Chapter 274: A Gathering of Heroes, the Rise of the North
Chapter 274 A group of heroes gather together, and the situation in Northland rises again
After a long journey, 80,000 cavalry entered the territory of Taiyuan County and set up camp fifty miles away from Langmeng County.
The tribesmen of Bu Dugen and Xie Guini all lived in the area around Langmeng County, and Bi Guiize, the governor of Wei Bing Prefecture, led the army and was stationed in Jinyang.
Kirby was able to use the excuse of marriage alliance to lure Bu Dugen and Xie Guini to betray Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, and return to the embrace of the Xianbei tribe. He also threatened that if the two did not obey, they would meet in war.
Since this was a plan that had been discussed early in the morning, Ma Di did not intervene and only watched the whole process.
Langmeng County, West Xianbei Station.
"Report! Kirby can raise 80,000 troops and has arrived at Luochuankou, Langmeng County!"
When Bu Dugen heard the news, he shook his head in pain. The thing he least wanted to see finally happened. In fact, when he defected to Wei more than ten years ago, he had been worried: One day, Kirby
They might use all their troops to invade, and the Xianbei people would go to war with the Xianbei people.
Over the years, such scenes have been staged countless times, and the scale of the war can be controlled within an acceptable range.
But today, the scale of the war is out of control.
If Kirby Neng's offer of surrender is refused, then the two sides will definitely fight. Kirby Neng has more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, so many soldiers and horses are simply not something that he and Xie Guini can withstand.
In fact, in the past ten years, as Kirby has been pressing forward step by step, Bu Dugen has been retreating step by step. In other words, Bu Dugen's choice to join the Wei State was not because he was devoted to Wei and to cooperate with Kirby.
Although he could be an enemy, he just wanted to hide under the powerful wings of the Wei State and survive, so he chose to surrender to the Wei State.
If the Xianbei tribe now had a heroic leader like Tan Shihuai, Bu Dugen would never choose to join Wei.
Unfortunately, since Tan Shihuai's death, no similar hero has emerged from the Xianbei tribe, and the only person whose ambition is close to Tan Shihuai's is Kebi Neng.
But Kirby Neng is only close to Tan Shihuai in terms of ambition. In terms of ability, Kirby Neng's ability is far behind Tan Shihuai.
Bu Dugen paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
He was worried that if he did not agree to Kirby's request, the latter would immediately rush the army to fight.
As of today, the Xi Xianbei under his command only has more than 40,000 households, hundreds of thousands of tribesmen and more than 10,000 cavalry. The military strength is so different from that of Kirby that he is no longer a match.
Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, only had more than 20,000 troops under his command. The combined strength of the two armies was still far away from that of Kebi. What's more, Bi Gui's idea was to "wait until both Xianbei and Xianbei were defeated before sending troops to clean up the mess."
I won't join forces with him.
Bu Dugen's face looked ugly, because Bi Gui's troops had not come until now, which further verified his guess.
Xie Guini's face was also ugly. The grievances between him and Kirby Neng could not be finished in a book. His father Fu Luohan was killed by Kirby Neng, and he was forced to become a
In recent years, the subordinates of the enemy who killed his father fled from Kirbyneng with their subordinates and came to Taiyuan to join his uncle Bu Dugen.
After a few years of good times, Kobe was able to come back again.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and sighed together.
Although Kirby Neng has a bad reputation among the Xianbei people, at this moment, the two of them have no choice but to believe in Kirby Neng.
The uncle and nephew are well aware of the danger of today's situation. If they don't turn to Kirby, it will be difficult for them to improve.
But once they choose to surrender to Kirby Neng, the powerful Wei State will definitely not give up, and the Xianbei people will most likely die; and if they choose to reject Kirby Neng and surrender, they will most likely die.
The difference is whether you die earlier or later.
Dilemma!
………
When the sun rose on the fifth day, Kirby Neng started the military parade again. More than 10,000 elite cavalry marched majestically past the general stand and were inspected by Kirby Neng's sharp eyes.
On the high platform, Kirby Neng led the first general Zonu, his third brother Alstai, his son-in-law Yu Zhugejian and other leaders with serious faces.
Under the high platform, Ma Di's four major generals all had their eyes widened with "bewildered" expressions on their faces.
This is Kirby's third military parade in just ten days. This strange behavior is difficult for the four major generals to understand, not to mention that this military parade was held in the hinterland of Taiyuan.
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but ask: "General, what is he going to do?"
The other three generals nodded quickly with confused expressions on their faces. It seemed that they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Kirby could sell in his gourd.
It stands to reason that since the Xianbei people came all the way here, they should have immediately wiped out Budugen with lightning speed, defeated Bigui, and occupied the entire Bingzhou. Even if they just wanted to unify Western Xianbei, they should have immediately attacked Budugencai.
Yes, but now the army is being reviewed here instead?
