Lu Xuan's route to the north was from Yi County to Zhuo County, and then from Zhuo County to Fangcheng County to Anci County of Guangyang County. After entering Guangyang County, the place became increasingly unstable, with bandits everywhere and people's livelihood in decline.
These are the places where Wuhuan appears.
When Lu Xuan was on his way, he arranged sentinels early to inquire about the news ahead. Once Wuhuan soldiers and horses appear, we can respond in advance. Fortunately, Lu Xuan and his party had a safe journey in Guangyang County and successfully entered Yuyang County.
To the east of Yuyang County is Youbeiping County. Once you enter Youbeiping, you will enter Wuhuan's sphere of influence.
After the death of Tanshihuai in Xianbei at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei quickly split and its strength weakened, and Wuhuan rose up instead.
The Wuhuan people are from Donghu.
"Book of the Later Han·Biography of Wuhuan" records that Wuhuan people were Bendong Hu people. Because these people gathered in Wuhuan Mountain, they were called Wuhuan people. In fact, the same goes for the Xianbei people, who are also a branch of Donghu. Because they gather in Xianbei Mountain, they are called Xianbei people.
The previous Wuhuan master Qiu Liju was very capable and integrated the Wuhuan people, making the Wuhuan people very powerful. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Qiu Liju once incited Zhang Chun, the prefect of Zhongshan, to rebel and invade Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places.
After Qiu Liju's death, Qiu Liju's nephew Tadun succeeded to the throne and became Lord Wuhuan.
The current layout of Wuhuan in Youzhou is called the three counties of Wuhuan.
The first is Liaoxi County, where Liucheng of Wuhuan's base camp is located; the second is Youbeiping County, which is east of Yuyang County and adjacent to Liaoxi County; the third is Liaodong County, where Gongsundu is located.
In the three counties, there are leaders of Wuhuan tribe, that is, the three kings of Wuhuan.
The three kings of Wuhuan all respected Tadun.
This area of Youzhou includes Dai County, Shanggu County, Zhuo County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Xuantu County, and Lelang County, a total of ten counties.
However, Dai County and Shanggu County were occupied by the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu and were in chaos; the right Beiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong were occupied by the Wuhuan people; the eastern part of Liaoning, Xuantu County and Lelang County were occupied by Gongsundu.
The only areas that belonged to the Han Dynasty were Zhuojun, Guangyang County and Yuyang County. Even these places were often plundered.
This is Gongsun Zan's ability.
Gongsun Zan once continuously attacked Wuhuan, but he could not completely suppress Wuhuan. Especially after being defeated by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan abandoned these areas and was unable to protect the people, causing hardship to the people of Youzhou.
Countless people are living in dire straits.
Lu Xuan came to the border of Lu County, Yuyang County, which is adjacent to Wuzhong County, Youbeiping, and is about to enter Tian Chou's hometown.
The weather in Luxian County in June, even though the late Han Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age and it started to get cold in Youzhou in August and September, the current weather in Luxian County is still very hot. After noon, Lu Xuan and his party stopped to rest.
Along the way, Zhao Yun integrated four thousand cavalry.
When the four thousand cavalrymen learned that the person they were loyal to was Lu Xuan, the king of Wu in the south, who was going north to attack Wuhuan, they became excited. They were no longer as discouraged as when they followed Gongsun Zan.
The key is that Zhao Yun is also there.
This was Baima Yi's tiger general. Many people knew Zhao Yun, were loyal to Lu Xuan, and fought with Zhao Yun. Many people had high morale.
The army was resting, and Lu Xuan rested under a tree.
There was a map in front of him.
This is a map of the entire Youzhou, with the main mountains and passes shown on the map.
Lu Xuan looked at the map of You Beiping and said slowly: "Our situation after entering You Beiping should not be a big problem. After all, Wu Huan's troops are concentrated in Liucheng, Liaoxi County, but now, we should consider how to attack Wu Huan and the route. If you are determined, you won’t panic.”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and stared at the map for a while, then looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "General Zilong, you are familiar with the situation outside the Great Wall. If we attack Liucheng from Youbeiping, what are the routes?"
Zhao Yun pointed at the map and explained: "There are two roads from Youbeiping to Liaodong. The first road is from Wuzhong County to the northeast, from Wuyin County to Haiyang County in Liaoxi County, along the Banghai Road goes all the way northeast and enters Liucheng in western Liaoning."
Lu Xuan glanced at the map.
This route is to go out through Shanhaiguan, which is later known as Shanhaiguan, and go to Liucheng County along the coastal plain near the coastline.
However, in the plain areas near the coastline, you need to check the weather. Historically, when Cao Cao attacked Wuhuan, he planned to take this road from the beginning. However, heavy rains continued, and the Banghai Road was an offshore area. All the heavy rainwater was flooded, making it impossible to go north.
Lu Xuan looked at the map and asked, "Zilong, is the second route you mentioned going out of Lulongsai and taking the mountain road straight to Liucheng?"
"The king actually knows?"
Zhao Yun had a surprised look on his face.
Lu Xuan smiled in his heart.
In history, Boss Cao used this road to conquer Wuhuan. Boss Cao abandoned the army and chose to lead the cavalry on a long-distance attack, which was a bit of a waste. Although Cao Cao encountered Tadun's army, Tadun also came to fight in person.
In the end, Zhang Liao was full of vigor and killed Tadun in front of the battle. Cao Jun covered up the attack and defeated Wuhuan.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I only know the general situation, but I don't know the specific path. Zilong can explain in detail."
Zhao Yun sighed: "Your Majesty is really knowledgeable."
Jia Xu also glanced at Lu Xuan in surprise. The king is from the south and has never been to the north, let alone a bitter and cold place like Youzhou. However, most people don’t know about a place like Lulongsai.
