Chapter 169 A generation of hero Tan Shihuai, full of courage!
"What?"
Zhu Han and others were talking just now, so they did not focus on the outside of the pass. Now they suddenly heard the voices of soldiers, and everyone looked outside the pass in unison. They saw some Xianbei cavalry outside the pass dismounted and carrying shields.
, moved the ladder, and it looked like they were preparing to storm Yanmen Pass.
"Brother, you should leave later! The situation here is not good!"
Han Heng's face was filled with nervousness, and he asked Zhu Han: "This time the Xianbei people are not acting according to common sense, and they are about to prepare for a strong attack!"
"The opponent only has three to four thousand troops, but there are a thousand Han troops at Yanmen Pass. Unless the leader of the opponent is crazy, he will not attack by force! How many men will be lost?"
Zhu Han was also extremely nervous. He stared outside the gate closely for a while, then asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, what do you think?"
"Bo Yun is right! Even if they can capture Yanmen Pass, they will have to pay at least one or two thousand lives. Kebi, who came to explore the road earlier, is not a fool. He should make it clear to the commander-in-chief who is going south this time.
It’s the right thing!”
Xi Zhicai frowned and analyzed: "If the opponent does not follow common sense and attempts to attack Yanmen Pass, there are only three reasons. First, there is something attractive to them behind Yanmen Pass, which makes them have to attack by force.
Shorten the time to go south; secondly, they have a way to reduce casualties and attack Yanmen Pass; thirdly, the opponent's commander is a fool."
"Isn't it Dai County to the south of Yanmen Pass? What kind of disaster has it been caused by the Xianbei people in recent years? Anyway, they come once every year. Why is it so urgent this year?"
Zhu Han said in confusion.
"Tan Shihuai is only over forty years old, but he has unified all the tribes in Xianbei. Even we big men dare not declare war with him easily! This shows that this person is very capable! Now it is impossible for him to lead his troops southward in person.
You know how to use this trick!"
Han Heng explained.
"Now that the first and third points have been eliminated, only the second point remains!"
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said.
"With those simple ladders and the Xianbei people dismounting their war horses, do they really think they can capture Yanmen Pass?"
Han Heng replied with an ugly look on his face: "Although this general is temporarily transferred, and most of the soldiers under his command have never been on the battlefield, the boys in my generation are born to be the best warriors. With a little training, they can go into battle and kill the enemy!"
Tan Shihuai really thinks that this general is easy to bully? Besides, not long ago his subordinate Kebineng suffered a loss at the hands of his wise brother, why do they have such short memories?"
"Haha, the way to reduce casualties is not necessarily to attack from the outside. Sometimes it may be faster to disintegrate from the inside!"
Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"What do you mean?"
Han Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said angrily: "Are you trying to say that some of my subordinates are colluding with the enemy?"
"Brother Han, don't be angry! As the war is approaching, we have to think about the worst things, right?"
Zhu Han said quickly: "If it really happens, wouldn't you be in trouble?"
"In this case, I will temporarily switch to the guard duty now!"
After Han Heng walked away with a cold face, Zhu Han asked with a wry smile: "Zhicai, why are you doing this! No one can stand it when talking about other people's soldiers on their own territory.
!”
"The situation is urgent, and it's my fault for not thinking carefully!"
Xi Zhicai asked with a gloomy face: "In Yi Boyun's opinion, what are the Xianbei people outside the pass planning to do? This kind of thankless thing is obviously not done by wise men!"
"Only for the little food in Daijun to attack Yanmen Pass, what would a fool do? Besides, the Xianbei people rob and leave every year, unless they plan not to leave this time?"
As Zhu Han spoke, he was actually startled by his own words. He immediately looked at Xi Zhicai in shock, and saw Xi Zhicai nodded slightly towards him with a solemn face, indicating that he agreed with his words.
"No way! If Tanshihuai is snatched and left, I, a big man, can't do anything to them. If they hold it and refuse to leave, it would be a bit of a trap! The court will never sit idly by and ignore it. In addition, Daijun's
Most of the people are Han people, and even if they take it, it will be difficult to manage it! Rather than arousing the anger of the imperial court and sending out a large army to encircle and suppress it, it is better to just rob it and leave like in previous years."
Zhu Han knocked on the wall and analyzed: "Unless Tan Shihuai cooperates with us Han people inside and outside, he is responsible for attracting the officials and soldiers of the imperial court... Then..."
The more he talked, the more frightened Zhu Han became, because he suddenly thought of Zhang Jiao, a giant deer not far from Daijun. Only Zhang Jiao wanted the imperial court to dispatch local troops to Youzhou.
"The Xianbei people have hundreds of thousands of people who control strings. Now Tan Shihuai has unified all the tribes. After several years of integration, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are willing to go south to devour the Han Dynasty."
Xi Zhicai's face turned ugly. He didn't have Zhu Han's idea. He always felt that Zhu Han's idea was a bit unrealistic, or it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a bit taken for granted.
