Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 24 The Han Army Escaped, and the Sandalwood Huai Mou

At this time, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu were not easy.

A few days ago, the two of them had received a report from the scouts, and several large Xianbei tribes that could be detected were frequently mobilizing military horses. At this time, Xianbei was temporarily unified under the leadership of Tan Shihuai, and there was no internal matter, so such frequent troop movements must have come towards Xiang Ao and Lu Bu. After learning the news, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu invariably planned to retreat to the southwest, after all, no matter how brave and good the two of them were, the team they led was only more than 3,000, and they could not resist the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xianbei.

At this time, the two of them were already in the north of Yanmen County, only more than 1,000 miles away from Xianbei Shan Yuting Dan Khan Mountain. If such a distance is surrounded by the Xianbei cavalry army, even with the courage of Xiang Ao and Lu Bu, it will be difficult to escape the consequences of the death. Danhan Mountain is the base camp of Xianbei, there are a lot of military horses, and it has been endlessly invading the border of the Han Dynasty all the year round, and many villages and towns in the north of Yanmen County and Youzhou Dai County and Shanggu County have been abandoned, and it is extremely difficult to defend the Xianbei cavalry.

Xianbei frequently transferred troops, but what made Xiang Ao even more strange was that the Xianbei cavalry that could organize the army in time to attack and suppress only Murong and Suo Tou. I have to thank Lu Bu for explaining, otherwise Ao will have to waste his brains on this matter. At this time, Xianbei was divided into three parts, and Yuwen Mohuai was the king in the east; The west is mostly the head of Huai, with Tuoba neighbor as the king; In the middle, Murong Bo is the king, and Tanshi Huai sits in Shan Yuting. Although Xianbei is unified on the surface, the kings and large tribes of Xianbei are still ambitious. If it weren't for the extremely high prestige of Tanshi Huai, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult to suppress the Xianbei tribes with strange ideas.

For Xiang Ao and Lu Bu, who were scurrying around Xianbei, Tuoba Lin and Murong Bo didn't want to provoke. However, the two of them have harassed the most in recent times, and the tribes in the central and western parts of the two of them have been exterminated, not to mention that many of their Murong and Huai heads have been destroyed. In this way, the mobilization of troops, which seemed to be a great move, finally set out to encircle and suppress after half a month. The military information obtained by the Xianbei departments is not exhaustive, but it is known that the Han army is about 35,000 people, well-equipped, and the leaders are Shuo Fang Taishou Xiang Ao and Wuyuan Yibing Cao. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Tan Shihuai ordered Tuoba Lin and Murong Bo to send about 20,000 cavalry.

This kind of mobilization shows Tanshi Huai's determination to eradicate Xiang Ao and the others. Originally, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu did plan to evacuate, but unexpectedly, Xiang Ao had a whim, and ordered a group of soldiers to change into Xianbei clothes, but they wrapped gray around their left arms and unexpectedly separated the enemy from me, so they swaggered into the hinterland of Xianbei. Lu Bu admired this, since he joined the army, Lu Bu will send troops to plunder Xianbei every year in spring and summer, rescue the people and take revenge on Xianbei's invasion of the Han border. Every year, when the wind in Xianbei is loud, Lu Bu will lead the army to evacuate the grassland to avoid being surrounded.

Xiang Ao's approach made Lu Bu extremely amazed, and he was originally a little worried that he would be discovered by Xianbei by accident, but after passing by the Xianbei regular army several times, Lu Bu shouted more than Xiang Ao. If it weren't for Xiang Ao to stop him, Lu Bu would even dare to sneak into the Xianbei royal court alone and attack and kill Tanshi Huai. After being in the hinterland of Xianbei, Xiang Ao and the others only had more bloody hands, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu decided to kill a tribe and slaughter all the Xianbei in the tribe at the same time. Even if Xiang Ao, an old and weak woman and child, was reluctant to start, Lu Bu would raise the butcher's knife and show no mercy.

