Ma Chao smiled slightly, got up and clapped his hands, and shouted softly: "Come on, take a pair of our military harness and show it to the king!"

Outside, a pair of high-bridge saddles with stirrups had already been prepared and sent in, and Brother Pony pointed with his finger: "Has the king ever observed this?" ”

Xu Bugu had traveled more than fifty miles with the Shenwei Battalion, so he naturally noticed the difference in the Han army's horse harnesses, frowned and asked, "Xiao Wang has also paid attention to it, is there anything strange in this?" ”

Ma Chao said: "That's right, if my Xiliang Army didn't break the Huns repeatedly because of this thing?" Listen to me! Then Brother Pony explained the role of Takahashi's saddle and stirrup.

Su Bu bone almost grew up on horseback since childhood, through Ma Chao's explanation, immediately understood the wonderful use of the saddle pedal, the whole person was stunned in surprise, followed by the excitement, called the Huns not wronged, both ashamed and regretful, the mood is complicated, and the expression is also rich.

Looking at Brother Xiaoma's smiling expression again, Xu Bugu immediately understood Ma Chao's sinister intentions in his heart, but he had no choice, if he dared not to agree, I am afraid that not only his own life would be difficult to protect, but most of the 10,000 soldiers in the royal court would also die, and even if the Xiongnu were not destroyed by the Han army, they would be annexed by Xianbei and Wuheng in the future.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Bugu sighed: "The general is really a god! This matter is a win-win situation, Xiao Wang dares to disobey his fate! If my Hun elite cavalry can learn the unparalleled cavalry and archery skills of the Han army, with the courage and skill of my Huns and the exquisite tactics of the general, I will definitely be able to turn Xianbei and Wuheng upside down, so that their vitality will be greatly damaged, and they will no longer be able to threaten our Huns and the Han. ”

Brother Xiao Ma said with a smile: "This is also the intention, the king is really a cheerful person, but there is still a trouble to solve before this, otherwise the king's single position will not be stable, and our cooperation will naturally not be pleasant." ”

Su Bugu was not stupid, and after a little hesitation, he frowned and said, "Is what the general said about Yu Fuluo?" ”

"Yes, it is Yu Fuluo who sent troops to Youzhou, if this person knows that the rebels have been pacified, he will return quickly, with his identity as the eldest son of Qiangqu, King Youxian, I am afraid that the king will not give way!" Ma Chao said that he hit the sore spot of the bone.

"This" Xu Bugu naturally knew very well in his heart, his position of Shan Yu was picked up cheaply, and he never thought that he could become a Xiongnu Shan Yu before. But now that he has become a man, especially since he has hugged Ma Chao's thigh, he naturally doesn't want to be replaced by Yu Fuluo, and thinks about it: "Xiao Wang is dull, please ask the general for advice!" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Brother Xiao Ma got up and said: "The king is the puppet Shan Yu set up by the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu, and now the rebellion has been ambushed, although the king is also the son of Qiangqu, but he is still criticized." As the so-called name is not right, then the words are not good, and if the words are not good, things will not be done, and there will be a plan to make the king rightfully become the real Xiongnu Shan Yu. ”

Xu Bugu was overjoyed, and said urgently: "Please also ask the general to solve your doubts, the little king will have a good reward after the queen!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma smiled: "The difference between the king's words, you and I will be good friends on the same ship in the future, helping you is also helping me, why use words of thanks!" ”

Xu Bugu frowned and said, "May I ask what the general is a friend?" ”

"Ugh!" Ma Chao looked embarrassed, secretly scolded himself for leaving, and explained stubbornly: "It is a friend based on common interests, referred to as a friend." ”

Su Bugu suddenly realized and sighed: "I see, the general is a great talent!" Xiao Wang admires! ”

Brother Xiao Ma shook his head slightly, quickly changed the topic, and said: "If you want to sit firmly in Shan Yu's position, the easiest way is to kill Yu Fuluo, but Yu Fuluo has 10,000 cavalry, not to mention, and people are far away in the territory of the Han Dynasty, this method obviously does not work for the time being." Therefore, we can only retreat to the second, first to prevent it from returning to the Xiongnu, and then the king and Ben will go to Luoyang to ask for surrender, and must see the Son of Heaven before Yu Fuluo arrives in Luoyang, and then as long as he spends some jewels to bribe the eunuchs of the court, it is not difficult to get the pardon and personal title of the Son of Heaven. ”

At the same time, he sued Yu Fuluo in front of the Son of Heaven, saying that he colluded with rebellion and killed Qiangqu, and sent troops to Youzhou as a fake, and it was true to wait for an opportunity to enter the Central Plains under the pretext of sending troops. The Son of Heaven is mediocre, and with the fanning of people with a heart, he will definitely be furious and send troops to exterminate Yu Fuluo! ”

After hearing this, Xu Bugu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the awe of this young man in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but say: "The general's plan can be called killing two birds with one stone, so that not only can Xiao Wang sit firmly in his position, but also use the power of the big man to get rid of the trouble of Yu Fuluo's henchman, how can Xiao Wang not obey?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Okay, happy, time is pressing, Bai Ma Tong is rushing to the royal court at the moment, and the general will also send troops to cooperate with the Bingzhou Army to get rid of Bai Ma Tong." The king needs to make preparations immediately, first of all, to appease those Xiongnu troops, and arrange for his henchmen to lead, Ben will select a part of the elite to enter the Han army, only need to train for ten days and a half to send troops Xianbei and Wuheng, as for the saddle pedal matter, he will send someone to solve it. ”

