The internal strife between the Han and Hu coalition forces lasted all day and night.
Twenty thousand Xianbei barbarians suffered countless casualties in this battle, with nearly ten thousand casualties and thousands missing. In the end, only three or four thousand were able to escape.
Knowing that the way back to the north would be cut off, Yu Zhugejian decided to flee south to join the Wei people.
In the end, he was intercepted by people from the Dark Night Camp.
The embarrassed Yu Zhu Gejian was escorted in front of Governor Feng. He stared with blood-red eyes and shouted in a hissing voice:
"Why?!"
We agreed to go to Guanzhong together, why did it end up like this halfway?
Facing Yu Zhugejian's eyes that wanted to choose someone to devour, Governor Feng sighed:
"Because you want too much."
Reviving the Han Dynasty and restoring the old capital has been the prime minister's lifelong dream.
He really wanted to let the barbarians rob Chang'an, and then the prime minister ran over excitedly and saw a broken dream.
At that time, he was so angry that he probably hung himself on the flagpole of the Chang'an city wall to dry in the air.
"It's my fault. Over the years, Liangzhou has given you too many things and made your appetite too big."
Hu Yi is afraid of power but not virtuous. This is indeed true.
Yu Zhugejian couldn't understand Feng Yong's words.
Governor Feng thought for a while and had to say something that the other party could understand:
"Actually, I want to borrow some horses from you."
"Borrow a horse?"
You call this borrowing a horse?
Not burning, killing and looting?
At any rate, when we Xianbei people plundered the frontier fortress, we never thought of saying that it was a excuse.
You Han people are so shameless!
Governor Feng waved his hand and was too lazy to say anything more to him, so he had people escort him down.
Then he looked at Bald Kheli again and asked:
"How many horses did you get?"
The bald man quickly replied: "About ten thousand horses."
Governor Feng smacked his lips: "Barely enough..."
Twenty thousand horses were used to obtain more than ten thousand horses. It must be said that the battle was a bit chaotic and the property could not be saved in time.
This batch of war horses was stored in another valley by Xianbei Hu'er, so it was not affected.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get ten thousand horses.
"Brother, now that we have fallen out with the barbarians, Kebi will definitely not be reconciled if he finds out about it. Do you want me to lead the cavalry battalion back to support General Guan?"
As soon as the war broke out, Zhao Guang raised this issue with some concern.
Jiang Wei twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
Li Qiu moved his lips but said nothing.
Yang Wanwan coughed.
General Guan still needs support?
When setting off from Jiuyuan, Governor Feng divided the army into two parts: the front and the back.
General Guan led more than 20,000 people to stay in Wuyuan County, while he personally led 30,000 people to Qiaoshan.
The number of fine cavalry that Kebi Neng can produce now is only 20,000.
He alone is worthy of contending with General Guan?
To put it bluntly, not to mention Ke Bineng, even the generals in Liangzhou, if they were to fight General Guan between the two formations, none of them would be able to defeat him!
Including Jiang Boyue, who has not yet fully grown up.
After all, in addition to the military books and art of war taught by the Prime Minister, Governor Feng also had military ideas brought over from later generations.
General Guan and Governor Feng were one and the same, and they were half daughters of the prime minister's wife.
There was nothing in Feng's house that she didn't want to know, and there was nothing she couldn't know. Her knowledge and vision were far beyond what others could compare to.
And Jiang Boyue...at most he only learned part of the Prime Minister's tactics of war.
No matter how powerful the operation is, it can't compare to someone who makes money, and no matter how much money they make, it can't compare to someone who cheats.
What's more, General Guan is capable of micro-managing, making money, and even has humanoid tricks...
It can be seen that letting General Guan personally guard the retreat was definitely Feng's premeditated plan.
Therefore, it can be easily seen that Zhao Erha is not worried about his future at all. He is simply panicking here and wants to go to the grassland to have fun.
What people didn't expect was that Governor Feng actually nodded:
"Yiwen thought well. Kebi has to guard against him, so I plan to lead the army back to the north and wipe out Kebineng."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Junhou, this..."
This time, even Jiang Wei couldn't help it.
If the monarch wanted to destroy Kebineng, why not just do it in Yinshan?
If you really want to use Kebineng, why are you so anxious to kill Puhe Yu now?
Now that Xianbei Hu has not been allowed to consume the Wei thieves, if he returns north to destroy Hu, I don't know how much more time it will take.
