Chapter 985 Surprise

   Ke Bineng was beheaded before the battle, causing the Xianbei Huqi, who had been a little broken, to be defeated immediately.

  Yi Cong Huqi chased death and chased north. Many Xianbei Hu people were driven into the big river, where they drowned countless people and their corpses drifted away.

  After the war, Governor Feng, as he said before the battle, collected enough war horses and selected 5,000 meritorious men from Hu Qi from Cong Yi.

  Promised them to continue westward on their own, to Gaoque, and plunder the tribes of the Xianbei Hu people.

  After this battle, tribes with more than a thousand riders could be temporarily organized in a short period of time in the area south of Yinshan Mountain, and they were wiped out.

  Five thousand righteous horsemen are enough to run amok.

   Time is running out. After defeating Ke Bineng, Governor Feng has no time to slowly clean up the mess.

  He called the people together and commanded:

   "Liu Liang, you are responsible for which tribes that were originally attached to Ke Bineng can be used by the big man, and how to gather them together."

  Liu Liang was overjoyed when he heard the words:

   "Good will live up to the expectations of kings and princes!"

  Being a grandson here in Yinshan for so long, now the feng shui turns, let's see how I can flex my muscles.

   Governor Feng looked at Xu Xun again:

   "Xu Xun, you will be in charge of these five thousand horsemen, stay at Yinshan Mountain, and see if you can raise some more food and grass, just in case."

  Xu Xun quickly responded, and then asked with a little hesitation:

   "Your Majesty, is this planning to leave these five thousand Huqi alone in Yinshan?"

   "Yes, what's the problem?"

   "Junhou, the Hu people have never had faith, and they are still obedient when they are restrained by the Junhou on weekdays. If the Junhou leads the army to leave, Yinshan will be a place where the Hu people gather. What if..."

   Governor Feng smiled when he heard this:

   "Yuan De rest assured that Yi Congjun's relatives are far away in Liangzhou, and every branch of the army has a military commander. Who dares to have two hearts?"

   "Even if they want to rebel, who will support them?"

   It's a good day in Liangzhou, but go to the desert to eat sand?

  Some leaders may have such thoughts, but who would be willing to do it?

   Besides, even if they rebel, where can they find a tribe that supports them?

   You can't count on the Xianbei Hu people in Yinshan, right?

  First there was the massacre in Qiaoshan, and then there was the battle in Wuyuan County. The hatred between the two sides was in full swing.

   Liu Liang appeases Ke Bineng's old troops, Xu Xun looks at Yi Cong Hu Qi, as long as the two sides can maintain a balance for two or three months, it is enough, and Guanzhong will almost be able to tell the winner.

  Although Xu Xun has been the logistics staff officer of the Liangzhou Army for a long time, he has never led the army, so he is a little worried.

  At this moment, I was relieved to hear Governor Feng's explanation:

   "It turns out that Junhou had planned for a long time ago, but I was too careful."

   Just as Feng Shishi led the army back to the north and swept away the Hu people in Yinshan, the Luoyang court was full of joy.

  Cao Rui circulated the memorial sent back by Sima Yi to all the ministers, and said with a smile:

   "It is said that Feng Thief is cunning and has never been defeated. Hearing about it in Guanzhong, his face changed. I didn't expect to meet Da Sima this time, but he came back without success. It's really a joy."

  Cao Rui's health has not been very good, and in the past few years, he has been addicted to alcohol and sex, excessive indulgence, which made his body weaker and weaker.

  Especially when they heard that the Shu captives had invaded Guanzhong with all the power of the whole country, the people of Wei State were panicked.

   Over the past two months, Cao Rui's mood has been extremely bad.

   After all, since the first battle of Longyou, the Great Wei lost Longyou first, and then Liangzhou.

   In the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng Zei was famous all over the world for winning more with less, which can be regarded as the node of the strategic situation change of Shu Wei.

  After the defeat of Liu Bei and Yiling, in the past ten years when Shu and Wei fought again, the Great Wei fought and failed repeatedly.

