The bloody breath surging from the tiger prison can be felt even from afar, in the early morning, the sun rises in the east, and a group of about 50,000 people slowly comes from the direction of Luoyang, although it is unlikely that the enemy will appear in the east, but Gao Shun has also made some deployments, and the troops defending the city were startled when they saw this force, and hurriedly blew the horn, and Gao Shun, who was resting in the camp, hurriedly came with people.

"General, is it reinforcements?" A general looked at Gao Shun in confusion.

Gao Shun took the clairvoyant mirror in the general's hand and looked at it, and saw that in front of this army, on a handsome flag, the words "General Han" were written on it, and he nodded silently: "It is General Han De, the former commander of the Chang'an City Guard, prepare horses." ”

Although it was Han De, Gao Shun did not carelessly prevent the other party from entering the city, but brought a team of men and horses to meet him, and at a distance of two hundred steps, he signaled the soldiers behind him to blow the trumpet and signal the other party to stop moving forward.

"The last general, Han De, see General Gao!" Han De stopped the troops, stepped forward, and saluted Gao Shun.

"Why is General Han here?" Gao Shun nodded, looked at the army behind Han De suspiciously, and when he got closer, he found that almost all the men and horses brought by Han De were Hu soldiers and horses from the Western Regions.

"The lord learned that the battle in Tiger Prison Pass was fierce, and he ordered the last general to bring troops to come and wait for the general's dispatch." Han De escaped from his arms: "This is a talisman given by the lord, and the fate will be handed over to the general." ”

"Why ......" After determining the authenticity of the talisman, Gao Shun ordered someone to switch it on, let these soldiers and horses in, and looked at the soldiers from all countries in the Western Regions with big shoulders and round waists, Gao Shun was puzzled.

"General rest assured, these are the newly recruited soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, last year, the lord has issued a recruitment order in the Western Regions, opening 10,000 Han places, as long as he can make meritorious contributions, he will be allowed to enter the Han nationality, in the Western Regions, the lord has levied 100,000 Hu soldiers in the Western Regions this time, if it weren't for the delay in gathering soldiers and horses and training, I'm afraid it would have arrived a long time ago!"

Lakh?

Gao Shun frowned and said: "There are enough soldiers in our army, why should we recruit Hu soldiers?" ”

Han De cautiously glanced around, leaned over to Gao Shun's side and said: "This time, the soldiers of Tiger Prison Pass and Yique Pass have lost a lot, although our army is brave, but just the supply of these casualties, I heard that half of the money and grain in the treasury will be consumed, and if you fight again, the treasury should be empty, these Hu people from the Western Regions came voluntarily, and only by making meritorious deeds can they get the same treatment as Han soldiers, so ...... Hey hey ......"

Looking at Han De's tacit expression, the corners of Gao Shun's mouth twitched a few times, in fact, there has been a lot of money and food under Lu Bu's rule over the years, and the annual commercial tax alone is enough to feed ten times the number of troops, but if it is calculated as a settlement fee, it is indeed a lot, especially in this battle, there are too many soldiers who have been damaged, and a large number of them have been pressed down, and half of the treasury Gao Shun does not believe it, but this year's tax estimates have to be filled in.

In fact, it is not the first time that Lu Bu has done this kind of thing to tempt the soldiers of the Western Regions to fight with Han nationality, Gao Shun is very clear about Lu Bu's thoughts, not only to solve the big economic consumption, but more importantly, to be able to disintegrate the war potential of the Western Regions, this time 100,000 Hu soldiers were recruited at once, and a little bit of the family background of those countries in the Western Regions was probably dug up by Lu Bu's bloodless means, how much could be left in the end, Gao Shun didn't know, but what was left must be elite, according to Lu Bu's previous urine, These people will definitely be Han Chinese, and they have nothing to do with the countries of the Western Regions.

As for what the other 50,000 Hu soldiers Lu Bu used to do, Gao Shun didn't ask, but there are these 50,000 Hu soldiers in the Western Regions, and according to Lu Bu's previous logic, it can be used to the death, for the current Gao Shun, it really solves the urgent need, and there is no need to worry about casualties, the soldiers of the Tiger Prison Pass have been fighting continuously and intensively these days, and they are already very tired.

"The army has been delivered, and the last general will rush back to Luoyang to resume his life, so he will leave." After Han De completed the handover, he said goodbye to Gao Shun and returned to Luoyang with his personal guards.

"General, these Hu soldiers and horses are ......" Returning to the Tiger Prison Pass, Xu Sheng looked at Gao Shun puzzled.

"Reinforcements." Gao Shun said expressionlessly: "The lord recruited him from the Western Regions, leaving the generals of each army and replacing the soldiers on the pass. ”

"I see." Xu Sheng's expression was abrupt, the Hu soldiers of the Western Regions, to put it bluntly, were no different from the slave soldiers of the past, the difference was that Lu Bu treated these Hu soldiers more humanely...... In terms of treatment.

The military salary is halved, and there is no pension for death, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as the elite in Guanzhong, but it is more affordable, and there is no need to feel distressed when fighting, Xu Sheng rubbed his hands a little excitedly: "The last general will do it!" ”

On the morning of the same day, when Cao Cao waved his troops to attack the city again, he was keenly aware that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tiger Prison Pass was much weaker, but the battle situation was even more tragic, it seemed that Gao Shun suddenly began to care about the casualties of the soldiers, and launched fierce hand-to-hand combat on the city wall, Cao's army rushed to the city several times, but soon it was piled back by the soldiers and horses who went forward to guard the pass, as if the two sides were transferred to each at once, a battle was fought, the losses were reduced, and the battle losses were also reduced from yesterday's one to five to one to two, But Cao Cao was not happy.

