Chapter 115: Greed is a Disease

Kebineng, who is entrenched in the area of Ning County, has been a little annoying recently, in the words of the Han people, he is now difficult to ride a tiger, and he is in a bit of a dilemma.

Before he led his troops to attack Youzhou, he had already said the big words, saying that this trip would definitely take huge benefits from Youzhou, but the reality turned out that the fox meat was not eaten, but it caused a commotion.

Liu Yu was not as timid and afraid as Kebi could imagine, and the Han army was not as cowardly and cowardly as the Xianbei people imagined. In the battle by the water, the Xianbei people paid more than 2,000 casualties, but they could not break through the chariot formation temporarily surrounded by the Han people, but their own casualties exceeded those of the Han people.

The population of the entire Han Dynasty was originally dozens of times that of the Xianbei people, and if the war was still fought according to this casualty comparison in the future, the Han people would not be hurt by hundreds of thousands of casualties, but the Xianbei people would face the danger of extinction!

Kebi Neng now feels palpitations as long as he thinks of the Han general in white robes, even the first warrior of the tribe is not the opponent named Zhao Yun, just this person, in just a few days, actually killed more than a hundred of the strongest men in the tribe!

Zhao Yun's terrifying lethality not only poses a great threat on the battlefield, but also has a bonus effect on the morale of the Han army, and has a counter-effect on the morale of the Xianbei cavalry.

A Zhao Yun has made Kebi Neng extremely hateful, but there is another Xia Houlan who is not afraid of death by this person's side to assist him, as long as these two stay in Macheng for a day, Kebi can think that with his current strength, he will not dare to venture deep into Youzhou to invade, otherwise he will face the danger of being cut off and the whole army will be destroyed.

The people who Kebineng sent to Ningcheng to question Yan Rou didn't make him feel any better if they brought it back. Yan Rou, a scoundrel, claimed to have given up Ningcheng in strict accordance with the agreement, and he did not help Liu Yu attack Kebineng, so he was trustworthy. If you have to blame, then you can only blame the Xianbei people for their incompetence, nearly 20,000 people besieged the Han army food team in the wild, and they couldn't succeed when the strength was five times that of the other party!

Kebineng really wanted to fight the shameless Yan Rou, but he knew that this was exactly what Liu Yu wanted to see. Moreover, although Yan Rou's troops have not participated in the battle, the combat power of the Wuhuan cavalry is not much worse than that of the Xianbei people, and when the number is basically equal, there is only one result of the battle between the two sides, that is, both sides are defeated.

Seeing that more than half of the food snatched from the vicinity of Ning County had been consumed, Kebineng suddenly didn't know what to do next.

During this time, the scattered Tanma often came back to report to Kebineng, saying that he had found a group of Han cavalry of about four to five thousand people patrolling back and forth on the south bank of the river, and the general who led the team was the "martial madman" Zhao Yun.

Kebi Neng heard that Zhao Yun led the team, and there were 5,000 cavalry under his command, so he washed and slept directly. As long as Yan Rou stayed in Guangning for a day, Kebineng would not dare to go all out to besiege this small force of Zhao Yun patrolling out of the city, in case it was a strategy set up by Liu Yu and Yan Rou, Kebineng would take the troops south from Ningcheng here, and Yan Rou would come to capture Ningcheng, it would be sad.

Ke Binengke remembered that there were still 10,000 main forces of the Han army in the Gaoliu area that had not participated in the battle, once this army was blocked from the south, plus the defenders of Macheng and Yan Rou's troops, it would be nearly 50,000 people, and in the field without cover, only God knows how much this army he brought could survive.

After entering Youzhou, the large and small dock forts built by the Han people, like a solid turtle shell, have made Kebineng's subordinates suffer a lot of losses, although some small dock forts were eventually completely slaughtered, but the Xianbei people now see the dock forts built by the Han people, they are trying to hide as far away, and do not want to take their lives to change.

If the Xianbei people are scattered in Youzhou, then these dock forts distributed in various counties and townships will become a chain of deadly dock forts, eating the Xianbei people piece by piece.

Just when Kebi was uncertain and tangled in the pain, Tanma came to report again, saying that after the surname Zhao sent the second batch of grain teams of the Han army into Macheng, he came out with soldiers and horses!

Kebineng, who was trapped in Ningcheng, had already watched Zhao Yun send the Han army's grain team into the city, and Yan Rou had not moved during this period. Now, Zhao Yun is out of the city again, and the soldiers and horses he brings are still 4,000, what is he going to do?

Kebineng hurriedly sent his capable subordinates to reconnoiter the lower reaches of the river, only to learn that there was a Han army grain team that was far larger than the first two groups, and was slowly coming west along the route traveled by the first two groups of grain teams! Moreover, the Han army escorting this grain team only had a thousand infantry!

Kebineng, who was already dead, began to stir again in his heart after receiving this information.

Do you want to launch a surprise attack with the whole army before evacuating Youzhou? Although there will be risks, as long as Yan Rou is secretly bought and let him come late for a while when he sends troops, then he will rob the Han army's grain and grass and immediately withdraw to Danhan Mountain, which can be regarded as an explanation to various tribes.

Greed is like a devil that, once released from the cage in the heart, swells and grows incorrigibly. The greed in Kebineng's heart finally triumphed over reason, and he still couldn't help but send someone to Guangning to negotiate with Yan Rou, hoping to cooperate with Yan Rou again.

