The Xiongnu and Xianbei, although they are both nomadic peoples, are actually easy to distinguish in appearance. There are many Xiongnu miscellaneous departments, there is no unified clothing, and the hairstyles are also strange, most of them are draped hair. Xianbei is different, everyone has a head, and there are many heads - that is to say, adult men will shave off some areas of hair, and the rest of the hair may be braided, just a bit like the Qing Dynasty people in later generations, but there are no specific rules for where to shave and tie a few braids. In addition, Lord Xianbei likes to wear ochre, as long as you look at the leaders wearing most of the red and yellow clothes, then nine out of nine are Xianbei.

At this time, the Xianbei power was strong, occupying the grassland desert, adjacent to Fuyu and Haoqian in the east, and Wusun in the west, all of which were their pastures. During the reign of Emperor Huan, Tanshihuai united the various ministries to form a powerful alliance, which caused strong pressure on the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, at this time, Tanshi Huai had already hung up, and his descendants could not serve the public, and the various departments were scattered again, lacking a unified command, which was a little lighter. According to their nomadic areas and ethnic genera, the Xianbei people can be roughly divided into three parts, the eastern part is north of Liaodong, the central part is from Youbeiping to Shanggu, and the old state and Liangzhou are the west. Among them, only in the jurisdiction of Xun's Shuozhou, there are no less than ten yi, nearly 200,000 people, each with an adult, seeing Tian'er and the Huns robbing pastures, and from time to time waving their troops south, plundering the Han land.

Not long ago, the Xianbei people went to kill Ben Meiji again. In fact, the Xiongnu elder that Zhang He was searching for on the east side of the Yellow River was really not scared away by him, but was in a hurry to rush back to face the enemy Xianbei people. Then I heard that the Han people were going to take the opportunity to attack? The elders were frightened on the spot and hurriedly gathered together for a meeting to discuss. The result of the discussion was that the enemy was on both sides. Then Meiji must not be guaranteed. You must first retreat all the way to the enemy. In order to unite the main force and win the other way.

It was Xun who built a front-line base north of Yuanyin County to force the Xiongnu to attack, but the Xiongnu were not stupid and felt that there might be fraud in it. But there is fraud and fraud, and he can't help but go, otherwise when his base is built, 5,000 Han troops and 20,000 surrendered clansmen will be killed together. Then Meiji must be in jeopardy. The five elders racked their brains, and finally came up with a clever plan, sent someone to negotiate peace with Xianbei, and were willing to take out 10,000 cattle and sheep each, and asked Xianbei to retreat for the time being. At the same time, they also told the Xianbei people that the Han people were building the Great Wall near Yuanyin, and once it was repaired, none of us would want to go south to grab things in the future. And...... One is that the city has not been repaired yet, and the other is that the city has not been repaired. I heard that there is a lot of food and supplies stored in it, and I can't afford to pick it up. I have to cheapen you.

The Xianbei people were more barbaric than the Huns, they were not yet civilized, and even the organizational structure was very loose, and they had just entered the slave society from the primitive commune, and they were far away from the Han land, so they had very limited understanding of the Han people's flowery intestines. As soon as they heard the words of the Xiongnu envoy, they were greedy and immediately believed it, and immediately drove the army south to attack Shixun's base.

There have long been horses reported to the bunker. However, although there is a flag of recognition of Xun on the fort, in fact, Xun is not among them, he took his own subordinates and hid far away in the county town of Yuanyin. The actual person in charge of the fort is Zhuge Kongming, the "shadow warrior" of Xun, who wears makeup (sticks a few more fake beards) every day, wears Shixun's clothes, and patrols back and forth on the city wall. The Huns on the construction site under the city saw it from afar, and thought that the assassin had been staying with us all along.

Zhuge Liang wanted to lure the Huns to the territory of Yuanyin, near the base, and then on the one hand, Zhang He hurriedly crossed the Yellow River to attack him, and on the other hand, the army was encircled, and there was a chance to annihilate them. The key to this plan is to use this newly built blockhouse to contain the attack of the Huns as much as possible, so the danger factor of the defenders is quite large. Shixun didn't dare to come, but if he didn't come, the bait would not be sweet enough, and he was afraid that the Huns would not come; Zhuge Liang was young and vigorous, and he wanted to be famous in the world, so he insisted on pretending to be Shixun and stationed in the fort.

But what he didn't expect was that the Huns didn't come, but the Xianbei people came.

At that moment, Zhuge Liang, Guo Huai, and Qin Yi hurriedly climbed the stairs to look, only to see that the smoke and dust in the north were rising, and they were full of Hu Qi. Qin Yi is older and experienced, and he roughly estimated it by looking at the dust: "No less than 20,000 riders." ”

Zhuge Liang and Guo Huai glanced at each other, Guo Huai frowned and said: "If you want to cause the Huns, you will come to Xianbei, and now you are fighting or retreating?" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "If you retreat, the fort will be taken by the enemy cavalry, and the work of January will be destroyed." It is better to destroy Xianbei here to deter the Huns, and then talk about the future. ”

Guo Huai said Okay, I just went out to restrain those Huns, and had a face-to-face battle with the Xianbei people, although I have few soldiers, there are two forts that are almost completed to rely on, then we will be able to defeat the enemy. Zhuge Liang hurriedly grabbed him and said Don't mind, let's handle it according to the original plan, as if what came in front of us was not the Xianbei people, but the Huns of Meiji.

