Chapter 336
"Newspaper—good news—"
A letter rider rode and galloped, rolled the saddle and dismounted.
"Your Majesty, General Meng Qi successfully intercepted the Xianbei army forty miles south of Danhan City. "
"Our army killed 20,000 enemies, killed 12 enemy Xiao Wang, and inflicted heavy losses on Kebineng. "
"Kebineng has led less than 20,000 defeated troops and fled to Danhan City. "
This good news made the generals of the Han army around them all in high spirits.
"Prime Minister Changsu, your calculation is right again, we really intercepted Kebineng again!"
Liu Bei's eyes were delighted and looked back at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan sighed: "It's a pity that we are still half a step slower and failed to intercept the Xianbei army with the main force, otherwise we can completely destroy the main force of Kebineng." "
"To be able to annihilate half of the enemy army is already a complete victory. "
"Doesn't Prime Minister Changsu often say that you can't be too greedy. "Seven, zero, zero" Liu Bei couldn't see regret on his face, but used what Xiao Yuan said to enlighten him.
Xiao Yuan was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, since Meng Qi has already inflicted heavy losses on Kebineng, why don't our army take advantage of the situation to take the city of Danhan and annihilate the Xianbei main force of Kebineng in one fell swoop." "
Liu Bei also had this intention, and looked at Xiao Yuan.
"Kebineng still has more than 20,000 remnants, and he can barely piece together 20,000 soldiers and horses by gathering the remnants of various departments. "
"With only 50,000 iron cavalry, our army wants to break through the 40,000 Xianbei army to defend Danhan City, which is a bit too arrogant. "
"The war has reached the current situation, the surprise attack has lost its opportunity, and the next step must be to use the infantry army. "
"The minister thinks that His Majesty should divide an army of 100,000 and continue to march north from Youzhou to oppress Budugen. "
"At the same time, when 100,000 infantry troops were dispatched to Danhan City, step by step, the Xianbei tribes in the west and central were all compressed to the front line of Danhan City, and they were gathered and annihilated. "
"After the Kebineng is extinguished, it is not too late to turn back and clean up the roots. "
Xiao Yuan was unhurried and offered the next strategy.
Liu Bei thought so, and even if he gave the order, the whole army stopped marching to the front line of Danhan City.
At the same time, he sent a messenger to Youzhou with a holy decree, and ordered Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and other generals to immediately lead 100,000 infantry troops to meet on the front line of Danhan City.
Thereupon.
100,000 Han infantry troops were diverted to Daijun and exited from Niubeiling.
100,000 infantry troops, along the way from the surrendered city to the city of Danhan, built dozens of barriers, as a transit place for grain and grass.
The barriers are connected by Yongdao to prevent the Xianbei people from attacking and ensuring the smoothness of the grain road.
At the same time, Liu Bei rode 150,000 steps, and he was approaching Danhan City step by step.
At the same time, light cavalry was dispatched to attack and harass the Xianbei grasslands within a radius of hundreds of miles from Danhan City.
The principle remains:
When you see people, you kill them, you rob cattle and sheep, and you burn tents when you see them.
In the blink of an eye, the Saibei grassland was full of flames and gunsmoke.
Dozens of Xianbei tribes were looted, tens of thousands of Xianbei people were killed and looted, and millions of cattle and sheep were robbed by the Han army.
The Xianbei people, scattered in the grasslands, had to migrate in large numbers, moving to the city of Danhan in all directions, in order to seek the protection of Kebineng.
Soon, within a radius of thirty miles from Danhan City, it was crowded with Xianbei people.
Three or four hundred thousand Xianbei people, seven or eight hundred thousand cattle and livestock, eating, drinking, and lazing on such a narrow grassland, the degree of crowding can be imagined.
Although the grassland near Danhan City has abundant water sources and fertile water and grass, it cannot support so many cattle and sheep.
In less than half a month, before the Han army attacked, the Xianbei tribes clashed and killed each other because of the competition for the increasingly scarce forage.
Conflicts between tribes over the grassland will naturally affect the morale of the Xianbei army.
Kebineng commanded 40,000 Xianbei troops, all from various tribes. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
When he learned that the tribe he belonged to and the tribe of his comrades were fighting for the grassland, the brothers who were supposed to live and die together immediately became angry enemies.
Kebi was able to use his prestige to barely suppress the soldiers, so that they did not dare to openly kill each other.
However, the hostility between the soldiers and soldiers is constantly fermenting and accumulating, and it may break out at any time.
In order to get out of the predicament, Kebineng decided to take a two-pronged approach at Sima Yi's suggestion.
The first is to send a believer, as a big Dan Yu, to order Bu Dugen to lead the eastern Xianbei and attack Youzhou with all his strength to force Liu Bei to retreat.
Budugen is not stupid.
After seeing Liu Bei's series of operations, Bu Dugen could see that what Liu Bei really wanted to clean up was not him, but Kebineng.
So Bu Dugen also imitated the original Kebineng, led the army back to Baitan City, decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and waited for Liu Bei to defeat Kebineng, and then he followed the fisherman to make a profit, and swallowed the eastern and central Xianbei 0....
Bu Dugen's view on the wall forced Ke Bineng to implement Sima Yi's second offer.
Divided several light cavalry to raid the Han army's grain road.
At this time, the fortress that Xiao Yuan asked Liu Bei to build in advance, as well as the Yongdao that stretched for hundreds of miles, began to play a role.
With the help of these fortifications, the Han army easily prevented the attack of the Xianbei cavalry and ensured the unimpeded passage of the grain route.
At the same time, Liu Bei sent a large number of light cavalry to launch the same attack and harass against the Xianbei people gathered near Danhan City.
Kebi could not cut off the Han army's grain route, but his own tribesmen were constantly burned and looted by the Han army, and the situation was worse and worse.
The two sides launched a months-long confrontation on the front line of Danhan Mountain.
Before I knew it, it was autumn.
The wind and rain in the Han region were in the autumn, and the states reaped a bumper harvest, and the grain and grass requisitioned were piled up in the granaries of various places.
Hundreds of thousands of grains and grass were continuously transported from various states to Dai County, and then from Dai County to the front line of Dan Khan City through Yongdao.
The soldiers of the Han army had plenty of food and grass.
Even the war horses of the Han army ate more luxuriously than the Xianbei soldiers.
The Xianbei people starved to death due to the lack of water and grass, and the war horses were also hungry to the bone.
Among the tribes, there are naturally complaints about the big single Yu of Kebineng.
Kebineng's 5.6 big single is in place, and it is already crumbling.
At the end of autumn, the city of Danhan was alone in the court.
Kebineng looked cloudy and asked everyone: "The situation has reached a moment of danger, I am in danger of destruction, if you have any plan to reverse the situation, don't hide your armpits, say it quickly." "
The leaders of all Xianbei and small were all hanging their heads, and there was nothing they could do.
There was a dead silence in the tent.
Looking at these waste subordinates, Kebineng had fire in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to attack.
That's when it happened.
Sima Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Da Danyu, for today's plan, if you want to turn things around, there is only one way." "
Kebineng perked up and hurriedly asked, "What's the way, Mr. Sima!"
Sima Yi took a deep breath and slowly said two words:
"Descend to Han!".
