Chapter 757: Chu Guotie Riding on the Central Plains (First Update)

"Could it be Zhao Yun's cavalry?"

The adjutant general's words made Kaohsiung's face even paler.

However, Kaohsiung still has comforting words in his heart.

"I heard that Zhao Yun's cavalry originally had 10,000, but when he was in the Northern Expedition to Xudu, he lost a lot. Now these 30,000 cavalry are just newly recruited, and they have only been a few months. There are 20,000 cavalry of General Zhu Ling near Xudu, and he shouldn't come out of the way. Kaohsiung comforted the adjutant general and said.

But these words, to comfort the lieutenant, it is better to comfort himself.

The adjutant doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to die.

But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the despair.

As the shaking of the ground intensified, a cavalry appeared in front of them.

A large banner with the character "Chu" symbolizing the national name of Chu is the equipment that every independent army needs to equip. The second is the "Zhao" character flag.

No matter which flag it was, it made Kaohsiung and other Cao soldiers frightened.

Not to mention, the momentum brought out by this cavalry composed of 30,000 soldiers, one man, two horses, and 60,000 war horses.

The majestic atmosphere that opens when it meets the mountains and passes through the desert comes from the sky.

After the hero's expression changed greatly, he immediately turned his horse's head and fled first. They were only a thousand soldiers, and it was completely impossible to fight against 30,000 cavalry.

Grain and grass will be lost, and if you stay, you will immediately lose your life.

Kaohsiung was the first to flee, and immediately let the lieutenant general around him, as well as dozens of close horsemen, turn their horses around and flee to the north.

The rest of the soldiers glanced at each other, immediately put down their weapons, and lay down next to the grain and grass cart with the coachmen, not daring to move.

"General, the thief will flee." There was a lieutenant general beside Zhao Yun and yelled.

"Pick a hundred men and follow me to hunt down the thieves. The grain was burned again, and the coachman and the Wei soldiers were dispersed. Zhao Yun also yelled in response.

The galloping war horse was very fast, and Zhao Yun and the others, who were sitting on horseback, only felt the wind whistling in their ears, and when they spoke, a large amount of air was immediately poured in.

It's not easy.

If there is a chance, Zhao Yun still hopes to be able to transport this batch of grain, as well as soldiers, coachmen, carts, etc., back to Chu State, but it is obviously impossible at present.

Therefore, it can only be burned.

The general promised, immediately took Zhao Yun's place, and began to restrain the soldiers. And Zhao Yun rode a good horse under his crotch, led more than 100 cavalry, and chased Kaohsiung to the north.

Kaohsiung led dozens of cavalry to the north, although he heard the sound of a large number of cavalry behind him gradually moving away, but a small group of cavalry pursued him.

I couldn't help but feel the soul of the dead, and when I turned around, I saw that the "Zhao" character general flag, under the control of a flag bearer, fluttered in the wind. Next to him is a silver-armored general.

Suddenly, his face was like earth.

At this time, Zhao Yun did not have much prestige. However, the five generals in the front and back of Kou Feng are famous all over the world. Among them, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici are all famous figures.

Zhao Yun, who is alongside them, naturally no one will look down on him.

Now Zhao Yun is behind, and there are more than 100 cavalry. It's a dead end.

"General." The adjutant general also saw it, and couldn't help but turn around and let out a desperate yell at Kaohsiung.

It has been a while, and Zhao Yun not only has no intention of giving up, but is getting closer and closer. Kaohsiung stood up and roared, slapped his horse backwards, and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

After hesitating for a moment, the accompanying lieutenant generals and the soldiers immediately turned around and killed Zhao Yun.

"Haha, it's not a bad breed." Seeing this, Zhao Yun let out a long laugh, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, stepped on the stirrups, bowed down, and stretched out his spear.

Let's be honest.

The existence of this stirrup, although it allows novices to get started faster. However, it is also very helpful to veterans like Zhao Yun, which has boosted their ability to fight.

"Flutter." Only once, this little-known little general called Kaohsiung was stabbed off the horse by Zhao Yun, and he didn't even snort, and he died blindly.

"General." The lieutenant general was in a big rage, but this group of people who fled was immediately killed by the Zhao Yun cavalry who rushed up.

"Cut off your head and go back to receive your reward." Zhao Yun laughed. The head of this leading general is more or less a credit, but it is of little use to Zhao Yun.

"Thank you, General." The soldiers were overjoyed and immediately rushed up and cut off their heads. Immediately, together with Zhao Yun, he returned to the place just now.

At this moment, the soldiers and coachmen who escorted the grain had already fled in all directions. Weapons, even leather armor plucked from Cao Jun's body, were collected by the soldiers and pinned to some of the horses.

Ready to tow away.

And the cart carrying the grain was set on fire.

Smoking fiery snakes, emitting ash smoke.

Zhao Yun looked at the burning grain trucks and knew that this was enough to shake the entire Central Plains. Cao Cao fought in the west, and the Chu army invaded.

It was enough to shake the Cao Wei regime.

But this was not enough, Zhao Yun's purpose was for Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry.

