Chapter 143: Northland Wolf Smoke

Cao Cao killed Liu Che and accepted Liu Che's beautiful wife Wei Zifu and Xiapi Cheng together. www.biquge.info Wang Renze and Zhu Di saw that Cao Cao had already taken Xiapi, and knew that fighting for Xiapi with Cao Cao with their own strength was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, so they each retreated and stuck to the territory they had originally captured.

Although Wang Renze and Zhu Di were defeated, they only hurt their muscles and bones, and they did not suffer a big injury. In addition, there were 50,000 elite soldiers in Langya County and Le Yi, and Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly, so he left his brothers Cao Ren and Cao Shen to sit in Xiapi, and personally led an army of 70,000 to return to Yanzhou to meet Yuan Shao.

Gao Chang learned that the overall situation of Xuzhou had been decided, and Cao Cao had led the main force back to Yanzhou, so he did not stay, appointed Fang Xuanling as the assassin of Qingzhou, and promoted Xiao He Qing, the governor of Qi County, who had performed well in the recent resettlement of displaced people and stabilizing order, to assist Fang Xuanling in governing Qingzhou.

Gao Chang also appointed Li Jing as the governor of Qingzhou, leaving Luo Shixin, Lu Junyi, Meng Yi, Zong Ze, Tai Shici, Luo Tong, Yu Hualong, Meng Yi and other generals and 100,000 troops to assist Li Jing in defending Qingzhou and deterring the Central Plains. He also ordered Xu Huang to be the Taishou of Langya, and stationed Langya County for the Hui Leyi Corps as a bridgehead for the Central Plains.

After handling the affairs of Qingzhou, Gao Chang led the army to return to Jizhou in a hurry. It's not because Gao Chang is in a hurry, but because something big has happened in the state.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The grassland in February is already full of life, the pasture grows very vigorously, but there is not a single herdsman to be seen on the boundless grassland, this is because the herdsmen on the border are frightened, since the beginning of January, there have been a small group of cavalry of the Rouran Department secretly crossing the border, wantonly burning and looting, to this day, more than 2,000 herdsmen have unfortunately died under the iron hooves of the Rouran cavalry.

Generally speaking, the harassment of the border by a small group of cavalry was a signal for the Hulu army to move south, and Wang Meng, the governor of the prefecture, and Yue Fei, the governor of the prefecture, immediately issued an emergency war readiness situation, blocked the border, strictly forbade the herdsmen in the city to go out of the city to graze, and flew pigeons to pass on the book to the lord Gao Chang.

As Yue Fei Wang Meng expected, the Rouran Han Temujin established himself as the king of Yuan two months ago, changed the city of Niyang where the king's tent was located to Shengjing, imitated the Han system, changed the rule to Ningzhou, took Shengjing as the political center, and established the eldest son Wokotai as the prince of the king, and the second son Tolei as the king of Dingyuan, leading the post of general.

He also named Yelu Chucai as Shangshu Ling, Yelu Dashi as the squire, Limu Huali, Er Zhurong, Yelu Xianzhen and Wanyan Zongbi who defected from Karasuma as the four generals, and the rest such as Jebe, Subutai, Wuyanguang, Mountain Lion Camel and others were also awarded the post of generals.

Temujin set himself up as the king, and urgently needed a big victory as the capital of his own king, but he had been at war with Tiele Li Yuan for many years, and he had not taken much advantage, and knew that if he took Li Yuan's prestige, he would even lose his original prestige, and at this time, the news of Li Shimin's attack on Liangzhou reached his ears, and he also set his eyes on the vast but war-torn Han Dynasty.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Changping Fort in Yanmen County, which is a beacon tower closest to the grassland in Bingzhou, is stationed with 50 soldiers as a bridgehead to detect the enemy.

Early that morning, the sentries were patrolling the beacon tower as usual, but suddenly they heard a strange noise, like the muffled thunder before a storm.

"Not good!"

