Three Kingdoms

In the Youbei desert area, there are sparsely populated areas separated from each other by hundreds of miles, sometimes even hundreds or thousands. Therefore, in order to convey the message without letting the Xianbei people discover it, Sima Yi adopted a method similar to Based on the model of beacon tower, light and fire are used to transmit messages in a specific time period.

Of course, this model also has very big limitations, such as heavy fog or rainy days, but it is indeed much more convenient than running back and forth manually, at least in terms of timeliness.

The rainy season on the grassland has to wait until March. The weather is still relatively sunny now, and because of the small glacier, the cold may continue and the rainy season will be delayed.

Because of the poor communication channels, even if the Xianbei people or Cao Jun discovered that Fei Qian's scouts were wearing something similar to a ghillie suit, the other side's scouts would often think that these guys were weird or cunning, but they Most of them would not want to report it, and they would rarely even imitate it.

After all, in ancient times, it was not just the Han people who refused to change their names or surnames. Sometimes the Hu people also had their own insistence and felt that it was a bit weird to stick a grass on themselves or tie a branch to their body. As a result, the scouts under Qiusi's command did have a greater advantage in covering their whereabouts.

When the news about Cao Jun and the Xianbei people reached Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, Sima Yi smiled, clapped his hands and said, "It's done!" 』

Although Zhao Yun's face was still calm, there was a faint flash of brilliance in his eyes.

It is indeed difficult to achieve this step.

The armies of the Han Dynasty, whether they are Cao Jun or Hussar, are better at positional warfare. They pay attention to the integrity of the formation and exert the effect of one plus one greater than two in the form of a team. However, the Xianbei people in the desert are accustomed to mobile warfare. Or it can be said to be similar to a melee, where we often chase each other, only to find that the person who originally escaped suddenly appears on the flank...

Therefore, if the Xianbei people and Cao Jun are in the same place, it will be relatively troublesome, because they have to guard against Cao Jun's array attack and the Xianbei people's false retreat and real detour. Even if Zhao Yun is capable and has strong martial arts, but The losses that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible, so keeping the Xianbei people and Cao Jun apart is undoubtedly the best way.

At the same time, geographical distance will also bring about psychological gaps. Even in later generations, there is still a psychological gap between city people and country people, not to mention the Cao army and the Xianbei people who were not so harmonious in the first place?

"Next..." Sima Yi turned to look at Zhao Yun, "It's up to General Zhao..."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "In this case, we will follow Zhongda's policy... However, Zhongda still has to be careful here..."

Sima Yi bowed and cupped his hands, "I understand." 』

This is a big stage. Sima Yi is planning to rely solely on the strength of Zhao Yun’s headquarters to solve the problem in Youbei. After Zhao Yun got all of Sima Yi’s plans, he thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to Sima Yi’s strategy and reported it to the Hussar General’s Palace. , and then got approval...

Although in a certain aspect, Liu He and the Wuhuan people can be regarded as Zhao Yun's allies, in fact no one can guarantee that the loyalty of these allies will never fluctuate, and the hope of victory is pinned on the alliance. This is undoubtedly the behavior of the bald-headed Qiang. Being strong requires one's own strength, and even the allies need to know that in fact they are not that important. These people will be more willing to bow their heads and not jump up to make a request. An idea.

Therefore, Sima Yi is preparing to stir up the northern part of Youzhou and make waves. In a sense, Sima Yi wants to solve the Youzhou problem as much as possible. Although he may not be able to solve it once and for all, he is a little tired of these Xianbei people. .

Although Sima Yi did well here, he still felt that it would be better and more comfortable for him to stay in Chang'an. After all, Sima Yi had no idea of ​​dedicating his life to the frontier. Even if he had, he would let others go, and he didn't want to go.

Zhao Yun and Sima Yi had reached an agreement and left first.

Sima Yi stood beside the map and looked at the map on the table.

Undoubtedly, for the entire Youzhou, Cao Jun in Yuyang was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. After all, Cao Jun had no retreat.

The Xianbei people can flee to Baishui Heishan. In that area, it is a troublesome thing for the Han people. Unless it is really necessary, it is not worth going into the mountains to search and pursue. Therefore, if the Xianbei people really feel that they cannot defeat them, they He could retreat, but Sima Yi was too lazy to pursue him.

