#晋王吕布传#

Needless to say, Tuoba Jiefen was full of ambition, and suddenly heard his father Tuoba Lin arrange this, and the whole person was completely messy and stunned.

Tuoba Lin sighed lightly, not at all as confident as Fang Cai, and said in a low voice: "The Han people have a saying, the cunning rabbit always has three caves. The Hetao pasture is fertile and can be obtained by our people, which is a godsend, but because of this, the Han people will not give up. ”

After speaking, Tuoba Lin no longer looked at Aiko's face that was eager to defend himself, raised his hand to stop what he wanted to say, looked up at the void, put his hands behind his back, and paced slowly, looking quite worried, and his voice was extremely solemn and serious because of this.

"The Han Dynasty is in civil strife, the court is weak, after so many years, our clan is recuperating and recuperating, and its strength is increasing day by day, if you can give my clan another ten or twenty years, don't say that according to the Hetao, it is not difficult for the clan to go south and drink the Central Plains. Alas, what a pity! ”

Tuoba Lin let out a long sigh, stood at the tent door, and looked at the south in a daze, as if he could see the rich and prosperous Central Plains through the thick tent.

Tuoba Jiefen felt the melancholy and vicissitudes in his father's words, quietly moved behind him, and said in a low voice: "Father, Lu Bu, although this time sending a large army to attack, although there is the benefit of the crossbow, but our clan is not bound to be defeated......

Tuoba Neighbor turned around suddenly, and when Tuoba Jiefen just came into contact with his father's gaze, he couldn't help but lower his head, and what he wanted to say was interrupted, and he couldn't continue.

"My son can come up with a good strategy for attacking and harassing war, which shows that he is more clever than his uncle's generation, and he can bear the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of my clan. In this battle, our iron cavalry is better than the Han cavalry, no matter the number. Or strength, are better than the Han cavalry, but, the Han army has a crossbow weapon, although our clan is difficult to say defeat, but it is also difficult to say that it will win, can my son understand the key here? ”

Tuoba Jie Fen nodded repeatedly. The signal was completely understood, but he still defended it loudly: "The Han army is on an expedition, as long as our iron cavalry is still there, under the harassment, the Han army is overwhelmed and it is bound to be difficult to continue. ”

Tuoba Lin shook his head. He patiently explained to Tuoba Jiefen: "Of course my son is very right, but don't forget, the Han Dynasty is in civil strife, and the prefectures and counties have their own ways, and the chariot and cavalry general Lu Bu started from the state and has now won Guanzhong. Dingdu Chang'an, beheaded Han Sui, subdued Ma Teng Ma Chao, pacified Xiliang, he sent a large army north at this time, the intention was very obvious, that is, to take advantage of the continuous disputes in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, to recover the Hetao. Combine the states with Guanzhong and Xiliang to consolidate the sphere of influence, and then compete for hegemony in the Central Plains and unify the Han world. ”

Seeing that his beloved son Tuoba Jiefen looked a little dazed, Tuoba Lin sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but put his beloved son in front of him and Lu Bu, the general of the Han Dynasty. made a comparison, and the result made him speechless.

In terms of age, Aiko Tuoba Jiefen is a few years older than Lu Bu, the general of the Han chariot cavalry. But today's achievements can be said to be one in the sky and the other on the earth.

This is only one aspect, if you compare the vision and mind of the two, Tuoba Lin is even more helpless to find that not only is the beloved son Tuoba Jiefen much inferior to Lu Bu, but even worse is that it is beside Lu Bu that a group of capable people have gathered, and the Han people who can give him advice, Lu Bu can rise in just a few years, and these Han people who give him advice have played an extremely important role.

In such a comparison in his heart, Tuoba Lin felt that this time Lu Bu sent troops to attack, he had to deal with it more carefully, and he had to prepare for the worst.

In the blink of an eye, Tuoba Lin made a decision again in his heart, turned his head, looked at his beloved son Tuoba Jiefen again, and said: "Even if the Han army returns in vain this time, Yu Lu Bu and Han Ting, they have not broken their muscles and bones, and they have been recuperating for several years, they can make a comeback, but even if our clan wins, the damage will definitely not be light, and it will take longer to recover." ”

"Therefore," Tuoba Lin concluded, "for the survival of our clan and the long-term prosperity of our clan, my son needs to lead the elite cavalry to escort women and children before the war starts, pass through the Yin Mountain, and return to the prairie in the north, so that if our clan wins a great victory, everyone will be happy, and if so, if our clan is defeated, the clan will have a way out." ”

Speaking of later, Tuoba Lin was already embarrassed, he sighed in his heart, back then, the Xianbei clan, unified the prairie, controlled more than 100,000 strings, how strong it was, the iron horse swept the world, he had been afraid of the Han court, but now, just a few years, the king of Tanshihuai is gone, all the tribes are strife, the originally strong Xianbei clan, the speed of disintegration, even faster than the Han Empire, is three points faster.

Tuoba Jiefen was silent for a moment, and finally accepted Tuoba Lin's arrangement from the bottom of his heart, from the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to personally lead an army and Lu Bu's army to compete in the Hetao Ranch, but reason told him that his father's arrangement was very important to the entire Tuoba Xianbei family, and because of this, his father would only rest assured if he handed over this matter to him to handle it personally.

