Five days later, Taiyuan City.
Lu Zhi stood at the top of the city with his hands behind his back. The dusty sky in the distance was filled with Hun cavalry.
Gongsun Zan was beside him, with a murderous look on his face full of ravines, and said: "Master, let me go, you are just a Xiongnu, I don't take it lightly!"
Gongsun Zan fought against Xianbei, Wuhuan and others in Youzhou all year round. He won more than he lost but had great military exploits and had strong self-confidence.
A wisp of cold wind blew by, Lu Zhi's hair was fluttering, his tired face was cold and cold, he stared at the north and said: "This Xiongnu is coming with something unusual."
Gongsun Zan's heart suddenly moved and he said, "Master, are you saying that someone is colluding with the Xiongnu?"
This is what Lu Zhi thought. This Xiongnu came a little early, and it was just the summer harvest, and it was smooth sailing all the way to Taiyuan City. Although there was still internal strife in the Han Dynasty, it was too smooth.
Lu Zhi said expressionlessly, "Is there any news about Niu Fu?"
Gongsun Zan said: "Dong Zhuo's letter has been sent, but there is no reply yet."
Lu Zhi's face darkened, his eyes twitched fiercely, and he said, "Wait!"
Niu Fu is now a key point. If he surrenders, his confidence in dealing with the Huns will greatly increase. If he falls to the Huns, the situation in Bingzhou will change drastically!
Gongsun Zan suppressed the urge to fight in his heart and said: "Master, all the counties have been fortified and cleared, and the Huns can't plunder anything."
Lu Zhi said nothing and kept looking north.
Once upon a time, the Han cavalry crossed the grassland and were invincible. The Huns did not dare to stay in Monan, let alone the border. The royal court moved to the depths of the desert, fearing the Han like a tiger.
Now, the Huns have penetrated deep into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they are unscrupulous and have no scruples.
Immediately, he thought of Liu Bian's secret letter again, his face became colder and harder, and he said: "Let the soldiers have a good rest and have enough food and wine."
Gongsun Zan's expression perked up and he said: "The last general takes orders!"
He thought that his teacher couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to fight the Huns!
"What's going on with the Black Mountain Army?" Lu Zhi asked again.
Gongsun Zan felt sorry for himself and said with cold eyes, "Master, do you suspect that the Montenegrin Army is colluding with the Huns?"
Lu Zhi now doubts everything.
Shangdang County.
Liu Bian stood at the top of the city, looking to the north.
Behind him stood Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others, all wearing armor and looking majestic.
Cao Cao's beard is more lush, his eyes are narrow and his expression is indifferent, giving people a sense of evil.
He suddenly raised his hand to Liu Bian and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I request an order to attack and kill the Xiongnu under the walls of Taiyuan City!"
Liu Bian looked back at him, his face as usual, and he thought to himself: You are very brave.
Since Cao Cao led the army, he actually has no impressive achievements. Until now, he has basically come from "Zu Yin". If it had been anyone else, he would have died eight hundred times.
Cao Cao lowered his head and could feel Liu Bian's gaze, and said more and more seriously: "I only need ten thousand people to defeat the Xiongnu and show off the power of my Han army!"
Liu Bian wanted to train Cao Cao, but at this time, he suddenly asked Dong Zhuo, "Dong Qing's family, Niu Fu hasn't replied yet?"
Dong Zhuo's rugged face suddenly straightened up, and he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's the Huns who have blocked the news."
Liu Bian looked at him deeply and said, "The Qing family still has to think of a way."
Dong Zhuo felt cold and said quickly: "I accept the order."
His current situation is very difficult. If Niu Fu really colludes with the Huns, he will definitely die! But if Niu Fu surrenders, then Dong Zhuo will be useless and his death is not far away.
'What should I do? '
'Old thief Yuan Wei! 'Every time he thought of this, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth with hatred and wanted to peel off his skin and cramp up.
Seeing that Liu Bian did not agree to fight, Cao Cao hesitated and put down his hand. He secretly made up his mind that this time, he must achieve great results!
How can a man live in a hazy state for a long time?
