When Lin Han marched to Jinyang, it was already late. After ordering the three armies to station, he went into the tent to check the news about Tugehu.
Soon, a Jinyiwei brought news.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Jia has sent word that the three armies of the Great Xia have camped on the banks of the Rushui River. General Xu Huang leads 50,000 troops in the center, with Guan Hai as his deputy general and Mr. Jia as his military advisor. The right army has 30,000 men, with Bo Cai as the commander and He Man as his deputy. The left army has 30,000 men, with Zhang He as the commander and Yu Du as his deputy. Zhang Sheng leads the Blood-Drinking White Cavalry, responsible for the safety of the rear baggage and food supplies."
Upon hearing this, Lin Han marked the location of the Daxia troops on the map.
Further west of the Ru River are Baishan and Danhan Mountain, where Kebi was able to move freely.
Budugen is located in the Yinshan Mountains near Yanmen Yunzhong.
The Southern Xiongnu were located in the border area south of the desert, and the Liu Bao tribe of the Tugehu were active in Wuyuan and Shuofang counties of Bingzhou.
The three forces are clear.
At dawn the next day, the messenger came to report that Yu Furuo wanted to see him.
Yu Furuo had a haggard face and looked like a bearded man of about forty years old. He had the roughness of a Hun, but his temperament was not so wolfish. He was not a typical Hun. He had been partially assimilated into the Han culture, but not completely.
When Yu Furuo saw Lin Han, he hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Greetings, General Xiao."
"No need to be so polite, what do you want from me?"
"Regarding the matter of Tugehu, I hereby request the general to give Tugehu a way out." Yu Fuluo bowed deeply.
This surprised Lin Han.
The Tugehu rebelled and killed the Chanyu Qiangqu. The Xiongnu noble Xubu clan took the opportunity to seize the throne and Xubu Guduhou succeeded him as Chanyu.
Now the son of Qiangqu has come, ask him to let the rebels go, he will live long enough to see this.
"Why?" Lin Han asked calmly.
"General, to be honest, the leader of the Tugehu tribe, Liu Bao, is my son."
Yu Furo sighed.
"Liu Bao has been rebellious since childhood, refusing to obey discipline. He led the Tuge Hu tribe south to rebel. My father strongly opposed it, but his reprimands were useless. Furthermore, because my father asked me to lead the army to help the Han Dynasty suppress the rebellion of Zhang Chun, Liu Bao was furious. Ultimately, he was exploited by the Xubu clan to rebel against the tribe. As the Xubu clan grew in power, the nobles took advantage of this opportunity to kill my father and seize the position of Chanyu."
"I see."
Lin Han understood.
He understood that his grandson was rebellious and was used by others, which led to his grandfather being killed and his father being exiled to a foreign land, while the grandson was still able to lead others to cause chaos without any harm.
It's a bit bloody and a bit absurd, but in this era, there are many absurd things, so it's not surprising.
"General Xiao, please spare the Tugehu tribe." Yu Furuo requested again.
"Let me let the Tugehu tribe go? It's not impossible. If you let Liu Bao lead the Tugehu tribe to surrender, I can consider it." Lin Han said.
Yu Furuo was speechless. This matter was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
He himself has taken refuge in Han territory, so how can he persuade the Tugehu tribe?
"Since you can't do it, how can I promise you that? You're going to let my men go to the battlefield and not fight against the Tugehu tribe, and let them kill my soldiers?" Lin Han taunted him coldly, "Are you overthinking it?"
"He's just a child," Yuvro pleaded.
The corners of Lin Han's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand, signaling the guards to ask Yu Furuo to leave, otherwise he was afraid that he would chop Yu Furuo to pieces.
Anyway, Yu Furuo is not a good person.
Yu Fuluo led 20,000 soldiers and horses into Bingzhou. Due to the rebellion of Tugehu and the death of Qiang Qu, he could not go back and had no food or grass. In the later period, he had no choice but to rebel in Bingzhou and plunder food and grass in order to survive.
But that is a story of the past. In the game, Lin Han will not let this happen.
After seeing Yu Furuo off, Lin Han summoned many generals to the tent to discuss the battle.
The Bingzhou area was in chaos, with the Baibo Army in the south and the Xiongnu in the north. The Baibo Army was not a threat, and Lin Han was more interested in dealing with the Xianbei and Xiongnu.
Bai Qi, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai are among them.
"Everyone, here's the military intelligence our spies have gathered. The Tuguhu are causing chaos in Wuyuan and Shuofang Commanderies. The Southern Xiongnu, Xubu clan, have entered Xihe Commandery, captured Meiji City, and killed the Xiongnu Lieutenant General. To the east is Budugen's tribe, north of Yanmen in Yunzhong. They're currently engaged, and Budugen has the upper hand."
"My lord, isn't this trip aimed at Tugehu?"
When Xi Zhi saw the location Lin Han mentioned, he realized something was wrong and asked in surprise.
"Is the Tugehu tribe worthy of my leading 20,000 demon guards and engaging in such a large-scale war? I have received orders to conquer the Tugehu, but the Tugehu tribe has fled north and east. Shouldn't we pursue them?"
Lin Han's words have a special meaning.
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other in surprise, with an expression of "I understand".
That’s right.
They led troops to attack the Tugehu tribe, but the Tugehu tribe fled with their troops. Couldn't they give chase?
I have to say that the lord is indeed a veteran who has fought on the battlefield.
"My idea for the Tugehu tribe is to kill some and let some go, letting them flee north and east."
Lin Han drew two routes of advance on the map.
The meaning is very clear. This time, the lord wants to pacify the Xianbei as well.
Good courage and good means.
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were both excited about joining Lin Han's team for the first time, while Bai Qi, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu were much calmer.
If it weren't for the restoration of Zhou Bo last time, they would have already stepped into the Xianbei Danhan Mountains.
"In that case, we can go west first to quell the rebellious Xiongnu in Shuofang. Let the Tugehu and Budugen tribes fight for a while. Then we can go north and east to drive the Tugehu tribe into the desert. We can use this as an excuse to pursue the Tugehu tribe and enter the heartland of the Xianbei." Xun Yu said.
"It's also possible to divide the troops."
Xi Zhicai pointed at the map and drew a line on it.
"We have 30,000 guards of the capital, 20,000 demon guards, and 30,000 captured bandits. One group will go to Shuofang, and another group will go to Wuyuan. Surround three of them, capture one, kill five, and leave five. We will advance slowly and drive the Xiongnu north.
