Chapter 316: Cruel Xu Rong

"Naturally, it is true, as long as our army enters the north, it can rob the enemy's grain and grass for our army's use, which is exactly what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War. Eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells; One stone, when I have twenty stones'. Pei Qing had a faint smile on his face, and patiently explained to Chen Qun and the others.

"Going deep into the enemy's army, this is a very dangerous thing, if there is any mistake, I am afraid it will bring extremely serious losses, this matter needs to be carefully considered." Chen Qun's heart was very shocked after hearing this, and he felt that Pei Qing was too risky to do this, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

However, Pei Qing said confidently; "Changwen, don't worry, this time we are nine out of ten, and we will definitely be able to take food from the enemy and successfully complete the task, because the general I am going to send is named Xu Rong."

"General Xu Rong? It turned out to be him! ”

"Yes, back then, General Xu Rong led the army to resist Yuan Shu's attack alone, and the Yuan Shu army was terrified, and he was full of urine, such a character will definitely be able to win this time."

"Exactly, I am also full of confidence in General Xu, this time the recovery of the northern land will use General Xu, and the Huns will not be unjustly defeated......"

As soon as Pei Qing mentioned the veteran Xu Rong, the army was full of praise, but Chen Qun was still a little worried, because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there has never been a winning general, Xu Rong was able to defeat Yuan Shu because he was on the defensive at that time, and he could realize the transformation of attacking and defending, and the sharpness of the Hun iron cavalry was not like Yuan Shu's army, and it was still a question whether he could be defeated in the end, especially if Xu Rong had to fight behind enemy lines, once defeated, the consequences were really unimaginable......

Pei Qing also saw his worries, so he said with a smile: "Changwen, don't worry, with Xu Rong's ability, there won't be anything wrong with this trip." However, Pei Qing didn't tell Chen Qun why he was so sure, because there was no way to explain the characteristics to others.

Xu Rong did not hesitate after getting Pei Qing's order, and immediately agreed, at this time Xu Rong was serving as Zuo Fengyi, not far from Chang'an, so the news was conveyed quickly, only half a day to receive Pei Qing's appointment, he immediately mobilized the army after receiving the order, received three days of rations and armor, and set off with five thousand soldiers the next day.

In fact, Xu Rong had secretly investigated the intelligence of the northern land before this, and it was he who immediately asked for orders to conquer the Xiongnu after the outbreak of the incident in the northern land, and it was he who proposed the method of taking food from the enemy to solve the problem of the food crisis.

Xu Rong and Pei Qing thought about it together, Xu Rong's ability was already top-notch, coupled with his Hu-breaking characteristics, this battle would definitely be invincible.

It was precisely because Xu Rong took the initiative to ask for war, and at the same time, he also knew that the probability that Pei Qing would agree could account for more than eighty percent, so he had secretly prepared when he sent someone to Pei Qing to send a letter to ask for war, so Xu Rong's actions would be so fast.

In order to be able to cause the effect of a surprise attack, Xu Rong's army went out day and night, and it was a detour, and the army came to Anding County, from Sanshui in Anding, directly over the mountains, and came to the hinterland of Beidi County.

At this time, the rations in Xu Rong's army had almost eaten, but Xu Rong was not panicked, he found his elite soldiers to disguise themselves, and found that there was a Hun camp not far ahead, where there were at least 100,000 cattle and sheep, and there were not many troops stationed, and the other party was not prepared, which was completely suitable for a sneak attack.

Xu Rong was very happy when he heard about it, he sent several waves of spies in a row, one was to confirm whether the news was accurate, to monitor the other party when he was twenty years old, to grasp the other party's dynamics, and to know that he only ordered the army to move at midnight.

It happened that this night in the heavy snowstorm, the cold wind howling, the cold wind biting, the Huns were shivering with cold, hid in the warm tent, even more defenseless, Xu Rong led the army under the cover of the wind and snow to the camp outside, an order, only to hear the whole army of soldiers shouting and killing earth-shattering, like a tiger down the mountain to the Huns who had no slightest defense to launch a fierce attack, many Huns did not get up, they were killed in the tent, and some of the reactions of the hurried resistance, but they were also stragglers, Even the armor and weapons are not complete, so naturally they have no combat power, and they are easily killed by the soldiers of the Han army......

In this night, Xu Rong killed more than 4,000 Hun soldiers, plundered 10,000 horses, nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep, so many livestock completely solved the problem of military supplies, enough for the whole army to eat for half a month.

But Xu Rong knew that he could not fight with so many cattle and sheep, because it would slow down his itinerary, which was not conducive to future battles, and he would even be besieged by the enemy's main force because of his slow march.

Of course, there are many herdsmen in the camp, these herdsmen can neither take them away, nor can they let them go, because once they leave, these people will definitely go to the clansmen near them, so once the other party has a defense, it will not be convenient for Xu Rong's next move.

Xu Rong really didn't change his bloody and cruel nature, he could even do the thing of cooking and killing Yingchuan Taishou before, what else can't he do now? So Xu Rong directly ordered all the people to be set on fire, leaving only more than a thousand women and children crying helplessly in the snowy night and the fire......

After receiving effective supplements, Xu Rong ordered the women and children to be guarded and rested for two hours, before abandoning the captives and leading a large group of men and horses to leave calmly.

Xu Rong burned and plundered everywhere in the next ten days, killing a total of 50,000 or 60,000 Xiongnu, plundering and killing 300,000 cattle and sheep, and 50,000 or 60,000 horses......

Not to mention, Xu Rong's cruel slaughter policy also made the Huns change their color when they heard it, so that Xu Rong's name made everyone in awe of the Huns, and it had the effect of stopping children's night crying.

The Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo got the news three days later, he was shocked to hear the news, and hurriedly mobilized troops to surround and intercept, but the whereabouts of Xu Rong's army have always been erratic, the Hun army looked for several days and found nothing, and what shocked Yu Fuluo even more was that after a few days, he heard a bad news again, Xu Rong didn't know when he actually led the army to the outside of Niyang City, and then took advantage of the main force of the Huns to go out of the city to search for his troops and the city was empty, and actually occupied Niyang City in one fell swoop, And the bloody massacre of the 5,000 old and weak Xiongnu troops left in Niyang, it is said that the 5,000 people were slaughtered, Xu Rong also built a "Jingguan" with the corpses of the Huns in the city, so as to deter the Huns.

"This Xu Rong is really too hateful, such a bloody massacre is really inhumane, pass my order, mobilize 50,000 troops to attack Niyang City with all their might, after breaking the city, I will definitely break this Xu Rong's body into 10,000 pieces, and avenge the dead clansmen!" Yu Fuluo was so angry that he trembled, and in anger, he immediately ordered to kill Xu Rong, the executioner, at all costs.
