Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 582 The goal of the Xianbei Army

  A 10,000-strong army from Xianbei crossed the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and rushed south. Xihe Cui Jun urgently sent a messenger to ask for help.

  In Pingyang City, in the lobby of the government office, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Jia Qu and Xu Shu presided over the discussion. The two were discussing the terrain of Xihe County and Feiqian's Pingyang, as well as the possible attack direction of the Xianbei army. There are endless debates on the details of setting up sentries and so on.

  In the lobby, the atmosphere seemed to suddenly become tense, and the dark clouds of war shrouded the sky.

  People are always subconsciously afraid of things they don’t understand.

  It’s like in ancient times, when people didn’t know where natural forces like wind, rain, thunder and lightning came from, they developed mysticism. When thunder rumbles and lightning scorches, people will inevitably feel fear.

   But later, when I knew how it happened, the fear in my heart was greatly reduced...

  The same is true for Xianbei for the current Han people.

  Because I lost a few times, so now I have no energy.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also wanted to get a comment from a talented and generous emperor, so when Xianbei robbed the northern land, he planned a big operation, ordering Xia Yu, the captain of Huwuhuan, to destroy Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Yan, Xiongnu Zhong General Zang Min led more than 10,000 cavalry each, and marched out from Gaoliu, Yunzhong, and Yanmen counties to attack Xianbei in three ways.

  The mighty Han army went out for more than 2,000 miles, but was ordered by the leader of the Xianbei at that time, Tan Shihuai, to lead the three masters from the East, Central, and West to fight separately, and defeated the Han army...

After all, Emperor Han Ling is not as stubborn as Emperor Wu of Han, nor does he have the confidence of Emperor Wu of Han. After all, the problem of Xiqiang has not been resolved, so he doesn't have much power to deal with Xianbei's affairs. Therefore, for the north of Bingzhou The area gradually moved inward, so it fell into disuse.

   This time when Xianbei went south, Fei Qian asked Xu Shu to introduce the specific situation on his behalf, but he suddenly felt a little lost and thought of another question.

  In history, after the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin, the national power was not too bad, but...

  Fei latently searched in his mind, um, the Rebellion of Eight Kings?

  In fact, China pays great attention to history. Those who understand history and know how to read history are all good people. When Liu Bang founded the country, there was a chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. Sima, a stupid horse, didn’t know the lessons from the past?

   It’s no wonder that after the emperors of later generations came to power, the first thing they did was to collect all kinds of crimes to kill the founding minister...

  Fei Qian's thinking was jumping.

   But having said that, Xianbei is actually extremely afraid of the Han people. Just like the Qing soldiers entering the customs in later generations, many ethnic minorities have the same idea. There are too many Han people, what to do?

kill!

  For example, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, don't think that the reform of Emperor Xiaowen proves that the Xianbei nobles are very good to the Han people. When the Northern Wei army fought, they often put the non-Xianbei troops in the front to charge, and the Xianbei cavalry drove in the rear.

  For example, in the Qing Dynasty, don’t think that the four elder brothers and five elder brothers on TV were handsome and thought that they were good to the aborigines. When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, many braids had the idea of ​​killing and looting and burning them all, and then returned to the third eastern province with their belongings.

  …

"Zhonglang?" Xu Shu looked at Fei Qian, who seemed to be out of control, and couldn't help but shouted a little nervously, "Zhonglang...what are you worried about?" It's a good thing, why is Fei Qianfei Zhonglang like this...

  Fei Qian came back to his senses with an "oh", looked around, saw that everyone was staring at him, laughed twice, and said, "It's okay, I thought of something fun..."

   "..." Everyone including Xu Shu was silent.

"Okay, let's talk about the fun stuff later, let's talk about the serious stuff first," Fei Qian's thick-skinned face would not be affected by this gaze, and he said immediately, "...two questions, one is why the Northland repeatedly Lost and unable to hold on? Second, why did you send troops to Saibei, and most of them ended in defeat?"

Jia Qu suddenly had a feeling, and felt in his heart that he really deserved to be Fei Zhonglang. When everyone was still thinking about how to deal with Xianbei's southward move this time, Fei Zhonglang was actually thinking about the overall policy and strategy for the Northland. It seems that his own thinking The way and method of the problem still needs to be improved...

Fei Qian didn't put on any airs, and said directly: "I will just talk about my opinion. If there are any deficiencies, everyone will add it. The northern land is barren and the land is not abundant. It is like chicken ribs. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it. Building a city to garrison troops cost food and wages. This is the first. The severe cold in the northern part of the border, the lone army goes deep, does not know the geography, does not know the weather, has no food and grass, and the soldiers have no support, so they are often defeated. This is the second. Do you have anything to add? Liang Dao , Yuanzhi?"

Jia Qu nodded and said: "Hu people have many horses, they come and go like the wind, and they can't catch up with them. If they fortify the city, they will lose their fields, and if they go out to fight, they will lose. This is the first disadvantage. If we cut off my food and salary, the exhausted army and the people will inevitably suffer." This is Jia Qu's explanation for the difficulty of holding on to the North.

Xu Shu went on to say: "The imperial court raises troops, and under orders, it often takes several months to assemble, dispatch, reorganize the army, and set off. The battle opportunity has been lost, and the Hu people have retreated. Subdue and lose." This is Xu Shu's supplement to the second question.

   Fei Qian looked at the other people again.

  Huang Cheng, Xu Huang and Ma Yan shook their heads, indicating that they had nothing to say. It is understandable that as a general, making decisions on the battlefield is the home field of the commander, while planning in the big tent is the home field of the strategists. Huang, Xu, and Ma are also very clear about this, so they didn't say anything. .

  Du Yuan, Zaoyi and Tai Shiming didn't say anything either. Du Yuan is mainly in charge of logistics, grain and grass, and Zaoyi is mainly specialized in farming and mulberry farming. Taishi Ming came to supervise the artisans, and his attendance is a sign of importance, but for such strategic things, if there is no special idea, the general situation I won't say anything more.

Fei Qian nodded, and continued: "The Qiang and Hun people, although they are famously supportive, they do nothing more. They follow the strong and kill the weak. They only seek snobbery and don't talk about morality. Therefore, this battle must be won, otherwise there will be changes." It seems that it is not bad to say that Baishiqiang and the Southern Huns are either because of trade or strategic alliances, but that is based on the fact that the army represented by Feiqian is strong enough. When these two found out that Fei Qian couldn't even win a Xianbei army, it is estimated that the whole position would change instantly.

  Everyone is clear about this question, so they all nodded in agreement, without any objection.

  Fei Qian lightly tapped on the table, and then said: "The army of Xianbei must come here!"

Considering from the standpoint of the Xianbei people, whether it is for money, or for materials, or even for revenge for Fei Qian's hatred of enslaving Xianbei captives, they will inevitably kill here, and there may not be a decisive battle, but looting and weakening Fei Harvest the crops on the potential land and hit the morale of the Fiqian army. The Xianbei people will definitely do it one thousand percent.

  Xu Shu and Jia Qu looked at each other, and suddenly they both smiled, and suddenly felt that things became much clearer. Now that the goal of the Xianbei people was affirmed, can this group of people be allowed to come and go as they please?

   Cao Cao asked: "What's so good about him? How can I not be as good as him? You always think about him, and you can't always forget him?"

   Guan Yu said indifferently: "You are good in everything, and you are better than him in everything. You have only one shortcoming. You are not him."
