Chapter 261: The Battle of the Outside of Cyprus (29)
According to Guo Bin's assumption, the person who replaces the top cylinder in the three cities outside the Saiwai must first have the ability to top the cylinder, and secondly, he must be willing to top the cylinder, that is, he is unwilling, at least he can't get rid of it, that is to say, he must have the reason why he has to hold a cylinder.
Guo Bin, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and other think tanks, although their understanding of the customs of the Xianbei people is not as good as that of Yan Rou, but their understanding of people's hearts, their familiarity with political struggles, and their understanding of the art of vertical and horizontal will naturally throw Yan Rou off several streets.
This matter had already been decided as early as when Guo Bin was still in the three cities outside the Saiwai. That is Fu Luohan's brother, the only Putou Shan Yu in Central Xianbei who can break his wrist with Helian.
Pu Tou Shan is the nephew of Helian, and he is the grandson of Da Shan Yu Tanshi Huai, and there is no need to mention the dignity of his bloodline and status on the grassland. Putou Shan Yu's father, that is, Brother He Lian, was also a strong contender for the position of Da Shan Yu during his lifetime, so the rumors that have been circulating on the grassland that Brother He Lian killed his brother to succeed to the throne also have quite a few believers. The so-called groundless wind may not be without a reason!
However, rumors are rumors after all, even if the two sides fight each other because of the competition for the position of Da Dan Yu, the other tribes can only watch the excitement. Why? It's like when an old man dies in the countryside, two brothers divide the family property. Both of them want to get a little more, so naturally there will be conflicts, and the neighbors will come forward to persuade them to fight, and they will go to fight, but I have never seen a neighbor with a shovel to help his brother beat his brother.
The same is true of the position of Da Dan Yu, which represents not only honor and fame, but more importantly, a series of important resources that determine the strength of the tribe, such as the tribe, livestock, pastures, and water sources. Whoever has the title of Da Shan Yu will obtain most of the property purchased by Tanshi Huai during his lifetime, and will develop the tribe more smoothly and become the de facto king of the grassland. Therefore, this position of Da Shan Yu is extremely important for every descendant of Tanshi Huai, if it is according to the patriarchal system of the Central Plains, they are all "royal families".
Therefore, if Putou can stand up, then the matter of killing Helian in the three cities outside the Saiwai can be carried down. Because it was a war caused by two brothers fighting for ancestral property, the various tribes of the grassland would only persuade each other, but they would not really send troops to help either side, so the so-called risk of challenging the entire Xianbei clan caused by the killing of Helian in the three cities outside the Saiwai City disappeared in this way. It's not Guo Bin's instigation, but such a meaningless hostile state is meaningless for the survival and development of the three cities outside the Saiwai.
At the beginning, Guo Bin met with Fu Luohan and asked him to quickly return to the tribe to persuade Putou, for this matter. Guo Bin believes that as long as Putou is not a dumbfounder, he can't refuse this kind of good thing that doesn't require much effort on his own, but the rate of return is amazingly large.
Of course, at that time, it was not possible to predict such a big victory as it is now, Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai's original idea was to hold back the Helian army in the Thang Long Valley, frustrate its spirit, and then stick to the three outer cities of the fortress, so that they could stop the city for a long time. There were no villages and tribes to plunder in this vicinity, and after a long time, the Xianbei army had no supplies and no hope of success, and Helian had no choice but to withdraw.
When Helian withdrew the army, Guo Bin helped Putou up again, and used his identity as a grandson of Tanshi Huai Shan Yu to question the legitimacy of Helian Da Danyu, and through a letter of policy from the Han court, Jin Feng Putou was Xianbei Da Shan Yu, so the defeated and frustrated Helian Department did not have the leisure to come to harass under the pressure of Putou Department. After all, Putou has the support of the three cities outside the Saiwai, and the help of the western Xianbei, who has a good relationship with him, and Helian is a big Danyu, and there is no way to take him.
Therefore, Putou is the person who has both the ability to withstand the cylinder, and the need and necessity to top the cylinder. Because once he gained the support of the Han court and sat on the seat of Xianbei Dadanyu, although it was impossible to obtain the subordinates and grasslands that he inherited at the beginning, it would not help much in the short term in terms of strength, but when he connected and befriended the Xianbei tribes, it would be more legally legitimate. Of course, this is a great help for the Putou Department to make friends with Xianbei in the west through trade, and to merge with the surrounding small tribes.
However, Guo Bin couldn't watch Putou develop into the second Helian, so he didn't think about killing Helian or severely invading the three cities outside the Saiwai, the consideration of strength is of course an extremely important aspect, and the balance of Putou's department is also a factor that has to be considered. Now that He Lian is dead, the pressure on Putou is naturally much less, and Guo Bin is more and more confident in the control of the Xianbei tribes on the grassland.
Just thinking about it all the way, I unconsciously arrived at a distance of twenty miles from the three cities outside the Saiwai. Listening to Su Shuang's coming to speak, Guo Binfang came back to his senses. Now that the army has gone through the Battle of Shenglong Valley and has the actual combat experience of the large corps, it naturally does not have much pressure when facing the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry that is much inferior to the elite of the company in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment.
