116 Each has his own needs
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.
He heard Yan Xing report to his family and knew that it was under Liu Bei's command. The Xianbei cavalry was immediately in a state of chaos. The centurion was about to raise his sword when he suddenly heard the sound of a strong string.
Bang!
The fire suddenly rose. The scimitar in his hand cracked. Fragments slashed across his cheeks, and blood flowed like a waterfall. His blinked eyes were dyed red half of his head and neck.
The centurion did not move. He stared at the broken knife with his eyes empty.
The Kucha scimitar has gone through hundreds of battles, and its gaps are like a saw. Today it is finally broken.
The sword is in the man, and the sword is in the dead.
"Where is Tuoba Jiefen?" The voice fell from a high place. The centurion raised his head when he heard the sound and saw Liu Bei, who was wearing a red gold kirin armor, and was so majestic.
Time suddenly flowed back, as if it was back to Baitan City. At that time, the Marquis of Linxiang, who was still the Hu Qi Captain, also stood on the top of the city. He raised his sword and fell with his blood, and his armor was stained with blood. I don’t know how many men on the grassland were killed.
"The lord has not arrived." The centurion looked up at Liu Bei, his eyes calm, and he seemed to have enlightenment in his heart.
"Seeing this banner, it's like a great Shanyu coming in person. Why not get off the horse and avoid death?" Liu Bei sighed in his heart.
The centurion shook the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "The general has been here from Baitan City, probably like me, I am tired." After that, he turned over and dismounted. He pulled out a spare scimitar from his waist with his backhand and walked step by step towards Yan Xing, who held the battle flag in his hand.
The cavalry suddenly shouted and shouted. The centurion stopped and replied loudly.
Remove the burden of a thousand pounds and get a lot of lightness.
Then he took a step and took a knife, howling toward the battle flag.
Yan Xing's drunken eyes suddenly became clear and saw the bottom. He held his knife in front of his chest and bowed his head to salute.
The centurion laughed happily and slashed head-on.
The wind cuts the neck, and Yan Xinglang's eyes are slightly opened.
A flash of sword light.
The centurion freezes his face and splits it into two parts with his left and right body.
Passing past both sides of the long flame horn flag.
Pulling the long blood waterfall, each of them fell to the ground.
Yan Xing, who was covered in blood, gave the centurion who was invincible to the most neat liberation.
Staring at the corpse of the centurion who was split in half, the Xianbei riders were full of respect. They punched their chests and treated them as soon as possible. Then they abandoned their knives and dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"General is above, we are willing to join the tent and be willing to be the driving force!"
"That's great." Liu Bei sighed. The group of Xianbei riders were about 500 people. They just happened to form a song and handed over to the Tibetan Ba. The centurion's last sentence was not translated: "I die, and I surrender."
The centurion was buried with a grand funeral. Liu Bei invited the remaining four centurions to the fort. He asked in detail about the whereabouts of Tuoba Jiefen and Tuoba Qiyi.
When this team of Xianbei thunder cavalry appeared, Liu Bei knew that things were not as simple as he thought. The number was too different. It was reasonable to think about it carefully. It was just a caravan, so why do you need ten thousand elite cavalry?
After asking the four centurions, I further confirmed my previous judgment. According to the governor of Liangzhou, there were more than 10,000 elite cavalry in Tufa Xianbei. But this team of Xianbei cavalry only had five hundred. Where are the remaining thunder cavalry?
Several centurions shook their heads one after another. They said that they had not seen Tuoba Jiefen and Tuoba Yi for several months. And they were the only ones who plundered the caravans with Taiping Road inside and outside.
In other words, it was not only Taipingdao who secretly plundered the caravans under the guise of Tufa Xianbei. Tufa Xianbei also secretly acted indiscriminately under the name of plundering caravans. There were only 500 cavalrymen who went to the Hexi Corridor to plunder the caravans. There were only 10,000 cavalry left. After rushing into the Hexi Corridor, they disappeared.
Both sides use each other and have their own needs.
If Taiping Dao is seeking wealth, what is the Xianbei asking for?
Liu Bei imitated another huge conspiracy. Alas, even the Xianbei learned the routine. You said you didn’t ride a horse and shed sheep well, and you could study the thirty-six strategies of the military strategy.
It turns out that human hearts are not old...
Arranged the four centurions to rest. Liu Bei then walked into the inner room.
When he saw the chief clerk Li Ru, he was playing with the scimitar of the centurion who died in battle.
"What did Wenyou find?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.
Li Ru presented the scimitar to Liu Bei: "Look at it, lord."
The centurion's scimitar was shattered by the soul-chasing crossbow. He pulled out his spare scimitar and dismounted to fight. The backup scimitar in Li Ru's hand was the spare scimitar.
The best Kucha steel knife also has a gap like a saw, covered with scars and reaches the edge of damage. In the words of later generations, the durability has been reduced to zero.
Li Ru said: "The Tufa Xianbei was defeated by Bai Tan's battle, and was rushing all the way, and was as anxious as a dog that was a broken family. Tribes, herdsmen, craftsmen, and even family members were all thrown on the grassland. Just like this steel knife in the hundred battles, it was already as dull as a saw, and it broke with one blow. It was on the verge of collapse. The lord thought, what was the Tufa Xianbei needed most at this time?"
Li Ru's words hit the nail on the head.
As Liu Bei saw before, losing the nourishment of civilization, the Tufa Xianbei was rapidly degenerating into the wilderness. The most urgent thing at this time is to gain the nourishment of civilization and rise up again.
This made me feel like I was feeling: "Supply."
Li Ru smiled and nodded, adding: "As the lord said, the bald tribe needs a territory to rest and repair weapons."
Liu Bei then realized: "So. The Tufa Xianbei needs to occupy a piece of land, and it is best to have a city with full functions. This city that allows them to obtain enough supplies is not only under our eyes, but not known to everyone. In this way, they can rest and recuperate and wait for the future."
Li Ru bowed and said, "What the lord said is very true. If you attack the city under the four counties of Hexi, there will be news. How can the governor of Liangzhou not know? Moreover, the Xianbei light cavalry advanced far away, and there were no weapons to attack the city. How could they capture the important place that our dynasty had worked hard for more than two hundred years? The city is not as beautiful as the beacon. It is definitely not only one or two Taiping Roads to respond, but the entire city can be taken down without realizing it."
"Come on the map." Liu Bei had a faint premonition, and the bald Xianbei was hiding under his nose.
Shi Huan immediately took the map of Xiliang presented by the former Liangzhou governor and opened it to view it.
Liu Bei followed the Hexi Corridor and looked all the way. His eyes suddenly raised: "This place!"
Li Ru smiled slightly. The lord can be called Ming.
Liu Bei looked at his expression, but how could he not know it? Then he smiled and bowed: "Since the chief clerk knew it, why should I make trouble for myself? Don't do this in the future. There is something between you and me, but it doesn't matter."
Li Ru, who was afraid of being jealous of wisdom, was used to being cautious and cautious, and doing everything step by step. He was for himself and others, leaving room for himself. Even if he received a high salary under Liu Bei's command, his character would be difficult to change for a while.
Seeing that Liu Bei was so upright, he was both ashamed and moved, and he looked solemnly and said, "The Confucians know their mistakes."
The lord is the wise ruler!
The four counties in Hexi are too busy to take care of themselves.
Even if the whole story is explained, they will be skeptical. They are eager to stop and it is difficult to send troops. Moreover, the subordinates of the governor of Liangzhou are in Chang'an. It takes a long time to go back and forth. By then, the overall situation has been decided. How can Tufa Xianbei be conquered by the city?
Without further ado.
