The news of Xianbei's invasion was not obtained by the scouts of Wuyuan County, but came from General Duliao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

General Du Liao was set up to maintain the stability of the northern frontier of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was an important structure for maintaining the border defense of the northern part of the Eastern Han Dynasty (including the northeast and northwest) and handling the affairs of the northern ethnic groups.

When Su Chen arrived at the county guard's mansion, he saw his father and Gao Shun's sad faces, and there were also Cai Yong, Guo Wen and the officials of the county guard's mansion.

Although he is now the lieutenant of Jiuyuan County, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate in the senate at this level, but everyone knows that Su Chen is the only son of Su Changshi, and he is deeply valued by the king.

He quietly walked up to Su Yu and asked softly, "Father, why are you all sad?" ”

Su Wei was about to answer, but Gao Shun took the lead and said: "Xingyu, General Duliao has sent information that in order to avenge Helian, Tanshi Huai has done his best to avenge Helian, with a total of 500,000 troops in the border, and the 300,000 troops of Xianbei in the middle of its main force have come to Wuyuan Yunzhong. ”

"Oh? Half a million troops? Hearing that 500,000 troops had invaded the territory, Su Chen was also taken aback, so far, the biggest scene he had ever seen was the tens of thousands of troops in Helian last time, which had already shocked him very much, thinking of the original battle situation, he still had palpitations in his heart.

However, he was not a subordinate Ameng, although he was shocked, he still asked, "Does General Duliao have any arrangements?" ”

At this time, Su Wei interjected: "General Duliao has reported this matter to the imperial court quickly, and at present, we only let our county soldiers strengthen the city defense, and we will not be able to defend it, waiting for the army to come to help." ”

"Hmm." This is indeed a more pertinent approach, and then he asked about the military deployment of both sides, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

There were about 50,000 regular soldiers in Wuyuan, including 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, which belonged to the five commanders and other county soldiers.

General Duliao has 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, a total of 80,000 troops, plus the county soldiers of Wuyuan County, that is, 130,000, compared with the other party's 300,000 army, it is not enough half, and there is almost no capital for confrontation.

Yunzhong County has less than 30,000 soldiers at most, because Yunzhong is more likely to be harassed by foreign races than Wuyuan, so the population is not large, so naturally it can't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses.

Su Chen remembered a place and proposed: "Gao Envoy Jun, why don't we ask for help from the Hun Zhonglang General, Tanshi Huai wants to avenge Helian, in the end, this matter is not unrelated to Dong Zhonglang, Dong Gong is a Zhonglang general, and there are Huns under his jurisdiction in addition to the Han army, if Dong Gong is willing to send troops, then we have an extra chance of winning." ”

"Xingyu has a point." Gao Shun thought about it, although the imperial court has a large army, it can't quench its thirst from far away, and at this time, it is still a mystery whether the imperial court is willing to send troops, so in order to seek stability, asking Dong Zhuo for help is a clever move.

At that time, Gao Shun sent five heralds to Shan Yuting to report the news, but fortunately, Jiuyuan was not far from here, and the horse could arrive in two days.

The discussion has been decided, he returned to the Su Mansion, and set up a banquet in the mansion that night for the Guan Yu and Zhang Liao brothers to catch the wind, although the war is approaching, Gao Shun still came to the Su Mansion, after all, although he is too guarded in the public, he prides himself on being the general of the Su family in private.

It was also at this time that Guan Yu understood what his confidence was, but he didn't expect Taishou to be the general of the Su family, but Su Yu, the head of the family, was still a head lowered, this kind of relationship really made Guan Yu dumbfounded.

Of course, if Guan Yu knew how Gao Shun got this Taishou, then he wouldn't be surprised, if it wasn't for the operation of the Su family, how could Gao Shun be promoted to the county guard, the reason why Gao Shun was placed in the front desk was to not attract attention, and secondly, there were deeper considerations.

Gao Shun is different from the rest of the six strong generals, he is a person who can take charge of himself, in Su Chen's vision, Gao Shun uses the resources of the Su family to climb up in order to grasp greater power, and the Su family also develops itself, once something happens, the two sides echo each other from afar, but this is much safer than putting eggs in one basket.

In the future, even if someone wants to deal with the Su family, they will only think that Gao Shun just has a good relationship with the Su family, and will never think that he is a member of the Su family.

Su Chen knows the general trend of historical development, even if this is the case, it does not mean that he can have foresight, so it is necessary to set up an insurance for himself, Gao Shun's appearance is in line with such conditions, loyal and capable, these two points are especially important.

After the banquet dispersed, Gao Shun went to arrange the military strategy, Su Wei was no exception, only he and the six strong generals were left in the mansion, he gathered the six strong generals, Guan Yu, and the Zhang brothers together, and began to discuss how to deal with it.