   Not to mention that many people in Guanzhong fear Sichuan like a tiger, even in Luoyang, there are many people muttering in their hearts:

  Shu captives have become more and more powerful over the years, Feng Zei has dominated the world's literary spirit, and I heard that Hanzhong is also prosperous in literary affairs. Could it be that Liu Han is really exhausted?

  Nanxiang paper was brought into Luoyang by caravans in the early years, and it has been sought after from the very beginning.

  Has the reputation of "smooth and smooth, far surpassing Cai paper".

  Shu has both civil and military equipment, no wonder some people have such thoughts.

  So it is not difficult to understand that many people are worried about the fact that Shu is bound to win Guanzhong this time.

   It is probably because the kidney qi is too weak, which makes the deficiency fire more likely to rise. These days, Cao Rui's temper has become more and more irritable.

   Fortunately, there is a goddess in the harem who can bring relaxation and joy to His Majesty, often turning His Majesty's anger into joy.

  Just in this way, the already frail emperor looked even paler.

  But at this time, Cao Rui's pale face showed a rare rosy color, showing the joy in his heart.

   "General Xiaoqi (Qin Lang) strategized and forced Anding's bandit army to retreat without fighting, quite like a general."

   "Feng thief is tyrannical, and the barbarians are ungrateful. They met to go south, but they fought halfway. Now Feng thief retreats from Qiaoshan. Presumably, he is afraid that the back road will be cut off by Ke Bineng, so he is eager to lead the army back north."

  Cao Rui said excitedly, "The Shu captives came in three routes, and the two routes were defeated without a fight. I believe that Ge Bandit will also have to retreat south to Hanzhong soon."

  Jiang Ji, the Central Guard Army, saw this, and went up to play:

   "Your Majesty, although Bandit Feng led the army back to the north, he still ordered people to stay at Qiaoshan and capture the generals of Shu. This bandit is the most cunning."

   "The thieves haven't all evacuated from the front of Qiaoshan Mountain, so we can't say for sure that Feng thieves retreated. We still need to be more careful."

  Cao Rui laughed and said:

   "In my opinion, Feng Thief's move is just a cunning one. If he leads all the troops out of Qiaoshan at once, it will reveal the unstable morale of the army."

   "At that time, there will be Kebi in the north who will be able to prevent it from returning. If the Great Wei follows behind and Feng's bandit is under the enemy's back, won't he become a trapped beast by then?"

   "Therefore, leave some bandits to guard Qiaoshan, so that they can return to the north with peace of mind and open a retreat route. Then let the bandits from Qiaoshan retreat slowly. This is the best policy."

  Seeing that Jiang Ji had something to say, he knew what he was thinking, so he explained:

   "Your Majesty, don't worry, now that there is a Grand Sima in Guanzhong, the main purpose is to force the enemy back, and he will not let the soldiers attack easily, so as not to fall into the trap of the thieves."

  Jiang Ji retreated.

  Cao Rui sighed inwardly.

  If it was ten years ago, even if Guo Huai didn't want to chase, he would personally order the Great Wei Jingqi to pursue him.

only…

well!

   Bandit Feng crossed the desert and came from the north, he must have brought his cavalry with him.

   Even if it is the elite cavalry of the Great Wei, now facing the cavalry led by Feng Thief, he has to avoid its edge.

  Da Wei Jingqi is really going to chase out of Qiaoshan and meet Feng thief in the desert. It is not certain who will chase who.

Yang Ji, the leader of the   zhong, came out and played:

   "His Majesty formerly ordered the recruitment of Hebei soldiers. The army has arrived in Hanoi County. Now the situation has changed. I don't know whether to continue to reinforce Guanzhong or make other arrangements?"

  Cao Rui pondered for a while, and said:

   "Although the Shu captives have retreated two ways, the Ge thieves still have 100,000 people stationed in Wuzhangyuan. Don't be careless."

   Speaking of this, he paused, "It's just that if Hebei soldiers continue to reinforce Guanzhong, it will be a waste of money and food."

   "If you don't want to be stationed in Hanoi for the time being, if there is a change in Guanzhong later, you can reinforce it at any time."

   "Secondly, you don't have to work too hard, you can also save some money and food, and wait until Ge thief is defeated, and then stop the army."

