The steppe in the dark was more expansive than in the day, and Mayama hastily retreated east with a thousand defeated troops. Even though he was twenty miles away at the moment, he still didn't understand how all this happened, it was as unreal as a dream. But the wound on the thigh was bleeding, and it was a real pain. An hour ago, he was surrounded by an army of 70,000 and dreamed of exterminating the White Horse Yizun, and at this moment there were only a thousand remnants of cavalry left around him. The huge hanging beads one after the other made him feel tightness in his chest. His confused eyes stared at the depressed warriors around him, his breathing suddenly became short, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted from his horse.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and a dejected Xianbei army slowly marched eastward. The expressions of all the cavalrymen at this moment were the same sadness. Seventy thousand lost to one thousand, and the mistake was not ordinarily big, but extraordinarily big. The war has dealt a blow to their arrogant national confidence. Every warrior pondered the reasons for the defeat of this humiliation.

Mayama was carried between the two mounts, his eyes wide open but unfocused, motionless, as if he were a dead man. The heaving chest was telling his subordinates that he was alive. He was depressed and entangled, and fought with Tanshi Huai in all directions, and made countless military exploits to get the position of the eastern leader. Now it is a misstep that has turned into a thousand hatreds. Even if Tan Shihuai does not remove him from his position, the eastern Xianbei industry has become an empty shelf, and there are not many troops left. The delusional cause of annexing Youzhou has been ruined.

The morning breeze blew desolately, blowing the hearts of all knights cooler and more painful. As a result, the powerful Eastern Xianbei was devastated by this. However, they did not seem to anticipate that a devastating blow was looming.

Fifteen miles away, horses galloped on the grassland in the unknown morning light. The first one rode with a dignified appearance and a majestic majesty, and then a black-faced warrior was hunched on a horse. The black face turned forward and shouted, "Zhang He's riding skills are really good. When will the eldest brother come to teach me? ”

The galloping rider in front looked back and said, "Okay! Destroy the last remnants of the Eastern Xianbei, and I will teach you. Liu Bei drank loudly on the horse, thinking of Zhang He, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. His superb riding skills were all taught by Zhang He, while the other party was missing, and his life and death were unknown.

"Drive!" Zhang Fei shouted and whipped and chased forward frantically, but he couldn't catch up. Behind him, thousands of horsemen only followed, forming a cone-shaped formation under the natural gallop.

……

Hearing the faint shouting sound of the cool breeze blowing ten miles away, the deputy leader of the eastern Xianbei noticed that something was wrong. He came to the mountain and said, "Chief, the enemy is coming. ”

"Put me down!" As he spoke, he was lifted to the ground by the knight, and his eyes looked straight at a small hill three miles to the north. There is a dense jungle, how can there be such a hill on the grassland?

"What should I do?" The deputy leader said urgently. He himself was not a man who could fight in battle, let alone rise to the position step by step, but a distant relative of the chief.

"Have you counted, how many rides are left?" Mayama asked weakly.

"More than 1,200."

"The whole army moves north, let's go up the hills."

"Now that morale is low, going to the hills is equivalent to waiting for death, so let's find a way to escape." The deputy leader lost his sense of proportion in a panic, forgetting the obedience orders required by his position.

"Up the hill!" Jian Shan said sharply, and the deputy leader did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the whole army to move north to the hills. At the same time, he saw a herald walking towards Mayama.

……

"Report! The rout has lost its mark five miles away! The sentinel scouted and rushed back to Liu Bei and loudly reported the latest military information.

"How is that possible? Disappearing for no reason, this doesn't make sense! When Liu Bei sighed secretly, another rider came to report.

"A rout was found seven miles northeast, and the enemy was stationed."

Coming to the west of the hill, Liu Bei, accompanied by Zhang Fei and others, observed the surrounding terrain. The hill is oval-shaped, with a radius of several kilometers, and a thousand cavalry is enough to surround it. It's just that it can't form an effective momentum. The most important thing is that the hills are surrounded by woods, and the cavalry cannot fight. In such an environment, the Xianbei cavalry's personal bow and crossbow advantages can be perfectly played.

"Fucking Beidi is really cunning!" He Jie angrily scolded at the Xianbei Kunlun Banner that was faintly visible on the top of the hill.

"In such a situation, we have no advantage in individual combat." Shan Jing sighed helplessly. "The old Dizi of the mountain is really cunning."

"On the plains, they will not be far away. If you can't think of any coping strategy, Mayama is not worthy of being the leader of the east. Liu Bei said playfully.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" Shan Jing asked.

"There's no hurry. Now that they have gone up the hill, they are ready to defend it. The order went down, and the soldiers were stationed on the hill in three ways, each with horns. I don't believe he dares to break through! Liu Bei instructed He Jie, and the other party immediately went down to give the order.

"Boss, as long as they are trapped for three or five days, and there is no food and water supply, they will not be able to survive for long." Shan Jing said proudly, because his opinion was adopted by Liu Bei.

On the third day of the siege, Liu Bei felt that the time was ripe, so he sent people to the hills to persuade him to surrender. As a result, he was scolded back. The messenger said that the other party killed the horse and drank blood, and all of them had ruddy faces and full of energy. Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. "Not good, there are reinforcements!"

