Chapter 271 Lu Bu’s brilliant plan to determine Hedong (IV)

After Xu Huang successfully ambushed Yang Ding's 30,000 people with 18,000 people, he ordered people to lead troops to clean the battlefield and reorganize the prisoners. He instigated Hua's horse and came to Yang Ding with a big axe: "Yang Ding, I want to borrow something from you!"

Yang Ding's face turned pale. Usually, such words were not good at this time. He thought Xu Huang wanted his neck, so he said tremblingly: "General Xu, I heard that your lord once issued a military order that he would not kill prisoners without permission. I have no grudges with you in the past. General Xu is a talented general valued by the ancestors. Don't ruin your bright future because of me!"

"Yang Ding, where have you been thinking about? Killing a wine bag like you will only dirty my axe! I want your military talisman, take it out obediently, I will spare your life!" Xu Huang held the big axe, squinted his eyes, and looked at Yang Ding with contempt.

Yang Ding was just a brave man. Now he was a prisoner and his courage disappeared. Especially when he looked at Xu Huang's cold axe, he shuddered and had to hand over the military talisman obediently.

Xu Huang got the military talisman and recruited Wei Yue: "Wei Lushou, please work hard and bring two thousand cavalry, Yang Ding's military talisman, and according to the plan arranged by the lord before, we will collect the three cities of Puban, Ruicheng and Dayang one by one." Wei Yue took the order and left.

Xu Huang asked Dian Wei and Pan Feng to lead 5,000 troops to reinforce Lu Bu's army in Baibo Valley. Because Lu Bu was determined to take down Baibo Valley and completely eliminate Baibo thieves, he felt that the more troops they had, the better.

Xu Huang brought the remaining 9,000 troops to reorganize and rectify the more than 24,000 prisoners.

After the strict selection of the Central Army's three items of body, will and quality, only two thousand cavalry and 4,000 infantry were barely incorporated into the Central Army's combat soldiers. The slightly worse two thousand cavalry and 4,000 infantry were incorporated into auxiliary soldiers. The remaining more than 4,000 cavalry and more than 8,000 infantry were temporarily incorporated into the military farming soldiers. Now they are also cleaning the battlefield and burying the bodies. The Xiliang soldiers who have just been reorganized into the Central Army's combat soldiers' auxiliary soldiers have not sent weapons. They need to go through a month of brainwashing and training before they can send weapons to participate in the battle.

However, when Wei Yue passed by Wenxi County, he sent someone to tell him that Xi County Magistrate Wei Xi and asked him to pretend to be a soldier of the Central Army to deceive Yang Ding. The Pei family members drew 4,000 elite troops and followed him to recover the three cities of Puban, Ruicheng and Dayang.

Wei Xi quickly lit up four thousand elite soldiers, pretended to be prisoners of the Central Army, and was strung up by ropes, following the two thousand cavalrymen of Wei Yue.

When passing by Anyi City, Wei Yue sent people to spread the word that Zhu Ye, the governor of Bingzhou, and Xu Shu, the military advisor stationed in the Wei family, supported two thousand elite soldiers, and they all pretended to be prisoners of the Central Army soldiers, and were also strung together by ropes.

While Wei Yue sent a scout to control the main roads from Anyi City to the three counties to prevent Xiliang soldiers from coming to inform the two battlefields, he was moving slowly and slowly. He had to make sure that he could not be too early or too late.

Two days later, Wei Yue arrived at Dayang County. More than 3,000 Xiliang soldiers were stationed in this county. Although they were all old, weak and remnants, it would take a lot of effort to attack. Moreover, this county is very close to the Yellow River. On the other side of the Yellow River is Shan County in Hongnong County. Zhang Ji, a long general under Dong Zhuo, was stationed here. Lu Bu had a high evaluation of Zhang Ji. Wei Yue was afraid and did not dare to attack the city rashly. I was afraid that the stalemate would last too long. Zhang Ji sent troops to help, and according to the strategy formulated by Lu Bu, he deceived Dayang City.

Wei Yue shouted at the top of the city: "We are ordered by General Yang to escort the Central Army to come here!"

The magistrate of Dayang County appointed by Dong Zhuo quickly climbed up the city tower and leaned over and replied: "Is there any general's military talisman?"

Wei Yue quickly sent someone to present Yang Ding's military talisman. The Dayang County Magistrate verified the military talisman. He looked at Wei Yue and the Central Army soldiers behind him dressed as Western Liang soldiers, and asked suspiciously: "Why have I never seen you before?"

Wei Yue bowed and smiled and said, "I am the general's nephew. My surname is Yang and his name is Chaozhi. I came to join the general a few days ago. I was originally stationed in Puban County, so you have never seen me!"

The magistrate of Dayang County still looked suspicious and hesitated to refuse to open the door. He also wanted to send someone to verify whether Yang Ding had a family named Yang Yue.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Yue quickly pushed out a person behind him. The man shouted loudly: "Do you, the county magistrate, still want to do it? After checking the military talisman, don't you open the door? If you want to drive later, I will slap you to death with a horse whip!"

The magistrate of Dayang County looked closely and saw that the person who spoke out was Yang Ding's deputy general and Yang Ding's cousin Yang Wei. He was cruel by nature and had always been cruel to those who disobey him. In the system of the Western Liang Army, literati were often despised and bullied. The magistrate of Dayang County obtained this official title by relying on being a civil servant under Yang Ding's sect. He naturally did not dare to offend Yang Ding's cousin. Seeing that Yang Wei was angry, he quickly sent someone to open the city gate.

