Chapter 186: The Northwest War Begins

It took a lot of effort and almost froze to death a few soldiers, and Zhang Liao was able to solve the imminent problem of food and grass. But this is also temporary. The logistical grain and grass escort has not arrived, and 10,000 troops are stationed in this wilderness, and there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back.

Zhang Liao sent people back to urge food, and at the same time racked his brains to plan for the army to eat, drink and Lazar.

The elite army of hunting and fishing is now all hunters.

When Zhang Liao had a headache for this, the guilds and newspapers in Yuyang, Youzhou were also in full swing.

At this time, Yan Liang's Far North Pioneer Brigade did not encounter any danger, and it was calm all the way, going up nearly 1,000 kilometers from Buyeo, but it was also because the logistics grain and grass escort route was too long, so it did not dare to move forward and was stationed.

So what about the Hexi region at this time?

Dragon City. This ancient city with a history of 300 years, its mottled city walls, witnessed the glory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu.

In the city, Xu Huang received Yuyang's military order, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be furious.

The Huns were only humble, and they dared to send someone to assassinate Liu Yuan, but they were bold!

Xu Huang has followed Liu Yuan for ten years, and for him, Liu Yuan is heaven and faith! Now someone dares to touch the faith in his heart, how can it be?! So Xu Huang contacted Huang Chang on the one hand to formulate a war strategy together, and on the other hand, he integrated the army and prepared to do a big job to repay the hatred in his heart!

Half a month later, Lu Bu arrived in Dragon City.

"Haha, General Lu, you're here just in time!" Xu Huang laughed and brought the puzzled Lu Bu into the room, and explained with a smile: "General Ben and General Huang of the Bingzhou Army jointly formulated tactics to fight the Xiongnu, but they are short of a vanguard!" ”

What a good thing! When Lu Bu heard this, he was overjoyed, and regardless of the specific situation, he hurriedly said: "Lu took this matter!" ”

Just attached to Liu Yuan, he Lu Bu needs to use his combat skills to wash away the flaws on his body. How can you not eat the meat that is brought to your mouth now? As for why he wanted to attack the Xiongnu, Lu Bu knew in his heart that he also knew about Liu Yuan's assassination.

"Sit!" Xu Huang smiled with a smile on his face, pondered for a moment and said: "The Northern Xiongnu and the remnants of Xianbei colluded with some ill-intentioned things in the Central Plains to assassinate the lord, presumably General Lu also knows. The lord is our lord, the so-called lord humiliates the minister, if we can't avenge this great revenge, how can we see the lord again? ”

Lu Bu thought so.

Therefore, when General Ben received the order from the military division, he contacted General Huang of Bingzhou and worked out tactics together. A total of 150,000 troops are ready to destroy the Huns in a war! General Lu has rich experience in riding and archery, and his martial arts are strong, so he is the best candidate for the vanguard! ”

Xu Huang said with a smile.

Lu Bu grinned, quite proud. Since he joined the army, he has been leading the cavalry, and in the Jiuyuan generation of Yanmen, the Xianbei killed was frightened. When it comes to riding and archery experience, he asks himself that there are really not many people in the world who can compare to him.

However, today's Lu Bu is no longer the arrogant and arrogant Lu Fengxian he used to be. After Liu Yuan's training several times, he also understood the truth that there are people outside this person. Therefore, Lu Bu's surname has converged a lot, and now it seems that it is much more pleasing to the eye.

Xu Huang looked at Lu Bu, who was sitting majestically in front of him, with a rigorous face, and then remembered the unruly guy on the martial arts field when he was performing martial arts in Youzhou a few years ago, and he just sighed in his heart that the lord had a good hand.

"Ming said that the army is about to be pulled, General Lu has just arrived in the surrendered city, and he still needs to be familiar with the vanguard army, so General Ben will not leave you here to eat." Xu Huang drank outside the door: "Someone is coming, pass on the wolf tooth general Cheng Pu!" ”

After a while, Cheng Pu, who was dressed in iron armor, walked in with the sound of gold and iron.

"General!"

Cheng Pubai said.

"General Cheng, you should recognize this!" Xu Huang pointed at Lu Bu and smiled at Cheng Pu.

"General Lu?" Cheng Pu pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered. Didn't this person leave quietly after the martial arts exercise, what?

"Yes, it's General Lu Bulu." Xu Huang nodded and said, "When General Lu left, it was because of the lord's secret decree, so you don't have to doubt. ”

Cheng Pu's face was stunned when he heard this. And Lu Bu looked at Xu Huang, and he was more grateful. After all, it can be regarded as a defection, but he was whitewashed by Xu Huang, leaving him a lot of affection. But Xu Huang's idea is that if Lu Bu's reputation is too bad, it may be difficult to convince the public, which will affect the war, it is better to help him whitewash, first, to disintegrate hidden dangers, and second, to sell love, why not do it? !

"General Cheng, General Lu has just arrived, and you should lead him to receive the soldiers and horses of the headquarters."

"Whoa!"

Cheng Pu arched his hand to Lu Bu: "General Lu, please." ”

Lu Bu also returned the salute, then bowed to Xu Huang, and then walked out of the hall with Cheng Pu.

Speaking of which, Cheng Pu has a very bad impression of Lu Bu, and the source is still when he is performing martial arts, and Lu Bu is too blind. And now that I learned that Lu Bu quietly left to do something for the lord, and secondly, I saw that the lines on Lu Bu's face were much softer, so I didn't care so much. So the two talked along the way and arrived at the barracks.

Lu Bu followed behind Cheng Pu, looking at the huge military camp, and a sense of apprehension rose in his heart.

For the Youzhou Army, he is a newcomer. It has always been the most normal thing for newcomers to be suppressed. So although he was appointed as the deputy commander of the corps, he was also afraid that the army handed over to him by Xu Huang would be second-rate.

