Zhang Jun had never been to Fuyu Country before, so his understanding of Fuyu people was only based on hearsay, but fortunately, Zhang Jun had seen Xing Hao before going to Fuyu Kingdom, so he knew that Fuyu people looked silly and stupid on the surface, but in fact they were shrewd and cunning, so they kept an eye on their hearts everywhere.

For example, this time, Zhang Jun had already received the news that Xu Huang had led the army to arrive twenty miles west of Gaoxian, but he did not rush out of the city to greet him, but forced Prince Fuyu, who led the troops, to first remove all the eyeliner and eyes left by Gongsun Du near Gaoxian.

As long as Prince Fuyu gave the order to arrest and kill, he completely drew a line with Gongsun Du, dozens of hundreds of heads fell to the ground or a trivial matter, the key such a move is tantamount to handing over a letter of surrender to Youzhou, Xu Huang led the army to go deep into Xuansu County alone, and there was no need to worry about Fuyu people changing their minds, secretly reporting the news to Gongsun Du, and even stabbing him from behind.

Prince Fuyu looked at Zhang Jun with a serious face, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wanted to find excuses and excuses several times, but when the words came to his mouth, he was forced back by Zhang Jun's sharp eyes.

Zhang Jun saw that Prince Yu was still hesitating, his face sank a little, and he said stiffly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we might as well open the skylight and say something, now our army is twenty miles southwest of Gaoxian, if you can't make a decision immediately, not only will you miss the great opportunity to make friends with Youzhou, but also the previous efforts will be in vain." What's more, if you can't gain General Xu's trust, I, the messenger in charge of liaison, can't say what he will do next!" ”

Zhang Jun said that in the end, it was already a threat from Chiguoguo.

After thinking about it, Prince Fuyu suddenly remembered his father's advice to him when he left Tiangang City. "If you can stay out of it, that's the best. If you really can't do it without offending both parties, then you must stand firmly on the side of Youzhou, and you must not waver from side to side! ”

After making up his mind, Prince Fuyu gritted his teeth and said, "Everything will be done according to Zhang Mi's proposal!" Someone's coming. Quickly pass on my order, arrest all the Han officials in Gaoxian City, and eliminate all the secret agents within fifty miles of the vicinity! ”

Beginning in the afternoon of the same day, the soldiers inside and outside the city of Gaoxian went around to search for the eyes and ears left by Gongsun Du and the Han officials, and those who stubbornly resisted the arrest were killed on the spot. By night, the soldiers had captured nearly 100 officials and cut off dozens of heads.

Zhang Jun saw that the rest of his husband had been forced into the water by himself, so he crossed the river overnight to see Xu Huang.

"Subordinate Zhang Jun has seen the general!"

"Counselor Zhang has worked hard this time, and after taking Xiangping. Ben will personally take credit for you! ”

After a brief greeting, Zhang Jun reported to Xu Huang in detail about his experience during his trip to Fuyu and the various information he collected. After listening to this, Xu Huang was very satisfied with the results of Zhang Jun's actions, and praised and encouraged him again.

"Counselor Zhang was able to persuade King Fuyu to give up his cooperation with Gongsun Du because of the situation, which is a great achievement. Then you persuaded the rest of the husband to cooperate with us, which is an even greater credit. With the covert support of the Fuyu people, the logistical supply of the army is no longer a problem, and there is no need to worry about the Xianbei people coming back and attacking from behind us. In this way, even if we fail in the surprise attack, we will be able to start a tug-of-war with Gongsun Du's troops in Xuansu County, providing opportunities for the troops on the Eastern Front. ”

"Thanks to the general's praise, the subordinates have now been cleaned up in Gaoxian City. Please also ask the general to speed up the army to pass. ”

"Don't be in a hurry at this time, in order to let Fuyu be honest and obedient in the future, you will go back and tell Prince Fuyu that Ben will lead the army through Gaoxian tomorrow. At that time, please stand at the head of the city and see the demeanor of the Youzhou army! ”

Zhang Kai understood what Xu Huang meant, so he returned to Gaoxian overnight and told Prince Fuyu the news that Xu Huang would lead his army to pass outside Gaoxian City the next day. And tried his best to persuade Prince Yu to stand on the top of the city with his leaders when the time came. Prince Fuyu was also curious about how arrogant and domineering the Youzhou cavalry, who had won many victories, so he agreed to Zhang Kai's request without hesitation.

On the morning of the second day, Xu Huang ordered the army to cross the river after breakfast, Zhang Jun had collected the large and small ships near Gao Xian in Da Liao Shui, and when tens of thousands of cavalry came to the river, although the people were very noisy, but because Xu Huang personally dispatched and commanded, it only took three hours to send tens of thousands of troops to the east bank of Da Liao Shui safely and smoothly.

After the troops crossed the river, Xu Huang did not immediately lead the army to Gaoxian, but ordered the troops to sort out the appearance of the army in situ, and after a short rest, they set off again and marched towards Gaoxian County.

Around the end of the evening, when the red sun was about to fall into the vast fields to the west, an army of brightly armored cavalry appeared outside Gaoxian City in a neat formation.

Walking at the front of the queue is the light cavalry battalion of the Liao Army, only to see that the soldiers are all wearing black leather armor, wearing scarlet cloaks, and white carvings are inserted on the top of their heads, which looks not only neat and majestic, but also a little chic and handsome.

