One day later, Tadun received the news of the appearance of the Qingzhou fleet. Half of the eight sentries were lost, and only four came back.
As a Lord of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, Tadun certainly would not take this loss to heart. He sent out not only 100 teams but also 80 teams of such patrol teams. The scope of the investigation ranged from Yiwulu Mountain to Lulongsai. The loss
It doesn’t matter how many teams there are.
However, his heart tightened suddenly because the day that frightened him the most had finally arrived.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, please invite Mr. Ziyuan, Brother Yan and the others."
"As you command." Someone outside the tent responded, and the footsteps quickly faded away.
Tadun sat down cross-legged and looked up at the ceiling, his thoughts rising and falling.
This battle is very difficult, the enemy is too powerful, and there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
The cohesion of the Wuhuan people in western Liaoning is not much stronger than that of the Xianbei people. In a sense, they are very similar. I am a fake adult. The old Shanyu left a legacy to let me take his place first.
The squad leader still has to give the power to him.
Lou Ban is only five years old now. It will take at least ten years before he can take charge of his own affairs. It is said that by then the power in his hands will be stable, and there will be no need to talk about giving up his position.
But before his death, Lao Shanyu kept a careful eye on it. Taking He Lian's story as a reference, he divided the power in his hands into three parts, giving them to himself, Nanlou of Wuhuan in Shanggu and Su Puyan of Wuhuan in Liaodong.
A situation involving three parties was formed.
Although he has the reputation of acting on behalf of Chanyu and is slightly stronger than Nanlou and Su Buyan, as long as these two people join forces, he will not be able to compete, not to mention that they also have Lou Ban in their hands.
Now, there are only 7,000 cavalry in total that I can mobilize directly at the first time. However, because I have the name of Dai Chanyu, I have to be in the front after the war starts. It is not impossible to order Nanlou and the others to be in the front.
The problem is that these two people are not willing to do so, so they might work against each other, which would lead to bad things.
If the information is correct, the Han army's eastern expedition was mainly based on the complete annihilation of Qianman's Yulin army in Ma Tiliang, supplemented by the gale force cavalry that traveled across the border and captured more than 100,000 Xianbei tribesmen. In addition,
The unique naval force of the Han army was led by Tai Shici, the fierce general who severely wounded Yan Rou at the Baoqiu River, with a total of 30,000 troops.
In terms of numbers alone, our side has the upper hand, but if you look at the fierce battles of the Han army, it is clear which one is higher and which one is lower. The fighting strength is not as good as that of others, and now everyone has their own thoughts, how can this battle really be won?
Fight?
To be honest, Tadun didn't feel confident at all.
The reason why he still carried on despite knowing that he was not his opponent was that he was forced to have no way out by Wang Yu, and the arrangements Xu You had made one after another seemed to be quite reliable.
If the other party hadn't insisted on accepting it, Tadun actually wanted to hand over the command to Xu You. Since the other party could come up with so many good ideas, there should be no problem in implementing them, right? What a pity...
Thinking of Xu You, Xu You arrived, and just as he was thinking of regrets, a burst of unhurried footsteps sounded outside the tent, and then the tent door opened, and Xu You walked in with eight-character steps.
"You have met, sir." Xu You offered his hand and saluted Tadun.
"Mr. Ziyuan, do you also know?" Tadun was not that particular about etiquette. As soon as he saw Xu You, he shouted anxiously: "The Qingzhou Army is coming! The fleet has not arrived before the army arrives.
Come on, Tai Shici is still leading the team! Look, what is Wang Manzi’s idea? I thought about it again and again, but I can’t figure it out at all.”
"Haha," Xu You twisted his beard and smiled, and said confidently: "Don't worry, adults, this is a common trick used by children in Pengju - bluffing!"
"Yes, yes." Tadun nodded, but he had no intention of following Xu You's words and asking questions, which made Xu You hold his breath in his chest, feeling bored.
"Send a strong force of light cavalry to make a detour, publicize their story, divert the opponent's attention, and then take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack... Back then, Gong Yuan was unaware of it and fell into the thief's trick. In the end, he hated Gaotang and made him
All knowledgeable people in the world are sighing. Today, I have sent Taishi Ci as a pioneer, and he is probably repeating his old tricks."
Tadun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to praise Xu You, but unexpectedly the latter changed the topic and said: "Of course, the little thief is full of tricks, and he may have other plans..."
"What's the plot?" Tadun became nervous again.
"..." Xu You was speechless for a while, and was choked heavily.
If I had the ability to predict things like a god, I would have crushed that little thief Wang Yu to death long ago when I was assisting Yuan Shao. How could I have made him jump so happily?
My answer was just a routine way to boost morale, so that everyone would not feel unsure, at least they could treat it as confident. After more information was obtained, it would be time for formal discussions. Therefore, you should not say it to death, but leave some lingering flavor.
and thoughts.
If it had been Mr. Yuan or Liu Xuande, they would have known what was going on as soon as they heard this. How could they bother asking for help?
Therefore, being uneducated is terrible.
Tadun didn't know that he was despised by Xu You, who was very cultured. He stared at Xu You's face with bull's-eyes, waiting for the other party's clever plan to turn the tide, which put great pressure on the latter.
"Ahem, in short, troops are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. To make arbitrary assertions now is irresponsible to the soldiers... In short, we must verify the information again and again before we can make a conclusion."
