Lu Bu led ten thousand cavalry from Gaoliu to Yanmen County. Of all the foreigners along the way, no one could escape alive from the iron hoof of Lu Bu's army!
On November 3, the eighth year of Jian'an,
King Youxian of the Xiongnu went to Bei, broke with the Xiongnu chanyu Huchuquan, refused Fuluohan's solicitation, and raised an army to fight against the allied forces of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people.
Zhang Liao, who had already arrived in Jinyang, took the opportunity to send troops and attacked back and forth with the Huns cavalry led by Qubei, defeating the coalition forces of Fuluohan and Huchuquan.
Huchuquan was captured by Zhang Liao, while Fulohan led thousands of defeated troops to flee towards Yanmen County.
Huchuquan surrendered and betrayed many times, and Cao's generals had completely lost trust in him. In addition, Qubei had proved his loyalty to the Han Dynasty with his actions, so Wei Ji made the decision to send Huchuquan to Yecheng.
Waiting for Cao Cao's decision. As for the Southern Xiongnu tribe in Bingzhou, Qubei succeeded the Chanyu position and commanded all the Southern Xiongnu tribes.
Huchuquan was destined to spend the rest of his life in Yecheng, but compared to Fulohan, he seemed much luckier. Because Fulohan, who had just escaped back to Yanmen, met sadly when he was heading to Taiyuan County.
The rushing Lu Bu army...
When Zhang Liao and Qubei's army rushed to the battlefield in pursuit, they happened to see Lu Bu chop off Fu Luohan's head with a halberd.
Looking at the familiar tall figure from a distance, Zhang Liao couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
"Wen...hou!" Zhang Liao shouted subconsciously, but immediately realized that he had called the wrong title for Lu Bu, so he quickly changed his name and shouted, "Jihou!!!"
Lu Bu looked up, and suddenly said with surprise and a hint of joy: "Wenyuan?! Why are you here!"
...
Xiliang.
Since the arrival of reinforcements from Ma Chao and Xu Shu, Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing's troops have been retreating steadily.
It wasn't until Han Sui captured Beidi County and returned with his army to rush for reinforcements that they regained a foothold, and then fell into an arduous tug-of-war.
Han Sui was a local snake, and his overall strength was stronger than the coalition forces of Ma Teng, Zhang Lu, and Xu Shu. It was only because of the support of Xu Shu's strategy that they were able to draw a tie with Han Sui.
But the news from Hanzhong broke the balance that Ma Teng and Xu Shu had finally created.
Ma Teng's camp.
Yang Ren said to Ma Teng and Xu Shu anxiously: "General Ma, Military Advisor Xu... just received news from Hanzhong that Liu Zhang's army from Yizhou is attacking. Hanzhong is empty of troops and may be difficult to resist!"
"My lord ordered us to return to the army quickly to support. If it's too late, Hanzhong may not be safe!" Yang Ang also said anxiously.
The house leaked and it rained all night long...but what else could Ma Teng do? He could only smile bitterly and comfort him: "Generals, don't worry, I will send someone to prepare the food and grass for you to return to the army first. When the food and grass are ready, the supplies will be ready."
OK, you can set off back to Hanzhong."
Ma Teng was indeed preparing food and fodder for Yang Ren and Yang Ang's armies, but at the same time he was also delaying the retreat of his and Xu Shu's armies.
Without Yang Ren, Yang Ang's army of more than 20,000 people, relying solely on Ma Teng and Xu Shu, would not be able to withstand Han Sui's army head-on. A hasty withdrawal may also cause problems. Therefore, it is worthwhile to buy some food and grass to buy time for retreat.
of.
When Yang Ren and Yang Ang saw that Ma Teng not only did not stop them, but even took the initiative to prepare food, grass and baggage for them, they felt guilty and clasped their fists and said, "I'm sorry, General Ma."
After finishing speaking, Yang Ren and Yang Ang left the Chinese army's tent.
