304 Horse Five Plains
Lu Bu is based on his own memories from later generations, knowing that Yuan Shu has always believed that he is the fulfillment of the proverb "the one who represents the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao", so from the time he gained a foothold in Yuzhou, he was dreaming of the emperor.
Although I don't know whether the jade seal of the country is in the hands of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu believes that even if he is a spoiler, Lu Bu's character and fate have undergone a big reversal, and the situation in the world has also changed, but Yuan Shu's people, personality and behavior, should not have changed much.
This reason was very powerful, but Xu Shu didn't know it, and asked curiously, "How could the lord assert that Yuan Shu would have other ideas?" ”
Lu Bu was speechless for a while, this question must be answered well, but it needs to be a long speech, but the basis for Lu Bu's judgment is actually only based on his memory.
There was no way, he could only make a haha and replied: "Yuan Shu has always been at odds with Yuan Shao, when Yuan Shao formed the Kwantung Coalition Army, although Yuan Shu participated in it, he has always refused to lead the army to Sour Zao, but went his own way, and joined forces with Sun Jian to attack Yique Pass, trying to steal the limelight from Yuan Shao. This time, Yuan Shu was only afraid that he would regard Cao Cao's overtures as surrender, and on the bright side, even if he owned Yuzhou, Yangzhou and Yanzhou, would this make him misjudge the situation and his vanity soared, so that he would do something unbelievable to the world? ”
Fortunately, Xu Shu did not delve into this, and followed Lu Bu for many years, he and Jia Xu would often marvel at the occasional flash of inspiration of the lord Lu Bu, as well as those feats that seemed to be pure nonsense but proved to be extremely well versed in people's hearts, so he only kept Lu Bu's assertion about Yuan Shu in his heart and left it for verification in the future, and did not delve into the reason why Lu Bu said did not seem to be a reason.
Three days later, the army marched as scheduled. Xu Huang, Huququan, will go to Manbo to complete the army, starting from Manbai, Lu Bu personally led the army, starting from Jiling, north to Shaling, Yunzhong, after dividing the troops to garrison, and then turning to the west. Rendezvous with the armies of Xu Huang and Huququan in Xianyang.
It was not until the army arrived at Chouyangsai that he saw the trace of Tuoba Xianbei Jingcai, just like that time ago, as soon as he saw the arrival of the Han army, Tuoba Xianbei Jingqi abandoned the city and left. It was as if their raison d'être was simply to monitor the movements of the Han army.
Linwo. Nine Plains. The same is true of the two cities, the army marched into the city of Jiuyuan, and as soon as the city gates were closed, the first phase of the operation ended smoothly.
On the night of the day when Lu Bu led his army into Jiuyuan City, the scouts came back to report. Tuoba Xianbei Jingcai, divided into several teams, appeared outside Jiuyuan City.
For three days in a row, the gates of Jiuyuan City were closed. It is only occasionally opened, for scouts to enter and exit, and the Tuoba Xianbei elite cavalry outside the city, pressing step by step, has compressed the range of activities of the Han army scouts to a range of twenty miles around Jiuyuan City.
As soon as the sky dawned the next day, the four gates of Jiuyuan City burst open, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the morning, and the fine horses poured out of the city, and after gathering in the east of the city, they rumbled to the northeast.
There, it is where the entrance of Manyi Valley is located, which is the valley road that crosses the Yin Mountain from Wuyuan and goes north to the prairie.
Of course, the Yin Mountain is long, and there are many valley roads during it, and there are not a few valley roads that can be crossed, but the valley roads that can be crossed by the brigade are high in addition to the Manyi Valley.
This elite cavalry is led by Lu Bu himself, and the generals under the account, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Pang De, Hu Ququan, Li Su, and Cao Xing, all brought it, a total of 8,000 elite cavalry, but it is the most elite team in Lu Bu's hands.
Lu Bu's trip was not to rush to find Tuoba Xianbei Jingqi to fight a decisive battle, but to put on a posture of surveying the terrain of the valley mouth of the Manyi Valley, and there would be a series of actions in the future, and the purpose was only one, that is, to lure Tuoba to the neighborhood.
galloping all the way, the horse's hooves roared, and even the earth seemed to be trembling slightly, Tuoba Xianbei's elite cavalry was a team of 3,000 people, facing the Han army's elite cavalry that was much larger than them, even if there were two elite cavalry on the left and right watching from afar, they still didn't have the courage to come forward to fight.
At dusk, Lu Bu led the elite cavalry back to Jiuyuan City and went to Manyi Valley, coming and going, just one day.
The next day, before dawn, the four gates of Jiuyuan City were opened again, first the fine horses came out in four places, gathered in the east of the city, and then guarded hundreds of carts, 5,000 foot soldiers, and drove towards Manyi Valley.
Such a huge posture was immediately reported to Tuoba Lin by Tuoba Xianbei scout Pegasus, and Tuoba Lin's first reaction was that the Han army wanted to set up a large camp at the entrance and exit of Manyi Valley and seal Manyi Valley to death.
But knowing that in the face of the hundreds of carts of the Han army, Tuoba Xianbei's scouts couldn't tell which were baggage carts and which were crossbows, plus the elite cavalry of the Han army guarding was as high as 8,000, unless Tuoba could gather the elite cavalry of the entire tribe, otherwise, it was impossible to talk about a war at all.
