At the foot of Wuhuan Mountain, Liucheng.
This is where Wuhuan's base camp is now.
Today's Lord Wuhuan Tadun is the nephew of the former Lord Wuhuan Qiu Liju. When Qiu Liju died, because his son Louban was young, Qiu Liju registered Tadun as Master Wuhuan, taking charge of Wuhuan's power.
Under Tadun's rule, Wuhuan frequently went south and plundered the border areas. In recent years, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had been fighting each other. In order to win over Wuhuan, Yuan Shao not only appointed the leader of Wuhuan as Shanyu, but also married the women of the Yuan family to the leader of Wuhuan. Tadun took over all of them.
With the help of Yuan Shao to contain Gongsun Zan, Tadun quickly expanded his power and continued to plunder Youzhou.
Today, Wuhuan's power is getting stronger and stronger.
In Liucheng, the Wangting area.
Tadun was riding a horse and hunting, which was something Tadun often did.
When Tadun was young, he was very brave and strategic. After he took power, he still kept fit and hunted frequently. Tadun led his men to drive away the wild beasts. After a hunt, they captured a wild deer and more than ten hares, and the harvest was rich.
He returned to the king's tent, drank fine wine and ate meat, looking very pleased with himself. Tadun was physically strong and could eat a lot of meat in one meal, but he chewed the meat slowly and was not in a hurry.
While Tadun was eating meat and drinking, the sound of footsteps was heard, and a soldier entered, bowing and saying: "Great Chanyu, Han Jian wants to see you."
Da Chanyu is different from the name of Wuhuan Chanyu in the three counties.
The title Shanyu is mostly used for the Xiongnu, and Wuhuan is called Lord Wuhuan. Because Yuan Shao pretended to give Tadun, Wuyan and others the title of Chanyu, Tadun immediately agreed.
Tadun didn't care about face, what he cared about was his own strength.
After a while, Han Jian entered.
Han Jian is a Han from Liaoxi County, Youzhou, and comes from a wealthy local family. Because he saw the decline of the Han Dynasty and the rise of Wuhuan, he felt that the Han Dynasty had no hope, so he took the initiative to defect to Tadun and became Tadun's adviser.
Han Jian bowed and said: "Great Chanyu."
Tadun nodded and smiled: "Have you eaten, Mr. Han? Do you want some?"
Han Jian said modestly: "I'll eat it because of my humble position."
Tadun asked: "What's the matter?"
Han Jian has a slim figure and an aura, with two mustaches and a very symmetrical beard that is slightly upturned. His eyebrows were trimmed, giving him a very serious look, and he looked like a gentleman.
It's just that his pair of triangular eyes reveal a sinister look, which makes Han Jian feel a bit cunning.
Han Jian said: "The Great Chanyu, in his humble position, found out that Lou Ban, Nan Lou and Su Buyan were very close. It is said that Lou Ban was trying to win the support of Nan Lou and Su Buyan, and the two of them also had some feelings for each other. I plan to elect Lou Ban to become Lord Wuhuan."
A cold look flashed across his eyes, and he said loudly: "I believe that the Great Chanyu cannot just sit back and wait for death."
Tadun asked: "What do you think we should do?"
Han Jian replied: "I suggested from my humble position that Da Shanyu invite Nanlou and Su Puyan to the royal court for a banquet, then kill the two of them, and finally send people to annex their tribes. Louban thought he was Qiu Liju's son, but he Forget that without the protection of the Great Chanyu, he would have died long ago, and he would not have become the Chanyu of Liaoxi. What is ridiculous is that he actually wants to overthrow the Great Chanyu."
Tadun put down his wine glass, rubbed the beard on his lips, and laughed softly.
Han Jian said: "Why is the Great Chanyu laughing?"
Tadun drank a glass of wine and said: "It is normal for children to want more rights when they grow up. Lou Ban is my brother, and he is also the son of my uncle. If he has no desires or desires, it is actually abnormal. If you’re not afraid that he will want power, you’re just afraid that he won’t have power, do you understand?”
Han Jian seemed to understand.
Tadun continued: "I can kill Lou Ban, and I can easily kill Wuhuan Chanyus like Nanlou and Su Puyan. However, after killing them, even if I can annex their tribes, Wuhuan's overall strength will definitely be Internal friction.”
"Many people will also be my enemies."
"If Wuhuan wants to become stronger, he needs to unite more people and concentrate everyone's strength."
"So, you can't kill people casually, and killing people won't solve the problem. Lou Ban wants to be Lord Wuhuan, and I will make it happen for him. When he becomes Shanyu of Wuhuan, I will be the king of Wuhuan. With my strength and prestige, I can still Mobilize all Wuhuan troops."
"Even the upstairs class has to listen to my arrangements. After all, I am his elder brother."
