The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 668
"Report... to the supervisor, the enemy army has begun to retreat!"

A soldier covered in blood flew up to Lin Chao on a galloping horse, and clasped his fists before he even had time to get off his horse and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, everyone under the big banner lifted their spirits.

But Lin Chao was keenly aware of the key point, and asked, "Did the bandit army retreat or lose?"

There is still a big difference between the two.

The former can only prove that these Xianbei barbarians retreated in defeat, but they may still maintain their formation, and even if they catch up, they may not be able to kill them all.

But if it is the latter, it proves that the formation of the Xianbei army has been completely broken up.

In other words, the shopping on the frontal battlefield is over, and it's time to start harvesting!

After the soldiers heard the words, they immediately clasped their fists and replied: "Back to the supervisory army, the barbarians were defeated and left. When they retreated, the formation was already messy and out of scale!"

"it is good!"

Lin Chao jumped up suddenly, and ordered loudly: "Decree, the whole army pursues, and these barbarians must be wiped out!"

"only!"

The soldiers went as ordered.

At this time, Jia Xu, who had been drinking, suddenly coughed lightly, and said, "Situ, the victory in this battle is thanks to Wuhuan and the Xianbei warriors. Now that the overall situation is settled, why not let the three great kings also make some contributions. In the future When meeting the Son of Heaven, his face is also radiant."

As soon as this remark came out, the three of Tadun, who were worried about the number of casualties under their command, suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Jia Xu gratefully.

Who is this, who is willing to speak up for us? He is really a gentleman!

If you can lead the troops to chase and kill the retreating Xianbei people at this time, your contribution will definitely be insignificant.

It's a pity... He, Lin Zichu, would never allow it.

Thinking of this, the complexions of the three of them dimmed again.

But the next moment, Lin Chao's laughing voice came over.

"Wen He's words are reasonable, but I don't know..."

As Lin Chao spoke, he cast his eyes on the three of them.

The three of them clasped their fists immediately and said, "Situ, since Xiao Wang is a loyal subject of the great man, he is naturally willing to lead the army to fight and be loyal to the emperor. I also ask Situ for permission!"

God is sorry, Lin Zichu is finally willing to be a human again!
Lin Chao also seemed to be moved by the three people's speeches, and asked quickly, "Oh, are the three great kings really so loyal?"

"It's natural! Xiao Wang is blessed by the Son of Heaven, and will serve the Great Han forever and ever!"

Ta Dun hurriedly expressed his loyalty, with a sincere expression on his face.

"Since that's the case...the foreign ministers can't stop the sincerity of the three of you." Lin Chao sized up the three of them, and then he said with a smile, "On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and the Lou Ban has no eyes. Yu Shang is still young, and the foreign ministers thought it was inappropriate to venture into dangerous places. As for the two great kings, please do it yourself!"

"Thank you Situ!"

Hearing this, Ta Dun and Cheng Lugui clasped their fists in response, then happily mounted their horses and rushed forward.

Damn, free at last!

As for Lou Ban who didn't get the chance to go out and looked pitifully, Lin Chao smiled at him, and then raised the wine glass in his hand.

Although Lou Ban was not reconciled, he didn't dare to complain, so he had no choice but to take a drink from his glass.

On the other hand, Guo Jia, who was next to him, had a look of curiosity in his eyes.

"Situ, although Lou Ban Shanyu is young, he is very brave. Why do you..."

Why keep this kid, why not kill him together?
Hearing this, Lou Ban immediately revealed a longing look.

Lin Chao shook his head and said, "You don't need to talk too much about filial piety. You can't hurt yourself if you have a body of ten thousand gold."

Get rid of them all, and you will be in charge of those old, young, women and children in Wuhuan?
It's not impossible, first you have to be reincarnated as a Wuhuan.

……

However, Ta Dun and Cheng Lvgui hurried forward, and finally arrived at the front of the formation at the same time as the previous messengers.

Just as the whole army was about to chase after him, he found that the number of soldiers under his command...was less than half!

Before the war, there were nearly 5000 people in the Wuhuan Three Divisions, but looking around now, the number of troops is more than half that of before, estimated to be less than 7000.

How Lin Chao used the Wuhuan cavalry, the capitalists would cry when they saw it.

After seeing this scene, Ta Dun's heart became cold!

Lin Zichu, you don't feel sorry for the life of my Wuhuan people at all, you are really a son of man in vain!
Ta Dun was full of resentment towards Lin Chao in his heart, but in the end he dared not speak out.

Although he had to get out of the prison, his strength was greatly weakened, and the crossbow arrows of the Han army were still behind. Even if he had a thousand resentments, he could only hide them in his heart, and he had to immediately lead the army to chase and defeat the fleeing Xianbei.

