Tai Shici was in Hedong, received a letter from Jia Xu and others, and immediately sent spies to find a suitable venue for a decisive battle of the army in Hedong. \\í group 4∴80656178\\
This choice of decisive venue is also very particular, not just any place can be.
At the very least, both armies had more than 200,000 men and a sufficiently large battlefield. In addition, Tai Shi Ci is also very aware of the power of the bed crossbow, and its effective killing range is two miles away, but in order to effectively kill and injure a large number of Hun cavalry, it must be in a relatively flat place, so as to give full play to the maximum power of the bed crossbow.
Also, the thistle terrestris should also be in a fairly flat place to better deploy the formation. Therefore, in mountainous areas, it is not suitable for battlefields.
Hedong is also a plain area, but because it is too close to the Yellow River, many places are actually some low and undulating hilly areas, which are not very suitable for battlefields. It would be nice if you could fight with the Huns in Hexi or Jinyang, and you could find a flat place as a battlefield at any time.
It's a pity that this time the battle with the Huns was changed from the original strategy of preparing to take the initiative to attack and find the enemy to fight a decisive battle to the method of waiting for the enemy to attack. Therefore, the Huns will only attack all the way to Hedong, and only when they can kill Luoyang can they dare to attack and kill themselves. In other places, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find them in a decisive battle.
The Han army had some deterrent effect on the Huns, and the Huns might not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Han army when the strength of the two sides was equal. Now that I think about it, it seems that it will not work to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu army, so I can only wait for the Xiongnu army to take the initiative to attack.
The Xiongnu were brutal in nature, but they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they were greedy and timid, and they knew the strength of the Han Dynasty. Right now. Seeing that the Han was chaotic and showing signs of weakness, they slowly gained courage and began to send a large army to attack the Han. But. They are still very careful, and if they know that they have a large army waiting for them here, they may not dare to attack.
Therefore, what Tai Shici said in the letter is to let them temporarily show weakness to the enemy, and not to worry about the Huns' raiding and annexing of the state for the time being. The entire Bingzhou region has been plunged into a state of chaos. The army of Luoyang could not enter the hinterland of Bingzhou for a moment to drive away the Huns, nor could it rescue the people persecuted by the Huns. Therefore, they simply endured and let them attack all the way by themselves.
Fortunately, this time the Huns entered the customs and entered the state, not as burned and killed as before. Rather, they want to occupy the entire land of the state, and there have been no rumors of a massacre yet. They captured the Han Chinese and turned them into their slaves. Keep it for them to plow and graze for them.
It is precisely because of this that Tai Shici can calm down, and he did not eagerly wave his army into Bingzhou to attack and kill the Huns.
After Tai Shici learned about the grand plan this time, he was overjoyed and knew that the future of the Huns was coming. It is conceivable that the Huns attacked and plundered all the way, and did not encounter an enemy all the way, and when they came to Hedong, they saw that the most prosperous capital of the Han Dynasty was on the other side of the Yellow River. Then. With the greedy nature of the Huns, they can't help but want to wave their troops across the river, capture the capital of the Han people, and plunder the money of the capital. In this way, they will definitely attack themselves, as long as they come. It is the time of their death.
Tai Shi Ci was looking for a suitable venue for a decisive battle.
The Xiongnu army has been swept straight down to Jinyang from Yamen County.
King Zuo Xian was very careful, he took the body of his father Xiongnu Shan Yu from Bingzhou back to the north of the desert, after a series of operations, in a short period of time, successfully ascended to the position of Xiongnu Shan Yu, and successfully became the king of the Xiongnu, although there are still many Xiongnu leaders who are not satisfied, but under his means, the Huns have basically been unified, and most of the Huns have followed.
He vigorously promoted the wealth of the Han people and the cowardice of the Han people among the Xiongnu tribes, and he thought that the cowardly Han people were not qualified to occupy those places with fertile water and grass, and only their noble Huns were worthy of living in those places with pleasant climate and fertile water and grass. He repeatedly stressed to his people that the Xiongnu should not live in a harsh climate, but should enter the Han land and live a grazing life in those rich and beautiful places.
