【Chapter 973】 Kill the wolf, the battle of the wolf mountain

As the Eastern Expedition Army successfully reached an alliance with the central Xianbei, the Xianbei royal court was preserved and a great war disappeared. {

When signing the contract, Li Li fulfilled his promise and gave Ke Bineng a "deserved gift". Ke Bineng was also quite sincere and was willing to send 20,000 troops as a front army, to set the vanguard for the army and march into Wuhuan.

After the two sides reconciled, the 100,000 troops rested for three days. Ke Bineng warmly invited Li Li to the tent to attend the banquet for three consecutive days, every day.

During this period, Kebi was frequently mobilized to leave the city, but Li Li ignored it and ignored it. This was expected and also considered an additional condition in the covenant, and they were tacitly informed.

After Que Ji died, his tribe had no leader, and it was the best time to send troops to annex his tribe. The reason why Ke Bineng asked for a three-day rest was this. Taking advantage of this, Ke Bineng quickly sent troops to annex the Que Ji tribe, further strengthened his strength, and then sent troops to advance eastward. While jointly sending troops with Li Li, he could also wait for an opportunity to annex some small Wuhuan tribes, and even swallowed the tribe and territory of Suli, the leader of the Xianbei in the east, in one bite.

Ke Bineng's many plots did not hide from Li Li, and there was no need to hide them. Even if he didn't say them, Li Li knew them well. It was precisely because Ke Bineng had many demands and ambitious that he prompted him to take the initiative to ask for peace, attempt to turn war into sacrificial silk, and become ally with Li Li, and both sides benefited each other and each took the needs.

At present, Ke Bineng is a vested interest. He aggregated the Queji tribe at the beginning of the alliance, which made the tribe's power grow by 30% in a short period of time, which can be said to have achieved great success. However, the Western Liang army under Li Li stood by and watched, and watched the Ke Bineng tribe grow rapidly.

In the morning of the fourth day, a hundred thousand troops set out to set up camp. Ke Bineng led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry as the vanguard of the front army and led the first march. Zhao Yun's troops were in charge of the unshuang cavalry, followed closely behind, Gongsun Zan and Yan Rou led 40,000 infantry and cavalry as the central army, and the two generals Xu Huang and Ma Dai led 20,000 infantry as the rear army, and escorted the food, grass and supplies.

At this point, after nearly ten days of delay in the Xianbei royal court, the army of the Eastern Expedition continued to send troops to Wuhuan as planned.

The signing of the alliance under the city allowed Kebi, the leader of the central Xianbei, to have a rare opportunity to develop and grow. The army of the Eastern Expedition received a new force.

This move seems absurd, but it is not. Ke Bineng is determined to unify the Xianbei tribes and become the second Xianbei king and the overlord of the grassland after Tan Shihuai. When the Han army was at the city, he was lucky enough to die with the Taoist fellow Taoist, and he judged the situation and took the initiative to reconcile with the Han army and formed an alliance. He tried to develop and grow rapidly with the Han army's power to accelerate the pace of unifying the grassland tribes. In the whole matter, Ke Bineng's performance was remarkable, which was completely resolute and decisive, wise and wise. However, he ignored the most obvious truth, that is, alliances also require strength as the basis. Without strong enough strength, how can we talk about alliances?

The Kebineng tribe gathered a total of more than 30,000 soldiers who controlled the string. Even if the Queji tribe was annexed, its military strength would not exceed 50,000. With this little force alone, what qualifications would he have to form an alliance with Li Li? Therefore, rather than saying that Kebineng formed an alliance with Li Li, he had already led his troops to surrender to Li Li and had already bowed down. Therefore, the alliance between them was called "the alliance under the city" by Zhuge Liang, which was just a more decent surrender to Kaicheng. Because of this, Li Li did not force Kebineng, and did not send troops to the Xianbei royal court for the time being, nor did he take over the Xianbei troops in the central part, and was still led by Kebineng. But this was temporary, leaving a little transition time for Kebineng and the leaders of each tribe to learn to adapt. After the Wuhuan tribe was resolved, it was time to see the truth.

Li Li has long been accustomed to this situation, and he is as light as he is, and as calm as he is calm. The Chang'an Rebellion back then was far more complicated than it is now, but Li Li was the one who laughed at the end. Compared with the Chang'an Rebellion, Ke Bi can be smart and wants to take advantage of him. It has to be said that Ke Bi can be really brave, but he is a little blind and arrogant. He thought that Li Li was like the Han people before, greedy for military achievements and blindly pursued his achievements. In fact, he looked down on the grassland territory at all. He would definitely return to the Han after the war and no longer involve the affairs of the grassland tribes. It was precisely this mentality that prompted him to be willing to act as a front pawn. After obtaining immediate benefits, he excitedly led the Xianbei cavalry into the Wuhuan territory.

If everything is true as Ke Bi Neng thought, then he will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary after the war. Once the Han army withdrew from the grassland, he will be the king of the grassland, and it is entirely possible that Tan Shihuai’s former glory may even be revived. Unfortunately, this is just his wishful thinking and conjecture. What is the final result, it is still unknown.

On the sixth day of the sixth day of the 100,000 troops heading east to Wuhuan, they encountered heavy rain again, forcing the army to stop advancing and station on the spot for rest.

