Wei Ni

Whether Kebi can be elected as Xianbei Shanyu depends on whether he can defeat Wei in this battle.

Therefore, he is bound to win this battle, no matter how heavy the price is, he will never turn back and do not hesitate.

This is why he quietly sent envoys to Mobei to summon the tribe.

He wants to increase the chances of winning this battle, laying down a blow to seal the victory.

Yes, everyone doesn’t know, he is confident that this battle will defeat the Luoyang Central Army of Wei State all day long, and he has repeatedly boosted the morale of the people, but the conclusion in his heart is completely opposite: if he only relies on the strength of Monan , not to mention defeating Wei, it is difficult to even lose both sides.

Not that he is pessimistic.

It's not that he's lost his ambition as he ages.

But in terms of morale, armaments, combat power, and the courage of soldiers to die in battle, he couldn't find a factor that could beat Wei.

Even the innate advantage of fighting in the territory was lost because Wei State had Tian Yu, who was familiar with frontier affairs, as a deputy.

In other words, his advantage is the large number of people~
However, if you think about it deeply, you will find that this advantage is actually a disadvantage.

Although Ke Bineng has never studied the art of war of the Han people, he also knows the truth that "soldiers are more expensive than fine ones."

If he wants to contend with the well-disciplined and well-arranged Luoyang Central Army, what he needs are tribal warriors who will die without hesitation, not mobs.On the contrary, let the mob go to fight fiercely with the Luoyang Central Army, and they will soon be defeated, and then run wild on the battlefield and flee for their lives in a hurry, which will lead to the defeat of the entire army.

But he also knew that he couldn't get enough tribal warriors—

Under the obvious gap between armor and fighting weapons, at least two tribal warriors can match a Luoyang army, and the Luoyang army has [-] soldiers.
Sixty thousand people who dared to die, where would he find them?

If so many warriors were willing to die for him, he would have been a veritable Xianbei Shanyu long ago!
Besides, two against one is still a very optimistic calculation result.

"Husband Hu has five soldiers and one Han soldier, what? The weapon is simple and blunt, and the bow and crossbow are not good. Now I heard that it is quite ingenious, but it is still three and one."

When fighting against the Xiongnu in the former Han Dynasty, relying on the advantage of ordnance, they were called the enemy of the Han Dynasty and the Sanhu.

Now that times have changed, Kebi can take in many Chinese artisans who escaped the war in the early years of the Central Plains, and greatly improved the technology of tribal iron smelting. However, due to the scarcity of iron mines and low mining efficiency outside the Great Wall, it is still impossible The armament gap between Jin and Wei.

In particular, compared to the little technological progress of his tribe, the improvement of Wei Guo's military attainments can be said to be changing with each passing day.

The two sides are fighting head-on, and the inference that "one Han should be three Hu" is still an objective fact.

Even with the gap between the disciplined array and the fighting spirit of the soldiers, it is not uncommon for the two sides to spell out the battle loss ratio of "one Han is five Hu".

Therefore, Ke Bi Neng's plan for this battle is to lose first and then win!
The defeat of the Mobei tribe was exchanged for the arrogance and laxity of the Wei Luoyang army, and then the Mobei tribe, as a surprise soldier, had the opportunity to seal the victory with one hammer!
Naturally, if he wanted to do this, he would have to pay a heavy price.

The first is the loss of the Monan tribe.

If he wanted Wei Jun to feel that his situation was over and to let go of his vigilance and come to pursue him, he had to do a fake show. At least [-] clansmen had to die in battle to seal the defeat and prove that he was not luring the enemy into the depths by fleeing in haste.

But he started his family in Monan, and the Monan tribe is his direct descendant.

Once the loss of the direct lineage is too much, these tribal leaders who were originally loyal to him will be separated, and they will feel that he cannot protect their own interests, so they will no longer be attached to him.

Unless, he can make up for the losses of these tribal leaders after the war, and it is still more than enough.