Kebi Neng asked Yan Rou to send troops to help him later when besieging the Han army's grain team, on the condition that once he succeeded, he would immediately withdraw from Youzhou and give Yan Rou the great credit for recovering Ning County.

In Kebineng's opinion, the condition he proposed was actually a win-win situation, it didn't require Yan Rou to lose a single soldier, but it could allow him to gain great prestige in recovering the lost territory, and it could also weaken Liu Yu's strength, Yan Rou should have no reason to refuse.

Recently, Kebi was able to get inside information from Guangning, knowing that Yan Rou had pretended to be a road bandit and robbed Liu Yu's grain team before, but he suffered a loss, so he sent someone to cooperate with him. Judging from this incident, it shows that the relationship between Liu Yu and Yan Rou is actually not good, but they are just using each other, since the relationship between Yan Rou and Liu Yu is not unbreakable, Kebi can feel that this is an opportunity to take advantage of.

After Yan Rou saw the envoy sent by Kebineng, after thinking about it, she really agreed to Kebineng's proposal, and asked the messenger to bring a message to Kebineng, saying that she was coerced by Liu Yu last time, and for the safety of her family, she had to send troops from Guangning, in fact, she hated Liu Yu very much in her heart.

After the messenger returned, he reported in detail to Kebineng about the meeting with Yan Rou, and Kebineng also grasped from the side that Yan Zhi was coerced by Zhao Yun from Guangyang, so he firmly established the idea of "grab a handful and leave".

However, what Ke Bineng would never have thought was that when he was calculating Zhao Yun and the grain team, a guy from Jicheng was discussing with Zhao Yun, Li Yan and others how to deal with him, and Yan Rou, who was entrenched in the Guangning area, was also doing some small actions behind his back.

Yan Rou's small action was very simple, that is, he sent his brother Yan Zhi to quietly leave Guangning and run to report to Zhao Yun, saying that Kebineng was going to rob the grain team again, and reminded Zhao Yun to take precautions.

Although this action is small, there is actually a vicious intention behind it.

Yan Rou would never kindly remind Zhao Yun for no reason, he actually wanted Zhao Yun to be fully prepared, and Ke Bi could defeat both, and no matter what the result of the Han army was, the biggest winner would actually be him Yan Rou.

Even if the Han army's grain team is finally destroyed, it will also cause a huge backlash to Kebineng, and then Yan Rou will lead the army to ambush Kebineng on the north bank of the revenge water, not only driving Kebineng, who is greatly injured, out of Youzhou in one fell swoop, but also rightfully occupying this huge amount of grain and grass!

If Kebineng saw that the situation was not good and retreated urgently, and the Han army's food team did not suffer too many casualties, then according to the previous agreement, Yan Rou could still come to capture Ningcheng with confidence. At that time, whether Kebi can abide by the agreement or not, it will no longer matter the overall situation, because when he leaves Ningcheng with the main force, it means that he has given up Ningcheng.

In short, Yan Rou's calculation is to let Kebi not get any benefits, and he will get out of Youzhou with his bare buttocks, as for the grain team of the Han army, if Zhao Yun can protect it, he will not have any ideas, if Zhao Yun can't protect it and is snatched away by the Xianbei people, Yan Rou will not be polite, as long as it is not directly snatched from Zhao Yun's hands, Liu Yu can't blame Yan Rou's head afterwards.

After Liu He and Zhao Yun converged in the Zhuolu area, they walked west for four days, and on this day they came to the location where Xiahoulan was first attacked by Yan Rou, that is, fifteen miles south of Guangning City.

Last night, there was suddenly one more person in Liu He's camp, but it was Yan Rou's brother Yan Zhi. When Yan Zhi saw Liu He, he almost sweated. Although I don't know why Liu He went to danger with his life, such important information was not grasped by his brother, and it definitely shouldn't be. In Yan Zhi's opinion, since Liu He dared to come to Macheng, the grain team must have made full preparations, even if he didn't come to report the news, Kebineng would not be able to get any benefits.

In fact, when Liu He listened to Yan Zhi's "whistleblowing", he did not show much fear and worry, on the contrary, Yan Zhi saw an expression called excitement and anticipation on Liu He's face.

Liu He was really looking forward to it, not deliberately pretending to be calm in front of Yan Zhi.

Don't look at this time, he only brought a thousand infantry to protect the food, but this thousand infantry is all the crossbowmen under the command of Xian Yuyin! Why is the size of the grain team far larger than the previous two groups? Because in addition to carrying a large amount of grain, the convoy also hid some secret weapons that Liu He asked all the craftsmen in Jicheng to urgently make!

Not to mention the batch of Takahashi saddles and two-legged stirrups that were secretly made, just talking about the dozens of boxes of four-legged iron thistles can make the Xianbei people suffer a big loss when they rush over! There are also more than a dozen bed-defying crossbows hidden in the convoy, this thing is like a big sniper in later generations, the giant crossbow arrows that are more than a foot long and as thick as a child's arm, whoever is next to him will die!

Now Liu He is escorted by Zhao Yun and Sun Li, and there are two brothers Shi A and Ding Jing close to him to protect him at all times, and Li Yan is constantly giving advice, if Kebi can really dare to come, this time he will not be able to eat and go around!

PS: Liu He is going to the side, starting from this chapter, the pig's foot halo is opened, and Liu He no longer has to live aggrievedly! Dear friends, please vote for the recommendation in your hands to Nando.
