278 The hope of the whole village --- Su Ming
After realizing that the Wuhuan people had escaped from their encirclement, Jia Xu was also thinking of a remedy.
You must know that Jia Xu's strategy is the most critical point.
That is, they want to stop the Wuhuan soldiers and horses under Shan Yu and his subordinates, and only in the face of the empty Wuhuan in the rear can the Xiongnu and Xianbei make a move against the Wuhuan.
If, after the Xiongnu and Xianbei went back, they would face the Wuhuan who had already led the army back.
Then, Yu Fuluo and Tanshi Huai will definitely not attack the Wuhuan tribe again.
If the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan are not allowed to form a blood feud, then Jia Xu's strategy will be regarded as a failure.
Once the strategy failed, the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes did not form an irresolvable blood feud.
Then, after they have repaired and recovered, it is possible to send troops again to harass the frontier of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, now for Cao Cao, no matter what, he must find a way to entangle the Wuhuan army, and he can't let the Wuhuan soldiers and horses led by Mudun escape back.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu sorted out his thoughts and immediately said to Cao Cao: "The top priority now is to intercept the Wuhuan army. ”
"No matter how the golden cicada escaped from our encirclement, his ultimate goal is to escape back to Wuhuan."
"Now we have to spread scouts in the direction of Wuhuan, first find the location of the Wuhuan army, and then entangle him to the death."
Without waiting for Jia Xu to finish speaking, Cao Cao asked eagerly: "What if we can't find the direction of the Wuhuan army?" ”
What Jia Xu said was to find the direction of the Wuhuan army, and he could send troops to entangle them.
But what if you can't find it?
You must know that Wuhuan is all cavalry and has strong mobility ability.
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, in terms of mobility, are far inferior to the Wuhuan army.
Therefore, Cao Cao has a great chance that they can't find Wu Huan's army.
You can't just think about the good!
You have to think about the worst.
The result of thinking about the worst is that you can't find the Wuhuan army, so what should you do.
After hearing Cao Cao's question, Jia Xu pondered for a moment and replied, "If you can't find it, you can only rely on Gongzi." ”
"Childe is now in Wuhuan's territory, let's immediately send scouts to give Childe an order, ordering him to intercept the Wuhuan army no matter what, and give our army time to encircle."
Of course, when Jia Xu said this, he actually didn't have much confidence.
You must know that when Su Ming left, he only brought 20,000 cavalry!
Su Ming led 20,000 cavalry to break through Wuhuan Mountain, the base camp of Wuhuan, and stirred around in Wuhuan's territory for so long.
Su Ming's specific casualties now, Jia Xu can't estimate at all.
Although Collapse was defeated, he still had seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands.
Even if Su Ming's casualties are not large, there is little hope if he wants to stop the collapse head-on on the grassland.
But now, there doesn't seem to be a better way.
Cao Cao also knew how important it was for their plan to stop the collapsed army.
At this critical time, Cao Cao still pinned his hopes on his son.
Cao Cao immediately said in a deep voice: "Do what the military advisor says!" ”
"Send someone to do these things."
On the grassland, Su Ming's life is not easy!
After breaking through the base camp of Wuhuan and robbing the Wuhuan Sacrifice Tianjin, Su Ming led them to attack the Wuhuan tribe.
Fortunately at first, these Wuhuan tribes had no defense, and Su Ming and they had repeatedly succeeded, and their results were very gratifying.
However, the Wuhuan tribe is not a fool.
When more and more Wuhuan tribes were attacked, the remaining Wuhuan tribes became vigilant.
They all released scouts and tightened their defenses, so that it would not be so easy for Su Ming and them to sneak attack.
In addition, some Wuhuan tribes that are close to each other have even established linkages with each other.
Once one tribe is attacked, the scouts will quickly notify the rest of the tribes to come to their aid, and multiple tribes will work together to encircle Su Ming and them.
Breaking through Wuhuan Mountain, as well as the attack in the early stage, the casualties of Su Ming's soldiers were actually not very heavy.
However, after the Wuhuan tribe was prepared in the later stage, Su Ming's subordinates began to suffer casualties.
Moreover, they are in the hinterland of the black and are enemies on all sides.
Here, it's okay to have a minor injury, but if you have a serious injury, you're basically dead.
By now, of the 20,000 horses led by Su Ming when he came, there were only 15,000 people left.
Of course, this casualty is not worth mentioning in terms of their achievements.
On this day, Su Ming and the others were thinking about how to create the next wave of attacks.
Qu'a, who was in charge of the scouts, brought a man with him.
"My lord, the scout sent by the prime minister!" Qu A reported to Su Mingyu.
Hearing that Cao Cao had sent someone, Su Ming couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
They have been tossing and turning in the Wuhuan territory for so long, in fact, the soldiers are also tired.
Su Ming thought to himself, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is sending someone now, isn't it a victory, and sent someone to inform him to withdraw the army.
"Did we win?"
"Can the siege of Liucheng be solved?" Su Ming asked towards the person sent by Cao Cao.
The person sent by Cao Cao hurriedly replied: "If you return to Gongzi, we will win, and the siege of Liucheng has been lifted." ”
"Xiongnu, Xianbei has withdrawn their troops separately, and our army is encircling the Wuhuan army."
Hearing the news, Su Ming nodded.
This attack on Liucheng was the head of the Wuhuan people.
When the strength is insufficient, whoever picks the head will be beaten according to whom, which is really not wrong at all.
Moreover, compared to Wuhuan, the Xiongnu and Xianbei are indeed not a threat.
Compared with Wuhuan and Xianbei, the Xiongnu and Xianbei are just a group of brainless savages.
At this time, the person sent by Cao Cao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Su Ming, saying, "This is what the military advisor asked us to bring to Gongzi." ”
Su Ming took the letter, opened the envelope and read it carefully.
In this letter, Jia Xu explained his strategy to let the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes fight.
And explained that due to poor consideration, let Bandun escape from the encirclement with Wuhuan soldiers and horses.
If he can't stop Collapse and these Wuhuan soldiers and horses, then his strategy will be a complete loss.
Therefore, he sent someone to inform Su Ming that he must find a way to stop the collapse for a few days, so as to buy time for the soldiers and horses behind to be encircled.
Su Ming finished reading the letter, and then looked at the soldiers who were already very tired from running around continuously.
He knew very well that this was a very difficult task!
However, no matter how difficult the task may be, it must be accomplished.
