As the sun sets, there is a brief period of peace inside and outside Yanmen Pass. Although it only lasts for half a day, it brings relief to the tired people.
The Yan army burned the corpses in Yanmenguan and the wells, and the stench from the rotting corpses reached the Yan army.
After nightfall, the Xianbei people's camp was brightly lit, and there were very few lights at Yanmen Gate. The soldiers in the pass had already made preparations, ready to launch a night attack on the Xianbei people's camp at any time.
Night attack is a very good method. For the Yan army with high morale, striking while the iron is hot is the most effective.
The road outside the pass was burned by the fire. Gao Fei was sitting on the tower, looking at the bright Xianbei camp outside the pass. When he turned around, he looked at Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Li Tie, Li Yulin and others behind him.
Humanity says: "Victory or defeat depends on this."
Well, it's up to you whether you can let the Xianbei people sneak into the ambush circle. I'll be waiting for your good news at Yanmen Gate. I'll wait until midnight and all the Xianbei people fall asleep before taking action. You all go back and rest now.
Wait for my orders."
"promise!"
Gao Fei sent the flying pigeon message out during the day. As night approached, he received a scout from Zang Ba, saying that Zang Ba had learned that the Xianbei people were attacking Yanmen Pass and had already set off from Loufan Pass overnight. Calculating the distance,
He arrived just in the middle of the night. So Gao Fei made a plan to attack the Xianbei camp at night and join forces with Zang Ba.
Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Li Tie, Li Yulin and others all left the tower. Gao Fei was alone looking at the Xianbei camp outside the city. He said to himself: "Now that Zang Ba has got the news,
Presumably Han Meng should also get it,
In this battle, I gave them a lot of initiative. With Han Meng's general skills, he should be able to guess what I would ask him to do. Even if Fei Ge failed to send the message, he should have attacked Mayi.
Otherwise, he is not a real general."
After standing on the tower for a while, he went down from the tower. Just as he returned to Guancheng to rest, he saw Zhang He walking in wearing heavy armor.
"Subordinates, please see your lord!"
"Jun Yi? Why are you here? Aren't you escorting grain and grass in Jizhou?" Gao Fei was surprised by Zhang He's arrival and asked hurriedly.
Zhang He said: "Under the orders of the military advisor, my subordinates specially led the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry to come to support. The military advisor in Jizhou has completed the overall planning, and the former officials of the Yuan family have come to seek refuge. The prefects and county magistrates from various places have been appointed.
Jizhou has nothing to worry about anymore. The military advisor was worried that the lord did not have enough troops, so he specially sent his subordinates to support him."
Gao Fei said happily: "The military advisor sent you here, which is a real help in time. You came just in time, just in time to participate in tonight's night attack. Using heavy cavalry and heavy infantry to surround the Xianbei people, you can completely force them into an ambush circle."
.By the way, how is Lu Bu's situation?"
Zhang He said: "Lü Bu and the princes have entered a stalemate. Ma Teng sent Zhang Ji and Fan Chou out of Hangu Pass, but Wen Chou blocked them back. Cao Cao attacked Hulao Pass several times and suffered setbacks. Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun,
Xu Chu was injured to varying degrees and was forced to retreat temporarily and stationed his troops in Sishui Pass and Xingyang. As for Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, there was no movement, and Sun Jian of Jiangdong did not participate at all and only issued a proclamation to denounce Lu Bu."
Gao Fei said: "Well, this is very good. Just have Lu Bu dragging me there. After I deal with these Xianbei people, I can then cross the river and go south to pick up Lu Bu and bring Guo Jia back. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang
, did Pound’s four generals all conduct defense along the Yellow River?”
"Everything is normal. Without the Lord's order, they will not go south rashly, and they will never let anyone go north. Even ordinary people must go through some scrutiny."
"Although it is not very good to close the country in isolation, this is the only way we can do it now. Only after we defeat Xianbei and destroy Lu Bu can we move to normal construction. It has been more than two months since we attacked Jizhou.
For more than two months, although no one in the soldiers has said they are tired, I know that if it continues like this, it will definitely be affected. You go down to rest first, let the soldiers temporarily relieve their fatigue, and start taking action at midnight."
"No, I'm resigning!"
…
Outside Mayi City, Han Meng led his army to quietly approach here, covering their whereabouts under the cover of night. He looked at Mayi City from a distance and saw that there were few people walking on Mayi City and the lights were dim, so he turned around and asked: "
Zhang Nan, is the news reliable?"
Zhang Nan was originally serving as the prefect of Qinghe, but in order to attack Bingzhou, Gao Fei recalled all Yuan Shao's group of generals, replaced the prefects in various places, and asked them to follow Han Meng into Bingzhou. After hearing Han Meng's question, he
, then
He nodded and said: "General, the news is very reliable. There are indeed only five hundred Xianbei people left in Mayi City. These five hundred people are only responsible for protecting Bu Dugen. If the general catches Bu Dugen, he will immediately
It’s a great achievement.”
