The first day of March.

"The lord is not good, the Xianbei army is Koubian!"

"The army? Geometry? ”

"The whole line from Shuofang to Xuansu County is about 200,000, and the number of 100,000 is estimated at the junction with my northern region."

Xiang Ao was stunned, grabbed the guards and shouted: "Why is there no information before?" ”

"The Lord is angry!" Seeing this, Xi Zhong hurriedly comforted: "At this time, arming is the top priority. ”

Xiang Aoqiang took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, let go of the guards and asked, "How is it specific, come quickly." ”

The guards had never seen Xiang Ao so angry, and his hands trembled a little: "Write a letter, the Xianbei tribes attacked each other a year ago, but I don't know why. The various divisions suddenly stopped fighting, and there was nothing to show that Xianbei wanted to send troops! ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, he knew that it should not be a problem of fine work at this time, perhaps the people of Xianbei had already discovered the clues of fine work. As for why the army went to the Han border, it is unknown!

"Can the scouts detect the enemy's movements?"

"My lord, after General Jiang learned the news, he immediately sent scouts to investigate the enemy's military situation!"

"Take the map!" The guards were ordered to take out the map from behind the tent and spread it on the table.

"In Zhicai's opinion, what is this matter for?"

"Loyalty is ashamed, there is too little information, and loyalty cannot be obtained!" Xi Zhong was also a little anxious, the 100,000 Xianbei army, even with the elite troops of the Northern Regions Protectorate, it would be difficult to withstand a sudden attack.

"Quickly send an order to Gao Shun and defend the surrendered city. As for Mrs. Fan City, she ordered Jiang Zhuo to keep it, and if not, it is important to abandon the city and save her life! ”

"No!"

"Send Wang Wu to Linrong to assist Zhang Long in defending the first line of the fortress of Rongxian County."

"No!"

The guards changed one after another, constantly conveying Xiang Ao's military orders, and spreading to all parts of the Northern Regions. The time was too urgent, and Xiang Ao didn't have time to wait for the military situation to be found before making arrangements, so he had to defend the vital place first.

"Kong Ming, hurry up and pass it on to Luoyang quickly to see if you can ask for reinforcements!"

"No!"

"Husband!" Seeing that the soldiers kept going in and out of the general's mansion, Cai Yan was worried after seeing it, so he took Xiang Ping to Xiang Ao's study.

"I've seen the master's mother, I've seen the son!" Xi Zhong and Hu Zhao made a salute!

"Ping'er meets the teacher!" "The concubine has seen two chiefs!"

"What's the matter, husband, how is he in a hurry?"

Xiang Ao glanced at Cai Yan, but decided to tell Cai Yan: "Xianbei Koubian, raise 100,000 troops!" ”

Cai Yan had been listening to Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong handling government affairs in the days when Xiang Ao left, and he also had some understanding of the military. Hearing this, 100,000 covered his mouth and exclaimed!

"Madame, don't worry!" Xiang Ao comforted: "After several years of operation, the Northern Frontier has built a lot of cities, and Xianbei is not good at attacking cities, so it is expected that it will not be able to break through into the Northern Regions!" ”

Cai Yan nodded reassuringly when he heard this, and prepared to leave with Xiang Ping, so as not to disturb Xiang Ao's defense. However, everyone didn't notice that Xiang Ping frowned deeply at this time, pondering.

"Ping'er, don't disturb your father!" Seeing that Xiang Ping didn't move, Cai Yan squatted down and prepared to pick up Xiang Ping and leave.

