As soon as General Guan left, Governor Feng led the soldiers returning from the north to Wuyuan County and took over the camp.
"Where's Ke Bineng?"
As soon as Feng Jishi got off his horse, he immediately asked Liu Liang who greeted him.
Liu Liang, who stayed behind in the camp, relaxed his tense nerves when he saw the familiar face of Governor Feng.
Although people have been sending him information about Ke Bineng, he does not feel safe because General Guan is not around.
I was afraid that Kebi could take advantage of this gap and suddenly appear and burn down the camp.
"The news from the east is that Kebineng's men and horses have been gathered and are coming east."
"According to the information given to me by some old friends, at the current speed, if it is the fastest, it will arrive tomorrow, and if it is the slowest, it will not be more than the day after tomorrow. Kebineng will arrive in Wuyuan County."
Liu Hanzi finished speaking in one breath and couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his face.
It was too hot and he was too excited, so Mr. Liu was sweating a little.
When Governor Feng heard this, he smiled:
"You seem to have quite a lot of old friends."
Liu Hanzi laughed dryly:
"It's all thanks to the Lord..."
This sentence is a subconscious truth.
After traveling all over the world for so many years, Liu Liang has finally seen the world's human nature.
So he understood one thing: without the resources of the Xinghanhui system, there would be no Liu Hanzi in this world.
The so-called hero takes advantage of the situation. This sentence only tells half of the truth, or in other words, it deliberately conceals half of the content.
That is, before you can take advantage of the situation and become a hero, you must first have money, food, and people.
Of course, it would be better if there are some unique resources that others do not have.
Those who don’t have these things, but still think they can be heroes, will either be severely beaten by society until they recognize the reality.
Or most likely he would become a ranger.
If you can't even become a knight-errant, you are a green-skinned scoundrel.
On the contrary, with enough resources and a little bit of luck, it is easier to become a hero than others.
For example, Zhang Yuan is now following Feng Junhou like a shadow.
Logically speaking, when a son of such a pale head joins the army, he will basically rush to the front and die.
Unless you are lucky enough to have a narrow escape, it is possible to get a small chance of advancement.
How is it like now, when he is the chief senior brother of the students in the martial arts hall, and he is also promoted by Governor Feng.
Now he is the Sima of the Liangzhou Army, responsible for supervising the various camps in Liangzhou.
How many people who were more talented than him died in obscurity on the battlefield because they did not have the resources of a martial arts school or became a student of Feng Prefect.
When others were picking up the bodies, they didn’t even know their names...
Another example is Ke Bineng. In addition to Feng Junhou, he became the overlord of the grassland from Xiaozhong Xianbei. Is he heroic enough?
However, he did not follow the general trend and did not have enough resources to fight against the Liangzhou Army.
So Liu Liang believed that he would be a dead man soon.
But Governor Feng took Liu Hanzi's words as politeness. He smiled, then turned around and ordered:
"Zhang Yuan, you take the people from the staff department to arrange for the camps to be set up. Tufa Kheli, you are responsible for the security around the camp, especially the east side, and see if you can find out any news about Ke Bineng."
Then he said to Liu Liang:
"Come on, take me to see the supplies."
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
Originally, there was a heavily guarded place next to the commanding tent in the camp. A trench was dug around it to form an independent stronghold.
General Guan led the army away, and the camp suddenly became empty. Only this small village was still guarded by soldiers.
Liu Langjun led Feng Junhou into the small village and came to a tent.
Lifting up the linoleum covering, there were all jars wrapped in straw ropes.
Governor Feng picked up a jar at random, cut the straw rope with his dagger, and then cut open the oilcloth at the mouth of the jar.
Under the oilcloth, there is wax mud that seals the mouth of the jar. If you peel away the wax mud, there is another layer of oilcloth. Open the oilcloth, reach in, and take out a piece of dry food.
Put it in your mouth and took a bite.
"Click"!
A bit of powder splashed out from his mouth, and the sweetness of brown sugar with a fishy milky taste immediately filled his mouth, making Feng Jishi frown.
It tastes really bad!
I chewed it, worked hard to salivate, and soaked the powder in my mouth before I could swallow it.
It was much tastier than the early dry military rations of later generations.
