Chapter 639: Besieging Lu Bu

Deng Zhi laughed and said, "The Great Shanyu was worried too much. Why did my lord act like this to the Huns before? It was because the Southern Xiongnu had always attached to our great Han in the past, as if they were the lackeys raised by our great Han. But now our great Han was a little weaker, so they had to bite them back. Naturally, they had to strictly tame such lackeys. The Xianbei of the Great Shanyu is a country with equal status as our great Han. As long as the Great Shanyu can truce peace with us and trade well, we will never provoke them, and we will not use strong Chinese policies to rob your tribesmen!"

Deng Zhi knew very well that his lord Lu Bu was just unable to take action to completely destroy all tribes on the grassland, so he kept the dog of Kuitou to guard the palace for the Han Dynasty. Among the five people, Qianman, Kuitou, Budugen, Kebinn, and Fuluhan, Fuluhan was the worst and had the lowest prestige. Only such a person who became the Xianbei Shanyu would not be as easy to rebel as Kebinn and others.

In recent years, Lu Bu has not had the energy to go out to the fortress to pacify the grasslands that have been thousands of miles away. His focus is now on Senei. Only by consolidating the original territory of the Han Dynasty can he have enough strength to go out to the fortress to completely wipe out the nomadic peoples. At present, it is still very useful to keep Fu Luohan.

Deng Zhi also said: "If the Great Shanyu signed a truce and peace agreement with our great Han, we will establish a trade barrier outside the fortresses of each state. At that time, we will trade freely, and our great Han's grain, silk, tea, and porcelain will continue to be sent to your grassland, and your grassland is just for cattle, sheep and their fur. With such a rich trade, the Xianbei men just need to grazle cattle and sheep well, and they don't have to sprinkle blood in front of the strong fortress of the great Han. As long as the Xianbei people live and work in peace, the Xianbei will gradually become rich and will no longer be as barren as before, and they will come to the great Han to grab it at any time."

Deng Zhi was born as a diplomatic material. In history, Sun Quan often took the mission to Sun Quan from Sun Quan's perspective, and considered issues for Sun Quan. Not only did he successfully complete the tasks assigned by Zhuge Liang, but he also successfully won the favor of Sun Quan. Deng Zhi also successfully completed the tasks assigned by Lu Bu this time, and won the favor of Fu Luohan. Fu Luohan hoped that Deng Zhi would stay in the Xianbei army to advise him on military affairs.

Deng Zhi smiled and said, "Originally, my lord intended to instruct me to help the Great Shanyu plan how to deal with Qian Man and Ke Bineng. I am willing to serve the Great Shanyu, but the war has been completed and I will go back."

Fu Luohan smiled and said, "It is also good to get your temporary help."

Seeing that the atmosphere was very good, Deng Zhi frowned and smiled bitterly: "I saw that the Great Shanyu was sincere and dare not hide it. It turned out that Qianman and Kebineng all had an alliance with my lord. A month ago, Qianman and Kebineng sent an envoy to visit my lord and agreed to attack Kuitou Shanyu with my lord. At that time, my lord believed the two thieves. Who knew that they were in front of me and did not move. My lord had to fight alone. Qianman and Kebineng were traitorous and even took advantage of our exhaustion to counterattack, causing us to lose more than 10,000 people!"

Fu Luohan stroked the long beard under his jaw and sighed: "So that's it, Qian Man and Ke Bi Neng are so traitors!"

Deng Zhi took the opportunity and said, "My lord is willing to help you to serve the Xianbei Great Chanyu, and help you to destroy Qianman, Kebineng and the Xianbei tribes in the eastern part of the world, but he has a lesson in the past. I am afraid that the Great Chanyu will act like Qianman and Kebineng!"

Fu Luohan finally encountered such an opportunity, so he naturally refused to give up and sweared to the sky: "With my great Kunlun God, if the great man does not betray me, I will never betray the man!"

Deng Zhi shook his head and said, "Da Shanyu, you have made such a swear. Although you are trusted by your Xianbei people, we Han people have different beliefs from you and cannot agree with you. I am just carrying a vow. I am afraid it is difficult to submit a mission to our Lord!"

Fu Luohan spread his hands and said helplessly: "What should you do in your opinion?"

Deng Zhi said seriously: "We Han people have always had the tradition of protons. I heard that Da Shanyu's eldest son, the one who was the one who was in your army, if Da Shanyu sent Da Shanyu into my Han Dynasty, my lord would definitely trust Da Shanyu and help Da Shanyu unshirkable!"

When Fu Luohan heard that he wanted to send his eldest son to conscription, he hesitated for a while and refused to make a decision.

Deng Zhi's face changed and he shook his sleeves: "Since you are not sincere, then forget it, you should be with Qian Man and Ke Bi Neng, oh, according to our Han people, it is the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind!"

Deng Zhi turned around and was about to leave. Fu Luohan quickly pulled Deng Zhi: "Stop, let me listen to Xiao Wang's detailed explanation of his difficulties."

Deng Zhi turned his face and said with a sinister look: "I see the prince respecting the wise and humble, and I can't bear to deceive you, so I'll tell you the truth. In the previous battle, our army only damaged more than 10,000 people. Now there are still 100,000 troops in our camp. In addition, General Zhang Yan, Pingbei, has led 60,000 troops to reinforce north along Yinshan. When Zhang Yan's army arrives, 160,000 troops will be surrounded. It is Qian Man. When Kebi Neng is destroyed, Prince, should you choose to be the Great Xianbei Shanyu or to be buried with Qian Man? Kebi Neng will be your choice at this time!"

