45, Puwu
"Hehe, that's because my brother is an eagle on the grassland, and he is the real master of the grassland!"
Hou Luohou thought about it for a long time, and finally scratched his head and smiled flatteringly.
Kebi can be majestic day by day, arrogant and domineering like the Marquis of Tho Luo, and he is also very afraid of his brother.
But Kebineng apparently did not accept this flattery, and he sneered and said:
"Think about it again."
"Could it be that it's because, ally, with the Han Chinese?"
Hou Luo Hou thought about it and said hesitantly.
Kebineng laughed, nodded and said:
"That's right, in addition to being able to quickly defeat a strong enemy and dominate the fortress, in addition to ourselves, it is also because we have more of these Han allies than others."
In the past, they formed an alliance with Yan Rou, the captain of Wuhuan, and others, and later after Yuan Shao annexed Youzhou, the Yuan family turned to the more powerful Budugen and Fuluo Han, and they found the current hussar general Yan Xing, in the process of forming an alliance with the Han people, they grew faster than other Xianbei tribes, and successively annexed the Xianbei tribes such as Fuluo Han and Budugen, which gradually formed the situation of today's dominance outside the Saiwai.
But what does this have to do with their adventure this time to sneak up on Yuan Shao's rear grain and grass?
"Because we can't have only one ally, since there is a chance to attack Yuan Shao's rear, then we might as well give it a try, only by letting the secluded land and even the whole of Hebei be chaotic, we can have more allies."
"But is the information provided by these two Han people reliable?"
Hou Luohou still maintained a playful vigilance in his tone, and Ke Bineng did not answer when he heard this, but turned his eyes to Pei Juan and Xie Jun who were not far away.
···
"Gentleman, the Xianbei cavalry is coming for profit, and there is no heart to fight to the death. Let them attack Puwu's Yuan army's grain land, after all, it is a dangerous plan, you see these Xianbei cavalry, when they attacked the Flying Fox Pass, they were once shaken, if they go deep into the enemy's territory, a slight setback, I am afraid that there will be a rout of the army and capture the general! ”
Xie Jun also had a sad look on his face, and said to Pei Juan in a low voice.
"Haha, the matter has come to this point, no matter how much worry and consideration there is, you and I just need to believe that these Xianbei cavalry will definitely be able to achieve victory when they attack Puwu's Yuan army's grain land."
Pei Juan gestured his hands and said with a smile.
After Xu You revealed the deployment of Yuan's army to Cao Yuan in Jinyang City, Cao Yuan, Xu Shu and others passed some important information to the trading stations in Hedong and Yanmen by releasing a batch of military pigeons that were originally prepared to be used to contact reinforcements at the last moment, and to cooperate with the outside world, so that Pei Juan and Xie Jun then also learned the information that the rear grain of Yuan Shao's army was located in Puwu.
Puwu is located in Changshan country, there are roads to and from the counties of Jizhou, the transportation is convenient, and the gathered grain and grass can also be transported to Shangdang, Taiyuan and other places by the nearest Jingcheng.
After Pei Juan and Xie Jun briefly verified the reliability of the intelligence, they found the adult Kebineng in the Xianbei army, and explained to him the idea of avoiding the real and attacking the enemy's rear grain land.
Originally, they thought that Kebineng would shirk and refuse, but they didn't expect Kebineng to observe the map for a while, and after muttering for a while, they agreed very simply.
This is why today's three thousand Xianbei cavalry broke into the Flying Fox Road and seized the Flying Fox Mouth.
And looking at Kebineng's plan, he also had to let the Xianbei cavalry under his command change into the banner and armor of the Yuan army, the distance from Feihukou to Puwu, according to the speed of the Xianbei cavalry, it only takes less than two days, surprise, unpreparedness, the probability of success is very great.
"Three thousand elite cavalry, attacking tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, is enough!"
Pei Juan smiled confidently.
···
Chang Shan, Pu Wu,
Just when the Xianbei cavalry of Kebineng changed into the banner and armor of the Yuan army and swaggered into the Hebei Plain, the retreating Yuan Shao's army also accelerated its retreat in order to prevent the enemy generals Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others from taking advantage of the opportunity, and arrived at Puwu one after another.
Puwu this place, the fame is not as big as the later generations, Xibaipo and other red tourist resorts have not yet appeared, but with the unique geographical advantages, it has now become the rear of Yuan Shao's army to store grain, frustrated, Chun Yuqiong led the transfer of grain and grass of Hebei people, plus with Yuan Shao's retreat of soldiers and horses, people, the number of people and horses is as much as 100,000.
Because Yuan Shao was sick on the bed, and the army had left the land now, and there was no threat from the enemy army in a short period of time, after the military advisers Tian Feng, Feng Ji and others discussed, they decided to take care of Yuan Shao's condition, the Chinese army should not be bumpy and trek, and should be temporarily stationed in Puwu, waiting for Yuan Shao's condition to improve before leaving, only in order to stabilize the panicked Hebei people caused by the disadvantage of the army in the merger, only a few Hebei elite troops were dispatched to Yecheng to garrison.
Therefore, the Xianbei cavalry, who had insight into the enemy's situation and was preparing to attack the enemy's rear grain area, coincidentally ran into the retreating Yuan Shao's army.
···
At night, north of the Xutuo River.