Jia Xu also looked at Zhao Yun and said solemnly: "Zilong, please tell me about this road in detail."
Zhao Yun said: "From Lulongsai, you have to cross hundreds of miles of mountain trails. The key is that this road has long been abandoned and is full of trees, jungles, and poisonous snakes and beasts. It is difficult to walk on this road. "
"However, this road is very hidden. After leaving Lulongsai, take Pinggang, and go straight to Liucheng."
"It seems that this road can catch people by surprise, but it is difficult to drive. If you take the seaside road, as long as you don't encounter floods and the cavalry rushes all the way north, you can reach Liucheng very quickly."
Zhao Yun said: "If we take the direction of Lulongsai, we can't advance quickly."
Lu Xuan nodded, weighed it in his mind, and asked, "Wen He, what do you think?"
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think we can take this route. We have made a plan now to make arrangements in advance. First, we still need to go to Wuzhong County to find Tianchou, so we have enough time to arrange it."
"Second, we want to attack Wuhuan, but we only have more than 4,000 elite cavalry."
"Wuhuan can easily produce 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry. Although our number is elite, we will definitely not be able to win against Wuhuan's cavalry head-on."
Jia Xu said: "So I believe that we can't take the seaside road. We can only use surprise troops and adopt the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "How to lure the snake out of the hole?"
Jia Xu pointed to the map of Youbeiping and said: "We are here in Youbeiping to build momentum. After our army entered Youbeiping, they continued to raid the Wuhuan tribe in Youbeiping."
"The news has reached Liaoxi County. In order to calm people's hearts, Tadun will definitely mobilize troops."
"If Tadun leads his troops southward in person, we can go directly through Lulong Pass, pass through to Liucheng, and massacre the Wuhuan people in Liucheng. When Tadun brings his men back, we can kill Tadun in Liucheng."
"Of course, if Tadun sends a small number of troops south from Banghai Road, we will conduct an ambush in Youbeiping, kill Wuhuan's troops again, and wipe out the few Wuhuan soldiers."
"In short, we must hit Tadun until he has a headache, so that Tadun can mobilize all his troops to attack."
"Then we'll take Luronce interspersed with raids."
"In a word, Lulongsai is the final raid point. The early battle will be in Youbeiping, and the later battle will be in Liaoxi County. The key point is that Tadun must be mobilized so that Tadun can't figure out our whereabouts and identity, and send a message Difference."
Jia Xu looked calm, with a look of wisdom in his eyes, and said: "We know Tadun, but Tadun doesn't know us, so that's easy to handle. The Art of War says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. This is the truth."
hiss!
Zhao Yun took a breath when he heard this.
Worthy of being Military Advisor Jia.
This man's suggestions are really great. When Gongsun Zan and Wu Huan fought against each other, there were so many twists and turns. They went head-to-head. Neither side was talking nonsense. They refused to give in and just did it!
Now Jia Xu's arrangement is to go around and around, around and around...
Lu Xuan thought for a while, with a look of approval on his face, and said: "Follow Wen He's suggestion, but according to this strategy, we will now arrange a small number of people to go out of Lulongsai to clear the road and remove all the traffic on this road. Obstacles cleared.”
"Beyond Lulong Fortress, the areas blocked by rocks and trees need to be cleared, and bridges need to be built where the roads are broken. This road must be completely opened to ensure that we can reach Pinggang smoothly before we can raid Liucheng."
Zhao Yun confidently said: "Your Majesty, there are soldiers in the army who have been to Lulongsai. I made some arrangements, dispatched a hundred cavalry, concealed their whereabouts, and went straight to Lulongsai, cleared the road, built bridges and paved roads, and ensured that even if we walked on the mountain road, Also able to travel quickly.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Okay!"
The conversation changed, and Lu Xuan continued: "When we enter the battle in Youbeiping, use your banner, Zilong, to sweep across Wuhuan in the name of Baima Yicong, and try not to expose my identity. How long can I drag on my identity?" Time, just delay it for as long as it takes.”
"As you command!"
Zhao Yun nodded and answered.
"Report!"
At this moment, a sentinel came running back.
The sentry looked eager. He came to Lu Xuan's side and got off his horse. He clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, at the foot of Lao Sow Mountain on the border of Wuzhong County, sixteen miles ahead, there is a village called Lao Sow Village. We encountered a large number of rooks. Huan cavalry plundered."
"We saw from a distance that the number of Wuhuan cavalry was about a thousand. These cavalry surrounded the village. They did not directly massacre and rob, but like a cat catching a mouse, they surrounded the village and wreaked havoc."
Lu Xuan stood up abruptly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly: "The Wuhuan is raging in the territory of the Han Dynasty. This is the shame of Gongsun Zan and the shame of us Han people. In the past, Chen Tang once said that those who openly offend our strong Han people will not be punished. If you are far away, you will be killed. If I encounter him today, I will kill Wuhuan all over, and I will not spare any of them."
Zhao Yun's eyes were sharp and he cupped his fists and said: "Please give the order, your Majesty. The last general is willing to be the vanguard."
"Please give the order, Your Majesty."
One by one, the cavalry generals asked for battle.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun, let your infantry stay and be responsible for guarding Wen He. All the cavalry will follow me and attack the old sow village. No Wuhuan people who invaded the people will be left behind."
"The blood of the people of the Han Dynasty must be repaid with the blood of the Wuhuan people. It is our duty as bloody men to protect our family and our country."
Lu Xuan made arrangements directly.
More than four thousand cavalrymen obeyed the order, quickly got on their horses, and together with Lu Xuan, quickly ran towards the direction of Old Sow Village.
