Chapter 133 Target—Lingwu Valley!
Xu You came up with another plan, which made He Lian decide to let him go. We will talk about it later.
Due to the battle last night, the armies of both sides were exhausted, and they reached a tacit agreement to a truce for two days.
The camp outside the city must no longer be stationed, so the [-]-strong army could only temporarily enter the city.
Later, Liu Han learned that Huangfu Song alone led his men to ambush the Xianbei army.
Although they achieved good results, both Huangfu Song and Liu Han broke out in a cold sweat afterwards because there was no communication between the two sides about this matter. This ambush army was actually a lone army with not many people.
If Helian was ruthless and killed the ambushing Han army in one go, and the Han army had no follow-up support, Huangfu Song would have to give an account.
Fortunately, He Lian is stupid enough.
In the next few days, Xianbei gave Liu Han a headache. Helian changed his fighting style and divided the army into multiple groups of cavalry, ranging from five thousand to two or three thousand. They roamed throughout Liangzhou, harassing localities and counties. Military reports from the county asking for help flew towards Liu Han like snowflakes.
"Damn!"
Liu Han was very irritated. The riding skills of the Han people were definitely not as good as those of the Xianbei people. When the army came to the rescue, the Xianbei people turned around and ran away without fighting the army at all. He originally wanted to fight Helian in a decisive battle in Fuping, but now the opponent is just consuming himself. , the days dragged on, and it was the soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou who suffered the loss.
Not only that, if the Xianbei army cannot be crushed with the power of thunder, the Qiang people who are ready to move will stab them in the back. At that time, the Qiang people will follow suit, and Liangzhou may really be lost.
"Wen He, do you think there is any way to bring He Lian's people together?"
Jia Xu also knew the seriousness of the situation, and prolonging it would not be beneficial to his own side, but he could not think of any good method for a while. He could only say tentatively: "Why don't we also divide our troops? Now the Xianbei people in Liangzhou passed by last time In the first battle, the military strength was almost the same as ours. When the Xianbei people divided their forces to attack, our army divided our forces to rescue them."
"But if our army divides its troops, how should we divide them? If there are few roads to divide, there will be places that cannot be rescued. If there are many roads to divide, it is very likely that the Xianbei people will defeat them one by one, and they will be surrounded and eaten halfway to rescue. , it will be even more disadvantageous then.”
What Liu Han said was also what Jia Xu was worried about.
"Is there any way to bring Helian people together?"
Liu Han looked at the map and thought about the problem.
Just like fishing, you need a bait, preferably one that you know there is a trap but still can't help but want to bite.
Suddenly, Liu Han had an idea, "I have an idea!"
But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Jia Xu, "My lord, you can't! It's easy for others to say it, but you absolutely can't do it, my lord!"
Obviously, Liu Han's idea had already occurred to Jia Xu.
"Why not? Although it is a bit dangerous, war is like this. How can it be safe?"
At this moment, Duan Qiao also reacted, "Wen He is right, others can do it, but the lord cannot do it."
"But this is the fastest way to end the war as soon as possible. If it ends one day earlier, the people of Liangzhou will have a better life earlier."
Liu Han made sense. Using his body as bait could definitely lure all the Xianbei people in Liangzhou over, but everyone did not agree with this impulse to risk his life.
"Perhaps this is what those people saw first!"
Duan Yan argued that if Liu Han used his body as a bait, if something unexpected happened, wouldn't this be what the powerful Han nobles wanted to see?No one was wrong. The emperor suddenly had one hundred thousand more elites in his hands. Although it consolidated the imperial power, it also weakened the influence of the nobles and relatives in the court.
Therefore, using Xianbei's sword to kill Liu Han is the best way. Even the emperor can't say anything. In addition, if Liu Han dies, the powerful nobles can take over everything he has in Bingzhou, including the army!
"Just be fully prepared, find a good place, and wait for them to come."
Jia Xu asked: "Does my lord have a plan?" "Guide."