But this is already the highest-grade toffee dry food for the Liangzhou Army.
What can be compared to it is special jerky.
Liu Liang had been in Yinshan for so long that he built a warehouse in Gaoque to store goods in the name of the caravan.
But few people know that the real function of the warehouse is to reserve materials for making dry food for the Liangzhou Army in advance.
After the army set up camp in Wuyuan County, all the inventory in the warehouse was naturally moved over.
During the more than a month that General Guan was stationed in Wuyuan County, he spent most of his time making dry food.
Feng Yong threw the jar to Zhao Guang behind him.
Zhao Guang reached in eagerly, took out a piece, opened his mouth and bit it, and most of it was gone.
Everyone is on the road these days, so the dry food they often eat is a powder that is mixed with soy flour and flour in proportion, added with oil and salt in advance.
There's no way that thing can compare with something as good as this.
No, Zhao Guang ate so quickly that he started to choke and rolled his eyes.
"General Guan took half of it away before he left."
Liu Liang explained, "The remaining half is reserved for the princes."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, "General Guan also left a letter for the prince."
Governor Feng opened the letter and took a look at it. There were only two lines written on it:
I'm waiting for you in front, but you should also be careful.
The calligraphy is made of iron and painted with silver hooks, so strong yet soft that Feng the Governor felt inferior to him.
"Xu You!"
Logistics consultant Xu You, who was nibbling toffee dry food, quickly closed his eyes and swallowed hard, causing his throat to hurt.
"The end is here!"
"We will do an inventory and assign them to each battalion when the time comes."
"promise."
Put it in the jar to extend the shelf life.
In order to make it easier to carry during emergency marches, basically it can only be wrapped in oilcloth and kept as dry as possible.
Seeing that he was well prepared, Governor Feng could finally relax.
After being on the road for days in a hurry, even Governor Feng, who was used to military life, felt his body was a little overwhelmed.
After making sure that all the camps were set up, I had a good sleep in the commander's tent left by General Guan.
It wasn't until the sun was high on the second day that I got up. I felt refreshed and drank a bowl of milk tea, two large bowls of broth, and ate three meat buns, which made me feel full.
Bald-faced Khotan Li, who had been waiting for a long time, came over quickly to report the situation after learning that Feng Jishi had risen:
"Your Majesty, Ke Bineng's front army was discovered a hundred miles away."
"Oh, he came very quickly." Thinking of what Liu Liang said yesterday, Governor Feng smiled, "It seems that he came here as quickly as possible."
"Let the army distribute some meat to the Yicong Huqi so that they can eat enough. They will fight in the front line in this battle."
"promise!"
The reason why nomadic people are difficult to deal with is that they have no fixed location and live in pursuit of water and grass.
In the vast desert, you must first fight against nature and identify the direction.
Then we will fight with logistics to ensure the food and grass for the soldiers.
The last step is to fight against the barbarians in the grasslands. Not only must we be able to defeat them, but we must also be able to outrun them.
In the several battles between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, the number of war horses dispatched was often tens of thousands, which ensured the mobility of the Han army.
At the same time, the victory in every battle was either to find the main force of the Huns and to defeat them.
Or find the Huns' royal court and destroy it.
A general like Li Guang who always gets lost or misses the mark every time he leads his army to fight against the Xiongnu is a typical general who excels in internal operations but is an amateur in external operations.
Naturally, Governor Feng would not learn from him.
Just to explore the route, Governor Feng spent three years preparing.
Furthermore, the cavalry strength in his hands now is not only at least two levels ahead of Xianbei.
At the same time, due to the improvement of war horses, the mobility of Liangzhou Army was also better than that of Xianbei Huqi.
More importantly, he also knew Ke Bineng's court affairs very clearly.
Faced with this situation, Kebineng had only two ways to go.
The first is to give up the Hetao area that we have worked so hard to develop, and lead our troops to Mobei.
It's just a big question how many Qushuai are willing to follow him at this time.
Even Ke Bineng may not be willing to leave the Hetao.
Because he is old and has no chance to do it again.
So Kebi Neng chose the second path, which was to fight to the death.
As long as he defeats Feng Thief, he can not only avenge his son, but also show his goodwill to the Wei people.