  Although it was easy to say in front of everyone, Cao Rui knew in his heart that Jiang Ji's reminder just now was indeed very reasonable.

  Feng thief seems to have left Qiaoshan and headed north to open his way back, but as long as the Shu captives do not completely withdraw from Qiaoshan for a day, they cannot be taken lightly.

  More importantly, last year, Jingzhou also seized a letter from Sun Quan sent to Ge Bandit, which contained an agreement between the two parties to jointly send troops to invade Xinjiang.

   Now the Shu captives came as promised, but Wu Kou has not seen any movement, so we must guard against it.

  The only thing that can be comforted in this battle of Guanzhong is that Feng Zei and Ke can compete with each other. No matter which side wins, it will be a good thing for Wei.

   It would be best if Feng Zei was defeated and tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Shu were buried in the desert. In this way, God bless Wei.

  But Cao Rui does not report hope for this.

  After all, even the fine cavalry of the Great Wei was defeated by Feng Thief, and how could Ke Bineng beat the iron cavalry led by Feng Thief?

  However, if Ke Bineng is broken by Feng Thief, it will also help Wei solve a potential threat to the north.

  Cao Rui thought quite well this time.

  If it is someone else, things will really develop as he thinks.

  It's a pity that what he encountered was a soil turtle who crossed illegally, a soil turtle with 1,800 years of experience.

  For example, the soil turtle knew that defending the river must guard the Huai River, but Sun Quan didn't think of this at the beginning.

  In other words, he underestimated the importance of Jianghuai at the beginning.

  By the time he realized it, the 100,000 achievement had already been achieved.

  For another example, everyone in the world knows that "the one who wins the Central Plains wins the world".

  But only those with outstanding vision know that before winning the Central Plains, it is best to occupy the western Guanzhong, or Hebei, and the next level must be at least the South.

   After no worries about the future, and then compete in the Central Plains, it will be easy to win the world.

   But no matter how brilliant your vision is, it is impossible to break through the limitations of the times and see things thousands of years later.

  Before Li Tang took over the world from Taiyuan, even if some people paid attention to Bingzhou, probably no one could realize how important the internal and external mountains and rivers were.

  During the Pre-Han period, since the Huns were first divided into northern and southern parts, the area from Yinshan to Yanmen has been the place where Han people kept watchdogs for hundreds of years.

   It was only during the Han Dynasty that they raised the Southern Huns.

  At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Cao Wei period, the gatekeepers became Xianbei people.

  Although the guard dogs sometimes want to turn their heads to bite their masters, they are always knocked down by the master with a stick, and then drive them to bite the enemy in the north.

  When Kebi Neng was the strongest, Budugen shrank in the Yanmen area, relying on guarding the door for the Wei people in exchange for the support of the Wei State, so that he could not be annexed by Kebi Neng.

  Yanmen was regarded as one of the most important barriers in the north in later generations. During the two to three hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it was not fortified against the Hu people all the year round. This kind of thing is unimaginable in later generations.

  The practice of two or three hundred years has deeply imprisoned the thinking of most people in this era.

  In fact, twenty or thirty years is enough to change people's impression of history.

  Take the impression of later generations on World War II as an example. In the 1960s and 1970s, the West still admitted that the Soviet Union defeated Germany.

  By the 1980s and 1990s, it became the United States and the Soviet Union to defeat the Axis powers together.

  After the fall of the Soviet Union, some blockbusters began to vigorously promote the United States as the savior of the world.

  Ten years after the millennium, some have begun to claim that the Soviet Union is an accomplice to the Axis of Evil…

  Ten decades can distort history to such an extent, not to mention the practice of the Han Dynasty using Yanmen to bring Hu people to guard the gate, which has lasted for hundreds of years.

  No one in Wei State can see more than a thousand years later, so they don't know the pain of a certain Song after losing Youyun Sixteen States.

  The so-called Youyun refers to the area around Youzhou and Yanmen.

  Even Cao Cao would never have imagined that he would dismember the Huns into five parts, and that the Huns would come back a hundred years later.

  Therefore, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, Wei Guo raised Xianbei Hu people to guard the gate in Yanmen County, which is not wrong.

