Chapter 259: The Battle of the Outside of Cyprus (27)

Listening to Guo Bin's question, Yan Rou smiled. He said to Guo Bin: "Last night, the Xianbei army camped in the wilderness, and someone attacked and disturbed it in the middle of the night, causing the Xianbei people to go up to the company and down to the small soldiers, but what did your department do? ”

Guo Bin smiled but did not speak.

Yan Rou waved his hand and said, "If you don't say it, I also know that in the Xianbei grassland in the central part of the country, except for the three cities outside the Saiwai, where is there anyone who dares to sneak attack Helian's troops?" It's Putou, he doesn't dare to give him two guts! I saw him take a sip of fragrant tea to himself, moisten his throat, and continued: "Your department sent people to disturb the enemy, but there are two purposes, one is to delay and connect the army, and the other is to naturally urge the army to move quickly. ”

When Guo Bin heard this, he was quite shocked by the ingenuity hidden under this cynical appearance, and nodded unconsciously.

"However, if you want to delay the trip of the Helian army, you will have to harass it in many ways, so that the Xianbei army will not be at peace day and night, how can it be that you only harass it twice, and then let the Xianbei scouts disperse? With such a small number of troops, where is it used to delay the enemy's journey? Where can the trip of the main army of 30,000 Xianbei be delayed? This is obviously here to scare the snake! ”

"The art of war has clouds, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, the so-called can but can not be shown, used and shown not to use, near and show far, far and show near. The Han people fight wars, unlike the Xianbei people, and they like to use some tricks and tricks. This time, he took the initiative to startle the snake, so he was naturally prepared. Besides, Qian Man returned to Shan Yuting from the three cities outside the Saiwai this time, two days later than usual, naturally you made a plan to trap him, and this kid was still stupidly ignorant, saying that he was discussing with Sha Hanlin how to rebel in the city. Hehe, although Lao Tzu saw through it, he didn't tell him, so he wanted to see what happened to their father and son! ”

After listening to this, Guo Bin was really shocked. He really didn't expect that the strategy he and Xi Zhicai racked their brains to come up with would be seen through so easily. It is said that it can't, Xi Zhicai's strategy is famous in history, but what is this Yan Rou, Guo Bin has never heard of his name, what is wrong?

Immediately, Guo Bin was stunned. It turned out that both Xi Zhicai and Guo Bin had fought in the Central Plains for more than a year, but they had experienced very few large-scale battles. The battle outside the city of Changshe was able to achieve great success, largely because of the gap in equipment and strength between the two sides, and at the same time, the number of Yellow Turban soldiers was both large and the quality was uneven, so the large number of people became a nightmare for its commanders. Poor command was one of the most important reasons for the defeat of the huge and bulky Yellow Turban army.

At that time, Guo Bin led 700 subordinates, although they were also recruits who had never experienced a big war, but their equipment was many times better than that of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the number was small, and the training was good.

Yan Rou has been in the grassland for a long time, and has experienced ups and downs since he was a child, and his experience has been summed up through the horsewhip that has been drawn firmly on his body for many years, without the slightest fancy. Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai are different, although the two of them are by no means Zhao Kuo and the like who talk about war on paper, they have no experience in independently commanding large-scale battles of more than 10,000 people. Therefore, the lack of experience makes them have to fill in the gaps in their brains with knowledge and imagination from books, which makes them as awkward as they are now.

Thinking that Helian had never had the experience of leading a large army to the battle, so he had never found useful information from these clues, and Fang was exploited by Guo Bin. In essence, the victory or defeat of this battle is not because of how clever the winner is, but because both sides are simply okay. And Yan Rou's particularity of identity and purpose allows him to think about things very calmly from a neutral perspective to a certain extent, so he can see things so thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Guo Bin secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, if it weren't for Yan Rou's special identity, he was afraid that he would lose this battle. However, Guo Bin, who has been tempered for a long time, is still quite mature politically, and he quietly took a sip of the teacup, put it down gently, and said quietly: "Although Helian is dead now, Qian Man is still in the world, I don't know what Brother Yan plans to do in the future?" ”

When Yan Rou heard this, her heart was excited, and the sip of tea in her mouth almost didn't squirt out, didn't Guo Bin want to recruit himself at this time? He hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth, and said sincerely: "Helian is dead, and Qian Man doesn't want to see me very much, where is the reason for me to go back?" Seeing that Guo Bin's face remained unchanged, he hurriedly added: "Hey! Thanks to not giving up, Yan is willing to work for the Hou Xiao dogs and horses in Yangzhai County! He had already seen it, the person in front of him must be Guo Bin, did not see the Chinese martial arts of this big tent, but from beginning to end, only the young man in front of him spoke, and no one of the other military generals dared to interject? Is it the red-faced man who beheaded and even beheaded in the daytime who stood obediently to the side, only obeying orders?

Others don't know the weight of Helian, but he Yan Rou is very clear, not to mention the hussar generals and generals of the Han court, and his status is far worse than that of Helian. He Lian is the son of Tan Shihuai, and he is the heir of Da Shan Yu, which is not far from the status of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty! If one day he and Lian Zhen's Ju clan surrendered to the Han court, they would be able to be crowned kings! If you live in Beijing for a long time, although it must be just a fictitious position, in terms of name, not to mention Guo Bin, a small Yangzhai County Marquis, even if the general and hussar general come, they must avoid the way and give way.

