Chapter Seventy-Six: Good News from the Prairie, Qingzhou Asks for Help

On this side, the two armies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought a protracted battle in Guandu, and a decisive battle was unfolding on the grassland side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xianbei Putou Shan Yu led 50,000 soldiers to trap Meiji, but he fought for almost a month, and each time he felt that the Huns were about to be unable to defend, and as a result, many archers went back to the city to defend, as if the Huns would never die. The Xianbei people had already lost nearly 10,000 men under the city, but they still did not capture Meiji City.

The grassland peoples have always been mainly copied and strategized, and they are not good at siege battles. Now that the siege has been going on for a long time, there is a shortage of food and grass, and more importantly, there is no loot to be robbed and cannot be distributed to the soldiers, and the morale of the army is becoming more and more unstable.

On this day, the scouts came to report that 10,000 Han Dynasty cavalry came to the south. Under the banner of the general of the expedition to the north. Pu Tou Shan Yu secretly scolded Cao Cao's envoy, originally Cao Cao's envoy was to let himself lead his troops south, and after defeating the Xiongnu, he would attack the Han army in Hedong with double hairpins. At that time, the materials grabbed will be expensive on your own side, so you can rest assured that you will go south. How do you know that there are only 10,000 Huns in Meiji City, and they have been fighting for so long. And the Hedong Army sent troops to support, which is really infuriating.

But Putou Shan Yu is a person who can afford to let go after all, since he can't capture Meiji, now that the reinforcements have arrived, retreat is. The Huns in the city were afraid that most of them would be killed and wounded, and they would never dare to pursue. As for the Han people, they have no enmity with me, even if they come to the grassland, they are to understand the siege of Meiji, and there is no reason to be desperate. So Pu Tou ordered the whole army to retreat, swaggering as if to retreat, and even thinking about where to go on the road to plunder a few more cities in his state, can't he go south this time empty-handed?

Who knew that not long after the Xianbei people began to retreat, the gates of Meiji City were opened, and 20,000 fresh cavalry were killed in the city. Putou was blinded all of a sudden, and he didn't know where the Huns came from so many soldiers and horses? Putou couldn't, and ordered people to rush to the battle. You must know that the cavalry is fighting for impact and speed, and the Xianbei cavalry is the opponent of the Huns in a panic, and there is a big chaos.

At this moment, the 10,000 cavalry of the Han people also moved, and the cavalry on this side were all iron-armored spears, and the team was tightly organized towards the flank of the Xianbei people.

If Putou still had the heart of a war just now, now he is completely frightened. Seeing that the general situation was gone, he quickly left the battlefield and fled south with a thousand elite guards of his own clan. As for the battle situation behind him, he can't control it, he just hopes to escape back to Danhan Mountain, and organize Xianbei people to take revenge in the future. His more than 1,000 people ran all night and did not dare to rest, and the next morning he saw that he was about to reach Shanan, and he was relieved to see that the Huns did not chase him.

At this time, 10,000 Hun cavalry suddenly appeared in front, Putou thought that he was wrong, and he recognized that this Hun army was fighting under the banner of Huchuquan, the right virtuous king of the Huns. This is the rout that scattered and fled in front of him a month ago. Putou was completely desperate, and then he realized that from the beginning of the war, he had fallen into the trap of others.

In the end, after this battle, Xianbei was killed in the battle of Putou, and less than 10,000 Xianbei knights fled back to Danhan Mountain. Putou's younger brother Budugen succeeded Shan Yu, but the strength of Xianbei in the middle began to weaken significantly. This also directly led to the later Xianbei civil strife, and Budugen gave up Danhan Mountain.

On the other hand, the Xiongnu became the biggest beneficiary of this war. The Xiongnu defeated Xianbei, rose the grassland, and captured more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, and the capture of strategic materials was countless.

The alliance between Hedong and the Xiongnu relied on strength. Whether it was the Beiwei army helping to defend the Meiji Royal City or Xu Huang's 10,000 Hedong cavalry playing a majestic style, Yu Fuluo had to be impressed. Therefore, for the plan to open up the contract from Shangjun to Youzhou, the Xiongnu side also fully supports it. Basically, nomadic settlements would be built every 100 li, and these settlements would assume the same function as post stations in the future, and would be jointly managed by the Xiongnu and the Hedong army.

When Tian Jing got this information, it was already ten days later. Now Hu Cai is waiting in front of Tian Jing for his next instructions. Tian Jing is also becoming more and more satisfied with his military advisor, he can always find himself when he needs it most. Tian Jing asked: "You have photographed the people of the Flying Eagle in every settlement, right?" ”

Hu Cai said, "There are two people in the open and one person in the dark, which can ensure that no information on the grassland will be missed, and it is much faster and safer to transmit news through this road." ”

Tian Jing was very satisfied with Hu Cai's work, and said seemingly unintentionally, "How did you develop the sect before, do you want to try to spread the Taiping Tao among the Huns?" ”

Hu Cai's reaction was so fast, Tian Jing didn't want to spread the Taiping Dao in his territory, but after all, the Huns were only allies, if the Taiping Dao could be widely disseminated, it would be much easier for his intelligence system to act in the future, and maybe it would be able to change the pattern of the Huns, so he hurriedly said, "The Han Huns are all human, and the Taiping Dao is used by everyone as a faith, if the general allows it, I will deal with this matter later." ”

Tian Jing nodded in agreement, and then continued, "I have one more thing here that you need to do personally. Tian Feng was imprisoned in the prison of Yecheng. If Yuan Shao wins the battle of Guandu, he will let him out to show leniency, but if he loses this battle, he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. I want you to do whatever it takes to get this man out of me. ”

Hu Cai said, "My subordinates have written it down." This matter will certainly be arranged in a way that will not make us suspicious. ”

Tian Jing continued, "Now the victory or defeat of the battle of Guandu is related to how we should act next. Now that we occupy more and more places, the pressure on your side of the job is getting more and more intense. But the more times like this, the more inadequate the intelligence work becomes. I don't intervene in what to do, and I don't tie your hands and feet, you can do it yourself according to your own ideas. When the war is over, I have to go to Liaodong again, and I need you to go with me at that time. ”

After Hu Cai received the order, he said goodbye and left.