Isn't the purpose of this trip to go south to Guanzhong?
Why does it seem that Junhou wants to have trouble with Xianbei Hu?
Originally, Governor Feng had other plans to kill Pu He, but now it seems that he really wanted to kill Ke Bineng.
Why does Mie Kebi need to go back and forth so much?
This is really not like the style of a monarch!
But Feng Jishi said matter-of-factly:
"I said that Ke Bineng must die, so he must keep his word."
His eyes fell on Jiang Wei:
"Bo Yue, if I leave Wudang Camp and Modao Camp to you, can you stop the Wei thieves?"
Jiang Weizheng was puzzled. When he heard this, he subconsciously stood up.
Although Wudang Camp only has half a battalion, but with Modao Camp and the Tiger Infantry Army led by himself, there are nearly ten thousand people.
"Don't worry, sir, if the Wei thieves dare to come, the general will definitely make them never come back!"
Although he couldn't figure out what the Lord's intention was for the moment, since the Lord had given orders, he naturally had to obey them.
Governor Feng nodded and looked at Li Qiu:
"Xinhou, take Eshun with you to assist Boyue."
"clear."
In other words, my brother wants to leave all the infantry behind this time to stop the Wei thieves.
And he himself returned north with all the cavalry.
Li Qiu seemed to understand a little bit why his brother attacked the Xianbei barbarians.
When the troops were divided, General Guan had more than 20,000 people, but he only had one man and three cavalry.
As for the 30,000 men in my brother's hands, at least half of them are man and horse.
Now that there are more than ten thousand horses and the infantry have to stay at Qiaoshan, the cavalry in the hands of the brother can once again meet the minimum standard of one man and two cavalry of the Liangzhou Army.
Um?
Um!
So...what the brother said to Yu Zhugejian is true?
Just want to borrow a horse?
Thinking of this, Li Qiu was a little confused.
Of course, Governor Feng actually didn't just want to "borrow a horse".
He transformed into a ghost king and sacrificed 20,000 Xianbei barbarians. Not only could he save food, but he could also borrow a batch of food and grass from them.
A decrease and an increase are equivalent to an extra batch of grain and grass for the daily consumption of 40,000 people.
After arranging things, Governor Feng immediately organized his army and left all the grain, grass, cattle and sheep he had stolen from the Xianbei barbarians with Jiang Wei.
He took all the dry food and turned around and headed north.
This time around, many people within the Liangzhou Army were caught off guard and did not react at all.
Not to mention Wei Jun who just wanted to shrink back.
After receiving the news from the Wei army ahead, Guo Huai rushed to the camp closest to the Han army as soon as possible.
Although he missed the firelight at night, the billowing black smoke during the day was obviously more conspicuous than the firelight at night.
When he arrived, the shouts of death from the opposite side were still faintly heard and never subsided.
Obviously, the Shu captives were most likely involved in civil strife.
If the opponent had been someone else, Guo Huai would have started thinking about taking the initiative and going to test it out.
It's just that the terrain of Qiaoshan is too complicated.
More importantly, Guo Huai knew that Thief Feng was extremely cunning and could fall into the opponent's scheme if he was not careful.
Therefore, he did not act rashly, but sent out scouts to find out what happened to the Shu captives.
Many Wei army scouts took advantage of the chaos and witnessed with their own eyes the brutal fighting, or rather a semi-massacre, in the valley.
This extremely strange situation made Guo Huai even more confused and confused.
As more and more Hu people fled to the south, some noble Hu people even took the initiative to run to the mountains and asked for help from the Wei army, escorted by their personal guards.
The Wei army finally determined that the Shu captives had completely fallen out with the Hu people.
Coupled with the subsequent large-scale mobilization of the Han army, there was naturally no way to hide this from the Wei army, which had been paying close attention to its opponents.
"General, after this civil strife, the Shu captives probably realized that they were unable to capture Qiaoshan again, so they took the initiative to retreat."
"I think the morale of the Shu captives must be low at this time. If we take this opportunity to attack, we will be able to defeat the thieves."
Someone immediately made a suggestion.
Hearing this, Guo Huai was greatly moved.
However, this thought finally passed by in a flash. In the end, he rejected the huge temptation in front of him, shook his head and said:
"Even if the Shu captives are at war with the Hu people, Feng Thief still has nearly 30,000 troops, so don't be careless."
