"Oh my god, why are you here?"
It turned out that Feng Dashima, who was still thinking about the autumn day, immediately let go of what he was holding when he saw the beautiful and picturesque Madam Zuo.
At the same time, he quickly pulled his hand out from somewhere.
His arms shook uncontrollably almost at the same time!
Hua Xiaowu in his arms is also a spirit.
With Feng Da Sima shaking his arms, he struggled to get out of Feng's arms with some embarrassment, staggered for a moment, and then stood firm.
His hands were hurriedly arranging the messy clothes on his body.
The two of them looked very much like a man and a woman who were caught red-handed having an affair - of course, they were indeed one. Who made their reputations so unfair?
General Guan Da, who had satisfied his bad taste, walked slowly and sat down next to Feng Da Sima, and raised his chin:
"What, is this concubine getting in the way of A Lang's good deeds?"
"No, no," Feng Dasima quickly picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip to calm down his shock. He laughed dryly, "We are not outsiders. What can the family say?"
Then he looked at General Guan and asked again:
"Where are you from, Mr. Xi?"
General Guan was not an unreasonable person, not to mention that she had personally delivered Hua Xiaowu to Feng Da Sima's bed.
Seeing that Feng Dashima had a good attitude, he didn't bother too much and handed over an official document:
"Bingzhou sent news that our people operating in the north of Youzhou were ambushed and suffered a big loss."
"Um?!"
Feng Da Sima raised his eyebrows and took the official document. This was an unexpected surprise.
After all, how could the Han cavalry suffer a loss on the grassland?
"what happened?"
General Guan turned his head and raised his chin again, using the same movement to signal Hua Xiaowu:
"What are you doing here? Why don't you pour me some tea? You don't even wink!"
Hua Xiaowu felt guilty, and after hearing this, he quickly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea.
After pouring, I realized, hey, why should I be so obedient?
General Guan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He seemed to be calming down. After a while, he answered:
"I suspect that Sima Yi may have sent troops to Youzhou."
Feng Dashima raised his voice: "Yeah!"
His eyes widened: "Sima Yi sent troops to Youzhou?"
It was expected that Sima Yi would take over Youzhou.
After all, after taking Jizhou, Youzhou was cut off from Xuchang.
Wang Xiong may be considered a person with some talents.
But in the bitter and cold place of Youzhou, in order to show some mercy to the Hu people, they even did not hesitate to exclude Tian Yu, who advocated being tough on the Hu people.
Later, Cao Rui took a look and said, "Hey, Governor Wang, you did a good job. You don't need so many soldiers in Youzhou anyway. Why don't I transfer them to support Guanzhong."
It doesn't matter if you do this, but in the Battle of Guanzhong, the kings and ministers of Wei had high hopes for Sima Yi, but he was chased away and finally ran back to Luoyang.
The second batch of Hebei soldiers who were transferred were also the last base of Hebei. They were dragged back to Hanoi and finally were recruited by Sima Taifu.
It's okay for Jizhou in the rear, but Youzhou suffers.
The land of Youzhou is too cold, and the food output is not as good as that of the mainland. It also has the responsibility of supplying horses to the mainland.
All the troops and horses were mobilized again, and the defense was empty.
After the First World War in Guanzhong, the barbarians who were originally obedient started making trouble again in the frontier for some unknown reason, and the troubles tended to get bigger and more chaotic.
Even if Wang Xiong wanted to recruit county soldiers, in the end he could only think about it - even if he recruited a little, it would be a drop in the bucket.
Soldiers need food. Soldiers need food. If you want to raise soldiers, you must first have food.
Where can you get so much food in Youzhou?
If you don't have food, you'll have to recruit soldiers!
In the past few years, the situation in Youzhou has become increasingly corrupt, making Wang Xiong, who was still a little angry at first, very anxious.
Facing the increasingly rampant barbarians, Youzhou is good at holding on to its main city, but what else do you want?
He asked the imperial court for help, but the letters sent to Xuchang were sealed one after another, like stones sinking into the sea.
General Cao was not only busy sleeping with the late emperor's woman every day, but also had a lot of fun fighting with Taifu Sima.
How can I be in the mood to take care of Youzhou?
Not only was it unintentional, but it was also powerless.
Money, food, people, no matter what, General Cao is in short supply!
So it’s better to pretend that you don’t know anything.
It was not until Sima Yi took control of Jizhou that he wrote a letter to Wang Xiong.
After Wang Xiong received the letter, he almost cried and wished he could call Brother Sima Yi:
Master, I wonder if you still remember me, my brother.
If you don't come, I will hang up and go home.
Therefore, Sima Yi took over Youzhou even more smoothly than Jizhou.
What people didn't expect was that he actually dared to send troops to ambush the enemy.
To be able to ambush Liu Hun Tufa Tianli and others on the grassland outside the Great Wall, and to be able to defeat them, at least requires spending some money.
After all, the cavalry led by Liu Hun and others were at best inferior to the elite cavalry of the Guanzhong Eighth Army.
Because some of them are serious cavalry soldiers of the Han army.
"How much is the loss?"
"Nearly two thousand riders."
