Wei Feng didn't answer, but his eyes flickered, looking straight at the grassland to the north, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Daolian couldn't help asking, "General, what are you thinking?" ”

"Hey~~" Wei Feng sighed in the sky: "This Hu tribe is like a weed, the wildfire is inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows, the overlord of the grassland was the Xiongnu earlier, but since the Warring States Period, after more than 700 years of war between Qin and Zhao, and even the two Han calendars, today's Xiongnu have basically gone except for some scattered small clans and Liu Bobo.

But the Huns lost the status of the overlord of the grassland, and were taken advantage of by the Tuoba clan, now the Tuoba clan is about to fall, the grassland overlord has been replaced by Rouran, I am sure, even if the Rouran is destroyed, there will inevitably be a new race, the northern border people are always precarious, when is this a head! ”

Miss Chen couldn't help but complain: "Where are there so many Hu people in the world? Didn't they live well on the steppe? Why do you keep going south? ”

Wei Feng waved his hand: "The grassland is thousands of miles wide, and I am afraid that no one knows how many tribes there are, the competition between the tribes is fierce, the big tribes enslave and plunder the small tribes, and the small tribes never forget to strengthen themselves in order to replace the status of the big tribes, there is no order here, only naked plundering and killing, but don't look at their daily internal fighting, as long as there is a natural disaster, they will unite to invade the south."

When the climate is warm, the grassland is rich in water and grass, and the Hu people will not easily go south, but when the climate becomes dry and cold, cattle and sheep and other livestock will die in large numbers, and the Hu people will have to go south to prey for their livelihood, which will bring boundless catastrophe to the people of the Central Plains. ”

Wei Feng looked worried about the country and the people. Cui Hao was in awe and arched his hand: "The general's words are very subtle, after the world is unified in the future, he can connect the old Qin, Yan, Zhao, and Wei Great Wall to resist the invasion of Hu Qi." ”

Wei Feng shook his head and said: "The Great Wall is a thing that looks good but is not practical, blindly defending will always be broken through one day, the key is to be strong itself, on the one hand, to fight by force, on the other hand." to lure it. Dismount, settle, and gradually naturalize! ”

Although Wei Feng didn't have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty, he still admired the way the Tatars dealt with the Mongols, so he added: "Between me and Rouran. Sooner or later there will be a war. Postwar. I won't completely wipe out Rouran, because if Rouran goes, other tribes will inevitably jump out. It's hard to prevent it from growing in a hidden corner, and in any case, it's always easier to deal with opponents on the surface!

I will take the power of the great victory, invite the Rouran Khan and the clan to enter the court as officials, and will not be allowed to leave the capital half a step for the rest of his life, and divide the Rouran and the affiliated tribes, delineate the grazing range, and strictly prohibit crossing the border.

At the same time, the Hu people are encouraged to build cities and settle down, vigorously develop the commercial and trade exchanges between the Central Plains and the grassland tribes, and try to ensure the most basic living requirements of the grassland herdsmen, so that they will not go south to plunder because they are desperate, and at the same time, there is also a point, Buddhism must be promoted on the grassland, and those who believe in Buddhism, enjoy a high status, and those who are Dacheng will be given the title of Dharma King, and the Dharma King and his affiliated monks will not pay taxes, do not serve, and will be supported by herdsmen, so as to cultivate a decadent and industrious privileged class, so that the grassland people can see the benefits of believing in Buddhism, so as to gradually replace the primitive and barbaric shamanism. ”

"Oh~~" Wang Daolian suddenly realized: "General, this is a desperate plan, better than thousands of troops, Buddhism is gentle, persuading people to be good, not producing, except for chanting scriptures and sitting on the throne, it is not a proper business, over time, it can wash away the ferocity of the Saiwaihu people, and the more people who believe in Buddhism, the less the population on the grassland, and eventually shrink to the point that it can no longer pose any threat to the Central Plains!" ”

Not only Xu Daofu, but even Cui Hao is extremely admired, such a poisonous plan is no longer something that people can come up with, at least his thinking is still limited to building the Great Wall.

Cui Hao immediately praised: "The general is really clever, with this good plan, within a hundred years, the Hu clan will no longer be troubled!" ”

Xu Daofu also followed: "Huiyuan Zen Master is highly respected, the Dharma is exquisite, and he is currently cultivating in Lushan Donglin Temple, if he can invite his old man to go to the outside of the Saiwai to preach the Dharma and cross the Hu tribe to be fierce, this is a great merit!" ”

"It's still too early to say this, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, the road has to be walked step by step, and the Tuoba clan will be broken first!" Wei Feng gave in a little humble, then turned sideways to pick up Xiao Qingya from Julia's arms, gently scratched his nose, and said with a smile: "You little girl, you have been fighting with your Lao Tzu since you were a child, and when you grow up, I will personally teach you martial arts, and I will be a female general in the future, how about it?" ”

"Hmmm! Qingya wants to be a female general! The one-and-a-half-year-old girl responded vaguely and nodded heavily!

The 120,000-strong army was numerous, carrying a large number of chariots, and even drove tens of thousands of sheep, so it did not march very fast, about seventy or eighty miles a day, and by the fifteenth of October, there were still fifty miles left from Pingcheng.

"General!" A personal guard came and hurriedly saluted: "General Jiang's headquarters is rushing forward, and there are 80,000 Wei horsemen chasing after him, and it will be there in about a moment!" ”

"Good! It's better to come early than to come sooner! Wei Feng shouted: "Order, the whole army is lined up to fight!" ”

All of a sudden, the horn sounded, and the 120,000 troops quickly spread out, and the chariot array was pushed to the front, forming a semi-arc array, and then the ballista carts were mixed with the crossbowmen, and there were 40,000 cavalry on each wing, which protected the grain and grass tightly!

