Seeing Xianbei lose his fighting spirit and fleeing wildly to the north, Fei Qian finally exhaled a long breath. So far, there has been no information about Xianbei activities in the Yanmen area, indicating that the Xianbei people in this area are in Yanmen Yunzhong.
The Xianbei tribe has no offensive and defensive alliance with Mobei Xianbei, nor does it intend to act in unison.
There is nothing to worry about. As long as it comes in waves, the refueling tactic has been proven time and time again, and the effect is not very good.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand it.
Although the weather is cold in late spring, the area affected by the cold is always more severe in the north than in the south. In the south, it rains for at most two days, while in the north, it is snowing for a while. The difference in geographical location has led to the cold weather in Mobei, Xianbei and Yanmen.
The Xianbei in the Yunzhong area have different tolerances to this short-term climate, which means that the nomadic Hu people in the Yunzhong area of Yanmen did not endure the oppression of nature like the Xianbei in Mobei, and they were still within the tolerable range.
, there is no need to send troops south in the spring when the livestock are about to take a breather.
Similarly, for the Southern Xiongnu in the Yinshan area, the cold air going south was blocked by the Yinshan Mountains and did not have a very serious impact on the Yinshan area, so basically they all entered the same spring plowing season as the farming people.
It's just that the Han people's spring plowing is aimed at land, while the Hu people's spring plowing is more aimed at cattle and sheep.
Beating up drowned dogs seems to be a very popular activity both in ancient times and in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Yu Fuluo also has great interest and execution ability in chasing the fled Xianbei. After seeing
Xianbei fled with his bare buttocks exposed, and immediately ordered his men to take all the two thousand Hu Qi who came with him into the pursuit...
As for Yu Fuluo himself, he stayed here with Fei Qian. On the one hand, it was because Yu Fuluo was now reestablishing the royal court in Yinshan Mountain. He was more or less a serious Chanyu. He was no longer a self-proclaimed Chanyu.
It's time for two or three thousand soldiers to wander around. Naturally, they have to pay attention to their status. Let the people below do the hard work. Another reason is because this stick is placed in front of Fei Qian.
Colorful scepter.
No one was interested in Hu Yehan's head. After Fei Qian took a look at it, he asked people to give it to Yu Fuluo's troops. With such a human head on the tip of a spear, it is estimated that they can defeat them.
The psychological defense line in Shaomo and North Xianbei.
As for taking people's heads to go to the central government and go to Luoyang to ask for merit, it might have been of some use before, but now, haha...
After hearing that Liu Xie and Yang Biao had a falling out, although Yang Biao didn't say anything on the surface, he tightened his control over power. The meeting that was originally held on the 15th day of the lunar month was now curtailed on the grounds that the country was in dire straits.
It will only be held on the first day of the new year.
Once a month, no one would be happy!
Therefore, even if Fei Qian captures and sends these heads, it is still a question whether they can submit them to the next court meeting, let alone whether there will be a merit assessment.
The most important thing is that Fei Qian is currently short of manpower, and it is difficult to even find an envoy. After all, the noble clan has many rules, and it is not something that an ordinary person can do...
Do you know whether to stand on the left or on the right when entering?
Do you know whether to drink the soup first or chew the meat and bones first when eating?
Do you know whether you should put your palms down or your palms up when paying homage to His Majesty?
do you know……
This is "ritual".
It's really not just a matter of grabbing someone at random. If you don't understand, you will be laughed at. In serious cases, you will even think that you are deliberately insulting the other party. Then it is not surprising that the other party chops off the envoy's head to vent his anger.
After all, an envoy represents the face of a family of princes.
After Zaozhi was busy with spring plowing and farming, he had some free time in the summer and acted as a messenger once or twice to Chang'an and Jizhou. However, this was not a serious matter. After all, Zaozhi was not well-known.
, it would not be fun to have an accident, and with the increasing harvest of Pingyang, Zaozhi's ability in farming will sooner or later arouse the covetousness of others. When the Little Ice Age is coming, any farming person will
Those who have made great achievements are the treasures of various princes. How can they be easily sent outside?
What's more, Zao Zhi can't leave, and neither can anyone else, so although it's a pity, it can only be like this.
However, what does it mean that Yu Fuluo has been staring longingly at this colorful scepter?
