days later, the mighty Northern Expeditionary Army held high the banner of "Han" in the wind, and dozens of Weizi Wang flags looked around, and stationed in the border Macheng with great force.
Then, Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong to lead a group of Praetorian Guards to the Gaoliu generation to garrison and stick along the Great Wall in response to Macheng.
After the arrangement, Cao Cao personally took charge of Macheng, repairing the dilapidated Great Wall on one hand, and guarding Macheng on the other, waiting for the movements of the Saiwaihu people.
At this moment, it was also when Cao Jun was busy at the border.
Daijun outside the Saiwai.
Danhan Mountain.
In the royal court, on the golden and magnificent throne at this moment, Kebineng, who is over forty years old a year, wearing a Han crown and hat on his head, and wearing a Confucian costume, is sitting cross-legged on the king's seat, discussing the military situation with the patriarchs of various tribes.
Kebineng is another outstanding Khan of Xianbei who has risen after being good at stone acacia.
Originally, after the death of Shi Huai, he was succeeded by his son and Lian, but this person had no ability at all, and he could not deter the patriarchs of the tribes at all during his reign, which eventually led to the defection of the tribes and independence from the rule of the royal court.
Therefore, this also led Helian to eagerly prove his ability and rebuild the powerful Xianbei of the reign of Shi Huai, so he led the army to invade the south.
Merely.
He Lian never returned, and was unfortunately killed by an arrow during the invasion of Northland County.
Since the death of Helian, the strong Xianbei, who was originally good at the unification of Shihuai, has gradually weakened, and the tribes have broken away from the rule of the royal court and chose to stand on their own and monopolize the pastures.
Of course, Kebineng is also a figure, since he took charge of the army, he broke away from the royal court, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to attack each other, and the Han people had no time to care about border defense, led the army across the Great Wall defense line into the interior, plundered the Han people, and looted cattle, sheep, grain and other materials.
also due to the successive plunder, Kebi can also greatly increase his prestige in Xianbei.
In just a few years, he unified the Saiwai lands outside Shanggu and Daijun, and integrated the tribes that had stood on their own, so that the originally weakened Xianbei had the potential to resurge!
After more than ten years of development, Kebineng also vigorously expanded its armaments, formed a strong iron cavalry, and marched to the east and the north, dividing and disintegrating the independent tribes again, making the eastern Xianbei Suli and Mica and Que Ji afraid of their soldiers and had to declare their submission.
Now, after Kebi can break away from the royal court, his strength has now won the first place in the central Xianbei, surpassing the original strength of the extremely strong step root department.
At this moment, the Kebineng Department is also located in Daijun, Shanggu, and Yuyang, and the north of the right is equally outside the north, and there are more than 100,000 people under his command.
The key is that Kebi can enter the Central Plains since he was a child, and he admires Han culture very much, so after he integrated various tribes, he also vigorously promoted the reform of sinicization in the territory.
Distribute the plundered Han people, let them teach Xianbei God to talk about sinicization, sew Hanfu, and the most important thing is to teach farming.
Because Kebi was able to take the lead, he spoke Chinese himself, imitating the royal clothes of the Han kings to make crowns and royal clothes.
With the compulsory reform of Kebineng, the results have been extremely obvious in the past few years!
Many tribes have basically mastered the way of farming.
Of course, no reform can be smooth sailing, bloodshed is a certainty!
It's just that Kebi can only use one word to implement the rebellious tribes.
That's, kill!
Rebels, send troops to quell the rebellion.
This is also the key factor that Sinicization can achieve initial results.。
This is also Xianbei's gradual trend of revival since he was good at Shihuai, and Kebineng has gradually become a big problem in the Han frontier.
Cao Cao, the king of Wei, needed to send Xianbei lieutenants almost every year to send troops to defend the border defense line, so as to prevent the Hu people from attacking the frontier and causing instability under his rule.
This time, the reason why Cao Cao decided to go north was not only to achieve a great victory to boost the morale of the army, but also to completely defeat the remnants of Kebineng's department.
In fact, Kebineng is ambitious, and always has the idea of entering the Central Plains.
"Report!"
Just said that just when Kebineng was talking about the key place with the patriarchs, the tall guards outside the royal court couldn't help but suddenly gallop forward with their blades hanging on their waists, and then knelt on the ground and clenched their fists and roared.
"What?"
Hearing this, Kebineng's words were interrupted, and he couldn't help but speak poorly and drank coldly.
After hearing this, the guards immediately panicked, and hurriedly announced: "Qi Great Khan, according to our sentry group patrolling the border of Youji, we have obtained key information. ”
"Cao Cao, the king of Wei in the Central Plains, led about 200,000 troops to the north, and has recently stationed in Macheng, Gaoliu and other border cities to guard the defense line of the Great Wall."
