Chapter 017: [Evil Ambition]
The tooth tent is located in the territory of Xianbei in central China, 500 miles away from the central base camp think tank. When he heard the good news that Kui Shitan left the tooth tent and rushed to the eastern Xianbei army, Liu Bei decided to take this opportunity to stage another sneak attack strategy, smashing the central base camp think tank in one fell swoop, and approaching the tooth tent.
The Central Leader seemed to sense something, and quietly mobilized the troops on the border to the Central Base Camp. When Liu Bei arrived near a hundred miles away from the base camp, he saw the mighty Xianbei army marching into the think tank. This made him sweat and feel frightened for today's luck.
At this time, Liu Bei led five hundred white horses from the col stationed in the north of the think tank. He rode north and sped on the military situation alone. When he returned to the camp, Zhang Fei rode his horse to meet him. Wide-eyed and asked, "How?" ”
"The central leader seems to have sensed my intentions, and no less than 30,000 cavalry have been transferred from nowhere."
Just as Liu Bei was speaking, He Jie and Shan Jing were already standing behind Zhang Fei. Both of them shook their heads helplessly when they heard the news, with a look of disappointment in their eyes. Liu Bei turned around and looked back at the think tank from afar, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "God doesn't let us take the think tank, let's change the city." ”
He Jie immediately came to his senses: "Which one to change?" ”
"The base camp of Xianbei in the west." Liu Bei said with a smile. He had a smile on his face, but he was full of worries. The western base camp is more than 3,000 miles away, and the road is very far away. As long as there is the slightest carelessness on the way, the whereabouts will be exposed, and they will not be able to retreat safely because they are too deep in the enemy's depth. At that time, what awaits them will be the encirclement and interception of dozens of times more cavalry than their own.
Shan Jing also said worriedly: "More than 3,000 miles, the secret trip is at least a month." Food alone is not enough to sustain it. He knew that if he wanted to march secretly, he would not be able to openly plunder along the road to replenish food and grass, as he had done before.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was worried, and Liu Bei fell into deep thought. All the soldiers fell silent, thinking as little as they could. In the face of this greatest difficulty, Hakuba Yi threw himself into the spirit of all knights to wrestle with the problem. Without food and grass, people cannot survive, let alone fight. The food they used these days was plundered along the road, and each rider carried less than three days' food on them. This trip to the west for a month is protracted and cannot be supported at all.
In the face of such a predicament, everyone, including Liu Bei, could not solve it. Even if she is a good woman, it is difficult to cook without rice.
"Haha...... Haha......" The eastern chieftain Mayama, who was tied to his horse, struggled to laugh, his tone full of sarcasm and contempt.
"Laugh what a laugh!" He Jie angrily dragged him off the horse, and smashed it with a punch that broke the bridge of the opponent's nose.
"Haha...... Haha......" Mayama spurted out a mouthful of spilled blood, and the old face was still laughing, not caring at all about the other party's actions.
He Jie was even more angry, and threw a punch, which was held by Liu Bei in the air.
Liu Bei turned around and untied the rope on Jian Shan's body. "Let's go!"
Everyone was shocked, and Jian Shan was even more shocked, and this sudden release made him scratch his head. Although he had some understanding of Liu Bei's unexpected style of fighting, he still couldn't react immediately in the face of this situation, as if he was in a vast fog and couldn't guess the other party's intentions.
"Give him a horse!" Liu Bei ordered to leave alone, and did not give any more orders. In the face of the boss's order, the surprised Shan Jing did not hesitate at all. Hand your horse leash to the other person.
"Liu Bei, what kind of tricks are you playing?" Drinking from the mountains. Liu Bei ignored it and rode towards the tail of the team. Zhang Fei chased after him, and asked in an unprecedented low voice, "What does the eldest brother mean by this?" ”
Liu Bei said in a low voice as he walked: "That supply problem can only be solved by Jian Shan. They are accustomed to raid warfare, for hundreds of years have been a great depth and detour of the battle, how to solve the problem of army supply, as the leader of Xianbei, he must know Xianbei's unique solution. Otherwise, Xianbei would not have survived to this day and become so powerful. ”
"He's going to say?" Zhang Fei was full of doubts.
"Although the Xianbei people are savage, they are sincere. If others treat each other with sincerity, they will surely reciprocate. ”
"But we are his enemies." Zhang Fei said again.
"It was, and it may be, but not now." Liu Bei said and stepped on the horse, and said sharply: "Brothers, get on the horse!" ”
Seeing that the other party ignored him, he rode his horse to catch up, his face full of anger as if someone else owed a large amount of money and was about to escape, and asked sharply: "This leader has never been favored by others. ”
"We don't want your repayment, let's go back!" Liu Bei looked at the west nonchalantly.
"No, I can't. What do you want, this leader promises you, and you will never go back! ”
"I don't want anything. Let's go. ”
"This chief is not accustomed to being gracious. But if you do not mention it, this prince will die before you. Mayama said decisively.
"What can you give me? What am I missing now? You can't give, and I don't lack it! If you want to die, you will die, but I have already let you go. To die or not to die is your own business. Liu Bei said as he rode west.