  The mistake is that they forgot that they are not a unified Han Dynasty, and their main energy is to face the south and the west.

   Instead of mobilizing the whole country's troops to the north like the Han Dynasty.

  So they would not have thought that King Feng Gui sacrificed 20,000 Xianbei Hu people in Qiaoshan in front of all the Wei troops.

   Then he pretended to be anxious to go back to the north, fighting to the death with Ke Bineng, but it was just to cover up an ultimate goal: Yanmen County.

   At this time in Yanmen County, the watchdog for Wei Guo is Xie Guini.

   Budugen, the first Xianbei janitor in Yanmen, had an elder brother named Fu Luohan.

  Xieguini is the son of Fuluohan.

  Back then, Fu Luo Han and Ke Bineng made an oath, but Ke Bineng hacked him to death in public.

  My lord was hacked to death in front of him, Xie Guini not only didn't think about revenge, but instead led tens of thousands of cavalry to join Ke Bineng, who killed his father and enemy.

   Not many years later, he was persuaded by Budugen who was stationed in Yanmen again, so he led his followers to sneak away to join his uncle.

  Unexpectedly, there is a governor in Bingzhou, who is arrogant and extravagant. He often plunders the barbarians, making the barbarians of Bingzhou miserable.

   Budugen was furious, and he would rather take refuge with his mortal enemy Ke Bineng than be bullied by Bigui.

  Bi Gui led his troops out of the pass to pursue Budugen without authorization, but was defeated by Ke Bineng at the building west of Yanmen Fort, and almost wiped out his entire army.

   Then there was Qin Lang who led the Chinese army north to Bingzhou and defeated the coalition forces of Ke Bineng and Budugen.

   After this defeat, Kebi Neng was seriously injured, so he simply killed Budugen, annexed his remaining troops, and ran to Yinshan to lick his wounds.

   And Xie Guini, it was another double defection, and he led the remnants back to Yanmen to surrender to Wei.

  Cao Rui didn't care about his past, and even named him King Guiyi, letting him continue to lead his troops to guard Yanmen County.

  Xie Guini, this person can be said to be a veritable house slave of the three surnames, and judging from his actions, he is really as timid as a mouse.

  But it was also precisely because Xieguini was stationed at Yanmen that Governor Feng never thought of breaking through Qiaoshan from the very beginning.

   Instead, he made a set of fancy moves to confuse Wei Guo, and then sent Guan Suo to raid Yanmen at a critical moment.

   Just when Cao Rui was dreaming of the dream of Feng Yong and Ke Bineng fighting against each other and losing both.

  Guan Suo has already led 20,000 iron cavalry, all the way day and night, rushing eastward.

   Then turn south again, and finally take a rest in the north of Yanmen County, under the fortress built by the former Han Dynasty.

  When the Han Dynasty was strong, a fortress was built on the northern border of Yanmen County.

  It's just that the Guansai is already in ruins like the Guansai in Juyan County.

  The border actually controlled by the Wei State is now bounded by the Juzhu Mountain Range in the south of Yanmen County (that is, the Hengshan Mountain Range in later generations).

  North of the Hengshan Mountains, there is a basin, which is the Datong Basin in later generations, and this is the core area of ​​Yanmen County.

  Xiegui Nisuo's department is stationed in this basin.

  Since Qin Lang defeated the coalition forces of Ke Bineng and Dubugen, the northern part of the two prefectures has been peaceful for a rare long time.

  Over the years, the Datong Basin has become the exclusive grassland of the Xieguini tribe.

  It is almost August, which is the best time for grassland grazing.

  The yurts are lit, the smoke is curling up, the sheep are bleating, and the horses are neighing.

  The tribe of Xieguini has lived a comfortable life in the past few years.

  Going back to the Great Wall, you can exchange grain and cloth with the Han people, and there are fertile lands outside the Great Wall to graze sheep and horses.

   Even occasionally caravans come to exchange some rare and rare things.

  Xie Guini even felt that such a good life would last forever.

  What he didn't know was that under the fortress of the former Han Dynasty, a pair of extremely deep eyes seemed to stare coldly at this peaceful and peaceful land through the mountains in the north of Yanmen County.
