Zhao Yun soon received a reply from Ma Cheng, he fully agreed with Liu He's approach of not announcing the victory of Baishan City for the time being, Zhao Yun believed that as long as the method was right, this time it was completely possible to conceal and deceive Ke Bineng, so that he would make wrong decisions and judgments when attacking Youzhou.

Just imagine, if Kebineng thought that the Xianbei people in the east were attacking Baishan City or had already captured Baishan City, he might deploy the main force in the direction of Baishan City, and this happened to fall into Guo Jia's calculations.

In order to cover up the traces, Zhao Yun sent a cavalry force to collect all the corpses of the Xianbei people scattered outside, and asked people to find a few big pits in the white mountain, and then threw all the corpses of these Xianbei people into the pit, which was filled with more than a zhang of thick soil, which was regarded as a collective burial for the dead Xianbei people.

The location where Xu Rong intercepted the Xianbei people was far away from Baishan City, and the total number of Xianbei people who died here was close to 9,000, so the task of collecting the corpses and covering them up after the war was more troublesome. However, Xu Rong also had a way, he organized the captured Xianbei captives and let them bury their dead companions by themselves, which could not only alleviate the hatred and hostility hidden in the hearts of the Xianbei people, but also make his warriors more relaxed.

Those traps and hidden piles have been filled and uprooted by Xu Rong's order, and all kinds of pitterres' gadgets such as thistles have also been recovered for reuse in the next war. In the future, this is the range of activities of the Youzhou cavalry, and the Xianbei people can no longer afford to patronize it, if they do not restore this place to its original appearance, they will all be their own people in the future.

A few days later, it snowed heavily on the grasslands. It just happened to cover up some traces left by the successive wars some time ago. When the snow melts, it will be difficult to find that there have been several fierce battles in this field unless you deliberately investigate.

In order to conceal the truth and reveal the false. At the same time, in order to alleviate the pressure on the supply of grain and grass in Baishan City, Zhao Yun and Zhang He decided to divide the more than 8,000 Xianbei captives captured in the city into two batches and transport them back to Ningcheng.

Zhang He took the lead by dressing 4,500 Xianbei captives into Han military uniforms and wearing fur hats on their heads to cover up the very ugly beards of the Xianbei soldiers. Then let these captives carry the banner of the Youyan Army, lead the war horses of the Youyan Army, and then under the escort of 1,500 Youyan cavalry. Swaggered back to Ningcheng.

A few days after Zhang He left, Zhao Yun brought the remaining Xianbei captives back to Ningcheng in the same way, but this time he asked the soldiers to play the banner of Xiao Cavalry Guard, and the escort was the Youyan cavalry in the early 1,000s. After three major battles, the cavalry of the Three Thousand Youyan Army. More than 500 people were killed in the battle. Their bodies were also brought back to Ningcheng together. According to the tradition of the various armies in Youzhou, the remains of the sacrificed soldiers can not be discarded, all transported back to the military capital mountain, buried in the cemetery of the fallen soldiers, each soldier who sacrificed has an inscription and epitaph, every year Qingming and Zhongyuan Festival accept the memorial of all walks of life in Youzhou, enjoy the incense offering, in order to show respect.

The Youyan army escorted the Xianbei captives away in two groups. All the soldiers and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Guard changed into the clothes of Xianbei soldiers and stayed in Baishan City, and the lord of Xianbei in the east was designated as a puppet by Zhao Yun. Nominally occupies Baishan City, but in fact it is under the surveillance and control of Du Ji.

There is a cavalry training camp of the Youzhou Training Regiment in Ningcheng, and now there is no cavalry training in the camp, so it can be used to detain these more than 8,000 Xianbei prisoners. Although raising these captives is a great expense and burden, for Liu He, who is never too young and strong, even if he captures all the nearly one million Xianbei people in the north as laborers, he will not feel overcrowded. Youzhou is now in the stage of large-scale construction, and there is a shortage of Xianbei slaves who are as powerful as cattle in various mines and construction sites, and Liu He, as the biggest "slave" leader, has made a windfall from prisoners of war over the years.

While Zhang He and Zhao Yun were returning to Ningcheng with their captives in batches, Xu Rong and Sun Li of Donglu were also doing similar things. Compared with Zhang He and Zhao Yun's caution, it was obviously easier on the east side, Xu Rong asked Sun Li to lead the cavalry to bring all the captured Xianbei war horses back to Diping, and he himself was personally responsible for escorting nearly 7,000 Xianbei prisoners back to Diping on foot. The appearance of the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people is similar, and these two races were originally separated from Donghu, so when Xu Rong escorted the Xianbei people back, he said to the outside world that he had fought with the Wuhuan people east of Baitan Mountain and captured some prisoners back.

After Sun Li completed the task assigned by Xu Rong, he joined up with the Tang Mengbu who was still cruising near Baitan Mountain, and the two marched west with three thousand dragon and tiger guards and two thousand cavalry guards, and the target was naturally Baishan City, which was more than two hundred miles away. The four thousand light cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Guard lost 1,000 cavalry in a frontal battle with the Xianbei people this time, although it made people feel distressed, but it was also an inevitable thing. Even if the Youzhou cavalry took advantage of the equipment and geographical advantages, the Xianbei people who fought hard were not weak cats and dogs, and they still caused a certain degree of casualties to the 7,000 cavalry responsible for interception.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He left Baishan City one after another, and the city needed a general with outstanding military force to assist Du Qi in defending the city, and Sun Li was currently the best candidate. Although the strength of the Dragon and Tiger Guard cavalry is limited, but one more strength is one more chance of victory, Xiao Cavalry Guard after a series of battles, now the number of casualties is also rising, after the Dragon Tiger Guard's three thousand light cavalry supplemented, the combat power is the same as before the war.

