Chapter 141: The Covenant of the Decisive Battle
After Liu Yi's army arrived, the Xiongnu Shan Yu sent an envoy to persuade him to pay money, grain, cattle and sheep to avoid the military disaster, and at the same time expressed the intention of helping him to raise the army in the Central Plains, but where did he know Liu Yi's temper and intentions, plus the ten thousand horsemen Tan Biwen, who was the messenger, was rude in words and deeds, and finally Liu Yi cut off his right ear before letting it back! After returning to the camp, he reported the other party's behavior, and Hu Chuquan immediately jumped like thunder, that is, the white horse general Gongsun Zan did not insult himself like this at the beginning, this Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng will definitely make him pay the price.
But calm down and think about it, what can he do, although he has gathered a total of 140,000 troops with the prestige of Da Shan Yu this time, but he is also a mirror in his heart, and the various tribes and clans under his command are by no means monolithic as they seem.
At the beginning, he was full of confidence in front of the army, but a scattered pass made it difficult for him to make more than 100,000 horses difficult to advance, and the fierce attack was unsuccessful, so he divided his troops from Gongsun Yue's strategy to attack Yixian and Taixing, who knew that Taixing was a bloody battle, the county was lost and lost, and the blood and courage of the Han army made the soldiers who came back fearful, and they all said that their fierceness was still above the command of the white horse general! And the Han army of Yixian County is even more vigilant, so that he has no chance to take advantage of it! Therefore, in addition to threatening Liu Yi, he also had a bit of a dilemma at this time, the first two momentum of his army would be the same, and he couldn't work in vain, at least he had to get some compensation. Who knew that this Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng were extremely strong, and the behavior of his own envoy became a self-inflicted humiliation, and now it is difficult to have a good solution.
Wandering and having no plan, he asked his cronies to invite his other henchman, Wan Cavalry Chang Bohuer, this person went to the Han Dynasty to study when he was a teenager, and he was quite wise, and Hu Qiquan usually attached great importance to him, as for Gongsun Yue, there must be different hearts in my clan, how could he really believe it? On that day, he advised him not to send troops south, but he did not follow his words, and only today he believed what he said.
"Bohuer, this time my army came, but in Sanguan and Taixing are all lost soldiers, although our army's iron cavalry is invincible, but the Han army does not fight with me head-on, just defend the city pass, if you talk about siege? Hey~~ You tried hard to persuade me not to go south that day, and I hated not to listen to what you said, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger. "Seeing Bohuer enter the tent, Huchuquan did not hide it.
"That Gongsun Yue was bent on avenging his brother, so he asked Shan Yu to raise troops, saying that Liu Yi used intrigue and trickery to defeat Gongsun Zhan, and he had no real talent and real learning! In addition, our tribe has been plagued by natural disasters this year, and the Han Dynasty is in chaos, so the leaders of the tribes are also unanimous, and they are also forced by the situation at that time! It can be seen from my point of view that this Liu Yi is indeed a masterpiece, Shan Yu can know that he was the county guard of Yanjun at the beginning, and he was able to break the Wuhuan coalition army with only 3,000 soldiers, not to mention that now he has defeated Gongsun Zan and has tens of thousands of elites, how can he bow to Shan Yu? Seeing that Shan Yu was quite remorseful in his words, Bohuer naturally did not stimulate it again, but did not force Gongsun Yue.
"Hey, Bohuer, you are right, but at the moment, the Han army is firmly guarding the three brothers of Sanguan, Yixian, and Taixing, and our army is completely invulnerable. Huzuquan sighed.
"Since the Wuhuan tribe has traded with the Han Dynasty, it has gained a lot of benefits from Liu Yi, and now the people are thriving, and its strength has surpassed our clan. If you want to lose face, I have a way to try it here! He was a man of strategic foresight, he said.
"Oh, what's the solution, say it quickly!" Hearing this, Hu Qiquan hurriedly urged.
"I have heard for a long time that this Liu Yi is a hero, and he is brave and strong, since he gave Shan Yu a war letter, there is a battle in Benwolf Yuan after half a month, although he is elite but after all, there is a lack of elite cavalry, but our cavalry is invincible, and there are 80,000 of them, and we have a great chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation! If he comes to fight, he can take advantage of the situation to break it, and he will naturally get his wish; If he doesn't come, it will be tantamount to destroying his reputation, and then he can use this as an excuse to order the army to retreat, and he will not lose face! Bohuer said that after defeating Wu Huan, Liu Yi's brave name spread in northern Xinjiang, and everyone knew about it.
