October of the fifth year of Zhongping of the Great Han Kingdom (188 AD). ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

The news of the Xiongnu rebels' retreat north to the Yellow River made Li Hong anxious.

The original strategy of the Zhenbei General's Mansion was to wait for an opportunity to withdraw the Great Wall fortress after Kuitou attacked Tuoba Feng, and then let the Xiongnu rebels go north in time to support Tuoba Feng and defeat Kuitou, thus triggering civil strife in Xianbei. However, the Xiongnu rebels judged the situation and took the initiative to withdraw from Meiji and cross the Yellow River north. After the Xiongnu crossed the Yellow River to the north, they not only immediately reversed the passive situation of being trapped and beaten, but also helped each other with the armies of the Dongqiang and Xianbei tribes, forming a strong offensive and defensive alliance. Li Hong thought of his opponent's cleverness and decisiveness, and couldn't help but be full of worries and worries about next year's battle out of the fortress.

The Han army originally planned to use the Great Wall fortress as a base to attack the Xiongnu rebels in the north, but now this strategy had to be changed as the Xiongnu rebels crossed the Yellow River in the north. If the army forcibly crosses the river to attack, the first problem it will encounter is the transportation of grain and grass. The Yellow River was a natural barrier, and across this large river, the transportation of grain and grass for the Han army became an unsolvable problem. In order to ensure the success of the army's attack, Li Hong had to reconsider the attack strategy of the Northern Xinjiang War.

Li Hong hurriedly wrote to Xu Rong and asked him to order Yang Feng to take the hussar battalion and 20,000 Yellow Turban troops to immediately go out of the pass, quickly seize the two cities of Mayi and Wuzhou as quickly as possible, and continue to attack Zhongling and Shanwu south of Dingxiang County. In order to ensure the smooth attack of Yang Feng's army, Li Hong also urgently dispatched Yan Rou, who was stationed at Juyong Pass, and immediately led Yan Wudaunt's 5,000 iron cavalry to Daijun to attack Pingcheng in the northeast of Yanmen County from the direction of Gaoliu. Li Hong instructed Yan Rou that once he took Pingcheng, he would immediately go south along the Chi Road, join Yang Feng's army, and be sure to recover the territory north of Yanmen County to ensure that the Chi Road connecting the two states was unimpeded.

Li Hong rode 800 miles to the Son of Heaven in a hurry, detailing the impact of the Xiongnu rebels' retreat north to the Yellow River on the predetermined strategy of the Northern Xinjiang War. He begged the Son of Heaven to allow him to leave Yanmen Pass first with part of his troops, and when Tuoba Feng's strength was greatly damaged and his troops were insufficient, he quickly recaptured the lost territory north of Yanmen County, opened up the gallop road connecting the two states, and made sufficient preparations for future battles.

After a little discussion, the ministers of the Son of Heaven and Shangshutai immediately issued an order to Zhenbei General's Mansion and urged Xu Rong to quickly send troops to Yanmen Pass to recover the territory north of Yanmen County. At the same time, the Son of Heaven issued an order to Li Hong, saying that the riots of the victims of the seven counties were frequent, and they might cause a catastrophe in the near future, and he hoped that Li Hong would end the war in Youzhou as soon as possible and rush back to the state. In the edict, the Son of Heaven said all the things that had happened in the imperial court recently, and he once again urged Li Hong to return to the state as soon as possible. The sincerity of the words in the edict moved Li Hong very much. He longed to end the war in Youzhou in a few days to repay His Majesty's trust and favor.

Li Hong told Xian Yufu and Jade that the Son of Heaven was already in the capital, and he wanted to take advantage of the Han Dynasty's domestic and foreign difficulties to force the courtiers to agree to him to establish the imperial system. Xian Yufu was very surprised and said, is Your Majesty in a hurry, and establish the imperial system at this time? To establish the imperial unity, His Majesty must first deal with the Northern Army, and kill the general and the general of the chariot cavalry. And the empress was implicated by the great general, and it was definitely going to be abolished. After His Majesty deposed the queen, he had to persuade the courtiers to abolish the throne, and the most difficult thing was this. It is very difficult to pass the proposal of abolishing the heirs. Your Majesty has dealt with so many things together, Luoyang will definitely be in chaos, and if Luoyang is in chaos, the internal and external difficulties of the Han Kingdom will be even more serious.