Don't look at Taton losing so much, but compared to Cheng Lugui, this is already considered good.

Because there were originally 3000 people under Cheng Lugui's command, but now there are only less than 300 people left.

He and Ta Dun looked at each other, but remained silent, seeing the sadness in the eyes of both of them.

As cannon fodder, he finally got what he deserved.

Just when the two were feeling slightly sad, Lin Xi from behind came over with a gun on his horse.

"The supervising army has an order, led by the warriors of Wuhuan, the whole army will chase down the fleeing Xianbei barbarians, the two of you can't do it?"

At this moment, Lin Xi was like a ghost wielding a knife, not giving the two of them any chance to breathe.

"As ordered!"

The situation is stronger than others, so Ta Dun and Cheng Lugui had no choice but to embrace their orders.

In this way, a vigorous pursuit began.

……

On the vast grassland, Su Li, Mi Jia, and Que Ji are leading the remnants of the defeated army to run wildly.

In this face-to-face fight that lasted several hours, they were defeated in the end.

Compared with the Wuhuan army with the rhubarb crossbow behind them for spiritual bonus, the Xianbei people took the lead in retreating, and then a series of soldiers began to flee, no matter how hard Su Li stopped it, it was useless.

When the front soldiers retreated on a large scale, Su Li knew that he had lost the war.

"These Han people are really shameless enough to kidnap the Wuhuan people to attack!"

Mijia snorted coldly, spat out blood foam, and roared angrily.

In the battle just now, he also suffered some minor injuries.

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to complain." Su Li was very calm, "For the present plan, the only way is to return to the tribe first, and then plan for the future."

"My lord, we lost nearly ten thousand sons in this battle, so we just fled back in such a desperate manner?" Que Ji shouted angrily, "Besides, we didn't gain anything from going south this time. How can we explain to the people when we go back!"

"How else?"

Su Li gave Que Ji a cold look, and said in his mouth: "The [-] army marched south, and now there are less than [-] left. If we turn around and fight the Han people, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out!"

"If it doesn't work, we can change another route and continue going south. I don't believe that every road is heavily guarded by the Han army! If I don't get any benefits, I will not pay back!"

Seeing that Que Ji could not be persuaded, Su Li sneered and said, "If Mr. Que Ji still wants to fight, then please do it yourself!"

Unexpectedly, Su Li's unsalty words angered Que Ji who was in agitation, and he pointed at Su Li and shouted: "Su Li, as my Lord Xianbei, you are so greedy. If you are afraid of death, what qualifications do you have to lead the three divisions!"

"Why, now that you have lost a lot, you still want to seize power?"

Su Li sneered, but he had already picked up the weapon in his hand, and he was ready to fight if there was any disagreement.

"It's not about seizing power, but if you can't lead the three departments, you might as well give up the seat of your lord!"

Although the words were high-sounding, Que Ji was not slow at all, and drew out the weapon almost at the same time as Su Li.

Although internal strife is normal on the grasslands, they had just suffered a major defeat at this time, and the enemy army was still chasing them from behind. It was obviously not a good time to kill each other, so Mi Jia had to come out to smooth things over.

"Calm down, both of you. Now that the enemy is at hand, we should still fight against the enemy. At least we have to get through the difficulties first."

These words also gave the two a step up, they immediately went down the slope and put away their weapons.

"Report...the Han Chinese army is catching up!"

At this moment, a Xianbei soldier ran over to report.

"what!"

Su Li was shocked, and quickly asked, "How many people are chasing you?"

In previous battles, even if the Han army won, there was no precedent for chasing them. Why is it so uncharacteristic this time!
The Xianbei soldier replied: "There are probably tens of thousands of people!"

Su Li didn't have time to think about it, and immediately shouted: "The order, the whole army retreats quickly, thirty miles ahead is the boundary of Yinshan Mountain. As long as we enter Yinshan Mountain, we will be safe!"

"As ordered!"

After crossing the border of the Han Dynasty, they entered the vast grassland.

In the past, when the barbarians went south to plunder and were defeated, the Han army would stop pursuing them as long as they left the border of the Han Dynasty.

After all, the distance is here, and it is very dangerous to go deep into the grassland. Once you get lost, the whole army may be wiped out.

With so many experience bases, Suli firmly believed that as long as he returned to the grassland, he would be safe.

But this time, he obviously miscalculated.

After giving the order to pursue, Lin Chao issued two more orders.

One is to let the subordinates send Lou Ban back to house arrest, and the other is to let the peasants in Yuyang City start escorting food and grass.

Taking advantage of the current victory, Lin Chao intends to officially start the pace of the Northern Expedition, bringing the original plan back on track.

