Chapter Twenty-Seven: Out of the Stopper
Woo-woo-woo
A fierce horn suddenly rose from the ground, and the mountain wind that was suddenly awakened swirled from Mingshan and swept through the wilderness of Mobei like a sword.
On the majestic Saibei Plain, the soldiers of the Han army all sat on the ground, drank and ate meat, talked and laughed, and in a burst of laughter, the curling smoke rose straight into the sky.
In a makeshift tent, Han generals gathered around a huge map and engaged in a heated discussion.
"Whether to continue to fight, or to go back to Jilusai to garrison, you can speak freely!" Lu Bu's voice was slightly hoarse, and his expression was a little tired.
The battle of Mingshan really took a lot of thought.
Hao Meng looked left and right, and saw that no one spoke, so he hugged his fists and said: "Saibei is barren and withered, if the army continues to go deeper, I am afraid that I will go astray, and the last general suggests that I return to Jilusai to garrison." ”
Cao Xing immediately shook his head and retorted: "Shao Ti is the front of the Huns, and there will be a large army stationed behind it, and now our army is newly victorious and its morale is booming, why not repel the Huns in one breath to prevent future troubles?" ”
"Cao Junhou's words are different." Hou Cheng then retorted: "Although our army is a new victory, its strategic reserves are seriously depleted, and the army has not yet been completely repaired. ”
"The Huns not only have a Hu, but also Hugh Tu, Tu Ge Zhubu, they and the Hun lips and teeth are cold, each other is the horns, if the army continues to go deep alone, while facing more than just Hu, if the victory is good, in case of defeat, the chicken and deer plug will be in danger, once this pass is broken, the Hun army can drive straight in, into the Central Plains."
There was a lot of discussion in the big tent for a while, and the main battle and the anti-war accounted for half of each other.
"Wenyuan, what do you suggest?" Lu Bu opened his mouth slowly, and the tent immediately fell silent, and the eyes of all the generals turned to Zhang Liao.
"The last general thinks that it should be a battle!" Zhang Liao replied categorically.
Lu Bu nodded, and looked at Gao Shun again: "What about Shuda?" ”
Gao Shun replied loudly: "Quick decision!" ”
Lu Bu waved his big sword, and sat back in the handsome seat with a golden sword: "Tell me the reason." ”
"As Cao Junhou said, the main force of Yunhu is not far from us, its front has just been annihilated by our army, the main army will inevitably be disheartened, if we march at this time, we will definitely catch him off guard, we do not seek annihilation, only to defeat, so that it is unable to invade south." Gao Shun's words were sonorous and powerful, and the whole handsome tent lingered.
Hao Meng stepped forward and said, "But where the main force of the enemy army is, we have no way of knowing!" ”
Zhang Liao immediately took over the conversation: "Although most of the Ganhu have been annihilated today, there are still a small number of remnants of the enemy who are out of the encirclement, as long as we follow secretly, we will be able to find the main force of the Ganhu." ”
"The words of the two generals are certainly true, but have you ever thought about the consequences of our army's defeat?"
"There is only victory, why should you say defeat?" Zhang Liao replied angrily.
Hao Meng sneered: "General Zhang, this is too much, the Huns are nomadic people, children are proud of riding rams and learning small bows, and adult men are more skilled in bows and horses, brave and fierce, and carry dried meat and mare's milk when fighting, so there is no need to worry about supplies, and our army is just the opposite, horses do not say, they need a huge amount of military supplies during the battle, and our army is depleted in the first battle of Mingshan, and the supplies are seriously insufficient, how can we have the strength to fight again?" Let me ask the generals, isn't it grandstanding to win the battle? ”
Lu Bu also felt that Hao Meng was reasonable, his body leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Wen Yuan still has something to say?" ”
Zhang Liao hugged his fists and said: "The Huns are good at making bows, this is true, but they are only equipped with ordinary horn bows, and my Han soldiers are equipped with crossbows, once the two armies are engaged, whether it is range or lethality, the Huns can not be compared with our army, even if the Huns break through the arrow array, our army still has a car formation, the Han Dynasty's car warfare skills, a long history, far from the Spring and Autumn Warring States, near the former Qin and Western Han Dynasty. After the continuous improvement of the predecessors, it has long been indestructible, in front of our army and chariot array, just the Huns, what is there to fear? ”
Cao Xuan applauded: "If you talk about being brave and fierce, how can the Huns be as good as my Han soldiers, and the battle of the Twelve Beacons is enough to take a peek at the leopard." ”
When the generals heard this, they all agreed, and they also heard a little about the battle of the twelve beacons, and ten soldiers blocked the five thousand elite soldiers of the Huns on the suspension bridge, and in the end none of them survived.
