"Bastard!"

Kirby was able to sit on his horse and yelled angrily.

This blow is not a small blow for him, the loss of a few hundred people is still secondary, and once the image of invincibility is damaged, it will take great efforts to redeem it.

No one wants to follow a leader who often loses battles, and only a leader who often leads them to victory will be welcomed by everyone.

Originally, Kirby could indeed be this image, but when he encountered the army of Liaodong, he suffered a few losses, although they were all small losses, no big deal, but the proud Kirby could not allow his image to be damaged, and he must use the blood of the enemy to wash away this shame.

Unlike Kirbyneng, Ye Chen and their side were all overjoyed, and they were worried about destroying these barbed wire just now, but now the other party was killed and injured by their own rain of arrows.

King Qiao was also sure that at this speed, they could completely hold back the Xianbei army, and their own tribesmen could reach the place safely.

As long as there is enough population, the king of the cliff can make a comeback at that time, and if there is no population, then he is nothing.

The Xianbei army retreated first, there was no way to deal with this formation, and staying would only make the Han army on the opposite side laugh, and it would further hit their own morale.

It's getting late, everyone is very tired, last night broke through, today is another day of fighting, although today is very easy, but also not a good rest.

Ye Chen asked one team to rest on the high ground, and the others went to the rear to camp and rest.

"Lord Ye, admire and admire." When he arrived at the camp, the King of Cliffs came to the door, and as soon as he entered, he spoke loudly.

"Haha, thank you King Qiao, this has more to do with the grassland, and there will naturally be more ideas." Ye Chen was also not polite, and responded directly, but his words made King Qiao uncomfortable.

This has a lot to do with the grassland, doesn't it mean that there is a lot of war with Wuhuan? Ye Chen and the others fought with the Huns once, and the others fought with the Wuhuan.

King Qiao understood that this was Ye Chen beating Wuhuan again, and it seemed that Ye Chen already had the intention of annexing Wuhuan.

"Hmph, when Xianbei is driven away, I will take people to the grassland, who can help me when the time comes." King Qiao secretly snorted coldly in his heart.

Next, the king of the cliff and Ye Chen had a trick before leaving, and after the king left, Ye Chen called Zheng Bai, as well as Tai Shici and Guan Yu.

"Zheng Bai, you know Wuhuan better, you can evaluate how much combat power Wuhuan still has." A few people sat down, and Ye Chen asked.

Zheng Bai thought for a while and said: "There are only five thousand elite soldiers at most, and some soldiers with combat strength can only make up three or four thousand. ”

The elite soldiers fought with Xianbei, and the losses were too great, and Wuhuan already had a feeling of twilight in the western mountains, although the population was quite large, there were not many young and strong.

"Big brother, Yun Chang, when arranging the battle, the soldiers of Wuhuan are also the same as our escort battalion, half of our people, half of their people."

Guan Yu and Tai Shici glanced at each other, and they both understood Ye Chen's thoughts, in fact, this strategy was formulated a few years ago, but Xianbei attacked and gave them a better chance.

"Second brother, are you planning to swallow Wu Huan?"

"No, it won't do us much good to swallow them, I'm going to make them our vassals and continue to help us sell things on the grassland, but then the initiative will be in our hands."

Swallowing Wuhuan can indeed increase the population of Liaodong, which is already not very populous, by a lot, but these people can't farm, and Liaodong is not suitable for grazing, and Wuhuan plays the role of a relationship with the grassland, so let them continue to maintain this relationship.

It's just that Ye Chen plans to dismember Wuhuan and not let anyone control all the Wuhuan, so that a single Wuhuan leader is not strong, and he can only rely on Ye Chen, so it is easy to control.

If you want to completely control them, you have to further weaken their strength, although Wu Huan's current strength is already very weak, and it is no longer comparable to Liaodong, but their current strength, let them surrender, they will definitely be unwilling.

When their strength is further weakened, even if Ye Chen doesn't say it, they will beg Ye Chen to accept them, otherwise they will be annexed by other ethnic groups in the grassland, and they can't survive without strength on the grassland.

And in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Wuhuan people, Ye Chen arranged the troops more fairly, half and half, so that Wuhuan had nothing to say.

The strategy is set, but this is a long-term process, and weakening Wuhuan is also slow.

The next day, early in the morning, the escort battalion began to assemble in high spirits, shouting slogans and lining up.

And on the Wuhuan side, when did they get up early, especially after trading with Liaodong, they lived a rich life, so they didn't want to get up early to get busy.

The movement of the escort battalion naturally woke up the Wuhuan people, and they got up tired one by one, scolding and swearing in their mouths.

When they came out of the tent, they found that the escort battalion was already neatly lined up and in high spirits.

"Drink, drink, drink~"

At the beginning of the morning exercise, there was no need to get up and exercise in the morning in the battle, but in order to show his strong military strength, Ye Chen deliberately let the guard battalion get up and exercise in the morning, and today's battle was relatively easy, even if Xianbei broke their formation, there were still several lines of defense behind.

Many Wuhuan cavalry were very curious and came out to see.

"Wow, they're so well armed."

"Yes, look at the armor, look at the luster, as if it were made of steel."

"Yes, the Han people have craftsmen, but it's a pity that we don't have craftsmen and can't make this armor."

"Well, you see, they move so neatly, like a person."

“......”

A group of Wuhuan warriors surrounded the escort camp and told stories there, and the king of the cliff was furious when he heard it, because the Wuhuan warriors were full of envy and appreciation.

This is a dangerous signal, if the Wuhuan warriors set up a very strong image of the Liaodong army in their hearts, then they will be passive everywhere in the future, and the grassland believes in strength.

Now that Liaodong is showing strength that is stronger than them, then it is possible for them to bow to Liaodong.

But King Qiao was helpless, now that he was under the fence, in front of Liaodong, he would never dare to scold his subordinates, and he would not be able to deal with it later, so he could only try to separate them from Liaodong's army in the future.

King Qiao really couldn't stand it, because he saw that the army in Liaodong was really strong, and in terms of momentum, equipment, and training, it was not the same level as Wuhuan, and the praise of Wuhuan soldiers came into his ears from time to time, which made him very uncomfortable.

Ye Chen also discovered all this, which he had planned after discussing with a few people last night.

Showing off force is for deterrence, but also for showing force, so that some Wuhuan people are afraid of it, and then the two sides cooperate in the battle, not only can play a dominant role, but the other party does not dare not cooperate.
