When Jia Xu and Xu Rong came to Xiangping, the New Year's Day was approaching. The land of Jizhou, heavy snow is falling, and Xiangping is dressed in silver. Xu Rong's army had already changed its military uniforms in Le'an, otherwise the soldiers would really not be able to stand the cold weather in Jizhou. Liu Ze greeted Xu Rong and Jia Xu, the army had already been placed in a military camp, and the state pastoral mansion held a feast to wash the dust for Xu Rong and Jia Xu.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Rong and Jia Xu already knew each other, and they were very excited to see each other at this moment.

At this time, Jizhou's military strength was nearly 600,000, but in terms of territory, Jizhou was more than ten times larger than Qingzhou, and the population was sparse, but it was an indisputable fact. With such a large army, although food is guaranteed, armor and weapons are a bit stretched. The 300,000 recruits have only been training for a few months, and it will take time to form combat effectiveness. The strategists and generals at the table had a particularly heated discussion.

The old god Jia Xu was there, drinking a little wine and feeling the warm atmosphere. Liu Ze picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Mr. Wenhe, General Xu Rong, it's not easy to travel, Ze toasted." Seeing Liu Ze speak, everyone stopped talking, Jia Xu and Xu Rong picked up their wine glasses, and Jia Xu said: "The prosperity of Jizhou is beyond Xu's expectations. Liu Ze said with a smile: "Governing Jizhou for several years, relying on the left and right to assist, it is not Ze's work." Xu Rong did not return to Liaodong for a long time, along the way to see the smoke is dense, the people are happy, pedestrians are crowded in the road, brightly dressed, compared to when he left Liaodong, I don't know how much better, I sighed in my heart, got up and said: "Ming Gong governs Liaodong, Zhuo has made great achievements, Rong has been away from home for ten years, and he almost doesn't know his home." "The New Year's Day is coming, why don't General Xu go back to his hometown to have a look? Wealth does not return home, such as brocade clothes at night. Guo Jia said with a smile. Xu Rong said: "I must go back to my hometown to see." Liu Ze whispered a few times to Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai stood up and said loudly: "What the state pastor just said is about everyone, please listen quietly." Seeing that Xi Zhicai didn't speak, he smiled and said: "On the tenth day of the New Year's Day, all the soldiers will have 1,000 baht and 5 catties of meat; 3,000 pieces of school captain and Sima money, and ten catties of meat; The shogunate is engaged in、Shoguns, each 10,000 dollars, 100 catties of meat。 Mr. Jia Xu and General Xu Rong's mansion is a residence, and the settlement fee is 100,000 yuan. "Can Jia Xu and Xu Rong be short of money? The key is the kindness expressed by Liu Ze. All the people present at the banquet stood up together and thanked the governor loudly for his reward.

Liu Ze asked everyone to sit down, picked up the wine glass and let everyone drink together, and said slowly: "The world is turbulent, and the Son of Heaven is covered with dust." There are nearly 600,000 soldiers in Jizhou, and there are only 100,000 elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Xianbei often provoked the side when he was young, and the princes everywhere only knew how to occupy land and raise soldiers. Ze can't help the Son of Heaven when he thinks about it, and he can't make all the people happy, and he feels guilty. Ze wants to make 600,000 soldiers become elites, sweep the world as soon as possible, and let the Han Dynasty have no defects, and all countries will come to the court, how can the princes teach me? "Just now, everyone was just discussing how many soldiers and generals in Jizhou, as for how to let the soldiers form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, is there any good way besides training? A few strategists exchanged heads, a few ideas, felt bad, shook their heads, and went to ponder. Jia Xu said slowly: "Lord, don't train your troops with battle. Liu Ze was stunned for a moment and said, "I want to hear it in detail." Jia Xu said: "Jizhou has plenty of food and clothing, and the soldiers are not afraid of the cold." After the New Year's Day, you can drive the grassland and fight with Xianbei. Xianbei is cold, the soldiers do not have many warm clothes, and when the cold winter comes, they belong to the tribe and are called cat winters. At this time, send troops, surprise attack its unpreparedness, one can weaken the Xianbei population, and the other is to teach Helian Xiao'er a hard lesson, so that he does not dare to offend my Jizhou. Liu Ze nodded, his eyes swept over Xi Zhicai Guo Jia and others, and saw that there was admiration in their eyes, so he said: "Just what Mr. Wenhe said." ”

