After the meeting, Sun Ming also promoted a lot of newcomers.

Leaving behind Gongsun Zhong, the county lieutenant of the Shan clan city, he was incorporated into the army and made him a lieutenant.

【Gongsun Bell】

[Force: 88 (one in a hundred)]

[Intelligence: 53 (Normal)]

[Command: 71 (one in a hundred)]

[Politics: 49 (Normal)]

[Opinion: 54 (friends)]

This Gongsun Zhong helped a lot when Guan Yu went to recruit people before, and Guan Yu also had a good impression of him.

After coming back, he recommended this person to Sun Ming, a native of Gongsun Zhongdai County, the word Zijin, the body shape is strange, and he is good at riding horses and commanding troops.

Although Sun Ming was hated by the state-level scholar clan in the world, this local county-level scholar clan was more willing to follow Sun Ming.

Without him, only the benefit of the ear. For example, Gongsun Zhong, Qiu Muli, Xu Mu, Xu Mo, etc. are all loyal to Sun Ming.

Because the next thing to fight Xianbei is, Ban's, Beipingyi, and Gaoliu, these three cities are the first to bear the brunt, and Sun Ming has replaced his own people.

After all, such a thing as military exploits must be given to people and families who are willing to rely on them first, and Sun Ming is no exception to begin to cultivate his own forces on a large scale.

At the same time, the generals and soldiers gathered everywhere announced that they had been prepared.

When Sun Ming left Daijun for Luoyang, there were more than 15,000 people in the whole army, and after two months of preparation and expansion.

The number of people also came to the early 20,000s, not counting the local garrison of the eleven county seats.

Sun Ming gave an order, and the 20,000 people were divided into two divisions, and at the same time advanced into the two cities of Pingcheng and Baideng in Xianbei.

He led his troops to garrison Baideng, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to garrison Pingcheng, and Yu Li stayed in Gaoliu.

Under the influence of Han rule, the Northern Xianbei also built several cities for trade and production, and the back was all grassland.

Although these cities were built by the Xianbei people, they often belonged to the territory of the Han Dynasty for a long time.

It was only the inaction of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty that caused the Han Dynasty to gradually lose control of these cities in the past ten years.

Sun Ming's big strategy to deal with Northern Xianbei was to only occupy the city and fight siege battles with them, so that the enemy's advantage of being good at riding horses and high mobility could not be brought into play.

It is now September of the second year of Zhongping, and the weather has already entered the autumn color, and countless Xianbei herdsmen have entered the city to exchange their livestock for things made by other Han people, preparing for the next cold winter.

Sun Ming ordered all merchants not to trade anything with the Xianbei people, and violators were punished for the crime of being an enemy.

Many nomads are not starving to death, but this winter is definitely sad.

Sun Ming's army moved quickly, and while the tribes of Northern Xianbei were still discussing countermeasures in the grassland, they had already entered the two cities without much effort.

And the people in the city include Xianbei people and Han Dynasty people, everyone is just afraid of war, but they are not exclusive to Sun Ming's army.

Life still has to go on, and they are more afraid of encountering the more radical Xianbei people on the road than Sun Ming's army.

Na Kebineng was a representative of the radical faction, although he single-handedly promoted the Northern Xianbei tribal alliance.

Faintly led by him, but not all tribes were convinced of him.

In a certain greenhouse in the grassland, more than a dozen Shan Yu have already held a meeting inside, and this is the fourth meeting this week.

When Sun Ming marched into the two cities this time, they were already in a meeting.

The city is gone, and their meeting hasn't finished yet, which also makes Kebi deeply feel the bloat and helplessness of their decision-making level.

"Kebi can be single, I think that Sun Ming is just pretending, and he will withdraw from the army in a few days, let's just wait and see what happens."

The one who spoke was Tanshi Huai Shan Yu, who was a strong opponent of Ke Bineng and the former leader of the Northern Xianbei tribe.

Kebineng said angrily, "That Sun Ming has already occupied the two cities of Pingcheng and Baideng, and he is no longer leaving." ”

"I asked you to send troops to resist a few days ago, but you actually opposed it one by one, and watched the two cities be occupied."