After these two military orders were issued, Lin Chao himself returned to Yuyang City immediately.

The war has begun, and Lin Chao needs to get news from the other two armies in order to unify the entire battlefield and at the same time formulate a tactic.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

In Yuyang City, Lin Chao set his sights on Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Xun You.

As the strategist of the Northern Expedition, Xun You took the lead in standing up and cupping his hands: "Uncle, my nephew thinks that after persuading Liu Yu to surrender, conquering Youzhou, and unifying Wuhuan, the battle has now reached the final stage."

Lin Chao nodded and said, "Yes, except for Gongsun Zan, the entire You and Ji prefectures will have no obstacles. As for Gongsun Zan...you can wait for the army to return from the Northern Expedition and force him to land with a great victory. But right now How should we deal with the Xianbei war?"

Judging from the current battle situation, the chances of winning are great, but how to achieve their goals still needs to be discussed.

Hearing this, Xun You laughed: "Uncle said before going out that this battle must be done once and for all, to completely eradicate the harm of the alien race."

"Gongda was joking. There is no one-size-fits-all thing in this world. Even if we can wipe out all the Xianbei barbarians, dozens of hundreds of years later, there will be other barbarians rising up. But since we are in our position, we have to Even if we can't do it once and for all, we must try our best to ensure the tranquility of the frontier so that my fellow citizens will not be abused by barbarians."

"What my uncle said is very true. My nephew has a plan. If it succeeds, it will keep the Northland safe for at least 50 years."

"Year 50?"

Lin Chao frowned, his eyes moved slightly, and he became interested immediately.

"Yes, at least 50 years."

"Gongda, please speak frankly."

"This plan is also simple to say, it is nothing more than four words: Li Ting Sweep Point!"

"Sweeping holes in Liting..."

Lin Chao repeated these four words softly, and his eyes revealed a look of contemplation.

These four characters come from "Han Shu Xiongnu Biography", which roughly means to completely destroy the hostile forces, make them change course, and completely rule them on both physical and spiritual levels.

Complete destruction is just four words on paper, but if it is really implemented, it will be piled up with bones and endless blood and tears...

However, under the current conditions, it is still possible to completely destroy the hostile forces, but it is really not easy to make them change course.

The grassland is vast and rich in resources, and even if Lin Chao can take it down, he does not have sufficient conditions to manage it.

However, Xun You's words hit Lin Chao's thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia: "What do you two think?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Gongda's plan is exactly what someone wants to say."

"Someone also seconded."

Jia Xu also agreed.

"Okay, then let's sweep the acupoints in Liting." Lin Chao said, "Now the Xianbei is divided into three tribes, and the Suli tribe is already in our hands. Sooner or later, it will be wiped out. The Kebineng tribe is currently fighting against Yide in Daijun. If Yi De wins this battle, then only the head will be left.

A certain general ordered to tell Yide that if this battle can be won, then... there is no need to keep prisoners. "

"As ordered!"

The three immediately got up and responded.

……

When the time came to mid-April, Zhang Fei, who was guarding the city, received two letters.

One was from Gao Shun and the other was from Zhang Liao.

The content of the two letters is very simple, that is to send troops together to flank Ke Bineng's army outside the city!

After half a month of siege, Ke Bineng not only failed to capture the city, but the morale of his soldiers became weaker and weaker.

The food and grass in the army was almost exhausted. Fortunately, the Xianbei people had a lot of war horses, so they were not hungry.

It's just that there were no results in the past half month, but now they have to kill horses for food, and the army will inevitably complain.

And the Gaoliu City, which is like an iron wall in front of him, makes Ke Bineng even more desperate.Even though he intends to retreat, when he thinks about the situation in the tribe, Ke Bineng is instantly caught in a dilemma.

Attacking, you can't take down the city in front of you.

If you retreat, you will starve to death when you go back.

An emotion called despair spread to Ke Bineng's heart little by little over time.

But what he didn't know was that Zhang Fei in Gaoliu City in front of him was very happy at the moment, and began to plan a night attack plan with Xin Ping and Tai Shici.

"Military Master, you can go out of the city to meet the enemy now!"

Zhang Fei handed the two letters to Xin Ping, and after he read them, he shouted loudly.

"The time has dragged on for half a month, and the barbarians on the opposite side have already run out of food. Not to mention the low morale, we have two more reinforcements, and we can indeed go out of the city to meet the enemy."

Xin Ping nodded and said: "However, we still have to make an appointment with Zhang Wenyuan and Gao Gongyi to attack the barbarians outside the city together. Fighting opportunities are rare, so we must annihilate the barbarians outside the city in one fell swoop, and capture Ke Bineng alive!"
