Chapter 647 I'm Really Pulling

Unlike Geng Guang's anger, when Wu Han saw Juyan Jiaqu full of old people and injured corpses, his emotions did not fluctuate much.

In the years of chaos, Wu Han had seen too many corpses, and many of them were killed by him. As a notorious "butcher" in the Wei army, Wu Han's troops were famous for their poor military discipline and did a lot of bad things when they fought in the Central Plains. Although they dared not slaughter the city, in the wealthy Hebei, they went to the village to grab a robbery and then robbed them. If the other party resisted, the Yuyang soldiers would angrily kill people, and throw them away in the wilderness.

Of course, such a general cannot become a good man if he changes his place. He just changes his targets of combat and aims his butcher's knife at the other race rather than the original race.

But even the most slutty Wei army could not do anything to tether two or three thousand old men and women. The Huns were originally vulgar and had no psychological barriers to killing the elderly from other races.

Because there were so many dead people, Wu Han just needed to squat on the edge of the gully, fiddle with scabbards, and look at the color of the wound, and then he could say with certainty: "It must have died two days ago."

In other words, two days ago, the Huns passed by here, probably because they found that the Wei army was chasing them, so they would not be able to keep up with the group of old and weak people, so they hurried northward.

So now, where has the main force in the right side of the Huns been running?

Wu Han stood up and looked northeast. Their location was "Jaqu Pass", which was a marquis under the jurisdiction of Juyan Duwei's Mansion. It was on par with the township. Juyan City was still more than ten miles away.

The vanguard and scout were seeking enemies everywhere and entering Juyan City. However, the Huns did not stay here, nor did they intend to use the city to fight the Wei army. They abandoned them without hesitation. When Wu Han drove his horse into Juyan City, the city was quite lonely and empty. Only the local commander and the marquis' heads were swaying in the wind. They were killed by the Huns a few months ago, and their heads were cut off and hung on the city gate, allowing Hu Ji and crows to eat, which had already been dried up.

Juyan Duwei was an old friend of Dou You. He was quite sad, but Wu Han's expression still did not change at all, and he only allowed him to be buried with a happy life.

Wu Han held an emergency combat meeting in Juyan City: "According to the report of the vanguard Mengze tribe, the Xiongnu Youxian King's tribe brought nearly 10,000 prisoners, and had countless food and utensils. He was north of Yancheng, where he was in the northern border."

Hearing this, the generals and the captains were quite happy: "The Northern Frontier is only half a day away. As long as the forward bit the right tail of the Huns, the main force can start fighting tomorrow, so that the Hu people will never return!"

However, Dou You, the prefect of Wuwei who assisted Wu Han to send troops, was hesitant. He cautiously stated: "The latter general, this may also be the trick of the barbarians. Since the Baideng encirclement, the Xiongnu liked to show weakness and lure the enemy, so that the Han army could go deeper and then turn back to attack."

The Huns advance when they see profits, and retreat when they are unfavorable. It is a forced one to fight a group. They like to pull on the ground on weekdays. In the military manual, the Fifth Reunion calls the Huns the tactics of "pull".

There are many people who suffer losses under this move. From Gongsun He and Li Guang, who were defeated after Mayi's plan, to Li Ling, who set out from Juyan and were surrounded by the Huns and surrendered to Li Guangli, the biggest wave was Li Guangli. The brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han was trapped by the Huns' tactic of luring the enemy more than once.

In the nearest terms, wasn’t the “General Swallowing Hu” who Wang Mang had high hopes alone and was siege and wiped out by the entire army?

So Dou You advised everyone to be cautious. If the main force of the Bingzhou military cavalry was here, Hexi would be over.

However, Wu Han told everyone a story.

"When I was escaping the pursuit of the Xin Dynasty in Youzhou, Wuhuan often invaded the Passerby, and Yuyang and Youbeiping were the most affected."

"The governor of Yuyang County is cowardly. Whenever Wuhuan arrives, he only takes expulsion from the country, but he dares not pursue it deeply. As the saying goes, "Wuhuan is cunning. If he is attacked by him, he is afraid that the soldiers will not be able to return." Therefore, the so-called protection of the territory and the people is actually escorting the Wuhuan people from afar. After a while, Wuhuan knew that he was stupid and weak, so he became more and more unscrupulous, and sometimes even went hundreds of miles to show off his power under the county city."