"Wait!" Mayama was stunned and drove his horse to catch up, although it was a detour, but he quickly stopped in front of the other horse. In fact, Liu Bei deliberately slowed down, what he wanted was to make the other party feel that he was really leaving, and to slow down inadvertently.
"Now that you have released this leader, you are not afraid that this leader will lead troops to encircle and suppress?" Mayama has some self-righteous ways.
"Let's talk about it when we see that Tan Shikui can live."
"Talk fast! Do you think the 'grown' will really kill me? Mayama laughed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that each of them serves his own master, this leader would have wanted to give you this New Year's friend." ”
"I feel that way, too. It's just that you can't let go of Xianbei's stubbornness, and I can't allow the Huaxia clan to split. ”
"Perhaps." Jian Shan said and said to himself: "The reason why my Donghu was able to survive on the grassland is because we have a strong cavalry strategic ability. There is a strategy for solving long-distance secret raids. Long-distance attacks require more energy than usual wars, so the amount of miscellaneous grains eaten in peacetime can no longer provide enough energy, and it is inconvenient to carry a large number of miscellaneous grains, so solving the food supply is one of the strategies. Our elite will be equipped with twin horses, so slaves or captives are tied to spare horses and eaten when they are hungry. Isn't it great? ”
Seeing that the faces of all the Hakuba servants were green, he laughed and whipped away.
Cannibalism! Five hundred white horses have never done it, only Liu Bei once was fed a few pieces of human flesh by his subordinates after fainting from hunger. Thinking of this, Liu Bei's stomach was rolling.
"Boss, we're going to kidnap some Beidi tonight!" Shan Jing yelled.
"No way!" Liu Bei replied.
"Why?"
"Look at our knights, can you eat human flesh?"
Shan Jing was silent.
……
At dusk, Mayama rode his horse to the central base camp think tank. The central chieftain was a hospitable hostel to this bitter enemy who had been at odds for many years. The contradiction between the two is manifested in the eastern Xianbei, in which Xianbei has the opportunity to occupy Youzhou. The strength of Xianbei in the central part is far greater than that in the east, and in order to balance the strength, Tanshi Kui gave the fat of Youzhou to the eastern Xianbei. The eastern part has been busy with the border war with Goguryeo and has no time to take care of Youzhou. In view of Tan Shikui's pressure, Central Xianbei could only drool when he looked at the fat meat of Youzhou, which bordered him, and swallowed this dissatisfied evil breath at the same time.
Now that Xianbei in the east exists in name only, the leader of the central part feels that the opportunity to annex Youzhou has come. In order to reduce the resistance of Tan Shikui, he was ready to settle his suspicions with Jianshan Bing and persuade him to agree to give up Youzhou. At the banquet, when Kuo Xie said this, Jian Shan was furious and scolded the other party for falling into the lower stone, ignoring the righteousness of the clan.
The broad evil did not think so at all, but persuaded him with strength. "Now the 30,000 troops on the border between the central and Han are being assembled one after another, and a war against Youzhou will be launched next month. At that time, the 'Lords' were still busy fighting Goguryeo. I believe that with the iron cavalry of this leader, before the end of the war by the 'Lord', Youzhou has been included in my territory. At that time, even if the 'adults' are dissatisfied, they can't help me. ”
Kuo Xie raised his bowl and saluted: "Don't be angry, brother. As long as you admit that Youzhou is the central land in front of your 'lordship', our department will definitely do everything in its power to provide all the horses and food for the army construction in the east in the future. Besides, Goguryeo borders on your ministry, and I can help you capture it. Compared to Youzhou, their territory is much larger. ”
Faced with such a great temptation, Mayama was moved. I was wandering in my heart whether to agree to this. At this time, Kuo Xie was invited into the back account by a cronie. On the pretext of a small explanation, Mayama left the table and went outside the back tent to eavesdrop.
In the tent, Koeje's cronies said: "Returning to the chief, the Goguryeo-Karasuma alliance has expressed its willingness to form an alliance. As long as you are willing to give them the Eastern Xianbei, they will guarantee to hold the Eagle and Tiger Divisions in Tan Shikui's hands. ”
"Good!" Kuo Xie shouted in satisfaction, with a smile on his face.
Another cronie said: "The 200,000 cavalry generals stationed in the tooth tent have promised that as long as you defeat the two elites of Tanshikui's Eagle and Tiger, they are willing to promote you as a 'lord'." At this time, several of Tan Shikui's sons had been controlled by them. ”
"Good, good!" Kuo Xie laughed out loud.
The last cronie said: "The leader of the west has just sent a messenger to tell me that the leader of the country may be a 'lord'." As long as the adults give them full autonomy. This is the Epistle. ”
After reading the evil, he rolled up the cloth letter and laughed triumphantly. "Inform your subordinates, quickly assemble the 90,000 troops on the border to come to the think tank, and go to the eastern front line together! In the name of helping the war, he took advantage of Tanshikui's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack. At that time, the Goguryeo-Karasuma alliance will advance in front of the front, and there will be a front and back flanking attack. Tanshi Kui will definitely be defeated! The next 'adult' will be my great evil! ”
The three new letters knelt down flatteringly: "Subordinates, see the honorable 'lord'!" Seeing this, the wide evil laughed louder and wilder, as if he had been elected by all the people to become the new 'adult' at this moment.
