Volume VII, The Comeback, Chapter 260: Beacon Fire
Lin Bin led his guards back to the camp before he entered the camp when he met the Hongling envoy from Xilin, he was surprised when he heard that the war in Wei's Korea was not going well, and he had sent more than 200,000 troops to attack from two directions at the same time out of caution, although Wei Meng, the lord of Wei's Korea, had prepared for war earlier, but in the face of the country with less than 300,000 troops, LΓΌ Yan and Jiahe should not be blocked in Liaodong without making any progress?
"What about Chief Han Anguo? How did he arrange it? β
Hongling hurriedly looked like a dusty man, he was a young man in his twenties, and his name was very simple, just one word to call Shuo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before coming to the Umu Grassland, Han Anguo didn't say much to Shuo, and Shuo didn't know how to answer, he was stupid, "Ah?" He was at a loss.
Lin Bin asked a different question: "Han Anguo asked you to come just to inform you that the war situation in Liaodong is progressing slowly, and there is no other explanation?" β
Shuo replied a little hurriedly, "Oh? Oh! Yes, yes...... The commander-in-chief asked his subordinates to ask the king: The war situation in Liaodong is stalemate, is it urgent to transfer the Black Flag Army south to participate in the war? β
Lin Bin inquired in detail, and asked General Shuo to describe what he had seen and heard in Xilin, and after hearing the news that Han Anguo was working hard to gather food for the front-line troops, that Xilin's operation to resettle civilians was going well, and that the Black Flag Army and the Tiger Army had been nesting in the original Sushen King City for five days after the Battle of Sushen was over, and so on, he understood the key to the matter!
"The front line lacks a general who can control the whole situation......"
Lin Bin was far away in Wumu, even if he wanted to make adjustments to the battle situation in Liaodong, it was too late, and he also understood that what he urgently needed to solve at present was an internal problem. Since the war in Liaodong is stalemate. Once the two armies formed a confrontation, it was not a matter of time to break the deadlock, so he decided to first remove the threat of the Xiongnu in the west and then rush back to Xilin to coordinate the overall situation.
"Bring a message to Han Anguo: The Black Flag Army needs to rest after a hard battle, and it can't go south for the time being. He only needs to ensure the logistics of the front-line troops, which is a great achievement! β
Things are in a hurry, Lin Bin probably knows that he can't be in a hurry with Han Anguo, if he is in a hurry, it will be bad, and people's personalities will not be able to turn quickly for a while, and it will take time to grind if he wants to make Han Anguo for his own use. As long as Han Anguo turns the corner, he will definitely be able to become an arm, after all, Han Anguo is a great talent, not only in military talent, but also in internal affairs. Otherwise, he would not have provoked the tattered burden of the Liang State after the war of the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kings', governed the Liang State in an orderly manner, and did not cause any more major chaos.
"You work hard, eat something, and rush back to Xilin immediately."
Shuo Ying: "Oh! "Stand down.
If you don't know how difficult it is to be in charge, if you don't lead the country, you don't know how to govern a country!
Lin Bin still didn't understand why the little Wei Dynasty was so difficult to fight, and when he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, he stood in front of the map and looked at the terrain of Liaodong. It wasn't until the scouts sent out reported that the detectives' eyes were removed from the map. He was a little surprised to see that Lin Ying came to report in person, "Tell me what you found." β
Lin Ying is the descendant of the lineage, and he has been following Lin Bin to fight in the north and south since he was in the county, and has been in charge of the scout camp. At present, most of the officers of the scout battalions of various armies are old men from the former Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. It can also be regarded as a cronie cultivated by Lin Ying. Don't underestimate such a force, they are the eyes and ears of each legion, and a large part of whether the battle is going well is actually a big part of the scout battalion.
"A large force of rangers was found forty miles away, and it was preliminarily judged that there should be 3,000 men and horses, but the enemy army did not erect a large number, so it was impossible to know which one it was. In addition, looking at the dust behind this army, should there be a large number of rear troops? β
"The speed of their march?"
"Return to the king: the enemy army is moving slowly. At the current rate...... It takes about a day to get here. β
"Forty miles a day? If the other side is cavalry, this is too slow! β
Lin Ying looked at his own monarch in a daze, he didn't know that Lin Bin was anxious about the war in Liaodong and wanted to quickly remove the threat from this side and rush back. He only thought that Lin Bin didn't care about the Hun cavalry, and asked himself: "Humble down and wait to monitor the enemy's movements from afar?" β
Lin Bin didn't say a few words of relief as usual, but raised his hand and waved it, and walked back to the front of the map to look at it intently.
The grassland is not as good as the interior, and it is difficult to design ambushes in grassland operations, and the war relies on frontal hedging, so the restrictions on the army are very large, and there must be a cavalry army that can compete with the enemy on the frontal battlefield, and it is empty talk to do anything without a cavalry who is worthy of heavy tasks.
The only thing to pay attention to is whether the affiliated army that fights with the army can block the left and right wings of the Hun rangers, if the two wings can't resist the pressure, no matter how good the frontal fight is, they can't quickly defeat the Hun army.
The Umu grassland is actually small in size, but its strategic position is very important.
