Chapter 378 Aliens gather in Hanshan Mountain, Duan Ying rides her horse into the river
Of course, this strategy was not thought up by Shi Le, but by his confidant Kui'an.
The system strengthened Shi Le twice in succession, but they failed to bring out the strongest Zhang Bin. As a result, Shi Le's number one counselor is now Kui'an.
However, Kui'an's own abilities are also good. Just like this time, what he came up with was a naked conspiracy!
This kind of strategy is the most terrifying, because even if the person involved knows that this is a trap set by his opponent, Er Zhurong and Tan Shihuai have to get into it for the sake of their tribe.
It is precisely because these two forces began to join that Shi Le was able to survive until now under Xue Rengui's fierce attack.
As for the Jurchen tribe, they just came to take advantage of the situation. Although the strategic location of the Hetao area is important, it is not that important to them.
After all, they have their own horse farm.
However, for the Northern Xiongnu, the Hetao area was a matter of concern to them. The tribe's survival was at stake. Once the Hetao was lost, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.
Therefore, Wanyan Wu, a beggar, persuaded his brother Wanyan Aguda to lead 20,000 Jurchen cavalry to participate in the alliance, just to gain some benefits from the Northern Huns first.
If the Han army can be repelled, these things will also be of great benefit to the emerging Jurchen tribe. If they cannot be repelled, they should comply with the call of Changshengtian.
Therefore, these major forces in the grassland all came to Danhan Mountain to participate in the alliance.
In order to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Hetao.
The Xianbei army decided to send out 150,000 troops.
Er Zhurong, the leader of the Qiang people, dispatched an army of 50,000.
This time, Shi Le's whole clan went out to sell pots and iron to get enough for 120,000 young men.
The Jurchen tribe Wanyan Wu begged for money and dispatched 20,000 cavalry.
Coupled with the other miscellaneous tribes in the Hetao area, the total strength of the alien coalition is close to 400,000.
…………
But what those alien coalition forces on Danhan Mountain didn't expect was that while they were pulling for profit, Wang Yu had already started taking action.
He directly appointed Duan Xi as the chief general, Zhang Huan as the deputy general, Dongfang Chengyu as the vanguard general, Di Qing, Shi Yu, Zhang Zhong and others as subordinate generals. He commanded 30,000 cavalry and launched a surprise attack on the Hetao area.
The land of the Hetao and the flat plains are the best place for the cavalry to perform. In addition, the Bingzhou Army was caught by surprise, so it was able to catch the foreign coalition forces by surprise.
……………
At this time, the forward troops of Bingzhou Army were within the tent of the Central Army.
The commander-in-chief of the army, Duan Xi, sat facing south and north, at the head of the tent, while his deputy commander-in-chief, Zhang Huan, sat at the same table with him, occupying the position below him. Below him, the vanguard general Dongfang Chengyu, and
Deputy pioneer Zhou Yunqing.
Di Qing, Li Dongshan, Shi Yu, Yawen Dang, Zhang Zhong, Wang Zhen, Meng Chaoyang and others were wearing helmets and armor and were lined up on both sides of the tent, standing with their hands hanging down.
This time Wang Yu appointed Duan Xi as the chief general and Zhang Huan as the deputy general, but with his unique arrangement, as the only remaining Sanming in Liangzhou, their abilities were actually about the same.
However, there is one thing about Duan Xi that Zhang Huan cannot compare with, and that is his terrifying record against foreigners. Duan Xi can definitely perform exceptionally well when facing foreigners.
In addition, it is his own bad taste. Duan Xi has been bullied because of his family background. Even the relationship between the two of them is that of enemies and friends.
Therefore, Wang Yu is planning to let them bid farewell to the past and completely clear up their past feud through this battle in the Hetao.
Duan Xi and Zhang Huan were naturally aware of Wang Yu's arrangements. They had been fighting in the court for their entire lives, but in the end, they ended up like this.
Since Wang Yu gave them the opportunity to step down, they were naturally willing to accept it. They were all dead old bones, so they could use their last remaining energy.
In order to strengthen this vanguard army and complete the planned strategy, Wang Yu stuffed a lot of fierce generals into it, including the Five Tiger Generals of the Northern Song Dynasty in the novel. He just doesn't know what their combined skills will bring if they are triggered.
an effect.
"Everyone, a spy has come to report that the front of my vanguard army is the camp built by the Northern Huns over the years. It is called Chifeng Pass. There are 10,000 troops stationed in the pass."
"This pass was built by the Northern Huns four years ago to guard against our army. If this pass is not taken, our army's subsequent troops will face the danger of being attacked from both sides."