Immediately following the light cavalry battalion of the Liao army were the Wuhuan cavalry, whose clothing was almost the same as that of the light cavalry battalion, the only difference being that a few dried human heads were more or less tied to the horses of these Wuhuan cavalry, and the hair ornaments on those heads were very similar to those of Xianbei people.

Behind the Wuhuan cavalry is the Liaodong cavalry battalion that has just been transformed, and their clothing and armor still retain the appearance of the Liaodong cavalry, but the weapons used are replaced by sharp sabers and strong crossbows mass-produced by Jicheng. Perhaps stimulated by the Wuhuan people, these Liaodong men who were eager to prove themselves also tied the heads of some Xianbei people who were cut off by their own hands on horseback.

The last to press the formation was the cavalry battalion of the Zhenbei Army, although it was also one of the light cavalry battalions of the five armies in Youzhou, but the light cavalry battalion of the Zhenbei Army was different from the other battalions. The original team of the Zhenbei Army was the 5,000 Liangzhou veterans that Xu Rong brought to Youzhou from Tongguan, and Liangzhou has always been a place for horsemen, so the light cavalry battalion of the Zhenbei Army naturally has some characteristics of the Western Liang cavalry.

Every time a troop passed outside the city, Zhang Jun at the head of the city would carefully introduce it to Prince Fuyu and the men he brought. When these ladies and gentlemen learned that Youzhou was actually equipped with the same weapons and armor for the hired Wuhuan cavalry, there was a look of envy in their eyes; When they learned that the Liaodong cavalry who had just switched to the camp was actually charging at the forefront when fighting against the Liaodong Xianbei people, they all showed surprised expressions.

What shocked these guys the most was that Zhang Jun told them that the cavalry of more than 10,000 people led by Xu Huang was just a temporary patchwork, and if the overall combat strength was concerned, compared with the Xiao cavalry guards on the western front of Youzhou, it was several streets behind.

Regardless of whether the husband and the rest of the people really believe it, Zhang Jun really didn't fool them this time, if these guys have seen the demeanor of the Xiao Cavalry with their own eyes, I am afraid that they will leave some lingering shadows in their hearts in the future.

After more than 10,000 cavalry walked outside Gaoxian City, the rest of the people at the head of the city were not only shocked, but also shocked. Prince Fuyu ran down from the city, rode a horse and chased ten miles out of the city, and then stopped in front of Xu Huang's horse, saying that he would let the army stay and rest for a day.

Xu Huang didn't understand the intentions of the husband and the others, and turned his inquiring gaze to Zhang Jun, who was following closely.

Zhang Jun pondered for a while, and felt that Fuyu should have no malicious intent, so he suggested: "General, since Brother Fuyu is so enthusiastic, it is better to camp here and rest for the night." ”

Xu Huang nodded, and the army set up camp ten miles south of Gaoxian City.

Prince Fuyu accompanied Xu Huang in his tent, and after an hour, he saw a team of Fuyu soldiers driving cattle and sheep, carrying wine and food to the outside of the camp.

"When the general first arrived in Gaoxian, the vulgar people of the lower country had nothing to entertain the army, so they could only send some wine, food, and livestock, which was not a tribute, and asked the general to accept it no matter what!" Prince Fuyu said to Xu Huang with a sincere face.

Xu Huang didn't say anything polite to the husband, said a few kind words, and then generously accepted the wine, food, and livestock sent by the husband.

There are still two hundred miles to go to Xiangping, and the rest of the people sent these wine, food and livestock, which is just enough to allow the army to replenish its physical strength, at this critical moment of success or failure, how can Xu Huang let go of any factor that is conducive to improving the combat effectiveness of the troops?

In the Chinese military tent, after the wine and food are full, the guests and hosts are happy. Prince Fuyu asked tentatively: "Today I am fortunate to see the majestic posture of the Youzhou cavalry, the men in our clan are a little yearning and envy, I wonder if the general can give the children of the clan a chance to go to Xiangping with you?" ”

Xu Huang heard what Prince Fuyu said, and suddenly smiled. Who said that the husband and the rest of the people were stupid? This prince is not stupid at all!

On the surface, if the Fuyu people followed Xu Huang to Xiangping, casualties would naturally be inevitable, but they had the opportunity to fight side by side with the Youzhou cavalry, and they could learn a lot of things along the way, and even master some skills in arranging troops. Compared to the lost men, the rest of the people can learn only a lot.

Although he saw the thoughts of the rest of the husband, Xu Huang did not refuse, but happily agreed. Xu Huang is not afraid that the husband and the rest of the people will follow him to learn the arts, because he believes that no matter how the husband and the rest of the people learn, there are some key things that they can't learn. For example, although the standard sabers used by the Youzhou cavalry can remember the shape of the knife, they cannot master the forging steel technology for making sabers. For another example, the Fuyu people can discover the secrets of Takahashi's saddle and two-legged stirrups, but they can't master the manufacturing technology of Mingguang armor, let alone the manufacturing technology of the steel box copper bracket repeater......

On the second day, more than 3,000 cavalry followed behind Xu Huang's team and quickly approached Xiangping together. (To be continued......)
