Bai Hu calmed down, took a sip of water, and spoke in a slightly calmer tone: "After Fu Deng raised his army, he joined forces with Yang Ding, a fierce general who fled back to Qiuchi. He first made Fu Pi the emperor, and then accepted Fu Pi's title and became the governor. The military officers of Longyou, Duke Lueyang, fought a series of bloody battles with Yao Chang and his brother Yao Shuode. After each battle, they salted the corpses of the enemy soldiers and ate them among the whole army, calling them cooked food."
"Longyou has been devastated and desolate in recent years, and countless people have died of starvation. But Fu Deng's ogre army even has blood-red eyes, just like those wild dogs and crows that eat corpses. Look, His opponents were so frightened that Yao Chang was known as a peerless yin hero, but he defeated this young man in a row, which is considered retribution."
The corner of Suzaku's mouth curled up: "Although in troubled times, it is not too uncommon for people to eat each other, but there are really not many people like Fu Deng who have the whole army for the purpose of cannibalism. I don't think he does this. It’s not just because Longyou is short of food, it’s more about promoting an atmosphere of terror to deter the enemy.”
Xuanwu sighed: "Yes, a few years ago, Xiyan raised troops and also used this kind of terror method. Although they did not directly cannibalize people, they divided their troops to plunder and plunder, and the resisters were massacred in villages and fortresses. The result was that they used this method to kill people." There are not many people in Guanzhong who have always had strong folk customs who dare to support Fu Jian. Now that these demons have left, I can't believe that Fu Deng is even more cruel than them."
"But heaven and earth have their own laws after all. Such cruelty and unkindness can be rampant for a while, but it is rare for people's hearts to last. Yao Chang is not an idle person. I think he is shrinking the front line and retreating to the Guanzhong area, but withdrawing the main force to Ling In addition, the battle line was stretched, the former Qin army had difficulty in supplying, and the captured areas had to be divided and defended. However, Yao Chang colluded with Liu Weichen and had the Heshuo cavalry at his disposal, which could surprise him and attack long distances. Therefore, he suffered a loss in frontal battles. , can often be compensated by this kind of strategic attack and must-rescue. These two have been fighting in Guanzhong for several years, and they are still evenly matched, but in my opinion, Yao Chang should have the last laugh."
Suzaku nodded: "I agree with Xuanwu. The best opportunity for Fu Deng to raise troops is the first wave. Fu Jian just died, and the people in Guanzhong Longyou were grateful for his kindness and mourned his death. In addition, the most terrifying Xiyan Just after Xianbei left, Yao Qiang did not pacify Guanzhong all at once, and most people were moving towards Qin. At this time, if Fu Deng went all out and rushed to the outside of the mountains, abandoning the newly occupied territories and forcing Yao Chang to fight, he would have a good chance of winning. of."
"It's a pity that although he was fierce in tactics, he was very conservative in strategy. He fought steadily and counted on the mighty powers from all over the country to surrender. As a result, he missed the opportunity. Yao Chang's roots are on the outside of the ridge, in the Hetao grassland, where there are large pastures, cattle and sheep. , is his foundation, and Longyou in Guanzhong has long been broken, and the land output is simply not enough to sustain an army of tens of thousands in long-term battles. As time goes by, Fu Deng's vigor has been lost, and if he wants to win again, unless he has great luck or It’s unexpected.”
Bai Hu sneered: "The longer they fight, the better. In this way, Luoyang will be half safe. At least the threat from the direction of Guanzhong can be eliminated temporarily. This is the only thing I can do. When I come back this time, I will stop by I went to the Hetao and met Liu Weichen. This guy is still as cruel as before, but in my opinion, his son is better than his father."
Suzaku curled up his lips: "Is Liu Zhili asking the question? He is just a brave man, nothing to be afraid of. This person will never be Tuoba Gui's opponent. The Tiefu Xiongnu missed the best opportunity to take back Monan. Wait until Tuoba Gui When I have my hands free to deal with him, I think he is irresistible.”
Bai Hu shook his head: "No, I am not talking about Liu Zhili's question, but Liu Weichen's youngest son Liu Bobo. This boy is only in his early ten years, but he is extremely cruel. Tuoba's head was made into a wine glass for him. , and his face was also peeled off to make a mask. I have seen many cruel guys with various evil ghost masks, or wolf bone masks, used to intimidate the enemy, but the face It’s the first time I’ve seen someone tear off the draped hair on his face, let alone a child over ten years old.”
Suzaku's expression changed: "This boy seems not to be underestimated. I didn't expect that among the Tiefu Xiongnu, there is such a character. On the grassland, strength is king. Whoever is the most ferocious will have the most prestige. Tuoba Gui Now he is using killing and iron blood to frighten every enemy who resists him. I just received the news that the new King of Wei has sent troops to attack his old benefactor, the allies of the Helan tribe, the He Tu Lin tribe and the He Xi tribe. "
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "This was expected, but it came a little earlier than expected. He had just ascended the throne and changed his country's name within a month, but he attacked his uncle's friends. In fact, he was forcing Helan to He sent troops to rescue his friend. If Helan Ne did not take action, the person who abandoned his friend would completely lose hope on the grassland. But if he sent troops, he would be fighting against the king, not to mention that the comparison of strength was now far inferior to that of the grassland. Tuoba Gui, who has returned to his heart, is despised even if he is of equal strength. He just supported and betrayed Tuoba Gui. These are just two glasses of poisonous wine. Helan Ne could only choose to drink one. I guess he would still choose to follow Tuoba Gui. After all, we can fight against Ba Gui this way, otherwise we can only wait for the tribe to be separated and slowly wait to die."
Suzaku laughed: "Your guess is correct. Helan Ne finally sent troops to help He Tu's neighboring tribes. Tuoba Gui immediately withdrew his troops and notified the grassland at the same time, saying that the He Lan tribe openly confronted the Wei Lord and was not a minister. All the tribes on the grassland are obliged to fight against the righteousness. Those who are willing to send troops to conquer the war can take the spoils for themselves after the war, just like the spoils of the division of the Dugu tribe. With the benefits of the division of the Dugu tribe last time, all the tribes on the grassland responded enthusiastically. Within a short period of time, more than 100,000 horsemen gathered in Shengle, the new capital of Wei State. However, the Helan Tribe, Hetu Neighbor Tribe and Hexi Tribe did not even have the courage to fight. They gave up their grazing land in the north of Yinshan Mountain and crossed the desert to march towards the desert. They have fled north. Along the way, countless people have fled and fled. Even if they reach Mobei, they will never be able to stand up again."
Bai Hu sighed: "I always feel that there is an unspeakable force behind this kid Tuoba Gui. Although this guy is very powerful and ruthless, a young man in his twenties can actually control the power of the people." When the king's art of overlord is used to this extent, I feel that it is very similar to our old friend."
Xuanwu's expression changed, and he sneered: "He is originally a disciple of Qinglong, so it is not surprising that he has learned some methods. By the way, Baihu, when you returned to Guanzhong, did you find out anything about Qinglong's gang members and intelligence system? "
