Chapter 393: The World is in Turmoil
The first year of Jingsui of the Han Dynasty (220).
This year is destined to be an extraordinary year.
The first day of August.
West to the Yumen Pass, east to the land of Youyan, the flames of war ignited all around, all sides fought fiercely.
Not only the war broke out in the Central Plains, but also on the grassland outside the Saiwai.
And the forces involved are also numerous, almost countless, there are the Qiang tribes in Longyou to participate in it, and there are also the Di tribes in Hexi to take the opportunity to conquer each other to annex each other and expand their strength.
Relying on the line of the Great Wall, Daijun first broke out in the war, and the coalition army composed of various tribes of the steppe attacked, and the momentum was huge, and about 50,000 or 60,000 people attacked the weak points of the Great Wall.
However, Cao's army had already been prepared, and Cao Hong, under Cao Xiu's staff, personally sat in the important town of Gaoliucheng, forming a tug-of-war with the Hu people along the line.
Merely.
Although the Hu people were powerful, they were not good at attacking fortifications and lacked heavy siege weapons, and the passes of various important towns were also repaired by the Cao army in the past month or two.
Now the Great Wall is also as solid as a rock, and the Hu people can't compete in a short time!
On the other side, in the pure and elegant Yanshan Mountains, a war horse with a crotch galloped like a wind, and if you look closely, it is tens of thousands of Hu people who are ready to go.
As for the commander of the whole army, it was the Great Khan of Dongxian Bei who could live in the middle of the formation, wearing golden armor, and hanging an extremely delicate and dazzling saber at his waist, and a strong momentum instantly emanated the whole army, so it was not majestic.
During the march, one of the elders under the royal court's close staff, a middle-aged man, couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he said: "Great Khan, you have pursued the Han Cao Zhang's subordinate in Dai County with the combined forces of various tribes, and attacked various passes along the Great Wall. ”
"Why don't we join forces to break through the Great Wall and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains in order to seize the Central Plains?"
The land of the Central Plains is a rich land for the Saiwaihu people, and it is extremely attractive.
Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, once the Central Plains Dynasty was weakened, the nomadic peoples outside the Saiwai would inevitably move against the wind and take advantage of the chaos to encroach on the Han land in order to achieve the great cause of eventually sweeping the world.
"Into the Central Plains? Is there any benefit to Ben Khan? ”
"If the Central Plains is really broken, I'm afraid that it is more likely that more than 100,000 of my people will be gathered and annihilated by the Cao army, right?"
After a while, his face showed a cold face, and he said coldly: "The tribal patriarchs of the tribes have been greatly damaged by the raiding of the knights under Cao Zhang's command this time, and they have begun to be dissatisfied with Ben Khan in their hearts. ”
"If Ben Khan really led his people to attack the Central Plains from the front, they would surely rise up and plunder everywhere under their covetous wealth of the Central Plains, and how many people would obey Ben Khan's dispatch at that time?"
When the words fell, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "In this case, it is better to let the Cao army consume their strength, and the Khan of the grassland will be able to control it more easily in the future." ”
"And the Yanshan Mountain Range that our army is marching now, once it passes the Xifeng Pass not far ahead, it can go straight to the hinterland of Youzhou, and at that time, the main forces of the Cao army are all gathered on the front line of Daijun, and under the emptiness in the rear, won't we let our iron cavalry gallop across the country?"
"How can such a good thing be shared with those people who eat inside and outside?"
After a few words, Kobineng roughly described the plan, but he did not disclose the core plan.
That is, there was an attempt to get rid of some of the tribal chiefs along the Daijun by the hands of Cao Jun.
This can't be said, even if they are cronies again, they will inevitably be estranged, and there will be a possibility of falling apart in the future.
A line of Xianbei iron horses, running away from the sorrowful day.
For two days, they arrived at the mouth of Xifeng.
And just when Kebi was ready to lead the crowd to quickly break through the valley, at this moment, the soldiers of Cao, who had already been hidden in various parts of the mountain peak, suddenly waved their flags and shouted.
On the surrounding peaks, there were sergeants in battle armor, as if they had surrounded the Xianbei knights.
After a while, Cao Cao was dressed in a dragon-patterned royal robe, a red cloak, and a mane on his crotch and body like a black shadow.
Cao Cao struck a horsewhip, took a few steps forward, looked at the valley mouth below, and with a smile on his face, his body was even more majestic for a while, and laughed: "Haha! Kebi can be a child, do you want to take the opportunity to attack my Youzhou? ”
One word landed.
Kebi Neng below was silent, and then couldn't help but have a frightened look in his heart, and said secretly: "Taking the opportunity to capture the top secret of such a military plane in the land of Youyan is my painstaking plan, and I haven't even told my cronies directly, how did Cao Cao know and lead the army to ambush?" ”
"I'm afraid that Cao Ying really has a master who is calculating the world!"