Liu Bian didn't know what they were thinking. He looked at the north, the banners were blazing, his eyes were long and his heart was filled with uncertainty.
Cao Cao longed to be the general who conquered the north, so why didn't Liu Bian want to be the Emperor Wu?
The country is strong, and there are many fierce generals under its command. All the disobedient people will be defeated into submission, and immortal achievements will be made, which will be remembered for thousands of years!
However, the current situation of the big man did not allow Liu Bian to fantasize too far.
He took a deep breath, turned around and walked down the city wall, saying: "Follow my instructions, arrange the arrangements carefully, and don't slack off!"
"I'm waiting for the order!" Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others all responded in unison, watching Liu Bian's back, each with their own thoughts in mind.
Pan Yin and Zuo Li followed Liu Bian to the backyard of the government office. Zuo Li made excuses and left. Only Pan Yin and Zhao Yun accompanied Liu Bian.
Liu Bian had no time to rest, and there were piles of official documents in front of him.
At night.
Zhang Liao and Cao Cao were patrolling the city. The moon was as cold as water and there was almost no sound from the city.
Suddenly, a fast horse loomed in the darkness, and the sound of horse hooves was very clear in the middle of the night.
Cao Cao opened his eyes, quickly approached the wall, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
The surrounding soldiers suddenly became alert, and the archers all aimed at the darkness.
"Don't move!" Cao Cao said in a low voice, stopping the archer from preparing to shoot.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves appeared in the dim field of vision, and there was only one person!
Cao Cao remained calm and waited quietly.
The man on the fast horse, with his face covered and a bow on his back, came not far away and quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow.
Phew~
An arrow waded into the city, and the horse turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
Seeing this, Cao Cao suddenly turned around and shouted: "Bring the arrows!"
Not long after his voice fell, a soldier came to report: "Back to General Zhonglang, the arrow was taken away by the chamberlain."
Cao Cao was startled when he heard this, and immediately strode down the tower and went straight to the government office.
At this moment, Zuo Li had already taken away the note, looked at the content on it, was shocked, and went straight to Liu Bian's bedroom in the backyard.
Not long after Liu Bian finally fell asleep, he was awakened by an urgent knock on the door.
Once he falls asleep and is forcibly awakened, his head will hurt and his whole body will feel uncomfortable, which will also make his temper very bad.
If he were in the palace, he would have scolded him long ago, but in Shangdang County, Liu Bian frowned and opened the door irritably.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
As soon as the door opened, Zuo Li said urgently: "The Huns know that Your Majesty is in Shangdang and are coming with their army!"
Liu Bian frowned even more, stared at Zuo Li and said, "How do you know?"
Zuo Li was so panicked that he quickly said: "Your Majesty is going to conquer the country personally. I don't dare to be careless. I have arranged people in each county in advance to monitor the Huns and exchange news. Your Majesty, will you return to Beijing immediately?"
Liu Bian had a splitting headache and felt a little nauseous. He held back and said, "You did a good job."
I wanted to send Zuo Li away like this, but he looked up and saw Cao Cao approaching in a hurry.
Liu Bian took a deep breath and said directly: "The Huns are coming to join the party, so there is no need to worry, just take precautions."
Cao Cao's expression immediately changed. The Huns bypassed Taiyuan and came to the party?
Immediately he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to recruit other places to come for support?"
Liu Bian looked at the sky and said calmly: "No need, you guys just concentrate on guarding."
When Cao Cao saw Liu Bian's lack of panic, he opened his eyes and suddenly became frightened, thinking of an extremely terrifying possibility!
Not far away, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao and others came over. Liu Bian shook his head, sobered up a little, walked out, smiled and said to everyone: "Aren't they the Huns? There are only ten thousand people, why are you so panicked? "
Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao and others were even more flustered than Cao Cao, with anxious faces on their faces.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is here. If the Huns attack Shangdang County, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Cao Cao understood more as he listened. His eyes widened and his heart surged, staring straight at Liu Bian.
This Majesty is using himself as bait to lure the Huns to join the party!
What courage and courage!
Liu Bian remained calm and glanced at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye.
