July is still a hot summer day in the south. But in Liucheng, Liaoxi County, the weather has gradually turned cooler. In particular, the late Han Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, winter started early in the north, and it was a cold period all year round.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why the northern barbarians frequently go south to invade the border areas. It is cold in the north, the pastures are no longer lush, the sheep are no longer fat, and the life of the Hu people is difficult, and swarms of swarms go south to rob.
If the Han Dynasty was strong and powerful, it would be able to resist foreign invasion. Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty also declined, and the people on the border were extremely miserable. They could only move forward in the darkness, waiting for the light to appear.
Lu Xuan doesn't care what the situation of the Wuhuan people in the north is, that's not what he considers, because he has never been a saint.
Lu Xuan is Han Chinese.
What he can control is the Han people who have the same customs, etiquette, and hair accessories as himself, rather than the barbarians who consider robbing their compatriots out of compassion.
Therefore, after Lu Xuan led four thousand cavalry out of Lulong Fortress, they rushed all the way towards Liucheng. This is also due to the fact that a group of soldiers were arranged to clean up the old roads and clear out the abandoned roads, making the roads in the mountains smooth.
Without this arrangement, it would be very difficult for the cavalry led by Lu Xuan to exit the customs through Lulongsai.
After walking a certain distance, you have to stop to build bridges and pave roads, clear mountains of stones, and cut down dense mountains and trees. This kind of journey is very slow.
Now, everything goes smoothly.
The journey from Lulongsai to Pinggang is hundreds of miles long. If you keep procrastinating, you will not be able to get out for ten days and a half, which will also consume morale. Now that soldiers were clearing the road, Lu Xuan arrived near Pinggang City in just four days.
This is close to the Xianbei area.
Xianbei and Wuhuan are both in the north, but the area where Wuhuan is located is more prosperous. After Tanshihuai's death, Xianbei declined and Wuhuan rose, so Wuhuan seized the best places and pushed Xianbei to the more bitter and cold north.
Just so, the relationship between Xianbei and Wuhuan was quite bad.
This is the norm.
Living on the grassland, if you want to get more resources, you must squeeze the resources of other ethnic groups. If this cannot be done, the ethnic group will not be able to expand and will not be able to achieve a better life.
Under this premise, Lu Xuan led people to appear in an area close to Xianbei, without causing any sensation and no Xianbei people came to stop them.
Lu Xuan led the cavalry out of Pinggang City and quickly headed towards Liucheng. Although there are still many mountain roads, the roads today are no longer the roads in the valleys or the roads in the dense forests, which are enough for the cavalry to run wildly.
Four thousand cavalrymen started running quickly.
After less than two days, the cavalry led by Lu Xuan entered Liucheng, and the army stopped to rest.
The soldiers ate dry food to regain their strength.
Lu Xuan called Zhao Yun over and asked, "Zilong, how far are we from the Wuhuan Palace in Liucheng?"
Zhao Yun replied: "Reporting to the king, we are less than fifteen miles away from the royal court. If we travel all night, we can reach the royal court area of Liucheng before early morning."
Lu Xuan thought for a while and ordered: "Let's arrange it. Everyone should take time to rest and rest for another half an hour. Then, they will fight to Liucheng overnight, set fire to Liucheng, and completely destroy the Wuhuan Royal Court in Liucheng."
"Here!"
Zhao Yun answered with clasped fists.
He immediately made arrangements.
The four thousand cavalrymen took the time to rest, and at this time, all the horses were carrying bundles of dried wormwood. Once you get close to Liucheng and set fire to it, this will be used to start the fire. Half an hour later, the army set off and headed straight for Liucheng.
Boom!
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and more than 4,000 cavalrymen, carrying wormwood on their backs, ran at full speed.
The cavalry no longer concealed their whereabouts, and the soldiers rushed on with torches. The fifteen-mile journey was not far for the cavalry. Just two-quarters of an hour after Haishi, the four thousand cavalry led by Lu Xuan arrived in the Liucheng area.
Looking from a distance, one can see the tents where the Wuhuan people live, and the light of burning fires everywhere.
Densely packed tents surrounded the king's tent.
This is the gathering place of Wuhuan people.
After seeing this, Lu Xuan became energetic, pointed his spear at the royal court area in the distance, and said loudly: "The royal court of the Wuhuan people is right in front of us. Here is our chance for revenge, kill!"
"kill!"
Zhao Yun shouted while holding the gentian bright silver gun.
Zhao Yun fought outside the Great Wall a few years ago and saw too many scenes of Han people being slaughtered. He shouted loudly: "In these years, we have been robbed and slaughtered. Today, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, kill!"
