Chapter 355: Planning

Originally, the generals were still worried about what they couldn't beat, but when they heard Deng Qiang's words, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. But soon, green light appeared in each of their eyes! "That's right! That's right! It would be nice if we could snatch these horses! Although we have a military horse farm, there are still too few war horses, and now we don't have many cavalry in the Huashan Army! ”

"That's right! Let's fight the Huns this time, isn't it just a loss of no war horses! If we also had a strong cavalry, what were we still doing here, we would have ridden and killed them a long time ago! ”

"We have to find a way to kill the enemy and snatch the horses. During the war, we must tell our brothers that we only kill people and don't hurt horses, those are our things, and they are very precious! ”

......

A good military meeting was led astray by Deng Qiang's words. However, seeing this scene, Deng Qiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"What a soldier! If Fu Qin had such a soldier at the beginning, where would he have been defeated by the Huashan army? Look at these people, facing several times the number of cavalry, but there is no fear at all, but they are excited to snatch their war horses, who will believe it! Fu Qin was wiped out at the hands of the Huashan Army, and he was really not wronged! To be able to lead such a general, I Deng Qiang is worth it! ”

After sighing for a while, he said: "Don't fight, everyone, the war horse will definitely be snatched over." However, we still have to think about how to defeat each other with the least loss! ”

"Your Excellency, didn't the general order General Shao to join us inside and outside? Why don't we figure it out from here? For example, send someone to Luguan to deliver a message, let him go out of the customs first, and then we will kill from the north, as if in Yong'an? Hearing this, everyone remembered to get down to business, and one of the lieutenants proposed.

"No, although General Shao has more soldiers and horses than us, don't forget, they are also foot soldiers! Moreover, the other party has been guarding the city for so many days, and I am afraid that he is also very tired. If they are allowed to go out of the city, they will face the Hun cavalry head-on, and they are afraid of heavy casualties! As soon as this proposal came out, someone immediately retorted.

"Yes, they are all Huashan Army brothers, we can't let others die! Think again! This was agreed by most people, Deng Qiang gestured.

"General, I have a plan, and I don't know if it's feasible!" Everyone pondered for a while, and one of the lieutenants suddenly said.

"Oh, tell me about it!" Deng Qiang hurriedly said.

"Your Excellency, although this straight road is flat and wide, the place it passes through is after all a place where mountains and ravines are crisscrossed. In order to build this straight road, it was directly cut through the mountains and valleys, passing through the mountains. Therefore, on both sides of the straight road now, there are actually mountains and forests. We might as well ambush in the mountains and forests north of Luguan, wait for the Huns to return, and suddenly launch an attack to block their way forward and retreat! We don't go down the mountain, we just shoot arrows down from the mountain and kill the enemy! In this way, you can protect the war horse to the greatest extent! The lieutenant pondered for a moment and said.

"Well, that's a good idea. If you just pick a suitable place and block the road, you can do this. It's just that there is a problem, how could the Xiongnu give up attacking Luguan and go north? Hearing this idea, Deng Qiang couldn't help but think about it, and then said.

"Actually, this is also very simple, after we are ready, it is convenient for a fire to be lit in a no-man's land in the north, so that the smoke and dust are full enough for the Huns outside the pass to see. As soon as they saw the smoke rising from the direction of the grassland, they must have been suspicious! In this case, even if the army does not return immediately, it will inevitably send some soldiers and horses to inspect it. If this part of the soldiers and horses does not return for a long time, I am afraid that the Huns will not want to stay any longer! ”

"Good! It's a great plan! What is your name? Hearing this, Deng Qiang couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"The last general, Shi Chen!" The lieutenant hurriedly said.

"Very good, if this plan is successful, this staff will take you as the first credit! When the time comes, the Great General will reward you! Seeing his respectful expression, Deng Qiang nodded and said.

"Although the plan is out, but the result is still dependent on the command of the generals, and it depends on everyone's best efforts. If this battle is successful, it will naturally be the first merit to the generals, how dare the last generals be greedy for merit? Hearing this, Shi Chen hurriedly said.

"That's it, don't talk about this, you know the rules of the Huashan Army, so you don't need to say much about it. Let's discuss the specific action plan now! Also, immediately send a team of men and horses to find a suitable ambush place, and at the same time, find a way to send people into the city to inform General Shao! Deng Qiang patted him on the shoulder, and then said.

The crowd immediately got busy, and after a while of discussion, a plan was finally formulated.