It happened that Yuan Shao raised the account and convened everyone to discuss the matter. When Tian Jing arrived in the big tent, he learned that a new situation had emerged: the two sides were at a stalemate in Guandu. So Cao Jun made small moves elsewhere. Le Jin strengthened the offensive in Hanoi, and the senior cadres led the troops to defend the Yin, and now sent people to ask for reinforcements. Langya Zangba led the troops to attack Qingzhou, and the eldest prince Yuan Tan was defeated, and successively lost the three cities of Anqiu, Chang'an, and Gaomi, and now he also came to ask for help.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's head was bigger than two, and he scolded, "It's all waste!" How do Yuan Tan and Gao Gan's thorn history deserve? A little Lejin, a bandit-born Zang Ba can't stop it! Tell me what is the best way to retreat from the enemy? ”

The strategists didn't dare to speak when they saw that Yuan Shao was angry, and they were silent for a long time, and the trial had to stand up, after all, he was Yuan Shao's chief strategist. "General, I think that the key to the war now is only in Guandu, not in Hanoi and Qingzhou. You can send 10,000 reinforcements to General Gaogan and make him stick to the yin. On the Qingzhou side, it doesn't matter if the eldest prince can shrink his defense, and temporarily give up some cities to Zang Ba. As long as Guandu has a decisive victory, Lejin and Zang Ba will retreat! ”

None of the other strategists spoke, so Yuan Shao was ready to use the suggestion of the trial.

Tian Jingxin said, now that I have gone to Hanoi, I have to obey Yu Gaogan's orders, and it can't change the situation of the battle, so it is better to take this opportunity to pick up Lu Wen and Xiaoliu and their people. Then he said, "General, I thought it would be better to send some reinforcements on the side of the eldest prince." After all, if Zang Ba becomes the climate, even if he recovers the lost land in the future, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial for the eldest prince to govern Qingzhou. I would like to lead the people of my headquarters to support Qingzhou. ”

When Tian Jing said this, Yuan Shao felt that it was also reasonable. After all, it's his own son, and he can't let others see the joke. said to Tian Jing, "There is General Lao so much." The soldiers and horses of the general's headquarters are still guarding the city, but they are afraid that it will be unfavorable for a while. I sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to the general to support Qingzhou.

Tian Jing said, "The last general will take the order." However, since Tian led the troops, he also asked the general to send a civil official to supervise the army. ”

Tian Jing's statement was unexpected by others, because the generals wanted to lead the army alone, how could there be a reason to rush to ask for the supervision of the army. It is estimated that he is afraid of taking responsibility alone, so he has to pull a cushion. But now that the victory of Guandu is in sight, who is willing to give up a great effort to go to Qingzhou, Yuan Shao's several strategists are naturally unwilling. Yuan Shao himself was also hesitant and didn't know who to send.

At this time, Tian Jing said, "I heard that the disrespectful words of the professor collided with the general before, why don't the generals let this person go with me, so that he can make meritorious contributions?" ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, this frustration had previously tried to prevent him from going south, and let him lead the horse to humiliate him, but now he didn't know how to settle it. It is better to take this opportunity to let him go to Qingzhou with Tian Jing, and it seems that I am more magnanimous, so Yuan Shao agreed to send Fu Zhi as a supervisor and go to Qingzhou with Tian Jing.

Tian Jing received the military order, and rushed to the direction of Qingzhou with 10,000 soldiers and his 1,000 white horse servants and Li Kang's 500 flying tiger soldiers.

Along the way, Tian Jing intended to befriend Frustrated and talk to him, but he didn't like to talk to him. Knowing that Tian Jing mentioned getting along with Tian Feng and intended to worship Tian Feng as a teacher, he was a little slower and said a few words to Tian Jing.

Tian Jing didn't know where he had offended him, and he didn't have much to say about going to handle military affairs. In fact, he didn't know that he had already regarded him as a two-faced and three-faced person here, otherwise how could he first go to Youzhou, then Xuzhou, and finally take refuge in the Han Emperor but formed an alliance with Jizhou, although he intended to worship Tian Feng as a teacher, the master was imprisoned but did not intercede with Yuan Shao. Frustrated with Geng Jie all his life, he naturally looks down on people like Tian Jing. But he didn't know the hardships of Tian Jing's development along the way, and he didn't know what Tian Jing had done, and he had worked hard for the people of the world for the Han Dynasty.

On this day, Tian Jing led the troops to Linzi, Qi State, under the rule of Qingzhou, and now Yuan Tan's Assassin Mansion is here. When Yuan Tan heard that Tian Jing and Fu Zhi were leading the troops, he was overjoyed and held a banquet for Tian Jing.
