Chapter 242: Xianbei Grain and Grass are Tight

And Tuoba Hong did not live up to Helian's expectations, as long as Murong Feng made a slight move, Tuoba Hong would report to Helian, and even in private in order to win the name of the marshal, he slandered Murong Feng a lot of words, in Tuoba Hong's eyes, Murong Feng, who was defeated by the Louyi clan, is not worthy of being the supreme commander of Xianbei at all, and he is not capable of being the supreme commander of Xianbei, this expedition is for Xianbei, but a battle of life and death, if he is defeated, it will be really difficult to recover his vitality without decades, and such an important battle is actually handed over to a defeated general to command, How could Tuoba Hong, who was actually in control of the military power, not hide it?

Young and ambitious, the surname is exaggerated, so happy, no one in his eyes, this is the best explanation for Tuoba Hong, all this kind of people, can not bear someone riding on the head.

"Humph!" I saw Tuoba Hong snorting coldly in the tent, leading everyone to sit on both sides, with an indescribable arrogance.

In fact, He Lian did not hand over all the military power to Tuoba Hong, because Tuoba Hong's surname, He Lian is also clear, he can become a minion, but he can't become a hero, and at the same time, in order to better restrain Murong Feng, he was not played by the scheming Murong Feng, and even seized the military power, and Helian arranged another person.

This person is the big leader of the bald department, Bald An, who was the old courtier who originally followed Tanshi Huai, and also one of the most heartfelt people to Tan Shihuai, but Bald An and Murong Feng were not cold, before Xianbei was not divided into three departments, Murong Feng and Bald An were the two most fierce people, it can be said that they were the same as water and fire, and the two of them were one in the Xianbei tribe, and they were the right-hand men of Tanshi Huai.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Maotou and Lian to be loyal, and after the death of Tan Shihuai, he is also the first person to have a heart of self-reliance, the reason why he will send troops this time is just to fall into the mouth, Bald An understands his ability, at most he can be counted as a general, as long as Murong Feng does not die, Bald An will not dare to oppose Helian, and will even obey Helian's orders to clamp down on Murong Feng.

Because Vulness has no confidence and is the enemy of Murong Feng, who is known as the God of War, Vulness understands Murong Feng's ability, although the two don't look at each other correctly, but they are the people who know each other best except for Tan Shihuai, Murong Feng knows that Vulf An has the heart of self-reliance, and Vulness knows that Murong Feng will protect and connect wholeheartedly.

Others may not know, but Bald An knows a secret, when Murong Feng was originally loyal to Tan Shihuai as a free man, he was not a slave! A low, lowly, lowly slave! And because of this, Bald An will always look down on Murong Feng, and it can even be said that in the eyes of Bald An, Murong Feng is not qualified to be compared with himself at all, in the Xianbei tribe in the west, anyone who dares to say that Bald An and Murong Feng are compared, no matter whether they say good or bad things, Bald An will be severely punished, and even kill people because of this, some people will say that Bald An is irrational, as a big leader, how can he do things without thinking, and do this, will not be suspicious, or cause the restlessness of his subordinates, or even turn against Bald An?

In fact, it is not, Bald An is a military general, it is because of Bald An's recklessness and Murong Feng's loyalty, Tan Shi Huai will make up his mind to divide Xianbei into three, in Tan Shi Huai's view, the two departments can not be able to join forces, and it can even be said that they are competing against each other, so that they can not only supervise their successors, but also cultivate the inheritor's wolf surname, internal instability, it is always the best time to appear male lords, of course, this is the conclusion drawn by Tan Shi Huai from the chaotic war of the Han people over the centuries.

And the current situation is just like the arrangement of Tanshi Huai, Bald An is afraid of Murong Feng, and Murong Feng is loyal to the Tanshi Huai line, which has caused a situation where Murong Feng can stabilize Xianbei as long as he is in the first place, and the descendants of Tanshi Huai and even control Murong Feng is equivalent to controlling the three Xianbei tribes, establishing their own authority in the major tribes, and bringing the princes and ministers to order the princes... Well, it seems that the Central Plains brought the Son of Heaven to make the princes rebel.

"Tuoba Chief, this marshal ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, don't you agree?" Seeing that Tuoba Hong's idiot could see the dissatisfaction, Murong Feng asked indifferently.

"Don't dare!" Tuoba Hong is not a fool, Murong Feng is a handsome, if he can't get along with Murong Feng on the bright side, he can't explain it to Helian, not to mention that the forces present at this time are not Tuoba Hong's forces, and there are many leaders in the west of Bald'an.

"I wonder when the commander is going to attack Shanggu? According to the latest report, the forward troops of the Han army, a full 60,000 elite iron cavalry, have been stationed on the Great Wall of Guangning. If this leader is not mistaken, the marshal has not given the order to build siege equipment such as ladders. Tuoba Hong's face was ugly, although the art of war was very different from Murong Feng, but at least he knew that when attacking the city, it was impossible to collide with cavalry!

"En..." Murong Feng nodded, meowed a glance at Bald An, and found that Bald An, who had always been short-tempered, now looked very calm, even like the Han people said to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!

"Does the leader of Tuoba think that the cloud ladder built by my Xianbei improvised can attack the well-defended and geographically advantageous Guangning Great Wall?" Murong Feng took a sip of tea, since the first day of contact with tea, Murong Feng found that he liked this kind of soothing taste, with a hint of bitterness and a hint of sweetness, as if implying that there is no perfection in life, there are good and bad.