The same is true for the Liaodong Army. The distance from Changshan to Liaodong is indeed too far. There is no intermediate node. Even if it is fought back and forth, it is difficult to effectively control it.

So in the final analysis, it’s still Yuyang.

Yuyang has iron and salt. It has been an important military town since the Han Dynasty. If Cao Jun loses Yuyang, it is almost equivalent to losing control of Youzhou, and it will also lose the only source of war horses. Therefore, Cao Jun retreat, at least.

Because there were few retreats, Cao's army would be timid, especially after being defeated by the hussar general Fei Qian in Yuzhou and realizing the gap between the soldiers of the two sides...

And these are opportunities.

Sima Yi looked at the map, smiled slightly, and then moved his hands over the map, as if holding invisible chess pieces, simulating the situation of the entire Youbei.

……(*???)=3……

Since the attack on Cao's army's grain transport team, the Ding Ling tribe has not sent out any more.

After the Xianbei people took away hundreds of war horses, they knew to some extent that the Ding Ling people were unhappy, so they did not continue to ask the Ding Ling people to attack, so the Ding Ling people took the rare opportunity to station themselves on the flank of the Budugen Royal Court in Mobei.

Because of the performance of the Ding Ling people during this period, Dugen and other Xianbei people believed that the Ding Ling people were more or less obedient and reliable, so they did not have any special suspicions about the Ding Ling people.

"Leader, what are we going to do next?" 』

Ding Lingtou glanced sideways. That side was in the direction of the Budugen Royal Court, "Wait a minute..."

"hold on? 』

"Well..." Leader Ding Ling nodded. As of now, leader Ding Ling has not seen any Han people from the Hussars showing the power to destroy Bu Dugen. On the contrary, there seem to be many people in Bu Dugen's royal court.

Could it be that the news of being beaten is false?

In the desert, whether a tribe is strong or not depends on how many people there are. Seeing leader Ding Ling, who seemed to still have so many people in the Budugen Royal Court, he was naturally a little unable to make up his mind. Of course, this is because leader Ding Ling does not know how many people there were in Budugen Royal Court. After all, in this era, anyone who can figure out the number within ten can be considered a leader, and so on, when the number of people increases. If the number exceeds a thousand, it is impossible to compromise that all the people in the Dugen Royal Court will not be able to walk, or they will all come out to count or something, so we can only make a rough estimate based on the area of ​​​​the area, and the Xianbei Royal Court obviously occupies The land is not small.

However, when several messengers passed by almost madly, they immediately attracted everyone's attention...

Immediately, Bu Dugen summoned the big and small leaders, including leader Ding Ling, and announced a shocking event, "The Xiongnu rebellion in the south of Yinshan Mountain!" 』

Bu Dugen's face was glowing red. If it weren't for the sake of maintaining his dignity, he would even want to look up to the sky and laugh three times, and then say something like "Today will happen" or "The sky has eyes for immortality" to vent these moments. Days of depression.

"The Southern Huns rebelled?" Why? 』

"Isn't this strange? Aren't all Han people like that?" It must be oppression and greed, and the Southern Xiongnu couldn't bear it anymore..."

"This is great... Well, I'm not saying it's good for the Southern Huns to be oppressed, but I'm saying this is a good opportunity for us..."

After hearing the news, there was an uproar in the Xianbei royal tent. Everyone was expressing their thoughts and the whole situation was chaotic. Budugen obviously had no intention of directly prohibiting these people from discussing, and even enjoyed this time to some extent...

The northern and southern Xiongnu were divided. The southern Xiongnu was more inclined to the Han Dynasty, but this did not mean that they all stayed contented and honest. In 94 AD, the southern Xiongnu had a large-scale rebellion. Then in 109 AD, the southern Xiongnu even united with Xianbei and Wuhuan carried out large-scale plunder in the five counties of northern Han Dynasty.

Even during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were internal divisions among the Southern Xiongnu. Those who were friendly to the Han Dynasty and those who were against the Han Dynasty fought, which led to the death of the Qiangqu Chanyu.

