On the grassland under Danhan Mountain. Many people have gathered. It's all stout guys. There are many cattle and sheep. Nomadic tribes are fighting. Cattle and sheep are their food. Kill a sheep when you are hungry. Kill the cow after the sheep has eaten it. but. This time enter the Central Plains battle. Yuan Shao has promised to provide them with food and grass. So they didn't bring too many cattle and sheep. Even if Yuan Shao breaks his promise then. They are not afraid. You can grab it on the spot. Moreover. They had this plan in the first place.
Many people come from all directions every day. During the grazing season. The Xianbei people live very scattered. More than a dozen tents gathered together. There are only one or two tents. It will take a long time to gather these people together.
The person sent by Kuitou has been gone for more than ten days. They first went separately to the larger tribes of Budugen, Fuluohan, Kebineng, Suri, Mijia, and Queji. Then it is divided into dozens of roads. When I saw some scattered tents, I stopped to give an order to sweat profusely. Then continue to the next stop. Never mind that this method is very primitive. It can still spread all over the corners of the grassland.
The herdsmen gathered at the foot of Danhan Mountain have one team per thousand. Set up a camp. These herdsmen are born fighters. Carrying a knife. Holding a bow and arrow. Flying across the grassland. The herdsmen of big tribes like Budugen and Kebineng form a team of their own. Other small tribes and scattered herders are randomly organized together.
past. The Xianbei people also frequently harassed the Han border. But that was concentrated in the winter and spring. At this time, people from all tribes were mostly gathered together. It is easy to organize enough people. It is very rare to gather people and horses in the season of fertile water and grass like now. The herdsmen of the big tribes have their own leaders to restrain. Don't talk nonsense. And those herdsmen who are temporarily organized together. Although the chief of the commander was temporarily assigned by the chief. But it can't stop them from talking together.
Around the campfire. Chew the roast leg of lamb in your hand. A big man with brown hair, a sturdy figure, and a bare chest said dissatisfiedly: "The cattle and sheep in the family are about to give birth. At this time, gather everyone together. I don't know what the profuse sweat thinks."
Xianbei is white. They are all with yellow beards and blue eyes. The big man gave birth to brown hair. They are not from Xianbei. It is the Huns who are attached to Xianbei. Back then, the Northern Huns were defeated by the coalition forces of the Great Han and Southern Huns. More than one hundred thousand people were forced to return to Xianbei. The status of these Huns on the Xianbei grassland is low. Every time they fight and plunder, they take the lead. And every time the property is allocated the least. The allocated pastures are also the worst. But there is no way. The weak eat the strong. This is the law on the grassland.
A person next to him said: "Alding. What's the use of you complaining here. I can't hear you with a lot of sweat. I heard that this time I was helping a Han and another Han. A big scene of hundreds of thousands of people. Hopefully. I can come back alive this time. Actually, I don’t want to fight. In a few days, my wife will have children. I don’t know if I can see my unborn son."
This person is called Yu Wenjing. Although it also grows blonde hair. But he is not a real Xianbei. It comes from a small tribe attached to Xianbei in eastern Liaoning. But the living habits and appearance are similar to those of Xianbei. The status on the grassland is higher than the Huns. This time Kuitou was invited by Yuan Shao to march into the Central Plains. Yuwenbu is also on the list.
"Snapped". A fierce-looking Xianbei came over. A horse whip was drawn on Yu Wenjing's back. Yu Wenjing snorted. Look back. But it was Murong Xiong who was assigned to their team by the chief leader. The Murong tribe is a branch of Xianbei in eastern Liaoning. The power is slightly stronger than the Yuwen tribe. But it did not reach the point of forming a separate thousand-man team. but. The Murong tribe has always been at odds with the Yuwen tribe. Murong Xiong heard this complaint made by Yuwen Jing. He was given a chance to teach others.
Murong Xiong gave Yuwen a whip. Back your hands to the back. Continue to teach: "Da Khan said. This time I enter the Central Plains. You don't need to turn in what you grab. The tribes will leave it alone. Where can you find such opportunities. You still don't know enough. The chicks of the Han have skin like satin Smooth. As long as you fight bravely. Then you won’t want to grab a few. Let them all give you babies. Do you still care about the ugly woman at home? It’s really worthless.”
Mrs. Qian has power over the life and death of her subordinates. Yu Wenjing got the riding whip. Although not in my heart. But he didn't dare to refute it. Had to swallow. Murong Xiong had already headed to other places arrogantly.
People from various ministries in Xianbei are still arriving one after another. The Wuheng tribe on the border of Youzhou has already been assembled. Because the site is small. It is easier for them to assemble. Although the pasture they occupy is far inferior to Xianbei. But the strength should not be underestimated. Just ten days of effort. Wu Heng has assembled an army of 100,000. Under the leadership of Yu Dun, Di Qiao, and Han Lu, prepare to enter Youzhou.
Wu Heng and Xianbei belong to the Donghu branch. They are also white people with yellow beards and blue eyes. But Wuheng's situation is slightly different from that of Xianbei. Xianbei is at the request of Yuan Shao. Wu Heng actually responded to Yuan Shao's call. One word difference. But there is a world of difference.
When Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou. The formation of white horse Yi Cong. Repeatedly defeated the Wuheng tribe. Later, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for Hebei. Solved Wu Heng's dilemma. Wu Heng also sent troops to help Yuan Shao. Attack Gongsun Zan from the north. This led to Gongsun Zan's rapid defeat. and so. Yuan Shao is not only gracious to Wuheng. And it's an ally. Yuan Shao supported Liu Biao. In the name of Han Ting, the three kings of Datun, Nanqiu and Hanlu were appointed as kings. Yu Dun and others received Yuan Shao's call-up order. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw up his army. They really came to help Yuan Shao fight. Not for looting property.
at this time. Xu Huang's family members who were protecting everyone also came to Chang'an. After meeting Liu Xin. So they split up with Pound, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others to prepare to go. Chang'an City has not yet formed a local army. The guards of the three cities of Inner, Outer, and Palace have all been transferred to Feihu's personal guards. The first, second, and third armies have assembled and are ready to go. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao also rushed to Grassland New City. The cabinet and the six central institutions have just been completed. But it works efficiently. The Ministry of Households raises money and food. The Ministry of War allocated military equipment. The whole city of Chang'an was full of chaos.
Standing on the head of Miyagi. Looking at a large group of magnificent buildings in Miyagi. Liu Xin was full of emotion. He put his arms around Ma Yun and said softly: "My empress. I'm afraid there is no time for your canonization ceremony."
Ma Yun smiled and said: "Who is rare. But. Why don't you even have a dragon robe?"
Because the matter is urgent. The ministers of civil and military affairs all went their own way. Not to mention that the canonization ceremony of Ma Yun and others could not be carried out. In fact, even Liu Xin's own coronation ceremony was not held. in fact. Tian Feng, Jusui and the others have already prepared special clothes for Liu Xin, Ma Yun and others. It's just that Liu Xin doesn't like it very much. It was temporarily sealed up.
Liu Xin looked at the distance. Suddenly he said: "After this battle. The big man should be settled. I want to go to the court. But Jushou and Tian Feng didn't agree.
Ma Yun gave him a white glance. Said: "You come on less. This is a large-scale battle. It's no less than the past. Professional people should be asked to help professional things. I think you can save the time."
Wu Hengbu moved quickly. Xianbei's troops have not yet assembled. They have already entered Guangyang County in Youzhou. Arrived in Zhongshan County in a few days. On the way, Yuan Shao helped them with food and grass. There have been no incidents of harassing the villagers on a large scale. However, small-scale looting of property and humiliation of women happened from time to time. The government offices in Guangyang and Zhongshan had only one eye open and one eye closed.
in fact. Don't talk about these foreign troops. Even Yuan Shao's own army passed by. These things are also difficult to avoid. I'm afraid it's more unbearable than those foreign armies.
Both Liu Xin and Cao Cao arranged detailed work in Jizhou. The news that Wuheng's 100,000 cavalry had entered the Han Realm soon came back. For Wu Heng army came so quickly. Cao Cao didn't expect it. Liu Xin didn't expect it either. but. Liu Xin did not directly face the threat of this army. At least if his intentions were not clear. Yuan Shao will not notice his actions yet.
Cao Cao is not the case. If one hundred thousand Uheng cavalry arrive at the front line. His pressure will greatly increase. To know. Large-scale operations. Cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry. And more than a year of war wastage. Cao Cao’s cavalry is only a handful of thousands. The cavalry was already strenuous enough to deal with Yuan Shao. What's more, it is dealing with one hundred thousand Wuheng cavalry.
The battle is fought for this purpose. The cavalry basically lost one less. To know. Warhorse is very difficult to supplement. Compared to war horses. Among the Han people who are mainly farming. Soldiers who are good at riding and shooting are even rarer.
at this time. Cao Jun just used a sneak attack to occupy Liyang City again. The city of Li Yang, which has been fought for many times, is already in dire decay. Several walls have collapsed. The soldiers hurry up to mend it. Cao Cao stood on the tower. Looking at the tired soldier in front of him. His complexion was solemn. The number of Cao Jun is small. But more elite. Cao Cao hadn't expected that this battle would last so long. He wanted to have a peace talk with Yuan Shao a long time ago. It's just unwilling. After occupying Li Yang again this time. He planned to send an envoy to visit Yuan Shao. Take Li Yang as a bargaining chip. Make peace with Yuan Shao.
suddenly. A fast horse galloped. The knight on the horse came to the city. Saddle and dismount. All the way to the head of the city rushed a small road. Come to Cao Cao and knelt down on one knee. Present a letter with both hands. Said loudly: "Prime Minister Qi. Puyang urgent report."
Only Xiangyang can make paper. It has been widely used in Liu Xinjun. But for Cao Cao. This thing is good though. But it is too expensive. and so. Cao Jun still uses traditional bamboo slips for his messages. Although I use cloth when I write a lot of content. but. The letter in front of me was written on expensive Xiangzhi. Only in extreme emergency situations. Xun Yu, who stayed at Puyang, used Xiangzhi to write letters.