Ma Su opened his arms, looked up at the sky, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a vague voice: "What do you feel?"
The four generals quickly closed their eyes and followed the instructions. After a while, they opened their eyes and looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.
They didn't feel anything, they just felt that the galloping horses were a bit noisy, and the wind was particularly noisy today.
"Position, Kirby is gathering momentum!" Ma Di gave the answer in a deep voice.
"Gathering momentum?" the four asked in unison.
"That's right, get ready! Kirby doesn't want to beat Xi Xianbei to a pulp. This will do him no good at all. What he wants is a complete Xi Xianbei, so he wants to defeat others without fighting."
Ma Su opened his eyes and pointed to a few low hills not far away. After all four generals turned their attention, he explained: "Have you seen those scouts?"
The four major generals nodded in unison.
Ma Di continued: "These scouts, including Bu Dugen and Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, have been monitoring us since we first arrived here yesterday."
The four major generals suddenly realized it, and Zhang Xiu said: "Oh, it turns out that Kirby's ability to review troops and horses is for them to see."
Afterwards, the four people praised in unison: "High, General!"
Ma Su looked at Li Sheng and Huang Xi who were smiling, and then glanced at Yang Wanwan and Zhang Xiu who were shrugging and laughing. He felt very pleased, but said angrily: "Okay, stop pretending, I know.
You have all seen it. Tell me, what other evil ideas do you have?"
The four generals looked at each other again, Huang Xi nuzzled at Li Sheng, Li Sheng nudged Yang Wanwan with his elbow, and Yang Wanwan kicked Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu had no choice but to say: "General, if Bu Dugen leads the troops to surrender and Kirby can retreat, wouldn't our trip to the desert be in vain? We have to think of a way for Kirby to be able to reconcile with Bi.
The rails are about to start fighting."
"Oh? What good ideas do you have?" Ma Di looked around with a smile. Seeing that the Xianbei soldiers around him were far away, he looked at Zhang Xiu with his hands behind his back.
Li Sheng snorted and then added in a low voice: "General, if you don't implement a plan of alienation to prevent Bu Dugen from joining Kebineng, the alliance will not be possible. The two sides will inevitably go to war. By then, Bi Gui will be involved and it will be difficult to be alone. Isn't this the case?
Hey hey hey..."
As Li Sheng spoke, he raised his hands and sneered, his smile particularly sinister.
Ma Su was very pleased. After several years of teaching by words, deeds, and real battle examples, the four major generals had grown to a gratifying stage. They knew military aircraft and strategies, and could be called good generals.
If the full military ability score of generals in this era is set to 100 points, then Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun all score around 95 points, which are comparable, and all four major generals should have exceeded 60 points.
Thinking of this, Ma Su praised: "Yes, the four of you have made rapid progress and are worthy of being good generals. When this trip to the grassland is over, I will recommend you to the prime minister to lead the army alone."
The four of them were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly exchanged glances. They were not sure whether Ma Su's words were true or just to test whether everyone had different intentions.
There was silence for a while.
Ma Su smiled and asked: "Why, you four don't want to lead the army alone?"
think!
But we are afraid that you are digging a hole for us to jump into... The four generals thought at the same time and looked at Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu bit the bullet and struck from the side: "General, how do you think the military capabilities of the four of us can be rated?"
"In my opinion..." Ma Su looked around the four people and said seriously: "They are all very good. I am very satisfied. I'll give them 9 points."
The general thinks so highly of us?!
The four major generals were shocked, and suddenly felt that the matter of "being released as a general" was settled, and they held hands and congratulated each other.
"congratulations."
"Same joy, same joy..."
"congratulations!"
"Joy and rejoice together!"
After a warm congratulation, seeing that the Xianbei people's military parade was still going on, Huang Xi asked curiously: "General, in your opinion, what is Prime Minister Zhuge's military ability?"
Yes, we all scored 9 points. How many points did Prime Minister Zhuge get? Could it be a perfect 10 points?
The other three generals nodded in unison, with curious faces on their faces.
"Prime Minister, he knows everything about astronomy and geography. He is capable of both generals and ministers. He can be called a perfect man." Ma Su said with a smile: "I'll give him a score of 95, which is about the same as Sima Yi."
What?
It’s actually a hundred-point system?!
The faces of the four major generals suddenly fell.
The four of us are actually just scumbags of war. It seems that there is no chance of leading the army alone.
Yang Wanwan asked unwillingly: "What about you, General? How much do you score?"
As soon as he said this, the other three people all looked over.
"Well..." Ma Su counted on his fingers. After several years of tempering, his own military ability has become a first-class commander in this era. It is about 90 points. If you add the system.
Thinking of this, he said modestly: "It's about 990 points."
"..."
It’s actually a thousand-point system!
The four major generals were defeated at once.
