"Send the order to camp here today. The escaped Hulu will definitely tell Shi Hu the news of our army's arrival. If the Hulu's courage is not frightened, they will definitely lead the troops."
Zu Ti immediately ordered his generals to set up a camp based on this village, because the village occupies a sufficient area and can accommodate 3,000 troops with a little expansion. Not to mention that there are wells, pots and stoves in the village. Saved a lot of time.
After his Qingzhou generals took their orders and left, Zu Ti's son Zu Huan came to them.
"Sir, Pingyuan City has been surrounded by Hulu, and the Hulu are ten times more powerful than me. Now that the weather is getting colder, and the Hulu have no baggage, why not set up camp nearby, and then send light cavalry to cruise outside Pingyuan City, so that The defenders of Pingyuan City knew that our army was coming and strengthened their determination to defend the city. If this happens, the barbarians will be afraid of our army and will not dare to attack Pingyuan City with all their strength. Within a month, these barbarians will retreat on their own."
After hearing the strategy offered by his son, Zu Ti shook his head.
"After marching all the way here, I fully understood the strength of Liu Yu's soldiers. Although there were only three thousand soldiers, they were enough to fight tens of thousands of barbarians. Although there are many people in Shihu's army in front, most of them are from the nearby docks. The strong man of the fort.”
"If he cannot defeat his army and forces them to retreat on their own, Shihu will definitely take these young men away. In that case, he will only break the siege of Pingyuan City, but the Hulu will not be harmed at all."
"In this case, what kind of credit does it count?"
Obviously, Zu Ti's goal was not to simply rescue Pingyuan City, because during the march, Zu Ti saw that the three thousand armored soldiers under his command were all in good order and did not fight for the roads or harass the people along the way. the behavior of.
At that time, he knew that these Qingzhou soldiers were definitely rare and powerful soldiers, so the task of supporting the plains requested by Liu Yu before setting off was too simple in Zu Ti's opinion.
After talking to many soldiers in Qingzhou, Zu Ti learned that the soldiers from the three counties of Heji were all brave enough to kill the barbarians and gain military exploits. In the hearts of these soldiers, these barbarians were all in their jobs. , slaves and money and silk, if they can defeat the Hulu, these soldiers will not care about the danger at all, because the experience of several battles tells them that when these Hulu face the military formation with high fighting spirit, those conflicts will The light cavalry had no effective method.
Therefore, Zu Ti was just thinking that no matter what, he could not let these Hu Lu escape. If the Hu Lu fled without fighting, Zu Ti, who only brought two to three hundred cavalry, would have absolutely no way to catch up.
Sure enough, as Zu Ti expected, when the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers finished setting up the camp, the cavalry patrolling the perimeter reported the enemy's situation to Zu Ti.
"General, there are three to four hundred Hulu cavalry coming from the west. They have just arrived five miles away."
When Zu Ti heard this, he quickly led his people to the high platform in the village and looked into the distance.
To the west of the camp, noisy yellow dust was flying into the sky. About three to four hundred cavalrymen wearing Hu uniforms and furs were calmly approaching in the direction of Zu Ti.
The Qingzhou cavalry who were roaming outside on guard launched harassing shots while slowly retreating towards the camp.
"Xu Jin is proceeding with quite some rules. He is not a simple reckless thief."
Seeing these Hulu cavalry from a distance, Zu Ti made an assessment in his mind.
"General, these Hulu are skilled in cavalry and shooting. It seems that our cavalry is no match for them."
Zu Huan on the side whispered.
At this time, dozens of Hulu cavalry also dispersed, using bows and arrows to fight back the harassment of the Qingzhou cavalry, and soon forced the Qingzhou cavalry back step by step.
"The Qingzhou cavalry are good at forming formations to attack, but they are indeed not as skilled at riding and shooting as the Hulu." Zu Ti said.
In fact, Zu Ti knew that the Qingzhou Army also had many cavalrymen who were good at riding and shooting and were composed of refugees from Yanzhao. However, most of them belonged to the Yamen Army and were Liu Yu's guards. They could not be easily assigned to Zu Ti. Used by Ti.
Nowadays, these cavalrymen under Zu Ti are basically composed of good families from the three counties of Heji. Although the cavalry shooting is acceptable, they are not as good as the Hulu in front of them.
