"The most troublesome thing is that none of them have seen Xiliang Li Li, and Li Li can't recognize them. So、、、 hehehe, you still need the help of the two! Looking at Su Li and Que Ji at the bottom of the stairs with a smile, Kebi Neng finally showed his fox tail, it turned out that he was waiting here for Su Li and Que Ji to take the bait.

The moment Su Li and Que Ji heard the sound, both of them were holding a dagger in their left hand to cut meat, and a small piece of cooked meat in their right hand, imprisoned in mid-air, Huo Ran looked up at Kebineng who was smiling, his expression was sluggish, and he was stunned.

When the atmosphere in the tent was almost stagnant, a personal soldier hurriedly rushed into the big tent and said urgently: "The Han army has opened up, and it is coming towards the royal court??????

"Huh? So fast! Without waiting for the soldiers to finish speaking, Kebineng groaned, suddenly got up and walked to the door of the tent, raising his eyes to look in the direction of the mountains and forests to the east. I saw a dusty scene, the heavy rain three days ago did not completely imprison the sand, and now tens of thousands of iron horsemen set off again, still full of yellow sand. Not only that, Kebineng faintly heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and his feet shook slightly, all of which showed that the Han army was not far from the royal court.

"It's time to come after all!" Seeing such a scene, Kebineng couldn't help but sigh softly. Then he turned abruptly and walked into the big tent, and ordered his own soldiers: "Order all troops and horses to defend the city, no one is allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle without my order, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"No!" The soldiers were ordered to leave, and Su Li and Que Ji, who were sitting in the hall at the moment, also came to their senses, got up and walked to Kebineng's side. put on a humble appearance that is at your disposal, but in fact, you are secretly having fun in your heart. Fortunately, the Han army took the initiative to attack, otherwise the two of them would most likely be sent to the Han army camp by Kebineng to act as lobbyists. If that's the case. That's a lot of bad luck. The reason why the Han army appeared here was to chase and kill them, and if they took the initiative to send them to the door, the result can be imagined. That's how suicide came about.

Perhaps sensing the change in the mood of Su Li and Que Ji, Ke Bineng, who originally looked solemn, suddenly softened his face and appeared with a faint smile. But this smiling face fell in the eyes of Su Li and the others, but it was particularly eerie and terrifying. For no reason, the two of them trembled, their faces turned pale, and two uneasy hearts instantly rose to their throats. Squinted nervously at Kebineng, but didn't dare to ask.

Seeing the difference in their expressions, Kobi was able to reach out and take their shoulders and sit down in the hall, sitting side by side with them affectionately. and poured milk wine for the two of them with his own hands. Then he raised his lamp and motioned for the two to drink together. After drinking, he said with a smile: "The two leaders don't need to be nervous, no matter how brave the Han army is, it is absolutely impossible to break through the royal court for a while." It has been a hundred years since the completion of my Xianbei Royal Court, and it has never been broken by the Han people during this period, and this time is no exception! When he said this, the look on his face was quite proud, and his eyes were sharp and determined, which invisibly gave people strength.

There was a pause in his tone. Seeing that Su Li and Que Ji's expressions eased slightly, Kebineng continued: "I originally thought that the Han army would pursue hundreds of miles in a few days. As long as it is determined that the Han army is short of food and grass or has run out of food, I will lead the royal court soldiers and horses to pour out of the nest and annihilate it in one fell swoop. It's a pity that, according to the scout's report, the Han army has been cooking meat in a cauldron every day in the mountains and forests in the past few days, and the aroma is overflowing, and the delicious fragrance can be smelled more than ten miles away. It can be seen that the Han army did not run out of food, and after the defeat of the fool, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were lost to the Han army. In this way, the Han army has sufficient food and grass, and there are many soldiers and horses, which is by no means something that the 30,000 soldiers and horses of my Xianbei royal court can resist. ”

Speaking of this, Kebineng paused, looked at Su Li and the two with a sincere face, and said with a smile: "Now that the Han army has walked out of the mountains and is about to come to the city, my Xianbei royal court is in danger. Therefore, I have to bother the two of you to go to Hanying for a trip, and you must reach a peace ??????"

