Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou
Chapter 685: The Xianbei were destroyed, but Liaodong was not settled yet. How could we claim that t
Unfortunately, it's too late.
In the Han army camp, the Han people felt refreshed after venting their anger.
They dragged their slightly tired but satisfied bodies and slowly returned to the camp.
Inside the camp, a sumptuous feast of wine and meat had already been prepared. The aroma that filled the air made the Han army soldiers eager to sit together and continue to enjoy this hard-earned joy.
They drank heavily, ate huge chunks of meat, and their laughter echoed throughout the camp.
On the other side, Tufa Pi Gu, who was ruthlessly abandoned by the Han army in the cold night, fell into endless despair.
He lay alone on the cold ground, the chill wind cutting through his body like a knife, every inch of his skin painfully frozen.
As time went by, his body became stiffer and stiffer, and his body temperature gradually dissipated.
Until finally, he was frozen to death in the cold night, ending his tragic life.
At this time, Xiao Fangzheng and all the soldiers drank happily and celebrated this great achievement together.
In their eyes, the Xianbei tribe had been destroyed, and there was no longer any threat from the barbarians north of the Great Wall.
……
As night fell quietly, the celebration banquet began in a lively atmosphere.
The Han generals sat around the campfire with sizzling beef and mutton in front of them. They ate with relish and sang and danced.
Inside the tent, the air was filled with the smell of wine and laughter was heard one after another, as if to light up this cold night.
Xiao Fang sat upright in the main seat and drank with the generals.
At this time, Zhang He stood up, raised his glass high, and congratulated in unison:
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister for leading us to conquer Saibei. The Prime Minister's achievements will surely be remembered forever!"
Xiao Fang smiled and responded calmly:
"We have only wiped out one Xianbei. The Hu people in the northern part of the Great Wall are like weeds. They will soon grow again. It is not the time to rest easy."
After hearing this, Zhang He's eyes were filled with admiration, and he bowed and said:
"Prime Minister Jinglue said that although the Xianbei have been destroyed, there is still Liaodong and the Western Regions that have not been pacified. I wonder which group of rebels the Prime Minister plans to destroy first?"
A hint of domineering light flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"The remnants of Cao Yu are now hiding in Liaodong, colluding with Gongsun Kang.
Gongsun Kang also proclaimed himself the King of Yan and refused to go to Luoyang to meet the emperor. He was truly a traitor.
I will first destroy Gongsun Kang and kill the traitor Cao Yu!"
Zhang He nodded, thought for a moment and said:
“But if we want to take Liaodong, we must first destroy its gateway, Yangle City.
Should we ask the emperor for permission to send an army to capture Yangle City directly?
If my Heavenly Master marches to Liaodong, Gongsun Kang will surrender."
Xiao Fang waved his hand domineeringly and ordered:
"Yangle is far from the border states, and by the time the emperor's army arrives, Gongsun Kang will have already made preparations.
Pass the order down, tomorrow all our Han cavalry will send out a surprise attack on Yangle City!
We're going to catch him by surprise!"
After hearing this, Zhang He was shocked at first, and then he suddenly realized.
To attack Liaodong from Youzhou, one must cross a 300-mile muddy coastal road, which is difficult to march and easily exposes one's whereabouts.
If we attack from here, there are vast grasslands along the way, and the cavalry can reach the city of Yangle in a few days.
This is undoubtedly an excellent way to launch a surprise attack.
"That's right, let's go straight to Yangle City and we will succeed in one fell swoop!"
Zhang He said excitedly, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.
Xiao Fang smiled heartily, raised his glass and said:
"Let's have a good time tonight. When the sun comes up, we'll go straight to Liaodong!"
That night, the Han knights feasted on meat and wine.
While enjoying the delicious food, they looked forward to the expedition to Liaodong.
The next morning, the sun shone on the grassland.
Xiao Fang, wearing armor, led the cavalry like a black torrent, heading eastward towards Yangle City.
