Fuyu has been standing still outside Liaodong City. In the past two days, Gongsun Kang and Ma Dai also tried to attack several times, but to no avail. Finally, the two armies entered a confrontation stage, and Gongsun Kang and Ma Dai could not see through Wei.
Qiu Tai's intention was to hold his troops still for the time being and wait for reinforcements.
Three days later, Lou Ban led 50,000 Karasuma cavalry to the border of Liaodong, and Fu Yu's scouts immediately went to inform Weiqoutai.
After Wei Qoutai learned about it, he was overjoyed and immediately dispatched his troops and generals, asking Mokoduo to follow him on the expedition. Mokomo stayed at the camp to prevent anything from happening in Liaodong City.
Yuqoutai divided the more than 98,000 soldiers into two groups. He personally led 78,000 men to ambush Louban, leaving 20,000 men for Mokomo to guard the camp.
Fifty miles west of Liaodong City, the thunderous sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the world. Lou Ban took over the position of his deceased father Qiu Liju and became the great chanyu of Wuwan people. After receiving Gao Fei's imperial edict, he immediately ordered everyone to
Karasuma's 50,000 elite assault cavalry rushed to Liaodong, galloping non-stop from Changli County.
Lou Ban was wearing luxurious clothes and came along the bumpy road, which made him a little uncomfortable. The Karasuma people are a horse race, but Lou Ban is an exception. He is different from his father and brother. He has been in poor health since he was a child.
After Qiu Liju was weak and took refuge with Gao Fei, Lou Ban was raised by Gao Fei's side and accepted Chinese studies. All he learned were Chinese poems and etiquette, and he looked very elegant.
After so many years of integration, the Wuwan people have gradually integrated into the Han people and been assimilated by the Han people. They are no longer the Wuhuan people they used to be. They have more Han people's etiquette but less Wuhuan barbarism. In addition, the whole
There has been no war in the Northeast for nearly ten years. Except for some necessary troops conducting drills, the rest of the Karasuma people are engaged in men farming and women weaving, no doubt like the Han people.
"Stop!"
The army was marching rapidly, and suddenly the floor squad shouted loudly, and orders were passed to the back in a succession. The men and horses stayed in place together, and the billowing smoke gradually disappeared and dimmed.
"Da Shanyu, why did you stop?" Nanlou came from behind and came to the front of Lou Ban, asking suspiciously.
"Our army has been galloping all day and night, and we are exhausted. If the enemy finds out the news and ambush us secretly, we will lose our troops. The city of Liaodong is strong, with 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there is sufficient food and fodder. As long as we hold on without fighting, we can resist
More than 100,000 people are not a problem. This place is far from Liao
It's not that far to the east. There is a narrow road ahead. Although the hillsides on both sides are not high, it is very easy to avoid an ambush. Just in case, our army temporarily arrived here, set up a temporary camp, rested overnight, and recuperated.
After recharging your energy, we can move forward tomorrow." Lou Ban said cautiously.
Nanlou is already over forty years old. He is a senior figure in Wuwanzhong. He is the same generation as Qiu Liju. At that time, he was quite powerful in Wuhuanzhong in the three counties. Now that he heard Louban speak like this, he thought about it carefully.
After a while, he felt that it made sense, so he said: "Okay, then according to what Shanyu said, I will order my subordinates to rest where they are and set up a temporary camp."
Lou Ban nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle!"
Nanlou waved his hand and said: "It's just a little effort, but Da Shanyu has profoundly grasped the essence of Han talent learning. It is appropriate to be so cautious. From now on, the Wuwan people will rely on Da Shanyu."
After saying that, Nanlou turned his horse and rushed back. However, to be honest, when Gao Fei consecrated Louban as Karasuma's great chanyu, Nanlou and some other old guys used force to fight against Louban.
However, Lou Ban did not take it seriously, so he used the political skills he learned from the Han people to divide the Wuwan people bit by bit and make them all support him. This is how he sat in the position of the Great Chanyu.
stable.
When Lou Ban saw Nan Lou leaving, he nodded with satisfaction and said secretly: "As long as I am in office for one day, the Karasuma people will always become an indispensable nation in China. You all just wait.
Karasuma people will definitely flourish in my hands..."
That night, 50,000 Wuwan people camped on the spot and stopped moving forward. Although the camp was simple, it was well defended. Lou Ban was once friends with Sima Yi. The two learned from each other, and Lou Ban even learned from Sima Yi.
He learned a lot of things, knew the beauty of marching and formation, and worshiped Guan Ning and Bing Yuan as his teacher. He was considered a talented general.
It is a pity that Lou Ban has never fought in a war and has been raised by Gao Fei in Jicheng, leaving him as the unofficial Shanyu of the Karasuma people. This time is Lou Ban's first expedition, so Lou Ban will be very cautious.
I want to use the name of suppressing the rebellion to bring back the Karasuma Riders who have disappeared for many years.