The son-in-law received the news of his son's death, which made Kebineng, who was still somewhat heroic, seem to have aged by more than ten years.
In him, he finally appeared old enough for his age.
One of his younger brothers, Ju Luohou, was killed by Bu Dugen and Xie Guini a few years ago.
The remaining brother, Ruoluo Aliu, was deceived by the Han into joining the army, and he probably didn't end well.
His son Pu Heyu died, and his only remaining son-in-law, Yu Zhugejian, is not sure what is going on now.
Kebi felt even more lonely.
He felt as if he had lived his whole life in vain.
Approaching Wuyuan County, Ke Bi Neng wrote, "The prince wants to hunt with me in the Yin Mountains, or does he want to hunt in Guanzhong?" and shouted:
"Here comes someone."
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Send someone to deliver this letter to the Han people."
After being sent the letter, Ke Bineng just sat there blankly.
His hair was messy, some of the braids on his head were scattered at some point, and some were only half scattered.
In some places, gray hair roots are exposed, making the hair even more messy.
If you don't know the details, you will see a real bad old man. How can he still have the aura of a grassland overlord?
Of course Ke Bineng knew that he was old.
This was what he himself said to Feng Thief at that time.
Unexpectedly, Thief Feng was so ungrateful. He first deceived and then launched a sneak attack...
Kebineng muttered to himself, his eyes seemed lifeless, but they were staring at a certain place, with a hint of madness in his despair.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of rapid footsteps came:
"grown ups."
"Come in."
"Sir, Thief Feng... the messenger we sent over saw Thief Feng with his own eyes!"
Kebineng, who was originally a bit stooped, seemed to have had a switch triggered somewhere.
He stood up suddenly, like an old lion defending his territory, exuding an astonishing momentum.
"Really Feng Thief is here? Okay, okay!" Kebineng gritted his teeth and said three good words in a row, and then asked, "What did he say?"
"Thief Feng only asked the messenger to bring back some things, saying that he wanted to give them to the Lord..."
"Let him in quickly."
What the messenger brought back were two boxes slightly larger than the head.
Seeing these two boxes, for some reason, Ke Bineng felt as if someone had hit him hard in the chest, and at the same time, his heart felt like it was being torn apart.
"What is this? Quick, open it quickly!"
Ke Bineng only felt a little dizzy and gasped.
The box was opened, and two heads appeared in front of Ke Bineng. Who could they be if they weren't Pu He Yu and Yu Zhu Ge Jian?
Staring at the heads of his son and son-in-law, Kebineng's eyes gradually turned blood red.
"ah!!!"
He suddenly screamed wildly, his voice full of shrillness and madness.
Then he looked like he was going crazy, drew his sword and slashed hard.
The messenger standing in front of him couldn't avoid it and was chopped to the ground on the spot.
The remaining people saw that Ke Bineng had gone crazy and did not dare to speak out to persuade him, lest they would be hacked to death in a daze, so they fled out of the sweat tent one after another.
"Come on, come on!"
"Send troops! Send troops immediately!"
"I want to kill Thief Feng, I want to kill him with my own hands!"
"I want it, I want to chop him into meat paste and feed it to the dogs!"
Ke Bineng, who fell into a semi-crazy state, could not wait for a moment, led 20,000 Huqi, and rushed towards Wuyuan County.
He swore that he would massacre Wuyuan County with blood!
"Junhou, Hu Qi is here!"
"Well, I saw it."
There was a faint muffled thunder from the east, and then a long black line appeared on the horizon.
The black line gradually expanded, and in Governor Feng's telescope, he could already see countless Hu cavalry approaching on horseback.
"Is Kebi crazy? He doesn't care about horsepower so much? Does he still think I'm defenseless?"
Seeing Hu Qi's appearance, Governor Feng was a little confused.
What he didn't know was that when Kebi could see the Han army, his blood-red eyes were like a wounded beast, and he pointed his riding whip towards the opposite side:
"Whoever can kill Thief Feng should succeed me!"
"Hoo ho ho!"
"Kill!~"
Xianbei Hu Qi shouted strange slogans and accelerated his horse speed.
Governor Feng felt even more strange. The army led by the grassland overlord looked like this?
Doesn’t it mean that Kebi knew how to use flags and golden drums to command his troops?
