Returning to the county government, Gao Fei first asked Zhang Liao to be settled, and then went to pay homage to Zhang Yang. Then he asked Zhang Liao's 7,000 surrendered troops to temporarily retreat to the camp outside the city, and removed the flags erected on the walls of Mayi City.
It was replaced and hung with the Yan Army flag with gold characters on a black background.
Later, Gao Fei gathered the generals at the county government office to discuss the matter of letting the Xianbei people withdraw their troops.
"There are 100,000 Xianbei cavalry, and there are still tens of thousands of them at Wuzhou Fortress. Our army only has 30,000. In terms of military strength, it is less than one-third of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people are the trouble I have caused. This trouble can only be
It's up to me to solve the problem. I can't let it happen.
They broke through Mayi. Although Mayi is a small city, it is blocked by mountains on all sides. Since the Xianbei people have left Wuzhou Fortress, if Mayi cannot be captured for a long time, they may rush to other cities..." Gao Fei frowned.
Quietly.
After the words fell, everyone frowned together. Gao Fei glanced at Xu You and immediately shouted: "Xu You, please go out of the city for me first, go to the Xianbei people's tent to negotiate with Bu Dugen, and then talk about Mayi."
It has been captured by me, let them retreat."
Xu You's boss was unhappy and thought to himself: "Why do you always ask me to risk my life?"
Although he was reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to openly disobey Gao Fei's words, so he nodded and said loudly: "Promise! I obey your orders!"
Gao Fei could also see that Xu You was not very happy, but at the moment he could only send Xu You. After all, Xu You was a tactful man and knew how to adapt. Besides, the two armies were fighting without cutting off the envoys, and Bu Dugen, the two
We exchanged envoys with him frequently during the year, so Xu You's life will not be in danger.
"Nanlou, you are familiar with the terrain in this area. Go to Jinyang yourself and ask Han Meng to come with half of the troops. Then ask Han Meng to send out scouts to inform Taishi Ci in Shangdang, Wei Yan in Handan, and Chang Shan
Zang Ba, let them all send half of their troops, only the cavalry." Gao Fei immediately ordered.
Although Nanlou didn't know what Gao Fei's intention was, he could feel that Gao Fei had mobilized troops and horses from such a far away place, and there might be a big battle here. He didn't ask any more questions, relying on his keen intuition and his understanding of the situation.
Knowing the understanding of the Xianbei people, he held up his hands and said: "My lord, would you like me to recruit all the Wuhuan elites from Changli?"
Gao Fei chuckled and said: "It's not yet time to mobilize all the troops. Besides, your tribe has settled in Changli in the past two years, and many people have joined the army. This is already the greatest contribution to the Yan Kingdom. However,
... Just in case, it would be better to send someone back to Changli personally... Qiu Liju, how many strong cavalry are there in Changli?"
Qiu Liju is now the recognized leader of the Wuhuan tribe. When he heard Gao Fei's question, he felt an unusual aura and immediately asked: "My lord, are you ready to attack Xianbei?"
Gao Fei nodded and said slowly: "First, inflict heavy damage so that they will not dare to go south for a few years. After a few years, we will then lead the army out of the fortress and wipe out this harmful spirit on the grassland in one fell swoop. It will always be blind."
Patience is not an option either."
Xu You heard this and hurriedly said: "My lord, our army has just occupied Jizhou and Bingzhou. Although it has conquered many surrendered troops, it is not strong. Is it too early to attack the Xianbei people now?"
"Isn't Xu Shenjun always a militant faction? What happened today? He was afraid of wolves in front of him and tigers in the back? The hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people who came this time accounted for almost a quarter of the Xianbei tribe. If they are released just like that,
Go, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future, and
And Xianbei is not harmonious now. If we don’t hit them hard at this time, why don’t they wait for them to unite to deal with us in the future? There are border troubles on both sides, and Xianbei is the biggest border trouble! If we don’t eradicate the border troubles, there will never be peace on the northern border!" Gao Fei snapped.
road.
Xu You heard that Gao Fei had made up his mind, so he asked: "In this case, what's the point of my subordinates going to the Xianbei tent again?"
"It's of great significance! Letting you go is just to confuse the enemy. The Xianbei people are greedy. The money I gave them is not enough to put their teeth in. You go and negotiate with them. This back and forth can always delay some time. Give me
Deploying troops and generals will bring leeway."
After hearing this, Xu You's eyes shone and he asked, "What about the place we just occupied?"
"There is no danger for the time being. Lu Bu is still struggling in Sili. With Guo Jia as his military advisor, he will definitely be able to survive for a while. Although Lu Bu's troops are small, they are all brave and good at fighting. There are passes everywhere in Sili. As long as you stick to the passes, you can really fight.
Now that they are up, those princes may not have any means of surprise attack. Qiu Liju, you go back now, ride on my dark clouds and snow horse, and change horses without changing people along the way. Follow the road
Cheng Suan, you should arrive in Changli in three days, and quickly gather all the strong Wuhuan cavalry to go out. Revenge those who have a grudge, and avenge those who have an injustice. Bu Dugen's lair is in the east, so you can use your talents to give him a violent blow.
, take his way back and make him homeless. All the property of the captives, cattle, sheep, and horses will belong to you Wuhuan people. Just give me the person's body, I have another wonderful use."
