Kebineng was beheaded in front of the formation, causing the Xianbei Huqi, who were already somewhat disorganized, to be instantly defeated.
The Yi Cong Hu cavalry chased them to the north, and many Xianbei Hu people were driven into the river. Countless people were drowned and their corpses were floating in the river.
After the war, Governor Feng, as he had said before the war, collected enough war horses and selected 5,000 meritorious men from among the Hu cavalry.
They were promised that they could continue to the west, go to Gaoque, and plunder the Xianbei Hu tribes.
After this battle, tribes with more than a thousand riders were temporarily organized in the area south of Yinshan Mountain in a short period of time, and were wiped out.
Five thousand righteous followers are enough to ride wildly without restraint.
Time was running out, and after defeating Ke Bineng, Governor Feng had no time to slowly clean up the mess.
He summoned everyone and ordered:
"Liu Liang is responsible for which of the tribes that originally relied on Kebineng can be used by the Han Dynasty. How to gather them together."
Liu Liang was overjoyed when he heard this:
"Liang Ding lives up to your expectations!"
I have been a grandson here in Yinshan for so long, and now things are changing. Let’s see how I can show my talents.
Governor Feng looked at Xu Xun again:
"Xu Xun, you will command these five thousand Huqi and stay in Yinshan to see if we can raise more food and grass, just in case."
Xu Xun quickly agreed, and then asked slightly hesitantly:
"Do you intend to leave these five thousand Huqi alone in Yinshan Mountain?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Your Majesty, the Hu people have never been trustworthy. They are still obedient under the restraints of the Junhou. If the Junhou leads the army to leave, Yinshan is a place where the Hu people gather. Just in case..."
Hearing this, Governor Feng smiled slightly:
"Yuande can rest assured that the relatives of Yi Congjun are far away in Liangzhou, and there are military commanders in each army. Who among those leaders would dare to have second thoughts?"
"Even if they want to rebel, who will support them?"
Let Liangzhou's good days go by and go to the desert to eat the wind and sand?
Some leaders may have such thoughts, but who among the people below would be willing?
Besides, even if they rebel, where can they find tribes that support them?
You can’t count on the Xianbei barbarians in the Yinshan Mountains, right?
First there was the Qiaoshan massacre, and then there was the battle in Wuyuan County, when the hatred between the two sides was in full swing.
Liu Liang appeased Ke Bineng's old troops, and Xu Xun looked at Yi Cong and Hu Qi. As long as the two sides can maintain a balance for two or three months, it will be enough. By then, Guanzhong will almost be able to decide the winner.
Although Xu Xun had been the logistics staff officer of the Liangzhou Army for a long time, he had never led an army before, so he was a little worried.
Hearing Governor Feng's explanation at this time, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"It turns out that Junhou had already planned it, but I was too cautious."
Just when Governor Feng led his army back to the north and swept away the barbarians in the Yinshan Mountains, the court in Luoyang was filled with joy.
Cao Rui circulated the memorial sent back by Sima Yi to the ministers and said with a smile:
"It is said that Thief Feng is cunning and has never failed. When Guanzhong heard about it, his expression changed. I didn't expect that this time I met Da Sima, but he came back without success. I am really happy."
Cao Rui's health has never been very good. In addition, in the past few years, he has been addicted to drinking and excessive sexual indulgence, which has made his body increasingly weak.
Especially when they heard that the Shu captives mobilized the whole country to invade Guanzhong, the people of Wei State were panicked.
As a result, Cao Rui's mood has been extremely bad for more than two months.
After all, after the Battle of Longyou, the Wei Dynasty first lost Longyou and then Liangzhou.
In the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng's thieves defeated the many with a small number, and became famous all over the world. It can be regarded as a turning point in the strategic situation of Shu and Wei.
After Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling, during the ten years when the war between Shu and Wei resumed, the Wei Dynasty suffered repeated defeats.