Hearing this, Feng Da Sima took a deep breath and said, "Two thousand riders?"
"right."
General Guan let out a breath, as if the news made her a little depressed.
Feng Dashima, who had not yet read the military report in his hand, expected five or six hundred riders at most.
Unexpectedly...two thousand riders?
And it’s also a good war horse!
Do you know that the Wu State has begged for so many times, but I only gave them so many war horses in one year?
And it’s still a popular product!
It's not even comparable to pulling horses from any tribe on the grasslands and deserts!
ride!
What unit is riding?
The representatives and the horses were gone.
These losers!
Sitting up straight, Feng Da Sima immediately opened the military newspaper and read it carefully.
Along with the military report, there was also a description of the battle situation at that time written by Sima in the army.
After reading it, Feng Dasima had an angry look on his face and suddenly took the military report onto the case:
"We know that a new Wei army has appeared in Youzhou, which is called a new enemy situation. Why don't you know how to be more careful!"
This defeat was obviously carefully planned.
In the past few years, Liu Hun and others set out from Pingcheng and gradually expanded their scope of activities. From Daijun to Shanggu, they can be seen everywhere outside the pass, and sometimes they can even defeat Juyong City.
In line with the principle of not letting a single war horse flow into Youzhou, almost all the Hu people outside the fortress in the north of Youzhou were driven to Pingcheng by various means to trade livestock.
The only exception is Xianbei in the east, which is located in Yuyang and Youbeiping. Because the distance is too far, there is no way to affect it too much for the time being.
This is where things go bad.
Since the beginning of spring this year, more Wei troops have been added to the border fortress in Youzhou.
No more, no less, just enough to defend the key points of the frontier.
Although these Wei troops were unable to take the initiative to attack, if they encountered not many men and horses on the other side, they could still rely on the border fortresses to resist.
Although this did not cause much harm to Liu Hun and others, it caused some trouble for the operation.
So they wanted to remove the nails on these border fortresses.
It is a pity that these Wei troops seem to be very cautious and never leave the fortress easily.
Even if Liu Hun sent a small number of men and horses to drive cattle and sheep through the fortress, the Wei troops inside the fortress could not resist rushing out.
It was this kind of behavior that made Liu Hun and others think that there were not too many Wei troops in the pass.
In addition, their actions on the grassland had been too smooth over the years, which made them relax their vigilance, and finally started to look down upon him.
Until one day, a tribe on the grassland sent them a message:
Xianbei in the east, which is on the desert to the north, is driving a large number of livestock, preparing to trade in Baitan County, Yuyang County, Youzhou before winter. Among them, there are no less than 3,000 war horses.
In order to prevent this transaction, but also to establish prestige in the eastern Xianbei area.
Liu Hun and others mobilized their entire army to intercept them at the border of the pass.
As you can imagine, the result was that they were surrounded instead of being intercepted.
If the soldiers had not been brave and skilled in fighting and fought desperately to break through, the five thousand elite cavalry finally escaped and three thousand were replaced by the tribes on the grassland, and the entire army would have been annihilated.
"This time, even if Sima Yi doesn't take action, I'm afraid it will be an experienced general among the Wei thieves."
Paralyzing the enemy, slowing down the enemy, and hitting the target with one strike, luring Liu Hun and others into the trap step by step, each step carefully planned, is not something that ordinary generals can do.
Feng Dashima sighed:
"After this battle, my plan in the north of Youzhou was discovered by Sima Yi."
If it were someone else, you wouldn't have to worry too much even if the other party discovered it.
After all, the big man could afford the price and was not afraid of raising the price with Wei.
As long as the money is in place, I believe everything will be fine.
Worryingly, who knows what kind of targeted measures Sima Yi will take?
In the past, you could do it freely, but in the future, you may have to be careful.
Especially near the border fortress, Sima Yi, an old turtle, would still be very painful once bitten by him.
Now Feng is feeling very painful.
Two thousand riders!
How much food does it cost to train two thousand elite knights?
"Now Liu Hun and the others..." Feng Da Sima pressed his hand on the military newspaper, "They have returned to Bingzhou. In other words, Sima Yi may get a batch of war horses from the Hu people in the north this year."
Because of this defeat, and the fact that Liu Hun and others were forced to retreat to Bingzhou, at least some Hu people in Youzhou would become worried for a short time.
After all, Yi Di is afraid of power and not virtuous!
No matter how many benefits you give, it will never be as simple as saber.
Liu Hun and others temporarily withdrew from the Youzhou border, and even retreated in embarrassment in front of the barbarians.
The Wei people were holding on to the power of victory, which was enough to make Sima Yi do something.
In August and September, when the grass is yellow and the horses are fat, it is the best time of the year to trade livestock.
It seems that Sima Yi deliberately chose a good time.
Apart from this, what caught Feng Da Sima's attention the most was a detail in the military newspaper.
Knocking on the military newspaper gently, he suppressed his anger and said:
"According to the battle report written by the Army Sima, the scouts in the army did detect that the Hu people drove a large number of livestock from the northeast..."
Could it be that the news Liu Hun and others got was true?