The next bad news, as expected by Tuoba Lin, after the Han army arrived at the crossing of the Manyi Valley Valley, they camped on the spot, with more than 100 carts, divided into three rows before and after, and blocked the narrow valley road of the Manyi Valley tightly, and on the side facing the five plains, they began to build a fortress like Chouyang Fortress on the spot.
At this time, Tuoba Lin remembered a common saying of the Han people out of time, close the door and beat the dog, although to say so, it was very inappropriate for him and the Tuoba Xianbei tribe, but when he learned that the Han army was building a large number of buildings at the entrance of the Manyi Valley, he remembered this sentence.
The crux of the problem is that even if Tuoba Lin wants to break his head, he still can't think of a good way to deal with it, the fortress built by the Han army at the entrance and exit of Manyi Valley, just looking at the Han army's fanfare, you can know the degree of solidity, and I am afraid that it will not be much different from the Chouyang Fortress.
What's more, the Han army made it clear that he would block the Manyi Valley Road with a crossbow, could he send tribal warriors to fill it with their lives in order to reopen the Manyi Valley Road?
Tuoba Lin took a deep breath, at a loss, and finally had no choice but to comfort himself by saying that once the Han army's elite cavalry was defeated, there was no need to attack at all, and the Han defenders themselves would collapse.
During the whole month, the construction at the entrance and exit of Manyi Valley did not stop, during which Lu Bu always personally led 8,000 elite horsemen to and from Manyi Valley and Jiuyuan City, and during this period, he personally traveled back and forth between Manbo and Jiuyuan, escorting the grain and grass transported from Meiji to enrich the defense of Jiuyuan City.
All these movements of the Han army fell far away in the investigation of Tuoba Xianbei's scouts, and then converged in front of Tuoba Lin's case.
Late at night, in the big tent of the Chinese army in Tuoba Lin, the butter lamp candle is as thick as a child's arm, and the tent is as bright as day.
This is the first time in recent times that a discussion of such a scale can be felt by everyone just by looking at the solemnity on Tuoba Lin's face.
Cough!
Tuoba Lin coughed lightly, and the buzzing noise in the tent immediately stopped, and everyone took their places and looked at Tuoba Lin in the first place.
"The Han army set up a fortress in the Manyi Valley to block the valley road through the Yin Mountain," Tuoba said in a low voice, looking around slowly, "It is equivalent to cutting off the connection between our clan and the prairie, where should our clan go, and what are your good plans?" ”
"Kill!"
As soon as Tuobalin's words fell, someone stood up on the ground, his face full of anger, and when he spoke, his right hand waved down violently, as if he was raising a knife in his hand, and in front of him, it was not empty, but Lu Bu, the commander of the Han army, who was extremely annoying to him.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he was even more emotional, and shouted loudly: "What the Han army relies on is nothing more than the benefit of the crossbow, when transporting grain, grass and heavy materials between Manyi Valley and Jiuyuan City, it is Lu Bu himself who leads the elite cavalry to escort, and the elite cavalry of our clan is scattered, so that it is impossible to fight with one, why not raise the clan to gather and intercept the Han army's elite cavalry halfway?" ”
His words were sonorous and powerful, and when he saw everyone, including Tuoba Lin, they all listened attentively, and he was even more energetic, and his voice was invisibly elevated, almost roaring: "Just kill and defeat the elite cavalry of the Han army led by Lu Bu, even if the Han army stubbornly defends Jiuyuan City, what if it is stubbornly defended in Manyi Valley, under the attack and killing of our clan's elite cavalry, within a few months, it will run out of food and disperse!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was already a roar and shouting in the tent, perhaps since last year, these Xianbei warriors have been holding back too hard, and now there is such a good opportunity to fight with the Han army's elite cavalry, which suddenly stimulates the fierceness and belligerence in their bones, so that they are all like bulls in estrus, and they can no longer control their shouting.
Only Tuoba Lin was still silent there, he was worried that the Han army was so fearless, and the eight thousand elite horsemen repeatedly went back and forth between Manyi Valley and Jiuyuan City, was there any conspiracy in it.
However, with such a high-spirited fighting spirit in the tent, he is not easy to forcibly suppress, in fact, for such a long time, he does not know how depressed the tribal warriors are, and even he himself is very worried, if it continues for such a long time, will one day, there will be a situation where even he can't restrain it.
Bang!
Tuoba Lin punched hard, smashed on the desk in front of him, stood up on the ground, his eyes swept majestically, the marshals who were originally full of fighting spirit, at this moment were pressed by Tuoba Lin's momentum, all of them were silent, looking up, it was the one who had just stood up and was impassioned, and his face was full of expectation, but in the expectation, there was still a little worry.
He was worried that Tuoba's move was not due to the same fighting spirit, but to anger in his heart.
"Good!"
As soon as Tuoba Lin spoke, everyone present was ecstatic, if it were not for the coercion of Tuoba Lin, he was afraid that everyone would get up and cheer when he returned to the spot.
"Since the Han army is so rampant, I will gather the elite cavalry and let them see the power of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry!"
As soon as the words fell, the tent was already thunderous with joy, which lasted for a long time.
When the cheers gradually stopped, Tuoba Lin still did not mean to sit down, but looked around and said, "However, for the sake of safety, send a fine cavalry first, and test it a little, so that nothing goes wrong!" (To be continued......)
