Chapter 281: Guan Yu's Choice
Luoyang, the long optimistic camp, Zhang Fei, who had finished a day's training, was sitting in his own captain's single barracks and was writing letters to Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
After separating from Liu Bei and Guan Yu in Luoyang that day, Zhang Feixian Lake participated in the battles of Hedong and Yanliang in Hanoi, and was promoted from a military marquis to Fenwei Lieutenant, subordinate to the tiger and leopard cavalry of Zhang Liao, the general of Anbei Zhonglang. Zhang Fei wrote a letter to the two not to show off his military exploits, but to return to Luoyang after the end of the war in Hanoi, and to prepare for a large-scale expansion of the army.
Zhang Fei got the news from Zhang Liao, Weitong and others that at present, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry still lacks one captain, Du Peng's Flying Tiger Army also lacks two captains, and Hanoi and Henan Yin both lack Taishou and Juncheng. And Wei Xuan's next target is the Huns in Bingzhou, and the nine counties of Bingzhou may have to replace Taishou, Zhang Fei briefly talked about the war between Wei Xuanjun and Yuan Shao in his letter to Liu Bei, and believed that Wei Xuan would definitely overwhelm Yuan Shao and become the pillar of the Kuangfu Han Dynasty. Compared with Liu Bei's small place in Lu State and surrounded by Golden South County on three sides, it is better to return to Wei Xuanshen???????????????? Bian Lai may be promoted to bacteriostatic Taishou at any time. Zhang Fei came from a middle-class family, and he respected the scholars very much, Wei Xuan invested in the Hedong Wei family, and there were many famous people in Yingchuan under his command, and now Luoyang Academy has Confucians from all states and counties across the country, Zhang Fei's expectations for Wei Xuan are unprecedentedly high.
Zhang Fei's letter to Guan Yu described in detail the two battles of Xiangling's total annihilation of Yufuluo and Hebei's total annihilation of Yanliang, and described the use of cavalry by Wei Xuan and Zhang Liao. Of course, Zhang Fei did not forget to tell about the glorious moment when he easily defeated the soldiers and beheaded Yu Fuluo, and also told about the regret of sweeping Yan Liang down to Rome in three or four moves, making people get up and run away and being picked up by Zhao Yun. Because he killed Yu Fuluo in Xiangling, and finally got a few high-quality horses, Wei Xuan also conveniently divided Zhang Fei's horse, Zhang Fei thought that his mount could now be compared to Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, and he would definitely be able to fight with Lu Bu on the battlefield for 300 rounds.
In the end, Zhang Fei thought that it was too wasteful for a natural cavalry general like Guan Yu to be a lieutenant in a place like Liang State, and he should return to the army, because Wei Xuan was already preparing for the northern expedition against the Xiongnu, and Guan Yu's family was in Hedong and had also been harassed by the Xiongnu. In the end, Zhang Fei used Wei Xuan's poem to encourage Guan Yu in Yique Pass that day, hoping that he could become a cavalry general with him as soon as possible, and be a flying general in the desert.
In order to make him tempted, Zhang Fei also talked about Wei Xuan's arrangements for the whole army in Henan, almost all the soldiers were allocated fields in Henan Yin or Hanoi, at least 20 acres per person, you can ask your family to follow the middle school or entrust it to the government to collect rent, and he as a new lieutenant got 200 acres of fertile land near Luoyang, Zhang Fei has planned to write back to his hometown to let his family come and settle in Henan, because with these worlds you can be a small landlord, And the price of the previously divided mansion in Luoyang City has now increased fivefold. Zhang Fei saw that there was a mansion in Luoyang and fertile land outside the city, even if he died on the battlefield, his family was captured and starved.