Han Meng smiled and said: "My lord has given me the power to act arbitrarily. If this is the case, then I should not let go of this opportunity. Taishi Ci was faster than us when he attacked Shangdang. This time we want to capture Bu Dugen, who is the biggest
Credit goes to Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Chun Yudao, and Ma Yan!"
"The general is here!" Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Chun Yudao, and Ma Yan replied together.
"Proceed according to the original plan and be sure to capture Bu Dugen alive!"
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yiqu immediately led hundreds of cavalry in disguise and galloped toward the gate of Mayi City, and soon arrived at the bottom of the city.
On the city of Mayi, the Xianbei people guarding the city were still drinking koumiss. Suddenly they heard the chaotic sound of horse hooves below the city. They were immediately startled. Looking from a distance, they saw a group of Xianbei cavalry approaching in the night.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey! Which tribe are you from? You no longer go out to grab women. Why are you back?"
Jiang Yiqu is from Daijun, Youzhou. He left Youzhou when he was fifteen years old. When he was in Daijun, he had more contact with Xianbei, so he could speak Xianbei dialect. When he heard the Xianbei people on the tower asking him questions in Xianbei dialect, he
He immediately replied in Xianbei dialect: "Asshole! I was sent by the Chanyu to protect the Great Chanyu. Open the city gate quickly or you will bear the consequences!"
The people on the tower heard that Jiang Yiqu spoke Xianbei dialect, and the accent was the standard Xianbei accent in central China. Naturally, they did not suspect anything, so they hurriedly got off the tower and opened the city gate.
Jiang Yiqu was secretly happy and thought: "These brainless idiots deserve to be killed by my sword."
As soon as the city gate was opened, Jiang Yiqu immediately rushed over with his cavalry, raised his saber and chopped down the Xianbei people who opened the city gate. Without stopping, he passed directly through the city and galloped all the way to the north gate of Mayi City.
After cutting down several gatekeepers, they occupied the north gate of Mayi City.
Han Meng was not idle either. When he saw Jiang Yiqu entering the city, he immediately led Zhang Nan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Chunyu Dao, Ma Yan and others and galloped into the city together with the remaining cavalry.
Bu Dugen and many Xianbei people were sleeping when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofs in the city and woke up. However, as soon as they went out, they were immediately hacked to death by the Yan army soldiers led by Han Meng. Except for Bu Dugen, who was captured alive.
Except for this, the rest of the Xianbei people were slaughtered.
In such an easy battle, Han Meng and others took the city of Mayi without much effort at all, leading the horse and infantry troops. Han Meng's army was not all cavalry, the cavalry was a minority, and the infantry was the majority, because he was very close from Jinyang to Yanmen Pass.
, so just take the infantry on the road.
After occupying the city of Mayi, Han Meng had Bu Dugen taken to the county government office and lit a lamp. When he saw Bu Dugen, he asked, "Are you the Great Chanyu of Xianbei?"
Bu Dugen nodded with a horrified look on his face and said, "It's me!"
"That's all. I thought all Xianbei people were warriors, but I didn't expect there to be a coward like you! I heard that as soon as my subordinates rushed into your room, you immediately knelt down and begged for mercy?"
Bu Dugen plopped down on his knees and said quickly: "As long as the general spares my life, I can do anything you want."
"Hahaha... I didn't expect that you, a person who is so greedy for life and afraid of death, can actually become the great chanyu of Xianbei. I wonder if it is the luck of us Han people or the sorrow of you Xianbei people?"
Bu Dugen said with a bitter look on his face: "Actually, my big order is fictitious. Otherwise, how could I have only five hundred people to protect me? The one who is truly powerful is actually Kirby..."
"So, my arrest of you was in vain?" Han Meng said disappointedly.
"It's not in vain, it's not in vain. I'm useful and of great use." Bu Dugen has no heroic spirit at all. In his heart, he just wants to enjoy life in peace and stability. In fact, not only restoring the great cause of Xianbei in Tan Shikui's era is very important to him.
It's too far away.
At the beginning, he still had ambitions to fight for supremacy, but after fighting Gao Fei in Liaodong three years ago and losing so many troops, he realized that the Han people were terrible, and he never went south again.
, but stayed on the grassland wholeheartedly and enjoyed his aristocratic life.
It was not until later that his brother Fulohan said he was willing to reconcile with him and roped in Kebineng, saying that he would restore the great cause of Xianbei in the Tan Shikui era. Although his ambition became a little brighter, in the subsequent interactions with him, he felt that
Knowing how terrible Kirby was, he simply endured it, not only wanting his brother to help Luohan beat Kirby, but also wanting Kirby to get rid of his brother. As a result, Kobe was able to grow up step by step, but instead counted
They stepped on his head every time.
Therefore, Bu Dugen's desire for supremacy is dispensable. All he wants is a stable aristocratic life.
"Oh, what are you good for?" Han Meng asked.
"Kirby Neng is at odds with Fu Luohan, and of the 150,000 troops who attacked Yanmen Pass, 90,000 went out because they were afraid of Kirby Neng. They are not sincere at all. As long as I take action, I can convince them.
Most people left Kirby and came to surrender." Bu Dugen said with confidence.
Han Meng became suspicious and asked, "Are you really that capable?"