And then Sima Yi took advantage of him?
If the guess is true, then even if the barbarians in the north of Youzhou are tempted by profit, or they admire the big man, they still will not sell a horse to Youzhou.
But Sima Yi still got the war horse he wanted from Xianbei in the east of Beiping.
It can be said that you are trying to catch a rabbit with ease.
"Pingcheng is too far away from Youbeiping, not to mention those eastern Xianbei people are still in Yuyang and even north of Youbeiping. Our people are simply beyond our reach."
Fortunately, those Xianbei people were far away. If I remember correctly, such a large-scale trade event should only happen once every two or three years.
Feng Da Sima raised his head and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he muttered to himself:
"I remember that when I was inspecting Pingcheng, I met a man named Tuoba Desert Khan. He claimed to be the eldest son of the Suotou Xianbei people?"
(Note: Chapter 1169 to Chapter 1172)
"Asking for Xianbei's head?"
General Guan felt that this name was somewhat familiar. After all, Liu Hun and others were causing trouble in Youzhou, and a lot of information from the grassland must have been sent back.
After thinking for a while, General Guan quickly remembered: "Huh? Is it the largest one in Xianbei in the east?"
"Yes." Feng Da Sima nodded, "Two years ago, I heard that there were already more than 100,000 string control people, making it the largest tribe in Monan."
"No," General Guan seemed to remember something again and screamed, "I mean, aren't they the tribe of the goddess?"
That goddess was probably from Shanmen, and she had sent people to rob the Feng family's things.
How could General Guan not remember it?
But Da Sima Feng nodded: "Yes, it's this tribe."
"Why does Alang actually know that Tuoba deserter?" General Guan paused, "He is the eldest son of the leader of Suotou? Then, then..."
According to Alang's temperament, such a person would definitely not let him escape, right?
"Tuoba Desert Khan, his lord, the leader of Suo Head, is called Tuoba Liwei, and he is the guy with the natural girl."
Feng Da Sima rubbed his forehead and said, "Master Tuoba Tianli is a bald boy, and we are brothers."
I just don’t know if they are half-brothers or half-brothers.
Anyway, the Goddess said that the lord who is weak in Tuoba is the bald lord.
"So Tuoba Tianli should be called Tuoba Liwei's uncle, and Tuoba Desert Khancong's brother."
After sorting out these relationships and finally remembering all the conversations with Tuoba Desert Khan at that time, Feng Dashima continued:
"At that time, I met Tuoba Desert Khan in Pingcheng, and I was very surprised because Suo's heads were gathered in the Changchuan area, which is the northernmost part of Monan."
Having said this, Feng Da Sima looked at General Guan: "I didn't expect him to be able to come to Pingcheng, and he was sent as an envoy to the big man on behalf of Suo Tou."
"What?"
Feng Da Sima exhaled heavily:
"They said that as long as the Han is willing to recognize Suotou as the master of the grassland, Tuoba Xianbei is willing to be a vassal of the Han and pay tribute every year."
General Guan heard this and had a disapproving look on his face:
The grassland also belongs to the Han Dynasty. Why should Tuoba Xianbei be the master of the grassland?
"Also, they also promised that to show their sincerity, they would follow the old example of the Southern Xiongnu and obey the call of the Han and send warriors from their tribe to help the Han quell the chaos and eliminate the bandits."
"ah?"
When General Guan heard this, he became a little confused:
"The more I listen, the more I don't understand. Isn't Suo Toutou a person with a goddess? And the goddess is at the mountain gate, and she has a grudge with Alang, so why is Suo Toutou willing to send troops to help the big man?"
Feng Da Sima shook his head:
"So I didn't take Tuoba Desert Khan's words seriously."
"Because if what he promised is true, it means he knows nothing and can't decide anything."
"If what he promised is false, there is no need to discuss it."
Feng Dashima sighed:
"Originally, according to my plan, I was thinking of fishing for a big fish with a long line to see if I could catch the person behind him, but unexpectedly, something happened at the Hedong Governor's Mansion."
"In addition, Tuoba Desert Khan also left in a hurry after I left Pingcheng, and there was no news later."
After the incident at the Hedong Dudu Mansion, the battle at Shangdang was immediately followed. He was so busy that he couldn't care about those barbarians.
There was no news about Tuoba Desert Khan.
So this matter was just forgotten by Feng Dashima.
Now that Liu Hun was ambushed, and the matter also involved Xianbei in the east, Feng Dashima remembered that he seemed to have missed an important chess piece on the grassland.
The Eastern Xianbei have created such a large force in the north of Youzhou. It is definitely impossible to bypass the most powerful Suo head.
I just don’t know that Suo Touhou finally felt that he had accumulated enough strength and planned to go south to take advantage of the troubled waters.
Or is this just a normal transaction?
This made Feng Da Sima a little wary.
Everyone can see that there will definitely be a war between Han and Wei in Hebei.
And this war can happen at any time.
The further back in time, the greater the probability of triggering.
This was the battle that decided the fate of Wei.
At this time, a wave of more than 100,000 string-controllers appeared in the north, which was enough to cause unpredictable changes in the battlefield.