"Even if Tan Shihuai has the intention to go south and invade the Han Dynasty, what is the purpose of sending only three or four thousand cavalry? Does he think that he can sweep away my big Han with just these cavalry?"
Zhu Han replied angrily: "He is too arrogant!"
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai looked at Zhu Han in astonishment, and explained with a wry smile: "Bo Yun! When marching and fighting, do you really have to spend all your money to fight with the opponent, car to car, horse to horse?
Isn’t it possible to have a decisive battle? Let’s not talk about whether it is better to fight like that. Just from the perspective of food and grass consumption, how much food will be consumed every day? According to their experience of going south in previous years, they can definitely guess the size of the defenders at Yanmen Pass. He sent three troops
Four thousand is also common sense. As long as Yanmen Pass is broken, he can gradually increase his troops, and then gradually encroach on Daijun, Yanmen and other border areas. When the time comes, he will unite with the Southern Xiongnu and Wuyuan people to rebel, and the court will definitely be overwhelmed.
It will really give them a taste of the sweetness. If someone takes the opportunity to raise an army again, the Han Dynasty will really be in turmoil."
Although Zhu Han has great ambitions and Xi Zhicai also wants to help him achieve a career, these things are their own business, just like two brothers fighting to rob the family property. No matter how they fight, the little family property is theirs.
What's going on in his family now that outsiders have intervened?
"Haha, we have been talking here for a long time, but are we all a bit unfounded? Maybe this year I am just being naive and want to change my taste!"
Xi Zhicai's words are very reasonable, but the condition for all this to happen is that the Yanmen Pass was broken. The Southern Xiongnu relied on the Han all the year round. Although the Wuyuan people rebelled from time to time, most of them were still close to the Han. Although these two ethnic groups are
A wolf that is not well-raised, but is also scared of being beaten by a big man. If you want to make them think wrong, you must at least show the strength to convince them, and breaking through Yanmen Pass is equivalent to a stepping stone, which can be broken.
The bricks of their inner defense.
"Bo Yun, look, a group of slaves are coming from behind the Xianbei people!"
At this time, Xi Zhicai pointed at the Xianbei army formation outside the pass and exclaimed: "No, if this happens, Yanmen Pass may really not be able to be defended!"
"kindness?"
Zhu Han quickly looked around and saw that the number of slaves was quite considerable. At a glance, it was a sea of people. He estimated that there must be two to three thousand people. Zhu Han only felt that at a glance, they were all dark.
"Brother, it's not good, it's not good!"
At this time, Han Heng ran up to the tower in a panic and said urgently: "The Xianbei people are attacking in a big way this time! We alone will never be able to defend it!"
"Since we can't defend it, why don't we send someone to ask Governor Zhao for help quickly!"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and replied: "I will send someone to ask for help from the Wuyuan School Lieutenant Department, and you will send someone to ask for help from Commander Zhao and Yanmen."
"That's right, that's right! Brother Yu will send someone to ask for help right now! Go right now!"
Han Heng came and left quickly. Looking at him like this, this was the first time he had encountered such a battle.
"Tsk tsk, Zhicai, have you ever seen a battle involving thousands of people?"
Zhu Han exhaled a few deep breaths and asked his team to move his team from outside the pass into the middle of the pass. He was really afraid that the other side would take Yanmen Pass in one go.
"I've never seen it before. This time, I'm afraid we're really in danger!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Xi Zhicai hurriedly whispered: "Bo Yun, if you can't hold on later, you have to cut it off as soon as possible. Don't kill your subordinates just for the sake of quick success."
"How could I do such a stupid thing if I have to rely on them to stand up? Okay, if we can't beat them, we can just run away. The worst we can do is have a tug-of-war with the Xianbei people. I don't believe that the big man can't hold him to death with such a vast depth.
Hundreds of thousands?”
Zhu Han sneered and nodded. He also knew that now was not the time to show loyalty or act heroic.
"It's good that you know! These five hundred people are your capital to make a comeback. If they are all used up here, it will be really difficult for us to make a comeback!"
Xi Zhicai smiled gloomily and said: "Even if you can turn over, it will be a few years later. No one can say whether those talents will still follow you for several years!"
Xi Zhicai's words are very straightforward and realistic. Sometimes Zhu Han really admires Liu Bei. Although that guy has lost all the battles in his life, he spent the first half of his life running here and there, commonly known as Liu Paopao, but no matter what, he is always around him.
Zhu Han could always bring together a group of talents. At this point, Zhu Han admired him. If the two sides changed positions, Zhu Han would ask himself if he didn't have Liu Bei's ability.
"Everyone says that you are a great hero. Today, I, Zhu Han, will test your abilities. Come on, Tan Shihuai, let me take a good look at your abilities!"
Zhu Han sneered, looked at the Xianbei troops gathering outside the pass, and laughed in a low voice.
'Woo...Woo...Woo...'
At this time, a dull horn sound suddenly sounded outside the pass.
A group of Xianbei slaves howled and rushed over carrying ladders.
"here we go!"
Zhu Han punched the wall and said in a deep voice.
