Chapter 289 Xianbei’s strategy, see through at a glance
North of Youzhou, on the vast grassland, the Huns, who had been active for hundreds of years, have now declined since Dou Xian defeated them.
The vast prairie is almost dominated by the Xianbei people.
Even though there were many Xianbei tribes, some of them active in Daijun, Shanggu, and Yuyang areas were defeated by Zhao Feng, and even the Xianbei King of Wangting was captured alive by Zhang Liao.
But the Xianbei people are still the unequivocal overlords on the prairie.
No matter whether it is the Xiongnu or the Fuyu people who are now in a corner, or the Wusun tribe to the west, they are no match for the Xianbei people.
After all, although 20,000 young people were kidnapped by Zhao Feng in the past, the chaos of the war still gave the Xianbei people an excellent opportunity to reproduce. Now the Xianbei people have returned to their former glory.
There were many cattle, sheep and horses, and the former youths had grown into young adults. Under the leadership of the Xianbei King, they chased and trained troops on the grassland all day long.
Now the royal court of King Xianbei is no longer in Danhan Mountain, which is relatively close to Youzhou. If one is not careful, Zhao Feng will send troops to destroy them all.
The current royal court is located in Junji Mountain, six hundred miles northeast of Liangzhou. It is far away from the Han Dynasty and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is convenient for grazing and defense.
The old Xianbei King Tuoba Zhenqi died in humiliation and anger shortly after he was released. Today's Xianbei King is the son of the Xianbei Great Khan Tan Shihuai, and He Lian.
Standing on the high Junji Mountain, Grandmaster Lian and I were looking south towards the Central Plains.
There, he once left the footprints of his father Tan Shihuai. Now with the population of Xianbei tribes multiplying and the abundance of cattle and horses, He Lian is already eager to give it a try and always has the idea of going south to compete with the heroes of the Central Plains.
Especially after hearing that the Wei Dynasty had replaced the Han Dynasty and Zhao Feng proclaimed himself emperor, He Lian had the urge to rush into the Central Plains to fight for hegemony.
However, before he could take action, a scout came to report: "The emperor Zhao Feng of the Wei Dynasty, with Zhao Yun as his general and Guo Jia as his military advisor, sent an army of 100,000 troops to attack the royal court, intending to destroy Xianbei in one battle. From then on, the great generals
The grassland is included in the territory of the Wei Dynasty!"
He Lian frowned: "Why did it come so fast? We have just founded the country and we are raising troops to invade? Do you want to use me, Xianbei, to further stimulate the Han people's sense of belonging to the Wei Dynasty?"
"Humph, although the Wei Dynasty is strong, we, the Xianbei people, have never been afraid of anyone on the prairie. We quickly sent an order to all the tribes and told them to gather their armies here within five days!"
"My Junji Mountain is thousands of miles away from Bingzhou. I must carefully plan the expedition so that Zhao Feng's expeditionary army can win every battle and never dare to covet my Xianbei treasure land again."
Although He Lian is not as brave as Tan Shihuai, he is quite intelligent and has won the favor of many tribes. Therefore, there is a king of Wei among the Xianbei people. Especially when they heard that the Wei Dynasty's 100,000-strong army was attacking, the tribes became more and more popular.
It was under his command that the world was settled in one battle and the country continued to enjoy the peaceful and prosperous life in the past.
Soon, more than twenty tribes sent troops to the foot of Kuaiji Mountain. Each of them went out with their elite cavalry, and also brought many cattle and sheep to use as food and grass.
After counting the troops and horses, Helian immediately received 180,000 cavalry.
These cavalrymen were all strong and strong men, and they were all good at riding and shooting. Seeing that the Xianbei people were so powerful, He Lian was overjoyed and had great confidence in this battle.
Soon, Helian divided the army into three parts, one with 40,000 troops as the left army, commanded by General Tuoba Chi, and the other with 40,000 troops as the center army, commanded by General Tuoba Jinghong. He himself led 100,000 troops.
For the Chinese Army.
The three groups advanced in unison and quickly headed in the direction where Zhao Yun came. When they arrived at Jiji Mountain, they set up an ambush after heading north. Just waiting for Zhao Yun's army to come, they rushed down from the mountain, broke down Zhao Yun's formation, and then completely defeated Zhao Yun's army.
"The Han people don't know the terrain of the grassland. It must have taken them a long time to get here. We will rest here for a few days. When they arrive here exhausted, it will be the best time to defeat them!"
He Lian knew that this was his home court and felt extremely confident.
Under his influence, the two generals also relaxed their minds and relaxed their vigilance, and even the number of scouts to spy on intelligence was much reduced.
On the other hand, shortly after Zhao Yun came out of seclusion, on Guo Jia's suggestion, he captured several Xianbei people to serve as guides.
These Xianbei people knew where the several large tribes were, and they even knew where the Xianbei royal court was located.
So along the way, Zhao Yun made no detours at all, and the army went straight forward and quickly approached Kuaiji Mountain.
However, when he arrived at the Jiluo Mountain area, Guo Jia took a look from a distance and said with a smile: "Zilong, the terrain here is steep, and the corner between two mountains is the most convenient for setting up an ambush."
"I heard that the Xianbei people have become unified in recent years. I guess there must be a resourceful person among the Xianbei people. So Xianbei will definitely not give up using such a dangerous place."
"If my prediction is correct, I'm afraid there will be an army of Xianbei people ambushing here."
Zhao Yun took a look and said: "This is indeed a good place to set up an ambush. However, the Xianbei people have always been stupid and like to attack head-on. I don't think they may set up an ambush here."
Guo Jia nodded and agreed with Zhao Yun's statement.
"What Zilong said makes sense, but to make sure nothing goes wrong, we'd better make sure."
So Guo Jia ordered the army to beat drums and shout. For a while, many wild beasts around were frightened and fled, but there was no movement at Najiluo Mountain.
Zhao Yun immediately glanced at Guo Jia in admiration: "The military advisor is really good at planning. If you hadn't reminded me, Yun almost fell into the trap. I don't know the military advisor. The terrain here is steep. How can we break the situation?"
Guo Jia immediately laughed: "Don't worry, Zilong, I have a plan in mind. There are several Xianbei tribes passing by in front of us. We have no offense with them, but now is not the time to be merciful."
"You send people to drive them over immediately. Come at night, we will ambush behind and let them pass first. The ambush soldiers above cannot see clearly what is happening below in the dark, so they must think that we have passed. After they rush down, we will charge directly to kill them.
Go up there and defeat it in one battle."
Hearing this, Zhan Yun immediately nodded and said, "The military advisor is really good at planning. With the military advisor here, we can defeat millions of soldiers. The Xianbei people will surely perish!"
So Zhan Yun immediately sent three thousand troops to the nearest tribe to drive some people over.
The Helian who was ambushing above had almost no defense in the past few days, and they almost didn't notice that Zhao Yun's army had arrived here. If it weren't for Zhao Yun's drum beating just now, many Wei soldiers might have escaped.
"These Han people are so stupid that they are beating drums here. Haha, when you pass, I will let you know how powerful I am Xianbei!"
He Lian was secretly proud of himself. He watched a small group of Wei generals leaving and did not take it seriously. He was still feeling complacent in his heart and was ready to use his own strategy.
Little did he know that his whereabouts had already been known to Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, and that he would be defeated tonight.
At night, the grassland is dark and quiet, except for the occasional howl of wolves.
The Xianbei people's horses were tightly controlled and almost made no sound.
On the top of the mountain, He Lian was dozing off with his two generals.