"In order to ensure the safety of Chifeng Pass, Shi Le set up a Chifeng camp thirty miles east of Chifeng Pass and stationed 30,000 troops inside. Once there is a change in Chifeng Pass, troops can be sent out at any time to help!"
"The battle of Chifengguan is very important. Whether our army can fight easily next depends on this battle. I have a plan on how to act specifically. You just need to act according to the order and make no mistakes."
Duan Xi first told about the strength of the troops inside Chifeng Pass and the surrounding arrangements, and then emphasized the importance of this battle and asked them to get high spirits.
"Promise." Under the stimulation of Duan Xi's words, Dongfang Chengyu, Zhou Yunqing and others agreed in unison.
Seeing that everyone had restrained their laziness, Duan Xi nodded immediately, and then began to issue military orders, arranging how various ministries should act.
At this time, Duan Xi looked at Dongfang Chengyu below, and then said: "Where is the pioneer general Dongfang Chengyu?"
"The end will be here." Dongfang Chengyu quickly stepped forward to receive the order.
"General Dongfang, you are still the vanguard general this time. Lead your troops and set off immediately to camp outside the west gate of Chifeng Pass tonight and establish contact with the guard Liu Hu."
"However, along the way, we still need to send sentries and patrols extensively to ensure that this operation is foolproof and that the Northern Huns' scouts must not get any information."
"After the follow-up army arrives, you need to rest for a while and conserve enough strength. At midnight, you, the vanguard general, will lead the troops to launch a surprise attack on Chifeng Pass and complete the victory in one battle." Duan Xi immediately told Dongfang Cheng.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Hu, a descendant of the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, the grandson of Qubei, the Youxian King of the Southern Xiongnu, and the great-grandfather of Helian Bobo, the founder of the Hu Xia regime.
In the third year of Yongjia (309), he succeeded the tribal leader and attached himself to the Jin Dynasty in the early days. However, he secretly developed his troops and eventually rebelled. He was defeated by Liu Kun, the governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Tuoba Yilu, the acting leader of the country.
After that, he led his troops to join Liu Cong, Emperor of Han and Zhao, and joined the imperial family. He worshiped General Anbei and Zhonglang General Ding Ling, and was granted the title of Duke Loufan.
In order to avenge his past, he repeatedly attacked Dai State, but was defeated repeatedly.
He died in the seventh year of Xiankang (341), and his son Liu Wuhuan came to the throne.
Liu Hu was brought out by Tuoba Shi Yijian, but he was not implanted into the Qiangqu camp, but as a hawk, opposed to surrendering to the Han people.
Therefore, Liu Hu did not join the southern Xiongnu camp, but instead joined Shi Le. It was precisely because of his support that Shi Le was able to appease some stubborn Xiongnu forces in such a short time and continuously improve his own strength.
After Shi Le was stable, he began to target Liu Hu, weakening his strength, and promoting people he trusted. However, Shi Le did not go too far on the surface, and instead behaved very generously in front of others.
That is to send Liu Hu to Chifeng Pass.
This is a strategic location for the Northern Huns.
As long as Chifeng Pass is in hand, Shi Le can coordinate the overall situation, respond to the Han army's attack, and even take the opportunity to attack the Han army's rear area or the only way to pass the grain road.
However, in fact, Liu Hu, the guard general of Chifeng Pass, was only on the surface. The actual chief general of Chifeng Pass was Shi Le's younger brother Shi Xiang.
Of course, this person is not a system figure, but a local figure. Although his ability is not outstanding, he is not weak, so Shi Le sent him to garrison here.
It was precisely because Liu Hu was living a miserable life in the Northern Huns that he gave Fushui Fang the opportunity to spy. With constant contact from the Fushui Fang spies, Liu Hu was persuaded last year and was willing to return to the Southern Huns.
However, Liu Hu made several requests to the spy and asked him to report them to Wang Yu. When Wang Yu learned about them, he immediately agreed. These requests were not excessive.
It was precisely because of this chess piece that Duan Xi launched this raid, in order to capture Chifeng Pass at the minimum cost and lay a solid foundation for the Battle of Hetao.
However, since they want to make a surprise attack, they must seize this opportunity and produce certain results. Duan Xi's request is very simple, that is, to capture Chifeng Pass at the minimum cost.
Therefore, the vanguard army must pay special attention to such an opportunity.
"The last general will take your orders." Dongfang Chengyu immediately agreed and made his debut.
After Dongfang Chengyu accepted the order, Duan Xi looked at the others, and then said: "Where are Di Qing, Shi Yu, Zhang Zhong, Li Yi, Liu Qing, Li Dongshan, and the Yawen Party?"
"The general is here." Di Qing and other generals stood up one after another, their eyes filled with happiness.
"You are temporarily under the command of General Dongfang and will lend him a helping hand." Duan Xi gave the order.