Jade asked, will the Northern Xinjiang War still be fought? Do you want to lose territory in northern Xinjiang? Li Hong shook his head, very dazed, he didn't know. Li Hong said that His Majesty is very confident, as if he has a plan to deal with it. He seems to have solutions to the three things of quelling the riots of the victims, recovering the lost territory, and establishing the imperial rule.

The three of them gathered around and speculated for a long time, and they couldn't think of any perfect way for the Son of Heaven to handle these three things at the same time. Jade said, should we discuss it with Zhu Mu and Song Wen? If we can think of the plan of the Son of Heaven, we should also have a good preparation for it. Li Hong said that this is an extremely confidential matter in the Great Han Kingdom, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. There is a big gap between Zhu Mu and these scholars and us, and they will definitely not agree with the abolition of the heirs and the establishment of the concubine, so we should not ask for trouble. We are all soldiers of the Great Han Kingdom, we have to do whatever Your Majesty tells us to do, can you still disobey Your Majesty's holy decree? Jade smiled and said, "You have disobeyed the holy decree less?" How many times have you listened to His Majesty? Li Hong said embarrassedly, it was a war, the situation of the war was changing rapidly, and in order to defeat the enemy, there was no way for us to occasionally disobey the holy decree, but this matter could not disobey the holy decree, this was a matter related to the survival of the Han Kingdom, and we could not help but listen to His Majesty's words.

Late that night, Ink Shot suddenly came to the camp. He told Li Hong that Kuitou had been defeated by Tuoba Feng and had fled back to Danhan Mountain.

Li Hong was surprised and delighted, and he asked excitedly, what about Tuoba Feng? Shooting Moci gritted his teeth and said, Tuoba Feng, the Dongqiang people, and the Huns are attacking Danhan Mountain. Li Hong hurriedly said, didn't I tell you, you can lead your troops out of the country to support, and if you don't have enough troops, you can borrow from Loulu and Lu Pofeng, why don't you go to support but rush to me to do what? Is Lou Lu and Lu Pofeng unwilling to lend you troops? Inkcast shook his head, looking depressed. Li Hong was secretly surprised and looked at him very worriedly.

If Tuoba Feng captures Danhan Mountain and kills the leader, the civil strife in the Xianbei Kingdom will stop immediately. Tuoba Feng has Helian's son Qianman in his hands, and he is the rightful king of the Xianbei country. As long as Tuoba Feng supports Qianman as the king, even if the Xianbei tribes are not convinced and have their own ghosts, but considering the current situation in Xianbei and Tuoba Feng's powerful forces, it is estimated that no one will openly raise the flag to avenge the leader. The Xianbei country was not chaotic, and Tuoba Feng's strength was quickly restored, which did all kinds of harm to the Han country but not any benefit. Tuoba Feng controlled the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and he could recruit all iron cavalry in the name of King Xianbei. The Han army will go out of the fortress next year to regain the lost territory, and Tuoba Feng will definitely use the pretext of defending the Xianbei territory to recruit cavalry from various departments, plus the Dongqiang and Xiongnu gathered in the north of the Yellow River, Tuoba Feng's strength will be very amazing. If the situation in northern Xinjiang becomes such a situation, it will be a wrong move for the Han people to provoke civil strife in Xianbei, and the situation in northern Xinjiang will not improve in the slightest, but will become worse.

Of course, Li Hong couldn't tell him about this kind of thing, so he urged him to go back quickly. "Livestock, weapons, as many as you want, as long as you open your mouth, Lou Lu and Lu Pofeng will definitely give it, I have already greeted them privately. As for the transfer of troops, I can't come forward, I can't directly order Lou Lu and Lu Pofeng to help you fight Tuoba Feng. Li Hong said, "If His Majesty the Emperor knows that I helped Kuitou defeat Tuoba Feng, I will be fornicating with the enemy country, and I will be beheaded." Look for them again, and they'll say yes. ”

Shooting ink gave a wry smile and said, General, it's not that they don't agree, but the boss doesn't agree. Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the distress of the leader. Whether it is Ink Shooting, Loulu and Du Pofeng, their tribes all live in the territory of the Han Kingdom, and who doesn't know the relationship between them and the leopard? If Ink Shoot leads a large army into the country, the leader is fornicating with the enemy country, and Tuoba Feng said that he conspired to kill Qianman, and tried to occupy the Xianbei King forever. Even if the leader defeated Tuoba Feng this time, he would be ruined on the prairie, and he could no longer get the sympathy and support of the Xianbei tribes, and he was completely finished.

