The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Being invaded and looted has become a normal state, and how to defend has become an instinctive reaction. Liu Tao feels that at this time the court needs to reflect on why the people here feel so insecure.

The problem is that it is troublesome to solve it. First of all, the enemies of the imperial court, that is, these Xianbei people, can escape into the mountains and rely on the mountains for defense, and they can use cavalry to harass.Their archery skills are also good, and they are at a disadvantage when shooting against each other.

They can pass through the forest and cross the Yinshan Mountains to attack southward, but the imperial court can't build a new Great Wall around this mountain range.Perhaps the imperial court itself used this area outside the Great Wall as a buffer zone for the two clans to fight.

People are also sent to guard here, and some people will live here.On the contrary, if there is a war, this will be the earliest place of battle.No matter what kind of fight here, it will not affect the people inside the Great Wall.

In other words, from the very beginning, the imperial court did not intend to make this place so prosperous, just like in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no longer even a prefect here, only a captain.

Yes, Liu Tao remembered that there was a prefect here, and it was a matter of the Western Han Dynasty.However, Yunzhong County was not the original territory of the Xiongnu or Xianbei. If we really want to go back, it should be set up by King Wuling of Zhao.

In other words, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place was already the inherent land of China.

Five thousand soldiers were already approaching Beiyu, in the direction of Dingxiang, and Liu Tao had ordered Guan Yu to strengthen patrols around.Judging from the current results, it seems that no Xianbei troops who came from Dingxiang have been found.

"My lord, may I ask how the Xianbei people are doing?" Lu Bu stepped forward to ask.Five days ago, I found out for the first time that Liu Tao can actually open the sky eye to see the situation in the distance, and the range of the sky eye has a radius of ten miles.

If only it was so convenient to fight in the past, it would be good to warn in advance, or even ambush in advance.

Sometimes I feel that Liu Tao should be the prefect of Wuyuan County, after all, his sky eye is more useful there.Ambush the Hu people four or five times, then they will not dare to come here casually.

"They have been in the mountains these two days, and they seem to be hesitating whether to go south. If my guess is correct, they will either go south in these ten days, or they will return north in ten days." Liu Tao returned road.

During this period of time, it was still the autumn harvest season. Really, there were still people in some counties. After the harvest, the millet was still drying and could not be fully put into storage.Going south to plunder at this time can naturally harvest a lot of food.

After more than ten days, if the grain is put into storage or even hidden, then it is possible to obtain it only by attacking the city, but the price/performance ratio is too low, obviously it is a loss-making business, and naturally it will not be done.

"No intention of going south at all? No, no, they have no intention of moving?" Lu Bu asked eagerly.

"That's true, but you also know that I have to concentrate on looking over there before I can see what's going on there. For example, if I'm asleep, or I'm not paying attention over there, then I naturally don't know The situation over there." Liu Tao had to explain.

If these barbarians moved secretly in the middle of the night, or moved while he was not paying attention, then he would not be able to notice.

"It's nothing. They don't move casually in the middle of the night. After all, in the mountains and forests, the beasts are active in the middle of the night. But there is one thing to pay attention to, that is, most of the barbarians can see everything clearly in the middle of the night." Lu Bu reminded.

This is because the barbarians also eat internal organs and blood of livestock, which may be related to the supplement of vitamin A, so there is no problem of night blindness.Anyway, naturalized barbarians with a single diet may suffer from night blindness instead.

According to Lu Bu, in the early days, even the Hu people thought that this was their betrayal of Xianbei, and the gods punished themselves.There is no way, any weird things these days can be related to gods and ghosts...

"It's a good habit!" Liu Tao praised upon hearing the words, "Since they don't move casually at night, shouldn't we take the initiative to go there and give them warmth? General Lu, you probably mean the same thing, right?"

"Although I don't know what you mean by 'sending warmth', the general does have the idea of ​​night attack." Lu Bu nodded. He felt that Liu Tao's meaning should be the same as his own.

"Of course I mean that. I've always been very loving." Liu Tao nodded, "Seeing them leave their homes, deep in the mountains and forests, alone and helpless, and face all kinds of ferocious beasts, I definitely can't bear it..."

"So I took the initiative to invite them to come over to be a guest. Is this the right thing?" Guo Jia smiled, and he had already begun to feel the evil taste in Liu Tao's words.

"That's for sure. Since we see these poor Xianbei people suffering there, of course we should treat them well. If they don't even have a place to go, shouldn't they provide a place to live or even a job? ?” Liu Tao looked sympathetic, “How could we, a big man like Huang Huang, act recklessly to start a war?”

"Then..." Lu Yan also came to his senses, "Recently, the counties need a lot of workers to build bridges and pave roads, and widen irrigation canals."

"Are these scholars so insidious?" Wen Chou asked Cheng Lian beside him in a low voice.

