"Huo Polu?"
"Such a young general?"
"Can you take on the heavy responsibility?"
Empress Liang Zhao frowned a little, not that she judged people by their appearance, or looked down on young people, but simply felt that Zhou Zhenwen was taking too many risks and trusting too much by entrusting such an important task to a young man in his weak years.
Veterans have veteran experience, which young people do not have.
Of course, correspondingly, the veteran's formation and conduct style have long been formed into habits and are difficult to change. Naturally, they are not as bold and enterprising as young people.
"Wait a minute, Zhou Zhenwen just said that you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while... He has been training this person?"
"Training cavalry who are good at fighting?"
"Has he been preparing to deal with the Sirius Kingdom all these years?"
Thinking of this, Empress Liang Zhao was somewhat relieved.
Now, the empress Liang Zhao is no longer willing to think of Zhou Zhenwen as a treacherous minister or a treacherous minister. This has undergone an earth-shaking change in her mentality from the beginning.
Although deep down in her heart, Empress Liang Zhao was still a little wary and defensive about such an uncontrollable minister, but she was no longer as eager to deal with him as she was at the beginning.
"If you can be one step faster than ordinary people, you are already a genius."
"If you take five steps quickly, you are a rare talent in the world."
"But this Zhou Zhenwen is ten steps ahead. His thinking is too advanced."
Empress Liang Zhao sighed sincerely.
She really couldn't imagine that Zhou Zhenwen, at such a young age, could actually fight for power in the court, face the Queen Mother's methods and the late emperor's fear, create such a large Tsing Yi Party, and on the other hand, train cavalry and talents, in order to Prepare to deal with the Sirius Kingdom...
This is simply inhumane! !
[Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the four armies captured three cities. Only the city that Wei Guogong was responsible for failed. Before it was captured, Wu Shangyong, the Minister of War, General Zhongwu, and General Dingwu all captured a city. 】
[On the other side, Huo Polu has led three thousand Qingqi, passing through Qingzhou, and quietly entered the Huangmu Grassland. 】
[Captain Tuoba Cavalry: What tribe are you from? Why are you wandering around here? (Nomad language)]
[Huo Polu replied naturally: We are from the Guyue tribe, and we are patrolling all the grassland tribes under the orders of the Khan! ! 】
"Um?"
"This Huo Polu actually knows Tuoba language?"
Empress Liang Zhao was greatly surprised. The Kingdom of Sirius is a multi-ethnic country. The languages among the tribes are complicated and extremely difficult to pronounce. After the unification of the Sirius Khan, although he ordered everyone to learn the language of the Sirius tribe, many tribes still He is accustomed to using the language of his own tribe, and just now the Tuoba Cavalry Commander used the Tuoba language.
It is really surprising that Huo Polu, at such a young age, can actually speak Tuoba language.
[Captain Tuoba Cavalry also showed a hint of surprise, then changed his language and said in Sirius language: Gu Yue Tribe? Why do you know the language of our Tuoba tribe? 】
[Huo Polu laughed and said fluently in Sirius language: Haha, my grandmother is from the Tuoba tribe, and my mother also knows Tuoba language. He taught me it! 】
[Captain Tuoba nodded: But looking at your appearance, you don’t look like us Sirius people. You are fair and clean, but you look a bit like the Wilderness...]
[Huo Polu’s expression remains unchanged: That’s because I also have part of the Great Wilderness bloodline! 】
[Captain Tuoba Cavalry: That’s it, no wonder! ! You just said you were ordered by the Khan, do you have any proof? 】
[Huo Polu nodded: Of course there is, I will show you...]
