The messenger returned soon after, ten days before and after.

Zhou Fei was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Huns, but he felt that the Huns were a little greedy, and as soon as he relaxed his management of them, he climbed the pole, which could not help the growth.

Now he couldn't take care of so much, and immediately ordered Guan Yu to set off and go to Lishi to join the Hun cavalry.

Guan Yu was already ready to go, and the five thousand cavalry were ready to go.

Yiqu opened the road in front of the head of the cavalry, Guan Yu was in the center, and Zhou Cang escorted the grain and grass behind.

Now Guan Yu is complacent, leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses independently, and his expression is even more arrogant. I think that at the beginning, I defected to the lord with a guilty body, and in just over 2 years, he took up the post of captain, and the old father had already been the captain, and the change was too great; Secretly, in order to repay the grace of the lord, he must come up with well-deserved military exploits.

On November 15, the troops arrived at Lishi.

The Hun cavalry was also ready to go.

When the Huns saw that the Han had sent such a young commander, some officers had contempt in their hearts, but Guan Yu saw it in his eyes and remained silent.

After greeting with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, Guan Yu immediately convened a military meeting, which was attended by Zhou Cang, ten princes and scribes, etc., and the Xiongnu side was Zuoxian Wang, Zuo Da General, Zuo Da Danghu and ten thousand commanders.

Fortunately, after hundreds of years of mixed living, the Xiongnu people can listen and speak Chinese proficiently.

Guan Yu first announced military discipline:

Those who do not obey the order will be killed!

Greedy for life and afraid of the dead, behead!

Loot grabbers, slash!

......

As soon as the eighteen military disciplines for beheading were announced, a Xiongnu commander muttered: "This is the military discipline of the Han people, not the military discipline of our Huns, why should it be imposed on us?" It is the ability to win the battle, and what is the ability to kill one's own people. ”

Guan Yu was angry in his heart and shouted: "Who is making a noise?" Please get out of the line! If you have something to say, please say it to your face, don't mumble behind your back. ”

Glancing at everyone, seeing that no one was out of the ranks, Guan Yu scolded angrily: "Bad seed, dare not say it!" ”

In order to avoid greater embarrassment, King Zuo Xian hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Guan Chief, when will I pay for the grain?" ”

Guan Yu was only for Liwei, and did not continue to delve into it, and when he saw that King Zuo Xian changed the topic, he brought this over, and said: "According to our standards, three stones of grain per person per month for horses, I will issue a voucher for receiving grain, and your department can go to the Taoyuan Fort of the Champion Hou to withdraw it, there is a grain depot in Sanchakou Fort, and the transportation is very convenient, and General Zuo is very familiar with it." The food reward was paid in a lump sum after the war. ”

Although General Zuo was a little dissatisfied with this, he needed them to send someone to transport it, and there was a lot of consumption, but fortunately, the conditions offered by the Han were quite favorable, so he readily accepted this condition.

King Zuo Xian asked again: "Then when will you leave?" ”

"Set off early tomorrow morning, and spend three days sweeping the Wuhuan people on both sides of the river, and kill all those who can be incorporated and those who can't; Subsequently, the right side killed Benyang Zhou, and the left side followed me to Pingdu. ”

"Yes!" The crowd immediately responded, not daring to turn their heads and ears again.

Guan Yu said again: "After occupying Yangzhou County on the right, we must stick to ensure the safety of the rear road of the army and block the reinforcements of the Qiang people from moving south." ”

"Yes!" The left boss immediately responded, and he was appointed commander on the right. In his mind, the Qiang people are a plate of scattered sand, and they will not help each other at all, and he is stationed in Yangzhou County, which just has the opportunity to plunder the Quartet.

Subsequently, King Zuo Xian ordered Guan Yu to tell Guan Yu in detail about the military situation and the location of the various tribes in the Hexi region. Guan Yu also negotiated with Zuo Da Danghu and General Zuo Da to assign their respective goals and tasks, and strive to hit one blow and end the war in Xihe County as soon as possible.