Tadun looked at Han Jian and said with a smile: "Among you Han people, there is Huo Guang, a powerful minister who scorns the emperor. Han Jian, look at me, can I be a person like Huo Guang?"
Han Jian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Tadun had such power. Han Jian stooped slightly and bowed: "Da Shan Yu Yingming."
With a smile on his lips, Tadun continued: "Many things in the Han Dynasty were very good, and they are all my examples. As a person, I like to listen to Han people talking about the deeds of powerful officials in the Han Dynasty, because they can inspire me. "
Historically, when Tadun faced the situation where Lou Ban was seizing power, he chose to abdicate on his own initiative and handed Lord Wuhuan over to Lou Ban, becoming the king of Wuhuan.
However, Wuhuan's power was still in Tadun's hands.
This is a man who is well versed in power.
Han Jian said sincerely: "The great Dan is as wise and powerful as Mao Dun. In the future, you will definitely build an unprecedented Wuhuan Empire, even far surpassing the achievements of Xianbei Tanshihuai."
Tadun praised: "What you said is very good, but don't say it. You compared me to Mao Dun, and compared me to Tan Shihuai. Although Tan Shihuai is powerful, can he be compared with Mao Dun?" "
"Being guilty is a crime."
Han Jian quickly apologized.
Tadun shook his head and smiled, but did not pursue further.
"Report!"
A soldier quickly entered and reported: "Da Chanyu, a soldier came to report that they are the cavalry of Wuyan, the Chanyu of Youbeiping. They say that Wuyan was killed in Xu Wushan, Wuzhong County, Youbeiping."
"Bring people in."
Tadun's complexion changed slightly.
Wu Yan was the leader of Wu Huan in Youbeiping. Wu Yan's death had a great impact on Wu Huan's overall strength in Youzhou.
After a while, a cavalry general entered.
The cavalry general looked a little scared, but when facing Tadun, he was more respectful and saluted: "Da Shanyu."
Tadun asked: "Wu Yan was killed, what happened?"
The cavalry general said loudly: "Reporting to the Great Chanyu, this time Wuyan Chanyu personally led his troops to invite people in order to win over Xu Wushan's Tian Chou. However, Tian Chou refused."
Tadun sneered in his heart.
Wu Yan wanted to persuade Tian Chou to surrender, which was a good idea. If he had a chance, he would have arranged for someone to persuade Tian Chou.
The cavalry general continued: "After Tian Chou refused, Wu Yan Shanyu was furious and ordered an attack. We went to attack with more than 10,000 infantry. Seeing that Tian Chou's Wubao was about to be unable to stop it, suddenly a cavalry force came from behind us. "
"This cavalry, carrying the banner with the word Zhao, was very elite. It directly killed Wuyan Shanyu's general Tuoba Shan and captured Wuyan Shanyu."
"Our cavalry were scattered and fled quickly. After we left, news came out that the other party had killed all the Wuhuan people in Zhujing Temple, and the heads of Wuyan Chanyu and Wu Bang were placed in Zhujing Temple. Above the Jingguan."
Tadun's expression changed drastically.
Build a view of Beijing!
This is the greatest shock and the greatest humiliation to the Wuhuan people.
His eyes were sharp and his body was filled with murderous intent, and he asked: "Who is the other party's identity?"
The cavalryman shook his head and said: "I don't know the identity of the other party. I only know that the other party is flying a banner with the word "Zhao" and more than 4,000 cavalrymen. They are very elite. We infer that these people may be reinforcements invited by Tian Chou."
Tadun thought for a moment, then his aura calmed down, and he waved his hand and said, "I know, let's get down."
After the cavalry general went down, Tadun was still deep in thought. After a long time, he looked at Han Jian and said in a deep voice: "Which force does Mr. Han think this cavalry team belongs to?"
Han Jian bowed and said: "Reporting to the Great Chanyu, I feel that there is only one possibility for the cavalry to belong to Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao is allied with us and cannot be our enemy. Apart from Yuan Shao, there is only one Gongsun Zan left in Youzhou. There is no other power.”
"Besides, doesn't the banner with the character "Zhao" look familiar to Da Shanyu?"
A hint of horror appeared in Han Jian's eyes.
Tadun raised his brows, a gleam flashed across his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You mean, Zhao Yun, the white-horse Yi Conghu general who followed Gongsun Zan out of the fortress to attack us."
Han Jian said: "Only he meets the conditions."
Tadun thought about Zhao Yun's situation, stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and said, "Mr. Han's analysis is very possible. When Baima Yicong was there, Zhao Yun was invincible. With Baima Yicong, he killed us so hard that we couldn't resist .”
"Zhao Yun is very powerful."
"In the past few years, Zhao Yun has never appeared, and I don't know where he went. He is a member of Gongsun Zan's command. It makes sense to return to Gongsun Zan's command and lead the cavalry north to attack us and defend Youzhou."
