The attack from the Korqin Grassland at the eastern end of the Mongolian Plateau to Xiangping is obviously two completely different routes.↖,

The latter first needs to cross the Xiaoling River and then capture Yangle County, the former Liaoxi County capital, in order to obtain the front-line base needed to attack the Liaodong region. Of course, you can also consider Tuhe and Bintu in the south, but no one will be willing to put Yangle, the largest city in eastern western Liaoning behind them - when it belongs to the enemy.

After that, you need to cross the Yu River, which is basically the area of ​​today's Daling River, and then you also need to cross the wetlands eroded by seawater in the vassal state of Liaodong. If everything goes well, you need to face the Daliao River, the largest river in the western part of Liaodong County. It goes south along the Daliao River in Liaodong County. There are three county towns, from north to south, namely Wangping, Liaoyang (not today's Liaoyang) and Liaosui. Not to mention Wangping, the distance between Liaoyang and Liaosui is roughly the same as that between the three, and it can be said that it forms a system similar to an equilateral triangle.

However, for the army coming from the western Liaoning Corridor, Liaosui is obviously more important than Liaoyang, because this is the intersection of the Great Liao River and its most important tributary, the Xiao Liao River. Seizing this place means being able to cross two important rivers that defend Xiangping at the same time. It also means that Xiangping City can be said to be close to you and there is no longer any obstacle.

As for Liaoyang, we not only need to cross the Liao River, but also need to cross the Daliang River, a larger tributary that flows into the Xiaoliao River. In fact, Xiangping City is built on the plain near the intersection of the dummy water of the Daliang River and the Daliang River, which is the current location of Liaoyang City. Therefore, for the army coming here through the western Liao Corridor, the land of Liaosui is a must-fight for military stratum.

On the other hand, although it is necessary to cross the Daliao River to move south from the Mongolqin Grassland, it is obvious that it is difficult to fully defend the river for hundreds of miles. Even the Xianbei people could give up attacking Xiangping directly and take the Xuantu. The vast Liaohe Plain could be allowed to gallop by the Xianbei cavalry. Even if there are natural barriers in the river, under the mobilization of the Xianbei cavalry, the Liaodong army could neither set up formations along the river nor concentrate defense, which made the defense difficulty of the Liaodong army countless times.

The only thing that can be expected is the only one who can be restrained by the flanks, but no one dares to give a positive answer under the attack of the Xianbei cavalry that is coming and going like the wind.

What's more, there are Xianbei infantry in the Xianbei army who are walking on flat ground among the mountains and have strange strength. The mountains nowadays are probably not called "friends" of the Fuyu people, but rather are called fair grounds for both sides. Even though the Fuyu people still have certain advantages as indigenous people, such advantages have been infinitely flattened compared to before.

This is enough for the Xianbei people.

"In this battle, we must achieve enough results, and it is best to be able to shake the enemy's spirit, otherwise it will be too difficult for our army to survive this time."

"To put it lightly, the enemy is coming and going like the wind, and we can't catch them at all. If we cannot force them to fight on the battlefield we preset, we will be completely dragged down in their continuous and completely unpredictable battle."

"So the key to everything is how to mobilize the other party and let them fight our army on the battlefield we need?"

"So how should we lure the other party into the battlefield preset by our army? This time the Xianbei people performed very strangely. They didn't look like they wanted to rob wealth or population. The people we contacted in private were gone forever."

"Maybe it is because Qian Man commanded the army, and those who had once opposed it must be cautious, fearing that they would be caught and punished by them. But now that Su Li is leading the troops alone, we will lure them to value profits. Maybe it may be successful."

Although the Yingzhou Governor, the most trusted governor of Gongsun Du, performed poorly in Qingzhou, but once Liaodong and Qingzhou are across the sea, it is very difficult to exchange information, material transportation and military delivery, so the defeat of Yingzhou cannot be said to be completely Liu Yi's responsibility. Moreover, if the civil strife in the Central Plains had not allowed a large number of refugees to enter Liaodong by sea, greatly enriching the power of Liaodong, perhaps Gongsun Du would not have the power to be severed by the surrounding foreign races.

According to one side, this also caused the talent available to Gongsun Du, whether civil officials or military generals, to be very scarce. Most of the scholars who came to Liaodong did not buy the Gongsun family's accounts. Even if there were occasional people who were willing to serve in the Gongsun family, they still needed to be investigated and could not be trusted for the time being, or there was no one who had the talent that Gongsun Du ignored his thoughts and used people without doubt. Therefore, Liu Yi, a "wise man" who was tall among his son, was still the right-hand man that Gongsun Du had to rely on.

