Chapter 384: Temporary Calm
After returning to Liucheng, he learned about the actions of the Han army during this period from Wuyan's mouth, and his heart sank.
"It seems that my Liaoxi has become a land of right and wrong! Fortunately, I was a little cautious before, otherwise it would be really difficult to guarantee what would have happened. ”
"Shan Yu, why don't we run! Staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, now Gongsun Chan has won a big victory, Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu are no longer able to resist, although we are far away, but it will be our turn soon. We can't just sit back and wait, why don't we take advantage of Gongsun Zhan's being held back by Xianbei and retreat to the Western Regions? Su Fuyan suggested.
During this period of time, Su Muyan's courage has been frightened by successive defeats. I am afraid that Gongsun Chan will unite with Yuan Shu next, then they will really have no way to escape.
He closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, but did not answer. The leaders of the following tribes also looked at Bang Dun with a blank eye, and the failure of the decisive battle with Gongsun Chan made them realize how dangerous their situation was now, and they could only hope for Bang Dun.
"At present, does Gongsun Chan have any troops against us in Liaoxi?" After carefully considering the current situation, a light flashed in his mind, and he opened his eyes and said.
Uyan replied, "No." According to the information obtained by the spies, Gongsun Zhan's army has been hovering around the area north of Shanggu County, fighting against the forces of Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, but they have not paid any attention to us. ”
The corners of his mouth hooked, and sure enough!
"Shan Yu, this must be the old thief Gongsun who wants to cut off our back road first, temporarily paralyze us, and intend to encircle and annihilate us with the cavalry of Jiangdong, so we have to guard against it!" Su Muyan looked like I had seen through everything, and the other leaders also nodded in agreement.
He sighed slightly in his heart, this is his biggest flaw, and it is difficult for a foreign race to produce a wise man. The cultural background is too shallow, it is still possible to produce some fierce generals, and it is too difficult to produce a strategist. Every time I encounter such a dangerous situation, I don't even have someone to make an idea.
However, after all, Badon is the hero of the party, and he quickly recovers from his loss. Over the years, he has relied on himself to develop and grow Wuhuan under the eyes of the powerful Xianbei, and once developed Wuhuan to the point where it is almost comparable to Xianbei today. He was accustomed to it, and that was why the tribal leaders were convinced.
"Did you notice anything unusual about Gongsun Chan in the previous battle?" Badon said.
The leader below thought about it carefully, and looked at Badun with a blank face: "I don't know, I still hope to show you." ”
"If it's a normal situation, what do you think Gongsun Chan will do if we withdraw our troops?"
"It's definitely in hot pursuit!" Su Fuyan said without thinking. Gongsun Zhan is known for his retributive personality, and every time he fights, he goes after them frantically.
"Not bad. But this time, Gongsun Chan didn't have the slightest intention of chasing after us, which was not his usual style. "I was in a panic before, so I didn't think about it, but now I think about it, it's really a lot of doubts.
"Maybe it's because he's entangled? At that time, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Xianbei troops! ”
"No way. You also know the situation at that time, after Helian ran away, the Xianbei army was already a rout, and it was impossible for Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yi to be entangled by these routs. Badon affirmed.
"I, Wuhuan Shan Yu, is a thorn in Gongsun Zhan's eyes and a thorn in his flesh, not comparable to that waste. Gongsun Chan didn't chase and Lian, even I didn't move, which is completely inconsistent with his character. ”
Wu Yan said uncertainly: "What does Shan Yu mean that Gongsun Chan has the intention to let us go?" ”
"It must be so!" Bang Dun affirmed: "If you think about it, it was the 10,000-strong cavalry that pursued us at that time, judging by their outfits and the weakness of their horses, it was obviously Jiangdong's cavalry. Gongsun Chan didn't even send out a large army, if he didn't have the intention, how could it be? ”
"Why did Gongsun Chan deliberately let us go?" Su Fuyan was puzzled: "His attitude towards us has always been to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no trouble!" ”
"There is only one possibility for Gongsun Chan to do this, and that is that he needs our presence, because we have lost the threat for the time being, and he needs us to contain one of the forces."
"Containment? Could it be Xianbei? ”
Bun Dun looked disdainful: "Just what Lian did with that waste Shan Yu, the next Xianbei is not bad if he doesn't kill each other, where do we need to contain it?" It was Koto that he kept us contained. ”
"How is that possible? Didn't Koto just help them achieve victory? And it is said that Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu have a good relationship, and the two sides have reached an alliance. Su Fuyan said incredulously.
"How can there be an alliance between the Han people? Now that Dahan is already a mess of porridge, who knows what is dirty between them? Dumb said.
"Although we are defeated, as long as Gongsun Chan does not target us, it will be fine. Don't easily seize Liaoxi from us with the strength of Jiangdong alone, and wait until Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zhan, this northern grassland is still the world we are waiting for. A new ambition ignited in his heart.
Both Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu were hit hard, and relatively speaking, their Wuhuan losses were not large. If Gongsun Chan is defeated, maybe he will be able to lead Wuhuan to regain his strength. Without Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, they Wuhuan would be able to dominate the family, and it would be okay to surpass Xianbei at its peak.
If you don't get it right, this failure is a big opportunity!
"Yuan Shao and our alliance, he promised to send troops but there was no movement at all, can he defeat Gongsun Zhan? Aren't you scared? Su Fuyan said.
"Yuan Shao is not an easy person, he will not necessarily lose to Gongsun Zhan. At that time, even if Yuan Shao loses, we will have a chance to fight, which is better than going away to the Western Regions. Badon said.
"We are all at the mercy of orders." The leaders below were slowly persuaded by Bunton that they were reluctant to leave their homeland and flee to the Western Regions. With so many clansmen under his command, the devil knows how many people will die on the road, and if there is a place to live there.
......
After Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun joined Zhang Liao, they quickly rushed to the southwest of Liaoning. At the same time, Jiangdong Yuan Shu also got the battle situation in the north.
"It's a bit of a trouble if you don't die!" Yuan Shu said with some annoyance.
"My lord, the relationship between Badun and Yuan Shao is good, and they will definitely be friends and foes with us in the future. But since this is the case, the lord should first plan Liaodong to settle down, and then seek the affairs of Liaoxi. Jia Xu said.
"But Liaoxi has always been a roadblock in front of us, but we can't ignore it. If we don't get rid of it, it will be almost impossible for us to show our strength in the northern grasslands. Guo Jia said.
"Hmm." Yuan Shu nodded: "Let's not mention these for the time being, since it is difficult to take Liaoxi for a while, let Wenyuan and them withdraw to Yingzhou to rest first." ”
"Lord, Gongsun Chan also lost a lot in this battle, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to mobilize troops within half a year, and the north will not be able to fight for the time being. Now that we can take our attention back, the Kanto region is now ripe, and while everyone is focused on the north, it is time for us to make a move. Jia Xu said with a smile.
