"The strength of Yan Liyou is not weak."

In the arrogant reply, there was no mention of whether Yan Liyou would call. Because, it's not a problem at all.

The interaction between the grassland people only depends on the strength. Powerful tribes can do whatever they want. Even if they are weak tribes, they must put on a desperate appearance that they can bite you to the death, in order to deal with the exploitation and blackmail of other powerful tribes.

"It is precisely because he is not weak that he should pay special attention."

Cheng Yu has undoubtedly thought deeply about this issue. He stroked his three-foot beard and began to analyze.

"According to the division of Xianbei people, a 'yi' is two to three thousand accounts [one account is slightly equivalent to a household]. Based on the calculation of one account and one soldier, Yan Liyou can gather nearly 30,000 soldiers at most. ”

"A soldier of this size is enough to suppress our army. With such a great enemy on the side, whatever our army wants, it will be contained. If Yan Liyou connects with the rest of the Xianbei adults and joins forces to go south, our army will be in danger. ”

"Is it possible to persuade Yan Liyou to join forces with our army to deal with Danhan Mountain?"

Insolence is not a belligerent person. There is no benefit in fighting with Yan Liyou, and winning the battle. This kind of battle is best if it is not fought.

"Barbarians have never had credibility. Yan Liyou made an agreement with our army today, and when he saw our army leave tomorrow, Meiji was empty, and he would definitely take advantage of the void to enter. If he is not taught some profound lessons, how can this person be honest? ”

After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Zhang Qiang raised his head and asked:

"What must be the clever plan for what the gentleman said so?"

"I don't dare to do it. It's just a military book. ”

Cheng Yu solemnly looked at Zhang Madness with his solemn eyes, and said word by word:

"Surprise it, attack it unprepared!"

Hearing Cheng Yu's idea, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but shiver. He turned his head, looked inside the big tent, and made sure that there was no one else, then lowered his voice and said to Cheng Yu:

"Sir, do you mean that our army will strike first and raid Yanliyou?"

Cheng Yu didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

Insolence was silent.

Cheng Yu didn't say much, sat aside, and slowly drank the bitter tea soup. Over the years, driven by insolence, he has become accustomed to the taste of tea. This thing seems to have some magical power, and after people drink it, it has a very aftertaste.

"Okay, it's up to Mr.

Insolent decision, not slow. In fact, he originally had the idea of taking the initiative. It's just that after the capture of Meiji, everything is busy, so that the arrogance has no time to separate.

Cheng Yu's strategy seems to be risky, but it is not dangerous.

Summer is the golden time for grazing on the grasslands, and it is also the season for livestock breeding, and the herders are mostly busy at this time. Although Yan Liyou could theoretically gather nearly 30,000 troops from the herdsmen under his subordinates. But in the summer, when the grazing task is busy, he is afraid that even the guards around him will have to be sent out to do some chores.

Moreover, the even better thing is that the Tai marching army needed to deal with the harassment of the army led by the company, but the two sides were closed at the touch of a button, and the battle became a contact battle. At this moment, hearing the news of Helian's expedition, Yan Liyou was afraid that no matter what, he didn't expect that Tai Xingjun was actually interested in taking the initiative to attack him after dealing with Helian!

This suddenness is the best opportunity to launch a surprise attack in war!

The idea was set, and the Tai Xing army began to prepare from the same day. Cheng Yu brought enough field rations for 3,000 people for twenty days, as well as a large amount of feed for horses. With this batch of materials that were originally used to deal with the company as logistics, Zhang Qiang only needed to select the troops that were suitable for the battle, and he could set off immediately.

Then, the next day, on the grounds of "preventing the Xianbei people from attacking", Zhang Qiang led a large group of cavalry, one man and two horses, and advanced towards the north. It is foreseeable that what awaits these brave warriors is bound to be a new round of bloody storms!

In the fifth year of the Great Han Dynasty, June 20.

The sky is cloudy and rainless.

The comet is in the sky, and the Lord should kill it.

A group of embarrassed herdsmen, with scars on their bodies and blood on their horsehairs, rushed into the tents of "Hedaiyi" with panicked expressions.

"What's going on? Has the man been killed? ”

Seeing these refugees, the herdsmen of "Hedaiyi" were also terrified. In just two days, they had seen six or seven waves of riders in this image. The entire "Hedaiyi" has long been filled with rumors about how terrible the Han army was and how it killed.

- Did the big man, the big man in the south, the rich and powerful big man, come over again?

