Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Ma Su led a Han army of 10,000 people, including thousands of Kebineng's tribe, totaling more than 13,000 people. Most of them are cavalry, and there are only a little more than a thousand flying troops.

The Han army left Zhuizi Mountain and marched north to attack Shuofang County, preparing to expel the Qiang and Hu troops here.

However, Ma Su had only been away for a few days. As soon as he entered Shuofang County, he heard that Shanyu of the Xianbei tribe was leading an army to greet him.

The Xianbei clan can also be regarded as a branch of the Qianghu in the north. Like the Wuhuan, they all belong to the Donghu. Because as the north became colder and colder, these barbarians began to move southward, and then invaded the territory of farming civilization.

Xianbei was originally located in Monan, but in the past hundred years, it also moved to the Yanmen area of ​​​​Yunzhong. The southernmost tribe even reached Taiyuan. Bu Dugen, the great chanyu of the Xianbei clan, once controlled a large territory from Shuofang to Yanmen.

Why do you say once? Because in recent years, he has been beaten violently by Ke Bineng from Yanmen. Yanmen Daijun and other places were all snatched away, and the territory shrank by more than half.

So far, Bu Dugen only has the Wuyuan Shuofang counties in Yunzhong, and his strength has been greatly reduced.

This time, the Han troops left Beidi County, basically causing panic among all the Qiang and Hu people in the entire Hetao Plain. After all, the Han people had not left the Great Wall for hundreds of years, and now they suddenly came back to kill them. What on earth were they doing?

Especially when Ma Su defeated the barbarians in the north, he did not stop at all, but led the army to continue northward. This made the Hu people in the north panic, fearing that the Han army would come back to liquidate them.

At this time, Bu Dugen, the master of Shuofang County, reacted quickly after hearing that the Han army was heading north. He ordered his brother-in-law to lead the Yunzhong soldiers eastward to seize Yanmen, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of Kebi to be captured by the Han army to regain the lost territory.

And he himself mobilized all the troops from Wuyuan and Shuofang to resist the Han army.

"General, this time the barbarians from the north have dispatched about 30,000 cavalry, and a large number of reinforcements will follow. It seems that they plan to confront us head-on!"

Tan Ma reported all the situations he investigated to Ma Su and handed them over to Ma Su for processing.

"Thirty thousand people? It seems that this Xianbei Dan is planning to fight with us?" Ma Di raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised when he looked at the map.

"Tsk... I guess this Chan is a little bit disturbed. Doesn't he think we are here to destroy him?"

Regarding the situation in the northern border, Ma Di also knew a lot about it. Normally, if Ma Su captured Ke Bineng and Yanmen had no master, Bu Dugen should have launched an all-out attack to regain the lost ground.

After all, Bu Dugen knew which one was more valuable, Shuofang County or Yanmen County.

However, he only sent partial troops to regain the lost territory, and led the main force to resist the Han army. From this point of view, there is a high probability that Bu Dugen was already surrounded by soldiers. He thought that the Han army was going north to destroy the country, so he sent out all his troops to resist.

In this regard, Ma Su could only laugh.

"Since he came up to us on his own, let's deal with him together. I want to keep all the 30,000 people under his command and those from Shuofang County!"

"Wei!" Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi and other generals all handed over their hands and accepted the order.

"General, give the order, we are willing to defeat this thief for the general!"

"Very good, the military morale is available!" Ma Su nodded, making sure that none of the generals in front of him would stay with him for a while.

Each and every one of them was full of fighting spirit, and if they were left with them, they would die sooner or later and they would be stabbed in the back.

This time, because there were more generals under his command, Ma Su planned to play a big game. It would be best if a team battle ended in a fierce fight, and all the soldiers and horses made great achievements, but he could die in the chaos.

But how to implement this specifically?

Ma Su spread out the map and marked all the locations of the enemy units in Shuofang County. Then Ma Di pondered for a long time about the map and suddenly spoke.

"Jiang Wei! Shu Ji!"

"Here!" The two men immediately stood up, saluted Ma Su and took the order.

"You two each lead three thousand troops. From now on, you will set off from the left and right directions to detour behind the enemy's rear!" Ma Di pointed to the rear of the main Qiang and Hu forces, and then ordered with a calm face,

"In this battle, Bu Dugen is already a frightened bird, and he will definitely lead most of his troops. The tribe behind him will definitely lack men and be lax in defense. The two of you will outflank him and destroy his rear to break the enemy's morale!"

"Yes!" Jiang Wei and Shu Ji were overjoyed and immediately issued the military order.

Since the two of them followed Ma Su, they have never been short of fighting. My own generals are not yet able to monopolize power, and often give opportunities to fight to their subordinates for training.

This makes militants like Jiang Wei extremely happy. There is no shortage of battles and military exploits. We Shu Han are awesome!

Then Ma Su looked at Zhang Ni again, pondered for a while and gave orders to Zhang Ni.

"Zhang Yi led four thousand troops to station in the east, coordinating with the garrison on Table Mountain to prevent the enemy's main force from cutting off our army's retreat and ensure the food route!"

"Wei!" Zhang Yi also accepted the order. He had no problem defending him. He was a jack of all trades and could do anything.

"Very good, then I will personally lead a thousand Wudang flying troops and lead three thousand Qiang and Hu soldiers to station on the bank of the Yellow River to support you." Ma Su nodded and finally made his own deployment.

Ma Di's plan was very simple, which was to use Zhang Yi's main force to guard the area to prevent the retreat from being cut off. Then Jiang Wei was sent out to destroy the enemy's rear, so as to attack from both sides.

Zhang Yi quickly discovered problems with this deployment and raised questions.

"General, your garrison seems to be too far away from us, right? And you only have a flying army, so what will you do with your own troops?"

"Of course, I will give all the power to you, and you will be responsible for the garrison and defense!" Ma Di waved his hand, looked at Zhang Ni seriously and said,

"As for why my location is so far away, I have my own plan for this. Just be responsible for your own tasks. If Bu Dugen dares to come, I will naturally break it myself!"

After speaking, Ma Su turned around and left without giving them a chance to speak.

After Ma Su left, the few people left behind looked at each other, a little confused.

"The general is... planning to play the empty fortress strategy? But will those barbarians believe it?" Shu Ji scratched his head and subconsciously guessed.

Several other people were also very strange and didn't understand what kind of medicine their general was selling in this gourd.

No matter how you look at it, the place where your general is stationed is also an extremely dangerous place. Moreover, the general's headquarters, which he used very conveniently, were handed over to Zhang Yi. Did he want to defeat the enemy with only a few thousand Qiang and Hu soldiers who were trapped?

All in all, this arrangement is very strange!

"What if... the general can really defeat the enemy with thousands of troops?" Jiang Wei also guessed.

At this time, Zhang Yi suddenly remembered something and made a suggestion.

"Wait, let's ask Lao Deng. He is very good at figuring out the general's thoughts. He has analyzed the thoughts of General Zhengbei several times."
