The Xiongnu had not yet begun to prepare the troops and horses, and the news reached Jinyang.
"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, this is an attack from the whole country." After Xinling handed over the latest military report, Liang Feng immediately recruited Wenwu to discuss the matter.
Liu Yao made a lot of money this time. Not only did the Xiongnu elite come out, but he also recruited the Qiang and Di tribesmen to raise troops together. In this way, not only the newly recovered Hedong is under the front line, but also the hinterland of Sizhou and Bingzhou are also threatened.
They had been prepared for the Huns to send troops, but it was unexpected that the scale would be so huge. Do you want to withdraw from Hedong and stick to the old land
"This battle is all due to the plague of locusts. The Huns are short of food. It is better to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, guard the city and use up their food and grass. The enemy should destroy himself without attacking." Duan Qin said first.
"It's not right." Zhang Bin shook his head, "This war, the puppets will definitely bring a large number of cavalry. If they avoid the battle, the cavalry will be like locusts crossing the border, driving straight in. Bingzhou can be defended, but Sizhou may not. The Duanbu Xianbei of the prefecture will also be ready to move, and when Jizhou is attacked, it will be a dilemma between the front and the rear."
The Tuoba tribe was starting to run out of food, not to mention the Duan tribe Xianbei who had been involved in the Pingzhou War for more than a year? Once the war with the Xiongnu, this group of Xianbei people will definitely take advantage of the fire and grab a fortune.
For Bingzhou, it is not difficult to assemble a force of the same size. But with this amount of force, it is really not easy to defend against a larger number of enemies who are flanking on both sides.
"What about sending troops to attack Chang'an?" Xi Jian asked aside.
"There are natural dangers in Tongguan, and it is not easy to enter Yongzhou. Besides, Chang'an is a metropolis that is not inferior to Luoyang. As long as there are soldiers to defend it, it is extremely difficult to conquer." Zhang Bin immediately shook his head. When Yi Yan attacked Youzhou, he succeeded in the first battle. But the magic lies in the unexpected. Liu Yao is also battle-hardened and also likes to attack, so he will definitely take this into account. Chang'an is by no means easy to conquer.
"It's better to be led by the last general and stop the enemy army in Hedong." Yi Yan said.
This is also a method, but in this way, it is necessary to fight head-on. If the troops are restrained by the Huns at that time, and Duan Bu suddenly sends troops, how will they respond
The advisors and generals expressed their opinions. On the seat, Liang Feng tapped his knees with his fingers and suddenly said, "I will personally lead the troops to Hedong."
"No!" Several voices sounded in unison.
Yi Yan had already sat up halfway, and said anxiously, "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, how can the lord be in danger?!"
However, Liang Feng raised his hand, stopped him, turned his head to Zhang Bin and said, "Now Yongzhou and Qinzhou, how many Qiang Di believe in Buddhism?"
Among these people, only Zhang Bin did not change his face, and calmly said: "I am afraid that the number of people has exceeded half."
"Since there are so many believers, why not use the Buddha's name?" Liang Feng raised the corner of his lips.
The Qiang people originally believed in Buddhism. Before Zhu Fahu lived in Chang'an for a long time, it attracted the prosperity of Buddhism in Yongzhou. How could Xinling let go of such a place? With the move of the Huns to the capital, the doctrine of the Son of Buddha gradually penetrated into the boundaries of Yongzhou. Two consecutive years of natural and insect disasters have made Bingzhou a mythical coat.
Such mental attack may not be obvious on weekdays, but what about on the battlefield? The Buddha led his troops to fight, but this act alone can shake the hearts of many people.
Seeing that Zhang Bin's expression had not changed, Liang Feng knew that he had already thought of this idea. It's just that there are some things that my servants can't talk about easily.
In that case, let him open the mouth.
Besides, the advantages of leading his troops to fight are not the same.
"If there is news, I will lead the troops to resist the Xiongnu and leave Jinyang. How could Duan Xianbei ignore it? I am afraid that they will send troops immediately. Isn't Tuoba wanting to sell livestock due to lack of food? Don't be so troublesome. Let them use livestock For dry food, cooperate with Jizhou troops and horses to attack Duan Bu. As long as they can win, I will give them food and grass!" Liang Feng said flatly.
The Tuoba tribe was short of food, and everyone knew what the nomads would do when they were short of food. Moreover, the provision of food is second, and the Youzhou occupied by the Duan clan is not a piece of fat for the Tuoba clan? With the help of Tuoba's elite soldiers, it was not too difficult to repel Duan.
In this way, he is no longer facing a single battlefield. However, who said that Bingzhou does not have the strength to fight two battles at the same time
Just making such a decision is still too risky.
Yi Yan's expression has completely changed: "The battlefield is nothing like talking about soldiers on paper. What if there is an accident? The lord must not fight!"
In that voice, the calmness was lost, almost not like the attitude of a courtier.
