The last three kingdoms

Chapter 653 Deng Ai's initiative to offer advice

When Yao Yikang, Deng Pu, and Fu Zhu led Qiangqi and Huqi battalions to approach Yumen Pass, Bald Tree Jigong neither chose to fight nor chose to defend, but abandoned the pass and fled in the direction of the Western Regions.

The Xianbei people withdrew very quickly, leaving no chance for the Shu army to besiege at all. When the Shu army arrived under the city of Yumen Pass, the function of the bald tree had already gone far away, and there was no soldier left in Yumen Pass. clean.

The Western Regions are vast and the environment is dangerous. Apart from deserts, there are countless deserts. Only on some small oases are some tribes and states inhabited. It is a barren land, and the living conditions are very difficult.Whether to continue chasing Yao Gekang had a dispute with Deng Pu and Fu Zhuo.Yao Yikang was eager for revenge, seeing the opportunity to kill the bald tree machine, but let him slip away, Yao Yikang was really unwilling, now the bald tree machine has only a few thousand remnants left, for Yao Yi For Kang, this is the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, and no matter how far he chases him, he must never let him go.

However, Deng Pu and Fu Zhu had different opinions. They believed that the bald tree can flee far away from the Western Regions. To solve the problem of food and supplies, if there is no sufficient logistical support and the army goes deep alone, the difficulty is unimaginable. The function of chasing bald trees is important, but it can only be implemented when logistical conditions permit.Yao Yikang's mood is understandable, but Liu Yin has to make up his mind whether to march into the Western Regions.

The two sides disagreed, so Yao Yikang could only stand still and send someone to report to Liu Yin quickly.

Knowing the news of the bald-haired tree's ability to escape, Liu Yin couldn't help sighing secretly. This time, the bald-haired tree's ability to escape to the Western Regions is indeed a failure. It may be a challenge to find out the bald-haired tree's mechanism from the vast Western Regions. A very difficult task.

Eliminate evil and clean things up, keeping the bald tree function is a disaster after all, Yao Yikang insisted on marching, obviously because of his hatred for the bald tree function, but this is also completely in line with Liu Yin's interests, Liu Yin He is also secretly considering whether to send troops into the Western Regions to pursue the remnants of the bald tree until they are completely wiped out.

However, considering the difficulty of logistical supplies, it is obviously impossible to maintain a high number of troops entering the Western Regions. Considering that the bald tree may seek refuge in a certain country in the Western Regions, the number of pursuers sent must be at least two times more than that of the Xianbei. three times.

Just when Liu Yin ordered to raise food, grass and supplies, Deng Ai suddenly came to see him.

For a long time, Deng Ai existed as Liu Yin's behind-the-scenes staff. In Liu Yin's impression, every time he asked Deng Ai for advice, it was Deng Ai who Liu Yin went to see. At least Deng Ai took the initiative to offer advice, never once. In the past, Deng Ai took the initiative to come to see him this time, which really made Liu Yin a little strange.

But it's strange, Liu Yin immediately waved back and met Deng Ai alone in the lobby.

"I don't know what gust of wind is blowing today, can it blow you, Mr. Ai Da?" Liu Yin smiled humorously.

Deng Ai was still calm and unfazed, and said calmly: "I heard that the lord is collecting food and grass in Dunhuang City, and it seems that he intends to send troops into the Western Regions to chase after the bald tree function?"

"That's exactly what I mean. I wonder what Mr. Ai's opinion is?"

"I think it's not suitable for the lord to march, as long as you stand still at Yumen Pass, someone will bring the bald tree's functional head."

When Liu Yin heard it, he said with great interest: "I would like to hear the details."

Deng Ai said calmly and honestly, "Didn't my lord hear that Guo Jia's last plan was to decide the affairs of Liaodong?"

Liu Yin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. He naturally knew the anecdote of the Three Kingdoms very well. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, it took him a few years to annex Jiqingyou and four states, Yuan Shao's two After their sons Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were defeated, they fled to Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, hoping to make a comeback with the help of Gongsun Kang.At that time, Guo Jia, Cao Cao's chief counselor, was seriously ill, and wrote a letter to Cao Cao before his death. If Er Yuan defected to Gongsun Kang, Cao Cao would not have to march, but just stand still and take Er Yuan's head.Cao Cao obeyed Guo Jia's will, and sure enough, Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and gave Cao Cao his head.

Guo Jia's clever strategy is to take advantage of the suspicion of Gongsun Kang and Eryuan. Gongsun Kang and Yuan are originally incompatible forces. However, if Cao Cao had no intention of marching, Gongsun Kang would naturally not be able to tolerate the second Yuan who was thinking about occupying the magpie's nest, so Guo Jia's dying strategy allowed Cao Cao to quell the last Yuan family's forces and unify the north without bloodshed.

It has to be said that Guo Jia, known as a ghost, was also the most dazzling star among the stars in the Three Kingdoms era. Even Cao Cao cried bitterly after Chibi, and it was not the tens of thousands of horses that were lost, but the I lament Guo Jia's untimely death. If Guo Jia can survive the Battle of Chibi, then Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu may have to play. called the first.

Deng Ai suddenly mentioned Guo Jia at this moment, which made Liu Yin's eyes light up, and he said as if he had realized something: "Mr. means..."

Deng Ai smiled slightly and said: "When the Xianbei people were strong, they repeatedly bullied the countries in the Western Regions. These countries have long resented the Xianbei people. This time, the bald tree machine was defeated in Hexi, and had nowhere to live, so it could only go to the Western Regions. The countries in the Western Regions such as Cheshi, Yuli, Weixu, Yanqi, and Qiuci are just small countries with no more than [-] people and no more than a thousand soldiers. Wusun is the only country that can be called a powerful country in China. If my expectations are not bad, the bald tree will definitely vote for Wusun. Wusun has been fighting for territory for a long time, fighting endlessly with the Huns and Xianbei, and the grievances between them are very deep. After the bald tree is able to defect to Wusun, it will inevitably be suspected by the Lord Wusun. If the Lord marches at this moment, Wusun and the Xianbei people will definitely let go of their hatred and unanimously speak out. If the Lord does not move, the two tigers will fight. Hurt, now the bald tree's function is lonely, and it is not easy to set off a storm in Wusun, so I assert that the function of the bald tree will definitely be defeated by Wusun, and the lord only needs to sit at Yumen Pass and not step into the Western Regions halfway. step, you can receive the head of the bald tree function."
