PS: Corrected later, about two o'clock.......................................................................................................................................... Now it is Murong Xianbei who has fled back to the prairie, in addition to Yuwen Xianbei, Duanbu Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei, and Qifu Xianbei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNow it is the Xianbei people who dominate the Mongolian steppe, which are thousands of miles long, and they are very prosperous, coupled with the demise of the Xiongnu, Qian, Di, Qiang and other ethnic groups, which further highlights the situation of the Xianbei family.
Just one Murong Xianbei dared to compete with the Central Plains, if so many Xianbei tribes gathered, how powerful and terrifying such a force would be.
Fortunately, these tribes are fighting each other, the current Xianbei, there has not been a leader like Tanshi Huai, even the figure of Kebineng is gone, now Murong Xianbei's Murong Shigui, Duan Xianbei's Duan Wu Muchen, Tuoba Xianbei's Tuoba Yilu Although they can be called a generation of heroes, they all want to unify the grassland tribes and become the supreme ruler of the Xianbei tribe, but they have been competing for power for many years, but no one can suppress anyone, the Xianbei tribes stand on their feet and attack each other, This undoubtedly gave the Han army a good opportunity to break through.
After a winter break, the Han army was full of morale and fighting spirit, and after the seven armies stationed in Jizhou arrived in Youzhou, the Han army was neat, with sufficient grain and grass, and was waiting for Liu Yin's order to prepare for the northern expedition to Xianbei.
In recent years, Xianbei people have caused disaster in Youzhou, especially last year, they invaded Jizhou, rampant to the extreme, although the battle of Zhangshui gave them a big lesson, but in the face of the brutality of the Xianbei people, the soldiers of the Han army were full of righteous indignation, this Northern Expedition, are ready for revenge, that is, blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
Liu Yin divided the 230,000 soldiers and horses of the Han army into three routes, together with the 20,000 Youzhou soldiers commanded by General Du Liao, and stationed them in Yuyang in the center, Daijun in the west, and Changli in the east.
The generals of the Han army are also gearing up, ready to do a big job, with the arrival of peace in the world, but the battles are getting less and less, whether they can rely on military merits to raise their titles to the next level, naturally these generals are careful thinking, this Northern Expedition Xianbei, is the last few opportunities.
But as the days went by, Liu Yin's side never gave the order to march, and the men and horses of the armies were still trained in addition to training, so that the generals were waiting for the eyes, but they couldn't wait for the news from the Chinese military tent.
The generals couldn't help but secretly slander, I don't know what Liu Yin's intention is, to set up a three-way army in Youzhou, can you scare the Xianbei people?
This is obviously impossible, Xianbei people are not vegetarians, these demons who kill people without blinking, you have to beat him with his fists so that he can't get up, maybe he will bow his head and admit defeat, just by intimidation, I'm afraid it won't play any role.
Someone also tentatively asked Liu Yin for his life, and the answer he got was very simple: "Stand by and be ready at all times!" ā
This can't help but make many people wonder, Liu Yin only asked the army to stand in place, and did not reveal the time of sending troops at all, does Liu Yin really not know the truth of the speed of soldiers?
Can now be Liu Yin's authority in the army, who dares to question Liu Yin's decision in person? Therefore, there are many discussions among the generals below, but no one dares to say it to their faces.
Of course, some people don't believe in evil, so they went to compare with Liu Yin, and made a bet with the generals, saying that he had to ask for an ugly man.
Of course, this person is none other than Liu Yin's sworn brother Zhang Le.
When Zhang Le went to the Zhongjun tent to look for Liu Yin, Liu Yin happened to be sitting there alone reading the papers, and a large pile of documents was thickly packed there, piled up like a mountain.
Before Zhang Le could speak, Liu Yin raised his head, snorted and laughed, laughing inexplicably, thinking that his helmet was crooked or the armor was worn backwards, he touched the helmet and touched the armor, dressed neatly, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Big brother, what are you laughing at?" ā
Liu Yin suppressed his smile and said: "Second brother, after so many years, you are still the same old look, others fool a few words, you believe it, and you come over to ask the long-term, don't you know that military secrets are the top priority in the army, and if they are leaked for no reason, they need to be engaged in military law." ā
Zhang Le couldn't help blushing, and said curtly: "Big brother, then you already know about the bet I made with them?" ā
Liu Yin snorted softly and said, "What thing in the army is difficult to hide from my eyes?" You treat military secrets as child's play, and you still use them to gamble in the army, and for this alone, you can be rewarded with a hundred military sticks according to the law. ā
Zhang Le was taken aback, but he also saw that it was Liu Yin's intimidation that threatened him, and he might not really want to engage in military law, so he couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and said with a shy face: "Don't, my ass doesn't need to be beaten." ā
"I see that you have rough skin and thick meat, and you can eat it, and besides, this time you will be exempted, and next time you don't remember it for a long time, you have to violate the military order."
"Don't take it as an example, this time the eldest brother will raise your noble hand and spare the younger brother."
Liu Yin smiled, he didn't plan to really take Zhang Le, just a few words of ridicule, anyway, he was idle, he looked down at a few pages of documents, looked up, and found that Zhang Le was still standing still, so he said, "What, haven't left yet?" Do you really want to wait for military law to deal with you? ā
Zhang Le scratched the back of his neck embarrassedly, and said: "Big brother, you also know that my little brother and I, if I don't understand something, I can't even sleep well. ā
Liu Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "You, you really don't die if you don't see the Yellow River, you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, okay, in fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the reason why you don't move now is just that the time has not come, and when the time is ripe, you will naturally be ordered to send troops." ā
Zhang Le's eyes widened and said, "The time is not right?" Big brother, don't be fooled, marching and fighting, it's important to be fast, this spring is almost halfway over, you have been doing this all the time, is it difficult to wait for the Xianbei people to take the initiative to surrender? ā
Liu Yin laughed and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and now I'm in a hurry to march, it's a harmful and useless thing, Xianbei people take the initiative to surrender, although it's impossible, but if they don't wait for them to lose both, it's not the time for us to send troops?" ā
"Lose-lose?" Zhang Le's eyes widened, and after talking for a long time, he still didn't understand what Liu Yin said.
Liu Yin handed him a document and said, "Take a look at it yourself, don't you understand." ā
Zhang Le took the letter suspiciously, glanced at it a few times, and suddenly realized, and suddenly opened his mouth.
