Chapter 808: Xianbei Alliance
In Guzhu City, Murong Ba summoned all the leaders of the Xianbei tribes in Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, and Yuyang County to form a Xianbei coalition army to deal with King Xia's conquest of Liaoxi County.
The strategy of the Xia army was to encroach on tactics, step by step to take away the counties occupied by the Guanzhong Army and the Liaodong Army, fully digest them, and replace the influence of Lao Qin and Mingguan.
The Xianbei tribe bore the brunt.
If you lose the battle of Liaoxi, Xianbei may be removed, and the leaders of various Xianbei tribes may become slaves.
The leaders of the eastern Xianbei tribe arrived with dozens of people, among which Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and Duan's Xianbei were the most prominent.
"Get out of here!"
A cavalry of the Xianbei tribe of the Duan clan galloped on horseback, came to Guzhu City, and broke into the camp of the Murong Xianbei tribe, without giving the Murong Xianbei tribe any face.
"King Ming really looked down on the Murong family, and even let Murong Ba serve as the city lord of Guzhu City, leading the Xianbei tribe to resist King Xia's cavalry. Could it be that our Duan clan is not as good as Murong Xianbei? ”
Duan Piyan, the leader of the Duan Xianbei clan, found that Guzhu City was guarded by the cavalry of the Murong Xianbei tribe, and knew that Mingguan attached more importance to the Murong Xianbei tribe, and he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
"Brother, in this battle of Liaoxi, I will definitely avenge one arrow."
The injured Duan Xianbei fiercely annoyed Duan Wenyang.
In the last battle of Youzhou, Duan Wenyang and Li Guang competed in archery before the two armies, and were taught a hard lesson by Li Guang and almost died.
"Li Guang, the flying general in the Xia army, has amazing archery skills, not to be underestimated, you must not fight with him again."
Duan Piyan was a little skeptical about Duan Wenyang's ability, after all, last time, he was almost shot by Li Guang.
"No, this time, I'm not going to face him head-on with archery, but I'm going to attack with cavalry and shoot him with cold arrows."
Duan Wenyang was annoyed and ashamed, he didn't care what means he used, as long as he could kill Li Guang, he could relieve the hatred in his heart.
"I'm afraid it's hard to find an opportunity, King Xia personally conquered Liaoxi County, I don't know what the consequences will be if we are desperately defending."
Duan Piyan is worried about the near future.
That is Duan Wenyang, the first fierce general of the Duan clan, however, his strength seems to be still far behind Li Guang. I'm afraid that even my strength is not as good as Li Guang's. ”
Murong Ba, his brother, and son, as well as the military generals of the Murong Xianbei tribe, were on the city wall, watching the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe coming.
Almost all the Xianbei tribes in western Liaoxi responded to Murong Ba's call, after all, this time was related to the life and death of the Xianbei tribe.
Most of the Xianbei tribes in central China have been conquered by Chutian.
Eastern Xianbei is stronger than central Xianbei, unwilling to surrender and give up real power.
"There is also the Yuwen tribe, Yuwen Yidougui has really arrived, and as the leader, he should know the truth of the cold lips and teeth."
Murong Ba watched Murong Xianbei's cavalry assemble on the city wall, and Duan Piyan and Yuwen Yidou also noticed Murong Ba on the city wall.
The leaders of the three Xianbei tribes met again.
"The scouts that our Murong Xianbei arranged in Jixian County have already found out the movements of the Xia army, and it is very likely that the Xia King will attack Liaoxi County. Liaoxi County is the stronghold of Xianbei in our eastern part of the country, and it cannot be lost. Therefore, the three of us must fight to the death and not fight among ourselves. The leader of the coalition is I, Murong Ba, what do you think? ”
"Duan's Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei are on an equal footing with Murong Xianbei, why are you the Eastern Xianbei Lord?"
Duan Piyan and Yuwen Yi Dou returned, and the two leaders were really dissatisfied.
