Chapter 198: Don't even think about running
Faced with the coming of death, everyone's reaction is different, some kneel and beg for mercy, some face it calmly, and some rise up to resist. Breaking through the two encirclement nets of the Han army, there were only more than ten horsemen left on Kebineng's side, and Kebineng rode the horses contributed by his personal guards, looking at the Han army who were waiting for him, knowing that with his situation at this time, it could only be wishful thinking to successfully break through.
Thinking of the high-spirited people who went south, burning and looting all the way, the feeling of waving people's heads to the ground and holding the power of life and death in the hands of others fascinated Kebineng, but he didn't expect that he would also taste the feeling of life and death being controlled by others so quickly.
Surrender? Kebi didn't think about it, but looking at the attitude of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty towards Xianbei people, you can guess that this person is not a master who likes to raise tigers. He is the mastermind of this Xianbei people's southward journey, and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty may not spare him, so there is no need for him to humiliate himself.
Is it standing or kneeling...... It may not be possible to give birth, and Kebi can make a decision soon. In fact, even if the emperor of the Han Dynasty allowed Kebineng to surrender, Kebineng would not necessarily surrender, because the competition in the grassland was more cruel. This time, Kebi Neng lost his troops and generals, and his strength was not as good as before, and Bu Dugen and others abandoned Kebi Neng, that kind of behavior is not that it can be easily exposed by saying sorry. Even if Kebineng can return to the grassland, he will face the joint clean-up of Budugen and others, who are thieves.
Don't make friends with people who like to say you're sorry, and if you're sorry once, you might as well be sorry a few more times...... And thieves are cowardly, and if they do something sorry for others, they will always worry that others will retaliate against them, and in order to have peace of mind, the best way is naturally to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Seeing Kebineng who was charging towards him, Liu Xie shook his head slightly, and instructed Dian Wei and Pang De beside him: "Lao Dian, Ling Ming, it's up to you." ”
The son of a daughter can't sit down, Liu Xiegui is the son of the Han Dynasty, and on the eve of the end of the war, he doesn't need to take risks at all. At this time, you have to show your skills to slash the enemy chieftain, how stupid is it to do such a stupid thing. Obviously you have the chance to win, but you want to take a risk? Kebi can die if he dies, but if he fights back and hurts himself when he is dying, wouldn't it be a snake to add to the snake, and the gains outweigh the losses?
Liu Xie was not so stupid, and handed over the responsibility of the result to Dian Wei and Pang De, in the face of the siege of the two tiger generals of the Han army, Kebineng fell silently, did not beg for mercy, did not scold angrily, as if relieved, and Kebineng, who wanted to become the second of Tanshi Huai, just went.
Looking at Kebineng, who was already too dead to die, Liu Xie stopped his subordinates' actions of cutting off their heads and remembering their merits, and ordered: "He is also a heroic man on the grassland side, leave him a whole corpse." ”
"No."
"Don't worry, I'll soon send Bu Dugen and others down to accompany you, so you can go with peace of mind." Liu Xie looked at the dead Kebineng and said slowly.
……
"Liar! Swindler! Bu Dugen was scolding the sky and the earth at this time. Sangqian County is located between Yanmen and Mayi, in the middle of the two Great Walls.
After abandoning Kebineng, Bu Dugen took the Xianbei people who were willing to leave with him all the way north day and night, and the agreement with the Han army made it clear that the Han army let go of Yanmen and allowed Bu Dugen to lead the Xianbei people back north. For the sake of safety, Budugen first sent people to take over Yanmen, and then waited for the army to converge and went north together, passing the Great Wall behind Yanmen.
But what Rang Bu Dugen didn't expect was that when he led his troops to Sangqian, he received bad news, the Han army appeared in Mayi in front, and almost at the same time, the Yanmen behind him was recaptured by the Han army. Budugen became a rat in the bellows, and both ends were blocked.
Bu Dugen did not give up and sent people to Yanmen to question the treachery of the Han people, but was told that the Han army occupying Mayi was the men and horses of Yuan Xi of Hebei and was not under the control of the imperial court. For Han Jun's explanation, Budugen could not accept it. But now is not the time to argue with the Han army, Bu Dugen had to discuss with the Han army in a low voice, whether he could allow him to go to Shuofang through Yanmen, but the answer he got was no.
