Chapter 401 Beware of the Southern Huns
"The north of Zhuoxie Mountain, Yanran Mountain and Anxi Shui South are leaning against Jinhui Mountain. Well, it's not bad, just like Kui Wan's words."
The Riyu Deduction nodded. Although the migrating tribe took some effort, there would be many losses.
But if this is not a bad move, the tribe will be defeated one by one by the Han army.
"If the Han army attacks, will we fight to the death with the Han army?" A Xianbei leader asked Rilu for advice.
"If the Han barbarians want to fight, I will fight with him. I will gather nearly 60,000 troops to defend in dangerous places and lay out gullies. I am sure that it is difficult for the Han army to attack. When the Han army fights out, it will be time for us to counterattack. In this battle, we will capture the Han barbarian Liu Fan alive."
Riluo stood up and said ambitiously that he suddenly felt a strong sense of confidence.
Perhaps it was because he had a different mood after becoming Shanyu. Or he had found a way to deal with Liu Fan.
"Capture the Han barbarian Liu Fan alive, capture the Han barbarian Liu Fan alive..."
The Xianbei nobles in the tent waved their fists and shouted together.
"Mr. Shanyu, the Han people came from afar, and there must be many food, supplies. Our army can send a small number of elite cavalry to harass the Han army's food route. When necessary, burn the Han army's supplies so that their leader cannot take care of each other."
As soon as the cry fell silent, a Xianbei general stood up to offer his plan.
"Okay, this plan is feasible."
At this time, the deduction of the Japanese rule had turned into joy. The team of elite cavalry went to look for the harassment and raids of the Han army's food supply route. Even if they were all surrounded and annihilated by the Han army, they would not hurt the overall situation.
...
Two days later, the mountain was at the east side of Zhuoxie Mountain.
Liu Fan and his generals were stationed here.
At this time, Liu Fan and the generals surrounded the bonfire and were barking meat.
"Where have Shi Ah, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu and others led the army?"
It has been more than ten days since the Han army scouts have been in contact. Liu Fan already knew about Huang Zhong and Xu Chu came to support him.
"I have arrived at the Khan Mountain of Junji Mountain. Within two days, the generals will be able to reach this place."
Shi A, who was sitting aside, put down the barbecue in her hand and replied respectfully.
At this time, Shi A was no longer a little chivalrous in the world. His official position was the military captain. In recent years, Shi A had investigated a lot of favorable information and was highly valued by Liu Fan.
Shi A's master Wang Yue was a general of the army at this time. All corrupt officials were very afraid of Wang Yue.
"Well. I hope this battle can be ended soon. This place can survive nomadicly for the Xianbei people, but for the Han people, it is a barren land. The front line is too long, and it is very difficult to transport food and grass from Shuofang and Wuyuan. If God does not fulfill his wish, we will be forced to retreat. Therefore, after most of our army gathers, we must do our best to defeat it in one go."
After Liu Fan nodded, he spun his barbecue and said to the generals and officials, asking them for their opinions.
Their baggage could be transported so quickly, relying entirely on a large number of cattle and horses, and the orderly systems of each county.
The general wanted to recruit civilians to transport food, grass and supplies, and those who responded were like clouds.
"Our army has captured three towns in a row, capturing more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and over 10,000 Xianbei people, and their morale is energetic. However, these captives and cattle and sheep drag us down, so that we can no longer gather our troops to attack other towns." A Han army captain said with a pity.
Killing prisoners was something that Liu Fan did not allow.
Those who resist, no matter the elderly, weak, women and children, will be killed without mercy.
Those who surrendered were all engraved as prisoners and taken back to Hetao, and gradually educated them.
Xianbei’s horse training skills and animal husbandry methods are incomparable to the Han people.
Besides, if the prisoners are killed, who will take care of the cattle and sheep?
More than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock are not easy to take care of.
