Chapter 35 Sending Troops

Luoyang, the first city in the world, has not been destroyed by Dong Zhuo, and it is still very prosperous.

"Youzhou Emergency!" The people on the side of the road avoided it like they saw a plague god, and when they encountered this kind of emergency military situation, even if they were hit and killed, they would die in vain.

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Han Ling looked at the ministers below and said, "What do you Aiqing think?" "This time is not the time of the last dynasty, but this time Wuhuan went south, and the situation was very critical, so Emperor Han Ling convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Wuhuan people are almost pouring out of the nest this time, and the plan must be not small, I am afraid that they can only send troops to hit them hard to force them to retreat." Taiwei Yang Biao replied.

Everyone else also nodded, there was a rare lack of dispute in this kind of matter, and Emperor Han Ling was also very relieved to see it, feeling that this group of courtiers was not useless, at least they really took care of the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, with Youzhou's troops, I'm afraid it's far from being Wuhuan's opponent, and I implore Your Majesty to send troops to help Youzhou immediately." General He Jindao.

"The soldiers of Youzhou are only 100,000 people, and there are nearly 200,000 Wuhuan people this time, fortunately, the Wuhuan people are not good at attacking the city, and Youzhou can still be held in a short time, please Your Majesty must send troops to rescue." Sikong Yuan Fengdao.

"I decided to send 100,000 troops to meet Wuhuan, I don't know which general is willing to lead the troops north." Emperor Han Ling glanced at everyone and replied.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to share the worries of the king." The general took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the general leading the troops is overkill, so it is better to send Yuan Shao, the captain of the division, to lead the troops north." Although Yuan Feng and He Jin stood together to deal with the Ten Standing Attendants, it did not mean that they were really a family, and Yuan Feng naturally did not want He Jin's power to be further enhanced.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Yuan Shao has no experience in leading troops, and it is not trivial to go to fight against Wuhuan, so a veteran general should be sent there." Yang Biao objected.

Emperor Han Ling looked at the ministers who were arguing into a pot of porridge below, and the good feeling that had just risen instantly disappeared.

"Enough, above the court, what kind of system is it to be so noisy?" Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but roar.

"The ministers are guilty." The ministers below were also single, and when they saw that Emperor Han Ling was angry, they knelt down directly to ask for their guilt and admit their mistakes, so that Emperor Han Ling could not hold on to it.

"Spread my will, and confer the advice of the doctor Zhu Jun as the right middle lang general, the Beidi Taishou Huangfu Song as the left middle lang general, and the Lujiang Taishou Lu Zhi as the Beizhong Lang general to command the 100,000 army to meet Wuhuan, with Lu Zhi as the commander in the army, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song as the auxiliary, and ordered Guangyang Taishou Gongsun Zhan, right Beiping Taishou Yao Jie and Shanggu County Taishou Zhang Pingzhong to be controlled by Lu Zhi and fight together." Emperor Han Ling ordered.

Because of Yao Jie's little butterfly, history has quietly changed, and the rebels of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, who were supposed to capture the equal land of Youbei, were eliminated in advance, and Qiu Liju, who followed Zhang Chun against the Han Dynasty, did not openly rebel until now, and went south with the power of the clan.

Originally, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion two years later, he was named Zhonglang General, and Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song led the troops to fight in advance.

"General, the Wuhuan people are divided into four routes this time, and they go to Guangyang, Yuyang, Shanggu and our right Beiping." Captain Chen Chen said.

Chen Chen was one of the first few people to be promoted to lieutenant, and was dispatched by Yao Jie to Junmi County.

At this time, Yao Jie had already arrived in Junmi County because of his early departure, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also received Yao Jie's order to leave 2,000 soldiers and horses each in Xu Wu and Wuzhong County, and the remaining soldiers were all assembled in Junmi County.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei set off late, Xu Wu was relatively close to Junmi, Guan Yu had already led two thousand soldiers and horses to Junmi, and Zhang Fei still needed about three days to arrive.

"There are more than 40,000 cavalry in Wuhuan who divided his troops to my right Beiping, and after Captain Zhang arrived, our army should have 23,000 people in Junmi County, including 10,000 cavalry, 3,000 longbowmen, 5,000 sword and shield men, and 5,000 pikemen." Yao Jie summoned his generals to Yadao in Junmi County.

"General, the training time of our army's cavalry is still short, and it is not yet able to compete with the Wuhuan cavalry, coupled with the disparity in numbers, the Wuhuan people are twice as large as ours, so our army should not fight with Wuhuan in the field, when sticking to Junmi County, the message for help has been sent to Luoyang, I believe that the imperial court will soon send reinforcements to reinforce." Chen Chen suggested.

After listening to Chen Chen's suggestion, Yao Jie nodded with satisfaction, he had always been optimistic about Chen Chen, and now it seemed that Chen Chen had indeed lived up to his expectations.

"General Ben ordered to grab grain in advance and let all the people withdraw into the county seat, has it been completed?" Yao Jie asked.

"Report to the general, the people from all over the country have withdrawn into the city, and the grain harvest has been completed, but because of the early harvest, there is a great loss of food." Guan Yu said.

Yao Jie's move is to clear the wilderness, Wuhuan going south is nothing more than robbing money, food, and people, Yao Jie will withdraw the people into the city, and it will be difficult to guarantee the grain and grass of the Wuhuan people, after all, the Wuhuan people lack the most food and grass, otherwise they will not be able to go south to plunder, secondly, Yao Jie is most afraid of the Wuhuan people to drive the people to attack the city, and he will be very embarrassed at that time, so as to prevent the Wuhuan people from making this kind of trick, but if it really happens, Yao Jie will also order to continue the attack, the lives of the people are important, but the lives of the soldiers under his command are also important, Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, and they all have families (although most of Yao Jie's subordinates are homeless), but if Yao Jie wants to make a choice between the two, he still chooses his own soldiers, if the city is broken, it will not be these people who will die, but more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 30,000 people in the city.

"Report to the general, the Wuhuan people have come to the city." A soldier reported.

"Let's go, go up to the city wall with Ben." After Yao Jie finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

Yao Jie and others walked on the city wall, only to see countless Wuhuan cavalry in the distance slowly approaching, the number of people is boundless as soon as it exceeds 10,000, outside is the Wuhuan vanguard, there are more than 10,000 people, many recruits who have not been on the battlefield have already grasped their weapons, and their palms are full of sweat, but at this moment the results of Yao Jie's strict training are shown, although everyone is very nervous, but no one is out of control, everyone sticks to their posts, plus many of Yao Jie's subordinates are rolling out of blood with Zhang Chun, they are veterans, Now they are not nervous, and those recruits are more relieved to see it, and the morale of the army has stabilized for a while.

Seeing that the Han army was not overwhelmed by his momentum, Qiu Liyan, the commander of Wuhuan, ordered: "Wuhuan warriors, follow me." "Qiu Liyan is Qiu Liju's nephew, and he is also brave in the Wuhuan army, plus he has the relationship of Qiu Liju, so he became the commander of ten thousand and became the vanguard of Wuhuan this time.

Qiu Liyan inquired before he came, although Yao Jie, the Taishou of Youbeiping, had 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they were all recruits, although Yao Jie stepped on the corpse of the Wuhuan people, but Qiu Liyan didn't think that Yao Jie could do anything with 30,000 recruits, after all, these recruits had only been trained for two months.
