The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 272 Retaliate with the way of others

Gongsun Kang looked at the Xianbei camp not far away, his mind turned sharply, thinking about the strange things in it.

The Xianbei people came aggressively, and after being blocked by the fortress for no reason, they stopped.

Compared with going head-to-head here, the Sanhan area in the south, which is his current base camp, has almost no defense. Why did the Xianbei people leave without dividing their troops?

This question puzzled Gongsun Kang, maybe Yang Yi and Liu Yi were right, the Xianbei people must be planning some kind of conspiracy!
But what conspiracy can the Xianbei people have?Besides cooperating with Goguryeo to attack his rear, is there any other possibility?
Will Goguryeo join hands with the Xianbei people?
Gongsun Kang felt that this possibility was too low.

It wasn't until half a month later that Gongsun Kang's doubts were finally answered. A remnant army dragged their flags backwards, in a scattered formation, and came to the entrance of the fortress from the southeast like a bereaved dog.

Just taking a look from a distance, Gongsun Kang recognized that this was his cronies who stayed in the south and stationed in Sanhan!

The leading general's face was covered with blood, and when he saw Gongsun Kang, he bowed his head, hugged Gongsun Kang's thigh, and cried bitterly:
"My lord, Goguryeo suddenly raised [-] troops and divided them into three groups to attack the land of Sanhan. Now...now..."

"What's going on now?!"

Gongsun Kang was shocked when he heard the words, grabbed the general by the collar, lifted him from the ground, and asked with wide eyes: "Quickly tell me! What's going on in the land of Sanhan?"

The general quickly replied: "Now, all the lands of the Three Koreas have fallen, only Nangang and Daifang Commanderies are still under our army's control..."

"My lord, withdraw your troops quickly! If you are too late, you will be flanked by front and back!"


After learning that his butt was copied by Goguryeo, Gongsun Kang looked numb, waved his hands decadently, and smiled wryly: "Retreat!"


Yang Yi also smiled wryly: "I didn't expect Xianbei people to use tricks."

But Liu Yi sighed: "How could Goguryeo join forces with the Xianbei people? I can't figure it out!"

Yang Yi also said: "Yeah, I can't figure it out either."

They couldn't figure it out, but Gongsun Kang figured it out now, and explained in a deep voice:

"It's not surprising. We want to destroy Goguryeo, but the Xianbei people just want to rob Goguryeo for a long time. Between being robbed and being destroyed, normal people should choose the former..."


"This time I was careless. I passed on my general order to immediately withdraw to Daifang County and rectify the troops in order to fight again!"

Yang Yi hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "My lord, it's too aggrieved to withdraw the army here, why don't you use your own way to treat your own body!"

As he spoke, Yang Yi took out a map from his pocket and unfolded it, pointed to a certain place on the map, and said to Gongsun Kang: "Please look, my lord, this is the old nest of Sanbu Dong Xianbei, which is only 500 kilometers away from my Daifang County." From Nangang around the sea, it is only more than 2000 miles, and it takes half a month to get there..."

The map at this time is very simple, just a few lines drawn at random. If you have not been there in person, you will definitely not be able to understand it just by looking at the map.

Fortunately, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi are both from Liaodong, and they have been familiar with the surrounding area since they were young, so they naturally know the terrain.

Therefore, it is clear at a glance.


That's right, the Xianbei cavalry is indeed hard to resist, but since the Xianbei cavalry has come to the peninsula, their old den must be extremely empty at this moment.

Countless cattle, sheep, horses, women, supplies...

What is the war about?Isn't it just materials!

What are the core elements of war?Isn’t it just to avoid reality and become imaginary?

Gongsun Kang laughed three times, and said to Yang Yi: "This plan is very suitable for me. I will hold the Xianbei people here. You will immediately go back to Nangang and lead an army of [-] sailors to go around the sea and attack their lair!"

"This time, I want the Xianbei people to have no descendants!"

After all, Gongsun Kang laughed out loud.

Yang Yi took the order and left.

It didn't take long for Goguryeo's soldiers and horses to attack from behind, forming a front and back attack with the Xianbei people.

But Gongsun Kang didn't panic, and only sent [-] soldiers to guard another fortress. The two soldiers and horses were in a corner, attacking when advancing, and defending when retreating, respectively resisting the northern and southern coalition forces.

The battle continues to be stalemate.

