Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 704 Soldiers moving grassland 2
On the grassland more than 300 miles north of Yanmenguan, the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Xianbei Army are still facing each other. Hundreds of thousands of people from both sides gather here. There are no other forces within a radius of more than 10 miles. No one dares to join the two sides at this time. The decisive battle between them, the grassland at this time, can be said to be extremely dangerous.

The Northern Border Army has not attacked much so far. Except for a few small-scale fights to test the strength of the enemy, the Northern Border Army is almost always constructing fortifications in the camp. Gao Shun is responsible for commanding the [-] infantry to defend the camp. , Gongsun Xu entrusted him with all the affairs in the camp.

Nearly 30 northern troops faced off against 40 Xianbei cavalry. This battle, both in terms of scale and momentum, surpassed previous wars. The commanders of both sides had to deal with it carefully. Compared with the life and death of the two nations, no one can lose rise.

The White Robe Army has not sent back any news so far, and Gongsun Xu can only beg that there will be no accidents in the Black Forest. Although he has ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang He to lead the army to the western grassland to perform tasks, it does not mean that he will Take care of things over there.

"Is there no news from the west?" In the big tent, Gongsun Xu was having a meeting with a group of generals and advisers. The more the war broke out, the more Gongsun Xu paid attention to listening to the opinions of his subordinates in a timely manner, so the daily military meeting was a must. indispensable.

"Don't worry, my lord. With Zilong and Junyi here, nothing will happen to the mistress." Guo Jia cupped his hands and replied, "It's just that the enemy army must have known about what happened in the west, and most likely sent troops to look for trouble. Our army is now It is also impossible to divide the troops. If there is no news from the west in a short period of time, it is the best news.

The current situation is urgent, and the most important task of our army is to defeat the main force of the Xianbei army.The lord's arrangement on the west side may not be effective for the time being. If we want to break the deadlock, we may have to see when the east side will make progress. "

"The progress in the east will definitely not be slow." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Xu Rong, Yan Liang, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu, none of them are veterans who have been fighting for a long time, but there are [-] Xianbei troops in the east, which are temporarily delayed." It's just their pace. I believe that the first breakthrough must be the east.

These days, Ke Bineng seems to be aware that our army wants to continue to confront him, so he stepped up the attack, and there are more and more enemy scouts around our camp. There will be an attack.

Today, there are only 10,000+ elite cavalry in our army camp, which is definitely far worse than the enemy's 40 cavalry. Therefore, in the early stage of the battle, our army still focuses on defense. There is a chance to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and end the grassland war.

Zhengfang, you are solely responsible for the defense of the camp. You must have noticed the abnormality of the enemy army these days. The [-] infantry is responsible for defending the camp. Do you have anything to add.

"Our army has marched for more than three hundred miles to come here for a decisive battle with the enemy." Gao Shun replied: "So far, our army has mostly defended and less offensive. Although our army's cavalry is highly elite We are weaker than the enemy, but our inferior strength means that we can only control dozens of miles of grassland around the camp.

So far, the initiative of the war seems to be in the hands of Ke Bineng, but in fact, all of this is deliberately done by the lord.The Xianbei army seems to be eager to fight now, which is why more and more harassing troops appear around our camp.

Among the infantry of our army, there are more than [-] veterans. Although the rest of the recruits are not as good as the veterans in terms of combat effectiveness, most of them are soldiers who have been on the battlefield, so the task of defending the camp is not for them. It's too difficult, and there are tens of thousands of civilians in our army. These days, some civilians have been selected for training.In other words, even if the stalemate continues, our military camp will definitely not have any problems.

However, my lord, Ke Bineng seems to be much more difficult to deal with than we imagined. I have never seen him so calm when facing him in the past. Up to now, he has refused to attack on a large scale. It seems that Ke Bineng has high-level opponents around him People give pointers. "

"I think so too." Guo Jia nodded and analyzed: "Since the Xianbei army invaded our northern border a few months ago, everything seems to be going according to plan. The Xianbei army and the Xiongnu army cooperated so well. It dragged down the strength of our army in the Hetao area and the defense line of the Great Wall, making our army passive.

Then the Xianbei army crossed the Great Wall to attack Yanmen, and everything seemed to be planned. If there was no ambition to guard Yanmen, I was really worried how long Yanmen Pass would last.

Zhicai's death was definitely caused by a conspiracy. Even if it wasn't by Ke Bineng, it must have something to do with him.Grassland hero, we all know that Ke Bi Neng doesn't seem to be so powerful. My lord, maybe the person who has been playing games with us is not Ke Bi Neng. "

"No matter who it is, he has to pay the price for Zhicai's death and the loss of our army and people in northern Xinjiang." Gongsun Xu snorted coldly: "I also know that Kebi can't do this, let alone lead the army. Going south to invade our northern border, Ke Bineng would definitely not be able to do it just by gathering troops from various tribes of Xianbei to form an army of hundreds of thousands.