The purpose of this march into Wuhuan was to directly attack Liucheng, the old nest of Wuhuan. Li Li was determined to win this. However, since the army left the customs, it had encountered heavy rains continuously, almost three days light rain, five days heavy rain, and half a month of heavy storm, which seriously hindered the speed of the march and delayed the march. After each heavy rain, the army had to rest for at least three days and could not continue to march until the ground hardened. The continuous heavy rain not only slowed down the march speed, but also greatly increased the food and grass pressure of the 100,000 troops, making the eastern expedition difficult and miserable.

The most helpless thing is that it is the rainy season now, and there is already a lot of rain, and this year is even worse than the past. What can I do?

"Manpower is sometimes poor, and God's will is hard to measure!" Just as the gathering of the handsome tent was over, Li Li walked outside the tent, looked at the heavy rain in front of him, and sighed softly.

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun stayed at the end and left the tent. They heard Li Li's sigh just before they walked far away, so they stopped immediately and walked lightly to Li Li.

Zhuge Liang whispered: "Is the lord worried about the insufficient supply of food and grass in our army? If this is true, lord doesn't have to worry. The empress found that heavy rain would come in the next few days, so he mobilized 30,000 cattle and sheep from the Xianbei royal court. I think this batch of cattle and sheep should arrive in two days. In addition, our army has half a month's food and grass, and the cattle and sheep sent there should be able to last for one month. Therefore, our army is not at risk of food and grass shortage at present. The lord can rest assured."

After hearing this, Li Li couldn't help but feel relieved. He turned his head and nodded to Zhuge Liang in praise. He did not praise him in person. Not saying it does not mean that he had no feelings in his heart.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's young and handsome face, Li Li thought to himself: "This is the real wise man. A mistake in the previous period caused Gongsun Zan to lead the army alone and almost wipe out the entire army. After this incident, Kong Ming learned lessons and became more cautious. This long journey, food and grass were a big problem. However, Kong Ming was prepared and easily solved this difficult problem. The real wise man in the world did not never make mistakes, but never fell twice in the same place.

This is the wise man. In contrast, many people make mistakes repeatedly throughout their lives. They almost stay in the same place, so that they will do nothing all their lives and waste their lives. Kong Ming in front of them is a wise man, who will remember the lessons for life. Li Li himself is the same. He has made many mistakes. On the contrary, he has made many mistakes, but he will correct them when he knows the mistakes. He often reflects on himself, and over time he rarely makes mistakes. With fewer mistakes, the chances will increase, and success will come from this.

After abandoning his thoughts, Li Li asked in a low voice: "This heavy rain seems to last for a few more days, so the army will rest here for a few days to maintain a good spirit to fight. Zilong, have the front army done abnormal behavior recently?" His eyes turned to Zhao Yun, and Li Li still had a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Yun said without hesitation: "Since advancing eastward, the last general sent a large number of scouts to investigate and observe, but did not find any abnormal movements of General Ke Bineng. His troops under his tent were also in accordance with the rules, and everything was done on orders."

"Well, that's great." Li Li nodded slightly and said with thought: "At present, we are in the territory of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes. We are all barbarian tribes in front and behind. We have suffered heavy rains and are slow to advance, difficult situations and full of dangers. And the 20,000 cavalry of Kebineng's troops are among our army. If he is ill-behaved, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, our army must be careful everywhere during this long-distance expedition and do not care at all. If there is any mistake, our tens of thousands of troops will be in danger of overturning. We must observe this section."

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun nodded happily after hearing this, and they had already kept it in their hearts, but there was no need to say much.

After a little silence, Li Li suddenly said to Zhuge Liang: "The rainy season is wet, Kong Ming needs to pay more attention to his health. Although you are young, you are a scholar after all. You are weak and don't work too hard." As he spoke, Li Li gently patted Kong Ming's shoulder, and his care was beyond words.

Zhuge Liang was very moved and said respectfully: "Thank you brother for your compassion. I am not in a state of physical condition and there is no need to worry about it." Although he said this, he still felt abrupt in his heart, and he didn't know why Li Li cared about him so much.

No matter how smart Zhuge Liang was, he could not think of what Li Li thought of when he said this, nor did he know that the reason why Li Li asked him to go to war with the army and left Guo Jia in Youzhou was because of the heavy rain in front of him. For Li Li, who is familiar with history, he knew very well how Guo Jia died in history.

In history, in order to unify the north, Cao Cao personally led a large army to fight the Wuhuan and Xianbei eastwards, and Guo Jia followed the army to fight. Cao's army set out from Yecheng and rushed for thousands of miles, and its journey was much longer than Li Li's route in the eastwards. Moreover, Cao's army also suffered heavy rains like Li Li at this time, causing the raiding army to stagnate for several months on the way. As a result, Cao's army defeated the barbarian coalition, but Guo Jia fell ill and eventually died of illness on the way back, at the age of thirty-six.

Time and space are rotating, and now Li Li leads his army to the east. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, he deliberately keeps Guo Jia in Youzhou and brings the young and strong Zhuge Liang by his side. When it rains again, the army is slow to move forward. Li Li couldn't help but think of this matter, and then he was moved and told Zhuge Liang to pay more attention to his health and never get tired.

Five days later, the Eastern Expedition Army set out again. At noon three days later, at noon, he met the barbarian army led by Tadun unexpectedly at the northern foot of Bailang Mountain, less than 200 miles away from Liucheng. The enemy was particularly jealous when they met, and a sudden encounter broke out.
