Let's say that that day, Sun Ce and others went all the way north, and Ding Ling's captives took them to the Ding Ling tribe. When they arrived, Sun Ce, Wei Yan, Ma Chao and others led their own elite legions and the military soul legion lent to them by Gao Shun and attacked directly. Go up.
This kind of almost crushing combat power, not to mention the Ding Ling tribe that has lost King Ding Ling, three internal Qi separated generals, and a large number of elite cavalry, even if the Ding Ling tribe in its prime state is attacked by such a powerful legion, I'm afraid that if you don't take complete precautions, you may be taken away by a wave.
Therefore, the Ding Ling people in the north were forcibly demolished by Sun Ce and others without any effective defense.
After taking away the Ding Ling tribe, there were no less than 200,000 young captives. Sun Ce was not very murderous. After killing all the thorns among them who dared to resist, he took the more than 200,000 captives and began to go south.
It was also at this time that Wei Yan was the first to discover that there were some other barbarians on the grassland. After catching a group of them, he finally figured out what was going on.
When Hu Yanchu went south first, Kunwan, the right virtuous king of the Northern Huns, continued to recruit Zahu in the north to provide cannon fodder for the Northern Huns.
This method of gathering was extremely crude. It was almost like extracting the young men from the tribe we met earlier, and killing those who dared to resist. With the strength of the Northern Huns, most of the Zahu tribes succumbed after being found.
After the young people were taken away, the second wave of Northern Huns came back and wiped out the tribes that had completely lost their fighting capacity, and then took away all the edible things in the tribes and used them as military rations. This is why the Northern Huns had no shortage of military rations. reason.
It was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net in this way. Many of the miscellaneous people who escaped the disaster either informed the tribes they were interested in or banded together to avoid the Huns as much as possible.
It is precisely because of this that although the northern grasslands were severely damaged by the Huns this time and could not even recover for decades, it was not possible for the Zahu to be completely defeated.
Wei Yan discovered this situation and immediately informed Sun Ce. Without thinking, Sun Ce took more than 200,000 prisoners and began to capture prisoners. Others had to accept this. Sun Ce was simply acting wantonly and was a disgrace to the Han Dynasty. The room is now overwhelming, otherwise the prisoners would have rioted long ago.
As a result, more and more people were captured, and they were captured further and further away. After wiping out a few more tribes, the number of prisoners was enough to collect 300,000. At this point, Sun Ce couldn't move faster even if he wanted to, and in the end he was forced to be slowed down. increased marching speed.
Fortunately, there were no enemies in the Han Dynasty at this time, and Sun Ce did not have any important military matters. Otherwise, if there were so many prisoners and they had to march quickly, Sun Ce would really not know how to deal with them.
"We have captured so many prisoners. How will we deal with them then? Including those we captured from the Northern Huns, we have probably captured five to six million prisoners." Ma Chao looked at the vast number of captives behind him with a look of confusion on his face. have no choice.
"Lang Sha, go back and leave it to Chen Zichuan." Sun Ce said unceremoniously. Anyway, he didn't have any solution, but he knew who could.
"But there is really no way to continue like this. The speed is too slow. I don't know how many days it will take to get back." Guan Ping looked at Sun Ce and Ma Chao helplessly and said.
"It's already like this. There is no choice. Even if it takes another ten days, we have to get these people back. Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted." Wei Yan also had a headache, but it took a lot of effort to get them back. It is really impossible to throw away the hundreds of thousands of prisoners captured!
"We can only grind it slowly like this." Huang Xu said with a distressed look on his face.
"It's nothing, don't be too anxious." Ma Zhong said completely nonchalantly. At this point, everything he said was nonsense. It was better to quickly find a way to get these prisoners back.
"Oh, I was so happy to catch him." Xiahou Ba sighed.
"It will be worth a lot even if you take it back and sell it, so you'd better go back and don't waste time." Qi Dong said helplessly, "A prisoner costs ten to twenty thousand, and there are more than 300,000 prisoners behind him, and the five wealthy merchants No one can directly spend so much cash."
No one felt any displeasure after hearing this. All this behind them was money, real money.
"But what does Chen Hou want so many prisoners for?" Xia Houlian asked curiously.
