The three-bow bed crossbow and Ke Bineng are not what Liu Chan is concerned about now. After all, there are many weapons that can be improved in his mind.
Even if Cao Wei had a three-bow bed crossbow, he would still have a way to deal with it.
But now there was something that made Liu Chan feel a little embarrassed. He asked Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Xiangfu, since I can't send troops to attack Wei for the time being, how should I answer Ke Bineng's envoy?"
This is the question Liu Chan is pondering now.
Because the envoy sent by Ke Bi Neng has arrived in Chang'an at this time, Liu Chan will receive him at Weiyang Palace tomorrow morning, and at the same time he has to give him an answer.
Send troops?
Still not sending troops?
Liu Chan was in trouble, but Zhuge Liang looked relaxed and said: "Your Majesty can agree to Ke Bineng's envoy tomorrow, and I will have my own way to solve the rest."
"Okay!" Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard this: "My father-in-law said this, and I feel at ease."
Liu Chan naturally believed in Zhuge Liang. Since he said he had a way to deal with it, he must have already thought of a way to deal with it. After all, he was Zhuge Wolong.
The next morning.
Weiyang Palace.
All the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty gathered in the front hall of Weiyang Palace. A man with dark complexion and the appearance of a middle-aged scholar, seven feet tall, made a big salute to Liu Chan and seemed a little nervous.
He is the envoy Kebi Neng sent to Chang'an.
This is also his second time entering Chang'an, but this time is different from the last time.
The last time was six months ago, when he was ordered by Ke Bineng to bring 300 war horses to meet the Han Emperor Liu Chan. His purpose of going to Chang'an was very simple, which was to represent Ke Bineng and declare his vassalship to the Han Dynasty. From then on, Ke Bineng's
The Xianbei tribe is willing to rely on the Han Dynasty.
My last trip to Chang'an was very pleasant.
Because Xianbei was willing to attach himself to the Han Dynasty, this relieved the threat to the north of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was naturally very willing to accept Kebineng's attachment, not to mention that Kebineng also sent three hundred war horses.
The result was naturally that Liu Chan happily accepted Kebineng's affiliation, and then rewarded Kebineng with some specialties of the Han Dynasty, such as Shu wine, refined salt, etc. as a sign of friendship.
These things are of course very precious to the Xianbei tribe on the grassland.
However, when he was leaving this time, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, gave Kebineng a great gift, which was the unique three-bow bed crossbow of the Han Dynasty. He also sent a craftsman to return north with him to teach the Xianbei people
How to make this three-bow bed crossbow.
Of course, this matter was not made public.
The only people who knew about this were Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Xianbei envoy.
Therefore, he was very comfortable during his last mission to Chang'an.
This time it was different, because he himself knew very well that Kebi Neng's attachment to the Han Dynasty did not mean that he would really become a minister of the Han Dynasty. It was just that Kebi Neng had no choice but to temporarily attach himself to the Han Dynasty in order to develop and grow for himself.
p>
Because the current situation in the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains has changed. The Han Dynasty is no longer a small court in a corner, and it has the confidence to compete with Cao Wei for the world.
This also allowed Kebi to see the hope of Xianbei's rise. Decades ago, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Dynasty carried out a strong suppression of the Xianbei tribes, making it difficult for the Xianbei tribes to regain their former courage.
Now Kebineng seems to have seen hope. By relying on the Han Dynasty, he may be able to take the opportunity to unify the Xianbei tribes and then plot against the Central Plains.
In the past six months, after Ke Bi Neng received the three-bow crossbow as a gift from Zhuge Liang, he quickly defeated his number one enemy Bu Dugen. Naturally, the remaining smaller Xianbei tribes could no longer compete with Ke Bi.
Bi Neng competed with him, so he had no choice but to submit to Ke Bi Neng.