The first day is the beginning of spring, although the sun returns, but on the vast grassland, it is still cold in spring. Wuhuan and Xianbei are in the same lineage, because of the persecution of the Xiongnu, moved to the vicinity of the Great Xing'an Mountains, so in the name of the mountain, living near the Xianbei Mountain is called Xianbei, and the Wuhuan Mountain is called Wuhuan. The Xiongnu were repeatedly attacked by the Han Empire, and their strength was sharply reduced, Xianbei and Wuhuan took advantage of the situation to rise, and the Xiongnu competed for the grassland, and the Xiongnu had to retreat to Kangju, and the Xianbei people occupied the vast grassland, but its population was mainly distributed on the border with the Han Empire. Su Wu sent the Xiongnu to be exiled to Beihai by the Huns, since it was exiled, it must be a sparsely populated place. The current name of the North Sea is Lake Belga, which belongs to Russia, and the reason why Su Wu is great is because in such a harsh environment, he actually persevered until he returned to the motherland. Xianbei was later divided into several large branches, such as Tuoba Xianbei, Duanbu Xianbei, Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and so on. Mr. Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" involves the descendants of two of the Xianbei tribes, namely Murong Xianbei and Duanbu Xianbei.

After the Zhengdan in Jizhou, he actively prepared for the war. After Shangyuan, the weather was already warmer, and Liu Ze ordered troops to be dispatched. The Goguryeo, Mahan, and Benhan took the initiative to ask for the front. The Goguryeo people plundered Fuyu and Lou, making some people rich first, which aroused the greed of many neighbors. Liu Ze naturally agreed.

300,000 Qingzhou soldiers gathered in various locations. The soldiers wore fur jackets, long combat boots, wolfskin hats, and sheepskin gloves, so that the Goguryeo, Mahan, and Benhan people who were ready to plunder on a large scale had a green light in their eyes. This set of clothes is also too good, looking back at what I was wearing, narrow jacket and short sleeves, blown by the wind, snot and tears can't stop flowing, I slept on my little padded jacket tightly, and secretly swore that when I went to the grassland to kill and plunder, I had to get a fox fur jacket to wear.

The 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers were divided into ten teams, and there were 5,000 veterans behind each team. In this way, the number of troops sent by Jizhou reached 350,000, and the number of three aliens who rushed to hear the news reached nearly one million. Three aliens took the lead and rushed towards the grassland with a roar.

The Xianbei people who were still in Maodong were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Goguryeo, Mahan, and Benhan, and the tribe's supplies were quickly looted, and the Jizhou soldiers in the rear became logistics soldiers, busy gathering the remaining young and strong together, and sending them to the Jizhou border, where there were specially placed and contained, and when there were enough people, they were sent to Heishui for military cantonment.

When the night came, the Jizhou soldiers lit countless bonfires on the open grassland, and when the fire was a little weaker, the fire was moved aside, and a military tent was quickly erected in the place where the fire had been burned, and then spread soft hay, lying down, warm and comfortable, that cool. The soldier in charge of the guard, wrapped in a thick leather mattress, leaned against the haystack, looking out at the dark wilderness in the distance, and the gong was placed within easy reach. Farther away, there were scouts on horseback.

In the Xianbei royal court of Danhan Mountain, Shan Yu and Lian, in his cowhide tent, drank Jizhou burning knives, and teased the Yan family around him from time to time, and when he was full of wine and food, He Lian vented on his Yan family, and fell asleep beautifully. In his sleep, he galloped his horse across the vast grassland, green weeds, countless unknown wild flowers, dressed the grassland so beautifully, and Lian sang grassland folk songs loudly, beating horses and galloping. A thunderclap rose in the sky, and among the layers of clouds, a golden dragon pounced towards Helian, the golden dragon's body flashed with dazzling light, and the stabbing Helian narrowed his eyes. The golden dragon flew, the huge dragon claws grabbed at Helian, Helian was shocked, and whipped the horse under the crotch hard, the war horse was a divine horse, how could it run past the golden dragon that came from the volley, the golden dragon's claws had already grabbed Helian's back, and the heart-piercing pain made Helian scream. When he heard the shout, he turned over and saw Helian's body shaking, his expression was painful, and he hurriedly shook Helian. He Company Commander breathed a sigh of relief, woke up, wiped his sweaty face, and said confusedly: "Am I still alive?" ”
