Chapter 85 (Part II)
Meiji County is only a few miles southwest of Yuting, and Lu Bu's army is not in a hurry to march, but after slowly advancing here, he is not in a hurry to enter it, so he first camps here according to an empty city and temporarily settles down.
At this time, in the tent of the military camp, Lu Bu put away the letter and sat back on the couch, but he breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jia Xu and Chen Gong, and said with a faint smile: "It seems that it is not a good move to let go of Bei, do you know that on the way back to the Hun army, it happened to encounter an ambush led by the army led by Bei, although the whole army was not annihilated, but it was already demoralized and had no intention of responding to the battle, and most of them were captured by Qubei, and the rest were scattered in all directions, and it was difficult to gather a force again." β
This was already three days after the retreat of the Xiongnu army, and in these three days, many things also happened.
First of all, Chen Gong's brazen dispatch of troops, coupled with the cooperation of Geng Zhi and Zhang Xiu, there is no doubt that it is a heavy blow to the Southern Xiongnu, you must know that Chen Gong's troops are combined with Geng Zhi, the Liao general, plus the Xiongnu Zhonglang over there, Zhang Xiu, the three forces have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses combined, of course, the number is not the most important, the key is the timing of the troops, the battle of Meiji to the critical moment, seeing that the 100,000 Hun army lost nearly half of the number of people and finally about to completely take down the Lu Bu army, But at this time, there was a crisis in the rear, and the three forces that they had never been prepared against at all united at the same time, and the troops were directed at the most important place of the Huns.
Huyan helped Luo, who could call the shots, and Lan Huluye, the temporary generation, could not stop anything at all, let alone bear the responsibility of the ineffective rescue, and could only retreat in a hurry in the end.
But originally Chen Gong was a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, he was in the middle of it, first encountered all kinds of harassment on the way, and then constantly ambushed, not only Chen Gong, but also Qubei, who had agreed with Lu Bu to withdraw from Xihe County, also led his preliminarily organized army of 50,000 to join in the excitement.
In the end, the retreating Xiongnu army was defeated, and all nearly 70,000 horses were lost by nearly half. The rest were either scattered or captured in the rout.
And in this battle. The biggest beneficiary was not Lu Bu, who was barely the winner of the battle with the Xiongnu, not to mention the tragic price of his 50,000 army and more than 30,000 troops, even after defeating the Xiongnu army that rushed to aid Shan Yuting, he did not gain any benefits; And to be humble is the real big winner, not only to avoid the confrontation with the Lu Bu army, but also to capture the 20,000 horses in this Xiongnu army to replenish his own team to nearly 80,000 people, although this team can not be said to be completely in his hands, but with the passage of time his control over it will only get stronger and stronger.
It's just that then, according to the agreement with Lu Bu, he needs to withdraw from Xihe County first. After all, this attack was already an arrogance, and for the dehumation that has not yet completed his control over the army under his command, it is unwise to clash with Lu Bu at this time, even if he is not afraid of Lu Bu.
There is nothing to talk about this battle now, and from this moment on, except for some scattered tribes, the Xiongnu's Nandan Yuting has actually been completely open to LΓΌ Bu. Even if Lao Wang still hopes to be able to gather people from some surrounding tribes to raise the "Qin King's Division", it is just a useless struggle in the death struggle, and there is no need to take it to heart.
At this time, Lu Bu and the others can temporarily put their minds at ease, the two counties of Wuyuan and Xihe are connected, and their armies have finally converged, Chen Gong naturally came to see Lu Bu, and at this moment, only Lu Bu and his two most important think tanks are discussed.