"Abandoned city?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Duan Jong firmly disagreed. After Wang Mang's rebellion, the Qiang and Hu rebellions in the north became more and more intense. At first, the Beidi County fell under the influence of the Longyou warlord Kui Xiao.
In the 26th year of Emperor Guangwu's reign (AD 50), "the citizens of Beidi and other border counties returned to their homeland", and "the city walls and ruins were swept away even more" (Volume [-] of "Tongjian").
In the fifth year of Yongchu reign of Emperor An (111 years), Beidi County moved to Chiyang (now the north of Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province); in the fourth year of Yongjian reign (129 years) of Emperor Shun Emperor, he returned to the old land; in the sixth year of Yonghe reign (141 years), he again Moved to Feng Yi County.
From then until Fu Xuan's death, for more than 100 years, Beidi County never regained its old lost territory. It always resided in the west of the original Fengyi County, sandwiched between Fengyi and Fufeng counties.
Beidi County moved inland three times. Even if it was still in its old territory, the city walls had been destroyed by wars and ruins had become more numerous. This was especially true for Guide City, which had long been in ruins and had no danger to defend.
"Guide City is already an abandoned city. If we want to defend against the Xianbei people's attack, Guide City is by no means the best choice."
"What can the division master do?"
Duan Jiong: "My idea is that in addition to the Lord allowing Helian's army to assemble, there is another way to allow Helian's army to assemble. We can just wait and see."
Jia Xu's eyes lit up: "General General Duan is referring to General Huang Zhong?"
Duan Jun: "Exactly, Huang Hansheng now has the most elite troops of the Bingzhou Army in his hands. I think we will receive the news of the burning of Danhan Mountain in two or three days. The most important thing for us now is to control this place——!"
"Spiritual Martial Valley?"
"Yes! If He Lian receives the news and does not go back, then the Royal Court of Danhan Mountain will be gone again. If he goes back, among the many Great Walls in Liangzhou, only Lingwu Valley does not have a Great Wall due to its special terrain. If you want to go back for rescue, this place must be passed through. road."
"That's right, Helian's five thousand troops have always been stationed in Lingwu Valley. They have never left. They are afraid that we will cut off their retreat. If the army goes straight to Lingwu Valley, I don't believe that Helian will not return to support the army."
Older gingers are more spicy! Or how to say that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.
Experience is really important sometimes.
Although Liu Han's strategy was good, the risk was too high. Duan Jiong saw the situation clearly and directly grasped the opponent's vital points without fear of not returning.
"In this case, I sent an order to the entire army to march to Lingwu Valley with great fanfare. I want to tell Helian that I will cut off his retreat!"
"Well, Ruzi can be taught."
Duan Juan nodded happily and praised Liu Han, "A commander should be most afraid of impatience. He should be able to find the enemy's key points in complex situations, and then hit them with one blow, firmly holding the initiative of the war in his own hands. inside."
Liu Han listened to Duan Jue's earnest teachings and saluted, "Student, I would like to be taught!"
"In that case, why not be more ruthless." Jia Xu showed a cold smile, "It is better to build another army from Youzhou. Daijun is only three hundred miles away from Tanhan Mountain. After General Huang Zhong left Bingzhou, once the attack was successful, Xianbei The people must have fled in all directions. There was a general in the Youzhou Governor's Department named Gongsun Zan, who was a student of the great scholar Lu Zhi. He had two thousand cavalry under his command, named "White Horse Yi Cong", plus seven thousand infantry, and ordered him to set off from Dai County. We will also attack Danhan Mountain and wait at the important road at the foot of the mountain, and then strike at the Xianbei people."
"good idea!"
Liu Han was overjoyed. If the plan succeeded, it would be possible that even the Xianbei people's arteries would be pierced with this knife.
Duan Yan's eyes flashed. It seemed that this "eldest grandson" had found his close friend, Mingzhu. He made vicious schemes one after another. Originally, he thought of a strategy to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but he turned it into a plan to kill the whole family. "Tanhanshan, I may not be able to treat others anymore.”
