Chapter 11 Tuoba's Decision-making

On this expedition, Xiang Ao did not have the slightest intention of being soft.

The moment he broke into the military formation, Xiang Ao danced the spear in his hand and kept harvesting the lives of the Xianbei cavalry.

Xiang Ao suppressed the unbearability in his heart, even the old and weak women and children among the Xianbei people, Xiang Ao did not have the slightest softness.

"Devil Xiang Ao, why are you so cruel and attack our people?"

Xiang Ao looked at the Xianbei man dressed as the leader in front of him, shook off the blood on the spear, and said fiercely.

"Hmph, now you know it hurts? When Cao Cao invaded the frontier of our Yan Kingdom, he didn't see you being soft-hearted. ”

The leader of Xianbei looked at Xiang Ao fiercely, and roared: "What about our invasion of the border? Who stipulates that only you Han people can occupy the rich land of the Central Plains? ”

"Hehe, that's also true, those who can live in it." Xiang Ao smiled fiercely and said disdainfully: "That king has taken a fancy to the Xianbei grassland, and who stipulates that the Han people can't go north?" ”

"You..."

Xiang Ao danced a spear flower, and continued with contempt: "Since those who are capable live in it, then talk on horseback!" ”

"There are three armies, and none of them will be left!"

"Kill!" Xiang Ao roared, no longer giving the Xianbei leader a chance to speak, and rushed towards the Xianbei leader.

"Ahh This king is going to kill you today! The leader of Xianbei frantically shook the mantle of his cape, and his eyes were red and charged towards Xiang Ao.

Hum! Xiang Ao snorted softly, raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed the Xianbei leader through with an illusory thrust in the blink of an eye.

"Brothers, the leader of Xianbei is dead, kill with this king!" Xiang Ao flicked his spear, picked up the body of the Xianbei leader, and shouted loudly.

"Kill!"

Three or five hours later, under Xiang Ao's ruthless iron hooves, 100,000 Xianbei tribes were slaughtered, and none of them survived.

Even the infant died under the hooves of the ruthless Yan Army.

After Liwei, Xiang Ao also restrained, met the Xianbei tribe again, and only killed the Xianbei people with sharp blades. As for those who gave up resistance and were willing to surrender, Xiang Ao only suffered most of the cattle, sheep and cattle of the Xianbei tribe and let them die and die.

The bloody first battle made Xiang Ao the target of everyone. Everyone in the world denounced Xiang Ao for being cruel and unkind.

"My lord, the previous rumors are self-defeating." Guo Jia said with some regret.

Cao Cao was not displeased at all, and said indifferently: "What is the greatest advantage of the people of my Han Dynasty? ”

"All rivers are inclusive!" Cao Cao stood up and looked to the north: "Originally, Xiang Ao was the one who gave full play to this advantage, so that the national strength of the Yan Kingdom flourished. ”

"Wouldn't it be better now that Xiang Ao has lost a reputation for cruelty in order to dispel rumors?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded approvingly, and continued: "In this way, can General Zhongde's strategy continue?" ”

Cheng Yu was listening, and said, "I thought I could continue." ”

"Although the rumor that Xiang Ao is not a Han may be self-defeating, the reputation for brutality is not very good." Cheng Yu said with a grim face: "The lord only needs to send someone to exaggerate, and Xiang Ao's brutal reputation will be confirmed immediately." ”

"As for what the people of the world think, the lord doesn't have to care."

"Hahaha..."Cao Cao laughed: "Those who know me, Zhong Deye!" ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, then at Cheng Yu, and raised his head to look north. Xiang Ao, Xiang Ao, I want to see how you break this game.

Xiang Ao's army was running wantonly in the Xianbei realm, and at this time, Tuoba Liwei was in a very bad mood on the Wolf Juxu Mountain.

"Father, this Ao is too ruthless." Tuoba Desert Khan shook his fist fiercely: "Since you just want to correct your name, you just mean it, and you still shoot real fire with real knives and guns?" ”

Tuoba Liwei walked back and forth in the account, and said with an uncertain expression: "Xiang Ao, this guy is forcing the Tuoba tribe to make a move." ”

Originally, Tuoba Liwei didn't want to participate in this dispute, so it was good to wait for Xiang Ao to vent and retreat.

But Tuoba Liwei didn't expect that Xiang Ao would come to the real thing this time. Not only did it come true, but the first battle made Xianbei fearful, and at the same time, it also made Xianbei tribes hate the same enemy, and Xiang Ao never died.

"It seems that Xiang Ao's dispatch of troops this time is not as simple as we thought before." Tuoba Li looked at the map with a slight solemnity.

"What do you mean by that, Father?"

Tuoba Li looked at Tuoba Desert Khan and said in a deep voice: "In the past few years, I have recovered a lot of strength, which may have aroused Xiang Ao's suspicions. ”

Tuoba Desert Khan was stunned for a moment, and then said with the same solemnity: "Father means that Xiang Ao took this opportunity to go north, and the goal was my great Tuoba Department?" ”

"Xiang Ao sent troops to Bullet Sweat Mountain and went north directly."

"After slaughtering the first tribe, he kept raiding the other tribes without any more ruthlessness."

"What Xiang Ao wants is to let the other tribes understand that he doesn't want to kill them all, just put down his sword and become a vassal."