Liang Feng looked up, looked directly at those gray-blue eyes, and shook his head: "There is no foolproof way in this world. If you avoid war, it will be a disaster for the three states. It was the same for Wang Jun back then, and it is still the same for the fake Chinese now!"
"Master..."
Yiyan wanted to say something, Liang Feng showed his robe sleeves and stood up: "Zhang joined the army, you are going to arrange the dispatch of troops. Duan is in charge of the rear of the food and grass. And the internal affairs of the state, it will be transferred to the middle generation of Xi Zhi. The order goes on, Sanzhou Enter the wartime martial law!"
After all, he didn't stop, and strode out. Seeing the man's resolute back, Yi Yan gritted his teeth and chased after him.
One after the other, the two figures disappeared. Zhang Bin retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and said to his colleagues, "I'm afraid this battle will be a bit more difficult than the battle against Youzhou in the past. The lord will lead the army, and the morale will be boosted. I hope you all work together to defend against the strong enemy. …”
Hearing the hurried footsteps behind him, Liang Feng sighed in his heart, this kid really won't give up easily.
A hand grabbed the sleeve of his robe suddenly, Liang Feng paused and turned his head to look back. After just a few steps, Yi Yan was already sweating on his forehead, grabbed his hand, and clenched it tightly: "My lord, this is a match against hundreds of thousands of people, not like usual. How can you risk yourself? "
"Because it's a big battle, as the head coach, it's safer." Liang Feng's voice remained unchanged.
This is a big truth, as long as the army is fighting against each other, it rarely happens that the coach is killed. Because there must be a central army around the big tent, and there are personal soldiers within the central army, how can we break through the siege and enter the commanding tent? Once the situation is not good, the Chinese army will retreat, and there are still many soldiers and horses covering the front and rear.
Taking the head of an admiral in a chaotic army is something that only happens in jokes and legends. This is why, in history, there have been many failures in the personal expedition, but there is only one case of the change in Tumubao.
However, these words were of no use to Yiyan: "That was also a war! Swords and guns have no eyes, not to mention that there are many Huns cavalry, in case there is..."
"Yiyan!" Liang Feng snorted, "How many times have you led troops, galloped thousands of miles, and fought alone. Did I ever say something?"
"That's different..." Yi Yan wanted to say something.
"That is your duty. I believe that you can do what you are supposed to do and defeat the enemy." Liang Feng said with a pause, "Now, it's time for me to do my duty. With me alone, it is possible to avoid success. Tens of thousands of innocent people died in vain, and it can prevent countless lives from being ruined. How can I avoid the war? You have your responsibilities, and I have mine. Do you not trust me, or do you not trust yourself?"
His voice was harsher than ever. Yi Yan's words choked in his throat. He hadn't seen such a master for a long, long time. However, the fact is that when the two met, they were on a small battlefield. One person commands, one person defeats the enemy, and fights side by side.
Seeing the change in Yiyan's expression, Liang Feng sighed softly and held his arm with his backhand: "This is why the battle is so important, you can't miss the military plane because of your personal feelings. In this battle, I am the coach, but you are the general, how? Winning, how to defeat the enemy, and how to save the lives of the people in the three states are the only things you should consider."
rather than the safety of one person.
"The lord is the lifeblood of Bingzhou. Once you fight, you will definitely attract enemies..." Yi Yan closed his eyes and suppressed his voice
That was what he was most afraid of. If the Buddha's son can be killed, the entire Bingzhou will collapse, and the Xiongnu will regain the "mandate of heaven". This is such an attractive bait. The Huns' offensive will definitely be different from the past.
Liang Feng smiled: "Then use me as bait, ambush, lure the enemy, and attack him unprepared. Just like the handsome chess in military chess, just one piece can produce thousands of changes. The less calm the enemy, the better our hope of winning. Great. And this will also contain the enemy, so that they cannot divide their troops and endanger other counties."
This is a lucrative method, attacking the heart, enticing the enemy, and concentrating the military forces of both sides as much as possible to fight a large-scale battle. Only in this way can the puppet Han troops and horses be assembled in one place, so that other counties in the territory can be spared from war. And this battle is at stake. Just like Guandu, like Chibi, a battle determines the survival or destruction of a force.
And in this battle, he has the determination to win and the hope of winning!
Those black eyes shone brightly, like the brightest stars in the summer night. His lord has never been afraid, no matter how powerful the enemy is.
My heart, which had been clenched all the time, gradually stopped trembling. Holding the slightly cold hand, Yi Yan slowly knelt down and knelt in front of Liang Feng: "The last general is willing to be the forerunner of the Lord."
He hadn't knelt before him like this for a long, long time. The same memory reverberated in the back of my mind. Liang Feng took a step forward, supported the opponent's shoulder, and took the man into his arms: "I will also cheer for you, and watch you break through the enemy line again."
It is different from the first battle of Liangfu, and it is also different from defending Jinyang alone. This time, he will go to the battlefield and fight alongside him.