That night, King Zuo Xian solemnly entertained Guan Yu and his party; Guan Yu, as the chief of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, happened to be a high-ranking official in charge of Xiongnu affairs, and he had to have a good relationship; And strictly ordered all departments to obey military orders.

The next day, after dawn, the large army set out in three directions. Whether it was the Han army or the Hun cavalry, all the morale was high, and they were full of belief in the victory of the next war, Guan Yu was very satisfied with this, but strictly ordered the generals of all departments not to underestimate the enemy, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

Guan Yu led his troops to the west, and he transferred the Wuhuan cavalry of the ten tuns and formed two separate divisions, commanded by two middle-level generals; He and Zhou Cangbing split up in two ways and went straight to the two nearest Wuhuan tribes.

The Wuhuan tribes in Xihe County are very small, there are about more than ten small tribes, and the strength of each tribe is not more than 500 cavalry, but the Wuhuan tribes here are extremely united, and they support each other when there is something going on; The Huns were also reluctant to provoke them, and if they kept coming back to retaliate after fleeing, it would be more than worth the loss.

In view of this information, Guan Yu decided to attack the two nearby Wuhuan tribes at the same time, and then work together to clean up the third tribe.

In order to obtain the greatest results and reduce his own casualties, Guan Yu explained to Zhou Cang in detail, and Zhou Cang readily agreed.

On November 16, Guan Yu crossed the Yellow River with his troops and separated from Zhou Cang, who took away a song of Wuhuan cavalry and a four song of Han cavalry, a total of more than 2,100 people.

Leaving two Han cavalry to escort grain and grass behind, Guan Yu also led the same number of cavalry as Zhou Cang first.

The north wind is howling, the weather is very cold, the Wuhuan tribe can no longer graze, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock are all kept in the camp, relying on the autumn grass to raise.

The Wuhuan people all stayed in the tribe, which facilitated the actions of Guan Yu and the others, and it was convenient to wipe them out.

With the arrival of a large number of cavalry, the Wuhuan people were very alert, and they sensed it from a long distance and began to prepare for defense.

The soldiers were fast, Guan Yu led the cavalry to hurry over, and the four troops quickly surrounded the Wuhuan camp.

The Wuhuan people were also prepared for battle in a hurry. The gate of the camp was blocked with a wooden cart, and there were horses outside the fence, and a trench was dug before and after the horses, shields and other obstacles were erected inside the fence, and the young men were prepared to shoot arrows behind the obstacles; The horses are all ready, ready to break through at any time to avoid the annihilation of the whole army; Children, the elderly, etc., take refuge in tents to avoid accidental injury; Others were armed with knives and guns, or were responsible for carrying arrows, all in their own role.

These Wuhuan people are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they are not afraid in the face of so many Han officers and soldiers.

Guan Yu did not choose to rush to attack, but let five hundred Wuhuan cavalry line up outside the camp, and sent a well-spoken Wuhuan warrior to the opponent's camp to persuade him to surrender.

Communicating in their own language has a natural sense of closeness, which makes the Wuhuan people in the camp feel a little reassured, and they bring the Wuhuan warriors into the camp.

The patriarchs, elders, and others immediately began talks with the envoys.

The patriarch asked sharply: "You are also Wuhuan people, why did you come to attack your own people with the Han officers and soldiers?" ”

The envoy smiled: "Haha, where are there Wuhuan people now?" All of them have become Han Chinese; The Wuhuan King of Shanggu County, the patriarch of the Wuhuan tribes of Dai County, the Wuhuan King of Youbeiping County, and the Wuhuan King of Liaoxi County were all beheaded by the Han Dynasty, and the people were absorbed; Those who dare to resist will be killed; But our lives are much better and more stable than they used to be. ”

Hearing this, the patriarch's face turned pale, and it seemed that the disaster of the tribe was imminent, and it was either exterminated or co-opted.

Someone else ignored the patriarch's face and bravely asked, "Where is your family?" What do you enjoy? ”

The clansmen seem to have a heart-warming feeling, they don't have to lose their lives, and their lives are better, who doesn't feel excited?
