Chapter 349: Heading North to Meet the Enemy

Yanmen, in the city of Yinguan.

"That's the trend!"

As soon as Jia Xu woke up in the morning, he was rushed through his house by urgent mail.

People are not as good as heaven, and when they went out to conquer the Xiongnu, Xianbei in the east attacked.

The letter did not say how many Xianbei cavalry attacked, Blackbeard estimated that it was at least 30,000.

At this time, it was a good strategy to attack the Xiongnu, and the expulsion of the Xiongnu was to extinguish future troubles.

Who would have expected Xianbei to attack at this time, this was a huge test for the Han army.

"Yesterday, the Xianbei army was a hundred miles north of the city, and the scouts changed horses halfway and galloped, returning to Xia Lake in half a day. Then another night to spread the news to the Yin Pavilion. The Xianbei cavalry tens of thousands of cavalry attacked, far from this kind of marching speed. And there will be no march at night. Jia Xu carefully calculated the location of the Xianbei army in his heart.

After a while, Jia Xu raised his head and said to the officials: "Hurry up and go to Xia Lake, and let the Sima of all departments of Xia Lake lead the Xianbei people back to the Guannei." The magistrates of the counties outside the customs were ordered to organize the people and return to the customs area. ”

"Teacher, the Hu people are all cavalry, and the people have no horses to travel, so I am afraid that it will be dangerous." Yang Hong bowed to Jia Xu and said.

"Father, what Brother Yang said is true, please think twice." Jia Mu also persuaded Jia Xu.

Three years ago, in order to get rid of the fetters in Jia Xu's heart, Liu Fan ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to take people to Liangzhou to take Jia Xu's wife, children, and old mother to Yanmen Yin Pavilion.

"Of course I know that it is so dangerous, there is no danger to defend on the plains outside the gate, and staying outside the gate is equivalent to sitting and waiting to die. There are many places where the strong yin can be guarded, and there is also the Yanmen Pass that can intercept the Hu cavalry. I will order the Modao army to go north to intercept the Hu cavalry, and will not give the Hu people a chance to infringe on the Han people. Jia Xu said sternly.

"Jia Mu, you take the general's scepter to Dingxiangwu to send an order to General Huang Zhong, if the Hu cavalry going south attacks Dingxiang, let him resist with all his might. If he did not attack Dingxiang, let him lead his troops to support Yanmen. Jia Xu ordered Jia Mu again.

"No!" Jia Xu received the order.

"Yang Hong, if you go to the border of Shanggu County, Guangning County will inform Zhang Liao and ask him to lead an army of five thousand to come back." Jia Xu then ordered Yang Hong.

"General Zhang Liao was not ordered to go to Liaoxi to quell the rebellion, how could he be in Shangjun?" Yang Hong said suspiciously.

"Just take the command, don't doubt." Jia Xu scolded Yang Hong.

"No!" Yang Hong took the order.

Subsequently, Jia Xu sent an assistant to inform him of the news given to Xiang Taishou Zhang Jun, Yunzhong Taishou Cui Jun, Wuyuan Taishou Fu Xie, and Shuo Fang Taishou Tian Feng. as well as Guan Yu who guarded Jilusai and Gaoque, and Zhao Yun who guarded Wuyuan.

Xu Chu led 3,000 Modao troops and Gao Shun led 1,000 traps to the north, shooting with 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 Xianbei cavalry from Xiahu, attacking the Xianbei cavalry and covering the retreat of the people outside the pass.

After everything was arranged, Jia Xu wrote a letter to inform Liu Fan, who was at war with the Xiongnu.

After three years of development, Liu Fan, Jia Xu, and Xun You were no longer limited to expelling the Southern Xiongnu from the Yellow River Valley, but planned to destroy and annex the Southern Xiongnu and complete a major feat in history.

But now that the situation has reached a very critical point, Jia Xu hopes that Liu Fan can temporarily drag the Southern Xiongnu and divide his troops to come back to support.

After putting down the pen, Jia Xu put the letter into the bamboo tube, and said to the army next to him: "Through the Hejian Translation Hall, six hundred miles will be sent to the general urgently."