Tuoba Desert Khan also looked at Yutu and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't this better, doesn't my father have no intention of making Yuxiang Ao an enemy and avoiding the edge for the time being?" ”

"I thought about it for my father, but now looking at Xiang Ao's marching route, it seems that he came directly to my wolf Juxu Mountain." Tuoba Desert Khan laughed a little and said: "The raids along the way are just to make the rest of the tribes frightened, so that the rest of the tribes do not dare to rush to the aid of my Tuoba tribe." ”

"What?" Tuoba Desert Khan said in disbelief: "Xiang Ao only has tens of thousands of elite cavalry, how dare he go deep alone?" ”

"Hehe, why doesn't he dare Xiang Ao?" Tuoba Li said helplessly: "The former Xianbei King Tan Shihuai is alive, how powerful is it, hasn't it been wiped out by Xiang Ao's tens of thousands of troops?" ”

"Xiang Ao was only a marquis of the frontier at that time, not to mention that Xiang Ao was the lord of a country at this time."

Tuoba Desert Khan sighed for a while, and cursed in a low voice of resentment.

"Father, what are we going to do?"

Looking at Tuoba Desert Khan, who looked impetuous, Tuoba Li frowned slightly: "You must fight, but you can't fight to the death." ”

"What does Father mean..."

"Today's Xianbei is not the opponent of the Yan Country." Tuoba Li said slightly, with a slight smile on his face: "First, we can't let Xiang Ao of Yanguo think that Xianbei is only bullied, and second, we can't let Tuoba and Xiang Ao form a mortal enmity." Moreover, on the contrary, Xiang Ao's expedition this time may help his father reorganize Xianbei. ”

When Tuoba Desert Khan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "What my father means is to send an envoy to Xiang Ao..."

"No hurry!" Tuoba Li curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and chuckled like a fox: "Wait until the Yan King is angry." ”

"Father!" Tuoba Desert Khan exclaimed: "Father doesn't want to give up Wolf Juxu Mountain to Xiang Ao. ”

"I can't talk about it. Just hand over the Wolf Juxu Mountain to Xiang Ao for the time being, and let Xiang Ao climb the mountain to worship. ”

"But what if Xiang Ao takes Wolf Juxu Mountain and the garrison doesn't leave?" Tuoba Desert Khan was a little shocked and persuaded: "Wolf Juxu Mountain is now my Xianbei Holy Mountain, if Xiang Ao is allowed to climb to the top again, how will my father lead the Tuoba tribe, and how will the rest of the tribes submit?" ”

Tuoba Li waved his hand indifferently, and said lightly: "The border between the two states is thousands of miles away from the Wolf Juxu Mountain. Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, Xiang Ao will not be stupid enough to want to conquer Xianbei at this time. ”

"After King Yan vents, bring sincerity, I believe that King Yan is still willing to play with his father."

Tuoba Desert Khan suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "Father is wise. ”

Tuobali chuckled slightly, accepted his son's sycophant, and his eyes were half-narrowed, looking at the markings on the map that represented the tribes.

"My lord, the Tuoba Department has made a move."

On the grassland, Xiang Ao was blatantly stationed, and the entire camp was brightly lit, and Xianbei was not taken into account at all.

Xiang Ao took the codex handed by Dian Wei and looked at it carefully.

"Hehe, Tuoba Liwei is really not simple."

Xu Shu, whose face was red from the bonfire, clinked glasses with Tai Shici and took a sip of wine, and asked with some curiosity: "Lord, what did Tuoba Liwei do?" ”

"Tuoba Liwei responded."

Xiang Ao threw the codex into the fire at will, and said lightly: "I don't want to go on this expedition, but I helped Tuoba Liwei." ”

"The Xianbei tribes, under the pressure of the army of Wuyan State, under the leadership of Tuoba Liwei, are temporarily integrated. If Tuoba is weak, and this person's courage and means are good, I am afraid that Wuyan Kingdom will be a big trouble in the north in the future. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some doubts: "Even if Tuoba Li takes advantage of the power of the lord to unify Xianbei." But if the lord cripples Xianbei or even expells him to the Western Regions, what threat can he have? ”

Xiang Ao shook his head, with a hint of solemnity: "Yuan Zhi don't underestimate the tenacity of Xianbei people, from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, Yuan Zhi has not seen Xianbei disabled. ”

"But what about now?"

When Xu Shu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then frowned slightly.

"But this expedition, you don't have to worry." Xiang Ao chuckled and comforted everyone: "Maybe Tuoba Liwei will help this king." ”

Tian Yu on the side listened for a long time, raised his head, hugged his fists at Xiang Ao and said: "Lord, the minister has a plan, maybe he can guard against Tuoba a little." ”

"Oh?" Xiang Ao replied curiously: "Let's hear it." ”

"The lord doesn't necessarily have to fight on the wolf in this battle." Tian Yu paused slightly, organized some language and said: "But the lord has no intention of expanding the territory for the time being, and after the lord retreats, the territory that the lord has beaten down will inevitably return to the hands of the Xianbei people." ”

"In that case, why didn't the lord lead the eastern husband Yu into Xianbei?" Tian Yu said firmly: "Xianbei has occupied the north for a long time, especially in the east, Xianbei has often fought with the rest of the people, and has already formed a lot of grudges. ”

"The lord can borrow troops from his husband on the grounds that his troops are insufficient. Then promised Fu Yu that most of the Xianbei territory he captured would be given to Fu Yu, and the minister wanted to come, and Fu Yu should refuse without saying a word. ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said approvingly: "This is a good strategy." ”

"But I'm afraid King Fuyu is not stupid, if you want King Fuyu to send troops, I'm afraid you have to need some strategies."

Tian Yu smiled lightly, and then said: "If the lord trusts him, he can ask the husband to send troops to the minister." ”

Well? Xiang Ao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Haha, since the state has taken the initiative to ask for his life, this king will naturally agree." ”
