Chapter 503: Xianbei Comes to Descend?
Liu Yi's original plan was that once he found the camp of the Xianbei tribe's army, he would simply attack with his army and destroy the Xianbei tribe in one fell swoop.
However, the actual situation forced Leo Yi to give up his original plan.
Because, the more the army advanced to the north, the denser the mountains and forests became. It is much denser than the mountains and forests of the earlier area.
The mountains of the northern snowfields are not all tall and steep, but they are endless. It is not all so dense that there is no way to go, but it can only be slowly marched from the bottom of the valley, and the vanguard army needs to open the way, and the large army can pass through guò.
In addition, the heavy snow has closed the mountain, and the snow is quite thick, and in some places, the whole person can be trapped in it, and there are some places below that may be some ravines, because the fallen leaves are spread on it, and then snowfall, and a thick layer of snow is spread on it. Because of these circumstances, the officers and men of the New Han Army also suffered casualties.
It was only then that Liu Yi knew that the Linhai Snow Field in the north was indeed different from the desert plain in the northwest, and it was much more dangerous.
It is impossible for a large army to charge and kill, so it can only march slowly.
It is precisely because of this that the army of the New Han Army led by Liu Yi, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun and others rushed to the foot of Xianbei Mountain for a long time, and only then could the spies sent by Liaodong to send intelligence to Liu Yi in a timely manner.
In addition, although Liu Yi's current army advanced to the camp of the Xianbei tribe at the foot of Xianbei Mountain, it was a moment and a half. It is also difficult to attack them. Because, Xianbei Mountain is actually a mountain connected to all mountains. A slightly steeper mountain, and the so-called Xianbei camp. They were not all grouped together, but all of them camped in some valleys based on the danger of this large mountain range, almost all of which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, but quite scattered.
Now the weather is very cold, and there will be no people on those mountains, because the temperature on the mountains will be even lower. Even aliens who are accustomed to the cold cannot withstand such low temperatures.
This time. Liu Yi also found a relatively strict problem, that is, the soldiers of his own army were not very adaptable to such a cold climate, and many of them were frozen.
The women who followed Liu Yi, they didn't know how many layers of thick cotton clothes were wrapped, and as soon as they arrived here, after settling down in the camp, they were so cold that they basically didn't want to show up, and hid in the camp all day long.
And there is. The New Han Army's heavy attack is unlikely to be able to be transported for the time being. In fact, the cottage of the Xianbei people built in the middle of the mountain is dangerous, even if it is a burden. I'm afraid it won't come in handy.
These circumstances let Liu Yi know about the war with these Xianbei people. I'm afraid it's going to be going to be a long time coming. It is estimated that they will be blocked here until the spring flowers bloom next year. After the ice and snow melt, you can attack the Xianbei people. Of course. After Liu Yi figured it out, he was not in a hurry, as long as he stared at those Xianbei people here, they couldn't escape at all. Moreover, their food supplies will definitely not be too much. If they were trapped in this mountainous area by the New Han army, they would starve to death.
For this reason, Liu Yi found Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other generals to discuss, and decided to seal off the surroundings of Xianbei Mountain first, so that the Xianbei people in the Xianbei Mountain area had no way to escape. There is no longer a rush to attack them.
The two armies seemed to be pitted against each other. However, for the people of the Xianbei tribe, their situation is definitely not good. Because they are too short of materials, even their soldiers, at this time, there are not too many clothes to wear. Most of them had to hide in their tents to bake on the fire. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will come out to fight the New Han Army.
In fact, if this is not the cold winter season, if it is not the time when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, the New Han army generally goes deep into these primeval forests, and will definitely suffer from the sneak attacks of the Xianbei people along the way. For the aliens living in these mountains and forests, they can all be said to be hunters. The march of the New Han army in the dense forest is just conducive to their sneak attack, and I am afraid that it will really cause a lot of casualties to the New Han army.
But unfortunately, they were also hindered by the severe cold and were unable to attack the New Han army along the road.
But to Liu Yi's surprise and extreme difficulty, it was difficult to decide that the Xianbei tribe actually sent an envoy to talk to Liu Yi about surrendering.
