I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65, the neglected overlord

Wang Ge continued: "But now in Mayi City, where all the troops are concentrated, we have given up the surrounding geographical advantages. If the enemy occupies these places, we will be within the enemy's attack range, which can be described as very passive.

And this war also spread the wealth of our Mayi all over the northern border, the enemy who will come next time will not be a horse bandit like Huo Shaoyun!It is the Huns in the west and the Xianbei in the north who may go south, especially the Xianbei. They go south to plunder almost every year, because the poor border counties of the big Han are better than the richest places on the grassland.But now they know that there is a rich Mayi City in northern Xinjiang, and they will definitely come to rob us.

If we don't make preparations now, the Xianbei people may suddenly appear in front of our eyes like the Horse Thieves Alliance, and the Xianbei people's iron cavalry will not be as easy to deal with as the Horse Thieves Alliance! "

So we have to make preparations now to establish a strong stronghold in Shanwu or Pingcheng. It is best to have 5 elites stationed to replace the Han army guarding the Great Wall in the north. Kill them, cut off their hands and feet, let the Xianbei people know that our Tengjia army is not easy to mess with.For a large group of Xianbei cavalry to prevent them from attacking Mayi, buy us time to assemble the militia

Xu Wei was shocked by Wang Ge's point of view. He never thought that the Xianbei people would come to attack Mayi, but he still agrees with Wang Ge's statement. The poor border towns are all robbed by Xianbei people, so there is no reason not to rob Mayi. Land of Treasures!
The others also looked at Wang Ge in shock. They were still complacent about defeating the Horse Thieves Alliance, but they never thought of this dangerous enemy!They actually forgot the overlord of the grassland.

It can only be said that the Xianbei people were too transparent during this time period, although they have become the overlord of the grassland, the number one enemy of the Han, and invade the Han every year.

But after Tan Shihuai's death, the entire Xianbei people fell apart. The new leader of the Xianbei people, He Lian, was not only inferior in talent and ability to his father, but also greedy for money and lust, and could not convince the crowd at all, so the current Xianbei people were split into several The threat to the big man is also much lower, so everyone didn't think of the powerful enemy Xianbei.

I actually ignored the current overlord of the grassland, the Xianbei people, this is simply an unforgivable mistake!

After Xu Wei was reminded by Wang Geyi, he realized that Wangtingdanhan Mountain of the Xianbei people was only a few hundred miles away from them, and this distance was only two or three days away for the cavalry.

Xu Wei immediately whispered to Niu Gui who was at the side: "Send someone to find a way to go deep into the tribe of the Xianbei people in the north, and keep an eye on their movements!"

Niu Guidao: "I have sent many caravans to Khantan Mountain to buy horses, cattle and sheep, and found some news. This year, Helian should not have the energy to go south!"

Xu Wei asked, "Why?"

Niu Guidao: "Last year the king's court of the Xianbei was hit by a snowstorm, and He Lian borrowed tens of thousands of cattle and sheep from his uncle Tuoba Feng to survive the disaster, but he didn't want to return the cattle and sheep, and now the two sides are almost fighting each other because of this matter. , under such circumstances, Helian should not dare to go south!"

Only then did Xu Wei heave a sigh of relief. God blessed him, and he can spend a year in peace.

Xu Wei said: "Put in more spies to keep abreast of the movements of the Xianbei people."

Niu Gui nodded!
Xu Wei can look down on Helian, but he can't look down on the overlord of the Xianbei people. At this stage, the Xianbei people are the only overlord who can produce hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for them to gather such a huge cavalry, but who told the whole northern Xinjiang that Mayi has billions of dollars in wealth, and with such a large amount of wealth, maybe the Xianbei people will disagree, Let's deal with him together. Although the probability of this situation is very small, Xu Wei has to guard against it!
At the same time, for the first time, he felt that his choice of Mayi was a wrong choice. One side was the Huns and the other was the Xianbei. The flaws are really too great, if he hadn't opened money cheats, it would be really difficult to survive in this place, it seems that the city wall of Mayi will be built as soon as possible!
Xu Wei looked at the eloquent Wang Ge and nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, the world does not lack talents, but it lacks the eyes to discover talents. Isn't this the chief of staff he wants.

After the discussion, Xu Wei appointed Wang Ge as the first chief of staff in public, and he wanted generals to promote the staff system in the army. The Qubu with thousands of people will set up staff officers, who will be served by experienced veterans.

After Xu Wei explained what a staff officer is, Wang Lei and the others showed understanding expressions. Isn't this just joining the army, and then they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, in Xu Wei's view, it was just a name change.

Originally, Xu Wei was worried that they would not be convinced that Wang Ke would rise to the top in one step. After all, the position of chief of staff can already be regarded as the number two figure in the army.

But the reality is that everyone doesn't care about the position of chief of staff at all!They didn't realize that Wang Ge had reached the sky in one step, but regarded him as Xu Wei's secretary. Naturally, Wang Lei and the others couldn't care about such a position.

At the same time, Xu Wei also approved Wang Ge's plan to occupy the surrounding counties. If he doesn't occupy all the dangerous places around Mayi, how can he farm with peace of mind? I'm afraid that the Huns and Xianbei will come to him to grab a handful!
Because of the need to reform the military system, after Wang Ge was appointed chief of staff, Xu Wei and them have been discussing how to occupy the entire county town north of Yanmen Pass and the entire Dingxiang County and establish a complete defense system.

And this requires sending 5 armies to occupy Qiangyin, Juyang, Pingcheng, Shanwu, Wuzhou and other dangerous places, so that if the enemy wants to attack Mayi, they must first occupy these 5 counties!
This gave Mayi an early warning time. As long as these strongholds can resist the enemy for up to 5 days, Xu Wei can lead an army of 10 to support them.

But these five counties are not difficult to occupy. Before Xu Wei came, because of the continuous invasion of the Xianbei, the officials of the Han Dynasty had no one to manage these places.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the big Han gave up many counties here. When Xu Wei and the others occupied Mayi, the local officials even ran away, leaving only some people who could not escape here, but the combined population of these counties was also But with tens of thousands of people, it can be said that it is only a little stronger than no man's land.

Xu Weizhen occupied these places, and the local people might welcome them very much. After all, Xu Wei is a Han Chinese after all, so he would not kill them inexplicably.

The Xianbei people come to plunder them every year, and even take them to the grassland as slaves. Someone protects everyone, even if it is a rebel like Lei Gong, the Han people will naturally welcome them.
