Chapter 402: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
Liu Fan was furious, gritting his teeth and hating.
After the Southern Xiongnu shield exited the Yellow River, it should have migrated to the north of Helan Mountain and the Ulan Bu and desert area, or a little more westward to the north of Qilian Mountain.
Originally, the Southern Xiongnu could no longer pose a threat to Liu Fan. Even if the Southern Xiongnu crossed the Yellow River and went to the desert, it would be none of Liu Fan's business.
But now, Liu Fan is on an expedition to Xianbei in the west, and the battle line has been stretched for thousands of miles.
This front blocked the way for the Southern Xiongnu to go north to Mobei.
Even the Southern Xiongnu rode north to find traces of the Han army.
Xun You got the news that Liu Fan went to Xianbei in the west. As soon as I put it in my heart, I thought of the Southern Huns.
There were nearly 30,000 cavalry in the Southern Xiongnu, and there were also 30,000 cavalry in the other parts of the Southern Xiongnu.
This is not a small amount, if the Southern Xiongnu launch a ruthless attack, it will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to the Han army.
"The world is changing, and we have to guard against it. If the Southern Xiongnu went north, the people who transported the baggage would be in danger. ”
Soldiers, national affairs, the way of life and death, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.
Only by planning and then acting can we achieve victory without a fight.
In order to protect the passage and not run out of food, a large number of soldiers and horses must be used to contain the Southern Xiongnu.
The Southern Xiongnu united with the Qiang and Qiang tribes with more than 50,000 cavalry, and to defeat these more than 50,000 cavalry, for the sake of safety, 50,000 cavalry must also be dispatched.
But Liu Fan definitely can't transfer 50,000 cavalry, and it is difficult to transfer 30,000 cavalry.
Because his main purpose is the western Xianbei. It's not just because of rescuing Guan Yu.
It is also to take advantage of the great injury of Xianbei in the west to solve the troubles.
The Japanese law deduces that he claims to be Shan Yu and does things that are arrogant, which is Liu Fan's great enemy. Only iron and blood can make Xianbei understand that those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away.
"General Yu, the hundred-legged insect of the Southern Huns, dead but not stiff, there are tens of thousands of horses. But it is a dead army, so there is nothing to worry about. Just knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. ”
The lieutenant under his command offered advice to Liu Fan.
Liu Fan looked straight at it, this person's name was Lin Rui, and he was a cavalry captain under Jilu Saiguan Yu.
Liu Fan knew him and wanted to hear him finish speaking, so he asked, "Please tell me the details."
"I thought that I could send an order to the three generals Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu to suspend the march and station the army on the main road where the Southern Xiongnu might go north. The flag covers the sky and the sun, and the company camp is dozens of miles. In just three days, regardless of whether the Southern Xiongnu went north or not, our army could be discovered. The Southern Xiongnu fled because of our army, how could they meet the main force of our army and fight? Deter the enemy with great force, so that the enemy is afraid and does not dare to look north for a short time. ”
Lin Rui carefully revealed his inner plan to Liu Fan.
"It's a lot of time, but it's a good idea. Feasible. ”
Liu Fan nodded and praised.
Three stinky generals, a Zhuge Liang.
If there are different opinions, it will be good and useful. The wisdom of any one cannot be ignored.
An negligence, you can't think of it, he can't think of it, another person must think of it.
Although Liu Fan didn't know that Luan Ti Qiangqu was dead, in Liu Fan's heart, whether it was Luan Ti Qiangqu or Yu Fuluo, they were all fierce and stubble, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
The sword and the gun showed their strength, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. The Xiongnu were not monolithic, the Xiongnu suffered heavy casualties, and there were no casualties in other departments.
In this case, the Huns did not dare to fight to the death, and if they were not careful, they might be dominated by anti-guests.
