Chapter 64: Desperate and Humble

The seven-foot-tall BMW horse, the children of the Han family who were snatched and enslaved, and the animal skins that could keep the soldiers who participated in the war before they had time to change into winter clothes often occupied Yanbei's mind during these days.

He's a utilitarian guy who doesn't have much in his head.

He believes what is good to him; He does what is good to him.

Naturally, what he values most is the wealth of the Xianbei tribes on the grassland, but if he can save his poor people by the way, he will be happy to do so.

The most ancient buildings in Youzhou are the Great Wall. The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty made his fourth eastward tour in Liaoxi and set up a national gate, which was the location of the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the territory was expanded, and the narrow strip of east and west north of the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty was included in the country, and at that time, its people rebuilt the seven sections of the Great Wall of the Yan Dynasty in Shanggu County, Yuyang County, and Youbei Equal Land in the north, so as to guard the Xianbei people in the north and lay the cornerstone of the Han family's country.

In Yuyang County, Sun Qing and Zhang Leigong's scout light cavalry and Han Zhonglang's scout left by Meng Yi engaged several times, relying on excellent armor and riding crossbows to fight several battles with more wins and fewer defeats, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire army. In addition, the biggest gain was to torture Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan's main forces at this time to disperse into several units, and pursued Zhang Ju to Liaoxi County and Changli in the northeast.

After Yanbei got the exact news, he drove the soldiers and horses all the way to the north, spending a lot of money to buy grain and grass to supplement the baggage in various parts of Yuyang, and then most of the soldiers and horses rushed out.

Yanbei has passed through the Great Wall of the Yan Dynasty in the north of Yuyang County countless times, but every time in the past, it was fearful, only this time is very different.

How many border troops are there stationed on the Great Wall in Youzhou? There are only more than 3,000 troops stationed in Jiufeng and Sixteen Sui!

And how many soldiers and horses are there in Yanbei? The athletes under his command stretched out a long snake and marched south of the Great Wall, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance. Where did anyone dare to stop such an army, and a light cavalry chased the wind and rushed under the city gates, but a stick of incense took over the defense of the Great Wall even before the defenders lit the beacon. The generals will cut the dolphin on the case, put incense on the case, respect the heaven and earth, and sacrifice to the road god.

The herald will cut wood to make cards, the blade is engraved, the literate person writes the letter to the family, Yanbei raises his eyes and looks around, and the color of the northern land changes from green to yellow.

Looking north, the vast curtain and the vast grassland are called the battlefield in his heart.

But looking back, those layers of mountain lines like a sleeping dragon have a warm name called hometown in the hearts of the expedition soldiers.

Jiang Jin looked at Feng Sui and smiled, "If the Han family defenders smoke it, they are warning the Xianbei dogs and babies to be careful." ā€

Only he could laugh at everyone, Yanbei ordered him to write a letter to his family, only Jiang Jin didn't know what to write, and he didn't even know who to write to. He has been in exile with Yanbei for too long, he has returned to his hometown after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the hometown of Jixian County, which had made him think about it for a long time, has become a matter of people, his father died of illness, his wife and children remarried, and the evil young man who fought cocks and lackeys in the township was all lost in the battle of Julu.

He was not like Li Damu of Julu County, who saw that the big-eyed thief was holding a stack of thick wooden cards to find the pawns who could write in the army, kicked away the subordinates who were in a row and were eager to write family letters, and regardless of the angry eyes of others, he threw down seven or eight wooden cards on his head, and wrote to his sisters and brothers who were still at home, and the old mother of Gaotang.

But Jiang Jin no one could write a letter.

Youzhou Han'er, who has nothing, is more free and easy, and all he thinks about is gold and silver treasures, high-ranking officials and lords, rather than the rare sons and daughters in Yanbei.

