Further investigation of the inside story behind the assassin has been handed over to a special person. Although Li Shushi is also very curious about how the "professional" recommended by Su Xiaololi handles this matter, he no longer has that thought.
Because it seemed to be an agreement, not long after the assassination incident occurred, the Xianbei people appeared in the northeast of Chigu City and the upper reaches of the Tekes River.
Although at first it was just the traces of some scaly claws, which did not attract enough attention, soon similar rewards began to increase and become more intensive, so everyone knew that the other party was going to make a big move.
This is not surprising. After all, although a central Xianbei master and a famous general died in Xianbei last time, another high-ranking eastern Xianbei master was captured alive, which is almost comparable to the time when Xianbei Shanyu and Lian were killed. Western Xianbei
Your Excellency, Rilu, deduced the defeat of being captured, but the losses of the Xianbei soldiers were not serious. Even though it still caused the Xianbei people to feel extremely painful, as long as they gritted their teeth and endured it, they still had the ability to continue fighting.
The Xianbei people even need a battle to break into a tacit understanding between the new commanders and the soldiers. If they can even take advantage, the leader's position will be more stable, and Qian Man's inner ambition will be firmly blocked.
As for the Xianbei people who appeared again, the atmosphere in Chigu City was obviously no longer as tense and fearful as before, because after the last victory, even though the losses were somewhat huge, the Wusun people still got rid of their "Xianbei fear" hat.
Even though the assassination of Li Shushi has made Chigu City a little nervous in recent days,
, but for the ordinary soldiers and people of Wusun, this does not change their views, and it will even deepen - the enemy has begun to fear the Wusun people and the Han people joining forces, otherwise why would they come to assassinate the Han generals, because they
We know how powerful Wusun and Dahan can be after joining forces.
In this way, it slightly improved the Wusun people's view of the Han people.
Regarding the Wusun people's optimistic mood, Li Shushi and other senior officials of the Bingzhou Army did not know what to say. This kind of mood that always likes to go to extremes is obviously not conducive to keeping calm in the battle.
But they couldn't say much. After all, they were still outsiders after all. The time they had been operating in Wusun was too short and they could not integrate into the local people. Naturally, it was difficult to really influence anything. Even for Queen Wusun, now
Although the mood in Chigu City is equally worrying, it is better than the previous surge of capitulationism. At least she does not need to worry about anyone else taking the initiative to contact the Xianbei people, or even if they contact the Xianbei people, the price they offer will be
It made the Xianbei people angry.
Of course, some voices clamoring for a comprehensive counterattack or even killing the Xianbei people back to the Mobei grassland should still be suppressed.
But in fact, Li Shushi also discussed with Jia Xu, such as dragging the Xianbei army here, and then sending small groups of troops to the depths of the grassland to destroy the Xianbei people's rear, so that the Xianbei people would be hard-pressed to retreat or have to retreat.
However, the result of the discussion made Li Shushi extremely frustrated.
Because there are no areas where troops can be sent - the areas that can give the Xianbei people the most direct blow are the three major areas of Yongliang, Bingshuo and Youji. Among them, the troops in Youji either fought to death with Dong Zhuo in Sili or were defeated by the Bingzhou army.
They had to go home to protect themselves, and it was unrealistic to ask them to cooperate with Li Shushi, the enemy, to send troops northward.
Although Bingshuo had the ability to send troops, it was only his ability. In addition to wanting to rescue the emperor from Dong Zhuo, Mr. Lu Zhi only wanted to restore the territory of Shuozhou, so the Xianbei people there remained.
The largest number of soldiers and horses were deployed to defend against Lu Zhi and even Bingzhou's attack, hoping to bypass Xian
The sentries of the Bei people penetrate deep into the enemy's rear, and the army basically has no chance. In addition to dealing with the Xianbei people in the north, Bingzhou also needs to worry about the coalition of princes in the east. Even if the opponent is already in strategic defense, if the Bingzhou army despises the opponent because of this,
Then the defensive posture may immediately turn into an offensive posture.
As for Yongliang, being able to give the Flying Bear Army to Li Shushi was Dong Zhuo's biggest help. After all, he still needed more troops to defend the coalition of princes in the east. If there was not little chance, maybe he would rather use the Flying Bear Army to defeat the coalition of princes.
It would be good to drive out Sili instead of burying his bones in a foreign land like now. Or even if we don't deal with the Guandong princes, it would be good to kill the restless Han Sui and stabilize the rear.
As for other areas, even the Qiang people who are very good at dealing with the Qiang people have difficulty adapting to the open environment of the grasslands and the unpredictable cavalry assaults. After all, just like Li Shushi's experience in fighting the Xianbei people, host and guest, offense and defense are very different to Xianbei.
The impact of human combat effectiveness is still very huge, and this difference also applies to any army.
"I always feel that the Xianbei people are like a barbed fishhook with a fragrant bait on it. You say you don't want to eat it, but they are always dangling in front of you, tempting you. But if you pounce on it, you won't get the food in your stomach.
Not to mention, that hangnail is really painful."
Regarding Li Shushi's complaint, Jia Xu smiled and said nothing, while Lu Bu shook the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand fiercely, with an excited look on his face. Although Zhao Yun didn't express much, he raised his eyebrows.
The raised corners of his mouth proved that he was in a really good mood.
at the same time.
"It seems that I am one step ahead this time, so don't let me stop you and let me pull you further away."
"Hmph! Just wait, I won't give up just like that. But you'd better be careful, don't let those wolf cubs from Bingzhou take your head off before your butt is seated. I won't accept it so easily.
thing."
