Chapters 82-83

"Your Majesty." Liao Li saluted me.

"Lord Liao, what do you think about the sudden loss of news from the front line?" I asked, frowning.

Liao Li said calmly: "This is normal, the network in the northern Xinjiang where Zhiwen is located is not perfect, and it is common for it to be destroyed during war." This shows that the enemy army has made a big move. ”

"So, what do you think this big move will be? Will there be any damage to Li Yan's two parts? ”

Liao Li thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, Li Yan and Wei Yan are both famous generals of a generation, and their generals are no less than Cao Wei, and there are Kebi in the north who can help with an army of 100,000, even if Cao Wei doubles the number of men and horses, he can't eat them." ”

I don't know why, but I always have some uneasiness in my heart. Indeed, at the moment, the three forces of Kebineng, Li Yan, and Wei Yan formed a complete or even perfect encirclement, how could Cao Wei have any impact on them? Li Yan and Wei Yan, these two together, even if they face Sima Yi directly, they won't be defeated too badly, not to mention just Cao Yu.

"So, Lord Liao, what do you think of the Xianbei people, assuming that you are Cao Wei, in this case, can you break this encirclement by attacking the Xianbei people? What happens if it breaks? ”

Liao Li thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." Cao Wei wants to attack the Xianbei people, it is too difficult, the Xianbei people have more than 100,000 horses, and the military strength is not under Ji Han, if I lead the army, even if I attack Ji Han first, I will not attack the Xianbei people. ”

I nodded. Liao Li seemed to think of something again: "Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless, Cao Wei can buy the Xianbei generals, and then raid the Kebineng Chinese army with elite soldiers, and kill Kebineng with brave generals. Otherwise, even if he could annihilate the large tribe of Xianbei with 10,000 people, he would not be able to stop Kebi from advancing. But. If you want to buy the Xianbei general and attack and kill Kebineng, this is also incredible. ”

I thought about it, and felt that even I couldn't do this, it was easy to say, I had to give up the natural danger of Yanmen, get the suspicious soldiers to stabilize Ji Han, and then attack. Time, place, troop deployment, and grasp of the battle situation, if there is a slight mistake, it is a place from which there will be no return. This kind of trick is too risky, and I will never play such a move. So I put my mind at ease. He asked another thing, "Lord Liao, since the Zhiwen Institute may have been destroyed by Cao Wei, do you think the news they sent back could be fake?" ”

"No one can guarantee that all the news is true, which is why the minister personally disagrees with the news every day."

"So?" I voiced my suspicions. "Do you think it's possible that Sima Yi is also in Northern Xinjiang?"

Liao Li shook his head affirmatively: "Impossible, Sima Yi has been imprisoned." Our network in Yecheng is still very mature, and 'that person' has seen Cao Pi's holy decree in person, unless Cao Pi will tell lies for Sima Yi. Otherwise, he would definitely be in prison, not in northern Xinjiang. When he said this, Liao Li carried a kind of confidence.

"You're saying the news came back from 'him'?"

"Yes, it was 'him' who sent it back."

I was relieved, since it was "he" who saw Cao Pi's holy decree in person, then it was certain that there was nothing wrong with this will. Based on Cao Pi's suspicion of Sima Yi, it is impossible for Sima Yi to deceive all the ministers for Sima Yi's transmission of a holy decree.

I still believe in "him".

。。。。。。。。。。

Sima Shi rode his horse and came to Sima Yi. Said hurriedly: "Father, the north can't stand it, the Xianbei people are attacking too fiercely." ”

Sima Yi remained silent: "Time to support another pillar of incense, we will retreat." ”

"Yes." Sima Shi passed down the order, but he didn't leave, "Father, I heard that Yan Huan came back alone, saying that Ah Wang actually lost the captured Princess Ji Han?" ”

"Yes. Lost. ”

"This idiot!" Sima Shi was furious. "It's a shame that you've always been optimistic about him, and you lost Guan Feng. What to get my brother back? "Sima Yi and Sima Shi both had the idea of exchanging hostages, and when they thought that Sima Zhao was still trapped in Ji Han, Sima Shi became angry.

"Nonsense, how can you blame Ah Wang?" Sima Yi did not support Sima Shi.

"Don't blame him for who he blames, he saw that he was done, but he missed it again, what is this?"

