Chapter 52: Don't give time to develop
Sun Ming was helpless for a while, and immediately summoned several staff members to inquire about countermeasures.
One of his advisors offered a plan and said, "My lord, the Xianbei tribe relies on cavalry and archery to harass, and we can also have an extra team of archers on the convoy. ”
Although Sun Ming felt that it was not the best policy, there was no other way at present, so he could only arrange it like this.
Sure enough, when the grain convoy transported grain again, it was discovered by Xianbei's cavalry.
Harassment troops then followed and began to shoot arrows to stop them.
Sun Ming's army was also equipped with archers and better equipped than them, and after the battle between the two sides, Sun Ming's archers suffered heavy casualties, but they finally kept their food.
After several grain shipments, this was the case, and gradually the Xianbei tribes had begun to slack off their work, and the people who died were the people of their own tribes, and every single Yu was not a fool.
The Xianbei tribes are more like a big family, and they have a strong sense of kinship with each other.
No matter how angry Kebi could reiterate, the group of Shan Yu just went through the motions, and came back after a casual stroll.
When the leadership is not unified, it is bound to happen that everyone wants to retain their strength.
Kebineng later led a small number of elites of his tribe to rob grain in person, and on average, one cavalry could replace about three Han archers.
The battle loss ratio is very objective, but the soldiers of his own tribe are getting fewer and fewer, while the Han army can send a thousand people to protect food every time.
Feeling helpless, he could only give up the idea of robbing grain, and spent it with Sun Ming again.
After another half a month, Sun Ming's side still couldn't hold out.
And the hearts of the people on Kebineng's side are gradually separating, and the tribes who were forced to join the attack before have already complained a lot.
At this time, Gongsun Zhong, a native of the local area, had been dealing with these Xianbei tribes for many years, and volunteered to go and rebel against several tribes, Shan Yu.
Gongsun Zhong once subdued a mad bull with his bare hands when he was young, and suddenly gained a high prestige among the Xianbei people who advocated personal force.
In addition, he was the son of an official eunuch, and the leaders of the various tribes were willing to associate with this powerful young man.
He asked Sun Ming for a handwritten letter and thirty catties of gold.
Late that night, with the help of the night cover and the understanding of the terrain, Gongsun Zhong quietly came to the tribe of Muzadanyu.
Muza was originally attached to Tanshi Huai Shan Yu and belonged to the development faction, advocating that the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty had not gone away and should continue to be dependent on the Han Dynasty.
Muza heard the report from his subordinates that Gongsun Zhong was coming, and now the two sides are different camps, but the friendship for many years is still there, and after thinking for a while, he still let Gongsun Zhong come in.
"Haha, Muza Shan Yu has been doing well lately, I came to see you, old friend." As soon as Gongsun Zhong saw Muza, he greeted him affectionately.
It made Muza a little embarrassed, "Hello old friend, I didn't expect us to meet as enemies now, what a shame." ”
Gongsun Zhong pretended to be confused when he heard Muza's reply: "What are you talking about?" When have we ever been enemies? It's not like Nakobi can mess with ghosts. ”
"Neither Taishou-sama nor I regard Shan Yu and the others as enemies."
Before the Han Dynasty, in addition to describing one's own parents, the word "adult" also generally referred to the honorific title of a celebrity with noble character and great achievements.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was completely used as the title of the elder in the family, and then the reverse in the Qing Dynasty.
Gongsun Zhong also indirectly reminded Sun Ming of his prestige and talent.
Muza smiled bitterly, "Our tribes have been tied up to the thief ship by Kebineng, I'm afraid that your one is too stubborn to kill us all." ”
"It's too much to worry about, what my lord wants is for everyone to live in peace, and he doesn't want to provoke a war."
"All these years have been fine, and you alone don't want years of operation ruined."
