Chapter 354 Hu Che'er went south for emergency

Because there were Han troops instead of the Huangxuan people to guard the cities of Linrong, Woye and Guangmu. Hu Che'er quickly selected 20,000 people from the clan, and after the initial reorganization, he took this group of people south to Baitu, that is, the area where the tribes that formed the Huangxuan tribe settled in those years.

When they arrived at Baitu, Hu Che'er's tribesmen were to undergo a change of clothes and a brief training, and then continued south to Fushi, where they joined the 20,000 cavalry led by LĂź Bu and Guan Yu, and finally scattered the 20,000 tribesmen and expanded into the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army, doubling the number of these two cavalry units.

The young Zhuang people of the Huangxuan tribe have lived on horseback since childhood, in order to resist the annexation and invasion from other nomadic peoples, everyone has to learn archery and horse warfare, and the Southern Huns, Xianbei people, belong to the natural cavalry seedlings, do not need too much training, can have considerable combat power.

In order to give full play to the role of these 20,000 people, Zhao Xing made the decision to expand the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army. Although the temporary expansion of the army will reduce the average combat power of the two cavalry armies, it also has the obvious advantage of allowing the Huangxuan cavalry to exert its maximum combat power in the shortest possible time, which is crucial for the war on the Western Front, where the supply of troops is tight.

At present, on the battlefield of the western front of Bingzhou, the total number of troops invested by Zhao Xing is 64,000 people, that is, 14,000 people in the vanguard army, 10,000 people in the Flying Tiger Army, 10,000 in the Blue Wolf Army, Xiong Zhen Army, Xiongwu Army, and Dingyuan Army. Among them, 20,000 people of the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army were active in the area of Fushi in Shangjun and were confronting the 20,000 people of Gaolan across the Qiangma River; 10,000 of Xiong Zhen's army were stationed in Xiliuzhuang in the southwest corner of Xihe County; and the strength of Zhongyang, the base camp of Gongwei, was only 34,000 people!

With Hu Che'er's emergency support of 20,000 cavalry, there are 40,000 troops in the Zhenbei Army in the Fushi area, if the plan is right, a sudden attack, Gao Ran with 20,000 cavalry is afraid that they will not have time to run back to Gao Nu, and they may be beaten by the combined attack of Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

After coming to Baitu, Qin Yilu, who was in charge of logistics and equipment support, was already waiting here. Qin Yilu brought standard saddles, stirrups, horseshoes, swords, light armor, and crossbows to the 20,000 cavalry. The people of the Huang Xuan clan, who were already good at fighting, immediately rose two levels in combat effectiveness after such a complete armament, and they would not be too far from the most elite Xiliang cavalry under Dong Zhuo.

Despite the tense war on the Western Front and the imminent danger of breaking out, Zhao Xing still ordered Hu Che'er to station 20,000 men in the Baitu area, and they must undergo formal pre-war training before they can finally join the war group. Zhao Xing naturally has his considerations for doing this, although the Huang Xuan people have considerable combat power, but they are rough and do not like to be restrained, and they are prone to personal heroism on the battlefield, and they regard military discipline and laws as nothing, which may cause unpredictable problems.

The instructors who came to train the Huang Xuan people were selected from the middle-level and below officers of the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army, all of whom had rich combat experience and strong ability to lead troops. The Huang Xuan clan they were responsible for training was likely to be the soldiers they were going to lead next, so everyone worked very hard.

During the training of 20,000 Huangxuan people, the battlefield situation on the entire Western Front underwent some partial changes. Lu Zhi, who had been standing still, suddenly ordered the army to march towards Fushi City, which was located in the north of Shangjun, and marched a hundred miles in a few days, only forty miles away from the first Gaolan that came out in advance.

In fact, Lu Zhi just had a premonition that Gao Ran led the cavalry away from the Chinese army, and it was very likely that he would suffer a serious defeat again from the Flying Wolf and Flying Bear armies under Dong Zhuo's command, so he let his own army move closer to Gao Ran, which could be regarded as a peace of mind. In case the 20,000 Yue knights led by Gao Ran were made dumplings, the losses were all the elites under his Lu Zhi.