The Huns and Xianbei can use them for him. The Hu people are naturally respectful of the strong. Once they recognize one person as their main one, most people will be loyal.
"Even without these Xianbei prisoners, we will not have the chance to gradually erode the Xianbei territory. I just got the news that all the Xianbei tribes, under the cover of the Xianbei army, all retreated deeper."
Shi A said to the captain.
There was no unexpected expression on Liu Fan's face. Obviously, Shi A had already reported to him.
"Oh! I wonder how General Fenwei is?" Zhou Cang sighed listlessly, one side of the flesh in his hand was burnt, and he still didn't know.
"Guan Yu is one of the heroes of this era. Heroes will not end before the era. I believe that Guan Yu has escaped. There is a way to the Western Regions to the west, and perhaps Guan Yu has settled in the Western Regions."
In recent years, Liu Fan has conducted in-depth research on the west of Hetao and even extending to the Western Regions.
The gateway to the Western Regions is Che Shi, and Che Shi has long been divided into a group of small countries. With Guan Yu's ability, can a group of small countries still do anything to him?
In the past few days, I have visited countless Xianbei people and have never grasped Guan Yu.
"The Han army will win. The Han army will win."
Everyone was emotionally infected and shouted.
"Shi, send someone to pass on my order to return to Yanmen, and ask the right military advisor Jia Xu to issue government orders to complete the post-war affairs. Let Yanmen and Hejian return to the pre-war situation as soon as possible. Send someone to pass on the left military advisor Xun You to pass on the prefect of Shangjun, and to take the Xihe County Meiji, Zengshan, Humeng, Dacheng, Guangyan, Guluo, Pingding, Fuchang and other counties west of the Yellow River and the grassland east of Shangjun. People with few fertile fields in Hetao and Yanmen can all move to Shangjun."
Liu Fan suddenly thought of something and ordered Shi Ah.
He was afraid that this battle would really become a protracted war and would not be able to conquer the west for a while.
"No!" Shi A received the order.
"The soldiers who were conquering the troops and the soldiers who died may not be restrained. I am very sorry for them. They told the counties to pay the funeral to the vassals and send them to their families, and the officials set up sacrifices."
Thinking of the Yinshan Iron Cavalry who had been killed in battle and the soldiers who had been killed in battle during these raids, Liu Fan gave another order to Yanmen and Hetao.
After this order, the generals around Liu Fan stood up and bowed to Liu Fan with tears in their eyes.
The horses were wrapped in corpses and died on the battlefield. Let the comrades return and let the officials set up a sacrifice to the spirits. This is more grateful than the rewards from a thousand gold coins.
They may die in battle, and they also want to return to their roots.
"Report..."
Just as Liu Fan and his soldiers were eating meat, a cavalry with a flag on their backs rushed from the east.
"Report to the General of the Cavalry, the Left Military Advisor rushed to send a letter."
The Han army's messenger was taken to him by Liu Fan's personal guards. After worshiping him, he presented a bamboo tube to Liu Fan.
"Oh..., the news came urgently, but something happened in the Shangjun?" Liu Fan took the bamboo tube and asked the commander.
"There is no change, everything in the Shangjun County is under the control of our army. The Left Military Advisor reassures the general. What the Left Military Advisor wants to say is in the letter."
The messenger bowed his hand and said to Liu Fan.
"I understand, please go down and rest!"
Liu Fan nodded. He opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter.
Be careful of the Southern Huns!
There are five big characters written in black and white.
"Come here. Present the map of mountains and rivers near the upper reaches of the Yellow River."
Liu Fan frowned and immediately ordered to the left and right.
After presenting the map left and right, Liu Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at Helan Mountain west of the Yellow River Basin. He looked at Jilusai again, and then at Junji Mountain.
"Southern Xiongnu. Since they have escaped from the Yellow River, stay in Helan Mountain, Qilian Mountain and nearby desert oasis. Don't go north to seek death!"
