In the early morning of the third day when Yuyan died at the hands of Xu Huang, Yanbei heard that the Xianbei soldiers who were clearing obstacles on the valley road stopped their movements. The mountain road did not clear enough roads for the army to march, which made Yanbei feel bad.

Generally speaking, Kebineng only has the only way to attack the mountain road, but at this time, the mountain road has not been repaired and there is no movement, so it must be Kebineng who has changed his mind.

That's not a good thing.

However, looking down at Zifeng Peak, the Xianbei people's military tent camp was still tightly organized, but there were not many people moving around, which made Yanbei feel that something was wrong.

"Ordered the camp to cross the mountain road and approach the Xianbei camp to investigate." Yan Bei's fingers slowly rubbed his palm, and the loss of control of the situation made him nervous, for fear that he would command the army to lose because of his own negligence, "Go and see, there are birds on the Xianbei camp." ”

When the words fell, Yan Bei called another messenger and said: "Go and tell Liu Bao and ask him to quickly send light horses across Fushui to block Juyong Pass from north to south." ”

There was a faint bad premonition in his heart, and Guo Jia's gaze at the enemy camp was equally cautious, "It's too quiet, the Xianbei people are always noisy when they camp together, this is not like having an army of 20,000." ”

"This is exactly what worries me, the encirclement has not yet been formed, and if I run Kebi, I will be in endless trouble." Yan Bei grabbed the hood and shook his head slowly, frowned and said: "But if Kebi can run, why bother sweeping the rolling stones and trees for two whole days, isn't it bad to withdraw the army on the day Yu Yan died?" ”

"General, I'm afraid we've been deceived!" Guo Jia stared at his eyebrows and said: "The tougher the posture of the enemy army, the more they have to retreat. The general can hear that in the past, Dong Zhongying fought with the Qiang people, pretending to build a river dam to fish, and secretly slowly withdrew the army, and when the Qiang people wanted to pursue, it was too late, Kebi could use the same method as Dong Zhongying to confuse us, and now the birds may be nesting on the camp tent of the Xianbei people. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for news to come from the camp that the scouts had crossed the barrier and headed straight for the Xianbei camp, which was already empty, except for a few cattle and sheep, some of which were chained to the tent and some of which were chained between the camps to make a noise to confuse the public.

As for the Xianbei people, they have already led the army north, leaving a large number of horseshoe rut marks and human and animal feces.

"Alas!"

Yan Bei hatefully slammed his skewer on the ground, beckoned the messenger and said, "Go, let Liu Bao come back, you don't have to go to Juyong Pass, just ask him to send scouts to track the direction of the Xianbei people's departure." ”

Not long after, Dian Wei, who was searching for the Xianbei camp, sent someone to send a roll of sheepskins, and Chen said that they had found more than 1,000 cattle and sheep and many animal skins and other sundries in the camp. Yan Bei opened the leather scroll, and on it was the letter that Xianbei Kebi could leave to himself.

The letter said that Kebineng had returned to Saiwai, he had no intention of being an enemy of the Han Dynasty, and would persuade the leaders of the tribes to return, and the cattle, sheep and animal skins left behind would be regarded as compensation for the two states of Youji, and he would continue to send envoys to Jixian to pay tribute after returning, hoping to get Yanbei's forgiveness and not to pursue.

But Yanbei didn't have any joy on his face when he looked at this letter, only deeper jealousy, shook his head and sighed: "Ke Bineng, he is a person who can bend and stretch!" ”

Can Kobi lose?

It was Yuyan who lost, and for Kebineng, this battle was only slightly defeated.

Did Yanbei win?

He only won against Yuyan, but he didn't beat Kebineng, and he only had a slight advantage.

As long as there is no win or loss, Saiwai will always worry Yanbei.

"How does the general know that this is not a good thing?" Guo Jia, who was standing beside Yan Bei, had a smile on his face, and his judgment of the situation was not so sad. Often accompanied by Yanbei, how could Guo Jia not know what Yanbei thought in his heart, he smiled and said with relief: "Although this battle was not decisive, it is enough to let Youzhou know that the enemy outside the Saizhou is now a flaw left by the mobilization of Youzhou troops in Jizhou last year, as long as there is no such flaw in the future, it will be difficult for the Xianbei people outside the Seychelles to get such an opportunity." ”

The reason for Xianbei's southern invasion was that Yanbei was transferred to protect Wuhuan and Yuyang Taishou, which made Youzhou empty.

"What Feng Xiao said is exact, Yan knows this truth, but he just has a grudge." Yan Bei said with a chic smile, shook his head slightly, and said: "It was Yan who failed to seize the opportunity, if it wasn't for greed, if it was not for the combination of the Huns and Montenegro yesterday, although it would not be a complete victory, it would also weaken the Bineng headquarters and make the grassland chaotic...... Now, there is nothing to be done. ”

"The general is not out of options, could it be that this time Xianbei went south, the general didn't find an opportunity between the Xianbei departments?" Guo Jia smiled and raised his hand to Yanbei to the northwest, and said: "Budugen and Fuluo Han led the army outside the county but did not invade the south, Kebi can be close to the attacker but Yuyan, and now Yuyan is dead, although the whole division is still alive, the strength may not be stronger than Budugen, even if the general does nothing, within three or five years, the situation in the grassland will be even more chaotic." What's more, there are many things that generals can do, and the most effective thing is to stop their disputes! ”

Yan Bei looked at Guo Jia puzzled, and asked with a smile: "When Hu Shuai went south to the Central Plains, he led the beasts to eat people, Yan couldn't wait for the Xianbei people to kill each other, where would he stop their disputes!" ”

"The general should not treat them as Hu Shuai, just as the princes of the Central Plains." Guo Jia shook his head, retracted his sleeves and probed his hand and said: "The general competes with Cao and Lu Er, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger; General Cao attacked Xu, and the general sent a message to stop the war, because the chaotic princes were far better than General Cao, who unified the Central Plains. Since the general understood this truth to the southern princes, why couldn't he apply it to the northern captives outside the Saiwai in the same way? Doesn't the general think that Hu Shuai, who has two competing Hu Shuai in the central Xianbei and Kebineng, is more advantageous to me than the central Xianbei who is unified by Kebineng's subordinates? ”

Yanbei understood what Guo Jia meant, "Feng Xiao is saying that they will divide and divide, so that they will fall into each other and have no power to go south?" ”

"Exactly, in the past, when my Han Dynasty was strong, it was because the imperial court could control the place; Now the decline of the Han Dynasty is due to the inability of the imperial court to govern the Quartet; This truth is true for my Han, isn't it true for Xianbei? Let them mess with each other, and we will make friends with both sides, and never let them be at peace. In the long run, I am strong and he is weak, and when the time changes, I will be able to accept Xian and be inferior to me if I send a general to the north! ”

Saying that, the smile on Guo Jia's face was hidden, and he said: "After this battle, Su Li is no longer allowed to be humble, and the general can let him be a Han." ”

When the entire Xianbei tribe went south into Youzhou of the Kou Han Dynasty, the Suli Department not only reported to the Han Dynasty, but also garrisoned Liaodong for Yandong. Su Li had no choice but to join the Han Dynasty.

Yanbei was silent, many years ago from Handan to Liaodong, the Xianbei tribe drank and talked happily, Yanbei did not think that it would come to this point.

Brother Suli, I'm afraid you can only be a Han man.