At this time, several Qingzhou military generals also came to Zu Ti, ready to obey orders.
But in the face of the approaching Hulu, Zu Ti has been slow to issue any orders.
Finally, a Qingzhou military general couldn't help but ask.
"General, these barbarians are approaching, why don't you give the order to attack?"
Several other generals were also a little confused.
"Yes, General, these barbarians, who only have three or four hundred horses, dare to be so rampant. Why don't we go out to attack them? Even if we shoot them from a distance with rifles and bows, we can definitely kill them all."
In the Qingzhou Army, if you can make good use of a strong bow, you will be treated better than ordinary soldiers.
So even though Zu Ti only led 3,000 soldiers, one-third of them were good at using strong bows.
These more than a thousand soldiers are all versatile in long-range and short-range combat. Each one of them can be worth several people. This is one of the reasons why Zu Ti lamented the strength of Qingzhou's soldiers.
"The thieves are skilled with bows and horses. By the time our troops leave the camp, they may have already run away and cannot be traced." Zu Ti said calmly.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch like this?" A brigade commander of the Qingzhou Army said somewhat depressedly.
When Zu Ti heard this, a slight displeasure flashed in his heart.
In Zu Ti's opinion, these Qingzhou soldiers were all very good soldiers, but their attitude towards Shangguan had always made Zu Ti somewhat dissatisfied.
Although the Qingzhou soldiers were very obedient to military orders, they often argued with their superior officers when the orders were not given clearly. Although it was not a quarrel, in Zu Ti's view, it was a quarrel with the officers and soldiers he had seen in previous decades. Soldiers are very different.
When would those slaves or desperado-like soldiers dare to speak to their officers like this?
"Yes, general, our Qingzhou Army has never been afraid of these barbarians. What's more, these are only three to four hundred barbarians."
Another general also spoke.
"Afraid?" Zu Ti smiled softly upon hearing this.
"Not to mention three or four hundred Hulu, even thirty thousand Hulu, my ancestor Ti would not be afraid."
"Everyone, what I am thinking about is not only the three to four hundred barbarians in front of me, but also the thirty thousand bandit army."
All the generals were stunned when they heard this.
"General, what do you mean by this?"
"I will use a trick to get the barbarians into my trap, and then I will break them down calmly. Not only will I annihilate them all, I will also force them to spit out all the young men they have trapped."
As Zu Ti spoke, he stroked his beard and stared at the three to four hundred Hulu outside the camp.
At this time, the barbarians had begun to shout and shout outside the camp, making bursts of strange shouts to provoke the Qingzhou Army inside the camp.
In particular, one of the barbarian youths wearing fine armor personally went about riding and shooting in conflicts, and drove all the few Qingzhou scouts into the camp for shelter.
Several generals looked at each other in shock after hearing Zu Ti's words.
"But, general, the great general once told us that a strong army is invincible. Pingyuan City is not far away. Kill these thieves who are like mosquitoes and flies in front of you, then march forward in formation, and enter Pingyuan City in a big way. I will Don’t believe it, those barbarians can stop our three thousand armored soldiers!”
"That's right, General. To deal with these barbarians, just form a formation and rush over. What else is needed?"
"Either he dies or I die, but why do some Hulu need to go to such trouble?"
For a time, these military generals, whose highest official position was just that of brigade commander, started talking one after another.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
"You people, do you want to rebel? Now that the general has granted the talisman to General Zu, everything must be obeyed by General Zu. How can you be allowed to talk so wildly?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who spoke turned out to be Liu Xun who was following him. Although Liu Xun was not as good as the weak champion, he was Liu Yu's nephew and had always had military exploits, which he used to suppress these brigade commander-level troops. General, that is more than enough.
After Liu Xun finished speaking, he returned the favor directly to Zu Ti.
"General, everything has been arranged according to your order."
Upon seeing this, Zu Ti praised Liu Xun with satisfaction.
Before the march, Zu Ti thought that Liu Yu arranged for his nephew to join his army to supervise the army. However, he did not expect that Liu Xun, who served as the marching commander, arranged the march in an orderly manner like a veteran. , and also repeatedly defended Zu Ti and helped him restrain those "unruly" Qingzhou generals.
Today, Zu Ti is more and more fond of the young and mature Liu Xun, and even plans to teach Liu Xun all his skills.