At the same time that Guo Bin was reminded by Su Shuang, the Xianbei people besieging the city also got the news that a group of nearly 10,000 Han soldiers had arrived from the north. This news naturally frightened the leaders of the various departments who joined the "coalition army", because the direction of the Han army was Thang Long Valley, and it was expected that Dadan Yu and Lian should have gone south from that road.
"What's going on? Why did the Han troops appear in the direction of Shenglong Valley? ”
"That's right, and I heard that these nearly 10,000 Han troops are all one person and two horses, and they are even more helmets and armor, holding steel guns, and the equipment around them is not inferior to the 10,000 elites under the command of Da Dan!"
"How the hell did this force come about? How did I hear that on the handsome banner he was waving, it was actually a Han general? ”
"I've also heard that the word 'Guo' is written on the handsome flag, whose troops are you talking about?"
"What? Outer part? Mo is not the city lord of the three cities outside the Saiwai, that Guo Bin is here? Isn't he in the Central Plains? How did you come to the grassland? Now that the Taiping Road is in trouble, the Yellow Turban Army is attacking Chengluo County, and the entire Central Plains is being disturbed, how could the emperor of the Han family send him to outside the Saiwai? ”
"You don't know that, do you? I heard that the three cities outside the Saiwai were not built by the Han emperor, but this Zhuang courtyard built by Guo Bin privately, which was his private property. Come to inspect your private property, where do you need to report to the emperor? You went to attack the beggars, and swallowed up their pastures and women, didn't you and never mention it to Da Danyu? ”
"Li'er is such a reason, but the Han people have always been rigid, he is so bold and reckless, the emperor of the Han people can tolerate him?"
"Don't underestimate this Guo Bin, I heard that he has a great reputation in the Central Plains, do you know Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road in the Central Plains?"
"Great sages? So how could I not know? But now that the Taiping Road has failed, I think that's the case, and the characters are doing well, right? ”
"Hey, are you doing well? He's dead! I heard that he died at the hands of this Guo Bin! ”
Suddenly, a group of Xianbei chieftains let out a burst of exclamations, it was Zhang Jiao here, I am afraid that he would not have imagined that he was among these Xianbei people in northern Xinjiang, and he also had a great reputation, right? And looking at the chiefs of the various tribes who were talking to each other and did not put themselves in the eyes of the commander of the army who was a big single and pro-sealed, Ke Buer also felt a headache.
The instigator of this battle was Helian, and now it should have been in the direction of Helian, and there was a Han army, not only the chieftains of this group of various departments whispered, but Ke Buer couldn't help but muttered in his heart. The appearance of these 10,000 well-equipped Han soldiers is really too unreasonable.
The distance between the two armies gradually approached, and the Xianbei people sent 5,000 cavalry to stop Guo Bin's troops from setting up camp, but they were stopped by the archers who were holding longbows and had already dismounted and waiting. Among Guo Bin's subordinates, the riding skills are still passable, plus the 700 parts that have followed him in the southern and northern wars, there are only 2,000 people, and the most elite 700 parts of the riding skills are far from the ordinary soldiers in the Xianbei army.
However, the strength of the Han soldiers is not in their riding skills, but in the super high defense power produced by their excellent armor and the super attack power brought by sophisticated weapons.
If the eagle is large enough, it will naturally be able to endure severe pain and catch the hedgehog into the sky, and then make it fall freely, fall from the sky and fall to his death; But if the hedgehog is too large, the eagle will not be able to catch it if it wants to, but it will be stabbed all over the body, but there is still no way to hold the hedgehog.
However, in both cases, in either case, the eagle is in the driver's seat, it comes and goes freely, and is free to choose the moment to enter the battlefield, which the hedgehog does not have. The Xianbei people are fast, although they dare not attack the well-defended Han army formation, but if they want to escape, the Han army will also take the slightest way from them. At the same time, the Han army can also take advantage of its own thorns and the enemy's dare not fight hard, and gradually compress the opponent's living space, so as to overwhelm the opponent in the momentum.
The Xianbei general who led the army was angry when he saw that he couldn't attack the Han army, but if he withdrew like this, it would be too shameless. At that moment, he looked back and said, "Can anyone dare to kill the flag and capture the flag?" ”
With his shout, a Xianbei general armed with a big sword rode out and rushed towards the Han army with a roar.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was itchy for a while, instigated the war horse under his crotch, and greeted him. Seeing the other party slashing at him, Guan Yu did not dodge or dodge, but only pasted the back of the Qinglong Yanyue knife on the handle of the opponent's knife, and then dragged the long knife back, flipped his wrist, and took advantage of the wrong horse to cut it off the horse. For a while, enthusiastic shouts and cheers erupted in the Han family's army at the same time, obviously killing and killing Helian made Guan Yu's prestige in the army rise a lot.
And the Xianbei army couldn't help but gasp, the two sides faced each other, and if they were not together, their generals were cut off the horse, which was too big a blow to the morale of the army. When he landed, another military general holding a horse lance flew out of the Xianbei array. Zhang Fei, who was sweeping the formation for Guan Yu on the side, saw it, roared the tiger, waved the Zhangba snake spear and went towards the man, and in only three rounds, he stabbed him off the horse.
The Xianbei army was in an uproar.