This time, it was the Xianbei's turn to be puzzled.

Before I knew it, another month passed.

The three chiefs Su Li, Mi Jia, and Que Ji all sensed that something was wrong, so they gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Su Li looked around the two, and said in a deep voice, "I think something is wrong, what do the two leaders think?"

Mijia nodded with a puzzled face: "It's really not right, Gongsun Kangqiang insisted on not retreating, it's so strange."


Que Ji frowned deeply, and said: "Our three coalition forces have been here for nearly two months. Do you think Gongsun Kang will divide his troops to attack our tribe?"


"No way, except for a small number of soldiers and horses staying in Daifang County, all his main forces are here and have not been mobilized."


Su Li looked at Que Ji and said uncertainly.


Mijia nodded slightly: "That's right, Gongsun Kang's infantry are all here, but don't forget, he still has [-] sailors who can attack our tribe by detour by sea."


Hearing this, Su Li and Que Ji were shocked, they stood up suddenly, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Oops!"

"Quickly withdraw the troops!"

They finally realized that now Gongsun Kang actually played a trick to attack the west. On the surface, he was holding the fortress and fighting to the death, but in fact it was very likely that he sent troops to attack their old nest.

Thinking of the consequences of the quilt in the old nest, the three of them felt chills down their backs, as if falling into an ice cave.

The whole person is spinning!

After realizing that something was wrong, the Xianbei soldiers and horses set off immediately without delay.

But how could Gongsun Kang let the Xianbei retreat easily?

In the past month, Gongsun Kang has not been idle, he separated out many small groups of soldiers and horses, and set up traps, hurdles, and boulders at various passes in the Changbai Mountains.

In this way, the return journey of the Xianbei cavalry is not destined to be peaceful.

The horses of the Xianbei cavalry were injured by traps from time to time on the way home, and they were greatly damaged; in addition, from time to time, there would be a sudden rain of stones and wooden formations on the mountain, and the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties.

It wasn't until this time that Xianbei realized why the Central Plains Dynasty was so powerful but didn't come to provoke the Korean Peninsula.

Not only is it not easy to come to this place, it is even more difficult to leave.

If one is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.

But at this moment, they had no choice but to retreat back to the North by the same route.

Gongsun Kang seized the opportunity and sent troops to pursue them from behind. When the Xianbei people were trapped in the narrow valley and difficult to see from head to tail, they killed them all.

After several battles in a row, they were all victorious. Eighty to ninety thousand Xianbei cavalry were killed and injured, and almost the entire army was wiped out.


In the end, Suli, Mika, and Queji fled back with only a few thousand people.

In August of the 17th year of Jian'an (212), Dongxianbei was defeated and the news of the annihilation of the entire army reached Yecheng. Cheng Yuanzhi was so shocked that he jumped three feet from his seat and remained silent for a long time.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that his decision to let Gongsun Kang go was extremely wise.

Dong Xianbei, who was so difficult to solve, was beaten and disabled by Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang not only wiped out nearly [-] Xianbei cavalry, but also cleaned up the Xianbei people's nest.

After this battle, the Eastern Xianbei would not be able to recover in hundreds or even thousands of years, even if the clan had not been wiped out.

Thinking that there will be no hidden dangers in the north from then on, Cheng Yuanzhi was overjoyed, and excitedly came to the inner room, and celebrated fiercely with Zhen Mi.

By the way, the Xianbei people are too naive, how can the Korean Peninsula be so easy to conquer?

As strong as Cheng Yuanzhi occupies eleven states in the world, he has never planned to attack the Korean peninsula.

there has never been!

The place on the Korean Peninsula is remote and mountainous, with difficult roads.

There are many ethnic groups around.

It is extremely uneconomical to rule.

Not only is there no tax, but the state also provides subsidies.

Therefore, in history, the Central Plains Dynasty has never had a strong will to annex North Korea like Japan did.

For Cheng Yuanzhi, the peninsula area is completely tasteless...

In another time and space, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed because of the invasion of North Korea, the entire army of millions was wiped out, and because of the waste of people and money, the decline of national strength, and finally perished.

There is also the Tang Dynasty, which was so powerful and rich. When it invaded the Korean Peninsula, it also used the foundation of the national treasury. In the end, it was overwhelmed financially. After a few years of occupation, it felt that it was not worthwhile, so it withdrew its troops from the Korean Peninsula.