Thinking about it, he was even more uneasy at this time, and he was afraid that Cao Cao could deduce his plan behind him.
But in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Kebi could hear these words, and he still had a smile on his face, his face was full of confidence and he laughed loudly: "Haha! King Wei, you really have no last resort, and you have set up an ambush here in advance, Ben Khan admires. ”
"But since Ben Khan has such a top-secret plan, will he not be prepared in the slightest?"
"King Wei is too underestimated Ben Khan."
With a word, with Kebineng's calm response, the Xianbei knight, who was originally a little flustered and relaxed, gradually stabilized the army's heart.
Above, looking at Kebi Neng's calm and calm response, Cao Cao couldn't help but stretch out his head and whispered to the people beside him: "This person is worthy of being the pride of the sky, although he is in a crisis, he can still be calm, no wonder he can use the development of weak soldiers to suppress the root of the step and fight against it." ”
After a sigh, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile at Jia Xu and said: "Suo Xingwenhe has already prepared for Gu in advance, otherwise I am afraid that this time I will really suffer from Ke Bineng's way." ”
Hearing this, Jia Xu's face was calm, and he was speechless, as if everything was under control.
During the conversation, Kebineng had already organized all the knights to concentrate on a little to counterattack at Xifengkou, intending to take Cao Cao directly and break through from the middle into the hinterland of Youzhou.
Suddenly, the arrows rained down, and the arrows shot in condescendingly, how terrifying the impact was, how could a Xianbei knight meat drive resist the sharp arrows?
"Ahh
The sound of tearing and screaming was accompanied by the fighting between the battle arrays.
But just when the Xianbei knights were attacking, the Cao army on the mountain peak suddenly changed.
"Woo woo woo" the beastly roar roared.
In the next second, the wolves, golden leopards and other poisonous insects and beasts who were locked in the cage were heartbroken, and the moment the cage was opened, they suddenly rushed into the Xianbei knights who rushed to the foot of the mountain.
"Beasts?"
"Wolves?"
"Ahh
The speed of the beasts was not fast, and in a short time, they invaded the Xianbei knights' array, countless knights were bitten, and even more seriously, many war horses were already frightened by the beasts, and they began to run wildly regardless of the knights' commands.
For a while, the originally mighty and fierce knight was like thunder, but at this moment, he was caught off guard by the beast that suddenly appeared.
The war horses lost their voices, galloped wildly, and the formation was in chaos.
And the Cao soldier above also continued to shoot arrows directly, rolling wood and stones to throw down, under such a rapid attack, whether it was a Xianbei knight or a poisonous insect beast, they were all lost here!
"Damn! Damn the Han Chinese. ”
At this moment, Kebi could see this, his face was hideous, he didn't expect that Cao Jun would have such a vicious poisonous strategy to capture fierce beasts to disrupt his knight formation.
But anger turned into anger, and the next second he had to shout loudly: "Quickly release poisonous smoke, disperse the wolves, and disperse the beasts." ”
There was a roar, and packets of poisonous smoke rose into the sky.
Countless wolves and beasts were poisoned and smoked, and their bodies suddenly fell weakly, and there was no room for any counterattack.
As for the remaining beasts, they were also frightened at this time, and fled into the mountains and forests.
Merely.
Although the momentum of the beast has been easily resolved, the formation of the Xianbei knights has long been disintegrated, and at this moment, in the main formation of the Cao army, Cao Cao raised his sword high and shouted angrily: "Soldiers, kill, kill Hu Kou." ”
"Kill wantonly, so that Hu Kou will not dare to abuse my Central Plains border for generations."
With an angry shout, all the troops of the Cao army obeyed the order one after another, and surrounded them from all directions, without giving the Xianbei knights any chance to react.
The knight has lost his due mobility and impact strength, and how can he be the opponent of the elite Cao army?
After a fight, the soldiers of Cao even became more and more courageous, and the Xianbei knights became more and more difficult to resist.
After most of the ring.
Several embarrassed Xianbei knights suddenly rushed into the formation to find Kebineng, who was covered in blood, and eagerly said: "Qiqi Great Khan, you asked me to bypass Xifengkou and lead the crowd from Liaoxi County to Youzhou, but our army had just arrived at White Wolf Mountain and encountered the Cao army knights. ”
"The commander of his Cao army is Cao Zhang, the knights under his command are all strong, and he is even more brave, after the commander was beheaded by him alone, our army was unable to resist and was defeated."
"Now Cao Zhang's department has been slaughtered here, and the Great Khan is invited to break through quickly!"
