"Since the Wei army was defeated, the Korean army collapsed and took advantage of the victory to drive north. This is why we can achieve great success."——————[Warring States Policy·Zhongshan Policy]
Zhou Yu, Chen Dao and others held on for three days. During these three days, when they finished shooting arrows, they pulled them from the corpses, curled their swords, and picked up the weapons of their fallen companions. Even though Xianbei had a large number of people,
They were still unable to break even half a point in front of this narrow pass. Zhou Yu's troops had suffered heavy losses, and even Zhou Yu himself went into battle in person and suffered injuries. Fu Luohan on the opposite side also had a hard time. He didn't expect this tough bone to be so difficult.
, now the chiefs, big and small, in the army are complaining, and if they can't get results, this team will fall apart.
It was night, Xie Guini was wandering around the camp with a frown on his face. Suddenly he saw a noise in the camp where the Han envoys were detained. He walked over and took a look and found that it was Ma Dai quarreling with a few Xianbei people. It turned out to be a few people.
The leader suffered a defeat today, and thinking that the Han envoys were still in the camp, he couldn't help but want to vent his anger on them, and even threatened to tie them on horseback and drive them to the Han army camp tomorrow.
"Presumptuous! Have you ever asked your Excellency if you are doing this?" Xie Guini stepped forward and scolded. Under his careful care, the treatment of these Han envoys was not bad. At first, it was just out of the idea of leaving an extra escape route. Now,
But it can really be used: "Don't back down yet!"
Xie Guini was Fu Luohan's son. He had an army of soldiers and horses in his hands. Everyone was in awe and dispersed like birds and beasts.
After such an episode, Xie Guini naturally wanted to go to the tent to take a look at Xu Jing, Fazheng and others. At this time, Fazheng and others were already seated, and they were not surprised to see Xie Guini's appearance, as if they were like
The owner of this room usually invites Xie Guini to take a seat.
Ma Dai stood at the door of the tent, looked at the embroidered clothes that often came to deliver meals and became slaves, and both of them left.
This was a trap they finally set up. Fazheng found out Xie Guini's whereabouts through the mouths of the embroidered slaves. Ma Dai took the opportunity to have affairs with the Xianbei people to attract their attention. If Xie Guini really wanted to return to the Han Dynasty, he would definitely
Won't miss this opportunity.
Fazheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xu Jing, who was tense and speechless. He spoke first: "The war these days sounds quite unsatisfactory."
"Where did the Han envoys hear this rumor? The power of our army is unstoppable. It won't be long before the Xianbei tribes will clench together like fists, smash the Great Wall of your Han people, and fight their way to the south!" Xie Guini
Hearing Fazheng's light and contemptuous tone, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and he said a lot of words that even he himself did not believe.
Fazheng listened quietly, waited for the other party to finish, and then said: "Is this really so? Do you know how vast our Han land is and how tenacious the Han people are? The soldiers and horses of these northern states are only ten times as good as the elite soldiers of the imperial court.
It’s just one percent, not to mention that we Han people have 40 million people, and all of you Xianbei tribes, old and young, are only one million, right?”
Seeing the guilty look in Xie Guini's eyes, Xu Jing then said: "I, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, intend to harmonize with various ethnic groups, such as the Xiongnu and Qiang people. I teach etiquette and farming. The barbarians are all happy. There has been no rebellion in ten years.
It is the pride of the Han people..."
"That's what you Han people are like. You want to use this method to destroy our race. From now on, there will never be any Xianbei people. This is your trick!" Xie Guini slapped the case.
Fazheng raised his hand, indicating that Xie Gui Ni should calm down: "Even if there are changes in customs, language, and etiquette, the blood of the Xianbei people will continue to be passed down. It is better than... fighting to the death with the imperial court. The imperial court may
Your vitality is greatly damaged, but you will definitely become the next Huns! Not only are the customs and customs you insist on, but also your lives are gone. Is this what you want to see? You are a rare insight among the Xianbei people.
When we meet today, you and I should work together to find a way out, why do you have to be so impulsive?"
Xie Guini managed to suppress his anger. He knew that he could not be carried away by jealousy. The Han army was too powerful. Reason told him that being soft was the best option: "Conspire a way out? I don't know how to conspire with my prisoners.
?”
"The situation will not remain unchanged forever." Xu Jing became more courageous after knowing the current situation: "Today we are prisoners of Chu, and tomorrow we will be ministers of Han."
Xiegui Ni looked at Fa Zheng intently.
Fazheng knew what the other party was going to ask, so he simply threw out the bait: "Do you want to marry my Han princess?"
Xie Guini's expression changed drastically, and he forced himself to calm down: "Princess Xiangguo is in my camp. If you want to marry her or not, what can you do?"
"If you are determined to be an enemy of the imperial court, there is no point in marrying by force. If you just change sides, Princess Shang will have to seek approval from the imperial court." Xu Jing said from the side, and began his eloquent words: "Become the legitimate son-in-law of the emperor.
, this is the grace that Bu Dugen has been longing for. All the countries in the Western Regions are proud of the princess. If I ask for the princess and have the support of the court, not only the central Xianbei, but also the Hu people far and near, who dares not to give me the princess?
For respect? If you try to compare it with Budu Gen today, you will still be wrong."