When Liu He learned that Zhang He and Zhao Yun had arrived in Ningcheng, he sent Murong Ping to take over, responsible for the defense of Ningcheng and the care of the Xianbei prisoners. Guo Jia also secretly returned to Macheng from Gaoliu, and the defense was entrusted to Xiahoulan.

After everyone met, Zhao Yun first praised Zhao Yun and Zhang He fiercely, making the two generals uncomfortable, and they were humble, and at the same time desperately pushed the credit to Liu He and Guo Jia and other planners.

After the polite greetings, Liu He returned to the topic and said with a serious face: "The war on the western front of Youzhou can be divided into two parts, and now we have successfully annihilated the enemy from Xianbei in the east, which can be regarded as a good start. However, the greatest threat to Youzhou is still in the state of the state, and our old opponent Yuan Shaojun is also very restless, from the recent intelligence analysis, Kebi can make a lot of preparations for us, now the central Xianbei cavalry is also equipped with a high bridge saddle and two-legged stirrups imitated from Youzhou, the Xianbei people also forced the craftsmen of the four northern counties of Bingzhou to rush to all kinds of large siege equipment day and night, Kebi Neng now even has nearly a hundred large catapults, and others such as crash cars, well fences and ladders are countless. ”

Kebineng now occupies the Shuofang and Jiuyuan counties of Bingzhou, and occupies most of the Yunzhong and Yanmen counties, and he forced the Southern Huns, Han Chinese, and Qiang people in these places to continue farming, and to provide food and grass for his troops. Seeing him act like this, it is clear that he wants to occupy these places for a long time, and after laying a solid foundation, he slowly plots to annex the southern part of the state, Youzhou, and Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao saw Kebineng's ambition, he wanted to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, in a vain attempt to use Kebineng's power to consume Youzhou's strength. In its current form, we are facing two strong enemies on the Western Front at the same time, one is Kebineng and the other is Yuan Shaojun. ”

"This time, we must make a partial adjustment of our strategic intentions, not only to repel the invasion of the central Xianbei, but also to drive the central Xianbei back to Mobei from the four northern counties of the merged state, so that their vitality will be greatly damaged, and they will not dare to invade the territory of our Han Dynasty in the south within five to eight years! After the Han Dynasty regained its vitality and strength, we will send troops to the desert to drive the Xianbei people out of the north like the original Huns, or even wipe them out completely! ”

When Liu He said this, he clenched his right fist and punched hard in the northern part of Bingzhou, a military topographic map, with an undoubted look of confidence and perseverance on his face.

When everyone saw this, they suddenly looked awe-inspiring, and they all sat upright, looking forward to the magnificent scenes in the future.

Liu He made up his mind and intention, and the rest was specific planning and planning. Guo Jia, director of the Dragon and Tiger Guard Division and the Director of the Praise and Painting Division, first said: "If you want to make the central Xianbei dare not look south for five to eight years, you need to do your best to use all kinds of means and new weapons to hit the invading enemy with the power of thunder, completely destroy their confidence, so that they will no longer have the determination to fight against me!" ”

Zhao Yun agreed with Guo Jia's opinion and said: "The Xianbei people believe that the cavalry is brave and good at fighting, thinking that they are the masters of the prairie, so Youzhou confronted them head-on with cavalry, and lost their courage in a battle. The Xianbei people thought that our army could only rely on the danger of the city to hold on, so our army lined up outside the Great Wall and fought a decisive battle with it, so that they knew that the attack of the Youzhou infantry was also incomparable! ”

Zhang He said in a deep voice: "If we arrange our troops to meet the enemy in this way, our troops will be slightly insufficient, and it is best to transfer the Zhenbei Army to the western front, so that the chances of victory are greater and more secure." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "There is no need to transfer the Zhenbei Army to participate in the war, although Kebineng has more than 70,000 soldiers and horses to go south and merge with the state, he needs to leave at least about 20,000 troops in order to consolidate the land occupied by the counties in the rear." At present, our army has concentrated a total of 50,000 cavalry coalition troops on the western front, including the Xiaocai Guard, the Dragon Tiger Guard, the Youyan Army, the Baishan City and the Wuhuan reinforcements, as long as the dispatch is appropriate, it is enough to form a local strength advantage over the Xianbei people who come to attack, and divide and annihilate them! ”

"What does Fengxiao mean, is it to induce Kebi to divide the army?" Liu He asked.

"Exactly. At the beginning, after the defeat of the enemy's sailors, Kebineng once led the remnants of the tribal warriors to break through from the direction of Baishan successfully, presumably he must have remembered that road. This time, we deliberately concealed the true result of the battle of Baishan City, in order to make Kebineng have illusions and lure him to divide a group of soldiers and horses to go around to the north of Baishan, so that we can set up an ambush and solve this army and horses. In addition, Gongzi also made arrangements on Daqing Mountain, as long as the Xianbei people destroy the monument, they can also be severely damaged. Combined, these two sides can cut at least 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses from Kobineng, and as for his remaining main force, we can concentrate all our forces and fight it head-on! ”

Guo Jia has always spared no effort to calculate the Xianbei people, and this time to deal with Kebineng, he still takes one step and looks at three steps, and sees the Xianbei people's greedy and cunning temperament in his bones. (To be continued......)
