Chapter 13 Far Away Must Be Punished
Chapter 13 is far away
Lu Bu gathered everyone together and held a military discussion meeting together, but when it came to charging into battle, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were all right, but when it came to arranging troops and formulating strategies and tactics, none of them could do it, and only Li Su and Gao Shun could still make some suggestions and read some military books. This scene made Lu Bu deeply feel that there was a serious lack of military and division-type talents around him now, but how could any military advisor be able to look at his small and pitiful force now. Alas, you still have to rely on your own brain. Gao Shun was still the fastest reaction among the crowd, he looked at Lu Bu with a hint of excitement in his eyes, "Big brother, I think we should take the initiative to fight a battle and let these recruits see blood." "Oh, then tell me, where are we going to attack?" "The Huns are attacking Yunzhong County, so we should naturally cut off its way back and copy its back road." Gao Shun replied. "You can think of cutting off its back road, it's not bad, but since we attack, we should defeat the enemy with one move, since we have dispatched once, then we should go straight to the royal court of the right virtuous king, Zhuo Evil Mountain, they are now pouring out of the nest, the whole army will attack Yunzhong County, the royal court will not have too many soldiers and horses left, at most no more than three thousand, my Lu Bu's subordinates, if you can't use one enemy to three, or sneak attack, then these people don't want it." Hearing Lu Bu say that he was going to go on an expedition to the court of the Right Xian Wang, where did Cheng Lian, Guan Hai and others know that they were afraid, and they all rubbed their hands and were very excited. Only Li Su and Gao Shun knew the difficulty of this battle, Li Su and Gao Shun persuaded Lu Bu to think again, Lu Bu shook his head: "I have made up my mind, only such a vicious battle and a long journey can play a role in exercising, in order to test the true combat power of the trapped camp, gold will always shine, and you can't imagine it, the Huns will definitely not think that someone dares to be so bold." The important thing now, first, quickly send people to all the horse households and villages around Jiuyuan, collect all the horses for me, whether they are from the government, the border army, or the people, take my token, borrow it temporarily, and compensate according to the price when I die. Gao Shun went to the Jiuyuan County Ya, took my seal letter, and asked the county magistrate to borrow a horse, Li Su, you also go back to the Lizhuang market, and detain all the horses of the horse dealers for me, so I said that we will requisition it first and go back to compensate. Then send someone to invite all the merchants who come and go to the inn and your house to stay temporarily, be polite, just say that there is an urgent military situation, temporarily do not clear the customs, all show me, run one, reveal the news, military law disposal, in addition you go to two guides, it is best to go to the Han people who have been to the court of the right virtuous king, please come with a lot of money. ”
Everyone acted according to the order, Lu Feifei was arguing to go out together, Lu Bu was not used to her this time, he reprimanded her with a black face, and finally said that there was an important task entrusted to her, and let her take her two hundred female soldiers from the female barracks to assist Li Su and Song Xian, who stayed behind, and take care of their hometown. Lü Bu's trapped-up camp also left 200 people to be handed over to Li Su and Song Xian, and the responsibility of staying behind was equally important.