Qiu Liju said happily: "Don't worry, my lord, since there is going to be a war, then I will summon all the Wuhuan cavalry, both men and women, to go into battle and attack the Xianbei tribes with 300,000 men."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Whatever you do, this is a good time for you Wuhuan people to be proud and proud. We have been gentle with the Xianbei people for two years and endured it for two years. This time we must give a heavy blow. As long as Bu Dugen can
If it is destroyed, the other Xianbei tribes will definitely not dare to invade the territory."
Qiu Liju clasped his fists and said, "Without further delay, I will resign now!"
Nanlou also clasped his fists and said, "Master, I'll leave first, too."
Gao Fei nodded and saw Qiu Liju and Nanlou leaving, so he said to Chen Dao: "Take 10,000 cavalry and go to the surrounding counties to move all the people to Yanmen Pass within three days. This time
I want to give the Xianbei people an unforgettable memory, and the rest will stay in the city and be at your disposal at any time!"
"promise!"
After giving the instructions, Xu You led two soldiers and left the city of Mayi as an envoy holding a talisman inscribed stick.
The Xianbei people are stationed five miles north of Mayi City. There are uniform dome huts all over the mountains and plains. At first glance, they seem to be extremely powerful. In fact, the Xianbei people live mostly in tribes. Each big tribe gathers together, and within the big tribes there are
There are many small tribes, scattered, complex and disorganized.
Xu You rode on horseback and led his soldiers to see a tent with a golden roof on a hill in the middle. There was no doubt that that was the tent of Bu Dugen, who was named the Great Chanyu.
The Xianbei people were once powerful. Bu Dugen's father, Tan Shikui, unified the entire Xianbei tribes and formed a great Xianbei alliance. He divided Xianbei into three tribes: eastern, central and western, and each established a Chanyu. Tan Shikui called himself the Great Chanyu.
, who lives in the central region and commands the three divisions.
During the reigns of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Tan Shikui often led his troops to invade the border areas. The northern border of the Han Dynasty suffered from disasters for many years, with Bingzhou and Youzhou being the worst. Later, Tan Shikui passed away, and his son Bu Dugen did not have the courage and strategy of Tan Shikui and was unable to lead the army.
Three parts of Xianbei, plus Xianbei
The Grand Alliance was extremely loose, and the various tribes were also scheming with each other. In the end, the Grand Alliance announced its disintegration, and they fought independently. The leaders of each tribe were called Chanyu. For a time, the grassland was filled with smoke and war. Because of this, the Han Dynasty got a brief victory.
of spring.
However, in the past two years, with the strong support of his brother Fulohan and Kebi Nengyi, Bu Dugen has gradually restored his former glory, gradually unified the eastern Xianbei and some vicious central Xianbei, and seems to be on the rise.
Unable to bear Bu Dugen's attack, some Xianbei clans expressed their submission one after another, and respected Bu Dugen as the Great Chanyu. They showed their dignity with gold-topped tooth tents, established Shanyu Courts, and spread the word throughout the world.
Xu You walked forward slowly, constantly thinking about how to speak, and before he knew it, he came to the Xianbei people's camp.
"I am the envoy of the State of Yan. Xu You joined the army under the command of the Marquis of Yan. On the orders of the Marquis of Yan, I came here to pay homage to the distinguished Chanyu." Xu You spoke very politely.
When the Xianbei people heard that it was sent by Marquis Yan, they did not stop him and took Xu You directly into the camp and then to the Jinding tent.
Xu You followed the Xianbei people as they walked toward Jinding Yazhang. Along the way, he saw many rugged Xianbei people, all with ferocious faces. Some gathered together to barbecue mutton, or competed in archery in small groups, or competed with each other for their strength.
, the horses neighed, and the crowds roared. He looked lazy, but in fact there was hidden murderous intent everywhere, which made him feel a little afraid.
He had lived in the Central Plains for a long time. Although he heard that the barbarians in the north were tough, he saw that the Wuhuan people were very docile after being trained by Gao Fei. He thought that the barbarians were nothing more than that. However, he did not know that the Wuhuan people were basically influenced by the Han Dynasty and engaged in farming.
Weaving, fishing and hunting, etc., all looked the same as those of the Han people. But today, for the first time, he saw the rough lifestyle of the Xianbei people, and he truly understood what a wild land is.
Not long after, the Xianbei people took Xu You to the Jinding tent. According to the rules, followers were not allowed to enter, so Xu You could only enter the tent alone and warily.
In the golden-domed tent, Bu Dugen was sitting upright in the position of the great chanyu. The burly man sitting next to him was his brother Fu Luohan, and sitting on the first seat on the right was
Kirby Neng, who is known as the first warrior of Xianbei, has a fierce look on his face that makes people intimidated.
There were no empty seats in the big tent. Many tribal leaders had a small table in front of them. On the table were roasted beef and mutton. They were drinking kumiss and chewing the meat. No one paid any attention to the people who were already standing in the big tent.
Xu You in the tent.
Xu You cheered up and lost a little fear. He said loudly to Bu Dugen who was sitting in the middle: "I am the envoy of the Yan State. Xu You joins the army under the command of the Marquis of Yan to pay homage to the Great Chanyu!"
Bu Dugen had disheveled hair, a jade belt around his forehead, and gorgeous clothes. His hands and body were all covered with precious gold and silver jewelry. When he shook his body, he heard the sound of metal colliding. He looked at it.
Xu You glanced at him and asked contemptuously: "What did Marquis Yan send you to do?"
(Author's note: Well, I took some medicine and my headache is gone. I will update another chapter today. However, my body has not improved much. Instead, I feel limp and weak in my limbs. The disease is really tormenting. I hope everyone is in good health.
