Chapter 2374 Haste is not enough

The old barbarian is not giving up." Shen You held the wine glass and sneered, with contemptuous eyes.

Pang Tong smiled. "It's easy to say that, but how many people are really willing to give up? Governor, this matter is not urgent, haste will not be achieved."

Shen You knew what Pang Tong said. You should not be too polite to treat these barbarians or force them too tightly. The most typical example is Liaodong. If Gongsun Du had not been too hasty, the killing was too ruthless, and forced the Fuyu people to rebel, this opportunity would not fall into his hands. If he forced Nanlou and the Wuhuan people surrendered and rebelled again, all his efforts would be wasted. Not only would Taishi Ci make jokes, but it would also affect the Jiangdong faction and thus disrupt the deployment of the King of Wu.

He cannot follow Zhu Huan's footsteps, nor can he be compared by Lu Xun.

"Shi Yuan, what are your tricks?"

Pang Tong pondered for a moment. "Governor, what do you think of Jia Yi?"

"Jia Yi?" Shen You pondered, thoughtful, and said carefully: "It's a talent, but I don't have enough experience and I'm a little scholarly. If I were more stable, I'm afraid there would be no room for Dong Zhongshu to perform."

"It's not only Dong Zhongshu, but also Master Yan. Didn't the order of grace offered by Master Yan come from Jia Yi's many princes?"

Shen You's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "Recommendation of kindness, this is a way. Shi Yuan, your suggestion is very interesting. These barbarians are forgetting their interests and fighting for the sake of justice and internal struggle. If they can divide them into smaller tribes, they will become a piece of loose sand in less than a few generations."

"Yes, this matter is not urgent, and it has to be solved by several generations of people. The problem on the grassland is a stubborn disease. It cannot be without force, nor can it rely solely on force. Emperor Xiaowu regards Wei Huo as a general and repeatedly conquered the Huns. Although he severely damaged the Huns, he also cut the household registration of the world by half. It can be said that both sides are both defeated. Especially when Li Guangli as a general later, it was really a big mistake. If he could slowly plan it, he would not be a nepotist and Li Ling did not surrender, it might be a different situation. On this point, I admire the king the most. Although he is young, he is extremely stable. Compared with Emperor Xiaowu's wasteland in his later years, it is a world of difference."

Shen You laughed and pointed at Pang Tong. "You Pang Shiyuan, what do you mean by saying directly? You have to mention the king?" He thought for a while and said, "You said it's right. You can't hurry up. It might be better to wait a moment. Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. You have to pay attention to the heat. If the heat is not good, it will always have a little bit of taste."

"What the governor said is very true."

Shen You sat upright, put down the wine glass, held the table with both hands, and tapped his fingers. "Shi Yuan, as the saying goes, the way of civil and military affairs is to deal with these barbarians, we must also be prepared for both hands. What about you who come from literature and I who come from martial arts?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "This is a good job. I can make another fortune and have a fat New Year."

"Hahaha..." Shen You laughed loudly. The two of them laughed for a while, and Shen You said again: "Shi Yuan, you said... Tai Shi Ziyi stayed in Fuyu and refused to return. Could he deliberately avoid me? Logically speaking, after fighting for so long, he should have been triumphant."

Pang Tong echoed: "It is not ruled out that this possibility. Why not do this? I contacted Meng Jian and I and coordinated the matters of Hu City, and set a unified price for the related goods so as not to let the Hu people take advantage of it?"

"You are right. Even if I have a fight with Taishi Ziyi, it is also a struggle between gentlemen. You can't let the Hu people take advantage of it. Shiyuan, please pick some gifts and express my feelings to Taishi Ziyi."

"Here."

The east of the Sanggan River Valley.

The sound of trumpets came one after another, and the Xianbei people launched charges again and again, trying to break through the positions of the Wuhuan people.

Tuoba Chu held the reins with one hand and raised the knife with the other hand, and let out a long roar. "Those who kill the deer and break the wind will reward thousands of falls! Those who retreat will kill you!"

The Xianbei knights were inexplicably excited. The White Deer tribe had only more than 3,000 falls, and if they killed the deer and the wind, they could get it. This reward was enough to make people crazy. They mustered up the courage again and charged forward.

"Ho! Ho!" The war horses neighed long, and their hooves were like thunder. The Xianbei knights made strange screams and ran along the river valley. Some knights rushed into the river. The horse's hooves kicked the turbid river water, rolled up waves, and rushed away.

"Stay!" Lu Pofeng held the sword in his hand and shouted loudly. "Blade and shield hand, spear hand, stabilize the position, archers shoot, and the cavalry are ready to charge against the charge. Don't panic. General Ma's reinforcements have arrived and are surrounding us. We can hold on for a while and we can cut off Tuoba Feng's dog head."

"Yes!" The soldiers answered loudly, including Wuhuan language and Chinese language. The Bailu tribe has lived in Senei for a long time and has recruited many Han people. The Han and Hu got along well and fought side by side many times to repel the attacks of other tribes. The Han people were infantry and formed formations to defend, while the Wuhuan people were cavalry and waited for an opportunity to counterattack, and there was already a certain understanding of the tacit understanding.

Facing the Xianbei people galloping, Han infantry squatted on the ground, holding the spear in his hands tightly. The Wuhuan people behind them stepped on the tail of the spear with their feet, and at the same time pulled the bow and shot arrows, shooting waves of arrow rain. The Xianbei people used shields to protect the key points and rode their horses desperately to hit them. The body of the war horse was pierced by the spear, and the spear was also forced into a bow shape by the impact of the war horses. The crisp sound of breaking continued. Many infantrymen were knocked down, and some were knocked away directly. The Xianbei knights who lost the war horse jumped off their horses, attacked on foot, fought with the Han infantry, and fought to the death.