To be honest, in Liu Yi's heart, he was determined to destroy Xianbei, and he didn't want to give the Xianbei clan a chance to surrender at all. If Xianbei is not destroyed, Liu Yi's heart is uneasy, Wuhuan is extinguished, and Xianbei is also destroyed, so that the northern Han can truly and completely remove the hidden dangers.
However, now that there is a buffer period, it is difficult for the New Han Army to directly and immediately eliminate the Xianbei tribe for a while, and the Xianbei tribe actually sent people to surrender?
For a while, Liu Yi really didn't know if he wanted to see the messenger sent by the Xianbei tribe. If you don't see it, it will seem that you are too small-bellied, but it will make people feel that they are afraid of the Xianbei people. See, if the attitude of the Xianbei tribe is not good, they are resolute in their willingness to fight with their New Han Army, and they refuse to bow to themselves. Then it is good to say that the New Han army will trap the Xianbei people, and they will all perish on their own. In particular, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici had already led their troops from Liaodong, and the strength of the New Han Army was enough to block those roads within a radius of hundreds of miles outside the Xianbei Mountain.
Liu Yi did not make a decision immediately, but summoned a group of civilian officials who acted with the army, as well as generals such as Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Xu Chu. Ask them for their opinion and ask them what they think.
The New Han army led this time has basically prepared the posture of besieging the Xianbei tribe, and it is only waiting for the military horses led by Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to come to strengthen and fill the gap. And at this time, the Xianbei tribe actually sent people directly to surrender?
What Liu Yi wanted to discuss with them was not to accept or not to accept it now, but to consider that in the future, the Xianbei tribe would become a threat to the Han Dynasty if they became big in the north.
Although Liu Yi did not tell his close ministers and generals about some of the things that will happen in history. However, I also talked to them about this topic from the side. Like Gao Shun and others, they are all more aware of the hidden advantages brought to the Han after the growth of the northern alien race. Especially when Leo Yi said. Even if Liu Yi himself, he can't guarantee whether Dahan will remain strong in the future. After all. It is impossible for Liu Yi to live forever, if it is a hundred years later. No one knows the historical direction of the Han Dynasty. In fact, in the Jin Dynasty, if it were not for the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, it was unlikely that there would be an incident of the Five Hu Chaohua. Therefore, Liu Yi will not know what the Han will be like in a hundred years.
Now, whether to accept the surrender of the Xianbei tribe. It's really a big problem.
"Lord, in fact, ......" Gao Shun wanted to speak and stopped.
"Brother Gao Shun, what can you say directly. You and my brother, in the early years, when I Liu Yi was still lowly in power, you worked hard with me. In front of me, there is nothing to say. "Lewi now, no matter what the decision is, there must be some excuses and some support.
"Hmm. The last general wants to say that the alien races in the north and northwest have been going back thousands of years, and can even be traced back to even further eras. They have been persecuting us in Huaxia Shenzhou. This point, when Gao followed General Lu Bu in Bingzhou in his early years, he had a lot of personal witnesses. Hands-on experience. Aliens are indeed savages. Atrocious. Gao Shun looked at Liu Yidao.
Liu Yi listened and nodded. Knowing that Gao Shun would have a following, he listened intently and did not speak.
"But even if that were the case, so what? Aren't we Han people getting stronger and stronger? Haven't we Han people been wiped out? Now, under the leadership of the lord, we have become so powerful, and the distant northwest, which has never been conquered by our Huaxia, has been conquered by us. Now, Wuhuan has been destroyed by us again, and only Xianbei remains. What I want to say is that no matter now or in the future, we Han people will not be exterminated. If they descend now and dare to rebel in the future, then they will bring about their own destruction. ”
"Also, my lord, you also talked to us, only we have always been strong, so who would dare to be disrespectful to our big man? The lord's ambition to dominate is not only our Han, not only the north. It's about looking at the world. Even the world dares to plot, so why are we afraid of this humble humility? ”
"Hehe, it makes sense, I understand, you mean that you can accept Xianbei?" Liu Yi understood what Gao Shun wanted to express, and couldn't help but smile.
