Chapter 277: Hussar General
Liu Bang said: "Ofan, do you mean to use troops against the Huns?" ”
To be honest, Liu Bang is still quite afraid of the Huns, the main reason is that the Huns are all steppe cavalry who come and go like the wind, while the Han army is mostly infantry, once the two sides fight, the Han army will be strategically passive, so, until the last resort, Liu Bang is really unwilling to take the initiative to provoke the Huns.
Zhang Liang didn't answer and asked: "Doesn't the king think that now is a good time to use troops against Hexi?" ”
Due to the appearance of Xiang Zhuang, Liu Bang had a deeper understanding of the cavalry, coupled with the great deviation between the general trend of the world and history, forcing Liu Bang to face the threat of the Xiongnu alone, therefore, as early as after the Xiongnu went south to Guanzhong for the first time, Liu Bang strengthened the prevention and infiltration of the Xiongnu and Yueshi.
At this time, Guanzhong, east of Korea, Liangguo, south of Ba, Shu two counties, can sit back and relax.
The Yueshi people in the west and the Xiongnu in the north could pose a threat to the Han Dynasty, but in general, the Xiongnu were far more threatening than the Yue.
In fact, the Yue's people are not having a good time now.
Not long ago, the Hun Tu tribe and the Hun evil tribe between the Huns and the Yueshi people surrendered to the Huns, and the Yueshi people needed to face the threat of the Huns.
The Yueshi people are also a big tribe, with more than 100,000 armor, so naturally they will not surrender easily.
Zhang Liang thought that once the Yueshi people and the Xiongnu started a full-scale war, the Great Han State would take this opportunity to form a good alliance with the Yueshi people and strike a hard blow to the Huns, which would not completely cripple the Huns. At the very least, they must not dare to go south to herd horses, so that the Great Han Kingdom can solve the two major threats from the west and the north in one fell swoop, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
And Zhang Liang and Chen Ping have also analyzed this situation many times.
Liu Bang was also a little moved, and said: "Ovary." Do you think this battle can really be fought? ”
Zhang Liang said: "King, in the battle of Hexi, our army has three victories and the Huns have three defeats, so this battle can be fought!" ”
"Our army has three victories and the Huns have three defeats?" Liu Bang asked with interest, "Ovary, be specific." ”
Zhang Liang said: "The Hexi Corridor is close to the two counties of Longxi and Beidi, and our army is waiting for work, and this is a victory; The Yueshi people are facing a threat of life and death, and they will work together with me to fight against the Huns, and these two victories; My cavalry has been trained. It can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, and the sharp equipment is not comparable to the Huns, and these three victories are also. ”
Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then said: "Jiuyuan is far away from the Hexi Corridor, and the Huns are far away, and this one is defeated; Hugh slaughter, new evil and unstable, it is difficult to work together with the Xiongnu to fight together, and these two defeats; It's only the height of summer. The Huns were not fat, their horses were not strong, and they could not mobilize the troops of the entire tribe to go out on a large scale, and these three defeats were also defeated. ”
Zhang Liang said again: "Our army has three victories and the Huns have three defeats, why can't this battle be fought?" ”
Liu Bang was thrilled when he heard this, and immediately slammed the knot: "Okay." Beat! After a pause, Liu Bang said again, "So, who should be the general, and how many cavalry should be dispatched?" ”
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping glanced at each other and smiled silently.
King Han is already almost sixty years old, and his body and bones are no longer as good as they were back then, plus the cavalry fights. Galloping thousands of miles at every turn, if the old bones of King Han are really upside down, it will be terrible! Therefore, this battle can only send one general to lead the army, and there is no suspense as to who to send to the battle.
There were not many cavalry generals in the Han army, except for the infant, there was also Lutai.
A year ago, it was still necessary to consider who to send to the expedition. But now, there is no need for that at all, last year's battle in Bai Yu Pass, Lu Tai won a complete victory, and captured the Huns Zuo Da Dang. The baby was defeated miserably in the skin, and the two of them were already clear. Although Lu Tai is young, his ability to lead troops in battle is far above that of infants! ..., if Liu Bang still has some concerns, that is, he is worried that Lu Tai is the eldest son of Lu Ze, and the nephew of Lu Hou, and the cousin of the crown prince Liu Ying.
However, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping did not agree with Liu Bang's deposition of Liu Ying, so they all preferred to be led by Lu Tai.
Liu Bang thought about it again and again, and finally felt that the deposition of the prince could still be discussed in the long run, but the threat of the Huns was imminent, so he immediately high-fived himself with his fist, and turned back and instructed Zhang Liangdao: "The ovary, immediately draw up an edict, promote the captain of Changle Captain Lu Tai as the hussar general, command the Longxi and Xianyang battalions with 20,000 fine cavalry, and send Hexi to the west!" ”
"Whoa!" Zhang Liang happily agreed, turned around and took the order.
As soon as Zhang Liang left, Xiao He suddenly broke in.
