Shefu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Although ordinary herders were not considered human in their eyes, they could still bring some benefits. To consume them like this was something that not everyone could do.
Li Ru smiled and said, "This person was able to unite the Xianbei in the east from humble beginnings, so he is certainly no ordinary person."
What I'm curious about is, what conditions will he use to persuade the Yuwen tribe to help him?
"Oh dear, let's talk about those issues later. Sir, please tell us about a strategy to repel the enemy. If the Xianbei really mobilize 90,000 troops, then we're truly doomed!"
Seeing that Li Ru suddenly started thinking about other issues, She Fu became anxious and asked for a strategy to deal with the enemy.
Now that he has been forced to leave the Wuhuan homeland by the Han Dynasty, if this place is lost as well, then he will really have nothing left.
Li Ru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Repelling the enemy isn't difficult, it just depends on whether you can make the decision!"
"As long as I can save the tribe, what can't I do?" Shefu said resolutely.
"Very well, since you are so determined, I have a plan!"
As he spoke, Li Ruduan stood up and said in a solemn voice, "If we want to repel the enemy, we need to implement two strategies simultaneously."
"Which two strategies?" Shefu asked.
Li Ru said in a deep voice: "First, with the Xianbei army coming out in full force this time, the tribes in the rear must be vulnerable. You can send a force of 5,000 light cavalry to raid the Xianbei rear. Each force only needs to leave one or two messengers behind to disrupt the enemy's morale."
Secondly, since the first point requires time, you should also gather all the able-bodied men of the tribe, equip them with bows and arrows, and build numerous camps along the river three hundred li south of the tribe, one every twenty li, with five thousand men stationed in each camp to defend it, using a step-by-step strategy to slow down the enemy's advance.
"So... does that mean we also have to use all our able-bodied men to fight them head-on?"
Upon hearing Li Ru's plan, She Fu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
If they were to fight to the death in this way, even if their tribe won, they would be crippled and might not be able to recover for twenty or thirty years.
"There is no other way!"
A glint of light flashed deep in Li Ru's eyes, and then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