Tuoba Hong frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "No, the Great Wall of Guangning stands on the high ground, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you use human lives to pile up, I am afraid that the brothers will all die, and they will not be able to enter the Great Wall of Guangning!" ”

The corners of Murong Feng's mouth brought a hint of a smile, and he didn't think that Tuoba Hong, who had always been known for being arrogant and arrogant, still had such an opinion, so he nodded and said: "Tuoba Leader is indeed a young hero, as long as I hone it for a few more years, I will have a successor..."

Tuoba Hong's face suddenly turned purple, Murong Feng's words were a little ugly, although it sounded like a compliment, but the problem was that Tuoba Hong and Murong Feng had equal status, or the actual commander of the army, Murong Feng was just a puppet, and he actually praised himself like this?

But why did Tuoba Hong feel a hint of pride? Why? In fact, it is not to blame Tuoba Hong, although Tuoba Hong is arrogant, but he also grew up listening to the heroic stories of Tanshi Huai and Murong Feng, the reason why he looked down on Murong Feng later was only because Murong Feng was not only defeated by the Han army, but also lost to a small clan like Lou Yi, so that under the collapse of the idol in his heart, he would naturally start to dislike Murong Feng, unconditionally disgusted, just because Murong Feng destroyed the faith in Tuoba Hong's heart.

"Humph!" Tuoba Hong snorted coldly, but he didn't have a seizure, but said loudly: "Since you can't attack the city, please come up with a way, is it possible that my Xianbei 400,000 iron horsemen go south, just to visit the majestic Great Wall of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Murong Feng also felt that his words were a little inappropriate, but he covered up the past very well, and when he heard Tuoba Hong's question, he shook his head and said: "Otherwise, Liu Tai has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he can't live forever, from the perspective of this commander, when Liu Tai's army arrives in Guangning County, he will simply invite Liu Tai to go out of the customs and fight to the death, so that not only can he reduce unnecessary losses, but also avenge the revenge of the past year!" ”

"I agree with Dashuai's idea!" Surprisingly, it can even be said that it is incredible, Bald An actually agreed with Murong Feng's plan, and there was no room for approval, this... It's a weird situation.

The contradiction between Bald An and Murong Feng is well known, although the two are known as Xianbei Arms (Left and Right Arms), but they have never had the same opinion once, when Tan Shi Huai was alive before, he could still suppress the contradiction between the two, but the problem is that now Tan Shi Huai has been dead for several years, and the prestige left behind has long been thrown to Java after the defeat of Linghe.

Tuoba Hong was also stunned, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only obey Murong Feng's arrangement, and the dead horse should be a live horse doctor, but the problem is that the bald hair can't agree so quickly, if the bald hair is on Murong Feng's side, this military power may really be lost....

"Dashuai has thought that my Xianbei grain and herbs are not rich, and now it is a cold winter, and the cattle and sheep have not been sent to the army, they will freeze to death and frostbite, if it is delayed any longer, then the king asks, how should I deal with it?" Since the bald hair agreed, Tuoba Hong naturally couldn't accept it so quickly, otherwise Murong Feng's prestige in the army would be re-established, and in the eyes of the soldiers, he would also think that Murong Feng had subdued the two deputy marshals!

"Huh? This problem is indeed serious! Murong Feng nodded, in recent years, Xianbei has been cold for many years, and cattle, sheep and horses have suffered heavy losses, this war, it can be said that Helian has reduced the supply of the royal court by two-thirds, increasing the supply of various departments, and it can even be said that it is desperate.

"How much grain and livestock are there in the army?" In previous years, Xianbei went south to plunder the Han border, and it can be said that he never brought grain and grass, because the Han Dynasty was the grain and grass warehouse of the Xianbei army, as long as he looted several counties and counties in the frontier, there were countless exquisite utensils and grain and grass materials.

But the current situation is different, Liu Tai in order to prevent Xianbei to the south as much as possible, after the surrender of the Southern Xiongnu, has strictly ordered no animal husbandry outside the pass, even if you want to develop animal husbandry, you must also be in the heavily guarded area, such as the emerging two counties in the north, the development of animal husbandry is very prosperous, but without exception, these cattle, sheep and horses are raised around the garrison, and the object of supply is also the first choice of the local garrison.

Hearing Murong Feng's question, a little leader who looked like a gentleman stood up and arched his hand: "Captain Yu, there are still 20,000 cattle, 150,000 sheep, and 40 tons of grain and grass in our army, which is enough for the army for a month!" ”

"It's a lot..."Murong Feng nodded, northerners have a big appetite, especially in winter, if they can't eat enough, let alone fight, it's not enough to keep out the cold, for the amount of grain in the army, Murong Feng is still satisfied, let alone a month, Murong Feng is sure, at most two days, Liu Tai's army will arrive in Guangning County.

"Did the king send the follow-up grain and grass?" Murong Feng's complexion changed, remembering that Liu Tai had entrusted Gongsun to spend a month in the Zhangwu Grassland, and directly dragged down Gongsun Du's army of 250,000.

"According to the latest Malay report, the king has ordered the second batch of grain and grass to be delivered. But..."The grain overseer hesitated a little, slurred, and stole a glance at Tuoba Hong.
