The Huns suddenly invaded Bingzhou, and Jinyiwei rushed to Yanzhou and reported this information to Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately came to see Ming Jian.

"Your Majesty, the Huns are in Koubian, and the hussar general has already led his troops to meet the enemy."

The hussar general that Li Yuanfang said is worthy of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun is still the governor of Bingzhou, and he trains soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, which should come in handy at this time.

At this time, the Xiongnu were no longer the overlords who dominated the north back then, and after the continuous blows of the Eastern and Western Hans, the Huns ran and surrendered, and there were many tribes that were annexed, and they were unable to launch an attack on the Han at all.

Now it's suddenly invading, and it seems that something is wrong.

"They just want to harass the Han Dynasty, I see, this is someone deliberately provoking, wanting the Huns to drag the court, but they themselves take the opportunity to develop, waiting for the opportunity to become bigger, so that they can confront the court in the future. However, I also want to teach the tribes in the north a lesson, so I will pass the order, and I will immediately change the route and enter the state, and prepare to conquer the Xiongnu in person! ”

Ming Jian said.

Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's been so long since you came out this time, do you want to go back to Xuzhou first?" ”

"No need, you send someone to send Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu to Xuzhou, and I will lead the troops to Bingzhou myself." Ming Jian said.

......

Ming Jian stopped and began to straighten out his soldiers and horses. There were not many soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, and there were only 10,000 left for Zhao Yun at the beginning, and there were no more than 30,000 from Yuan Tan's army.

As for the generals, there are a lot of generals, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, Dong Ping, Yuan Shao, and the newly surrendered commander of the Montenegrin Army Zhang Yan all served under Zhao Yun, especially this Dong Ping, who was drawn out of the opponent's red envelope last time, and has never shown up.

This reminded Ming Jian of another Guan Sheng who defected to Dong Zhuo through the opponent's red envelope, and this guy didn't appear, could it be that he went to Guan Erye?

Among Ming Jian's casual army this time, Wang Yanzhang and Lin Chong still led the team, and the number of troops was only five hundred, so it was necessary to replenish the nearest men.

However, Ming Jian felt that if he wanted to sweep through the northern tribes, he would have to have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses this time. As for the strategy, Ming Jian planned to adopt the strategy of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, attack from multiple directions, and at the same time unite with some small tribes with weaker forces to level the northern tribes in one fell swoop.

With so many soldiers and horses, grain and grass are another problem, I don't know when the system upgrade will be good, and now the grain in the treasury is no longer enough to support 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight.

And the winter wheat will take more than two months to be harvested, which presents a problem for Ming Jian.

Ming Jian suddenly remembered that when Huo Qubing went on an expedition against the Huns, he adopted the method of raising war by fighting, and he immediately felt that he could also try.

The Huns and nomads raised cattle, sheep and horses, and I am afraid that they will have to eat these things every day.

The next day, Ming Jian summoned Yanzhou Assassin Shi Zhong Xuan.

After Zhong Jian came, Ming Jian asked, "Zhong Aiqing, how many troops are there in Yanzhou?" ”

Zhong Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yanzhou now has only 3,000 regular troops, led by Cao Shangshu's son Cao Ang, who is responsible for the work of Tuntian in peacetime. However, there are 100,000 people in the reserves, and I don't know what Your Majesty's will is? ”

Ming Jian said: "Xiongnu Koubian, I plan to recruit in person, so I want to replenish the nearest people, you immediately go and pass my order to Cao Ren, the governor of Yanzhou, and order him to recruit all the reserves into the army to participate in this Northern Expedition." ”

Zhong Miao responded.

Ming Jian then thought again, now that most of the places have stabilized, most of the regular soldiers in a state can only do some miscellaneous things such as tuntian, which has little effect, and when the Northern Expedition comes back, it should be disarmed.

There are people and horses, but the generals who lead the army should not be enough, and now most of the generals are following Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and there are not many who can be mobilized. However, Guan Yu and Qin Qiong in Yuzhou can be transferred, and after defeating Yuan Shu, the two of them are training as Tu. In addition, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in Guanzhong must follow this time, and by the way, they will see how powerful the trapping camp trained by the two is.

After some scheduling, twenty days later, Ming Jian's 100,000 horses felt Yanmen County.

Everywhere he went, Ming Jian could see a mess, although the Huns did not break through Yanmen County, but they brought great damage to the city, and the county governance hall was seriously damaged, and the defenders in the city died 80 percent, which was the heaviest loss.

After Ming Jian entered the city, he didn't see Zhao Yun, and after asking, he realized that Zhao Yun had led three thousand cavalry to pursue the Huns.

"Spread the decree, bury the fallen soldiers, and give three hundred taels of silver to those who have family members."

Ming Jian first calmed the hearts of the army and the people.

After a series of policies were carried out, the morale of the people and the army in Yanmen County quickly settled down.

Ming Jian arranged for 50,000 reservists to work in the field and help the people do some farm work.

Then he led his army into the Northern Desert.

The main reason why nomads are difficult to conquer is that they have no fixed place, they live in water and grass, and they are all cavalry, and they come and go very quickly.

Ming Jian quickly dispatched the Jinyi Guards and asked them to go to various places in the Northern Desert to inquire about information first.

He himself sat in a super tank, slowly and leisurely, and as he walked, he still had the heart to train the reserves.

After walking like this for about ten days, news finally came.

What Jinyiwei brought back was not news of the Huns, but news of the Xianbei people.

A group of about 30,000 Xianbei people, led by a Xianbei leader named Budugen, was rushing towards the imperial army.

"Step root? This person has a bit of an impression, as if he is Shan Yu of the Xianbei tribe, right? But the current Xianbei tribe should be divided and don't have much combat effectiveness, right? ”

As soon as Ming Jian recalled, he also remembered that now the Xianbei tribe has three relatively large forces: Budugen, Kebineng, and Suli.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Han army, there is naturally no need to fear the Xianbei tribe, although they are all cavalry.

"Order: Quickly move closer to the Xianbei cavalry, the cavalry will follow me to entangle them first, and then the Modao battalion, followed by the Shenqi battalion, and the infantry last."

Ming Jian immediately gave the order and began to accelerate, sitting on the tank at full speed towards the Xianbei people.

Qin Qiong and Guan Yu led the cavalry to follow behind, and within two days, they faced the Xianbei people in a plain area.

"Order someone to shout and ask about the purpose of the Xianbei people."

Ming Jian ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, a soldier who understood Xianbei went out to shout, and after a while, he came back to report the situation, it turned out that these Xianbei people saw the Huns fighting the grass valley and felt that there was an opportunity, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court had not had time to break through Yanmen County, and then wait for the opportunity to go south.

Now the leader of the Xianbei army is Bu Dugen, and he is very arrogant and asks the Han army to surrender, otherwise he will be killed.

Ming Jian laughed: "It's just a frog at the bottom of the well!" Order: Guan Yu led 5,000 troops to go around behind the Xianbei people, Qin Qiong led the other cavalry to wait, and waited for half an hour after my tank artillery attack before attacking! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
