Chapter 1996 Changshan’s sudden change and tripartite strategy
In the Youbei desert area, there are sparsely populated areas separated from each other by hundreds of miles, sometimes even hundreds or thousands. Therefore, in order to convey the message without letting the Xianbei people discover it, Sima Yi adopted a method.
Similar to the beacon tower model, light and fire are used to transmit messages at a specific time period.
Of course, this model also has very big limitations, such as heavy fog or rainy days, but it is indeed much more convenient than running back and forth manually, at least in terms of timeliness.
The rainy season on the grassland has to wait until March. The weather is still relatively sunny now, and because of the small glacier, the cold may continue and the rainy season will be delayed.
Because of the poor communication channels up and down, even if the Xianbei people or Cao Jun discovered that Fei Qian's scouts were wearing something similar to a ghillie suit, the other side's scouts would often think that these guys were weird or cunning, but big
Most people would not want to report it, and they would rarely even imitate it.
After all, in ancient times, it was not just the Han people who were willing to change their names or surnames. Sometimes the Hu people also had their own insistence. They felt that it was a bit weird to stick a grass on themselves, tie a branch or something. This led to the Qiusi's subordinates.
Scouts do have a greater advantage in concealing their whereabouts.
When the news about Cao Jun and the Xianbei people reached Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, Sima Yi smiled, clapped his hands and said, "It's done!"
Although Zhao Yun's face was still calm, there was also a faint flash of brilliance in his eyes.
It is indeed difficult to achieve this step.
The armies of the Han Dynasty, whether they are Cao Jun or Hussar, are better at positional warfare. They pay attention to the integrity of the formation and exert the effect of one plus one greater than two in the form of a team. However, the Xianbei people in the desert are accustomed to mobile warfare.
Or it could be said to be similar to a melee, where you would often chase each other, only to find that the person who had escaped suddenly appeared on the flank...
Therefore, if the Xianbei people and Cao Jun are in the same place, it will be relatively troublesome, because they have to guard against Cao Jun's array attack, but also against the Xianbei people's false retreat and real detour. Even if Zhao Yun is capable and has strong martial arts, but
The losses that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible, so keeping the Xianbei people and Cao Jun apart is undoubtedly the best way.
At the same time, geographical distance will also bring about psychological gaps. Even in later generations, there will still be psychological gaps between city people and country people, not to mention the Cao Jun and Xianbei people who were not so harmonious in the first place?
"Next..." Sima Yi turned to look at Zhao Yun, "It's up to General Zhao..."
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "In this case, we will follow Zhongda's policy... However, Zhongda still has to be careful here..."
Sima Yi bowed and cupped his hands, "I understand."
This is a big stage. Sima Yi is planning to rely solely on the strength of Zhao Yun’s headquarters to solve the problem in Youbei. However, after Zhao Yun got all of Sima Yi’s plans, he thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to Sima Yi’s strategy and reported it to the Hussar General’s Palace.
, and then got approval...
Although in a certain aspect, Liu He and the Wuhuan people can be regarded as Zhao Yun's allies, in fact no one can guarantee that the loyalty of these allies will never fluctuate, and they pin their hope of victory on the alliance.
This is undoubtedly the behavior of the bald-headed Qiang. Being strong requires one's own strength, and even the allies need to know that in fact they are not that important. These people will be more willing to bow their heads and not jump up to make a request.
An idea.
Therefore, Sima Yi is preparing to stir up the northern part of Youzhou and stir up the waves. In a sense, Sima Yi wants to solve the Youzhou problem as much as possible. Although it may not be possible once and for all, he is a little tired of these Xianbei people.
Already.
Although Sima Yi did well here, he still felt that it would be better and more comfortable for him to stay in Chang'an. After all, Sima Yi had no idea of dedicating his life to the frontier. Even if he did, he would let others go. He didn't want to go.
.
Zhao Yun and Sima Yi had reached an agreement and left first.
Sima Yi stood beside the map and looked at the map on the table.
Undoubtedly, for the entire Youzhou, Cao Jun in Yuyang is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. After all, Cao Jun has no retreat.
