Speed ​​is of the essence in war!

Especially in ancient times, only by being fast enough that the opponent had no chance of considering such a possibility could a fatal blow be dealt!

In Jiang Ming's previous life, Huo Qubing did exactly that!

Jiang Ming abandoned all the baggage. The soldiers accompanying the army only brought high-calorie foods such as beef jerky and yogurt. They didn't even bring heavy armor. Each soldier was equipped with three horses, which they could take turns riding. When they were tired, they would sleep on horseback.

And the soldiers worked in shifts, day and night... The awake soldiers led the army forward, while the tired soldiers slept on horseback...

In this way, Jiang Ming arrived in less than 4 days what would normally be a journey of at least 15 days!

Meanwhile, the information that Yi Xie'er received was that Jiang Ming's 'movement' in building the Great Wall in the Yanbei Grassland area was getting bigger and bigger!

Tens of thousands of laborers were conscripted and worked day and night, as if sensing that the Great Chanyu was about to head south and were racing against time to speed up the construction!

"Great Chanyu, I think Jiang Ming is trying to take advantage of our siege of Da Xianbei Mountain to quickly build defensive fortifications. This bastard is using his father-in-law's life and family fortune to buy himself time to prepare for war!" one of Yixie'er's strategists analyzed.

"Great Chanyu!"

His Left Wise King said, "I think that besieging Murong Hong here is a waste of time... We should take advantage of the fact that Jiang Ming and his men haven't built the Great Wall yet, and attack them directly, catching them off guard!"

"No!"

Young Master Luo waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "There's a trap here! Jiang Ming has conscripted hundreds of thousands of laborers to build the Great Wall, creating such a huge commotion...it's clearly an attempt to lure us over. This way, the pressure on Murong Hong will naturally be reduced. He's certainly playing a clever game! He wants to rescue his father-in-law in this lowest-cost way! This guy is good at setting ambushes...once we attack, who knows what traps await us! Our strength as Xiongnu is our unpredictability, preventing them from discovering our main force. If our main force easily reveals itself, then our advantage will be gone..."

He paused and continued, "I still agree with the Great Chanyu's previous strategic policy: to lure Jiang Ming and his men deep into our grasslands, deplete their supplies, and make them unable to find us. Then, we can wait in comfort, eat and drink our fill, and then deliver a fatal blow! Right now, Jiang Ming is acting like a cowardly turtle; we must not fall for his trick!"

Yi Xie'er strongly agreed with Young Master Luo's point of view, believing that although the schemes were different, the overall strategic policy should remain unchanged, which was... to lure Jiang Ming's main force to the grassland, then deal with Jiang Ming, and after they exhausted their own supplies, launch a fatal blow against the Ganren army!

When you're unfamiliar with a place and people, you're easily ambushed and wiped out when you arrive on someone else's territory!

If dealing with some incompetent generals, the looting strategy employed by Aixin, the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, is feasible!

However... Jiang Ming is an unparalleled genius who only appears once every one or two hundred years!

Therefore, we should take advantage of our home ground and lure the main force of the Gan people to the grassland!

As for how to lure them in, that's where strategy should be employed!

However, some ministers raised a question: If... Jiang Ming is preparing for both ends, on the one hand luring the enemy deep into our territory to make us attack, and on the other hand, he is building the Great Wall, if the luring fails and Jiang Ming really builds the Great Wall, then it will be difficult to advance into the Central Plains again!

Yi Xie'er waved his hand and said, "There's no need to worry about that. The entire grassland stretches for nearly ten thousand miles, from the easternmost sea to the westernmost desert... Even if the people of Ganzhou had the power to see the sun and the moon, they couldn't possibly build the Great Wall! That would be a waste of national strength, and Jiang Ming wouldn't be considered a hero. Besides... based on my analysis of Jiang Ming's character, he has always believed that offense is the best defense, and he would never do such a thing!"

......

Mount Daxianbei was the residence of the Xianbei Murong tribe.

The Xianbei Khan Murong Hong was bedridden and had a high fever after being shot in the back with an arrow.

The messenger he had sent to deliver the message returned and told Murong Hong how ruthless and heartless Jiang Ming was!

The princes and generals inside the tent were so angry that they gritted their teeth!

Murong Hong's eldest wife, Changsun Yuehua, covered her face and wept bitterly!

Originally, she and Murong Hong's most beloved daughter, Murong Xue, married Jiang Ming, thinking that this son-in-law would serve them well... Not to mention serving them well, at least if the father-in-law is in trouble, you have to help him, right?

In order to strengthen her close relationship with Jiang Ming, she also sent Xue'er's two younger sisters to him.

The three sisters all married Jiang Ming, but they couldn't tame this wolf cub. They watched as their father-in-law was trapped in the Great Xianbei Mountain, without water for several days, and still showed no intention of rescuing him!

The messenger tearfully said that Jiang Ming not only refused to help, but also forbade the third prince, Murong Lie, to help. He directly blocked the passage to Zhongshan. Although Prince Murong Lie has now become the King of Yan in Zhongshan, he does not know that his father, the Khan, is besieged in the Great Xianbei Mountains. Jiang Ming is blocking the news... His heart is truly vicious!

After hearing the messenger's report, the eldest prince angrily cursed, "Those who are not of our race are sure to have different hearts! Father Khan! This Jiang Ming has taken full advantage of our family! Not only did he marry Sister Xue'er, but he also commands a quarter of our Xianbei tribe and its troops. If it weren't for Father Khan giving him the foundation to start his career, how could he have achieved his current glory? Even now, his core troops are still being supported by the Changsun tribe!"
