Seeing the soldiers rushing out, Hu'er couldn't sit still. He tried to rush forward several times, but was blocked by Jiang Wei, preventing him from taking risks. For this small tribe with less than 30,000 people, the same size
The Southern Army could definitely achieve a crushing victory, and Zhang Liao did not relax his vigilance because of the small number of enemies. He still let his soldiers lurk until night before launching a surprise attack.
The effect of the surprise attack was astonishing. When the Confederate soldiers broke through the opponent's camp and charged into the enemy group, these people did not even react. They saw that the Confederate knights had already charged back and forth. At this time,
, Jiang Wei just stopped to stop the prince, Hu'er mounted the horse, and gave the order, and everyone followed him, and thousands of his own troops also joined the battlefield with the rear army.
In just a moment, the Confederate army had completed three back-and-forth charges. As for Hu'er, his blood was boiling. He waved the spear in his hand, possessed him, and thrust the spear into a person's chest, and then pulled out his sword.
He came and slashed among the crowd without stopping. The battle did not last long. As the thief chief knelt down to beg for mercy, everyone also knelt down.
However, when these people threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, the Confederate army surrounded them with ill intentions. You must know that compared to the prisoners, the heads of these people were more important to the Confederate soldiers.
The effect is greater, these are military achievements that can promote them, so they are staring at these heads with fiery eyes, waiting for orders.
The Confederate army refused to surrender. Why didn't they surrender? Because of their military exploits.
Zhang Liao did not give an order. He rode a horse and slowly came to the front of the thief chief. The thief chief was naked and trembling all over. Zhang Liao looked at him seriously and asked with some disdain: "You are the emperor of Xianbei?"
king?"
"I'm not, I'm just the leader of a tribe. How dare you call yourself king?" This guy was smart and could even speak elegant language. This made Zhang Liao a little surprised and asked: "Then who are you and why do you say that?
Yayan?"
"I am originally from Ningzhou. My family committed a crime and fled to the outside of the Great Wall. I grew up outside the Great Wall, but Yayan has never forgotten it... It is not easy to live outside the Great Wall, so I gathered the remnants of Xianbei.
He pretended to be the great-grandson of King Xianbei just to win over more people so that he could confess to the Han Dynasty..." As the man said, Zhang Liao laughed, waved his hand and shouted: "Lu Yi! You
Come talk to him!"
A handsome young man walked out from among the crowd, which surprised Hu'er. He thought that Zhang Liao would find a vicious person to scare the sinner. However, this guy who walked out was a handsome man.
Young man, he looked at the man with some curiosity and wrote down the man's name in his mind. Lu Yi came to the man, and Zhang Liao ordered everyone to escort the prisoners and imprison them nearby.
They could finally have a hearty and hot meal here, which dispelled the soldiers' dissatisfaction with the treatment of the prisoners. Everyone smiled and began to occupy these people's camps, preparing to have a good hot meal, and Lu
It was decided that the thief chief should be left alone. The thief chief stood up with a charming smile and said, "I call you Wang Ping and pay my respects to this general."
"Easy to say, easy to say...How many years have you been outside the Great Wall?"
"A full eighteen years."
"After such a long time, it seems that your Excellency is also very familiar with Beyond the Wall... Come here, get him a coat!" As Lu Yi spoke, a soldier immediately brought the coat, and the thief chief behaved particularly
He was so excited that he wanted to bow to Lu Yi again, but Lu Yi just smiled and asked, "Isn't life outside the Great Wall easy?" The man shook his head and said, "It's really not as good as the big man."
The two people suddenly became like friends. Lu Yi didn't ask anything about the situation outside the Great Wall. He just asked about his home life and chatted slowly. After chatting for a while, Lu Yi took him back to his camp. The soldiers were a little confused.
, still guarding the door, occasionally hearing laughter coming from the camp, and unknowingly thought that Lu Yi had rebelled.
Hu'er also took Jiang Wei and Lu Meng away, returned to the main tent, and took a mouthful of hot soup. Hu'er talked about his recent achievements with great interest. He killed two enemies, and the three of them chatted.
, Hu'er then asked: "The captain named Lu Yi, he looks pretty and handsome, what talents does he have?"
"Your Highness, this man is a genius. He is the first person to have a full crown in military science. He is very popular among the generals. When he was in Xizhou, he was responsible for investigating thieves... He is smart and can often tell someone from a few words.
You can tell the truth from the other person's words and tell the truth..." Lu Meng said seriously. Hu'er was stunned. He had never heard Lu Meng praise someone so much.
Jiang Wei also nodded and said, "Colonel Lu is indeed extraordinary."
"It seems that I have to find a time to visit him and ask him about the principles of fighting."
...
After a long time, Lu Yi came to Zhang Liao's camp. Zhang Liao was not surprised at all and asked calmly: "Did you find out the news?" Lu Yi nodded, and then said: "This person is not from Ningzhou.