He instilled a concept of the weakness of the Han people to the people, and on the one hand, he promoted the beauty of the land of the Han Dynasty. It caused many tribes to yearn for the Han Dynasty and swore an oath to King Zuo Xian that they were willing to follow King Zuo Xian and live in the place of the Han people.
The clansmen migrated to live in the place of the Han people, and the previous Xiongnu Shan Yu had already made such a suggestion, and almost succeeded in moving the clansmen into the place of the Han people.
When he knew that Dong Zhuojin occupied Luoyang and controlled the Han dynasty, he knew that the opportunity for the Huns had come. He immediately sent a quick official to call Dong Zhuo a minister.
Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo is indeed a great Han Tong, he has learned Chinese characters very well, he seems to be rough on the surface, but in fact he has a very accurate grasp of the minds of some Han people. Moreover, he is no stranger to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has known him many years ago. He knew Dong Zhuo's attitude towards these Hu people, as long as he was willing to use them, Dong Zhuo would accept them, and he would also give them a certain amount of sweetness. After the Hu people of the Diqiang and other ethnic groups in Xiliang followed Dong Zhuo and supported Dong Zhuo to control Xiliang, many Hu tribes were able to move into the Xiliang area to live. If it weren't for the Hu people of the Diqiang and other tribes who were still very strong now, he would also want to lead the people to move into Xiliang and compete with these Hu people for territory.
He declared himself a vassal to Dong Zhuo, and his purpose was to take a fancy to the Hetao area, to get Dong Zhuo's support, to get the favor of the emperor who was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and to assign the annexed state to their Huns.
It's a pity that when Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he didn't dare to risk the world's disapproval and promised to give the state to the Huns. In addition, although the Huns were subordinate to Dong Zhuo, they did not give Dong Zhuo any benefits, and Dong Zhuo just casually perfunctory them.
However, Dong Zhuo was forced by the princes of the world to move the capital to Chang'an, and Luoyang was occupied by Liu Yi, and the army pressed the border, after Hongnong County fell into the hands of Liu Yi, Dong Zhuo had a deep sense of crisis, so he had to protect himself, hoping to unite the forces that could be united, and Liu Yi duel. And the Huns had the strength to fight with Liu Yi. In this way, Dong Zhuo will ignore the notorious reputation of being a traitor and give the state to the Huns.
With the holy decree of the Han Dynasty controlled by Dong Zhuo, Yu Fuluo felt that the time had come to occupy and annex the state. If he has a holy decree of the Han court in his hand, he will be able to become famous. can openly enter and merge the state.
Soon, he gathered more than 200,000 Xiongnu soldiers, in addition to hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen in the desert, and entered the state with them.
The guard of the cliff gate. As early as Ding Yuan was stabbed to death by Lu Bu, he had no intention of guarding it, and the imperial court did not appoint a new assassin of the state, making these border defenders seem to be forgotten people. There is no one to supply their military rations. In such a situation, in order to survive, they have already become robbers, and they have been closed by the cliff. Like ordinary aliens, they make a living by plundering passing merchants or people in the vicinity. Such a defender, can they still be expected to resist the Huns according to the cliff gate?
Therefore, as soon as the Xiongnu army arrived, the defenders of Yamen Pass fled from the wind, so that the Huns could easily enter the state.
Because there are countless Xiongnu herdsmen who drive cattle and sheep into the customs together, these cattle and sheep are equivalent to the logistics supply team of the Xiongnu army. Therefore, after they entered the customs, they were not in a hurry to loot the property of the Han people. Instead, they conquered the Han city step by step. Capture the Han Chinese and prepare them for life in Bingzhou.
The Xiongnu army, when they saw the soldiers of the Han people, fled without a trace when they saw the shadow of their army, and most of them believed the words of the Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo and believed in the cowardice of the Han people.
