The mental journey that Wang Yu and his generals went through was not known to outsiders, but the news of Juyong's victory was blown by the strong wind. With the defeat of the Xianbei army, it spread throughout Youzhou in the blink of an eye.
Yu Jin and Tadun got the news almost in no particular order.
The former encountered the scouts sent by Wang Yu during the march, so he changed the emergency march to a dragnet-style advance and began to clear out the remaining Huqi in Shanggu and Daijun to consolidate the security in the territory.
The latter received several messages with completely opposite meanings within ten days, and his mood was as ups and downs as if he had been on a roller coaster.
The first letter was the intelligence of Jixian's informants to ensure safety before Wang Yu suddenly sent troops. Because Wang Yu closed the city at that time and arranged some rangers to intercept and kill on the road, forcing the messenger to make a large circle, which slowed down the journey.
, after leaving the city with Wang Yu, the second urgent report from Neiying was rushed forward and backward.
The two letters made Tadun feel like he was on a swing, he was up and down, and he could not sit still.
What is the power of holding the corner?
What is a separate attack?
Before the Battle of Juyong, the two armies of Xianbei and Wuwan assumed such a posture. They must fully understand the movements of the other side and the enemy, so that they can respond in time and echo the actions of the other side.
When Xianbei began to lure Han people out of the fortress, Tadun had already realized that this trip to the south would probably be in vain. However, he would not be discouraged. He broke into the border wall and was driven away by the Han army.
This is a behavior he and his predecessors have repeated countless times. The beginning and result are the same every time, but the only difference is the process and results.
The gains from this operation were not small, but not too much. Although Lulongsai was successfully breached, in Youbeiping, Liaoxi rampaged unscrupulously for a while, and once even invaded Yuyang territory.
But Youbeiping and Liaoxi are not wealthy places, with a small population, but there are many people who come as vassals to make a living. The little things they grab are not enough to consume on the road.
There was no other way. After the Hebei War, Gongsun Zan moved his headquarters to Hejian County. Many Han people who had family members in the army followed him, and most of the people who stayed were Zahu.
Originally, Yuyang was a relatively densely populated place in Youzhou, but Yan Rou suffered a huge defeat just after Wuwan's army entered Yuyang. The 20,000-strong army was beaten to pieces by Taishi Ci and the Qingzhou army.
.
Tadun shivered and took his feet back.
That's Yan Rou! Captain Karasuma, there are countless heroes on the wall, although Tadun also prides himself on being brave, but he doesn't think he is much better than Yan Rou, at most he is just a little bit more clever. Yan Rou was defeated so miserably,
Can he sit back and relax?
Taishi Ci alone is nothing to be afraid of. Sneak attacks cannot be used as conventional tactics. As long as you have learned a lesson, you can avoid them. The key is that there is Qingzhou's main army behind Taishi Ci!
If all those 50,000 troops were of the level of a surprise attack force, my own 40,000 troops would really not be enough, even if the other party only contributed half of their strength.
He did not retreat immediately, mainly to deal with the Xianbei people.
Different from the Xianbei people who live in pursuit of water and grass and still maintain their nomadic nature, although they are both descendants of Donghu, the Wuwan people have surrendered and annexed them as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They are similar to the Huns of the Eastern Han Dynasty and are semi-nomadic.
Semi-agrarian state.
The Xianbei people were defeated in Youzhou and were pursued by the Han army. They could flee as far as they wanted to the depths of the grassland. Tanshihuai's great victory over the Han army was the result of the withdrawal of two thousand people.
After more than a mile, the counterattack was launched.
Wuwan people do not have such convenient conditions. They have already settled in the frontier garrison. In addition to Tadun, a Wuhuan master in western Liaoning, there are Wuwan people living in Shanggu, Yuyang, Daijun, and Youbeiping, and the army of Zahu
Among them, nearly half are Wuhuan people.
Tadun's current stronghold is also located in Liucheng, Changli County. If Wang Yu drives away the Xianbei people and raises troops to retaliate, he can't just slap his ass and run away like the Xianbei people. He can only choose between fighting to the death or leaving his hometown and becoming homeless.
