Chapter 67: Lu Bu who carried the black cauldron
After a small episode, Yuan Yao inadvertently unlocked a new ability, and Xu Chu was able to unexpectedly break through to the top general, which can be regarded as a lot of gains.
For three days in a row, the army trained hard in the mountains and forests, and at the same time, they also enjoyed fantastic treatment.
Since the cattle and sheep could not be taken away, Yuan Yao simply made all the cattle and sheep into rations, so that the soldiers could eat hot meat after training.
gradually got along, whether it was the white wave thief, the captured Han slaves, or Xu Rong's Xiliang veterans, or even Yuan Yao's original personal guards, they all gradually integrated together.
After all, this is an era of war, even if they are soldiers, they can only barely mix a mouthful of food, like Yuan Yao, who eats thousands of cattle and sheep in three days, such a luxurious way to eat, these soldiers are the first time since they became soldiers.
In the early morning, the valley was fresh and refined, and Yuan Yao stood on a conspicuous large bluestone and began the pre-war mobilization.
"Brothers, we're done with meat!"
"But I haven't eaten enough, and I'm sure you haven't eaten enough, just like me!"
"But don't worry."
"Do you see the Great Wall behind me? On the other side of the Great Wall, there are more tribes, and more beef and mutton are waiting for us. β
"In order to live every day like yesterday, then you can take up arms and make a big fuss with me!"
"All the troops are leaving!"
As a member of the nine-year education, Yuan Yao is effortless to do this kind of sensational thing, as simple as writing homework.
With a wave of Yuan Yao's hand, the army slowly greeted the morning dew, crossed the pass of the Great Wall, and pounced directly on the mysterious prairie.
......
At the same time, the Dongqiang people in the west of Xihe County also noticed that a tribe had been plundered, and it was unreservedly destructive, and the methods used by the other party were cleaner and more thorough than those of the Qiang people who had always lived by plundering.
As a result, the Dongqiang people stationed in the west of Xihe County were completely fried, and the leaders of each tribe were very angry.
At this time, the Qiang people were very strong, but they were not the kind of wall grass in the Three Kingdoms period, they had just dragged down the Han Dynasty in the long-term war with the Han Dynasty, these Qiang people were at the peak of their lives, and they were naturally not ordinary pride.
We Qiang people have never been the only ones who bully others, when will it be the turn of others to come and spread wild?
At this time, the Qiang people, who had quietly fled from the ransacked tribe, told a great news.
Among the people who plundered them, many of them actually spoke the language of the Southern Xiongnu, and it was obvious that these plundered Qiang people thought that the Southern Xiongnu had done it.
Among the Southern Xiongnu tribes, near Xihe County, the only ones who can gather a strong team in time are the Xiutu tribe, which has always been not afraid of heaven and earth.
So, there is only one murderer!
Beasts of the Hutu tribe, wait to bear the boundless wrath of the Qiang people!
Under the anger of the masses, the various tribes of Dongqiang quickly gathered their soldiers, organized a cavalry team of nearly 10,000 people, and drove to Xihe County.
......
On the grassland, Yuan Yao led 3,000 iron horsemen all the way to the north, while He Shen was constantly collecting news brought back by scouts from all walks of life.
The nomads of the steppe are different from the Han Dynasty, these nomads are mobile themselves, and the tribe will gradually migrate with the change of the environment, so a large number of scouts need to be sent on the grassland to explore intelligence.
"Lord, not far ahead is the Xianbei tribe, which belongs to the power of Budugen." He Shen said the information he had compiled after collecting the information.
"Xianbei?" Yuan Yao only thought about it for a moment, and then led the army to kill all the way.
Qiang people, Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu, this place is really chaotic, Yuan Yao sighed in his heart.
In fact, Yuan Yao didn't know that the merger at this time was far more complicated than he imagined.
In addition to the current understanding of the forces, there are also the half-official and half-bandit Black Mountain Army, and the Wuhuan people who were defeated by Gongsun Zhan, which can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, and the chaos is completely out of order.
When he first came to the grassland, Yuan Yao did not directly attack the Xianbei tribe from a distance, but still waited patiently until the evening according to the method of dealing with the Qiang tribe.
Even at night, the prairie seems to be much more empty, and the whirring night wind makes people shiver.
With an order, the army attacked at the sound of horses' hooves.
The sound of killing broke the calm of the steppe.
"Who are you who dare to do it to us?"
"We are the leader of the tribe of Budugen, no matter who you are, you will be retaliated against by the Xianbei warriors!"
On the battlefield, an elderly man shouted loudly in anger under the night attack of the army, mixed with the cold wind that made people's hearts tremble.
"Haha, is our powerful Xiutu tribe still afraid of you Xianbei people?"
"If you have the ability, let's try it and see how we entertain your leader!"
He Shen still sent a lot of spies to mix in the soldiers and shout rampantly in Xiongnu dialect, completely ignoring the old man's words, combined with the fighting of the army, it seemed more and more unscrupulous.
It wasn't until dawn that Yuan Yao's army ended all this in the early morning light of the sky, and the entire Xianbei tribe was slaughtered except for a few people who fled.
What Yuan Yao didn't expect was that Yuan Yao liberated thousands of Han slaves in this tribe, and all of these people joined under Yuan Yao's persuasion, and suddenly expanded the number of men and horses under his command to more than 4,000 people.
If it weren't for the resistance of the Xianbei warriors and the casualties, I'm afraid Yuan Yao would have had a team of nearly 5,000 people at this time.
Skillfully loading the materials into the warehouse of the faint king, Yuan Yao ordered people to continue to wander the grassland with a large number of cattle and sheep, but this time the team was much larger.
......
Zhongyang County, Xihe County.
As soon as Lu Bu arrived with 5,000 cavalry, he discovered a fact that puzzled him, that there was not much food and grass in his army.
Lu Bu is not like Yuan Yao, he didn't have a mobile granary with him, and the repeated battles and long-distance marching made him fall into the predicament of lack of food in an instant.
As a native of Bingzhou, Lu Bu was once the most powerful trump card among the wolf riders under Ding Yuan, so he naturally knew the situation in Bingzhou very well.
Not only that, because Lu Bu's image of being brave and invincible in Bingzhou was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many foreigners gave him the title of a flying general.
The lack of food is actually not a big problem for Lu Bu, who likes to work hard.
As long as there are soldiers in hand, robbery or something, he Lu Bu likes to do it the most.
After being stationed in Zhongyang County for less than two days, LΓΌ Bu determined the target of the plunder, Hugh Tu tribe.
......
The Xiutu tribe, as the most powerful Southern Xiongnu tribe in Xihe County, also sensed that something was wrong after being beaten by the mad dog-like Dongqiang people in retaliation.
Especially when he learned that someone was actually doing evil under the banner of their Hutu tribe, the leader of the Hutu tribe was extremely angry.
Someone actually carried his banner and did what he wanted to do the most, isn't this a business robbery?
The most important thing is that he was framed for no reason.
This also made the leader of the Hutu tribe wonder in his heart: where did a strange group of people and horses come out of nowhere, so hateful!
At this time, Lu Bu, who was in a food crisis, led five thousand iron horsemen to the door.
Just hit the muzzle.