Xie Guini couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Obtaining the princess was not only an honor in terms of status, but also the help of the Han Dynasty. Wasn't it for this purpose that he originally encouraged his father Fu Luohan to kidnap the princess? Who knows the relationship between the imperial court and Budu?
Gen reacted violently, and Fu Luohan went to war again under Ke Bineng's instigation, and ended up in today's situation. If I can take this opportunity to join the Han Dynasty again, it would be great: "Of course I intend to marry the emperor, but I don't know whether the imperial court will
Permission? Now that you are telling me this, how can I teach others to believe it?"
"The imperial court needs confidants and subordinates outside the Great Wall. Bu Dugen can be a confidant, and so can you." Fa Zheng said that for this reason, he felt that there was no need to say it again.
"Okay, but you have to persuade Princess Xiangguo for me first." Xie Guini made a final request.
Xu Jing couldn't help but look troubled, while Fazheng hesitated for a moment and then slowly agreed.
Early the next morning, Fu Luohan once again launched an attack on Zhou Yu's camp, which was in danger. Xie Guini tried hard to persuade him to withdraw his troops for the last time. He had already made plans, but Fu Luohan still refused: "What do you know? Ke Bi Neng sent a messenger to see me last night.
He said that he has tens of thousands of troops circling up the valley and outside the fortress, and can meet us at any time. In today's battle, I will definitely break through the Han army's camp!"
Xie Guini knew that his father was already furious and could no longer persuade him. He could only sigh and strengthen his determination to cooperate with the Han army.
In the messy Han army camp, the surviving soldiers held their incomplete weapons and relied on each other. Cao Ang limped around the camp and encouraged the tired soldiers from time to time. But this time everyone
I can’t even make a joke. After several days of fierce fighting, although Xianbei paid a heavy price, the casualties on our side should not be underestimated.
Can you hold on next time?
A question flashed through Cao Ang's mind. He was originally a cheerful and upbeat young man, but after this battle, his character became much gloomier. His originally firm heart was also shaken at this time. If the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, what would happen if the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time?
There is no going back from this battle...
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yu patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.
"General." Cao Ang said hurriedly: "This is a dangerous place, the general should go behind..."
"How can there be any 'front' or 'back' nowadays?" Zhou Yu sat down anywhere and looked at the rising smoke from the Xianbei camp in the distance. After eating, a new day and a new battle would begin again.
But his expression was still relaxed: "Do you regret it?"
"Regret?" Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his dirty face: "Why did the general say such things? We men should fight on the battlefield and make contributions, so what's the harm in being shrouded in horse leather? What's more... I think the Xianbei people
Our morale is dwindling day by day, and we must be at the end of our efforts, and we still don’t know who will win or lose in the end.”
Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I have seen many of Duke Cao's subordinates in Chang'an. In terms of military strategy and talent, none of them can compare with you."
"My brothers..." Cao Ang's eyes narrowed: "I really want to go back and see them..."
Before he could finish his words, the Xianbei camp on the opposite side suddenly became busy, and a large group of Xianbei cavalry rushed out of the camp gate again.
"Enemy attack!" Cao Ang reacted immediately and shouted loudly.
The two sides soon fought again. This was a battle that could not be sustained first. The Han army used its amazing patience and perseverance to hold on to the camp. With Chen Dao, Cao Ang and others taking the lead, they held on to the last moment.
Until on the sandy slope in the distance, an elite cavalry suddenly appeared.
"Kill! Kill!" That was the vanguard led by Sun Ce, the general from the Liao Dynasty. On his left and right were the captains Chen Wu and Zhu Zhi. When he learned that Zhou Yu was using his body as a bait to contain Fu Luo Han, Sun Ce immediately asked for orders.
Under the guidance of Cao Anmin, he led the elite cavalry non-stop day and night, and finally arrived at the battlefield in the vast desert.
Looking at the chaotic and tragic battlefield in the distance, everyone showed admiration. No one expected that the thousands of people led by Zhou Yu could resist so many Xianbei without falling behind.
Looking at the large smoke and dust rising in the distance, Fulohan suddenly turned pale with panic, and his face suddenly turned pale. Not far ahead, a group of scout cavalry rushed over, shouting in Xianbei dialect: "It's not good.
The Han army is coming to kill!" Wherever they passed, everyone showed fear. Zhou Yu's Han army alone made them suffer a lot, not to mention the many new Han reinforcements?
In almost a moment, Sun Ce blocked the Xianbei's advancing team. The Xianbei army immediately became chaotic. Cao Ang and others saw the opportunity, no longer holding back, and fought back one after another.
"Stop them!" Fu Luohan shouted, and he could clearly see that the leader of the group of Xianbei people in front was Bu Dugen, who had used the power of the Han army to fight back.
At this time, Xie Guini came over on horseback. Although his face was flustered, his eyes were calmer than the others, as if he had already known the outcome. He came to the unsuspecting father Fu Luohan. He was about to say something, but he heard Xianbei say something next to him.
Ma Dai, who was dressed up, reminded: "The big plan has been decided, but don't make extra troubles."
After Xieguini listened, he could hear the murderous sounds of the Han army from all directions. He gritted his teeth and suddenly drew his sword and chopped down the unprepared Fu Luohan from his horse.
