Duan Xi's barracks was also brightly lit, and there was an endless stream of guards patrolling the camp. Duan Xi squinted at the map, thinking as he looked at it. After a while, he instructed his soldiers: "Gather all the officers to come and assemble!" ”

"No!"

"Let Captain Gao Shuntun and that Lu Bu also come."

"Yes." The soldiers were gone.

Duan Xi patted the map, frowned, and walked around the camp tent with his hands behind his back.

"Ding Jianyang, don't be confused and jump into the trap!"

After a while, all the officers above the 100 generals and military marquis in the Duan Xi battalion gathered in the tent.

Duan Xi sat on the main seat and said with a serious expression: "I won't hide it from you, tomorrow, we will definitely encounter a battle that is even more tragic than Jiuyuan." ”

Duan Xi pointed to the Yanmen on the map and said, "According to the captives of the Xianbei people, their royal court is here!" ”

Everyone looked at the hanging map, the big target of Duan Xi's fingers.

Yanmen!

An officer stood up and replied: "Yanmen has been established since King Wuling of Zhao, and the first emperor sent Meng Tian to fight against the Xiongnu, Gaozu defeated the rebellious Han Wangxin here, and then my Han Dynasty has strengthened Yanmen, and the Xianbei people lack siege utensils, if you want to capture it, it is necessary to surround it tenfold, how can you capture Yanmen with 5,000 soldiers stationed." ”

Duan Xi nodded and shook his head, some of these Yulin soldiers were stuffed in, and some were carefully selected by Duan Xi, but no matter what, none of the soldiers in the camp were straw bales.

Since the beginning of Emperor Guangwu, the central government would recruit elite soldiers from all over the country to defend the capital, which also became a national policy of the Han family.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (A.D. 189), "Three Kingdoms Volume 6 Wei Book 6": Kyushu Spring and Autumn said: Zhuo Chu entered Luoyang, and the foot was no more than 3,000. In addition, after Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, most of the troops and horses under his command were scattered, and the total should have been more than 10,000 or 20,000 in the sky.

And the princes of the Eighteen Roads, some bring a few thousand, some bring one or two thousand, and the total should be between fifteen and two hundred thousand. Then how did Dong Zhuo rely on 10,000 or 20,000 people to fight against the princes of the Eighteen Roads?

The answer is the gift package after Ding Yuan and the eunuchs died together.

The rebellions that have risen one after another in the world have forced Liu Hong to come out of greed and pleasure.

In October of the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Liu Hong optimistically held a military parade ceremony in Luoyangping, calling himself the "Supreme General", riding a horse and holding a sword to inspect the army.

And these armies were the meritorious men recruited by Liu Hong again after quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion to supplement the forbidden army in Beijing, and thus formed the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan. Eh, but there is also such a question, with the exploits of Liu Bei's three brothers in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, why was he not selected?

Hey, hey, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms......

This group of officers can be said to be the top of the Han family, but most of them have never seen war, and they can be described as a copy of "Zhao Kuo".

Duan Xi stood up and looked around, Gao Shun, who was sitting at the end, couldn't take his eyes off it, while Lu Bu on the side was a little absent-minded. said: "The Xianbei people already have the ability to siege the city, in the sixth year of Xiping, our army was defeated by Xianbei, materials, craftsmen, slaves...... They've got it. ”

Duan Xi pointed to the location of Yanmen: "It may not be that they can't take Yanmen, Yanmen is the most important pass in the state, once it is lost, the door will be wide open." It may not be impossible for Xianbei people to step on the pass. ”

Duan Cheng woke up the seriousness of this matter, which couldn't help but shock.

If they really let the military disaster flood to the pass, they have no success this time, even if they have ten heads, it is not enough to cut off.

The eyes of the others looked at Tian Yan and Xia Yu who sat down with Duan Cheng sitting down, bowing their heads, the deterioration of this matter, and the initiators who went to let them wipe their butts were them and Zang Min, the Hun Protector Zhonglang who had been demoted to a concubine.

"Then we ......"