Guo Huai glared: "The lord wants to take the beauty, so Kong Ming Dynasty guarded it, and baited the enemy with his body, now it is not the Huns, and it is not the lord's intention to defeat, so why should Qing take risks?" Qing is the disciple of the lord, if there is a mistake, what face will Huai face to see the lord? ”

Zhuge Liang took a long breath and replied: "Today's Boji generals can be Yu Xianbei, but they are only repelled. Xianbei is gone, the Huns or do not come back, then the bright day is planned, and the water is exhausted. And if Xianbei can be destroyed here, that is, it cannot swallow the Huns, and the lord can also take advantage of the situation to collect Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang in the north, then Shuozhou can be determined. Liang is dead, why hate?! ”

Yunzhong County is north of Xihe, Wuyuan County is north of Shang County, and Shuofang County is on its west side. There are nearly 200,000 people in Xianbei in the west, and it is estimated that there will be no less than 50,000 victorious soldiers.

Guo Huaixin said Kong Ming, Kong Ming, don't you keep talking about "why hate even if you die", okay? Even if I'm younger than you, I'm not as aggressive as you. However, he knew that Zhuge Liang was both high-spirited and reluctant, and when he offered his plan to replace Xun, he couldn't even persuade Xun, let alone himself now? The military situation is like fire, the enemy is like the wind, and it can't be delayed at all, so I have to persuade two more words, and it is estimated that the Xianbei people have already rushed to the front of the fort. There was no way, so I had to take a deep look: "Kong Ming is careful, and he has a useful body to support the lord's business." As soon as he spoke, he turned his head, and went down to the city.

Qin Yi's face next to him turned a little pale, and he hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that Boji will be difficult to restrain Hu Qiye in a hurry, and wait for someone to help him." "I ran away after that.

The two went down to the city to gather the Huns who were still ramming the earth and repairing the city, but of course it was too late for them to immediately put on their equipment and bow and mount their horses, so they had to order them to retreat, retreat to a mile behind the fort, and then equip and reorganize themselves to wait for a counterattack. The Huns are not very well trained, they are chaotic, and the speed of escape is very fast, Guo Huai frowned when he looked at it, and said in his heart Wait for the back, the time of a meal, can I reorganize them? If this drags on a little longer, will Kong Ming be able to hold the fort?

However, at this time, it was too late to worry about this, so he had to step on the war horse and gallop behind Qin Yilu and the others.

Besides, Zhuge Liang, after Guo Huai and Qin Yi left, they glanced at the smoke and dust that were getting closer and closer, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Wave the flag." "At this time, there were still two hundred elites left in the fort, more than half of them were Xun's troops, and there were also warriors selected from Zhang He's army. The plan had already been announced—though the vast majority of the soldiers knew about it, but didn't know why—when even someone took out a red flag and shook it towards the grain storage fort.

Zhuge Liang turned his head to stare at the grain fort, and after a while, he saw that there was also a red flag waving on it, indicating that the other party had received an order, so he breathed a small sigh of relief. When they turned around again, the Xianbei cavalry was so close that they could almost see the expressions on the faces of the people at the front.

Zhuge Liang clasped his hands together and prayed in the sky: "My father is above, my uncle is above, bless the child to save his life this time, and make miraculous achievements, and go down in history to show my Ge's name." Then he took a few steps back, and was far away from the battlement, but his eyes were fixed on the surging enemy horsemen.

The Xianbei people scattered in a scattered procession, galloping closer, and only gradually slowed down the speed of their horses until they were about two arrows away. At this time, they also saw clearly, there were only two forts on the opposite side, and there were no defenders in the field, and sure enough, as the Huns told them, one fort was small and tall, garrisoning Han soldiers, and the other fort was wide and short, which was the place where grain and grass materials were stored. So, where to hit first? Is it a direct attack or a siege first? Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at their own adults.

This time, Xianbei came with a total of five soldiers, four of whom were guarded by each other, and they were also half an arrow away from each other, and they were guarded by their own cronies. It stands to reason that the four of them should get together to discuss and discuss, but their eyes are staggered, and three of them directly lead people to the grain fort - we are here to grab food and materials, not to teach the Han people a lesson. Besides, the garrison fort is so small, there are a few hundred people who can surround it, so leave this task to someone else, and I'll fight the big one!

And seeing that the fort is high, the flag on the fort is fluttering, the fort door is closed, and although the grain fort is blocked by deer, there are only a few flags on the fort, and the fort gate has not been repaired, this rush will go in, do you not rush at this time, do you have to wait for the Han people inside to find something to block the door before rushing?

Seeing this scene, the fourth adult couldn't help but spit on the ground with hatred, and commanded his subordinates - we can't lag behind, let's go and grab food together!

Zhuge Liang saw on the fort that all the Xianbei people had gone to the grain fort, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that his legs were a little weak. But he usually pays the most attention to manners, even in front of a group of big-headed soldiers at this time, he can't fall on the shelf, and he barely squeezes out a smile at the moment, and ordered: "Take the Hu bed, and watch me sit and break it."
