The three-color war flag of the Western Expedition fluttered high above thousands of felt hats and red cherry blossoms.
Under the banner of Zhengxi, the troops led by Zhao Yun blew up from the Yin Mountain like a powerful whirlwind, sweeping up the entire northern Shuofang and Wuyuan areas.
This was once the land of the Han family. Regarding land, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was similar to most landowners. He always thought about it and wanted to collect all the good fields in the world under his name.
Forget it, this piece of geomantic treasure land near Yinshan Mountain was talked about by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for who knows how long.
Later, after the Han family really took it into their hands, they immediately launched nationwide activities to support the frontiers, er, moved the population to Shuofang and other places to fill up the area. During the subsequent decline of the Han family's power, some of these people followed the Han Dynasty.
Some of the officials huddled inwards, while some quietly put on fur robes and became powerful commanders among the barbarian forces.
Since the expedition to the west, in just a few years, they have repeatedly defeated the Xianbei forces that were originally near Wuyuan in Shuofang, and almost wiped out all the Xianbei troops.
These remaining heroes, regardless of their strength, were all afraid of the military front in the expedition to the west. They gradually broke away from their previous vassal relationship with Xianbei and were no longer as obedient and humble as they were to Xianbei before.
It seems that at least General Fei Qian of Zhengxi can compete with Xianbei King Bu Dugen.
In the border areas of the Han Dynasty like Shuofang Wuyuan, whoever has a powerful iron cavalry can truly hold the power to control the place. This time, Zhao Yun led the Southern Huns from west to east, and these are the places they passed.
The powerful commanders in Shuofang and Wuyuan put on the clothes of the Han family and prostrated themselves under the banner of Zhengxi.
Shame?
Sorry, in the face of survival, shame is worse than a fart.
After General Zhengxi conquered the Yin Mountains, Fei Qian's military prowess had already somewhat intimidated the heroes living in the border areas. However, the heroes in these places still preferred the Xianbei people, because after all, the Xianbei people were closer to them.
In addition, people who have surrendered for several generations will find it difficult to turn around in a short period of time.
Who would have thought that when the Xianbei people from Yinshan were marching in large numbers, Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, was not afraid at all. He raised his troops and marched north, fought in the field, besieged the city, lured the enemy, and pursued them. He decided the battle situation like lightning. In these places, there were no heroes.
Before they could fully react, they had already defeated Xianbei's troops, scattered them, captured prisoners, and almost wiped out all the Xianbei forces in Yinshan, confirming the entire situation in one fell swoop!
The Xianbei people's original reputation of being invincible in the desert was like a broken water bag under the three-color flag of Zhengxi. The seams could not be mended. It immediately shocked the border and everyone looked at him with suspicion. Therefore, even though Zhao Yun was not General Fei Qian of Zhengxi himself
, he was just a partial military commander, but he still received a warm welcome from these guys who were wandering around the border looking for a way to survive.
Therefore, some strange phenomena have occurred these days. As Zhao Yun led his troops forward, many men and horses with weapons and livestock were waiting on the ground on the road of the army. After Zhao Yun's forwards arrived, first
He offered part of his cattle, sheep and livestock to the army, and then expressed his willingness to follow his banner...
Compared with other places, Shuofang and other border areas of the Han family are better places to send horses. In these places, handsome men, even if they only sit in a fortress, can bring out dozens of good horses, so Zhao Yun did not refuse the overtures of these people.
, these people were merged with the Huns into a recruiting army, and used as auxiliary troops, which could also increase their momentum.
Thanks to the support of these local snakes, Zhao Yun led his troops and encountered no difficulties along the way. Even some of the losses incurred during the march were reduced a lot because they were replenished. Some local tycoons even
They will send their cooks and manpower to take care of Zhao Yun's headquarters as comfortably as possible, just to leave a good impression on Zhao Yun...
Therefore, Zhao Yun's journey to the east went smoothly beyond imagination. Even when he set up camp at night, these handsome men burned the bonfires in advance, gathered up a good place in the lee of the wind for the cavalry to conquer the west, and even prepared some food.
Come, just like you served the Xianbei people back then, you will serve the soldiers of the Western Expedition.