Not to mention that many people in Guanzhong are as afraid of Shu as a tiger, even in Luoyang there are also many people who are muttering in their hearts:
Over the years, the military strength of the Shu captives has become more and more powerful, and the Feng rebels have conquered all the power in the world. In addition, I heard that Hanzhong is also prosperous in culture. Is it true that Liu Han has not exhausted his power?
Nanxiang paper was brought to Luoyang by caravans in the early years and has been sought after from the beginning.
It has the reputation of being "smooth and smooth, far superior to Cai paper".
The land of Shu is well equipped with both civil and military forces, so no wonder some people have such thoughts.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that many people are worried about the fact that Shu is determined to win Guanzhong this time.
It may be that the kidney qi is too weak, which makes the deficiency fire more likely to rise. Cao Rui's temper has become more and more irritable these days.
Fortunately, there is a goddess in the harem who can bring relaxation and pleasure to His Majesty, and often turns His anger into joy.
But as a result, the already frail emperor often looked pale.
At this time, Cao Rui's pale face showed a rare rosy color, showing the happiness in his heart.
"General Qin Qi (Qin Lang) strategized and forced the An Ding bandit army to retreat without fighting. He has the style of a general."
"The Feng thief is tyrannical and the barbarians are unjust. They agreed to go south, but they got into a fight on the way. Now that the Feng thief has withdrawn from Qiaoshan, he must be afraid that his retreat will be cut off by Ke Bineng, so he is eager to lead his army back north."
Cao Rui said excitedly, "The Shu captives came in three groups, and both groups will be defeated without a fight. I believe that soon, the Ge thieves will also have to retreat southward to Hanzhong."
Seeing this, Jiang Ji, the Central Protector, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, although Thief Feng led his army back to the north, he still had people stay at Qiaoshan to capture the generals of Shu. This thief is the most cunning."
"Therefore, since all the thieves have not evacuated from Qiaoshan, it is not yet certain that Feng Thief has retreated. We should be more careful."
Cao Rui laughed and said:
"In my opinion, Thief Feng's move is exactly cunning. If he leads all the troops to withdraw from Qiaoshan at once, it will expose the unstable morale of the army."
"When the time comes, there will be Kebi in the north who can stop him from returning. If the Wei Dynasty follows him, and Feng is attacked from both sides, won't he become a trapped beast by then?"
"Therefore, it is best to leave some of the thieves to guard Qiaoshan, so that they can safely return north to open up a retreat, and then allow the Qiaoshan thieves to retreat slowly."
He saw that Jiang Ji still had something to say and knew what he was thinking, so he explained:
"Don't worry, sir. There is a big commander in Guanzhong now. The main purpose is to drive away the enemy invaders. He will not let the soldiers attack easily to avoid falling into the thieves' plan."
Jiang Ji then retreated.
Cao Rui sighed inwardly.
If it had been ten years ago, even if Guo Huai didn't want to pursue him, he would have personally ordered Wei Jingqi to pursue him.
only……
well!
Thief Feng crossed the desert and came from the north. He must have brought his cavalry with him.
Even the elite cavalry of the Wei Dynasty had to avoid their sharp edges when faced with the cavalry led by Feng Thief.
Wei Jingqi really wants to chase out Qiaoshan and meet Feng Thief in the desert. It is not certain who will chase whom.
Yang Ji, the leader of the army, came out and said:
"Previously, His Majesty ordered the recruitment of soldiers from Hebei Province. The troops have arrived in Hanoi County. Now the situation has changed. I wonder if we should continue to reinforce Guanzhong or make other arrangements?"
Cao Rui pondered for a moment and said:
"Although the Shu captives have retreated in two directions, the Ge rebels still have a hundred thousand people stationed in Wuzhangyuan. Don't be careless."
At this point, he paused, "It's just that if the soldiers from Hebei are allowed to continue to reinforce Guanzhong, it will be a waste of money and food."
"Why don't we station ourselves in Hanoi temporarily? If something happens in Guanzhong later, reinforcements can be sent at any time."
"Secondly, we don't have to use too much troops and troops. We can also save some money and food. We can wait until the Ge thieves are defeated and then stop the army."
