Chapter 63: All the way north
At the head of Anyi City, Niu Fu looked at the beaten and tattered city wall and jumped to his feet in anger, but because he was afraid of Lu Bu's military might, he could only watch the other party leave.
Lü Bu went all the way to the east, followed the 1,000 soldiers who had fled and returned, and chased them all the way to the territory of Hanoi.
Due to the disappearance of Yuan Yao's army, Lu Bu, who was almost crazy, was angry everywhere, and Lu Bu, who had not restrained his subordinates enough, simply let it go.
As a result, Hanoi County was full of plundering and state iron horses, and there was a lot of noise everywhere.
Han Hao, who had just taken over Wang Kuang's career, was very surprised, especially when he saw Lu Bu who was like a mad dog, Han Hao had the urge to scold his mother.
Within a few days, Han Hao frequently heard the news of the loss of the city, but he still didn't know why Lu Bu led the army to attack him, and as soon as he changed his previous style, he was full of firepower.
And while fighting and grabbing, there is no humanity.
Lu Bu's madness in Hanoi County spread throughout the land of Guanzhong within a few days.
After Niu Fu of Anyi City heard Lu Bu's news, he was also confused, and hurriedly found someone to go to Chang'an to find out the news, so that people could find out who Diao Chan was.
The most important thing is that Niu Fu stepped up to let people repair the city.
Lu Bu's indiscriminate attack not only made Han Hao very anxious, but even the other forces around him felt that some people were in danger, and while sending people to inquire about the news, they also sent people to constantly strengthen the city defenses.
......
Yuan Yao's army in the north, after a rest, and hundreds of new recruits, the size of the army reached more than 2,000 people.
After resting for two days, Yuan Yao loaded the surplus weapons and food into the Dujun warehouse, and the recruits could barely follow the army to march together, so Yuan Yao led the army north again.
To the north of Hedong County is Bingzhou, which belonged to the Han Dynasty and was the closest state to the Xiongnu border.
The Xiongnu were divided into two parts more than 100 years ago, and the Northern Xiongnu had a vast territory and occupied most of the grassland, which was on the same page as the Han Dynasty.
The Southern Xiongnu were located in this part of the region close to Bingzhou, and were nominally vassals of the Han Dynasty, and while submitting to the Celestial Empire, they could also help the Han family defend against other foreign tribes.
During this period, the Southern Xiongnu and the Han people had gradually lived together, especially in the very special place of Bingzhou, where the ownership of the prefecture and county was governed by the Han and the Southern Xiongnu.
Until the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han Dynasty was in civil strife, and the Southern Xiongnu, as the younger brother, also followed the civil strife.
The Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu was killed, and the Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo succeeded to the throne, but he could not convince the public, and the other forces of the Southern Xiongnu set up another Shan Yu Hu Chuquan, and neither of them was convinced.
Yufro represents orthodoxy, and Huchuquan is the equivalent of a new leader who opposes the election of the tribe, and each side is in charge.
In addition to beating each other, both of them sent troops to take advantage of the fire to rob when the Han family was in danger.
Relatively speaking, Yu Fuluo was smarter, and when he was robbing, he also sent troops into the pass, while pretending to ask for help from the Han family, while looking for an opportunity to join in.
If Hu Chuquan only wants to manage one acre and three points of land in the Southern Xiongnu, then Yu Fuluo is a very ambitious speculator, while secretly observing the trend of the Han dynasty on the side, he also intends to participate in it, and has the ambition of annexing the world.
It's a pity that Yu Fuluo didn't expect that the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not an ordinary turbulent era, this was an era of heroes and heroes, and with his IQ alone, he was not the opponent of these demons at all.
Now Yu Fuluo has already begun to bet, contacted Yuan Shu of Nanyang County early, and secretly reached an alliance with Yuan Shu without Yuan Yao knowing.
Equally.
Yu Fuluo definitely didn't expect that he had just formed an alliance with Yuan Shu on the front foot, and Yuan Yao on the back foot would lead his troops to do something.
And Yuan Yao is not an ordinary businessman.
Because Liu Ji's strategy is only two words, around!
Whether it is Yu Fuluo or Hu Chuquan, it is the same for Yuan Yao's trip.
The army marched north, and everywhere it passed was desolate, and the entire northern part of Hedong County was bleak under the ravages of Zuoxian King Yufulo.
The sparsely populated villages, the people hiding in the huts like beggars, Yuan Yao could see the fear and trembling in the eyes of these people every time the army passed through a place.
Human life is like a mustard, it is better than that.
"Newspaper—"
"Twenty miles ahead, I found a large group of people, about 3,000 people, and it looked like they were dressed as Han people."
Yuan Yao was on his horse, and the herald hurried over.
"Han Chinese?" Yuan Yao showed a hint of surprise, obviously he didn't expect that there was still an army of Han people here.
"It should be the remnants of the White Wave Thieves, these people occupied the northern part of Hedong County with Yu Fuluo, and indirectly helped the Dong coalition army, which was also one of the reasons why Dong Zhuo failed to move west to Chang'an in Luoyang."
As Lu Bu's subordinate, Zhang Liao was extremely familiar with the situation in Guanzhong, and told some secrets that Yuan Yao did not understand.
"Collusion with the Huns is definitely not a good person, we just hit it!" Yuan Yao thought about it for a while, and then decided to do it directly.
"Lord, today I will show you the first commonly used military formation, the phalanx." Since Yuan Yao decided to attack, Liu Ji, who was in charge of taking over the command on the side, began to explain to Yuan Yao by word and deed.
Beside Yuan Yao, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici all gathered around Yuan Yao, and Xu Chu, who had always been regarded as a guard, became a vanguard.
Liu Ji's explanation, Xu Chu was not interested in it at all, and simply asked to be a pioneer officer, while the other generals were very interested in Liu Ji's words and deeds, and they all gathered around Yuan Yao and became senior bodyguards.
With the waving of the command flag in Liu Ji's hand, the army gradually changed on the way forward, and the cavalry lined up in a square to guard Yuan Yao Gong in it, and directly killed the white wave thief.
"The phalanx pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and the real use lies in the combination of virtual and real, such as this." Liu Ji said calmly in the formation, and the flag in his hand kept turning.
I saw that under the assault of the phalanx in front of me, it suddenly separated to both sides, like an open mouth, releasing Xu Chu and the five hundred guards, like a sharp knife, instantly killing the other party by surprise.
"It can be like this!" Liu Ji casually divided the Lingqi left and right, his eyes looking straight ahead.
The soldiers who had divided the phalanx completely let go of the center, but strengthened the strength on the two flanks, and took advantage of the confusion on the opposite side to break through again, and the army cut the opponent like a trident, and the enemy army was completely scattered.
Seeing Liu Ji's wonderful command, Yuan Yao, who was immersed in the scene, was deeply touched, and the rest of the generals beside him also saw the brilliance in their eyes, and they all had their own gains.
"Lord, I killed the enemy commander Li Le!" After the battle, Xu Chu rode over on a horse with an excited face and threw a man's head on the ground.
"Amazing, amazing, Zhong Kang deserves to be the number one fierce general under the command of the lord!" Yuan Yao hadn't spoken yet, and all the generals on the side congratulated him, praising Xu Chu a little unaccustomed for a moment.
Xu Chu touched his head and smiled.
Yuan Yao rode quietly on the horse, and began to recall Liu Ji's every move just now.
This is also Liu Ji's purpose, to borrow this chaotic battle in the north, so that Yuan Yao has a new improvement in command operations.