The team led by him suddenly reacted and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "This is a large force of cavalry killing, go and light the beacon fire, and withdraw after the light!" ”

Before the team's words fell, he saw a black line suddenly appear on the field in the north, more than ten miles long, like an unstoppable torrent rushing towards this side!

Several sentries did not dare to stop, hurriedly climbed to the top of the beacon tower, lit the torches, immediately jumped off the beacon tower, and galloped towards the direction of Yanmen Pass on fast horses.

Three beacon fires were blazing, thick smoke was billowing out, and soon the next beacon tower also rose billowing wolf smoke, and the wolf smoke spread farther and farther, and soon reached Yanmen Pass.

Soon, the boundless Rouran army entered Changping Fort, and the black-pressed Rouran cavalry was like a black ocean, as far as the eye could see, with at least more than 200,000 troops.

Before the army, a man rode a horse, more than eight feet tall, holding a scimitar, wearing a golden helmet, a fierce and rough face, a high nose and deep eyes, and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Temujin stood on his horse, staring into the distance, and after a long time, he said, "Great rivers and mountains! It's a pity that I can't meet the hero! ”

Yelu Dashi on the side said complimentally: "The king went south to the Central Plains, didn't this great river and mountain meet the British lord?" ”

When Temujin heard this, he immediately laughed, and then shouted again: "All the soldiers listen to the order and attack Yanmen Pass!" The first person to enter the city rewarded ten Han women and 100 slaves. ”

"Break through the Yanmen Pass! Break through the Yanmen Pass! ”

The Rouran army boiled instantly, and more than 200,000 people raised their arms and shouted together, and the shouts resounded throughout the grassland, and in the midst of cheers, Temujin pulled out his sword and ordered in a loud voice: "Kill!" ”

More than 200,000 army horses galloped, like a black tide sweeping the grassland, roaring towards Yanmen Pass.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Yanmen Pass, Shuaifu.

At this time, the master of Yanmen Pass was no longer Su Lie, but Yue Fei, who went north from Taiyuan on the starry night.

Since a small force of cavalry harassed the border on a large scale, Wang Meng and Yue Fei judged that Temujin would definitely move south in a short time, and immediately mobilized most of the troops and horses in Bingzhou to go north to Yanmen. At this moment, except for Qin Qiong who led 30,000 troops to garrison Shangdang to guard against Guanzhong, almost all the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed to Yanmen Pass, and only more than 10,000 county soldiers led by Wang Meng were maintaining law and order in Bingzhou.

"Report, Qiyu Governor, Temujin led the main force of Rouran to be stationed on the front line of Anling, and its front vanguard Wu Yanguang has already passed Linwo, and it is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Yanmen Pass, and it is expected to arrive at Yanmen Pass tomorrow!"

Yue Fei sat in a handsome position, stroked his long beard with his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there in Wu Yanguang's department?" ”

"Governor Yudu, there are about 40,000 horses in Wu Yanguang's department, and all of them are cavalry!"

Chen Ping, the military advisor sitting on the side, asked tentatively: "Could it be that the governor wants to make some ideas on this Wuyan Guang and give Temujin a dismount!" ”

Yue Fei smiled, "Yes, Hu Lu relies on himself to be a cavalryman, coming and going like the wind, and he has never taken us and other Han people in his eyes, today I will use his 40,000 forwards to sacrifice the flag!" ”

"Don't do it!" Wei Yunqi, who joined the army, hurriedly admonished, "Yue Dudu, although our army has 120,000 people, but the cavalry is only more than 60,000, and although Hu Lu only has 40,000, all of them are elite cavalry. ”

"Who said infantry can't beat cavalry!"

Before Wei Yunqi finished speaking, he saw a military general striding out, and arched his hand and said: "Dudu, the last general is not talented, I am willing to lead the strong men under his command to ascend to the camp as the vanguard of the army, and kill the majesty of Hu Lu!" ”