.
Therefore, helping the Xianbei people to contain the Han army now is just to help themselves. If he escapes now, he will not expect the Xianbei people to help him in the future. The reason is that simple.
For Tadun, the best thing is for Wang Yu to stay calm in Jixian. Of course, if he divides his troops and marches westward, it would be good to attack the large numbers with a few. The worst thing is what is happening now, where the whole army suddenly attacks and then disappears to an unknown place.
?Can this be considered intelligence?
He hesitated and asked Yan Rou and Qi Zhou for advice. These two were also frightened by Wang Yu. Together, they came up with many possibilities, such as suspecting soldiers, luring the enemy, and the interplay of false and true.
Anyway, Tadun became more and more confused the more he listened.
Seven days passed after this hesitation. On the eighth day, Tadun finally showed the courage of Master Wuhuan of Western Liaoning and decided to take a risk and attack Jixian with his entire army.
As a result, the army was preparing for an expedition, and the third urgent report arrived. This time it was the internal commander of Jixian County himself. The news brought was, of course, the news that the Han army had won a great victory in Juyong and that the Xianbei army had been completely defeated.
As if someone had hit him hard on the back of the head with a hammer, there was a buzzing sound in Tadun's head, and his vision suddenly went dark. This news is really shocking. It has only been a few days? Including the spy investigation and on the road.
In terms of time spent, the Han army spent at most one day marching, and then it took half a day to defeat Xianbei's 100,000-strong army?
"How is it possible!?" Yan Rou cried out for him, "That was an army of 100,000 people, and the leader was not crazy. How could it be defeated in one breath? Didn't the Han Qingzhou Army only have 20,000 people?
?Even if they really come out in force, they can't be so powerful, right?"
"actually……"
"That's right, Ahu. Didn't your previous letter say that the Han army has been standing still in the city? If they had the ability to defeat the Xianbei army in one fell swoop, why didn't they do it earlier? Why did they delay it so late?" The messenger was about to speak.
Tadun asked as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"I don't even know about this," the messenger said with a sad face. He was also confused. If he could guess what Wang Yu was thinking, he wouldn't be able to just act as an informer.
"Could it be that Wang Yu used some clever trick? Was it a sneak attack? Or was it arson or water attack? Or...does he really know how to summon wind and rain, move mountains and fill seas?" Qi Zhou did not dwell on the authenticity of the information, but
I engaged in divergent thinking and seriously thought about Wang Yu’s way of winning.
From what he knew, with the disparity in military strength to such an extent, the only way to turn things around was the above method. But he made a mistake in his busy schedule and did not consider at all how much fire was required for the Xianbei army's camp to be encamped for thirty miles in this cold weather.
Only then could they be burned down in one fell swoop. I didn’t expect that even the sea water was frozen, so how could Wang Yu use the water attack strategy?
"No, it's not!" The messenger finally heard the question that could be answered. He said at a speed that was a hundred times more fluent than before: "According to the news that the villain heard, the battle was actually very simple. It was the Han army attacking overnight.
, the Xianbei army formed a formation to fight, and then the Han army rushed forward in a swarm. After fighting for half a day, the Xianbei people were defeated..."
"Huh?" Tadun opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible..." Yan Rou seemed to be stunned, shaking her head vigorously, shaking the pigtails on her head like a merry-go-round, muttering to herself, as if she had lost it.
Same as my son's sister-in-law Xianglin.
"This, this..." Qi Zhou's lips trembled for a long time, and finally he spat out a few words: "So there is such a clever trick!"
"Gudong!" Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud noise. When he turned around, he saw that he had sat down on the ground.
After hesitating and struggling for so many days, I suddenly heard such unbelievable bad news. Even though Tadun is a determined person, he couldn't hold on anymore. The shock was too great, and it came one after another after being tortured.
The damage caused by the blow is definitely double.
I don't know how long it took for a few people to regain consciousness and start to ask in detail about the battle. The informant actually knew very little. He only knew that the contact with the upper valley was interrupted, and then he asked about the battle situation from a few defeated soldiers who were panicking.
