Chapter 582 The goal of the Xianbei Army
?Xianbei''s army of ten thousand people crossed the southern foot of Yin Mountain and rushed south. Cui Jun of Xihe sent a messenger urgently to ask for help.
?In Pingyang City, in the government office lobby, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Jia Qu and Xu Shu presided over the discussion. The two of them were discussing the topography of Xihe County and Pingyang in Feiqian, as well as the possible attack direction of the Xianbei army. They were also discussing the overall arrangement of soldiers, where to establish defense lines, and where. Debate continued over details such as setting up sentries and the like.
In the lobby, the atmosphere seemed to become tense all of a sudden, with dark clouds of war hanging over the sky.
People are always subconsciously afraid of things they don’t understand.
Just like in ancient times, people did not know where natural forces such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning came from, so they developed mysticism. When thunder rumbles and lightning flashes, they will inevitably feel fear.
But later when I knew how it happened, the fear in my heart was greatly reduced...
The same is true for the current Han people towards Xianbei.
Because I have lost several times, I am less energetic now.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also wanted to be praised as a talented and strategic emperor, so when Xianbei was plundering the northern land, he planned a large-scale operation and ordered the Wuhuan Colonel Xia Yu to protect Xianbei Zhonglang Tian Yan and the Xiongnu Zhonglang. General Lang Zang Min each led more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and set out from Gaoliu, Yunzhong and Yanmen counties to attack Xianbei in three directions.
The mighty Han army marched for more than 2,000 miles, but Tan Shihuai, the leader of Xianbei at that time, ordered the leaders of the East, Central and West tribes to lead their troops to fight separately, and defeated the Han army...
After all, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not as stubborn as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he did not have the confidence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After all, the problem of Xiqiang had not been solved, so he did not have much power to deal with the Xianbei matter. Therefore, for the area north of Bingzhou The area gradually moved inward and became deserted.
This time when Xianbei went south, Fei Qian asked Xu Shu to introduce the specific situation, but he suddenly became distracted and thought of another question.
Historically, after the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the national strength was not so bad, but...
Fei Qian searched in his mind, um, the Eight Kings Rebellion?
In fact, China attaches great importance to history. Those who understand history and know how to read history are all good people. When Liu Bang founded the country, there was also the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Sima, a stupid horse, didn''t know what he had learned from the past?
?No wonder that after the emperors of later generations came to power, the first thing they did was to find various crimes and kill the founding ministers...
Fei Qian’s mind was jumping.
?But having said that, Xianbei is actually extremely afraid of the Han people. Just like the Qing soldiers entering the Pass in later generations, many ethnic minorities have the same idea. There are too many Han people. What should we do?
kill!
?For example, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, don’t think that Emperor Xiaowen’s reforms proved that the Xianbei nobles were very good to the Han people. When the Northern Wei army fought, they often put non-Xianbei troops in the front to charge, and the Xianbei cavalry drove from behind.
?For example, in the Qing Dynasty, don’t think that the handsome actors of Four Princes and Five Princes on TV are good to the aborigines. When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, many of them had the idea of ????killing, looting, and burning them all, and then returned to Dongsan Province with their belongings.
…
"Zhonglang?" Xu Shu looked at Fei Qian, who seemed to be distracted, and couldn''t help shouting a little uneasily, "Zhonglang...what are you worried about?" The general is the courage of the army. If the general has no fighting spirit, it is really not a problem. It''s a good thing, why is Fei Zhonglang like this... Fei Qian came back to his senses with an "Oh", looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him, laughed twice, and said: "It''s okay, I thought of it. A fun thing…”
“…” Everyone, including Xu Shu, was silent.
"Okay, let''s talk about the fun things later. Let''s talk about the business first." How could Fei Qian''s shameless face be affected by this look? He immediately said calmly, "...Two questions, one is why Beidi has repeatedly Fallen and unable to hold on? Secondly, why do we send troops to the north and end up defeated? "
Jia Qu suddenly felt something, and sighed in his heart, indeed he was indeed Fei Zhonglang. While everyone was still thinking about how to deal with Xianbei''s march south, Fei Zhonglang was actually thinking about the overall policy and strategy for the Northland. It seemed that his thinking The methods and methods of the problem still need to be improved...
Fei Qian did not put on any airs and said directly: "I will just tell you my opinion. If there are any deficiencies, please add them. The northern land is barren and the real estate is not abundant. It is like chicken ribs. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it. Building a city and garrisoning troops consumes food and salary. This is one of them. It is very cold in the north of the wall. The army is alone and does not know the geography. It has no knowledge of the climate. There is no food and grass, and the soldiers are often defeated. What can Liang Dao do? , Yuan Zhi?”
Jia Qu nodded and said: "The Hu people have many horses, and they come and go like the wind. If you can''t catch them, you will lose the wilderness if you consolidate the city, and lose the battle. This is the first disadvantage; second, the Hu people usually choose the autumn when they go south to plunder the seedlings." , Cut off our food and pay, and it is inevitable that the army will be exhausted and the people will be exhausted." This is Jia Qu''s explanation of the difficulty of holding on to the north.
Xu Shu went on to say: "The imperial court raises troops, and under orders, it often takes several months to assemble, deploy, reorganize the army, and set off. The opportunity to fight has been lost, and the barbarians have retreated. They will go deep into the desert in search of military exploits. In their eagerness, most of them will be successful." Defeated." This is Xu Shu''s addition to the second question.
Fei Qian looked at the other people.
Huang Cheng, Xu Huang and Ma Yan shook their heads and said they had nothing to say. It is understandable that as a general, making decisions on the battlefield is the home of commanding troops, while planning in the tent is the home of counselors. Huang, Xu, and Ma also understood this clearly, so they did not say anything. .
?Du Yuan, Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming didn''t say anything. Du Yuan is mainly responsible for logistics and grain, Zao Zhi mainly specializes in farming and mulberry farming. Taishi Ming has been in charge of craftsmen. Being present is a sign of importance, but for strategic things like this, if there are no special ideas, generally speaking I won’t say anything more.
Fei Qian nodded and continued: "Although the Qiang and Hungarian people are supportive in name, they actually have many tricks up their sleeves. They follow the strong and kill the weak. They only seek snobbery and do not talk about morality. Therefore, this battle must be won, otherwise things will change." Although now, although It seems fair to say that the Baishi Qiang and the Southern Xiongnu are either due to trade or strategic alliance, but that is based on the fact that the army represented by Fei Qian is strong enough. If After these two discovered that Fei Qian couldn''t even defeat a Xianbei army, his entire stance would probably change instantly.
?Everyone is aware of this issue, so they all nod in agreement without any objection.
Fei Qian knocked on the table lightly, and then said: "Xianbei''s army must be here!"
Thinking from the perspective of the Xianbei people, whether it is for money, materials, or even revenge for Fei Qian''s hatred of enslaving Xianbei prisoners, they will definitely fight here, and there may not necessarily be a decisive battle, but plundering and weakening Fei Qian The Xianbei people would definitely do it 1,000% of the time by harvesting crops on the Qian territory and damaging the morale of the Feiqian army.
? Xu Shu and Jia Qu looked at each other and suddenly smiled. Suddenly, they felt that things were much clearer. Now that the Xianbei people''s goals were confirmed, could this group of people still let them come and go as they pleased?
Cao Cao asked: "What''s so good about him? How can I not be as good as him? You always think about him and can''t forget him?"
Guan Yu said calmly: "You are good at everything and better than him in everything. You only have one shortcoming, you are not him."