"I was in the Yaoyang County Commander of Yuyang County with Gai Yan, but I couldn't stand it. So I got up and galloped out with the heroes in the county, chasing Wuhuan for more than a hundred miles, beheading nearly a hundred captives, and regaining a lot of money and population. Since then, even if the Wuhuan people enter the frontier, they dare not approach Yaoyang County."

After saying that, Wu Han said, "The Huns and Wuhuan are both Rongdi, and they have the intention of being a tiger and wolf. If they do not hurt each other, even if the Huns leave, they will be able to sleep for several months. By the time the next autumn begins, the Huns will inevitably invade the barrier again! At that time, the Guanyan area is free from helping the country, and there is no help inside or outside. Today, the tragic situation of the Jiaqu will be repeated! Dou Taishou clan is all in Hexi. Should they be able to sleep forever? Should they not dare to peek at the right wise king every year? Or will they be disturbed by him every year and unable to sleep?"

Wu Han’s words were indeed reasonable, and this was indeed related to the interests of the Hexi gentry. Dou You briefly remained silent and replied: “Hexi soldiers are willing to follow the general to defeat Hu!”

"Good!" Wu Han laughed. In fact, he didn't care about the life and death of Hexi! This battle must be fought, and there was only one reason: if the Huns were asked to leave with tens of thousands of captured people under his nose, how could General Wu raise his head in the frontier in the future?

And at this moment, a scout came outside to report: "The rear general, the vanguard Mengze, has driven his troops to the northern pass and is fighting with the Xiongnu rear team!"

...

The rivers in the weak water are covered with many scattered channels, as if they were divided into capillaries. Juyan is also very similar to human lung lobes, divided into east and west parts, which are called East Lake and West Lake by locals.

Juyan’s main city is bordered by the East Lake, using it as a barrier. The West Lake is shaped like a moon born on the fifth day, which is the shape of a crescent moon. The northern border is like a star held by the crescent moon. The wall stands in the east and between the two lakes, which is the only way to travel south and north.

However, the barriers that used to defend the enemy outside the territory are now occupied by the Huns. The small city was full of Xiongnu archers wearing pointed and sticky hair on their heads. The city had just experienced a fierce battle, and the blood stained the sand red. This was the troops that the Right Xian King arranged in the last place. When attacked, they were trying to defend the barrier and block the Wei army. However, the other side was in full force. The Huns outside the city subconsciously ran away, leaving only a few hundred unlucky guys trapped in the barrier.

After hurriedly arrived here with three battalions, he bypassed the corpses of our enemies and us on the ground, and finally found his subordinates covered with blood stars. Geng Guang was instructing his soldiers to chop the poplar trees to make a ladder.

Meng Ze walked over and scolded him, "Geng Yingzheng, General Wu and I have not given the order yet, why do you attack rashly without regard to military discipline?"

It was Geng Guang who launched this battle. Meng Ze gave him the task to investigate the enemy situation. Unexpectedly, this kid went straight to the scene!

When Meng Ze heard the news, he was shocked and immediately got on his horse, because there were at least one or two thousand cavalrymen in the Huns, while Geng Guang's camp only had five hundred cavalry. If something happened to Geng Guang, how could he explain to the general of the chariot and cavalry?

Fortunately, the result seemed to be bad, and Geng Guang was neither humble nor arrogant, and stated his reasons: "The captives plundered a lot of people and supplies, and they were reluctant to give up. The speed of travel was slow. Even if they killed the old and weak, they could only travel for a few days a day, and our army's vanguard could catch up. This northern border is located between the two lakes, and it is the closest road to the north. If we are blocked here, the Right King will be able to retreat calmly."

"Although the Hu people were numerous, after seeing our army's strength, they were already like frightened birds. The officials rushed from the south and raised a lot of sand and dust, which made the Hu people mistakenly think that there were many people coming, so they could only fight and retreat, abandon the northern border."

This trick to scare the enemy really worked. Meng Ze breathed a sigh of relief, put away his scolding, and formally regarded Geng Guang as an adult, and discussed the subsequent battle with him: "There are still hundreds of Huns, but they are not good at defending the city. We should quickly capture this place."

Geng Guang had his own thoughts: "The generals and the subordinates thought that they could just leave a camp to keep a star to the northern border."

"The ancients said that a Han can fight against the Five Barbarians. If a horse is gone, even ten Huns cannot defeat a member of the Wei army. One battalion is enough to confront him. He handed over the Hexi soldiers who arrived later. The main force of the vanguard should continue to pursue the Huns and win time for the battle between General Wu!"