"We must rush to Yanmen County as soon as possible, Ding Jianyang's 13,000 soldiers and horses recruited from various counties are now estimated to have arrived in Yanmen County."

"Hmm......" everyone agreed.

As soon as the general sat at the end, he stood up and arched his hand: "When the last general was the vanguard of the former army during the day today, he found an old man in a ruined village, but without asking a few words, he died of his injuries."

"Oh? What did he say? Duan Cheng was very interested when he heard the news, they came all the way, basically there were no people, it was not that there were no villages and towns along the way. Instead, it has been completely destroyed by the Xianbei people, and it is not that the dead body has been reduced to ashes.

"He said that after the Xianbei people came here for the last time three days ago, they were all called south and left."

"To the south?" Duan Cheng looked at Yanmen and Hanoi on the map with an ugly face.

If Ding Yuan was ambushed, then this battle could only passively survive the Xianbei people and leave.

Duan Cheng shook his head: "Impossible, we received the news that Yanmen is still under siege two days ago, and Tanshi Huai's troops can't do it while surrounding Yanmen and ambushing Ding Jianyang, who has tens of thousands of people." ”

"Yanmen, what happened in Yanmen......" Duan Cheng fell into deep thought.

Lu Bu stood up at this time and said, "General Duan, Lu Feng first asks to lead his brother to investigate the enemy's situation!" ”

"Oh?" Duan Cheng was very pleased with Lu Bu's standing up, but he didn't know that Lu Bu simply didn't want to be with his enemy.

"It's very dangerous to go south in advance, and the scouts sent before have not replied to them in three waves, are you sure you want to go?"

"Just Xianbei people, they can't stop my Lu Bu's footsteps!" Lu Bu said very arrogantly, but Duan Cheng was not angry, as a general, if he was not arrogant or courageous at all, then what kind of general should he be.

However, Liu Wei's comments to Duan Cheng were also very sincere, Lu Bu was too reckless, too impatient, although he was quick, but he could only be a pioneer and a fierce general.

"Is Gaotun going?" Duan Cheng asked Gao Shun, who was silent on the side.

Gao Shun stood up and arched his hand: "If General Ji Ming wants his subordinates to go, his subordinates will never refuse." ”

Duan Cheng also nodded, Gao Shun is a very perfect executor, in the war in the army, the orders given must not be discounted, and 100% implementation is in place, and Gao Shun's decisiveness, not meritorious and arrogant character is very Xiangdong Han Dynasty's founding general, one of the 28 generals of Yuntai, known as "General Dashu" Feng Yi Feng Gongsun.

At this point, Duan Cheng still appreciates Gao Shun a little more.

"Fengxian, if you need anything, just tell the old man that what the old man can do will definitely satisfy you, but be sure to bring the news back." Duan Cheng said earnestly.

Lu Bu didn't see anything at all, and directly stretched out his hand to ask: "There is really something needed, Duan Gong." My companions and I are not short of weapons, but the horses are medium-sized horses, and if we encounter the Xianbei people, we will definitely suffer, and if there are good horses, we will be able to send the news back as soon as possible. ”

"Hahaha!" Duan Cheng didn't expect that Lu Bu would open his mouth to ask for a horse now, and after laughing, he freely ordered his own soldiers: "You bring my horse and hand it over to Lu Fengxian." ”

The soldiers were in a hurry: "General, that is the imperial horse that His Majesty personally selected and gave to you from the Imperial Horse Prison." ”

Duan Cheng waved his hand: "What about the imperial horse?" What is the use of dying old and being dry bones in the stable? Now that there are strong men who dare to go to danger in person, will I not give up a horse? ”

The soldiers are embarrassed to answer the order.

Duan Cheng said again: "Pick out a good horse from the camp and hand it over to Fengxian together." Feng Xian, it is more important to find out the enemy's situation, and we must be careful not to be greedy for fighting, because the merit is inexhaustible. ”

"No!" Lu Bu was excited, but he didn't know how much he listened to Duan Cheng's entrustment, he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Duan Cheng would actually hand over his imperial horse to himself, the horse given by the emperor, no matter how bad it was, it was a thousand-mile horse!