The Xianbei people can flee to Baishui and Heishan. In that area, it is a troublesome thing for the Han people. Unless it is really necessary, it is not worth going into the mountains to search and pursue. Therefore, if the Xianbei people really feel that they cannot defeat them, they
He could retreat, but Sima Yi was too lazy to pursue him.
The same is true for the Liaodong Army. The distance from Changshan to Liaodong is indeed too far. There is no intermediate node. Even if it is a fight, it is difficult to effectively control it.
So in the final analysis, it’s still Yuyang.
Yuyang has iron and salt. It has been an important military town since the Han Dynasty. If Cao Jun loses Yuyang, it is almost equivalent to losing control of Youzhou, and it will also lose the only source of war horses. Therefore, Cao Jun
The escape route is at least.
Because there were few retreats, Cao's army would be timid, especially after being defeated by the hussar general Fei Qian in Yuzhou and realizing the gap between the soldiers of the two sides...
And these are opportunities.
Sima Yi looked at the map, smiled slightly, and then moved his hands above the map, as if holding invisible chess pieces, simulating the situation of the entire Youbei.
……(*???)=3……
Since the attack on Cao's army's grain transport team, the Ding Ling tribe has not been dispatched again.
After the Xianbei people took away hundreds of war horses, they knew to some extent that the Ding Ling people were not happy, so they did not continue to ask the Ding Ling people to attack, so the Ding Ling people took the rare opportunity to station themselves on the flank of the Budugen Royal Court in Mobei.
Because of the performance of the Ding Ling people during this period, Dugen and other Xianbei people believed that the Ding Ling people were more or less obedient and reliable, so they did not have any special suspicions about the Ding Ling people.
"Leader, what should we do next?"
Ding Lingtou glanced sideways. That side was the direction of Bu Dugen's royal court, "Wait a minute..."
"hold on?"
"Hmm..." Leader Ding Ling nodded. As of now, Leader Ding Ling has not seen which Han people from the Hussars have shown the power to destroy Bu Dugen. On the contrary, Bu Dugen's royal court seems to have some
many people.
Could it be that the news of being beaten is false?
In the desert, whether a tribe is strong or not depends on how many people there are. Seeing Leader Ding Ling who still seems to have so many people in the Budugen Royal Court, he is naturally a little unable to make up his mind. Of course, this is because Leader Ding Ling does not
If we know how many people there were in the Budugen Royal Court originally, after all, in this era, those who can figure out the number within ten can be considered as long, and so on, when the number of people reaches thousands, it is impossible to give in to Budugen.
All the people in the royal court could not walk, or they all came out to count or something, so we could only make a rough estimate based on the area of the area, and the Xianbei royal court obviously occupied a large area.
However, when several messenger horses passed by almost madly, they immediately attracted everyone's attention...
Immediately, Bu Dugen summoned the big and small leaders, including leader Ding Ling, and announced a shocking event, "The Xiongnu Rebellion in the South of Yinshan Mountain!"
Bu Dugen's face was glowing red. If it weren't for the sake of maintaining his own dignity, he would even want to laugh three times and then say something like "Today will happen" or "The sky has eyes for immortality" to vent these moments.
Days of depression.
"The Southern Huns rebelled? Why?"
"Is there anything strange about this? Aren't all Han people like that? They must be oppressive and greedy. The Southern Huns couldn't bear it anymore..."
"This is great... Well, I'm not saying it's good for the Southern Huns to be oppressed, but I'm saying this is a good opportunity for us..."
After hearing the news, there was an uproar in the Xianbei royal tent. Everyone was expressing their thoughts, and the chaos became chaos. Bu Dugen obviously had no intention of directly banning these people from discussing, and even enjoyed it to some extent.
This time...
The northern and southern Xiongnu were divided. The southern Xiongnu was more inclined to the Han Dynasty, but that did not mean that they all stayed safe and honest. In 94 AD, the southern Xiongnu had a large-scale rebellion. Then in 109 AD, the southern Xiongnu even united with Xianbei and
Wuhuan carried out large-scale plunder in the five counties of northern Han Dynasty.
Even during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were internal divisions among the Southern Xiongnu. Those who were friendly to the Han Dynasty and those who were against the Han Dynasty fought against each other, which led to the death of Qiangqu Chanyu.