Budugen did not carry much grain and grass, and in order to let the Han army let him go, he persuaded the leaders of the various departments to return the Han captives in their hands to the Han Dynasty. Now that he wants to return to the northern grassland, Budu has eradicated the forced breakthrough, and the only way left is to borrow the way. But the Han army refused to borrow the road, and the only option left for Budugen was to forcibly break through this road.
But it was not easy to break through the defense of the Han army. These days, the Xianbei people are rushing day and night, not to mention the lack of people and horses, and they are forced to hand over the seizures in hand, which also makes the Xianbei people lose confidence, coupled with the fear of the safety of their relatives, the nerves of the Xianbei people can be said to have been stretched to the limit, and the slightest wind and grass may cause the evil consequences of bombing the camp.
Budugen was well aware of the danger he was facing at the moment, and in order to get out of the predicament, he took out the last food for everyone to have a meal, recuperated and prepared for the last fight, and on the other hand, asked the leaders of the various departments to calm people's hearts and promise heavy rewards to boost morale. Regardless of whether it can be cashed in the future, let people be happy and happy first.
Mayi
At this time, the men and horses stationed in Ma Yi were indeed not Liu Xie's Han army, but the men and horses of Yuan Xi of Hebei, but this army would be stationed here, but it was not under Yuan Xi's order.
"General, this matter is not big or small, it is not small, it is better to listen to the advice of the last general, and send someone to report to the lord." Hearing the adjutant general's bitter persuasion, Zhu Ling shook his head slightly. When Bingzhou encountered the invasion of the Hu people, Zhu Ling, Gao Lan, and Zhao Zhao were leading their troops to fight fiercely with Gongsun Du's men and horses, and they lacked skills. After solving the big trouble of Gongsun Du, Zhu Ling, Gao Lan, and Zhao Zhao jointly asked Yuan Xi to fight, hoping that Yuan Xi could order them to go out to fight to recover the state and rescue the people of the state who were bullied by the Hu people. Unexpectedly, the general who went to the war and the state did not wait, but what he was waiting for was the order for the three of them to divide their troops and garrison the important place. Zhao was transferred to Qingzhou to guard against Cao Cao in Xuzhou, while Zhu Ling and Gao Lan were transferred to the north of Youji and Hebei respectively.
Will not be subject to military orders abroad! Gao Ran and Zhu Ling implemented this sentence very well, and the two discussed privately and decided to disobey. They didn't have the idea of betraying Yuan Xi, they just thought that it was more important to fight the Hu people at this time. The two divided their troops, Gao Ran went to the Great Wall in the Zhongshan area to garrison to block the possibility of Xianbei people entering Jizhou, while Zhu Ling led his troops to the starry night, detoured to Mayi before Budugen, and blocked Budugen's men and horses on the inner side of the Great Wall with the Han army.
Disobeying orders is a sin of killing the head. No wonder Zhu Ling's lieutenant advised Zhu Ling to hurry up and give Yuan Xi a plea of guilt, but Zhu Ling thought that he had done nothing wrong, and he and Gao Ran were accomplices, and if they wanted to admit their mistakes, they should be two people who confessed their mistakes to Yuan Xi together, how could they act alone.
"Okay, I know this in my heart, don't talk about it. How's the preparation going? Zhu Ling interrupted the adjutant general and asked.
"It's ready. But general, why don't we wait for work, but take the initiative? The adjutant replied quickly, and then asked his own question.
"At present, the Xianbei people have become trapped beasts, and when they learned that I occupied Mayi, they were not in a hurry to attack, obviously recuperating their strength, and their intention was to fight. If our army continues to defend according to the original plan, then the Xianbei people who are trying to kill a way out of life will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but if we attack in advance and disrupt the Xianbei people's plan, then our relative chances of victory will also increase a lot. Zhu Ling patiently explained to the lieutenant general.
Surprise and attack is the only way to win on the battlefield. Of course, if you want to achieve your goal, the effort you need to pay is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Things seem simple, but in practice, they are even more difficult. Easier said than done, that's what it means.
Everyone has a mouth, and everyone can speak unless they are born with a speech disorder. Because he can speak, he can say anything and dare to say it, but when he really wants to do it, he will retreat.
The biggest difference between a successful person and a loser is not big, the successful person is persistent, does not care about the cynicism around him, and is only dedicated to completing the goals he has set for himself. Losers, on the other hand, often spend more time looking for reasons for their failures than they think about why they failed.