The red-faced man was able to kill Helian, and the credit for this was not too high in the Han Dynasty, that is, from the common people to directly seal the Hou of Guannei.

Guo Bin saw this kid's single-minded appearance, not only was he not angry, but he inexplicably felt a sense of closeness, and immediately got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you have changed your evil and returned to the right, you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, where is the reason for me to refuse the door?" Speaking of this, Guo Bin intended to tease him, so he continued: "It's just that you are still a captive, you haven't made an inch, and you don't know whether what you said is true or false, how can I easily spare your life?" ”

Yan Rou smiled happily when she heard Shang Le at first, but when she heard that she still refused to spare his life, her face turned green when she landed. He could naturally hear the ridicule in Guo Bin's words, but Guo Bin, as the Marquis of Yangzhai County and the owner of so many people, how could he completely treat him as a joke? If he really can't make a contribution, Guo Bin will take pity on him and reluctantly take him in, and he will not be able to raise his head among his colleagues in the future.

Seeing Yan Rou's pale face and a cold sweat on her face, Guo Bin felt a sense of revenge. This kid has been in the Xianbei Department for a long time, and he doesn't know much about etiquette, although he is also a shrewd person, but his personality is too unruly, if he doesn't grind his temperament, he will definitely be embarrassed in the future. And if he can frustrate his sharpness at this time, and then temper it well, with his experience of living in the Xianbei Department for a long time, he may be able to use it to guard the northern frontier in the future!

Guo Bin's thoughts originally wanted to hold Yan Rou to see what else he was hiding, but he didn't expect to really grab a handful of powder.

I saw Yan Rou first pacing back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, stayed for a while, and said to Guo Bin: "Lord, if I can make the Xianbei tribes on the prairie after this battle separate and not subordinate to each other, can you buy my life?" ”

Guo Binqi said: "Oh? Tell me, what do you want to do? ”

Yan Rou's eyes lit up, he pulled the cloth shoes under his feet, and strode back and forth in the big tent, but his mouth was full of words: "If you want to talk about the root of harmony, can the lord know?" ”

Guo Bin said: "Naturally, he is a herdsman warrior under his command. ”

Yan Rou nodded and said in a loud voice, "That's true!" These herdsmen and warriors were the first to follow Tanshihuai to invade the Han Dynasty in the south, and they grazed cattle and horses by marching on weekdays, and their training was diligent and the equipment was the most sophisticated among the Xianbei clan. In addition, Tanshi Huai distributed the property plundered in the Central Plains and the excellent war horses of the various tribes of the grassland to these tribes, so their mounts were also the highest-level horses in the Xianbei tribe. Guo Bin nodded again and again.

Yan Rou didn't seem to be able to control her emotions, and still continued in a very loud voice: "These people have received the benefits of Tanshi Huai on weekdays, so they are naturally loyal to him. And although Helian is quite confused in many things, he is unambiguous in the matter of recruiting the old department of Tanshi Huai. Don't look at the fact that in the past few years of his succession, the western Xianbei has been forced to rebel, the eastern Xianbei has fallen into chaos, and there is a seemingly comparable Putou department in the central Xianbei, but as long as he takes these warriors who can conquer and fight, all of this can be recaptured! Because these people's combat effectiveness is too strong, they are not only well-trained and well-equipped, but also extremely rich in combat experience, and their fighting will is even more amazingly strong. ”

Listening to Yan Rou's words, Guo Bin's face became heavy for the first time, and before he fought with these people, their tenacity was unimaginable no matter what.

"It's just that these elite main forces are no more than 10,000 people. This southern expedition to the three outer cities was brought out by Helian. Afraid that Guo Bin would not understand, he added: "These 10,000 people, that is, the cavalry troops that followed Helian first, must have fallen into the hands of the lord." ”

Seeing Guo Bin nodding, Yan Roufang breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said, "Now that these 10,000 elites have been lost, Qian Man has reluctantly inherited the position of Helian's Dadanyu, and I am afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily." The grassland is not as good as the Central Plains, and what is paid attention to is not the set of fathers and sons, but the respect of the strong. As long as you are strong, you can unify the grassland and become the new big Danyu. ”

"Now that Helian is dead, Qianman is young, and his generals will inevitably be dissatisfied, and Yu Wangting alone has lost the 10,000 most elite iron horsemen, so Qianman actually can't turn over any storms. When it is repelled tomorrow, there will inevitably be a dispute within it before returning to Shan Yuting. Yan Judo.

Guo Bin was puzzled and said, "Oh? But in order to compete for the seat of this big single Yu? ”

Yan Rou said: "That's not it. Whenever an army is sent out to fight on the steppe, there must be a rich spoil to comfort the chiefs of the various tribes. But if the war is defeated and there is no spoils, then the chieftain who organized the war will be in great trouble. After a pause, he continued: "This expedition to the south of Helian is based on the rich goods in the three cities outside the Saiwai as the combat power, but Helian was beheaded, and the Xianbei army has no follow-up, how can we win the war?" Therefore, the chiefs of the various ministries will definitely go to Qianman for trouble afterwards, so Shan Yu will inevitably lose his vitality in the royal court, and he will no longer have the glory and appeal of the past. ”
