Chapter 156 Zhang Huan's Strategy
When Qierisuo led the Qiang warriors and rushed back to the tribe, they saw the herdsmen in Anran, waving their hands and saying hello to them. After staring blankly for a moment, he asked in a rather corrupt manner: "Father, did you deceive General Zhang? You deceived your son?" The leader of the Qiang people sighed helplessly: "I did not."

"Xianbei and the Han Dynasty are about to go to war. We can't stay here anymore. I want to move with the tribe. The general said that on purpose because he was afraid that you would not leave!"

Cheli Tuo's face was flushed, he gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead were even more bulging. He turned around abruptly, and the leader turned pale with fright, and quickly shouted: "What do you want to do? Where are you going?"

"The general treats me well. At this time, I will not abandon the general. I will go to him!"

"What about us? Your tribe, your relatives, your lover, do you want us, the old and the weak, to migrate alone?" The leader shouted loudly, and Qierissa, who was about to leave, suddenly grabbed the reins , hesitated a little, turned around, looked at those relatives who were looking at them quietly, froze for a moment, and said: "Okay, I will migrate with the tribe."

At this time, the Xianbei army had entered many counties and counties in the Northland. Here, they were greatly hindered, because it was close to Chang'an, and it was an extremely important military point of the Han Dynasty. The city walls here were strengthened by successive emperors. It is extremely tall and steep. It is different from Youzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. It is far away from Chang'an and is not valued so much by the court. However, this is the last barrier outside Chang'an.

And Chang'an is also the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty. The Xianbei warriors from the grasslands were stunned by the three or four feet high city wall here, especially Yi Erjin asked in shock: "How can there be such a city wall? The Han people are really cowardly." Ah!! If this old man Huan stays in the city, how are we going to eliminate him? Our tens of thousands of troops, if we don’t have supplies, we won’t last long!”

Li Lizhen on the side sighed and said: "I told you a long time ago, this is not Youbin, this is the center of the Han Dynasty, you still want to attack Chang'an, if the city wall of Chang'an is not two times higher than the city wall here Zhang, I'll feed myself to the wolves!" Then Yi Erjin fell silent, without words, and then said: "We have entered Beidi County for a few days, but we haven't seen Zhang Huan. We'd better be on our guard, I think he's approaching us!"

"Hahaha, come close to us? If I had such a tall city wall, I wouldn't go out!"

"So, you are not Zhang Huan," Li Lizheng said in a low voice, and then sent scouts to investigate, and divided the army into three groups, so as not to cause chaos in the troops under attack. Use several armies to outflank the enemy at any time, so as to completely destroy them, and this kind of division did bring a lot of distress to Zhang Huan, who was following them from afar.

He frowned, thinking, and Sima beside him was even more respectful to him. At this moment, Zhang Huan looked like a god in front of him. This god, who marched for four or five days in a hurry, arrived in the north, but did not say anything. , but by observing horse dung, marching traces, etc., he began to follow behind this enemy. Even, he also obtained the number and a lot of opponents through the quantity and quality of horse dung, as well as stove fires, marching traces, etc. material.

The two generals of Xianbei, in front of this old man, were as powerless as babies. They were completely played by him in the palm of their hands. They followed for four days, but they didn't notice anything. On the contrary, Zhang Huan became more and more interested in his enemy Understand, Zhang Huan got off his horse again at one place, carefully observed the horse dung on the ground, and said with a smile: "It seems that these guys can't stand the continuous rapid march, hahaha, very good, today Tonight, be the enemy!"

Hearing Zhang Huan's words so firmly, Sima didn't have any doubts even though they had less than [-] troops.

He ordered his soldiers to rest and wait for the night.

The soldiers also knew in their hearts that the lord wanted them to make the final preparations, when there was a bad battle, but for Zhang Huan, they simply worshiped blindly, and they couldn't help but have no fear at all. Sitting among the soldiers, he rested and talked with them, and ate together. At dusk, he looked at Sima beside him and said in a low voice: "You can set fire on the grass four miles away, the bigger the better." , let those guys find out!"

Sima was a little dazed, and said, "Aren't we going to attack Xianbei by surprise? Why do we set fire in a place where no one is around?"

Zhang Huan smiled at him and said, "You just do it!"

Sima led the order, while Zhang Huan led many knights and waited here. After a while, under Zhang Huan's order, they got on their horses one after another, waiting for the next big battle. Zhang Huan led them to the grassland. To the west, not long after, the Sima led a few soldiers to arrive, and set fires everywhere again. Under their deliberate arson, fires suddenly burned everywhere, and a sea of ​​flames formed in the grassland.

As for the Xianbei army that was about to rest at night, it was easy to find the abnormality in the distance at night. Li Lizheng stood up a little nervously, while Yi Erjin looked over there and smiled. Said: "There's a big fire over there, it's okay." Yi Erzhen shook his head and said: "At this time, the grassland is full of wet grass, how could there be such a big fire? I think there must be Zhang Huan there. department!"

"What? Zhang Huan? Did he accidentally cause the fire?"

Yi Erjin asked with some surprise.

"Zhang Huan's army is extremely strict. It's definitely not that simple. I think there may be an ambush there. He is waiting for us to attack. Let the soldiers be on guard. We just need to drag him in and don't have to go there! Send scouts to go around Inquire!" Gu Lizheng said calmly.

Zhang Huan led his troops to wait for a long time. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "It seems that Hu Lizheng has put some thought into it. If he marches here in a hurry, our army will wait for work. After working hard for a long time, I will definitely be able to defeat the enemy here in one battle! What a pity, what a pity!"

The Army Sima on the side said helplessly: "It's a pity that we are on fire!"

"Hey, there is nothing they can do about my strategy of exhausting soldiers. Even if they don't come, can they rest well tonight? Hahaha, they must have sent scouts to scout around. You go and lead some elite soldiers and send Their scouts were killed, and their heads were tied to horses, and sent back to them!" Zhang Huan said coldly at the side, and the army commander nodded, leading an elite army who was good at riding and archery, and galloped away And go, while Zhang Huan led everyone to rest here swaggeringly.

The strategy of exhausting soldiers, the strategy of attacking the heart, what a pity, if I have [-] cavalry in my hands, why do I need these small tricks?