Even after being subordinated to the Hussar, the Huchuquan rebellion still occurred. Although it was suppressed in the end, most Xianbei people believed that the Southern Xiongnu would definitely be unconvinced, so the rebellion was a very serious matter.
Normal things, although a little unexpected, are still reasonable.
"The key is..." As soon as Bu Dugen opened his mouth, everyone immediately shut up. This obviously made Bu Dugen very satisfied. Then he slowly looked around and then continued, "That damn Han general, lead the men and horses."
Went to suppress the rebellion... That means that now, the Han camp in Changshan is the weakest time..."
As soon as Bu Dugen finished speaking, there was another loud commotion!
For most Xianbei people, Zhao Yun has undoubtedly caused the biggest psychological shadow on them. But now that he heard that Zhao Yun left, it was like taking a sneak peek at a naughty child whose parents were working. His whole body felt relaxed, and almost all of his body felt relaxed.
Get up and dance.
"Is this... this news... true?" Leader Ding Ling couldn't help but ask.
Bu Dugen glanced at Leader Ding Ling with some displeasure, "I have a reliable source of information..."
It was naturally impossible for Bu Dugen to tell everything about the undercover agents he dispatched, and he felt that this should be a trump card of his own. When he needed to use it, he would definitely make those Han people suffer a big loss!
Bu Dugen spoke very confidently, and everyone else could naturally notice it, and they became excited almost immediately, as if they had taken revenge, conquered the Han camp, and enjoyed the taste of victory!
Bu Dugen raised his hand slightly, "Besides! We can also get the Han people in the south to cooperate with us!"
"Those Han people? Those Han people may not be willing to follow us to attack Changshan..." Someone raised an objection.
Bu Dugen nodded and said calmly: "So they will definitely be willing to fight those Wuhuan people who betrayed us!"
……(σ｀д′)σ……
After sending away the shameful and arrogant Xianbei people, Cao Chun hesitated and wavered.
What makes you hesitate is that you don’t know whether it’s true or not, but what makes you waver is that you feel like you’re a transformed serf singing…
What if it's fake?
But what if it's true?
Cao Chun still had some confidence in defending the city, but if he went out to fight in the city without bringing mosquito repellent... Well, without sufficient preparation, Cao Chun would also be a little flustered...
The situation in Youbei is like a whirlpool, and Cao Chun, who is at the center of the whirlpool, naturally has to bear more and greater pressure. Can the Xianbei people be trusted?
Cao Chun also felt that it was quite embarrassing.
But now the Xianbei people shouted "This game is stable!" The momentum was fierce and the voice was powerful, which made Cao Chun seem to have a little more hope in his heart. Maybe... this game is really stable?
If Zhao Yun really left the Changshan camp and went to Yinshan to quell the rebellion, then it would indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Hussar base in Changshan. Even if the Hussar wanted to rebuild it, it would not be easy.
It can buy Cao Cao at least two or three years. After all, time is precious now, and it is difficult to realize it without being in it.
what to do?
The Xianbei people wanted to attack Changshan. It seemed that they were eager to avenge the last attack by Zhao Yun, but they must also be worried about their flanks, so they asked Cao Chun to attack Liu He, at least to restrain Liu He from threatening the Xianbei people.
If Cao Chun does not move, it will probably also affect the Xianbei people, making the Xianbei people care about the first and last, which may eventually lead to missed opportunities. Then Cao Chun will also lose the pitiful tacit trust between him and the Xianbei people.
, will eventually be left alone...
But the attack, this trip is not close.
Liu He is also in the north of Youzhou, but he is basically with the Wuhuan people. Because the Wuhuan people have just experienced a major split, the number of people has naturally decreased. They are recharging their energy and are not usually there.
Too mobile.
Cao Chun thought about it and finally invited Ju Shou to help him with advice.
Relatively speaking, Ju Shou was relatively calm, because he was relatively objective. After listening to Cao Chun's concerns, he basically understood Cao Chun's thoughts.
This kind of opportunity is like being dealt a good deck of cards on the gambling table. Holding it in your hand, you want to win a big one. However, because you don’t have many chips, you are naturally concerned about gains and losses. At the same time, you are also afraid of the actual cards in your hands.
The cards may seem big, but they may not be the biggest in the end...
