Chapter 235: The Battle of the Outside the Fortress (3)

Regarding Guo Bin's so-called "make a friend", Fu Luohan was naturally not satisfied. He knew that the relationship between the two sides was only based on trade cooperation, and as for friendship, it seemed that it was not enough to have such a big favor. Although the trade volume of the Putou tribe was the first among all the Xianbei tribes in the vicinity, it was not worthy of such care from the three cities outside the Saiwai. Come to think of it, Guo Bin just said a lot of things that are just inconvenient to say, is it related to the attack of He Lian Danyu this time?

Guo Bin saw that Fu Luohan was in thought, afraid that he would not fully understand what he meant, so he added: "I heard that there are more than 30 tribes in the central Xianbei this time who responded to Helian, the big one is two or three thousand, and the small one is five or six hundred, a total of about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they will attack together. ”

Fu Luo Han raised his head and said secretly: "Didn't Guo Bin Mo want my department to deal with these 30,000 miscellaneous people alone?" ”

Guo Bin ignored what he was thinking, and said directly: "Guo doesn't want to make a big deal of killing on the grassland, so he wants Putou to be a middle-aged person." ”

Fu Luo Han hurriedly said: "Please also ask the Hou Ye to show me." ”

Guo Bin said: "Helian Department, Guo knows how to cook, and the rest of the departments do things, please do it yourself." After this battle, the various ministries can directly come to the three outer cities to trade, and no longer have to fake others. ”

Fu Luo Han was shocked in his heart and secretly screamed. Because Helian's entanglement with the people and horses this time were all his affiliated tribes, in the past, the trade with the three cities outside the Saiwai was all handed over by the various departments to Helian, and then Helian sent people to the three cities outside the Saiwai to trade, which was called "in order not to be bullied by the Han people". There is no doubt that nearly one-third of the goods in each transaction went into Helian's pockets.

What Guo Bin did this time was to directly cut off Helian from the root!

Just as Fu Luohan was trying to digest what Guo Bin said and calculating the gains and losses, Guo Bin said lightly something that made his heart seem to jump out of his mouth: "After this battle, Guo will support Putou Shan Yu to inherit the position of Da Dan Yu Tanshi Huai and ascend to the position of Xianbei Da Dan Yu." ”

Until he came out of the yamen, Fuluo Han Shang was ignorant like falling into the clouds, Guo Bin's words shocked him too much, and the interests involved were too wide, although he grew up in a Xianbei aristocratic family at the age of twenty, he rarely came into contact with such a large-scale action, until he returned to the inn, he still felt extremely unreal.

In the inn, he couldn't find Kebineng, but Fu Luohan didn't pay too much attention to it. He ordered his entourage to pack up overnight, and the next morning Su Shuang personally sent him out of the city gate and went to the ministry. What he didn't know was that after Guo Bin met him, he left the city overnight and galloped to the depths of the northern grassland with more than 700 people. And along the way, deep ruts are like dragons coiling on the grassland, winding north.

On the reckless prairie, the spring snow has melted, and the weeds on the ground have also emerged one after another gray-green shoots, and as far as the eye can see, the whole grassland seems to be covered with a faint green veil, vigorous and full of vitality. In the distance, on the hills that are not very high, a few dead trees that have been crushed by the heavy snow in the harsh winter also bloom with new green at their broken ends.

The 30,000-strong army meandered forward in a long snake formation, and although the muddy grassland in spring brought many inconveniences to the march, it still could not resist the footsteps of the army marching south. Most of these 30,000 troops were men and three horses, and many even had two or three horses for transportation and even for transporting goods, in addition to the one they rode and the horses they rode when they were ready to fight. Even the poorest shepherds, when they went south to harass the Central Plains, would also gather a few more good horses. Guy was not only a need for war, but also the foundation of survival, and it was also a necessary thing to transport "spoils" when he went south to plunder.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old Xianbei boy, wearing a tattered sheepskin jacket, shaved smooth around his head, and a thin rattail in the middle of the back of his head, swayed with the pace of the war horse under his crotch, extremely playful and cute. At this age, he should have hid in the big tent in the tribe to escape the cold of spring, but the boy had to go south with the adults of the tribe to herd horses.

However, unexpectedly, the excessive responsibilities beyond his years did not discourage him, and his face was filled with joy as if he were on a spring outing.

He skillfully controlled the route of the war horse under his crotch with his thighs and knees, rubbing his frozen and blackened hands while excitedly talking to the big black man on the war horse slightly ahead of him on the right.

"Uncle Tatara, you said that this time you went south, can you really tell the patriarch that you can get a dozen sheep each?"