Xu Bugu worried: "It's easy to appease the surrendered troops, but the Han army has killed so many Huns, and the two armies are already on the same footing, if they train and go out together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work together!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma nodded and said, "Yes, Ben will also worry about this, but this needs to be solved by the king." The affairs of the world cannot escape a good word, as long as the king moves with affection and tempts to benefit, this matter is not difficult to solve. In addition, the Northern Xiongnu Xianbei and Wuheng are also the sworn enemies of the Huns, and they can completely divert the hatred of the soldiers. ”

In fact, it makes sense for Brother Xiao Ma to say this, the Xiongnu is just a general term, and there are many branches under it, and each big branch can be said to be a steppe people. They also abide by the jungle rules of the jungle of the jungle of the jungle, and do not have a strong national cohesion like the Han people. Even if there was no little brother Ma to fight against the Xiongnu, there was a perennial war on the grassland, and it was common for the various Hu tribes to annex each other and fight each other.

Xu Bugu's eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "Okay, Xiao Wang will do his best, if this matter is successful, my Huns will be able to dominate the prairie." ”

Brother Xiao Ma smiled and said, "That will be waiting for the king's good news." ”

A preliminary agreement was reached with Xu Bugu, and Brother Xiao Ma breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment was to get rid of Baima Tong and Bingzhou Ding Yuan, and pondered for a while: "This will immediately set off to meet the returning White Horse Copper, I don't know if the king can be interested in going out with this general, if the king can fight against the Hun cavalry under the command of Baima Tong, this battle will have a few more chances of winning!" ”

Xu Bugu knew that Ma Chao was not at ease with him, so he hugged his fists and said: "Since the general is invited, Xiao Wang should be his companion!" ”

made up his mind, Xiao Ma Ge did not drag his feet, leaving Pang De and Ma Dai to cooperate with Yang Yuan to guard the royal court, the main task was to control nearly 10,000 Xiongnu troops in Dazhai. And he himself set off with the Su Bu Bone, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie to lead the three thousand Shenwei camps.

As soon as the army marched more than 30 miles, it was confronted by scouts sent in the early morning to inquire about the news, and learned that Wang Shuang, Meng Da's troops were less than 50 miles ahead. There were casualties in several battles between Baima Tong and Bingzhou, but the main forces of both sides were not damaged, and the two teams each had about 10,000 men and horses.

It turned out that after Wang Shuang and Meng Da took the order to set off, they met the white horse copper who returned to the aid at the time of the third watch, because the two sides could not distinguish the reality of the other party in the dark night, they had a tacit understanding to camp in situ and confront each other from afar. Soon after, Tianmeng Meng Liang Bai Ma Tong found that the Han army was only more than 2,000 people, with nearly ten times the strength advantage, Bai Ma Tong chose to charge without saying a word, trying to annihilate this Han army, after all, the Bingzhou army behind is still in hot pursuit.

Wang Shuang and Meng Da naturally would not engage in battle, and used the technique of cavalry archery to delay the speed of the Hun cavalry's reinforcements. The White Horse Bronze Army was equivalent to deserters, and the dry food and feather arrows they carried with them were almost exhausted. After chasing it slowly for less than fifty miles, it was caught up by more than 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry chasing with all their strength behind.

Baima Tong was afraid of being attacked by the enemy, and after dividing 5,000 cavalry, he tried to drag down the main force of the state army to gain time to withdraw to the royal court to hold on, and he led the remaining 10,000 horsemen to chase and kill Wang Shuang and Meng Da with all his might.

In this way, there was a battle situation in which four armies chased back and forth on the Xiongnu steppe. Because the two pursued troops only wanted to delay the enemy's march, and did not engage them directly, there was no all-out battle that Little Brother wanted to see.

Knowing the situation ahead, it was easy to do, Brother Xiao Ma directly ordered to move forward quickly, and the round Wang Shuangmengda tried his best to block the main force of Baima Copper, forcing it to engage with the main force of Bingzhou.

And because of Brother Xiaoma's blitzkrieg, Bai Ma Tong didn't know that the royal court hundreds of miles away had fallen, let alone that Han's 40,000 army was almost wiped out. He firmly believes that King Zuoxian, who is sitting in the royal court, will be able to cooperate with the Han army to kill and retreat the Xiliang Han army, and then the two armies will fight back and even completely annihilate the main force of the state.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, more than 10,000 troops are chasing and killing the Han army on the surface, but after chasing for dozens of miles, not only did not kill a Han army, but their own team suffered heavy damage, and the number has obviously shrunk by more than two percent. The more Bai Ma Tong chased, the more frightened he became, his team was repelled by the Bingzhou army, and in order to resist the siege of the Bingzhou infantry army when he held Xinxing, he shot almost all the feather arrows. Now that he encounters this demon team, he naturally has only to be beaten, and there is no room for fighting back.

Wang Shuangmengda also saw this, and simply ordered the army to slow down, keep a distance of fifty paces from it, and release arrows. In this way, Bai Ma Tong did not dare to chase after him, and he had a faint ominous premonition in his heart, secretly thinking about what would happen if the Han troops encountered this Han army

The white horse bronze troops slowed down, and the 5,000 people in the rear were immediately tightened, they did not have the ability to run and release arrows while the Xiliang army, so they could only fight with them in a roundabout way, and fight and retreat, the effect was far inferior to the cavalry and archery tactics of the Xiliang army.

There are fierce generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in the Bingzhou army, and the consequences of these 5,000 people can be imagined, plus the main force of Baima Copper has slowed down, and the main force of the Bingzhou army has followed more closely, and the distance between the two armies is no more than ten miles, which is far away!
