Chapter 617
Chapter 609 Binglin Xianbei Palace
After three days of chasing the retreating cavalry of all ethnic groups in the steppe by the Luke-Smashing Army, the operation of the Luke-Splitting Army on the grassland did not end there. Liu Jiqin led more than 3.3 million troops into the territory of the Xianbei tribe. All the Xianbei tribes encountered launched an attack.
The more than 3.3 million troops include 18 cavalry brigades and four infantry brigades of the Prairie Army, 16 cavalry brigades and six infantry brigades of the Beiting Army, these 34 cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades. After a fierce battle with the grassland coalition forces, there are still about 1.27 million people.
Two infantry brigades of the Prairie Corps and Beiting Corps were left in Xinning City to prevent other grassland people from killing another carbine. In addition, Xinning City was stationed with the 100,000 garrison troops of Beiting Duhu Mansion. In the fierce battle with the grassland coalition forces, the 100,000 garrison troops have never had a chance to appear.
The five cavalry brigades of the Guards and the five cavalry brigades of the local army evacuated from the Donghu territory were all temporarily withdrawn to Xinning City according to Liu Ji’s order.
In addition to the 1.27 million troops of the Prairie Army and Beiting Army, Liu Ji also brought nearly 170,000 Tang Dynasty Sword Soldiers, more than 96,000 Wei Guowu soldiers, and more than 35,000 soldiers who fell into the camp. , More than 24,000 Han dynasty tiger army, more than 18,000 Tang dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, and about 1.7 million nomadic cavalry of various races conscripted from Beiting Duhu Mansion.
Less than half a month after Liu Ji led the army into the grasslands of the Xianbei tribe, dozens of Xianbei tribes, large and small, suffered an extinction. These Xianbei tribes were all looted by the Xianbei army. The Wan Xianbei were killed, and nearly 800,000 Xianbei became the captives of the Papa Army, but the loss of the Papa Army was less than 5,000.
Murong Ke, the Xianbei great khan, originally hoped that the Xianbei would pay some price as the last time, and the Palu army would settle down. Unfortunately, this time Liu Ji’s appetite was too great. He immediately asked the Xianbei for about 3 million square kilometers. Xianbei’s grassland occupies almost half of the Xianbei’s territory. Of course, the Xianbei is unwilling to agree, so the Xianbei Khan Murongke ordered the Xianbei’s tribes and their dependent ethnic groups to do their best to send more to the Xianbei royal court. The cavalry of Xianbei, Murong Ke, the Xianbei Great Khan, is preparing to start a decisive battle with the Broken Army in the Xianbei Palace.
The Xianbei cavalry who retreated from Xinning City and the cavalry units of the various subordinate tribes of Xianbei were all brought back to the palace of Xianbei by Murongke, the great Khan of Xianbei.
However, the troops led by Liu Ji marched very fast. On July 13th in the 432nd year of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji and his army arrived near the royal palace of the Xianbei people north of the Yinle Mountains with more than three million troops. At this time, the Xianbei royal court only gathered 1.4 million Xianbei cavalry, and nearly half a million cavalry from the Chiluo, Hexi, Yuzhen, Guhun, Dingling and other tribes attached to Xianbei.
Inside a felt bag in the royal court of the Bei Xianbei clan, the Xianbei Zuoxian king Murongxiong said bitterly to the Xianbei great Khan Murong Ke: “Father Khan, the speed of the army is too fast. At present, we only gather in the royal court. There are less than 1.9 million cavalry, but the force of the Sundering Army is more than 3 million, many of which are the elite of the Sundering Army. If the Sundering Army can give us another month, it would be great. At that time, our Xianbei tribe could gather at least four million cavalry in the royal court.”
The Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke immediately said in a deep voice: “Order all men over the age of 12 and under 65 in the royal court to join the army. If this is the case, at least a few hundred thousand more cavalry can be brought out to break the army. If we don’t give us time, we Xianbei will grab some time in the hands of the Papai Army. As long as we can form a confrontation with the Papai Army in the royal court, there will be more and more Xianbei cavalry and affiliates. The cavalry of the clan arrives at the royal court, and it is not always certain who will die!”
In order to deal with the Xianbei army, all the men over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty in the Xianbei royal court have been incorporated into the Xianbei cavalry unit.
Zuo Xian Wang Murongxiong hesitated and said: “Father Khan, can’t we talk with the Polui Army? Otherwise, even if our Xianbei can defeat the Polui Army’s more than three million troops in the royal court, our Xianbei will also The vitality is badly hurt!”
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke smiled bitterly and said: “The son-in-law of Ben Great Khan has so much appetite this time. He wants half of the grassland of our Xianbei. How can we Xianbei agree to such harsh conditions!”