"I don't know. I just remember that Chen Hou is always short of people all year round." Ma Zhong looked up to the sky for a while and said. If he remembers correctly, he could see the recruitment list made by Chen Xi every year. Wen, and Chen Xi doesn't care what type of people he recruits, as long as they are young and strong.
"It's probably about building roads and canals." Guan Ping thought for a while and said. He remembered that someone told him related things, but he didn't listen carefully.
"Hey, do you have any anecdotes or anything? Let me tell you. I don't know how many days this journey will take. It's all nonsense." Ma Chao sighed and said.
"I said, if you have this time, you'd better quickly find a way to warm up a spear. Several of your spears have been broken." Sun Ce squeezed Ma Chao's spear, and a fingerprint appeared on the barrel of the gun.
"You guy!" Ma Chao was furious. He had been nurturing this spear for several days, and Sun Ce had another weak point when he played with it like this.
Guan Ping, Wei Yan, Xiahou Ba and others saw this scene and left voluntarily, leaving the place to the two of them. Sun Ce and Ma Chao were so competitive that they inevitably had to fight several times every day.
Soon the two people's roars, curses, and fighting sounds spread throughout the countryside. Guan Ping and others shook their heads repeatedly. Sooner or later, these two guys will fall out. Every time they fight, they greet each other in the face. Beat the opponent until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen.
After half a stick of incense, when the two fell down, Guan Ping and others could only rely on their armor to recognize each other. Both of them were swollen from the beating.
"Sun Bofu, wait!" Ma Chao roared at Sun Ce, waving his half-cut spear, "After I warm up the spear, I will make you look good!"
"We'll talk about it after you're warmed up." Sun Ce stretched out his hand and broke off the tip of Ma Chao's broken spear. Ma Chao was so angry that he wanted to fight Sun Ce again. Fortunately, Guan Ping and Wei Yan each held one back, otherwise they would definitely fight again on horseback. A fight.
"Don't think that you can be arrogant just by subduing a Fei Huang." Ma Chao still refused to let go of Sun Ce when he was being dragged by Wei Yan.
"What's wrong with me being so arrogant? You come and beat me! Am I afraid of you?" Sun Ce mocked. Recently, he often flirted with Ma Chao. Ma Chao had no use for his spear recently. Without the weapon, his combat effectiveness dropped by 20%. He was beaten several times by Sun Ce. Second-rate.
"Just wait, when I get my weapon, I will definitely deal with you." Ma Chao said with blazing eyes. He had broken several spears recently. Half of the reasons for the breakage of these spears were on him, and the other half was due to him. On Sun Ce's body.
Ma Chao was going crazy at this time. He had been dealt a tough hand by Sun Ce recently, and it was because he always got into trouble with Sun Ce when he made a fool of himself.
Just when Ma Chao was thinking about going back and learning the powerful secret technique of warming and nourishing from Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was riding his horse towards the junction of Sili and Bingzhou.
When we passed through Yanmen County and Dingxiang County along the way, we saw harmony at first glance. However, after leaving Yanmen County and entering Xihe, it was really deserted, and occasionally one or two villages were in ruins.
"Zilong, run slower, don't move at this speed from here on." Fazheng warned immediately when he saw that Zhao Yun was still moving at an alarming speed after entering Xihe County in Bingzhou.
"I'm going to kill them." Zhao Yun said with cold eyes.
"However, if you run over like this, our soldiers will be quite tired. Although the Southern Huns are at the level of Zahu, and Baima is congenitally restrained by Zahu, if they are too tired, unnecessary losses will still be caused. Yes." Fazheng consoled him.
Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this. He was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to good advice. He was just furious because of the tragic elephant in Bingzhou. He was furious for a while, but calmed down after being corrected by the law.
"Xue Shao, lead an army of 1,000 white horses from the left, and put more reconnaissance cavalry to ensure that our army will not be ambushed by the Southern Huns. Li Tiao, you also lead 1,000 white horses, advance from the right, and also put more reconnaissance cavalry." After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and saluted, and then led their own troops to quickly disperse from Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's headquarters then slowed down slightly, and continuously sent out reconnaissance cavalry to investigate. However, the information gathered made Zhao Yun a little puzzled. The remains left after the tribe's garrison was burned were much worse than the ruins after the village was destroyed. More.
