Chapter 1087: Storm Is Coming on the Grassland (Part 2)
Tadun raised the document in his hand and said to the four of them: "This is the troop dispatch order from the Xianbei Royal Court. Everyone, take a look and tell us what we should do!"
Lou Ban first took the document from Tadun's hand, read it carefully, and then handed it to Nanlou, one of the three kings, with a happy face. He turned to look at Tadun and said, "Brother, this is It’s a good opportunity for us Wuhuan people to return eastward!”
Louban is seventeen years old this year and is the son of Wuhuan Chanyu and the former Wuhuan king Qiu Liju. During the Chuping period, after Qiu Liju died in battle, because his son Louban was young and his nephew Tadun had military skills, Qiu Liju ordered Tadun to be appointed as Shanyu on his behalf. He took charge of three films and waited for Lou After the squad grew up, the position of Chanyu was returned to him, and all Wuhuan ministries followed his orders.
In Wuhuan today, there are less than 50,000 tribes distributed near Liucheng, and their military strength is only more than 40,000. Of course, there are still some Wuhuan tribes in the counties to the west of Youzhou, such as the Nengchen Di tribe in Daijun, the Wang Tong tribe in Shanggu, and the Wang Ji tribe in Yuyang. However, these tribes only have a few thousand troops. . Coupled with some scattered tribes, the total strength is only 50,000, which is not even as good as the Queji Department, the smallest of the seven major Xianbei tribes.
After listening to Lou Ban's words, Tadun said: "Then where should we launch an attack?"
Without even thinking about it, Lou Ban said: "Liaoxi County, with the Xianbei people's attack, General Baima can't take care of Liaoxi. We can directly attack the hinterland of Liaoxi. I heard that Liaoxi has been very good in recent years, and what's wrong with that?" There is everything on the dock of Ting's port. If we can capture it, Wuhuan's re-emergence will be just around the corner."
Seeing the high-spirited look on Lou Ban's face, Tadun and the other three people looked at each other. They all shook their heads in unison for such a young middle school student. The purpose of sending troops to western Liaoning is to draw all of Gongsunzan's attention to Wuhuan. Originally, Gongsunzan has stopped fighting against Wuhuan in the past two years. If he directly sends troops to the hinterland of western Liaoning, Gongsunzan will definitely solve it first. After defeating the Wuhuan people, they turned back to deal with the Xianbei people.
Tadun already had a rough idea in his mind, but decided to listen to the opinions of the three kings first, so he motioned to the three of them and asked them to talk first.
"We must send troops to attack Gongsunzan, but there is no need to send troops to western Liaoning." Su Puyan cleared his throat and said: "If we directly send troops to the hinterland of western Liaoning, it will definitely arouse Gongsunzan's anger, and we cannot touch the port of Leting. Because I once heard that the lord of Leting has a very close relationship with a big shot in the Central Plains. Now Gongsun Zan is not something that I, Wuhuan, can handle. If he offends a more powerful prince, for me, Wuhuan, it will be really difficult. It’s unwise.”
Tadun nodded and signaled Su Buyan to continue.
"According to my suggestion, we can attack another place of Gongsunzan." After saying that, Su Buyan pointed in the northwest direction: "I heard that after Gongsunzan defeated several adults in Xianbei in the east, he went to There are many cities built there, and although some of them are under the rule of Gongsun Zan, they are the territory of foreigners. If we send troops to attack those cities, the Xianbei people should be able to explain it. "
"Yes," Tadun said, "That's what I mean, because Gongsun Zan built a big city on the original grassland of the Xianbei people. If the eastern Xianbei tribe really sends troops this time, this city will definitely be attacked first. In the name of sending troops to support us, we went all the way west from Liucheng and directly attacked the foreign territories and cities. In this way, we could achieve the purpose of dealing with the Xianbei people without overly offending General Baima. At the same time, these foreign territories could also Provided me with a lot of supplies in Wuhuan.”
As Tadun spoke, he looked at the younger brother next to him to see if he had understood his strategy. Unfortunately, Lou Ban still looked at him with a blank look on his face. Although Tadun is now the Chanyu of Wuhuan, he is one of the rare people who is not attached to power. He has been carefully training Lou Ban over the years, hoping that he can successfully take over Wuhuan at the right time.
It's a pity that Lou Ban's growth still failed to meet his requirements.
After a brief pause, Tadun continued: "If General Baima cannot withstand the Xianbei attack, then the Wuhuan warriors will attack the hinterland of western Liaoning after capturing these cities and control the entire western Liaoning. If Gongsunzan can hold out under the Xianbei attack, and we can successfully control these places. "
Upon hearing this, several people felt that Tadun's plan was feasible. Wuhuan could no longer withstand failure. It would be best if he could really strengthen himself in the war between these two giants.
Lou Ban had obviously figured out Tadun's strategy at this time. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had to admit that Tadun was much better than him.
Seeing that several people agreed with his suggestion, Tadun said: "Okay, since everyone has no problem, let's prepare separately. This time we send out troops, leaving half of the troops to guard Liucheng and monitor Gongsundu. We Wuhuan already has only two cities, Liucheng and Yangle, and almost all the old camp personnel are here, so there must be no loss of these two cities. King Qiao, I will entrust these two cities to you. "
Su Buyan stood up and bowed and replied: "Don't worry Shanyu, Xiao Wang will definitely guard the two cities and wait for the army to return victoriously."
"Okay, everyone, let's work together. This time is very likely to be the opportunity for Wuhuan to rise. I hope we can seize this opportunity. God Sirius will definitely not give up on Wuhuan!"
"May the Wolf God bless us!" Several people bowed together;
Similar situations were happening everywhere on the grassland. Afterwards, teams of cavalry gathered in their respective tribes, herds of cattle and sheep were gathered, and then under the escort of the cavalry, they left their own camps of each tribe and gathered at the locations designated by the leaders of each tribe.
At the gathering points of the various Hu people in Bingzhou and Youzhou, the heads of each tribe received invitations from the leaders of the seven Xianbei tribes to send troops. For a time, the various tribes within the Great Wall seemed to have quieted down.
However, the changes on the grassland are still unknown to everyone. Huangfu Chaobo has now put all his energy into the construction of the new territory next to the Yison River. In a dozen days, the two new territories have been upgraded to the level of large villages, and in a few days they will be able to be upgraded to the level of small towns.
At the town level, the defense of the territory is safer. Although it is still impossible to build a stone wall, the two sides are made of large wooden walls and the middle is made of rammed earth. Its defense capability is much stronger than the thin wooden walls at the village level.