"Lord, those defenders in the city are not the original army at all, except for the generals, almost all of them are Hu soldiers and horses, Gao Shun doesn't care about the life or death of the soldiers and horses!" Xu Huang and Gao Ran came to Cao Cao's side and smiled bitterly.

"It seems that Lu Bu's reinforcements have arrived!" Xun You looked in the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass and sighed leisurely: "Lord, you can't fight anymore." ”

If you continue to fight, the Tiger Prison will not be broken, and their soldiers and horses will be consumed, although the battle damage has been reduced a lot, but Lu Bu has never cared about these Hu people's army, but Cao Cao's army, aside from the wounded soldiers, there are not many people who can fight now, if it is consumed again, I am afraid that in the end Cao Cao will not even be able to defend against Gao Shun's counterattack, the other party's elite is now recuperating, if there is not even the last bit of defensive strength, then don't wait for Jizhou to make a move, when Gao Shun's soldiers are out of the Tiger Prison, I'm afraid that the entire Yingchuan will tremble under Gao Shun's soldiers.

"Then Lu Bu is not afraid of these Hu soldiers and horses rebelling?" Xiahou Yuan said angrily.

"He's not afraid." Xun You shook his head, looked at Cao Cao and said: "Three years ago, when Lu Bu was on an expedition to Qiuzi, Wusun, and Dawan, he used this method, and at that time, Lu Bu promised all countries in the Western Regions, regardless of their origins, as long as they were willing to assist those who fought in battle, they could obtain the status of Han people after the war. ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened blankly when he heard this: "Just with this, who wants to?" Those Hu people have broken heads? Did anyone respond? ”

"That time, Lu Bu recruited 110,000 allied troops in the Western Regions, and even many Wusun, Qiuzi and Dawan people responded to Lu Bu's call, these people were the main force to attack the Three Kingdoms, which took six months, and the three kingdoms of Wusun, Qiuci and Dawan were merged into the territory of the Han family."

"Just for the name of a Chinese nationality? What about the coalition of nations? Xiahou Yuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Xun You.

"General Miaocai, don't underestimate the influence of this Han nationality on the Silk Road." Xun You sighed bitterly: "Lu Bu fulfilled his promise, and the 5,000 allied troops who survived in the end were all awarded Han nationality by Lu Bu, and many outstanding performers were awarded the title of Honorary Lord, with this, not only can you enjoy the treatment of Han people, but also join the army and enjoy the preferential treatment of the soldiers under the command of Lu Bujun." ”

"One hundred thousand? Five thousand? Xiahou Yuan looked at Xun Yu incredulously, this was even more bizarre than the legend.

Xun Yu nodded astringently, regardless of whether the Central Plains family is willing to admit it or not, in the countries outside the Saiwai, when the Hu people mention the Han people, what they think of is not the imperial court, but Lu Bu, what the Han Dynasty has not done in four hundred years, but Lu Bu has done it in ten years, why did Lu Bu advocate a hundred schools of thought and shake the status of Confucianism, although the Confucians under his rule resisted, they were never willing to unite with Kwantung Confucianism, and even ashamed to be together?

The Xun family also sent caravans to secretly travel on the Silk Road, so Xun You felt very clearly about this, their caravans were on the Silk Road, even if they encountered robbers, they were regarded as uncles, so Xun You knew very well what the name Lu Bu represented outside the Saiwai, and the current status of the Han people was almost all played by Lu Bu, and it was precisely because of this glory that even if Guanzhong Confucianism was pulled down by Lu Bu from the position of academic exclusivity, he did not want to turn his back on Lu Bu, and was even more ashamed to be with the Central Plains family, because in their eyes, the Central Plains Confucianism was too low, There is no terrifying influence and appeal of Lu Bu at all.

"And the five thousand Hu soldiers are dead set on Lu Bu, because Lu Bu has brought them glory and wealth." Xun You looked at Cao Cao with a wry smile and said, "Lord, our army must now be ready to meet Lu Bu's counterattack, and we can't fight anymore." ”

If you insist on fighting for three more days according to Cao Cao's plan, even if you kill all the Hu soldiers and horses who are guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao will face the soldiers and horses of the Guan Zhong after recuperating their strength, and the elite of the Guan will be killed, and when the time comes, they will wait to be swept away.

"What's the way Gongda can do it?" Cao Cao only felt bitter in his mouth, but he didn't expect to fight to the end, and he failed to win the Tiger Prison Pass, but beat himself half-crippled.

"Relying on this battalion, build another tiger prison!" Xun You said in a deep voice.

This is thanks to Gao Shun's sneak attack before he saw the cracks, so that Cao Cao built this camp very strongly, and he can use this camp as a basis to rebuild a checkpoint, and at the same time recuperate and recuperate, blocking Gao Shun's army in the Tiger Prison Pass, although the Tiger Prison Pass was not defeated, but Lu Bu wanted to break through this level if he wanted to send troops from the Tiger Prison Pass.

"According to Gongda's words!" Cao Cao sighed and said. (To be continued.) )