The sound of horse hooves roared like thunder, raising a cloud of dust that seemed to swallow up the entire world.
...
In Yangle City, the scene seems peaceful.
The four gates were wide open, and vendors took advantage of the last moment before the city gates were closed to rush in and out, working hard to make a living.
"Prince, the sun is about to set, please close the city gates!"
The counsellor Yang Yi came hurriedly before Gongsun Huang, bowed and spoke.
When the Han Dynasty was busy attacking the Qin Dynasty and had no time to look east, Gongsun Kang proclaimed himself King of Liaodong.
As the eldest son of Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Huang was appointed as the heir apparent and was tasked with guarding Yangle. In order to prevent the attack of the Han State, Gongsun Kang specially arranged for Gongsun Huang to guard the place.
"It's still early, there's no need to rush."
Gongsun Huang waved his hand disapprovingly and did not take Yang Yi's reminder to heart.
Yang Yi frowned slightly and said worriedly:
"Sir, the Han army may attack at any time, so we must be careful."
"What do you mean?"
Gongsun Huang's face darkened instantly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Yang Yi coughed a few times, cupped his hands and explained:
"I want to remind you, Your Highness, that Xiao Fang is a man of many tricks and schemes. We must be on guard against him."
"We have to be on guard against him cheating!"
"so what?"
Gongsun Huang curled his lips in disdain and sneered:
"But no matter how cunning he is, can he suddenly attack Yangle City?"
"We have already deployed spies on the coastal road, and we will be alerted if there is any movement."
Yang Yi was speechless for a moment. Although Gongsun Huang's attitude was arrogant, what he said was not entirely unreasonable.
If Xiao Fang wanted to launch a surprise attack on Yangle City, he had to take the coastal road.
However, the road was muddy and narrow, making it difficult for the army to conceal their tracks.
Gongsun Huang set up numerous spies along the coastal road so that if there was any unusual movement, they could promptly ask Gongsun Kang for help and mobilize the main force to reinforce the defense.
In this way, Yangle City seems to be truly foolproof.
Although Yang Yi was still feeling uneasy, seeing how confident Gongsun Huang was, he stopped talking and just silently suppressed his worries.
"Come on, go back and have a drink with me."
Gongsun Huang said disapprovingly, turned around and went down the city wall.
Yang Yi sighed helplessly, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and accompanied Gongsun Huang down the city wall.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came into Yang Yi's ears.
He was startled and quickly turned to look outside the city.
I saw a dust storm approaching rapidly in the western sky.
"Why is there a dust storm at this time?"
Yang Yi looked carefully and saw the dust storm rolling in, covering the sky and the sun.
In the wild dust, the shadows of people and horses can be vaguely seen.
"Cavalry! They are the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty!"
Yang Yi turned pale with fear and shouted:
"Prince, they are cavalrymen from the Han Dynasty!"
Gongsun Huang was startled and looked back hurriedly.
The next second, his expression froze.
In his field of vision, countless cavalry were galloping towards him in a mighty manner, and a Han flag fluttering in the wind caught his eyes.
“This, this, this?”
Gongsun Huang's face changed drastically, and he shouted in a trembling voice:
"Why would Xiao Fang come from that direction? That's grassland~~"
He was stunned, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
Yang Yi suddenly woke up at this moment and said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, I guess that Ke Bineng and his men may have been killed by Xiao Fang!"
Gongsun Huang's figure swayed, with a look of astonishment on his face:
"How could the Xianbei be destroyed so quickly when they were so powerful?"
He was totally confused.
Yang Yi sighed and said helplessly:
"I can't figure it out either. I can't figure it out either."
Gongsun Huang was stunned and speechless for a moment.
"Prince, close the city gates quickly and ask the king for help!"
Yang Yi advised in a deep voice, his tone anxious.
Gongsun Huang finally came to his senses and shouted:
"Quick, close all the city gates, and send a messenger to Xiangping to call for help~~" (End of this chapter)
