Chapter 1393 Reluctance to die with eyes closed and hesitation(2/2)

The Battle of Hebei began in the winter of the ninth year of Yanxi. The war first started in Luoyang. Jiang Wei led his army across the river in the winter and arrived at the gate of Wen County, Sima Yi's hometown.

Although it could not be defeated, it shocked Hanoi every day, and even Jiang Ji had to personally lead his troops to rescue the siege.

After Jiang Wei harassed them, he drove thousands of people south to Luoyang.

As soon as spring began, the entire Taihang Mountain front immediately became restless.

Wang Han from Hedong and Shi Bao from Shangdang couldn't wait to send out small groups of troops to continuously test Zhiguanxing, Taihangxing, Baixing, Fukouxing, etc., looking for loopholes in the Wei thieves' defense.

The snow on the mountains always melts slower.

Compared to the plains east of the Taiyuan River where no traces of ice and snow can be seen, remnants of snow can still be seen from time to time on the Taihang Mountains.

However, the scouts, sentinels, and even small groups of sergeants from both Han and Wei sides had already started a life-and-death war on various passes.

On the contrary, Jingxing, which was planned as the main direction of attack, seemed to be extremely quiet after the beginning of spring.

Throughout the winter, Feng Da Sima visited Jingxing Mountain Pass several times for inspections. Unexpectedly, the weather had just turned warm, but he was sitting in Jinyang City doing nothing.

However, the news that came back from outside the Great Wall a few days ago still broke Feng Dashima’s peaceful life:

General Zhendong, who had been lurking outside the Great Wall for more than a month, finally decided to attack Tuoba Xianbei.

At this time, in Pingcheng in the north of Taiyuan, Zhang Yuan, the chief guard of Xianbei Xiaowei Mansion, was trying his best to organize manpower and rush to transport supplies to the Moluhui Division.

Because General Zhendong not only took away all the young men who had not returned to Luhui, but even gave only one month's rations to those who stayed behind.

In other words, Zhang Yuan must deliver enough rations to the Wu Luhui Department within a month - there is still plenty of time.

However, after the beginning of spring, it is destined to be a busy season.

Pingcheng was still nervously transporting grain out of the fortress, and General Guan sent someone to deliver another message.

"The mountain is long, the mountain is long, the great victory, the great victory beyond the wall!"

"General Zhendong defeated Tuoba Xianbei. Hu chieftain Tuoba Liwei died. His son Tuoba Desert Khan conquered all the tribes and has expressed his intention to surrender to the Han!"

"In this battle, nearly 500,000 Hu people were subdued, and more than 50,000 were captured, including countless cattle, sheep, and horses!"

"Oh?" Even after knowing that General Guan decided to attack, Feng Dasima, who was already mentally prepared, was still shocked after hearing the battle report, and even couldn't believe it, "Seriously?"

As he asked, he eagerly took the translated battle report from the staff.

"Chief Shan, the student has verified the data three times, it must be accurate!"

Feng Dasima carefully read the battle report word for word, and then couldn't help but snap up the case:

"Okay! Okay, okay! My family, um, General Guan, this battle is really a battle between conspiracies, enemies and troops!"

According to the staff's deduction, the best result of this expedition is to get 200,000 barbarians to surrender and capture another 100,000 prisoners of war, which is about it.

As for the worst outcome, 30,000 to 50,000 people could be captured.

But I didn't expect that the result was unexpectedly perfect.

The Luhui tribe successfully surrendered. Except for a few tribesmen of Tuoba Xianbei who fled, most of them surrendered, and the rest were all prisoners of war.

But when he saw the end, Feng Da Sima's expression was stagnant: "Huh?"

Originally, General Guan mentioned one thing at the end of the battle report:

Half of Tuoba Xianbei's elite cavalry had already gone south in advance to Hebei to support Sima Yi, so Feng Da Sima must be careful.

The men and horses left behind at the headquarters were insufficient in combat strength, which was also an important reason for the success of the war outside the Great Wall.

But leaving the tens of thousands of elite cavalry heading south unchecked is a hidden danger after all.

At the same time, he also asked if he was needed to lead the army and follow him south.

Even if we can't wait for an opportunity to completely eliminate Tuoba Xianbei's last remaining force, we can hold them back and reduce the pressure on Da Sima in Hebei.

A little adventurous.

This was Feng Dasima's first reaction.

Of course he understands that if you can kill a snake with one stick, don't spare any effort.

This is indeed a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

But the snow in the desert is about to melt, no, it should have already started to melt. After the snow completely melts, the entire grassland will become muddy.

For the cavalry, this is the last thing they want to see.

Having lost the advantage of cavalry, although there is still the advantage of weapons and armor, the troops and horses in the hands of General Guan Da have to contend with tens of thousands of Tuoba warriors dismounting...

After all, I took some risks.

Not to mention that it was impossible for all the soldiers and horses to be dispatched, and a considerable number of them had to watch over the hundreds of thousands of Hu people who surrendered.

Feng Da Sima raised his head and looked at the battle map hanging on the wall.

After a moment of silence, he held the battle report in his hand and slowly walked to the map.

On the map, I don't even know where General Guan is currently located.

The Yanshan Mountains, a natural barrier to the north of Hebei, are clearly marked.

Also marked are various important passes.

Feng Dashima patrolled the map back and forth for a long time, and finally set his sights on Juyong Pass.

If Xianbei Jingqi wanted to enter Hebei to support Sima Yi, the fastest and most convenient pass was Juyong Pass.

Da Sima Feng raised his fingers and tapped the wall gently, obviously hesitating - General Guan must also be hesitating because he was not sure.

If he had enough confidence, General Guan would not have such a tone.
