242.Chapter 242
Guan Hai is the real leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and when he heard Chen Xu's words, he hurriedly said with a stiff neck: "Lord, you are the son-in-law of the great virtuous and good teacher, and I wanted to come to you a long time ago. ”
"However, there are so many brothers who have followed me that I have never been able to abandon them. Now I have been taken in by the lord and settled my brothers. From now on, this life of mine belongs to the lord. ”
"The lord went to Saiwai this time, nine deaths, I please be the pioneer, go out of the fortress to kill Xianbei dog!"
Hearing Guan Hai's words, Chen Xu's heart was relieved. He hurriedly stepped forward, helped Guan Hai up, and said, "If you go with me to Saiwai, how should those sons and daughters under your account be settled?" ”
Guan Hai said nonchalantly: "I have a few catties and a few taels, I know best in my heart." The lord asked me to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, how can I have such ability? ”
"Let's merge the state, there are many talents, and it is better for the lord to find someone to lead these soldiers than for me to be their commander. Rather than commanding an army, I prefer to charge into battle. ”
When Chen Xu heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed: "Ah Hai is really a warrior!" I agreed to your request. ”
This time, the three of them were summoned to come, and Chen Xu just wanted to take over their military power. Now that Chen Xu has not yet spoken, Guan Hai took the initiative to ask for the removal of military power. This is not to say that Guan Hai is smarter than Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, it can only be said that Guan Hai is honest and has no ambitions.
Guan Hai was overjoyed when he heard Chen Xu agree to his request, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
Chen Xu looked at Guan Hai, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. It was only now that he knew why Cao Cao in history liked the simple-minded martial artist so much.
These people have nothing to do with twists and turns, as long as they are genuine, they can gain their loyalty. And they have no ambition yet, they will not rebel.
Seeing Chen Xu's performance, Zhang Yan's heart sank. Only now did he know why Chen Xu had summoned the three of them this time.
Although he wanted to give up the military power in his hands, Zhang Yan was a little reluctant in his heart. But he also knew that if he did not show his loyalty in the current situation, it would be difficult for him to return alive.
On the contrary, if he handed over the military power now, he would completely gain Chen Xu's trust. In the future, Chen Xu will be relieved to boldly use him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and said, "Lord, please also go to the outside with the lord." As for the men and horses under his command, please also ask the lord to choose another good general! ”
Chen Xu looked at Zhang Yan who was kneeling on the ground, pulled him up, stared at Zhang Yan's eyes tightly, and found that his eyes were full of determination, and Chen Xu trusted Zhang Yan at this time.
He laughed, patted Zhang Yan's shoulder hard, and said, "Since Ah Yan has the heart to make meritorious contributions, how can he refuse?" ”
Although Yang Feng was relatively dull, when he saw the performance of Guan Hai and Zhang Yan. knew that he not only had to hand over the military power, but also had to go out with Chen Xu.
Fortunately, Yang Feng didn't have other thoughts now, so he hurriedly followed suit.
The military power of the three was confiscated, and the rear of the state was completely secured. Then Chen Xu handed over all the military power of the annexed state to Chen Gong, and dispatched Chen Hu, Chen Qing, and Zhang Liao to assist Chen Gong.
Then, Chen Xu entrusted the government affairs of the state to Tian Feng, and took Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, Guan Hai, Yang Feng, as well as 1,500 trapped camps and 5,000 Hun cavalry, to Saiwai.
Like Zhao Yun and the others, Chen Xu only carried half a month's dry food, and there was no other baggage at all. In this way, he led the troops to go deep into the outside of the fortress.
Chen Gong and Tian Feng looked at Chen Xu's departing back, and their hearts were full of mixed tastes. It is a taboo for soldiers to go deep alone, but in the current situation, they have to act like this.
At this time, a figure suddenly ran out of the city, he came to Tian Feng and Chen Gong, and stammered: "Army, military advisor, I, I know the lord, the lord is going to go on an expedition outside the fortress." ”
The people who came were talking and dancing with their hands, looking very anxious.
Chen Gong fixed his eyes and found that the person who came was Ma Jun. Because Ma Jun invented the waterwheel, after coming to Jinyang, he also improved a lot of farm tools and ordnance, so Chen Xu attached great importance to him.
After seeing Ma Jun, Tian Feng and Chen Gong asked him not to worry, there was something to say slowly.
Ma Jun stuttered a little, stammered when he spoke, and it took half a pillar of incense for the two to understand what Ma Jun wanted to express. After listening to Ma Jun's words, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
It turned out that when Zhao Yun and the others went to Saiwai, Ma Jun thought of making the lost guide car. Because of the vastness and desert outside the Saiwai, it is easy to get lost.
If you have a guide car, you won't get lost.
When the guide car first appeared, it was the Yellow Emperor who fought against Chiyou. Legend has it that Chiyou summoned a heavy fog and besieged all the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Emperor inside, unable to discern the direction.
In order to defeat Chiyou, the emperor made a guide car, that is, Sinan.
