Before dawn, Lu Yan had already arrived at the cavalry camp located on the outskirts of Chenliu City.
today,
It was the day when Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan led the cavalry to leave Chenliu for Luoyang. On the day when Hongnong was conducting long-distance training, Lu Yan had to come in person to bid farewell to them.
In the camp, three thousand cavalrymen stood quietly in a square formation.
They are elite veterans from various teams in Chenliu County, as well as some newly recruited recruits with excellent qualifications and potential.
Zhao Yun stood at the front of the cavalry formation, and standing halfway behind him was Xia Houlan, the deputy general of this cavalry.
Except for those who have entered other teams and held important positions, almost all of the former Changshan White Horse Yicon are in this army.
However, they have all accumulated meritorious service and become middle- and lower-level officers.
Lu Yan looked at these men with resolute faces, and then told Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan: "Zilong, Ziheng... the road to Luoyang is difficult and dangerous. Please take care along the way and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
Zhao Yun clasped his fists, lowered his head and replied: "I will obey your teacher's teachings, and I will never let my brothers make unnecessary sacrifices!"
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Xia Houlan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I will not let you down this time!"
Xia Houlan, who used to be a bit green in the past, has gradually developed some general style after so many years of training.
Lu Yan stepped forward, helped Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan up, then turned to Xia Houlan and said, "Zi Heng, you have never let me down."
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Xia Houlan, who was still a little inferior because of being behind the crane, suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Yan.
Xia Houlan's lips trembled a little, but she remained speechless.
Ignoring Xia Houlan's emotional ups and downs, Lu Yan turned and walked towards Lu Lingqi.
After taking a bowl of wine from Lu Lingqi, Lu Yan raised the bowl high and faced the three thousand knights and Zhao Yun.
Lu Yan's words seemed to remind Lu Lingqi of her hometown, Bingzhou, where she was suffering.
So she herself poured a bowl of wine from the place where the wine bowls were placed and held it in her hand.
Lu Yan continued: "Although this trip is an experience, it is also a battle of life and death. I hope you all come back safely and take care of it!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan was the first to drink it all in one gulp!
Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and the three thousand soldiers also finished drinking the Zhuangxing wine, and then they all bowed deeply to Lu Yan.
"I will live up to my husband's high expectations!!"
"You will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Cavalry General!!"
...
The army moved forward, and Lu Yan looked at the cavalry moving away.
Thinking that although this is an experience under his command, it is also the first time that he has dealt with a foreign race in a real sense.
Lu Yan was so moved that he couldn't help but recite aloud:
"The harsh wind blows the frost and the seaweed withers, and the sinews become strong and strong.
The Han family has 300,000 soldiers, and the general also leads the prostitutes Huo and Yao.
The white feathers of meteors are inserted into the waist, and the sword flowers and autumn lotus light come out of the box.
The heavenly soldiers descended to Yuguan under the snow, and the captive arrows shot at the golden armor like sand.
The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all gone, and the enemy can be destroyed when Taibai enters the moon.
The enemy can be destroyed, and the enemy can be destroyed by raising his head and walking on the intestines of the tiger and wading in the blood of the tiger.
The beard is hung in the blue sky, and the beard is buried beside the purple plug.
When there is no one in Hu, the Han Dynasty is prosperous.
Your Majesty's life span is three thousand frosts.
But when the storm is high and the clouds are flying, there are strong men standing guard in all directions!"
His voice contained a hint of innate innocence, which allowed Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, who were walking in the front and hundreds of steps away, to hear clearly.
"Hang the beard in the blue sky, bury the beard beside the purple wall!"
Zhao Yun suddenly felt goose bumps all over his body, and the gentian silver gun in his hand could not help but tremble slightly.
At this moment, Zhao Yun had only one thought in his mind, "Any barbarian who dares to set foot on Han soil, kill! Kill! Kill!"
"There is no one in the world, but the Han Dynasty is prosperous!"