This bamboo tube is engraved with four big characters on the outside, "Fly Immediately", and there are a few small characters next to it, "Six hundred miles expedited".

Due to the unevenness of some places in Yanmen and Dingxiang, and the Yellow River has to be crossed, the 600-mile expedited is already the fastest speed that the army can travel at present.

This is the "post post" that Liu Fan has built in Hetao and Yanmen in recent years.

When every soldier in the translation hall sees the words "fly immediately," he must treat them with caution, because it is a crime to kill his head if he delays the military situation.

There are two or three translation halls in each county, and there is even one every fifty miles on the main official roads.

Although the horses in the translation hall are not thousands of horses, they are all good horses.

Whipped his horsewhip, he galloped fifty miles at peak speed in one breath, and continued to run with the next interpreter.

If it is placed in a plain area, there are these translation halls connected by the straight road, and you can complete the 800-mile expeditious service. Every good horse runs desperately, and it can be a thousand miles a day.

"Eastern Xianbei dared to press the border with a large army this time, with at least 50,000 horsemen. They did not enter Yuyang, Youbeiping, Shanggu, and Daijun, and came to Yanmen because they planned to target the general. They fell in love with the richness of Yanmen and the river. They saw the threat to them from the great generals. They are for the hatred that has come from the friction of the past few years, in order to eliminate the threat. As I expected, the eastern Xianbei will definitely attack with the western Xianbei. Even the remnants of Xianbei in the central part will take the opportunity to go south. ”

After Jian Jun left with the letter, Jia Xu analyzed deeply.

This battle, don't look at him. And look at the soldiers.

Yanmen and Hetao, each county has some county soldiers. Let these county soldiers go to attack the Xianbei cavalry, such as sending them to death.

But it's still okay to defend the pass city.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kuaima went to Xiahu Lake and reported the matter to the various ministries.

When Zhang Liao left, he ordered Sima Tianfeng of the first department to order all departments.

Tian Feng served as Liu Fan's personal guard for five years, and even won Liu Fan's cronies, Liu Fan taught him swordsmanship and the art of war, and was able to convince the public.

Tian Feng had already prepared to defend against the Xianbei army that was close at hand. After receiving Jia Xu's order, he immediately summoned the other four Simas, including the Xianbei Zhonglang General.

The Xianbei Zhonglang promoted by Liu Fan will be Putou's brother and Lian's cousin's nephew. Nafu Rohan.

Historically, shortly after the death of Kazuren, Fu Luohan and his younger brother Budugen were both northern Xianbei giants with tens of thousands of cavalry.

At this time, Bu Dugen was still young and his ability was limited, and he could not enter Liu Fan's eyes among tens of thousands of Xianbei.

"Fu Luohan, and Lian Shan died at the hands of Eastern Xianbei, Eastern Xianbei has already betrayed Shan Yuting, and now he has come to invade the realm and ruin our lives, which is really full of evil deeds. The hussar general has captured you and others for more than three years, but has he ever starved you to death? Freezing to death? Tired to death? Tian Feng asked Fu Luohan.

"The damage of the war, my Xianbei skills are not as good as others. We are prisoners, the general treats us leniently, we are grateful, and the general's kindness is beyond our reach. I want to be driven, and I dare not have two hearts. Fu Luo Han clenched his fists and said to Tian Feng.

"Good! The Xianbei army arrived, and this place could no longer be defended. In order to prevent the Ruxianbei people and the Han people from being attacked, the military division issued an order to move all to the Guannai. Part B escorted Xianbei to retreat. The rest of the men and horses harassed the Xianbei army together and slowed down the southward movement of the Xianbei army. Tian Feng said to the Simas: "It won't be long before our reinforcements will arrive from all directions. Victory belongs to my great man. ”

"The Great Han is mighty! The Great Han is mighty! ”

The crowd shouted in unison.

Fu Luo Han lowered his head, thoughtfully, in this way, his own people were still in the hands of the Han people, and Tian Feng's arrangement made them dare not act rashly.

Rohan shook his head, pushing the unrealistic idea out of his mind.

Liu Fan is a celestial, with him, the eastern Xianbei will return.

Liu Fan has already established prestige in Xianbei. That kind of prestige even surpasses that of Shan Yu.
