Chapter 699: The Uninvited Guest (4)
Forty-three Bailing people were arrested at once, and there were men and women, old and young, Fu Gongyan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the interrogation made Fu Gongyan even happier, it turned out that this was a group of people who lost the struggle for power in the Bailing Clan and were driven out of the Bailing Clan's station. The enemy of the enemy is his friend, so this group of Bailing people can be used by themselves.
Of course, Fu Gongyan didn't dare to believe the confession of the Bailing people lightly, so he interrogated the Bailing people separately, and asked for many details, and then checked them one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that what this group of Bailing people said was basically true. So Fu Gongyan immediately proposed to Feng Yi and Yun Qi that they help him and the Xiongnu army to attack the Bailing Clan's garrison and kill the plateau, and promised that after success, Feng Yi could be supported as the Great Blessing Master of the Bailing Clan.
For Feng Yi and others, this is undoubtedly a pie in the sky good thing, originally after being caught by the Hun army, Feng Yi and others have accepted their fate, after all, he has served as the master of the Bai Ling clan for many years, of course, he has heard of the cruelty and ferocity of the Huns, so it fell into the hands of the Huns, although Feng Yi can not be said to be completely desperate, but the biggest expectation is only to consider, how to use the special abilities of the Bai Ling people, at least to save their own lives, other things, such as using the power of the Huns to avenge themselves, Feng Yi did not dare to think about it.
But Feng Yi didn't expect that he would not only be able to survive, but also be able to avenge himself with the help of the power of the Huns, and hope to become the great master of the Bailing clan again. Happiness came so suddenly, Feng Yi had an unreal feeling, and even wondered if he was dreaming. After a long while, Feng Yi calmed down, and immediately agreed to Fu Gongyan's conditions.
In fact, Feng Yi thought that he was dreaming, and Fu Gongyan did not doubt that he was in a dream, because this trip to the grassland was really going too smoothly, at the beginning he helped Mao Dun to become a Xiongnu Shan Yu, and got the full support of the Xiongnu, and now he actually got the help of this group of Bailing people, the simple value is that God helps himself succeed, in this way, he can not only kill the plateau in the grassland and ambush the Xiongnu, but even the Bailing tribe can also be used for his own use, and he is not only a great contribution to the Jiuli tribe, At the same time, the strength of oneself will also be greatly increased.
In contrast, after Han Teng left the clan, he worked hard for nearly ten years and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources in the clan, and the little achievements he achieved were not at all. Therefore, as long as this series of major events has been completed, his status in the clan can completely overwhelm Han Teng, including Lu Xiuhong, Sang Qinghong and other young powerhouses, and become the chief son of the younger generation of the Jiuli clan, and the future is even more limitless.
Then Fu Gongyan immediately began to seriously plan the attack on the Bai Ling Clan, and it was naturally easy to do things with acquaintances, not to mention that Feng Yi and Yun Qi had been Zhu Shi in the clan for more than 30 years, so it can be said that they knew the situation of the Bai Ling Clan well, and under the temptation of becoming a great Zhu Shi again, Feng Yi and Yun Qi also did their best to tell Fu Gongyan about the situation of the Bai Ling Clan.
The valley of the Bailing tribe is about 1,500 miles away from the Xiongnu royal court, for the Xiongnu cavalry, this distance is not too far, but winter is not a good time to send a large army, in addition, the valley is the territory of the Bailing tribe after all, the Bailing tribe is familiar with the terrain, and is good at training beasts, and it is not conducive to large-scale cavalry combat, and the plateau is proficient in the art of war, and the gods of war are nowhere to be seen, and Fu Gongyan does not dare to despise it, so it is obviously not a good way to attack the station of the Bailing tribe and fight the Bailing people commanded by the plateau in the valley.
It is best to wait for the end of the harsh winter, and after the plateau leads the Bailing people out of the valley and into the prairie, and then dispatches a large army to attack the Bailing people and horses halfway, because the Bailing tribe carries a large number of old, weak, women and children, which will become a drag on Yan zhòng, and it is also conducive to giving full play to the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu army. According to different situations, he can adopt different tactics, which can not only use a small number of men and horses to constantly attack, so that the Bailing clan's brigade is exhausted, if he seizes the fighter, he can concentrate the army and launch a comprehensive attack on the Bailing clan, which can naturally advance or retreat, and is almost invincible.
And the new Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun listened to Fu Gongyan's plan, and also agreed, because he did not advocate sending troops in winter, the climate at this time is indeed not conducive to the battle of the army, sometimes a big snowstorm, enough to freeze a large number of soldiers, horses, livestock, at the same time in the grassland can not find any prey, to the Hun army logistics supply caused great difficulties. In addition, he killed his predecessor Shan Yu to seize the throne, the time was not long, and not all the Xiongnu nobles were convinced, if the troops were sent in winter, the losses of the Xiongnu army would be too large, and it was not conducive to their own stability in the position.
If you wait until after the spring flowers bloom before sending troops, although the horses are thin at the beginning of spring, they are much better than sending troops in winter. And judging from Fu Gongyan's plan, attacking the Bailing clan halfway is obviously much more likely to win, so taking the opportunity to fight a big victory, plundering some materials and slaves, and increasing wealth for the Xiongnu is also conducive to stabilizing his position.
