Chapter 354: Sending Troops to the Western Regions

Boom, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain.

"Click!" The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and those Yuan Warlock soldiers, who had not had time to escape, were trembling with fright, looking in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from.

"Captain Chen, it's Captain Chen!"

A group of sharp-eyed people immediately exclaimed in surprise when they saw the face of the leader.

"Where is Mr. Yan? Quick, look around! ”

"Uncle and nephew, uncle and nephew, the old man is here!" An old man suddenly walked out of the chaotic army on the side.

"Sir, the end will be one step later, and I hope that Mr. will forgive your sins!" As he spoke, Captain Chen saluted.

"This is not a place to talk, gather the remnants immediately!"

"No!"

"Brother Chen, General Ji is still alive!"

In Yuan Shao's camp, Yan Liang and Wen Chou lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Yuan Shao. Although he had been prepared for a long time, he was still scolded by Yuan Shao.

If it was someone else, they would have taken action with the hot temper of the two of them, but in front of Yuan Shao, the two of them have always remained silent.

"Alas! Wait for you to rest, and you will definitely recapture the jade seal of the country in the coming day! Perhaps tired of scolding, Yuan Shao waved his hand and sighed.

"Thank you, lord!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately bowed and then slowly pushed out of the tent.

Seeing that his love was about to go away, Yuan Shao sighed again and said to the strategists: "Let's go down too!" ”

"Lord, Yuan Shu's corpse?" It was Xu Yu who spoke.

"There is Lao Ziyuan!" Yuan Shao waved his hand again.

When he was about to leave the big tent, Xu You looked at the judge and the others proudly, snorted coldly, and left quickly.

"Hmph, the villain has a will!" The judge scolded angrily.

He and Xu Yu have a long-standing grudge, and whenever Yuan Shao asks for advice, the two of them ridicule each other, and Yuan Shao is indecisive, so a lot of opportunities are consumed by the two of them.

A few days later, Huo Yu, who was furious, received a message from Wang Yue, and his anger finally subsided.

"The lord is the news of Yuan Shu?" Guo Jia, who was nervous, immediately asked.

"The plan has been completed, there has been no activity for a long time, it's time to move!" Huo Yu said loudly.

Everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief and was replaced by an inexplicable excitement. Huo Yu's so-called "move" must be to send troops, of course, the target of the troops is the small country in the Western Regions that provoked Huo Yu's anger.

Since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty three years, Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to visit the Dayue clan to jointly fight against the Xiongnu, although the envoy was unsuccessful, but it communicated the Central Plains and the Western Regions of the countries of the contact and exchanges.

Since the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, all the countries have paid tribute, and now the Han Dynasty established by the Liu clan has collapsed, and those small countries with different intentions have begun to attack the Han frontier under the accumulation of the remnants of the Xiongnu.

The attack was just a matter of harassment, slaughtering the caravan sent by Huo Yu to the Western Regions and robbing all the property. You must know that when this caravan passed through Wuwei County, the Ma family's father and son did not dare to make difficulties.

Fortunately, the caravan was large enough, and the people who survived by luck passed the news back to Youzhou, which caused Huo Yu to be furious, and in the whole process, except for the smile on Jia Xu's face, even Guo Jia and Xun You had never seen such a scene.

"Mr. Wenhe, is he willing to join the army on this expedition?" Huo Yu, who was still angry just now, looked at Jia Xu with a smile at the moment.

"Hey, I am willing to go on the expedition with the lord!" Jia Xu immediately got up and saluted back.

"Hahaha, Mr. is confident, this expedition will be a victory!"

The order was issued, and the war machine of the Youzhou Army was running rapidly, and for a while, the princes of the world heard the news, especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who shrank the deployment of troops with lightning speed, for fear that they would be the target of Huo Yu's attack.

Just when the major princes were nervous, a piece of literature spread all over the world, claiming that the countries of the Western Regions had committed the Han Dynasty, and the hussar general would personally lead the army to crusade against it, so as to demonstrate the power of the Han army.

The words are glossy, in fact, the Han court has long ceased to exist, how can you talk about committing the Han Dynasty? The smarter people quickly guessed the reason, it must be a small country in the Western Regions that did not have a long eye, plundered the caravan in Youzhou.

But then again, the northern land is all in the hands of Huo Yu, only the Ma family still controls Wuwei County, it seems that the target of Youzhou must be the Ma family, as for the countries of the Western Regions, it should just be an excuse for Huo Yu to send troops.

After getting the exact news, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao finally settled down, as long as Huo Yu did not send troops to attack him, there would still be a chance. However, for the time being, Xiahoudun's self-inflicted cleverness has brought Cao Cao great trouble.

Yuan Shao had already begun to gather troops, and once it was determined that Huo Yu's army was far away, he would defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop and regain the jade seal that belonged to the Yuan family.

"Hahaha, this Yuan Benchu! It's rare, it's rare for the first brother to be so attentive! Replying to the original brother, although I am far away, the person who is a great man will be punished! After reading Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, Huo Yu burst into laughter.

This also happened to be in response to his own plan, and he always had to do favors, but Huo Yu did do a double job. On the one hand, he made a large grain deal with Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, he secretly sent someone to give Cao Cao a large amount of grain and grass. In a word, "Lao Tzu sent troops to fight foreigners, so let's fight in the nest!" ”。

Although Cao and Yuan both knew Huo Yu's small movements, they had to carry it around. Whoever made the two families so unhappy, otherwise, with the strength of the two of them, they would definitely be able to compete with Huo Yu.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao sharpened their knives Huo Huo, Jiangdong Sun Ce and Jingzhou Liu Biao had already started fighting, thanks to Huo Yu's intelligence, Sun Ce was not captured like Sun Jian. At this moment, Sun Ce, before Liu Biao could react, took Jiangxia in one go.

And after Lu Bu took away Shouchun, his strength increased. However, Lu Bu, who has always been arrogant, silently digested the hard-won territory this time.

"Wen Hou, the news is confirmed, Huo Hucai has sent troops to the Western Regions!" Zhang Liao, who hurried back, immediately reported to Lu Buyu.

Speaking of which, being able to win Shouchun was also thanks to Huo Yu's secret help, although Wang Yue didn't make it clear, but Lu Bu already knew it in his heart. Over the years, Huo Yu has been quite good to himself, so Lu Bu is a little grateful.

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight sooner or later, and they will not be distracted. It's just that Sun Ce is powerful, no, it can only be Liu Biao's incompetence! Hearing Zhang Liao's report, Lu Bu said to himself with a smile on his face.

"The meaning of warmth... But do you want to take Jingzhou? ”

Regarding Wei Xu's reaction, Lu Bu's eyes widened and his mouth widened. For so long, only Zhang Liao knew his thoughts best.

"Hahaha..."After a short period of shock, Lu Bu laughed out loud, this kind of thing can only be understood and not spoken.

Time flies, and in the spring of 198 AD, after a winter of preparations, the huge war machine of the Youzhou Army was finally dispatched again. After a huge oath meeting, 80,000 Youzhou iron horsemen shouted the slogan "Those who commit the great Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away", and marched towards the far western regions!