The big black man glanced at him and said, "Little He Batshe, you haven't been to the Southern Dynasty, and you don't know the wealth of the Southern Dynasty. The walls there are all made of gold, and the trees are covered with felt, and if you find a Han man to take off his clothes, you can change them into three or two sheep. A dozen sheep? That's trivial. ”

Hebashe's still immature little face was suddenly full of joy, and he said excitedly: "Da Shan Yu said, this time I went south to kill a Han man and rewarded two lambs, I want to kill a few more, and if I can save enough lambs in the next year, I can marry a mother-in-law." ”

He sneered and said, "You kid, you are not very old, and your mind is not small. At this young age, you're thinking about marrying your mother-in-law? ”

He Batsha's neck stiffened, and he said: "Uncle Ta La, don't underestimate people, He Batsha is already thirteen, and by next year's fourteen, what's wrong with marrying a mother-in-law?" ”

He Tara nodded and said, "It's time to think about your mother-in-law." Immediately, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this time I am going south to go to the city outside the Han people's fortress, which is full of good things transported by the Han people from the Central Plains. This time, we followed Da Shan Yu to break through his city, and robbed the silk, cattle, sheep and women in the city. When the time comes, won't Uncle Ta La's direct help you rob a Han mother-in-law? ”

Looking at the subordinates who were whispering, but their faces were obviously excited, and Lian was extremely high-spirited, as if even the steps of the war horse under his crotch were much brisker. According to Qianman's report, there was nothing unusual in the three cities outside the Saiwai this time, and there were still crowds of people in the trading house, and mountains of silk and salt were piled up in the warehouse, so they were just waiting to take someone to pick it up.

In fact, this time to lead people south to attack the three cities outside the Han people was also a decision after careful consideration. Since he inherited the will of his father Tanshi Huai Shan Yu and was appointed as Xianbei Da Danyu, all kinds of gossip have been rampant. First of all, Putou's father, that is, his brother, died, because the timing was extremely coincidental, and he had an emergency, many people suspected that he was the one who did it, saying that he killed his brother and seized the throne. Later, because of some things, the western Xianbei gradually became big, and finally split.

It was because of the rumors that he "killed his brother and seized the throne" that Putou has been against him, not only with the Han people who built the city outside the Saiwai, but also openly doing a good business with the defected Xianbei in the west. A few days ago, a group of cavalry sent out to plunder the Han caravan had more than 1,500 people when they went out, but only three or two hundred returned. Moreover, these three or two hundred cavalrymen were all wounded, saying that they had already prepared for convenience when the large group of men and horses approached, and they were all equipped with leather armor and high-grade ring head knives, and they were stunned to hit their own side by surprise.

The grassland is the pasture of the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people are naturally the best at how to march secretly on the grassland and detect the enemy's situation. The Han people are not good at riding, and their horse exploration level has always been worrying, if it is not for the Putou who has been against them, how can the team of Han people prepare in advance?

"Humph! When I take down the three cities outside the Saiwai, I will first take the Putou Division! How can the prestige of my Xianbei Dashan Yu be easily damaged by you, a descendant? He Lian thought hatefully.

After succeeding to the throne, Helian wanted to learn from his father Tanshi Huai Shan Yu everywhere, and wanted to continue the myth of Da Xianbei, but he didn't learn like it everywhere and was frustrated everywhere. As a result, not only did his prestige become less and less preservious, but many of the tribes that had been close to him gradually became estranged, and eventually the entire Xianbei was divided. He Lian urgently needs a hearty victory to prove that he is indeed the rightful heir of Da Dan Yu Tanshi Huai. Their own succession is not only legally justified, but also the practical needs of the Xianbei tribes: they really need a wise and martial hero to lead them back to the glory of Tanshi Huaishan in the past.

Originally, he had thought a lot about the object of plunder. In the end, it was under Qianman's suggestion that the three cities outside the Saiwai were chosen.

The three cities outside the city were newly built not long ago, and the foundation is not stable, and the form of the surrounding area must not have been discovered. In addition, as a trading city, its storage area stores countless gold and silver treasures, fine wine and ironware, as well as Han man-made woolen clothes and wine that is now very famous on the grassland. The blood-red liquor is mellow and heavy, and it is full of stamina, and the hot feeling of pouring it into the mouth and swallowing it in the stomach is simply intoxicating.

However, it is such a tempting big fat meat, but without the support of the matching martial arts, this is simply tempting people to commit crimes!

According to the information gathered by various parties, the number of soldiers patrolling the central city of the three outer cities was no more than 5,000. Although their armor was bright and they walked majestically, they knew at a glance that they were all young children who had never seen blood. This kind of soldier, no matter how hard he trains in peacetime, can only be slaughtered once he goes to the battlefield.

Compared with the Han city inside the Great Wall, the difficulty of attacking the three cities outside the fortress is too small.

First of all, there is no need to enter the Great Wall, which is one of the most important advantages. Because the Great Wall is a huge defensive system, not just a wall. It is not difficult to grasp a breakthrough in the eyes of Helian, and the action after the breakthrough is really crucial. Even Dadan Yu Tanshi Huai can only quickly lead the army to evacuate before the Han Dynasty army encircles and suppresses, because once it is dragged by the Han army in the front, the defenders on both sides of the Great Wall will block the original breakthrough, and it will really become a closed door to beat the dog, and catch a turtle in the urn.

The second reason is that the foundation is unstable. I heard that the residents in the city are all Yellow Turban Army who rebelled in the Central Plains, this Guo Bin's heart is really big, put these rebels outside the plug, aren't you afraid that they will rebel again?
