Yiyanbei has always believed that one day he will take the most elite soldiers and horses to kill the most savage enemies.

The Xianbei people were the most formidable enemies in the north of the Han Dynasty since the Xiongnu. Decades ago, since Tan Shihuai led his troops to conquer the grassland, established the Xianbei royal court in Gaoliu Danhan Mountain, unified the Xiongnu homeland, plundered the border counties of the Han Dynasty to the south, resisted Ding Ling in the north, repelled Fuyu in the east, and attacked Wusun in the west, occupying a vast land of 14,000 miles from east to west and 7,000 miles from north to south, becoming the most terrible enemy in the north of the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, God favored the Han people, and Tanshi Huai died in Guanghe for four years. After that, there was no Xianbei lord on the grassland who could unify the various departments. The once-powerful tribal alliance is falling apart, fighting for its own interests. But in the twelfth year after that, the Xianbei people formed an alliance again at the initiative of the eastern lord Micah and the central lord Kebineng...... The terrifying tribal alliance in the northern steppes of the Han Dynasty was formed again, and their purpose was to attack the northern part of the Han Dynasty.

The land under the protection of Yanbei.

On the first day of leading the people to arrive in Jixian County, he left the state capital of Youzhou, which had been in Youzhou for more than a year, and sent letters to various places to guard the border, and sent Yan Rou and other new captains to guard the border of Shanggu, Daijun, and Yuyang counties.

"This time, the central and eastern parts of Xianbei reunited and invaded the south. We are state generals, and we have the responsibility of defending the territory, and you are not allowed to carry them, even if there are millions of enemies, it is difficult to stop me from working together, and it is no more than 300,000! Yanbei received the Xianbei Central Lord Kebi Neng also gathered troops and horses, so he prepared for the worst in Youzhou, "The enemy army is very heavy, we can't be defeated, we should win and win." The situation is not in my favor, and the only one who depends on me is the strength of the city. ”

Yan Bei said, stopped talking, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia who looked down. The situation was too unfavorable for them, and in the face of the joint efforts of the Xianbei and the two divisions, it was conservatively estimated that the total number of enemy troops attacking and harassing various places under the full mobilization of Xianbei should not be less than 130,000, and of course not more than 200,000 at most.

However, the Han troops that can be mobilized in the entire Youzhou are only about 50,000 to 60,000, and they are still distributed in ten counties and one country on the state border, so it is even more difficult to form a situation of fighting more and fighting less locally.

"General, what is victory, what is victory?"

There was a military attache in the hall who asked, Xianbei went south, and the people of Qingye in various places avoided the city, but they only wanted to avoid this disaster, and the people of the state were almost speechless. When the former general arrived from Jizhou at the beginning of the year, he was ashamed to say that he wanted to defeat and win...... Is it possible to give up the only advantage and concentrate troops out of the city to fight with the Xianbei army in the field? It's just a way to die!

There are not a few people in the states and counties who think so. Yanbei's policy of giving Ji grain to Ji in the last year has made the hearts of the people of Youzhou repeated. It is true that they knew that Yanbei was to conquer and annex Qing Erzhou, but in their opinion, the great cause of Yanbei was not the great cause of everyone.

And now it is not safe to face Xianbei.

People would rather be trapped in the city than go out to fight. Because this is too unsafe for them, the Xianbei people always have to retreat, and now there is not much money and food left outside the city, even if they don't resist, what they lose is only the grain route to Jizhou...... Isn't that great?

There is no need to give food to Jizhou, and the Xianbei people do not dare to attack the city, at most destroy some fields, and in the end they are still peaceful. The people and soldiers will not be killed or wounded, and money, grain, and grass will not be lost.

At most, Yanbei's abacus of conquering Qinghe and Erzhou failed, what does this have to do with the people of Youzhou, who cares about this?

"To win is to win the battle. Although the enemy army has 300,000 people, what we need to face is not a 300,000 army, but to find the weak point of the enemy army on the battlefield that stretches thousands of miles, and defeat several of its elites with more superior soldiers and horses, so as to shock their hearts. Although Youzhou is large, there is no place where 300,000 troops can be encamped. ”

After a hundred battles, Yan Bei's judgment of the battle situation has long been different from what it used to be, what he wants to fight is not 300,000, but the headquarters of Kebi Neng and Mika, as long as they defeat them, everyone in those Xianbei tribes who follow the crowd is in danger, not to mention that the Han countryside does not have the baggage that can provide them with a long time to wander, so they can disperse on their own.

"As for victory, the enemy army forms an alliance, and there are many followers. We should stir up chaos among their friends, take advantage of the situation when they are empty, and defeat them in one fell swoop when their power is exhausted. Strangling its alliances. ”

When it came to strangulation, Yan Bei's palm was clenched. Not to mention interrupting Yanbei's covetousness towards Henan and other places, the Xianbei people on the grassland alone are allied again, which is enough to make Yanbei vigilant. He didn't want the Northern Captives to form a unified country or alliance, and it was best for them to remain weak and chaotic forever, which was in the interests of the Yan Clan.

"General, the old man's words may offend you in a thoughtful way, but at present, the pioneers of the Xianbei tribes have entered the northern counties of Youzhou, and the backup army is also on the way, they know that we are in the city, but we do not know where they are gathering troops and horses. If you want to defend the city, it is better to say, if you want to wait for the opportunity to meet the enemy, is it not like a pedestrian who is surrounded by wild beasts at night blindfolded himself? It was Zhuojun Cheng Cheng who spoke, who was engaged in Youzhou in the past Liu Yu's era, who used to be in power and is now old, sighing on crutches and asking Yanbei: "Isn't this a way to bring about your own destruction?" ”

Xianbei Koubian, Youzhou Don't drive Xun Yue to recruit the township Yong 1,200 in Zhuo County in the south of Youzhou, and the leader is Zhuo County Ling Xu Miao and Zhuo County Cheng Cheng continued.

Yanbei had gradually felt that the middle- and lower-level officials in the counties of Youzhou Prefecture did not seem to be willing to support his decision to face Xianbei. It's not that they're against themselves, it's that they're worried that their decision to fight with Xianbei will cost them their original security...... Once their own army is defeated, it will boost the arrogance of the Xianbei people, make them ambitious to expand their attack on the city, and then they will add many unwarranted casualties.

"Don't worry, the movements of the Xianbei people have their own ears and eyes to investigate, and Yan will not rush to send troops before there is clear news." Yan Bei said this, and the officials of Youzhou in the hall were satisfied with this, and Cheng Xu hugged his fists and said: "Please don't act rashly before the general comes up with a perfect plan, Youzhou can't afford to risk himself." ”

Yan Bei smiled and nodded, but he didn't think so. The decline of the Han Dynasty is not without reason, the states do not care whether the state lives or dies, the counties do not care whether the county lives or dies, when the prestige of the court is repeatedly frustrated, the counties and states fight their own battles, and the strength cannot be unified with the outside world, such a court is not even comparable to the Xianbei of the tribal alliance in the Tanshihuai era!

Even if he is as strong as him, he has to take into account the opinions of the people of the state, and the two states of Youji still cannot be completely coherent into a whole, not to mention the imperial court.

However, when the state capital was at an impasse, a war report from Liaodong turned the tide.

"General! Liaodong Taishou battle report, outside Xiangping City, defeated the Xianbei eastern leader Que Jisuo led thousands of people, and killed more than a thousand! ”
