Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

At this moment, Tadun could no longer keep calm and think about why the Han army always took one step ahead of him. Instead, he was panicking.

The Wuhuan settlement in the direction of Bailang Mountain is where Qiu Liju's base camp is located.

Not only Tadun's mother, but also Tadun's wife and children still live in it.

Tadun panicked completely when he thought that his family might be built into a Jingguan.

Even, with the current conflict between Dahan and Wuhuan, many worse and more terrifying results are likely to occur.

If all the mothers, wives and daughters of Qiu Liju and Tadun were plundered and returned to the Han Dynasty by the Han army, just like Wuhuan treated the Han slaves, how could Qiu Liju and Tadun have the dignity to become the masters of Wuhuan?
Immediately, Tadun quickly summoned all the Wuhuan cavalry who were setting up an ambush, and then rushed towards Bailang Mountain at full speed like crazy.

However, there are differences among the Wuhuan cavalry.

As Tadun gave the order to go at full speed, there was naturally a disconnect within this 80,000-strong Wuhuan cavalry.

However, at this moment, Tadun could no longer care about so much, and even personally led the most elite thirty thousand Wuhuan to rush ahead, quickly rushing in a straight line in the direction of Bailang Mountain.

No matter what, Tadun knew that he had to keep the Wuhuan settlement where Qiu Liju relied as his base camp, otherwise the Wuhuan settlement would be lost.

Leaving aside personal feelings, Tadun will become a laughing stock within the Wuhuan clan and will be labeled as incompetent.

He led an army of 80,000 to pursue the Han army, chasing after him... and chased his home away!
Such a result was difficult for Tadun himself to accept, not to mention many Wuhuan people.

Even if Tadun looked back at every decision he made during the pursuit of the Han army, Tadun felt that there were no major mistakes. He even believed that no one from the Wuhuan tribe could replace Tadun. Tadun did better.

However, the result was that Tadun seemed to be led by the nose all the way, and all his actions were as if they were watched by the Han army.

At this moment, Tadun couldn't help but think of the record of the Xiongnu who were at their peak three hundred years ago and were ravaged by the Han named "Huo Qubing".

A lone army was undefeated across the northern part of the desert, and the wolf was sealed in Xu, so that the Huns fled far away and there was no royal court in the southern part of the desert.

It was after that battle that the Wuhuan people were afraid of the might of the Han Dynasty, and initially "voluntarily" began to move into Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other counties to detect the movements of the Huns for the Han Dynasty.

The memory that was supposed to be dead in the blood suddenly began to attack Tadun...

Tadu paused in his heart, unconsciously asking questions full of fear.

'Big man, don't you deserve to die? Are you not dead yet? '

However, when Tadun desperately rushed in the direction of Bailang Mountain to rush for reinforcements, what he didn't know was that the Han cavalry did not go all the way eastward to sweep the rear of the many Wuhuan settlements in Liaoxi County.

Not only because of the risk, the Wuhuan cavalry led by Tadun might completely block the way, but more importantly, in Li Ji's eyes, the Wuhuan were far from qualified to compete with the Xiongnu.

At the peak of the Xiongnu period, there were hundreds of thousands of string-controllers, overwhelming the Central Plains dynasty to the point where they could barely lift their heads...

In order to resist the Xiongnu, the Great Wall was built one after another during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and even during the Qin and Han dynasties. Finally, after the two emperors Wu and Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were initially divided and declined.

What kind of thing is Wuhuan?
How can they be qualified to compete with the Huns?
The Langjuxu Mountain (now in Mongolia) where Huo Qubing achieved his lifelong achievements is thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty. Where is the Bailang Mountain? Within the territory of Liaoxi County, Youzhou.

Therefore, Tadun unconsciously compared Wuhuan to the fate of the Xiongnu. However, in Li Ji's eyes, even if he continued to raid the Wuhuan settlement in Liaoxi County, it was just a big man giving a lesson to a disobedient watchdog. .

History books will not focus on recording his achievements, let alone boast them as comparable to Huo Qubing.

However, once this is done and the Han cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun penetrate deep into the enemy's rear, there is a high risk that the entire army will be destroyed.

In a word, in Li Ji's eyes, Tadun's home was not as valuable as these Han cavalry.

Therefore, the Han cavalry heading towards Bailang Mountain was a deliberate illusion from the beginning...

After wading through Xuanshui and spanning hundreds of miles, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, who were reunited, led the army to change direction and did not continue towards Bailang Mountain, which was only three to five days away.

Instead, go all the way south and look at the Great Wall...

Along the dangerous place of Shanhaiguan built by later generations in Li Ji's memory, it reaches to the edge of the coast.

From the seemingly endless grassland outside the Great Wall, to suddenly appearing at the seaside, Gongsun Zan and many of the cavalrymen felt inexplicably like they were in another world.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun led the cavalry and stationed themselves at the edge of the coast outside the Great Wall and waited.

This wait is three days.

Gongsun Zan, who had always maintained his composure, gradually became worried as time went by.