It's just that after listening to Lu Bu's words at this moment. Jia Xu frowned. He looked quite worried: "Now it seems that this Qubei is obviously also an ambitious person. This kind of person's ability is not too bad, and now there is no one in the army of Yu Fu Luo who can match him, even if we have been imprisoned in Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan, and when we go to the future, we will slowly cut off the wings of these two people, and even if we hold these two people, we may not be able to play much role, I am afraid that we will have another big threat. β
Lu Bu sneered: "What kind of person is this humble person, it should have been seen a long time ago, if he didn't have ambition, the matter of Yu Fuluo before would not have reached an agreement with us, if he had no ambition, and it was even more difficult to use, maybe our situation would be worse today......" Then he sighed again, and said with a deep gaze: "But this is also a matter of no way, for the time being, we can only take advantage of the situation, borrow this person, at least this can buy us enough time." As long as the food problem is solved, the population of Bingzhou will gradually recover, and then stabilize the political situation, expand the field, and gradually advance to Hebei, which is the first step to complete our planned territory. β
Jia Xu and Chen Gong both nodded when they heard this, this is a big plan that has been discussed a long time ago, and it is just being practiced step by step at the moment, and from the current situation, although what they have completed is not perfect, it is quite smooth.
As for the issue of de-inferiority, it is good for them to drag on for time, and now it is impossible for Lu Bu's forces to completely annihilate the Xiongnu, and it is enough to eliminate a part of it and plant the seeds of civil strife in the Xiongnu at the same time, and there is time for respite and development.
Over there, Chen Gong smiled at this moment: "I'm afraid that the current situation of Qubei is not as good as we imagined, don't forget that Xihe County and Wuyuan County are our territory now, whether it is because of the previous agreement or our current strength, he will not dare to take it lightly; And Shangjun is where the Qiang people are, and the only way to retreat from Qubei is Shuofang County, but Shuofang County is where Yu Fu Luo started, and there are still no less than Fu Luo's supporters, and it is not so easy for Qubei to sit in his new position as a new single, this is only one of them; And the reason why he was able to calmly command his soldiers and soldiers to ambush the Xiongnu army that came out of Shan Yuting this time was because he thought that the reason why Yu Fuluo was captured was entirely because he agreed to the so-called conditions put forward by Shan Yuting, and Shan Yuting would be mainly responsible, so that the contradictions would be temporarily transferred outward, so that the anger in the hearts of the soldiers under his command would have an outlet first, but the internal contradictions had not been fundamentally resolved, which was the second. β
"Not to mention anything else, having these two is enough to have a headache, the Huns will not be united from now on, no matter how to go to the humble, they are destined to not be fully recognized by all the Huns, a divided Hun force is absolutely beneficial to us, when the time comes, as long as we release the two hungry wolves here in due time, the scene is wonderful."
The so-called "two hungry wolves" naturally refer to the two difficult brothers and sisters, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, who are now captured by Lu Bu, and are entertained with good food and drink, of course, they are divided and detained, and with their hearts, they will not have any act of seeking death and taking their lives, but this kind of life is not like what it used to be after all, so if Lu Bu lets them go, even if they hate Lu Bu in their hearts, even if they know that the overall situation of the Xiongnu is the most important, but the first thing to deal with must be humble, At that time, the foundation of the forces of Qubei was also relatively stable, and the two sides were afraid that they would still have to fight, and what Lu Bu and they had to do was to sit on the mountain and watch the wolf fight. (To be continued.) )
PS: Huh, this paragraph is finally over, in fact, I was quite entangled when I wrote this paragraph, not to mention anything else, just thinking about the names of those Hun generals gave me a headache, and I don't know if there are really people in history, anyway, there must be a surname, and such as "Huyan" is indeed the surname of the nobles in the Southern Huns, as for the name, it can only be broken blindly; Of course, the most tangled is the problem of war description, I feel that I am not good at this, but it is unavoidable, even if everyone thinks that I am watering, I must say that each of my war descriptions is different, and I have to write with heart, I have to spend a lot more time than usual to write this, more effort than describing feelings, at least in that regard, I think I can still write well with my heart, sweat~
Okay, that's all there is to it, and then I will get in touch with Yuan Shao, and then slowly unify and merge the state, quack!
