With the alliance between the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Xianbei Shun Lì in the central part of the country, the Xianbei royal court was preserved, and a great war was eliminated.

When signing the contract, Li Li fulfilled his promise and gave Kebineng a "heavy gift", and Kebineng was also quite sincere and willing to send 20,000 troops as the front army, opening the way for the army to march into Wuhuan.

After the two sides reconciled, the 100,000-strong army rested for three days. Kebineng warmly invited Li Li to the tooth tent for a banquet for three consecutive days, every day.

During this period, Kebi was able to frequently mobilize troops and horses out of the city, but Li Li ignored this and ignored it. This is to be expected, and it is also an additional condition in the covenant, and we are tacitly acknowledged by each other.

After Que Ji's death, his tribe was leaderless, and it was the perfect time to send troops to annex his tribe. That's why Kebineng asked for a three-day break. Taking advantage of this time, Kebi was able to quickly send troops to annex the Que Ji tribe and further strengthen his strength, and then send troops to the east. While uniting with Li Li to send troops, he can also wait for the opportunity to annex some small Wuhuan tribes, and even swallow the tribe and territory of Suli, the leader of Xianbei in the east.

Kebineng's many calculations were not hidden from Li Li, and there was no need to hide them, even if he didn't say it, Li Li also knew it. It was precisely because Kebineng had many demands and ambitions that he took the initiative to ask for peace, trying to turn hostility into friendship and become allies with Li Li, and the two sides were mutually beneficial and took what they needed.

At present, Kebineng is a vested interest, and at the beginning of the alliance, he annexed the Que Ji tribe, which made the tribal power grow by three percent in a short period of time, which can be said to be a lot of gains. However, the Xiliang Army under Li Li stood by and watched. Sit back and watch the rapid growth of the Kebineng tribe.

In the early morning of the fourth day, 100,000 troops set out from the village, and Kebineng led 20,000 Xianbei iron cavalry as the vanguard of the front army. Be the first to march. Zhao Yun's unequaled iron cavalry followed, Gongsun Zan and Yan Rou led 40,000 foot cavalry as the middle army, and Xu Huang and Ma Dai led 20,000 foot troops as the rear army, escorting grain and grass baggage.

At this point, after nearly ten days of delay in the Xianbei royal court, the Eastern Expeditionary Army continued to send troops to Wuhuan according to the original plan.

The signing of the alliance under the city gave Kebi, the leader of Xianbei in the central region, a rare opportunity to develop and grow. And the army of the Eastern Crusade got a new force.

This may seem absurd, but it is not. Kebi Neng aimed to unify the Xianbei tribes and became the second Xianbei king after Tanshi Huai. Steppe overlord. When the Han army was approaching the city, in line with the luck psychology of the dead friend and the flat road, he judged the situation and took the initiative to reconcile with the Han army. and form an alliance. Attempts were made to use the power of the Han army to grow rapidly and thus accelerate the pace of unifying the various departments of the steppe. In the whole matter, Kebineng's performance is remarkable, and it can be called resolute, decisive, wise and wise. However, he ignored the most obvious truth, that is, alliances also need strength as the foundation, and if you don't have enough strength, how can you talk about alliances?

The Kebineng tribe gathered a total of more than 30,000 string controllers. Even if the Queji tribe is annexed, its strength will not exceed 50,000. That's the kind of people alone. What qualifies him to ally with Liley? Therefore, it is not so much that Kebi can form an alliance with Li Li, it is better to say that he has led his troops to surrender to Li Li and has already bowed down. Therefore, the covenant between them was called the "alliance under the city" by Zhuge Liang, a more decent surrender of Kaicheng. Because of this, Li Li did not persecute Kebineng, did not send troops to the Xianbei royal court for the time being, nor did he take over the soldiers and horses of Xianbei in the central part of the country, and was still led by Kebineng. But this is all temporary, leaving a little transition time for Kebi to learn to adapt to the leaders of the various tribes, and when the Wuhuan tribe is resolved, it will be time to see the real chapter.

For Li Li, this situation has long been accustomed to it, and he is so calm that he is light. In the Chang'an Rebellion back then, the situation was far more complicated than now, but it was he Li Li who had the last laugh. Compared with the Chang'an Rebellion, there is no comparison at all, Kebi can be clever and want to take advantage of him, I have to say that Kebi can really be amazingly courageous, but he can't help but be a little blind and arrogant, self-righteous. He thought that Li Li, like the Han people before him, was greedy for military exploits and blindly pursued military achievements, but in fact he did not look down on the grassland territory at all, and would definitely return to the Han Dynasty after the war, and would no longer care about the affairs of the grassland tribes. It was with this mentality that prompted him to be willing to act as a pawn, and after getting the immediate benefits, he excitedly led the Xianbei Iron Cavalry into the Wuhuan territory.

If Yiqiē is really as Kebi can think, then he is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary after the war. Once the Han army withdraws from the grassland, then he will be the king of the grassland, and it is entirely possible to reproduce the former glory of Tanshi Huai, or even surpass it. It's a pity that this is just his wishful thinking and speculation. What the final outcome will be is unknown??????

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

On the sixth day of the 100,000-strong army marching eastward into Wuhuan, it was again hit by heavy rain, forcing the army to stop its march and camp on the spot to rest.