"Damn, where is this rear people who can be easily broken, it is obviously the army of Hebei, tens of thousands of people? I think there are more than 100,000 people! Brother, I can figure it out, these two Han people don't want us to attack the grain and grass at all, but want to take the lives of our Xianbei warriors to help them divert the enemy's offensive! ”
"In my opinion, it is better to tie up these two Han people now, withdraw the army overnight, and maybe retreat to Daijun before the enemy finds out."
Tho Luohou, who was dressed in Yuan Jun's clothes and armor and captured Yuan Jun's soldiers, pointed at Pei Juan and Xie Jun, two Han people mixed in the Xianbei cavalry, and no longer had any scruples, and roared loudly.
Ke Bineng, who was frowning, also looked at Pei Juan and Xie Jun, and said slowly:
"Two, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Lord Kebineng, you see that we are going south all the way and unimpeded, and the emptiness of Yuan Shao's rear defense is what everyone has seen with their own eyes along the way, you have the eyes of an eagle falcon, you should know that the information we provide is not wrong."
"Hmm." Kebineng nodded slightly, "But at the moment, what is stationed in Puwu is indeed not tens of thousands of people who have no combat power, but hundreds of thousands of troops led by Yuan Shaoqin, do you dare to say that it is not your intelligence, and there was a mistake in the process of passing it halfway?" ”
"Yes." Pei Juan knew that he couldn't show any hesitation or hesitation at the moment, so he said firmly:
"You can't go wrong with the information we provide. As for why there are more than 100,000 Yuan soldiers and horses stationed in Puwu at the moment, I think there is only this possibility, that is, Yuan Shao's army has been defeated or retreated in advance. ”
"Hehe, ridiculous, the defeated army still has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, do you think that our Xianbei people have never fought?"
Hou Luo Hou sneered and retorted.
Kebineng did not continue to embarrass Pei Juan and Xie Jun, he was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled again:
"Since the envoy has already judged that Yuan Shao's troops are defeated or retreat in advance, then we don't need to take any more risks to attack the grain storage land behind Yuan Shao, and these hundreds of thousands of horses are not something that a mere 3,000 cavalry can defeat. Why don't you turn around immediately and return to Daijun with the cavalry? ”
Xie Jun nodded, the situation has changed now, and it would be great to be able to reach a new collegiate agreement with the Xianbei people, and it is indeed too dangerous to use three thousand Xianbei cavalry to attack Yuan Shao's more than 100,000 horses.
But Pei Juan shook his head and said loudly in a tone that was not suitable for questioning:
"At present, our cavalry is very close to Yuan Shao's army, and none of them have been discovered by Yuan Shao's army, firstly because it is already night, and secondly, because no one in Yuan Shao's army can imagine that there is such a cavalry that knows their inside story to kill their neighborhood, if we don't take advantage of this night to launch a surprise attack, then wait until tomorrow's traces are exposed, and be pursued and intercepted by Yuan Shao's army who reacted, it will really be a disaster of annihilation!"
"You're trying to send us to death!"
Hou Luohou roared angrily, if it weren't for Zonu and others to stop him, he was afraid that he would immediately rush over and knock Pei Juan to the ground.
Kebi can calmly look at Hou Luohou, Pei Juan and others, and think about it for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and suddenly laughed loudly:
"What Hou Luo Hou and Pei Jun said has its own reason, since the public opinion is not decided, then according to the customs of the Xianbei people, Changshengtian should be invited to decide!"
When Zonu and the others heard this, their faces immediately turned solemn, their attitudes were respectful, and even the reluctant Hou Luo Hou could only bow down to the leader.
"Alright, go get the wizard!"
Kebineng waved his hand, and immediately Xianbei soldiers rushed to bring the wizard who accompanied the army.
This wizard's grade is not big, he is a disciple of the old wizard of the Kebineng tribe, not only can he ask the gods for divination, but also can heal people and animals, Kebi Neng has a lot of trust in him, this time he attacked the rear of Yuan Shao's army, and took him with him.
After he came in a hurry, he did not hesitate to listen to Kebineng's order to follow Jane, and immediately untied the skin bag on his back, took out a pair of divination cow bones from it, and began to bow down on the ground in front of everyone, chanting words, praying to the ancestors of ghosts and gods, the sun, moon and stars, and asked most of the Xianbei people who had extinguished the torches to re-light a bonfire for bone burning and divination.
Seeing the Xianbei people's prayer for divination, time passed quickly, and when the cow bones crackled on the bonfire, the wizard immediately asked the cow bones to be removed and extinguished the bonfire, and waited for a while before he brought the cow bones to the torch and looked at them carefully.
"Wizard, what did the Immortal Heaven say?"
The unruly Hou Luo Hou had now become a convinced believer, and he craned his neck, restlessly waiting for the sorcerer to proclaim the will of immortality.
Pei Juan and Xie Jun looked at the Xianbei wizard suspiciously in their hearts, while the Xianbei Lord Kebineng looked at the young wizard calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The wizard turned a deaf ear to the attitude of the others, and he had brewed enough emotions to say something in his mouth, and suddenly lifted the bones of the cow and cried out loudly:
"Go! Swim across the water, take advantage of the night to kill, and immortal heaven will kill all the enemies in front of the warriors! ”