"Father," said Tuoba Fen, seeing that his father seemed to be pondering there again, "when should the child depart?" ”

Tuoba took a long breath and replied slowly: "It's not busy, this matter still needs to be discussed with your uncles, and all departments must also be transferred to the elite horses, as well as the women and children who need to return north in advance, once this matter is completed, you can set off." ”

Tuoba Jiefen agreed, he didn't know that just now, his father Tuoba Lin temporarily changed his mind and expanded the scope of returning north to ten Tuoba clans, not just one of Tuoba clans.

For this reason, after Tuoba Lin discussed the details with Tuoba Jiefen, he summoned the commanders of the various departments again, but this time the discussion was not how to meet the enemy, but how to build another retreat road north of Yinshan Mountain.

Just when Tuoba Lin convened various departments and intensively implemented the strategy of the three caves of the cunning rabbit led by his son Tuoba Jiefen, the two-way army led by Xu Huang and Ma Chao, as well as the Xiongnu elite cavalry commanded by Hu Chuquan, under the unified coordination of Xu Shu, left Meiji and went north, and the first target was Manbo City, which was occupied by Tuoba Xianbei.

Manbo used to be the garrison of General Duliao, subordinate to Wuyuan County, close to Meiji, and in terms of topography, outside the city of Manbai, that is, the grassland, and Meiji is located on the edge of the Hetao grassland, which is the transition with the continuous mountains, from the Hetao to the vicinity of Meiji, the earth seems to suddenly have countless folds, from flat to undulating.

To the east of Manbo, there are the two cities of Shanan and Jiling in Yunzhong County, which are respectively held on both sides of the river, and down the river, there are Tongguo in Dingxiang County, as well as the two cities of Wucheng and Luoxian.

Therefore, Xu Shu's plan was to take Manbo first, and then the army went east, took the two cities of Shanan and Jiling, and then attacked Dingxiang, and cooperated with Zhang Liao's army from Yanmen, flanking back and forth, and taking Dingxiang County.

As soon as the army came out of Meiji, the scouts were scattered in a range of fifty miles before and after the army, like a large net spread, as soon as there was a wind and grass, Xu Shu, who was located in the center of the net, could immediately learn about it, and had enough time to make the necessary response.

So cautious and cautious, it was before sending out the troops, Lu Bu had roughly explored that Tuoba Xianbei ten troops, the elite cavalry that could be gathered, the total number of cavalry exceeded 10,000, if Tuoba Xianbei concentrated his troops, with the combined strength of the three armies of only 7,000 elite cavalry, the crossbow was in a hurry, and it was difficult to play an effective role, not only is it difficult to say that it will win, but there will also be the possibility of defeat.

From Meiji to Manbai, only dozens of miles away, in the evening of the same day, Xu Shu received a report from the scouts that Manbo was already an empty city, and the Tuoba Xianbei Department stationed here had disappeared.

The remnant sun is like blood, reflecting half of the sky, and even Xu Shu's Chinese army tent is covered with a layer of bright red, such a celestial spectacle is often regarded as a harbinger of a fierce battle.

Inside the big tent, Xu Shu and the others didn't notice the celestial wonders outside the tent at all, but their faces were solemn and they were pondering.

The military information reported by the scouts was well known to everyone present, and the question was, what was the intention of Tuoba Xianbei to give up the door to enter Wuyuan County so easily?

Hu Chuquan has some relationship with the Xianbei people, pondered for a moment, and took the lead in speaking: "Sir, according to what I see, although Manbo belongs to Wuyuan, it hangs alone on the south bank of the Great River, away from Wuyuan County and Jiuyuan, and the surrounding cities, which is farther away than Meiji. ”

If the Tuoba army chooses to fight a decisive battle with the Han army in the Jiuyuan area, they can rely on their geographical advantages, while the Han army wants to transport grain and grass from Meiji.

Ma Chao and Xu Huang both nodded and agreed, Xu Shu also listened to it reasonably, but in his heart, he always had a little worry, and he always felt that Tuoba Lin gave up Manber so easily, and there should be some hidden intentions behind it.

However, now that the information is insufficient, even if Xu Shu thinks that he is wise, it is difficult to deduce Tuoba Lin's intentions just based on such a lack of consultation.

After pondering for a while, Xu Shu had to nod in recognition of what Hu Chuquan said, pointed to the location of Manbo on the map, and said to everyone: "Since Tuoba is so generous and generous, let Manbo go, of course we have to take it and run it into a fortified city with Meiji as horns, and then the original strategy remains unchanged, the army marches eastward, and forces the two cities of Shanan and Jiling in Yunzhong County, first to meet with Zhang Liao's army in Dingxiang County, and then talk about others." ”

In short, that is, the situation of Manbo Empty City, without affecting the strategy plan that is already underway, Xu Shu is still ready to fight steadily, concentrate his forces, first seek to be invincible, and then seek a good opportunity to win.

This also means that although Xu Huang and Ma Chao are mainly led by elite cavalry, whether they are marching or fighting, they have to maintain the same action with foot soldiers and crossbows, so that they cannot give full play to the mobility and flexibility of elite cavalry.

Xu Huang is okay, Ma Chao is fighting with Xianbei for the first time, and he said to Xu Shu with some disapproval: "Since Tuoba Xianbei intends to fight a decisive battle with our army in the Jiuyuan area, why not concentrate your forces, go straight to Jiuyuan, borrow the power of the crossbow, and take advantage of the elite cavalry, and decide it in a battle?"