The purpose of this march into Wuhuan is to attack Liucheng, the old nest of Wuhuan, and Li Li is determined to succeed in this. However, since the army left the customs, it has encountered heavy rain in a row, a light rain in almost three days, a heavy rain in five days, and a violent storm in half a month. After each heavy rain, the army had to rest for at least three days until the ground had hardened before continuing its march. The heavy rain not only slowed down the march, but also greatly increased the pressure on the grain and grass of the 100,000 army, making it difficult and miserable for the army of the Eastern Expedition.

The most helpless thing is that it is the rainy season now, and there is already a lot of rain, and this year is even more than in the past.

"Manpower is sometimes poor, and the will of heaven is unpredictable!" The handsome tent gathering had just ended, Li Li paced outside the tent, looked at the "booming" heavy rain in front of him, and sighed softly.

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun stayed at the end and left the big tent, and they heard Li Li's sigh just after walking a short distance, so the two immediately stopped and walked to Li Li's side lightly.

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Is the lord worried about the insufficient supply of food and grass for our army?" If this is the case, the lord does not need to worry. Weichen found out two days ago that there would be heavy rain in the next few days, so he mobilized 30,000 cattle and sheep from the Xianbei royal court, thinking that in two days, this batch of cattle and sheep should arrive. Furthermore. Our army still has half a month's grain and grass at present, plus the cattle and sheep that will be delivered later, which should be able to support a month. Therefore, our army is not in danger of a shortage of food and grass at present. The Lord can rest assured. ”

Li Li's expression couldn't help but soothe after hearing this, and he turned his head and gestured approvingly to Zhuge Liang, without praising him in person, and not saying it didn't mean that he didn't feel anything in his heart.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's young and handsome face, Li Li secretly thought: "This is the real wise man." made a mistake in the previous rush, causing Gongsun Zhan to lead the army to go deep alone, and almost wiped out the whole army; After this incident. Kong Ming learned his lesson and became more cautious. In this long journey, grain and grass are another big problem. However, Kong Ming had already prepared and easily solved this old and difficult problem. The true wise man in the world does not never make mistakes, but never falls in the same place twice, and this is the wise man. On the contrary. A lot of people make mistakes over and over again throughout their lives. almost stayed in place and went around, so that he did nothing all his life and died of old age. "Kong Ming in front of him is a wise man, and he will remember a lesson for life. And Li Li himself is the same, he is not without mistakes, on the contrary, he has made many mistakes, but he knows his mistakes and corrects them. Introspect often, and over time you rarely make mistakes. There are fewer errors. Opportunities will increase, and success will follow.

After abandoning his thoughts, Li Li asked in a low voice: "It seems that this heavy rain will continue for a few more days, so the army will rest here for a few days to recuperate and recuperate before fighting." Zilong, has the former army behaved abnormally recently? Looking at Zhao Yun, Li Li still had a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Yun said without hesitation: "Since the eastward advance, the last general has sent a large number of scouts to investigate and observe, but he has not found any changes in General Kebineng, and the soldiers and horses under his account are also decent, and they are all on orders. ”

"Well, that's very good." Li Li bowed slightly, pondered and said: "Right now, we are in the territory of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, both front and back are barbarian tribes, and they have been hit by heavy rains, and their march is sluggish, and they are in a difficult situation and full of dangers. And the 20,000 iron cavalry under Kebineng is in our army, and if he has bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, our army must be careful everywhere on this long-distance expedition, and must not be negligent in the slightest; The slightest mistake will put our tens of thousands of troops in danger of overturning. This verse must not be overlooked. ”

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun nodded happily after hearing this, they already remembered it in their hearts, but they didn't need to say more.

After a little silence, Li Li suddenly said to Zhuge Liang: "The rainy season is humid, Kong Ming still needs to pay more attention to his body. Though you are young, you are a scribe after all, and you are too weak to work too hard. As he spoke, Li Li gently patted Kong Ming's shoulder, and his concern was beyond words.

Zhuge Liang was very moved, and said respectfully: "Thank you brother for your compassion, the foolish brother is in good health, so there is no need to worry about it." Although he said this, he still felt abrupt in his heart, and he didn't know why Li Li cared about him so much.

No matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, he can't think of what Li Li thought when he said this, let alone know that the reason why Li Li let him go out with the army and left Guo Jia in Youzhou was because of the heavy rain in front of him. For Li Li, who is familiar with history, he knows very well how Guo Jia died in history.

In the annals of history, in order to unify the north, Cao Cao personally led a large army to the east to conquer Wuhuan and Xianbei, and Guo Jia went out with the army. Cao's army set out from Yecheng and traveled thousands of miles, and its journey was much longer than the route of Li Li's eastward expedition; And Cao's army, like Li Li at this time, suffered heavy rain repeatedly, so that the attacking army was delayed on the way for several months. As a result, Cao's army defeated the barbarian coalition army, but Guo Jia fell ill and finally died of illness on the way back from the army at the age of thirty-six.

Time and space rotated, and now Li Li's army is crusading eastward, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, he deliberately left Guo Jia in Youzhou, and took the young and strong Zhuge Liang with him. Now that there is heavy rain again, the army is stagnant, Li Li can't help but think of this, so he has a feeling, and tells Zhuge Liang to pay more attention to his body, don't get tired.

?????? Five days later, the expeditionary army set out again. At noon three days later, at the northern foot of the White Wolf Mountain, which is less than two hundred miles away from Liucheng, he met the barbarian army led by Badun. The enemy was very angry when they met, and a sudden encounter broke out??????
