【Chapter 970】 Kill the wolf, what's the hurry?
Xianbei Court, the Xianbei royal city founded by a generation of Tianjiao Tanshi Huai, the capital of the Xianbei tribes, and the base camp of Xianbei in central China.
After the death of Tanshi Huai, his son Helian ascended the throne. He Lian was greedy and lustful, arrogant, and personally led the iron cavalry to plunder Beidi County in the early peace period, and died under the random arrows. Subsequently, the Xianbei tribes fought for the position of "Xianbei Lord", causing the Xianbei royal court to change hands several times, and the Xianbei people in the central part were tragically poisoned, the tribal power was greatly damaged, and the royal court destroyed the strict zhòng, which was no longer the majestic momentum of the past.
At the time of the internal strife and fighting among the Xianbei tribes, the leader of the small tribe under the rule of the central Xianbei Kebineng sprung up, because of his fairness, strict rewards and punishments, the growing power of the tribe, and his own civil and military skills, won the support of the nobles and leaders of the central Xianbei tribe, and was elected as the "Xianbei Lord".
After that, Kebi was able to win the support of most of the tribes in the central Xianbei, occupied the Xianbei royal court, and became more and more powerful, and then became one of the three major power groups of Xianbei, and fought against the leader of the western Xianbei Budugen and the eastern Xianbei leader Suli. It is said that Kebi Nengping's long-cherished wish is to unify the Xianbei tribes again after Tanshi Huai, and reproduce the glory of Xianbei in the past. It is a pity that at present, the three major forces of Xianbei are not harmonious, there are irreconcilable differences, and the leaders of each department support the army and stand on their own, refusing to obey the orders of the royal court, so that Kebi's long-cherished wish to unify Xianbei has a long way to go and is far away.
Originally, the strength of the Xianbei tribe was far above that of Wuhuan, but the Xianbei tribes that were in disintegration were far inferior to Wuhuan. Although Kebi never considered himself inferior to Bunton, he was in the war against the Han Chinese. But he had to join forces with Wu Huan, but he was in the position of a vassal.
The Battle of Luronse. Bandun and Kebi can send troops together, and agreed to divide Youzhou equally after the matter is completed; If the war goes well, it can also invade the Central Plains and occupy Jizhou and Qingzhou. It was a great opportunity, and Kobi gladly agreed, but when he summoned the chiefs of the tribes to discuss the dispatch of troops, he suffered a serious setback. Regarding the division of Youzhou and Hebei Prefecture, the leaders of each department were naturally enthusiastic and enthusiastic, but when it came to sending troops to fight against the Xiliang Army. The leaders flinched suddenly, and the passion that had just been ignited instantly vanished, and they were silent one by one. Three are silent, lack of interest. In this way, Ke Bineng was helpless, and in desperation, he could only send Que Ji, who was friendly with him, to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to gallop to aid Badun. Finally saved some face.
I don't think about it. The outcome of the decisive battle of Luronse did not go as expected. The Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces were defeated by the 80,000 Han army with the superior strength of 130,000 iron cavalry, most of the soldiers and horses were lost, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were lost, so they returned defeated.
The most infuriating thing is that after the defeat of the Bandun army, he did not return directly to the Wuhuan tribe, but brought tens of thousands of Han army iron horsemen to the territory of the Xianbei people, and went straight to the Xianbei royal court, the base camp of Xianbei in the central part of the country.
After learning the news, Kebineng was furious. I can't wait to break the corpse into pieces. But it had already happened, and even if he was angry, it would not help. So he accepted the defeated Eastern Xianbei chieftains Su Li and Que Ji. However, he expelled the remnants of the Wuhuan army led by Bunton and refused to accept it.
Kebi Neng drove away the remnants of the Wuhuan army led by Bunton in a fit of anger, but the crisis faced by the Xianbei royal court was not resolved, and the tens of thousands of Han army iron cavalry that pursued along the way were still around the royal court. This crisis made Kebi energy anxious, extremely worried, and suffering from gains and losses. He originally planned to take the initiative to attack and defeat the Han army in one fell swoop, but he was worried that he would not be able to defeat the Han army, and the Han army would capture the royal court. After all, Badun led an army of more than 100,000 troops who were defeated by the Han army, and were defeated and fled. In other words, with only the 20,000 or 30,000 Xianbei iron horses in the Xianbei royal court, how could they shake the 30,000 Xiliang iron horses who were pursuing the victory?
It was based on this concern that for three days, Kebi was able to stay put, sending a large number of scouts to monitor the Han army's every move. This is what the Han people say in the art of war that it is better to be still, wait and see what happens, plan and then move. Kebi can be well versed in the Han art of war, and the reason why he can sit on the position of Xianbei Lord in the central part is precisely because he has a strategy, judges the situation, and waits for the opportunity to move. Before finding out the details of the Han army, he would never act rashly, and the way to win was to plan and then move.
