1.48 Countermeasures
"Get the straw man quickly!" Liu Bei shouted.
"No!" hurried down from the city wall.
Wu Lian asked quietly, "Didn't the grass man stab the arrow to make up for the lack of arrows?"
Liu Bei nodded slightly: "That's right."
It turned out that in order to prevent insufficient arrows, Liu Bei ordered the craftsmen to tie many black-clothed straw men in advance. They connected each other with hemp ropes. When the moon was dark and the wind was high, they hung them on the city wall. Seeing this, the Xianbei decided that the Han army attacked at night. Shooting them randomly can relieve the danger of lack of arrows in the city.
This is a story about the famous general Zhang Xun, a straw man who borrowed arrows.
Wu Lian didn't understand: "Since that's the case, why not save it for later?"
Liu Bei whispered, "This time, that time. I used to guard the arrows in the city for less than ten days. After three days, the Xianbei was about to withdraw its troops and flee far away. Now I have to go against the rules. The city was covered with grass men, which made the Xianbei, who was clamoring but secretly withdrawing troops, were shocked and suspicious and did not dare to withdraw their troops."
Sure enough, seeing a series of soldiers falling from the top of the city, the Xianbei thought that the plan of the golden cicada to escape was seen by the Han army. So the city was hanged down and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob the camp, and set fire everywhere and block the killing. The Xianbei camp was suddenly silent. However, it had never come to shoot arrows. The crossbow on the top of the city shot a thousand steps away. The Xianbei suffered a lot for several days, so how could it be killed in vain!
He dared not retreat. If Liu Bei took advantage of the withdrawal of his troops and sent his troops to cover the death, the Xianbei army would inevitably collapse. He could only guard the camp and beware of guard all night.
Seeing that the Xianbei stayed in the camp, Liu Bei breathed a little relieved. After three days of fierce battle, the Xianbei was only weakened and not defeated. His strength was still there, but his foundation was still there. Just escape from Mobei and rest and recuperate, and he would make a comeback in a few years. From a strategic perspective, Liu Bei seemed to be defeated, but in fact he returned in vain.
In a nutshell, if Tan Shihuai does not die, the northern border will be in peace.
The strategy of a straw man disturbing the enemy cannot last long.
Liu Bei brought enough soldiers to defend the city, but he was unable to go out to pursue it. If Xianbei gave up the camp and supplies and the light cavalry evacuated, Liu Bei would be out of reach. If this battle was to be successful, the two treasures sent out were indispensable. It would take some time for Yan Rou to leave. Liu Bei had to drag Tan Shihuai firmly under the city.
Liu Bei spent all night long and thought about his tricks. At dawn, he finally had a plan.
Then he called his confidant embroidered official and asked secretly: Can the people who enter the city have mixed Xianbei’s works?
The embroidered official who was a traitor in Shunyang replied: Yes.
Liu Bei was overjoyed: Let’s talk about it in detail.
The embroidered official replied: Three men and two women. On the surface, they were all from the Han people in our country. In fact, they were Hu Hua Han people. During the former Han Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains depended on the Huns. Most of them were close ministers. Later, the Huns fled far away and the Xianbei rose. They were 100,000 Hun tribes, and their momentum was rising. These Hu Hua Han people lived in the grassland for a long time. After four hundred years, they had already been interested in the Huns and were willing to be lackeys, not my race.
Liu Bei nodded: It's so good. Don't act rashly. Just do this, so...
The embroidered clothes clasped his fists and said, "I went down to arrange it."
Seeing Wu Lian looking at him in confusion, Liu Bei smiled again: If this plan can be accomplished, one person will need help.
Wu Lian asked: Who is it?
But Liu Bei kept it a secret. Then he got up and walked out of the tent: Let's follow me.
The camp tents were crisscrossed and clearly divided. Along the way, there were constant secret whistles on the open hills. Even Liu Bei needed to order the day. Under the protection of his personal guards, the two arrived in front of an inconspicuous tent deep in the barracks.
He ordered the guard to enter and inform him. After obtaining permission from the master, Liu Bei and Wu Lian entered.
The person living in the tent was not someone else, but the Xianbei Empress Da Yan.
The Da Yan family with blonde hair and blue eyes, with a charming appearance in the country, was Dingling. Also known as Gaoche.
