Xu Huang made a lot of money here, and perfectly completed the task he shared, but the senior cadres did not go well.

After his 80,000 horses rushed into the grassland, they were greeted by the Zahu who were rampant in this area, and they were all fearless of death, and fought to the death with Gao Gan's troops, and finally, Gao Gan fell into the vast sea of the so-called people's war.

Although Zahu does not belong to the same nation, it is this difficulty of surviving in the cracks that gives them tenacious vitality and unyielding fighting spirit.

In the face of more than 80,000 Han cavalry and chariot soldiers armed to the teeth, they put up a desperate resistance.

Gao Gan frowned, looking at the miscellaneous beards that fell at the feet of his soldiers, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It was only a rabble of two or three thousand, who waged a stalkling battle with themselves, and finally dragged their entire army here for a whole day, covering their old and young and their few domestic cattle and sheep into the deep grassland.

This has happened more than once, and since entering the grassland, his team has always been entangled by these small groups of enemies, and time has been wasted in this entanglement.

"Brother, is there any news from Xu Huang?" Gao Gan wiped the big gun in his hand, frowned, and asked the Jinyi guard beside him.

This brocade guard replied with a wry smile: "Xu Shuai has advanced 300 miles to the grassland, and he has captured a lot, not counting cattle, sheep and horses, and there are already as many as 400,000 slaves taken captive. ”

Gao Gan was stunned there, looking at the distant grassland, and finally had to sigh.

Speaking of conscience, Gao Gan bears the name of a famous general in Hebei, and he doesn't look down on other generals in his eyes, this time he was designated by the lord as Xu Huang's deputy, and he was somewhat indignant in his heart, and the reason why he fully cooperated with Xu Huang was because the general order was in, and the relationship between his superiors and subordinates in Youzhou was actually very strict, and the general order was above all else, and in the army, the order must be strictly implemented, and there was no room for bargaining.

Orders must be strictly implemented, and the senior cadres have definitely done their duty, and they did not make any emotions, but devoted themselves to the training of the army, and secretly competed with Xu Huang.

This time, the lord ordered an assault on the grassland, Xu Huang was in charge of the first line of Yanmen Pass, he took his own 20,000 soldiers to attack, and Gao Gan was in charge of the first line of Daijun, although the battle line was long, but he also had the most men and horses, full of 80,000 people.

Gao Gan didn't think that Xu Huang was humiliating himself, but thought that he should have these horses.

Since he has mastered such a strong strength, he must make amazing achievements, he instructed Tai Shici and Yang Feng that the entire team is divided into three ways, and everyone goes hand in hand, with the momentum of destroying the withered and decaying Mount Tai, completely annihilating this piece of miscellaneous Hu, and then sweeping away all the Xianbei people within 500 miles.

But the result was unexpected by Gao Gan, the entire combat power of these miscellaneous beards, compared with Gao Gan's army, is the difference between heaven and earth, but even with such a huge difference, those miscellaneous beards are like moths to a fire, and they are desperate to attack themselves wave after wave, dragging the footsteps of their army to death, so that their people can escape, in the past few days, they have killed a lot of people, but unfortunately there are not many prisoners, and even if these miscellaneous people are captured, The merchants who followed them were also reluctant to buy them as slaves, because they were too wild to be tamed, and even if they were bought, they would definitely be a dangerous seed.

So now, the team of senior cadres is struggling to make ends meet according to the rules.

This is secondly, in fact, Mi Zhu's breaking the rules is just forcing these soldiers to fight hard, if the war is really lost, the cabinet will still supplement everyone according to normal standards.

But there is a very critical problem here, that is, in the secret competition with Xu Huang, he has fallen behind. And if they are entangled like this, they have wasted a lot of time, and the news of their own troops on the grassland will also be quickly transmitted to the ears of the Xianbei people, which will make them vigilant and waste their time and opportunities, which is the most important thing.

After thinking carefully for a while, Gao Gan made a decision, the 30,000 horses in his hands were divided into 10,000 and divided into two teams, each team of 5,000, which was specifically responsible for exterminating these annoying Zahu, and he took the remaining 20,000 horses to the north regardless of the assault, passed through Zahu's residence, and carried out an assault on the Xianbei headquarters, hoping that he would still be able to have time to strike at the Xianbei people who had been alerted.

"General, if you attack so rashly, it will be impossible for the merchants to pass through the occupied territory of Zahu and provide enough food and grass for the masses, and when the time comes, the food and grass materials will be cut off, and you and your entire army will be in danger." The joining of the army immediately repudiated this reckless method of Gao Gan.

If the grain and grass in the back of the army are cut off, the morale of the army will be weakened, and defeat is doomed.

Gao Gan said nonchalantly: "I will prepare three days of grain and grass for the army now, and please tell my soldiers to kill and loot to meet the needs of our army, or they will starve to death in the depths of the grassland." ”

This is the destruction of the boat, this is the desperate bet.

The army is only responsible for the staff officer, and cannot block the commander's military decision, which is also the rule of the Youzhou group, so this army member wrote a report on the decision of the senior cadre and passed it to the cabinet of Youzhou, and then followed the army of the senior cadre into the depths of the grassland as a literati.

Along the way, for those small tribes simply gave up, and for those large tribes, it was handed over to the two teams that were separated, and the large army kept going north day and night, looking for their real enemies, the Xianbei people.

In this way, the army marched all the way north, passing through the dangerous Zahu garrison, and after a day of food shortage, the army finally walked out of the Zahu area and began to step into the real Xianbei territory.

Fortunately, Zahu was also an enemy of the Xianbei people, and they had no obligation to inform the Xianbei people of the news that the Han Dynasty's army had entered the grassland, so in front of the hungry Gao Gan, they met a tribe of the Xianbei people.

The tribesmen did not feel the danger coming, they were still leisurely grazing their cattle and sheep, and the smoke of the evening cooking, rising on top of one after another, was a peaceful place.

So Gao Gan pointed the spear in his hand at this small tribe, opened his mouth full of blood, and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "In order to have a full meal, brothers, rush with me." ”