"What about Daigun's Karasuma-sama? How is he? ”

"Ran Ran has surrendered." Ink Shot shook his head and said, "The Xianbei people won't believe him. What is the difference between Ran Ran leading troops to Danhan Mountain and us leading troops to Danhan Mountain? I can't help the leader anymore, and my sending troops to support him will only hurt him, but let Tuoba Feng choose a big advantage for nothing. ”

Li Hong spread out the map and looked at it carefully on the desk. Inkici sat quietly on the side. He hurried to the camp to find Li Hong, hoping that Li Hong would think of a way to rescue the leader.

"Now Loulu can gather 10,000 people, you and Lu Pofeng can gather 5,000 people, and Ran Ran can also gather 5,000 people, so that there are 20,000 iron horsemen." Li Hong looked up at Shooting Mo Ci and asked, "If you rush to Yanmen County immediately, meet Yan Rou and Yang Feng, and launch a fierce attack on the three counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan, you see, can you force Tuoba Feng back in this way?" ”

Inkici shook his head without thinking.

"General, Tuoba Feng has long expected this method, he let the Huns station troops in Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Dingxiang, just to prevent you from attacking the four northern counties while Xianbei is in civil strife. Now the fate of the Huns and the fate of Tuoba Feng are tightly tied, and the Huns have to defend this place of shelter whether it is for themselves or for Tuoba Feng. In addition, Tuoba Feng finally seized this opportunity to control Danhan Mountain, how could he withdraw his troops? As long as he breaks through Danhan Mountain and kills the leader, he can dominate the prairie. Compared with the achievements of dominating the prairie and building a thousand years, what are the four northern counties? Even if he loses it, he will not withdraw his troops. Last year, Tuoba Feng could have controlled Danhan Mountain, but Murong Feng took the lead, and as a result, he got nothing, so he had to swallow his anger and find another good plan. This time Murong Feng and his army were pinned down in Yuyang, think about it, how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If he loses this opportunity again, will he be able to turn over? ”

"In fact, the general recruited 20,000 people to Yanmen County to attack the four northern counties, which is easier said than done. First of all, we need to gather a large army and then meet Lord Yan Rou in Yanmen County, which will take a while, and the leader may not be able to hold it for such a long time. Secondly, the attack on the four northern counties was a long journey, and it was impossible to end it in a short time after the fighting, and our soldiers and horses could hold on, but there was a serious shortage of food and weapons. In the past few months, Ran Ran and Gao Chan rebelled, and both sides not only lost their troops, but also consumed a considerable amount of livestock and weapons, plus I have been secretly supporting Danhan Mountain for a while now, so we no longer have enough livestock weapons to support long-distance and long-term battles. ”

Shooting Mo Ci sighed and said, "Danhan Mountain is very close to Daijun, if the army directly rushes to Danhan Mountain to attack Tuoba Feng and drive him away, we will be more than enough, but unfortunately the leader is unwilling." ”

Li Hong tightened his eyebrows, thought for a long time, and then asked, "What if we attack Danhan Mountain?" ”

Inkci was very surprised. "Attack Danhan Mountain? We attack Danhan Mountain? ”

"Yes. I directly ordered that, with Lou Lu as the commander, I would gather all the tribal cavalry of Dai County and Shanggu County to directly attack Danhan Mountain. We fought both Tuoba Feng and Kui, both of them. Li Hong said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if he agrees or not, let's talk about it." Of course, it's true to beat Tuoba Feng, and it's fake to beat the leader. ”

Shooting Mo Ci looked at Li Hong with suspicion, thought for a while, and said: "Tuoba Feng and Kui have fought fiercely repeatedly, both sides have been defeated, and both sides are exhausted, at this time, if we enter quietly, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard, but Lou Lu ......"