So after deciding on the idea of tactics, Fu Gongyan and Mao Dun also immediately began to arrange, on the one hand, they recruited people and horses, and on the other hand, they also sent a large number of spies to strengthen the monitoring of the Bai Ling clan, and at the same time, Fu Gongyan also obeyed Feng Yi's Jian, and did not allow the Xiongnu army to enter the valley of the Bai Ling clan, and it was best not to get close to the valley for fifty miles, because the Bai Ling clan is good at training beasts and can use birds to reconnoitre, so as not to startle the grass and snakes, so that the Bai Ling people can take precautions in advance.
In addition, Feng Yi and others also controlled a group of flying birds to help the Xiongnu army reconnoiter and detect. Originally, Feng Yi wanted to control a group of fierce beasts and help the Hun army fight, but Fu Gongyan considered that there were only forty-three people in this group of Bailing people, and there were only thirty-five men, so how many fierce beasts could be controlled, compared with the brigade of the Bailing tribe, it was not enough to see at all, it was better to control some flying birds and strengthen the reconnaissance ability of the Xiongnu army, but the effect was much greater.
In fact, after leading the Bailing tribe's brigade out of the valley on the plateau, they were discovered by the Xiongnu scouts and reported back to Fu Gongyan and Mao Dun, just because the Huns were well hidden, and although the army sent a lot of peripheral scouts, there was no clear goal after all, and therefore the Huns were not found.
At this time, Mao Dun had gathered more than 100,000 Xiongnu troops, and after receiving the reward of the visit, Mao Dun immediately ordered to dispatch a large army to attack the Bailing tribe halfway.
Although the population of the Xiongnu at this time is not large, only more than one million, but the Xiongnu is the implementation of the system of all soldiers, in addition to the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, even women can also cavalry to fight, so it is not difficult to gather two or three hundred thousand horses, but after all, Mao Dun has just served as Shan Yu, and it is also to kill the predecessor Shan Yu, and seize the position of Shan Yu, there are many nobles in the Xiongnu tribe who are not subject to the rule of Mao Dun, and spring is not the right season to send troops to fight, so many Xiongnu nobles refuse to send men and horses, With the Maudun campaign, although some nobles sent men and horses, the number was not large, and they were just perfunctory.
However, Mao Dun also knew that his prestige among the Huns was not enough, and it was difficult to mobilize these Hun magnates, and he was able to recruit more than 100,000 people, which was very good, and the population of the Bailing clan was only 80,000, except for the old and young, women and children, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 people who could fight, so it was completely enough to deal with the Bailing clan.
But now the Bailing tribe's brigade is on the move, so it is not easy to accurately grasp the whereabouts of the Bailing tribe's brigade, the Huns' exploration must be close to the Bailing tribe's brigade, in this way, the probability of being discovered by the army scouts has greatly increased, this time the two sides have a small-scale engagement, which is the reason.
Whether it is Fu Gongyan, Mao Dun, or Feng Yi and others, they are full of confidence in this operation, but after Shui Xinyue learned the details, she was worried. Originally, Shui Xinyue was not optimistic about Fu Gongyan and the Xiongnu army, firstly, because her understanding of the plateau's ability to use troops was much deeper than that of Fu Gongyan, after all, Fu Gongyan's understanding of the plateau's ability to use troops was mainly perceptual, lacking intuitive understanding; The second is the special ability of the White Spirit Clan. The combination of the two made Shui Xinyue think that Fu Gongyan's chances of winning were not great.
But the addition of Feng Yi and Yun Qi made Shui Xinyue worry again, although the strength of this group of people is not very good, but it is better to understand the Bai Ling clan, so with the addition of this group of Bai Ling people, Libra also fell to the side of Fu Gongyan. Yongqi is a mid-way ambush tactic formulated by Fu Gongyan, and Shui Xinyue also believes that the odds of victory are extremely high.
Shui Xinyue's heart knew that if Fu Gongyan could succeed, Han Teng's status in the Bailing Clan would be completely marginalized and lose his current status, because during this period of time, Shui Xinyue had been active on the grassland, and the connection with Han Teng was basically severed, and she didn't know what was happening in the Jiuli Clan, and she also thought that Han Teng was still excluded by the Jiuli Clan, so she thought that she would prevent Fu Gongyan from succeeding no matter what.
So Shui Xinyue thought about it and thought that there was only one way to prevent Fu Gongyan from succeeding, which was to inform Gao Yuan in advance and let Gao Yuan be prepared. I believe that with the ability of the plateau, in the case of predicting the enemy's actions, there will definitely be a way to deal with it, and such a thing, of course, Shui Xinyue can't fake others, so she can only go out in person, so Shui Xinyue thought that she had been away from Daijun for too long, and was worried that there would be an accident in Daijun's intelligence affairs, so she said goodbye to Fu Gongyan and wanted to return to Daidu to deal with intelligence affairs.
At this time, Fu Gongyan was full of confidence in attacking the Bailing Clan, and Shui Xinyue did have a full reason, and Daijun's intelligence affairs were indeed very important, and there could be no mistakes, so he also agreed to Shui Xinyue's request and let Shui Xinyue leave.
As a result, after Shui Xinyue left the Hun camp, she immediately went deep into the grassland to find the plateau.
