The last three kingdoms

Chapter 809
When Liu Yuan arrived in Xuanshi County, the news from the front was still that the Shu army was attacking Gaodu.

The generals were very excited, and they all asked Liu Yuan for orders, willing to take a team to Gaodu to attack the Shu army first.

Liu Yuan was indifferent, he never expected to stop the Shu army under Gaodu City, Liu Yin was very sharp and cunning, never confronted the main force of the Xiongnu army, always avoided the truth, how could this time be an exception ?

So Liu Yuan didn't send anyone to take the first step at all, but led the army to Gaodu quickly.

As Liu Yuan expected, the Shu army only fought halfway in Gaodu. After hearing the news of the arrival of the Xiongnu's reinforcements, they resolutely gave up their attempt to conquer Gaodu and turned west to attack Yang'a.

Compared with Gaodu, Yang'a is not that important. After Liu Yuan arrived in Gaodu, he didn't bother to chase after him. Anyway, even after chasing Yang'a, the Shu army also ran away in the same way. He was exhausted, and finally got nothing, which is not very interesting. .

But Gaodu must not be lost. Gaodu not only has a garrison of [-] Huns, but also stores hundreds of thousands of hu to prepare for the supply of grain and grass on the front line in Hanoi. The army entering Hanoi was in a predicament without food.

So as soon as he heard the news that the Shu army was going south to attack Gaodu, Liu Yuan immediately mobilized the troops of the brigade, non-stop, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, traveled twice, and went south to reinforce Gaodu desperately.

Fortunately, he came very timely. The Shu army had just launched an attack on Gaodu. Hearing the news of the arrival of the reinforcements, he dropped hundreds of corpses, turned around and fled. Gaodu finally ensured that he was safe and sound. Liu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

The significance of keeping Gaodu is not only the grain and grass accumulated here, Gaodu is also a barrier for Shangdang to enter Hanoi. If Gaodu is captured by the Shu army, they can freely enter and leave Shangdang and Hanoi. If Liu Yin is seeking If you join hands with Yang Hu, the whole situation will become difficult to control.

Now it seems that it is a long-term and arduous task to eliminate the Shu army, and it cannot be completed overnight. Therefore, after Liu Yuan arrived in Gaodu, he was not in a hurry to pursue it. The most urgent task is to strengthen the Gaodu area. A strong defense, to plug all the loopholes that can be plugged.

To deal with the Shu army, we have to continue the "prison tactics" and adopt the mode of encircling first and then suppressing. Only in this way can it be possible to control the area of ​​activities of the Shu people within a certain range. If they are allowed to flee, the entire Shangdang may be destroyed To be turned upside down.

Now the Shu people are divided into three groups, so the corresponding Huns must also divide up three groups to encircle and suppress them. The longer the battle line is dragged, the more unfavorable the situation will be for the Huns.The high mountains of Shangdang made the Huns who had always been accustomed to the grasslands and deserts feel a deep sense of powerlessness. It would be more difficult than ascending to the sky to find out the sporadic Shu army in the depths of the mountains.

When Liu Yuan made this arrangement, none of the generals of the Xiongnu came out to object, they all obeyed the order, but one person under the tent was very annoyed, and said to Liu Yuan: "Isn't this action of your majesty increasing the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige? I think that Liu Yin is nothing more than mediocre, except for running away, he has no other skills, I wish to lead my troops to seek him, and decide to take Liu Yin's head and present it to the king."

Liu Yuan saw it as none other than Shi Bao, the chief of the Jie clan.After Liu Yin joined Shangdang, he slaughtered three cities: Nie County, Xiangyuan, and Guyuan. These three cities were all owned by the Jie people. After the Shu people captured the three cities, they adopted a policy of extermination. was slaughtered, not even a living creature was left,
The actions of the Shu people undoubtedly angered Shi Bao, the chieftain of the Jie people. You must know that in the eyes of the Jie people, the Han people are just livestock waiting to be slaughtered, but now they have been slaughtered by the Han people. Can swallow.

The Jie people responded to the call of the Huns and started an uprising in Shangdang. After Liu Yuan joined the Shangdang, Shi Bao attached himself to Liu Yuan. There is nothing to do in these places.

After Liu Yuan arrived at Shangdang this time, Shi Bao immediately summoned Jie soldiers from other counties, gathered more than ten thousand troops, and followed Liu Yuan to Gaodu, just to avenge his death.Unexpectedly, when he rushed to Gaodu, he didn't even see the face of the Shu people. Liu Yin had already fled away. According to Shi Bao's temper, he should chase after him vigorously now, even if he chases to the ends of the world, he will smash Liu Yin Tens of thousands of corpses are eaten.

Although it is said that Shi Bao only ate the meat of women under the age of 20 in his life, if he could really capture Liu Yin alive, Shi Bao must reluctantly eat a few mouthfuls, otherwise it would be difficult to dispel his hatred.

But Liu Yuan had no intention of chasing him at all. Instead, he set up defenses in Gaodu. Shi Bao had no choice but to take the initiative to ask Liu Yuan to lead his troops to pursue him.

Liu Yuan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Cui You secretly gave him a look, he understood, nodded and agreed to Shi Bao's request, and said, "Okay, since Marshal Shi insists on going, it's not easy for me to stop you." , then I wish Marshal Shi the best of luck and success in no time."

Shi Bao was very happy, and leaned over to thank him, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will reward you with Liu Yin's head."

Liu Yuandao: "Marshal Shi has a lot of talents and generals like a cloud, so I won't send any more troops. Liu Jing, you should send [-] hu of military rations to Marshal Shi as military resources."

Right Yulu King Liu Jing was in charge of the supplies of the Xiongnu's army. Hearing Liu Yuan's order, he was about to promise, but Shi Bao laughed and said, "I don't need to bother you about the army supplies. This time, I will go south. He has brought enough rations, Your Majesty, please don't worry." After saying that, Shi Bao bent down to salute, then turned and retreated.

Liu Jing snorted coldly after the stone leopard retreated, and said, "Have you brought enough rations? Didn't you bring countless two-legged sheep here and eat so much human flesh, don't you feel sick?"

Cui You smiled slightly and said: "The Shu people and the Jie people are in the same situation, and they can be used. These Jie people are unruly and difficult to tame, and they will be troubled for a long time. Now we can send them to fight the Shu people. No matter who loses, we can sit back and take advantage of them." Take advantage of it."

Liu Yuan also said with a smile: "Dr. Cui reminded me just now that these Jie people are not of my race, and they have ulterior motives. I have wanted to get rid of them for a long time. It's just that the general situation of the world is uncertain, and it is still worth employing people. They are afraid of being destroyed." Hu Youyi. This time Shibao took the initiative to fight, if it is true as he said, it would be the best if he could get Liu Yin's head, if Liu Yin kills Shibao, it will be considered an end to my concern."

Cui Youdao: "It's best if they fight and lose both, that's the greatest blessing for the king."

Liu Yuan laughed loudly: "Hahaha..."