Cao Xing had been following him for the longest time, and he was more able to ponder his thoughts, and when he saw that he had gathered everyone together alone, his heart moved, and he asked, "Lord, do you have any ideas?" ”

When the rest of the people heard this, Qi Qi looked at Su Chen, he knew that these were old brothers, and he knew his habits well, so he didn't hide them, and said: "Brothers, do you still remember when I fought with Helian, I was captured because of greed for merit?" ”

"Toothless and unforgettable!" It was Wei Xu who answered, and only listened to him say: "The lord was captured in the past, all because our strength was low and I couldn't protect the safety of the lord, and I continued to practice martial arts day and night, just to be ashamed of the lord one day." ”

"I know what you want." In fact, not only Wei Xu, but the rest of the people also had a breath of anger in their hearts.

Who are they?

I thought that they were all heroes and heroes of Wuyuan County at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in the first battle, half of the brothers who were brought out left their lives on the battlefield completely, which has always been a knot in their hearts.

Today, Su Chen's old story was brought up again, and they finally saw the dawn of revenge.

He swept his eyes over everyone and said, "At the beginning, I had no experience in the world, and I regarded the war as a child's play, and I had a great responsibility for the death of my brothers. ”

"The lord has to blame himself, everything is because our strength is too low." After Wei Xu said this, his face turned crimson.

In fact, now the strength of the six generals is all in the marrow washing period, and they have improved a lot, after all, they are not very old, and the eldest Wei Xu is only twenty-five years old, let alone the rest.

Although Su Chen was the youngest among them, he was the one with the highest cultivation, and he was the only one who broke through the Qi Cultivation Mirror.

If it weren't for Guan Yu's appearance, he would never have walked the same path again, but Guan Yu's appearance made him see the dawn, and the idea in his heart was about to move.

"Okay, we don't have to mention whose responsibility we have, we gathered everyone tonight because I haven't forgotten the oath I made to my brothers, "Horses step on the Khan Mountain, and capture the sandalwood locust alive", everyone, do you dare to fight? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Not bad!" He nodded firmly, and said: "Although we can't capture Tanshi Huai alive, but we can step on the sweat mountain, the Xianbei army is pouring into the nest to attack, presumably their royal court guards are very empty, so I am ready to take a risk, it is, we are the heroes of the Han Dynasty, the wolf is the hero, don't worry, do you dare to fight?" ”

"Obey the Lord's command!" The six of them bowed down in unison, their loyalty could not be questioned, and even if they were allowed to die, there would be no problem in the slightest.

It's just that Guan Yu frowned, as if he felt that this trip was too risky.

Su Chen always paid attention to his performance, saw that his brows were furrowed, and immediately asked, "Brother Yun Chang, I don't know what you think?" ”

Guan Yu didn't see it, and said directly: "Xingyu, your idea is too bold, even if the Xianbei army pours out, as a royal court, its guard strength is not to be underestimated, this is one of them." ”

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Guan Yu talked eloquently and continued: "Second, we don't know where the Royal Court of Danhan Mountain is, it is too difficult to find the Xianbei Royal Court in the vast grassland, maybe we have died on the way to the long march before we can find the Royal Court. ”

Su Chen frowned when he heard this, but he had to admit that Guan Yu was right, so he motioned for him to continue.

"Third, how many soldiers and horses should we bring? Less, not enough to deal with the royal court guards, more, the long-distance march is very difficult, we may not find the royal court, the war here is over, have you considered this problem? ”

Guan Yu became more and more energetic, and continued: "Finally, we need an elite cavalry, and it must be an army that cooperates very tacitly, only when these four points are satisfied, the raid on the Xianbei Royal Court can be successful." ”

Guan Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished everyone's newly ignited fighting spirit, but it was undeniable that what he said was very reasonable, and it was impossible for the raid to succeed without solving these problems.

Su Chen thought for a while, and answered the last question first: "Brother Yun, regarding the cavalry you mentioned at the end, my initial idea is to lead five hundred wolf cavalry and eight hundred trapping camps, one person and two horses, and go straight to Danhan Mountain. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid that he didn't know about these two armies, Su Chen briefly talked about the composition of the wolf cavalry and the situation of trapping the camp, and when he heard him talk about the art of trapping the camp, Guan Yu's eyes also lit up, obviously he recognized these two armies.

"As for the grain and grass baggage that Senior Brother Yun said, my idea is to eat the enemy, the whole army only brings the necessary water and five days of dry food, all the way to cover the past, destroy the small tribes when they meet, and go around when they meet the big tribes, so that we can solve our grain and grass baggage in order to be convenient, on the other hand, it is also to feed the war with war and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, which is the best of both worlds."

"As for the last question, I think we need a guide, which I didn't think I had." Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, "A guide who is well versed in the relations between the northern nomads is very important to us, such a person is worth half of our army. ”

Guan Yu saw that his analysis was methodical, and he also agreed with this method, and when he talked about the guide, he suddenly remembered a person, if there was this person to help, then the matter would be half the success.

"I do know one such person, he is proficient in the languages of Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan, and he is even more precious about the intricate relationship between the northern nomads, but I don't know if this person is willing to help."

"Oh? I don't know who Senior Brother Yun is talking about? Su Chen didn't expect that there was really such a talent, and said excitedly: "As long as this person is willing to come, no matter what the price is, we will invite him here." ”

"His name is Tian Heng!" After Guan Yu finished speaking, his eyes looked to the east.