????????????????????????
Today is the fourth day of the Han army's cantonment valley. After four days, the Xianbei scouts had clearly inquired about the situation of the Han army and reported it all to Kebineng.
In the Xianbei royal court, in the center of the single tooth tent, Kebi can convene the leaders of the central Xianbei tribes to come to the discussion, and the result has not been discussed for a long time. The reason is not there, it is still an old problem. The leaders of the various tribes were afraid of the great prestige of Li Li of Xiliang, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were frightened, and they were unwilling to be enemies of the Xiliang army under Li Li, hoping to turn the war into a jade silk, otherwise the Xianbei tribe would never have peace.
On this issue, the heads of the various ministries were unanimous in their views and unanimous in their opinions. They believe that Xiliang Li Li's dispatch of troops to Monan this time was not aimed at Xianbei, but was led to the east by the disaster, and deliberately brought the Han army to the territory of Xianbei, trying to use the power of the Xianbei royal court to resist the pursuit of the Han army for him, so that the Wuhuan tribe after the defeat escaped the pursuit of the Han army, so as to safely survive the danger of extermination. And that's just one aspect. On the other hand, it is also the key reason that the grassland tribes are most afraid of, that is, Xiliang Li Li is different from Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Jizhou Yuan Shao.
Although Youzhou Gongsun Zan is brave and brave, he is brave and unstrategic, lacks strategic vision, has no grand ambitions, and belongs to a typical princely force that is small and rich. Although there were tens of thousands of iron horsemen under his command, there were no capable generals who could fight well, so the barbarian tribe was not afraid of him, but tried to get rid of Gongsun Chan as soon as possible.
Yuan Shao of Jizhou is far away from the grassland tribes, and there is Gongsun Zan in the middle, and the Jizhou army is mostly an infantry army, which does not pose much threat to the barbarian cavalry, and it is based on cooperation between the two sides. Even if the two sides turn against each other in the future, the barbarian tribes are not afraid of Yuan Shao, because after the Jizhou infantry army leaves the customs, there is no way to resist the barbarian cavalry.
However, compared with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the prince feared by the barbarian leaders the most was Xiliang Li Li. In other words, they are afraid of Li Li's Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It is almost terrifying. Nowadays, who doesn't know that Xiliang Li Li has no less than 200,000 iron horsemen under his command, which is a huge and terrifying number. Perhaps the princes of the Central Plains still don't have a deep understanding of this. That's because they have the advantage of the city, and they are confident that with their strong city, they can resist the powerful attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. But for the grassland tribes, the Xiliang Iron Horse is the deepest hidden fear in their hearts, endless nightmares, haunting their hearts, lingering nightmares.
The steppe tribes did not have the fortified cities of the Han Chinese, nor did they have sophisticated and sufficient armor and weapons. There is no inexhaustible feather arrow. Their greatest strength is the strong bow and horse, and what they are best at is the speed of attack like a wind and the ferocity and viciousness of a hungry wolf. But these advantages are unmatched. It is not a problem for the brave and warlike Xiliang Iron Cavalry, because these are precisely the strengths of the Xiliang Army, and they also have divine weapons that the barbarian cavalry does not have. As for combat effectiveness, the Xiliang Army has always been the backbone of resisting the barbarian invasion. It has been the same for hundreds or even millennia. From ancient times to the present day, there are no exceptions. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is undoubted, and it is a fierce iron army that has experienced countless baptisms of war.
Therefore, with the growing strength of the Xiliang army and the destruction of the surrounding tribes of Xiliang, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has become the deepest fear in the hearts of the leaders of the barbarian tribes and the clansmen. And Xiliang Li Li's always strong and domineering and iron-blooded style of doing things has invisibly deepened the fear of the barbarian tribe against the Xiliang army, making it extremely awe of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Unless they had to do so, they didn't dare to touch Xiliang Li Li's tiger whiskers. Don't dare to touch its edge. Especially sitting in this tooth tent, the leaders felt more deeply, because the master here, He Lian, died in the hands of the Xiliang army, and died with arrows piercing his heart, and that scene is still vivid in his eyes and fresh in his memory.
After discussing for a long time, no agreement could be reached, and Kebi Neng was extremely irritable, so he dismissed everyone, and the matter of sending troops could only be put on hold again, and it could be discussed later. After the leaders of the various tribes left one after another, Kobineng ordered someone to summon the eastern chieftain Su Li and Que Ji, who had returned from the defeat, and asked them what they thought of the situation in front of them. Listening to both sides is clear and partial, and knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, this is the knowledge that Kebi can learn from the Han people's calligraphy, and now he has used it very skillfully.