Muza handed Gongsun Zhong a bowl of milk, and recalled lonely, "Yes, how good it used to be, with cattle, sheep and horses, at that time I naively thought that the war was far away from us." ”
Gongsun Zhong immediately climbed up the pole and replied, "Now Shan Yu also has the ability to end the war, we Taishou said that as long as you take the lead in Shun, he will definitely support you to be a big Shan Yu." ”
Gongsun Zhong took out Sun Ming's handwritten letter and gold at this time.
The content of the letter is probably that Sun Ming didn't think about the war, and it was all the disaster of Na Kebineng alone.
If they continue to fight like this, their Xianbei tribe will disappear into the long river of history, but if other tribes can repent in time, they should not blame the past.
After reading the letter, Muza seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and excitedly held Gongsun Zhong's hand, "I and several Shan Yu are tired of war, and we just want to return to the court and graze with peace of mind." ”
"Lord Taishou is magnanimous, tomorrow I will unite with other Shan Yu to submit, and no longer be the same as Na Kebineng, and be that shameless villain."
"This alone will prevent the loss of life, and the merit will be immeasurable, and the shaman will bless you." Gongsun Zhong saw that the goal was achieved, and left after speaking.
The next day, Muza summoned several other Shan Yu, who were also dissatisfied with Kebineng, and took out Sun Ming's letter and distributed the gold to them.
Several people decided to defect one after another, and after a total of them, they decided to work together to destroy the tribe of Kebineng and give it to Sun Ming as a meeting gift, and by the way, they avenged the blood feud of Tanshi Huai.
Although several of their tribes were cautious enough, they were still known in advance by Na Kebineng, and he hurriedly contacted other tribes to rush to the rescue.
But at this time, Nan Xianbei had already dispersed, except for a few tribes of his cronies, many of them chose to remain silent and not help each other.
When their men and horses rushed to the tribe of Kobinen, Kebineng went into battle and yelled on his horse, "Why did you betray me and help that foreigner? ”
Muza drew his saber and pointed at Kobinen.
"Our Northern Xianbei has been subjugating the Han Dynasty for many years, with land and livestock, you don't miss the old court, but betray."
"Hmph, what crime did Tanshi Huai Shan commit, but all of them were poisoned by you, your cruelty will only make our humble men sacrifice in vain, and today is your death."
With that, with a wave of the saber, thousands of people rushed straight to the Kebineng tribe.
The two teams of men and horses fought together, and for a while, blood flowed like a river, and countless Xianbei men fell under their own swords.
Sun Ming had already received news from Muza.
He then ordered the armies of the two cities to come from the flanks in two directions.
Because the nomads were all on horseback, Nakobi could see that the situation was worsening, and before the encirclement was formed, he led the rest of his men to retreat into the depths of the steppe.
All the old and young, the money, and the food were too late to take away.
Kebineng thought that Sun Ming would not chase after him anymore, and he still had a day to get back up.
But he didn't expect Sun Ming and other tribes to chase after him day and night, and he didn't give up.
But Na Kebineng did not give up, gritted his teeth, and fled into the mountains with the rest of the men and horses.
There's no way, he can't run back anymore, and if he runs again, he will reach Nanxianbei's territory, and he will die if he goes.
This is the Hongshan Mountain Range, although they are all cavalry, and it is extremely difficult to walk the mountain road.
But at this time, Kebineng had no other way but to force himself up the mountain and think about his changes.
Sure enough, the situation was as bad as Kebi could have imagined, although he was familiar with the environment, he forced himself into the mountain.
But the mountain road is rugged, and they simply don't have the ability to get down the mountain safely, let alone fight back, which means that they can't get down now.
Horses are creatures that can be trained to be not afraid of humans, obey commands, and not run crazy on the battlefield.
It's also okay to ride up and down hills, or even jump over cliffs, but the problem is that they can't judge safety.
During the descent, it is easy to slip and die together.
Not to mention that there are enemy forces waiting below.
And Sun Ming, who chased here, saw that Kebi could be so decisive, and he was glad that he didn't leave him time to develop.
It strengthened his determination to destroy him.
