Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 206 Follow the example

Previously, Huan Wen adopted Wang Meng's strategy of driving a wedge between Murong Ke, Zhou Cheng, and Lu Hu, winning the neutrality of Zhou Cheng and Lu Hu, and creating an opportunity to fight Murong Ke.

However, after missing a hit, Huan Wen finally recognized the reality and no longer had the idea of ​​defeating Murong Ke head-on. He chose to seek stability and regained Wang Meng's best strategy, which was the dragging technique.

Of course, in the Battle of Hongchi, the Yan army took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield when the attack was unfavorable.

Therefore, it is understandable that the generals of the Chu-Liang coalition celebrated today's victory.

The next day, the Yan army went out to challenge again, but the Chu and Liang coalition forces just stayed in their respective camps and ignored them.

Looking at the two camps forming a horn in front of him, Murong Ke knew that Huan Wen would never give him another chance to fight head-on. He could only hope that Fu Jian could play his role.

Daiguo, Shengle.

Fu Jing has been besieging Shengle for several days. Tuoba Shijun has been looking forward to the troops coming to Qinwang. However, the first to arrive outside Shengle City was the 30,000 soldiers led by Fu Jian.

Of course, for Tuoba Shijun, the biggest crisis at the moment is the instability of the people in the city.

Even Tuoba Jin, the biggest hero of the coup, has fled.

On the night when Fu Jing's troops approached the city and Tuoba Shijun refused to leave the city to fight, Tuoba Jin had already led his own cavalry to break through from Shengle and return to his northern territory.

In fact, even though Tuoba Shijun had occupied Shengle and became the acting king, his father-killing to seize power made it difficult even for the Xianbei people to recognize his status as acting king.

There are six major tribes in Dai Kingdom, as well as many small and medium-sized tribes.

The six major tribes are Tuoba tribe, Wuluhui tribe, Bai tribe, Wuwan tribe, Helan tribe and Dugu tribe.

Tuoba Shijun asked for help, and the only ones who finally responded were Dugu and Bai.

The remaining ministries were having internal debates over whether to send troops. Some advocated rescuing Sheng Le, while others advocated retrieving Murong Ying, Tuoba Shi, Tuoba Han's mother and son, so they could not agree on it for a long time.

After all, in the main hall, many tribal leaders had heard Tuoba Shiyiqian's last words with their own ears, that the throne should be passed on to the eldest son Tuoba Shi, rather than to Tuoba Shijun, the eldest son without a king or father.

After Liu Kuren returned to the Dugu tribe, he learned that Shengle was besieged. Even though he was dissatisfied with Tuoba Shijun's father-killing, in order to repay the grace of survival, he quickly found Bai, who was also east of Shengle. Department, persuaded the leader of the White Department to go to the rescue with him.

Hu Sansheng, a historian in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, annotated the records about the Baibe in Zizhi Tongjian: In the Later Han Dynasty, those who lived in the Baishan Mountains in Xianbei were called the Baibe.

Of course, there is also a saying in later generations that Baibu and Murongbu belong to the white race and are named after their white skin.

Baishan, also known as Baimiaoer Mountain, is located outside the Shanggu Fortress, more than 600 miles away from Shengle.

The Dugu Division is also hundreds of miles away. Even if the Second Division responds to the call and sends troops to serve the king, it is naturally impossible to reach Shengle before Fu Jian.

However, Fu Jian also knew that most of the tribes in Dai State were still hesitant, but if he could not defeat Shengle for a long time, sooner or later more and more tribes would march towards Shengle and come to King Qin.

Therefore, after Fu Jian took a short rest, he arrived at Shengle City the next day and went to the front line to supervise the battle and command the soldiers to siege the city.

The Yu army attacked the city for four days, but the defenders still held on tenaciously.

When a messenger sent by Liu Kuren entered the city under cover of night to inform them of the imminent arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the defenders was boosted.