Tadun said seriously: "As per your analysis, it is impossible for others. Only Zhao Yun can control such an elite cavalry. Other cavalry commanders would not be able to achieve this effect."
Han Jian bowed and said: "Da Shan Yu Yingming."
Tadun's eyes were deep and he continued: "Wu Yan died and was detained in the capital. I was very angry. But Wu Yan was killed and can be used."
Han Jian asked: "How does the Great Chanyu plan to arrange it?"
Tadun sat down again, leaned forward, and said with a smile: "Wu Yan was killed, Wu Huan was shocked, and Lou Ban, out of anger, will definitely take this opportunity to lead troops to Youbeiping to establish achievements."
"Once Zhao Yun is eliminated, Lou Ban has made a great contribution, and will be grateful to the Wuhuan people in Youbeiping. As a winner, it will be logical for him to regain his position as Lord Wuhuan, and more people will support him."
"It's a pity that Zhao Yun is very powerful. We had dealt with Zhao Yun back then and this person was considered invincible."
"So I think Lou Ban went to Youbeiping because he didn't know Zhao Yun's strength. In addition, Lou Ban, a young man, is self-righteous and has no experience, so it is easy to underestimate the enemy."
Tadun spoke slowly.
The plan was revealed inadvertently.
Tadun continued: "As for Su Puyan and Nanlou, they are both ambitious and talented people, and they are not worth mentioning. Especially Nanlou's headquarters is in Shanggu County, and Su Puyan's headquarters is in Liaodong. Although they support Louban, they are not worthy of mentioning. At most, only a few people will participate.”
"Louban is the Shanyu of Liaoxi. Under my rule, he cannot mobilize many troops. He mobilized troops in a hurry. He can only have 20,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry, which is already a huge number of troops."
"Although the number of these troops is far greater than Zhao Yun's four thousand elites, Zhao Yun is well versed in cavalry tactics. A young man like Lou Ban will easily be defeated and suffer heavy losses against Zhao Yun."
"I asked him to attack. After he is defeated, I will lead my troops to rescue Lou Ban and defeat Zhao Yun at the same time."
Speaking of this, Tadun's eyes flashed and he said: "I have become the great savior of Wuhuan, let Lou Ban be the master of Wuhuan, and I will be the king of Wuhuan. Mr. Han, who dare to oppose me? Who can object? By then, I will be Huo Guang of Wuhuan."
hiss!
Han Jian took a breath.
In his heart, he was extremely amazed. He did not expect that Tadun, who was born as a barbarian, could be so powerful in his political tactics.
Han Jian thought to himself that following Tadun was the wisest decision in his life. Such a person will definitely become a person far beyond Tan Shihuai. The Han dynasty was in decline, and Tadun might be able to go south to the Central Plains.
Han Jian said loudly: "Great Chan Yu Yingming."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier entered and reported: "Da Chanyu, Shanyu Louban in western Liaoning, Master Nanlou of Shanggu Wuhuan, and Shanyu Su Puyan in eastern Liaoning are asking for an audience."
"please come in."
Tadun gave an order.
With a smile on his lips, he said, "Mr. Han, I just mentioned them, and now they are here."
Han Jian bowed and said: "Da Shan Yu Yingming."
Tadun looked towards the door of the big tent. After a while, Lou Ban entered with Nanlou and Su Puyan. Lou Ban was wearing a brocade robe. He was nearly 20 years old, with a tall figure and sharp eyebrows. He looked a bit arrogant.
When Lou Ban saw Tadun, his expression was very calm, and he clasped his fists and said, "Lou Ban pays homage to the Great Chanyu."
"Meet the Great Chanyu."
Nanlou and Su Puyan saluted together.
The two of them were from Qiu Liju's era, and strictly speaking, they were Tadun's elders. Because Tadun became famous at a young age, fought countless battles, and had high prestige, they all followed Tadun's arrangements.
But in their hearts, they hope to support Lou Ban in succeeding to the throne. Lou Ban has become Lord Wuhuan and has lower prestige. As the elders, Nan Lou and Su Buyan will naturally have more say.
Tadun asked: "Ban Lou, what are you doing here?"
Lou Ban said loudly: "Da Shanyu, I just heard that Wuyan Shanyu was killed in Youbeiping. According to the news sent back by the soldiers, it was Zhao Yun under Gongsun Zan who entered Youbeiping with four thousand cavalry."
"Zhao Yun relied on a sneak attack to kill Wu Yan and built the soldiers into the capital to watch. He really deserves to be killed. I plan to take my people to You Beiping to take revenge and kill Zhao Yun. At the same time, I will kill the Han people in You Beiping and die for me. Wuhuan'erlang takes revenge."
Tadun asked: "Do you need me to go?"
"unnecessary!"