"It's nothing, Ah Wang, Deng Ai and Yan Huan did their best, that's it. The overall situation of the day was not in his favor, although I sent Deng Ai to meet him, but Li Yan and Wei Yan captured the Great Wall, blocking them all in the encirclement of Ji Han and Xianbei people, their maneuvering space was too small, and some misses were understandable. What's more, although Guan Feng was lost, Yan Huan sent better news. ”

"What's the news?" Sima Shiqi said.

"Ah Wang, near the Qingshui River, they met the white-eared elite soldiers of the Han lord."

"What?!" Sima Shi's eagle-like eyes lit up, "Lord Han is in Qingshui River?" ”

"No, in my opinion, he should be in Jiling on the west side of the Qingshui River now. Jiling north by the Yellow River, and Shanan across the river and look, north control Yunzhong, south of the West River, west of the five plains, east of Dingxiang, into Dingxiang has Wang Pingyang as the wing help, retreat can cross the Yellow River with Liu Bao Xiongnu as the support, so he must be in Jiling. ”

"Father, I am willing to take a sentry to capture the Han Lord!"

"No, this time, my father will personally lead the army."

"But father, at this time, the Xianbei war is not over, even if we can kill Kebineng, the Xianbei people will definitely take revenge, if the Xianbei people come from behind, how can we resist?"

Sima Yi laughed: "Son, you still don't know about the Xianbei people. Xianbei people are all wolves, and each wolf pack has a head wolf, and if the head wolf is there, the wolf pack will be under the command of the head wolf, rushing and killing indiscriminately, sweeping the grassland. But as soon as the wolf dies, a fight will inevitably ensu. As long as we don't continue to attack, and they eliminate the crisis, they will naturally have their own plans, and at that time they will not be able to take care of themselves, where will they have time to chase us. You see, the first wolf is dead. ”

。。。。。。。。

Under the battlefield, there was an uproar, and it was the central Xianbei Lord Kebi who was shot down by a dark arrow.

For a time, the Xianbei people were in chaos, and the Wei army rushed forward and once again broke through the Xianbei people's position.

Wang Shuang gained power. Swing the knife to break through the encirclement, rush up the mountain, and approach Kebineng. The guards desperately stepped forward to block, Wang Shuang advanced quickly, fell into the siege, and only then waved a long knife to force back three or four people, but was pounced on by one person and rushed into the circle. The scimitar was agitated, slashing in front of Wang Shuang's body, although Wang Shuang tried his best to avoid it, he was still chopped through the heavy armor, and his waist was soaked in blood. The man's knife was bitten to death by the armor on Wang Shuang's body, and he couldn't take it back, and when he retreated quickly, it was too late, and he was waiting to die with his eyes closed. A man next to him pounced on him, raising a scimitar across the frame. Wang Shuang shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and the knife was strengthened. He severed the scimitar, and then cut the back of the strap, and the man who had the knife was slashed in two, and the man who wounded him was cut in two.

All the Xianbei people saw that Wang Shuang was so powerful, all changed color, and at this time, the Wei army rushed up the mountain with Wang Shuang, until Kebineng was under the big Xu, and the Xianbei people retreated one after another. The guards set up Kebineng and left. Kebi can be poisoned by arrows, half unconscious, unable to open his eyes, unable to stand up. Wang Shuang's eyes saw that the credit was in his hands, where was he willing to let it go, and with a loud roar, the meteor hammer flew out, hugging the head of the guard who was holding Kebineng in the middle. The skull was shattered. Died locally. A teenage boy wrapped in white sable jumped out and screamed to protect Kebineng. The Xianbei crowd shouted: "Shizi! "That's Kebineng's youngest son, who is with Kebineng.

Wang Shuang had no sympathy, did not stop for a while, and cut down again and again, and in the uproar of the Xianbei people, the Xianbei boy and Kebineng were cut into four sections. Poor Kebi can crisscross the desert for decades, and when he was strong and ready to make great achievements, he was betrayed by his subordinates and attacked by Sima Yi, so he died on the battlefield with his youngest son.

Wang Shuang beheaded Kebineng's father and son, cut off his head and turned around to kill back, and hundreds of people in Xianbei were all courageous, and no one could stop them.

。。。。。。。。。

Yu Zhuqi went crazy and let the soldiers charge, losing more than a thousand people to rush into the valley, the Wei army had already retreated while fighting at this time, the valley was full of blood, the smoke of the ground drifted with the wind after the fire, the iron-blue dark clouds pressed down, and the corpses of the horizontal and vertical harvested grass-like grass were thrown on the ground in a disorderly manner. The thick smell of blood rose to the sky, and the scavenging vultures circled in the sky, screaming horribly. Yu Zhuyu wasn't a person who cared about the dead, but at the moment he panicked.