He is the descendant of the former Xianbei bandit chief. He lied because he was afraid of being killed. He said that he had been outside the Great Wall for eighteen years, but he asked about his age, family situation, and the situation in Ningzhou.
, his preface does not match the postscript..."
"But he is very clear about the information about the thief chief. Just now, I deliberately slandered the thief chief. In fact, he was in compliance. In fact, he was already furious... After I told him, he quickly confessed. As for the situation outside the wall... he
What he said is also false..." Lu Yi said coldly: "This guy said that there are less than 40,000 Xianbei remnants outside the Great Wall, and the rest have fled further north..."
"oh?"
"Actually, this is not the case. Most of the people in this camp are old and weak. Among the people we captured, there are less than 3,000 young and strong. Is this possible in a Xianbei tribe? I think their young and strong are
He must have gone out. In fact, this person may not be a real bandit chief..." Hearing Lu Yi's words, Zhang Liao was shocked. It was so dark that he even forgot to check on the prisoners. This was something he did not do as the commander-in-chief.
Qualified place.
"No, if the young men are out, it will definitely affect our expedition... You and others will interrogate the prisoners individually to find out the truth. By the way, inform the captains that there are still thieves around, so don't take it lightly!"
"Welcome!" Lu Yi bowed to him.
Lu Yi first sent people to notify the captains to prepare for the enemy. Then he sent people to interrogate the prisoners. He continued to interrogate the thief chief named "Wang Ping".
After an hour, Lu Yi just got the truth from the half-dead, tortured and almost collapsed thief chief. It turned out that he was just a tribal leader who stayed behind, and was indeed not a thief chief.
Several of them once went to Hezhou to learn knowledge. After studying for four years, they fled back beyond the Great Wall and recruited more than 80,000 Xianbei troops. However, they did not dare to attack the Han border again. In such a cold winter, their thieves chiefs brought
The gathered Xianbei troops went to plunder the tribes further northeast. It is said that they were called Dingling, and even the remnants of Fuyu and Goguryeo who were defeated by the Han in the past.
Among these people, the remnants of Xianbei are considered the most powerful force. This is all the result of two people. Tan Shihuai unified the Xianbei tribes and made Xianbei have 400,000 people and 200,000 string control people.
, this made Xianbei the most powerful force outside the Great Wall. The second person to thank is Duan Jiong. Duan Jiong relentlessly pursued Xianbei, beheading hundreds of thousands, and killed countless people due to disease, leaving only five Xianbei people left.
Tens of thousands of people were almost destroyed.
All the forces that had surrendered to Xianbei also began to take revenge, which made things worse. It was precisely because of this that Xianbei became more united. Tan Shihuai spent his whole life unable to integrate the Xianbei tribes, and finally under the powerful
It was completed under the worry of genocide. After the integration, Xianbei worked together to defeat several tribes and expand the group, once again reaching more than 80,000 people.
When Lu Yi told Zhang Liao about the news he had discovered, Zhang Liao was a little emotional. He didn't expect that the big man didn't know about this news, and he didn't know why the merchants who often went out to trade didn't tell them about it. If it hadn't been for this
If the remnants of Xianbei are given time to train their troops for the first time, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will plunder Youning again.
This expedition actually yielded such a harvest.
Zhang Liao hurriedly sent out scouts to Yang County, Hezhou.
.....
Outside Yangxian County, there is a strict Northern Army camp. The difference between the Northern Army and the Southern Army can be seen at a glance. Compared with the Southern Army, which has grown stronger like a nouveau riche, the Northern Army has upheld hundreds of years of tradition.
Traditionally, they were unsmiling. Even ordinary soldiers had a murderous look on their faces. People like Hua Xiong and Lu Meng simply couldn't stay here.
Guan Yu sat in the upper position, stroking his long beard, listening to the news from the Southern Army scouts, and then nodded and said: "Go back and tell General Zhang that I will set off tomorrow and will catch up with him early."
, the scout paid his respects, and then left to see him off. Guan Yu looked around. Unlike the Southern Army, the Northern Army only had five captains.
Among the five captains of the Northern Army, one is called Xu Huang, who was a close soldier of Lieutenant Dong in the past, one is called Pang De, who is a good general with a background in military science, and one is called Xu Chu, who is from the Xizhou garrison.
, one person is called Cao Zhang, but he was born in the Jiaozhou Garrison, and the other person is called Gan Ning, and he never mentions his origin, but on the surface, like Cao Zhang, he was promoted from the Jiaozhou Garrison.
In this expedition, Guan Yu only brought Xu Huang and Cao Zhang with him.
"General, I wonder what happened? Aren't we going to capture each tribe along the way? Why do we have to catch up with the Southern Army?"
Cao Zhang asked puzzledly.
"The intelligence is wrong. There are not many cavalry in the Confederate army. If you want to wipe out all the enemy troops, we still need to go to the rescue without letting any one escape."
"Ha..." Cao Zhang snorted disdainfully.
I don’t know whether it was against the Southern Army or the remnants of Xianbei.