In the tooth tent, the attendants neatly withdrew the feast and re-served three large pots of cooked meat and milk wine, and then Kebineng waved back.
At this moment, there are only three of them in the tent, Ke Bineng is not only the lord of the royal court, but also the Xianbei Lord jointly elected by the leaders of various departments, while Su Li and Que Ji, who escaped with their lives, are now under the fence, and the disparity in status is incomparable. However, Kebineng was very familiar with the two of them, and did not regard them as the generals of the defeated army, but treated each other politely and on an equal footing, without the slightest contempt.
This made Su Li and Que Ji quite moved, and thanked them again and again, and said that they would be grateful again and again when they returned to the tribe, and they were willing to listen to Kebineng's dispatch in the future. As for the sincerity of these words and whether they are credible, no one else knows except for their own hearts.
After three bowls of wine, Kebineng, who had a rough face but a thoughtful face, complained helplessly: "This time, my Xianbei royal court was really ruined. This guy has never been in his eyes, arrogant, and led more than 100,000 iron cavalry to defeat tens of thousands of Han troops, and he was defeated so badly. But he was defeated when he was defeated, and on the way to escape, he led the Han army to my Xianbei royal court, in a vain attempt to use my Xianbei power to resist the pursuit of the Han army for him. At present, he led the remnants of the army away, but he trapped my royal court in danger, ignoring the life and death of more than 100,000 of my people; Such insidious methods are really ill-intentioned and vicious! The more Kebineng spoke, the more angry he became, his thick eyebrows furrowed, the cold light flashed in his eagle-like pupils, and his face was hideous.
In addition to his anger, Kebineng's tone changed sharply, and he said to Su Li and Que Ji gently: "What is the current situation, I guess the two leaders have also heard about it, I wonder if the two of them can have a good way to deal with it?" ”
Su Li had already expected Kebi to ask this question, and he was already prepared in his heart, and after hearing this, he said without thinking: "The Xiliang army is brave and strong, if you are not ten percent sure, the last general Jian yì is not suitable for war with the Han army, you can send an envoy to negotiate peace with it, explain the reason, and show sincerity." As long as they don't do anything to my Xianbei tribe, everything is easy to discuss, and we can take advantage of the Han army and let it bypass the royal court and continue to pursue the remnants of the Wuhuan army. I don't know what the 'adult' thinks? ”
If Kebi had asked for a countermeasure three days ago, Su Li would have taken the initiative to send troops, strike first, and strive to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop. But now that three days have passed, Kebineng is still standing still, which in itself says a lot. On the surface, it seems that the leaders of the various departments have different opinions, but in fact, Kebineng is afraid of the Xiliang army himself, and he does not plan to meet the Han army at all, but it is inconvenient to express his position directly because of his face. After all, the Han army has already hit the edge of the royal court, if Kebi can openly express his stance to avoid fighting, the Han army will not attack the royal court, if it is a wave of the army to attack, then Kebi can not be majestic and lose face?
And this qiē was seen by Su Li, so his answer was very straightforward, and he directly said Kebineng's thoughts. This is the consciousness that the person under the fence should have, Kebi can treat him politely, he should reciprocate, this can be regarded as a peach in return.
Everything that should be said was said, Su Li didn't say anything more, Gu Zi ate meat and drank at the same time, and feasted on it. Que Ji, who was sitting next to him, saw Kebineng's gaze turn to him, and immediately echoed: "What the leader of Suli said coincides with me. The Han army is fierce and should not be underestimated, if there is no certainty of victory, it is better not to provoke lightly, otherwise?????? Hehehe, please let the 'adult' decide! He smiled and hid what Que Ji wanted to say. But his meaning is already very clear, it is nothing more than a repetition of the mistakes of the past or a depressing remark such as stepping into the footsteps of the past, worried that Kebi can not like it, so he is vague.
Seeing that Su Li and Que Ji were actually in the same tone, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous, Kebineng grinned and said, "It is a good way to send an envoy to negotiate peace." Thinking about it, the two leaders have already seen that at present, the leaders of all departments are unwilling to provoke a war, and if they can surrender their troops without a fight, it is undoubtedly the best policy. It's just that?????? The choice of this messenger is quite a matter of thought. The two of you should know that my generals are all vulgar people, and the battlefield battle is acceptable, but this envoy is not what they are good at, and they are clumsy in their speech, and they really can't be on the table. If there is no suitable candidate, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to convince the generals of the Han army, but I will also make mistakes.
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 two people! 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 voice, they held a dagger to cut meat in their left hand 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 drawn out its troops and is coming straight to the royal court??????
