Chapter 234: Beitou
Li Ru and Lu Bu's team sneaked through Guanzhong and headed to the east of the river. A group of hundreds of people, the goal is not small, all the way cautious, fortunately at this time the situation in Guanzhong is chaotic, up and down, there are not many twists and turns, and they enter the territory of Hongnong safely.
After looking for a boat to cross the river at the Maojin ferry in the north of Shaanxi County, Li Ru found that the east of the river did not seem to be stable. In the area on the north bank of the Great River, the traces of war damage are obvious, and along the way, you have encountered many bandits and bandits. After defeating several waves of unsightly rogues, Li Ru secretly pondered: For so long, the Xia army has not yet fully controlled Hedong and settled the county?
Li Ru was hidden near Chang'an before, and the news was blocked, so he naturally did not know the situation in Hedong, and he did not know Liu Yuan's rectification of the Hedong family.
After Xia Jun collected his sword, Hedong did slowly settle down, but the oppression was too much, and there was a lot of resistance and resistance in secret. Not long ago, under the command of Hu Cai and Han Xianam, the other remnants of Bai Bo moved from Hanoi out of the Wangwu Mountains to the west of Hedong, and swept through the southeast of the river in a short period of time, crisscrossing the area along the river.
The White Bo Army has such a big momentum and easily causes the south to erode, which is indispensable for the support and promotion of the heart, and Liu Yuan knows this very well.
He once ordered Yang Feng to send someone to contact Hu Cai and Han Xian to persuade them to surrender, but unfortunately these two people categorically refused. Liu Yuan didn't care about it at first, and just wanted to clean them up when he had his hands free.
Who would have thought that they were brave enough to be fat, and the 30,000 troops of the Xia army, stationed in the east of the river, dared to come to pick up the tiger's whiskers. Naturally, Bai Bo would not be allowed to go on rampantly, and Xu Bu Chiyi personally led the army south from Anyi to eliminate Hu Cai and Han Xian.
The previous behavior was too much, with the Xia army, it was necessary to leave a large amount of military strength to defend and suppress the counties, hundreds of counties and hundreds, and there were not too many soldiers and horses for Subu Chiyi to mobilize.
But war does not depend on a large number of people. Hu Cai and Han Xian coerced many people and won more than 50,000 people. But since the 10,000-step ride south, he has never been rampant anymore.
The Xia army fought under pressure and fought again and again, and the two of them were defeated more and more miserably each time, and they did not hold on for half a month, and their momentum died. The soldiers dispersed, and the two wanted to flee with the remnants of the army, but the Xia army divided the road and chased after them, wanting to kill them all.
Running around, it was always difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Xia army's iron cavalry, and he was driven to Sun City on the north bank of the river. At this time, Li Le and Han Xian "lost their way and returned" and sent an envoy to beg. Before Xu Bu Chiyi could reply, Han Xian on Bai Bo's side actually killed Hu Cai and took his head into the summer camp.
He blamed Hu Cai for all the blame, and pointed out many Hedong Haoqiang who contacted and supported them. In this way, the Xia army "became famous", and once again sacrificed the killing blade, and there was another cluster of Hedong heroes, and the clan was wiped out.
As for Han Xian, he did not survive, and was beheaded along with the remaining thousands of leaders of the Baibo army, and his body was thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. The remaining Bai Bo soldiers were beaten as coolies and moved to the north of Tuntian.
Yang Feng and Li Le, who followed Subu Chiyi to the south, witnessed the demise of tens of thousands of white waves, and had a further understanding of the Governor of Subu, who had always been "elegant and gentle".
At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, I didn't hesitate to accept Xia Jun's olive branch before, otherwise they would have ended up like this. Among the leaders of the Bai Bo Size who were killed, in addition to Han Xianam, there were many people they knew well.
Since then, the two of them have tightened a rope in their hearts, and they dare not have any slackness, and they honestly carry out military orders. For the change between the two quietly, Subu Chiyi knew it well. Half of today's Hedong Xia army are Bai Bo sergeants who have surrendered, and they will be used to fight in the future, and they will be much more honest after this shock.