Zuo Xian Wang Murongxiong opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly, without saying anything. The Xianbei really couldn’t agree to the conditions of the Puppet Army. It seems that the Xianbei can only fight the Puppet Army in the royal court to the end. !
The Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke immediately asked, “Do the Huns and Khitans have any answers?”
After the Xianbei army entered the grassland to which the Xianbei belonged, the Xianbei sent a letter of assistance to the Huns and the Khitans, hoping that the Huns and the Khitans would lend a helping hand.
Zuo Xian Wang Murongxiong shook his head and said: “Father Khan, the Xiongnu and the Khitan tribes, there is no news from them. The two tribes did not intend to send troops to reinforce our Xianbei tribe. We Xianbei can only rely on ourselves this time. .”
The Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke gritted his teeth and said: “The Huns and the Khitan people seem to want to stand on the sidelines, don’t they know the truth about the fact that our Xianbei people are swallowed by the Squadron, then we will It’s the Huns or Khitan’s turn!”
At this time, in a huge felt bag in the royal court of the Huns, Luan Tisu, king of the Huns Zuoxian, frowned and asked Luanti, the Hun’s profuse sweat: “Father Khan, do the Huns really not send soldiers to support the Xianbei? If Xianbei The clan has been annexed by the Sundering Army, and it will be even more difficult to drive the Sundering Army out of the grassland in the future!”
Luanti shook his head with a wry smile and said: “This time our seven powerful clans once again gathered tens of millions of cavalry, but in the end they were defeated by the Sundering Army, and even more than half of the cavalry troops were damaged. The Xianbei tribe will not be swallowed by the Xianbei army, and it will be difficult to drive the Xianbei army out of the grassland in the future!”
Zuo Xian Wang Luan Tisu then frowned and said, “Father Khan, could it be that the Xianbei tribe was annexed by the Puppet Army?”
Luanti hesitated for a while and said: “After all, the Xianbei still have millions of cavalry. It is not so easy for the Xianbei army to annex the Xianbei. Moreover, this time the crusade against the Xianbei army, we Xiongnu The clan has suffered heavy losses. The cavalry of our clan alone has lost millions, and the various clan attached to our Huns have also lost nearly 800,000. Even if we the Huns want to rescue the Xianbei, we are still powerless!”
After a pause, Luan Timao said again: “I hope that the Xianbei can hold on this time, and it is best to fight against the impoverished army!”
And in a huge felt bag of the Khitan royal tribe, the Khitan great Khan Yelvdilie said in a deep voice to the Khitan Zuoxian King Yelumingbao and the Khitan Youxian King Yelu Chuji: “This time the Xianbei army has invaded the Xianbei tribe. Obviously, we want to annex the Xianbei tribe, but our Khitan tribe has suffered a great loss in this battle against the Xianbei tribe, and we no longer have the strength to support the Xianbei tribe.”
The Khitan Zuo Xian King Ye Lu Mingbao frowned and said: “Khan, at present, our strong clans on the prairie can be described as having cold lips and teeth. If the Xianbei tribe is allowed to be annexed by the Xianbei army, our Khitan tribe may also face being annexed by the warriors danger.”
Yelu Chuji, the right sage king of Khitan, also said: “King Zuo Xian made sense. You can’t let the Lulu Army just swallow the Xianbei in one bite!”
The Khitan Khan Yelvdilie sighed and said, “The Huns have decided not to send troops to rescue the Xianbei. What can we do with the Khitans alone?”
When the Khitan Zuoxian King Yelu Mingbao and the Khitan Youxian King Yelu Chuji heard that the Huns were not ready to send troops, they immediately shook their heads with a wry smile, and stopped talking about sending troops to rescue the Xianbei.
On the evening of July 13th, Liu Ji gathered many civil servants and generals under his command in the army camp south of the Xianbei Imperial Court. Among these civil servants and generals, there were a few more new faces.
After three days of chasing and killing the cavalry of all ethnic groups in the grassland coalition forces, and gaining more than ten days of entering the grasslands of the Xianbei tribe, Liu Ji’s soul value has accumulated to 560,000 points.
Liu Ji immediately tentatively summoned top military commanders twice, and Liu Ji’s luck suddenly improved. The two top military commanders summoned had a strength of 99 points. This also meant that Liu Ji was commanding again. Get two top civil servants.
Lu Junyi, with a force value of 99, intelligence value of 76, and commander value of 79, the leader of Liangshan in the Song Dynasty, nicknamed “Jade Qilin”, has a high martial arts, and is unparalleled in the world with sticks. The steward Li Gu and the servant Yan Qing were originally a wealthy businessman, wealthy man, and member of the famous Hebei province. Wu Yong and others took advantage of the adultery between Li Gu and the Jia family to make Ji make money on Liangshan, and later became the second leader of Liangshan, Lu Junyihe After Song Jiang was recruited together, he conquered Liao Kingdom, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, officials to martial arts doctors, and Luzhou comfort envoys.