Yanbei is almost a fraction of a minute away from being able to write about, no matter how strong a man looks at his feet, one more step is a foreign country, and if he goes again, life and death are uncertain, and he will become indecisive. Therefore, the ghost made him decide to send a letter to Zhen Jiang in his unattractive font.

He thought of the jade-footed treadmill on the carriage outside Lunu City, and glanced at the beautiful woman with a bow and arrows and frowning angrily; He thought of Zhen Shiwu for the first time, and the sentence in Mei Jiaoniang's mouth, 'The first time I saw you, I felt that you didn't look like a Han army, but like, like a horse bandit leader!'" ’

Thinking of this, he picked up the pen and did not know what he should write, whether to describe the danger of his trip? Or do you want to pour out the beautiful and hazy emotions in your heart?

"In the coming year, the mulberry trees on Mo will bloom, the loom in the courtyard of the mansion will sound, and the seeds in the field will break through the ground and grow tall.

Seeing that he had finished writing the wooden card, Yan Bei smiled for no reason, this wooden card will be sent to Zhen Shiwu in Zhongshan Country through the distance of three counties. How affectionate he thought he would write, but in fact look at where this is a family letter?

In fact, he really wanted to tell Zhen Jiang that her feelings were not wrong. Yan Erlang may not be a hero at this moment, but he dares to say that he is the only horse bandit leader in the world who stands on top of the Han family fortress and burns incense to worship the god of the road!

Yan Bei walked down the city tower, grabbed a handful of loess with his bare hands under the city wall closest to the Han family, stuffed it into his armor, wiped his hands and shouted: "Jiang Jin, find out all the old brothers!" Sun Qing, collect the family letters of the brothers, and you send someone to Yuyang to find people to send them all to where they should go! ā€

Sun Qing was ordered to find more than 100 riders and galloped in the camp to collect souvenirs. Jiang Jin, Wang Yi and the only seven Yellow Turban soldiers who fled north with Yanbei from the Jizhou battlefield to the present day had their eyes shining. When Yanbei summoned them to the big tent of the Chinese army, which only the captains of various departments were qualified to discuss matters, they knew that their opportunity had come!

It wouldn't be anything else for Yanbei to come to them, if you say that you are the most capable captain of those departments to lead the troops to fight, but you want to talk about sabotage tactics against foreign clans? They have been doing it for a long time in the past few years!

Because their leader is not an orthodox general, their leader is a well-known horse bandit leader!

"This time, we don't need too many foot soldiers, just use our 7,000 horse army to push all the way outside the Saiwai, and the foot soldiers will travel thirty miles a day all the way along Leshui until we see the grassland, all the tribes within a radius of a hundred miles along the road, when we walk, none of them can survive this winter!"

Leshui is a living water that runs through the entire Xianbei Desert in the east, and is directly connected to the Gaima Mountain, which no one can climb.

With the general plan, the army of foot soldiers was sent out of the pass first, and the cavalry and generals learned and practiced the customary tactics of Yanbei and others in the pass, and the three thousand scouts were scattered into more than 20 large and small caravans, carrying out their usual barter and subsequent destruction, and then the brigade composed of 4,000 horsemen was divided into two parts led by Lu Yi and Gao Ran, and when the caravan caused chaos among the tribes, they were responsible for the follow-up finishing attack.

How could Gao Lan, Lu Yi and the others have ever seen Yanbei and their rogue tactics? Even if the Han people fought a war without declaring it, the fundamental purpose was to occupy land or seek political victory, and there had never been such a vicious plan as they carried out endless destruction in order to obtain goods, and even caused the tribe to exterminate the tribe!

The importance of Leshui to the eastern Xianbei is no less than the Hanjia city along the Juma River, if there is no water source line in this curtain, the Xianbei people who lack drinking water will not be able to gain a foothold in this land. This determines that even if the whole Xianbei clan falls into chaos after the death of Tanshihuai and Helian, and the various tribes of Xianbei in the east conquer each other, the Leshui line must be the most eye-catching land and the most fierce competition for grassland.