"Ahh When Su Li and Que Ji heard this, they were shocked, and their bodies trembled incessantly. Su Li's teeth trembled and pleaded: "The Han army has already come over, why does the 'lord' still want me and the two of us to send an envoy to the Han camp?" I beg your Excellency to let me two go, and from now on, the two of us will only be 'alone' at the head of the horse, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will be dispatched! Su Li's voice did not fall, Que Ji also fell to the ground and begged for mercy, and his words were the same as Su Li's.

However, at this time, Kebineng was unmoved, looking at the two of them with a smile, and said to himself: "It is precisely because the Han army has taken the initiative to attack, so it is even more necessary for the two of you to go and persuade Li Li to stop the army and make peace." As long as the Han army is willing to retreat or turn the spearhead and continue to pursue the remnants of the Wuhuan army, my Kebineng tribe is willing to rely on Li Li, guard the pass for him, and send troops to exterminate the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and then lead the Wuhuan tribes to submit to the Han Dynasty. This is our request and the condition. If Li Li can agree, the two sides will sign a contract outside the city; If he doesn't agree, then even if he comes to attack, I can swear to live and die with the royal court until the last breath! ”

After finishing speaking, Ke Bineng ignored the begging eyes of Su Li and Que Ji, and said undoubtedly: "You two prepare quickly, and I will send you to the Han camp in an open and honest manner, I believe that Li Li will not embarrass you." This matter is settled, let's go change your clothes! With that, Kobi got up and straightened his clothes, and then strode into the inner room of the tent.

????????????????????????

"Dingding??????dingding" When night fell, accompanied by the crisp and loud sound of gold, the Xiliang army, which had stormed the Xianbei royal court, quickly and orderly withdrew from the battle, slowly left the city wall, and returned to the Han army camp ten miles away.

After a whole afternoon of storming the city, the Xiliang army climbed to the head of the city five times and fought hand-to-hand with the Xianbei barbarians, but was stubbornly blocked by the barbarians, and was repeatedly forced to retreat, and finally lost the battle, and failed to capture the Xianbei royal court in one go. And paid a lot of casualties for this, killing more than 2,000 infantry soldiers and wounding more than 1,000 soldiers. (Seriously wounded are usually counted as killed in battle, and medical conditions are limited in this era, and it is generally difficult to get timely treatment after serious injuries, and most of them die in pain and life.) ）

However, the Xianbei barbarians did not take advantage, even if they had the advantage of the city. They still paid almost the same casualties as the Han army, with nearly 4,000 dead and wounded. This is because although the Xianbei Royal Court is a strong city in the eyes of the Xianbei people, it is actually only a medium-sized city with a height of two zhang and a thickness of one zhang. And there is no moat, and the defense measures are extremely rough, which is far less tightly defended than the Dahan Fortress. Because of this, the siege battle was extremely tragic, and there were as many as five battles at the head of the city alone, and the huge casualties of the Han army also came from this.

It is worth mentioning that the Han army came from afar. The siege armaments were not complete, and this first round of siege was originally just a feint, purely a tentative attack. I don't think about it. After the attack began, the Han army saw that the Xianbei people's defense was lax, so they fought and pretended to do it, trying to capture the city in one go. This turned a tentative feint into a real siege. This in turn resulted in heavy casualties.

As night fell, at the gate of the Han army camp ten miles east of the Xianbei Royal Court, the infantry troops who participated in the siege returned to the camp one after another. And Yan Rou and Qi Er, who were ordered to command the siege operation, rushed to the Chinese army commander's tent as soon as possible and pleaded guilty to the commander Li Li.

That's right, Li Li was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time, and Yan Rou was the general of the infantry army who accompanied him. Last night, Li Li led an army of 40,000 infantry to join the front army led by Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, and after resting for the night, the army set out. In the afternoon, he launched a strong attack on the Xianbei royal court. When Yan Rou and Qi were ordered to forcibly attack the city with 10,000 infantry troops, Li Li led the army to follow. And set up camp ten miles away from the east gate of the Xianbei royal court.

