I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 39 Great Achievement (today for further reading)
Regarding how to deal with Xianbei, including Dong Zhuo, Xia Yu and even Gongsun Zan, they all felt that the method of dividing troops should be used.

The Bingzhou army went straight out from Yanmen to attack the central part of Xianbei, while the Youzhou army went north to attack the eastern part of Xianbei. Among the three tribes of Xianbei, these two were the main force. Conquer in one fell swoop in two ways, so that the opponent has no gaps to follow.

The method of warfare is quite satisfactory, and it is also in line with the foreign military methods of generations of the Han Dynasty, and most importantly, whether it is for the generals of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, or Youzhou, everyone agrees with each other. If you don't grab credits, it's like doing your own thing, no one needs to play tricks with others, the fight is who can fight.

After planning, Lu Zhi agreed to the advice of the officers, and then sent troops out of the fortress.

On a dark and windy night one month before leaving the fortress, Liu Jian came to visit his teacher and advised him on how to defeat the enemy.

Ever since he heard about Liu Jian's murder in Hedong County, Lu Zhi had a high opinion of this maverick student who dared to do what ordinary people dare not do. Now that he took the initiative to speak out, Lu Zhi is really quite Seriously.

Liu Jian went straight in, admonishing Lu Zhi: "Tan Shihuai is seriously ill, and his life is not long. Although we have this prerequisite, if we don't plan carefully, we may not be able to win just with a strong attack. The failure three years ago That's the best lesson ever learned,"

"Nowadays, Tan Shihuai's successor, He Lian, is said to be a greedy, lustful, incompetent, recalcitrant person, and the Xianbei Tripartite was established not long ago, without a stable internal affairs operation system, and only relying on the prestige of Tan Shihuai. Together,"

"Under such circumstances, if we separate them and lure the leaders of the various tribes of Xianbei, especially the heroes such as Ke Zuiyu of the Eastern Xianbei to compete with Helian for the throne, will the victory be easily achieved?"

After Liu Jian's opinion was expressed, Lu Zhi remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

At first Liu Jian thought it was Lu Zhi who disagreed with him, so he couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Lu Zhi suddenly asked, "Have you ever read Sun Tzu?"

Liu Jian replied subconsciously, "I haven't read it."

"Your remonstrance just now is to plan secretly and attack troops, followed by attacking diplomatic relations, followed by attacking soldiers, and then attacking cities. There is also the principle that knowing yourself and the enemy will not be imperiled in a hundred battles, and more or less the same principle that those who can fight and those who cannot fight will win."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi frowned and looked at him: "That's it, you still say you haven't read military books?"

"Could it be that the ancients made peace with me?" Liu Jian asked the teacher in surprise.

In the next second, Lu Zhi told him to get out.

But in fact, although he was blunt on the surface, Lu Zhi still followed Liu Jian's advice, and he entrusted Liu Jian to take charge of the overall planning of this matter.

Sometimes, just one thing or two things can completely change a person's views and expectations of him.

Teacher Lu began to have expectations for his student.

Perhaps, this child could become a shining star in the future of the Han Dynasty.

You have to give him a chance to try to show himself.

Teacher Lu wants to test how much this little apprentice is capable of.

Lu Zhi transferred Liu Jian from Youzhou and placed him in Xia Yu's army, and gave him full responsibility for the separation of Xianbei's various ministries.

Lu Zhi had his good intentions in doing this.

Three years ago, Xia Yu was defeated, and the defeat was miserable, but you have to admit that Xia Yu is a good fighter, victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, and you cannot completely deny a person just because of one failure.

Lu Zhi hopes that Liu Jian can learn more from Xia Yu's side.

In fact, Lu Zhi himself is also an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and he is also very strong in war, especially the Jiujiang Rebellion, which he put down very smoothly at the beginning.

But Lu Zhi also knew in his heart that he majored in ancient Chinese classics and political affairs, and he also studied war. Compared with those who have been dealing with foreign races in border counties all year round, he is definitely not as good as those generals. Know ourselves and know each other.