Tanshi Huai replied with a disdainful expression, "If he wants to occupy it, let him occupy it, we have been nomadic for generations, and those two earthen cities don't want it." ”

Kebi Neng was angry and slapped the table angrily, "We lack the ability to produce and forge, and the south Xiongnu to the west of our tribe are enemies with us, and their strength is stronger than ours." ”

"To the north is the vast snow-capped mountains, and Ben Shan Yu also wants to lay more land and resources for the people."

"But you are in the way everywhere, and you are choked by the Han army, we have a tomorrow!"

Tanshi Huai also stood up, glared at Kebineng and said, "Kebi Neng is serious, we have no intention of rebellion, we just want to graze with peace of mind." Okay, the tribe still has something to do, I'll go first. ”

Hey, Kobi drew his saber and roared, "Stop! Now that the enemy is in front of you, you still want to escape? ”

Tanshi Huai also drew his sword, "Hmph, that's all the trouble you provoked, the Han Dynasty army is coming for you, and now I want to use the lives of my people to satisfy your ambitions, and the shaman god will curse you." ”

"I'll make it clear to you, I won't let one of my people freeze to death in this cold winter, I will take my tribe to surrender tomorrow."

Na Kebi can grit his teeth, and he is about to cut it down with a knife when he steps forward, but he is stopped by others.

The quarrel between the two finally ended under the persuasion of other Shan Yu, but the matter of counterattacking Sun Ming was still over.

Sandalwood left with several other allies and returned to their respective tribes.

Kebineng is also a ruthless person, and he led more than 2,000 people to attack the tribe of Tanshi Huai that night, and Tanshi Huai did not expect Kebineng to be so mad.

That night, the men of the Tanshi Huai tribe were washed in blood, and the head of the Tanshi Huai was hung on the neck of Kebineng's horse.

Its message is also conveyed to all tribes.

Three days later, the other weak tribes were forced to surrender to Kebineng.

At this time, the Xianbei nomads achieved a short-lived and unstable unity, and Kebineng himself was promoted to the rank of 'Da Dan Yu'.

Kebineng then quickly gathered more than a dozen tribes, with a total of more than 30,000 people, to fight Sun Ming.

The Xianbei boys are nomadic on weekdays, and once there is a war, all the members are soldiers.

But at this time, Sun Ming had already arranged trenches, strengthened city walls and other fortifications in the two cities, and was waiting for Kebi to come and send them.

Sure enough, the Xianbei tribe was not good at attacking the city at all, and their highly mobile cavalry could not be sent at all.

Kebineng ordered his troops to attack Baideng City for two days, but he couldn't fight it at all except leaving a corpse.

Seeing the continuous losses on the front line and the morale getting lower and lower, Kebineng finally ordered a break and confronted Sun Ming.

Sun Ming is not in a hurry at all, it is already the beginning of October, and the weather has begun to get colder.

Sun Ming set up a fire on the city gate, ate barbecue, looked in the direction of the enemy camp with his eyes, and thought about the variables of this battle.

He already knows the tragedy of Tanshi Huai, and Beixianbei is not monolithic, as long as he can add more fire.

In one or two months, Xianbei will definitely find internal strife and changes.

Sun Ming knew, and Na Ke Neng naturally knew that he was also difficult to ride a tiger now, and his authority was obtained by invading and fighting.

If he doesn't fight, or even bow down to the Han court, then he will be the first to die.

Either died at the hands of Sun Ming, or died at the hands of his own people.

Just when he was distressed to no avail.

His subordinates made a proposal: "Da Danyu, we are good at wandering, but we can't attack fortifications, then we will go around to the rear of the two cities and cut off their food and grass." ”

"If they dare to send troops out, we can be chased by invincible cavalry, if they don't, they will naturally retreat when there is no food."

Kebi was overjoyed after listening to the advice of his subordinates, and then ordered the tribes to disperse and wander around, cutting off Sun Ming's backup grain and grass.

I have to say that this trick is indeed a good way to use high mobility to cut off food.

The grain and grass in the two cities of Sun Ming were cut off for several days, and they could not be transported from Daijun.
