"If this battle is won, the northern part of the Han Dynasty can be stable for at least a hundred years!"

As soon as He Xian's words came out, everyone worshipped: "We are willing to follow the lord to defeat the Cao thief, drive out the Hu clan, and return my Han to peace!" ”

"Lord, in this battle, Jia application will go north with you!" Guo Jia was reluctant to stay behind and wanted to go to war with the army.

He Xian shook his head: "No!" I don't know how long this battle will last, and the wind in the north is not suitable for filial piety. Fengxiao is still better for the general to sit in Nanyang! ”

Guo Jia has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and when he was young, he took Wushi San to boost his spirits. Later, under the persuasion of Zhang Zhongjing, he avoided Wushisan and switched to traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, and the five birds played around, and his physical condition improved, but He Xian did not dare to take risks. If He Xian remembers correctly, Guo Jia in history died on the way to Wuhuan in the Northern Expedition.

Guo Jia was a little disappointed, but no longer objected. The reason why Guo Jia wants to go north with the army is just to fulfill a dream of a teenager: to seal the wolf and return home! But he also understands that sitting in Nanyang has a great responsibility, and its significance is no less than that of the Northern Expedition.

"Jia Xu is the general of the military division, Lu Su, and Pang Tong are the generals who join the army, go out with the army, and check and fill in the gaps. Chen Qun stayed in Nanyang to assist Guo Jia in handling government affairs and guarding Nanyang! ”

In terms of generals, Zhao Yun "returned from injury" and continued to lead the commander of the guard. During the injury, Zhao Yun was happy to have a son and named him Zhao Tong. Zhao Yun, who doesn't like to play, almost stays at home, stays in the mansion every day to accompany his son, if it is not for the expedition, many people can't remember this Guangwei general. Zhao Yun said frankly that this battle will be her last. After this battle, she will unload her armor and return to the field, and she will no longer use her sword. Her opinion was supported by Ho Xian.

Pingnan General Zhang Liao, Nanzhong Lang General Tai Shici led all the flying cavalry army of 30,000 to go on the expedition! In the northern expedition to the Hu tribe, the cavalry will become the absolute main combat force, and the number of 30,000 flying cavalry is still relatively small.

Everyone was talking, He Qiang came to report, General Fenwu and Wenhou Lu Bu came to visit.

After Lu Bu returned to He Xian, he handed over his military power and retired in Wancheng. If life is too comfortable, it loses its meaning. Lu Bu sighed for a long time, recalling the majesty of the past when he rode his horse and whipped, and sighed that now he can only get drunk to death every day. coincided with Chen Gong's visit, and he talked to Lu Bu about the current situation in the north. According to Chen Gong's analysis, the Nanyang Army marched north and was ready to go. When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately came by horse, and those who asked for it set out together to fight!

In May of the fourth year of Jian'an (199 AD), the general He Xian swore in Wancheng to march north. Traveling together, in addition to the 30,000 flying cavalry troops, there are also 10,000 flying bear troops, and the leader of the troops, Fenwu General Lu Bu!

……

"Father, are we really going to join forces with the Hu clan?" Jixian Prefecture Governor's Mansion, Cao Cao's study, spies from the south sent an urgent report, the Nanyang army marched north, stationed troops in Jizhou, the purpose is self-evident.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang: "Why does Huang Xu'er ask this question?" ”

Cao Zhangdao: "The Hu people took advantage of the danger of the people, saying that they were assisting our army, but in fact they were ambitious and tried to replace them. Even if our army can defeat the Nanyang army, the Hu people will not obediently stop at the land of Youzhou! ”

"My son has grown!" Cao Cao said with a relieved face, "The heart of the Hu clan, how can you not know it as a father?" ”

"Then why did my father agree to the conditions of the Hu clan and join forces with the Hu clan?"

"My son thinks that in the current situation of our army, is there a second way to go besides agreeing?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment and thought about the current situation. On the south side of Jizhou, the Nanyang army gathered. Trapped camps, floating chacha army, flying cavalry army, Danyang strong pawns, all of them are the elite of the Nanyang Army Group. On the north side, the Huchu Spring, Liu Bao of the Huns and the Budugen and Kebi of Xianbei came together, clearly uneasy and kind. On the east side of Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan of Liaodong is eyeing the tiger; On the west side of Youzhou, Gao Gan and Yuan Shang's attitude is unknown. Although Youzhou extends in all directions, there is no room for Cao Jun's maneuver and depth now. As Cao Cao said, apart from promising the Hu clan to join forces against the most powerful Nanyang army on the south side, is there any other path for the Cao army to choose?

"But...... The child knows that his father doesn't like the Hu people! ”

"In the face of the general trend of the world, there is no like and dislike, only interests. The Hu people want to invade the fertile land of our Han people, why don't our Han people covet the fertile grassland of the Hu people's horses? Playing conspiracy and trickery, my Han people are the ancestors, those Hu people, when the grandchildren are too young, do you think they can calculate as a father, and calculate the general He Xian? ”

When the father said this, the child was relieved! No matter what happens, the child always believes that his father is the best person in the world! ”

Cao Cao smiled and touched Cao Cao's head: "Spend more time with your mother these days, spend more time with your wife and children, fight together, I don't know when we will rest!" ”

"The child obeys his father's instruction." Cao Zhang said and exited Cao Cao's study.

Cao Cao faced the map of Youzhou and pondered for a long time.

……

"How? Hu Chuquan Shan Yu, my Budugen King didn't deceive you, right? The once invincible Han has now fallen. In the face of the army of you and me, they only gathered more than 100,000 soldiers, of which more than 100,000 were foot soldiers, and the cavalry army was only 30,000 or 40,000! We have won this battle! ”

In the Xianbei camp, Bu Dugen and Kebi can lead a group of leaders to slaughter cattle and sheep, and are feasting the Huns Shan Yu Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian.

Hu Chuquan was biting this roast leg of lamb, and when he heard Bu Dugen's words, he laughed and said, "King Xianbei is right!" How strong the former Han was, it torn our clan apart, and he didn't dare to herd the horses and the Han side. Now it's so weak! If it weren't for the king's reminder, our clan would not know the depth of the Han Dynasty, and would be stupid to live in the grassland next to the wind! ”

"Well said! In the future, you and I will divide the Han Youzhou and Jizhou, and have a large area of land to cultivate food, and a large number of Han slaves, so that the clansmen will no longer have to worry about starvation! Budugen picked up the bowl and laughed.

"For the future of the people!

"For the land and slaves of the Han Chinese!"

"Cheers! Cheers! ”

Budugen and Hu Chuquan drank heartily, and they drank so well.

Seeing that Bu Dugen and Hu Chuquan were very contemptuous of the Han army, Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, couldn't help but remind: "Two kings, I heard that the foot soldiers of the Han army have invented an extremely powerful weapon that can restrain the cavalry of our clan from rushing and killing!" ”

Liu Bao once went to Luoyang to meet the Han Emperor to ask for the title of Xiongnu Shan Yu, when the Central Plains was in turmoil, the Han Emperor was coerced by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, and the Kwantung coalition army was attacking Dong Zhuo with great momentum. Liu Bao was in Yuan Shao's army at that time, and he saw the battle of Nanyang infantry against Xiliang Iron Cavalry in front of Tiger Prison Pass! In that battle, Nanyang's heavy step sword and slashing people and horses left a very deep impact on Liu Bao, and it is still difficult to forget.