Ma Teng looked at Yang Ren and Yang Ang's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Ma Chao looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Military advisor, what should we do next?"
After hearing Ma Chao's question, Ma Teng couldn't help but glance at Ma Chao secretly.
After a recent period of contact, Ma Teng was extremely pleased with Ma Chao's huge changes.
In the past, Ma Chao was powerful, arrogant, and acted arbitrarily, without caring about the feelings of others; now, Ma Chao is more powerful than before, but he has become more modest and good at listening to suggestions. Of course, Ma Teng is very happy about the changes in his eldest son.
Because Ma Chao now looks like a qualified heir.
Of course, Ma Supernatural would not tell Ma Teng that he only learned the way of life after being defeated by Lu Yan and then being rubbed against each other by Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others...
After hearing Ma Chao's question, Xu Shu shook his head and said: "If the Hanzhong army evacuates, the strength gap between us and Han Sui's army will become difficult to make up... Our army is unable to stop it alone. We can only withdraw to Hanyang County first, and then do anything."
Intend."
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh...it would be great if General Zhendong's Wolf Cavalry Camp were all here!"
...
Cao Ang defeated the Xianbei coalition army, but he did not stop there. Instead, he mobilized all the cavalry in Youzhou, preparing to enter the grassland and enter the hinterland of the Xianbei people!
More than 5,000 cavalry were summoned, plus Hubaoqi, Zhang Fei, and more than 1,000 men under Guan Yu. Cao Ang gathered 15,000 men. The elite cavalry of the Xianbei people was destroyed, and these 50,000 men were killed.
Thousands of cavalry are enough to deal with the unprepared Xianbei people.
Tian Chou had already discovered the settlements of the Kebineng Tribe, Suli Tribe, Mijia Tribe, and Queji Tribe a long time ago, otherwise he would not have been able to get the news about the Xianbei Alliance at the first time.
When Cao Ang recruited cavalry and prepared to send troops to the grassland, Tian Chou sent someone to deliver a map.
The map shows the approximate distribution of the grassland forces, and also carefully marks the approximate locations of the settlements of various Xianbei tribes.
Cao Ang studied this map with many generals. After finishing the work, he couldn't help but sigh: "Tian Gong has profound wisdom. No wonder my father asked him to serve as the governor of Youzhou."
At this time, Guan Yu, who had always been a man of few words, was the first to reply: "The talents recommended by Mr. are never bad."
Cao Ang looked at Guan Yu, laughed and said: "What General Guan said is true. Those who can be valued by the teacher are definitely talents who can be reused! Hahaha!"
After laughing, Cao Ang's expression became serious.
He stretched out his hand and drew an arc on the map, and said: "Generals, my father and Lu Huqi traveled thousands of miles to attack Wuhuan in three counties! Now, there is an excellent opportunity before us to destroy Xianbei in the central and eastern areas. Is it right?
Are we going to let it pass us by?"
"cannot!"
"Absolutely not!"
The generals in the big tent all looked excited. Although the difficulty was not small, who was willing to let go of this opportunity to leave a mark in history?
Seeing that no one objected, Cao Ang ordered: "Guan Yu, Guan Ping!"
Guan Ping has 500 cavalry, so this time it is also within the scope of the sign.
Guan Yu and Guan Ping's father and son came out and said: "The general is here!"
"I order you two to lead three thousand cavalry as the vanguard. If you encounter the Xianbei people, you don't have to hold back. Kill them all!"
"The last general takes command!"
The army was making a surprise attack, and no news could be leaked. Guan Yu understood what Cao Ang meant, so he agreed without any hesitation. The kindness of a woman is the last thing that should exist on the battlefield. Guan Yu will never leave half of those who deserve to be killed.
In December of the eighth year of Jian'an, it snowed heavily!
Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, personally led an army of 15,000 people, with Guan Yu and Guan Ping as the vanguard, marching lightly, with his sword pointed directly at the royal court of Xianbei Kebi Neng!