Lou Ban looked a little anxious and said: "Zhao Yun is just a mere Zhao Yun, so there is no need for the Great Chanyu to send troops. Moreover, when I go south, I will take Nanlou Chanyu and Su Puyan Chanyu with me. We lead 20,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. Going south, we have enough troops.”
"This force is enough to sweep through."
"The reason why we brought so many people is to kill the Han people in Youbeiping and let the Han people know that the Wuhuan people cannot be humiliated. Otherwise, Zhao Yun only needs 6,000 cavalry."
Tadun praised: "I feel relieved when you do things. In this case, I won't go."
Lou Ban's eyes showed undisguised joy, he was extremely confident and said loudly: "Don't worry, Shanyu, I promise to take Zhao Yun's head."
He was extremely excited. .
He was finally going south to make meritorious deeds.
Among Wuhuan people, they have always valued strength and merit. This time he went to attack Gongsun Zan, which was an opportunity for him to go south and make meritorious deeds. If Zhao Yun is destroyed and the Han people are slaughtered in this battle, he will gain higher prestige.
Tadun waved his hand and said: "Go."
Lou Ban saluted again, and left happily with Nan Lou and Su Buyan. After mobilizing troops and horses, he quickly left Liucheng and headed southeast, preparing to go south from Banghai Road.
When the army led by Lou Ban had just gone south along the Banghai Road, the sentinel sent by Lu Xuan discovered Wuhuan's whereabouts, inquired about the situation, and quickly returned to Youbeiping Xu Wushan to report the news.
The sentry rushed back all the way, panting. After seeing Lu Xuan, he felt a little dizzy. He quickly reported: "Your Majesty, Wuhuan has sent troops, with about 25,600 people. The flag raised by the opponent is Wuhuan. Shanyu Louban in Liaoxi."
Lu Xuandao: "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest."
The sentinel bowed and stepped back.
Lu Xuan called Jia Xu and Tian Chou and told them about Wuhuan's march south. He said in a deep voice: "Wuhuan has sent troops. What happened this time? Tadun hasn't come yet. The one who came was Louban, the former Qiu Li Ju’s son. What do you think we should do?”
Jia Xu slowly took out a map, pointed to the border between Beiping and Liaoxi counties on the map, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the place where we will deal with Wuhuan's army is Feng Dashui at the junction of the two counties."
"This river is the only place Wuhuan's army must pass to enter Youbeiping County. They must cross the river to enter Youbeiping."
"Our plan is also very simple. We will wait until half of their large-scale troops have crossed the river, adopt a half-crossing strategy, and defeat the opponent's front army in one go. Especially since the number of troops we sent out is only more than 4,000, and Lou Ban will not There is too much wariness.”
"I have heard a little about Lou Ban's situation. He is the son of Qiu Liju. When Qiu Liju died of illness, seeing that Lou Ban was young, he appointed Tadun to succeed him."
"It's not a good thing for Lou Ban to lead the team at such a young age."
Jia Xu's eyes were deep and he analyzed carefully.
What Jia Xu is best at is analyzing people's hearts and using them to judge actions.
Jia Xu continued: "The simplest reason is that Lord Wuhuan like Tadun cannot allow Lou Ban to establish his prestige and take power. Therefore, Lou Ban's move south may be Tadun's plot to further embarrass Lou Ban. .”
"Of course, it's also possible that the building class took the initiative and wanted to give it a try."
"No matter what, Lou Ban is too young."
"Being young means that it is easy to be proud and arrogant. What's more, if Lou Ban is not an arrogant person, but a profound, talented and strategic person, Tadun will never let such a tiger out."
"So, it's a strategy of half-crossing and attacking."
"If Tadun comes with a large army, there will be too many troops and we are small in number, so it is difficult to adopt this strategy. There are only more than 20,000 people in Louban now. As long as his former army is defeated, this battle will be won."
After listening to Jia Xu's suggestion, Lu Xuan carefully looked at the position of Feng Dashui on the map, nodded and said: "We have few troops, so we must use surprise troops. Attacking halfway across the river is indeed the most appropriate strategy."
Tian Chou solemnly said: "Your Majesty, these days, you have reorganized part of Xu Wushan's troops and restored the establishment of four thousand cavalry. However, I believe that the number is still a little small, and when covering up the killing, you don't need too elite troops, just ordinary troops." For this battle, I am willing to recruit four thousand young men to participate in the battle."
"Can!"
Lu Xuan nodded and answered.
Tian Chou said: "The humble post will be arranged immediately."
Lu Xuandao: "Hurry up and prepare for action quickly to ambush Feng Dashui as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Tian Chou got up and went to make arrangements.
Lu Xuan also made arrangements, and the entire cavalry and infantry in charge of Zhao Yun were mobilized.
Half an hour later, Lu Xuan and Tian Chou quietly sent out troops with their troops and headed towards the Feng Dashui area on the southwest border of Beiping.