The cruelty of the border, Lu Bu can see more than Xiang Ao, and the mutual success between the races is done to the extreme. Especially the Han and Xianbei have a lot of grievances this year, but the hatred between the people is extremely difficult to resolve. Although Xiang Ao couldn't bear it, he didn't stop it, and Xiang Ao also understood the stakes. Since then, the nickname of the two demons of the state has been spread among Xianbei, and they will be slaughtered when they see the tribe.

In the royal court, Tan Shihuai and Shan Yu were even more annoyed and angry, and ordered all the tribes in Xianbei that bordered the Han border to send troops to encircle and suppress. However, Xiang Ao led the troops to hide near the valley of the riverbed of which river, and hid here in the open air. Lu Bu looked serious, but his eyes looked at Xiang Ao with great excitement and said, "Brother Xiang, the two of us have provoked the anger of the public. ”

"Hehe, Brother Feng is afraid of public anger?" Xiang Ao looked at Lu Bu with disdain, excited and excited, why is that?

"Haha... Haha..."Lu Bu rubbed his head slightly embarrassed: "Isn't this worried that you will be trapped on the grassland and not be able to go back for the New Year?" ”

"Brother Feng Xian can rest assured that the river here has dried up for several years, and it is expected that Xianbei herdsmen will not come here to graze." Xiang Ao looked determined: "Let's rest for a while, and then disguise ourselves after tonight, and then we can try to retreat south." ”

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he still had the stamina to study for more than ten days after sleeping in the open in such a dining style. It's not that Lu Bu can't resist, but he is just a little worried that his corporal and soldiers are unstable. Xiang Ao didn't think much about it, after all, most of the cavalry brought out had traveled with Xiang Ao in the Mobei grassland for a long time in the past, and the soldiers still believed in Xiang Ao very much.

That night, Xiang Ao ordered most of the soldiers to disguise themselves as Xianbei herdsmen, and coerced the women and children of the two Xianbei tribes who were finally plundered to cooperate, disguising thousands of people as small Xianbei tribes to camp and pretending to move to the south. After nearly a year of indoctrination and influence, many Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people among the soldiers led by Xiang Ao were also extremely loyal to Xiang Ao, so they ordered hundreds of people to disguise themselves as Xianbei tribes and lead everyone to move slowly south.

And the sudden disappearance of the Han army made Tanshi Huai even more angry. It also made the other tribes of Xianbei relax and finally not have to be bullied by the two demons of the state. If it is a real battlefield cavalry match, Xianbei will definitely be true. However, Xiang Ao Lubu and the others were running around and couldn't find their whereabouts, which made the leaders of the Xianbei tribes and Shan Yuxin tremble.

Xianbei is single in the court to play the sweat mountain.

"Father, do you really want to let go of Xiang Ao and Lu Bu's house?"

The sandalwood locust sat down, and on his knees sat a young man who looked very similar to the sandalwood locust. Although this person's face is similar to Sandalwood Huai, but his face is yellow, slightly thin, and there is no half-heroic image of Sandalwood Huai, this person is the eldest son and Lian of Tanshi Huai's anger. At this time, Helian was extremely angry, and Xiang Aolubu's behavior in the past few days had greatly hit the prestige of his father Tanshi Huai, although Helian could not be in the climate, but it was only how to get the things he was enjoying now.

"What if you don't let it go?" Tanshi Huai said in a deep voice: "For my father, I think it's better for the two of them to continue to make trouble on the grassland like this." ”

"Why did you say that, father?" He Lian was surprised, but he was really puzzled.

Tanshi Huai glared at Helian Hu, slightly angry. He Lian was even more frightened and quickly retracted his head.