Lou Ban has been the Great Chanyu for almost five years. In these five years, he has made great contributions to making the Wuwan people an indispensable part of the Huaxia Kingdom. He encouraged the people to raise high-quality war horses, making Changli, Liaoxi, and Yun
Prefecture and other places have become the most famous horse herding bases, and they use excellent horses for breeding. After countless repeated trials, the Karasuma horse has finally become the most sophisticated war horse in the Huaxia Kingdom, and it is also the most used war horse in the Chinese army.
horse.
The Karasuma horse is not too tall, but it has strong vitality and a large load capacity. Because of this, the iron pagoda of China can be maintained. Even if it runs, it is only slightly inferior to a thousand-mile horse, but it is
It is more excellent than ordinary horses.
As a result, Lou Ban was nicknamed the "King of Horses" by Gao Fei. Although it was a joking name, this "King of Horses" was hard-won, and the further integration of Wuwan people and Han people further promoted the integration of ethnic groups.
Nowadays, the Karasuma people are not only active in Changli. They can gallop on the entire grassland outside the Great Wall. Gao Fei also intends to let Karasuma defend the northern border for himself. Therefore, during the period of foreign wars, the remaining military strength in the north is relatively small.
less.
After nightfall, Lou Ban took off his clothes and dressed in casual clothes. He held "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand and read it at night. He read it with great gusto.
After a while, a personal guard came in, knelt down directly on the ground, saluted Lou Ban and said: "Dad Chanyu, when the patrol army was patrolling, they found a scout of Fu Yuren, and they have been arrested now.
, and handed it over to the Great Chan."
Lou Ban put down the book in his hand and said slowly: "Oh? Then bring it with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards pushed a scout in from outside the tent and forced the scout to kneel on the ground.
Lou Ban walked up to the scout, looked him over, and asked: "Did Yuqoutai send you to find out my whereabouts?"
The scout snorted coldly and said nothing.
"Well, you have some backbone. Since you don't say anything, then I will help you. Whoever comes, push it out and kill it." Lou Ban said loudly.
The scout still didn't say anything, there was no trace of fear on his face, and his eyes were extremely sharp, and he allowed his guards to push him out of the tent.
Not long after, Lou Ban heard the sound of a sword being raised and lowered, and the soldiers outside the tent presented the scout's head. After a quick glance, Lou Ban said: "Send the order, and the whole army will take more precautions."
, the patrol team will be twice as large as usual. If any scouts are caught, they will be killed without mercy. There is no need to report to me."
"promise!"
………………
"Have the sent out scouts come back?" Yuqoutai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the dark woods. He was surrounded by black shadows, all of them were his subordinates. The whole forest was full of confusion.
It was quiet, with no sound except for Weiqoutai himself.
"Your Majesty, not yet." The soldier replied.
Weiqutai said suspiciously: "Is there some accident?"
Not long after, a scout came back with a hint of panic on his face. When he reached Weiqoutai, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good. All ten scouts sent were killed by the Chinese army."
, the Chinese army’s camp is very tightly guarded, and our army cannot enter at all.”
"The Chinese army is just a dog raised by Gao Fei. The Wuwan people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Han people and harm the Xianbei people. Now they come to deal with us Fuyu people. This time I will definitely make sure they never come back. Since I can't understand
The internal situation of the Karasuma people, forget it, let them all withdraw, don't make fearless sacrifices," Yuqoutai said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Mokodo walked in from the side. After seeing Weiqoutai, he cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, are we still sending troops tonight?"
"No, don't send out troops for the time being. We are waiting for them here. When they come tomorrow, they will definitely be ambushed. Send the order and let everyone stay tight for another day. Tomorrow, no one will be allowed to make any mistakes.
"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mokodo turned around and went out, giving Wei Qoutai's order.
At this moment, Xuzhou, Jiangdu, and the naval camp.
"General! I have something to see you at the end!"
Gan Ning was inspecting his navy on the ship. Suddenly he heard Zang Ba shouting from the shore, and he hurriedly asked: "General Zang, please wait a moment, I will come down soon..."
Zang Ba stood on the shore in armor, watching Gan Ning sailing towards the shore in a light boat from the battleship, he clasped his fists and said: "I will pay my respects to the general!"
After docking, Gan Ning jumped out of the boat, glanced at Zang Ba, and asked, "General Zang, do you have a problem with me?"
Zang Ba nodded, and immediately took out a secret letter from his arms, handed it to Gan Ning, and said slowly: "This is a secret letter written by the emperor himself, and was brought to the general by the scouts.
But the scout went to the general's residence and did not see the general, so he had to send it to me. General, please take a look."
Gan Ning immediately opened the letter, and after reading it in a hurry, he laughed happily, clapped his hands and applauded: "That's great, it's really great. I work hard to run the navy for this."
One day..."
Zang Ba saw that Gan Ning was so happy and asked, "General, why are you so happy?"
Gan Ning smiled and said: "The secret must not be leaked. General Zang will naturally know it when the time comes. General Zang, please provide me with food and grass for half a year. My navy will go to sea in the near future..."