The tent where the Zhengxi cavalry spent the night was now carried by the right-wing men who were following them on oxen and horses. When the Zhengxi cavalry stopped and prepared to rest, these guys were busy helping to set up the tent, and by the way, they also set up the tent.
When the ground inside was warm, we invited these Zhengxi cavalry to go in and rest.
Zhao Yun saw this in his eyes and only restrained his soldiers not to do bullying. As for the rest, most of them acquiesced. After all, all of this was fought one after another through bloody battles in the west. Regardless of whether it was the Hu people
We are still Han people. If we want to survive on the border, in addition to being good at turning the rudder against the wind, it has become a deep-rooted consensus to obey the strong. If General Zhengxi had not had several head-to-head battles with the Xianbei people,
Now that the army is marching eastward, where could such convenience come from?
In the darkness, clusters of bonfires illuminated the surrounding areas.
The dry flat land in the middle was naturally the resting place for the Zhengxi cavalry. These Zhengxi cavalry were from Bingzhou, Xiliang, and even some Qiang people who had followed Feiqian in the early days. These were originally from different places and belonged to different places.
Even though there were some differences in the past, the army and horses gradually merged together after several bloody battles. Now they are sitting together affectionately and informally, chatting and laughing around the campfire in low voices, or wiping their weapons.
, or tidying up and taking care of big friends.
Among these soldiers who conquered the West, the most talked about thing was naturally the battle they were about to face. However, behind the scenes, there was not much fear, but more calculation. After such a battle, what could be done?
What a reward to get...
Sentries have been sent out, and some handsome young men have volunteered to serve as guides. With the help of young men who are familiar with the local terrain, the safety of the entire army's night camping is naturally relatively guaranteed.
Very far away, several groups of fire suddenly appeared, rising and falling towards Zhao Yun.
There was no need for the Zhengxi cavalry under Zhao Yun to get up to detect. The local right-wing disciples in the surrounding area were already on their horses. These strong and powerful disciples were about to show off their prowess in front of Xiao Yan. Every one of them mounted their horses with ease and grace.
, the whistle responded and headed towards the direction of the flashing fire.
The sound in the distance had become louder at this time, and more torches jumped out in the dark night and surged towards here.
There were also scouts here, leading hundreds of horsemen and horses to meet them. As soon as they met the torches coming from the other side, there were more noises in the night. The sounds of people shouting and horses neighing became one.
, instead of encountering an enemy, the elephant encountered cheering sounds like familiar faces.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly. Before Zhao Yun could say anything, Sakon Haoshuai, who was standing by with a smiling face, hurriedly scolded his men and asked his subordinates to report the situation quickly. As a result, before anyone could rush out a few steps, someone was outside.
The scouts had already galloped back. When they got to the nearby area, they got off their horses and ran over quickly.
There were some beads of sweat on the scout's face, glistening under the light of the bonfire, but his expression did not look like he was nervous before the battle, but with some excitement. He came to Zhao Yun and handed over his hand to report: "Report
General Zhao! Here are Liu, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Shijun! With them are the Xianyu brothers and Wuhuan troops, about a thousand horses! Come and listen to the general's command!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun's expression on his face still didn't change much. However, the disciples of Hao You who followed him all started in an uproar, and then whispered to each other, expressing surprise and joy, and they couldn't help but feel a little more awe and admiration in their hearts.
.
Even the Wuhuan people came to join the expedition to the west. It seems that in the desert, the Xianbei people's airs have fallen!
The eyes of these Haoyou disciples couldn't help but become eager. It seemed that they really came to the right place!
While he was talking, the fire in the distance stopped, and a dozen or so riders followed Zhengxi's scouts, heading towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun finally let down his guard slightly and began to believe that this was a real reinforcement. However, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. Of course, he also had some admiration. The name of General Zhengxi was actually among the Wuhuan people.
Is it effective?
…………………………
Regardless of how Zhao Yun and Liu He reunited and organized their troops to advance eastward, this huge wave of momentum had already alarmed Bu Dugen and others of the Xianbei tribe north of Yanmen, and they hurriedly rushed to the east.
The leaders of all the surrounding tribes were summoned to discuss and discuss together.
Last winter, Bu Dugen asked Fu Luohan to follow Ke Bineng south to plunder. As a result, not only was he unable to plunder sufficient supplies, but he also escaped back with a broken army. This caused Bu Dugen's loss in the hearts of the Xianbei people.
