Chapter 1303 Variables(2/2)
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 them.
Until one day, a certain 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. There are no less than 3,000 horses among them.
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 out of the encirclement, 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, hitting the target with one strike, and luring Liu Hun and others into the trap step by step. Each step was carefully planned. This is not what ordinary generals can do.
Feng Da Sima 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 Mr. Feng feels very painful in his heart.
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 of the Hu people in Youzhou would become worried for a short time.
After all, Yi Di is afraid of power and has no morals!
No matter how many benefits you are given, 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 for Sima Yi to 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 find out that the Hu people drove a large number of livestock from the northeast..."
Could it be that the news Liu Hun and others got is 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 are jealous of 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 to the 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 making 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 masters, making it the largest tribe in Monan."
"No," General Guan seemed to remember something again and exclaimed, "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 for a moment, "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 one.
"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 head was 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 Han Dynasty on behalf of Suo Tou."
"What?"
Feng Dasima let out a heavy breath:
"They said that as long as the Han Dynasty is willing to recognize Suotou as the master of the grassland, Tuoba Xianbei is willing to be a vassal of the Han Dynasty and pay tribute every year."
When General Guan heard this, he 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?
"Moreover, they also promised that, to show their sincerity, they were willing to follow the old example of the Southern Xiongnu, obey the call of the Han, and send warriors from their tribe to help the Han put down the rebellion 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's head a person with a goddess? And the goddess is at the mountain gate, and she has a grudge with Alang, so why is Suo's head still 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 that he knows nothing and can't decide anything."
"If what he promised is false, there is no need to discuss it."
Feng Da Sima 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 from him later."
After the incident at the Hedong Governor's Mansion, the battle at Shangdang was immediately followed. He was so busy that he could not care about those barbarians.
There is 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 established such a large force in the north of Youzhou. It is definitely impossible to bypass the most powerful force.
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.