From Luoyang to passing by because there was no war, the letter arrived in a few days, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's heart and sighed, he knew that Zhang Fei did not understand his ambitions, if he was replaced by ordinary people who took refuge in Wei Xuan for less than a year, he might become a popular candidate for the county Taishou was already satisfied, but he Liu Bei was not willing to be lonely, from Yuan Shao's capture of Jizhou, Wei Xuanzhan Hanoi It seems that the era of competing for the deer has come, he Liu Bei is not afraid of small chassis, as long as there is a base, he believes that he will one day be able to catch up with Wei Xuan, Yuan Shao and even surpass them.
Liu Bei was reluctant to continue to send people under the fence to turn back to Wei Xuan, but he could also see from Zhang Fei's letters that he might have lost Zhang Fei forever. Guan Yu may be lost next, so Liu Bei wrote another letter to Guan Yu, and said very vaguely in his heart that the various strengths around the country of Lu today are intertwined, and it is a good opportunity for the eldest husband to see Gong Li.
Guan Yu also understood Liu Bei's letters, but Zhang Fei's letters seemed to be attractive, Guan Yu was not much interested in fame, and he did not have the natural closeness of Zhang Fei to a wealthy child like Wei Xuan. But Zhang Fei said that Wei Xuan's next target was the Southern Xiongnu, which made Guan Yu awe-inspired, because if Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao Na Yang were selfish, 700,000 would be safe???????????????? You can ignore Dong Zhuo and the Xiongnu, start with Chenliu or Nanyang first, and even quickly collect Yuzhou.
But to make Longcheng Fei, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain, it is not just a casual emotion, the Huns have been since the pre-Qin period, but the Han people in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally raised their eyebrows, but with the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu gradually went south, and most of today's Bingzhou is occupied by the Huns!
Guan Yu would rather not be a lieutenant, but also want to gallop between the Hun tents with the cavalry. So he wrote back to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and at the same time wrote a letter to Wei Xuan, asking about the time of the army's Northern Expedition, hoping that he would be able to take his own headquarters to accompany the team at that time. He doesn't want awards, nor does he need pensions or anything like that, as long as he can participate in the exhibition, even if he is alone.
In the face of such a hot-blooded young man, Wei Xuan naturally wanted to trade and guide, he said in his reply to Guan Yu that although Guan Yu had 10,000 enemies, he was not just fighting alone, Lu Bu's martial arts were the best in the world, and he couldn't kill anyone under the entanglement of everyone.
Just as Zhang Fei told Guan Yu, Wei Xuan did not hide the bilateral stirrups and horseshoes of his army, Wei Xuan hoped that Guan Yu could go to Luoyang in advance for training and cooperate with the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or the Flying Tiger Army to be familiar with the battle formation.
After several wrinkles, Guan Yu finally replied and decided to go to Luoyang to participate in the training camp after the New Year's Day, which made Wei Xuan happy for a while, and hurriedly asked people to select the best horses from the captured war horses for Guan Yu to prepare, and at the same time, in order to thank Zhang Fei, according to the style of the current weapons of the two of them, Master Pu Yuan re-customized the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Zhangba Snake Spear with full body of fine iron. At the same time, let people prepare a mansion for Guan Yu in Luoyang, and outside Luoyang City, it is natural to divide it into two days according to the rank of the captain, although it may still be important in Guan Yu's eyes. But the relationship between anyone is not slowly established, especially with the influence of Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao, Wei Xuan does not believe that he can't dig Liu Bei, who is far away in Lu State.
There are many people in the Weixuan lineup who wrote letters to their fellow villagers and friends like Zhang Fei, such as Wei Yan, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Du Peng, etc., who were all promoted to lieutenant generals, and Wen Ping, Li Yan, Huo Jun, Su Lie, Yang Ling, Gan Ning, Guan Hai, etc. were also promoted to lieutenants in the pace of the great expansion of the army. After defeating three different enemies in three consecutive wars, Wei Xuanjun's young generals have gradually accumulated experience and confidence, and they are full of fighting spirit for Wei Xuanjun's future planning.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wei Xuan not only treated them personally, but also divided a large number of abandoned fertile fields in Henan Yin to the soldiers, and at the same time gave them a large number of recommended places for Luoyang Academy. Many people who are more flexible in their minds have begun to dream of the rise of the family with their military exploits as the core.