Even after being subordinated to the Hussar, the Huchuquan rebellion still occurred. Although it was suppressed in the end, most Xianbei people believed that the Southern Xiongnu would definitely be unconvinced, so the rebellion was a very serious matter. Normal things, although a little unexpected, are still reasonable.

"The key is..." As soon as Bu Dugen opened his mouth, everyone immediately shut up. This obviously made Bu Dugen very satisfied. Then he slowly looked around and then continued, "That damn Han general, lead the men and horses." Went to suppress the rebellion... That means that now, the Han camp in Changshan is the weakest time..."

As soon as Bu Dugen finished speaking, there was another loud commotion!

For most Xianbei people, Zhao Yun is undoubtedly the biggest psychological shadow on them. But now that he heard that Zhao Yun left, it was like taking a sneak peek at a naughty kid whose parents were at work. His whole body suddenly felt relaxed, and almost all of his body felt relaxed. Get up and dance.

"Is this...this news...true?" ” Leader Ding Ling couldn’t help but ask.

Bu Dugen glanced at leader Ding Ling with some displeasure, "I have a reliable source of information..."

It was naturally impossible for Bu Dugen to tell everything about the undercover agents he dispatched, and he felt that this should be a trump card of his own. When he needed to use it, he would definitely make those Han people suffer a big loss!

Bu Dugen spoke very confidently, and everyone else could naturally notice it, and became excited almost immediately, as if they had taken revenge, conquered the Han camp, and enjoyed the taste of victory!

Bu Dugen raised his hand slightly, "Moreover!" We can also get the Han people in the south to cooperate with us! 』

"Those Han people?" Those Han people may not be willing to follow us to attack Changshan..." Some people raised objections.

Bu Dugen nodded and said calmly: "So they will definitely be willing to fight those Wuhuan people who betrayed us!" 』

……(σ｀д′)σ……

After sending away the shameful and arrogant Xianbei people, Cao Chun hesitated and wavered.

What makes you hesitate is that you don’t know whether it’s true or not, but what makes you waver is that you feel like you’re a transformed serf singing…

What if it's fake?

But what if it's true?

Cao Chun still had some confidence in defending the city, but if he went out to fight in the city without bringing mosquito repellent... well, without sufficient preparation, Cao Chun would also be a little flustered...

The situation in Youbei is like a whirlpool, and Cao Chun, who is at the center of the whirlpool, naturally has to bear more and greater pressure. Xianbei people, can Xianbei people be trusted?

Cao Chun also felt disgusted.

But now the Xianbei people are shouting, "This situation is stable!" "The fierce momentum and powerful voice made Cao Chun seem to have a little more hope in his heart. Maybe... this situation is really stable?

If Zhao Yun really left the Changshan camp and went to Yinshan to quell the rebellion, then it would indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Hussar base in Changshan. Even if the Hussar wanted to rebuild it, it would not be easy. It can buy Cao Cao at least two or three years. After all, time is precious now, and it is difficult to realize it without being in it.

what to do?

The Xianbei people wanted to attack Changshan. It seemed that they were eager to avenge the last attack by Zhao Yun, but they must also be worried about their flanks, so they asked Cao Chun to attack Liu He, at least to restrain Liu He from threatening the Xianbei people.

If Cao Chun does not move, it will probably also affect the Xianbei people, making the Xianbei people care about the first and last, which may eventually lead to missed opportunities. Then Cao Chun will also lose the pitiful tacit trust between him and the Xianbei people. , will eventually be left alone...

But as for the attack, this trip is not close.

Liu He is also in the north of Youzhou, but he is basically with the Wuhuan people. Because the Wuhuan people have just experienced a major split, the number of people is naturally reduced. They are recharging their strength and are not usually there. Too mobile.

Cao Chun thought about it and finally invited Ju Shou to help with advice.

Relatively speaking, Ju Shou was more settled because he was relatively objective. After listening to Cao Chun's concerns, he basically understood Cao Chun's thoughts.

This kind of opportunity is like being dealt a good deck of cards on the gambling table. Holding it in your hand, you want to win a big one. However, because you don’t have many chips, you are naturally worried about gains and losses. At the same time, you are also afraid of what is actually in your hand. The card looks big, but it may not be the biggest in the end...