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Then act on the plan immediately! "Hu Qiquan was overjoyed when he heard this, it was best for Liu Yi to dare to come and compete with him! In his heart, Gongsun Chan was back then, and he would never dare to fight with him in such a dignified battle under such a comparison of troops.
Bo Huer saw that Shan Yu was overjoyed, but he sighed secretly in his heart, if Liu Yi didn't come to really withdraw from the army, how should he spend this year's food shortage, if he listened to his own words, he would follow Wu Huan and get along with him, and he would take his own benefits, he would not be annoyed that Shan Yu did not listen to him, but he hated Gongsun Yue.
Hu Chuquan was worried about the war, and Liu Yi on the loose pass was not easy in his heart, although he knew that as long as he held the three places steadily, he could be safe, but his purpose was not here, the army came to fight the Xiongnu in a battle, and to ensure that there would be no major war in the north in the future! Then he can really have no trouble, bent on fighting for the Central Plains, although the gathering of more than 100,000 troops of the Huns gave him a lot of pressure, but it is also a good opportunity to seize its main force, otherwise the other party comes and goes like the wind, can advance and retreat, and then to get rid of it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, this battle is the opportunity and risk coexist!
If you want to fight, you have to fight with the opponent's main force, which is the most effective method, and this is exactly what Liu Yi is not sure of, for no other reason, the 80,000 elite cavalry in the opponent's formation is too much of a headache! At that time, the reason why Dong Zhuo was able to shock the Quartet, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command was the biggest guarantee, and when the princes joined forces to fight against Dong, they gathered more than 300,000 horses to make him retreat, but the available soldiers in his hands now are only 70,000, which is still counted together with the defenders of Taixing in Yixian County, and the ones that can be used for the decisive battle are between 50,000! Especially the lack of cavalry, Zhao Yun's iron cavalry revenue was reduced, and Baima Yicong was only 10,000 people after that.
In terms of numbers, he was already at a disadvantage, and the number of cavalry was far less than that of the other party, such a balance of strength, even with Liu Yi's conceit, he knew that if he fought head-to-head without any tricks, the Han army should be defeated and invincible, but if he really couldn't hold it, he felt that he had missed the opportunity! At this time, Liu Yi was also a little undecided, what he said in front of his subordinates was more about boosting morale, in the hearts of the soldiers and generals, Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng had never been defeated, and then it was a difficult situation, as long as he was the main general, he was confident, and the people below were even more courageous!
There is only one way to win the decisive battle, and the enemy's cavalry will not be effective! But this is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, there are mostly flat grasslands outside the pass, and it is not easy to take advantage of the terrain. At that time, Liu Yi also conceived a method, that is, to lure the enemy deeper, and then find a chance to overcome it, but if the wolf is lured into the house, the local people will definitely suffer, and Liu Yi will not have too many scruples if he changes other princes, but this is a war with foreign races, Liu Yi still can't do anything to exchange the lives of the people for victory. After all, he has never lacked blood in his heart in the future, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to come to this troubled world.
After thinking hard for a day is still nothing, the Huns sent another messenger, this time to win people but according to the number of courtesies to see Liu Yi, appeared extremely respectful, and handed the Huns Shan Yu Huquan personally written the war book, about half a month later in the wolf plain to fight the winner, if Liu Yi wins then he has him in one day, the Huns will no longer Fan Han size territory!
Liu Yi didn't expect that these simple-minded aliens would give him such a hand, I am afraid that someone pointed him out, and he also knew something about his character, knowing that he was by no means a person who sat on the guard. He only listens to the joke of what is not Fan Han territory, as long as he wins this battle, what will he use to fan my territory, but the comparison of forces in front of him is the same as the iron fact, the Lord can not be angry and raise the division, and will not be stunned and cause war, Liu Yi is well aware of the truth, but the foreign envoy is in front of him, and it is impossible to let him avoid the war no matter what, but the location of the decisive battle at this time makes his heart move.