"Listening to the report of the sentry cavalry, the Han army must want to attack our army."
As soon as the words fell, the guards did not linger for long, and after bowing and saluting, they withdrew straight out of the royal court.
Immediately after, after hearing the news, several patriarchs who had just discussed the military situation couldn't help but shout loudly: "Great Khan, the Han army is beyond its means, and our army has not taken the initiative to invade the Central Plains, so they took the initiative to rush to the north to send them to death!" ”
"Great Han, I will ask for help, and please mobilize the whole army of iron cavalry, go to the border of the Han people, destroy the main force of the Han army in one fell swoop, and then enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, seize the world, and rob the Han women and the unlimited wealth of the Han people."
It was only said that for a while, as the news of Cao Cao's attack spread throughout the royal court, the patriarchs of all the tribes couldn't help but be overjoyed, laughing loudly, and even their eyes were faintly red.
They were intrigued!
The wealth of the Han people is always on their minds.
After that, a member of the extremely burly, nine-foot-tall prime-aged patriarch couldn't help but stand up suddenly, arching his hands and shouting: "Great Khan, since the Han thief took the initiative to attack, I Da Xianbei must not sit still and ignore it!" ”
"I also ask the Great Khan to order the whole army of all departments to be gathered, kill Xiangdaijun, exterminate the Han thieves, enter the hinterland of the Han people, and loot the Central Plains."
"Our department is willing to be a pioneer!"
After a moment's breath, one or two strong Han chiefs were even more excited, their eyes revealing a red look, and they shouted to fight.
The sound of the battle is endless!
However, Khan Kebineng did not immediately agree.
At this time, after hearing the news that the Han army took the initiative to attack, he couldn't help but get up slowly, slowly walked to the exit of the royal court, lifted the curtain, ran outside, his eyes moved slightly, and he slowly looked at the endless grassland, his eyebrows were extremely worried, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As for this moment, the patriarchs of the various tribes also showed doubts, and then they also rushed out of the royal court together.
"The Han army is coming?"
"What is Cao Cao trying to do?"
At this moment, Kebineng's mind surged and he thought secretly.
Because he had inhabited the inland of the Central Plains in his early years, he knew that the Han people advocated intrigue and intrigue and calculated with each other.
Two years ago, he still remembers the battle outside the Saiwai vividly!
In that battle, he used his elite cavalry to guide the frontier, but Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang abandoned his foot soldiers and led 3,000 Youyan soldiers from his headquarters to meet the battle alone.
But the truth is completely unexpected, Cao Zhangyong won the three armies, and the thousands of Youyan soldiers under his command are even elite knights, and the people under his command are unstoppable!
In the end, he was chiseled through the formation, and he had no choice but to abandon cattle and sheep and other materials, and left in a panic.
Since the integration of the various tribes, Kebineng has also infiltrated the Central Plains at all times to spy on news.
He naturally knew that Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was a person whose ability could not be underestimated, and with his outstanding ability, he defeated the strong with the weak and pacified the entire north.
Therefore, he heard at this moment that Cao Cao personally led the momentum of the Son of Heaven to send a large army to the north, but he did not dare to act rashly, for fear that he would be defeated again by mistake.
"Great Khan, what are you waiting for?"
"Our army's iron cavalry is invincible, how can it be compared to a two-legged braveless man?"
"As long as more than 100,000 of our knights are dispatched, the Kouluo frontier will be able to win a battle, completely defeat the Han thieves, and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains."
"At that time, the rich Central Plains will be at our mercy, so why not do it?"
Suddenly, the patriarchs from the side saw that Kebi could change the normal state of being resolute and resolute in the past, and at this time they hesitated and hesitated, and couldn't help but admonish one after another.
The voice of the seat fell.
Kebi Neng groaned for a while, and then suddenly turned around to look at the crowd, and said calmly: "Everyone, you haven't studied Cao Cao carefully. ”
"This person was originally just a son of an official eunuch, but he was scheming and eloquent, from the beginning of a mere Taijie Taishou defeated the strong with the weak, and finally broke Yuan Shao, the most powerful in the Central Plains, and won the north."
"Now that this person is personally leading the crowd to attack, we must not be careless, maybe this is the trap set by the Han army and deliberately luring our army to go, and then take the opportunity to gather and annihilate it!"
"Based on this, we can't afford to take precautions!"
As soon as the words fell, Kebineng's face couldn't help but become more and more worried, and his mind was surging and he kept thinking about how to deal with it.
"How should we deal with the attack of the Han army?"
For a moment, Kobi could mumble to himself.
"Report."
"Qi Qi Great Khan, Shanggu is in an urgent situation......"
Just as Kebi was thinking, a sentinel from afar came on horseback, and then quickly dismounted and galloped eagerly, and then panted and shouted.
