The Yinshan Mountains are like a dividing line, accurately dividing the Central Plains from the Great Wall.
After entering the mountainous area, the snow kept falling and it was endless.
The army has been walking in the snow for two days, and there is still at least half of the way ahead. As far as Qin Feng's experience is concerned, even the Ding Ling people, who are famous for their resistance to freezing, dare not act like this in the snow. Marching intermittently.
Fortunately, the soldiers accompanying the army are basically from Northern Hebei or Youzhou. Otherwise, even after rigorous training, Qin Feng cannot guarantee whether there will be a large non-combat attrition. In the winter in Saibei, it is not just about endurance. I can survive it.
"Does it still have to be far away? In this crazy weather, you can't even see the shadow of the sun! No wonder it's called Baishan. Look at it, this snow can last a whole winter." Although Qin Feng is a veteran frontier soldier, Qin Feng is basically I have never been to Baishan Mountain because Gongsun Zan’s battle direction has never been here.
After Tan Shihuai's death, Xianbei has been in disintegration, especially in central Xianbei. In a year, there are at least a dozen large-scale civil wars involving tens of thousands of people, so it is natural for him to stand aside. Therefore, the threat is far less than the strength. Gongsun Zan naturally had no time to pay attention to Wuwan and Dongfang Xianbei, who were dissatisfied but always remained united.
After Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou, Youzhou was divided into two parts, roughly bounded by the Lu River. The four and a half counties in the west were Liu Yu's sphere of influence, and the two and a half counties in the east belonged to Gongsun Zan. In Hebei Before the war, the two sides had always been clearly divided. Of course, Qin Feng had no chance to come to Daijun.
"At this speed, I'm afraid we still have to walk for two or three days. Fortunately, General Zhao has many horses to make enough rotations." Tian Yu, on the right side of Qin Feng, replied while wiping the snow on his face.
The snow is too heavy. It has accumulated since the beginning of winter, and the thick layer of snow is covered with ice. The horses and riders will fall heavily if they are not careful. Fortunately, the soldiers grew up on the fortress, and they were like Hu from childhood. Once you are used to riding a horse, you will not immediately lose the courage to climb back on the saddle after falling.
"Lu Yuan is tired. Even if he wins by chance, his gains are not worth boasting about. If he fails, then..." Qin Feng exhaled a white breath and looked at Tian Yu with a strong sense of doubt in his eyes: "Guorang, you Did he really break out from Juyong City? Did he bring the general’s warrant with him?”
From the beginning, he did not agree with the proposal of a long-distance attack.
According to what Tian Yu said, in the battle of Juyong City, Gongsun's army was besieged by the Hulu army when it was exhausted after a long battle. Although he fought hard and killed many people, the Hu people did not take much advantage, but in the end the majority were defeated. Outnumbered, only a few thousand remaining soldiers retreated into the isolated city. The situation was extremely critical.
The news of Zhao Yun's attack on Daijun to counter Gongsun's army had been reported to Gongsun Zan before the war. At that critical moment, Gongsun Zan sent Tian Yu to break out and attack Daijun. It was obviously reasonable to ask for reinforcements.
But Tian Yu said that Gongsun Zan suggested that Zhao Yun go out of the fortress and attack the Xianbei tribe for a long distance. If he didn't understand Tian Yu's character and knew that the other party would not rebel and surrender to the Hulu, Qin Feng really had the urge to capture the other party and torture him severely.
This suggestion is clearly unreasonable!
Along with the Xianbei army, many tribes entered the pass, some large and some small. These tribes are now scattered all over the country, and the cities of Zhuolu, Xialuo, Panxian and other counties are all under their control. The entire Shanggu County is full of smoke and smoke.
If you want to attack the rear of the Xianbei people, these tribes are very good targets. The Hulu cannot defend the city, and it is useless to occupy the county seat. With Zhao Yun's commanding ability and the elite gale force cavalry, what will happen to the Xianbei tribe who swept through Shanggu County? Disaster?
Through this kind of tactics, the Xianbei army under Juyong City can be effectively contained. It is safer than going to the rescue directly, and it is much more reliable than going out to attack Danhan Mountain or something like that!
Even if they have concerns about the Xianbei people's superior strength and mobility, there are other strategies to choose from. After the Juyong Battle, the Xianbei people quickly divided their forces and went south, passing through Dangcheng, Daixian, and Feihu Road, all the way to Guangchang City.
.
There should be a Yulin Army guarding Guangchang. If the Gale Cavalry cooperates well, they might have the opportunity to engage in a flanking attack with the Yulin Army, catch a turtle in a jar, and annihilate the Xianbei Army on Feihu Road.
Relatively speaking, the strategy of sneaking out of the fortress to attack Danhan Mountain is simply weak.
Yes, Danhan Mountain is the location of the royal tent of the Xianbei people, and it has extraordinary significance.
However, the rules of the grassland are different from those in the Central Plains. The Xianbei people are nomadic and will not always stay in one place. Only in spring and summer, when the water and grass are the most luxuriant, will the Xianbei royal tent appear in Danhan Mountain. At other times,
, most of the king's tents also have no fixed residence.
If there was no one in Danhan Mountain, this attack would have become a complete joke. Huo Qiaoqi sealed Langjuxu and gained his fame because he defeated the Huns in the Langjuxu Mountain, a place of special significance.
, its meaning is just like someone breaking into Chang'an or Luoyang and annihilating the emperor's imperial camp.
If it were to be like the situation in the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo and the Emperor had both left, and Luoyang would be left with only an empty city. What would be the use of occupying it? At most, it would be used as a talking point for celebrities to talk and brag about.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not understand the suggestions conveyed by Tian Yu. Coupled with the concern for his old master, his mood was like the weather at the moment, dark and gloomy, with wind and snow.