Sava was a Xiongnu warrior, but only a Xiongnu warrior, and he had a natural fear of the Han Chinese. Because, his family was killed by the Han army. Of course, his family was killed because his father had entered the Han border with a group of herders. They ransacked a Han village and killed dozens of Han Chinese. The Han soldiers followed the trail out of the pass, caught up with them, and killed their group of Huns.
At that time, Sava was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was still ignorant, hiding in the grass and seeing a family killed by the Han army, he was very frightened of the Han people from then on.
When he grew up, he had some strength and won the title of a warrior among the Huns, but he buried his fear of the Han people deep in his heart, and always thought that the Han people were extremely vicious people. This time, the king of the Xiongnu called on his people to move to the place of the Han people, he was very reluctant, he was afraid to see the Han people.
However, a herdsman girl he liked also drove all her cattle and sheep into the customs with her family, so he had to enter the Han people's place.
He had the name of a warrior, so he became a centurion in the Hun army, with a hundred sergeants under his command.
It was the first time he entered the place of the Han people, from the initial inner horror to the later freshness. As a centurion, he naturally will not show the fear in his heart, and many of his subordinates are veterans who have entered the Han land many times to commit murder. At the instigation of the veterans, his sergeants ransacked a village.
Sava didn't make a move, just watched, and he was surprised to find that the Han people were not as vicious as he thought.
He saw that when they appeared at the entrance of the small village, the Han people in the village fled like ghosts, shouting and fleeing wildly, and everyone was frightened and frightened. When his men slashed and killed those Han people who knelt on the ground and cried and begged for mercy, there was a trace of bloodthirsty pleasure in his heart. Also, he saw his sergeants hugging Han women, no matter how they ravaged, they only knew how to cry in horror, and did not dare to resist.
Suddenly, the perception of the fear of the Han people that had been suppressed for many years was instantly reversed, and the wolf nature in his heart was also stimulated at that moment.
After that, he began to participate in the looting and capture of prisoners, and began to participate in the ravaging of Han women.
Now, in Savoy's heart, there is a lot of contempt for the Han people. It turns out that the Han people are really so cowardly, how warm and pleasant the place where the Han people live, how bright and open the place where the Han people live, how soft the clothes of the Han people are, how sweet the food of the Han people is, and how smart the women of the Han people are. How can a cowardly Han deserve to have these?
The Han people's qiē, including land, houses, clothing, food, money, women, these qiē, all of them are theirs!
The mentality of Sava is the mentality of most of the Huns. After they entered the state too late, they had already forgotten the might of the Han people before.
With the order of the Xiongnu king, the Xiongnu finally occupied most of the land in Bingzhou, and countless Huns poured into Bingzhou from outside the pass. Started grazing in the Namju area. Then, the king of the Xiongnu ordered the army to assemble and rush to Jinyang, the most prosperous city in Bingzhou.
The same. The Han army fled, and after they arrived in Jinyang, there was no shadow of the Han army.
The Han army so non-resisted that the Huns got Jinyang, which made the general Huns even more disdainful of the Han people, and they were even more arrogant.
In less than half a month after the Huns entered the customs, they actually occupied Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou.
The news reached the ears of Hedong Tai Shici. Tai Shici almost didn't jump up and scolded Yuan Shao. Ya, you didn't defend it, but you didn't let your army enter at the beginning, but now you give a big city to the Huns in vain, what is the reason? Especially if he didn't fight, he fled without a fight, and he hated Tai Shi Ci's teeth, and he almost couldn't help but wave his army to fight the Huns.
In fact, when Yuan Shao heard that the Huns were preparing to enter the customs and occupy the state. He didn't think about fighting the Huns to the death. He occupied Jinyang just for Jinyang's money and population. What the Huns actually got was an empty city without many people. Among them, the population and money have been moved away by Yuan Shao.
Jinyang City was occupied by the Huns twice, last time, they did not have time to loot because the then Xiongnu king was assassinated and retreated, this time, although they occupied Jinyang again, but they couldn't catch anything at all. Most of the Huns were not reconciled. clamoring to kill to Luoyang, occupying the most prosperous capital of the Han people.