This must be someone who lobbied the leaders of the various tribes of Xianbei, and then there was a scene where the tribes of Xianbei sent troops together.When Wen Chou led a large army to patrol the east, they were besieged by hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops. This must have been done by the mysterious people behind the scenes.

Since you all think that there is something wrong with Ke Bi Neng, then you all think about it now, who is helping the Xianbei army to fight against our army? Looking around the world, how many people have this ability. "

Everyone in the tent fell silent for a short time. They also thought about Gongsun Xu's question for a long time, especially Guo Jia and Li Ru. They wondered why Xianbei and the Huns joined forces to start this war. Up to now, this is very strange. The entire Xiongnu has been defeated. Why do the Xianbei army continue to persist? Could it be that they also have reinforcements?Or is the Xianbei army also putting all their eggs in one basket?
"My lord, I have something to report." Gongsun Yuan stood up and said, "Some time ago, I was sent as an envoy to the Xianbei army to discuss the decisive battle between the two armies. At that time, I found some problems, and I also reported it to the lord later, but, Thinking about it now, General Mo finds a few things very strange."

"I remember you said that." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Ke Bineng called all the tribes of Xianbei to send troops, and he became the leader smoothly, but at that time you saw a few strange people in Ke Bineng's camp.

There are many battles among the various tribes of Xianbei, and it is basically impossible to gather together, especially among the few big tribes that have always been dissatisfied with each other.

But Helian's tribe surrendered to Ke Bineng. At that time, the reply you got was that Helian died, and his nephew took the throne, and the new leader obeyed Ke Bineng, right? "

"Yes." Gongsun Yuan replied: "I didn't pay much attention to Kui Tou at the time, but thinking about it now, I think Kui Tou seemed to give some hints at that time.

Because the person who can enter Ke Bineng's tent is either the leader of the tribe or the general in the army, but there is a man in black who can come and go freely in Ke Bineng's tent. They were all sitting behind the man in black, as if the man in black was the chief general. "

"This man in black has been covering his face, isn't he?" Gongsun Xu asked: "You thought it was strange at the time, so you immediately reported it to me when you came back. Hehe, thinking about it now, I also find it strange. This man in black is quite It's not easy."

"The last general saw a trace of helplessness in the eyes of the leader, especially when he said that He Lian was dead, there was a trace of pain in his eyes." Gongsun Yuan continued: "And when I reported my name At that time, Ke Bineng and the man in black had nothing unusual, except for a flash of excitement in the eyes of the leader."

"So, the leader should know about that." Gongsun Xu said after thinking for a while, "You were the one who secretly contacted Helian, and then Helian made an agreement with our army to withdraw troops and make a deal with our army.

There must not be many people who know about this matter, and Helian will not be so stupid as to tell other tribal leaders that the leader is Helian's nephew, it seems that he knows this secret, so the leader knows your true identity.

I think Helian's death is not that simple. The identity of the man in black is mysterious. We need to find out who he is.If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first have a good understanding of the enemy. Within three days, I will get enough information about the man in black and the leader. In addition, I will send someone to tentatively contact the leader. I would like to see if the Helian tribe really wants to risk their extinction to fight against my army. "

While Gongsun Xu was discussing how to deal with the enemy army in the tent, Ke Bineng's big tent was now discussing how to break through the defense of the northern border army.

I thought that the Northern Border Army was determined to come here to fight against me, but I didn't know that the first thing the Northern Border Army did after it arrived was to build the fortifications and stick to the camp. From this matter, Ke Bineng can see Gongsun Xu never thought of winning or losing with him in a short period of time, and as for the decisive battle, it was even more impossible to talk about it.

"Gongsun Xu is a good planner. He made an agreement with our army to come here to form an array. It seems that he wants to end the battle as soon as possible. In fact, he really wants to choose a place far away from the northern border." Ke Bi Neng looked at the crowd and said : "In this way, our army can neither plunder the food and grass of the Han people, nor attack Gongsunxu's rear. This Gongsunxu, this time really gave our army a hard time."

"This, hehe, not necessarily so." The man in black shook his head and smiled, "This is the brilliance of Gongsun Xu. Who would have thought that he could solve the problem of food and grass. The army is far away from the mainland, and the supply of food, grass and military equipment is insufficient. It is quite dangerous. Who would have thought that Gongsun Xu would mobilize hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses and [-] civilians to prepare enough food and supplies for the army for three months at one time.

Now our army can't avoid the Northern Xinjiang Army in front of us and go to the Great Wall to find the trouble of the Northern Xinjiang Army.Presumably, Gongsun Xu tricked us here to give the soldiers and civilians around the Great Wall and Yanmen Pass time to repair the walls and strengthen their defenses. Now that we have been delayed for so long, even if we go back, we will not gain much.

The most important thing right now is to defeat the main force of the northern border army, and the rest will be discussed later. "
