While Chen Xi was still in a romantic mood, Bingzhou had already turned into a pot of porridge. Not only was Lu Bu fighting, Cao Cao was also fighting, the Qiang and Hu were also fighting. What was even more embarrassing was that the opponents were not only Xianbei but also Qiang and Hu.
Naturally, the Qiang and the Hu were resolved by the Qiang and the Hu, and the Xianbei and the Xiongnu were resolved by Cao Cao and Lu Bu. However, it was obvious that the relationship between Cao Cao and Lu Bu was not good. After Lu Bu let go of his heart, his love and hatred were completely clear.
Hate is hate, dislike is dislike, you will not wrong your own people for any reason, you will do what you have to do, and you will never show mercy!
Therefore, even after Cao Cao sent the grain to Lu Bu without any discount, Lu Bu did not show any goodwill. He just said that as long as he was alive, Xianbei and the Huns could not cross Jiuyuan. His iron-like solid body was
Bingzhou's last line of defense.
How should I say this? Cao Cao was very happy to hear this. Although Lu Bu had a weird personality, he would not compromise in war. If he said he would resist, he would resist even if his face was covered with blood.
Therefore, with Lu Bu's words, Cao Cao was not worried about the Hu people coming from the east, and began to prepare to join forces with the Qiang and Hu, that is, Ma Chao, to deal with the Xianbei in the west of Bingzhou.
In other words, from a strategic point of view, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are now an alliance watching each other, and Lu Bu will not show any signs of retreating from the enemy. This is good news, but the hostility shown by Lu Bu towards Cao Cao makes Cao Cao
Very unhappy.
After all, Cao Cao also sent a lot of food to Lu Bu, and in order to make a good relationship with Lu Bu, he even gave a lot of meat, but Lu Bu turned out to be so cold. You know, Cao Cao has always wanted to win over Lu Bu's people.
However, Cao Cao's ambitions have not diminished, and the interests of the country are still placed before his own interests. With the idea of taking the overall situation into consideration, he does not have the same understanding as Lu Bu, and instead begins to mobilize his hands and weapons, preparing to deal with Xianbei severely, not to mention beating him to death.
, at least make the other party no longer able to jump.
Of course, Cao Cao is not very strong now. After all, the new soldiers who have never seen blood and the elite soldiers who have seen blood are completely different in combat power. However, after Cao Cao was beaten once by Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he still has not recovered.
However, because this opportunity was rare, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to invest a large number of troops to attack the Xianbei tribe instead of the strategic defense as previously expected. For this reason, Cao Cao even mobilized Cao Ren's troops who had been stationed in Wancheng to Chang'an to prepare
All his efforts were accomplished in one battle.
You must know that Cao Ren's tribe in Wancheng is the only one left under Cao Cao. They have experienced hundreds of battles. It can be said that this elite army of more than 10,000 people is almost the strongest among Cao Cao's forces and has never been destroyed.
, it can be regarded as Cao Cao’s army with the best armor, equipment and quality of soldiers!
Cao Cao's brother Cao Ren has always been the commander-in-chief. He was stationed in Wancheng to guard against Yuan Shu, and later to guard against Sun Ce. Not long ago, Zhou Yu relied on Ma Chao to shout from a distance, which finally eased the atmosphere between the two sides.
After Ma Chao sent a large group of horses out of Wancheng, Cao Cao moved away most of the original Wancheng army to express his sincerity.
After Zhou Yu received the news from Wancheng, he withdrew the army deployed in Nanyang area to Xiangyang. The originally tense situation between the two sides changed and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
With such a prerequisite, Cao Cao finally completed the integration of his army, and then secretly raised 50,000 troops, with Zhang Xiu as the vanguard and headed to the northwest of Bingzhou, preparing for a big fight.
Zhang Xiu was very moved by this appointment, and he had the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant, but he did not notice how intoxicated Cao Cao was when he saw his aunt, Zou, who came to see him off.
Then Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren successively led their troops to the expedition. This time, Cao Cao did not go, but he sent all his powerful generals to Bingzhou, including Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Du Xi.
, Xun Yu and Dian Wei were left behind.
As for Ma Chao, it can be said that he is high-spirited now, but these are not important. What is important is that he did not collide with Cao Cao after gaining strength. On the contrary, he was more in awe of Cao Cao, which was probably a kind of awe for wisdom, so he
Agreeing to Cao Cao's suggestion, he took the back path of Xianbei in Mobei and did exactly the same thing as Huo Qubing.
The difference is that this time Ma Chao is leading the Qiang and Hu. Ma Chao doesn't care whether it is a certificate of recognition or something else. He knows very well that the Qiang and Hu need food, slaves, finances, cattle and sheep, and what the Han Dynasty wants is stability in northern Xinjiang.
There is no conflict between what the two sides want, and it is just right to kill Xianbei and free up space.
So Ma Chao set out on the road with the Qiang people who were willing to trust him. Although it was a very dangerous road to go to Mobei, due to Ma Chao's bravery and his title of king, some Qiang people still followed his footsteps to fight.
As for more Qiang and Hu people who are waiting and watching, the road to Mobei is too difficult. Just taking this road alone will cost two people due to heavy snow and strong winds. In addition, Ma Chao did not force it, but only volunteered. In the end, only those who followed Ma Chao
There are more than 8,000 Qiang people, and these are young and fearless warriors of the Qiang people.
As for the other Qiang people, Ma Chao used the king's order to let them follow his father and uncle before he returned, and then asked Ma Teng to lead the Qiang people to prepare for Cao Cao's response.
The fact that the Qiang and Hu people turned to Cao Cao could not be concealed when most of the Qiang and Hu troops were in action, so when to take action was very important. There was only one chance, so Zhong Yao personally came as Ma Teng's military advisor.
After Zhong Yao became Ma Teng's military advisor, he didn't do much. He only valued Pound, whom he had previously valued, even more. He greatly strengthened Pound's troops and allocated a lot of weapons and equipment to Pound.
Make a change.
As for the Qiang people in the brigade, Zhong Yao directly eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, retaining only the strongest ones, and then trained them in an almost crazy way. He was very clear about the reason why the Qiang and Hu were inferior to the Han.
, now that we know the cause, the solution is equally simple.
Just let the Qiang people recognize that they are Han people, and let the Qiang warriors recognize that they are part of the empire. This kind of thing is difficult to say, but it is also very simple to say simple!
The simplest way is to let a general with legion talent train them, because legion talent itself is the combination of will and cloud, and the general's will itself has its own cognitive concepts. Subtly, over time, the soldiers will also become the same.
Will also recognize it!
But this method is too slow, so Zhong Yao paid attention to Pang De. As long as Pang De activates the legion talent, the instantly enhanced effect will directly get a large number of responders, an invincible army.
