After learning the identity of the person in front of him, Cao Zhang paid his respects to him sincerely. He still felt a little proud of Empress Situ. However, he felt that Hu'er was so young and there was no need to compete with him.
, wouldn’t it be better to just admit your mistake? Ever since, Hu’er was a little confused for a moment when he saw the Beijun Colonel in front of him who suddenly bowed his head to him.
Although Hu'er was young, he had been trained by the Emperor in the Hall of Houde. He knew not to embarrass the Northern Army Colonel too much, so he said helplessly: "Okay, Captain Cao, please get up... I'm just curious.
So I came to the Northern Army to take a look..." Cao Zhang smiled and stood up. At this time, Hu'er noticed that the appearance of the captain in front of him was very different from that of the people from the Central Plains.
With his light yellow beard and fluffy hair, he has a strange appearance.
"His Royal Highness, you should have come to the Northern Army a long time ago. Our Northern Army particularly welcomes Your Highness to supervise the army. How about I take Your Highness here for a tour?" Cao Zhang asked with a smile, and Hu'er naturally agreed.
Cao Zhang took the prince to visit the Northern Army camp. Along the way, he explained to Hu'er all about the Northern Army. Unlike the Southern Army, the Northern Army had a long tradition. Cao Zhang slapped his chest and boasted.
Without pause.
This time the Northern Army came and brought a lot of cavalry, and most of their horses were purchased from Xizhou and other places. They were tall and burly. These cavalrymen, just riding on those tall horses, could stabilize the pressure outside the Northeast Great Wall.
With all the enemies at one end, under Cao Zhang's explanation, Hu'er happily looked at nearly half of the envoys in the Northern Army. Only then did someone come to report and asked General Guan to let Cao Zhang go to discuss the matter.
"Your Highness... this..." Cao Zhang looked at Hu'er aside. Hu'er smiled and said, "We just happened to go there together. I also want to meet this General Guan. I heard about him.
There are many deeds...I heard that he took the lead in the attack on Kushan!"
When the two of them passed by, all the captains of the Northern and Southern Army had arrived. Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were sitting at the front, but there was a vacant seat because they both had the same status. No matter who came to sit in the upper seat, they would be
This aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals on the other side, so the two people who had a good personal relationship did not give up their positions mercilessly, and the two were discussing the war.
Hu'er walked into the camp. Suddenly, Guan Yu led the generals of the Northern Army to stand up suddenly. Under the leadership of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, as well as several army commanders of the Northern Army, all respectfully marched toward Hu'er.
Greetings, Guan Yu said seriously: "I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!!" Hu'er was also frightened by them and quickly returned the salute and said: "Gentlemen, please rise!"
Guan Yu just stood up. Suddenly, the Southern Army was a little embarrassed. They had been with Hu'er for a long time, but they were not so polite. However, Guan Yu had already paid his respects, and they could not sit still. They also stood up in a hurry. Zhang Liao did the same.
They also bowed to Hu'er seriously. Hu'er had never been treated with such courtesy since he entered the army, and he was extremely excited.
If the Northern Army hadn't arrived, he would have almost forgotten that he was still the prince. Only then did Guan Yu say, "Your Highness, please take a seat!" Hu'er smiled and looked at Zhang Liao again. Zhang Liao was speechless, and Hu'er was speechless.
Without restraint, he sat directly on the upper seat and had the opportunity to look at the generals of the Northern Army. Guan Yu, the leader, indeed, as Lu Meng said, had a beautiful beard.
This man is very tall. It can be said that he is the tallest man Hu'er has ever seen except for Ye Ye. Even if he is sitting there on his knees, you can see his burly physique and even the size of his body.
He was a head taller than Zhang Liao, and his arms were thicker than Hu'er's thighs. With his eyes narrowed, he had a domineering air, and the few people around him were much inferior to him.
"General Guan, I have heard about the general's reputation a long time ago. I am really happy to see you today..." Hu'er said. Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said proudly: "Your Highness is very flattering... I heard that His Highness and the Southern Army
As a supervisor, in fact, our Northern Army also welcomes His Highness..."
"Ahem..." Zhang Liao hurriedly interrupted the old friend in front of him, and then said: "Let's continue talking about the war... We don't know if the thieves know that their nest has been captured by us. If they
If you know, you can either contact other forces and fight us together, or you can flee further north."
"The people from Fuyu were sent not long ago. It is said that a large number of cavalry passed by... Therefore, I guess that the other party most likely knows the news of our arrival, and has already moved towards Sushen from Fuyu.
We retreated..." Zhang Liao pointed forward. In front of Zhang Liao, there was a map. Hu'er listened thoughtfully and did not interrupt them.
"Chang Sheng, I think we should leave some of our soldiers to guard here to prevent others from intruding. We should take the cavalry out and pursue them lightly. If they abandon their nest and flee all the way, their morale will be low and they will not be able to fight.
At this time, if we can catch up with them and launch a surprise attack, we can definitely bury these tens of thousands of people in the snowfield!"
Guan Yu looked at the map carefully and asked: "But how do we know their escape route?"
"We have quite a few prisoners... we can divide our forces to pursue them."