Xia Houlan also held tightly the steel-pointing gun given to him by Lu Yan and thought to himself: "Sir's ambition will be judged by the blood of the barbarians!"
Three thousand cavalry, led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, gradually began to gallop.
After a rumble of horse hooves in the distance, San Qian Erlang rushed to the battlefield in the distance.
Lu Yan suddenly felt a little regret in his heart at this moment, "The army has only been formed for a few months. Is it too hasty to let them go to the battlefield so early to face the battle?"
Lu Lingqi came back to her senses from the soul-stirring poem. It took her a long time to barely control her agitated mood.
Seeing that Lu Yan was still staring into the distance, Lu Lingqi came to Lu Yan, cupped her fists and shouted loudly: "Sir! Lingqi is willing to go through fire and water for your husband, no matter what!"
Lu Yan was so stimulated by Lu Lingqi's words beside him that he trembled in thought: "You are Lu Bu's darling, we can't let you go to the battlefield casually..."
However, Lu Yan didn't want to dampen Lu Lingqi's enthusiasm, so he replied with a smile: "I'm in a good mood. Let's go back and copy the Six Tao three times to consolidate our knowledge of the art of war."
"Ah???" Lu Lingqi was stunned.
...
Cao Cao met Xu Chu.
Without wasting too much words, under Dian Wei's recommendation, Xu Chu led thousands of Xujiapu villagers and some knights who defected to him, and officially surrendered to Cao Cao.
Along the way, Dian Wei and Xu Chu competed several times, but each time ended in a draw.
Cao Cao, who knew Dian Wei's bravery, couldn't help but become more and more satisfied with Xu Chu.
After the two of them had finished fighting again, Xu Chu came to Cao Cao with sweat all over his body and asked: "My lord, I heard from Dian Wei that Zhao Yun is riding under Lu Piao..."
"Want to compete with Zhao Zilong?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"Hehe! You know, this is what we warriors like." Xu Chuhan responded with a smile.
Cao Cao recalled the contents of the diary he saw last night, shook his head and replied: "But Zhao Yun has already led the cavalry to Luoyang and the Hongnong area. If you want to compete with him, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."
"Huh? What are Zilong and the others doing in Luoyang?" Dian Wei was also covered in sweat. After hearing that Zhao Yun was leading the army, he curiously came to Cao Cao and asked.
"There was great chaos in Chang'an, and the Huns took the opportunity to go south and plunder the land of Sanfu." At this time, Guo Jia took a sip of tea, smacked it in his mouth with some displeasure, and continued: "The Huns are still not satisfied after looting Sanfu.
, then fled to Hongnong County, and even came to set up camp in the Yellow River Basin near Luoyang."
Although Cao Cao also received news that the Huns had come to Luoyang, his news was not as detailed as Guo Jia's.
Thinking about Guo Jia's news, Cao Cao thought to himself: "It seems that it is indeed necessary for me to set up an intelligence agency like the Shadow Guard..."
Xu Chu stared angrily: "What do the Huns want to do?"
Guo Jia glanced at the angry Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and said slowly: "The Huns probably want to wait and see what happens to the Guandong princes."
"They have ideas about the prosperous Guandong!"
The Xiongnu during the Eastern Han Dynasty were divided into northern and southern Xiongnu.
After the Southern Xiongnu belonged to the Han Dynasty, the northern counties were filled with the Southern Xiongnu and the new vassals of the Northern Xiongnu.
After that, the Huns continued to move inland to the east of Liangzhou and to the west of Bingzhou, and later concentrated in the Fen River Basin in the middle of Bingzhou.
Although it was the Northern Huns who went south to plunder the Sanfu territory this time, the Southern Huns were also Huns after all.
Although some people in the Southern Xiongnu were unwilling to rebel against the Han Dynasty, there were also some Southern Xiongnu who were ready to take action because of the chaos in the Han Dynasty.
