Disclosing the details of one's own side to the enemy is a crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Therefore, as soon as Xia Houhui's words fell, Qin Lang regretted his decision to bring him to the Yin Hall.

It's not that Xia Houhui is criticizing Tian Yu, or that everyone knows that even if the sun rises from the west, Tian Yu will not make peace with Xianbei.

Instead, I feel that Xia Houhui is too ignorant of the world.

Knowing that Tian Yu's contribution is directly related to the outcome of this battle, why can't he speak softly?

Just ask the thief Ke Bineng if he knows the details of our army!

Why use such extremely misleading words!
Yanzhao's temperament is the most generous and tragic, so Xia Houhui is not worried that Tian Yu feels that he has been slandered, so he draws his sword and scolds him in anger, and breaks up unhappy?
So while Qin Lang was annoyed, he hurriedly planned to explain a few words, but was preempted by Tian Yu.

“How come you see?”

I saw a strange light in Tian Yu's eyes, and asked with a faint smile, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?"

He paused suddenly after speaking halfway, as if he remembered something, the corner of his mouth smiled even more surprised and said, "Could it be that the current is Xia Hou Zhiquan?"

uh~
He is not angry
Secretly said, Qin Lang quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I also suddenly remembered that Yanzhao man not only has a strong temperament, but also advocates straightforwardness and magnanimity.

"It's just down here."

Hearing the question, Xia Houhui straightened up and answered with cupped hands, "I don't want to be as mediocre as I am, but I am very lucky to be famous in the ears of General Tian."

"Hahaha~ Childish and humble."

Tian Yu laughed a few times, and bowed his hands back, thanking him very sincerely, "Qian Zijing has passed away, so I would have the audacity to thank him on his behalf, if it weren't for the childish power to speak to the emperor, there may be no way to manage and merge the state The day of implementation. Well, let me tell you, why do you say that I leaked the details of our army to the thief Ke Bi Nengxie?"

"Because I know that the general is from Youzhou, and he is quicker to get rid of the thief Ke than he can."

With selfishness, Xia Houhui said this first, and then explained the reason in detail, "I have never traveled to Bingzhou, so before I joined the army this time, I found others to know about the thief Ke Bineng; In the early years, the territory was in the north of Dai County and Shanggu County, and now it is in Pingcheng. Therefore, the general revealed the details of our army to him, but he wanted the other party to use our army to be strong, so he called all the troops under his command to gather to fight. .”

"Hey, I know!"

Before Tian Yu on the opposite side could answer, Qin Lang on the side suddenly looked dazed, and praised Tian Yu, "Things can go smoothly, the first credit is the general's doing my part!"

He is not unwise.

After a little dialing from Xia Houhui, I knew why Tian Yu deliberately disclosed the details of his army to Ke Bineng, and why he temporarily abandoned Pingcheng and went to Beiping Town of Daijun when he suggested that he lead his troops northward.

There are three reasons.

First, the main purpose of this battle is to promote the country's prestige and deter disobedience.

However, the Hulu tribes outside the Great Wall had always moved by water and grass, and lived in no fixed place. Wei Guo did not have enough time and national strength to defeat them one by one.And Tian Yu deliberately revealed the details of his own army in order to let Kebi take the initiative to gather these tribes, so that they can all witness Wei's military power with their own eyes, so as to achieve the purpose of deterrence.

And don't worry, Kebi can't take the initiative to "cooperate".

When Tian Yu passed on Xiyou and the Hulu tribe in the north of the two prefectures, the Wei State sent [-] Luoyang Chinese troops to fight against Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, to warn them not to make mistakes and not to be buried with Ke Bineng. , Ke Bineng had to call all the tribes under his command.

Because he has seen the combat power of the Luoyang Chinese Army.

In the early years, when Cao Zhang made the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, Daijun, he led his troops to watch the battle in the name of helping each other, in an attempt to gain the fisherman's benefit.It's just that Cao Zhang defeated Daijun Wuhuan with a force of destruction, and completely dispelled his coveting thoughts.

Now, Wei Guozhong's army has returned to the north with a full [-] paces. He can't resist with only his direct lineage and Budugen's clan.Therefore, in order to have the power to fight, and to boost the morale and courage of the people under his command, he will inevitably call all the tribes that depend on him.

Second, it is for the greater chance of victory.

Tian Yu, who has been in the border county for a long time, knows that the biggest disadvantage of nomadic tribes is that they have not completed the centralization of power.

Every tribal leader is like a lord, with absolute authority over the tribe. Not to mention the fact that Kebi, the Xianbei Shanyu, can interfere, and even the former Tanshihuai can't do it for him.

A loose alliance also means that the hearts of the people are not in harmony.