"Prime Minister?" Liu Bang was stunned and said, "Why did you come to Longxi?" ”
"The King." Xiao He waved at Liu Bang, gasped and said, "Quick, hurry up and return to Xianyang with the minister." ”
"Back to Xianyang?" Liu Bang's heart jumped, and his face changed slightly, "Prime Minister, is there something wrong?" ”
"Well, no." Xiao He hurriedly shook his head, and then said, "That's the case, a few days ago, the minister accidentally met a scholar from Kanto, this person is very knowledgeable, and his conversation is even better, he is definitely a talent that the king urgently needs, but the identity of the minister alone, I am afraid that it is not enough to recruit this person, so the king should hurry back to Xianyang." ”
"Talent?" Liu Bang's expression moved slightly, for Xiao He's eyesight, Liu Bang has always been quite convinced, Xiao He said that this person is a talent, then it must be a talent, since it is a talent, of course, it is necessary to vigorously recruit, for talents, Liu Bang is never too much, Liu Bang said at the moment, "Okay, the widow will go back to Xianyang!" ”
##########
The western suburbs of Xianyang, Changle Camp.
The sun is like fire, and in the sound of iron hooves like a tide, a group of about four or five hundred cavalry of the Han army cavalry is like a galloping wind, galloping towards the Yuanmen of the Changle Camp, which can be close to the Yuanmen, and the red-robed young general who galloped in the front suddenly raised his right hand, and the four or five hundred cavalry who followed up behind him suddenly quickly spread towards the left and right wings.
Almost at the same time, the gate of the Changle camp also opened violently, and another team of Han cavalry surged out of the gate, and the two Han cavalry advanced opposite each other, and the speed slowed down from rapid to slow, until they were less than ten steps away from each other.
"Will!"
"Victory!"
After the confrontation in an instant, the two young generals of the Han Army led by him clasped their fists and laughed at the same time.
These two young generals of the Han army are naturally Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu, Lu Tai will be the word of the table, and the word of Zhou Guanfu will win, all of which are the words of the Han King Liu Bangci, Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu and Wang Qi are called the three horses in Guanzhong, but it is a pity that in the battle of Dabie Mountain, Wang Qi folded under Xiang Zhuang before he was crowned, and it is really embarrassing to say.
"Shengzhi, you don't train in Shangjun, what are you doing when you go back to Xianyang?"
Lu Tai said that he turned around and walked side by side with Zhou Guanfu, and the hundreds of Han horsemen lined up behind him flashed towards the left and right sides, making way to the passage to Yuanmen.
Zhou Guanfu shook the whip in his hand, and said angrily: "Shooting straw men every day in Shangjun, at most hunting, shooting a few rabbits and pheasants in the mountains, these days are really boring, and they are about to fade out of the birds, it just so happens that I have also trained hundreds of cavalry, so I will bring Xianyang to compete with your Changle Camp to see which is better and which is inferior." ”
Lu Tai shook his head with a smile and said, "Shengzhi, you still have this temper, hehe." ”
Zhou Guanfu said angrily: "Tell me, do you say it directly, compare or not?" ”
"Than, of course than." Lu Tai shook his head with a wry smile, and then said confidently, "Fighting generals, I'm really not as good as you, but if you test the cavalry under your command, it's not that I'm boasting, although your hundreds of cavalry look like that, but if you really get to the battlefield, it's really not enough." ..., Zhou Guanfu snorted: "Who wouldn't be able to play tricks, see you on the battlefield!" ”
Lu Tai shook his head, and said: "That's it, you are a guest from afar, and I won't bully you, there are always sixteen elite cavalry under my Changle Battalion, how about you pick a song to compare with your hundreds of cavalry?" ”
Zhou Guanfu said: "Okay, queue, riding and shooting, plus winning sheep, two wins in three games!" ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already ridden to the side of the colonel field of the Changle camp, and when Lu Tai was about to beat the drum to gather troops, the sentry guarding the gate blew a loud horn.
When Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu looked back in a hurry, they saw that hundreds of Han riders came on the gallop outside the gate, and the first rider was holding a crimson da, which was embroidered with a big "Han" character, and Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu suddenly changed their faces slightly when they saw it, this is ...... Han Wang Daxuan?! King Han has arrived?!
At that moment, Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu couldn't care about the competition anymore, and turned over and dismounted one after another and rushed outside the gate.
Not long after, hundreds of Han horsemen galloping from the front rushed to the outside of the gate, was the first to ride the Han King? Behind King Han, there was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old red-robed young general accompanying him, the red-robed young general looked like Lang Xing, his face was like Fu Fan, and he looked childish, but there was a lot of hawkish and wolf-looking spirit between Gu Pan.
"King!"
"King!"
Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu and the Han soldiers lined up behind them knelt down on one knee and paid their respects.
"Flatten it, win it flat, and all the soldiers, let's be flat." Liu Bang turned over and dismounted, personally helped Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu up, and solemnly motioned to the Han soldiers behind the two to get up.
At that moment, Liu Bang pulled Lu Tai with his left hand, and led Zhou Guanfu with his right hand and went straight to the gate.
Looking around left and right, looking at the heroic and aggressive Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu, and then looking back at Liu Bi, who looked at the eagle and wolf Gu and the heroic Liu Bi, Liu Bang was sad for no reason, how could Lu Ze, Zhou Bo and the second brother Liu Xi all give birth to good sons, but he Liu Bang can't give birth to a decent son? !