In such a mood, Qin Feng's tone of course could not be polite, and his questioning was like interrogating a prisoner. If he were a person with a bad temper, he would not be able to retort or look at him coldly, but Tian Yu showed that he was completely different from his age.
Consistent cultivation and city government.
"General Qin is over-concerned." In the wind and snow, he showed a warm and spring-like smile: "My lord sent me here to ask for help and lead the way. It was actually after repeated deliberation. It is true that with the combat power of the Gale Cavalry, if it is contained with all its heart,
It can also cause considerable trouble to the Xianbei people, but it will only be of limited help to the overall war situation."
"Oh? Brother Guorang, please tell me in detail." Zhao Yun, who had been walking silently, turned around.
Because he had not spoken or moved much, his helmet and even his eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost, which looked very funny. But neither Tian Yu nor Qin Feng had the intention to laugh. It was precisely because of Zhao Yunshen's role as a leader.
, this troop marched a long distance under such harsh conditions, but its morale was able to remain at the same level as when it set out.
"Xianbei reunited. It should be due to the concerns of the fortress generals about the hussar generals and the result of Xu You's lobbying. Now that the Xianbei people are here, the Wuwan people will not be willing to be lonely. If it weren't for Fuyu, Ding Ling
There is a deep feud with Xianbei, and Goguryeo was suppressed miserably by the Liaodong governor. I'm afraid there are more enemies coming to help..."
"After the defeat of the Youzhou Army, the Han Army will be fully attacked. Just as the main force of Xianbei divided its forces to attack Feihu Road, the Wuwan people will definitely attack the eastern front. If the Hussar General is eager to save people, he will fall into the trap of the Hulu.
When the war started, we were attacked everywhere, and finally we showed our flaws and the barbarians took advantage of them."
"Therefore, my lord believes that, whether directly or indirectly, as long as General Zilong is involved in the rescue operation, the consequence will be that the main force of the entire Qingzhou Army will be involved successively, resulting in no absolute advantage on any battlefield, and the final fight will be fought as one
A war of attrition. The Xianbei people’s overall strategy is based on this premise.”
Qin Feng asked in surprise: "Competing with my army? There are only a few men on the grassland. How dare they?"
"Don't forget, with Xu You here, the Hulu have a clear understanding of the situation in the Central Plains. They know that they are only facing the Qing and You families now. The other princes in the Central Plains will not only not help, but will add insult to injury. In addition..."
Tian Yu explained: "Consuming more small and medium-sized tribes will also be very beneficial to the Xianbei coaches."
"How do you say this?" Qin Feng was surprised. Zhao Yun had a thoughtful look on his face.
"The civil strife in Xianbei has lasted for too long. Even without Qianman and Kuitou competing for the position. Several famous adults are willing to obey orders. Xianbei will not be able to return to the situation in the Tanshihuai era..."
History always has all kinds of coincidences. During the Three Kingdoms era, the Central Plains was plunged into long-term wars. Coincidentally, Xianbei in this era also became torn apart.
As long as you are ambitious and can recruit a team of people, you can find a place to become king and dominate. This happens not only in the Central Plains, but also in the grasslands. Because the grasslands are too vast and have a relatively small population, this
The scale and complexity of this chaos are also greater.
Gongsun Zan believed that although Xianbei reunited, it was only a special effect produced by Liu Yu's reputation on the grassland, Xu You's eloquence, and the strong pressure brought by the Qingzhou Army.
Even if the battle is won, as long as the Qingzhou Army is not severely damaged and cannot take advantage of the situation to invade Jizhou, or the battle is lost and Wang Yu does not pursue the grassland, the Xianbei people will soon return to their previous state.
Although the Hu people generally have low IQs, tribal leaders such as Kuitou, Qian Man, and Murong Feng are not fools. It is impossible for them to have no ideas.
"So, the Xianbei people have made some preparations. In the worst case scenario, they will take the opportunity to complete the purpose of integrating the tribes. The tribes who entered the pass with the army are not the direct descendants of the leaders, but come to take advantage of the situation and rob the king's account.
Those small tribes that work against each other's leaders. Using these disobedient tribes to consume the Han army is a very good deal for Xianbei's senior officials."
Tian Yu said in a deep voice: "If General Zilong attacks Shanggu, on the surface he will contain Xianbei's troops, but in fact he will play into the hands of the Xianbei people. It will also be easy for him to send wrong signals to General Hussar, causing him to misunderstand the situation of the battle.
Produce wrong judgment!”
This is very likely to happen. Due to the all-out invasion of Hu Qi, the strength of the Qingzhou Army has become less abundant. Wang Yu has no way to concentrate all his efforts to break the siege of Juyong. He will only lead as many troops as possible according to the changes in the battle situation.
Send more troops to help.
If Zhao Yun enters Shanggu to fight, Jixian will definitely get the news, and he will probably infer that Xianbei must send troops to help, and draw up a battle plan based on this. But in fact, the Xianbei people don't care much about those tribes, which leads to a misjudgment
.
Maybe, Wang Yu might even get involved with him.
Wanting to understand the reason, Zhao Yun was also amazed: "Did General Gongsun think so far-reaching during the Battle of Juyong?"
"The Lord said that it was his fault that he lost the battle, and he could pay the price to make up for it, but if General Hussar and the common people of the Han Dynasty were implicated by him and paid a heavy price, his sin would be greater. Therefore, he hopes that General Zilong will
Don’t go to Shanggu, but go out of the fortress to find the Xianbei King’s tent! According to my lord’s judgment, the Xianbei King’s tent is most likely located in Danhan Mountain!” (To be continued...)