This time Kebineng allied himself with Gongsun Yuan of Soochow. His purpose was naturally to continue to expand his power, that is, to capture Cao Wei's Youzhou land, while Gongsun Yuan was interested in Cao Wei's Jizhou.
So the two families hit it off and sent troops to attack Wei at the same time.
But now, Cao Wei's general Sima Yi and his troops have arrived at Fanyang City. The Xianbei army and the Yan army, which were originally unstoppable, are now facing a great test.
Maybe the Xianbei army and the Yan army can go out of the city to fight Sima Yi.
However, when confronting Cao Wei head-on, even if Ke Bineng and Gongsun Yuan united, they would still be unable to resist. Therefore, Ke Bineng and Gongsun Yuan only thought of disrupting the situation in the world.
"Your Majesty!"
The Xianbei envoy bowed and said: "Our army has now occupied the cities of Fanyang in Youzhou, and the main force of Cao Wei has been contained in Youzhou. If your Majesty leaves Tongguan eastward at this time, he will definitely be able to take Luoyang in one battle."
The Han Dynasty regarded the restoration of the Han Dynasty as the foundation of the country. Although the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei had reached an armistice agreement before, everyone in the world knew that this was just a delaying tactic.
So at this time, the Xianbei envoy said that the Han soldiers could take Luoyang directly after leaving Tongguan in one battle.
The temptation is certainly not small.
After all, Cao Wei's general Sima Yi has led tens of thousands of Cao Wei's elite to Fan Yang. If Liu Chan's Han troops leave Tongguan eastward at this time, they may really be able to decide the world in one battle.
"Of course;" the Xianbei envoy continued: "Your Majesty's sending troops will also allow my Shanyu to face Sima Yi's army more calmly. If Your Majesty is unwilling to send troops, although our army is brave, it may not be able to face the powerful Cao Wei soldiers and horses.
It’s hard to hold on for long.”
"Okay!"
As soon as the envoy finished speaking, Liu Chan immediately said happily: "Your envoy can quickly return to Fan Yang and tell Ke Bineng Shanyu that I have agreed to his kindness and will send troops out of Tongguan soon to annihilate Cao Wei."
The Xianbei envoy was immediately overjoyed.
He didn't expect Liu Chan to agree so happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I thank your Majesty on behalf of Ke Bi Neng Shanyu."
After the Xianbei envoy thanked the Xianbei envoy, the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who had been silent for a long time, slowly walked out of the queue and saluted the Xianbei envoy, and then said: "The attack on Cao Wei is related to the unification of the Han Dynasty."
Hiss——
As soon as Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, the Xianbei envoy could not help but be frightened.
After all, Zhuge Liang is an important figure in the current Han Dynasty.
Even if the emperor agrees to send troops, if Zhuge Liang does not agree, it will be difficult to send troops.
"Prime Minister!"
The Xianbei envoy hurriedly spoke, but Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Envoy, don't be surprised. Since your Majesty has promised the envoy to send troops to attack Wei, Liang will naturally assist your Majesty and leave Tongguan eastward as soon as possible."
!!!
The Xianbei envoy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"I just hope that your envoy will return to Fan Yang as soon as possible and inform Ke Bi Neng Chanyu;" Zhuge Liang said lightly: "The attack on Wei is not a trivial matter. It cannot be decided today, but troops can be sent out tomorrow."
"Mobilizing soldiers and horses, dispatching food and grass."
Zhuge Liang seemed troubled as he spoke, but in the end he promised: "Please let your envoy inform Ke Bi Neng Chan Yu, and Liang will speed up the mobilization of troops and horses, and the dispatch of food and fodder. However, I also ask Ke Bi Neng Chan Yu to drag out Sima Yi."
”
"This——"
The Xianbei envoy was immediately speechless, because there was nothing wrong with what Zhuge Liang said.
The army sets out to fight.
It's not like a child playing house, who can send troops just by saying he wants to.
The mobilization of troops and horses, and the dispatch of food and grass all take time.
