The Xianbei clan originally became a very powerful force in the northern grasslands thanks to Tan Shihuai's combination of war methods and personal prestige.
Tanshihuai absorbed a certain amount of talents and sophisticated weapons from the Central Plains, making up for the gap in military quality and equipment quality of the previous "One Han Enemy Five Hus". It frequently invaded the borders of the Han Dynasty and fought in large-scale battles with the Han Dynasty.
He also achieved a complete victory.
Therefore, it can be said that if Tanshihuai does not die, in a few more years, a Moton Chanyu will be born on the grassland again.
By that time, he will definitely be a strong opponent for the big man.
However, Tan Shihuai died at the age of 44.
After Tan Shihuai's death, his son and his successor succeeded him as the leader of Xianbei. However, not only was his talent and ability inferior to his father's, he was also greedy for money and lust. Later, when he attacked the North, he was shot to death by the Northlanders.
Therefore, the originally powerful Xianbei suddenly became a piece of scattered sand and returned to many tribes.
Among them are the Bu Du Gen (He Lian's nephew) tribe, Fu Luo Han tribe (Bu Du Gen's elder brother), Bineng tribe, Mijia tribe, Suli tribe, Pu Tou, Ke Bineng tribe and so on.
Among them, the Kebineng tribe is very powerful, and the main reason is their leader Kebineng.
Because he was brave in battle, fair in enforcing the law, and not greedy for money, the people of Xianbei believed in him.
This also made Kebineng's ambitions continue to expand.
This time it was Kebineng's troops who besieged Mayi.
The reason is not complicated at all. He made a bet with Bu Dugen.
Whoever can take the lead in capturing a city of the Han Dynasty will be the leader of the Fuluohan tribe.
Today's Xianbei is dominated by the two heroes Kebineng and Budugen competing for hegemony.
Fu Luohan has no say.
And Kebi could choose Mayi.
Ke Bineng had great ambitions. The land of Mayi was the beginning of the Han Dynasty turning from defense to offense against the foreign tribes on the grassland. Since then, for hundreds of years, the foreign tribes on the grassland have never taken advantage of the Han Dynasty.
Even in the chaotic times of Xinmang, the grassland aliens rose again, and then they were beaten wildly by the Dou brothers. Shi Yanran immediately became honest and did not dare to stab him again.
Originally Ke Bineng didn't have the courage, but Tan Shihuai set a good example for him. In addition, the big men in the south have gradually become weaker over the years, especially with the recent Yellow Turban riots, and the country's strength has dropped sharply.
Kebi Neng keenly realized that the opportunity for the grassland aliens to rise again had come.
Kebineng may not be able to become the great Maodun Chanyu, establish a vast grassland empire, and restore the glory of the grassland.
Although Maodun was a Huns, this did not prevent Kebi from admiring him.
In fact, many prairie people, no matter which race they belong to, worship Mo Dun.
Because Mao Dun was a hero who even the mother of the emperor of Han Dynasty in the south dared to use to warm his bed.
Kebineng thought that if he could capture Mayi, he would not only be able to annex the Fuluohan tribe, but also establish his reputation on the grassland.
It’s not like Da Chanyu can’t do it himself.
With this idea in mind, Kebi Neng quickly gathered more than 20,000 troops from his tribe and immediately surrounded Mayi.
This is what Chen Yuan and the others saw.
More than 20,000 cavalry attacked from the north in overwhelming force and stopped three hundred steps away from the Mayi city wall.
The north wind howled, the military flags were fierce, murderous intent soared into the sky, and the white clouds were dispersed.
Chen Yuan also didn't expect that by such a coincidence, he would encounter Mayi being besieged by the aliens on the grassland.
Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, he wanted to take a look first and then talk.
Just kidding, there are two first-level experts beside me, how can I be afraid of these mere 20,000 prairie cavalry?
After the more than 20,000 prairie cavalry stopped, a gap opened and one person walked out.
This person's mount is not a horse, but a tall and majestic wolf.
This wolf is taller than an ordinary horse, extremely majestic, and its eyes are scarlet, shining with cruel light.
Kebineng was a man of majestic stature and rough face. He wore an iron helmet and armor.
He has a scimitar on his waist, and when he opens and closes his eyes, only the light can be seen. He is truly a good man from the prairie.
Kebineng walked to the front of the battle, looked at the Mayi officials and soldiers on top of the city and shouted: "I am Kebineng, Lord Xianbei. If you open the door and surrender, I promise that Qiu will not invade. Otherwise, after the city is broken,
Leave no chickens or dogs behind.”
At this time, the people standing on the city head were Sun Bing, the magistrate of Mayi County, Zhao Lie, the lieutenant of Mayi County, and then Zhang Liao.
At this time, Zhang Liao was a petty official in Mayi County, but because of his strong force and ability to lead troops, he worked under the county captain Zhao Lie.
Sun Bing and Zhao Lie were neither great talents. When they saw 20,000 cavalry besieging the city, they immediately panicked.
In a hurry, they all looked at Zhang Liao.
Although Zhang Liao is young, he has an mature appearance, a heroic face, and a majestic posture. In addition, he often leads troops to fight against the aliens on the grasslands, so he naturally has a majestic and steady aura.
"Wenyuan, Xianbei's 20,000-strong army is besieging the city. We in Mayi have only a few soldiers and few generals. We may not be able to defend it for a long time. We need to make plans in advance."
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Zhang Liao was now in charge in Mayi City.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but frown after hearing what the county captain said.
As a county captain, Zhao Lie was timid before fighting. How could he lead his troops to defend the city?
Fortunately, Zhang Liao also knew the virtues of the county magistrate and county captain. uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com These two people are said to have become officials by following the path of eunuchs. Naturally, we cannot expect them to be very capable.
Zhang Liao frowned and then said: "County Magistrate Sun and County Lieutenant Zhao, even though we have a small army and few generals, we must defend Mayi to the death. I have asked people to ask for reinforcements from the county and the city. We only need to support them for five days and they will be able to wait for reinforcements."
Once the reinforcements arrive, even if Kebi has 20,000 cavalry, it would be wishful thinking to capture my city of Mayi."
When they heard that Zhang Liao had sent someone to ask for help, the two of them couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Unless absolutely necessary, the two of them did not want to abandon the city.
The Han Dynasty had strict military orders for retreating without fighting. Anyone who retreated without fighting and lost the city would be beheaded.
County magistrate Sun Bingqiang smiled and said: "I am not good at military formations, so I will leave it to you two to defend the city."
After saying that, this guy actually got off the city wall and returned to the mansion.
Zhang Liao suddenly became angry.
Even if you don't understand anything, at this time, as the county magistrate, standing on top of the city is an encouragement to the morale of the soldiers.
It would be better for you to just run away.
What do you want the soldiers to think?
If there is not enough success, there is more than enough failure.
However, Zhang Liao is now just a petty official under the county captain and a village chief.
The chief of the village, an official with two hundred stones.
The county magistrate and county captain are six hundred dan. Even if he is angry, he cannot express it at this time.
Fortunately, the county captain Zhao Lie still had some bravery. Although he was very scared, he still insisted on not going down to the city, which gave the soldiers on the city wall a backbone.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Zhang Liao took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "There is no general in the Han Dynasty who can surrender without fighting, let alone a soldier who can be captured without a fight. Ke Bineng, if you want to fight, fight. If you are the only one who will die, what do you have to fear!"