"Chuan Wu ordered to find the main force of Xu Huang's army, and after finding it, he ordered Xu Huang and Huang Zhong's army to retreat to the east of Junji Mountain and stationed on the road that must be passed on the edge of the desert. Another scout was sent to inspect the area around Helan Mountain. The Southern Xiongnu should have crossed the Yellow River and attracted enemy scouts with their own scouts. Armies are often deployed to create turmoil. If the Xiongnu should fight, they can cooperate with the Modao Army to annihilate the Xiongnu. If the Xiongnu should not, three days later, 10,000 cavalry will be left to protect the desert grain route. The rest comes from here. ”
Liu Fan gave the order to the herald.
After giving the order, Liu Fan continued to stare at the map.
Southern Huns! It is also a hidden danger.
It's not that he didn't think about leading the soldiers and horses to break the Southern Xiongnu first, but the rabbit will bite people when he is in a hurry, not to mention tens of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people.
If the Southern Xiongnu found a dangerous place to defend in the high mountains and deserts, it would be another protracted war.
"After defeating the Xianbei in the west, whether to raise the army again to attack the Southern Xiongnu with all its might. Solve this hidden danger once and for all. Liu Fan muttered to himself.
Finally shook his head: "Alas! It's already November, and time is running out! After this war, the army needs to recover, otherwise it will not be able to take the initiative when it moves south. ”
After this battle, he asked the leaders of the various tribes of the steppe to go to Yanmen to sit down, including the Xiongnu.
He wants to see, what is their attitude? Do you dare to have a temper? Do you dare to come?
Now it has completed the defeat of the Xiongnu, expelled the Xiongnu from the Yellow River, defeated the eastern Xianbei, and defeated the western Xianbei. It's just this last step to break through the western Xianbei.
……
Three days later, the southeast of Junji Mountain.
Two days ago, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others received an order from Liu Fan. Today, we arrived at the destination that had been explored by the scouts in advance.
It is the remnant of the Qilian Mountains to the south and the Helan Mountains to the southeast.
The desert is in the west, and the desert gap is also in the east. If most of the Southern Xiongnu migrate, they must pass through here.
"Our army is strong and strong, and the morale is strong, why don't the generals let us destroy the Southern Huns?"
Xu Chu carried the Mo knife and asked Xu Huang.
"A long time of fierce battles will definitely be able to break the Southern Xiongnu. But it takes time! Xu Huang said to Xu Chu.
Xu Huang knew that the lord was in a hurry to attack the west. Rescue Guan Yu. The Southern Xiongnu are not currently in the eyes of the Lord.
"Where the sword army goes, the people are all broken. With the army, how many can the Hun cavalry be? ”
Xu Chu didn't take Hu Ren in his eyes at all. That battle had already given him a monstrous self-confidence.
"Zhong Kang is brave, and the soldiers of the Modao Army are fighting. The Kemo Sword Army is an infantry soldier who is good at the battle of the plains. This Helan Mountain and Qilian Mountain are both mountains, if Xianbei guards the mountains and rivers, it will be a protracted war. ”
Xu Huang's face was calm, and he explained to Xu Chu calmly.
"I see." Xu Chu nodded.
The lord was angry and raised the teacher, just to answer Guan Yu. It's impossible to lose a big deal because of a small thing.
"Garrison the fortified camp. Send scouts to the south. As soon as there is a movement, report it immediately. ”
On the other side, Huang Zhong has already begun to make arrangements.
A team of scouts went south in batches to inquire about the news, thinking that they were hundreds of miles away.
……
On the desert hundreds of miles south of Xu Huang's army, a tribal army was slowly heading north.
There is a saying called the tree falls and the monkey is scattered, and now it has been fulfilled in the Southern Xiongnu.
It took Yu Fuluo more than half a month to cross the Yellow River in fear.
After crossing the Yellow River, Yu Fuluo had a disagreement with the leaders of the Qiang and Qiang tribes.
The Qiang people insisted on staying in the north of Helan Mountain.
The Qiang people believe that this place is still unsafe, and they have to go into the desert to find a way out.
But Yu Fuluo wanted to hide in the desert oasis in the remnants of the Qilian Mountains, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