Scanning in the direction of Bailang Mountain in disguise can confuse Tadun for a while, but it is impossible to confuse Tadun for the rest of his life.

Once Tadun reacts, this group of Han cavalry will be completely in danger.

The Han cavalry swept all the way from Yuyang County to Liaoxi County, relying on the Wuhuan settlements along the way to replenish their army supplies, but this also meant that the Han cavalry had no way to turn back.

Continuing eastward through Liaoxi County, the distance from Guangyang County will become farther and farther, and it will almost reach Goguryeo. Therefore, there are very few directions that the Han cavalry can choose at the moment...

According to Li Ji's early plan, he asked Gongsun Zan to lead the army and wait here.

However, Gongsun Zan had been looking at the sea for five or six hours every day for several days, but he still could not see any ships coming to greet him.

'Something went wrong? '

This thought came to Gongsun Zan's mind, and his heart became heavy unconsciously.

When the two sides cannot communicate in advance in any way, it is normal for the two armies to have deviations in their coordination.

Even Gongsun Zan himself was not sure when he would lead his army to arrive here, let alone the ships coming to meet him.

It is true that this place is sparsely populated, but with Wujun’s ships being such an obvious target, if they were exposed to the Wuhuan people in advance and reported to Tadun, Tadun would probably guess in advance how the Han cavalry would evacuate Liaoxi County.

In this way, it is likely that the Han army will be caught in the urn.

And just when Gongsun Zan unconsciously began to think wildly, and even considered how it would be possible to forcefully rush through the Great Wall and enter the fortress area of ​​Liaoxi County all the way west to bring the army back to Guangyang County.

On the sea in the distance, more than ten inconspicuous black spots appeared.

This made Gongsun Zan immediately overjoyed...

On the flagship of the fleet composed of more than ten ships, Sun Ce stood on the bow, facing the sea breeze, with a wanton smile on his face and said loudly.

"Speed ​​up and welcome my son of the Han family home!"

……

At the same time, in Jicheng.

What Li Ji was thinking about at this moment was undoubtedly whether Sun Ce had successfully connected with Gongsun Zan.

That 20,000-strong Han army fought thousands of miles all the way. It would be a pity in Li Ji's opinion if they were lost in Liaoxi County.

But as for when Gongsun Zan would arrive at the southern coast of Liaoxi County, even Li Ji could not accurately calculate the specific date after more than two months.

However, Li Ji was confident that the time deviation deduced was less than the time it took for Tadun to realize the true whereabouts of the Han cavalry, which was enough.

Therefore, Li Ji was not worried that Sun Ce would not be able to pick up Gongsun Zan. Instead, he was a little worried that Sun Ce, the boy who sailed to pick up Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan, might get mad and fail to bring them back.

Previously, due to lack of troops, Jia Xu, who was cautious in nature, took almost all the naval forces to Yingzhou.

However, most of the seagoing ships were left in the temporary port in Youzhou, so that once the situation in Youzhou reached an irreversible point, Li Ji would still have enough seagoing ships to transfer food and soldiers.

But the problem is that there are not enough soldiers who can control sea ships. Therefore, during this period of time, Li Ji did not bring Sun Ce to Jicheng. Instead, he asked Sun Ce to stay at the port and train a group of soldiers who could control sea ships as soon as possible. .

Fortunately, although Sun Ce was young, he had already lived in the shipbuilding workshop before it was established, and his familiarity with seagoing ships was no less than Gan Ning's.

Therefore, Sun Ce reluctantly trained a group of soldiers who could control sea ships. They might not be able to fight on the water, but at least they could sail on the sea according to Sun Ce's instructions.

'Besides, I wonder what's going on with Wen He? It has been nearly three months and there is no reply. '

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but feel worried, and he was even more urgent to quickly solve the Diwuhuan problem.

Li Ji had an inexplicable hunch that if he went to Yingzhou later, there would probably be no role for him in Yingzhou.

Jia Xu, who has completely let go of his restraints, may have turned Yingzhou into a Wenhe shape. By then, Li Ji will be somewhat useless if he goes in again.

However, it is easy to protect Youzhou, but after all, it still lacks a little east wind to defeat Wuhuan.

Now, the cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun redirected the 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry back to the direction of Liaoxi County.

Even if Tadun fully reacted, it would still take at least a month for the cavalry to return to Jicheng and join Qiu Liju.

It was already September, and there was not much time before snowfall in Youzhou. There was not enough time for Wuhuan to go south and plunder.

In other words, when things have developed to this point, Li Ji has actually protected the people of Youzhou from being plundered by Wuhuan.

However, the Wuhuan settlements in Yuyang County and Youbeiping County were far from enough to calm Li Ji's anger, nor were they enough to repay the numerous crimes committed by the Wuhuan clan against the Han people.

Perhaps from the position of the Han Dynasty, it is not appropriate to exterminate all the Wuhuan clan.

But Li Ji wanted to devour Qiu Liju and more than 70,000 Wuhuan cavalry at the foot of Jicheng. (End of chapter)
