According to common sense, if you can train a team of brave and capable warriors in ten years, you are considered a powerful person.

Even for Wu'an Lord Li Mu, it took several years, several years, and almost ten years to train an elite army capable of defeating the Hu people.

However, the Han State was able to build an invincible armored cavalry army within a few years with only the two states of Shu and Liang.

It is simply unreasonable to marry his mother!

Even if you are a disciple of the sect, you still have to be reasonable, right?

You are not a descendant of the Immortal Sect!

Can every horse produced by your horse farm be used as a war horse?

Your war horses don’t need to eat food?

Your cavalry doesn’t need training?

Oh, I know this, amazing skills and tricks!

Five years of hard training in riding skills is no better than one year of practicing in stirrups. Such tricks are simply unreasonable!

Not a son of man!

…

Every time I think about this carefully, even for a scheming person like Sima Yi, I feel a little frightened.

The Wei Dynasty has suffered successive defeats in recent years, which on the surface seems to be a crime of war.

In fact, it was the unreasonable rapid advancement of Han's strength and the rapid changes that were difficult to accept and even more difficult to understand.

Thinking about it now, it was precisely because the Wei Dynasty did not react at all, or was unable to understand these huge changes in the Han Dynasty, that it was constantly at a loss and made mistakes in response to the opponent's continuous advancement.

By the time he reacted, the general trend of the world had already changed.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel despair.

However, Taifu Sima could only hide this despair in his heart and did not dare to mention it to anyone easily.

Not only because I have no way out, but also because I feel unwilling in my heart.

"Master Taifu," Tuoba Xilu, who had completely calmed down at this time, said tentatively, "the number of soldiers under your command is only more than that of the Han State, not less than that of the Han State, plus guarding the pass."

"Then Feng Wen, well, no matter how powerful Feng Wen is, it won't be easy to break through the Taihang Mountain pass and enter Hebei, right?"

Being able to be sent by Tuoba Liwei as an envoy to Southern Xia to see the world, Tuoba Xilu may not have much knowledge about the Central Plains, but he is certainly not a fool.

Taifu Sima summoned him anxiously, probably because he wanted to ask his tribe to send troops to help.

But in Tuoba Xilu's view, not to mention that it was winter, the tribesmen on the grassland were making all-out efforts to fight against the White Disaster.

No matter how brave the warriors of the clan are, they are still made of flesh and blood and will freeze to death. How could they risk a white disaster and go south at this time?

Besides, the eagles on the grassland will only stay with the eagles in the air, and will not fall to the ground to stay with the pheasants.

If Wei, despite being numerically superior and having the right time and place, cannot defend the Taihang Mountain Pass, then they will lose the qualification to form an alliance with the Grassland Eagle.

The scheming Sima Yi immediately noticed Tuoba Xulu's thoughts.

He couldn't help but curse secretly in his mind.

Why do you think your Aweng Tuoba Liwei formed an alliance with me instead of surrendering to the Han Kingdom?

If you really want to lose something to Hebei, do you think that just your Tuoba Xianbei can stop someone from Feng of Han?

Not to mention Xianbei and Kebineng in the west, even Budugen is stronger than you Suotou.

But what's the result?

I really can't defend Hebei, so all of you will just wait and work as laborers for God Feng Wen!

"Taihang Mountain can naturally be defended. No matter how powerful Feng Mingwen is, he is still a human being, not a god."

Even if he is a god, he is still the god of you prairie barbarians.

No matter how elite the Han army was, it was impossible for them to cross the mountains and capture the Taihang Mountain Pass in winter.

"What I'm worried about is not the Taihang Mountains, but the grasslands in the north." Sima Yi said solemnly, "Mr. Tuoba, you must have heard the story of Feng Wenshen crossing the desert from Liangzhou and entering Bingzhou from the north."

"No one can guarantee whether he will repeat his old trick of sending troops from Pingcheng to bypass the grassland and go south."

Of course, Taifu Sima would not tell Tuoba Xilu. He was almost certain that as long as there was a chance, someone Feng would definitely emerge from a certain pass in the north of Youzhou, Jizhou.

Since the fall of Bingzhou, the Hu people in the area from Pingcheng to Juyongguan have been almost completely wiped out by the Han army.

Although there was no direct evidence, Master Sima knew that it was definitely Feng's handiwork.

How else to explain the battle at Youzhou Frontier Fortress?

Clearing out the barbarians in the north of Jizhou in advance would seemingly cut off Jizhou from obtaining horses from the grassland.

In fact, in wartime, the battlefield can also be easily covered. With the ability of the Han cavalry, it is not difficult at all to set off from Pingcheng and raid Wuruan Pass (i.e. Zijin Pass).

Wuruan Pass is one of the nine passes in the world.

In addition, Master Sima suffered another big loss.

Naturally it is impossible to notice this.

Therefore, before the war started, he had already sent people to reinforce Wuruan Pass and strictly defend it.

Defending the Wuruan Pass will not only prevent the Feng thieves from coming from the northern grasslands, but also prevent the Han army from entering Jizhou from Puyinxing.

It's just that although the north of Jizhou is on guard, the north of Youzhou also worries Sima Taifu.

Compared with a Wuruan Pass that can guard the enemies on both sides of the north and west, Juyong Pass in Youzhou, which is also one of the nine passes in the world, protects the safety of the entire Youzhou.

Not to mention, Yanshan Mountain, which stretches to the north of Youji and Hebei Provinces, has countless mountain passes, large and small.

Although these mountain passes cannot allow large armies to march in from the grassland, small groups of thieves can come and go and harass them without any problems.

This means that this battle seems to be using the Taihang Mountains to prevent the Han army from advancing eastward, but in fact, a large number of troops are also required to be deployed on the northern border defense line.

It can even be said that the front line of this battle is extremely long.

This is also the reason why Sima Taifu summoned Tuoba Xulu.

Isn’t it just at this time that allies on the grassland are used?

As long as they send troops, they are not expected to defeat the Han army entering the grassland. As long as they can continue to harass from the rear, the Han army will not dare to easily attack the pass from the north.

Even as long as they can detect the main force of the Han army in the grassland and inform themselves in advance so that they can be prepared, the pressure in the north will be reduced a lot.

After listening to Taifu Sima's analysis, Tuoba Xulu finally understood.

Well, this is indeed a problem.

Even the leaders of the western Xianbei tribes and the central leader Kebineng were defeated by Feng Wenshen, which is enough to illustrate the power of the Han army's cavalry.

"It's just Taifu. No matter how powerful the Han army is, there is thick snow on the grassland at this time. How can their horses run?"

"Master Tuoba, Thief Feng has dispatched an army of 100,000 troops this time. Naturally, it is impossible to retreat easily." Sima Taifu cursed the fool in his heart and said earnestly, "Winter will pass, and spring will pass. Came."

"The snow in winter can certainly help us stop the Han army, but what about when the snow melts in spring?"

"So I ask you to send your men quickly, return to the tribe, and inform Chief Tuoba so that he can make preparations as soon as possible."
