Chapter 36 Supporting Chen Cang
The mountains and fields of Shuofang are very cold, the big tent of the Chinese army is tightly sealed, but the chill is still permeating the tent, even so, the generals are still standing like pine, and their eyes are on Lu Bu, who is sitting on the case.
Lu Bu spread out Liu Hong's edict and said to himself: "Xiliang Han then raised troops against the Han and led 100,000 people to attack Chen Cang, and the Son of Heaven asked me to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. β
"Chen Cang is hundreds of miles away from Shuofang, and it can only be saved by cavalry, but our cavalry is only 5,000, and the enemy army has 100,000 people, this battle is ......" Cao Xuan did not continue, hitting 100,000 with 5,000, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Song Xian nodded in agreement: "The battle of Shuofang has just ended, our soldiers are tired, and it is not suitable to fight far away, although the Xiongnu retreated north, but once they know that Shuofang is empty, no one can guarantee that they will not come back." β
Song Xian's words resonated with the generals, after all, after several months of fighting, the soldiers were already exhausted, and if they traveled far to help Chen Cang, I am afraid that the gains outweighed the losses.
Lu Bu habitually looked at Gao Shun and asked, "Does Shuda have any suggestions?" β
Gao Shun took a step forward and hugged his fists and said: "We not only have soldiers, but also 20,000 cavalry, each of which is an elite iron cavalry, brave and good at fighting. β
"Where are the 20,000 cavalry?" Cao Xuan looked at Gao Shun suspiciously, wondering if he had heard it wrong, let alone 20,000 now, even if it was 5,000, he couldn't take it out.
In the battle of Shuofang, the Han army that participated in the battle said that it was 20,000, but in fact there were only 16,000, which also included the people and baggage teams who had no combat effectiveness, and He had 20,000 cavalry.
"Don't forget, a few days ago, all the tribes outside the Seychelles came to surrender, and one of the conditions for surrender put forward by the lord was to recruit men from all ethnic groups to participate in the war at any time." Zhang Liao explained with a smile.
After Zhang Liao's explanation, the generals suddenly realized that if they look at this situation, it is not impossible to rush to the aid of Chen Cang.
"I'm afraid that all ethnic groups may not be willing." Zhang Liao groaned for a while, and threw out a new question.
Cao Xing snorted coldly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and whoever doesn't want it will be killed." β
Lu Bu tapped lightly on the table, and said categorically: "Chen Cang must be saved, and the Huns must also be guarded." β
He paused, and suddenly ordered aloud: "Where are Gao Shun, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu?" β
The four of them were full of spirits and stepped out one after another: "The last will be." β
"Let the four of you, headed by Gao Shun, lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to garrison Heshuo, prevent the southern invasion of the Xiongnu on the one hand, and eliminate the thieves in the territory on the other, and the rest of the generals will follow me to help Chen Cang."
To go to Chencang to quell the rebellion, LΓΌ Bu had to leave a person between Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to leave Gao Shun behind.
A trapped-in camp has not yet been formed, and it needs to be tempered more arduously; Once the two counties are peaceful, Lu Bu will follow Cao Cao in his previous life and implement the tuntian system.
He knows that if he drags on for a moment, he will be more passive, and the fighting career of the two worlds has taught him a truth - the soldier is fast and fast.
After the mobilization of the troops was on a large scale, he immediately asked Zhang Liao to go to various ethnic groups to recruit men, and meet at Qingyanze three days later, and he himself led 5,000 cavalry to approach Chencang.
At three o'clock, the soldiers of the three armies were assembled, Lu Bu didn't want to delay any longer, he stepped out of the platform, and shouted: "Where is Cao Xing?" β
Cao Xing, who was dressed in black armor, bowed forward: "The last will be." β
"Order the officers and men of the three armies, soldiers not to take off their armor, horses not to take off their saddles, and strive to reach Qingyanze within two days, and rush to Chencang within ten days."
Cao Xing received the general's order, strode to the center of the school with his sword in his hand, and shouted with full anger: "The lord has an order, the soldiers of the three armies will not take off their armor and horses, and they will arrive at Qingyanze within two days, and reach Chencang within ten days, and there must be no mistake." β
"Obey the general's orders!" The officers and men of the three armed forces all made a loud promise.
Half an hour later, the five thousand cavalry were fully equipped, and under the gaze of Gao Shun and others, they swept across Shentuze Street at lightning speed and rushed into the south gate.
This iron cavalry is all a pure black armor, the finely connected scales and armor pieces are tightly closed, the black hood covers the whole face, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, and a white feather is obliquely erected on the helmet, and the feathers fly when running, neatly like the undulation of the tide.
Each of them had steel swords hanging from their waists, strong bows on their backs, and spears in their hands, and a long black gold iron spear was attached to the saddle sheath, and one pole stretched straight forward, like fangs protruding from the wolf's mouth.
It was still early, the cold air was wandering in the streets, the whining wind was like a terrible ghost screaming, and the people of Shen Tuze heard that Lu Bu was about to march south, and they all stood in front of their own doors, silently watching the iron horse go out.
Ahead, the tall city wall towered under the navy blue sky, the cold mist swirled in the sky, and the straight lines of the city wall became sparse, as if the ink marks were fainted by the water.
On the south gate city wall, Lou Gui held a drumstick and stared at Wang Jun on the city wall.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on South Street, and Lou Gui hurriedly shouted: "Ziwen, they are here." β
Wang Jun's closed eyes suddenly opened, the slender ten fingers slid on the strings, the sound of the piano was as rapid as the wind, dense as a forest, and the treble layers were like a wave after wave, and the strong wind was fierce.
Lou Gui closed his eyes slightly, and in a trance, he felt a cool breeze blowing through his bones, and he raised his drumstick and slammed it.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, like a spring thunder exploding in the flat ground, and those sleepy-eyed guards were suddenly startled, and they all turned their eyes to Lou Gui.
Suddenly, a heart-pounding beat of agitated war drums came from the city wall, which made the soldiers guarding the pass look sideways.
Lou Gui played an exhilarating drumbeat, and the soldiers on both sides froze for a moment, and then followed suit, and for a while, the exciting sound of war drums echoed in the sky above Shen Tuze.
Accompanied by the agitated war drums, Wang Jun's piano sound became magnificent, like a wind sweeping away the leaves, and suddenly the mountains and seas of the world were agitated, the sun and the moon were full of energy, the lion roared and the ape cried the dragon and the tiger roared, and the dead branches and dead leaves flew and the sand and stones were scattered.
Wang Jun's heavenly music, the tone is superb, echoing in the sky, the shocking and intellectually stunning power and powerful appeal, so that the song is finished, the people and soldiers under the city wall have not made a sound for a long time.
Zhong Xuan galloped on his horse and smiled at Lu Bu: "General, can Wang Ziwen's "Guangling San" still be used?" β
Although Lu Bu looked ahead, he was still amazed: "It can be said that Qin Jue, Brother Yuan Chang, who are these Wang Jun and Lou Gui?" β
Zhong Miao smiled and said nothing, which made Lu Bu even more curious about the identities of Wang Jun and Lou Gui, I heard that this "Guangling San" is not an ordinary song, but a song about Nie Zheng's assassination of King Han, and there are very few people in the world who can play this song.
This Wang Jun and Lou Gui are definitely geniuses with economic growth in their womb, which makes him even more determined to recruit the two.
