Wei Feng did not answer, but his eyes flickered, looking straight at the grassland to the north, not knowing what he was planning. Wang Daolian couldn't help but ask: "General, what are you thinking about?" "Hey~~" Wei Feng looked up to the sky and sighed: "These Hu people are like weeds. Wildfires can't burn them out. They grow again in the spring breeze. The grassland grassland in the past is like weeds." The overlord is the Xiongnu, but since the Warring States Period, after more than 700 years of war between Qin and Zhao, and even the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu today has basically gone away except for some scattered small tribes and Liu Bobo. However, the Xiongnu lost their position as the overlord of the grassland, and were taken advantage of by the Tuoba clan. Now the Tuoba clan is about to be destroyed, and the grassland overlord has been replaced by Rouran. I am sure that even if Rouran is destroyed, there will definitely be new ones. Race, the northern frontier residents are always in danger, when will this end! " Girl Chen couldn't help complaining: "Where are there so many Hu people in the world? Didn¡¯t they live a good life on the grassland? Why do you always have to go south? " Wei Feng waved his hand: "The grassland is tens of millions of miles wide. I'm afraid no one knows how many tribes there are. The competition between the tribes is fierce. The big tribes enslave and plunder the small tribes, and the small tribes never forget to strengthen themselves. , to replace the status of the big tribes. There is no order here, only "chiluo" naked plundering and killing. However, despite their constant internal fighting, as long as there is a natural disaster, they will unite and go south to invade. When the climate is warm and humid, the grasslands are rich in water and grass, and the Hu people will not easily go south. However, when the climate becomes dry and cold, cattle, sheep and other livestock will die in large numbers. Forced to make a living, the Hu people will have to go south to plunder, thus giving me the Central Plains. The people have brought endless disasters. " Wei Feng looked concerned about the country and the people. Cui Hao was in awe and bowed his hands: "The general's words are very subtle. In the future, after the world is unified, the Great Walls of the old Qin, Yan, Zhao, and Wei can be connected to resist the invasion of Hu cavalry. " Wei Feng shook his head and said: "The Great Wall is beautiful but not practical. Blind defense will always be broken through one day. The key is to be strong yourself. On the one hand, use force to attack, and on the other hand. Lure them with benefits, make them dismount, settle down, and gradually become naturalized! "Although Wei Feng didn't have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty, he still admired the way the Tatars dealt with the Mongols, so he added: "Sooner or later, there will be a battle between me and Rouran, after the war. I will not completely eliminate Rouran, because if Rouran goes away, other tribes will inevitably jump out, grow in a hidden corner and cause trouble again. This is impossible to prevent, no matter what. Opponents on the surface are always easier to deal with! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbout the Rouran Khan and his clan to become officials in the dynasty. Crossing the line is strictly prohibited, once the line is crossed. Immediately send troops to exterminate, and the court will send generals to manage them, and military power will belong to the generals. At the same time, we encourage the Hu people to build cities and settle down, vigorously develop commercial exchanges between the Central Plains and the grassland tribes, and try to ensure the basic living requirements of the grassland herdsmen so that they will not go south to plunder due to desperation. At the same time, Buddhism must be promoted on the grasslands. Those who believe in Buddhism enjoy a lofty status, and those who achieve great success are given the title of Dharma King. The Dharma King and his affiliated monks do not pay taxes or serve in the military, and are supported by herdsmen, creating a corrupt and industrious privileged class that can be seen by everyone on the grassland. to gradually replace the primitive and barbaric shamanism. " "Oh~~" Wang Daolian suddenly realized: "General, this is a desperate plan. It is better than thousands of troops. Buddhism is gentle and encourages people to do good. It does not engage in production. It does not engage in real work except chanting sutras and meditating. Over time, it can be washed away. The Hu tribe outside the Great Wall are brutal, and to believe in Buddhism one needs to become a monk and cannot have children. The more people believe in Buddhism, the smaller the population will be on the grasslands, which will eventually shrink to the point where they can no longer pose any threat to the Central Plains! "Not only Xu Daofu, but also Cui Hao admired him very much. Such a vicious plan is no longer something that anyone can think of. At least his thinking is still limited to building the Great Wall. Cui Hao immediately praised: "The general really has a clever plan. , with this good strategy, within a hundred years, the Hu people will no longer be in trouble! "Xu Daofu also followed suit and said: "Chan Master Huiyuan is highly respected and has superb Buddhist teachings. He is currently practicing in Donglin Temple in Lushan Mountain. If we can invite him to spread the Dharma beyond the Great Wall and overcome the brutality of the Hu tribe, it will be a great merit! " "It's too early to talk about this now. We have to eat one bite at a time and walk step by step. Let's defeat the Tuoba clan first! " Wei Feng showed some humility, then turned sideways to take Xiao Qingya from Julia's arms, gently scraped her nose, and said with a smile: "You little girl, you have been fighting with me since you were a child. When you grow up, , how about I personally teach you martial arts and become a female general in the future? " "Um! Qingya wants to be a female general! "The one-and-a-half-year-old girl responded vaguely and nodded heavily! The 120,000-strong army was large in number, carrying a large number of vehicles and even driving tens of thousands of sheep. Therefore, it was not moving very fast. It was about Traveling at a speed of seventy or eighty miles a day, by October 15th, we were far from Pingcheng.There is still fifty miles left. "General!" A personal guard Juechen came over and saluted hurriedly: "General Jiang's troops are running quickly, followed by 80,000 Wei cavalry chasing