As soon as the formation was arranged, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in front, and even the earth was trembling violently, 30,000 cavalry fled, and 80,000 cavalry pursued.

As soon as Jiang Xuan saw his own army, a burst of ecstasy immediately surged into his heart, and he hurriedly sent an order to each team to gallop to both sides, and it was still one to two miles away, and Tuoba Hei, who was personally confronted, was half cold in an instant, and he could see that this was not a deliberate ambush by the Jin people, but that he had fallen into poverty for eight lifetimes, and he just met the main force of the Jin army!

Not long before Wei Feng came, 20,000 Ding Zhuang of the Helan Department rushed to Pingcheng, and Tuoba Hei after half a month of reorganization, with 70,000 troops in his hands, immediately led 60,000 out of the city to join the Helan Department, and then killed Jiang Xuan's 30,000 horsemen.

For Jiang Xuan's 30,000 horsemen, everyone in the city gritted their teeth with hatred, they couldn't go out of the city to graze, they could only sit and watch the cattle and sheep lose weight day by day, Tuoba Hei also tried to send troops to fight with him, but there were more people sent, even if the number was comparable, the Jin army also turned around and left, the Jin army was a double horse, and the Wei people did not have an advantage in the pursuit, if there were fewer people sent, Tuoba Hei was not at ease to let them out of the city, and now no one dared to despise the combat effectiveness of the Jin cavalry.

However, there is a horse near Pingcheng, and there is no way to set up an ambush according to the terrain, Jiang Xuanbu is like a dog skin plaster, relying on Pingcheng not to leave, this time Tuoba is planning to concentrate on Helan and annihilate Jiang Xuanbu in one fell swoop!

Jiang Xuan was usually stationed in the east of the city, 30,000 cavalry deployed, the scouts of the Wei people could not pass at all, and they could not figure out the movements of the main force of the Jin army, and Jiang Xuan always grasped the whereabouts of Wei Feng, so he repeated the old trick, turned around and ran, and the main force came to annihilate the Tuoba heir!

Tuoba Si's face was extremely ugly, and Tuoba Qu also shouted: "It's really damn unlucky, the main force of the Jin army will rush so coincidentally, hey~~ If the Helan Department arrived a day earlier, why would it be so passive!" ”

As soon as these words came out, He Hu was unhappy, and said coldly: "More than a thousand miles away, I Helan Department is sleeping in the open air, and I am dedicated to the Savior, I have already tried my best, you see, the soldiers have not finished their grains, so they will go to war with Your Majesty, how are you going?" ”

Tuoba Qu just complained, he knew that his behavior was unreasonable, so he smiled with a hint of apology, and said to Tuoba Heir: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is tired from afar, we might as well rush over in one go, maybe we can break it in one fell swoop!" ”

Tuoba Si's struggling color flashed, and he shook his head firmly: "No, although the Jin army has galloped hundreds of miles to come, but our army has also galloped for fifty miles, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, not to mention that the Jin army is in a strict formation, and the troops are more than ours, and most of them will not be able to please when they rush over." ”

He Hu followed: "But at this time, you can't retreat, once you retreat, it will be chaotic, the Jin army will cover up and kill, and Pingcheng will definitely not be protected!" ”

Tuoba is already in a comprehensive disadvantage, although there are tens of thousands of Yan soldiers in the Wei Feng army, but he has taken down the thistle for several months, and the run-in is almost the same, and the Wei army plus the 90,000 troops of the Helan Department have no sufficient time to run in, and they can only barely march in half a month, and most of them will be finished when they encounter a strong enemy.

"Hey~~" Tuoba Hei sighed secretly, when Tuoba Jue was alive, no one dared to give him advice, he himself was also indulged in the happiness brought by the cold food, sitting and watching the 200,000 army being annihilated, nothing else was done, if the herdsmen and powerful servants of Pingcheng were sent to join the army earlier, and the troops from Hedong were recruited to rescue, they would not have fallen into such a difficult situation as they are now.

Tuoba Qu also sighed, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's better to find a way to return to the city, hold on until the Hedong garrison comes to help, or you can attack inside and outside and break the Jin army." ”

"Hedong?" Tuoba muttered to himself, the strength of Hedong is about 100,000, mainly distributed in Puban, Taihang Mountain near the Hebei side and Yanmen, although an edict was issued to transfer the Hedong army into Pingcheng, but the fastest will be two months later, Pingcheng is a lonely city, can it hold on for two months?

Tuoba called out a little dejectedly: "Order, the whole army is on standby!" ”

"Woo woo~~" The horn sounded in the middle of the formation, and the Wei army reined in the horse's head one after another, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Zhang Ning couldn't help but say: "General, it seems that the Wei people are indeed exhausted, this army is obviously a patchwork, and if the general's army is pressed, it will be broken in one fell swoop!" ”

Wei Feng nodded, and asked again: "Jiang Xuan, you said that among the 80,000 troops on the opposite side, there are 20,000 troops from the Helan Department, is it true?" ”

Jiang Xuan arched his hand and said: "It's true! ”

Cui Hao seemed to have guessed Wei Feng's purpose, and added: "General, the clan chief of the Helan clan is named He Hu, who defends Anyang for the Tuoba clan almost like exile, and these 20,000 horsemen are likely to be the last strength of the Helan clan." ”

Wei Feng pointed forward: "Then, when the Wei people settle down, Ben will go to meet and congratulate him!" (To be continued......)
