Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 696 Bold Ideas

In December, news of success came again from northern Xinjiang. Lu Xun, Zang Ba, and Chen Dao defeated the Yuwen Department of Eastern Xianbei. , It is expected that the Eastern Xianbei will be fully conquered by March of the following year.

The war was similar to Lu Xun's original plan.Lu Xun promised the Yuwen Ministry to make peace, and built a city in Tongliao, which did not make Yuwen Mona take it lightly. While integrating the Duan Ministry, he kept sending out scouts to inquire about the movements of the Han army.And he learned from Duanbu's experience and lessons, and warned his ministries to gather in groups to strengthen defense and avoid being scattered and broken.

Two months later, at the beginning of July, when the horsemen reported back, Zang Ba, General Zang Ba of the Han Army who conquered Liao, led an army of [-] sneakily in the north, intending to go south.Yuwen Mona was very proud of being able to see through the tricks of the Han army, and designed a very clever encirclement.He first used the Duanbu people he had taken in to move northward as bait, and then planted [-] ambushes on the east, south, and west sides with Duanbu as the center of the circle.

However, Zang Ba's army began to march extremely fast, and began to linger about fifty miles away from Duanbu for about a month, which made it impossible for the Xianbei to fight or sit and wait.Just as Yu Wenmona was anxious and ready to attack, he came to report that Lu Xun had sent troops from Tongliao.

Yu Wenmona was ecstatic in his heart, the Han army finally dispatched, and the fish was about to take the bait.Unexpectedly, Lu Xun came more fiercely than Zang Ba, and stopped even faster than Zang Ba. After marching three hundred miles from Tongliao in two days, he set up camp and stagnated.

It was so weird that Yuwen Mo Na had doubts in his heart. Could it be that the Han army had some tricks? He thought hard about how the Han army would advance and what loopholes he had.After searching and searching, he suddenly found that Chifeng, the king's account, was the biggest weakness. He was shocked, and immediately transferred thousands of people back to Chifeng.

Before his reinforcements arrived, Han generals Chen Dao, Wang Ji, and Liang Guang led [-] troops to raid Chifeng to capture the king's account, and set up an ambush outside Chifeng to encircle and wipe out the rescuers.

It was originally planned that Chen Dao and Wang Ji would send [-] troops, but Chen Dao borrowed Liang Guang and [-] Qingqi from Zhang Jai in order to complete the surprise attack.After that, Chen Dao dug trenches and built fortifications in Chifeng for a long-term defense plan.

Yuwen Mona was terrified when he got the return from the defeated army. He immediately sent someone to ask for help from the Murong Ministry, and withdrew the 3 troops from the west and south routes in an attempt to recapture Chifeng.Chen made sufficient preparations for this trip, with 50 arrows alone, relying on trenches and barriers to shoot back countless Xianbei attacks.Half a month later, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Xianbei people, Liang Guang launched a night attack and beheaded nearly 3000 people.

After Chen Dao held on for a month, Yuwen Mona finally couldn't hold back and withdrew his troops to attack Chifeng.In October, Chen Dao defended Chifeng for two months, and went to the front line to organize the defense. His left arm was shot by a stray arrow and the blood stained his white robe, but he still did not retreat. times, why be afraid of Xianbei children".

The old soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Guandu still had fresh memories, the cracked earth battalion was destroyed, and the old man's barracks were wiped out.Therefore, under the exaggeration and drive of Chen Daohe's old soldiers, the Han army became more and more courageous as they fought.

As the weather was getting colder, Zang Ba and Lu Xun suddenly marched rapidly, desperately marching straight all the way to Chifeng.The king's account has been lost, the long-term attack is invincible, the Yuwen Department has no energy, and the morale of the army has begun to slacken. Under the attack of Zang Ba and Lu Xun, the Yuwen Department was defeated. Yuwen Mona led [-] remnants to join the Murong Department. Blocking the way, Liang Guang pursued him from behind, and Yuwen Mona died in the rebellion. At this time, more than half of Chen Dao's men were casualties, and Chen Dao was almost disabled due to the delay in treatment due to the arrow wound in his left arm.