"You can just wait and see what happens..." Jushou said slowly, "If this is true, the Xianbei people will definitely be anxious and will be the first to send troops..."
"But..." Cao Chun's face looked a little bad, and his eyes were darkened. He tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep well thinking about it, "If he is from Xianbei..."
Jushou said slowly: "If Changshan Camp really mobilizes troops to come back for reinforcements, even if the horse is fast, it will take about ten days to reach Yinshan Mountain, and at least twenty days to go back... If there is really a rebellion in Yinshan Mountain, and Changshan needs to mobilize troops, then it is not
It can be calmed down in an instant... Even if the battle is over, it will take three to five days. In this case, it can be as little as a month, as much as a month and a half, or even more... Why not wait two more days?"
Cao Chun walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, then nodded, "What the military advisor said is true..."
"If Xianbei really wants to attack Changshan, all he has to worry about is Wuhuan, lest he attack the flanks and be unable to return..." Jushou continued, "However, Wuhuan is now divided into two parts, and his power is slightly smaller. Even though he has an alliance with Hussar,
, and did not dare to send troops brazenly to stop the Xianbei people... Therefore, the Wuhuan people must have sent out after the Xianbei people passed..."
"That's right!" Cao Chunyi clapped his hands.
Do the Wuhuan people dare to stop the Xianbei people themselves?
If the Xianbei people received false news and the Yinshan rebellion was false, then it means that the Changshan camp is still strong, so the Wuhuan people will naturally have the confidence to cooperate. But if the Changshan camp is empty, then the Wuhuan people will
Are you willing to risk your life to stand in front of the hussar's men?
Obviously it is impossible, so based on the actions of the Wuhuan people, we can generally draw some conclusions. Although they are not necessarily correct, they can also be used as a reference.
"If the Xianbei people want to cross Wuhuan, they must have a partial army to suppress it! It will not be too late for the general to send out troops by then..." Jushou said slowly, "If Changshan is really empty, after the general defeats Wuhuan, they can naturally merge
In one place, one of the Hussars was severely damaged... If Changshan was deceived, the general also defeated Wuhuan and cut off the wings of the Hussars, which would not be a loss..."
Cao Chun was suddenly enlightened and laughed, "It's true! The military advisor is really holding on to the defense. It's wonderful! It's wonderful!"
Cao Chun excitedly waved his fist, and then remembered something: "It's just that the Xianbei people are not willing to do this..."
That's right, Ju Shou basically used the Xianbei people as spearmen, and Cao Chun was playing support from behind to take advantage. Naturally, there wasn't much risk, but the Xianbei people were not that stupid, and they might not be willing to let Cao Chun take advantage along the way.
"Just say that we don't have enough food and grass...it will take some time to prepare one or two..." Jushou said with a smile, "I'll give you some more armor and equipment, and say a few good words and that's all..." Jushou said that he wanted to fool the Xianbei people.
, I am an expert below.
Cao Chun was stunned, then burst into laughter. Isn't the accidental injury incident that was angry before now the best reason? The Xianbei people were helpless, and then they got some soldiers and armor, so naturally they had no choice but to admit it...
"So, in the opinion of the military advisor, who can lead the attack?" Cao Chun asked again.
Jushou glanced at Cao Chun, then lowered his eyelids and said: "I am just a staff planner... As for the deployment of the army, it is the general who makes the decision. I can't say more..."
Zhang He and Ju Shou can be regarded as old colleagues. If Ju Shou recommended Zhang He, who could guarantee that Cao Chun would not have the fine traditions of the old Cao family. He began to doubt whether Zhang He and Ju Shou were having an affair? So Ju Shou simply refused the suggestion, but in fact,
Would Cao Chun be confident that he would lead the attack with his men, and then leave Zhang He and Jushu behind in Yuyang?
Cao Chun pretended to think about it for a while, and then said: "Jun Yi has both civil and military skills and is worthy of a big job... I wonder what the military advisor thinks?"
"It's all down to the general's dispatch. I have no objection." Jushou said, cupping his hands.
Cao Chun clapped his hands and said, "Shan! This is how you can reply to Xianbei! Let Junyi prepare in advance and march to Wuhuan at any time!"
