October 22, Anzhou, Ghost Fang, Mutai Village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Han Shige, the commander of the Leopard Cavalry, the governor of the Ahui Department, and the Governor of the Mukun Department and Su Zhi rushed to the alliance headquarters in Mutai Village to meet with Li Fengyun, the chief of the alliance.

Li Fengyun was very happy about Han Shige's arrival, gave enough face, and brought all the officials of the headquarters to greet him ceremoniously.

Han Shige's importance to the alliance is the same as Li Zixiong and Murong Zhili, because of his fame and being known by the captives outside the country, he is a "star" type figure who can produce a "star" effect.

For example, Li Zixiong, who once served as the governor of Youzhou, was in charge of the military and political power of Youyan, and had close contacts with the Donghu races during his tenure, so as soon as the nobles of the Donghu tribes heard about him, they knew that he was a powerful person in Middle-earth, and he admired him, even if he was now a rebel in Middle-earth, he was also a big man they couldn't climb; For example, Murong Zhili, the Murong clan in Liaodong is already well known, and Murong Sanzang is a famous general in the world, and everyone knows it, so when I heard that Murong Zhili was the grandson of Murong Sanzang, the captives outside the Saiwai were more or less in awe, the Murong clan represented the power of the Northern Xinjiang captives and the wealthy families surnamed Zhongtu, and they were the objects they were attached to, if there was an opportunity to tie up the relationship, of course, it should not be missed; Han Shige himself is not famous, but his father Han Baohu is a well-known battlefield warrior at home and abroad, and he has achieved the prestige of Han Baohu by going out to conquer again and again, and the captives outside the Saiwai have always worshiped the strong, so for Han Shige, the son of the strong, it is also a different look, of course, "looking the other way" is definitely not Han Shige's own bravery, but the strong strength of Middle-earth represented by Han Shige.

The power of Middle-earth is very empty in the impression of the captives outside the Saiwai, and there is no specific content, but once they have the "subject matter" they are familiar with, such as the Murong clan of Liaodong, such as the governor of Youzhou who sits on one side, such as the famous general Han Baohu of Middle-earth, and so on, all these symbolize power, strength and powerful "carriers" that they are familiar with, so that they can truly feel the true existence of Middle-earth, so that their worship, awe and yearning have a specific object, then when they fall into the critical juncture of life and death, they will inevitably seek the protection of the strong, or cling to the strong, once the sensational effect of rushing to be the first and rushing to the first is formed, the road to conquest will be smooth sailing, greatly reducing the bloody killing.

Therefore, for Li Fengyun, when Li Zixiong is already twilight and unable to face up to his rebellious identity, he always has unrealistic illusions about the Holy Lord and the center, deliberately keeps a distance from the alliance, and does not want to live and die with the alliance for "ten thousand years", nor does he want to be "kidnapped" by the alliance to destroy his first reputation, Li Fengyun can only win over the "second generation" Han Shige, hoping that Han Shige can help the alliance take on the banner of "strong Middle Earth", after all, even if it is a "second generation", in the eyes of the captives outside the Saiwai represented" Significance" is also extraordinary, and a group of notorious horse thieves and thieves not only cannot be compared with the "second generation" in terms of identity, but the killing and evil represented are also extremely negative, so Han Shige, a "big banner" that can wave a positive role, if he is willing to participate in the Northern Expedition to weak Luoshui, to a certain extent, he can still help the alliance increase some chances of winning.

Of course, it is impossible for Han Shimo to see his "value" so clearly, and the reason why he decided to go north with Li Fengyun to conquer weak Luoshui was mainly because Li Zixiong's persuasion played a role.

After the end of the First Battle of Maogouchuan, Li Fengyun personally sent a letter to Han Shige, saying that he would go north non-stop to conquer the weak Luoshui and sweep the Donghu tribes, so as to prepare for a full-scale counteroffensive against the Turks next year. In the letter, although Li Fengyun did not directly invite Han Shige to go north together, the intention of the invitation was undoubtedly revealed. Han Shige hesitated, one was not optimistic about the Northern Expedition, the other was obedient to Li Fengyun's orders to make him lose face, and the third he wanted to preserve his strength, without strength, he would have no future, and he would have completely fallen into the grass and humiliated his ancestors, but Li Fengyun had Pei Shiju behind him, and the impossible things such as recovering Anzhou have become possible, who dares to say that the Northern Expedition will not succeed if Luoshui is weak? Merit means the future, the temptation is too great, and Han Shige's heart is excited, and it is difficult to make a choice, so he consulted Li Zixiong.

Li Zixiong's attitude is resolute, he must go, there is no other reason, since the two sides have formed an alliance and cooperated, they should keep their promises, work together to resist the enemy, and fight side by side, as for whether the strategy of the Northern Expedition is correct or not, and what the chances of victory are, it does not matter, the important thing is that since the Holy Lord and the Central Center have seen the great benefits of recovering Anzhou and even sweeping the Northeast to Middle-earth, and give support for grain, grass and weapons, of course, they will not give up halfway, even if the Northern Expedition is defeated, Middle-earth will not give up, and will inevitably increase support, and even simply tear their faces and go into battle shirtless. What about the early explosion of the Civil War? With the strength of today's Middle-earth, even if you can't seal the wolf Juxu, it is still more than enough to defend the Great Wall. Regarding the face problem, it is not what it used to be, it is meaningless to hold the arrogance and arrogance of the past, and the Li family of Zhaojun is far more noble than the Han family of Yingchuan, and the prestige of Li Delin, the Duke of Anping, is far greater than that of the new righteous Duke Han Baohu, and Li Fengyun's strength now is far from being comparable to Han Shige, whether it is fighting for the family, fighting for the father or fighting for strength, Li Fengyun is slightly better, in this case, what is the shame of being subordinate?