They have their own selfishness, whether it is in the aspect of preserving their strength and shirking each other's responsibilities, or in the aspect of the distribution of supplies and fodder, it is inevitable that they will cause disputes.

In a short period of time, Kebi was able to suppress all voices with his personal prestige.

But once it's been a long time, it will become powerless.

Just in time, according to the style of the Hulu tribe, isn't it necessary to avoid the battle first and wear down the spirit of the Wei army?
The longer the decisive battle dragged on, the more unbearable their fighting spirit became.

Therefore, it seems that Kebi's ability to summon many tribes to gather troops seems to have strengthened, but in the long run, it is weakened by internal constraints.

In the end, it was the reason why Tian Yu suggested that Qin Lang's governor should go to Dai County.

Ke Bineng's earliest territory was in the north of Dai County and Shanggu County, and his most loyal subordinates were the tribes in these two places.

And if the Wei army led troops to station in Daijun, and sent out elite cavalry to completely sweep the tribal pastures in these two places with fire and blood, it would be impossible for Kebi not to take the initiative to come to a decisive battle.

Anyway, Kebi can hope to become Xianbei Shanyu.

And how could a tribal leader who couldn't even defend his own foundational territory be elected as Shan Yu?
What's more, he gathered all the descendants of the tribes to Pingcheng. After hearing that the women, children and pastures of his tribe were pointed out by Wei Jun's soldiers, how could he not ask him to lead his troops to rescue them-the best rescue is The whole army pressed against the Wei army's camp for a decisive battle, forcing those Wei cavalry who had gone out to return.

In other words, when the Wei army attacked the tribes in Dai and Shanggu counties, Kebi could let them migrate to escape the flames of war~
Why passively seek a decisive battle?
But when you think about it in practice, you know that this approach will not work.

Because in the early years when Tian Yu served as the captain of Huwuhuan in Youzhou, he was stationed in Changping, which was only separated from Shanggu County by Juyongguan!

With his familiarity with the terrain outside the Great Wall and his prestige of being awed by the Xianbei tribes in the east, no matter where Kebi can hide these helpless women and children, they will be found by Tian Yu - succumb to his despotic power, and be annexed by him. How long does it take for the Xianbei tribes in the east to provide Tian Yu with information?
Unless, Kebi can move these women and children to the Hetao Plain or Mobei.

But the law of the jungle has always been prey on the grassland, and it is common to annex each other.

These women and children stayed in Dai County and Shanggu County, and no tribe dared to risk Ke Bineng's wrath to invade them.

But what if they leave the territory~
That is the sheep entering the tiger's mouth!
After all, the racial customs and living rules that have been passed down for many years cannot be changed by a Kebineng.

Therefore, as long as the Wei army enters the Dai County of Youzhou and makes plans to attack the pastures of Ke Bineng's direct tribe and harass women and children, the decisive battle between the two sides will come as scheduled.

This is one of the reasons why Tian Yu is known as a good frontier general.

Just taking the initiative to disclose a piece of information to Ke Bineng, he solved the problem of Wei Jun seeking a quick solution with ease.

It is precisely because of this that before the start of the war, Qin Lang claimed that the first contribution was none other than Tian Yu; and both inside and outside said that he would act according to Tian Yu's suggestion.

Naturally, Xia Houhui, who was interrupted, couldn't continue explaining.

It's unnecessary, isn't it?

Tian Yu's question was just to use Xia Houhui's mouth to pierce the window paper for Qin Lang.

Therefore, Xia Houhui also felt a little regretful.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to test whether Tian Yu would take advantage of this battle to kill the thief Ke Bi Neng!

Being interrupted by Qin Lang, he couldn't announce it.

Could it be that he had anticipated my thoughts, so he interrupted me on purpose?
But judging from his actions in the past, he should not have such a city~
Is it a mistake?
Or was he hiding his clumsiness all along?
Xia Houhui, who followed the trend, nodded his head with a smile on his face, but he was so suspicious in his heart.

Tian Yu, who was sitting opposite, also had a trace of regret in his heart.

When Xia Houhui's opening sentence "Gain, I know the general is from Youzhou" landed on the ground, he had something to look forward to~
Yes.

Xia Houhui's prediction was correct.

Tian Yu really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Luoyang Central Army coming to Bingzhou, and he succeeded in one battle!

The Xianbei trouble in northern Xinjiang was completely eliminated!

Needless to say the reason.

If the battle goes well, the Wei army defeats Ke Bineng as he wished, and if he really escapes and kills Hukou and flees to Yunzhong County, it will be difficult to punish the western Xianbei tribes who were recruited and inspired by kindness and righteousness to ambush them in advance killed.

These Western Xianbei tribes only surrendered to Wei State in name.

It is impossible to take the lives of the people as the price, and kill Ke Bineng for Wei Guo without hesitation.