In fact, if it weren't for the 30,000 iron cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun who were eager to fight and had a shortage of food and grass, they would have been able to avoid the Xianbei royal court and pass through the mountains and forests in the east without alarming the Xianbei people, and then march eastward to smash Liucheng, the old nest of Wuhuan. As everyone knows, it is precisely because they are eager to kill the enemy, and they marched in the rain for days, almost without thinking, they followed the defeated army of Badun all the way over, and unknowingly were led around a big circle by Badun, and also alarmed the central Xianbei located in the west. Coincidentally, the position where the Han army appeared was less than 100 miles away from the Xianbei Royal Court, which happened to be directly behind the Royal Court, which invisibly posed a huge threat to the Xianbei Royal Court. The most desperate thing is that the Han army is still stationed in the mountains and forests and does not leave, which is equivalent to telling the Xianbei people unmistakably: We are here to attack the city, and you can't escape.

The combination of many fortuitous factors is inevitable, which directly triggered this unexpected violent conflict. After Li Li's army arrived, he learned about the current situation in detail and then brazenly decided to start a war against Xianbei in central China. It's better to meet than to meet by chance, since the Xianbei royal court is right in front of you, how can you miss it lightly? In this way, a siege battle came into being, which opened the prelude to the war of the Xiliang army against the two barbarian tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei at the same time.

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Li Li, who was in a high position, did not blame Yan Rou and Qi Erren too much, nor did he punish them. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the feint attack turned into a strong attack, which was not a command mistake of the two of them, but the shape of the battlefield itself. Seeing that the Xianbei people were not good at defending the city, the soldiers of the Han army easily climbed to the top of the city, so could they take the initiative to retreat? Therefore, the heavy casualties caused by the defeat of this siege were not the fault of the battle, but the force of the form, and it had to be so.

Waving his hand to signal Yan Rou and Qi Erren to get up and sit down, Li Li smiled and said to everyone under the tent: "This march can be described as a complete and north-south march!" The original intention of our army to take the initiative was to pursue the remnants of Wuhuan led by Bunton, and the army should have marched eastward, smashing the old nest of Wuhuan, but I didn't expect to be played by Bunton, but chased to the west, and broke into the territory of Xianbei in the middle of the country in ignorance, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Xianbei royal court. This can be regarded as a crooked fight, anyway, Xianbei and Wuhuan are our enemies, since they have met, they will simply be solved together. Hehehe! ”

After hearing the words, everyone under the tent suddenly felt interesting, so they laughed loudly, which virtually resolved the slightly tense atmosphere in the tent, and also eliminated the fatigue and anxiety of the generals who marched for days.

After laughing, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting at the top of the tent, laughed loudly: "What the lord said is very true. We originally planned to get rid of Wuhuan first, and then move our army north, march to Monan, and attack the Xianbei tribes on both sides with the Western Route army led by General Zhang Liao, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop, or expel them to Mobei, thousands of miles away. In this way, the counties of Youzhou can be stable for a long time, and they do not have to worry about the barbarian attack within ten years, and wait until the counties of Youzhou recover their vitality, and then organize the army to fight, go east to Fuyu and Goguryeo, and attack Ding Ling in the north. Strive to include the vast prairie from Liaodong in the east, Dunhuang in the west, and Dingling in the north into the territory of the Han Dynasty within ten years, so that the achievements can shine in the annals of history and benefit all generations! In just a few words, Zhuge Liang drew out a big cake, and the generals in the hall were excited and enthusiastic.

Li Li smiled lightly when he heard this: "It is very good for Kong Ming to have such grand ambitions, but many things are easier said than done, and this is the case with the matter of unifying the grassland." There is a long way to go, and our generation still needs to work hard and work hard. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's tone paused, the smile on his face receded, and he turned to look at the generals under the hall with a calm expression, and said softly: "Half an hour ago, Kebineng sent an envoy to ask for peace, willing to sign an alliance with my Xiliang army, and made it clear that he was willing to attach himself to me. I wonder what you think about this? ”