Under Zhang Liao's analysis, Lu Bu walked to the map, his eyes swept all the mountains and rivers, and he smashed his fist on the map: "Immediately gather the three armies and prepare to get out of the fortress." ”
The generals glanced at each other, and they all clenched their fists and promised: "The last general will take the order." ”

On the vast savannah, countless circular tents are set up along the water, and on the periphery of the tents, adult men are grazing, women are working, and children are playing.
In the place where the tent is relatively dense, there is a gorgeous round tent, and the round tent is surrounded by armor soldiers, swords and guns, and the round tent is guarded to the water.
In the round tent, King Ganhu and his subordinates were analyzing the current situation, whether to retreat from Mobei or continue to invade the south, they were a little hesitant.
King Yunhu would never have thought that Shao Ti would be defeated so completely, and only 3,000 people escaped from the 30,000 army, whether Shao Ti was incompetent, or the commander of the Han army was too strong, this question was worth thinking about.
Shao Ti's ability is well known to Zhou, although he can't talk about using soldiers like a god, but he is still a leader in the Xiongnu departments, and the battle of Mingshan was beaten by the Han army to lose his armor and collapse into an army, which is enough to show that the generals of the Han army are not general.
Could it be that the big man has another Zhang Huan? Thinking that at the edge of Zhang Huan Town, all ethnic groups in Saibei did not dare to step into Heshuo half a step, and finally looked forward to Zhang Huan's death, and now there is a Lu Bu.
King Yunhu secretly admired when the Xiongnu would have another Mao Dun Shan Yu.
King Yunhu's gaze slowly swept over the pawn under the tent and asked, "Who is this Lu Bu, why haven't you heard of it before?" ”
One of the officials pondered for a while, and replied: "I have heard of this man, who went on an expedition with his father at the age of fifteen, and made a great name in the border area, and the various departments of the northern part of Cyprus called him a 'flying general'. ”
"Arrogance, is he the flying general Li Guangcheng?" One of the householders scoffed.
"It's not arrogant, this person has the capital of pride, please don't forget that King Lu Shuihu and King Dongqiang both died in his hands!"
All the leaders were silent, the battle of Manyi Valley and the battle of Jiuyuan, they had more or less heard of it, at first they thought it was just a bluff of the Han people, and now Shao Ti's army was defeated in Mingshan, which made them have to believe it.
The Han army did produce a remarkable figure.
"Do you think we should withdraw our troops or continue to invade south?" King Yunhu finally spoke.
The tent was full of confusion, and everyone hesitated, when they suddenly felt a sudden tremor under their feet, as if a huge saw was stirring the center of the earth.
King Ganhu stood up in shock and rushed out of the round tent surrounded by all the households.
As far as they could see, their light suddenly dimmed, a dull sound of thunder rolling in from the end of the sky, and the dark clouds on the horizon were getting closer and closer, as if a heavy rain was coming.
At that moment, the sky was as bleak as death, and the magnificent sunset was obscured by the black clouds that destroyed the city, as if a black cloth rose from the ground, covering the sky with lightning speed.
Under the layers of black clouds, a big curtain hunts in the wind, and a strong big character is written on it - Han