Perhaps, they were just a symbolic attack, beheading some single people, and then ran back to give Tian Yu a job with the reason of "the thief is too difficult to get all the work"!

Therefore, Tian Yu felt that a cavalry unit belonging to the Luoyang Central Army must be placed in the ambush to kill Hukou.

Correct!
It must be Luoyang Zhongjun.

At his disposal, the [-] southern Xiongnu cavalry confiscated by the imperial court, and the [-] Wuhuan Tuqi that had just arrived in Yanmen County would not be able to accomplish anything.

The Rangers of the Southern Xiongnu only performed their duties as vassals, and would not fight to the death; while the Wuhuan Tuqi formed an army for too short a time, lacking the time to adapt and cooperate with each other, and could not exert much combat power in front of the battle.

Only the cavalry belonging to the Luoyang Central Army can make a breakthrough and make great achievements in the first battle!
Moreover, Qianzhao has died.

He spent most of his life in Bianjun, but now he is in his sixtieth year.

If you don't seize the good opportunity of Luoyang's central army coming north, kill the thief Ke Bineng, solve the troubles of Xianbei, and let the elders of Sangzi have a stable life without Hulu burning, killing and looting for more than ten years, or even decades, I am afraid that he will have no chance in this life, only to die in regret.

"It's too early to say meritorious service yet."

After waving his hand, Tian Yu suppressed his thoughts, and said to Qin Lang with a gurgling smile, "Since the general has used my words, he wishes to supervise the troops to go to Daijun, then I will talk about the situation on the way north and the conditions for the camp at sunset. Choose, so that the general can refer to it."

After saying that, without waiting for Qin Lang to answer, he got up and walked to the side of the main table, took out a huge roll of cowhide map and spread it on the ground, untied the saber on his waist and tapped the map.

"Take a look, two generals. This is the map of Yanmen, Dai County, and Shanggu County. I personally supervised the craftsmen to draw it. The mountains and rivers on the map are not the same."

"Here, Yin Pavilion, is where we are now."

"This is Beiping Township, Dai Commandery. The general and I lead our troops northward. It will take about two days and nights to march. Here, and here, these two places are the camps I suggested. The terrain is open and close to the water source, so there is no need to worry about being attacked at night. "

"After arriving in Beiping, our army can stay in camp for three days, and wait for the movement of the thief Ke Bineng. If he drives troops, we will send troops to fight; if he does not come, we will divide our troops and return to the east with infantry. Daoren County fell into camp, and the cavalry turned into a group of thousands of people, going north to Gaoliu and Macheng, east to Sangqian and other places to attack the Hulu pastures."

"Well, general, don't worry about not being familiar with the terrain or being besieged by the thief Ke Bineng. Many of my tribes are from the Xianbei tribe in the east. They are familiar with the terrain. They can guide the cavalry and lead the way back to Juyongguan after the attack is successful. "

The eloquent Tian Yu almost explained all the scheduling of the war.

As the chief general, Qin Lang was not ashamed by the instigation, but kept nodding his head, and from time to time responded with words of "good" or "what General Tian said"; occasionally he would interrupt, please ask Tian Yu Explain to him what is unclear.

It can be seen that he is not a man of power and can condescend to listen to others.

Perhaps, this is the biggest reason why Emperor Cao Rui was appointed as the main general among many candidates.

Xia Houhui was also listening attentively.

He didn't make a sound, and didn't care about thinking, but tried his best to write down Tian Yu's words.

Because he planned to find a time to ask Tian Yu for advice in private.

From Tian Yu's behavior of thanking the deceased just now, it can be known that he has a good impression of himself; if he asks for advice with an open mind, he will certainly be willing to explain a thing or two.

Just right, you can continue the temptation that you didn't say just now-does General Tian intend to kill the thief Kebi?

The discussion in the account lasted for an hour and a half.

After Qin Lang had a thorough understanding of Tian Yu's plan and the two of them had roughly reached a preliminary conclusion, the three of them walked out of the military tent, and the sun was already westward and it was almost evening.

If Qin Lang gallops back at this time, he can return to Yanmen Pass before nightfall.

However, he had no such plan.

And after learning that Tian Yu had prepared a camp for the [-] Luoyang Chinese Army in advance, he also sent a few followers back, and asked Cao Shuang, who had come out to supervise the army this time, to lead troops to station in the future.

He planned to stay in the Yin Mansion directly.

Xia Houhui was quite happy about this.

It just happened to give him a chance to ask Tian Yu for advice in private, didn't he?
Besides, before Cao Shuang brought his troops over, Qin Lang didn't need to worry about him getting into trouble, and he wouldn't keep him by his side all the time~
However, after nightfall, before he had time to look for Tian Yu, he received a visit from a general. (end of this chapter)