He cried out loudly, "My lord! My lord! ”

But in response, he was a crowd crying all over the mountain, it was Daxu who was cut down, it was he who saw the headless corpses of Kebineng and Shizi, and the scimitar in his hand fell weakly to the ground.

What to do? What to do? What should I do if an adult dies?

Yu Zhuji's heart was in a daze, he asked people to raise Ke Bineng and his own banner high, he didn't believe that Xianbei would be defeated because of the death of the adult, he wanted to gather his troops to avenge the adult, to kill the Wei army, to make them pay the price of blood.

But--

The situation was beyond his control.

In Xianbei, the youngest son of the tribal leader was made the son of the family, and he could control the power and inherit his father's land and property, while the rest of the sons led their own troops and fought the world with their own strength. The battle of the Great Wall, Kebineng and the prince were raided and died, the matter of the southern expedition disappeared, the small tribes went home one after another, the big tribes each thought about it, the two sons of Kebineng each pulled the team and rushed to Danhan Mountain, who mastered the royal court of Danhan Mountain, who is the lord of Xianbei, the two of them attacked each other along the way, and fought hard, Kebineng worked hard to pull up the people and horses in his life, and he was ruthlessly consumed in this kind of civil strife. The surrender of Cao Wei's Xianbei leader Dai Hu A Wolf Ni led the army north according to Sima Yi's intentions, and along the way to absorb and annex small tribes, raise the banner of revenge for Budugen, and wantonly attack Danhan Mountain, with the support of Cao Wei, he also wanted to be the lord of Xianbei.

Everything was as Sima Yi expected.

"Report, big marshal, Daihua wolf mud is reversed, he is leading the army to attack."

"Report, the eldest son, the eldest son and the second prince learned that the lord and the prince died in battle, but instead led the army north to fight for Hanshan."

"Report, Marshal, our army is in chaos, all departments are attacking each other, and only us are left in the 100,000 army."

Yu Zhuyu was furious and cut off the soldier's head with a knife: "Nonsense, dare to lie about the military situation!" How could my Xianbei army be chaotic, a few thieves wanted to take advantage of the adult's death, and I flattened him with one drum! He looked around, his eyes full of murderous intent, if the news came. I'm afraid that except for my own subordinates, all these people around me will be scattered.

Everyone was shocked by him and expressed their stance one after another.

"The bow battalion is willing to honor the commander's order!"

"The pro-guard battalion is willing to honor the commander's command!"

"The Iron Rider in the Clouds is willing to honor the commander's command!"

"Good!" Yu Zhuyu waved his hand. Although the number of people is much smaller, these are elite soldiers, and if they can help themselves wholeheartedly, they may be able to save the Xianbei clan. However, he suddenly felt that the road ahead was so bleak. There are 150,000 troops in Xianbei in central China! Those who surrendered to Wei accounted for more than 50,000. The two sons each have 30,000, but they only have 10,000 in their own hands, and some tribes are all grass falling with the wind, who can listen to themselves? What's more, there is also the powerful Cao Wei watching from the side.

However, he couldn't think about this, and he shouted: "Immediately reorganize the army and escort the adults back to their hometown!" He escorted the coffin of Kebineng's father and son westward and returned to his own tribe first. He was to mobilize the whole army, draw all the men, and prepare for battle. He let his wife preside over the affairs of the ministry, but he himself rode his horse to the southwest.

He's going to get reinforcements. At the moment, apart from Ji Han, he doesn't know who else can help him. Save Xianbei.

I'm Adou

Chapter 83 of the second part raids on Jiling

"Father, did you pay too much attention to Liu Chan when you went to deal with him personally? And, we're alone. Will there be risks? "All the way to the march, Sima Shi asked Sima Yidao.

