The northern territory of the Han Dynasty has entered a time of turmoil. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the rebellion of Ma Teng and Han Sui was quelled, the accurate news came that the Xianbei people were going south.
And when Huangfu Song and others were about to meet the Xianbei people, a holy decree from Luoyang transferred Huangfu Song to Youzhou. There was another rebellion in Yuyang County in Youzhou.
It's really raining when the roof is leaking.
After Huangfu Song left, Zhu Jun took over the baton of the commander-in-chief of the war in Liangzhou.
After a heated discussion between Cao De and the three, they decided to take the initiative. Defend the enemy outside the country, and put the battlefield on the territory of the Huns.
In this expedition, except for Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan with 36,000 people guarding the city in Wuwei County and Beidi County, the rest of the men and horses all walked out of the gate of the Han Dynasty and fought a field battle with the Xianbei people!
Among them, there are 40,000 people from Dong Zhuo, 15,000 from Zhu Jun and 70,000 from Cao Dejia Ma Teng!
After Dong Zhuo encircled and suppressed Han Sui under Longxi City, Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown, recruited soldiers, and restored his men to 40,000 people.
The army followed the north bank of Weishui all the way to Jincheng. Then, the army crossed the Yellow River at Jincheng and arrived at Wuwei City.
In Wuwei City, the army will be divided into two. Wuwei City will become a base camp against the Xianbei people. All the armies would set out from Wuwei, cross the Great Wall, and reach the vast prairie.
And Wuwei City is also the first line of defense for the invasion of the Hell Xianbei people. Therefore, the 30,000 infantry led by Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan were mainly defending in Wuwei County.
And when the army was about to go on the march, the messenger of the Xianbei people came again. Only this time they came to the wrong place.
Before they came from the north to the south of the Great Wall, they did not expect that Ma Teng, whom they were coming to woo, had become their enemy. By the time they found out, a sentry had surrounded them.
After that, the envoy was sent to Zhu Jun, and Cao De volunteered to serve as an interrogator. After Cao De tossed several envoys back to life, Cao De got the answer he wanted. Then, he was sent to a prison and kept under strict guard.
187 A.D., August 16. On this day, the weather in Wuwei was exceptionally good. The sun is shining, the breeze is light, and there are no clouds.
The outside of Wuwei City is also particularly lively today. 125,000 soldiers in red uniforms; 125,000 tall and strong horses. In front of them is a newly built Dianjiangtai, in front of which is the tall city wall of Wuwei City, and on the city wall is tens of thousands of flags waving softly in the wind.
120,000 people, all in formation, how spectacular, Cao De is also the first time to see it.
Just after noon, a loud horn sounded over the head of Wuwei City, and then Zhu Jun was in front, and Cao De and Dong Zhuo followed closely behind and walked out of the gate hole of Wuwei City.
The three of them did not make any stops, and directly boarded the point platform. At the same time, a group of brightly armored soldiers also trotted to the point platform holding high the dragon flag of the big man.
Zhu Jun and the three of them were all dressed in military uniforms, and their mighty armor made them even more imposing on the solemn platform.
Zhu Jun took a step forward and said loudly: "Xianbei thieves have repeatedly committed crimes, robbed my Han finances, killed my Han people, and disturbed the peace of my Han. Although my Han is a benevolent and righteous country, we also have our swords in our hands. Now, the Xianbei thieves have raised 200,000 troops to invade our border again, soldiers, tell me what we should do! ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Okay, come on, bring it!"
Soon six soldiers accompanied three men with disheveled hats to the podium.
"These three people are the meticulous works sent by the Xianbei thieves. Now, let me cut off their heads and sacrifice the banner for my army! ”
After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he took out the ring hand knife on his waist. Cao De and Dong Zhuo, who were behind Zhu Jun, also took out the big knife at their waists, and walked to the envoy sent by the Xianbei people one by one.
The knife fell without the slightest pause. Three heads rolled off the platform.
Dong Zhuo raised the big knife that was still dripping with blood, and shouted loudly: "Swear to destroy Xianbei!" ”
Cao De followed, "The big man will win!" ”
Zhu Jun ended, "The Han is mighty! ”
The earth-shattering shouts followed.