…
After the military parade, Kirby Neng led a group of leaders down the high platform, came to Ma Su, and said with an arrogant expression: "Can our Xianbei cavalry be considered a great soldier in the world? I don't know how to compare with the most elite Wudang flying army under the general's command."
,Which side is stronger?”
Ma Su nodded: "The cavalry under the king's command can be called the best cavalry in the world. It is indeed slightly stronger than Ji Han's Wudang flying army."
Kirby could look around at the leaders behind him and laugh loudly, his proud laughter spreading along the wind for half a mile.
Seeing this, the four major generals curled their lips and looked disapproving.
Kirby could notice the expressions of the four generals, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he asked Ma Di with wide eyes: "Is it possible that the Wudang Feijun is not the strongest military unit of Shu Han, and that Shu Han still has other strong soldiers?"
Ma Su nodded: "Yes, there are continuous crossbow soldiers. Each crossbow has thirty rounds. Compared with the Wudang flying army, their combat effectiveness is about one to ten."
Kirby was shocked, "Is this true?"
It's not that he doesn't believe that the Shu Han has continuous crossbowmen, but he doesn't believe that one of the continuous crossbowmen can be used as ten, or ten of them can't be used as flying troops. This almost means that one continuous crossbowman can be equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a Xianbei cavalry.
If the Shu Han could equip the company with crossbows on a large scale, it would be self-evident to whom the world would eventually belong.
"That's absolutely true!" Ma Di chuckled: "Actually, the crossbow soldiers are not our strongest unit in Jihan. I wonder if your Majesty, have you ever heard of the city-breaking soldiers? They were the soldiers I used to defeat Liangzhou in the past. No matter how strong the city is, it can't be defeated.
It cannot stop the bombardment of the rain of stones and fire, it will be destroyed in an hour or three!"
"..."
Kebi Neng suddenly fell silent, and all the Xianbei leaders were also speechless. Naturally, they had heard about the whole story of the Battle of Liangzhou. The ability of the Shu army to attack difficult positions in that battle was really terrifying.
However, after that, the Shu Han Dynasty never used that kind of siege equipment. Therefore, everyone felt that the Shu Han Dynasty only had a few siege soldiers and crossbowmen with various cutting-edge siege equipment.
The quantity is insufficient for use in large-scale wars.
But now listening to Ma Su's implication, it seems that Shu Han has many of these two types of troops.
Kirby asked solemnly: "I wonder how many company crossbowmen your country has? How many siege troops there are?"
"No less than ten thousand!"
After saying these words, Ma Di didn't wait for Kirby to come back to his senses, looked at the cavalry camp aside, and said in a deep voice: "Everything that happens next depends on the king."
Kirby was able to get off the donkey along the slope and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I have 80,000 troops here. I don't think Bu Dugen dared to be ignorant of current affairs and try to resist the heavenly army."
Ma Su smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that there are not only Budugen and Xieguini here, but also the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou. In addition, in Youzhou, Tian Yu also has 30,000 strong troops; in addition,
Your Majesty has always been at odds with Su Li and others, and if you are not careful, Xianbei will fall into a situation where he is surrounded by enemies on all sides."
Kirby was able to restrain his smile and nodded seriously: "I have set up an ambush at Luochuankou, waiting for Bi Gui to come!"
"Then let's wait for the good news from your Majesty." Ma Su cupped his hands and walked away with his four generals.
Kirby could stand still, silent.
I have to say that what Ma Su said is very reasonable. Although Zhongxianbei looks powerful today, there are many enemies around, and the situation surrounded by wolves requires him, the leader, to deal with it carefully.
Xianbei's first general, Zonu, Alstai, Yu Zhugejian and others standing behind Kirby Neng were all secretly depressed and looked at Ma Su's leaving figure angrily.
As a visitor from the grassland, Ma Su's aura was even more arrogant than King Kirby's, which was unbearable to them.
Zonu waved the big ax in his hand, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Your Majesty, I will chop them up!"
The other leaders also echoed: "Your Majesty, this man is too arrogant, kill him!"
Kirbineng's third brother Alstai and his son-in-law Yuzhu Gejian looked at each other. The latter said: "Your Majesty, think twice. My son-in-law heard that Ma Di has an unpredictable plan. The war is about to start now, and it is the time to hire people.
But let’s keep him alive for now. Until the war is over, um…”
As he spoke, Yu Zhugejian made a cutting motion with his hand knife.
Kirby could raise his arms, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to say anything, I have my own opinion!"
…
the other side.
Kebi was able to induce Bu Dugen and Xie Gui Ni to rebel against Wei, and marry Bu Dugen. He also led more than 10,000 troops at Luochuankou in the north of Xingbei to welcome the two Xianbei families and assets. The news reached Biguier, the governor of Bingzhou.
In the middle, Bi Gui immediately sent his generals Su Shang, Dong Bi and other troops with an army of 20,000 to stop the attack.
The war between Xianbei and Cao Wei is about to break out.