Within Chifeng Pass, there are only 10,000 defenders.
Dongfang Chengyu has a total of 10,000 cavalry under his command. If it is to attack a stronghold, it is indeed a problem to capture it by force.
But now, the vanguard army does not need to launch a strong attack. Liu Hu only needs to open the gate and enter Chifeng Pass. Once the army enters Chifeng Pass, it can be said to be more than enough to deal with the 10,000 troops inside.
What's more, in order to increase the success rate of the assault, Duan Xi also sent Di Qing, Shi Yu and others to Dongfang Chengyu. According to what Wang Yu said to him before leaving, these people are all lucky people.
.
If we fight together, we can produce unexpected results.
Although Duan Xi didn't understand the reason for this, since Wang Yu dared to say this, he must have a reason, so Duan Xi did not separate the five Di Qing people.
However, Duan Xi, who has been through the battlefield for a long time and has been reborn from the ashes, also knows very well that if he can open the door, capturing Chifeng Pass is not a problem at all, because he does not pay attention to the 10,000 defenders inside.
What he really values is the Chifeng camp thirty miles away. There are 30,000 troops stationed in it. This is an uncertain factor. Duan Xi does not want them to cause trouble.
As a result, Duan Xi's eyes instantly glanced at Zhang Huan, who was in a calm mood, and he already had some concerns in his heart.
"Old guy, what are you trying to do?" After seeing the look in Duan Xi's eyes, Zhang Huan suddenly felt a little weak, and his intuition told him that this old boy didn't hold it in well.
And this is also true.
………………
Duan Xi chuckled, looked at Zhang Huan and said, "Ran Ming has always been loyal to his duties, but I wonder if he is willing to listen to my military orders."
Zhang Huan suddenly twitched when he heard this. He had no idea what Duan Xi meant. He wanted to seize the opportunity to suppress him in order to repay the grudges left by the Fengyi battle.
In the battle at Fengyi Mountain, Duan Xi led more than 10,000 troops and carried 15 days' worth of food and grass, while the Qiang soldiers had 30,000. Facing three times the enemy, Duan Xi decided to go into battle himself.
Encouraged by his words, the army jumped into battle and launched a sudden attack on the Qiang soldiers. In the end, the Qiang army collapsed. In this battle, more than 15,000 enemy troops were beheaded and 280,000 cattle, horses and sheep were captured. The Han army
A great victory.
After learning the news, Empress Dowager Dou, who was in power at the time, believed that Duan Jiong had cleared away the hatred of defeat for a hundred years and comforted the souls of loyal generals. His contribution was significant, and the court highly praised him.
When Dong Qiang is completely pacified, his meritorious deeds should be remembered together. Now, Duan Qiang is temporarily given 200,000 yuan and a member of his family is appointed as the doctor. At the same time, the Zhongzang Prefecture is ordered to allocate money and gifts to increase military expenditures and
Appointed Duan Jiong as General Po Qiang.
However, at this time, Zhang Huan, who had always advocated recruiting, went to the court and said that although the Dongqiang was broken, the remaining species would not be easily eliminated. Duan Qiang was frivolous and courageous, and he was worried that he would be defeated and would not be able to guarantee victory.
You should use kindness and trust to recruit surrender, so that you will not regret it.
After Duan Jiong received the edict, he quickly wrote a letter to express his attitude. Because with the support of the Wang family, he could continue to conquer the Qiang people and pacify all the Eastern Qiang people.
Because of this incident, the relationship between the two completely broke down, and Duan Juan also had murderous intentions towards Zhang Huan. It was Wang Xuan's intercession and Zhang Huan's own admission of his mistake that saved him from the disaster.
Now, Duan Juan is commanding Zhang Huan just to bring the events of that year to a successful conclusion. How could Zhang Huan disagree? He quickly replied softly: "The general is the chief general, and the last general is the deputy general. As long as there is an order,
The general will not dare to make a mistake and will obey orders."
Seeing Zhang Huan's attitude, Duan Yan suddenly felt that he had gone too far. After all, they were friends in times of need.
So Duan Juan helped Zhang Huan up, smiled softly and said: "General Ran Ming, could you please lead an army of 10,000 to attack Chifeng Camp, but only after General Dongfang takes action."
"As long as General Dongfang takes action, of course you can start the action. What's not worth noting is that you have to bypass Chifeng Pass to attack. In addition, when you attack, you must let the scouts of Chifeng Camp discover it.
General, your whereabouts this time!"
After hearing Duan Jiong's arrangement, Zhang Huan's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he stared at him carefully, turning into an endless sigh: "Ji Ming, Ji Ming, it seems that no matter how long it takes, you are still the audacious Duan Jiming."
