Chapter 1078: The Foresight of a County Order
Because of this, the Xianbei army fought, and if it wins, it will move forward, and if it loses, it will be crushed.
Perhaps only the guards under the command of Da Dan Yu have real discipline, and they will not retreat when they give an order. Tuoba Tianxia is a smart man, and he knows the advantages and disadvantages of the Xianbei army.
He led an army of 50,000 to the south, and Tuoba naturally knew that he wanted to mobilize the morale of the army, and he could only promise grain and grass, slaves and women from the Central Plains.
Wealth is moving, not to mention a beautiful woman, as the right virtuous king of Xianbei, as the third hero of the entire West Xianbei, Tuoba is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
Whether it is scheming or wisdom, he is a leader, and it is impossible to refuse to gather people's hearts in one word.
At this moment, the leaders of the other tribes, even if they knew that Tuoba would buy people's hearts and minds again, they could not do anything, because plundering the Central Plains was the only purpose of their trip.
……
After the encouragement of the Right Sage King to expand the world, the Xianbei army has completely lost its worries, and they are like tigers who have broken free from their shackles, about to show their blood.
The Xianbei army, which has no worries, is like a sleepy beast, with a shocking murderous aura, approaching Juyan.
……
"Drive!"
……
The Xianbei army is an elite iron cavalry, but in such bad weather, it still does not dare to march quickly, and the snow is falling in Liangzhou, which is far less serious than the curtain.
Even so, the heavy snow in Liangzhou not only lost the horse's hooves, but also covered the horse's knees. The falling snow has become the biggest obstacle to the advance of the Xianbei army.
In desperation, the Xianbei army had to clear the snow on the road before raiding Juyan. Invisibly, the marching speed of Tuoba World has been greatly affected.
The Qin State was extremely strict with the army, and Juyan was too close to Xianbei, so there were only 1,000 garrisons, but this garrison was not the most elite Iron Eagle Warriors.
They are merely soldiers recruited on the spot, and have not experienced war, resulting in a lack of awareness of danger. With such heavy snow and closed the city, the city gate was not closed.
Especially under the influence of the winter war in the bones of the Central Plains people, Juyan City's defense was lax, and it was far less strict than in the past.
……
In fact, this is not to blame the Qin army stationed in Juyan, such weather is not suitable for army combat at all, especially for the Central Plains army.
The cold winter, no matter what era it is, is always a problem for marching and fighting.
And the laxity of the Qin army's defense gave Tuoba the world a chance, a chance to live in Yan without blood.
……
In the county government, the county commander Cui Cheng's eyes flickered, he was originally a poor scholar, and he had no hope of getting ahead, if it weren't for Qin Gong Yingfei holding the national examination, maybe he could only be a farmer in this life.
Cui Cheng's national examination results are not outstanding, but he has just passed the passing line, otherwise he would not have come to a deserted place like Juyan to serve as a county magistrate.
But Cui Cheng didn't complain about all this, he only had gratitude in his heart, he knew in his heart that his ranking in the national examination was not high, and the biggest reason was that he had no books to read.
Becoming an official of the Qin State, even if it is just a small official in a remote place, the treatment has long been different, because there are few small people in Juyan City, Cui Cheng is not busy.
It was this ease that gave him the opportunity to study seriously, and because of this, today's Cui Cheng is no longer what it used to be.
……
"Ayi, go and invite the county lieutenant."
"No."
His eyes fell on Ayi's body, and after a long time, Cui Cheng knew in his heart that the heavy snow for half a month would definitely make the cattle and sheep on the curtain freeze to death.
And at this time, it is the most frequent stage when the alien races on the curtain go south to plunder the Central Plains and hit the grass valley. Now that the city is closed by heavy snow, it is the best time for Xianbei to go south.
Cui Cheng's eyes flickered, and there was a deep worry hidden in them, and he knew in his heart that once the Xianbei army went south, Ju Yan might not be able to hold out for long.
In the entire Juyan City, the army is only 1,000, and even if you hold the city, it is impossible to do everything. Moreover, every time Xianbei goes south, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops.
The ratio between the two sides is too large, and neither the Yancheng camp nor the Jincheng camp can quickly support in a short time.
Juyancheng is located in the middle of the Yancheng camp and the Jincheng camp, basically belonging to the two regardless of the area, once a war breaks out, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of being out of reach.
……
"Cui County Order, I don't know if you are looking for Ben ......"
After a while, Wang Lie came to the county government, due to the continuous snowfall, Wang Lie did not wear armor today, but wrapped in warm clothes, the whole person did not have the ability of a general, and a little more bloated.
The county commander and the county lieutenant are superiors and subordinates, the county commander is in charge of the government, and the county lieutenant is in charge of the army, and they are both in the remote Juyan, and the two are naturally very familiar with each other.
Therefore, Wang Lie did not wear armor and walked in directly.
……
Hearing this, Cui Cheng shook his head and smiled, he couldn't cry or laugh at this partner.
……
"It snows for half a month, and countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death on the curtain, and the official speculates that the Xianbei people will go south to plunder the Central Plains, and Juyan County is bound to bear the brunt!"
Hearing the words of the county commander Cui Cheng, Wang Lie's first reaction was impossible, but when he saw Cui Cheng's serious face, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Wang Lie is not a straw bag, otherwise he would not have become the county lieutenant of Juyan, and under the lightning of his thoughts, he knew that what Cui Cheng said was very likely to happen.
At the beginning of the battle between the curtain and the Central Plains, although the Central Plains heroes led by Qin Gong Yingfei won the battle, so that Xianbei did not dare to go south for several years.
It's just that now that the Qin State and the Six Kwantung Kingdoms are fighting, their alliance has already fallen apart and has become a cloud of smoke, which makes Xianbei lose his fear.
Moreover, this year's snow disaster was too serious, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death. This made the major tribes of Xianbei lose their last fear, because if they didn't go south, more clansmen would die.
……
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Liehu's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, looked up at Cui Cheng, and said.
"My lord, how likely do you think it is that Xianbei will go south to Juyan?"
Wang Lie knew in his heart that since Cui Cheng had mentioned it, he must have a countermeasure in his heart, otherwise he would not have let his subordinates come to him.
The two have been working together for a long time, and Wang Lie still admires Cui Cheng's vision very much, and because of this, he asked Cui Cheng.
Because as a military commander, Wang Lie knows better than Cui Cheng the horror of Xianbei's southward movement.
Marching and fighting in this weather does not have a great impact on the Xianbei army, but it has a great impact on the Qin army, Wang Lie knows in his heart that once Xianbei really goes south to fight the grass valley, he must prepare to defend the city in advance.
"General Wang, Juyan is located between Yancheng and Jincheng Daying, once the war breaks out, neither side will be able to support at the first time."
Cui Cheng looked at Wang Lie, paused word by word, and said: "If I were Xianbei Shan Yu, I would definitely send troops south to Juyan and take the opportunity to plunder the three counties of Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan."