The bargaining chip he could think of was the members of the Budugen tribe.
Previously, Budugen and Xieguini were defeated by him, and there were more than [-] clansmen settled (huts) when they attached to Wei State; Due to the convenient relationship, the number of newborn children in the clan has increased sharply. If calculated according to the population, it is equivalent to [-].

If Kebi can distribute these clansmen equally to the chiefs of the direct tribes, of course they will no longer feel dissatisfied because of the large number of clansmen who died in battle.

Secondly, he wanted the Mobei tribe to work hard, and Kebineng also wanted to make sufficient profit commitments.

Although he conquered Mobei very early, his foundation is still in Monan, and the binding force on the Mobei tribe is not very strong. He wants these Mobei tribes who are willing to submit to him in name to migrate to Monan and fight for him , it is necessary to solve their livelihood.

Dividing the pasture is one aspect, and more importantly, giving cattle and sheep resources and other things so that they can take root in Monan smoothly.

And where did these cattle and sheep resources come from? Ke Bineng also set his sights on Bu Dugen
Therefore, he didn't care whether Budugen was centrifugal.

Anyway, in his eyes, Bu Dugen is destined to be reduced to fish.

What's more, he lured Bu Dugen to betray the state of Wei to go out of the fortress, and his original intention was to find an opportunity to kill Bu Dugen and annex his tribe, cattle and sheep assets~
As a descendant of Tan Shihuai's bloodline, Bu Dugen has impressive strength. How could Ke Bineng, who wanted to become Xianbei Shanyu, allow him to continue to live nourishingly!

Ke Bi Neng brought the military situation of Xianbei's various ministries to the south in a large scale, and was quickly found out by the Rangers of the Southern Huns and returned to report, which also made Qin Lang and Tian Yu immediately beat drums and gather for deployment.

In fact, there is nothing to deploy.

When Fuyi arrived at Youbeiping and fell into camp, the army followed the usual tactics against nomadic tribes, using carts to build a barrier to contain the cavalry attack, forming a circular formation with spears, knives and shields on the outside and strong crossbows on the inside, hiding in armor The cavalry is on standby in the center of the formation, and the chasing Qingqi is on guard for the left and right wings.

In this kind of offensive and defensive formation, all the generals and generals only need to perform their duties, which is the best deployment.

Moreover, according to the style of nomadic tribes, Kebi was able to lead the army south, but it does not mean that he will fight the Wei army here.

It is very likely that they just came to confront Wei Jun.

The intention is to keep the Wei army trapped here, subject to the increasing depletion of food and fodder, and then have to give up the advantage of the chariot formation to chase and fight with them, or to strike back on their own.

Therefore, the biggest reason why Qin Lang and Tian Yu gathered their generals to deploy was to allow the generals at all levels to lead good lives and appease the soldiers, and not to be anxious or impetuous.Another thing that needs to be reminded is that the generals commanding the front line must save crossbow arrows.

Xianbei, who ruled the prairie after the Huns, also learned from the Han-Hungarian War against the Central Plains Dynasty’s tactics of enclosing the powerful crossbows with chariot formations.They knew that when fighting outside the Great Wall, the Central Plains Dynasty's chariot formation would be defeated as long as the crossbow arrows were exhausted, which meant that they could use their best wolf pack hunting tactics.

Therefore, whenever they encounter a car formation, they will not rush to attack.

Instead, they repeatedly used tentative attacks to consume the crossbow arrows in the vehicle formation.

Therefore, under the prudence of "thinking about defeat before winning", Qin Lang and Tian Yu also emphasized that the sufficiency of crossbow arrows is the key to this victory, and told the generals not to be harassed by the tactics of the Xianbei Hulu succeed.

In other words, such a common-sense question does not seem to require special instructions.

But in fact it is necessary.

The reason is that the Luoyang Central Army is the most elite soldier in the Wei State, and its combat power is unquestionable, but its spirit is also very high!
They don't take the mere barbarians seriously.

It was also disturbed by the huge mosquito swarm that could not be dispelled even by lighting the wormwood after nightfall. Everyone was anxiously looking forward to the end of the war as soon as possible, so that they could leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Of course, Xia Houhui quickly forgot these instructions.

