The strong man was shot to death, there was a commotion in the camp of the Huns, followed by a noise, the cavalry began to run around the farm, more than 500 war horses galloped momentum is also extremely impressive, and even from time to time will approach the farm to shoot a wave of arrow rain, although the soldiers guarding the village shoot far, the other party runs like this, it is not easy to hit.

"What do they mean?" Zhou Tong looked at the other party walking around like this, and looked at the little official beside him with some puzzlement.

"Probably to say that you don't speak of faith, coward, and don't accept the warriors who shoot them with arrows." The little official said in a low voice.

Zhou Tong only felt unreasonable, those five horses went to gamble on a camp, if the big man sent the fierce generals such as About, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun or Ma Chao, it wouldn't take long, not to mention the Hetao, the grassland could be leveled, why did they work hard to build a farm and build the Great Wall in the area of the West River?

This is a fighter, it is clearly here to find trouble.

Zhou Tong wanted to rush out and fight with this group of Hu people, but reason kept him calm, and now he rushed out, he would only be consumed alive by the Huns, and he came to Hetao for a few months, and he also had an understanding of the Hu people's tactics, if the infantry met the Hu cavalry on the plain, if it was a head-on impact, the Hu people would be defeated, but the Hu people would rarely confront you head-on, they would wander around you, like wolves waiting for the best hunting time, once you showed fatigue, it was the time for them to show their fangs.

Even if you have the advantage of armor, you can't resist this method of consumption.

"Bad luck!" Zhou Tong snorted coldly, and ordered the soldiers to guard the camp, and at the same time let go of wolf smoke to let the people in other farms be careful.

Now the Han army is scattered troops in the Hetao, and if they really fight, they will be easily besieged and killed.

……

"Sikong, this is news from the direction of Hetao, in recent days, several Hun cavalry have attacked and harassed various farms, and even bypassed the farms in front of them to plunder deeply, and many farmlands have been trampled." When Deng Ai and Mi Wei arrived, Liu Yi was still studying the sand table to check for shortcomings.

"I know." Liu Yi nodded, in recent times, there have been a lot of bad things, the Huns began to organize part of the troops to loot, seeing Deng Ai and Mi Wei frowning, Liu Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, our grain and grass, it's still okay to feed these people, let them guard the farm, don't go out of the village to fight with the enemy." ”

The method of cavalry and archery of the grassland people, that is the ability of people to eat, the Han army can't learn it even if it learns, no matter how good it is, it can't compare to others, so it can only follow the tactics of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and fight with the Hu people in a close-quarters way, but this has extremely high requirements for the commander, Ma Dai and Pang De are good generals at the moment, but the problem is that they are all new troops on their side, and there are no formed cavalry, how can they have time to train the kind of commandos who can fight hand-to-hand combat?

"But in this way, those tribes who have just joined will probably have complaints." Mi Wei smiled bitterly.

"I eat and drink for them, not for them to complain to me." Liu Yi sat down, shook his head and said: "Now if you want to naturalize it, we will focus on appeasement first, and then rectify it when this battle is won, which is also a good thing, which shows that what we have done during this period of time has made these Huns and Xianbei people feel pain." ”

"But if the Huns move south......," Mi Wei worried.

"Impossible." Deng Ai shook his head and said: "The main force of our army is still here, if they dare to go south, our army can directly attack its royal court, and now it is the limit to be able to gather these people and horses, if you want to mobilize troops on a large scale, you need to wait until after mid-autumn." Deng Ai shook his head, he was not worried about this, no matter whether it was the Xiongnu or Xianbei at the moment, it was impossible to gather too many troops.

"But it's really not okay to let them show off their power like this." Liu Yi nodded and said to the guards outside the door, "Go and ask General Pang De to come over." ”

"Whoa!" The guard said yes and turned to leave.

Soon, Pang De came in from outside the door, bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Sikong." ”

"The generals and the people who are good at riding gather together, and the generals can also form an elite cavalry, wear crossbows, cross the river to the Hetao, and go to the Hetao every few days to attack and disturb, pick those small tribes who are unwilling to accept the farm rectification plan, leave some alive and put them back, so that the other tribes can prepare more slaves, we not only have to lure, but also coerce." Liu Yi handed over an arrow to Pang Dedao.

"Whoa! But the matter of training ......" Pang De agreed, and then looked at Liu Yi, those who know how to ride in the army, let alone a general or a team leader or something, can gather hundreds of people, but as soon as these people leave, who will lead those soldiers and horses?

"For the time being, Shizai is in charge, he is your general, and after you leave the camp, Shizai will continue to supervise the army." Liu Yi pointed at Deng Ai and said with a smile, Deng Ai is not only good at Tuntian, but also a good hand at fighting.

"The last general commands!" Deng Ai hurriedly agreed.

"Go ahead." Liu Yi waved his hand and motioned for them to do this matter as soon as possible

The two of them took their leave, this transfer of military power could not be completed in a while, and the two had to make some plans, such as where to attack and when to attack.

