Strange Biography of Three Kingdoms

The air in the grassland in summer is still very good at night. Yuan Xi took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Yuan Xiang, what do you think of us marching at night and resting during the day?"

Yuan Xiang said: "Your lord can do whatever you want, but my subordinates think it's better to walk during the day, black and white are reversed, here is the grassland, I'm afraid some people are not used to it, besides, marching in the daytime, although it is a little bit bitter, but everyone feels that it is true. .”

Yuan Xi nodded silently, maybe this is because of his heart.But that is to say, he didn't take it seriously. At present, it is really not necessary to turn black and white upside down.

The endless prairie, Yuan Xi pointed to the distance where he couldn't see the edge, and said loudly: "Yuan Xiang, you said that if we occupy this place in the future, how will we manage it?"

This place is no worse than the Central Plains, less populated, and fewer people are willing to come. Such a large piece of grassland looks good, but if you can’t get out after a few days and nights, it is estimated that not many people like it.

Chapter 376 The Surprised Tiger Crazy

Yuan Xi planned to set up a county here, but felt that it was unrealistic.

"I don't know." Yuan Xiang thought about it for a while, his mind froze, this was beyond his knowledge, so he could only shake his head.

Yuan Xi sighed. In fact, the grasslands are really hard to manage. If the Huns leave, there will be Wuhuan, and without Wuhuan, there will be Xianbei. Even without Xianbei, there will still be Qiang, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen... .Really back and forth, different grasslands, masters like flowing water, in short, it will not stop.

If he wanted to manage it once and for all, Yuan Xi really couldn't think of a way for a while.

Forget it, take Xianbei down first, and then go back and call everyone to find a way together, it's better than thinking blindly by yourself.

Yuan Xi took Yuan Xiang away for a while, and then he was going back to the camp to sleep.

As soon as he got to the camp, Dian Wei hurried up and said loudly: "My lord, there is a letter ahead."

Yuan Xi stopped, and when Dian Wei came over, he took the letter and asked, "Whose letter is it?"

"It belongs to Li Da."

Yuan Xi opened the envelope and took a look, and was overjoyed immediately.In the past few days|there is actually a reason for his unhurried march, because he has not received the news that Li Da has attacked and occupied the Xianbei royal court, even if he marched hurriedly, it would be useless to reach the fortress guarded by Xianbei soldiers.

storm?Yuan Xi never planned to attack with soldiers and horses, he knew that the Xianbei soldiers would retreat by themselves.

If you don't worry about this in your heart, the good news will come.

The letter said that Li Da and the others had gone through the most difficult time. Although they lost hundreds of troops, they only needed to march forward in three days to reach the Xianbei King's Court. The good news is that the Xianbei King's Court, the guards The number of soldiers was less than two thousand, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Yuan Xi was so excited that he couldn't speak. Although it was strange that the guards against the Xianbei royal court were so weak, he didn't bother to think about it so much. Anyway, it's good for him.

Yuan Xi did some calculations, when this letter was written, plus the urgent delivery, it is estimated that many days have passed.

Sure enough, after a few days of hasty marching, Yuan Xi and the others finally received the news.

Li Da led his army to conquer the Xianbei royal court and captured many Xianbei royal families alive.

"Good, good, good!"

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and ordered: "The whole army marches at full strength, we must enter the city before dark!"

Even though Xianbei is a prairie, in fact, there are many buildings in their hinterland, even cities, but they are not as exquisite as the Han people.

Yuan Xi and his party, with [-] soldiers and horses, quickly increased their speed.

Non-stop heading towards Hulu City ahead.

Along the way, it has been almost five or six days since Li Da conquered the Xianbei royal court.

The date Yuan Xi agreed with him was one month, but he knew that if Kebi could attack the Xianbei royal court with all his strength and vowed to take it back, Yuan Xi would have to compress the days to about 20 days.

In other words, Yuan Xi and others must arrive at the Xianbei royal court within ten days.This is the safest guarantee.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Yuan Xi and his party finally arrived in Hulu City. Since the summer is relatively dark, the sky is still bright, but Yuan Xi knows that the sky will be completely dark after one more hour at most.

The dense army was crushing under the Hulu City.

The front of Liao Hua, who was in charge of entering the city, soon received news that there were actually defenders in Hulu City, and there were quite a few of them.

When Yuan Xi received the news, he rode his horse and felt the snoring below the city. Looking around, he couldn't help but gasped.

Damn, although the Hulu City has a weird name, the city was built with a majestic grandeur. No, it should be said to be quite primitive.

It looks like it is almost piled up with stones, but Yuan Xi has excellent eyesight, so it is easy to see that in this fortress, the space between the stones is almost completely smoothed, and it is estimated that even a blade cannot be inserted into it.

Although such a city is rough, in the grassland, the difficulty of conquering is no different from reaching the sky.The key point is that Yuan Xi and his party don't have a siege weapon yet.

Build in place?Not even wood, where to build it?

"My lord, shall we attack the city?" Xu Chu shouted.He still remembered that Yuan Xi said before that it was dark to enter the city.

Yuan Xi's head was hurting, and when he heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Okay, you go and take me to the city, and I will count it as your first success!"

"Hey," Xu Chu laughed silly, thinking that I don't even have soldiers and horses, so why attack a city?Just as he was about to explain, Liao Hua whispered behind him, "General, we don't have any siege equipment!"

Xu Chu suddenly understood, and shouted, "Is this how we should look at it?"

All the generals looked at him with idiot eyes, Liao Hua also hid behind in shame.

Yuan Xi looked at it for a while, and thought that there was no way out, so he said, "Ten miles back, camp and rest on the spot."

The generals took orders. After all, the plan was wrong. Ke Bineng's royal court was taken away, but he was still so far away, deploying heavy troops to guard against Yuan Xi and others.It has to be said that everyone did not think of it.

It rained heavily that night. Although the tents kept out the rain, the grass was extremely cloudy|watery. For one night, almost none of the troops had a good rest.

Early in the morning, Yuan Xi climbed out of the tent with a sad face. Looking at the continuous light rain, he knew that the rain would probably not stop for a while.

Tai Shici rushed over and said anxiously to him: "General, what should we do? With this kind of weather, within three days, we can hardly cook, and we can't rest well, so it's extremely easy to get sick."

Yuan Xi pulled a long face, looked back at the endless rain curtain, then turned to look at the city wall in the rain ahead, and said helplessly, "Then what do you think? Attack the city or retreat?"

It is unrealistic to attack the city, and it is even more unrealistic to retreat. Li Da and others are still waiting for him to rescue them.

Tai Shici also hesitated, yes, he can't advance or retreat, what should he do? "

Yuan Xi ordered: "Let the soldiers take precautions, wait a little longer, now we can only suffer a little bit."

Tai Shici let out a long sigh, this is the only way to go, after all, no one would have expected such a change.

This heavy rain lasted for two days and two nights, and when the rain stopped on the third day, even though Yuan Xi was in good health, he fell ill.

After coughing twice, Yuan Xi was about to send someone out to investigate the situation, when he heard footsteps outside, Xu Chu ran in and said pleasantly, "My lord, my lord, I'm so happy."

Yuan Xi stood up abruptly and asked, "What happened? Did all the soldiers in the city withdraw?"

Xu Chu stared like a cow's egg, and said in surprise, "Master Shengming, how do you know that the enemy has withdrawn?"

Yuan Xi thought in his heart that unless he didn't want to withdraw his troops, it was raining, especially last night, which was the best time to withdraw his troops. If this opportunity was missed, the enemy should really want to defend the city.