.
"It should be right. Now Taishi Ci and Wei Yan's Hidden Mist Army are searching everywhere, and they will kill those who see Kuntou. Unless they are quick enough to throw away their weapons before the Han army comes, and kneel down to ask for surrender, otherwise
There is only one way to die... It is said that Zhao Yun who went out of the fortress also fought fiercely. Lord Mika was killed, Bu Dugen was captured, and the entire Xianbei King's tent was captured..."
Before listening, Tadun and others were twitching, but after listening, they were only trembling.
Tadun was frightened, Yan Rou, and Qi Zhou were even more frightened, and suggested: "It's better to retreat in time."
If they hadn't mentioned it, Tadun might have given the order himself. But now that Yan Rou and Yan Rou mentioned it, he hesitated a little: "Just leave like this? I mobilized troops, but it was in vain. I, the lord, go back,
How to face the elders of the clan?"
"..." Yan Rou glanced at each other, wondering if Tadun was so frightened that he went crazy. Is he still thinking about this? He asked tentatively: "What do you mean, sir? I want to take advantage of the main force of the Han army."
Are you tired, just grab a handful and go?"
"That's not true." Tadun shook his head in panic, joking. The Han army's combat power was already incredible. They didn't even form a formation. They could defeat Xianbei's 100,000 troops if they rushed forward in a swarm. What was he worth?
If you don't retreat quickly, if you get entangled or your retreat is cut off, you will definitely die in an ugly way.
"Then what your lord means is..."
"We have to find a way out, right?" Tadun said hesitantly: "I don't know yet whether the Han army will retaliate, but if Wang Yu comes, we will definitely not be able to win. This is correct, right? I'm here
I wonder if Bu Dugen is not dead yet, can we..."
"Sir, do you want to surrender?" Yan Rou jumped up and exclaimed.
"Otherwise, what should I do? I can't fight anymore, and I can't run anywhere. I can't hold on to the end, right?" Tadun said with a sad face.
Yan Rou fell silent.
Tadun was afraid, so he was not afraid, but the problem was that if Tadun surrendered, he might still have a way to survive, but he had no way to survive at all. Wang Yu called him, Liu Yu, and Xian Yufu a traitor and arrested him
It would be strange if he didn't get cut to pieces by a thousand knives.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty wants to surrender, that is unthinkable, but your Majesty must think clearly. Wang Yu is no better than the Han people that your Majesty has dealt with before, and he will not change his ways easily. Surrendering to him is definitely not an option.
Just give some gifts, say some nice words, and just show off..."
"Then what does he want?" Tadun said in a panic: "Otherwise, I will send Lou Ban to him as a hostage?"
Lou Ban was the son of Qiu Liju, and Tadun was just a follower. He was only able to take power because of his young age. Sending Lou Ban as a hostage would kill two birds with one stone for him.
"It's useless." Yan Rou looked at her with pity, shook her head and sighed: "Wang Yu doesn't care about face, he only cares about reality. If you think about it, he dares to swear not to proclaim himself emperor, and would rather be a real and nameless emperor.
Does he care about your proton?"
"Then what does he want?" Tadun became more and more anxious.
"Your power, your tribe, and your land! I only have one life left for you!" Yan Rou said this without any basis. She just wanted to scare Tadun, but she and Wang Yu were the ones who pacified Northern Xinjiang.
The ideas coincided.
Tadun was dumbfounded in shock. If he had never held power, he might have agreed to this condition. Now that he had held power for several years, how could he be willing to give it up? With only one life left? Let himself go back to herding and hunting to make a living?
Seeing Tadun's psychological changes with cold eyes, Yan Rou said in time: "If you don't dislike Yan Rou, I have an idea here."
"Seriously?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Tadun's eyes.
"Actually..." Yan Rou leaned into Tadun's ear and whispered, making Tadun nod repeatedly.
By the time the two separated, Tadun had returned to his usual demeanor and waved his hand vigorously: "Send the order, withdraw the troops, and return to Liucheng!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