In addition to Liu Yi, Yang Yi is only good at handling civil affairs, and Gongsun Mo also has some skills in battlefield dispatching.

The rest, such as Han Zhong and Zhang Chang, are just generals who can be used. Perhaps Youju and Ranren also have some strategies, but if they put their hopes in the hands of those Goguryeo people, Gongsun Du might as well surrender directly to Qianman, and perhaps they could get rewards from a Xianbei.

Even though he still felt a little uneasy, Liu Yi, who was able to make suggestions, was already a rare existence compared to others. Even if he proposed the idea, even if Gongsun Du himself felt that there were some loopholes, he could only try to make this idea perfect when there was no better opinion.

Otherwise, what else can happen? Could it be that the enemy will seize the city and wait for the other party to completely harm the land in Liaodong, and starve to death next year without any harvest? Or is it that the opponent will completely use the strategic kite flying skills to completely kill his troops in the field?

Since there is no way to delay the movement advantages of enemy cavalry, we can only adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into depth.

Although the unpredictability of this method is really too strong, after all, it is arranged entirely based on past experience. But everyone knows that the Xianbei people this time are probably completely different from the past. So can this strategy really work?

It can only be said that planning is up to people and success is up to heaven.

I just hope that the other party will step into the set trap because of being too greedy.

To everyone's surprise, the person sent by Gongsun Du to contact Suli achieved unexpected results. The Hu monk named Hu Anbian actually persuaded Suli, making Suli believe that attacking the capital of Xuantu's capital would get more rewards than directly attacking Xiangping, and it would not require so much life to be paid - at least to ensure that his status in the Xianbei will not plummet because of a war. Especially when the Xianbei is undergoing a major reshuffle.

Of course, even so, the eloquence of this monk named Juanbian is still eye-catching.

Speaking of Hu, the "subject name" was a very interesting existence in the Han Dynasty. Among the Han people, Hu Guang, a famous minister from the Eastern Han Dynasty from Nanyang, not only served as a prominent official position like Situ, Taiwei and Taifu, but also received a very good posthumous title like "Wen Gong" in the history of another plane. Even the funeral specifications after death were hailed as the most civil officials since the revival of the Eastern Han Dynasty. There was also Hu Zhen, who was quite despised even in the Western Liang army. Perhaps he had a blood vein of a foreign race in his body, and he still had some courageous performance on the battlefield.

Even among the Hu people, Hu Cheer and Hu Chier, two famous Hu generals in the late Han Dynasty. Naturally, there are some Hu monks who start with Hu as their names. These people are not only proficient in many languages, but also have very good knowledge, and most of them are significantly different from those in the Central Plains. It is easy for people in the Central Plains to think of the term "foreigner" when they see it.

It sounds like the Chinese society that has not yet been reformed or opened up or the early stages of reform and opening up, and even requires explicit orders to "ban on watching foreigners" to prevent the Chinese people from watching endlessly.

By the way, a second son of the Sun family had blue eyes and purple beards, and his appearance was obviously different from those of the Central Plains. Then his mother dreamed that the sun flew into his dream again. It seemed that according to the inference of the famous Western monk Fr, Mrs. Wu, it should be because Mrs. Wu had a strong demand for certain things and was unavailable. Considering that Sun Jian kept working hard outside for his own and his family's power in those days, those foreign monks could not only recite scriptures, but also had great skills. So...

Ahem, these are all irresponsible conjectures. Anyway, according to genetics, the greater the difference in genes between fathers, the higher the health of the child they can get, which is more conducive to the next generation of eugenics and eugenics, so it may not be a bad thing.

Moreover, Sun Jianqing'er was "light but unprepared" and died at the hands of a slut. As sons, Sun Ce and Sun Yi also inherited this very well. On the contrary, the second son of the Sun family, even if they were influenced by their father and brother, was so inclined to "turn to justice" when they were persuaded by Zhang Zhao, and they were called the longest-lived emperor of the Sun family.

OK. The topic is a bit wrong, please come back.

In fact, strictly counting it, although the word "Hu" is placed at the forefront of the name, it should not be considered a surname at all. In fact, the so-called "Hu" character is just a symbol of identity, symbolizing that the identity of the person referred to by the name is a Hu person who is not a Chinese citizen. In other words, Hu Cheer's true meaning is "Hu people named Cheer".

The same is different. The word "An" is the word "An".