Cai Jing and other treacherous officials summoned Lu Junyi to return to Beijing and put mercury in the food given to him by the emperor. Lu Junyi was too painful to ride a horse, so he had to take a boat back to Luzhou, where he fell into the water and drowned on the way.
Wang Yansheng, with a force value of 99, an intelligence value of 72, and a commander value of 80, was a hero of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. In his early years, Wang Yansheng served in the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou. The capital of the Ninth Army from the Right was Yuhou, and the capital of the Second Army of the Iron Knights was the capital of the Second Army. He followed Zhou Shizong to conquer the Southern Tang and defeat the Qidan.
In the first year of Jianlong, Wang Yansheng participated in the Chenqiao mutiny, supported Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and punished General Zhou Han Tong. He was awarded the commanding envoy of the left arm of the iron cavalry. Soon after blackmailing the prime minister Wang Pu, he was demoted from the capital and out of the Tang Dynasty. Zhou, and later guarded Shenzhou, Fangzhou, and Yuanzhou. After opening the treasure for seven years, Wang Yansheng died of illness in Qianzhou on his way back to the imperial court.
After Liu Ji summoned Lu Junyi and Wang Yansheng, he immediately consumed 400,000 soul points. He bought two Xisui Famao pills from the system and rewarded them to Lu Junyi and Wang Yansheng respectively. After they took the Xisui Famao pills, , Have been promoted to peerless military commanders, the strength value has become 100 points, and the system also rewarded Liu Ji two top civil servants.
Huang Ba, with a strength of 48, an intelligence of 93, and a commander of 83, was a minister of the Western Han Dynasty, serving the three dynasties of Emperor Wu, Zhao Emperor and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Huang Ba studied law since he was a child and had little ambition. He served successively as Henan prefect, Ting Weizheng, Yangzhou governor, Yingchuan prefect, and other local officials. Emperor Xuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty for three years, served as prime minister, feudalized as a prince, and governed the court and society, three years of Ganlu, Huang Ba died, posthumous posthumous title Ding Hou .
Huang Ba is good at governing counties and counties. He is a clean and honest official, generous outside and bright in the inside. He is well-mannered and has outstanding political achievements. Later generations often regarded Huang Ba and Gong Sui as representatives of “xun officials” and called them “Gong Huang”.
Gong Sui, 45 for force, 90 for intelligence, and 80 for commander-in-chief, was an official of the Western Han Dynasty. He was the chief officer of Changyi country at first and served the king of Changyi Liu He. Liu He misbehaved. Gong Sui repeatedly persuaded him. After Liu He succeeded to the throne, he became extravagant and lustful. Gong Sui repeatedly persuaded him, but Liu He still did not make corrections. He was eventually abolished for 27 days in his reign. More than 200 members of Liu He’s subordinates were punished and killed. Only Gong Sui and Lieutenant Wang Yang were saved from death due to repeated persuasion. But he was sentenced to four years imprisonment for shaving his hair. After Emperor Xuan of the Han succeeded to the throne, Gong Sui served as the prefect of Bohai. Gong Sui put down the thieves’ rebellion and encouraged Nongsang.
Lu Junyi, Wang Yansheng, Huang Ba, and Gong Sui are all in Liu Ji’s tent at this time. In addition to them, there are dozens of civil servants and generals in Liu Ji’s tent , It was packed full of handsome accounts that were originally not small.
Liu Ji smiled and said to the civil servants and generals under his command: “According to the information obtained from Heishuitai, now the Xianbei tribe has gathered less than two million troops in their royal court. If the royal court of the Xianbei tribe is captured, then the entire Xianbei tribe may be taken into the bag by our smashing army!”
At this time, Zhang Liang said: “Master, we want to capture the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, and it is best to make a quick battle. This time our marching speed is very fast, so that the Xianbei tribe did not gather enough troops in the royal court. Our smashing army and the Xianbei army are at a stalemate in their royal court. Then the Xianbei’s reinforcements will continue to rush to the Xianbei’s royal court. According to the strength of the Xianbei and its affiliated tribes, we will come together for two more. A million cavalry is not difficult.”
Liu Ji nodded and said, “The reason why we marched so fast this time is to capture the royal court of the Xianbei tribe before the Xianbei tribe can gather all their forces. Now our smashing army has come to the army of the royal court of Xianbei. , It exceeded three million in full, and the Xianbei people gathered less than two million cavalry troops in their royal court. This is a good opportunity for us to defeat the Xianbei. Early on, we launched an offensive against the royal court of Xianbei, striving to conquer the royal court of Xianbei in the shortest possible time!”