[After saying this, Huo Polu put his hand into his arms, as if he was taking out something. 】
[Captain Tuoba also looked at him, waiting for his credentials. 】
【Whoosh! 】
[However, the next moment, a bright cold light suddenly appeared. 】
[The cold blade slashed the Tuoba Cavalry Commander's throat at an extremely fast speed. 】
[Captain Tuoba Cavalry fell to the ground directly! 】
[As the Tuoba cavalry commander fell to the ground, the cavalry under Huo Polu pulled out their arrows and started firing volleys at the Tuoba cavalry! ! 】
【Whoosh whoosh whoosh...】
[A rain of arrows falls. 】
[The Tuoba cavalry suffered heavy casualties. 】
[Until this moment, the Tuoba cavalrymen realized that these cavalrymen wearing prairie clothes were enemies. 】
[The Tuoba cavalry lost their leader, but with experience, they began to retreat and shoot arrows to counterattack. 】
【Disperse! ! 】
[Huo Polu was already prepared. With an order, the cavalry dispersed and began to surround the Tuoba cavalry in an encirclement posture. 】
[The Tuoba cavalry lost their leader, and their best guerrilla tactics were restricted. They were completely defeated by the Huo cavalry's repeated attacks! ! 】
[Huo Polu: Count the number of people, collect supplies, take no prisoners, leave no one behind, pack lightly and travel lightly! ! 】
【yes! ! 】
[Under Huo Polu's order, the cavalry did not hesitate to kill the Tuoba cavalry who kept begging for mercy. 】
[Huo Polu: Leave the arrows and weapons of the Guyue Tribe behind! 】
【yes! 】
[Huo Polu: Keep moving forward. 】
Looking at Huo Polu's commanding style, Empress Liang Zhao had an eye-opening feeling. It turns out that cavalry can still be used in this way?
"This Huo Polu is indeed a rare general!!"
"The cavalry under my command are also as good as ten!!"
"Just now, whether it is cavalry shooting, tactics, or formation siege, I have already performed it to the extreme. I am not inferior to the Sirius Cavalry at all!!"
"Such a cavalry must cost a lot!!"
Empress Liang Zhao sighed: "No wonder Zhou Zhenwen dared to let Huo Polu lead three thousand cavalry to go deep alone..."
The encounter just now was a complete massacre! !
The Tuoba cavalry, who are said to be the most capable in fighting, were as good as paper under the cavalry led by Huo Polu, breaking into pieces at a touch.
Empress Liang Zhao carefully recalled the encounter just now, and murmured: "The most important reason for this is that the general was killed, unprepared, and in disarray. Only then was Huo Polu's cavalry so easily defeated. Total annihilation!"
"If Commander Tuoba Cavalry had noticed something was wrong and had taken precautions, he would probably have to kill a lot of people if he wanted to completely wipe out this 3,000-man cavalry force."
[In the next month, Huo Polu continued to act as the cavalry commander of various tribes, wandering around the wilderness grassland, killing 20,000 to 30,000 people, including 14,000 cavalry. 】
[This move also caused suspicion among the various tribes, and some of them suspected that Dahuang had done something wrong. 】
[However, the various tribes have their own evil intentions. They are dissatisfied with surrendering to the Sirius tribe and becoming part of the Sirius Kingdom. As a result, they are even more worried that this is a way for the Sirius Khan to clean up the tribe. So people were notified one after another that those who were grazing outside should return to the tribe as soon as possible and be on full alert to prevent being attacked. 】
[This makes it difficult for Huo Polu to find opportunities. 】
[The tribes were unable to retreat and sent out scouts to patrol. This made the Huo Polu cavalry wandering on the grassland quite conspicuous. 】
[There are also mutterings and suspicions among the tribes, and they secretly communicate with each other and ask about this matter. 】
[Tuoba Tribe: Have you found a strange cavalry? 】
[Gu Yue Tribe: Is it about two to three thousand? Been hanging around Corchi Drag? 】
[Huyan Tribe: Not bad! I think something is wrong with them. They don’t seem to be very familiar with the terrain of the grassland...]
[Dugu Tribe: Do you think this cavalry is the murderer of random murders during this period? 】
[As soon as these words came out, all the tribes became vigilant, and some people started to go to Changshengtian to inquire about the Tianlang tribe. 】
