Chapter 0894: Hu'er's First Battle
Watching the soldiers rush out, Hu'er was also a little unable to sit still, and wanted to rush up several times, but was stopped by Jiang Wei and did not let him take risks, for this small tribe with less than 30,000 people, the southern army of the same size can achieve a crushing victory, and Zhang Liao did not relax his vigilance because of the small number of enemies, he still let the soldiers lurk in the night, and then carry out a surprise attack.
The effect of the raid was amazing, when the soldiers of the Southern Army stepped through the camp of the other party and entered the enemy group, these people did not even react, seeing that the knights of the Southern Army had already charged back and forth, at this time, Jiang Wei did not continue to stop the prince, Hu'er rode on a horse, and with an order, everyone followed behind him, and thousands of pro-troops also joined the battlefield with the rear army.
Just in a moment, the southern army has completed three back and forth charges, as for Hu'er, it was boiling blood, waving the spear in his hand, possessed, and stabbed the spear into the chest of a person head-on, and then pulled out the long sword, slashing in the crowd, but did not stop, this battle, did not last long, as the thief chief knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, everyone also knelt down.
However, when these people lost the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground, the people of the Southern Army surrounded them with ill intentions, you know, compared to the prisoners, the heads of these people have a greater role for the Southern soldiers and soldiers, these are all military exploits that can make them promoted, so they are all staring at these heads with fiery eyes, waiting for orders.
If the Southern Army does not accept surrender, why not? Because of the exploits.
Zhang Liao didn't give an order, rode a horse, and slowly came to the front of the thief chief, the thief chief was naked, trembling all over, Zhang Liao looked at him seriously, and asked with some disdain: "You are the king of Xianbei?" ”
"I'm not, I'm just a tribal chief, dare to be king?" , this guy is clever, and he can even speak Yayan, which made Zhang Liao a little surprised, and asked: "Then who are you, why do you speak Yayan?" ”
"I was originally from Ningzhou, and my family fled to Saiwai because of a crime, and I grew up outside Saiwai since I was a child, but Yayan has never forgotten... It's not easy to live outside the Saiwai, so I gathered the remnants of Xianbei and falsely claimed to be the great-grandson of King Xianbei, just thinking that I could attract more people so that I could go to Dahan to confess...", the man said, but Zhang Liao laughed, waved his hand, and shouted: "Lu Yi! You come and talk to him! ”
From among the crowd, a handsome young man walked out, which made Hu'er a little surprised, he also thought that Zhang Liao would find a fierce and vicious person to scare this sinner well, but this came out, how is it a young man with a beautiful face, he looked at the person with some curiosity, and wrote down the name of this person in his heart, Lu Yi came to the front of the person, and Zhang Liao ordered everyone to escort the captives and detain them around.
They could finally have a full meal here, and eat a hot meal, which dispelled the dissatisfaction of the soldiers with the disposal of the prisoners, and everyone laughed and began to occupy the tents of these people, and prepared a good hot meal, but Lu Yi only left the thief chieftain, and the thief chief stood up with a smile and said, "I am calling Wang Ping to meet this general." ”
"Well said, well said... How many years have you been here? ”
"It's been eighteen years."
"After so long, it seems that Your Excellency is also very familiar with Saiwai... Someone, get him a garment! As Lu Yi spoke, a soldier immediately brought a coat, and the thief chief was extremely excited, and he wanted to bow to Lu Yi, Lu Yi just smiled and asked, "Life outside the Saiwai is not easy, right?" The man shook his head and said, "It's really not comparable to a big man." ”
The two of them suddenly became like friends, Lu Yi didn't ask about the situation outside the camp, just asked about his family life, chatted slowly, chatted for a while, Lu Yi took him back to his camp, the soldiers were a little confused, or guarded at the door, occasionally heard the laughter from the camp, and those who didn't know thought that Lu Yi had rebelled.
Hu'er also took Jiang Wei and Lu Meng away, returned to the main tent, and ate a mouthful of hot soup, Hu'er talked about his achievements with great interest, he killed two enemies, and the three of them chatted, Hu'er asked: "The captain called Lu Yi, he looks good-eyed, what kind of talent does he have?" ”
"Your Highness, this person is a genius, the first person to be crowned in military science, quite popular with the general, when he got it in Xizhou, he was responsible for interrogating the thieves... He is a smart person, and he can often distinguish the truth and falsehood of the other party's words from just a few words, and can tell the truth...", Lu Meng said seriously, Hu'er was stunned, he had never heard Lu Meng praise people like this.
Jiang Wei also nodded and said, "Captain Lu is indeed extraordinary. ”
"It seems that I will have to find a time to visit him and ask him about the principles of war."
......
