Chapter 298: Killing the Quartet

The bloodshed on the desert is not known to the people of the Sey, and even Ma Teng, who is garrisoning and annexing the state, is not sure of the real situation outside the Seychelles, so he is the most worried in his heart. This group of Xianbei people was too stingy, he only gathered 18,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen to march and practice, Xianbei Kebineng poured the power of the entire Chinese tribe to gather tens of thousands of cavalry generals to go down and merge the state, and in an instant, bypassed the border defense and attacked Wuyuan, so angry that Lu Bu, who was repairing the tomb in Yanbei, sent people to send seven letters in a month to urge him to go on the expedition.

Wuyuan County is Lu Bu's hometown, and this little old man, who used to be known as a flying general in Bingzhou, can't get used to seeing Xianbei people urinating on his ancestral grave.

But Ma Teng couldn't go on the expedition, and all of their Ma elites were thrown into the southwest battlefield by their sons, and there were not many available people in the state. What's more, the time he was in charge of the state border was still short, and most of the soldiers were newly recruited, and it was not easy to train some strong soldiers in the autumn moon but they were buried with the Xianbei people in a battle in the autumn moon, and the remaining thousands of old soldiers in the state are the foundation of the future state army, if they are defeated again, the border army of the state will be slumped in three or five years.

It's not that he can't beat it, but Ma Teng can't fight.

Bingzhou is a ghost place, and it is not as good as Liangzhou for Ma Teng. Liangzhou is also chaotic, but at least Ma's has been operating in Liangzhou for more than ten years, and it is deep-rooted, and there are available soldiers and people available at any time. What about the annexed states? Attacked twice a year by the Xianbei people, the attached Huns who used to be used to defend foreign tribes in the state were slaughtered by Yanbei, and the talented officials in the state were liquidated one by one after Li Guo killed Wang Yun, causing the entire Bingzhou faction to collapse.

There are more than 600,000 people left in the state, but Ma Teng didn't find a few outstanding subordinates, and now let him go out of the city to face Kebineng, he has less than three percent of the odds of winning.

That's why Ma Teng felt worried, he definitely couldn't fight, so whether he, the governor of the state, was used to contain or passively slacked the war, in fact, was no longer up to him...... It depends on the situation in the north.

If Tai Shi Ci led a large army to make contributions in Saibei, then he was here to contain the main force of the enemy, and wait for Tai Shi Ci to lead the army south to sweep the tail together; If Tai Shici loses in the north, then he will be passive and sluggish, and he will be punished when the dust settles.

The Ma family now has a pivotal position in the world, and all this is not easy to come by, but if there is an incident, I am afraid that they will be the first to be pulled out by Yanbei to clean up.

The tree is a big move.

Kebi was able to show off his might in Wuyuan County, and most of the state troops were shrunk within the city pass, even if there were a few Han troops patrolling the Great Wall, it was difficult to get benefits from being met by a large number of Xianbei riders in the field. As for the army, it is even more impossible, and the state of Mu Ma Teng is strictly guarded and let the troops guard the border fortress, and even most of the people of Wuyuan County have received the border fortress, where will they fight with him outside.

This time going south is too easy for Kebineng.

However, the fact that Kebi, the lord of the middle tribe and the uncrowned king of the Xianbei grassland, can be easy, does not mean that the Zonu who stayed in the eastern part of the tribe can be as easy as him...... Zonu did not have the slightest joy of receiving the favor of heaven now, but was full of caution, and Pegasus ran around in a few days, gathering all the soldiers of a dozen tribes under his command, but in the end he could only find more than 7,000 soldiers to fight, for him...... It's a big deal.

Although many tribes in the eastern Xianbei were all subordinates of Miga, when Miga was attacked, they only gathered their headquarters, and the combat strength of the entire eastern Xianbei tribe was less than one-twelfth. Except for the three slightly larger tribes that were wiped out by Yan Liangwen Chou under Tai Shi Ci earlier, most of the remaining tribes in the north received the news that the Mica tribe had been attacked and destroyed by the Han army through various means in the following month.

Some people sent people to the Micah Department, but they were blocked by the Han army on the way, and they escaped by luck and brought the news back to the tribe; Others were notified by other tribal leaders; There are more unlucky tribes that were directly hit by the Han army under Tai Shici...... Kicking the door and killing people is a matter of course.

The Yan expeditionary force in the grassland operations more and more handy, not like the Central Plains, the army marched in the field only a few days will be observed by the various cities, after all, there are many mountains and roads, people can choose so many marching routes, it is difficult to hide the whereabouts, so the war is more inevitable, before the battle begins, the two sides and even many commanders have preset the battlefield in their chests.

But the war on the grassland is not like this, the Xianbei herdsmen who are familiar with the road do not need to say much, for the Yan generals, most of the battles are encounters, there is no preset battlefield at all, as long as you find the enemy's tribe and launch an attack. The course of the battle was simplified to an extremely simple point, and in such a battle, it was difficult for the Xianbei people to gain an advantage over the well-armed Yan army.

What's more, in most battles, the Yan army always dispatched more troops at the same time than them.

After more than a month of expedition, Tai Shi Ci harvested a lot, and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses were raised by the follow-up people in stone villages near water sources, and Tai Shi Ci's army generals also became more and more aware of the terrain of Xianbei in the east. However, the price of successive victories in such wars is that Youzhou paid huge manpower and material resources to set up dozens of stone villages on the eastern grasslands, and recruited only tens of thousands of soldiers, but the number of people has long exceeded the number of troops, and this number has further increased with the distance of Taishi Ci's expedition.

Such a burden is no longer something that Youzhou alone can bear, and as the war progresses, Yandong's staff handed it over to him to calculate that Youzhou's taxes last year could only support the results of four months. Half a month after the expeditionary war was launched, Yandong sent a letter to Handan, asking Yanbei to transfer money from Jizhou to Youzhou.

The biggest consumption is the donkey, followed by the wooden bucket and leather bag used to hold water. After winning victory after victory, the Taishi Cibu was able to basically provide themselves with the grain and grass they really needed, but the transportation of water really consumed too much of their energy. Hundreds of men marched through the endless yellow sand, cycling from one stone village to another, carrying water from donkey's back to the next destination.

On the contrary, the battle has become the least threat of the reduction of soldiers, dying of thirst, disease, exhaustion, getting lost, and even being bitten to death by poisonous insects.

This is against the sky, and such a war should not have occurred in this era, because the means of transportation in this era are simply not enough to support such a huge burden of burden. If it weren't for the fact that the Yan clan had a huge number of donkeys to carry goods, there was no need to fight to the southwest and southeast, and the northern expedition to Xianbei alone would be enough to drag down the huge north.

But even so, the outcome of the battle is still up in the air.

However, the pressure on Zonu was always greater than that of Tai Shi Ci, because he had already received the news that the Han army was killing all sides in the Eastern Xianbei tribe.