There were Hu monks in the Eastern Han Dynasty named An Xuan and An Qing. Their first name "An" can be regarded as a surname, but also as a symbol of identity like "Hu". An Xuan was once a citizen of An Xi Kingdom, and An Qing was said to have been the prince of An Xi Kingdom. However, because he liked Buddhism and wanted to study in the Han Dynasty, he gave up his inheritance to his uncle.

Whether you believe it or not, you can take it as if it really listened.

So although it is called Juanbian, in fact, this is actually a Hu monk named Anbian.

Suli accepted the persuasion of Hu Anbian, and did not go straight to Xiangping, but pointed directly at the Goguryeo County, the capital of Xuantu. In fact, although Suli did not seem to follow Qianman's idea, the military discipline was always bad when the Hu people robbed. It was not surprising that the front-line generals changed their routes in the middle of the journey and wanted to find more valuable goals. As long as it did not have a significant impact on the main goals of the army, the commander turned a blind eye to such behavior.

Because this is really a matter of not ruling the public, and no matter how strict the ban is, it is prohibited.

However, Suli was a Hu general who had fought an old war. In addition to greed, he was also quite cunning in nature. Even though he had decided to set his target in Goguryeo, he still sent about 3,000 troops to attack Xiangping in a tentative direction - naturally he was defeated by the well-prepared Gongsun Du army - but it was not so tentative attack, but rather a tentative attack, it was a sporty reconnaissance operation. Seeing that the Liaodong Army set up a formation along the river at the important road and was not as bluffing, he successfully retreated after leaving more than a hundred bodies and met with the main force. The news naturally made Suli feel satisfied and march towards Goguryeo.

At this time, Goguryeo County, the capital of Xuantu County and Houcheng County, which is close to Goguryeo, had already been mobilized. It was not to be prepared to resist the enemy, but to withdraw most of the military and civilians from Goguryeo. Only a small number of troops and a certain amount of military funds were left behind. In order to lead the emperor into the trap and make Suli convinced that Goguryeo had enough resources to attract him, Gongsun Du still had considerable courage. Or if he did not do this, then these supplies might still be in the pockets of the Xianbei people. Instead of beating his chest and stamping his feet at that time, it would be better to let him play a greater role at this time.

In this case, the advanced army led by Suli was about to arrive outside the city of Goguryeo.

Among them, the one who led the 3,000 vanguard troops to take the lead was Suli's most trusted personal guard general, and his relative Kebari. It was this person who led his troops to Xiangping to test the defense strength of Gongsun Du's troops. The three thousand vanguard troops he led now were almost composed of the 3,000 rangers.

At that time, Kebari almost "perfectly" completed the task assigned to him by Suli, so Suli gave the glory of now leading the attack on Goguryeo City to himself, his loyal and brave confidant.

It was at noon that the sun was coming, and Kebari led his three thousand "iron armored troops" to the Goguryeo City. You may also see some villages that were no longer crowded, but Kebari, who "shouldered heavy responsibilities", naturally could not pay attention to the kind of idle ribs that were tasteless and discarded. His goal was very clear, which was Goguryeo City ahead.

But when it was still a little distance from Goguryeo City, I saw a unit that seemed to be composed of many old and weak in line in front of the dense forest, and looked like a defender who fled from the city. As a veteran who followed Suli to rob south for countless times, and sometimes even led the rangers to act alone, Kebari was naturally very familiar with this scene. So I didn't need to think too much, and naturally I didn't need to report to Suli behind me. Kebari shouted:

"My boys, follow me to take down those 'two-legged sheep' and make a good start for the adults' actions today!"

As Kebari thought, when he heard the rumbling cavalry assault, the old and weak Han people who had been evacuating in a hurry were even scared and fled in all directions, leaving their backs to the powerful Xianbei people who were good at riding and shooting.

This can be said to be a fatal mistake with inexperienced.

But Kebari found that even if he really discovered that the enemy had made such a mistake, he could not use it. Although the enemy was very cowardly, he was also very cunning. They, who were already very close to the dense forest outside the city, seemed to have an instinctive will to escape when their lives were threatened. They took two steps at a time, and soon they fled into the dense forest. The speed was so fast that the Xianbei cavalry did not have the chance to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands.

This is really unlucky.

Of course, what made Kebari even more helpless was that they didn't dare to really chase into the dense forest.

