Chapter Seventy-One
Among the Xianbei and Wuhuan, who were covered with hair and small braids, and among the Hu nobles such as the Wuhuan, were two or three Tang Shi wearing robes.
One of the Pure Tang Shi, who is nearly 50 years old, has the seat that is closest to Tuoba Baijin.
This Tang Shi was Sun Min, a native of Daijun who had gained great credit.
When Bai Jin was patrolling the camp, Sun Min did not follow him. At this time, Bai Jin invited him over.
Bai Jin smiled at Sun Min and said, "Sir, please tell him why I should join forces with Murong Yan to attack Jixian at this time."
Sun Min had learned Xianbei dialect well, and responded to the yes, and explained to Jiefu in Xianbei dialect, saying: "The Qin lord Pu Mao is not a person who is easy to be content. The Murong and He Hun were defeated one after another, and there were no more enemies in the Central Plains. Then he would definitely use troops to Dingxi and I. If I don't take the initiative to act first, but wait for him to digest his newly acquired land and population, then if I replace the north corner, how could it be his opponent even if Dingxi is added?
"What's more, at that time, he may contact Rouran. Rouran was defeated by Shanyu several times, and hated Shanyu to the core, and he would definitely be willing to attack me with the Qin lord Pu Mao. We will be unable to deal with only one Pu Qin. If we are attacked on both sides, Daibei will inevitably be in danger!
"For this reason, we can only take the lead in attacking and join forces with Murong Yan when his troops are still available to adjust, and strive to conquer Youzhou first to expand our territory and civilian positions, and enhance our strength in Daibei. In this way, we can better deal with the future."
Jiefu said, "But now, Ji, You's Qin army has more than 100,000!"
Sun Min said: "The Qin army in Ji and You is indeed more numerous than our army and Murong Yan's coalition forces, but for the more than 100,000 Ji and You Qin army, one is the new land of Ji and You, they need to leave a large number of troops to guard them; secondly, the more than 100,000 Ji and You Qin army, surrendered troops account for a considerable proportion of them; thirdly, wasn't the Shanyu already using the strategy of "speaking east and attacking west"?
"As a result of the combination of these three, there are many, which is not enough to worry about."
After pausing, Sun Min said again, "Our army is now attacking Youzhou, and there are still three advantages for our army."
Jiefu asked, "What three advantages?"
Sun Min said: "After Meng Lang's death, Pu Mao relied on Cui Han. I know that Cui Han is a man. Although he is talented, how can his prestige in Pu Qin be compared with Meng Lang, who was once a member of Pu Mao and made the most contribution in the usurpation of the throne? Based on various information, the Pu Qin Dynasty is now in a turbulent tide, and its internal instability is a benefit for our army to take the opportunity to attack You at this time!"
“What is the second advantage?”
Sun Min said: "Last autumn, Pu Mao personally led his troops to attack Dingxi, but could not defeat him. Now, the morale of the Qin army is no longer comparable to that of Cai's destruction of Murong and He Hun clans. This is the second advantage."
“What is the third advantage?”
Sun Min said: "Pu Mao besieged Xiangwu, so he failed. One important reason was that Li Ji's rebellion surrendered to Dingxi. Now there are many surrendered generals in the Qin army and the newly attached Tang Hu soldiers, and there are many in Puluogu and Gou Xiong's troops. Through Li Ji's rebellion, it can be predicted that Puluogu and Gou Xiong must be full of suspicion for these soldiers in his two divisions! This is also a benefit for our army to attack You."
After Sun Min finished speaking, Tuoba Beijin said, "Jie Buddha! Do you still have any doubts now?"
Jiefu said, "After listening to Mr. Sun's analysis, I have no doubts when I reply to Shanyu's words!"
"Since you have no doubts, your troops will be my pioneer in this battle!"
Jie Buddha replied: "Yes!"
"After you capture Guangning, Shanggu, Jixian and other places, you can choose the ranches there!"
Jie Buddha was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
The estimated journey of Jiefu and Helan Yannian was very accurate. Three days later, the main force of the Bai tribe Xianbei and Helan tribe arrived.
During these three days, the tribal soldiers sent by various Wuhuan tribes who had received the order to summon the city, and arrived in Pingcheng in a steady stream.
The Daibei Hu cavalry gathered in Pingcheng, which had nearly 20,000.
Tuoba Beijin claimed that his country had 100,000 people who controlled the strings. This "100,000" was not considered his boast, but it refers to the power of the country. Every time he fell, one or two strong men had to be born to have such a number. Although this time, it was an important military operation, it was not a battle to destroy the country or protect the country. Therefore, he could not have done so.
Apart from the partial divisions that He Guwan and Zhao Luocui took away, and the troops guarding the northern part of Shengle, the nearly 20,000 cavalry in Pingcheng have gathered, which are basically all the available troops he can mobilize.
Although it is not a sacrificial force of the country, it is enough to show how much he attaches importance to this battle.
The troops gathered together and were all ready to enter the battle.
News came from Murong Yan that the tribal soldiers summoned from Jicheng, Longcheng and other Murong clan ancestral lands have also been gathered together.
Two strokes totaled 30,000 rides.