Xiang Ping woke up, raised his hand to stop Cai Yan, and said to Xiang Ao: "Father, Ping'er has something to ask his father!" ”

Although he was anxious, Xiang Ao still squatted down and picked up Xiang Ping and said, "Oh? Is there anything else that is difficult to live in my unicorn? ”

"Hmm!" Xiang Ping nodded, and said with the curiosity that a child should have: "Father, when Ping'er is playing in the city, he often tells stories to the old man in the city. Yesterday, I heard a story that I didn't understand. ”

"The old grandfather said that before Ping'er was born, there was a thief wearing a yellow scarf and wanted to oppose the big man. Yesterday, I heard someone mention that many people gathered in the Baibo Valley of the West River, and it seems that they are also wearing yellow scarves. Father, what do you mean by these people wearing yellow scarves? ”

Xiang Ping stared at Xiang Ao with great curiosity, but Xiang Ao was shocked when he heard this. Is there a remnant of the Yellow Turban in the White Wave Valley?

Xi Zhong also frowned when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that Ping'er had never lied, everyone would just take it as a joke.

Although Xiang Ping's words were not credible, but being cautious, Xiang Ao put Xiang Ping back into Cai Yan's arms and said, "Wait until my father finishes dealing with political affairs today, and then I will answer to Ping'er!" ”

"Yan'er, take Ping'er down and rest first!"

"Yes, husband!"

Xiang Ping hid in Cai Yan's arms, his head down, but his eyes were extremely solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. But no one saw it.

"Lord, Kong Ming is deeply annoyed, and it seems that he always feels that all kinds of things in the Han since the Yellow Turban have been manipulated. If the story heard by the prince is like this, I am afraid that this year's old man will be sad! ”

"Tadashi feels the same way!" Xi Zhong agreed solemnly.

"Don't worry, the soldiers will stand in the way!" Xiang Ao tried his best to be calmer and said. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, do you really want to act as a thief? It seems that in the future, the hatred of the country and the family will be counted together!

Xiang Ao didn't think much about it anymore, and calmed down to stare at the map. Seeing this, Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong didn't say much for the time being, and also stared at Yutu, and various strategies flashed in their minds.

"Even if what Ping'er said is true, we are just too worried." Xiang Ao said confidently after communication: "Since you want to rebel, the so-called Baibo anti-thief must be targeted by Luoyang, since someone is manipulating, it is just to use Xianbei to contain my northern region." ”

"But so!" Hu Zhao said clearly: "At this time, Sili is controlled by the Xiliang rebels in the west, but the east is the land of Hebei and Qing that has just passed through the rebellion, as long as the soldiers and horses in the northern region are contained, it may be really possible to take Luoyang and succeed in the anti-Han Dynasty!" ”

"If there is really a manipulative person, this person is really resourceful!" Thinking about it carefully, I was very scared, and I realized that the drama Zhong who came over was also in a cold sweat on his back, what a big game of chess!

"Someone!"

"Lord!"

"Write to General Lu Bu of Yanmen, informing Bai Bo of the news that there may be anti-thieves, so that he can be on guard."

"No!"

Xiang Ao arranged his troops according to this assumption, but he had to wait for the imperial court to reply and allow conscription. Xiang Ao set up a limited number of 15,000 soldiers and horses to the key positions. Ordered Gao Shun to lead 3,000 infantry to defend the surrendered city in the surrendered city, lead Zhang He as his deputy general, and lead 2,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to the Gaoque fortress to echo the defense.

Jiang Yan was ordered to lead the local Daijun soldiers and 3,000 archers to move troops to the city under the Danhan Mountain, which was lower than Xianbei. Except for Xiang Ao's 2,000 personal guards, which have not been arranged for the time being, the rest of the troops are stationed in Shuofang Dacheng County and Yunzhong Wuquan County. The soldiers and horses of Tuntian did not dare to be recruited for the time being, waiting for the imperial edict.

As Xiang Ping said, three days later, the news of the Baibo uprising came from Xihe, and the rebels in the three places were too anxious. And the reaction of the imperial court after getting the news left Xiang Ao speechless. Bai Bo attacked Taiyuan, and the imperial court only ordered the state assassin to supervise the county soldiers in various places to quell the rebellion. Perhaps in the eyes of the imperial court, the resurgence of the yellow turban can of course be easily destroyed.

