In the spring of February, there was a major event in Zhuo County, that is, Gongsun Zhan, the eldest disciple of Bai Ziyun, who had stayed in the immortal Bai Ziyun for a long time, led 3,000 troops to the desert to kill the Hu people. Immediately ushered in the farewell of 10,000 people, clapping their hands.

In the last few decades at the end of the Han Dynasty, Youzhou was like the back garden of the Hu people, and Xianbei visited Youzhou almost every year. Zhuo County is better in the southeast of Youzhou, far away from the desert, and has not been harassed, but Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Dai County and other counties in the east of Youzhou have suffered greatly, and the Han people are eager to eat their flesh and eat their blood.

Now that I heard that the Venerable Lords sent disciples to the desert to kill the Hu people, the people of Zhuo County were all in high spirits, and spontaneously came to say goodbye and sprinkled flowers on the warriors.

Three thousand soldiers are all white cool armor, bows, arrows, knives and guns and other weapons are readily available, all of them are imposing, heroic, full of pride, they have proud capital, each of them because they have the foundation of cultivating the Baiyun Heart Method, the cultivation of "Dragon Elephant Ban Ruogong" is twice the result with half the effort, and now most of them have reached the second level, and the strength of one arm has a strength of about three hundred catties, (it is the current weights and measures, not the Han Dynasty) There are even more fierce men of four or five hundred catties, how can the barbarians who have not practiced "Dragon Elephant Ban Ruogong" be their opponents?

There were a few scribes above a certain restaurant who looked at the high-spirited soldiers below and couldn't help but admire.

"What a majestic soldier, such a mighty man entering the desert will definitely be able to open the banner and win and raise my great might!"

"Such a strong man will be able to block a hundred, be invincible, and move forward!"

"Three thousand soldiers, wearing armor and helmets, extraordinary momentum, such elite soldiers, will definitely be able to sweep the battlefield and kill Hu people, haha~"

The scribes laughed and were very proud.

One of the scribes sneered, silent, and indifferent. This scribe was less than twenty years old, handsome, but dressed in white rather shabby, and was obviously a man of a humble family.

Someone saw his disdainful face, and immediately dissatisfied: "Brother Tian, with a disapproving look, I don't think this white horse will lose to the barbarians." ”

The white-clothed scribe hurriedly shook his head and said: "I didn't say that, the white horse is the first divine soldier in the world, if you face the enemy head-on, you can defeat the enemy army in the world, but the war does not just rely on the courage of the soldiers, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the intrigue is full of tricks. ”

Seeing that everyone showed a contemplative look, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled: "What's more, the three thousand soldiers below are not going to the desert. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was suddenly surprised and asked, "If you don't go to the desert, where do you go?" ”

The white-clothed scribe looked at the crowd below and said slowly: "You see that each of them is only equipped with a horse, the desert is vast and boundless, and they are all wearing armor, how can they eat just by relying on one horse?" What's more, these horses are all emaciated, they are not good horses, entering the desert, such horses are not tolerant of long journeys, and they will only suffer when they encounter Hu people who are good at riding and shooting, but they are helpless, because they can't catch up with each other at all, how can this battle be fought? ”

All the scribes were slightly surprised, and showed a contemplative look, but some people were quite unconvinced: "Brother Tian, maybe there are horses in the logistics of the Xianmen for a long time, or maybe there are horses elsewhere." ”

The white-clothed scribe put one hand behind his back and said leisurely: "I just observed carefully, those horses are forbidden, quite spiritual, obviously they have been strictly trained, and they have been able to become one with their masters, and this kind of well-trained horse team will be gathered together, and it takes an extremely long time to run in before training, so it can be removed from the possibility of horses elsewhere; So when it comes to logistics, the march has always been a noble soldier and a fast man, and the exchange of horses can only run fast, so why hand over the horses to the logistics? ”

"Brother Tian is right!" All the scribes suddenly realized that they all agreed, and they were full of admiration for the white-clothed scribes.

The white-clothed scribe smiled modestly on his face, but he was quite disdainful in his heart, these are basic marching common sense, these people didn't even see it, even if they didn't see it, the weather should always know, it's only February now, is it suitable to go to the desert? People are invincible, if Gongsun Chan dares to run to the desert, it is Bai Shangxian's ignorance. It seems that Zhuoxian has become stronger because of the long stay of immortals, but it is still lacking in strategy, this is not something that can be cultivated in a short period of time, so I Tian Feng has a lot to do.

At this time, someone asked: "Brother Tian, since Bai Mayi never goes to the desert, where will he go?" ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "If you want to kill the Hu people, you don't have to go to the desert, there are a lot of Hu people stationed at the border of Dai County, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County. ”

All the scribes agreed: "Yes, it is said that the Hu people over there are extremely arrogant, and we are the people of the Han Dynasty, and our Zhuojun is simply one heaven and one place, and now Bai Ma Yi has killed those dirty things from the past, which is no better." ”

"This is also thanks to our respect for coming up to our Zhuo County, so we can be so free."

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! ”

Bai Ziyun stood on the third floor of the Baiyun Restaurant, looking at the imposing soldiers below, nodding secretly, full of momentum, looking at their spirit, body strength has exceeded ordinary people a lot, as long as the generals are not too incompetent, basically this army is invincible in this world.

However, the battlefield is ever-changing, the desert is an enemy area, a desolate place, and Gongsun Chan is a novice who is in charge of the army for the first time, Bai Ziyun does not approve of Gongsun Chan going deep into the desert, as long as he deters the Hu people in the border area.

In fact, the so-called going to the desert to kill the Hu people, can only be regarded as a political propaganda, now it is only February, the northern desert is basically still icy and snowy, the grass has just emerged from the soil, the horses are not full, how to go to the desert to kill the Hu people? To enter the desert, you have to do it in April and May.

In April and May, those horses that have been emaciated in the winter have become fat and strong in the spring, and the horses have entered the best state, and at this time, often Xianbei also comes to Koubian.

Due to Xianbei's successive years of Koubian and the sour Confucian Huairou policy, there are many Hu tribes entrenched in the border areas of several counties in the eastern part of Youzhou, especially Xianbei is powerful there, often harassing the Han area, where the Han people are miserable. The main purpose of Gongsun Zan this time was to go to the border areas of those counties to plunder the Hu people, especially to drive the Xianbei people out of the Han territory, so that he could train the army and get some gold for Bai Ziyun.

After driving the Xianbei people out of the border, wait until April and May, the main force of Xianbei will come to Koubian, and then the bloody battle will really begin.
