Chapter 31: The Wuhuan Attack

The stars change, the sun and the moon change. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. In these three years, Ao Lie not only practiced the Wuji Jiuyang Gong to the realm of Dacheng. And followed Tong Yuan to learn the Hundred Bird Chaohuang Gun, and blended the Hundred Bird Chaohuang Gun into his own marksmanship, and created a set of Liangyi Breaking Formation Overlord Gun that made Wang Ao and Tong Yuan's two major gun gods amazed. This set of marksmanship can be said to be a collection of later Taiji marksmanship, Chu overlord Xiang Yu's eighteen slashes, Wang Ao's gossip dragon gun and Tong Yuan's hundred birds and phoenix gun in one of the wonderful marksmanship, both rigid and soft, yin and yang meet, whether it is fighting alone or rushing to kill the enemy, it has unparalleled great power.

In the past three years, Ao Lie was finally able to get rid of the "claws" of his master Wang Ao Laozu, and instead of Ao Lie, it was naturally Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun, two junior brothers. Wang Ao's old ancestor's hellish training was transferred to the two of them, making Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun secretly complain, but at the same time, their martial arts cultivation was accompanied by pain, and it was also increasing day by day. Especially Zhao Yun, his own understanding is good enough, his talent is high enough, and under the training of Wang Ao Laozu, his marksmanship is even more advanced day by day, and he is gradually becoming more and more successful.

Wantong Chamber of Commerce has gradually grown in the past three years, and the trade routes extend in all directions to the territory of Youzhou, and even extend its tentacles to Jizhou, and several counties near Youzhou in the north of Jizhou have also established branches, and have an excellent reputation. Relying on the three specialties of Golden Silk Leaf, West Wind Lie and Liuyang Snow made by Ao Lie, it quickly occupied the market and formed a monopoly. After Ao Lie also developed a miracle effect on the treatment of trauma Baixiao Dan, can be applied externally or internally, just on the market, it caused a tide of praise, Ao Lie also put the Baixiao Dan and Xifeng Lie, as one of the elite conventional armaments of the 800 blood killing battalion, once someone is injured, first clean the wound with Xifeng Lie, sterilize and disinfect, and treat the wound with Baixiao Dan. In addition, Ao Laozhang has also developed several new products and introduced them to the market, although the effect is not as eye-catching as the few things made by Ao Lie, but it is also very popular. In the past three years, Wantong Commercial Bank has accumulated a huge amount of wealth, and Ao Lie used the two profits from it to change the equipment for the 800 blood killing battalion again. Ao Lie also specially changed two good war horses for Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu's war horse is called Baihe, and Zhao Yun's war horse is called Little White Dragon, both of which are one in a thousand BMWs.

In addition, on Ao Lie's thirteenth birthday, he finally got his own table. Because Ao Lie really can't stand the torment of not having small characters, for example, Ao Lie can call Zhang Xiu as Senior Brother Youwei and Zhao Yun as Senior Brother Zilong, but Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun can only call Ao Lie Senior Brother Ao, which not only seems to be raw, but also awkward. So, at Ao Lie's strong request, Liu Yu and Ao Laozhang gave Ao Lie the small characters of Le Mohan. It means that no matter how many books you read and how much knowledge you learn, you can't be complacent, and in the realm of learning and martial arts, Ao Lie's achievements are still far behind. Of course, Ao Lie understood the ardent expectations of his grandfather and father, so he gladly accepted the small word Mo Han.

It's winter again, and winter is often the most uncomfortable season for northerners. Not only have to endure the cold weather, but also face the pain of not having enough grain in stock, and even more have to endure the test of the New Year, some farmers who rent the land of the landlord's Haoqiang family are so worried that they can't sleep every time the New Year passes. But in recent years, the people of Youzhou are not afraid of winter, because they have a good state pastor who is honest and diligent for the people. Since Liu Yu took office, the people of Youzhou, especially the people of Ji County, the seat of Youzhou, have lived a good life of abundant food and clothing under Liu Yu's administration.

But this winter, a heavy snowfall shattered the peace. In the hall of the State Pastoral Mansion, Liu Yu sat on the main seat with a frown, looking at the battle report in front of him, and couldn't help but worry. Because of the sudden heavy snowfall this winter, the cattle and sheep raised by the Wuhuan people in the north were frozen to death, so the Wuhuan Cliff King decided to invade the border of the Han Dynasty again and plunder the grain, iron tools and women of the Han people.