"No!" Mengze subconsciously opposed: "There are tens of thousands of cavalrymen in the Right Xianwang tribe. Even if we have to be distracted from guarding the prisoners, how could our mere brigade fight?"

It’s better to be more secure. Take down the barrier and cut off the head of the Hu people inside. With a little polish on the pen and pen, you can also make a proud victory. As for the tens of thousands of Hexi people, they have tried their best...

Unexpectedly, Geng Guang asked back: "I heard that General Meng is from Xin Qinzhong and lives in the north of the river?"

Mengze glanced at him, wondering what this meant: "That's it."

Geng Guang mentioned an old story: "When Guang was young, he heard that when he was young, the barbarians invaded the barriers, and the north of the river was the Huns' riots. The officials of the Xin Dynasty hid in the city barrier and did not dare to open the door. Thousands of refugees in the Xin Qin Dynasty were driven to the ferry and were wandering."

"At this time, the Holy Emperor was guarding the New Qin Dynasty. Although his official position was only Sima, when his colleagues stopped, he led hundreds of people to cross the river and attacked the Huns in front of the canal, thus saving the lives of the refugees. I think General Meng was just joining the army?"

"My brother often teaches that when our dynasty was in its inception, Your Majesty took it as his responsibility to save the people from water and fire, and to punish the people for punishment. This is not a false statement! Today, tens of thousands of people in Hexi are trapped in Hu Chen, and Guang is a general of Wei, and he dare not not save him!"

His ambition is to be Huo Qubing! If his brother is here, he will rush forward without hesitation when he sees this situation?

Meng Ze was silent by this question. He had many reasons to refuse, and could also scold Geng Guang for being obedient, but this past incident made his mind turbulent.

That battle was the fame battle of the fifth reunion. Meng Ze also joined the team of the fifth reunion with his sword as a commoner and regained the new Qinzhong with the fifth reunion. Once upon a time, he was as fearless as Geng Guang.

It's been ten years, ten years? What has sucked his fighting spirit, what has made him hesitate, is it satisfying the "Earl" named by the emperor, is it the endless salary and benefits of openness and secretness every year, or is it the thirty years old, and after having a wife and children, he indulged in a generous life, becoming more and more timid?

Close his eyes, and he seemed to still hear that when the fifth reunion embarked on his journey ten years ago, the wooden boats were walking through the waves, the long oars rose and fell, slapped on the river, and the sound of water was sensation.

After a while, Meng Ze opened his eyes, patted Geng Guang's shoulder, and smiled and said, "Of course I remember that day, Meng Ze will never forget it."

"That day, when His Majesty led the crowd to attack Hu, he only said one thing to everyone."

"Cross the river!"

...

"What a Geng Guang! He has a bit of a good look!"

After Wu Han learned the battle report sent back by the forward, he was so happy that he slapped his helmet. As long as the forward chased and dragged the Huns, the main force would have enough time to arrive.

No, it's not that simple. Wu Han has been in the border for a long time. In Geng Guang's eyes, the Huns were a whole evil Rongdi, but Wu Han knew that the Huns were also infinitely different.

"The internal struggle of the Huns is more powerful than the generals of the Great Wei Dynasty. There are many factions under the command of the Right Xianwang, so you will never hesitate to abandon friendly troops. According to the Hu people's convention, the Right Xianwang will most likely leave a little king whom he usually doesn't like to cut off his superiors and die, while the rest of the troops will continue to rush the prisoners back to the grassland."

Just this, it would not hurt the right side. Wu Han decided to take another risk and arranged for Dou You to say: "Premier Dou, generals of Hexi soldiers, passed the front and wiped out the Northern Pass, and chased the Xiongnu rear team, so that the Hulu thought he had a plan."

Dou You deeply agreed with this: Yes, within the Wei army, factional disputes will never be less than those of the Xiongnu. He did not trust Wu Han, and was afraid that the general would still resent that he and the clans of Hexi, together with the Eighth Jiao, had joined forces with the Eighth Jiao to write a letter to drive him away. He wanted to deliberately let the "miscellaneous army" of the soldiers of Hexi go to die, so he asked carefully: "That general..."

Dou You's situation is small. Although Wu Han is not very scheming, he can at least distinguish between priorities.

"This general led ten thousand cavalry to walk along Juyan Jersey Lake."

Wu Han's hand drew a big circle in the air: "Finally, it appears in front of the Youxian King's tribe! If you want to catch the fish, catch the big one!"
