If there are other options, Huo Qubing is actually not the best candidate to play.
The human relationship behind Huo Qubing was too complicated, and many generals advised Yue Fei to choose another good general.
However, in Yue Fei's heart, Huo Qubing is the most suitable one. Moreover, Huo Qubing also tried his best to fight for this opportunity. Therefore, in the end, Huo Qubing still got this opportunity.
As a result, 30,000 Qiang cavalry and 10,000 Jin army cavalry left the Central Plains under the leadership of Huo Qubing.
However, with the war on multiple fronts, Yue Fei could not provide more generals for Huo Qubing, so he only had five generals: Deng Feng, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Geng Gong, Huang Tianxiang, and Huang Tianhua, plus the original four generals of the Huang family, a total of nine Will set off with Huo Qubing.
On a dark and windy night, Huo Qubing's 40,000 cavalry came out of Jingxiang, bypassed Zhao Kuangyin's heavy troops, and headed back toward Yuzhou.
Because Zhao Kuangyin was diverted by Yue Fei's plan, he didn't have time to stop Huo Qubing's troops with the army. By the time Zhao Kuangyin realized something was wrong, Huo Qubing had already rushed dozens of miles away.
At this time, if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to pursue him again, he would only have to eat dust.
Zhao Kuangyin knew what was going on when troops left the Central Plains. Moreover, it was not his fault alone. After Huo Qubing and his troops entered the Central Plains, all three of them in the Central Plains were unlucky. princes.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's first thought was to contact Cao Cao and Chi You and gather the strength of the three princes to solve this crisis.
However, Cao Cao and Chi You had just received the news, and before they even started to meet to discuss countermeasures, news that made their teeth crack was already coming to them.
When Huo Qubing first entered Yuzhou, he divided 10,000 of the 30,000 Qiang troops into ten divisions, each with a thousand men. He did not give them any tasks, but only allowed them to divide into ten directions to perform freely.
Robbery was originally the nature of nomadic peoples, and there was no need for Huo Qubing to teach these Qiang people about this. Even in this aspect, it is Huo Qubing who should learn from him.
Huo Qubing only needed to tell them to avoid the Han army when they encountered it, and the proceeds from the looting would belong to them. These Qiang people could already do the job!
There are only a thousand people in each group, which may not seem like many, but plundering some villages and towns can be said to be as easy as a storm.
Even those counties can still eat them with their strength. However, there is no need to attack the county seat. It is a waste of time and the benefits are not proportional to the risks.
Moreover, one of the most important methods of siege by the nomads was to drive the Han people to attack the city. However, if you encounter a hard-hearted person, once they don't accept this trick, they can't let the Qiang cavalry hit the city wall with their war horses!
As for each Qiang cavalry, as long as they do not need the main force left behind by the princes, they will basically not be in any big danger. And even if they encounter the main force left behind by the princes, as long as they listen to Huo Qubing's orders and stay away from them, it will be difficult for the other party to do anything to them!
After all, there is a speed gap between the two sides.
As for the fact that all these ten thousand Qiang soldiers died under the encirclement and suppression by the three princes of the Central Plains, that's nothing! After all, why did Yue Fei send out most of the soldiers and horses this time were Qiang soldiers? He was not prepared to care too much about their life and death.
Huo Qubing himself led the remaining 30,000 cavalrymen directly bypassing the counties and heading towards the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although those ten thousand people were a bit extravagant, they were indeed Huo Qubing's way of attracting the enemy's attention!
Three days, just three days, Cao Cao and the others had almost turned gray.
In three days, just three days, there were already tens of thousands more refugees in Yuzhou, and the number of casualties was countless. Wherever the Qiang people passed by, they were truly burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
After each village was robbed, these Qiang people did not forget to set a big fire before leaving, without giving these poor people any chance of survival.
As for the tens of thousands of refugees, the proportions of Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao's territories were almost the same.
What made Zhao Kuangyin a little relieved was that the direction of these Qiang soldiers' advance was gradually toward Yanzhou in the north instead of Xuzhou in the east.
On the other hand, Cao Cao's face was not good-looking. His life was already tense. If he was tricked like this, he would really become a Spartan!
However, in just three days, one of the ten Qiang soldiers was wiped out. However, this was not done by any general under the princes, but by a warrior among the people.
During Xue Gang's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, six generals were the most outstanding among the Zhou army: Wu Guang, who was invincible with the bronze hammer, Qiu Qi, who was the master of the two sticks, Shang Yuanpei, who was the master of the four treasures, Bai Wenbao, who was brave with the silver hammer, and brave with the iron hammer. Xiong Tianqing, He Chang is famous for his divine fire.
The successive victories of the Tang army on Jiuyan Mountain made Wu Zetian extremely angry. Faced with the defeat of the chain of horses and the surrender of the Silver Hammer General, she was so angry that she sent one of the six generals, the Divine Fire General, to fight. The resolute He Chang brought three thousand flames with him. The army burned Jiuyan Mountain until not a single blade of grass grew, and even the stones burned red. After more than a month, he was rewarded by Wu Zetian based on the fire progress chart, and was awarded the title of Invincible General of Divine Fire.
And this invincible divine fire general He Chang was not implanted into the hands of any princes after he was born, but was just an ordinary common man in Yuzhou.
In today's world, many people are in this situation. They are not directly implanted under the banner of the princes, but are scattered among the states.
However, some of them have been discovered by various princes, such as Ye Hua and others from Dou Jiande and the three Xie brothers from Liu Bei.
Of course, there are some who are still able to be their ordinary people, powerful people or children of aristocratic families to this day. There are even Jiang Ziya, Sun Shuao, and Sun Wu who are determined to become hermits.
However, in this life, He Changzhen, the invincible divine fire general, was sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky.
After a thousand Qiang cavalry entered his village, even if He Chang had super strength, they could only allow him to escape alone with serious injuries, and even his family could not be saved.
After that, He Chang, driven by deep hatred and hatred, approached the county magistrates of surrounding counties with his seriously wounded body, set up ambushes around the county in advance, and pretended that county soldiers were marching to the city to fight, inducing the greed of the Qiang people and attracting The county soldiers attacked the city, thus leading the Qiang soldiers into an ambush. A huge fire burned the thousand Qiang cavalry to pieces.
However, there is only one Invincible Divine Fire General. He can destroy one Qiang soldier, but the remaining nine Qiang soldiers can still cause chaos in the three states of the Central Plains.
What's more, there is a more powerful Huo Qubing deeper down!