"How is that possible? Who will send reinforcements? The whole east has collapsed. Zhang Fei asked incomprehensibly.

"Although the east has collapsed, there are still tooth tents in the midwest and sandalstone locust!" Shan Jing continued: "Xianbei has more than 600,000 cavalry troops, half of which are concentrated in the hands of Tanshi Huai, and the rest are scattered in the eastern, central and western regions. If the mountain sends a rescue signal, Tanshi Huai will definitely come to the rescue after learning about it. ”

"How far is the tooth tent from here?" Liu Bei asked eagerly.

"Three thousand miles!" Shan Jing replied.

"I heard that the Xianbei army can travel thousands of miles in a day?"

"The main cavalry of Xianbei is equipped with two war horses, which take turns to mount, and the horses are endless. Nearly a thousand miles in a day. ”

"No wonder Jianshan suddenly stopped leaving, and killed horses and drank blood, it turned out that he was using himself as bait and designed to surround us." Liu Bei sighed, and suddenly stopped again. There was something else on his mind, whether he could come to a surround point to help. But the lack of manpower gave him a headache.

"Third brother, follow me up the mountain!" Liu Bei said that he rode his horse towards the hill, and Shan Jing was about to stop it, so he was in no hurry, so he had to urge Zhang Fei to follow quickly. Zhang Fei, who was anxious, had already caught up with him and asked, "Big brother, is it necessary to enter that tiger's den?" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will be a tiger!" Liu Bei replied, and his subordinates hurried up.

"What kind of 'tiger' does the eldest brother want?"

Liu Bei didn't answer and continued to approach the hill. What he wanted was the allegiance of the entire eastern Xianbei.

……

Tooth tent, Tanshi Huai had just finished listening to the cry of the rescue cavalry sent by Jianshan. Faced with the defeat of the eastern chieftain, he was furious and wanted to kill the other party's entire family. However, thinking about the strategy brought by the mountains, he immediately sent 10,000 elite cavalry to let his first general, Karaer, take command. Karaar was known for his calmness among all the generals of Xianbei, coupled with his courage in battle, and was once appreciated by Tanshi Huai, and gradually became the beam of the Xianbei cavalry.

……

"Chief, will the 'Lord' send reinforcements? According to the temper of the 'adults', this defeat will inevitably leave us to fend for ourselves, and it will destroy our entire family afterwards. He would rather avenge us when we die than send reinforcements. ”

At the top of the hill, the deputy chief shouted in a hurry.

Lying on a wolfskin jacket with miscellaneous herbs tied to his thighs, the blood had been stopped, and the pain had been alleviated a lot. But there was still no smile on his face. "Hakuma Yicong has been dragged here by us, this is an excellent opportunity to annihilate them, and the 'Lords' will not miss it. Those Han Dynasty people did not dare to confront us head-on, and always relied on petty theft to win the victory. ”

Mayama attributed all the failures to the "meanness" of the other party, and although he realized that it was his own decision-making mistake, he was unwilling to admit it in front of his subordinates.

"Report to the leader, Liu Bei asks to see you." Sentinel reports.

"Who is Liu Bei?" The deputy leader asked hurriedly.

"That man said it was the supreme commander of the Han army under the mountain."

"It's so good to come." The deputy leader jumped up excitedly. "Let's let him in, then tie him up and force the Han army to retreat!" The deputy leader was proud of his ingenuity. But he was poured a scoop of cold water on the head of Jian Shan, and he shivered when it was cold.

"Don't trust the Han so easily! They are the embodiment of foxes. ”

When Liu Zhang was led to the top of the hill by the sentry, the deputy leader reprimanded with the air of the Heavenly Empire: "Southern barbarians, are you here to surrender to my Great Xianbei?" ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and was forcibly stopped by Liu Bei. "Barbarians, surrender is okay, Ben Shuai is here just to tell you that the reinforcements of Tanshi Huai can't come."

Both Mayama and the deputy leader were shocked, how did the other party know that they had sent reinforcements? Have they seen through the scheme? What is the purpose of the other party's visit?

Liu Bei was not interested in the expressions of the two, and only said: "Ben Shuai wants to cooperate with the eastern leader to create a prosperous era together." ”

"Oh? There is also prosperity between different races? Jian Shan looked at Liu Bei with contempt. In his heart, he had already decided that Liu Bei was cheating.

"No, we are not aliens. You must know that your ancestors and our ancestors were all primitive humans living in the Yellow River Valley. We are all descendants of the Huaxia clan, and we all belong to the Huaxia clan, so how can we say that we are of different races? ”

"Jokes. What you're saying is a bit laughable. Everyone knows that you Han people rely on their wealth and wit to oppress us of the Donghu ethnic group, how can you have the same origin as us? Mayama interrupted with a roar.

"Don't you know who oppresses whom? Since the Xia Dynasty, you Donghu have been harassing our Han people. In the face of this fact......"

Before Liu Bei's words were finished, Jian Shan interrupted: "Let's talk about the meaning." Because he knew that what Liu Bei said was the truth. Donghu peeked into the wealth of the Han people and has been invading the south. It's just that for thousands of years, there hasn't been a single success.

"Good. Be quick to talk. I'm ready to make a deal with you. In order to give Fang a sense of closeness psychologically, Liu Bei changed his self-proclaimed "coach" to "me".
