Yang Xiao, who loves beef, is finally on the road, and Lu Bu has some expectations for this independent guy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hongnong Yang is the fourth generation and the fourth prince, the family has a rich heritage, and each generation has talents and heroes. Although Lu Bu had never heard of Yang Xiao's name, he knew Yang Xiao's cousin Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiao can see through at a glance that Lu Bu and Gai Xun are fake angry, and this sensitivity and wisdom are not much better than the words of his cousin Yang Xiu in history. In order to recruit Yang Xiao, Lu Bu did not hesitate to let people kill a ploughing cow to entertain him, and this courtesy was also very heavy.

It is said that Dong Zhuo liked to act chivalrous and righteous when he was young, and once went to the tribe of the Qiang people to play and befriended many Qiang leaders. Later, Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown to farm, and some Qiang leaders came to visit him, and Dong Zhuo killed the ploughing cattle to entertain guests. The leaders of the Qiang people were very moved, and felt that a generous Han person like Dong Zhuo was worth associating, and after returning home, they gathered thousands of various livestock and presented them to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's killing of the ploughing cattle made the leaders of the Qiang tribe so moved, and Lu Bu killed the ploughing cattle to entertain Yang Xiao, which should also have the effect of horse bones in Qianjin City, right?

Soon after Yang Xiao left, Lu Bu was about to summon the generals of all battalions to come to Lishi to participate in the new phase of military arithmetic study, but Hou Cheng rushed back with an anxious face.

Hou Cheng reported to Lü Bu that the old king of the Southern Xiongnu had summoned the leaders of various tribes to plot in Meiji, and asked Lü Bu to prepare for dealing with it before the cronies of the king of Lili in Yougu did not arrive at Lishi.

Half of Hou Cheng's news was specially given to him by the King of Yougu Li, and the other half was obtained by him by spending a lot of money to buy the Southern Huns.

The news that the king of Yougu Litou gave to Hou Cheng only said that the Southern Xiongnu tribes were afraid of the Tiance army and hoped to maintain a non-aggression relationship with the Tiance army. Hou Cheng secretly discovered that the Southern Huns were secretly forming an alliance with the Qianghu and Xianbei people, and Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu Chuquan even sent people to sneak into Hedong, wanting Yu Fuluo to take advantage of the road to Shangjun and return to Meijishan Yuting as soon as possible.

Lü Bu realized that the situation in the north might change significantly, and he invited Lu Zhi, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Rong and other important subordinates to come over and discuss countermeasures together.

After listening to Hou Cheng's report, Lu Zhi immediately suggested to Lu Bu: "Once the Southern Huns reach some kind of alliance with the Xianbei people, Wuyuan is in danger, and it is recommended that the general immediately lead all the cavalry to gallop to Wuyuan and take his family members to Lishi!" ”

Xu Rong added a suggestion: "When the Qianghu people retreated westward and the Southern Huns were on the sidelines, they could send envoys to Meijishan Yuting to appease the Southern Huns, and put forward a request to take advantage of Guangyan to avoid being intercepted by the Southern Xiongnu when the army went north." ”

Zhang Liao volunteered and asked to send an envoy to the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting to lay a good front station for Lu Bu to lead the army to Wuyuan to meet his family.

Seeing that his subordinates attached so much importance to the Lu family, Lu Bu felt very comforted. He agreed with Lu Zhi's analysis, and also believed that once the situation of confrontation between the Xianbei people and the Southern Xiongnu across the Yellow River was broken, the Han people near Jiuyuan, who were close to the Yellow River and were caught between the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu to survive, would definitely suffer.

The Xianbei people suffered a big loss outside Mayi City, and they would not be able to invade Yanmen County again for a while, but they would definitely not give up. The Han people in the Jiuyuan area are lonely north of the Yellow River, which is the best object for the Xianbei people to take revenge.

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "Since you want to take advantage of Guangyan, can you use a deterrent method to force the Southern Huns to back down?" If I let the Southern Huns find out the details of our side in advance, I am afraid that they will ask me for too many benefits! ”

Lu Zhi carefully calculated the cavalry that the Tiance Army could dispatch now, and then said: "The flying cavalry battalion has three thousand cavalry, the remaining four battalions have four thousand cavalry, and the 1,500 cavalry that are on mission outside can be dispatched at most five thousand this time. If you bring 500 armored cavalry with you, it should be enough to deter the Southern Huns and force them to get out of the way! ”

Gao Shun, who had never spoken, suggested: "After half a year of special training, everyone can ride a horse and walk quickly, and the general may wish to bring another thousand soldiers to increase his strength." In addition, the last time the Gao wolf ambushed the Qianghu people, a lot of cowhide rafts and urine bubbles were seized, which can also be brought with them to facilitate the transportation of goods, women and children when crossing the river. ”

500 armored cavalry, 1,000 trapped warriors, plus 4,500 elite cavalry, this is already a very terrifying rapid mobile combat force, and it should be enough to deter the 200,000 Southern Huns in the north.

Although the Southern Huns entrenched in the south of the Yellow River and north of Lishi have a total of more than 200,000 people, four-fifths of the population are no longer warriors, and the remaining one-fifth will be scattered into seven or eight large and small tribes.

Lü Bu no longer hesitated, and immediately gave orders to the battalions: Lu Zhi and Gao Shun were still in Lishi, Cao Xing guarded Gaowolf, Li Feng guarded Lin County, and Xu Huang continued to stay near Zhongyang to receive the displaced people, and Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Yue, five generals, followed Lü Bu to the north three days later and went to Wuyuan to rescue the Han people trapped there.

As soon as Admiral Tiance gave the order, the battalions immediately became busy, and all kinds of military supplies quickly converged in the direction of Gao Wolf.

Lü Bu appointed Hou Cheng and Song Xian as the left and right vanguards, each leading 500 cavalry to open the way, and Xu Rong and Zhang Liao as the left and right deputy generals, each leading 1,000 cavalry to cover the two flanks of the Chinese army.

The day before the army marched out, the cronies sent by the King of Yougu Li arrived in Lishi, and he sent a batch of gold and silver treasures to Lu Bu, and conveyed the intention of friendship with the Tiance army on behalf of the King of Yougu Li.

Lu Bu generously accepted the gold and silver treasures sent by the King of Yougu Li, and then told this cronie that in view of the fact that the Southern Huns were so warm and friendly, the Tiance Army could not express anything, so he decided to lead the army north tomorrow, bring a return gift to Guangyan, and have a "cordial and friendly" meeting with the King of Yougu Li!

The cronies sent by King Lili of Yougu were directly confused by Lu Bu's words, and he felt that he had not said anything wrong, how could he provoke Admiral Tiance to personally lead the army north?

Lu Bu didn't give this well-spoken Southern Xiongnu envoy more time to ponder, he directly took this envoy, and then led the army to set off from the north of Gaowolf City, quickly crossed the water, and marched at a speed of more than 100 miles a day.

The army led by Lu Bu himself, with 8,000 war horses and 2,000 pack horses, walked in the wilderness, and saw the dust rising to the sky from a distance, and the galloping of 10,000 horses up close, and the momentum was very terrifying.

Two days later, the army successfully arrived in Yuanyang.

The Qianghu people entrenched in the area of Yuanyang had withdrawn to the vicinity of Yuyanze a few days ago, and the remaining scattered Qianghu people had already hidden in the loess ravines before the Tiance army arrived in the city, and did not dare to show their heads at all.