"So you also... um, um." Tadun finally understood. He raised his hand and pointed at Xu You's nose, and was about to laugh. Fortunately, Qi Zhoulai was just in time and winked, letting him swallow the second half of the sentence.
You have to go back, otherwise the atmosphere will be awkward.
"Mr. Ziyuan made it very clear before. No matter how Wang Manzi designs it, we just have to act according to the established plan. Anyway, the situation is clear. Qingzhou has strong troops and horses. We can't force it. We just need to give full play to our advantages."
Qi Zhou smiled and smoothed things over: "Mr. Ziyuan, last time you said that when the Qingzhou army was still moving, you had a clever plan to use. At that time, you refused to make it known to the public in order to keep it secret, but now you can tell us.
Bar?"
When he mentioned this incident, Tadun's attention immediately shifted. Xu You thanked Qi Zhou with grateful eyes, then looked around the scene and said word by word: "What we have to do now is...send the envoy to surrender!"
"Please surrender? Now?" Tadun felt as if someone had hit him hard on the back of the head with a brick, and his eyes were filled with stars.
He did think about surrendering at first, but even if Yan Rou and Qi Zhou hadn't persuaded him, he would have missed the opportunity now.
Surrendering at that time was considered a surrender. Taking advantage of the Qingzhou Army's victory, he gave the opponent a double happiness, a double happiness, which could make the opponent look at him favorably.
But what now? The opponent's army is already ready to attack. Surrendering at this time is called an alliance under the city. It would be strange if others don't treat it as a coward or a coward.
Not only Tadun was surprised, Qi Zhou, Nan Lou and others who were present also looked at Xu You in disbelief.
"Yes, now." Xu You was very satisfied with the effect at this moment, and shocked everyone with his words. He had not enjoyed this feeling for a long, long time since he separated from Liu Bei.
After enjoying it for a moment, he stopped being mysterious and explained: "If the Xianbei army is defeated, Wuhuan will surrender immediately. If he is rejected, it will be rejected. It will not arouse the sympathy of others, nor will it have any impact on the mentality of Qingzhou's senior officials.
The influence, on the contrary, solidified the Qingzhou Army’s reputation of defeating the many with less and defeating Xianbei..."
He touched his goatee, shook his head and said: "And now? First of all, all the forces in Liaodong and the various tribes in Fortress will inevitably feel sad. Even the alliance under the city is unwilling to accept it. Who would be lucky enough to think that the Qingzhou Army
Is it a rumor that we always kill hostile forces? Moreover, this may have the effect of arrogating the enemy. As the saying goes, showing the enemy weakness can defeat the strong."
"That's it!" Tadun and others suddenly realized.
They didn't really understand what Xu You said before, but they also understood how to show weakness to the enemy and use it to make the enemy proud: if you can't beat someone, you should try your best to pretend to be a grandson and make others look down upon you. When you look back and find an opportunity, you can bite back again.
This is a specialty of prairie people.
"As I expected, your envoy will definitely be rejected. Therefore, when the envoy sets out, he must make a big show of it...Although the Xianbei army was defeated, Murong and Tuoba both saved most of their troops, and there are others
General Ziyu still has 10,000 elite cavalry under his command. Although he is unable to attack Youzhou to contain the small thieves, it is still possible to encourage all the tribes in the fortress to attack the Qingzhou army's rear route together."
This time, Xu You finally got into the hearts of Tadun and others. This is the authentic prairie people's tactics.
Instead of engaging in head-to-head confrontations, they tire out the enemy and harass the enemy, and at the same time win over and collude with other tribes. At first, these tribes may stay out of the matter, but when they find that the enemy has no way to use these methods and expose their flaws, the wolf nature in their bones will be revealed.
Tadun does not expect to follow Tan Shihuai and become the overlord of the grassland, but as long as this battle is fought successfully and the Qingzhou Army is successfully forced back, he will become the well-deserved overlord of Liaodong. Even Gongsundu, who has been bullying the various tribes in Liaodong,
From now on I will have to look at his eyes more or less.
Xu You later talked about how to harass, how to ambush and so on, but Tadun and others had no interest in listening.
They have long memorized these tactics. Back then, Gongsun Zan pursued the old Shan Yuqiu Liju fiercely, but in the end he was defeated by this trick. Wasn't it true that he was fighting like this!
After Xu You finally finished speaking, Tadun said with a smile: "Mr. Ziyuan is really smart and eloquent. The tribe is full of rough people. I don't know if I will get into trouble when I go on an envoy or something. Why don't I
How about taking a trip with Mr. Ziyuan?"
When he heard the first sentence, Xu You was angry and funny. How could he be a eloquent person in the end after offering such a clever plan? When he heard the second sentence, he was so frightened that he shuddered and his face turned pale.
Are you kidding, go by yourself? Isn't that sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Wang Xiaothief probably hates himself so much that his teeth itch. Seeing him coming to the door, how can he care about the rules of war between two countries and not to kill envoys?
He quickly looked for excuses, but fortunately Yan Rou and Qi Zhou knew his difficulties and helped to persuade him, so he persuaded Tadun to give up his idea, and finally chose a somewhat dumbfounded envoy at random.
There was no reply for several days after leaving. Xu You felt unsure, and Tadun and others were even more uneasy, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Finally, on the sixth day after the envoy was sent, the sentry at the front sent back the news, which made everyone wild with joy.
"The little thief fell into the trap and actually sent an unknown person to take charge. In this battle, the Qingzhou Army will definitely be defeated!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