After a long time, Lu Yi came to Zhang Liao's camp, Zhang Liao was not surprised at all, and asked calmly, "Did you find out the news?" Lu Yi nodded, and said: "This person is not from Ningzhou, he is the descendant of the former Xianbei thief chieftain, he is afraid of being killed, Fang just lied, he said that he has been outside the Saiwai for eighteen years, but when he asked about his age, the situation at home, and asked about the situation in Ningzhou, he did not agree with the preface..."
"But he is very clear about the information of the thief chief, just now I deliberately slandered the thief chief, he actually conforms, in fact, he has already been furious... When I said it, he quickly confessed his guilt, and as for the situation outside the plug... What he said is also false...", Lu Yi said coldly: "This guy said that there are less than 40,000 Xianbei remnants outside the Saiwai, and the rest of the people have fled further north..."
"Oh?"
"Actually, no, most of the people in this camp are old and weak, and among those we have captured, there are less than 3,000 young and strong, in a Xianbei tribe, is this possible? I think that their young man must have gone out, and even, this person may not be the real thief chief...", hearing Lu Yi's words, Zhang Liao was shocked, it was very dark, he actually forgot to check the prisoners, this is where he is not qualified as the main general.
"It's not good, if we are young and strong, it will definitely affect our conquest... You take people to interrogate the captives separately, find out the truth, and by the way, inform the lieutenants that there are thieves around, don't take it lightly! ”
"Respectfully!" , Lu Yi bowed to him.
Lu Yi first sent people to inform the captains and prepare to meet the enemy, so he sent people to interrogate those prisoners, and he continued to interrogate the thief chief called "Wang Ping", so after tossing for half an hour, Lu Yi got the truth from the half-dead and tortured almost collapsed thief chieftain, it turned out that he was just a left-behind tribal lord, and he was indeed not a thief chief.
Several of them went to Hezhou, learned knowledge, studied for four years, and then fled back to Saiwai, attracting more than 80,000 Xianbei people, but they did not dare to attack the border of the Han Dynasty again, encountered such a cold winter, their thief chieftain took the gathered Xianbei people and horses to raid the tribes in the northeast, it is said that what is called Ding Ling, and even the remnants of Buyeo and Goguryeo who were defeated by the Han in the past.
Among these people, Xianbei Yu is the most powerful force, this is the credit of two people, one is the sandalwood acacia, he unified the Xianbei tribes, so that Xianbei has 400,000 people, 200,000 people who control the strings, which makes Xianbei the most powerful force outside the Saiwai, the second thing to thank is Duan Cheng, Duan Cheng did not spare the pursuit of Xianbei, beheaded more than 100,000, and died and injured countless due to disease, so that the Xianbei people only had more than 50,000 people left, almost perished.
All parties surrendered to the Xianbei forces, and also began to take revenge, which made matters worse, and it was precisely because of this that the Xianbei side became more united, and the Xianbei tribes that Tanshi Huai had not been able to integrate in their lifetimes were finally completed under the powerful annihilation of the clan, and after the integration, Xianbei worked together to break several tribes and expand the ethnic group, and once again reached the number of more than 80,000 people.
When Lu Yi informed Zhang Liao of the news he had discovered, Zhang Liao was also a little emotional, he didn't expect that the Han didn't know about these news, and he didn't know why those businessmen who often went out to trade didn't tell them about these things.
This expedition has such a harvest.
Zhang Liao hurriedly sent scouts to Yang County, Hezhou.
.....
Outside of Yangxian County, there is a well-ordered northern army camp, the difference between the northern army and the southern army, you can see at a glance, compared to the nouveau riche generally strong southern army, the northern army is adhering to hundreds of years of tradition, they are not smiling, even if it is an ordinary soldier, it is also full of murderous atmosphere, people like Huaxiong Lu Meng can't stay here at all.
Guan Yu sat on the top seat, stroked his long beard, and listened to the news from the scouts of the Southern Army, then nodded and said, "You go back and tell General Zhang that I will leave tomorrow and catch up with him earlier." ", the scout bowed, then left, sent him away, Guan Yu looked around, unlike the southern army, the northern army only had five captains.
And the five captains of the Northern Army, one is called Xu Huang, who used to be the pro-army of Captain Dong, one is called Pang De, who is a good general from military school, one is called Xu Chu, who is from the Xizhou garrison, one is called Cao Zhang, who is from the Jiaozhou garrison, and one is called Gan Ning, he never mentions his origin, but on the bright side, he is also the same as Cao Zhang, who was promoted from the Jiaozhou garrison.
On this expedition, Guan Yu only brought Xu Huang and Cao Zhang.
"General, I don't know what's going on? Aren't we going to conquer the tribes along the way? Why do you want to catch up with the Southern Army? ”
Cao Zhang asked puzzled.
"The intelligence is wrong, there are not many cavalry in the southern army, if you want to destroy all the enemy troops and not let one go, you still need us to go to the rescue."
"Heh...", Cao Zhang snorted disdainfully.
I don't know if it's against the Southern Army, or against the remnants of Xianbei.