"Swear to destroy Xianbei!"
"The Great Han will win!"
"The Great Han is mighty!"
……
Then, Zhu Jun waved forward, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the Great Wall, "The army is on the march!" ”
The first to set off was Dong Zhuo and his 40,000 horsemen. It was Dong Zhuo who proposed a decisive battle with the Xianbei people in the wild, who would you go up first.
Next is Cao De and Ma Teng's 70,000 horses. It's just that these 70,000 people are also divided into two groups, one of which is only 20,000 people, and the other group is the remaining 50,000 people.
At the end of the battle was Zhu Jun and his 15,000 Han Central Army.
On this expedition, Cao De brought all the generals except Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan.
However, Cao De still divided the people who traveled with him into two parts. As mentioned earlier, Cao De divided the 70,000 people he and Ma Teng together into two parts, one of which was led by Cao De, including Zhao Yun's Zi Rat Cavalry and Ma Wan's 10,000 Qiang cavalry, and the only generals brought out by Cao De were Pei Yuanshao and Wei Yan.
As for the 50,000 people in that team, they were led by Ma Teng, but Cao De left Guo Jia to Ma Teng. First, Guo Jia can give Ma Teng advice, don't let Dong Zhuo and Zhu Jun stumble on Ma Teng. Second, Guo Jia's physique is a little weak, which is not suitable for Cao De's plan next.
And to assist Ma Teng and Zhang Fei, a tiger general, since Cao De dared to leave Zhang Fei behind, he must have left Guo Jia a way to make Zhang Fei obedient.
After the army crossed the Great Wall, it was the time for Cao De and Ma Teng to divide their armies.
"Anbang, if you can't do anything. An Bang must return to the army as soon as possible, and must not be rash. ”
"Brother, rest assured, I, Cao Anbang, know that one of my decisions will be related to the life and death of 20,000 brothers, and I will never be hasty. Take care, brother! ”
"Anbang take care!"
"Lord, you must come back safely, Jia is waiting for you in Wuwei."
"Don't worry, Bonghyo! If I don't come back within a year, you and Yuan Zhi will return to Hanzhong and do what I left behind. ”
Guo Jia pursed his lips, "No! ”
Cao De took 20,000 cavalry and parted ways with Ma Teng. Ma Teng and Guo Jia kept looking at Cao De's back until they disappeared.
Cao De rode a group of black high-headed horses, with a lot of pride in his heart, and in an instant, Cao De had a feeling that he could die at night.
Suddenly, Pei Yuanshao caught up, "Lord, where are we going?" ”
Cao De looked at the dusk sun and asked, "Do you know that the hussar general Huo Qu is sick?" ”
Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a moment and replied, "I know!" ”
Cao De gave Pei Yuanshao a look that he knew and asked, and then he accelerated his horse.
Pei Yuanshao muttered: "But the lord is General Anxi, what does it have to do with the hussar general Huo Quai!" ”
At this time, Wei Yan also caught up and said to Pei Yuanshao, who was still confused: "General Pei, your head is really white. The lord is going to do what the hussar general Huo Quaian did! ”
That's right, Cao De is going to do what Huo Qubing did, that is, to lead a small number of people, but to come and go without a trace to bring fear and pain to the Xianbei and Huns!
And now, the combined army of the Xianbei and the Huns is not far from Liangzhou. But they didn't know that the Han army had crossed the Great Wall and came to fight them on the grassland.
What's even more interesting is that the 20,000 cavalry led by Cao De happened to pass them.
Because Cao De needed to travel extremely fast, he did not send sentinels to the periphery. And the Xianbei people were careless, and the sentinels sent to ride were not far away. Therefore, Cao De and the 200,000 Xianbei and Xiongnu only passed by more than 40 miles.
Since Cao De almost ran into the Xianbei people who came to attack, the direction of Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng was also much worse than Cao De.
Well, from this point of view. It is unlikely that Xianbei and Zhu Jun will collide head-on. It seems that the first to welcome the baptism of the Xianbei people was Wuwei City guarded by Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan! (To be continued.) )