The two started discussing, and Hu'er just listened quietly. After the two made a decision, Guan Yu asked seriously: "What do you think, Your Highness?" Hu'er was stunned, but he didn't expect that there was also him.
When he had the opportunity to speak, he thought for a moment and then said: "I am young and don't understand this. It is up to the generals to make the decision."
In this way, the pursuit plan was established by them. Before leaving, Guan Yu sent an invitation to Hu'er. He hoped that Hu'er could go and sit with the Northern Army. When the Northern Army left, Jiang Wei and Lu Meng took
Hu'er left the camp, and Lu Meng complained: "How come His Highness is so close to that Huang Xuer of the Northern Army? Is it true that he is going to serve as a supervisor in the Northern Army?"
Hu'er laughed and asked, "My father gave me the position of supervising the Southern Army. How dare I leave without permission?"
"Boyue..." Hu'er looked at Jiang Wei and asked, "Why are the Northern Army members so respectful to me?" Jiang Wei explained: "The Northern Army has been in Luo for many years.
Near Yang, they have been favored by the emperor for a long time, and they are relatively stubborn and conservative... Ahem, it's not that they are more loyal than us, it's just that most of the soldiers in the southern army are from rangers, while the northern army has more people from good families, and
Almost all the generals of the Northern Army are from Sili..."
Jiang Wei's explanation was not very good, and Hu'er didn't ask any more questions. At night, he took the two of them to the Northern Army to meet Guan Yu. His arrival was extremely welcomed by the Northern Army, and the soldiers
They even lined up in formation, and Guan Yu led his soldiers to greet them. Hu'er was in a good mood, and met many of the soldiers one by one, and finally entered the camp.
Guan Yu seemed arrogant, but he was an easy person to get along with. Guan Yu was also very happy to learn that the prince had begun to learn Gongyang. Lu Meng was also restless. He was obviously in the Beijun camp, but he felt as if he was at home, leisurely and contented.
, Guan Yu didn’t blame him. When he saw Lu Meng holding a leg of lamb and gnawing it without regard for etiquette, Guan Yu just laughed and scolded him.
"This guy... I am a close friend who is almost carved out of the same mold. However, this guy is better. My old friend is even messier than this guy. Much worse!" Zai Hu'er asked.
Guan Yu explained why he was so close to Lu Meng now.
Hu'er left anyway, but his view of the Northern Army had changed a lot.
The next day, the Northern and Southern armies set out.
Zhang Liao took Hu'er with him, but was worried about leaving him behind. Zhang Liao took a group of 3,000 cavalry, Guan Yu took a group of 3,000 cavalry, and the other generals did the same, divided into ten groups.
The men and horses pursued in different directions. Along the way, Hu'er kept marching beside Zhang Liao all day long, chasing the enemy who didn't know where he was in the cold weather.
After traveling in this way for about ten days, several big Han scouts were ushered in. It is said that Guan Yu and his men successfully caught up with the bandits. The two sides fought a battle in an area called Qianshui Chan. Zhang Liao learned the news and immediately changed his mind.
Knowing the direction, he hurried towards the battlefield. When Zhang Liao arrived with his people, two days had passed since the scouts arrived.
On the scarlet snowfield, there are corpses of bandits everywhere. The Northern Army is cleaning up the battlefield. Countless horses, baggage, and rows of corpses piled on the ground. Amidst the howling of the blizzard, the prisoners of war kneel together.
, were imprisoned in a pen like painful animals. The Northern Army had already set up camp here, and followed Zhang Liao to see Guan Yu. Only then did Huer know that the enemies had been destroyed by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu just talked about the battle that day calmly, how he led his troops to easily catch up with the remnants of Xianbei, how he killed the opponent's chief, how he chased the prisoners, but when he saw the white snow,
With the blood stains that could not be covered, Hu'er felt that the battle was definitely not as easy as Guan Yu said, so Cao Zhang pulled Hu'er and talked about the battle happily.
It is said that the scouts discovered the traces of the enemy. Guan Yu immediately sent people to report to various armies, and he led his men to kill them directly. The Han army suddenly attacked, causing tens of thousands of Xianbei remnants to flee in a hurry. Only the thieves chief was thinking of a way to fight back.
, General Guan charged forward. Among the tens of thousands of troops, he suddenly reached the opponent's central army and stabbed the thieves chief to death with a single spear!
The thieves who saw this scene were heartbroken. A few of them wanted to organize soldiers, but they were all killed by Guan Yu. After that, the remaining Xianbei people just fled around. Tens of thousands of people were stunned.
There was no decent counterattack, and Guan Yu led the cavalry to charge back and forth. The horses of these long-distance migrations were almost exhausted, so how could they escape from the pursuit of the Northern Army?
When Cao Zhang came with his men, he only saw tens of thousands of prisoners and more than 20,000 corpses. In other words, in this battle, Guan Yu only led 3,000 elites and killed more than 20,000. Such a record
, It is simply unheard of. Now the eyes of the Northern and Southern Army looking at Guan Yu are somewhat different. Even a fool like Lu Meng no longer dares to be presumptuous in front of him.