Some young herdsmen have not seen the majesty of the Han army with their own eyes. However, many of the herdsmen of the older generation participated in the "Battle of Sunset Plains" that year. For the power of the Han army, the older generation of herdsmen often can't help but shudder when they try their best to belittle it.

-- It's June! This is a June day on the grassland, so hot that you can't even wear a leather robe!

――How can anyone shiver?

The nimble herdsmen naturally saw the doorway. As a result, in private, the combat effectiveness of the Han army was quietly exaggerated several times. Some imaginatively rich boys even swore that the Han soldiers and soldiers were all eight feet tall, with a waist circumference of eight feet, and their faces were full of meat.

Of course, these absurd rumors will not reach the ears of the big leader of the "Hedai Yi", who commands the eight surrounding "Yi" and has the title of "Adult".

However, the banquet that did not hear these rumors was also in a bad mood. Because, he heard the "truth" of the current situation.

Yan Liyou is forty-five years old this year, but he looks much younger. On the grassland, at his age, he can be called an old man. However, when Ren Sui saw this burly man with a square head and big ears and two eyes like knives, he would not associate Yan Liyou with the word "old man".

Although Yan Liyou is a powerful helper under the King of Tanshi Huai, however, in terms of ethnicity, Yan Liyou actually belongs to the Xiongnu species. That's the law on the steppe. Whichever tribe is the most powerful, the other tribes will spontaneously use the title of this tribe to show submission and ensure the safety of their own tribe.

When the Xiongnu were strong, the other tribes all called themselves the Xiongnu. Now that Xianbei is strong, those small tribes naturally spontaneously become Xianbei people. In fact, if we strictly follow the appearance of the Xianbei species of "yellow hair and white skin", more than eighty percent of the herdsmen who call themselves "Xianbei" today are fake.

The sudden arrival of the Han army, numbering more than 2,000, swept away the small groups of herdsmen who had scattered to carry out nomadic production. Due to the large number of people on the other side and the well-equipped, it has been confirmed that there are 27 temporary small tribes and more than 600 "tent" herdsmen, who have been poisoned by the Han army.

As for the small tribes that have not been reported, I don't know how many. It's just that Yan Liyou estimates based on his own experience, and the number is probably not below the number of confirmed tribes.

Due to the seriousness of the situation, Yan Liyou has issued a comprehensive warning and assembly order to the tribes under him. However, in the vast but sparsely populated grassland, even with the best war horses, it is impossible to notify all the herdsmen in time. Yan Liyou's optimistic estimate is that he can gather 5,000 people within five days, which is quite good.

However, fortunately, Yan Liyou heard the news that King Xianbei and Lian had quietly gathered soldiers a month ago.

Although in the news that came, the target of Helian's troops was the Han army that occupied Meiji in the south. However, as a cautious tribal leader, Yan Liyou still quietly gathered a thousand soldiers, along with his five hundred personal guard cavalry, and watched the situation develop vigilantly.

With this kind of vigilance, even if he Lian is playing the trick of "striking the east and attacking the west", Yan Liyou will not be afraid. This is also the reason why as soon as the Han army appeared, it was discovered by the herdsmen under Yan Liyou.

However, the expected Helian army did not come, but waited for the Han army in the south. This result was something that Yan Liyou never expected.

――Could it be that Helian colluded with the Han army?

This assumption is extremely absurd.

The reason why Tanshihuai was able to dominate the territory of 10,000 miles from Liaodong in the east to Dunhuang in the west was that it was with the prestige of the 30,000 Han troops in the Battle of Sunset Plains that the tribes of the Xiongnu homeland expressed their subordination. If He Lian colluded with the Han army, as soon as the news spread, he would immediately fall to the bottom by relying on the prestige that his father had established in Xianbei in the west.

However, there don't seem to be a few tribes in the western Xianbei now, and they are obedient and connected......

Thinking about it this way, Yan Liyou felt that it seemed not impossible for He Lian to collude with the Han army. Maybe Helian wants to increase his prestige on the grassland by obtaining the canonization of the Han family?

can make Yan Liyou, who is known for his resourcefulness and decision-making, so entangled in his heart, in the final analysis, because the news is not enough. However, these tangled considerations could not prevent Lord Yan Liyou from making the final decision.

Anyway, for the invading enemy, there is only one war so far.

is also a smart person, Yan Liyou's biggest advantage over Helian is that he knows how to match his ambition with his own strength. Doing everything within one's ability, but never flinching easily, is the key to Yan Liyou's ability to take a high position in the "Great Xianbei Country" with a Xiongnu relic.

There was only a World War, and that's it.

ps: The second watch is here, and the handicapped party can't afford to be hurt!?