Su Li and Que Ji can be considered old friends. They are slightly older than Mika in age, and they became famous earlier than Mika. However, because of He Lian, they did not
Being able to win the battle for the Eastern Xianbei Lord has become a regret in the hearts of the two people. And it is precisely because of this incident that the two old enemies who were originally competing with each other have now become close friends.
Playing tricks on people can be described as ordinary.
In the past two days, under the leadership of the leader, Suli became the new Eastern Xianbei Lord. Although Mika is still in captivity, the position of Eastern Xianbei Lord, who is responsible for managing most things in Eastern Xianbei, cannot be left vacant.
Moreover, once the Bingzhou Army used Mijia's name to issue some false orders or messages, the Xianbei people would not tolerate it. Therefore, even though Qianman had some doubts about this matter, he did not struggle too much.
Of course, Qian Man did not give up completely. In fact, he also made a suggestion - add three more seats for commanders under the masters of each department. If the three commanders all oppose the orders of the masters, then the order must be invalidated.
.
This is a measure to restrict the leaders of various tribes, but considering that it requires three people to oppose it at the same time, it is not an easy task, and moreover, more tribal leaders can be arranged to join him in such a name, so the leader only hesitated slightly
After a while, he agreed to Qianman's plan, even if this plan slightly increased Qianman's reputation.
In this way, Que Ji and Duan Heita, the leader of the Duan tribe who was far away on the Xianbei grassland in the east to guard against the Fuyu people, became two of the three eastern canal commanders. The last seat made the leader somewhat hesitant, after all, some of the Yuwen tribe
The small movements made him somewhat unhappy
, but the fact that the Yuwen Department was able to send troops to support his actions really gave him face when he was suppressed by Ke Zui and Mijia. So in the end, with Qianman's help, the position of Qu Shuai was given to Yuwen Puhui, the actual controller of the Yuwen Department.
Not his son Yuwen Niluo.
This can be regarded as a kind of kindness and power to the Yuwen Department.
The position of Lord Xianbei in the central region was handed over to his younger brother Bu Dugen, who was the young man standing behind Zhilan Luoluo that day who looked very much like He Lian. Although he was a little impulsive because of his youth, he calmed down and still
He is a trustworthy young man, just like what he did during the retreat that day - he was a little impulsive at first, but after calming down, he was able to command the demoralized Xianbei troops to retreat with relatively small losses, and even let the pursuers behind him
The Wusun people suffered a small loss.
Although some people are unhappy with such an appointment, the central Xianbei grassland is the smallest among the three Xianbei tribes and has the least number of high-quality pastures. At the same time, there are no powerful tribes there after Ke Zui and Chitan Luo Luo died in battle.
Kuitou put his brother there more because of the rights of adults. In fact, everyone knew that Bu Dugen would not bring his brother's power to the grasslands of central Xianbei. Doing so would not only weaken Kuitou
and will intensify competition within Xianbei in central China.
In fact, when the leader hinted this to the three central Xianbei commanders, they naturally became supporters of the leader. Besides, two of the three newly appointed central Xianbei commanders are Ke Zui and Zhi Jiuluo.
Luo's sons, they lack the strength of their fathers
Prestige, without the secret support of the leader, I am afraid that even if they can keep the pastures originally controlled by the tribe, the tribes that were originally attached to them will be divided up by other tribes. In fact, this trend has already appeared a while ago.
.
The last Qushuai leader from Xianbei in central China was unexpectedly given to the bald man from the Bald Tribe. This was also a strategy to deal with Qian Man. The leader knew very well that the eldest son of the former leader of the Tuoba Tribe was in the Tuoba Tribe.
He hopes to win over the Tuoba tribe through such means, even if he cannot win over the Tuoba tribe, he will not seek refuge in Qian Man's arms.
Maybe Kuitou cannot compare with He Lian in terms of military force, and even judging from Qian Man's qualities, it is possible to surpass him; maybe Kuitou is not an invincible commander, at least Ke Zui and Zhi Qiang have already died in the battle.
At best, he can only imitate Luo Luo's advantages, but he cannot truly become his own ability to integrate them. However, he also has his own specialties, and for the current Xianbei, these specialties of his can actually make Xianbei unite more effectively.
stand up.
Although Qian Man has potential, he is still too young after all. Kuitou affirms the potential of young people, but if potential can never be transformed into strength, then it is just potential after all.
The battle that is about to break out is the best opportunity for Leader to prove this to Qian Man.
PS: Today is the day when Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, passed away. Many people are influenced by various versions of the Tang Dynasty and believe that this man would have no chance of sitting on the throne if he did not have several good sons, brothers or even good daughters. But many people
They didn't pay attention to Li Yuan's management in the first half of his life, including the connections he built, the bases he built in Taiyuan, and the stability and ruthlessness he showed in suppressing peasant uprisings and fighting against Turks.
So if you want to make an analogy, you can probably compare Li Yuan to Yuan Shao - noble birth, excellent ability to operate the bureaucratic system, and huge social connections. The alliance between Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son is exactly equivalent to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fighting against each other. In other words, this
Don’t be too powerful~ Of course, the final victory
The winner is still Cao Cao, that is, Li Shimin's children's shoes. The reason for Li Yuan's failure was not that he was incompetent, but that Li Yuan chose to solve the problem within the bureaucracy system, and Li Shimin jumped out of that system when he found out that he was no match. As a result, the scholar met the soldiers, and Li Yuan
Youli can't "speak" to your own son.
PS2: Today is the day that the generation of singer Michael Jackson died unexpectedly. Because it is relatively close in time, we will not comment too much. Anyway, his songs and his dances are the crystallization of human civilization, and his experience
