Chapter 77: Take the Second County lightly
The autumn wind is bleak, the flood waves are surging, gargling the waterfront, looking at the turbulent river, and Lian's heart is a little empty, and he doesn't know how to deal with himself. Pu Tou and the others should have been killed directly at the beginning, otherwise how could there be such a disaster, and Lian roared angrily in his heart.
When I came back to my senses, I was depressed, resentful, and fearful...... All kinds of emotions constantly flashed in the depths of the pupils. Even Tanshi Huai dared to kill, all these years he would let Pu Tou and others live against him until now, with red eyes and a strong desire to destroy the world and torture all enemies in his chest.
However, thinking of Xianbei's current situation, I can't help but feel extremely depressed, and no matter how mediocre I am, I can deeply understand the danger of my situation. After the defeat of the Western Expedition, he had lost the biggest support within Xianbei, and with the rebellion of Putou and others, he was like an abyss.
Originally, there was no popular support among the Xianbei tribesmen, and he lost the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and he was a lost dog. "Shan Yu, what should we do now?" A close general approached Helian and asked in fear.
He Lian was also a little at a loss when asked, he had already lost his square inch, where else could his brain make any judgments and decisions. A middle-aged Xianbei nobleman with a gray face rushed to Helian's side: "Shan Yu, for the sake of today's plan, you can't hesitate, you should quickly send troops, rush to Danhan Mountain, and take advantage of the undecided situation of the thieves in Putou to recapture the royal court!" Otherwise, if it is delayed for a while, and when it stabilizes, we will not have a chance to recover! ”
Hearing this, He Lian was a little moved, and a brilliance crossed his eyes, as long as he could recapture the royal court, he would be able to turn the tables! Looking at the familiar old minister in front of him, he saw that he was in tatters and tired, a little unnatural, and his face was a little hot.
The embarrassment of "regretting not listening to the words of loyal ministers" filled his heart, and there was a feeling of "the road knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people over time". He Lian hesitated a little and asked worriedly: "After this great defeat, we have lost seven or eight out of ten of our troops, and we have withdrawn all the way, our soldiers are tired, our army is discouraged, and we have no combat strength. Putou bewitched his subordinates in the royal court, and used Yi to do the work instead, and I used this remnant army to rush there, isn't it too risky!"
When the old minister heard this, he almost didn't take a breath, at this time, he even considered the question of whether to take risks, and why not to consider it when he forcibly marched west.
"Shan Yu, the soldiers are fast, the time is not in the enemy. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to me, the sooner I march, and the sooner I will fight, I will have a chance to fight for my life, otherwise I will only be defeated!"
Listening to the bitter persuasion, He Lian was even more unmoved, regardless of his disappointed expression, he made up his mind: "Let's take a look at the situation again, let the soldiers rest well, and then act!" ”
"Shan Yu!"
After not listening to his "verbosity", and Lian ordered to rest. He Lian intends to wait, but the reality will not give him a little time, the remnants of his defeated army have long been dissatisfied with him, and he has no means to stabilize the morale of the army.
That night, many soldiers fled, which hit Helian again, but in one day, more than 2,000 soldiers fled. Many soldiers simply went to Danhan Mountain to surrender, and Lian was helpless, lacking confidence to take the remnants of the army without the heart of fighting, his last bargaining chip, attacked the royal court, and fought desperately.
If you are defeated, you will die without a place to be buried; The chances are slim.
……
Stepping into Cloud City again, Liu Yuan was very emotional, in this north, Cloud is a rare big city. It has a long history and many military facilities, although it has been destroyed by Xianbei, but with a little repair, it is the key to the north gate with strong defense.
When Helian Wuzhi pursued deep westward, even if he did not receive news from the north, Liu Yuan decisively ordered to go north. Nearly 40,000 Xiongnu troops, a total of only three, four, five Xianbei tribes in Wuyuan Yunzhong grazing among them, weak troops, how can it be the opponent of the wolf-like Hun army.
Without much effort, Yunzhong was taken down as a whole, and the Xianbei people had nowhere to flee, and they were all captured and annexed. Brushing off the moss on the women's wall, Liu Yuan said to the Han general who was waiting next to him: "Wang De, next, you are responsible for the repair and sorting of the city in the clouds, and make it a base for our army to continue to attack Xianbei in the north!" ”
"No!" Wang De honestly obeyed. This time, he led his Han army to go out with the army. In recent years, Liu Yuan has recruited many Han people to join the army, more than 3,000 people, and the army is dispatched, Liu Yuan does not dare to leave such a "Han army" in Meiji.
Looking at the empty city, Liu Yuan sighed, he had to move some people to fill it, and the Han people in Meiji could divert some to the north to resettle. Around the clouds, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and it is suitable for farming and grazing, if it is only used as a military fortress, it is wasted.
After taking Yunzhong, Liu Yuan thought about developing well, and with Xianbei's current situation, Liu Yuan didn't have to worry about its threat. The cities, land, rivers, and tribes, if they develop well for a period of time, will definitely accelerate the development of the Xiongnu's strength.
Those Han captives in the hands of the Xianbei people can be the first to be arranged to cultivate in Yunzhong County, Liu Yuan thought carefully in his heart.
"What's going on with the Xianbei people?" Liu Yuan turned his head and asked Helan Dangfu.
With a smile on his face, Helan Dangfu replied: "Xianbei has been completely messed up, Putou and Fu Luohan used Qian Man as puppets, and Lian Xian was defeated, and there was this major change in the country, and he has become a lost dog." With Helian's ability, I'm afraid it's not far from defeat! ”
Nodding and pinching his chin, Liu Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of mockery, and Lian, a fool and fool, holding such a good card, actually played this ending. The separatist turmoil in Xianbei is completely inevitable.
"What is the reaction of Yanmen Taishou Guo Yi?" Asked lightly. When Liu Yuan sent troops, he sent an envoy to Guo Yi with great "sincerity" and invited him to hunt Xianbei together.
"Haha!" Helan Dangfu said with a smile: "Da Dan is as expected, Guo Yi is steady and honestly invited, but he hesitates." Unable to find out the details of our army, instead of refusing our army's invitation, he ordered to be on guard. ”
"If Guo Yi really sent an army, then Shan Yu wanted to annex Wuyuan Yunzhong, but I am afraid that it would take a little more effort. Let it be guarded in Yanmen, and we will cut the meat from Xianbei! Liu Yuan clenched his right fist, quite excited.
Looking at the north, Liu Yuan's eyes showed blazing ambition, and he ordered: "Summons the order of Subu Chiyi, clear the Xianbei in Wuyuan County as soon as possible, and then go east to merge with the north out of the clouds." Xianbei is in chaos, my Huns' opportunity has come, how can I miss this excitement. In the five plains and clouds, it can't be satisfied, and the soldiers should think about making more military exploits! ”
"No!" Helan Dangfu replied fiercely. He has been in the northern Xiongnu nest for so many years, and taking advantage of this expedition to Xianbei, it is the opportunity for him to establish meritorious deeds and a shame, and he wants to return to the Meiji royal court with his eyebrows raised.
Xianbei is not far from declining, and the grassland will usher in the era of the Xiongnu, the era of Liu Yuan!