However, Gou Xiong from Ji County was still stationed in the army, Zhao Luocui and Shuofang, and had already entered Yanmen and other counties for four or five days, burning, killing and looting, creating great momentum. Gou Xiong from Ji County had been holding his troops and sent only a force of 3,000 people to provide assistance. The main force of the Qin army under his tent was still stationed around Ji County. This was indeed beyond Tuoba Baijin's expectation.
He invited Sun Min to discuss with him.
"Mr. Sun, do you think Gou Xiong can see our plan?"
Sun Min slowly shook her head and said, "With Gou Xiong's past performance, he seems to have no such wisdom."
"Then why did he stay in Jixian without moving?"
Sun Min thought for a while and said, "... Could it be because?"
“Why?”
Sun Min made a guess and said, "Because General Hegu, Lord Zhao and others were in Yanmen, Dingxiang was not robbed ruthlessly enough?"
"So, in the opinion of sir, what should we do now?"
Sun Min knew that Tuoba Beijin was good at speaking, because he was wise and rude, but he was cunning like a fox, so he said, "I think the king must have a solution? Min dares to hear it."
Tuoba Beijin currently has two honorary titles, one is the Northern Shanyu of Dai, and the other is the King of Dai. Jiefo and others. They often call him the King of Shanyu, Sun Min and others. They often call him the King of Tang Shi.
"I thought of a solution, but I don't know if this solution will be successful?"
Sun Min said respectfully: "I dare to ask the king to show it."
"I sent a letter to Murong Yan, asking him to take the lead and attack Beiping County through Changli County. Yanmen and other counties were robbed. Gou Xiong could hold his troops without moving, but if Murong Yan sent troops to attack Beiping County, could he still hold his troops without moving?
"When his troops left Ji east, I personally led a large army to attack Guangning, Shanggu, and march into Jixian! If his troops left Ji did not return to help in time, I would capture Jixian! If he returned to help, I would siege the city and attack the aid, first join forces with Murong Yan, defeat his troops from Ji, and then continue to attack Jixian!"
After talking about the solutions he had come up with, Tuoba Baijin asked Sun Min humbly, saying, "Sir, what do you think I'm going to do with this plan?"
Sun Min twisted her beard and thought for a while, and said, "The king's plan is excellent! But there is a problem."
Tuoba Beijin smiled and said, "Sir, are you worried? Will Murong Yan agree to send troops first?"
"Min is exactly this concern."
Tuoba Beijin said, "I have a way to make him agree!"
"I dare to ask the king, what's the solution?"
Tuoba Beijin said: "After winning this battle, I will give it to him all east of Ji County! And I am willing to regard him as king again!"
Sun Min was surprised and said, "Master, this..."
But Sun Min was surprised. In Tuoba Baijin's material, he pretended not to understand why Sun Min was surprised and said, "What's wrong?"
"The king, it's fine to Murong Yan to the east of Ji County; but then I will regard Murong Yan as the king? King..."
"ah?"
Sun Min was convinced, stood up and bowed, and said, "The king does not value false reputation. He is a betrayal of a priest. He cannot do it unless he is a hero! I admire him very much."
"Haha, haha." Tuoba Beijin laughed happily, laughed for a while, asked Sun Min to get up, and said, "I would like to regard Murong Yan as the king again, not only I don't want to be famous."
Sun Min asked, "The king wants other profound meanings?"
"Sir, after fighting this battle, I can see that the Qin Lord Pu Mao will take revenge. Our national strength in Daibei is not as strong as Pu Qin, and... is far inferior to that of Pu Mao! If Pu Mao comes to attack, I can't stop it! Since that's the case, should I think of a way out first?"
Sun Min said: "The retreat that the king thought of is..."
"Yes, the retreat I thought of is that at that time I will say that attacking Jixian and so on are all due to Murong Yan's instructions. Murong Yan is my 'king' again. So sir, what will he hit after Pu Mao hears me? Should he hit me or Murong?"
Sun Min said: "I'll fight Murong first."
Tuoba Beijin stroking his beard again, and asked Sun Min proudly, and said, "Sir, what is my retreat?"
Sun Min was convinced and said, "The king is far-sighted, and Min admires it very much!"
"Murong Yan is far worse than him. I regard him as the king. Although I want to use him as a shield to resist Pu Mao's anger, it will be a little disgusting. Sir, this time we will attack Jixian County, no matter what, we have to win!" Tuoba Beijin patted his cheek twice, pointed at his face, and smiled, "Otherwise, my loss will be too great! So, please make preparations. Before sending troops, I will ask the teacher to divine in public, use his morale to inspire the morale of the army!"
"Losing the face" and so on, entering from Sun Min's left ear and exiting from Sun Min's right ear.
Tuoba Beijin is not a person who cares about face at all.
Otherwise, he would not have betrayed the Wei State. Not long after he turned to Pu Qin, he betrayed the Qin State again, and willingly offered to take his old master as king. Sun Min knew his nature well and knew that he was a person who could not get up early without profit. In Tuoba Baijin's eyes, there was only profit.
Sun Min replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, the king is favored by the gods, and the result of the divination will definitely be a great victory for our army!"
...
Yanmen County.