Li Hong knew what he was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Lou Lu is more hateful to Danhan Mountain because the death of King Heiling is related to the Xianbei people, so he is more hostile to Danhan Mountain, and he may kill arbitrarily and wantonly. In this way, I will let Lord Jade and Jade command the army of iron cavalry, what do you think? ”

Inkici lowered his head in contemplation, his expression very hesitant. It's a very risky thing and it can turn out to be true. Does Li Hong want to help the leader or kill the leader? According to the thinking of the Han people, it should be hoped that Xianbei will be as chaotic as possible, which will be conducive to the stability of the northern frontier of the Han Kingdom. If you want to make a big mess in Xianbei Country, of course, you must keep Danhan Mountain and keep the leader. From this point of view, Li Hong still really wants to help, otherwise, he would not suddenly change his mind and send troops abroad in the name of the Han army. However, whether the beating of Tuoba Feng is true and the beating of the leader is false, this is known only to the leaders of the Karasuma people, and the other Karasuma soldiers do not know. If these Karasuma people go crazy, or deliberately ignore them, and really attack Danhan Mountain, it will be the Xianbei people who will suffer.

Li Hong saw that he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, so he hurriedly comforted him. Li Hong said that the Karasuma people did not send troops this time because they were recruited by the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, but because they were forced by my military order, and they did not benefit from it. In order to preserve their strength, Lou Lu and Ran Ran Ran will not work very hard, at most they will just pretend. The purpose of our troops is just to delay Tuoba Feng's attack speed, so that he will not be able to take Danhan Mountain for a short time, as for repelling Tuoba Feng, that is the business of the commander, I will not do it, I will not let the Karasuma people lose their troops for the sake of a leader. After Da Shuai and Micah got the news that Tuoba Feng had joined forces with foreign tribes to attack Danhan Mountain, they would immediately go north to support, you can rest assured, the leader will be fine.

Inkici smiled helplessly. As long as the leader does not die and the Danhan Mountain is not lost, he is worthy of the dead King of Tanshi Huai. What about Xianbei Country, that's no longer my own business. Shoot ink and bow down to thank you.

Li Hong helped him up and said very seriously: "The Wuye tribe stays in the territory and is not allowed to leave the country. It's good for you and good for you. ”

Li Hong immediately ordered the requisition of the Daijun and Kamitani Karasuma Iron Cavalry, and ordered Daijun Karasuma Lord Ran Ran and Kamiya Karasuma King Loulu to each lead their men and horses to Macheng to join Jade, and Jade commanded the army to go out to attack Danhan Mountain. Li Hong talked with Xian Yufu and Yushi for a long time in the big tent, and when he left, Li Hong said, you tell Lou Lu, Ran Ran, and Lu Pofeng, and the loot is in Danhan Mountain, it depends on whether they have the ability to get it back.

White Sandalwood City.

Mika, Xiong Ba, Su Li and others surrounded Murong Feng, begging Murong Feng to go north to support Danhan Mountain, but Murong Feng was unmoved and resolute, he just didn't agree. He still said the same thing, as long as the leader is dead, the Xianbei country will not be chaotic, as long as the Xianbei country is not chaotic, the Xianbei tribes will not fall into a melee, so that the Xianbei country will still have enough strength to suppress the surrounding countries, especially the Great Han country. Otherwise, the strength of the Xianbei country will decline, and the future will be worrying.

Both Split Wind and Tie Ao supported Murong Feng. Tie Ao said that now Tuoba Feng has established Qianman as the new king, and at this time, we go north to support Danhan Mountain, which is equivalent to telling the Prairie Tribes that our central Xianbei and eastern Xianbei support the leader. In other words, there were two kings in the Xianbei country, and the Xianbei country was actually divided into two.

Cracking Wind said, not in two, but in three. The Western Xianbei Fallen Luo Luo first instigated the king to attack Tuoba Feng, and then rescued the king from the Eagle Plain, and then what? Then he left the king and ran away, and ran back to his western desert. What does Luo Luo want to do? Isn't that already obvious? He doesn't want to be the king of Xianbei in the west, he wants to be the king of Xianbei country, he wants us to fight to the death with Tuoba Feng, both of them are defeated, and they are dying, and then he comes out again to pick up the cheap and clean up the mess. You think clearly, look at the consequences of our rescue of the leader, and don't bury the entire Xianbei country because of hatred for Tuoba Feng.

