Chapter 623: Sluggish Exhaustion
Liaoxi, the place where Wuhuan lived.
At this time, he was in full swing preparing to resist Zhou Yu's attack.
He is not that fool of Helian, after the defeat of Wolf Juxu, after he fled back to his hometown in Liaoxi, he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter of surrender to Gongsun Zhan, with a sincere attitude, and let Gongsun Chan put forward conditions. and personally led the troops to accompany Gongsun Chan to fight and eliminate Xianbei, which is simply treating himself as a dog of Gongsun Chan wholeheartedly.
Although Gongsun Chan was extremely disdainful of this kind of licking his face, not fighting back, and not scolding back, he couldn't do anything to him, so he could only accept the situation with disgust. After all, he was still busy preparing to fight against Yuan Shao at that time, so he couldn't really wait for all the three major alien races in the north to be wiped out before going south, and then the daylily would be cold.
Naturally, he was not willing to surrender, but was temporarily dormant, waiting for an opportunity. Unlike ordinary aliens, he is extremely ambitious, and in order to invade the Han in the south in the future, he has a deep understanding of the intelligence of the Han. Compared with the black eyes of the Southern Xiongnu, he still has a little understanding of the current situation in the world. At least after analyzing and speculating, he got the result that he couldn't believe at all, but it made sense.
Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought, and Yuan Shao's victory rate was greater.
This conclusion is very simple in the eyes of the princes of the world, but in the eyes of the alien races living in the shadow of Gongsun Zhan, it is so incredible.
Such a powerful Gongsun Zan can't even defeat Yuan Shao?
You must know that once they Wuhuan, Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu were the existence of the entire Han Dynasty that had to have a headache, and for hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty had no choice but to get them, so they could only blindly defend. However, Gongsun Chan completely defeated them with the power of a single state, and even wiped out the Xianbei clan. In their hearts, Gongsun Chan was the most terrifying, how could such a powerful person be defeated by Yuan Benchu?
In the midst of this, there is a mistake in comparison, and it is not possible to judge the high and low combat forces by relying solely on horizontal comparison. Just like the ranking of the generals of the Three Kingdoms, no matter how the ranking is, there will always be people who will not be convinced, and if they don't really fight one-on-one, who can really say that this one is stronger than the other? Could it be that they are fighting against the same general? Zhang He and Xu Huang's records as the standard of combat power have many contradictions.
Yuan Shao was able to defeat Gongsun Zhan, but Yuan Shao couldn't help Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu. Gongsun Zhan was able to completely subdue the three alien races in the north, but he couldn't defeat Yuan Shao.
In the end, I made Badon wait.
Gongsun Chan was defeated, and the defeated had no power to fight back, and the defeated could only protect themselves.
Wuhuan has now completely broken free from its clutches, and it can be said that the sky is high and the birds are flying. After Xianbei was destroyed, the endless grassland that was vacated soon became theirs.
But it's a pity! This is just their fantasy, as soon as Gongsun Chan was defeated, Yuan Shu took action.
As early as when Zhou Yu and the others attacked Liaodong, he felt a faint feeling in his heart, but he still had a trace of happiness in his heart. In the end, he was disappointed.
"Shan Yu, Yuan's army has already moved troops to me from Liaodong and is heading straight for my Liucheng."
"It's still here. How many centaurs did they come? Where did it come from? He said with a gloomy face.
"There were about twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, but they were all fine horses. Coming directly from Liaodong all the way to the west, it is expected to reach the vicinity of Changli soon. Su Fuyan said in a deep voice.
"What? We have arrived in Changli! How did you find out? Didn't you let you patrol closely? How did you not find out until now? Badun shouted angrily.
You must know that Changli is less than two hundred miles away from Liucheng, and the other party has already broken into his heart.
"The other party has one man and three horses, and the marching speed is extremely fast. The patrol of my clan has rushed back as soon as possible, and it is good that it can be delivered now. Su Fuyan also said with some grievances.
Liaodong is surrounded by many mountains, the terrain is steep, but after going out of Liaoxi, there can be more grassland flatlands near Changli, and a horse is flat. is also a cavalry, and it is naturally difficult for him to catch up with the opponent's rapid march.
"Don't panic, although Changli is only two hundred miles away from my Liucheng, but if it is late today, the cavalry will not be able to march quickly at night, and the other party will not be able to reach it today anyway, it is estimated that it will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest, and we still have a lot of time to arrange." Wu Yan hurriedly comforted.
"What's more, the other party is only 20,000 horsemen, and there are still 20,000 clansmen in my Liucheng, plus the strong city is blocked, the other party should not be able to help us." Nanlou also said.
"The 20,000 cavalry is helpless for me Liucheng, but what if the other party sends reinforcements again? The number of Chu troops in Liaodong is no less than 50,000! Badon frowned.
"Shan Yu, we are probably inferior to the Chu army in the cavalry field, if we are so deadlocked, waiting for the other party's reinforcements to arrive, we have only a dead end. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to order all the clansmen who can fight in all parts of the country to gather in Liucheng and defend the city. After the army from the south returns to the north, it can fight with the other side. Su Fuyan admonished.
The inside of Wuhuan can be said to be extremely empty. Wolf Juxu suffered a crushing defeat in the first battle and suffered heavy losses. Previously, Gongsun Zhan requisitioned more than 30,000 elites to attack Yuan Shao, and he has not yet returned, and now there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people in the clan who can fight.
"There's some truth to what you're saying. How many days will it take for the southbound people to return? He nodded and said. Although Su Muyan is a little weak and incompetent, I have to say that his words are old and serious, and they are very in line with his thoughts.
The original battle of Wolf Juxu can be said to have almost scared the courage of Bundun. Not to mention Zhao Yun's pursuit, Zhang Liao descended to earth that day, and the soldiers under his command almost didn't lose their eyeballs with a ten-point and unstoppable appearance. Not to mention that now he only has more than 20,000 soldiers in his hands, even if he still has 100,000 troops in his hands, he is also a little worried. The current Chu army is almost as terrifying as Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Iron Cavalry in the heart of Badun.
"Judging from the previous message, it should be another ten days. After all, they still need to make a detour and annex the state, but if they just rush it, they should be able to get there within seven days. Uyan said.
"Well, let them hurry. Now our Wuhuan is at a time when its combat strength is declining, and we need to recuperate for a few years before we can recover. After the attack of the Yuan army, we moved west to avoid them. Anyway, now that Xianbei has been wiped out and the grasslands have been vacated, our people don't have to worry about herding cattle and horses and surviving. Badon said tiredly.
To be honest, he has lost all his ambitions during this time, and now he only hopes to take his people to recuperate for a few more decades, and then consider going south when he grows stronger.
Because the current situation of the Han is too puzzling. It's obviously split, and the inside is a pot of porridge, constantly consuming combat power, but it gives him a feeling that he is getting stronger and stronger.
Think about the time when the Han Dynasty was still unified, their lives were still delicious, although they lived under the oppression of Xianbei, they could go south and plunder wantonly. Although the Han at that time was strong, he rarely fought back, and was mostly defensive.
And now? After the division of these Han Dynasty, the situation was directly reversed, and these divided princes were like wolves, treating him as a prey, and they were about to invade and exterminate the clan at every turn. It was not easy to get rid of Gongsun Chan before, but now Yuan Shu's side immediately called again.
Badon is really tired now. He didn't understand why the situation had become like this, if it continued like this, he was really worried that Wuhuan would be wiped out like Xianbei, so he should avoid it for the time being. After the Han is unified again, he will take a look.