Since taking office, Liu Yu's policy towards the border barbarians has always been to be friendly with Wuhuan and Xianbei, and to fight against the Xiongnu together. However, at this moment, the king of Wuhuan Qiao treacherously led his troops to invade the border, and Liu Yu was distressed. Sighing, Liu Yu said: "Let's talk about it, now that Wuhuan is coming, how should we deal with it?" If it is a war, it will be equivalent to turning against the Wuhuan people, and it will inevitably force the Wuhuan people to the side of the Huns, destroying our army's long-standing strategy of combining verticals and columns; If we don't fight, how can we bear to sit back and watch the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry go south, causing the people on the border of our Han Dynasty to suffer poison? ”

Listening to Liu Yu's words, the more than twenty civil and military officials in the hall also fell into deep thought. Ao Lie stood up and looked around, then strode to the middle of the hall, and said loudly: "Lord Zhou Mu, the last general thinks that the lesser of the two should be weighed, the Huns are brutal by nature, and the help of the Wuhuan people is undoubtedly like a tiger's wings, and it will further increase their ferocity, which is a major problem for my Han frontier; However, if the Wuhuan people are allowed to go south to plunder the people in the frontier, they will surely lose their lives and make the border unstable, so that the border of our Han Dynasty will exist in name only, which is a disaster that will affect the whole body. Therefore, the last general thinks that the safety of the people should be preserved, and the hearts of the people should be reassured; and then repelled Wuhuan to shock the courage of Wuhuan ; After the most Lu exterminated the Huns, in order to exterminate the Huns. Because it was a military discussion, Ao Lie obviously couldn't call Liu Yu's father, but Ao Lie himself was already the master, and it was impossible to call Liu Yu the lord like other Youzhou officials, so Ao Lie could only compromise and call Liu Yu the state pastor.

After listening to Ao Lie's words, Liu Yu was still a little hesitant. Liu Yu's expertise is reflected in the management of political affairs, rather than making decisions on the spot and leading troops to fight, to put it bluntly, Liu Yu is an outstanding internal affairs talent, but he is not an excellent general.

Seeing that Liu Yu was still hesitant, Captain Ning Yuan, Shi Lian, shouted in a rough voice: "Lord, General Mo Han is right, we have to fight this battle, according to my opinion, there is no need to discuss it anymore, it is important to quickly reorganize the army for war." ”

Liu Yu glanced at Shi Lian and didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Changshi Yan Rou: "Zhongxing, what do you think?" Yan Rou saw Liu Yu ask about him, he groaned slightly, and said, "My lord, Rou thinks that what General Mo Han said is true. The barbarians of the north are brutal by nature, and if we give in once, they will think that I am a big man to be bullied, and then they will become Bengali and become more cruel. ”

At this time, Commander Qi Zhou and Don't Drive Tian Kai also stood up and said, "We all think that what General Mo Han said is very reasonable, and I hope that the Lord will make a decision as soon as possible. ”

At that moment, Liu Yu did not hesitate, took out an arrow and said loudly: "In this case, then we must let the Wuhuan people who have committed the border come and go." Shi Jian listened to the order, and you must quickly rectify the army and horses, and be sure to complete the rectification within three days, so that our army can go on the expedition. ”

Shi Jian strode forward, took the arrow in Liu Yu's hand, and replied loudly: "No! ”

Liu Yu took out an arrow again and said: "Qi Zhou listens to the order, and you hurry to Liaoxi, and order Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Zan to lead 3,000 troops as the right wing!" ”

"No!"

The third time he took out the order arrow, Liu Yu handed it to Tian Kai: "Tian Kai listens to the order, takes you to Zhuo County, and orders Zhuo County Taishou Cui Yan to lead 3,000 troops as the left wing!" ”

"No!"

After pondering for a while, Liu Yu took out an arrow again, but he didn't give an order in a hurry, but after scanning the faces of the civil and military officials, he sighed softly and pointed the arrow at Ao Lie: "Ao Lie listens to the order, you lead the people of the headquarters as the vanguard of the front, and the general will allocate two thousand men and horses to you, you can go to General Shigong Liu to choose at will!" ”

Ao Lie strode forward, took the arrow with both hands, and said loudly: "No! ”

Looking at Ao Lie's resolute face, Liu Yu was in a trance in his heart. After all, although the position of the pioneer general is enviable, the vanguard is often the unit with the highest mortality rate, and every battle must be the first to fight the enemy, plus the possibility of being ambushed, being cut off from the grain route and other unpredictable factors, it is really a very dangerous thing. However, Liu Yu is not a person who abolishes the public for personal reasons, whether it is from the perspective of boosting morale or the comparison of comprehensive strength, Ao Lie is the most suitable candidate to serve as a pioneer general.