Boom!
Four thousand cavalry swept past like a long dragon.
The torches burned and moved forward like a fiery snake.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Lu Xuan rushed into Wuhuan's royal court, quickly dispersed and set fire to it. Tents everywhere were set alight, grass everywhere was ignited, and the entire royal court area was filled with flames and thick smoke.
Many Wuhuan people escaped and saw the cavalry coming. The Wuhuan people took up weapons to attack, but were killed by Lu Xuan's cavalry in a blink of an eye.
As Lu Xuan's cavalry set fire, the fire spread. In less than two quarters of an hour, the Wangting area was in flames. The fire burning like this dispelled the darkness and made the Liucheng Royal Court as bright as day.
Although some Wuhuan soldiers who stayed behind organized themselves to stop Lu Xuan's people.
However, Lou Ban, Nan Lou, Su Pu Yan and Su Yan all died outside, and Tadun left with his army. Liucheng was empty, and the remaining troops could not stop Lu Xuan's attack, and the Wuhuan people were constantly killed.
Time passed little by little, more than an hour passed, and after early morning, the vicinity of Liucheng became a sea of burning fire.
"Report!"
A sentinel came quickly on horseback.
The sentry came to Lu Xuan and reported: "Your Majesty, we found a large number of Wuhuan cavalry in the southeast of Liucheng. We can't see how many there are. This cavalry is running wildly towards Liucheng regardless of the cost. Come in the direction."
Lu Xuan thought about it in his mind and said: "It should be Tadun's army. No one can rush to help Wuhuan except him. Tadun should be halfway there. He thought that Liucheng was empty, so he came back quickly. This man is really not simple." "
Zhao Yun looked a little anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tadun has many troops and we can't stop them. Withdraw the troops and let's leave Liucheng. Otherwise, once we are surrounded by a large number of Tadun's cavalry, it will be difficult for us to evacuate."
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, he shook his head and said, "Zilong, I don't plan to evacuate."
Zhao Yun worriedly asked: "What do you plan to do, my lord?"
Lu Xuan said: "Our army set fire to Liucheng, even though they were rushing to attack. But we had rested the army before, and the soldiers recovered their strength. But the soldiers under Tadun's command, from the time they left Liucheng to the time they returned to Liucheng, have been rushing all the way. .”
"So, I think the army under Tadun's command is definitely a long-distance attack. It is a tired army. The soldiers lack fighting spirit and physical strength. I think this is our opportunity to attack Tadun again. What do you think?"
Zhao Yun said: "If the king's body of ten thousand gold is in danger..."
Lu Xuan directly interrupted Zhao Yun's words and said in a deep voice: "We are fighting on the battlefield. If we are afraid of this or that, there is no need to fight. I am here to kill Tadun in this battle, not to escape the heat. We set fire to Liucheng. Just evacuate, there won’t be much gain, and I’m not willing to do it.”
"When Tadun returns from a long-distance attack, we kill him for a while, crush his army, and then retreat quickly."
"Think about it. He came back from a long-distance attack. It's impossible for all the troops to come back. There must only be a part of the soldiers. Moreover, they are all tired troops. We pretend to evacuate first, and then suddenly come back, catching him off guard and evacuating."
Lu Xuan said: "Even if Tadun cannot be killed, he must be severely injured."
Although Zhao Yun was worried, Lu Xuan's analysis was reasonable. He tentatively said: "Master, do you really want to kill him?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Is Zilong also afraid?"
When Zhao Yun heard Lu Xuan's words, he looked solemn and said loudly: "Your Majesty is not afraid, so what should I be afraid of? Beat him, let's beat him again."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "That's right. The Wuhuan people killed my people and invaded our border. If they don't take revenge, how can they evacuate?"
Having said this, Lu Xuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind and ordered: "Quickly find some corpses of Wuhuan people and put eight characters on the ground."
Zhao Yun asked: "Which eight characters?"
"The murderer, Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
Lu Xuan said loudly: "This time Tadun's judgment must be yours. So, leave your name and stimulate Tadun again."
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
This time, he became famous, but the way he became famous was a little weird.
Zhao Yun thought about it and felt his blood boiling again.
His ambition is to guard the border and expel the barbarians. Now he has left his name in Liucheng, making Lord Wuhuan furious. It was worth it to be able to do this.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "General, I will obey."
He immediately made arrangements, and the soldiers quickly brought the corpses of the Wuhuan people and placed them with eight characters. After everything was done, Zhao Yun and Lu Xuan quietly disappeared into the firelight with their cavalry, leaving Liucheng with wailing sounds everywhere.