Although he said it easily in front of everyone, Cao Rui knew in his heart that Jiang Ji's reminder was indeed very reasonable.
It seems that Feng Thief has left Qiaoshan and headed north to open his own way back, but as long as the Shu captives do not completely withdraw from Qiaoshan in one day, they cannot take it lightly.
More importantly, last year, Jingzhou also seized a letter from Sun Quan to Ge Thief, which contained an agreement between the two parties to jointly send troops to invade Xinjiang.
Now the Shu captives have indeed come as promised, but the Wu invaders have not seen any movement, so we must be on guard against this.
In this battle in Guanzhong, the only thing that can be resolved is if Feng Thief and Ke Bi can fight. No matter which side wins, it will be a good thing for the Wei Dynasty.
It would be best if the Feng thieves were defeated and tens of thousands of Shu captives' elite troops were buried in the desert. In this case, it would really be God's blessing for the Wei Dynasty.
However, Cao Rui has no hope for this.
After all, even the fine cavalry of the Wei Dynasty were defeated miserably at the hands of Feng Thief, and how could Kebineng defeat the iron cavalry in Feng Thief's hands?
However, if Kebineng is defeated by Feng Thief, it will also help the Wei Dynasty solve a potential threat from the north.
Cao Rui's thoughts are quite good this time.
If it had been anyone else, things would have gone exactly as he wanted.
It's a pity that what he met was a bumpkin who crossed illegally, a bumpkin who had more than 1,800 years of experience.
For example, the locals knew that to defend the Yangtze River, one must guard the Huaihe River, but Sun Quan didn't know.
In other words, he didn't know it before.
For another example, everyone in the world knows that "he who wins the Central Plains wins the world."
But only those with outstanding vision know that before conquering the Central Plains, it is best to first occupy Guanzhong or Hebei in the west, and the second level must be at least the south.
After you have no worries, you can then compete in the Central Plains, and then you can easily win the world.
But even those with outstanding vision cannot break through the limitations of the times and see things thousands of years from now.
Before Li Tang raised troops from Taiyuan and conquered the world, even if some people paid attention to merging states, probably no one could realize how important the mountains and rivers inside and outside were.
During the Pre-Han Dynasty, after the Xiongnu were first divided into northern and southern parts, the area from Yinshan Mountain to Yanmen has been a place where the Han people kept watchdogs for hundreds of years.
It's just that during the Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu were raised.
By the end of the Han Dynasty and the Cao Wei Dynasty, the gatekeepers became Xianbei people.
Although the guard dogs sometimes want to turn around and bite their masters, they are always knocked down by their masters, who then drive them to bite the enemies in the north.
When Kebineng was at its strongest, Bu Dugen stayed in the Yanmen area, guarding the Wei people in exchange for Wei's support, so that he could avoid being annexed by Kebineng.
As one of the most important barriers in the north in later generations, Yanmen did not set up defenses against the barbarians for two to three hundred years. From this, we can see the strength of the Han Dynasty.
But at the same time, it has also deeply imprisoned the thinking of most people in this era.
Generally speaking, twenty or thirty years is enough to tamper with people's impression of history.
Take for example later generations’ impressions of World War II. In the 1960s and 1970s, the West still recognized that the Soviet Union defeated Germany.
By the 1980s and 1990s, it became the United States and the Soviet Union to defeat the Axis powers.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, some blockbusters began to vigorously promote the United States as the savior of the world.
Ten years after the millennium, some people have begun to claim that the Soviet Union is an accomplice of the Communist Party...
A few decades can distort history to such an extent, not to mention that the practice of using the Yanmen area to raise barbarians as gatekeepers in the Han Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years.
No one in Wei could see more than a thousand years later, so they didn't know how sleepless a Song Dynasty was after losing the Sixteenth State of Youyun.
Even Cao Cao would not have thought that after he dismembered the Huns into five tribes, the Huns would come back a hundred years later.
Therefore, it is not wrong for the Wei State to follow the practice of the Han Dynasty and keep Xianbei Hu people in Yanmen County to visit the gate.