"Risk? There are risks at home, let alone in the army? As for the attention? I'm just afraid that I don't pay enough attention to it. ”

"No, I heard my brother say that Liu Chan is just a middle-aged talent, and when he was studying, his teacher beat him a lot. He is young and vigorous, and he is high-spirited. Guan Feng was captured this time, and he actually drove the expedition in person, which can be seen. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang and a few other capable people to help him, I'm afraid he would have been finished long ago. ”

"Do you think so? My son, you are underestimating the Han lord too much. He may not have great intelligence, but his eyesight is rare in the world. Not to mention the side, except for being designed by Meng Jian, he was forced to fight on the ground in the quail. When have you ever seen Han master fight with less and more hits. Fighting with the weak to the strong? Crowd is his style. There have been many wars in the past few years, and there are countless of them launched by our lord alone. But if you really don't move, only he can do it, my lord and Sun Quan are all empty of grain and grass, the Weinan War, the Yangtze River crossing, Jingzhou's fierce soldiers, how many battles have been fought, and what substantial benefits have been obtained? And the Han lord took Yongliang and Dinghedong, when didn't he suddenly start after arranging everything properly? Which one didn't hit with more wins and fewer hits? Even if he was attacked by Meng Jian, didn't he still use a small number of troops to drag Meng Jian to death? Do you think it's all just good luck? ”

"Of course, it's his good luck, but my lord is too stupid to make a loophole for him to drill."

"Silence, nonsense! My lord is a genius, how can I allow you, an ignorant boy, to talk nonsense. I've been wondering if I used to underestimate Lord Han, thinking that he was too young and incompetent. But in recent months, I have fought with him, although I am in the shadows, but I have not even been able to order a bargain, do you know why? I originally thought that after capturing Guan Feng, he would charge forward in a fit of rage. But is there one? No, he sent Li Yan to supervise the army and attack with Wei Yan, but he hid far away. It's been a month, and we still don't know where the Han lord's imperial camp is. I originally planned to lure and annihilate Ji Han in Dingxiang, provoke the Han lord, and make Ji Han make mistakes in the chaos, what was the result? The Han lord did not interfere in military affairs, and Li Yan and Wei Yan were cautious in their use of troops, and there were almost no flaws. And it is simply impossible for a monarch to go to the front line and not interfere in military affairs, and in Weinan back then, even my lord had to personally take charge of the three armies, and he could withstand this temptation. Of course, if I think that the Father is in power, no matter how flaws he has, I can also create flaws for them. However, before I entered the army, the Han lord actually contacted Xianbei and Liu Bao to surround him, and the coalition army was more than 200,000, what if we didn't retreat? If it weren't for that, why would I take the risk of attacking the Xianbei Chinese army thousands of miles north and going around in such a big circle?

Looking back at what Liu Adou has done over the years, you will find that he may not be good at fighting, and he will make mistakes in some small things, but he is very good at building momentum. He always tried not to confront our Great Wei head-on, but adopted the method of cutting off the marginal forces first, strengthening himself, weakening the Great Wei, and then attacking. Whether it is to attack Xiqiang, and the Western Regions, to unite Eastern Wu, to level Nanban or to come to Northern Xinjiang this time, it is all such a way of thinking. My Great Wei's strength is the most powerful in the world, but these years. We are rarely in the upper hand on various battlefields, why? Our forces are scattered, we have too many enemies, compared with the five roads attacking Ji Han during the Weinan War, the whole world has changed, looking at the world, there are Ji Han's friends everywhere. There are enemies everywhere in the Great Wei Land. Don't say it in the distance, just say that in the northern Xinjiang, Budugen, Kebineng, and Liu Bao turned out to be subordinates of my Great Wei, a letter of state, who dared not listen, but now, Budugen is dead. Kebineng and Liu Bao both bit us back. Based on this alone, can you say that the Han Lord is incompetent?

And, I'm always thinking about it these days. At this time, even if there is no sudden Shuo Fang incident, will the Han Lord also extend his tentacles to the northern frontier. In order to capture Hedong. He only released Wei Yan's 5,000 men and horses in the northern Xinjiang, and now the northern Xinjiang is in chaos, the princess is plundered, and Ji Han is furious. To put it mildly, this is an excuse for Liu Adou to set foot in northern Xinjiang. If in peacetime, if he wanted to raise troops, Liu Baoke would doubt whether Ji Han had the intention of annexing them and be wary of him. And now that he is going north under the pretext of revenge, neither Kebineng nor Liu Bao has anything to say, so he can only actively cooperate. After all, whoever it is. None of them will have anything to do with a man who is mad with rage. As for the monarch's personal levy, it should or shouldn't be. Speaking of which, this is really nothing in these years, not to mention peerless heroes like Emperor Wu and Liu Bei, even if it is a master of inheritance like Sun Quan and my lord, isn't it also a year of fighting? His Majesty has been the emperor for six years now, and he has personally conquered three times and once to conquer Ji Han. Two expeditions to Soochow. Sun Quan has also been on the same list many times. This is only the first time since the Han lord became emperor. For such a child, if it weren't for his timidity. It's just that he's too calm. But is he a cowardly man?