"As far as I know...it seems to be the case." Cheng Lian nodded dumbly. After all, the scholars he had met were Liu Tao and others.In terms of impression, it is indeed the feeling.

"Just hit it, why do you have to find so many reasons?" Lu Bu couldn't figure it out.

"It's a matter of position!" Liu Tao replied. "We can't take the initiative to start a war. Even if we have to fight, it must be their problem, not our problem. Otherwise, even if we win, those guys in the court will take the responsibility of lightly starting the war and shirk it." To us...Of course we can't give them an excuse to attack us!"

In the final analysis, it is wise to not even give those courtiers with ulterior motives a chance to frame themselves.The order has not collapsed, and many things inevitably need to be taken care of.

"So!" Liu Tao concluded, "I'm going to write a memorial to the imperial court, indicating that at this time, and then you are ready to send them warmth tonight or tomorrow night. If you don't like this word, just say It’s okay to check the account.”

"Why do you think the lord looks very skilled at this?" Guo Jia asked.

Indeed... the other people also complained silently in their hearts.

Chapter 283 Unsuspecting Night Attack

Kui Ye, the entire Yinshan mountain range was quiet, the sound of insects was everywhere, and from time to time a wolf howled, coming from a distance.

On the outskirts of the Xianbei tribe, where more than 2000 people were stationed, two figures approached quietly.Arriving at the outskirts of the camp, a pair of eyes that glowed green in the dark looked around, then suddenly bent their bows and set arrows, and shot towards not far away.

A patrolling Xianbei was shot dead. Before the companions could react, the second and third arrows had already shot over and killed him.

"Push forward!" Seeing that the figure continued to move forward, Liu Tao also gave an order.

The large army began to advance slowly, deducting [-] cavalry from the front, and this time he brought [-] infantry.He didn't mean to worry about the Xianbei cavalry, after all, the soldiers were all equipped with heavenly armor, and besides, he didn't intend to give the Xianbei people a chance to mount their horses.

"Prefect, I didn't expect that there was such a person beside you..." Lu Bu looked at the fleeting figure in the distance, his eyes were shining - this is definitely a treasure!

It doesn't matter if you are good at archery, the key is that you can move as freely as you do during the day in the dark.If it were him, even if he could get used to the night, it would not be so easy to move freely as during the day.

Especially those enemies hidden in the night, you can miss them if you are not careful.

"Ace, how can you show it off casually?" Liu Tao replied casually. Even so, Yang She's low-key personality is also a problem. More often, he will disguise himself as a very ordinary existence.

If you really underestimate him because of this, when he shows his fangs, he can bite off the opponent's throat.

Changing the subject, he said with emotion: "However, if we really want to talk about the archery skills, Team Cao's rate is quite good, and he can already keep up with Yang She!"

At this moment, there is actually one more person following Yang She, and that is Cao Xing.

His dynamic vision is good, and his archery skills are also top-notch. He is good at shooting moving targets. In the dark night, he often determines the location of the target by observing the movement of objects.

Yang shot and shot, and he replenished the arrows by sensing the activities of other Xianbei defenders.The second one was shot by him, and the third one was shot by Yang Shebu's arrow.

The two advanced one after the other, and then more Xianbei sentries were shot.So the Xianbei people in the camp became blind and deaf.It never occurred to me that a Han army was rapidly approaching.

"Charge!" Only one mile away from the enemy camp, the flames of the bonfires outside the camp could already be seen from a distance, Liu Tao gave an order, and the large army began to charge.

The cavalry quickly started to run. They were responsible for the first round of charge. Facing a group of Xianbei soldiers who didn't even have a fence and hadn't mounted their horses, they didn't have to worry about anything at all.

"Charge!" Zhang Fei led the cavalry to charge.

It should have been led by Lu Bu himself, but in terms of leading the cavalry, Lu Bu is no better than Zhang Fei. After all, he used to lead infantry.Maybe in the next few years, he will become a cavalry general, but at this stage, let the knowledgeable people go.

"Charge!" Of course Lu Bu was unwilling, and let Zhang Fei steal the limelight by himself, so he shouted, and the pawns also started to charge.

Before the drowsy Xianbei people could react, the cavalry had rushed into their camp and opened a hole.

"Hey, it's not fun just like this!" Zhang Fei cursed, there was no way, he didn't know how to expect the cavalry to penetrate through the jungle, and this charge might be the only one.

Feeling that he didn't get much results, Zhang Fei was somewhat dissatisfied.He looked back inadvertently, although he was not happy with Lu Bu, but at present, he could only leave it to them.

"Think of a way to intersperse them and disperse them appropriately. There is nothing wrong with fighting, but don't miss the pursuit!" Zhang Fei was still a little upset, and hurriedly issued an order.Even chasing those scattered horses is better than nothing!

At this moment, the Xianbei camp was completely in chaos.After all, before responding to what happened, the cavalry rushed directly into the camp and made a mess here.