them. They will arrive in about an hour!" "Okay! It's better to come early than to come by chance!" Wei Feng shouted: "Send the order, the whole army lines up to fight!" Suddenly, the horns sounded, and the 120,000 troops quickly spread out, and the car formation was pushed to the front. A semi-arc formation was set up, followed by ballista carts and crossbowmen. There were 40,000 cavalry on each wing, protecting the food, grass and supplies! As soon as the formation was set up, the rumble of horse hooves came from the front, and even the earth was shaking violently. Thirty thousand cavalrymen fled, and eighty thousand cavalrymen pursued them. How huge was this momentum? When Jiang Xuan saw his own army, he immediately felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. He quickly sent orders to each team to gallop to both sides. They were still one to two miles away. Tuoba Si, who was driving the expedition in person, felt his heart sink for a moment. He could tell that this was not a deliberate ambush by the Jin people, but that they had been unlucky for eight lifetimes and happened to meet the main force of the Jin army! Not long before Wei Feng arrived, 20,000 men from the Helan tribe arrived in Pingcheng. After half a month of reorganization, Tuoba Si had 70,000 troops in his hands. He immediately led 60,000 troops out of the city to join the Helan tribe. Killed Jiang Xuan's 30,000 cavalry. Everyone in the city was gnashing their teeth in hatred for Jiang Xuan's 30,000 cavalry. They could not leave the city to graze, and could only sit and watch the cattle and sheep become thinner day by day. Tuoba Si also tried to send troops to fight with them, but the people he sent If there are too many, even if the numbers are equal, the Jin army will turn around and leave. The Jin army is a two-horse army, and the Wei people will not have the advantage in pursuit. If there are fewer people sent, Tuoba Si will not be able to trust them to leave the city. No one dares to leave the city now. Underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Jin army's cavalry. ???????????????????????????? There is a vast plain near Pingcheng, and there is no way to set up an ambush according to the terrain. The Jiang Propaganda Department is like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to Pingcheng. This time Tuoba Si plans to concentrate on the Helan Department and annihilate the Chiang Propaganda Department in one fell swoop! Jiang Xuan was usually stationed in the east of the city, with 30,000 cavalry spread out. The Wei scouts could not get through at all, and could not figure out the movements of the main force of the Jin army. However, Jiang Xuan always knew the whereabouts of Wei Feng, so he repeated his old trick and turned around and ran away. , let the main force annihilate Tuoba Si! Tuoba Si's face was extremely ugly, and Tuoba Qu also yelled: "What a damn unlucky thing. The main force of the Jin army has arrived at such a coincidence. Hey~~ If the Helan tribe had arrived one day earlier, why would it be like this? Passive!" As soon as these words came out, He Hu became unhappy and said coldly: "At a distance of more than a thousand miles, I, the Helan tribe, sleep in the open air and focus on saving the savior. You see, the soldiers are living in poverty. Before we finish, we will go to war with His Majesty. What do you think?" Tuoba Qu just complained. He knew that his behavior was unreasonable, so he smiled apologetically and said to Tuoba Si: "Your Majesty, The Jin army is tired from afar, so we might as well rush over with all our strength, maybe we can break it in one fell swoop." Tuoba Si showed a flash of struggle and shook his head firmly: "No, the Jin army has traveled hundreds of miles to come here! , But our army has also galloped for fifty miles, and it is already at the end of its strong crossbow. Moreover, the Jin army is in a tight formation and has more troops than us. It is unlikely that we will be able to gain any advantage if we rush over. " He Hu followed: "But at this time, we must not retreat. There will be chaos, the Jin army will cover up the enemy, and Pingcheng will definitely not be protected!" Tuoba Si was at a total disadvantage. Although there were tens of thousands of Yan soldiers in Wei Feng's army, it had been several months since he had taken Ji. It's almost time to run in, but the Wei army plus the Helan tribe's 90,000 troops didn't have enough time to run in. They could only barely march and form formations in half a month, and they would most likely be doomed if they encountered a strong enemy. "Hey~~" Tuoba Si sighed secretly. When Tuoba Gui was alive, no one dared to give him advice. He himself was addicted to the happiness brought by Hanshi Powder, sitting back and watching an army of 200,000 being wiped out. Nothing was done. If Pingcheng herdsmen and servants of powerful people had been recruited earlier, and Hedong troops were recruited for rescue, they would not be in such a difficult situation now. Tuoba Qu also sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it is better to find a way to return to the city and hold on until the troops stationed in Hedong come to help. Or we can attack from inside and outside to defeat the Jin army." "Hedong?" Tuoba Si murmured to himself There are about 100,000 troops in Hedong, mainly distributed in Puban, Taihang Mountain, adjacent to the Hebei side and Yanmen. Although an edict was issued to mobilize the Hedong army to Pingcheng, it would take two months at the earliest before Pingcheng was an isolated city. Can you hold on for two months? Tuoba Si called out somewhat dejectedly: "Send the order, the whole army is on standby!" "Woooooooo~~" The horns in the formation sounded continuously, and the Wei troops reined in their horses one after another. The scene seemed a bit chaotic. Zhang Ning couldn't help but said: "General, it seems that the Wei people have indeed run out of energy. This army is obviously piecemeal. If the general's army presses forward, they will be able to defeat it in one fell swoop!" Wei Feng nodded, and then Asked: "Jiang Xuan, you said that among the 80,000 troops on the opposite side, there are 20,000 troops from the Helan tribe. Is it true?" Jiang Xuan cupped his hands and said: "It's absolutely true!" Cui Hao seemed to have guessed Wei Feng's purpose, and added: "General, the chief of the Helan clan is named He Hu, and he replaced Tuoba as if he was in exile. Shiwu is guarding Anyang, and these 20,000 cavalry are probably the last strength of the Helan family." Wei Feng pointed forward: "Then, when the Wei people settle down, I will go meet He Hu!"