Why does it now seem like they are just fighting with those small tribes, just swarming them in a chaotic manner?
Compared with the Hu cavalry led by Puhe Yu, Ke Bineng's tribe seems to be too poor...
The bald-haired Khotan Li, who was commanding the Yi Congjun, did not have as much thought as Feng Jishi. Seeing his opponent in such a mess, he grinned:
"The prince has said that if you defeat Ke Bineng and do a great job, you can freely plunder his clan. Except for the horses and grain, all the rest will be yours!"
"Woo!"
The surrounding Yi Cong and Hu Qi all cheered.
No matter how bad the Yi Cong Army is, it is still compared with the regular army of Liangzhou.
After following Feng Langjun for so long, I still have good eyesight.
The Xianbei barbarians in front of them were no different from the small tribes that were allowed to hunt by them.
Except there are more people.
A large number of people means more labor, more cattle and sheep, more women...
"Drumming!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Although Yi Cong and Hu Qi could not compare to the neat military formation of the Han army, they still knew the most basic coordinated operations.
The front army began to raise their bows and flash their weapons at the same time, and the two wings had already begun to circle out, and the hunting began!
"Brother, why go to all this trouble? I can pierce through these bastards with just one charge without even a formation..."
"Shut up, it's none of your business today, just watch carefully!"
Governor Feng shouted impatiently.
It was the Yi Congjun who clashed with the Xianbei people at Qiaoshan, and most of the people who started the massacre were also the Yi Congjun.
Back in Wuyuan County, the only ones who fought with the Xianbei people were the Yi Congjun.
If the two sides are not allowed to form a bloody feud, how can Governor Feng feel confident about his next move?
The menacing Xianbei Hu Qi were met head-on by Yi Cong Hu Qi, and their momentum stalled!
The saddles are basically the same on both sides, although the shapes are a little different.
But Yi Cong's Hu Qi were all equipped with stirrups, and the weapons in their hands were much harder and sharper than those of Xianbei's Hu Qi.
There was only a "dang" sound, a spark flashed, and a large piece of Xianbei Hu Qi's rusty knife was broken.
This is pretty good.
Some of those bone weapons were even cut off directly.
Yi Congjun's movements on the horse were extremely flexible. With his legs controlling the horse's speed, he turned sideways and then struck again.
The opponent who had no way of turning around in time was cut off from his horse on the spot.
At the same time, the Yi Cong Hu Qi on both wings began to harass with mounted fire.
Although the number of Yi Cong Hu Qi was less than half that of Xianbei Hu Qi, they quickly gained the upper hand.
The battlefield continued to expand, and more and more Huqi began to fight together.
"There is no technical content at all."
Governor Feng used his telescope to watch a group fight of 30,000 people and muttered something.
"Kebi is no match for me!" Bald-faced Kheli sneered.
In this kind of melee, no tribe in the grassland can compare with the Yi Congjun.
He sent all the Huqi in his hands up.
Although the Yi Congjun had the upper hand, the opponent's number was twice as large as theirs.
If you want to finish the fight early, you won't be able to spare any effort, and judging from the current situation, there is no need to spare any effort.
Feng Jishi saw this scene and chuckled:
"Now it's interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Xianbei Hu Qi who had been retreating suddenly making a loud noise, and a fine cavalry rushed out from the middle!
Because the frontal battlefield was too wide and not thick enough, the Yi Congjun was rushed through by this elite cavalry in a premeditated manner, and was suddenly broken through.
The fine cavalry did not stop, charging straight towards Feng Jishi's handsome flag.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Bald Kheli was immediately frightened and dumbfounded.
He was tricked by Kebineng!
"Brother, let me go!"
Zhao Guang laughed happily, gearing up and eager to give it a try.
Governor Feng no longer had any hope of training this guy to become the commander of an army.
"I told you to just watch today. Someone, go and call Kebineng into the formation. Don't let Kebineng rush you to death."
The Yi Congjun were all entangled and could not retreat at all, because retreating with a single offer of gold would only result in a rout.
Moreover, once the entire army was released, it would be impossible to take it back at once.
"Raise your spear!"
The Han troops arrayed in the rear had large pillars as tall as a man's shoulders, and a forest of spears and halberds arrayed in front of the array, like hedgehogs.