Cao Cao lowered his head fiercely, then raised his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight against the Xiongnu!"
Since Your Majesty can use his body to plan the enemy, Cao Cao can also use his body to lure a tiger!
Liu Bian smiled and said, "There's no rush, there's still some time."
Cao Cao put down his hands and looked sullen, still unable to calm down.
He never thought that Liu Bian would have such a plan if he stayed in Shangdang!
This matter must have been planned for a long time, and the person presiding over this battle must be Lu Zhi from Taiyuan City.
'I don't know what Lu Shijun's arrangements are, or whether they are arranged by me, Cao Cao...' Cao Cao's eyes flickered and he thought calmly.
He wants to make meritorious deeds!
At the same time, a village ten miles outside Hedong County.
All the people here had fled long ago, and now they are occupied by a group of Huns.
The Xiongnu who entered the fortress this time can be called the Southern Xiongnu, coming from Monan.
But there are also many Huns in the Han Dynasty. This can be traced back to the Zuoxian King Xiutu tribe who surrendered during the period of Emperor Wu. They were widely spread in Wuyuan, Daijun, Shanggu, and Taiyuan.
In recent years, these tribes have followed the Han army in battles, especially the Qiang rebellion, and have made many achievements. However, due to the corruption of the imperial court and various bad policies, these Huns sometimes surrendered and rebelled, becoming a major rebellious force in Bingzhou.
The Xiongnu outside Hedong also came from the southern Xiongnu, and their name was Yufuluo.
Yufuluo was originally the son of the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu. Two years ago, he was ordered by the King of Han to accompany the army to conquer Xianbei. However, not long after arriving, his father Shanyu was killed by the rebels, and he could only stay in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Originally, he had made a lot of contributions and should have been rewarded. However, after the death of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Hedong and blocked Yufuluo's way to Beijing. Coupled with other complicated reasons, Yufuluo was labeled as a rebel by the Han court.
However, the imperial court was in trouble and was unable to clear them out, so it had no choice but to allow Yufuluo to join forces with the Baibo army, plunder everywhere, do whatever they wanted, and entrenched themselves in the area east of the river.
In the dark, a man walked into Yuvluo's tent.
Humphrey's face was bearded and his hair was disheveled, as if he had not bathed for many days.
He looked indifferent and looked at the visitor with vigilance.
"Does Shan Yu want to survive?" The visitor stood not far away and said straight to the point.
The dagger in Hufro's hand was thrust into the table.
"court death!"
The guards on both sides immediately drew their swords and put them on the visitor's neck.
There was no movement on Zhong Yao's face, and he looked directly at Humphrey.
Humphrey pulled out his dagger and said, "Do you think your court can kill me?"
Zhong Yao shook his head with a pitiful look on his face and said: "The Chanyu should know that the Shanyu of Xubu Gudu came here not only to plunder, but also for the purpose of including the Chanyu. Of course, the Chanyu can completely avoid him However, if His Majesty personally leads the expedition, whether I win in the imperial court or Xubu Guduhou wins, the Shanyu will have no place to establish himself in Bingzhou, and his death is not far away."
Humphrey stood up abruptly, his expression changing, alternating with anger and hatred.
After a long while, Yuvluo sat back again, stared at Zhong Yao coldly and said: "You Han court has abandoned me and you want me to serve you, don't even think about it!"
Zhong Yao did know some of the past, and said, "What if after that, I officially canonize you as a Chanyu and send troops to conquer Xubu Guduhou for you?"
Yuvluo's eyes were like lightning and his breathing became rapid. He looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Is this true?"
Xubu Guduhou rebelled, and Yufuluo asked the Han Dynasty to send troops to help him put down the rebellion, but the Han Dynasty was too preoccupied with itself to pay attention to him.
Zhong Yao lowered his eyes and looked at the sword on his neck.
Yufro hurriedly stood up and came over, waving his hand and saying: "Everyone, get out! Zhong Tingwei, please take a seat!"
I’m not very good at writing about war, so I’ll allow the author to sort out the details and I’ll update tomorrow morning in the evening.
Please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass~~