"Let's go. We will attack the cities, and burn the grain, and burn the storehouses. A moment later, Zhao Yun held his spear and shouted.

Wan Tieqi responded in unison, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, galloped through the Central Plains. Burned down Cao Jun's camps and some low cities.

The north is sparsely populated, but the war is ordinary. In addition to some regular troops, there were also a large number of tuntian soldiers. They are the foundation of the entire Cao Wei.

Now, Zhao Yun's cavalry invaded, burned down those camps, and scattered the tuntian soldiers. Absolutely fatal.

The news soon spread throughout the Central Plains like being tied to a pigeon. The first to bear the brunt is Xu Du, which is very close to the Tiger Prison Pass.

In the past, Xudu existed as the political center of the north, and thus prospered. But today's Xudu, with the establishment of Cao Wei, Yecheng has become the capital of Cao Wei.

It's no longer a political center. Some of Cao Cao's former generals, ministers, migrated family members, and clansmen entered Yecheng. further extracted the prosperity of Xudu.

Today's Xudu is like an ordinary big city. Except for the tall city walls, 50,000 elite soldiers, and some officials commanded by Xun Yu, there is basically no momentum of the Han capital.

However, when the news came that Kou Feng's cavalry had burned the grain of Cao's army, and that a large-scale invasion had been carried out to destroy the tuntian measures in the north, it still caused a huge shock in Xudu.

Immediately, Xun Yu summoned some important ministers of Xu Du to discuss how to deal with them.

The advantage of the Central Plains is that there are many scholars, and it is the center of the world, which has a high value. But the disadvantage is that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is no danger to defend inside.

Once a large-scale cavalry invades, it can cause great damage.

In addition, Cao Cao is also in the western expedition at present, if the food in the back road is cut off, and the Cao army is defeated, it will be a great loss.

"What's the matter, aren't Zhao Yun's cavalry just formed? We all have General Zhu Ling's 20,000 iron cavalry to defend it, how can he have the courage to send Zhao Yun's cavalry here? Not afraid of being ruined? ”

"Yes, you must know that our war horses in the north can be produced in a steady stream, while the south is fighting a little less, and with the loss of these 30,000 cavalry, it will be difficult for Kou Feng to train cavalry again. If there were no cavalry, how could he compete with us in the north? It's incomprehensible. ”

"Don't spurn Kou Feng, he's currently trapped in the middle of nowhere, and he can't extricate himself. I heard that it was Situ Jiang Wan of the Chu State who guarded Xiangyang, so he may have been confused. ”

The ministers who came to Xun Yu's mansion to discuss discussed a lot, and there was a strong disdain in their words.

The south is good for water, and the north is good for horses.

The southerners compete with the northerners in cavalry, and it is useless to have more.

Soon, the crowd entered the hall. At this moment, Xun Yu was already sitting in the hall, he was dressed in formal clothes and his face was solemn. In addition to Xun Yu, there are also some ministers and generals who arrived early.

and the most eye-catching Zhu Ling.

Zhao Yun's cavalry entered the north, like their Cao Wei provoked the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. And now Xu Du's cavalry, only Zhu Ling remains.

Just now, the ministers were talking again. Naturally, their eyes were more or less looking at Zhu Ling.

But Zhu Ling's face was very calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

The ministers praised in their hearts, General Zhu was really calm, compared to Zhao Yun was nothing at all.

After the ministers almost arrived, Xun Yu straightened his expression and said, "Zhao Yun led 30,000 cavalry to plunder my grain route. As well as destroying a large number of our camps, breaking through some county towns, burning the treasury and grain. Take away the gold, silver, and weapons that you can. You should know this news too. ”

As he spoke, Xun Yu glanced at the people in the hall and said, "Now that the prime minister is no longer there, we should negotiate a solution." I wonder if your colleagues have a good plan? ”

"Shang Shuling is really too cautious, the thieves invade, so they will naturally kill them head-on. so that the people of Chu can taste the power of our northern cavalry. What is called good war in the north and good water in the south. It is best for them to stay in the south for the rest of their lives, relying on the Yangtze River water system to survive. There was a minister who said with a smile.

Not just one person, but a part of the population agrees.

"Lord Zhu's right made the people of Chu widen their eyes and look at it, hahahaha."

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

Some of the ministers let out hearty laughter. With Zhu Ling here, they are full of confidence. The people of Chu are on the cavalry, it's a ball.

Xun Yu first looked at the rest of the ministers quietly, and found that no one objected. He pushed the boat down the river, turned his head to look at Zhu Lingdao, and said, "Now there is news that Zhao Yunzheng is leading his troops to loot and burn in the Zhongmu area. Let's take a trip to Wenbo. ”

Zhu Ling, who had always had a calm and natural complexion, showed a look of order, and bowed down to Xun Yu and said, "Shang Shuling, don't worry, go down and go back." ”

The words seem arrogant, but they carry the strong self-confidence of northerners.

"Okay, I wish General Zhu a victory and destroy Zhao Yun. So that there are no more cavalry in the state of Chu. ”

"The general is really arrogant."

The ministers exclaimed.