Han Shige also understands people, and he can understand it at one point, so he decided to go north, but everyone has a good face, and if he thinks it out, it doesn't mean that he can accept the facts, so that he, a general of Weifu who used to show off his martial arts, bows to a thief who has hidden his head and is now notorious in the past, and this psychological hurdle is very difficult. Fortunately, Li Fengyun was extraordinary, and all the commanders came out to greet him, giving him enough face, and asked Han Shige to serve as the deputy marshal of the Northern Expedition to jointly take charge of decision-making, elevate his status in the alliance, increase his chances of winning meritorious service, and take the opportunity to raise his "big banner" that has a certain positive and positive significance among the captives outside the country.

Han Shige's vanity was satisfied, he was in a good mood, and his posture was lowered on his own initiative, people respected me a foot, I also gave people a foot, face to each other, everyone carried the sedan chair, cooperated sincerely, won the battle, the record and honor were all there, and the status and respect were well deserved, otherwise it was a joke of self-deception.

Li Fengyun personally explained the current military situation to Han Shige, "The Turkic Xuanfeng Army has arrived at Donghu Shu, thirty miles west of the Ghost Fang City, and launched an attack, and then thousands of controls joined the battlefield. The First Army of our Alliance, the Third Army of Thunder and part of the Humiliating King controlled the string to hold the fort, and then the Fifth Army of the Alliance and part of the Humiliated King controlled the string to reinforce it. ”

Li Fengyun pointed to the Ghost Fang City on the map, lightly tapped it twice, and then used it as a starting point to draw a circle in the direction of Donghu Shu, "The ambush battlefield is set within thirty miles outside the West City. At present, the second and fourth armies of the alliance, the first, second, and fourth armies of Thunder and the fifth army that have just been formed, the main force of the Humiliation Wang's department, the main force of the Mohofu department, and the first part of the Murod department, as well as the Anzhou Army that has just been formed, have all entered the predetermined position, and they will complete the siege when the enemy army is killed under the city. ”

Han Shige nodded slightly, and said, "Since Qi Ji set Ashina to personally lead the army to attack the ghost side, then the southeast tooth banner should be the main force. Can the Commander find out how many troops the opponent has deployed? ”

"About 30,000 chords." Li Fengyun said quietly.

Han Shige's expression suddenly froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. This intelligence is very unexpected, the encirclement and annihilation requires absolute superiority in troops, especially the encirclement and annihilation of the Turkic army with a single horse army and flexible tactics, and it is even more necessary to seize the fighters, otherwise the Turkic control will run away, so that they will not be stupid to fight a frontal war of attrition with the dense array of Middle-earth infantry corps like iron buckets. Attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, this kind of stupid thing will not be done by the northern captives. But immediately, Han Shige's eyes narrowed slightly, and he guessed, "Does the chief manager have to finish his work in one battle?" ”

Li Fengyun was worried that Han Shige would misunderstand, shook his hand, and said bluntly, "This kind of thing will hurt both sides, and a certain person will not do it, and Ashina will not do it." ”

Han Shige understood and admired Li Fengyun's courage a little. This is the psychology of the handsome, who is more ruthless and not afraid of death, who can have the last laugh in the evenly matched confrontation, and the loser although the loss is not necessarily large, but the psychological shadow is serious, in the future competition, a first to grab people, a cowardly before the fight, and make a judgment.

"If you want to divide the victory and defeat as soon as possible, force Ashina to make a miscalculation, rush through the siege and evacuate, and give us the opportunity to kill the enemy to win the opportunity, we must cut off his retreat and let him flee in panic and be full of flaws." Han Shige stroked his beard and smiled, pointing to the flat pine forest on the map, "The chief manager can send a partial division to cross the flat pine forest from the trail, and the divine soldiers will descend from the sky, and then recapture the peach water, and the enemy will return home." ”

Li Fengyun smiled, "That's what I mean, but the troops were insufficient before, overstretched, and I had more than enough strength to do it. ”

Han Shige did not shirk and agreed, but put forward the conditions, "A certain must be led by the Fourth and Fifth Armies of Thunder and the humiliating king Mengba." ”

This condition is reasonable, and Han Shige's subordinates who can be familiar with him are also to ensure the completion of the task, but the encirclement is in progress, and it is also taboo for soldiers to change their defenses at this moment.

Li Fengyun thought for a while, and immediately decided, "Before midnight, Jingjiang six catties, a number of big axes, and General Meng Ba led the army to join you and attack Taoshui overnight. ”

Soon after sending Han Shige away, the Mukun Governor's Office and Su Zhi arrived at the headquarters, and then Ah Huichuan, the governor of the Ah Hui Ministry, also flew in. Li Fengyun greeted him outside the handsome tent and was very enthusiastic.

The expressions of the two Xi powerhouses are very calm, and they can't see that they have just escaped from the catastrophe of life and death, which may be related to the harsh living environment and cruel survival concept they are in.

Li Fengyun brought them calamity and hope. For the Mukun Ministry, they hope to become a member of Middle-earth and live and work in peace and contentment from now on. And hope is very close to them, close at hand, and they have to work hard for that.

Li Fengyun recounted the battle situation and explained the task, "This is a battle of life and death, only by working together, staying forward, and fighting a bloody road, can we win our future." ”