A group of civil and military officials sitting in the hall also realized Liu Yu's contradictory mood at the moment, Yan Rou stood up, walked to Liu Yu's side and whispered: "Don't worry, my lord, General Mo Han is known as the 'little overlord', the brave champion of the three armies, and the elite of the 800 blood killing battalion under his command is invincible, and he will definitely be able to kill the general and return with meritorious service." ”

All the civil and military officials also stood up and said to Ao Lie, who was walking out of the hall, from the bottom of their hearts: "I would like to congratulate General Huwei on his victory. Ao Lie hugged his fists and thanked everyone as he walked out of the hall.

Looking at Ao Lie's distant back, Liu Yu cleaned up his chaotic mood and ordered again: "Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, the three of you will pack up the grain and grass, wait for Shi Lian to complete the military horses, and then set off with the army led by the general!" ”

The next day, Ao Lie led 800 blood slaughter battalion elite cavalry and 2,000 infantry troops under Liu Yu to march first. Liu Yu and more than 20 civil and military officials came to see him off. I saw Ao Lie dressed in a military uniform, wearing a helmet and armor, and a snow-white cloak behind him, sitting on the snow-white snow dragon horse in the night. In the past few years, the snow dragon horse has also grown into a tall horse, and it is extremely powerful.

By Ao Lie's side, it was his two junior brothers, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun, who stood on horseback. The two of them were also wearing armor and riding on their respective white horses, complementing Ao Lie. Three heroic young men, three steel guns, and three white war horses look heroic and extraordinary.

On the two white horses behind Ao Lie, sat Xun Yu and Tian Chou, two strategists. The two were dressed in long robes and wore forehead crowns, showing the atmosphere of literati.

Ten steps away from Ao Lie's back, Zhang Liao held a long-handled steel knife in his hand, and the horizontal knife was immediately slashed, showing the style of a general.

Behind Zhang Liao, there were five neat rows of elite blood killing battalions, each with a white feather stuck in their helmet, and everyone's eyes were extremely firm, revealing the momentum of moving forward bravely. They were dressed in fine willow-leaf iron armor, holding steel knives in their hands, and crossbows behind their backs, and sat down on all white war horses, even the war horses were covered with a layer of iron horse armor, revealing only their mouths, noses, and eyes. These elites of the bloody killing battalion, just standing motionless on horseback in place, give people a solemn and deadly atmosphere. Anyone who takes a look at it will be called elite in admiration.

After the bloody killing camp, there were 2,000 Youzhou foot soldiers. These two thousand people were carefully selected by Ao Lie and Zhang Liao, and they can be called warriors. At this moment, 2,000 people stood quietly on the ground, with the sword and shield hand in the front row, the left hand erecting the shield, and the right hand sword on the side of the shield; The long snatcher is in the middle, the spear in his hand is on the ground, and the tip of the spear is pointed straight to the sky; The archer is at the back of the archer, holding the bow in his left hand, hanging down his right hand at his side, and carrying a quiver full of arrows behind his back. The orderly arrangement of the various arms shows that this infantry army is well-trained.

Liu Yu stood on the improvised high platform, watching Ao Lie and other pioneers strengthen the soldiers, and felt very relieved in his heart. Lang Sheng said: "Today, the king of Wuhuan Qiao treacherously led 100,000 ferocious invaders on the border of our Han Dynasty. Now, this general ordered General Huwei and Baisheng Pavilion Hou Ao Lie to be the vanguard of the front, leading the troops first, and in a few days, this general will lead the army to the north and duel it in the Wuhuan Cliff King! This general's order - Ao Lie's department, go on the expedition! ”

Ao Lie sat on the snow dragon horse in the night, raised the steel gun in his hand, and shouted: "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and swears not to return it if it is not broken! Let's go! ”

Zhang Liao immediately raised his steel knife in the direction of Ao Lie and shouted, "Swear to follow General Huwei to the death!" ”

The eight hundred blood killing battalions shouted in unison: "The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!" ”

The two thousand vanguard foot soldiers also raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”