Lu Bu followed Cheng Pu all the way through several huge school fields, and saw that there was an army in each school field that was nervously practicing under the leadership of the generals, and an extremely strong killing aura rushed into the sky, making Lu Bu's calm heart lake gradually ripple.

"General Lu, look!"

Cheng Pu had already noticed the change in Lu Bu's face, smiled slightly, pointed to a strange soldier in the huge school field in front of him, and said, "That's the general's direct army!" ”

"Cavalry!" Lu Bu looked at the cavalry that was training under the leadership of the deputy general, and the advance and retreat were like one body, and the joy in his heart couldn't help but come to his face anymore: "Elite!" ”

"Naturally, it's the elite."

Cheng Pu said with a smile: "In my Youzhou army, the strongest and most effective army is the heavy cavalry, which is led by General Xu himself. And this light cavalry is an elite force second only to the heavy cavalry! ”

In fact, among every legion under the command of Youzhou, the most effective one is the heavy armor Mo knife team. But after all, there are not many people, and they can only be used to play the role of sharp knives and turn things around at critical moments, and they basically do not appear in ordinary times. So Cheng Pu didn't say anything.

Not to mention how Lu Buhuan trained after taking over the army, but said the Huns.

The Xiongnu were very powerful in the pre-Qin period and dominated the grasslands.

In the Qin period, there was a grand prize Meng Tian, who chased the Xiongnu three thousand miles to the north, so that he did not dare to go south for 30 years. Later, Qin was extinguished. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, fought with the Xiongnu and was besieged by Baideng, and the Han was in a weak position. When Emperor Wu arrived, there were the great general Wei Qing, the champion Hou Huo Quai, and the flying general Li Guang, who chased the Huns to the north, broke the royal court, built the Dragon City, and sealed the wolf Juxu!

Since then, the Xiongnu royal court, which dominated the grassland, has been shattered and its power has been greatly damaged. In 48 years, the Xiongnu were divided into two, the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty and was placed in the Hetao by Emperor Guangwu, and the Northern Xiongnu moved west to the Western Regions, adjacent to Wusun and Hujie.

The royal city of the Huns.

The King of the Huns looked at the first warrior of the Huns who had lost his soul and was like a lost dog, and couldn't help frowning deeply. Needless to say, the plan must have failed. And it was a terrible defeat.

"Stand up!" The king of the Huns drank sharply, and Urhan was so frightened that he quickly stood up.

"Say!"

The Hun King listened to Urhan's intermittent words, and his face became more and more gloomy. How can there be such a character in this world?!

"He's a god! King! It's a god! We are not opponents at all! More than a thousand top masters, half of them were easily killed by him alone! His army is also very strong, my lord, send someone to sue for peace, or he will come to him!" ”

Urhan shouted.

"Shut up!"

The left and right virtuous kings and the Xiongnu ministers all got up and glared angrily.

"King, Urhan has lost the face of my Great Huns, and in vain he is the first warrior of my Great Huns, please give the king death!"

King Zuoxian of the Huns shouted angrily.

"King, although my Great Huns are not stronger than two hundred years ago, but they are not a prince of the Han Dynasty who can be bullied, please order the king, Muri Khan will lead the army, take others to steal, and sacrifice it to the king!"

The generals under the account of the king of the Huns all shouted, shouting one by one to give Liu Yuan a good look.

The originally gloomy face of the King of the Huns turned iron-blue.

"Shut up! Still not messy enough!? ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the king's tent.

The Xiongnu were indeed very powerful, but at that time they were old from a hundred years ago! After several generations of emperors of the Han Dynasty suppressed it, it became weaker and weaker in the competition for the grassland with the Western Regions, Jiankun, and Ding Ling. Today's Xiongnu have a total population of only a few hundred thousand, and no more than 100,000 people with armor.

If it weren't for the tentacles of the Youzhou army stretching across the West Sea, if it weren't for the purging of the people of the Central Plains, if it weren't for the self-confidence of those people, if it weren't for the deep enmity between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, the king of the Xiongnu would definitely not risk exterminating the clan and agree to unite with them to kill Liu Yuan!

Now that he has failed, he is depressed and anxious, and these straw bales under his command are still shouting to fight back! What a joke! Didn't you see that such a powerful Xianbei was crippled by Liu Yuan? With the Huns, it's not sent to death!?

King Huyan looked at these straw bales, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Taking a deep breath, King Huyan calmed his mind and drank, "Urhan, go down." ”

"The King"

"Go down!"

Urhan turned, hunched his back, and slowly walked out of the king's tent. The bleak back does not look like the majesty of the first warrior of the Huns, but like a dying old man.

"Come on, go and invite Xianbei Kebineng."

In 185, Xianbei was broken by Youzhou, and the great Khan of Xianbei in the west escaped his life in the hands of Xu Huang, led the remnants of the Xianbei army to flee to the west, and finally because of the enmity between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, he attached himself to the Huyan King of the Xiongnu in order to make a comeback.

Some time ago, a person from the Central Plains found Kebineng and asked him to introduce the king of the Huns, intending to unite and kill Liu Yuan. Kebineng thought to himself, anyway, Xianbei is already weakened, it is better to take a risk, if he succeeds, he will have the opportunity to regain the northern Xinjiang grassland and rebuild the Xianbei royal court!

These days, he's been in a state of apprehension, he's waiting.

"Great Khan, the king of the Huns sent someone to invite the Great Khan to the banquet."

The voice of a waiter came from outside the door.

Kebi was stunned when he heard this: The King of the Huns will never look for himself if he has nothing to do, it seems that the assassination of Liu Yuan has a result!

Kebineng immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, pushed the door and walked out.