Fu Luohan's face changed drastically. No wonder Lu Bu's army has been unable to defend these days. It turned out that they were waiting for Zhang Yan's Taihang Corps. They are now all on Danhan Mountain. Danhan Mountain is connected to Yin Mountain. The Taihang Corps headed north from Taihang Mountain and reached the Dahan Fortress on Yin Mountain. After they arrived at the Dahan Mountain in a few days, they would reach Danhan Mountain. At that time, the Han army relied on the mountain, with strong bows and hard crossbows, which could not be resisted by Xianbei cavalry.

Fu Luohan realized that Lu Bu's military strength was so strong that he did not dare to delay any further. He immediately decided to let his eldest son Yu Gui Ni return to Lu Bu's camp quietly with Yuwen Si.

For more than ten days, Lu Bu was guarding the camp. Qian Man and Ke Bieneng repeatedly urged Fu Luohan to attack. Fu Luohan made excuses that there were too many wounded soldiers left by Kuitou Shanyu. It is almost early summer. The weather is beginning to be hot, and the epidemic is prevalent in the army, so it is likely that he will not be able to advance.

In fact, Lu Bu has sent hundreds of medical soldiers to sneak into Fu Luohan's camp to help Fu Luohan treat the wounded soldiers. Lu Bu let go of the Xianbei prisoners on the battlefield a few days ago and did not shoot them. He has won their favor. This time he secretly sent medical soldiers to treat them, which made these Xianbei soldiers even more grateful to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was willing to give favors to these Xianbei Hu people not to show the demeanor of Tiankang like Li Shimin, but to successfully promote the sinicization in the future, to sinicize these Xianbei people into the Han people, speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, wear Hanfu, and perform Han rituals. Everything follows the Han system, and it is probably not a hundred years later. These Xianbei people, even the pure-bred Xianbei people with blond hair and blue eyes, will become white-skinned and yellow-hearted people who admire the great Han education.

Qian Man and Ke Bi Neng considered that Fu Luohan had gathered Kuitou and Bu Dugen's remaining soldiers had more than 50,000 cavalry. In the face of the great enemy, they could only win over but not turn against each other. Moreover, the disease problem mentioned by Fu Luohan was indeed an unavoidable problem. Qian Man and Ke Bi Neng had no choice but to join forces and launch 60,000 cavalry to attack Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu's camp was very strongly repaired, and dozens of trenches were dug around the camp. The 60,000 Xianbei cavalry wanted to use Lasso to pull down the camp and declared a failure because they could not get close to the camp. Lu Bu had crossbow soldiers densely spread on the walls of the village, and 20,000 crossbow soldiers were auxiliary soldiers. Most of the soldiers were injured in the battle a few days ago. After ten days of rest, most of their injuries were healed, and only some seriously injured were left in the medical camp. Lu Bu did not allow the soldiers to defend themselves in order to help them regain their energy and prepare for the next battle.

Although Lu Bu was dispatched as auxiliary soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers' daily training and practical opportunities were better than ordinary combat soldiers. They were proficient in operating crossbows and launched neatly. Qian Man and Ke Bieneng did not expect that the 20,000 people in front of them were auxiliary soldiers.

The 20,000 auxiliary soldiers were fired at once, and tens of thousands of black arrow feathers were like dark clouds in the sky. The Xianbei cavalry formation was rushing towards the sky. Most of the Xianbei cavalry were light cavalry wearing leather armor and horses without armor. Even though they could avoid ordinary bows and arrows, they could not avoid powerful crossbow arrows. Even though the Xianbei cavalry was scattered very wide when sprinting, there were crossbow soldiers on all sides of the Lubu camp, covering the attack of the Xianbei cavalry.

Qian Man and Ke Bi Neng tried to attack more than ten times, losing seven or eight thousand cavalry, but they couldn't even touch the edge of Lu Bu's camp. Qian Man hurriedly asked Ke Bi Neng for advice.

Kebi was able to make his mark in the Xianbei because of his small Xianbei background. Not only because he was extremely powerful, but also because he was very knowledgeable and intelligent. After a little thought, he smiled and said, "The envoy of Gongsun Du said that Lu Bu is now attacked from all sides, and we sent to inquire in detail. As the envoy said, now Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Du, Han Sui, Liu Yan, Tao Qian and other forces surrounding Lu Bu were all at the same time, under the instigation of the aristocratic families.

After launching an attack, Lu Bu is now incompetent and is poor here. He brought more than 100,000 people this time, but only one month has been brought. It has been more than 20 days and the food and grass has been exhausted. Why not let us join Fu Luohan and use these 100,000 cavalry to surround Lu Bu here. Wait for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Du, and Han Sui to win the victory. When Lu Bu was exhausted and forced to break through, he launched another attack and would definitely win a great victory."

Qian Man was overjoyed, so he brought out 40,000 cavalry from Kebineng's argument and arranged the camps to the east of Lubu's camp. Kebineng's camp moved westward. In this way, the Xianbei royal city, Qianman's camp, Fuluhan's camp, and Kebineng's camp formed a semi-encirclement of Lubu's camp. The only direction in which Lubu's camp was not surrounded was the lush forests of Danhan Mountain. Qianman and Kebineng were confident that there were 100,000 Xianbei cavalry here, so Lubu must not dare to attack rashly. After all, there are less than 30,000 cavalry under Lubu's command now.

Qian Man and Ke Bieneng estimated that Lu Bu had 60,000 or 70,000 troops left, and his combat effectiveness was quite strong. He was worried that his battle with Lu Bu would lead to a terrible victory of killing one thousand enemies and 800, so he sent people to the eastern Xianbei, and asked the eastern Xianbei people distributed in Liaodong, western Liaoning, Beiping, and Yuyang. Mijia, Que Ji, Suli, and Huaitou, who were distributed in Liaodong, western Liaoning, and Beiping, and Yuyang.