Without military power, he doesn't need to worry about such scheduling issues at all.

Moreover, he, who has always been cheeky, has become very familiar with the county soldiers of Bingzhou these days, and has already known the usual tactics of nomadic tribes through chatting and shameless asking.

However, at this time, he was very puzzled.

When many generals of the Chinese army led their orders to leave, and only Qin Lang, Tian Yu, and Cao Shuang were left in the tent of the Chinese army, he handed over his hands to Tian Yu and asked for advice, "Prefect, I have something I can't understand, please teach me. .It’s that thief Ke Bineng, why did he go south so fast this time?”

yes~
Based on the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves, Ke Bineng should not go south!
The Luoyang Central Army of the State of Wei, who came from afar, would seek a quick battle and a quick decision out of considerations such as food supplies, soldiers' morale, etc.As for Ke Bineng, one point will be added to the decisive victory one day later. He should wait for the Wei army to come and persecute him; After the cavalry went out, they went south to trap the infantry of the Wei army with the superiority of their forces, hoping to encircle them for reinforcements!
Why did he go south from Pingcheng in such a hurry?
Such behavior is completely useless!
However, before Tian Yu could answer, Cao Shuang spoke directly, "You mere Hulu, what military strategy is there to speak of! When our army from the State of Wei came to attack, the Hulu people were all panicked, and that thief Kebi must have been afraid for a long time. There will be changes, so why should we rush to the south to fight, why should we bother mediocrity!"

There was deep disdain in his expression and tone, I don't know if it was towards the Xianbei tribe or towards Xia Houhui.

Not surprisingly, it should be both.

After hearing this, Xia Houhui didn't refute, but turned his head to look outside the military tent.

Because I don't want the contempt in my eyes to be seen by others, and I also feel that Huan Fan's emotion in the history "Cao Zidan, a beautiful woman, gave birth to your brother, calf ears" is too accurate!

Seeing this scene, Qin Lang couldn't help feeling a headache.

He knew that Cao Shuang was using the topic to deliberately humiliate Xia Houhui.

But he was not good at persuading.

Involved in this kind of disputes about people and things, the result is often that people are not people inside and outside.

So he turned his head slightly and raised his eyebrows at Tian Yu.

Instructing him to answer Xia Houhui's doubts, he followed the conversation and ended the military discussion.

For this, Tian Yu understood.

As a side general, he doesn't even want to get involved in the dirty affairs of the clan and Qiao Pei Yuanxun's children.

"It is indeed a bit strange."

I saw him laughing and yelling, and using two innocuous words to explain the confusion, "However, since he has come, it is a good thing for our army after all. And even if he has tricks, with the strength of our soldiers, he can tolerate it." Don't allow him to succeed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Qin Lang, said goodbye, and left, "General, the Hulu is coming, and I will patrol the camp."

It was also in Qin Lang's arms, and he smiled and cupped his hands to answer, "The prefect is commendable for his diligence. Well, the prefect will go first, and I will go to supervise the soldiers after a while."

The main and deputy generals both announced that they were going to patrol the camp, so Xia Houhui and Cao Shuang naturally said goodbye and left.

After leaving the military tent, Xia Houhui, who was still puzzled in his heart, stopped to think for a while, and then went to the camp where the soldiers of Bingzhou County were.

He knew that Tian Yu would definitely go there to inspect later.

However, Cao Shuang, who was born in a noble family, had never intersected with the soldiers of Bingzhou County since he came to Bingzhou.

It also happened to let him ask Tian Yu for advice in private.

However, he had only walked more than twenty steps, and Qin Lang's retinue caught up with him to salute and said, "General Xiahou, please wait for a while, my general has something to ask, and he will be here soon."

That's all for the military discussion, what else does Qin Lang need to ask me?

Could it be that he wants to be my peacemaker with Cao Shuang?

Hearing this, Xia Houhui felt a little strange, but stopped and nodded, "Okay." (End of this chapter)