After annihilating the main force of the Yuwen Department, Lu Xun turned around and started to pack up the stragglers. He ordered Liang Guang, Zang Ai, Pei Feng, and Boba to attack from all sides, and defeated most of Xianbei's troops a month later.

In November, Liang Guang returned to Bingzhou, and Chen Dao and Wang Ji returned to Youzhou to rest.Lu Xun ordered Zang Ai and the others to continue to wipe out the tribes. It was still the old custom to kill men who were higher than horseback and plunder cattle and horses.Zang Ba began to build a city in Chifeng.

In the battle against Eastern Xianbei, Lu Xun had less than [-] casualties in total. This was thanks to Chen Dao's surprise attack on Chifeng, and he used Chifeng as a bait to lure Yuwen Mona to attack, gathering the main forces of the Yuwen Department in one place, and consuming their vigor, so that Lu Xun could Successfully encircled and wiped them out, and Chen Dao also paid a heavy price for this, which can be described as the first achievement of this battle.In this battle, the four prefectures of Ping, Jian, You, and Bing fought together, and it was not a small scene.Of course, in addition to Lu Xun's strategy, Chen Dao took risks, the generals were brave, and more importantly, logistics supplies. Sufficient food, weapons, and arrows are the key to victory at a very low cost.

The annihilation of the Eastern Xianbei yielded a lot, with countless cattle and sheep. The wealth accumulated by Duanbu and Yuwenbu for nearly a hundred years was taken by the Han army.Chen Dao expressed his request to Lu Xun to trust Han Qian, the governor of Youzhou, and only took a small amount of gold and silver to pay for the casualties, and took more horses, cattle and sheep, and also sent the Han slaves plundered by the Eastern Xianbei to Youzhou.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang laughed: "Teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish. Han Qian has learned the essence of it. The looted Han people will not go to Youzhou, but stay in Chifeng to help build the city. To the east of Tongliao Returning to Pingzhou, a new county was established in the west of Tongliao and east of Xianbei, named Rehe, and the county was located in Chifeng, which belonged to Youzhou. Wang Ji became the prefect of Rehe." Zhou Cang sighed again: "It's a pity that Uncle Zhi's left arm is disabled , it is difficult to go to battle to kill the enemy again...Ling Shuzhi will be appointed as the head of the General Academy of the Martial Arts Academy, and his military position will be from the third rank."

One item was subtracted from Xu Shu's part-time job.Duanmuling wrote down one by one, and will form an official document to issue later.At the end of the report document, Lu Xun proposed a bold idea.

Lu Xun's plan is to give Yuwen Mona's head to Duan Qizhen who fled to Mobei, and release it to the rest of the Duan tribe, and make Duan Qizhen the Xianbei Shanyu.The Murong Department is currently in trouble both internally and externally. There are remnants of Budugen in the interior, and the Han army in the east and the Huns in the west. You can send people to the Murong Department to force the Murong Department to move to Mobei.When Murong's troops arrived in Mobei, they were bound to have another fight with Duan Qizhen, but the Han army temporarily ignored them, calmly accepted Murong's base, and attacked the Xiongnu with all their strength.If the plan is successful, the loss of the Han army will be the lowest, and it will speed up the progress of the war in northern Xinjiang. Perhaps in another year, Liu Bao will be defeated and Zhong Xianbei will be occupied.

The Privy Council discussed Lu Xun's plan enthusiastically.Xu Shu, Wu Gang, and Duanmu Ling all thought it was feasible, and Lu Xun had already given a good reason for it.According to Lu Xun's judgment, the Murong Ministry would most likely agree to move north in order to keep the tribal people.The Murong tribe was forced to leave, and the Murong tribe and the Duan tribe fought for hegemony in Mobei. The Han army freed up troops to deal with the Xiongnu, and the northern border could be settled.At that time, they can concentrate their forces to rule the world south, and finally clean up Mobei Xianbei.