King Zuo Xian knew that Luoyang was now occupied by Liu Yi, and his fear of Liu Yi was the same as Nasava's original fear of the Han people. There is a deep shadow left in the bottom of my heart. Seriously, in his heart, he didn't want to provoke Liu Yi at all. He proclaimed himself to Dong Zhuo, just to get a state with a much better living environment than in the desert area. promised Dong Zhuo that if he sent the army to join forces with Dong Zhuo to attack Liu Yi, it would be all a fart.
Now. He got the holy decree of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty held by Dong Zhuo, and justifiably obtained the land of the state, and his clansmen also moved in a lot, which basically caused the de facto occupation of the state. His true purpose can be said to have been achieved.
In the heart of King Zuo Xian, he also knew that Liu Yi's new Han court would definitely not allow him to enter and occupy the state, and would definitely send troops to attack him and want to drive them away. It was because of this consideration that King Zuo Xian did not move all his clansmen to Bingzhou, nor did he invest all his troops. He led an army of more than 200,000 and brought hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen into Bingzhou, just to test Liu Yi's attitude. Of course, he also wanted to see how tough Liu Yi was, and he also saw that Liu Yi was too busy to take care of himself now, and he couldn't do anything to him for a while, he wanted to occupy the annex state first, and then watch the situation of the Han Dynasty clearly, and then make a final decision.
If Liu Yi is defeated by Dong Zhuo or by the Han princes, he will naturally fall into the well and send out the army together to strike the final blow to Liu Yi, completely eliminating the most hated and feared enemy in his life. However, in case Liu Yi was not defeated by Dong Zhuo and the princes of the world, he had to have another way to deal with Liu Yi.
He wants to have troops that can almost hold on to Liu Yi, and then negotiate with Liu Yi. Yes, it is negotiation, King Zuo Xian knows that the Han people like to negotiate peace the most, and through guò negotiations, he can continue to occupy and annex the state.
With the holy decree of the Han court held by Dong Zhuo, even if it was a trick, no matter what, he would occupy the state. He believed that he had an army of more than 200,000 for the time being, and as long as he occupied the entire territory of Bingzhou, he might not be able to resist Liu Yi according to the Yellow River. In order to be able to obtain the annexation state, he was ready to raise another 200,000 troops. However, to reconvene the army, military rations are a big problem, so he hopes that no matter what, he will stay in Bingzhou for three or more years, as long as he can negotiate peace with Liu Yi and let him stay in Bingzhou for three or more years, then it will be impossible to drive him away again in the future.
Therefore, his subordinates clamored to kill the Yellow River and occupy Luoyang, the capital of the Han people, and he was really not moved at all. He was worried, and called out to capture Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, isn't this a ** challenge to Liu Yi? So how can Liu Yi be easy to mess with?
Now, the situation is clear. Dong Zhuo has been repeatedly defeated by Liu Yi, and some time ago, the matter of the princes of the world wanting to crusade against Liu Yi has not happened until now. In such a situation, King Zuo Xian really didn't want to provoke Liu Yi, because, once he really provoked Liu Yi, he would face the situation of a decisive battle with Liu Yi, and in his heart, because of his fear of Liu Yi, he had no intention of fighting with Liu Yi at all.
Now, King Zuo Xian thinks most about how to gain a foothold in Bingzhou, how to deal with Liu Yi's army, and how not to be driven out of Bingzhou by Liu Yi.
However, the headache of King Zuo Xian was that his spies found that Liu Yi had sent an army to cross the Yellow River and stationed it in the east of the river. And if King Zuo Xian wants to take the state, he must prevent Liu Yi's army from entering the state, and Liu Yi's army, which is already in the east of the river, must be driven away before Liu Yi's army crosses the river, otherwise, it will be their Huns who will be driven out in the future.
However, the drive of Liu Yi's army by himself is tantamount to declaring war on Liu Yi, which really makes King Zuo Xian embarrassed.
Fortunately, he still had a lot of brains, and immediately thought of a way to send an envoy into Luoyang overnight
