Chapter 369 Since you're here, don't rush to leave
Wuhuan, also known as Wuwan, is one of the ancient nomadic peoples in the northern grasslands.
In fact, as early as the heyday of the Xiongnu, the Wuhuan and Xianbei people were already one of the main members of the Donghu.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Empire began to fall; but in the long river of time, the Xianbei people gradually rose up, and they reached their peak under the leadership of Tan Shihuai.
Later, Tan Shihuai was assassinated by a Han assassin, Xianbei was divided, and he began to fall into loneliness quickly.
However, before Wuhuan had the chance to rise, Shanyu Qiu Liju died.
Because Chanyu Qiu Liju's son Lou Ban was still young, his uncle Tadun came to power and temporarily became Chanyu. Tadun had extremely strong leadership ability. He integrated the three counties of Wuhuan and became a gradually growing army.
, a force that cannot be ignored.
In order to deal with Cao Cao, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang took the initiative to open the door and let the Wuhuan people into Youzhou.
Naturally, Tadun would not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Wuhuan from the three counties almost came out in full force, and swept through western Liaoning and Youbeiping in an instant, followed by Yuyang County and Fanyang County. If the Yan State was not guarded by the Yuan brothers' army, it would be impossible to even control the Yan State where Ji County is located.
, will all be poisoned by the Wuhuan people.
Tadun now leads the army and is stationed in the territory of the Yan Kingdom. This time, almost all the leaders of the Wuhuan people, big and small, have come, including more than 20 leaders of large and small tribes such as Nanlou, Su Puyan, and Wuyan.
Wuhuan is also a typical tribal system of grassland nomads.
The Tadun tribe is the strongest tribe and is also the current Wuhuan Chanyu.
Although other tribes surrendered to Tadun because of his strength, they were not monolithic within themselves.
...
Zhuoxian county seat.
Cao Cao and Lu Yan arrived here two days ago.
They waited for more than two days before Zhao Yun's troops returned from the pursuit.
In the meeting hall, Zhao Yun reported to Lu Yan and Cao Cao with some guilt: "Sir, Mr. Cao, our army failed to catch up with Wuhuanqiao King Su Puyan..."
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Just run away. Anyway, we have captured so many baggage and prisoners, we don't care about a little foreign king."
In this battle, Cao Jun captured nearly 10,000 horses, killed more than 20,000 Wuhuan people, and took more than 6,000 prisoners...
Half of the 50,000 Wuhuan troops under Su Puyan were gone in an instant, which was a great victory.
But there was still no smile on Zhao Yun's face.
Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask: "Zilong, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Because I was a step too late, a village of nearly a hundred people was massacred by the Wuhuan people..."
When Lu Yan and Cao Cao heard this, the smiles on their faces disappeared.
After a while, Lu Yan sighed and said: "Zilong, this is actually none of your business...because even if you can arrive and stop them, as long as they can escape, they will always find another place.
To seek supplies."
The implication is that even if the people in Liujiacun can escape, maybe the people in Zhangjiacun or Lijiazhuang will suffer... To put it bluntly, as long as these people are still killing and bleeding on the land of the Han people,
It won't stop!
Zhao Yun opened his mouth and found that what Lu Yan said seemed to make sense.
Cao Cao suddenly interrupted at this time: "The only way to stop the Wuhuan people from continuing to wreak havoc is to drive them out of Youzhou!"
"Kick them out?" Lu Yan couldn't help but sneer and said: "Now that you are here, don't think about leaving so easily. The blood of the people of Youzhou cannot be shed in vain! I want them to pay for their blood debt!"
Cao Cao, Zhao Yun and others rarely see this side of Lu Yan.
Lu Yan is usually as gentle and gentle as a piece of old jade that has been coiled slippery. When have you ever seen him so angry and sharp?!
However, just when everyone in the hall seemed unusually quiet because of Lu Yan's change, a cheer suddenly came from outside.
"Okay! Well said!"
It was Zhou Yan's voice. She was standing outside the hall waiting for Zhao Yun, but she didn't want to be so relieved by what Lu Yan said that she couldn't help but scream.
Zhao Yun: "..."
While others were confused, Lu Yan was very keen to detect the subtle changes in Zhao Yun's expression.
So Lu Yan asked curiously: "Zilong, that woman outside..."
"Uh..." When Lu Yan asked, Zhao Yun had to answer honestly: "He is the last disciple accepted by the master."
"Is she your junior sister?!" Lu Yan's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Yes."
"Haha! Then you have to introduce us carefully later!"
"must..."
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he stepped aside and waited for Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others to continue discussing the next matter.
After the small interlude, Xi Zhicai continued: "In the battle at Zhuoxian County, Su Buyan's Wuhuan cavalry had almost collapsed... With such heavy losses, Su Buyan would not be able to return to the tribe.
It’s so wonderful.”
"Prairie people are just a pack of wolves...the weak have the tragic fate of being divided and eaten." Zhang Liao spoke of the cruelest aspect of the grassland.
"Haha, that makes sense." Xia Houlan said excitedly: "The Wuhuan people have been harassing Youzhou for so many years, and today they are feeling bad."
When Xiahoulan and Zhao Yun were under Gongsun Zan, they often dealt with Wuhuan people or other grassland people.
At that time, Gongsun Zan only organized them into the White Horse Yi Cong, and Zhao Yun was just a small centurion... In fact, Zhao Yun, a centurion, only had dozens of subordinates from Zhaojiacun.
At that time, they had only a few soldiers and wanted to deal with the Wuhuan people, but because of the lack of manpower, they could only fight in a small way.
Now nearly ten years have passed, and they finally returned to Youzhou.
And unlike in the past under Gongsun Zan, now they have strong troops and horses, and they are in full swing! Their old man, Da Luyan, is also a person who hates foreign races extremely. The good days of the Wuhuan people must be coming to an end soon!
Lu Yan smiled and said: "What does this mean? There will be opportunities to beat those Wuhuan people in the future. I just hope that you, Xiahou Ziheng, will not be soft-hearted then."
"Hahaha!" Xiahoulan laughed; "Sir, don't worry, I, Xiahoulan, am very hard!"
Everyone was amused by Xia Houlan's words. When the laughter subsided, Xun You stood up and said, "My lord, the medical troops are in place. The Zhuo County defenders and the soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion have been properly treated."
"Very good!" Cao Cao nodded with a smile and said, "The doctors trained by Mr. Hua and Divine Doctor Hua are really effective. With them, the conversion rate of our soldiers has been greatly reduced, and the morale of our soldiers has also been improved a lot."
"I'm just giving some suggestions. The most important thing is that Lao Hua has trained him well." Lu Yan said modestly.
"Haha... If only there were a few more people like you in the world who could give 'suggestions'..."
"I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!" Guo Jia's mouth was still so poisonous.
"Ah ha ha ha!" Cao Cao was only halfway through his words when Guo Jia snatched him up and everyone laughed again.
"What are they talking about and why are they always laughing?"
Zhou Yan, who was standing outside, listened to the laughter that broke out from time to time in the meeting hall. He couldn't help but get closer curiously, and pointed his ears to listen.