The mistake was that they forgot that they were not a unified Han Dynasty. Their main energy was to fight against the south and the west.
Instead of mobilizing the entire country's troops to the north like the Han Dynasty did.
Therefore, they would not have thought that King Feng Gui sacrificed 20,000 Xianbei barbarians in front of all the Wei troops at Qiaoshan.
Then he acted like he was anxious to return north and fight to the death with Ke Bi Neng. This was actually just to cover up one ultimate goal: Yanmen County.
At this time, the person working as a guard dog for Wei in Yanmen County was Xie Guini.
Bu Dugen, the first Xianbei gatekeeper at Yanmen, had an elder brother named Fu Luohan.
Xie Gui Ni is Fu Luohan's son.
Back then, Fu Luohan and Ke Bineng made an oath, but Ke Bineng was hacked to death in public.
His own master was hacked to death in front of him. Not only did Xie Guini not think about revenge, but he led tens of thousands of cavalry to join Kebineng, the enemy who killed his father.
A few years later, he was persuaded by Bu Dugen who was stationed at Yanmen, so he led his men to secretly join his uncle.
Unexpectedly, Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, was arrogant and extravagant. He often took advantage of the Hu people and made the Hu people in Bingzhou miserable.
Bu Dugen was so angry that he would rather join his entire family to join his mortal enemy Kebineng than be bullied by Bi Gui.
Bi Gui led his troops out of the pass without authorization, and was defeated by Ke Bi Neng at Loufan to the west of Yanmen Fortress, and his entire army was almost annihilated.
Then Qin Lang led the Chinese army north to Bingzhou and defeated the coalition forces of Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen.
After Kebi was defeated, his vitality was severely damaged, so he simply killed Bu Dugen, annexed the remaining members of his tribe, and ran to Yinshan to lick his wounds.
As for Xie Guini, they both defected again, and he and his remaining troops ran back to Yanmen to surrender to Wei.
Cao Rui didn't care about his past, and even named him the King of Guiyi, allowing him to continue to lead his troops to guard Yanmen County.
This person, Xie Gui Ni, can be said to be a veritable domestic slave of the third surname, and judging from his actions, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as timid as a mouse.
But it was precisely because the people stationed at Yanmen were Xieguini that Governor Feng never thought of breaking through from Qiaoshan from the beginning.
Instead, he made a set of fancy moves to confuse the Wei State, and then sent Guan Suo to raid Yanmen at the critical moment.
Just when Cao Rui was having a sweet dream about two thieves, Feng Yong and Ke Bineng, fighting each other and losing both sides.
Guan Suo has led 20,000 iron cavalry, traveling day and night, rushing eastward.
Then it turned back to the south, and finally rested briefly at the pass built by the former Han Dynasty in the north of Yanmen County.
When the Han Dynasty was strong, a fortress was built on the northern border of Yanmen County.
It's just that now the pass has long been in dilapidated condition like the pass in Juyan County.
The current boundary actually controlled by the Wei State is the Hengshan Mountains in the south of Yanmen County.
To the north of the Hengshan Mountains, there is a basin, which is later known as the Datong Basin. This is the general scope of Yanmen County.
Ever since Qin Lang defeated the coalition forces of Ke Bineng and Du Bugen, the two states in the north have been peaceful for a long time.
August is approaching, which is the best time for grazing on the grassland.
The yurts are dim, the smoke is curling, the sheep are bleating, and the horses are neighing.
Although Xie Gui Ni was allowed to stay in Yanmen County by Wei State, in fact, no one could compete with him.
Over the years, his tribe has occupied large tracts of good pasture.
Inside the fortress you can exchange grain and cloth with the Han people, and outside the fortress there is fertile land for grazing sheep and horses.
There are even occasional caravans coming to exchange some rare and rare things.
Xie Guini's life has been really comfortable these past few years.
He even felt that such days seemed to go on forever.
And far away under the Qianhan Pass, a pair of extremely deep eyes seemed to be staring coldly at this peaceful and peaceful land through the mountains in front of them.