The reason why Wei Yue brought Yang Wei with him was to follow Lu Bu's teachings. Any strategy must be considered in case of failure and should be prepared for both. Yang Wei was activated by using military talismans.

When Yang Wei saw the county magistrate open the city gate, he said tremblingly: "General Wei, can you move the things that are pressing against my waist away? Be careful!"

Seeing that the soldiers under his command had captured the county magistrate and controlled the city gate, Wei Yue took back the sword that was resting on Yang Wei's waist and said coldly: "You still need more cooperation between Yang Wei, Puban and Ruicheng. As long as you cooperate properly, my lord will consider putting you back!"

In this way, Wei Yue easily dispelled Puban and Ruicheng. After firmly controlling these three counties, he quickly sent troops to dispel the forts close to Dong Zhuo's family and wiped out all the aristocratic families. Since then, the areas controlled by Yang Ding in the southern part of the Yanchi in Hedong were occupied by the Central Army. Zhang Ji, who was stationed in the area around Hongnong Shan County, received a war report, but found that Hedong County had been firmly controlled by Lu Bu's Central Army. He had to guard Shan County to prevent Lu Bu's army from sneaking across the Yellow River to attack Luoyang from then on, and did not dare to send troops to retake Hedong again.

But Dian Wei and Pan Feng led 5,000 troops to Baibo Valley, and Lu Bu had already reorganized the captured Xiongnu cavalry.

When he set out from Meijicheng, the 70,000 Hun cavalrymen were shot and killed by Zhang Yan's archers along the way. After entering Baibo Valley and being ambushed by Lu Bu's army, they were killed more than 13,000 people, leaving only more than 44,000, of which more than 15,000 were wounded, and less than 30,000 were able to fight on horseback. Lu Bu also selected eight thousand elite soldiers from it, leaving only for more than 20,000 cavalrymen from Huchuquan, who were willing to be a puppet of Lu Bu.

Hu Chuquan looked at the more than 20,000 cavalry under his command and frowned. He could see that these were the mean riders of various tribes, and most of them were greedy and afraid of death. When the Hun cavalry was ambushed by the Central Army, the cavalry who had died in battle pulled their bows and shot arrows to resist, but these guys simply jumped off the horse's back and lay on the ground to pretend to be dead, so they saved their lives. It was simply a joke to rely on these guys to help him win the throne of the Great Shanyu!

Seeing Hu Chuquan look embarrassed, Lu Bu asked, "Da Shanyu, why are you so frowning?"

Hu Chuquan pointed at the group of Hun soldiers and sighed loudly: "If Feng Xiangong only gave me this group of people who were greedy for life and fear of death, I was afraid that I would not defeat Yu Fuluo and could not enter Meijicheng. I would not be able to win the great Shanyu, and I would be useless to have Feng Xiangong's kindness!"

Lu Bu smiled and pointed at his Central Army: "Da Shanyu, how do you see these soldiers under my command?"

Hu Chuquan looked at the Central Army with fierce spirit and high morale, and his expression was full of envy and jealousy: "The Central Army of Fengxian Duke ambushed me 60,000 troops with 30,000 combat soldiers, killed more than 13,000 of me, and captured more than 44,000 of me. The Central Army itself only lost more than 1,000 people. If these cavalry under my command had the same combat power as the Central Army, let alone defeating the Wuhuan, what's the difficulty of the Xianbei?"

Lu Bu was full of excitement and laughed: "Da Shanyu, you should know that most of my soldiers were adapted from the White Bo thief and the Black Mountain bandits!"

Hu Chuquan was stunned for a moment, thinking about the combat power of the Baibo thieves and the Black Mountain bandits, which was slightly worse than that of their Hun cavalry, especially the Baibo thieves, who had little training and were purely based on quantity. Now, look at the combat power of the Central Army of Lu Bu, and look at the combat power of Zhang Yan Feiyan Army, influenced by Lu Bu, and be reborn!

Hu Chuquan said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Wang really doesn't know how Fengxian Gong turned those bandits into elite soldiers today?"

Lu Bu smiled proudly and said, "The Great Shanyu, the elite soldiers are not selected, but trained! Since you complain that you are not useful, why not give them all to my Central Army. Our Central Army will definitely train them strictly and then give them to you after passing the training. I don't know what the Great Shanyu meant?!"

Hu Chuquan wanted to get Lu Bu to brainwash all the Hun soldiers and control them all into his own mercenaries. He had never seen Lu Bu's central army train from both physical and mental aspects. However, according to the daily training of other troops, he felt that Lu Bu could not change the nature of these Hun cavalrymen for him. After all, they were still Huns. No matter what tricks Lu Bu played, they still listened to me, the Great Chanyu, and thought for a long time. Hu Chuquan agreed with Lu Bu's proposal.

After Huchuquan's guidance, Lu Bu ordered people to kill all the leaders of the Huchuquan's hostile tribes in Huchuquan, and then select people with high cavalry and shooting skills and prestige from ordinary herders to be generals at all levels. The organization of the Huchuquan cavalry is arranged according to the ranks, two teams, battalions, brigades, divisions and troops of the Central Army.

In order to prevent the Huns from repeating the recurrence, Lu Bu still sent Dian Wei, Pan Feng and others to take care of the Huns who had been disarmed and horses with five thousand troops. Lu Bu explained to Hu Chuquan: "You cannot go to the battlefield without the training of our Central Army!"
