101. The wisdom of discriminating against 9 is wrong
The day's offensive and defensive battle finally ended with the rise of the moon. The Xihe County soldiers miraculously suppressed their battle losses to less than 3,000 men. Among them, more effective cooperation and mentality, sufficient supplies, and timely treatment were all factors.
The number of battle losses was far less than the battle against the Jie people last winter. Considering that the main battle losses in the battle with the Jie people were concentrated in the offensive and defensive battles on the second day, it is enough to achieve such results today.
The efforts of the soldiers were very fruitful.
Of course, Li Shushi would not need to complete such work as cleaning the battlefield, so Li Shushi was happily taking Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Zhao Yun among the soldiers to brag and beat them. The businessmen and powerful people were also attracted by the outstanding performance of Xihe County soldiers.
Full of hope for the coming battle, a large number of livestock were sent to the army for labor.
It's a pity that it's still a war period, so drinking is not allowed. The big soldiers can only sit around the fire and eat Zhizhi Qiang boil. However, because the battle was won and the losses were not big, everyone is in a good mood.
Gao, the protagonist Li Shushi, who is still active on the battlefield even though he is young, has also won praise from the majority of soldiers.
Well, after this night, there may be another reason, and that is that Li Shushi is still a very people-friendly official.
The people eating barbecue hot pot in Lishi City tonight were Xihe County soldiers who had just come off the battlefield. Although Li Shushi didn't know the heroic words He Lian made before the battle, he could still guess that if He Lian knew about them
If he happily eats the roasted Qiang boiled food here, he will probably be quite depressed, no, he may even become furious.
However, whether He Lian was furious or not had no effect on Li Shushi. He was not interested in caring about the mood of the Xianbei co-leader. In other words, from the standpoint of an enemy, the enemy of this big man had better be crazy to be more enjoyable to see.
Well. But obviously not everyone is as lucky as Li Shushi. Some people have to face this Xianbei ruler who is obviously in a bad mood.
"You guys, can't you even compare to the timid and cowardly Han people? Are you warriors who have persevered through all kinds of difficult environments worse than the Han people who always like to hide in warm rooms?
…”
He Lian was obviously very dissatisfied with today's battle, because he did not see any sign of collapse of the Han army on the opposite side until the end. It was still so rigorous and orderly. This was He Lian's last helpless signal to signal the withdrawal of troops at sunset.
The reason for the horn
, although the night will make long-range weapons ineffective, for the Xianbei people who need to climb the city wall to reach the top of the city wall, I am afraid that the night will have a greater impact on them, and if the continuous pressure is lost, the battle at the top of the city wall can actually be
It is announced that it is over.
Since there is no hope of victory, Helian is not really reckless and reckless. Although he is eager to take over the city in front of him, he is also responsible for the tribes of Xianbei in the west, because this is his
The territory directly under the Xianbei administration has a natural sense of closeness compared to the central Xianbei and eastern Xianbei tribes. This is a precious asset left to him by his father to support him in continuing to sit on the throne of Xianbei co-leader. Of course, this
It is also the fertile grassland that Ke Zui and others are most jealous of.
However, we still need to beat the enemy, otherwise the Xianbei troops who suffered losses are likely to adopt a passive offensive attitude tomorrow, and the result of this southern invasion will basically be an anticlimax.
After a few days of fierce attack, you have to withdraw no matter what the result is, otherwise you will really miss the best time for breeding. Leaving the grassland for a long time can easily make those small tribes ready to move, although Helian is pretty good to them.
, but the grassland people have developed the habit of paying more attention to the benefits that can be obtained in front of them, not to mention that they can only feel at ease when they get it in their own hands.
It's just that He Lian's beatings had completely opposite results in different people's ears.
This is the camp of the Tuoba tribe located in the northwest of the Xianbei camp. A slightly different tent stands slightly south of the center of the tribal camp. The number of soldiers standing next to it is the same as the height of these soldiers.
Looking at it with concentration, it is obvious that this tent has an extraordinary identity. And a big conspiracy is brewing in this tent.
"Pi Gu, is your information accurate? This is a matter of life and death for our clan. We must not be careless."
Tuoba Jiefen looked at his son Tuoba Pigu in front of him with a solemn face. Next to Tuoba Pigu, a child who looked younger than Tuoba Pigu was kneeling. At this time, the faces of the three people
There was a solemn look on the face, especially the child who was sitting upright with a serious face as if he was holding a memorial service for someone, which made people wonder if all the children of this era are so strong.
"Yes, father, the news is indeed reliable. It was encountered by Pu Lun when he was patrolling the outside world with several tribesmen. According to him, he originally just wanted to find out who the other party was, but the other party's words were very arrogant and unreasonable.
, but considering that the other party claimed to be the messenger of Xianbei Shanyu, and the other party also took out the Shanyu's token, Pu Lun didn't take it to heart.
But I didn't expect that one of the people in the opponent's team said, 'He's just a poor man whose tribe is about to perish. Why bother with them?'. Pullun felt that something was a little fishy, so he secretly attacked the opponent with his men and captured him.