"Chanyu, Chanyu?" Fei Qian looked at Yu Fuluo and saw that his saliva was almost drooling. Could it be that he wanted to take a bite?
Yu Fuluo recovered from his trance and said sheepishly: "...Ah, General...seeing this five-colored staff, I couldn't help but think of some things from my childhood..."
"Oh? Shanyu likes this? Then give it to Shanyu..." Fei Qian waved his hand nonchalantly and had the colorful scepter delivered to Yu Fuluo.
A piece of wood, dark, with some curvature, I don’t know if it is dark wood or ebony wood, or maybe it was not this color originally, but it turned into this color after too much of it...
Then colorful silk threads and feathers were tied as decorations. It looks pretty from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find the dust and dirt hidden in the silk threads and feathers, which makes Fei Qian even touch it.
All the wishes were gone.
"Send...give it to me?" Yu Fuluo couldn't believe it.
Fei Qian nodded and said modestly as usual: "It's just a common thing."
"This is not some vulgar thing!" Unexpectedly, Yu Fuluo said with some dissatisfaction, "This is the great shaman's sacred thing!"
"Great shaman? Divine object?" Fei Qian blinked, "Has Shan Yu seen that head just now?"
Yu Fuluo was stunned for a moment, and then he said softly, like a deflated rubber ball: "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control..."
"It's okay," Fei Qian said with a smile, "Come on, let's not talk anymore, it's time to drink a celebratory drink for the sons and daughters. If Shan Yu has free time, how about drinking together..."
Glancing at Yu Fuluo's unnatural expression as he stared at the five-colored scepter, Fei Qian secretly smiled in his heart. This was the purpose of sending Yu Fuluo here specially. Except when chasing Xianbei's defeated army, the Huns In addition to being more hard-working and more practical, another reason is that since we want to promote a new religion among the Southern Huns, how can we do it without trampling on the old religious system?
Such a colorful staff can not only remind Yu Fuluo all the time that the myth of shaman has been shattered, but to take a step back, even if Yu Fuluo uses the colorful staff to support another person to become a shaman, It is also useless, because the most important thing about a shaman is not the staff or the colorful coat, but the inheritance of the shaman’s knowledge and experience.
A shaman without inheritance is more useless than a shaman without a colorful staff...
"Play the drums! Make a fire! Prepare the wine!" Fei Qian said loudly, waving his arms, "I will personally pour wine and share the meat for the outstanding men! Let's celebrate the great victory together!"
Hearing this, the soldiers around him couldn't help but cheered, which resounded throughout the entire Yinshan Mountain.
Fei Qian looked towards the distant south amidst the cheers of the soldiers, thinking that the Yinshan Mountains in the north had come to an end, but he didn't know how the situation in the south was progressing...
…………………………
Zhang Liao raised his hand, clenched it into a fist and waved it, slowly reining in the horse. The flag bearer behind him waved the big flag, and the advancing cavalry queue slowly stopped behind him.
Zhang Chen urged his war horses to catch up and asked, "Captain, what are your orders?"
"Go to that forest to camp, and send out scouts eighty miles away." Zhang Liao looked at the direction of Tongguan, then looked back at the direction of Luoyang, and said, "Send in both directions!"
Zhang Chen looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Obey the order!" Although Zhang Chen felt that it was still early and there were no signs of coming storm, but since Zhang Liao, as the commander-in-chief, had spoken, So whether he asked again or said anything else, it was an invisible provocation. It would not be fun to be accused of being a slow army. Therefore, although he still had doubts, he still followed Zhang Liao's wishes and passed on the order.
Upon hearing the order to set up camp, the cavalrymen dismounted one after another. Some led their horses to the creek behind the forest to drink, while others walked upstream to prepare water for cooking, while others were in the forest. The curtains were pulled up, the firewood was cut, and the camp was set up. Everyone performed their duties without any disorder.
Zhang Chen found Qu Chang, and then gave Zhang Liao the order to send out the scouts. Qu Chang took the order, and soon sent more than ten scouts in each direction to the east and west, and disappeared from sight on horseback.
Seeing that everything was almost settled, Zhang Chen returned to Zhang Liao to resume his duties.
"Zichu, do you have some questions?" Zhang Liao asked Zhang Chen, motioning him to sit down.