The prestige has dropped a lot.
Although Bu Dugen is the "orthodox" successor to the title of King of Xianbei, strictly speaking Bu Dugen fights internally and externally very rarely. It is okay to rely on the title of King to bluff people. When he learned that the Zhengxi Iron Cavalry
When the Huns and even the Wuhuan people came together, I couldn't help but feel a little panic...
Zhengxi, Zhengxi, damn Zhengxi...
The previous death of Little King Tuoba resulted in the entire Yinshan Xianbei army being annihilated!
When he heard that the Zhengxi troops were heading towards Yanmen, Bu Dugen thought of this incident. Although this incident brought anger, it was more of fear. Bu Dugen even had a fear.
This kind of hallucination, when Tuoba Xiaowang died, he saw the corpses of Xianbei people all over the field, the blood flowing on the ground like a river, and the flag of the Western Conquest flying in the black smoke of the war!
Although there were factors such as Tuoba Xiaowang underestimating the enemy, or improper deployment of troops and horses, etc. that led to the tragic defeat, during the battle with the Zhengxi Cavalry, the Xianbei cavalry really showed off all their skills.
After a series of attacks, field battles, formations, and battles, we finally came to the conclusion that if we had a head-on confrontation with the cavalry from Zhengxi, we would be really at a disadvantage...
The weapons of the Zhengxi soldiers are better than those of the Xianbei people, and their armor is also better than the Xianbei people. If the Xianbei people chop with a knife, and there are one more marks on the armor of the Zhengxi soldiers, two more pieces of iron will be broken. But if the Zhengxi soldiers chop with one knife, it will be flesh and blood.
Fly across!
It's definitely not possible to carry it from the front...
Other Xianbei people may not know the history of the desert, but as the king of Xianbei, Bu Dugen knows very well how many tribal nations have risen and how many have perished in this desert grassland.
Guifang, yon, Shanrong, Xiongnu, Lingding, etc., and then to the current Xianbei, many desert ethnic groups have risen and fallen, but only the Han Dynasty in the south has continued to this day for three to four hundred years!
Facing such a big guy, Bu Dugen said tough words, but deep down he did not believe that his tribe could conquer such a country. Therefore, when General Zhengxi's men swept in with great momentum, Bu Dugen
Gen's first reaction in his heart was to avoid its sharp edge first...
Anyway, the Hu people in the desert before, whether it was the Huns before or King Maodun of Xianbei, they all did this. They traded space for time, and then rushed out to harvest when the Han people were exhausted. But Bu Dugen
What I'm worried about is that his reputation was not very high in the first place, but now that Zhengxi comes and he avoids his sharpness, his subordinates will disperse in droves, and some may even defect directly to Kebineng, which will eventually lead to
The situation is getting increasingly out of control.
what to do?
Looking at the mess in the big tent, Bu Dugen couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up, everyone! Look at what you are like now! This Han man has not arrived yet, and he is so frightened that he is confused
It’s like this! If the Han people really arrive, their hands and feet won’t be so weak that they can’t even pick up a knife!”
"Your Majesty...it's not that we are afraid..." said Fu Luohan on the side, with a wound on his face from the previous battle, which was twisted, "it's because we are worried that after we fight with the Han people, we will be defeated by Ke Bineng
That kid took advantage..."
"That's right, that's right!" The tribal leader on the side also echoed, "Our son has finished fighting with the Han people, wouldn't he block the knife for that kid Ke Bineng?"
Everyone was talking about the big tent, basically all having the same idea. It is best for Kebi to go first when it comes to desperate matters. It is really a loss to fight the Han people like this, and it is not worth it...
However, there is an obvious problem in front of us. Ke Bineng obviously hopes that Bu Dugen will fight the Han first. Naturally, others will suffer the losses, and it will be up to him to take advantage. No matter who it is, this idea is
Consistent.
At this moment, Yan Rou, who was behind Fu Luohan, straightened her back and said loudly: "Perhaps... this time the expedition to the west is not for the king?"
"Bastard! You have no right to speak in front of the king!" Fu Luohan scolded, raising his palm to hit Yan Rou.
"Well..." Bu Dugen stretched out his hand to stop Fu Luohan, "You might as well listen to what he has to say..."