The white wave struck, which took less than a month to go up and down, and although it was quickly extinguished, it caused great damage to several counties in the southeast of the river. Displaced people are everywhere, and many of the newly appointed county officials and county officials of Xia Guo have been killed, and Liu Yuan has to bother to replenish them.
In the past, Subu Chiyi focused on attacking the main forces of Hu Cai and Han Xian, but now although the thieves are peaceful and the head of Kou is dead, there are still many people who are fleeing in all directions and wandering in the county. Xu Bu Chiyi returned to Anyi and returned to his life, leaving Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Xu Huang to lead thousands of troops to be responsible for clearing the remnants of the thieves.
……
In the west of Sun City, Lu Bu and his party were surrounded by thousands of Xia troops, and their team of more than 400 people, with more than 300 cavalry, crossed the river and was targeted by the Xia army.
Xu Huang was the captain of the Xia military academy who was in charge of the suppression of thieves around Sun City, and when he heard that the sentry rode to report, he immediately ordered troops to come and blocked them.
In the face of the Xia army, Lu Bu's subordinates were ready to fight, and the Xia soldiers had already faced each other, although they were here to serve Liu Yuan, but they were also worried about the Xia army in front of them.
"Captain!" Wang Shun pointed at Lu Bu and his party and called out to Xu Huang.
This time he went south, Wang Shun also took the initiative to join the army and was a lieutenant of a cavalry army in the Xia army. After the extermination of Bai Bo, together with the five hundred Xia Qi under his command, he was transferred to Xu Huang by Xu Huang to obey the command, which shows that Xu Huang took a fancy to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang nodded, stepped forward, looked at Lu Bu and his party, looked at the "Lu" banner, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
"Wuyuan Lu Bu!" Lu Buce immediately stepped forward to meet Xu Huang's gaze and replied.
Xu Huang's eyes were a little surprised, Lu Bu's reputation for killing Dong had already spread all over the world, the two sides looked at each other for a while, and said, "General Lu, what are you doing in Hedong?" ”
At this time, Li Ru got out of the car, stepped forward, and saw that Lu Bu and his soldiers were on abnormal alert, and said softly: "Don't be so nervous!" ”
looked at Xu Huang and arched his hand: "This general, don't misunderstand." In Xia Li Ru, there is no way out with General Lu, so he has come to serve King Xia! ”
"Captain Xu Huang deserves the title of general!" Xu Huang frowned slightly when he heard this, looking at Li Ru, who was a "celebrity" again. However, there was much less vigilance in his expression, and he waved his hand to order his subordinates to put down the bows and arrows that were wound.
Seeing that Xu Huang was still suspicious, Li Ru chuckled and said, "I have an old relationship with King Xia, and I have come to be like-minded." I also hope that the captain will send someone to lead me and others to the north to ask to see King Xia, and then we will know the truth or falsehood. If you have to meet King Xia in person, you will be rewarded to the school captain! ”
When Xu Huang heard this, he was unmoved, and thought for a while and said, "I can send someone to lead you north to Anyi to meet King Xia!" Before Li Ru could thank him, he saw Xu Huang pointing at Lu Bu and the others: "But you soldiers and horses have to be temporarily detained here, otherwise I will be guilty of letting you ride hundreds of people north!" ”
"Don't think!" Lu Bu listened and immediately retorted. These more than 300 horses, but his last old book, before he saw Liu Yuan, he was about to be intercepted by his subordinates, how could he agree.
"Don't worry!" Li Ru stopped Lu Bu and said to Xu Huang: "We have agreed to the responsibilities of the school captain, and we can order our subordinates to temporarily live under the school captain." ”
"Wenyou!" Lu Bu was a little anxious, and scolded with a little anger.
"Fengxian, we are here to defect to King Xia, and it doesn't matter if we have these hundreds of cavalry troops. As long as King Xia accepts it, he will have thousands or tens of thousands of iron horsemen a day. If we want to forcibly lead people, it seems that we have ulterior motives. Li Ru said softly to Lu Bu: "Don't worry, as long as you arrive in Anyi, King Xia will treat us well." ”
"I hope it's as Wenyou expected!"
Seeing that Li Ru and Lu Bu agreed, Xu Huang waved his hand and ordered: "Wang Shun, you lead a hundred horsemen and escort them to Anyi!" ”
"No!"