"If my son becomes a weapon, I need to be so anxious." Tanshi Huai retracted his gaze and said with a lament: "I also know if I am sick for my father's body, and I don't know if I can survive the cold winter for a few years." If my father is really unfortunate enough to die, what should my son do? What should I do with Xianbei? Worried about my father, if there is misfortune, Xianbei will fall into division and infighting again, if so, when will I Xianbei enter the Central Plains and enjoy the fertile land? If that Shuo Fang Taishou has been like this, I Xianbei will have a unified enemy, and since my son is incompetent, at least I can ensure that my Xianbei will not be divided. ”

"Woo woo woo..." As soon as Tanshi Huai finished speaking, He Lian was already sobbing: "How can this be, my father will definitely live a long and healthy life, and I Xianbei will definitely be immortal under the leadership of my father." Father will be well, definitely. ”

"I hope so!" Tan Shihuai didn't pay any attention to Helian, looked up at the west side of the camp tent and muttered to himself: "What a Shuo Fang Taishou, I hope you can have the courage to stay." ”

Perhaps because Xianbei did not believe in the sky, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu did not stay in Xianbei as Tanshihuai expected. At this time, Xiang Ao had already led everyone to sneak back to the Shuofang border in disguise.

"Hahaha... Wu Lu Bu is back! Lu Bu laughed and hugged his fists and said: "It's not in vain to know Brother Xiang, this trip is unforgettable." It's really scary. ”

"Ao and Brother Feng's acquaintance is not in vain in this life!" Xiang Ao also returned the salute with a fist.

"This place is already the boundary in the clouds, we can return home after changing back into the clothes of the Han army, I wonder if Brother Xiang can go to Wuyuan to stay for a few days and fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"

"Brother Feng and return home first, Ao wants to enter the hinterland of Xianbei again." Xiang Ao clenched his fists and politely refused.

Lu Bu was surprised, now that they have all returned to the border of Bingzhou, and it is almost autumn, why do they still want to go deep into the hinterland of Xianbei if they do not return to Shuofang at this time? After months of getting along, although Lu Bu greatly admired Xiang Ao's intelligence and martial bravery, he didn't think that Xiang Ao could lead more than 2,000 troops into the hinterland of Xianbei to do anything.

"Brother Xiang, why is this? At this time, it is almost autumn, not to mention that entering the hinterland of Xianbei can be done, and the prevention affairs of Shuofang Land will also be dealt with a little because of the return of Brother Xiang to the county. ”

"Brother Feng Xian's concerns are true, but Ao has a reason to go, and it is inconvenient to tell him. I hope that Brother Feng will forgive me. Xiang Ao was a little apologetic. In fact, it's not that Xiang Ao doesn't want to tell, it's just that Xiang Ao doesn't know why for this trip, but his intuition tells him that he needs to go deep into the hinterland of Xianbei again.

"That's it. Bu originally wanted to go with Brother Xiang, but as soon as he returned to the state territory, he received an urgent order from Taishou, ordering Bugui County to arrange arrangements to prevent Xianbei from entering the country. Lu Bu didn't say much, after all, everyone has secrets, so it's inconvenient to ask more. But he couldn't accompany Xiang Ao to go with him, which made Lu Bu feel a little ashamed.

"Military affairs are important, and Brother Feng Xian doesn't have to be like this. After Ao finishes handling the affairs, he will come to visit, that is Brother Fengxian, don't be bothered by Ao. ”

"Haha... Cloth sweep the couch and wait, and greet each other! Lu Bu laughed and clenched his fists, and then said solemnly.

"In this way, Ao will leave first, return as soon as possible, and talk to Brother Feng Xian as soon as possible."

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Xiang Ao looked at Lu Bu, who was leading the army, and he was also extremely suspicious in his heart. Xianbei has no friends, and he has nothing to love, why does he feel like this? This re-entry into the hinterland of Xianbei was not a re-entry of troops, so Xiang Ao sent more than 1,000 cavalry to escort the Xianbei captives and herdsmen back to Shuofang. He led the remaining 800 elite cavalry alone and went to the hinterland of Xianbei to find out.