A guard of the other party. Although the guard had a tough talk, no one could compare to the uncle's tactics. Soon he said everything."
"Damn He Lian, I, Tuoba Jiefen, thought that I had never done anything sorry for you, and I actively supported you in every aspect, but I never thought that you would treat me like this. I hate it so much. Fortunately, Tian Bujue
I, Tuoba tribe, everything you do has been discovered by us. Since you have treated me like this, Tuoba tribe, then don’t blame me, Tuoba Jiefen, for taking revenge."
"Father, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although Nahelian killed me and the Tuoba tribe, but based on the strength of the other party and the attitude of the big tribes such as Yanxiyou towards us, we can even pass the news back to the tribe.
I’m afraid it won’t help. We have become accustomed to the freshness of the fertile grasslands in Monan, and it will be too difficult for us to return to a disgusting place like Mobei.”
It turned out that Helian's luck in going south this time was not much better. Although he sent an emissary back to the grassland to ask his subordinates who stayed behind in the grassland to preside over the battle to annihilate the Tuoba tribe, he never thought that this move would be happened by the Tuoba tribe's scouts.
, and then because of one’s own
A slip of the tongue leaked out and allowed the Tuoba tribe to respond in time. And considering that the mountain range to be passed over or through the area controlled by the Huns was required to deliver the message, I am afraid that Helian's envoy could not be faster than Tuoba.
The postscript’s messenger still has two theories.
Of course, the senior officials of the Tuoba tribe were extremely angry after receiving the news, but the gap in strength made these people a little confused. After all, after coming to the Monan grassland, the strength of the powerful tribes in the western Xianbei could even dominate Mobei.
The Tuoba tribe also looked at it with side eyes, not to mention the most elite Xianbei Royal Guards in Xianbei. Against this army, Tuoba Jiefen and other elders felt a little chilled just thinking about it. There was no way out.
To advance; to retreat, but unwillingly.
"Liwei, how could you not be clear about the father and uncles you mentioned?"
Looking at his second son Tuoba Liwei, who was only twelve years old, Tuoba Jiefen's originally bitter face also showed a slight smile. However, because his face just now was too miserable, this smile was worse than that of a certain host.
Her smile still looked like she was crying.
"Father, how about we surrender to the Han people? Look at the Huns. Although they have become the watchdogs of the Han people, at least they have the grassland that even we envy to develop the tribe. As long as our people can continue to be like in Hulun Lake
If we can unite and work hard there, I believe that within twenty years, we will become a tribe more powerful than the Huns. By then, as long as there are internal changes in the Han Dynasty, it will be a good time for us to go south, and then my father will be my leader.
He is the founding leader of the Ba tribe."
"This idea is good, but it is so difficult to implement it. Can our tribe reach the Han border under the siege of the major tribes in the grassland? Can we get recognition from the Han court when we get to the Han border? Will it be recognized in the future?
There is a conflict with the Huns. If a conflict occurs, can we defeat them? Even if it can be solved, do you think our people will still be able to endure hardships as before with such superior conditions? With such a superior environment,
Will it give rise to other thoughts?"
After all, Tuoba Jiefen was the clan leader who had been handling tribal affairs for several years. Little Tuoba Liwei was blushing and unable to refute the questions he asked. Maybe it was only then that he realized that it was so easy to dream, but in practice it was.
So many difficulties.
"But it's good that you have so many ideas of your own. I'm proud of you, father. Of course, Pi Gu is also great. Although he lost to the Han warriors, it was a fair competition after all, and it was also a rare opportunity for you.
For training. Well, since this time our Tuoba tribe is bound to encounter disaster, and Xiao Liwei doesn’t have to be buried with the whole clan, you choose some people you can control from the children of the ten surnames to surrender to this
The governor of the city."
"No, father, please let me and my eldest brother help you overcome this difficulty together."
Hearing that his father wanted to surrender, little Tuoba Liwei immediately became anxious, with a cry in his voice.
"You are usually smart, but now you are confused again. We have personally experienced the wisdom and fighting power of the Han people in this city. It is indeed extraordinary. I am afraid that this battle will not have any results.
There is no shame in surrendering to such an opponent. And you are a child. According to the habits of the Han people, they will not do anything to you. Take this opportunity to lead your companions to learn Han Chinese writing and skills from the Han people.
If your eldest brother and I cannot save the Tuoba tribe, then you will stay with the Han people and become a general of the Han people and strive for the opportunity to avenge us. If the Tuoba tribe hears about this crisis, then your knowledge and skills will also become the Tuoba tribe’s
The most important cornerstone for the future development of the Tuoba tribe. You have a very heavy task, and you may have to endure the ridicule of others. So, Tuoba Liwei, tell me, the leader of the Tuoba tribe, can you complete the task?
.”
At the end of his speech, Tuoba Jiefen's tone suddenly became serious. Looking at his father's majestic eyes, little Tuoba kowtowed three times in front of his father.
"I, Tuoba Liwei, promise to complete the tasks assigned by the patriarch! I hereby swear an oath to the Great God Xuanwu!"