"Captain Lieutenant, this... I have some questions..." Zhang Chen said, "Why don't we rush to Tongguan to relieve the siege of Tongguan?"
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "You are not wrong to think so, but I think the commander-in-chief under Tongguan also thinks so..."
Zhang Chen opened his eyes wide and said, "What? Lieutenant, you mean we have been exposed? If that's the case, wouldn't it be..."
Zhang Liao laughed: "Don't forget that this is Hongnong! These surrounding towns and villages do not dare to conflict with us head-on, but they can still do something by secretly reporting a message."
Zhang Chen said in disbelief: "How is this possible?! Didn't we pull out the beacon tower at the Shaanxi-Tianjin Ferry?"
"There is nothing wrong with removing the beacon tower...but there is one thing..." Zhang Liao looked up at the sky and said, "...there is not much food stored in the beacon tower...do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Zhang Chen repeated, and then said with some hesitation, "What the captain means is that the soldiers in these beacon towers are running out of rations...and they need to be distributed?"
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "It must be so... Therefore, whether you are transporting grain from Shaanxian County or from other regions, you will definitely find abnormalities at the Shaanxi-Tianjin Ferry... This is inevitable..."
"But, we came all the way and didn't see any beacon warning?" Zhang Chen looked around, and indeed he didn't see the black smoke of the beacon. The weather was sunny, and if such black smoke of the beacon ignited, it would be a hundred miles away.
You can see clearly outside.
Zhang Liao smiled and said: "It is normal that there is no beacon fire... According to my estimation, the beacon tower must be built in the direction of Luoyang. We are not going in the direction of Luoyang. Where will there be any beacon lights? The presence of beacon fire does not mean that
We must be safe...not to mention we spent some time..."
A thousand soldiers is easy to say, but when you add war horses, it's different. War horses need more space, and sometimes they even move around when they are not used to crowds, which makes crossing the river even more difficult. Even though Pang Tong tried his best to mobilize them
There were several large and small fishing boats ferrying together, but it still took some time. Of course, it should be faster when going back, because Pang Tong stayed in Shaanjin and was repairing the pontoon bridge that only had a few iron ropes left. No matter what, as long as
Being able to pave a horse-wide passage would definitely be much more convenient than ferrying back and forth.
"I was thinking, if the people in Tongguan knew about our arrival," Zhang Liao smiled and said, "What do you think they would do?"
Zhang Chen thought for a while and said: "Find a place to ambush us. After killing or defeating us, take our flag heads to Tongguan and attack the morale of Ma Xiaowei's soldiers..."
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "That's right! Even if there is no ambush and we just fight in formation, we still have the upper hand... And we are not many in number. If we fight hard, we will not gain much benefit..."
Zhang Chen was silent for a while, sighed, and muttered: "It would be great if we rode with proper equipment. Rushing into the battle formation would not be a problem at all!"
Zhang Liao laughed heartily, and then said: "One thousand armored cavalry must be equipped with at least two thousand light cavalry. If we have such a force, even if we have more than ten thousand infantry, we can't even hope to stop it! But that's not his ability."
, I will use these thousand cavalry to let the Yang family know that as long as Zhang is around, they will be on guard all the time and will never have peace!"
"Avoiding the truth, attacking its weakness, coming and going like the wind, hitting its vital points, this is the magic of cavalry use!" Zhang Liao said, then turned his head and looked in the direction of Luoyang, and said, "Since we guess that the other side may be defensive, and we
I don’t know where the opponent is ambushing me, so I might as well not go to Tongguan for the time being... Anyway, Ma Xiaowei is guarding Tongguan, and he is leading elite soldiers. The Yang family will not be able to capture it in three or two days..."
"Aren't we going to Tongguan?" Zhang Chen asked with some confusion, "Then where are we going?"
"Let's turn around and return to Shaanxi County!" Zhang Liao smiled, looked up at the sky again, and then said: "Well, not bad, it looks like the weather is really good... Ha, send the order, bury the pot and cook earlier.
Rest and set off at dawn!"
"Wei! Ah, ah? Let's go back to Shaanxi County?" Zhang Chen's eyes widened and he couldn't help but said, "Captain, Tongguan is right in front of you..."
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "That's right, back to Shaanxi County... Ha, we are going to attack Luoyang!"