Outside Luguan, the Xiongnu army was stationed here. For them, this kind of life is no different from the nomadic life on the steppe, except that they have changed places to drink mare's milk wine and eat beef and mutton.

These Hu people of the Xiongnu can be said to have grown up on horseback since childhood! So, as long as you have a horse, water and jerky, you can live well.

Although they have been strong since the Warring States period, especially when they reached their peak in the Qin and Han dynasties, their habits have not changed much.

Looking at their military camp outside Luguan, it is also scattered and chaotic, and there is no rule at all. These military tents are also of different colors, and they are no different from those used by the herdsmen on the grassland, and they are simply moved over.

The soldiers attacked Luguan outside, and Liu Xibeqi, who was the commander of the army, and a few others sat in the most luxurious tents and drank wine, roasting leg of mutton.

"Big brother, how many days have you been fighting, and you haven't captured this Luguan. If we continue like this, we might as well go back! The people sitting in the tent were all Liu Xibeqi's brothers, and when the wine was hot, one of them said with some dissatisfaction.

"Go back? Do you dare to go back at this time, aren't you afraid that your uncle will kill you? If you do it without an order, you will return without success, even if he kills you, no one will sympathize with you! Hearing this, Liu Xibeqi glanced at him and said lightly.

Liu Xibeqi is the son of Liu Wuhuan, the former leader of the Xiongnu, and the nephew of the current leader of the Xiongnu, Liu Yantou. These people were originally hostages in Daiguo, and Shiyiqian, the king of Dai, wanted to use this to control the Xiongnu tribes.

To say that Liu Wuhuan has no ambitions, so he is also more loyal to Daiguo, and naturally his sons are also doing well in Daiguo. But as soon as Liu Wuhuan died and his younger brother Liu Yantou took over, he began to want to rebel against Daiguo.

In this way, Tuoba Shiyigan will certainly not tolerate it, in addition to leading the troops to the Yellow River to show his strength before, there is also a move to put his nephews back.

Naturally, the purpose was not to reunite their family, but to let them compete with Liu Yantou for the power of the Xiongnu Ministry, which led to the Xiongnu Ministry's dependence on him.

Liu Yantou is not a stupid person, so he can see this very clearly. It's just that Liu Xi doesn't pray that they are his nephews after all, and he has no name to get rid of them, so he has to stay by his side first.

It just so happened that this time there was an opportunity to go south, so he appointed Liu Xibeqi and his brothers to lead a group of men and horses to attack Luguan. In this case, meritorious service is naturally the best, everyone goes south together, and let the people in the tribe also see that their leader is meritocracy!

Of course, if they are defeated, it is best to die on the battlefield! Even if he escaped without dying, he would be in great prestige, spurned by the people, and there would be no more followers to oppose him. Even, Liu Yantou can take advantage of this failure and kill them all.

Liu Xibeqi has a lot of brothers, although there are not many outstanding ones, but there are still two smart people. At least, Liu Xibeqi and Liu Weichen are very clear about the subtleties in this. Therefore, even after so many days of fruitless attack, no order was given to withdraw the troops.

"What then? We're just waiting here stupidly? How long will it take? Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but calm down, but soon, another person started to complain.

"When my uncle withdraws, we'll withdraw too! Judging from the news we have received now, my uncle's side is also blocked out of Xiao Pass, and there is no difference between him and us. If he returns in vain, it will be impossible to use this as an excuse to punish us! Liu Weichen, who was sitting under Liu Xibe, said lightly at this time.

Liu Weichen was a relatively famous person during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, because after Liu Xibeqi's death, Liu Weichen killed his son and robbed him of the leader's position.

After that, he continued to maneuver between the former Qin, the Daiguo and the Northern Wei Dynasty, occupied the land of Shuofang, and became the object of struggle by all parties.

Of course, that's not where he shines. He is really remembered by history, I am afraid it is because of his son, the famous Helian who established Hu Xia and built the city of Tongwan! Because his son became the emperor, he himself was also honored as Taizu.

Of course, this is all original history. Now, Liu Weichen is still honestly his little brother!

Everyone who was originally a little disappointed, after hearing his words at this time, couldn't help but light up. Everyone understands that Liu Yantou has long wanted to kill his brothers, but he has never been able to find an excuse.

"Yes, as long as we wait until that side withdraws our troops first, we won't be blamed when the time comes! Moreover, the defeat of this war is to be counted on his head, and it has nothing to do with us! Liu Xibeqi took a sip of mare's milk wine, and then nodded and said.