Because the Han army was composed of Yi Congjun in front of the formation, there was originally no bow and crossbow formation.
Now Governor Feng is too lazy to mobilize.
This elite cavalry of hundreds of people rushed to the front of the Han army's formation, and someone shouted:
"Tie Feng, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Governor Feng smiled softly and said, "Chief Kebineng, is this why you led the army here?"
Soon some personal guards ran to the front of the formation and spread the words of Governor Feng.
"Thief Feng is so shameless and despicable that he is not worthy of being a son of a man..."
Governor Feng was not angry and waved his hand.
"drink!"
The shield soldiers and spearmen advanced ten steps in unison, with an astonishing momentum.
Ke Bi Neng stared at the Han army in front of him with blood-red eyes, his teeth were almost broken.
"Chief Kebineng, it is said that those who know how to do things are heroes. Now that your situation is over, why would you send your tribe into disaster for your own selfish interests?"
"I wish I could kill you to satisfy my hatred!"
Ke Bineng smiled sadly at the sky, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!"
"kill!"
The fine knight behind him started running again.
He was only halfway through the charge when he saw a knight who had been following Ke Bineng, suddenly drew out a long sword, the blade was sharp!
"No!"
Some people's eyes are about to burst.
Some people have cold eyes.
Some people have burning eyes.
"flutter!"
The blood mist dispersed.
The body without the head continued to rush forward for a while, and then fell off the horse.
The uncontrolled war horse finally neighed, turned around and ran to the side, no longer daring to rush towards the waiting spear array.
"Brother, this is..."
Zhao Guang was stunned.
"Oh, it's Han Long, the chief instructor of the Guards Camp and the Dark Night Camp."
Governor Feng said calmly.
Looking at the skeletal heads in front of the formation, he had already realized something.
Ke Bineng's behavior of seemingly committing suicide must have realized that after Puhe Yu's 20,000 fine knights were destroyed in Qiaoshan, he no longer had the ability to control some tribes.
Again, he is already old, so he knows that he has no way out.
Governor Feng looked at Hu Qi, who was still fighting, and suddenly felt a little admired:
Sure enough, he was worthy of being the hero of the grassland. Even if he died, he would drag someone who might betray him to his funeral.
"Junhou."
Han Long, dressed as a barbarian, appeared quietly next to Governor Feng.
The bald man swallowed his saliva and quietly took two steps back.
He suddenly felt that he might have passed by Huangquan Road before.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Han Long smiled heartily: "From now on, from Liangzhou to Jiuyuan, the barbarians are no longer able to cause trouble. What does this villain's hard work mean?"
"Sir, you are righteous! In my opinion, the silver saddle shines on the white horse, the horse is as rustling as a shooting star, kills one person in ten steps, leaves no trace in a thousand miles, these are what you said, sir!"
"Hahaha! Your Majesty deserves the prize!"
The man in his forties smiled like a cute child, and his small eyes were almost invisible.
Then he smacked his lips again and glanced at Zhao Guang: "It's just a pity that there is no silver saddle and white horse..."
A man in his forties, do you want to be such a coquettish guy?
"As soon as the matter here is over, I will lead the army to support General Guan in the near future. Then I will have to go first and send a message to General Guan."
"It's easy to talk! I'll leave immediately."
"There's no rush. Sir, you can rest tonight. It won't be too late to start again tomorrow."
"The yellow sheep by the river are tender and delicious. It would be a pity not to taste them."
"Drinking wine and eating meat, sitting by the river, admiring the desert night, dancing with swords and singing, isn't it a beautiful thing?"
"Okay, okay!" Han Long held his hands and laughed, "You are indeed the confidant of knights in the world, you know me and I know you!"
Governor Feng smiled slightly and said, "I have a few horses with pretty good legs. I will give them all to you sir. I will definitely be able to make it in time."
When Zhao Guang heard this, his eyes lit up, then immediately dimmed, and he muttered:
"Brother doesn't love me anymore!"
One of my brother's mounts is a Pegasus from the Western Regions, which can travel hundreds of miles a day. Even if he wants to ride on it, he can't even ride it.
Now I feel more generous and I give it away when I say so.