Micah said that if the head of the Kui died, it would be Tuoba Feng who controlled the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and he would become the de facto king of Xianbei Kingdom, and Qian Man's little doll was just an ornament. In time, Tuoba Feng will tear off his disguise and reveal his true face and replace it. At that time, it will be our turn to die, and it will be our turn to exterminate the race. It is you who should think clearly, and it is you who buried the Xianbei country.

Xiong Ba said, after we went north to support Danhan Mountain and help the leader, the situation in Xianbei Country was not as bad as you imagined. The king of the head has all the tribes of Danhan Mountain, and behind him there is a great handsome man and a Mega person. King Qianman is a young baby, he has no power, and behind him is a Tuoba Feng's northern Xianbei tribes. Compared with the two, which is better and which is inferior, it is clear at a glance, are the leaders of the prairie all blind? Don't they know which king they should choose to support? Tuoba Feng used foreign tribes to attack Danhan Mountain and attack the king this time, and he has committed a heinous crime, as long as our army gathers in Danhan Mountain, and the marshal raises his arms and shouts, Tuoba Feng will die without a place to be buried.

Tie Ao retorted that Tuoba Feng now has the Huns, the Dongqiang people to help, and the strength is strong, if we attack north, we will inevitably lose both, who is cheap? It's cheaper than the Han Kingdom, and it's cheaper to drop Luoluo. With us here, I don't believe that Tuoba Feng dares to act recklessly and usurp the throne of Xianbei. I forgive him for not having the courage or the strength.

Su Li moved his fat body, stood behind Micah, and suddenly said: "We can shake hands with the leopard and make peace, let the leopard attack the Huns from behind, as long as the Huns are defeated, Tuoba Feng has lost his reliance, and it is difficult not to die." ”

There was a dead silence in the big tent for a moment, and the leaders of the Xianbei tribes were all shocked, and they looked at Su Li in amazement.

Su Li smiled and said, "If Tuoba Feng is dead, won't the Xianbei Kingdom be stable." When we recover, we can still fight leopards. Otherwise, in the future, we will be chased by leopards to the prairie and beaten with nowhere to hide and flee in all directions. ”

"Think about it, ......"

"You're looking for death." Micah turned around and kicked over, "We worked hard to defeat Yuyang and Lu Longsai, can we just return it to the Han people in vain?" ”

Su Li dodged Miga's angry kick and shouted very dissatisfiedly: "After we fight with Tuoba Feng, can this Yuyang and Lu Longsai still hold on?" Even the four northern counties of Tuoba Feng will be recaptured by the leopards. If we lose both sides of the battle with Tuoba Feng, don't say that the territory of these Han people, even the Danhan Mountain, or our grassland, will not be able to be saved. ”

Miga was so angry that he pointed at him and scolded: "Fatty, did you kill the leopard? Why is it getting more and more unproductive. ”

Su Li was startled, took a few steps back, and whispered, "It's better to have a broken gut than to lose your life." We are short of troops, and if we want to support Danhan Mountain, we can only abandon Yuyang and Lulongsai. ”

Murong Feng stood up, snorted coldly, and shook his hand away.

A few days later, Kuitou's younger brother Budu personally rushed to Baitan City to ask for help. The news brought by Budu made Murong Feng furious.

Leopard's subordinate Jade Shi led 25,000 Karasuma Iron Cavalry to suddenly appear in Danhan Mountain, and Tuoba Feng attacked wildly on the left and right. The leader couldn't support it, so he had to lead the Danhan Mountain tribes to abandon the royal court and retreat to the upper reaches of the Qiushui River. Jade commanded the Karasuma people to take the lead in seizing the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and after wantonly plundering it, a fire burned the royal court.

Tuoba Feng was furious and led his troops to attack and kill Jade. When the two armies were in the bloody battle of Danhan Mountain, the leader suddenly led the army to the back of Tuoba Feng, and the two armies attacked back and forth, and together they killed Tuoba Feng, but the leader then fought with Jade. The jade burned the royal court of the Khan Mountain, how could he not take revenge for this revenge? The leader was not dead, and of course Tuoba Feng was unwilling to withdraw his troops, he chased and intercepted him everywhere, vowing to kill the leader. In this way, the three armies were entangled in the vicinity of Danhan Mountain and Qiushui River, and no one was willing to withdraw their troops first.