A voice fell, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, knocking Kebineng down, he stroked his somewhat heavy head, full of compassion: "Why is this? ”
"Who is this person, and how can he calculate my every move?"
At this moment, Kebineng really burst into tears and collapsed a little.
From the fact that he used the tribal alliance as bait, he himself led the main force to raid Xifengkou, and sent the partial army to attack from another way, but without exception, the enemy saw through it and made a targeted strategy.
How can this be fought?
But the matter has come to this point, and now there is no room for thinking, his own side has now fallen behind, and Cao Zhang led the crowd to attack, Ke Bineng will continue to fight with it, and hurriedly issued an order to break through.
No matter how you say it, the Xianbei knight is also the elite of the royal court, although it has suffered an accident, but the Cao army is powerless to stop it under the breakthrough, and finally Kebineng led the remnants of more than 10,000 people to flee north to the grassland.
Cao Zhang was a step late after all, and he didn't stop Kebineng.
In the first battle of Xifengkou, Cao's army won a great victory, annihilating more than 30,000 Xianbei horsemen, and the Xianbei Khan Kebineng fled north in embarrassment.
At this moment, Cao Cao stood proudly on the top of the mountain, looking at the layers of corpses below, and couldn't help but feel: "If the lonely Shensu General is still here, this battle will not let Ke Bineng escape and return to the north." ”
In a word, Cao Cao's thoughts about Xiahou Yuan were endless.
After a great victory, Cao's army returned to the Daijun line with a great victory, and the tribal patriarch who was storming the passes was terrified when he heard that Kebineng had suffered such a great defeat.
Immediately after, the tribal alliance fell apart, and the chiefs of the tribes led their headquarters into the grassland.
After this battle, the prestige of Kebineng was completely lost, and the grassland tribes broke away from the royal court and stood on their own, and even the eastern Buyeo tribes also broke away from the Xianbei royal court.
After separating from the royal court, during this period, the Xianbei Tuoba and Murong tribes began to gradually encroach on or annex the surrounding tribes.
And at the critical moment, Bu Dugen, who was moved by the move, saw that Kebi could break the opportunity, and immediately dispatched troops with the intention of killing into the territory of Dongxianbei, but at the critical moment, he led the crowd to invade.
Budugen was helpless, so he had to raise troops to block it!
For a time, the grassland once again fell into a turbulent melee.
………
The wars in Liangzhou.
Just when the war in northern Xinjiang was in full swing, the situation in Hexi also suddenly reversed.
With the alliance of the Han army with the Hexi Di tribes such as Oh He and Shao Ge, the two led the crowd to rely on their familiar geographical advantages to deal with the Burning Dangqiang, while Guan Ping also took the opportunity to raid the Burning Dangqiang tribe.
For this, the chief of Burndang was suddenly shocked and hurriedly sent troops back to help, but who knew that Guan Ping's move was a false move, but in fact, the spearhead was directly aimed at Guo Huai's department.
After a surprise attack, Cao's strength lost a lot.
If it weren't for Guo Huai's timely response, he would have been spared by leading the crowd to retreat into the old Zang City in advance!
After the Han army defeated Guo Huai, the chief of Yaodang was even more annoyed that he was being played by Guan Ping, and sent troops to kill Guan Ping with the intention of destroying him.
But at this time, Oh He and Burn Ge took the opportunity to lead the elite to attack the Burndang tribe and carried out a major cleansing of the tribe.
With the destruction of the Burning Dang tribe, the morale of the Burning Qiang army was lost, and then they were defeated in Zhangye County under the attack of the Diren tribe and Guan Ping.
The chieftain of Burndang was also killed in this battle.
After this battle, Guan Ping successfully established the situation in Hexi, and Guo Huai could no longer implement his plan after this defeat, so he had to lead the people back to join the main force.
Hexi counties Dading.
At this time, Guan Ping also knew that whether the situation in Hexi was stable or not needed the full help of Oh He and Yao Ge, so he promised that when the two of them returned to Chengdu, they would definitely play the plan of Hanzhong Wang Feng and the two to lead the military of Hexi and attack the Western Regions.
As for the battle of Longxi, it also fell into a stalemate at this time.
With Yang Wan's impeccable defensive measures, although the Qiang coalition forces and the Cao army have been targeting, they still have no chance to take advantage of it.
The situation in the world has also fallen into chaos.
……
Cheonsu-gun.
On the outskirts of Jicheng.
At this time, Jiang Wei, who returned to his hometown with his mother, heard about Guan Ping's general feat in Hexi, and he couldn't help but suddenly boil with enthusiasm, and said loudly: "The husband should be like this!" ”
As soon as he said that, he couldn't help but think of his strategy and ambition to make a name for himself, but he was deducted from his military exploits by Shangguan, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
This is also the reason why he recently returned to his hometown with his mother.