Of course, Wei Xuan reused and promoted them, and solved their worries, of course, they had to pull their relatives and friends to Wei Xuan's side.
In this way, not only the celebrities at home and abroad came to hear the news, thinking that the generals under Wei Xuan were the center of the circle, and young talents and local heroes from all over the world continued to come to Luoyang. Wei Xuan did not refuse to come to them, those who were proficient in martial arts or were physically strong were naturally incorporated into the army, and those who were literate and hyphenated were either sent to the prefecture or sent to the county for internship.
As the grain and grass promised by Yuan Shao gradually arrived, the Luoyang General's Mansion had a big discussion about when to go on the Northern Expedition and how to directly subordinate to the state, except for the Zhonglang generals and ???????????????? The lieutenants, the three strategists of the Wei Xuan Army, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia, as well as the internal affairs talents Zhang Zhao, Xun Yu, and Xun Zhan, as well as the lieutenant generals Wei Yan, Tai Shici, and Zhao Yun who were stationed in Henan, as well as Wei Zheng, the candidate for the Bingzhou Assassin History, and Wang Qiang, the lieutenant who specially trained scouts, had gathered at the Zhengxi General's Mansion for three consecutive days.
The discussion focused on the timing and personnel of the Northern Expedition and the personnel adjustments in the four counties. In the end, on behalf of Wei Xuan, Xi Zhicai took the lead in reading out a preliminary plan after discussion with several strategists and Wei Xuan, Wei Zheng and others.

Expelling the Xiongnu and recovering the state is the established phalanx of the Weixuan group, with the fiasco of Yuan Shao's side and Jizhou bowing its head to continuously transport grain and grass to Hanoi, the biggest problem facing the Weixuan group now is still grain and grass. Although all counties have adopted tuntian, due to the lack of cattle, the efficiency is very low, and there are still many days of desertion in Yin in Henan Province without manpower to cultivate. The west is blocked by the mountains and the other half of the Sili Captain Department controlled by Dong Zhuo, and Yingchuan in the southeast has supported a large number of ploughing cattle to Sanhe, and now it is Bingzhou that can provide a large number of ploughing cattle and horses. Therefore, everyone thought that under the condition of temporary stability in the four states, they could use troops against the Southern Xiongnu in advance.
The crusade against the Xiongnu entrenched in the state is scheduled to be after the summer harvest next year, and the troops dispatched will include all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Flying Tiger Army, as well as most of the troops of Wei Zheng, Tai Shici and Zhao Yunsanzhonglang. In order for the Northern Expedition to be successful, all the troops had to be assembled at least three months in advance in Hedong and Hanoi. Therefore, Zhang Liao and Wei Zheng had to come down from the Taishou position in advance.
Wei Xuan, the candidate for internal affairs, is not worried, with the talent pool of Yingchuan and the young people who are about to graduate from Luoyang Academy, they will gradually be able to rise to the top. Therefore, Wei Xuan decided to take Shi Xunzhan, the head of the general's mansion, as the Taishou of He, Huang Zhong and Tao Sheng to jointly town Hanoi, and Guo Jia as the head of the general's mansion; With Wei Qi as Yingchuan Taishou, Xu Rongzhen guarded Yingchuan, and Wei marked into Funiu Mountain Tuntian; Wei Yun succeeded Xu Rong to guard Taigu, and Cai Gang was the Wen Xi Ling.
Wang Qiang's scout camp entered the territory of Bingzhou half a year ahead of schedule, Wei Zheng led his troops into Hedong ahead of schedule, and Xu Huang and Yang Feng temporarily returned to Luoyang for rotational training. Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Li Yan and Huo Jun, the four lieutenant generals and three lieutenants of Yilang, who guarded the west, were all infantry and remained unchanged, mainly dealing with the raids of the Xiliang soldiers from Hongnong.