"Before I came to Qiaoshan, Grand Sima repeatedly told me that I could only stay tight and not take the initiative to attack. How could I disobey Grand Sima's order?"
"It's better to report this matter to Da Sima first and see how Da Sima arranges it."
This statement is reasonable and reasonable, and no one can find fault with it.
Because Da Sima did have this instruction.
However, in front of the two armies, the battle situation was changing rapidly. The general did not think about taking advantage of the opportunity to defeat the thieves, but only followed the orders of the superior officials hundreds of miles away. This is not the way to lead an army.
Many of the generals in the army were dissatisfied if they had not experienced a battle at Xiaoguan.
One of the generals, Jia Xu, even privately said to the military commander Guo Mo:
"This can be said to be as fearful of Shu as a tiger?"
When Feng Jishi led his army to withdraw from the Qiaoshan Mountains, Jiang Wei sent people from behind to deliver the first military information after the division of troops.
After reading the military information, Governor Feng clicked his tongue and murmured:
"It seems that Guo Huai is so good at Sima Yi's endurance skills that he is unwilling to attack."
He took a deep look at Qiaoshan behind him and ordered:
"Send the order, and the whole army will move forward quickly!"
"Your Majesty has your destiny, hurry up and move forward!"
Twenty thousand elite riders set off the billowing smoke and swept towards the north.
…
At the same time, in the Jingshui River Valley more than four hundred miles west of Qiaoshan, news of Wang Ping finally reached Deng Zhi.
When he learned that the Wei thieves had a large army heading north along the Middle Road, Deng Zhi couldn't help being shocked:
"I also said that after the battle at Xiaoguan, the Wei thieves no longer dared to go north from the middle road. I didn't expect that the Wei thieves still had the guts to do this."
Not daring to hesitate at that moment, he quickly ordered Liu Yin to stay safe and prevent Wei thieves from coming up the Jing River.
Then he and Ma Dai led thousands of people and hurried back to Xiaoguan.
At this time, Deng Ai had already crossed several streams at the foot of Longshan Mountain and quickly headed towards Xiaoguan.
Deng Ai forced Deng Zhi to return, which not only relieved the pressure on Guanzhong, but even in times of emergency, Xian Yufu was able to dispatch part of his troops to Qiaoshan to support Guo Huai.
When the military information sent by Xian Yufu and Guo Huai arrived in Yicheng one after another, Sima Yi was greatly inspired.
He sent the military report to the generals in the army and said with a smile:
"The Shu soldiers came in three groups. Two groups are no longer worthy of fear. Only Zhuge Liang's group is left. How can they hold out for a long time? I think they will have to retreat soon after they arrive!"
Immediately he wrote a memorial and sent it to Luoyang.
Then he sent someone to deliver a message to Qiaoshan, praising Guo Huai's prudence, and once again strictly ordered the generals to completely obey Guo Huai's command.
At the same time, he was authorized to Guo Huai, and anyone who disobeyed his orders could be dealt with by military law.
Just when Guanzhong was completely at a deadlock, there was peace and tranquility on the banks of the river in Wuyuan County.
This is a grazing land given by God.
The sergeants in charge of herding either cut the grass for fodder or drove their horses to areas with abundant water and grass.
"The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep appear..."
General Guan stood on the edge of the river, watching all this, and couldn't help but recite two sentences that Feng Governor had once recited.
No wonder Alang always likes to live in seclusion outside the Great Wall in the end in his chivalrous novels.
At this time, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind.
"General, I have something to report."
General Guan glanced at Liu Hun, who was blocked by his guards, and motioned to let him in.
Liu Hun hurried over and whispered:
"General, we intercepted a barbarian's passing cavalry."
"The messenger of the Hu people?" General Guan was stunned, "Is he delivering news to Gao Que?"
"Exactly."
"Why did you stop him for nothing?"
Liu Hun hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"General, I have discovered that the number of barbarian knights heading to Gaoque in the past two days has suddenly increased, and those knights do not approach our camp to ask for food like before."
"On the contrary, they deliberately avoided our camp. When the general saw them twice, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Therefore, the general thought that there must be something strange here."
"Huh?" General Guan's eyes narrowed, "So you deliberately intercepted a barbarian?"
Liu Hun said quickly:
"Don't worry, general. The general only accidentally shot his horse while hunting, and then brought him to the camp."
General Guan glanced at him. No wonder Alang always valued this person.
When you say it, it's like it's true.
"What's the question?"