Under the Xianbei people's rushing violently at all costs, the infantry's position was shaking and flaws appeared.

More Xianbei knights rushed over and continued to attack.

Lu Pofeng was anxious. While commanding the guards to repair the defense and block them, he kept looking back. According to his agreement with Shen You, Ma Chao should have arrived long ago. He led the warriors in the tribe as bait and fought and retreated. He had been fighting for two days and two nights, and had fought with Tuoba Feng for dozens of battles, with heavy casualties. If Ma Chao could not do it again, he would really not be able to support it.

The reason why they can persist until now is thanks to the Han people in the tribe. These Han people are not only familiar with infantry warfare, but also have strong confidence in the King of Wu. They have heard a lot of stories about the King of Wu from the merchants of Zhongshan, and admired the King of Wu, who is known as the little overlord. They heard that the Wu army will reinforce in the future, and their morale will be very strong and will repel the attacks of the Xianbei people many times, otherwise the Bailu tribe would have collapsed long ago.

But now, Lu Pofeng can't hold on. More than one-third of the casualties of the soldiers have been killed or injured. If reinforcements do not come again, once they are broken through by the Xianbei people, they will fall into a situation of being massacred by the Xianbei people.

"Blow the trumpet, ask for help!" Lu Pofeng gritted his teeth and issued an order to ask for help. At the same time, he led the personal guard camp to pounce on several Wuhuan knights who rushed into the formation. He originally did not want to ask for help from Ma Chao, but the situation was forcing him to bow his head.

When Tuoba heard the Wuhuan people blew the call for help, he was anxious and had an ominous premonition. He originally came to attack the Bailu tribe, but it turned out to be a strong attack. Moreover, the battle of the Bailu tribe was particularly tenacious, which made them lose their chances of winning quickly again and again. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger. If Lu Pofeng still has reinforcements, the chance of winning this battle will be slim.

Tuoba Chui held his breath, listened carefully, carefully distinguished the sound of trumpets on the battlefield, opened his eyes wide, and looked behind Lu Pofeng. If there were a large group of people moving, there would definitely be signs, such as birds flying in the mountains, and the cavalry kicked smoke and dust when they acted quickly, which could help him make a judgment.

There was nothing, no flying birds, no smoke and dust, and there was not even a response to the sound of a horn.

Tuoba Chui looked at Lu Pofeng who was waving his sword in the formation and slapped his life to fight, and laughed in anger. You Lu Pofeng, you actually played tricks. Not only did you want to deceive me, but you even cheated on your own people. Where is your reinforcements? Does the old man from Nanglou dare to lead his troops into the Han realm? As for Tituo, he wished you would die sooner.

"Attack!" Tuoba was so anxious that he ordered again. He must cut off Lu Pofeng's head.

The horn sounded again, and Tuoba Chui led his personal guards to charge, preparing to give Lu Pofeng a final blow.

Seeing Tuoba Chui's battle flag approaching quickly, Lu Pofeng had no time to think about it, and shouted loudly, reorganized the battle formation, ready to face Tuoba Chui's attack. He knew very well that life and death were right in front of him, and if the reinforcements were not yet available, he would be dead.

These Han people were unreliable. Lu Pofeng sighed in his heart, threw away the sword that had been missing, picked up a spear, grabbed the formation, and faced the closer Tuoba Chui. Several personal guards rushed up, some protected Lu Pofeng's wings, and some raised Lu Pofeng's battle flag. Seeing Lu Pofeng leading the way, the Han Hu soldiers were greatly motivated and formed a formation again.

The Xianbei people were also very excited and rushed up with a strange cry.

Lu Pofeng raised his long spear and turned two circles. The long-prepared knights received the order and began to accelerate. They lined up on the hillside, and took advantage of the slope to speed up, quickly launched a charge, and attacked the side of the Xianbei people, reducing the pressure on Lu Pofeng.

Tuoba Chui was prepared and ordered a team of knights to come forward to fight, but he still rushed towards Lu Pofeng.

After the knights on both sides shot a rain of arrows, they raised their spears and fought swords, and they scrambled each other. The war horses collided, and the swords and spears intersected. The Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people sacrificed their lives to fight like life and death enemies. Screams arose, blood splattered, and one warrior after another was injured and fell off the horse's horse, and they were immediately stepped on by flying horse hooves.

Lu Pofeng met Tuoba Chui. He dodged to avoid the collision of the war horse and stabbed Tuoba Chui in the chest. Tuoba Chui used his shield to block his spear and slashed it hard. Lu Pofeng gave up Tuoba Chui, grabbed Tuoba Chui's right wrist with his left hand, grabbed Tuoba Chui's belt with his right hand, and pulled him off the horse's back. He was also knocked to the ground by the force of the war horse. The two rolled together and teared each other.

The two main generals were entangled together, and the Xianbei people did not dare to get too close, for fear that the horse's hooves would hurt Tuoba Chui, so they could only avoid some and attack the Wuhuan people's positions. Tuoba Chui's personal guards rode their horses in circles and tried their best to knock Lu Pofeng's personal guards away. Several people jumped off the horse and planned to help Tuoba Chui, but were blocked by Lu Pofeng's personal guards. Everyone on the grassland knew that Lu Pofeng had a strong martial arts skills and fought alone, and Tuoba Chui had no advantage. If Lu Pofeng could kill Tuoba Chui with his personal martial arts, he might be able to hold on for a while.

Dozens of people on both sides refused to give in to each other and killed each other.