Bu Dugen failed, he wanted his men to rest for one night and attack Ma Yi with all his strength tomorrow, so he even learned the destruction of the Chu Overlord, but he didn't expect Zhu Ling of Ma Yi to give them a night of rest, and launched a night attack at night. In order to nourish their spirits, the Xianbei people went back to their tents to rest after eating and drinking. Except for those in charge of the vigil, the camp of the Xianbei people was quiet.
But the vast majority of the Xianbei people did not fall asleep. The battle was lost, and the life and death of relatives in the rear were unpredictable, how big must this person's heart be to fall asleep immediately.
The timing of Zhu Ling's appearance was very accurate, it was when those Xianbei people had just fallen asleep but had not yet fallen asleep, when the sound of the attacked gong sounded in the camp, the Xianbei people were awakened. If they rush out of the camp like a fly without a head, the first thought of these Xianbei people when they wake up is to find their horses, and only with horses can they ensure that they will not be left behind.
But suddenly woke up at night, most of them were the same destination, and the place where the horses were placed was immediately troubled, and in order to compete for the horses, the Xianbei people did not hesitate to draw their swords against each other. When the first cut is down, it is not easy to retract the sheath.
The people were already flustered, and when they saw the blood again, the scene immediately got out of control, and the Xianbei camp was in chaos, with Xianbei people who fought with the Han people, and Xianbei people who fought with their own people. Budugen looked at the situation that was out of control, and he was anxious, but in the face of this situation, there was nothing he could do. The voices of his subordinates were almost hoarse, but they couldn't calm down the Xianbei people who were already hot-blooded.
"King, let's go, it's too late." The pro-soldiers advised the root road.
Bu Dugen knew that in the face of this situation, even if Tan Shihuai was alive, he was afraid that he could only cry out in vain, so he had to give up his original unrealistic ideas and leave the camp with his relatives who had gathered around him. It's just that Budugen's group had just left the camp when they were discovered by the Han army waiting outside the camp.
Although Zhu Ling sent troops without informing the Han army in Yanmen, Zhang Liao had been sending people to pay attention to Sang Qian's movements after receiving Liu Xie's general order to recapture Yanmen.
When it comes to the fat in the mouth, you can't let it go! Even if Zhang Liao led his troops to chase and kill Budugen, when he saw the Han cavalry coming, Budugen was terrified, how dare he face the battle, and immediately turned his horse and left. Zhang Liao led his troops to pursue, chased and killed all the way, and fled in a hurry, until he fled to the vicinity of Daijun before he was caught up by Zhang Liao and beheaded.
There are many generals under Liu Xie's command who can charge into battle, but there are few generals who can charge into battle and lead troops. Among them, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are one of the few. Other generals are brave enough, but their strategy is slightly worse, so Liu Xie will also arrange strategists to assist when he asks these people to lead the troops. And generals like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who have both civil and military skills, Liu Xie doesn't need to be so troublesome. This time, I went to copy the nest of the Xianbei people, and it was Zhang Liao and Xu Huang who took on this matter.
After the two had to be ordered, they led their troops deep into the Taihang Mountain, avoided the Xianbei people led by Kebineng to go south, took Yanmen lightly, and entered the grassland. How the Xianbei people killed the Han people, they treated the Xianbei people.
There were no prisoners, no seizures, and all the materials were replenished on the spot, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang completed the tasks assigned by Liu Xie very well, but the price they paid for it was also very large. The regular army of the Han Dynasty was full of 20,000 people, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led their troops to sweep the Xianbei grassland, and after the success, the men and horses of each department were less than 10,000. The old and weak women and children on the grassland, they can also bend their bows and shoot arrows, especially when attacking the Xianbei people's Danhan Mountain royal court, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang paid a great price, which is why Zhang Liao ordered the burning of Danhan Mountain after taking Danhan Mountain. Those Han family sons were born and died in order to fulfill the emperor's will, and a mere Xianbei royal court was not enough.
Because he participated in the battle to cut off the bloodline of the Xianbei people, Zhang Liao also knew more about the intentions of the Son of Heaven than others. Even if they can't kill all the Xianbei people, the powerful people of the Xianbei people like Kebineng and Budugen can't imagine that none of them can return to the grassland alive.
All need to recuperate, Xianbei people need it, and Han people need it even more. The repeated battles tested the logistics of the Han Dynasty and verified the tolerance of the Han people to the war.