And the tribe that occupies it must be the most powerful tribe.

What Yanbei wants to do is a desperate plan!

When the remnant sun of the Great Wall of the Yan Dynasty slowly fell from the desert outside the Saiwai, Yanbei crossed the horse and looked around to the north, and a grand autumn hunt of the Han people against foreign people kicked off!

Hundreds of horsemen who were proficient in equestrian skills set out from Chengguan and set out on an unknown land all the way north, tasked with finding the various tribes along the route, and surveying the population, horses, and livestock of the tribes in the desert as much as possible to conceal themselves as much as possible.

Immediately after that, dozens of caravans dispersed immediately after exiting the customs, hanging more than ten miles behind the scouts; In the future, even the two cavalry commanded by Yanbei are the biggest reliance on this sweep of the Xianbei tribes in the east.

Their plan was only ideal, because the camouflage of the caravan limited even the largest number to only about 300 people, and as far as Lu Yi knew, although the Eastern Xianbei were lonely compared to the Xianbei people in the middle and west, there were still some strong clans in the middle.

"The most likely to win the Xianbei East Adult's first recommendation Mika, this person is considered an old generation figure in Xianbei, is the son of Xianbei inferior nobles, the earliest his father followed the Tanshi Huai Lord to fight around, his father died and established Micah as the tribe adult, the son inherited his father's business to follow the Tanshi Huai to unify the Xianbei cause, Xiping six years of the emperor made Xia Yu, Tian Yan, Zang Min three generals in the north attack Xianbei fell to the credit of this person, but now Micah is old...... He is also the Xianbei Lord that the general is most likely to meet on this trip. ā€

"Do you know how many men he has?" Yanbei led the army on the way, and on the other hand, he asked Lu Yi about the situation of the Xianbei tribes, and asked, "Who else?" ā€

"Micah's tribe probably has more than 10,000 people, and there may be more than 3,000 elite people, but more of them are small tribes that belong to him, as long as we wipe out the small tribes along the way, the so-called Xianbei Lord is just an empty shell." Lu Yi said with a smile: "There are many similarities between the Xianbei people and the Qiang people, their conscription is much rougher than that of the Han family, it is nothing more than the order of the lord, and each tribe will send a soldier to follow...... It's just a rabble. ā€

Yan Bei grinned, noncommittal about this. The rabble could still defeat 30,000 Han troops outside the Saiwai in the sixth year of Xiping, so that the emperor could even dismiss Captain Karasuma and two lieutenant generals in a fit of anger?

"General, don't believe it, with the Xianbei people as enemies, as long as our soldiers and horses can hold their positions, the Xianbei people will definitely rush up, if they can't attack their leader for a long time, they will send a few small nobles to the front of the battle to challenge or rush into battle, just kill them, and the morale of the Xianbei people will drop greatly! When the time comes, the rabble will collapse without a fight. ā€

Listening to the Liangzhou dialect of Lu Yi so sure, although Yan Bei still didn't believe it, he still disagreed with it in his heart, and then listened to Gao Ran on the side and said to him: "What Captain Lu said is not unreasonable, the so-called method of battle formation, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than to arrange the military formation to let the soldiers cheer up each other's courage, and the alien races are used to recruiting soldiers from different tribes, and the nobles they are loyal to are dead, so they naturally have no intention of fighting again." That said, we don't have to worry too much about fighting the Xianbei. ā€

Hearing that Lu Yi and Gao Ran both said this, Yan Bei nodded and continued to listen to Lu Yi's introduction to the tribes such as Suli and Que Ji in the eastern Xianbei.

In fact, the previous goodbye without saying goodbye now seems to have left great benefits to Yanbei. Not to mention that Wang Dang and the others, who followed him earlier, are now in their own hearts, and even Gao Lan, Fu Zhu, and Lu Yi also call him a general and recognize him as a leader. This kind of thing is a benefit that Yanbei never expected, but now he accepts it calmly!