"Book of Wei": "There are twelve surnames in Gaoche's clan: one is called the Qi Fuli clan, the second is called the Tulu clan, the third is called the Yizhan clan, the fourth is called the Dalian clan, the fifth is called the Kuhe clan, the sixth is called the Dabogan clan, the seventh is called the Alun clan, the eighth is called the Moyun clan, the nineth is called the Qifen clan, the tenth is called the Deputy Fuluo clan, the eleventh is called the Qiyuan clan, and the twelve is called the Youshupei clan."
The Da Yan family was born into the deputy Fuluo family among the twelve surnames of Gaoche. It is said that they were the daughter of the tribe. The Xianbei family rose up and bounded the border in the south, rejected Dingling in the north, and surrendered Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, and occupied the former land of the Huns. More than 1,000 miles from east to west, more than 7,000 miles from north to south. Ding Ling, Yu and Wusun dared not fight with him. The Da Yan family married Tan Shihuai as their queen in this context. In other words, the Ding Ling tribe was also a marriage plan.
The tent is not big, but it is better than the exquisiteness.
When they go in and out, they are protected by female guards sent by Wu Lian. Moreover, Liu Bei’s military discipline is strict, so it is safe and natural.
Liu Bei took off his boots and entered the tent. The Grandpa stood up to greet him. The host and the guest sat down. Liu Bei asked: How has the queen been recently?
Da Yan leaned over and replied: Very good.
Liu Bei discovered that Da Yan was sitting upright like himself, but it was not the Hu people who were used to sitting cross-legged. He was proficient in Chinese and Chinese rituals, so he must be Ding Ling's noble daughter. Liu Bei was even more confident that Ding Ling was a marriage plan.
Seeing Liu Bei speechless for a moment, Da Yan asked: I wonder what the situation of the battle has been going on recently?
Liu Bei was very strange. Logically speaking, the two were hostile to each other, and the identity of Da Yan at this time was a hostage. We should never ask for this.
Liu Bei paused slightly and said: Three days of bloody battle, the Great Shanyu suffered losses in his troops and generals. There were seven or eight out of ten who could fight.
Da Yan nodded gently: Congratulations to Shaojun.
Liu Bei was stunned: Where did the joy come from?
The Da Yan family had many expressions of indifferent expressions: Xianbei was a tribal alliance. All tribes had adults. At the beginning of the year, locust plague was blocked by the sun, and the grassland was eaten up. Before the cattle and sheep were slaughtered, most of them starved to death. The Da Shanyu led his army south in April to plunder the Han territory and seize the food of the Han people. The locust plague was about to be extinguished, and the grassland was slightly restored. In August, the Han army went out of the frontier three times. The royal court was in turmoil, and the herdsmen fled the pastures one after another. How could they gain weight if they didn't eat enough food? Seeing that the winter was approaching, the young king and the young hero came prepared. Rebuilding the old city and preparing for the baggage. All the tigers and wolves under their command were strong armor and sharp blades. They put down war horses and attacked the city. They were not my eldest. The great disaster was coming. Since we could not fight against the enemy, how could we not retreat?
After saying a passage, Liu Bei's eyes were full of praise. It was indeed not an ordinary woman to be able to marry the heroic ruler of the Xianbei generation.
The Da Yan family is so smart that the rhetoric prepared before is completely useless.
He looked up suddenly and saw that the eyes of Da Yan were as deep as the stars and the wisdom was as deep as the sea. Liu Bei's heart moved and blurted out: How dare I ask the queen, how can I keep Da Shanyu?
A strange color flashed in Daqi's eyes. When Liu Bei looked after him again, there was no trace of it. It seemed that it had never happened.
After a long time, Da Yan said softly: Shao Junhou had already been calculating in his heart. Why should he ask a woman?
Liu Bei's heart fell to the ground. Then he said goodbye and left.
Da Yan bowed to see him, and tears seemed to appear at the corners of his eyes. Liu Bei suddenly woke up and bowed in a solemn manner.
The Great Son never rudes.
Da Yan was so charming that he was so beautiful that Wu Lian was very wary of her. She was afraid that she would charm Liu Bei. Therefore, she was extremely worried about her every move. When the two talked, Da Yan's micro-expression was vivid in my mind.
After leaving the bill, he asked: Why did she cry?
Liu Bei asked back: If someone wants to harm me and you are powerless, what should you do?
Wu Lian nodded and asked again: Since that's the case, why not stop it? If I were her, I would try my best to eliminate disaster for you. Why not use the beauty plan?
Liu Bei was stunned and smiled bitterly: The two powers were the most powerful, and the two powers were the least powerful. However, in a dilemma, how many people could give up the pain?