However, Xianbei Koubian, who received Xiang Ao and Youzhou Assassin History at the same time, was so frightened that the imperial court was unclear, and allowed the regular army in the Northern Regions to expand to 30,000, and if the war was urgent, it was allowed to temporarily recruit more than 30,000 troops, and it could be disbanded after the Xianbei was pacified. At the same time, he ordered Youzhou Gongsun Zan to lead the counties of Youzhou to resist the Xianbei invasion, and he was also allowed to recruit himself.

On the day he received the imperial edict, Xiang Ao issued an edict to the entire Northern Regions in the name of the General's Mansion to recruit troops, and the people of the Northern Regions gathered to respond. However, in three days, Xiang Ao not only replenished the 30,000 regular army, but also recruited nearly 50,000 new soldiers. Especially many Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu who have not yet obtained the rank of the people in the Northern Regions, Xianbei is a lot less, after all, they are also of the same race, and there are not many who can kill them.

Xiang Ao had a temporary disgrace when recruiting new soldiers, Xiang Ao just wanted to counterattack Xianbei with the Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu soldiers, Xiang Ao never thought that under the stimulation of the new deal, so many people were willing to die.

With enough soldiers and horses, abundant grain and grass, Xiang Ao not only had to resist the Xianbei invasion, but also took this opportunity to hit Xianbei hard, so that the Fuyu, Qiang and other clans could participate in the battle in the north.

Since there were enough soldiers and horses, Xiang Ao wrote to Gongsun Zhan, expressing his thoughts, hoping that Gongsun Zhan could cooperate a little. Gongsun Zhan already hated foreign races outside the Northern Regions, and after receiving Xiang Ao's letter, he would definitely agree. As for the merit, Gongsun Chan knew that Xiang Ao was an upright person and should not be greedy for ink. It is not even necessary to give Gongsun Chan credit.

"Lord, this battle will be won in the Northern Regions, and the military and the people can be used!" Xi Zhong looked at the recruitment situation in his hand, and his heart was extremely shocked, Xiang Ao's popular hearts in the Northern Regions were too deep.

"Hahaha, that's a must, the lord is like a god!" Jiao Meng was also excited, and patted his ass.

Hu Zhao is a lot calmer, every day he is reviewing the documents reported from various places, of course he knows how Xiang Ao won the hearts of the people, so the result is deserved.

"Lord!" In such a situation, Zhao Yun, who is stable on weekdays, couldn't stand it, and was the first to come out to fight: "Since Yuntou was the lord, he has won the trust of the lord. However, Yun did not make any contributions, and Yun felt guilty. I hope that the lord will give the cloud the position of the vanguard of this battle! ”

"Zilong is in a hurry!" Jiao Meng was reluctant, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord, Ah Meng, please fight!" ”

"Nonsense!" Before Xiang Ao could get angry, Hu Zhao jumped up and said, "General Jiao is the lord's personal guard, how can he leave without permission." Can General Jiao forget about the danger before the lord? ”

Jiao Meng is bold on weekdays, but in the entire General's Mansion, he is still afraid of three of them. One is the main husband Xiang Ao, the other is the main mother Cai Yan, and then Hu Zhao.

Maybe it was born, anyway, Jiao Meng didn't dare to speak out loud in front of Hu Zhao. In some cases, Jiao Meng is even more willing to face Xiang Ao.

Xiang Ao also asked Hu Zhao, but Hu Zhao's answer made Xiang Ao embarrassed. Hu Zhao once had a younger brother, who was also extremely intelligent, but he was extremely stubborn and bold by nature, and it was also because of his boldness that he accidentally fell into the abyss and died when he was a teenager. Ever since he saw Jiao Meng, Hu Zhao had a feeling of seeing his deceased brother, and he couldn't help but love him.

Jiao Meng saw that Hu Zhao was angry, dodged his gaze, and only hid behind Xiang Ao, and muttered without listening to his mouth: "If you don't go, why are you so angry!" ”

Xiang Ao chuckled when he heard this!
