Chapter 0897 - The Tiger General of the World

After learning the identity of the person in front of him, Cao Zhang visited him very heartily, he still had some pride in his heart that belonged to Situ, but he felt that Hu'er was so young, there was no need for him to compete, wouldn't it be good to admit his mistake? So, Hu'er saw the captain of the Northern Military Academy in front of him who bowed to him suddenly, and he was also a little stunned for a while.

Although Hu'er was young, he had been trained by the Son of Heaven in the Houde Palace, and he knew that he couldn't embarrass the Northern Military Academy too much, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, Captain Cao got up... I'm just curious, so I came to the Northern Army to take a look..", Cao Zhang smiled and got up, at this time, Hu'er noticed that the captain in front of him looked very different from the people in the Central Plains.

The pale yellow beard and fluffy hair have a strange appearance.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you should have come to the Northern Army a long time ago, our Northern Army especially welcomes His Highness to supervise the army, so I will take His Highness down for a turn?" , Cao Zhang asked with a smile, Hu'er naturally agreed, Cao Zhang took the prince, and then visited the northern army camp tent, all the way to Hu'er explained all kinds of the northern army, unlike the southern army, the northern army has a long tradition, Cao Zhang slapped his chest and bragged without pause.

This time the northern army came, but brought a lot of cavalry, and most of their horses were purchased from Xizhou and other places, tall and burly, these cavalry, just riding the tall horse, can stabilize the northeast outside the enemy, under Cao Zhang's explanation, Hu'er happily looked at nearly half of the envoys in the northern army, and then someone came to report, and General Guan asked Cao Zhang to go to the discussion.

"Your Highness.. This..", Cao Zhang looked at Hu'er on the side, Hu'er smiled, and said: "Let's go over together, I also want to meet this General Guan, I have heard a lot of his deeds... I heard that when he was crusading against Guishan, he was the one who took the lead! ”

By the time the two of them passed, all the captains of the northern and southern armies had arrived, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao sat at the front, but there was a vacant position, because they both had the same status, no matter who came to sit on the top, it would cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the other side, so the two people who had a good personal relationship did not give up their positions leniently, and the two were discussing the war.

Hu'er walked into the camp tent, and suddenly, Guan Yu led the generals of the Northern Army to get up suddenly, under the leadership of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, as well as several military horses of the Northern Army, all respectfully bowed to Hu'er, Guan Yu said seriously: "Wait for the ministers to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" Hu'er was also frightened by them, and hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Gentlemen, please get up!" ”

Guan Yu got up at this time, and suddenly, the southern army was a little embarrassed, they got along with Hu'er for a long time, but they were not so polite, but Guan Yu had already visited, they couldn't sit still, and they got up in a hurry, Zhang Liao was the same, they also seriously bowed to Hu'er, since entering the army, Hu'er has not been treated so politely, not to mention how excited they are.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Northern Army, he would have almost forgotten that he was still the prince, and Guan Yu said: "Please take a seat with His Royal Highness the Prince!" Hu'er smiled and looked at Zhang Liao again, Zhang Liao had no words, Hu'er was not restrained, and sat directly on the top position, so that he had the opportunity to look at the generals of the Northern Army, led by Guan Yu, sure enough, as Lu Meng said, he had a beautiful beard.

This person is very tall, it can be said that he is the tallest person Hu'er has ever seen except for Ye Ye, even if he kneels there, he can see his burly physique, even a head taller than Zhang Liao, his arms are thicker than Hu'er's thighs, squinting his eyes, he has a domineering spirit, and the people around him are much inferior to him.

"General Guan, I have heard of the prestige of the general, and I am really happy to see it today...", Hu'er said, Guan Yu stroked his long beard, and said proudly: "Your Highness has a good reputation... I heard that His Highness and the Southern Army are serving as supervisors, in fact, our Northern Army also welcomes Your Highness..."

"Ahem...", Zhang Liao hurriedly interrupted his old friend in front of him, and then said: "Let's continue to talk about the war... We don't know if the thieves know that the Lair has been captured by us, and if they do, they will either contact the rest of the forces to fight us together, or flee further north. ”

"Someone was sent from Buyeo not long ago, and it is said that a large number of cavalry passed by... Therefore, I guess that the other party is very likely to know the news of our coming, and has retreated from the Buyeo side towards Su Shen...", Zhang Liao pointed ahead, in front of Zhang Liao, there was still a map, Hu'er listened thoughtfully, and did not interrupt them.

"Changsheng, I think, we should leave a part of the soldiers here to defend it, in case others from intruding, take the cavalry out, and pursue lightly, if they abandon their lair and flee all the way, it will definitely be demoralized and unbearable, at this time, if we can catch up with them and launch a surprise attack, we can definitely bury these tens of thousands of migratory troops in the snowfield!"