Only Fazheng muttered twice after hearing the words. Fortunately, Fazheng also knew that there were some words not to be said, so he just recited them silently in his heart twice.
Fazheng thought silently, but he would never say anything like this. Even if the truth was true, he would pretend that nothing happened.
"The whole army has a rest and has a hot meal." Zhao Yun led his troops passing by the ruins of an ancient town and found that the wells here had not been filled in. After thinking about it, Zhao Yun estimated the distance between here and there, Bingzhou and The junction of Sili and Sili was not too far away, so we planned to let all the soldiers have a hot meal to replenish their physical strength, so as to avoid being unable to keep up with their physical strength by eating dry food all the time.
"This place is about a hundred miles away from the Sili border. With the speed of the white horse, we should be able to reach it tonight. I plan to send a team of people to determine the location in advance." Zhao Yun said to Fazheng.
"What should be done at this time is that it seems that the Southern Huns are very slack and did not leave the ambush behind us that we were worried about." Fazheng said with a smile. He has now understood the psychology of the Southern Huns.
"Then how about we take a break after dinner and then go south?" Although Zhao Yun is the coach, he is still willing to follow Fazheng's suggestions in terms of war planning.
"No, the reconnaissance cavalry can go south in advance, but most of them still need to rest more." Fazheng thought for a while and rejected Zhao Yun's proposal.
"Why is this?" Zhao Yun asked puzzledly.
"Because our army is only more than a hundred miles away from the border between Bingzhou and Sili, and with the marching speed of the white horse, even if we maintain our physical strength, we can reach this distance steadily after taking a full rest." Although Fazheng said it carelessly. , but the fact that his record can be improved so fiercely is enough to illustrate his ability.
"Should we continue marching at night?" Ma Yunlu, who was chatting with Lu Qiling, suddenly asked.
"Yes, rest more now. Then we will rush all the way. We will arrive at the junction of Bingzhou and Sili at almost the second watch. If my expectations are correct, Cao Zixiu should be setting up defenses in Qiyuan County." Fazheng nodded and said.
For Zhao Yun's personal guards, Fazheng expressed great resentment. What were these two vases used for? It is really a question whether Zhao Yun will protect the personal guards or the personal guards will protect Zhao Yun. In view of Zhao Yun's cautious character and the ability to know soldiers. People, no one with integrity would say such things.
Of course, on the one hand, Fazheng is really unwilling to provoke these beautiful women. Jiang Ying is very satisfied with Fazheng's marriage. Although she is only averagely beautiful, if she really needs a concubine, Fazheng said , even someone with Cai Zhaoji’s appearance can be found with his status.
It's just that it's just a decoration. Without the support of talent and ability, it's just a plaything. Except for the two queens, none of the women on the list of strange women are parallel imports. Well, even if the ones behind them are removed. Status, transformed into a man, is strong enough to have the talents of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, and weak enough to be able to securely guard a county.
As for women who practice martial arts, Fazheng usually curls his lips. It's because of his innate disadvantages. Therefore, when it comes to Ma Yunlu and Lu Qiling, Fazheng has an expressionless face. Although these two are quite capable of fighting, Fazheng just looks at them. .
"What if Cao Zixiu is defeated?" Zhao Yun asked, "If we waste time like this, won't we delay the military plane?"
"If Cao Zixiu is defeated, the Southern Huns will definitely be hacked to death by Xun Wenruo's backhand." Fazheng curled his lips. He didn't believe that in Chang'an, Zhong Yao, Sima Yi, and the Yang family were just salted fish. Just talking about Zhong Yao, how many years has that guy been serving as minister?
"So, if we rest now and count the days, today's moonlight is enough for fighting. Although the moon will be gone by the third watch, by the second watch, we can still kill people with the moonlight." Fazheng explained to Zhao Yun.
"Then listen to the French military advisor and rest here for two hours before leading his troops south." Zhao Yun heard what Fazheng said and understood what Fazheng meant. "But if you say so, are we going to launch a night attack at night?"
"Night attack?" Fazheng raised an eyebrow, "It's not a night attack, it's to kill the Southern Huns."
"Kill the Southern Xiongnu?" Zhao Yun was slightly startled. White Horse is indeed an elite elite with extremely high combat effectiveness, but to kill hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu, it's just a dream! (To be continued.) m.