In this foreign war, the imperial court recovered Yan and Henan prefectures, and Jingzhou also collected half, and the population gained nearly 600,000, but the price paid was also not small. The Han'an army was wiped out, the annoyance, the casualties were too heavy, the newly built Han'an army is now killing the western Xianbei Putou to flee to the west, I believe that when the Putou is killed, the Han'an army will be reborn in Nirvana, but the army is easy to build, but the grain and grass are not easy to replenish.
If the people are misappropriated regardless of the lives of the people, it can indeed provide Liu Xie with supplies to solve Cao Cao's problems in one fell swoop, but Liu Xie can't do that. He is the son of the Han Dynasty, and the first thing to consider is the life and death of the people, if the people are dying of hunger, then he, the emperor, will be at the end.
Expelling the Xianbei people from the state is the limit that the imperial court can do now, so Liu Xie must weaken the power of the Xianbei people as much as possible, so as not to make a comeback after the Xianbei people who fled back to the grassland after relieving their breath, which will directly affect the recovery of the people's livelihood in the imperial court.
At present, Kebineng and Budu are dead, and Putou, who fled back to the grassland first, is now also a grasshopper after the autumn, and he has been jumping in a few days. The only thing that made Liu Xie wonder was Su Li, one of the Xianbei Big Four, where did that guy go? According to the Xianbei captive's confession, Su Li left on the road before Kebineng led his troops to leave Shangdang, but he did not encounter Zhang Liao or Xu Huang, who led his troops back to the south of the state.
Where did he go? It is impossible for tens of thousands of Xianbei people to disappear out of thin air, the only possibility is that Su Li had a premonition of the danger of going to Yanmen, and did not lead his troops to the north, but fled into Taihang Mountain with people.
This is the only explanation. And a month after the end of the war, the news from Jizhou confirmed the speculation of Liu Xie and the ministers. Su Li really took his people to hide in the Taihang Mountain, and with amazing perseverance, this Xianbei tribe crossed the Taihang Mountain and appeared in Shiyi in Jizhou.
Before, Gao Ran and Zhu Ling sent troops without authorization, and when the battle was over, the people who were ordered to take the two also appeared in front of Gao Ran and Zhu Ling. Gao Ran was relatively close to Yecheng, so he was captured first. And the timing of Suli's appearance happened to be when the Gao Yan Department was leaderless.
The Xianbei people, who had been starving in the mountains for many days, burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and almost one-sidedly defeated the Gaolan division of Yuan's army, and received much-needed supplies. After a short rest, the Xianbei people led by Su Li went all the way north, like a bamboo, successively attacking Zhongshan, Zhuojun and other places in Jizhou, and they were about to cross the Great Wall and return to the grassland.
Yuan Xi was furious, he originally wanted to arrest Gao Ran and Zhu Ling back to ask for the guilt, but after Su Li's incident, he didn't care about making trouble with Gao Ran and Zhu Ling. On the contrary, he still regrets a little now, if he didn't capture Gao Ran, with Gao Ran's ability, how could he let Su Li, who was already hungry, get supplies so easily.
Gao Ran thought that he would not have his good fruit to eat when he returned to Yecheng this time, and he didn't want to wait for others to arrive in Yecheng, and a new appointment was issued, Yuan Xi ordered him to gather the remnants and join Zhang Jaw to chase Su Li to the north, and be sure to drive Su Li out of Youji, and at the same time ordered Zhu Ling to contact the Karasuma people to learn from the previous imperial court practices and go to copy Su Li's nest.
Karasuma people and Xianbei people are the same people living in the grassland, in order to compete for the rich pasture on weekdays, there are deep grievances between the two tribes, but the Xianbei people are powerful, and the Karasuma people have to swallow their anger. But now is different from the past, Xianbei people are unlucky, at this time, if you don't beat the water dog to take revenge, when will you wait?
In order to prevent Zhu Ling from seizing his spoils, Badun even rejected Zhu Ling's suggestion to join forces and asked to undertake the task independently. And Zhu Ling was unwilling to cooperate with the Karasuma people, and the proposal of the Bunton was exactly what he wanted, so he did not take care of the Bunton anymore, but led his troops south, trying to find a way to spread the news of the Karasuma people's attack on the Xianbei tribe to Su Li's ears.
