War can be such a comedy sometimes. Yesterday, a roar broke out in the Hu camp, which lasted until dawn. Hundreds of thousands of Hu people were killed and wounded more than half of them overnight, completely shattering the Hu people's dream of entering Youzhou from Juyong Pass.
And Gongsun Zan also won a great victory in vain, and captured countless cattle, sheep and horses without spending a single soldier.
The victory at Juyongguan also relieved the pressure on other borders of Youzhou. At the same time, four thousand infantry led by Liu Bei arrived in time to support them.
Youzhou, which was still in trouble, instantly reversed course and began to suppress the barbarians, driving all the barbarians back fifty miles away from the border of Youzhou.
In the territory of the Wuhuan tribe, the base camp of the three-ethnic coalition was established here. After the defeat, Kebi Neng took the remaining Hu people back to the base camp of the Hu coalition army.
"Why are you Xianbei people so useless?" A leader of the Wushi Xiongnu tribe pointed at Kebineng and cursed.
Although the Hu people divided their forces to attack Youzhou, the main forces were all concentrated at Juyong Pass.
Now you tell us that there was a camp roar and half of our own people were hacked to death!
That’s not just one or two people, it’s tens of thousands of people!
Tens of thousands of people died at the hands of their own people!
Originally, the Huns had come all the way, and because they had been unable to capture Youzhou, they couldn't help but become grumpy.
However, the Xianbei people were wrong and did not reply when the Huns pointed their noses at them and scolded them.
"Everyone, listen to me. Gongsun Zan has won a great victory. He must be busy celebrating now. As long as we attack the people on other fronts again and attack Juyong Pass, we will definitely be able to break through and enter Youzhou!" He lost too confused this time!
However, the camp roar broke out. Kebineng refused to accept it and wanted to gather the remaining barbarians to attack Juyong Pass again.
"Report!" Just as Kebineng finished speaking, a scout from the Wuzhi Xiongnu rushed in from outside and whispered in the ear of the leader of the Wuzhi Xiongnu.
"What!"
"Is the information you said accurate?" the leader of the Wuzhi Xiongnu directly grabbed the soldier who reported to him and roared.
The scouts told Bingzhou that Lu Bu had wiped out the Huns who were going south, and sent troops to attack their home base. You must know that for this southward expedition, the Huns had sent out all their elites, and those who stayed behind were all old, weak, women and children, without any fighting ability.
.
"True leader, please come back quickly!" the Huns almost cried. His wife and children were also on the grassland.
"Let's go back to the tribe immediately!" The leader of the Wushi Huns immediately retreated and prepared to return to the grassland of their tribe.
Others looked confused and didn't know what was happening.
But then the Xiongnu scouts kept coming to report, and the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes all changed their expressions and immediately withdrew their troops and returned.
Only Wuhuan and Xianbei remained in the huge three-community alliance.
Without the Huns, the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes would not be able to capture Youzhou, and they would also have to worry about Gongsun Zan's revenge after the war.
Not only did they fail to grab food this time, but they also lost tens of thousands of troops. It would take two or three years for the barbarian tribes to recover.
However, this time the strategic goal was achieved and the food crisis was solved.
How can we not solve the food crisis when so many people have died?
The alliance between the three tribes broke up unhappy because of this.
"Chief, what should we do?" one of Kebineng's confidants asked.
"We can't go back to the tribe. Let's go to Jizhou and join the Han people." Their tribe is different from other tribes. They are too close to Youzhou. If Gongsun Zan goes back, they will be the first to take revenge.
I heard that Yuan Shaonai of Jizhou was the Fourth and Third Duke, so it might be a good choice to join them.
In Yecheng, Jizhou.
"Xu You, the Hu people have retreated from the border of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan did not die in the hands of the Hu people. Your plan has been ruined." Tian Feng mocked Xu You.
"Hmph, where did my plan go wrong? Didn't Gongsun Zan suffer heavy damage? This will not be a good thing for my lord to take Youzhou in the future?" Xu You glanced at Tian Feng and said disapprovingly.
"Yes, yes, Gongsun Zan suffered heavy injuries, but compared to Youzhou's reputation, this is a small loss. You, Xu You, are short-sighted!" When Tian Feng heard Xu You's words, he was so angry that he yelled. This discerning person could tell at a glance.
Which one is more important, you Xu You still don’t know.
"Hey, I regret not listening to Yuan Hao's words." Yuan Shao lamented with some regret. It would be fine if Xu You's plan succeeded, but without Tian Feng's protection, if he started to listen to Tian Feng to support Jizhou, he would not only be in Youzhou
The state can gain a lot of prestige, and the people's voice can also be overwhelming in other areas, and the world will definitely praise him as a righteous person.
This matter is indeed hasty, a small loss is a big loss, a small loss is a big loss.
"Yuan Hao, what should we do now?" Yuan Shao asked Tian Feng.
When Tian Feng heard that Yuan Shao took the initiative to ask him questions, he was overjoyed. This proved that his ability was gradually recognized by Yuan Shao.
"Back to my lord, there is no way to remedy it. It's just that the best opportunity has been missed, and the effect will definitely be worse than the original." Tian Feng thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh? There is actually a remedy. Yuan Hao will tell you quickly."
"Lord, our army has received a secret report. Lu Bu's subordinate Zhang Liao, Gaoshun, Cheng Lian and three generals led eight thousand cavalry to attack the Xiongnu lair. Moreover, Lu Bu himself also led his troops to bypass our northern grassland in Jizhou, preparing to intercept and return.
of the Huns.”
Tian Feng said while thinking.
Yuan Shao nodded thoughtfully. He knew this. If Lu Bu hadn't stabbed the Xiongnu's hometown, the war on the Youzhou border would have continued for at least three days.
It can be said that Lu Bu indirectly saved Youzhou from the disaster.
"My lord, the Huns are in large numbers. Lu Bu's army will never be able to annihilate them all. We can follow Lu Bu's example in intercepting the Huns and give them a fatal blow. This time we will not annihilate the Huns, but we can also defeat them at least twice.
In ten years, they have been unable to invade our Han land."
"At the same time, the lord also needs to issue an announcement, saying that due to the obstruction of Han Fu's old troops, our army intends to support but is unable to do so. He will pour dirty water on Han Fu's old troops and weaken their reputation among the people, so that the lord can control Jizhou faster!
"
Tian Feng told Yuan Shao one by one about the strategies he could think of that would benefit Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he touched one side of his mustache and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt about Tian Feng's excellence.
If we follow what Tian Feng said, the heavy damage to the Xiongnu is secondary. The main thing is to gain prestige among the people. Yuan Shao has so many people coming to seek refuge. Isn't it because of his title of Fourth Generation and Three Dukes?
Moreover, Tian Feng's plan can also weaken the reputation of hostile forces among the people and consolidate his dominance in Jizhou.
"What a plan, what a plan!" Tian Feng's plan made Yuan Shao couldn't help but applaud.
"This is what we should do as counselors." Tian Feng put his hands together and bowed slightly, and at the same time turned to Xu You.
As if you were showing off to Xu You, did you see that it doesn’t matter if you came early, it’s me who is favored now!
Xu You, on the other hand, snorted coldly, turned his head to the side, and ignored the two of them.