In addition, Zhou Gong, the fourth son of King Jichang of Zhou Wen during the Great Zhou Dynasty, also made a guide car.
However, today, the manufacturing method of the guide car has long been lost. Ma Jun studied for a long time, and finally let the guide car appear again.
The guide car manufactured by Ma Jun does not rely on the polarity of the magnet for positioning, but relies on the orientation of the mechanical system to make the guide car.
This kind of guide car, no matter which direction the car is going, the arm of the villain on the car always points to the south. That way, you won't get lost.
Chen Gong hurriedly called Chen Hu and said to him: "Ah Hu, you quickly send a light horse to deliver the guide car to the master." By the way, there is also a method for making a guide car, which should also be sent. ”
"If this guide car breaks down, the lord can also use local materials and make another one."
Chen Hu knew that the stakes were very important, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he beckoned the few light cavalry beside him, and set up a guide car to chase after Chen Xu. Fortunately, this guide car is not big, so it is not troublesome to carry.
The Wolf Juxu Mountain is the birthplace of the Tula River, which flows west and then turns north to flow into the North Sea along with the Selenga River.
More than 100,000 Xianbei troops surrounded the entire Wolf Juxu Mountain. They learned from the experience of being robbed by Chen Xu last time, and they were strictly guarded every day, and they were tightly guarded against the state army going down the mountain to rob the camp.
A Xianbei tribal leader spat at the ground and said hatefully in Xianbei language: "That Han army is so tenacious, it has been besieged for so long, and it has not collapsed. ”
Another tribal leader also said: "If this continues, the Han army in the Wolf Juxu Mountain has not collapsed, and there is almost no food in our tribes." ”
At this time, a young Xianbei leader laughed and said: "Don't panic, tribal leaders, I have carefully observed for a few days, and the cooking smoke in the Wolf Juxu Mountain is decreasing every day. It shows that the Han people's food stocks are almost gone. ”
"As long as it drags on for a few more days, when the Han army runs out of food and grass, they will definitely collapse without a fight. At that time, we can kill those Han people who are inferior to pigs and dogs, and avenge the dead Xianbei brothers. ”
Speaking of which, the young tribal leader had a look of hatred on his face.
After listening to the words of the young leader, the leaders of the various tribes in Xianbei did not continue to speak. Although the person in front of him is young, he has begun to emerge since he died in the battle with Lian.
The young man is Kebineng, and now in the entire Xianbei, Kebineng has a high reputation. This prestige is not only because he is brave and good at fighting, enforces the law fairly, and is not greedy for money, but also because he is highly valued by the Xianbei people in the tribe.
More importantly, it is because of Kebineng's unparalleled wisdom and far-sightedness.
In history, Kebineng, after the death of Helian, Xianbei fell apart, turned out, unified the entire Xianbei, and became the Xianbei hero second only to Tanshi Huai.
In the process of unifying Xianbei, Kebineng was intervened by Tian Yu and others many times, so he was resentful. After he unified Xianbei, he began to repeatedly lead troops to invade the borders of Wei, and constantly fought major wars with Wei.
Cao Pi had no choice but to send Tian Yu to recruit and comfort Ke Bineng. As a result, the power of Kebineng became stronger, commanding more than 100,000 people, and the power was overwhelming.
The unified and powerful Xianbei made Wei feel an unprecedented threat. For the eloquent Ke Beng, the Wei State is even more jealous. Later, Youzhou assassinated Shi Wang Xiong and sent assassins to assassinate Kebineng to replace Kebineng's younger brother as king.
Since then, Xianbei has begun to split again.
It can be said that Kebineng is a person of great talent. This time, it was because of his leadership that he was able to gather hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops together and besiege Wolf Juxu Mountain.
Kebineng continued: "Once, the extremely powerful Xiongnu were defeated by Huo Quai, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, and beheaded more than 70,000 people in Wolf Juxu Mountain. This made the Xiongnu decay and gradually became the lackeys of the Han people. ”
"Now, our Xianbei warriors are going to besiege the Han army of 40,000 in the same place. As long as we are here, all these 40,000 troops will be annihilated, then we will be humble and famous all over the world! ”
Hearing Kebineng's words, the rest of the tribal leaders were also excited.
The original Xianbei Khan Tanshi Huai unified the entire Xianbei and defeated 45,000 elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty, which made the Han people chill when they heard about the reputation of Tanshi Huai.
If they wiped out 40,000 Han troops in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, which the Han people were proud of, it would undoubtedly give all the Han people a resounding slap in the face.
At that time, if they went south to plunder, I was afraid that the Han army would flee when they heard the news.
Just when everyone was looking forward to the future, suddenly there was a commotion outside the camp. Several Xianbei tribal leaders turned their heads to look, only to find a messenger covered in blood.
He looked tired, and shouted loudly from afar: "Chief, the tribe has been broken by the Han army, and the entire tribe has been slaughtered!" ”
"Even the women of the tribe and the children who are waiting for the milk, they have not spared it!"
With that, the messenger tilted his head and fell off his horse.
The leader of the Tuoba tribe, hearing the words of the messenger, changed color.
