Chapter 376: Surprised Tiger Idiot
Yuan Xi planned to set up a county here, but he felt that it was unrealistic.
"I don't know." Yuan Xiang thought about it, his brain was dead, this was beyond his knowledge, and he could only shake his head.
Yuan Xi sighed, in fact, the grassland is really difficult to manage, if the Xiongnu go, there will be Wuhuan, without Wuhuan, there will be Xianbei, even if there is no Xianbei, there will be Qiang, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen in the future....... It's really going back and forth, different grasslands, flowing water masters, in short, it won't stop.
If you want to manage it once and for all, Yuan Xi really can't think of a way for a while.
Forget it, take Xianbei down first, and then go back to gather everyone to find a way together, it's much better than trying to be blind by yourself.
Yuan Xi took Yuan Xiang for a while, and then prepared to go back to the camp to sleep.
As soon as he walked to the camp, Dian Wei hurried up and said loudly: "Lord, there is a letter from ahead." ”
Yuan Xi stopped, and after Dian Wei came over, he took the letter and asked, "Whose letter?" ”
"It's Li Da's."
Yuan Xi opened the envelope and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed. In the past few days, there is actually a reason why he is not in a hurry, because he has not received the news that Li Da has attacked and occupied the Xianbei royal court, even if he marches in a hurry and arrives at the fortress where the Xianbei soldiers are stationed, it is useless.
Storm? Yuan Xi never intended to attack with soldiers and horses, and he knew that the Xianbei soldiers would retreat on their own.
If you don't think about it, the good news will come.
The letter said that Li Da and the others had gone through the most difficult time, although they had lost hundreds of men and horses, but they only needed to march for three days to reach the Xianbei royal court, and the good news was that the Xianbei royal court, the guarding soldiers, were less than 2,000, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
Yuan Xi was speechless with excitement, although it was a little strange that the guards of the Xianbei Royal Court were so weak, but he didn't bother to think about it so much, in short, it was a good thing for himself.
Yuan Xi calculated, when this letter was written, plus the urgent delivery, it is estimated that several days have passed.
Sure enough, after a few days of rapid marching, Yuan Xi and the others finally received the news.
Li Da led the army to conquer the Xianbei royal court and captured many Xianbei royal families alive.
"Good, good, good!"
Yuan Xi laughed and ordered: "The whole army marches with all its might, we must enter the city before dark!" ”
Don't look at Xianbei as prairies, in fact, in their hinterland, there are many buildings, and even cities, but there is no exquisite workmanship of the Han people.
Yuan Xi and his entourage, with 8,000 soldiers and horses, quickly raised the speed.
Walked non-stop towards the snoring city ahead.
Along the way, it has been almost five or six days since Li Da conquered the Xianbei Royal Court.
The date that Yuan Xi agreed with him was a month, but he knew that if Kebi could attack the Xianbei royal court with all his strength and swore to take it back, Yuan Xi would have to compress the days to about twenty days.
In other words, Yuan Xi and the others must arrive at the Xianbei Royal Court within ten days. This is the safest guarantee.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Yuan Xi and his party finally arrived at Purr City, because it was dark late in summer, so the sky was still bright, but Yuan Xi knew that at most one more hour, the sky would be completely dark.
The dense army pressed under the city of Purr.
The front of Liao Hua, who was in charge of entering the city, soon came news that there were actually defenders in the city, and there were quite a few.
Yuan Xi received the news, and soon rode his horse and felt snoring under the city, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but gasp.
Damn, although the name of this snoring city is extremely weird, but the construction of this city is extremely majestic, no, it should be said that it has quite a primitive taste.
It looks like almost all of them are piled up with stones, but Yuan Xi's eyesight is excellent, and it is easy to see that this fortress, between the stones and the stones, is almost smoothed, and it is estimated that even a blade cannot be inserted.
Although such a city is rude, in the grassland, the difficulty of conquering is tantamount to climbing to the sky. The key is that Yuan Xi and his party don't have a siege machine yet.
Built in place? If you don't even have wood, where can you build it?
"Lord, let's attack the city, shall we?" Xu Chu shouted. He still remembered that Yuan Xi had said before that it would be dark to enter the city.
Yuan Xi's head was hurting, and when he heard this, he suddenly said angrily: "Okay, you go and take me to the city, I will count you as your first merit!" ”
"Hehe," Xu Chuhan laughed twice, and said in his heart, I don't even have soldiers and horses, what kind of city to attack? Just as he was about to explain, Liao Hua behind him whispered: "General, we don't have siege equipment!" ”
Xu Chu suddenly understood, and shouted, "Are we just looking at it like this?" ”
All the generals looked at him with idiot eyes, and Liao Hua also hid behind in shame.
Yuan Xi looked at it for a while, and his heart was not a way, so he said: "Retreat ten miles back and camp on the spot to rest." ”
The generals received the order, after all, the plan was wrong, and the royal court of Kebineng was all ended, and they were still so far away, and they set up heavy troops to guard against Yuan Xi and others. This has to be said that everyone did not expect.
It rained heavily at night, and although the tents kept out the rain, the grass was extremely prone to cloudy water, and the army hardly had much rest in one night.
Early in the morning, Yuan Xi climbed out of the tent with a sad face, looking at the continuous light rain, knowing that the rain would not stop for a while.
Tai Shici rushed over and hurriedly said to him: "General, what can I do about this?" In this kind of weather, within three days, it is difficult for us to cook, and we have a bad rest, and it is extremely easy to get sick. ”
Yuan Xi pulled a long face, looked back at the endless rain curtain, and then turned to look at the city wall in the rain in front of him, and said helplessly: "Then what do you say?" Siege or retreat? ”
The siege is unrealistic, and the retreat is even more unrealistic, Li Da and the others are still waiting for themselves to rescue, if they retreat, the other two roads are estimated to be similar, and Li Da can only wait for death.
Tai Shici also hesitated, yes, I can't advance or retreat, how should this be? ”
Yuan Xi ordered: "Let the soldiers be prepared, wait a little longer, now you can only suffer a little." ”
Tai Shi Ci sighed, there was only so much in front of him, after all, no one expected such a change.
The heavy rain lasted for two days and two nights, and when the rain stopped on the third day, Rao is Yuan Xi was strong and sick.
Coughing twice, Yuan Xi was about to send someone out to investigate the situation, when he heard footsteps outside, Xu Chu ran in and said in surprise: "Lord, lord, great joy." ”
Yuan Xi stood up abruptly and asked, "What happened?" Did all the soldiers in the city withdraw? ”
Xu Chu's eyes suddenly widened like cow's eggs, and he said in surprise: "Lord Shengming, how do you know that the enemy has withdrawn?" ”