The rebels he suppressed were all Han Dynasty thieves, and against the truly vicious alien Xianbei, he had to look at Dong Zhuo, Xia Yu, and Tian Yan, veteran Liangzhou generals who guarded the frontier fortress all the year round.

He didn't even think that he was stronger than Duan Jiong and Zhang Huan.

Teacher Lu's biggest advantage is knowing himself.

Liu Jian was very aware of Lu Zhi's painstaking efforts. While following Lu Zhi's instructions, he began to send people to secretly contact the leaders of the Xianbei tribes, and at the same time learned from Xia Yu how to march on the grassland and how to fight and deploy.

Fighting a war is a job of experience, but also a job of talent.

Some people are very talented. When they see the mountains and rivers, they can probably think of how to set up a camp and where to pinch the key points to ensure defense against the enemy's sneak attack, but this is just the basics.

Some people have a lot of experience and are able to keep track of the terrain, analyze where the water source is convenient to draw water, where the supply of food and grass can be obtained, the drill system of the soldiers in the barracks, the intensity of rewards and punishments, and the confidence of the soldiers in this battle. When is the most suitable time to fight with the opponent and so on.

At the same time, war is also a subject of statistics. You need to know the strengths and weaknesses of your soldiers. How many of these people can actually fight, how many can only be used as a facade, how many people are not acclimatized and sick, and how many people can't fight and have to do logistics. , How many people are still not firm in their beliefs, and may turn against each other.

When it comes to the battlefield, the formation of troops is even more like an art.

How to play the opponent to death in a row is not something that can be explained clearly in a few sentences.

In short, Liu Jian learned a lot from Xia Yu, but there were also things he didn't understand.

If he didn't understand, he asked Mr. Lu.

Liu Bei was also with Liu Jian. In good conscience, Liu Bei was more talented than Liu Jian when it came to war. He sometimes even learned more than Liu Jian. Liu Jian sometimes even needed to ask Liu Bei for advice.

……

As time passed, the Han army and Xianbei continued to fight, and Liu Jian was also making continuous efforts to divide the eastern and western parts of Xianbei.

The final result is that Lu Zhi is very satisfied with the result of Liu Jian's differentiation of Xianbei.

He felt that he did not misunderstand the person.

Almost none of the leaders of Xianbei in the east and west are optimistic about Helian. In their eyes, Helian is not a qualified leader at all.

As for you asking them, if Helian is not a competent Xianbei leader, then who is?If nothing else happens, out of a hundred of them, 99 of them answered themselves.

This is not a good thing for Xianbei, but a great thing for the Han army.

The more confident they are in themselves, the more effective Lu Zhi and Liu Jian's splitting work will be.

Don't want to be a barbarian who sweats profusely, it's not Xianbei!

Then, things took a turn.

The Han army and the Xianbei confronted each other. Logically speaking, the Han army went out of the fortress, and the desert and grassland in the north should be Xianbei's home field. Although Tan Shihuai was seriously ill, Xianbei could still fight with the Han army. They can't be completely defeated for the time being, but they should be able to barely maintain their invincibility, at least run away!Thousands of miles of desert and grassland, can't the Han army hide from such a large depth?
However, with the advent of winter, major changes occurred within Xianbei, and Tan Shihuai, who had been dragging his body from a long illness, finally died of illness at the age of 45.

The death of Tan Shihuai represented the end of a great era for Xianbei, and it also represented the beginning of Xianbei's turn from prosperity to decline.

In this way, Helian, who had been waiting by his father's bed for a long time to inherit the throne, succeeded Tan Shihuai as the leader of the three tribes of Xianbei.

But it's a pity that before Helian's butt was warmed up in Da Khan's position, the western Xianbei, which was the weakest under the control of the Danhanshan royal court, rebelled as a whole. They directly broke away from the three Xianbei tribes and went out completely independently.

And Lian Dang Khan?I bother!