Cheng Lian and Wei Xu collected the horses from the military households, horse farms and even villages around Jiuyuan, there were seven or eight hundred horses, Gao Shun borrowed four hundred horses from the Jiuyuan County Order, Li Su brought back about six or seven hundred horses from the Li Zhuang market, most of them were taken from the horse dealers, and the rest were from the Li family, plus more than three hundred horses from the camp themselves, there were also more than two thousand, and the old, weak, sick and disabled horses were sifted out, as well as mules, In the end, there were more than 1,700 horses left to go to war, which was enough. In this operation, Lu Bu decided to lead the 800 trap camp to the expedition, with two horses per person, which could ensure the fastest travel speed and save horsepower. Lu Bu asked Guan Laotie to stop all the work in hand, everyone participated in the work of nailing the horseshoe, and the soldiers in the camp also came to help, and he must ensure that all the horses were nailed with horseshoes before setting out for the battle. The javelin is easy to build, it has been made a long time ago, and there is a leather case for the javelin. However, 800 sets of stirrups were really unable to catch up, and in the end, only 500 sets of holstered copper stirrups were made, and the remaining ones were insufficient, so 300 sets of stirrups with cloth belts were made first, and it was an emergency. In the end, everything was ready, Li Su also found two guides, both of whom were Han Chinese, and they were brothers, Hu Da Hu Er, they had been doing business outside the mouth since their fathers, and the brothers had been running the business route from the Han Dynasty to the Northern Xiongnu for nearly 20 years, and several routes were very familiar, this time I heard that Lu Bu was going to attack the Northern Xiongnu and needed a guide, so the two of them didn't say a word, and cleaned up all the goods in their hands on the spot, and they didn't care about losing money, so they took the initiative to sign up to lead the way. Lü Bu and Hu Da and Hu Er carefully discussed the route of the march, Lü Bu put forward a bold idea, starting from Jiuyuan, all the way to the west, from the west of Shuofang County out of the Great Wall, and then along the edge of the desert to continue westward, until Ju Yanze, here after the people rest the horse feeding, and then go straight to the north to chase the evil mountain, along the Xiongnu River north, straight to the right Xian King's court Zhao Xincheng, now the Huns' enemies are Xianbei and the Han, so the defense to the east is much greater than the defense to the south, especially south of Juyanze, All of them are grazing areas of the Southern Xiongnu tribes. Hu Da and Hu Er exchanged opinions with each other, carefully calculated the itinerary, and the water supply on the road, and finally felt that it was feasible, Ju Yanze and they also walked, from the huge rock to Zhao Xincheng, only a few hundred miles, if you ride straight, you can arrive in two days, it is indeed sudden. The itinerary has been decided, so without further ado, let's go now.
As the assembly bell rang, from all over the camp in Lu Village, the soldiers of the trapped camp who had gathered gathered led two horses each gathered in the open space outside the village. Eight hundred soldiers and 1,600 horses stood together, and it was also a very spectacular phalanx. Lu Bu ordered people to erect two big flags, which were the "trapped camp" and "Sima Lu of the Han Army". Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and led the brothers to slowly walk in front of the army, and Gao Shun led the shouting: "The will to fall into battle!" The eight hundred men shouted, "There is no life or death!" "Trapped!" "I'm invincible!" Morale is high and the air is soaring. Lu Bu was very satisfied, Gao Shun did have a set of training. Lu Bu waved goodbye to the second uncle and other villagers who came to see him off, and told Li Su, Song Xian, Lu Feifei and others who stayed in the old camp, making it clear that everyone who stayed behind should listen to Li Su's orders, and told Li Su to pay attention to collecting intelligence, and to focus on the war in the clouds, and brought two carrier pigeons to try.
Finally, Lu Bu said a few words in front of all the officers and men to boost the morale of the army. "All the soldiers trapped in the camp, today is a special day, we will become the first Han army to break out of the camp in decades, we are going to expedition against the Xiongnu, are you afraid?" "Don't be afraid! Unafraid! "The neat answer is shocking." Yes, I'm not afraid, the Huns are all chickens and dogs, the Huns have long been divided by us, most of the Huns have surrendered to our Han, and the rest of the Northern Huns can't even beat the Xianbei dogs, how is our opponent, today we went out, not only to relieve the siege of the clouds, but also to restore the glory of my Han, the Han family should keep in mind, "Those who offend my Han, although far away, will be punished!" "The soldiers who are trapped in the camp all raise their arms and shout!" Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! The enthusiastic atmosphere also infected the onlookers, the old folks, and the veterans of the border army, who also chanted slogans together.
The trapped camp was opened in this burst of slogans that resounded through the sky, with two big flags as the guide, and the whole army was lined up in two columns and embarked on a long journey, Lu Bu sighed in his heart that he was the first independent leader in this troubled era, and this was how he did. The journey of chasing the world starts today, so that Lu Bu sounded his own motto in his previous life: "My journey is the sea of stars!" "I'm here, and I have no regrets this time.
The west of Jiuyuan is Shuofang County, the trap camp along the Great Wall of Qin all the way to the west, the north side of the marching team is the winding and undulating ancient Great Wall, the south side is the rushing roaring river, the border troops stationed along the way are surprised to see this Han army that continues to go west, the military uniform is still so different, when they heard that they are going to fight the Huns' team, they have raised their arms and cheered, and finally the Han army has once again gone out to the Huns to expedition against the Huns, how can you not be happy? If it weren't for Lu Bu's repeated dissuasion, I'm afraid that most of the border troops would have followed to fight, and Lu Bu was also very happy to see that the Han army was still so martial and enthusiastic!