Wumu grassland north of the Gonglu water (Krulun River), Gonglu water from the Xiongnu's old camp wolf Juxu mountain is only about two hundred miles, and from the wolf Juxu mountain to the west march is different, the wolf juxu mountain to the southeast all the way is grassland, during the period there are only a few mountains, the military minister Shan Yu failed in the western expedition did not retreat to the temporary royal court on the border of the Han State, but with the main force back to the wolf juxu mountain to rest, at present there are at least 100,000 cavalry in the wolf juxu mountain, that is to say, if the military minister is single to hold a grudge, he can raise 100,000 troops at any time from the wolf juxu mountain, Attack Lin Bin, who has just arrived in Liaodi.
Obviously, judging from the calm and calm of the northern side of the Umu grassland, the military minister Shan Yu did not send troops this time, and it should be the Huns from the Junji Mountain side who sent troops.
If Lin Bin guessed correctly, Weimeng of Wei's Joseon was not looked at by the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu, who was busy recuperating and planning to go west again. Junji Mountain has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Xiongnu, because Junji Mountain and Heshuo are too close, the size of Junji Mountain more than ten tribes are nominally under the jurisdiction of the right Xian Wang Jishan, in fact, Junji Mountain is in the hands of the left and right big and canal.
"Could it be that Youxian Wang Jishan controlled the tribe of Junji Mountain and got control of Junji Mountain?"
Lin Bin still didn't understand, but he knew very well that the internal struggle of the Xiongnu was very cruel, and if you didn't have the strength, who cared what kind of virtuous king you were, and wouldn't obey orders at all. Furthermore...... Hasn't King Zuo Xian always been entrenched in Choibalshan? And the east is under the jurisdiction of King Zuo Xian Saiyinda, and if you want to send troops, it should be King Zuo Xian to send troops.
It's very strange and incredible to say, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King has always been in charge of the east, he is a military minister who guards the east such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, and other tribes of the Xian King, but Saiyinda doesn't seem to like to be in charge, always nesting in Choibalshan doesn't know what he is doing, and every year he only sends his lieutenants to collect tribute taxes, and since Xianbei and Wuhuan suffered heavy losses last year, they simply don't send people to collect tribute taxes, and they have been ignoring what happened in the east.
Now that Lin Bin is entrenched in Liaodi, it is equivalent to encroaching on the territory of King Zuoxian, Saiyinda still has nothing to do, he still takes his 50,000 cavalry to nest in Choibalshan, occasionally leads the army to hunt further north, robs a few white-clothed women to ride, bullies and bullies the Caucasian tribe, and enjoys it in Choibalshan as always, so people really don't understand whether this Zuoxian King is a wine bag and rice bag.
Lin Bin seemed to remember that Chen Xi, who attacked Xianbei, said that after the defeat of Xianbei, the people migrated to ask King Zuo Xian for shelter, and the remaining more than 100,000 Xianbei people smashed into Qiaoba Mountain and were swallowed by King Zuo Xian without saying a word. Since King Zuo Xian has such clever means to swallow more than 100,000 Xianbei people in one fell swoop, this is enough to prove that King Zuo Xian is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag, so what is King Zuo Xian's idea?
Lin Bin did not have a map of the whole territory of the Xiongnu in this regard, and he did not know that Qiaoba Mountain and the Guyan Mountain of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Wangting (now Ulaanbaatar of the Mongolian People's Republic, one of the Qin Eight Mountains during the Warring States Period) were only a few hundred miles apart, and it was the closest habitat of the Xiongnu powerful tribe to the Xiongnu Shan Yu Wangting.
Lin Bin waited for a long time, and after waiting for two days in a row, the Hun army from the west only walked more than ten miles, which was slower than the speed of a turtle crawling. For the sake of the battle situation, he has been occupying a few rare heights in the Wumu grassland and did not take the initiative to attack, and sent scouts to venture close to the investigation many times, and came to a puzzled conclusion, the leader of the army is not a virtuous king, but a tribal king of the East and West Junji Mountains, and the total strength is only more than 50,000.
"What do they want to do? Drag our main forces here and other reinforcements from other directions? β
Shuang Na, who had just arrived from the Han border, said, "Where are there any reinforcements?" Youxian Wang Jishan was injured and died in Gaoque from Guangmu's vitality in the first battle, and Youxian Wang Saiyinda sent troops to bully the Caucasian tribe in the north, fart reinforcements! In my opinion, they must have been too frightened by our 120,000-strong army to advance? β
Han An suggested: "Why don't we take the initiative to kill and test it?" β
Lin Bin thought about it, there was no other good way, now time is good for everyone, but it is not good for the Han Department, so he agreed with Han An's suggestion and let Han An and Shuang each lead the headquarters to test.
This Han An and Shuang had just come out of the big tent of the Chinese army, but as soon as the front foot left, Shuang ran back again, and he took out a secret box from his arms and was a little embarrassed: "Hehe! I just forgot about this thing......" said with a fist and turned to leave.
Lin Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head, a few of his neck robes were also frosty, this kid can do this kind of thing. He opened the box and twisted the wooden plank, and the pupils of his eyes shrank obviously......
"Liu An waited for the king to reverse a month ago? Liu Che worshiped Dou Ying as a general, and led 300,000 steps, horses, and cars to quell the rebellion? β
