Chapter 0711: Northern Beacon Smoke

There is no pattern to the disinformation, and each one is contradictory, such as the letter that was discovered, which contained an order that Cao Ren had dreamed of, telling him to judge the situation and decide on his own. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ren would probably be very grateful for this order before the Battle of Shishui, but not now, because he knew that it was a false order. So, as soon as he read the letter, his thoughts only became more confused.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Perhaps, he will find someone to discuss and try to brainstorm ideas......"

"No, no!" Gao Shun shook his head and said, "The more people, the more opinions, the information in the false information is already very chaotic, under the brainstorming, only more chaotic, more people will be smart, think they have seen something, and stick to their own opinions." When the time comes, it will become that everything is possible, and in the end nothing can be done. ”

Dian Wei is so honest and honest, he is already dumbfounded, what do the eyes of the lord and the military advisor look like? is such a little trick, how can you play a famous general like Cao Ren around?

After thinking about it, he interjected and asked, "So, next, fake information will continue to be sent in?" ”

"Of course, anyway, there are a lot of prisoners, and their temperaments are different, it is impossible for everyone to be a soft egg, and it is impossible for everyone to care about the future of their families and grit their teeth, maybe, some people will think that the situation of our army is very good, and they are ready to cooperate fully." Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and said with a wicked smile, "In the end, Cao Ren will not be able to tell which one is the real messenger and which one is the fake. ”

Gao Shun and the others imagined that scene, and suddenly felt some sympathy for the enemy general, the new tactics of the lord, coupled with the bad ideas of the military advisor, the other party's situation was not ordinary and pitiful.

What if you are restless by false information, and the messengers who come in are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so you don't have to torture to extract confessions?

However, Cao Ren was not wronged, in order to deal with him, the lord specially summoned Taifu and Zhuge Junshi from Jicheng, and asked Taifu, a calligraphy master, to forge handwriting, and Zhuge Junshi imitated Cao Cao's tone to forge orders. With such a big battle, Cao Ren doesn't admit it, what can he do?

Dian Wei was nervous and didn't have the heart to understand Cao Ren, he only cared about the evolution of the battle situation, and asked, "But, military advisor, do you know how Cao Ren will choose in the end?" The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, let alone someone like Cao Ren? ”

"Well...... this" Zhuge Liang groaned slightly, the purpose of this intelligence war was to disrupt Cao Ren's thinking and make the other party lose the ability to judge calmly. After success, Cao Ren will lose his normal mind and make decisions that he can't even think of, but what that decision is, he can't control.

No matter how good he is at reading people's hearts, Zhuge Liang can't judge how a mentally abnormal madman will think about problems, and what he is doing now is to drive Cao Ren crazy.

Li Yi waved his hand, stopped the topic of intelligence warfare, and said: "It doesn't matter, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he can't make a timely judgment, that's enough." Speaking of which, the big war is imminent, and this unnecessary battle can be avoided, and our army has also avoided unnecessary casualties, so why not? ”

All the generals had a relaxed smile on their faces.

Although it was an emergency rush, it was indeed surprising that the main forces of Hebei and Qingzhou joined forces that day and failed to completely defeat Cao Ren. It is not strong to fight a good battle, and only by winning in adversity can you see the true ability, and Cao Ren's ability to use soldiers was fully revealed in that battle.

If Cao Ren goes out of the city for a decisive battle, the Northern Xinjiang Army should be able to win, but the casualties will definitely not be less, and it will definitely be unfavorable to the imminent Central Plains War.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves outside the tent of the Chinese army, and when I heard the sound, the riders actually rushed straight to the vicinity ......of the Chinese army before dismounting.

Li Yi is usually casual, but he governs the army strictly, and there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the situation is urgent!

Soon, the voice of the guards sounded outside the tent door: "Lord Qi, the general of Zhengbei sent an envoy to report, the situation is extremely urgent, so ......"

"Biography!" Li Yi stopped drinking.

"Whoa."

……………………

Li Yi soon met the messenger sent by Zhao Yun. It turned out that it was the Ding Ling people, the Jiankun people, the Jin Wei people, the Hujie people and the Huns of the Western Regions who jointly sent troops to attack the Beiting Protectorate.

The Ding Ling people are an ethnic group living in the north, and during the Qin and Han dynasties, they were nomadic in the Beihai Sea (around Lake Baikal). Around 200 BC, it was conquered by the Xiongnu. Ding Ling and several other ethnic groups were unable to bear the captivity and brutal oppression of the Xiongnu, and once united against the Xiongnu. In the winter of the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty (72 BC), Ding Ling, Wuhuan, and Wusun attacked the Xiongnu and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu. Around the first year of Shenjue (61 BC), Ding Ling attacked the Xiongnu several times.

After the middle of the 1st century AD, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, the north and the south, and their power was declining day by day. In the second year of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (85 AD), Ding Ling, Xianbei and various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, together with the Southern Xiongnu, defeated the Northern Xiongnu and forced the Northern Xiongnu to move westward.

And with the rise of the Xianbei people, Ding Ling people surrendered to the Xianbei people.

Ten years ago, the Xianbei people were defeated by Li Yi, and Ding Ling people took the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Xianbei people, plus Li Yi turned his attention to the Central Plains and did not continue to expand to the north of the prairie, and the Ding Ling people achieved independent status.