Liu Yi directly let them do it, he is only responsible for assigning tasks, as for how to complete the task, it is the general's business, but from a strategic point of view, Liu Yi obviously gave up dealing with those who attacked the farm this time, and dealt with the Huns by hurting each other.

Of course, Liu Yi has a thick foundation, with the entire Han as the backing, the loss of these cultivated fields, Liu Yi's side can afford to lose, but the Huns can not afford to lose, although there are not many people led by Pang Tong, but they are all elite and even generals in the army, and they also hold the most sophisticated crossbow in their hands, which can largely make up for the disadvantages of cavalry and archery, the Huns may not be able to break through the farm, but in terms of the defense level of the Hun tribes, it is very easy for Pang De and others to attack some small and medium-sized tribes, even if the other party is a soldier.

"Zhou Tong?" Liu Yi glanced at the letter sent by Ma Dai again, and said with a smile: "This person is a little familiar. ”

"Back to Sikong, Zhou Tong was under Sikong as early as when Sikong resisted Cao Ren in Hanzhong and ambushed Cao Hong, and later traveled to various places, all of them rushed to the front line, known for not being afraid of death, and made a lot of contributions during the battle of Guanzhong, and now he is a captain of Zhichong." Mi Wei bowed.

"Captain Rush? How could it be here? Liu Yi looked at Mi Wei in amazement, no matter how bad the captain is, he can't use it as a general?

"This time, there is actually no such person, it is he who took the initiative to ask to go to the front line to fight." Mi Wei said with a smile: "I don't know, this person is warlike, he must go forward in every battle, and he is known for not being afraid of death, and now although he is promoted, he will be uncomfortable if he doesn't go into battle to fight, so this time he should have been the deputy general of General Ma Dai, but he asked General Ma Dai to transfer him to the front line." ”

"Is there such a person?" Liu Yi was a little amazed, sure enough, there are no wonders in the world, but it's not strange to think about it, this Zhou Tong is a general who has been killed step by step from a pawn, and the perennial fighting may have made him inseparable from the battlefield, in his previous life, there was a professional medical term for this kind of problem, which is a kind of mental illness.

However, Liu Yi is not a psychiatrist, this kind of thing, except for feeling the cruelty of the troubled times, and turning an honest person into a madman, he can't do much about it, and such a disease can only be called a disease when it is peaceful and prosperous, but in the troubled times, it is the quality that a good general should have.

"You go and do something for me." Liu Yi looked at Mi Wei and smiled.

"Please command." Mi Wei hurriedly bowed and said.

"I selected a batch of supplies before, including cloth, silk, porcelain and some food, and you can help me send them to the Tuoba Department." Liu Yi handed a piece of paper to Mi Wei and said: "Take this, they will give it to you, remember, when you go, you have to make a big noise, you have to pass through the area of the Huns, and spread this matter, but don't say more, even if it is a matter for the Xianbei people, it can't be said by you, it must be covered up, but it must be really let the Huns know, how to grasp it, you can see for yourself." ”

"Whoa!" Mi Wei hurriedly bowed down and said, maybe his political sense is not too sharp, but for Liu Yi's order, he can understand that merchant trade, such a method is often used.

took the warrant and was about to say goodbye and leave, but when he saw Mi Zhu's chubby figure coming in from outside the door, Mi Wei hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father." ”

"My son is too." Mi Zhu nodded, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and smiled at Liu Yi: "Bo Yuan, guess what's going on?" ”

"The war in the Central Plains has come to an end?" Liu Yi looked at Mi Zhu and asked with a smile.

"How does Bo Yuan know?" Mi Zhu asked with a smile.

"It's written on your face." Liu Yi stretched out his hand, took the bamboo slip from Mi Zhu's hand and opened it.

Zhao Yun's pacification of Xiqiang, Liu Yi knows, in fact, there is no Cao Wei's matter, this side has also been fighting, Zhao Yun annexed in Lingju, set his own rules for the Qiang people to challenge, and later the Qiang people rioted on a large scale, Zhao Yun broke the main force of the Qiang people in Huangshui, and shocked the Qiang in a battle, and the most important thing is that compared to Ma Chao's majesty, Zhao Yun defeated the main force of the Qiang people, and sent some grain and grass to some small tribes to tide over the cold.

The riot was subdued, and received favors, many Qiang tribes have been put into Zhao Yun's command, after the beginning of spring, Zhao Yun began to reclaim wasteland on a large scale, build a walled city for the Qiang people to live, although it is impossible to incorporate all the Qiang people, but now Zhao Yun has completely established himself in this Xiliang, replacing Ma Chao's position.

Kong Ming's plan has been realized, but unfortunately Ma Chao has been abolished, his position is high but he has no power, and now even his prestige has been replaced by Zhao Yun, Liu Yi doesn't know how to evaluate it, maybe this is karma, if you don't do anything more, you have to pay it back in the end.

However, what the bamboo slip said was that the Jiaozhou Shijia raised troops to attack, but they were almost wiped out by Meng Shu and others stationed in Yunnan, and the turtle retracted back to Jiaozhou and did not dare to commit it again.

This is good news, but the real war may have just begun.
