On the third day of September in the first year of Guanghe, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Upper reaches of the Ling River
Huang Zhong, who was the secretary of the military department, stood in the pouring rain, stared at the water with cold eyes, and asked the soldier on the side, "Has the water level arrived?" ”
"General, the water level has arrived, and if we don't release the water, the dam will collapse." Xiao Xiao said as he looked at the monstrous water with a face full of approach.
"Order, chisel the dam to the southwest!" Huang Zhong's eyes narrowed and said coldly.
"No!" The little colonel looked overjoyed and hurriedly went down to arrange the breaking of the dam.
After the junior colonel left, Huang Zhong looked at the southwest with a sneer and muttered: "Xianbei army, hum, under the power of heaven, the invincible iron cavalry in the world is no more than a joke." ”
Light and the third day of September in the first year, two o'clock in the afternoon.
"My lord, it's time to retreat." Xi Zhicai walked into the big tent and said to Liu Tai, who was still wiping the overlord halberd.
"Oh? All arranged? A smile hung on the corner of Liu Tai's mouth, and he looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.
"Yes, my lord, the Xianbei army has been exhausted under the night invasion of my 20,000 army, most of the sergeants have been moved into the Chinese army tent by the new Xianbei king, our army has withdrawn, as long as the movement is not too moving, it will not be discovered by the Xianbei army." Xi Zhicai bowed down and said with a solemn expression.
"Okay, great, this battle will completely annihilate the Xianbei army, and the north will be stable." Liu Tai laughed out loud and got up and said.
Xi Zhi, who was standing next, heard Liu Tai's words, frowned slightly, and said with a little hesitation: "Lord, this war, we should take it as a fisherman's benefit, and it is better to let Xianbei Bei return." ”
"Hungry? What does Zhicai mean by this? Liu Tai looked at Xi Zhicai with a stunned face and asked, he really couldn't figure out which play Xi Zhicai was playing.
Xi Zhicai raised his head and looked at Liu Tai, staring at Liu Tai with bright eyes, as if he wanted to see half of Liu Tai's heart, and said softly: "Dare to ask where the lord is?" ”
Liu Tai was stared at by Xi Zhicai and felt uncomfortable, touched his nose and said: "Cough, cough, Tai naturally aims to calm the people and seek well-being for the people." ”
Xi Zhicai heard Liu Tai's words, and smiled disdainfully: "If the lord is not determined to be in the world, please Xu Zhong retreat to the mountains and forests after this battle, so as not to die at the hands of others in the future..."
Liu Tai's face changed greatly by Xi Zhicai's bluntness, and his expression kept changing, sometimes white and sometimes red, and finally Liu Tai seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Taizhi is in the world, and Wang Zhicai teaches Tai." ”
Xi Zhicai heard Liu Tai's rebellious words, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he bowed indifferently and said: "In this case, please let the Xianbei army go north!" ”
"Huh? Why did Zhong want Tai to let the tiger return to the mountain, it can be known that the 50,000 Xianbei elites here are the great enemies of our Han Dynasty, if they are not divided, after a few years, they will definitely be a big trouble for my Han henchmen..."Liu Tai looked at Xi Zhicai with a puzzled face and asked.
Xi Zhicai smiled confidently, walked back and forth a few steps, sighed and said: "That is the case, loyalty will be made clear to the lord, this war, if Xianbei is completely annihilated by the lord, the tribal magnates will die in this battle, Xianbei will be in chaos internally, and he will no longer be able to go south within a few decades, but this is not good for the lord, the lord can know that the reason why the lord can now control the army of tens of thousands is because Xianbei went south to Koubian, if Xianbei is beaten and has no temper, he will definitely ask the court for peace, after the peace, then the court will ask His Majesty to recall the lord, Isn't it a pity that the lord's efforts in northern Xinjiang have all been in vain? ”
Liu Tai was in a cold sweat by Xi Zhicai's words, if he was really recalled to Luoyang, wouldn't the foundation he had worked so hard to build be completely ruined? Seeing Xi Zhicai's confident appearance, Liu Tai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Tai is stupid, Wang Zhicai taught me how to deal with it." ”
Xi Zhicai hurriedly dodged Liu Tai's salute, stepped forward to help Liu Tai and said, "The lord is so resting, he can't afford to be loyal." ”
Without waiting for Liu Tai to answer, Xi Zhicai continued: "If the lord wants to solve this situation, it is not difficult, as long as he returns to the new king of Xianbei and Lian and Murong Feng and others, when the flood is flooded, the Xianbei camp will definitely be washed away, we only need to collect grain and grass, materials, war horses, equipment and other things, let He Lian and others leave on their own, but we can't let them all go, give them three or four thousand remnants to return to the north, that is, it will greatly hurt the vitality of Xianbei, and you can also bury the hatred of the Han in your heart." ”
Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai paused, and then continued: "The lord killed Tanshi Huai, he is the mortal enemy of Xianbei, as long as Helian and Murong Feng are still there, under the pressure of the clan, no matter what, he will not beg for peace with the Han Dynasty, and then the lord can justifiably obtain the position of Youzhou Assassin by virtue of his military exploits, and after a few years of cultivation, hundreds of thousands of Youyan iron horsemen, the army points out, who dares to stop its edge?" ”
Liu Tai heard Xi Zhicai's words, and suddenly realized, and bowed to Xi Zhicai again with a happy expression: "Zhicai does not lose my Zhang Liang, if there is no Zhicai to guide him, Liu Tai will almost make a big mistake." ”
Xianbei Big Tent
"Hey, this battle is too bad, when will our Xianbei army be bullied like this by the Han army." A patrol of cavalry, wandering aimlessly in the northern camp, led a centurion, said with a helpless face.
"Yes, centurion, our Xianbei army has become a frightened bird recently, as soon as I heard the sound of the hooves of the Youyan cavalry, I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to close my eyes when I slew, for fear of dying under the random arrows of the Youyan Iron Cavalry." A knight behind the centurion said with a frightened expression.
"That is, in the middle of the night last night, the wooden road sleeping next to me was killed by Youyan Tieqi's random arrows, at that time, I didn't dare to think about it, in the tent, directly countless random arrows broke in, and three or four people were shot into hedgehogs, if I didn't hide in time, I'm afraid I won't die." A knight shook his head.
"Hey... Don't say it, don't say it, the more you talk about it, the more you feel in your heart, when will our Xianbei heroes be bullied by Han dogs, hey..."The centurion waved his hand irritably, and then suddenly stopped his horse, frowned slightly, and moved his ears and said: "What sound do you hear, what do you think of the hooves of the Youzhou Iron Horse?" ”
"No, it's thunder." A knight with a more sensitive ear answered with a puzzled expression.
"Well, it's not thunder, but the problem is that this is Beiying, how could the Han army come here to sneak attack?" The centurion rode north on his horse in confusion, thinking that the Han army had come to attack the camp, wanting to see what was going on and then make countermeasures.