"No matter who is the leader of the coalition army, the purpose is just to defeat the Xia King, naturally whoever has more troops is qualified to be the leader. If the Battle of Liaoxi breaks out, and Duan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei dare to be the vanguard, then the position of the leader of the Xianbei coalition army will be held by any of you, what do you think? ”
Murong Ba's brother spoke, and Duan Piyan and Yuwen Yidougui were speechless.
Whoever wants to be the leader of the Eastern Xianbei Lord, the leader of the Xianbei Alliance, will have to pay a big enough price, Murong Xianbei dares to take the initiative to be the vanguard, but Duan's Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei don't dare, this is the gap between the three.
A military general in the Yuwen Xianbei tribe was slightly moved.
After the cavalry of the Xia King entered Liaoxi, which tribe dared to send cavalry as the vanguard?
Only the Murong tribe dares, so Murong Ba is confident that he is qualified to serve as the leader of the Xianbei Alliance.
"Murong Ke, you really have a good plan, you want to take advantage of this opportunity to annex all the Xianbei tribes, but do your Murong tribes have the confidence to be the vanguard and repel King Xia's cavalry army? If not, not only will your Murong Xianbei tribe be dragged into the abyss, but there will also be other Xianbei tribes in western Liaoxi who are unlucky. ”
Yuwen Yidou looked at the person who was on the same level as Murong Ba on the main throne, Murong Ba's brother Murong Ke.
In the fourth national war with the rise of the barbarians, Murong Ke had already appeared in the Xianbei tribe in western Liaoning, and it happened to be in the Murong Xianbei tribe.
It's just that the Xianbei tribe is extremely low-key in the national war, and has no sense of existence, but is ignored.
The talents of the Murong Xianbei tribe made Mingguan feel jealous.
The man who was called Murong Ke by Yuwen Yidou shook his head: "King Xia's cavalry is certainly powerful, but you might as well give it a try, there is still a chance if you try, but if you don't try, there is no chance." The cowardly does not deserve the name of humility. It's too late to withdraw from the coalition. ”
Murong Ke used the agitation method slightly.
"Our Duan Xianbei tribe will not retreat."
"The same is true of the Yuwen Xianbei tribe!"
Duan Piyan and Yuwen Yidougui took the initiative to stand up and respond, although they were very dissatisfied with Murong Ba as the leader of the Xianbei coalition army, but what Murong Ke said was right, at present, only Murong Xianbei cavalry could repel the attack of the Youzhou army.
"The fate of Xianbei is in the hands of the Murong family, and we must not be disappointed."
"All you have to do is follow my orders and fight hard."
Duan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei, out of consideration for their own interests, are unwilling to give up their current rights and status.
The two leaders were silent, which can be regarded as acquiescing to the proposal to form the Xianbei Coalition Army, and to make Murong Ba the leader of the Xianbei Coalition Army.
Murong Ba appointed Murong Ke as the military advisor of the Xianbei coalition army to jointly resist the Xia King's attack on Liaoxi County.
Murong Ke immediately exercised the power of a military advisor, and all the tribes gathered all the herdsmen to practice day and night.
"There is a problem, and there is a problem."
Chu Tian came to Jixian County in Youzhou and looked through the information about the Xianbei tribe opposite.
He discovered that there was an important figure in the Murong Xianbei tribe, that is, Murong Ba's brother Murong Ke.
Murong Ke is a legendary figure, during the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Ke defeated the martial king Ran Min with a series of iron horse phalanxes.
It was also in this battle that King Wu Mourning lost to Murong Ke and was defeated and died, which made Murong Ke successful.
Murong Ke not only defeated and captured Ran Min, but also was an all-rounder with high command, intelligence, and politics.
No wonder Cao Cao was so difficult, it turned out that he was facing Murong Ke and Murong Ba brothers.
There are also many famous brothers in history, such as Liu Yan and Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin.
Murong Ba is brave, Murong Ke is good at unifying the army and strategizing, the two of them join forces, plus a group of Xianbei generals who are not weak as tribesmen, the strength of the Xianbei coalition army should not be underestimated. This expedition to western Liaoning may not be as easy as imagined.