As soon as Lu Zhi moved, Xu Shu immediately got the news, but he was not in a hurry to evacuate the 10,000 Xiong Zhen army from Xiliuzhuang, but focused more on building fortifications. Lu Bu and Guan Yu, who had been calculating Gao Lan, heard the report of their subordinates that they had found that Lu Zhi's army was moving towards the Qiangmashui area, so they canceled the battle plan against Gao Lan's 20,000 cavalry, and waited for Hu Che'er to lead his clan to converge. With 40,000 people active in the Fushi area, Lu Bu and Guan Yu would not be afraid of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's army of more than 200,000.

Zhao Xing, who had just received the news that Hu Che'er was leading his army south, had not had time to be happy for a few days, and suddenly received an urgent military information from the Shadow Team members from the northern prairie. Intelligence showed that a large number of Xianbei people were found heading south five hundred miles north of the surrendered city, and the targets seemed to be Shuofang and Wuyuan. Zhao Xing's faint uneasiness finally became a reality, and the bad situation of being attacked by the enemy in his abdomen and back still happened uncontrollably.

In the face of difficulties, Zhao Xing has always been more and more courageous, knowing that the leader who had been hidden for seven years was finally going south, Zhao Xing immediately notified Hu Chuquan and Li Tiezhu, who were responsible for defending the north, and issued an emergency conscription order at the same time, recruiting 50,000 reserve troops in the whole territory of Bingzhou, and the current 50,000 reserve troops were all converted into formal troops, and 30,000 of them were urgently sent north to defend the front line of the Great Wall.

In order to defend against the invasion of the Xianbei people in the north, after discussion in the base camp, the northern division of the Zhenbei Army was temporarily established, and Xu Huang was appointed as the supreme military commander and Tian Feng as the military advisor. Li Tiezhu, Hu Chuquan, Wu Anguo and others were respectively responsible for the specific defense of the three counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan and Yunzhong, of which each was allocated 10,000 original reserve troops in the emergency north.

After making these arrangements, Zhao Xing wrote another letter to Liu Yu of Jinyang, discussing with him to second, Qi Zhou, Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, and Xian Yuyin, the staff of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, to assist the Zhenbei Army in the defense of Yanmen County and Dingxiang County. Zhao Xing believed that in the case of foreign invasion, Liu Yu would still be able to weigh the priority of the matter, and would not deliberately embarrass himself in this matter. With the abilities of Yan Rou and Xian Yufu and others, if they really do things for Bingzhou, they can definitely ensure the peace of the two northeastern counties of Bingzhou.

Although Zhao Xing carefully analyzed all the difficulties and dangers he could think of, he still missed Xianbei in Liaoxi, which is located in the northeast of Yanmen County, Bingzhou, and Zhang Yan, a mountain thief entrenched in the Black Mountain. At present, the troops in the northern part of Bingzhou are mainly concentrated in the Wuyuan area, and the troops in Yanmen County and Dingxiang County in the northeast are empty, and once they are besieged by the enemy, the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse, and there will be no time to rescue.

Although Zhao Xing seems to be a little contemptuous of the defense in the northeast of Bingzhou, there are still some smart people who have been paying attention to this direction. For example, Zhao Yun, who once went deep into Montenegro, and Zhang Liao and Guo Jia, who disappeared again.

Zhao Yunzhen guarded Huguan, in fact, he was the supreme commander of the Eastern Division of the Zhenbei Army, he did not only focus on Zhu Jun in Guangping City, and the security and defense of the entire eastern region of Bingzhou were within his consideration. Black Mountain Zhang Yan is a force that Zhao Yun has always been not very worried about, not long ago, Tong Yuan, who had never shown up, suddenly came out of the mountain and went to Huguan to see Zhao Yun in person, and then disappeared again.

After Zhao Yun saw his master, he immediately sent a letter to Gao Shun in Crouching Tiger City, suggesting that Gao Shun arrange part of his troops to go to the Yangqu area to prevent a possible invasion by the Montenegrin army. It was Zhao Yun's very timely letter that not only saved the lives of the people in several counties in the eastern part of Bingzhou, but also avoided the final failure of the defense of Bingzhou.

Since Zhang Liao and Guo Jia also saw the weakness of the defense in the northeast of Bingzhou, what would they do?