"That's right! We are not afraid to fight them, and we are afraid of their surrender? Another point, the last general doesn't quite understand, why do you always seem to be full of worries about the future of our Han people? In the past few years, although he has not been in Luoyang, he really doesn't know much about the situation of our New Han Dynasty. However, Gao also knows the lord's proposition very well. In peacetime, he also considered a lot in private, and the last general believed that the idea of the lord, especially the intention to separate the imperial family from the government, and the imperial family should be able to retain the supreme nominal imperial power for generations, but not the power to participate directly in the government. Instead, from among the people of the world, truly talented people were selected to enter the imperial cabinet and preside over the political situation of the Han Dynasty. If so, the royal family would be in control of the Cabinet, which would be responsible for governing the Han. In this way, we can avoid the occurrence of things that lead to misunderstanding in the future. ”
"Oh?" Liu Yi looked at Gao Shun with a little different eyes, "Brother Gao Shun, I didn't expect you to have the talent to govern." ”
"No, no, I'm just listening to and thinking too much. Don't say this, lest you be ugly. Gao Shun blushed a little and shook his head again and again: "I mean, we are now, under the leadership of the lord, we have laid down such a big family business, and with the efforts of the lord and the ministers, we have made the Han so strong." If our descendants fail to keep the country that our generation has fought down, then no matter what happens in the future, even if it is destroyed, it will be deserved! ”
"Haha!" Liu Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and his heart became cheerful.
is really the case, no matter how eloquent and strategic he is, no matter how clever he calculates, he can't calculate the historical trend of his own hundred years later. What's the use of thinking too much about yourself right now? What's more, history has been changed by itself. All of them are developing in a good direction, as long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the court is clear. Lewi didn't dare to say that he could lay down a permanent dynasty, but it shouldn't be a problem to last for hundreds or thousands of years.
What's more, now Liu Yi also thinks that he has done everything he should do, especially to set up a wide academy to enlighten the people and teach new ideas and new technologies. If the Han people are not self-reliant, they can't stand on top of the world forever. Liu Yi didn't know how to say it.
Also, Liu Yi is still young now, and he can do more for Dahan. Therefore, it is really not necessary to think too much about the future of Dahan now.
"Okay, so do any of you have any opinions?" Lewy looked around at the people in the tent.
"I only listen to your orders, my lord, and I will fight when you say I will fight, and I will surrender when I say I will surrender." Dian Wei was too lazy to use his brain, and said with a big grin.
"Hehe...... Xu Chu scratched his head and said with a simple face: "Lord, we are warlike, but we are not thirsty for killing, unlike Lao Dian." If Xianbei people can truly surrender to our Han, as long as our old Chu is there, they will not be able to turn the sky! ”
"Alright, alright. Then ask their messenger to see how. If the sincerity is insufficient, and it is not true that he wants to surrender at all, then forget it, and destroy a hundred. "Liu Yi knows that the generals here are all iron-clad men with righteous hearts, and if they are allowed to kill unarmed people who will not resist, they are afraid that it will be really difficult to start.
In fact, there is one thing Gao Shun is also right. Dahan will face the whole world in the future, so why be afraid of Xianbei? Also, Gao Shun may not have thought of this problem either. Because, even if Liu Yi has the heart to send troops to conquer the whole world, it is impossible to kill all the people in the whole world. The reason why he wanted to destroy Wuhuan earlier and now he wants to destroy Xianbei is just that he doesn't want these aliens to drag themselves behind his back. I just want to solve these northern alien races as much as possible, and the good class teacher will return to the dynasty.
"Call the Xianbei messenger in!" Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Liu Yi directly issued an order and asked people to bring in the envoys sent by the Xianbei tribe.
After a while, the sound of snow treading came in.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and several people walked in.
Liu Yi was stunned, because the Xianbei messenger who came in, in addition to an old man who seemed to be taking the lead, there were two or three young and beautiful women of different races, all of whom were fine beauties who made Liu Yi's eyes shine.
This can't be a beauty trick with yourself, right?
Liu Yi's heart sank, and he was a little displeased. Seeing the beauty, Liu Yi didn't refuse, but Liu Yi felt that he came to talk about the surrender with such a conspiracy and purpose. It will make Leo Yi feel that their motives are not pure. (To be continued......)