At present, the Han lord came to the northern frontier, stabilized the two allies of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and used them as wings to help us, with 200,000 troops against our 50,000 people, rescued Guan Feng, took Dingxiang, defeated Budugen, and used the power of the Xiongnu Xianbei to restrain us.

This time to the north, I didn't expect a few, one was not expected that the Han Lord would personally go north, in order to attack him, I gave up the opportunity to take the east of the river in the south, if not, it is not impossible for me to drink the Majing River at this moment, people, always greedy, meritorious, just want to pick up the big, even I am not exempt from vulgarity; The second is that I didn't expect to lose Shuofang County, and the princess of Ji Han was captured by us, the Han lord was not completely angry, his footsteps were steady and dense, and he actually united Xianbei and the Huns to attack us together, so I didn't dare to easily deploy troops; The third is that I didn't expect the Han army to be in a favorable situation, not arrogant or noisy, the march was fast and not chaotic, Li Yan was indeed a good general, compared to Wei Yan, he was more calm, so until now, I haven't moved him; Fourth, I didn't expect Guan Feng to be rescued on the way, Ji Han has so many talents, a very good chess piece, so he lost it in vain, but unfortunately, her land use value was originally very high.

However, since I am here, since I plan to deal with the Han Lord, I will not stop because of these difficulties. The Han lord is good at building momentum, but the father is good at breaking the momentum, the Han army has Xianbei people to help, I can't buy Kebineng, but I can buy Daihua wolf mud, I can ambush Kebineng, so that Xianbei people fall into civil strife, this is to cut off the wings of the Han army; Li Yan is more than afraid, but the attack on the enemy is insufficient, and getting Dingxiang is already the limit of his ability, he doesn't want to attack at this time, and this person is quite suspicious, and lacks a sense of the overall situation, so I directly exposed the road map of the march to him, making him suspicious, even if he knew that I was going to attack the Xianbei people, he was afraid and did not want to save him, not to mention that he decided that I had other plans, how dare I send troops easily, which is why I dared to leave the camp and go north thousands of miles; At the same time, Li Yan and Wei Yan attacked the Great Wall, and I let them harass their rear and fatigue their mentality, making them think that the Wei army infested near Dingxiang was just a small force of harassing troops, and there was no threat, but I would take this opportunity to suddenly insert from the opening of the Xianbei people's position and attack its rear road, and Ji Han would be defeated. And God bless, I learned the whereabouts of the Han Lord from A Wang, so that the Han Lord has nowhere to escape, Li Yan, Wei Yan and others are all in my hands. As long as we have a good fight in this battle now, the affairs of northern Xinjiang can be decided in one fell swoop, and this is the most important place. ”

Sima Shi listened to his father's explanation, nodded and said: "Father is wise, Zhang Wenyuan was eight miles away from 100,000 enemies and killed Sun Quan, if his father can eliminate the Han lord in one fell swoop, the credit is far greater than him." ”

Sima Yi smiled: "I hope so." ”

。。。。。。。。。

The four fields are silent. The last rays of light in the sky were swallowed up by twilight, the fiery clouds dimmed, and the iron-gray shadows took up half of the sky, and night came. In the valley, the Wei army lurked.

In the past four days, the Wei army did not light lamps, did not make campfires, marched overnight, and wherever they passed, if they encountered pedestrians, they would either slaughter, or catch them in the army and march with the army, without leaking the slightest rumor. From the Great Wall to Jiling, there are about 300 miles, all of which are mountain roads, and the Wei army only took more than three days to arrive, which can be called a miracle. They rested for a long day and quietly appeared outside the city in the middle of the night.

Sima Yi passed down the order, and Wang Shuang led an army of 5,000 to clear the defenders along the road and attack the east gate of Jiling City; Deng Ai, who returned on the way, led an army of 5,000 and attacked the north gate of Jiling City; Sima Wang and Yan Huan led an army of 5,000 and attacked the south gate of Jiling City; The three roads all bluffed with gongs and drums, so that Ji Han didn't know how many people came, and he didn't dare to break through from the three cities. And he personally took Xiahou Ba and Sima Shi to the crossing of the Yellow River, blocked the way of the Han lord to the west, and ambushed the Han lord after escaping from the west gate.

"Tonight, Liu Adou will be captured!"

"Yes! Liu Adou must be captured! ”