Today, the Ding Ling people control the area from Lake Baikal to the Altai Mountains and Tacheng, bordering Wusun and Cheshi in the south and Kangju in the southwest. With a total population of about 500,000 and an army of 100,000, it is the most powerful clan in the prairie today.

The Jiankun people are also another powerful ethnic group in the steppes today. He lived in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in the present-day West Siberian Plain and engaged in animal husbandry, agriculture and hunting.

In the Han Dynasty, the pastureland of Jiankun was quite vast, and it already occupied a very vast grassland in the Yenisei River Valley. The Book of Han contains "Jiankun goes to Shan Yuting for 7,000 miles in the east, and Cheshi goes to Cheshi for 5,000 miles in the south", with Ding Ling as a neighbor in the east, Wusun and Saichong in the west, and Xiongnu in the south. According to the records of the time, Jiankun was a tribe living in the northernmost part of the desert.

The Xiongnu Maodun Shan conquered many surrounding peoples, and Jiankun was also among those conquered. Together with Ding Ling, Wu Huan, and Wu Sun, Jiankun actively fought against the rule of the Xiongnu aristocracy. After the Han Dynasty surrendered Li Ling to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Shan Yu made him the right school king (or right xian king), governing Jiankun and other regions. Li Ling of the Han Dynasty served as the king of Youxian in the Jiankun region for a long time, and his descendants were integrated into the Jiankun people, and the descendants of the Han king Zhaojun were also integrated into the Jiankun people.

In 49 B.C., the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shan went west to conquer, defeated Wusun, annexed Wujie, Jiankun, and Ding Ling, and stayed in Jiankun, so Jiankun fell under the direct rule of Xiongnu Shan Yu. Xianbei, which succeeded the Xiongnu, also ruled Jiankun and other regions at its peak.

Like the Ding Ling people, after Xianbei was defeated by Li Yi, the Jiankun people also took the opportunity to gain independent status, and now the total population is about 200,000, with an army of 50,000, which is the strongest clan in the prairie second only to the Ding Ling people.

The other Jinwei people and Hujie people are all small ethnic groups, with a population of less than 100,000. As for the last Xiongnu in the Western Regions, they are the descendants of the Northern Xiongnu who were forced to move westward, with a total population of about 100,000.

In the past ten years, although these alien races have not surrendered to Li Yi, they have no intention of going south, but they don't know why they are now going crazy and jointly sending troops to attack the Beiting Protectorate.

According to Zhao Yun's report, the total number of allied troops of the five races was as high as 150,000, which was almost six percent of the total number of the five alien armies.

Today, the army left in the desert in Hebei has only one cavalry standing corps and two cavalry garrison corps, with a total strength of only 54,000. Zhao Yun was worried about the lack of troops, so he asked for help from the Jicheng Imperial Court through the flying pigeon. After the Jicheng court got the news, it didn't dare to call the shots and reported to Li Yi.

Hearing the news, Li Yi was shocked. He didn't expect that a few ethnic minorities would dare to touch his tiger whiskers.

Li Yi suspected that this was likely Cao Cao and Yuan Shao playing tricks.

However, at this moment, Li Yi had to temporarily abandon the Taishan battlefield and reinforce the desert.

Today, Hebei simply cannot afford the results of multiple battlefields.

Soon, Li Yi informed Zang Ba, Yin Li, Wu Dun and others of the news, and told him his decision to withdraw his troops. As for how the war will develop in the future, they can only rely on themselves.

However, Cao Cao has been severely injured by Li Yi again, and Zang Ba and others have regained some strength during this time, so not to mention keeping Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom, at least keeping Qingzhou should not be much of a problem. After all, now that Liu Bei has been pinned down by Yuan Shu, they only need to withstand Cao Cao, who has suffered heavy losses.

………………

In mid-July, the desert, Dragon City.

Half a month ago, the general Li Yi rushed to Longcheng with six thousand personal guards and iron cavalry. The chiefs of the Xianbei tribes came to meet Li Yi one after another.

Su Li, the former Xianbei Lord in the east, has not seen Li Yi since the Battle of Wolf Juxu Mountain that year. The two were very happy to see each other again. Talking about the past, Li Hong and Su Li were very emotional. Nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is also a matter of fact.

Su Liduo drank a few glasses of Han Jun's spirits, his chubby face was flushed, and his tone of voice began to be a little arrogant. He came to Li Yi's side, waved his fat big hand and said: "Xianbei is defeated, you have become the overlord of the desert, and the tribes in the desert obey you, but ......"

He shrugged his thick, dark eyebrows, and said in a provocative tone: "You, like everyone else, have old days and times when you are powerless. Do you feel like you're getting old and losing control of the desert today? ”

Li Yi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the little white hair between Su Li's temples, shook his head, and said, "As long as I live, the desert is mine." ”

"What if you die?"

"The desert is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Han people will stick to their territory for generations, and no one can take it away." Li Yi flicked the wine stains on his hand, and said indifferently, "Tanshi Huai is dead, Kebineng is also dead, and I will die in the near future, in this world, no one can dominate the desert forever." ”

"The desert is our Xianbei people, and we will definitely take it back." Sully's eyes widened and she yelled.

"If your war knife is sharp enough, you can take the desert, but is your war knife sharp now?" Li Yi asked slowly.

The muscles on Su Li's face twitched violently, and his eyes were full of murder. (To be continued.) )