After all, Suli's troops were very orthodox Xianbei cavalry, rather than the newly emerged Xianbei infantry, which had strange strength and was completely different or contrary to the tradition of the Xianbei army. They could regard mountains and hills as nothing. As traditional Xianbei cavalry, not only would they be greatly affected after dismounting, but this influence would be even greater in the dense forest. The Fuyu people, who were like mountain monkeys, took advantage of the characteristics of the Xianbei people to compete with the Xianbei people until now.

Although the people of Fuyu did not dare to get involved in the grassland, the result of this two-part relationship still made the Xianbei people, the overlord of the grassland.

But there was no way. No matter how unwilling he was, Kebari would not dare to pursue the forest on his own initiative. He even had to convey the news of discovering the enemy's movements to Suli behind him, so that Suli would decide whether to risk sending scouts to the dense forest.

Kebari was not afraid of the old, weak and disabled soldiers of the Han people. In fact, what he was really worried about was the legendary old opponent Fuyu people who joined forces with the Han people to fight against the Xianbei people. If there was an old opponent Fuyu people lying in ambush in the dense forest, even if Kebari doubled his troops, Kebari would not be able to guarantee that he could escape from the dense forest under the ambush of Fuyu people.

"Monkey Yona, what's going on!"

Perhaps Suli didn't care about the escaped old, weak and disabled soldiers, but he took the opportunity to threaten or tease the calm and wise monk of the Western Regions who was admirable and convincing when he persuaded him was still very attractive to him.

But Xi Suli is destined to be disappointed.

"The people in the city did not dare to resist and escape into the mountains when they heard the king's reputation. This is naturally due to the king's majesty. The little monk would like to congratulate the king first. Even if the people here heard that the king was so lucky, it would be easy for the king to make achievements in this battle. At that time, I would like to ask the king to agree to the monk's request to build a temple in Liaodong."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" When Juan Bian heard that he asked him to do his job, Su Li's mood was even more comfortable, and the smile on his face became several times stronger. Faced with the news from Kebari, he waved his hand and made the other party put it first in Goguryeo City.

Sure enough, for the Xianbei people, the wealth that is close to them is the hard truth compared to the Han people who are difficult to find in the mountains and forests.

The city of Goguryeo arrived in a flash.

At this time, Goguryeo City was opened with four gates and no one stopped it. It seemed that there was no one in the city. It looked like an empty city.

Seeing the quiet city where only the wind could create a little sound, Kebari couldn't help laughing three times, and the left and right were confused, satisfying Buckman's eagerness to sell his passion.

"I laughed at Gongsun Du as a coward. The Han people had only had slaves for us, but they had to flee into the mountains and learn from those "mountain monkeys" to Fuyu people. But this was a matter of course, because our army was so strong that we could not match these Liaodong cowards!"

Of course, the left and right would not have wiped out the excitement of Kebari at this time. They all praised each other and looked eager to try.

"Okay, I know what you are thinking now, but before the lord arrives, we will not be able to transgress. First collect the pots and food everywhere, and wait until Lord Suli arrives, listen to his orders and act with Lord Suli's generosity. We, the elderly who have followed him for so many years, will not let us lose money. Can you still believe Lord Suli!"

"I wish to listen to the Lord's orders!"

In fact, the advance teams did not wait long, Suli led his troops into the city that seemed to have become an empty city, and his first reaction to enter here was exactly the same as that of Kebari.

But he quickly realized that he was a little suspicious and immediately looked at Juanbian beside him with a strange expression.

"Why did the Han people escape? Is there any Han people's plan here?"

Although Suli also believed that the Han people were weak, he also knew that the Han people's strategies were quite powerful. Even if they were much stronger than the Han people, they would still be obsessed with the Han people if they were not careful, so Suli had to be careful about this possibility.

"It is probably because I know that Qian Man Shanyu's army is behind the adults, so I want to escape at all costs. After all, for those big men, even if they defeat the adults through hardships, they will have to pay a huge price. This is obviously an act that is not worth the loss. It is better to retain the vitality and maybe maintain their original status - at least even if they want to change to a new master, they will be more popular than having stronger power."

"What you said makes sense." Because Suli himself thought so, otherwise he would have been head-on with the Liaodong Army long ago.

So, Su Li, who finally felt safe, arranged his subordinates to rob everywhere and gained a lot. If it weren't for the woman who could find the Han people to relieve her excitement, this time the action would be perfect.

That night, Suli's army stayed in this empty city of Goguryeo. Although the grassland people were not necessarily used to the Han residences, they had ready-made houses, but they were reluctant to spend more time building tents. Suli even moved into the prefect's mansion, which represented the identity, under the guidance of Juanbian.
Chapter completed!