"You can just wait and see what happens..." Jushou said slowly, "If this is true, the Xianbei people will definitely be anxious and will be the first to send troops..."

"But..." Cao Chun's face looked a little bad, and his eyes were darkened. He tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep well thinking about it, "If he is from Xianbei..."

Jushou said slowly: "If Changshan Camp really mobilizes troops to come back for reinforcements, even if the horses are fast, it will take about ten days to get to Yinshan Mountain, and at least twenty days to go back... If there is really a rebellion in Yinshan Mountain, and Changshan needs to mobilize troops, then it is not It can be calmed down in an instant... Even if the battle is over, it will take three to five days. In this case, it can be as little as a month, as much as a month and a half, or even more... Why not wait two more days? 』

Cao Chun walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, then nodded, "What the military advisor said is true..."

"If Xianbei really wants to attack Changshan, all he has to worry about is Wuhuan. He is afraid that he will attack the flanks and be unable to return..." Jushou continued, "However, Wuhuan is now divided into two parts, and his power is slightly smaller. Even if he has an alliance with Hussar, , and did not dare to send troops brazenly to stop the Xianbei people... Therefore, the Wuhuan people must have sent out after the Xianbei people passed..."

"yes! ”Cao Chunyi clapped his hands.

Do the Wuhuan people dare to stop the Xianbei people themselves?

If the Xianbei people received false news and the Yinshan rebellion was false, it means that the Changshan camp is still strong, so the Wuhuan people will naturally have the confidence to cooperate. But if the Changshan camp is empty, then the Wuhuan people will Are you willing to risk your life to stand in front of the hussar's men?

Obviously it is impossible, so based on the actions of the Wuhuan people, we can generally draw some conclusions. Although they are not necessarily correct, they can also be used as a reference.

"If the Xianbei people want to cross Wuhuan, they must have a partial army to suppress them!" It will not be too late for the general to send out troops at that time..." Jushou said slowly, "If Changshan is really empty, after the general defeats Wuhuan, he can naturally merge into one place and severely damage the Hussars... If Changshan is deceived, The general also defeated Wuhuan and cut off the wings of his hussar, which is not a loss..."

Cao Chun suddenly realized and laughed, "That's true!" As expected, the military advisor held firm and guarded the center, which was wonderful! Wonderful! 』

Cao Chun excitedly waved his fist, and then remembered something: "It's just that I'm afraid the Xianbei people won't want to..."

That's right, Ju Shou basically used the Xianbei people as spearmen, and Cao Chun was playing support from behind to take advantage. Naturally, there wasn't much risk, but the Xianbei people were not that stupid, and they might not be willing to let Cao Chun take advantage along the way.

"Just say that we don't have enough food and grass...it will take some time to prepare one or two..." Jushou said with a smile, "I'll give you some more armor and equipment, and say a few good words, that's all..." Jushou said that he wanted to fool the Xianbei people. , I am an expert below.

Cao Chun was stunned and suddenly laughed. Isn't the incident of accidental injury that I was angry about before now the best reason? The Xianbei people were helpless, and then they got some armor and so on, so naturally they had no choice but to admit it...

"So, in the opinion of the military advisor, who can lead the attack?" ” Cao Chun asked again.

Jushou glanced at Cao Chun, then lowered his eyelids and said: "I am just a staff planner... As for the deployment of the army, it is the general who makes the decision. I can't say more..."

Zhang He and Ju Shou can be regarded as old colleagues. If Ju Shou recommends Zhang He, who can guarantee that Cao Chun will not have the fine traditions of the old Cao family and begins to doubt whether Zhang He and Ju Shou are having an affair? So Jushou simply rejected the suggestion, but in fact, would Cao Chun be assured of leading his men to attack and then leave Zhang He and Jushou in Yuyang?

Cao Chun pretended to think about it for a while, and then said: "Jun Yi has both civil and military skills and is worthy of a big job... I wonder what the military advisor thinks?" 』

"It all depends on the general's dispatch. I have no objection." Jushou said with his hands raised.

Cao Chun clapped his hands and said, "Good!" This is how to reply to Xianbei! Order Junyi to prepare in advance and march to Wuhuan at any time! 』