The matter was soon known to Fu Jian. He once sent people to make friends with the nobles of the Dai Kingdom with heavy profits and persuaded them to prevent the Dai Kingdom from rescuing the Tiefu Xiongnu. Now, there are naturally internal agents in Shengle City. Although they cannot open the city gate for him, Still sending messages secretly.

In the commander's tent, Fu Jing, the king of Pingchang County, suggested: "Your Majesty, I think it will be difficult to attack Sheng Le for a long time. It is better to encircle a point for reinforcements and divide our troops to ambush Liu Kuren. If we can defeat his reinforcements, the people in the city will be in chaos, and we may attack without a fight." city."

Fu Jian nodded when he heard this.

However, before Fu Jian could agree, Minister Xue Zan reminded:

"Your Majesty, our army was in a hurry to attack the city before. If we postpone the offensive now and divide our troops for an ambush, Mr. Tuoba Shi will see that there are fewer soldiers besieging the city. He must know that our army intends to reinforce him, and he will definitely send someone to remind him. I am afraid of an ambush. The policy is unlikely to be effective."

Fu Jian knew that what Xue Zan said was true, but Fu Jing's suggestion was not unreasonable. He could not ignore Liu Kuren's reinforcements and continue to besiege Shengle City.

Once the city cannot be captured, it will be attacked from both inside and outside by the defenders and reinforcements in the city.

Just when Fu Jian was hesitant, the seventeen-year-old King of East China Sea and General Longxiang Fu Jian suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, and I dare to present it to you."

Fu Jian knew that his nephew had been extraordinary since he was a child, so he hurriedly said:

"Just keep telling me."

Fu Jian did not offer any advice directly, but instead asked everyone:

"Do you know that grass and trees are all soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Yu in the corner, with a hint of teasing in their eyes.

Zhang Yu recalled some unpleasant past events, his face turned blue and white.

When Huan Xi attacked Luoyang, he covered the military uniforms with grass and trees outside the city. Zhang Yu was so frightened that he did not dare to fight. He could only watch Huan Xi move all the people around Luoyang away.

Of course Fu Jian had also heard about Zhang Yu's experience. Although he hated Huan Xi, he had to admit that if he wanted to solve the current predicament, he had to follow Huan Xi's old plan.

The monarchs and ministers of the Dai Kingdom knew that grass and trees were all soldiers because most of them participated in the battle to rescue Zhang Yu and knew the causes and consequences.

And Tuoba Shijun was far away in Shengle, so how could he possibly know how Zhang Yu was manipulated by Huan Xi? Maybe he didn't even know who Zhang Yu was.

The next day, Fu Jian detached 15,000 elite cavalry, commanded by Fu Jing, to set up an ambush where Liu Kuren must pass for reinforcements.

The infantry continued to attack the city, while the remaining five thousand cavalry followed Huan Xi's original approach, with one man and three horses, standing on the backs of the walking horses with grass and trees, and wearing military uniforms.

Previously, Fu Jing was able to lead 20,000 fine cavalry to attack 500 miles in two days. Naturally, there were a large number of walking horses accompanying the army.

Fu Jian personally led this special cavalry to press the formation in the distance, so that Lord Tuoba Shi could not only see the dark cavalry outside the city, but also couldn't tell whether the people sitting on the horses were people or vegetation.

Sure enough, Tuoba Shijun was not suspicious, thinking that Fu Jian's main force was still under Shengle City, with the main cavalry suppressing the formation, so Tuoba Shijun did not dare to send troops to attack.

Seeing that the city was crumbling, Tuoba Shijun had no choice but to send people to break out at night and urge Liu Kuren to march quickly.

The messenger passed the ambush site of Yu State and rode past without noticing.

　The temperature here in Yiyang, Hunan is cooling down. I have a bit of a fever. I took cold medicine and felt sleepy. I am feeling sick again today. I am really sorry. I will send red envelopes to everyone in the group next month. I am sorry.