Guan Yu looked at the map carefully, and then asked, "But how do we know their escape route?" ”

"We have quite a few captives... It can be divided into troops to pursue. ”

The two discussed, Hu'er just listened quietly, and when the two made a decision, Guan Yu asked seriously, "What does Your Highness think?" Hu'er was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be a chance for him to speak, he thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't understand these things when I'm young, and I still have to call the shots of the generals." ”

In this way, the plan of pursuit was also established by them, before leaving, Guan Yu sent an invitation to Hu'er, he hoped that Hu'er could go to the Northern Army to sit there, and when the Northern Army left, Jiang Wei and Lu Meng left the camp with Hu'er, Lu Meng complained: "Why is Your Highness so close to that Yellow Whisker of the Northern Army?" Don't you really want to go to the Northern Army to be a supervisor? ”

Hu'er laughed and asked rhetorically: "The position of the Southern Army Supervisor was given by my father, how dare I leave without permission?" ”

"Boyo..", Hu'er looked at Jiang Wei on the side again, and asked, "Everyone in the Northern Army, why are you so respectful to me?" Jiang Wei explained: "The Northern Army has been near Luoyang for many years, and they have been favored by the emperor for a long time, and they are also more stubborn and conservative... Ahem, it's not that they are more loyal than us, it's just that most of the sergeants and soldiers in the southern army are from rangers, but there are more people from good families in the northern army, and almost all the generals of the northern army are subordinate people..."

Jiang Wei's explanation was not very good, Hu'er didn't ask more, in the evening, he took the two of them, went to the Northern Army, to meet Guan Yu, for his arrival, the Northern Army is extremely welcome, the soldiers are even waiting in formation, Guan Yu led the soldiers, came to greet, Hu'er was in a good mood, and many soldiers met one by one, and finally entered the camp.

Guan Yu seems to be arrogant, but he is a very good person, knowing that the prince has begun to learn the ram, Guan Yu is also very happy, Lu Meng is also not at ease, obviously in the camp of the Northern Army, but it seems to be at home, leisurely, Guan Yu does not blame him, seeing Lu Meng holding a leg of mutton, regardless of etiquette, Guan Yu just laughed and scolded him.

"This guy... A close friend with me is simply carved out of a mold, but this guy is better, my old friend is even more muddy than this guy, much more muddy! When Hu'er asked him why he was so close to Lu Meng now, Guan Yu explained.

Hu'er still left, but his opinion of the Northern Army has changed a lot.

The next day, the Northern and Southern armies set out.

Zhang Liao took Hu'er with him, but he was not at ease to stay behind, Zhang Liao took a group of 3,000 cavalry, Guan Yu took a group of 3,000 cavalry, and the rest of the generals did the same, divided into ten groups of men and horses, and pursued them in different directions.

It is said that Guan Yu took people and successfully caught up with those thieves, the two sides fought and an area called shallow water, Zhang Liao learned the news, immediately changed direction, and hurried towards the battlefield, when Zhang Liao arrived with people, it had been two days since the scouts came.

On the scarlet snowfield, there are corpses of thieves everywhere, the northern army is cleaning up the battlefield, countless horses, baggage, and the rows of corpses piled up on the ground, in the whistling sound of the blizzard, the prisoners of war knelt together, like painful livestock were imprisoned in the circle, the northern army has set up camp here, followed Zhang Liao to see Guan Yu, Hu'er then knew that the enemy has been wiped out by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu just calmly talked about the battle situation that day, how he led the troops to easily catch up with these Xianbei remnants, how he killed the other party's chieftain, and how he chased and killed the prisoners, but seeing the bloodstains that the snow could not cover, Hu'er felt that the battle was definitely not as easy as Guan Yu said, or Cao Zhang pulled Hu'er and talked about this battle happily.

It is said that the scouts found the traces of the enemy, Guan Yu immediately sent people to inform the various military brigades, and he took people to kill the past, the Han army suddenly killed, so that tens of thousands of Xianbei remnants fled in a hurry, only the thief chief was trying to find a way to counterattack, General Guan charged ahead, in the army of tens of thousands of people, he was stunned to kill the opponent's Chinese army, and stabbed the thief chief to death with a spear!

The thieves who saw this scene were all heartbroken, but there were a few people who wanted to organize soldiers, but these people were killed by Guan Yu one by one, after that, Xianbei Yu only cared about fleeing everywhere, tens of thousands of people, stunned that there was no decent counterattack, Guan Yu led the cavalry back and forth, these long-distance migration people, horses were almost exhausted, how could they escape from the pursuit of the Northern Army?

When Cao Zhang brought people over, he only saw tens of thousands of prisoners and more than 20,000 corpses, that is to say, in this battle, Guan Yu only took 3,000 elites, and killed 20,000, such a record is simply unheard of, and now the eyes of the northern and southern armies looking at Guan Yu are a little different, that is, people like Lu Meng dare not be presumptuous in front of him.