I won't play with you anymore!
Later, Helian's eldest nephew Kuidou, with the secret promise and support of Liu Jian and Lu Zhi, openly became independent from the central Xianbei, and pulled up a team.

In the name of questioning Helian's lineage, they asked Helian to step down.

Their slogan is: He Lian is not Tan Shihuai's son!
In ancient times, whether it was the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei, or other regime forces, when there was no clear reason for rebellion, they would usually target the blood of the ruler and find out all kinds of rumors and rumors (you can make up one if there are no rumors) , questioned the lineage of the superiors, questioned their right of inheritance, and then carried out a rebellion that was "justifiable".

Anyway, there was no paternity test in ancient times, so I can say whatever I want, what can you do to me?
To put it bluntly, I just want you to prove that your mother is your mother and your father is your father. If you are capable, you can prove it to me right away?
Tan Shihuai is a wise and powerful person, but He Lian's brain has not inherited half of Tan Shihuai's. He can't prove that his father is his father, so Kuidou's rebellion succeeded.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Zuiyu from Xianbei in the east also expressed his independence, and famously said that he would be in charge of the three Xianbei departments, and by the way helped Helian find his mother and father, so all the Suli, Mohu and other departments including him rebelled against the latter. Khan Mountain Royal Court, Xianbei launched an unprecedented civil war.

At the same time, Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu also sent elite cavalry northward to help attack the Xianbei royal court under the express invitation and "money hire" of the imperial court.

This melee can be said to be the most chaotic and tragic one in Xianbei's history.

It can be summed up in four words: internal and external troubles.

And Liu Jian, who has been assisting Lu Zhi to separate the various ministries of Xianbei, can naturally get first-hand news, because he is mainly responsible for contacting the rebellious Kuidou and Ke Zuiyu and others.

After making a 'proper' arrangement, the Han army launched the final general attack on Xianbei!

This attack, no matter in terms of scale, deployment, or force used, was unprecedented. The fierce generals from Bingzhou and Youzhou gathered together, and Lu Zhi personally supervised the formation. This time, he came to Danhan with the determination to wipe out the entire central Xianbei. mountain.

The result of this battle can no longer be described in only four words: the great victory of the Han army.

If you have to use great victory to say it, it can only be said to be an 'unprecedented great victory'.

……

In Zhuoxian County, above the flag tower, a crowd of nobles from Zhuoxian County listened to the eloquent speech of the post envoy, and none of them interrupted him.

All the Haoyou listened intently, but what the postman said was so angry that his voice became hoarse.

He talked about Dong Zhuo from Lu Zhi, Xia Yu from Dong Zhuo, Tian Yan, and even Gongsun Zan...

This beheaded more than a hundred, that beheaded more than a thousand, which one had [-] beheads...

Liu Zhou's head grew dizzy.

While the postman was drinking water, he cautiously interrupted him: "Dare to ask, what did what you just said have anything to do with my family, Ah Jian?"

"Why not? Of course we did! This time, the achievements of Governor Dong and Captain Xia are not as great as your young master's. Your young master's achievements can be said to be world-class!"

"What do you mean?"

"Your young master beheaded the heads of Xianbei Great Khan Helian, obtained the unburied body of Tan Shihuai, and captured 35 nobles from the Xianbei royal court on Danhan Mountain. These people are all from the central Xianbei royal court. The aristocrats of the family used to be the cronies of Tan Shihuai's subordinates. For more than a hundred years, our great man has made such extraordinary achievements in Youbingbian County. Your family's young master is still the only one! Such achievements, so It's His Majesty who wants to be a Marquis, and I'm afraid it won't work... Congratulations, Mr. Liu, congratulations, Mr. Liu!"

Liu Zhou was a little silly when he heard this: "Ah? Beheaded, beheaded Xianbei Dahan? He, how did he do it?"

The postman smiled, shook his head and said: "I just got the news, as for what Shaolang Jun will do, then I don't know, after all, I am not on the front line of Danhan Mountain, am I?"