Seeing that the Xianbei envoy looked a little sad, Zhuge Liang said again: "Two months, please Kebi Neng Shanyu to hold on for two more months, and I, the Han Dynasty, will definitely send troops to attack Wei."
Two months——
After hearing this, the Xianbei envoy almost lost his temper.
Because time is very precious for Ke Bineng now, and Sima Yi's army has already surrounded Fanyang City. If Sima Yi suddenly attacks the city in a large scale, or Cao Wei continues to send more troops to Fanyang.
Can Kebi be able to hold on for two more months?
However, this Xianbei envoy is also in a dilemma.
After all, the Han Emperor and the Han Prime Minister have already agreed to send troops to attack Wei, but they need time to mobilize soldiers, horses, food and grass. You can't let them rush to the battlefield without preparing anything.
Zhuge Liang is not in a hurry at this time.
But Kebineng in Fanyang City was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Can't wait any longer."
"Can't wait any longer."
Ke Bineng roared: "If we continue to wait, our army will be trapped to death by Sima Yi before Han and Wu send troops to Cao Wei."
"Da Chanyu!" Gongsun Yuan stopped him: "Da Chanyu, please be impatient. Calculate the time. The people sent out should have just arrived in Wuchang and Chang'an." He said calmly: "Perhaps we can wait a few more days.
If we can receive the news that Han and Wu are sending troops to attack Wei, then our army can go out of the city to fight Sima Yi."
Gongsun Yuan has said this sentence several times in the past few days.
Kebineng could hear the cocoon in his ears. He waved his hand and said: "The prefect can afford to wait, but I, Kebineng, don't want to continue to wait like this. If Han and Wu don't send troops, or delay sending troops, how can I wait?"
Aren’t we going to die trapped in Fanyang City?”
"It is better to rely on the help of troops from Han and Wu than to rely on the scimitars in our own hands."
As he spoke, Ke Bineng immediately pulled out the scimitar from his waist and looked outside the house coldly. Then, regardless of whether Gongsun Yuan agreed or not, he walked out and said casually: "If the prefect is afraid of Sima Yi, he can sit and guard Fanyang City.
I will lead the Xianbei cavalry to fight Sima Yi to the death."
"Great Chanyu!"
"Great Chanyu!"
Gongsun Yuan hurriedly chased after him, trying to stop Ke Bineng, but Ke Bineng had already made up his mind. Instead of anxiously waiting for Han and Wu to send troops all day long, it would be better to go out of the city and kill Sima Yi by surprise.
Besides, he has been thinking about it these days.
I have also been paying attention to Sima Yi’s updates.
After Sima Yi surrounded Fanyang City, the Wei army never left the camp. Perhaps Sima Yi simply did not dare to leave the camp to fight.
Now the Xianbei army and Yan army in Fanyang City total more than 50,000 people, while Sima Yi's Wei army only has 50,000 people.
The two armies are of equal strength, but the Xianbei army is dominated by cavalry. If the two armies really open up and fight, there is no guarantee that the Wei army will be able to defeat Kebineng.
After Kebineng left the mansion, he immediately ordered all his soldiers to rush towards the city gate.
Although Gongsun Yuan who was following behind wanted to stop him, Ke Bineng remained unmoved no matter how much he tried to persuade him. Later Gongsun Yuan also gave up trying to persuade him again.
"Since Da Danyu has his own way," Gongsun Yuan said as he just arrived at the gate of the city: "It's not that I dare not fight Sima Yi. It's just that Fanyang City was defeated by Da Danyu and I with great difficulty. If Fan Yangcheng is lost, I will fight against Sima Yi."
The Great Chanyu will surely die without a burial place."
Hearing this, Ke Bi Neng said casually: "Then Grand Administrator Gongsun will stay in Fanyang Town to guard, while I will go and defeat Sima Yi's camp."
As soon as Kebineng finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to open the city gate, and then led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry to rush out of Fanyang City.