Liu Hun frowned: "He only said that he was ordered by Yu Zhugegejian to go to Gaoque and inform the coalition forces that they had captured two mountains of Wei thieves."
General Guan said "Oh", "Do you think there is something weird in this?"
"Yes! If it is such a good thing, why do the Hu Ren Chuanqi avoid our camp? And I see that the Hu Ren Chuanqi is speaking in a flash, as if he is hiding something from us..."
Seeing Liu Hun being so suspicious, General Guan laughed and said:
"If something really happens, why don't you give us news? Forget it, give him a horse and let him go."
Seeing General Guan Hun's indifferent look, Liu Hun opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more. After agreeing, he turned around and went down to make arrangements.
Since Junhou led the army to leave, Liu Hun found that he could not see through the battle of Guanzhong more and more.
He also thought that Junhou asked General Guan to guard Wuyuan County in order to raid Kebineng at any time.
Unexpectedly, it seems that General Guan doesn't care about Ke Bineng at all.
But if it weren't for Ke Bineng, it would be completely meaningless for the army to stay here.
Liu Hun let out a long sigh, feeling a little depressed.
He was about to walk around the camp when he suddenly saw a familiar figure sneaking into a certain tent.
Liu Hun's heart moved and he followed.
"You are not allowed to drink alcohol without permission in the army. You have violated military law. I wonder if I won't tell General Guan!"
The two people in the tent were startled. When they saw the person coming, one of them smiled and said:
"Brother Polu, if you also want to drink, just say so. Why should you be scary?"
Another person urged:
"Hurry up and put down the tent door, don't let others see you."
It turns out that the man in the tent is none other than Liu Liang, the man of the Han Dynasty.
The other one is Kebineng's younger brother, Ruoluo Aliu.
It is true that alcohol is not allowed in the military, but there is an exception in one corner.
That was the camp where the Xianbei Hu people were, and there was no such rule.
Obviously, Liu Liang took advantage of this loophole.
Seeing Ruoluo Aliu, Liu Hun's heart moved, so he also sat down and asked:
"I noticed something was wrong with you. How did you get this wine?"
Liu Liang smiled proudly and said: "I am not a member of the army, so I have some skills in getting wine."
These words can be used to show off in front of others, but they cannot scare Liu Hun.
Without General Guan's acquiescence, you might not even dare to take horse urine.
Unexpectedly, Ruoluo Aliu nodded repeatedly and praised:
"Liu Langjun has always made a lot of friends. He also has friendship with Feng Langjun, so he can get good things that others can't get."
"Since arriving in Yinshan, not only has Lord Kebineng been a distinguished guest, many tribe commanders also like to deal with Langjun!"
Liu Hanzi said modestly:
"It's a reward, it's a reward, it's just a favor given by everyone."
After a few glasses of wine, Ruoluo Aliu's face turned red, and he began to talk a little uncontrollably, sputtering about some tribal rumors.
These days, I drink wine and tea, and there is no need to stay around Ke Bineng to watch his face.
In the slight drunkenness, Ruoluo Aliu felt that this kind of life could not be happier.
Towards the end of the drinking, Ruoluo Aliu was very drunk and did not say anything unusual in the end.
Liu Hun then left with an excuse.
On the second day, on the Qinzhi Road in the south, a Han army cavalry carrying a red command flag suddenly appeared. He rushed straight to the camp and shouted:
"Emergency military situation!"
"General, urgent military situation!"
After Chuanqi was helped down to rest, the guards carried Chuanqi's letter and talisman as quickly as possible to the commander's tent.
General Guan stepped forward hurriedly, and after confirming that the talisman was genuine, he quickly opened the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple, and it even used clear code instead of the code words commonly used in the military.
There are two big words written on it: quick hair.
Then at the bottom it was written in slightly smaller font: Be careful.
Large characters and small characters are two completely different shapes.
The large characters were written with a brush, crooked, ghost-like, and horrible to look at.
The small characters are written in charcoal, with a square shape and straight strokes, which can serve as a model.
Six characters, all in simplified Chinese.
In this world, apart from Feng Jishi, there is no one else who can write such a font that combines multiple characteristics.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of General Guan's mouth.
But soon, she put away her smile and shouted:
"Send the order, beat the drum!"
Just these six words suddenly broke the peace that had existed in the camp for more than a month.
Countless cavalrymen began to rush out of the camp, their iron hooves making a thunderous roar, and they swept towards their destination in a black mass.
