It’s not that Liu Xie doesn’t believe in Ma Chao’s ability, but that he has a better choice.
Henan was originally a pasture land of the right part of the Huns. Luo was beheaded at the last battle, and nearly half of his subordinates were incorporated by Liu Xie. Now they are placed in Xihe County, which is like a registered household in the court.
Their family is in Xihe and has their own arable land and pastures. After five years of hard work, they can become the people of the Han Dynasty and move to a richer place.
For this reason, the price they had to pay was to provide the imperial court with military supplies or food.
This time, Liu Xie led his troops to fight and recruited two hundred loyal and guaranteed elite knights.
Two hundred knights are not enough to complete combat missions, but they are more than enough to be guides. The maps used by Xun You were completed in combination with the descriptions of these knights. Compared with the maps provided by Qubei and others, they are indeed more detailed and accurate.
Liu Xie planned to hand over the combat mission to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu originally had 300 cavalry, plus these 200 Hun knights, a total of 500 cavalry, and it was enough to complete the task of finding the supply points for the Xianbei people.
After talking about the strategic deployment, Liu Xie asked about Yang Xiu's recent situation, especially his situation in Ma Teng's army.
Compared to Yang Xiu returning to him, he hoped that Yang Xiu could play an educational role in Ma Teng's army, just like in Yang Ding's army, to stabilize the morale of the army, and assist Ma Teng in fighting.
Facing an enemy that is ten times more than him, he doesn't really believe in Ma Teng's ability.
Although Liu Xie couldn't speak too bluntly in front of Ma Chao, Yang Xiu still understood.
"The general of the Western Expedition came from his own army and had the spirit of famous generals. He was as close as his brothers, sharing joys and sorrows, and could fight hard. This way eastward, the soldiers advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and had a lot of rules, which was not comparable to ordinary people. I believe that he could help Your Majesty,
The few win more, and we will defeat the white horse and support Luo Han together."
Liu Xie didn't say anything more.
Ma Teng has extremely strict control over his subordinates, and it is not a good time to get into the wedge.
Liu Xie immediately asked Xun You to introduce the battle at Shaling Lake to Yang Xiu and Ma Chao.
When he learned that the emperor was not only destroyed, but also killed the formation, not only Yang Xiu was both surprised and happy, but Ma Chao was also surprised.
It is certainly not easy to fight against the Huns and Xianbei people, but it is even more difficult to kill the opponent's chief general.
It is precisely because of this that he felt awe of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's killing of generals at the battle was due to Lu Bu's personal courage.
Zhang Yang killed Luo, but the emperor was able to find the opportunity. Zhang Yang's personal ability was far inferior to Lu Bu, but with the emperor as his backing, his achievements were enough to make Lu Bu ashamed and deserved the title of a thousand-house marquis.
In an instant, Ma Chao understood a little the meaning of Ma Teng asking him to see the emperor.
Two days later, Liu Xie arrived in Yiliang, less than thirty miles away from Chengyi.
Lu Bu came to meet.
After fighting for several days, Lu Bu was not only not tired, but was radiant, sweeping away the depressed spirit of Meiji.
Wei Xu, Zhang Liao and others around him were no exception. Everyone held their heads and chests, smiled and full of heroism.
With the supply points provided by Zhang Yang and Ma Teng, their guerrillas were very smooth and they achieved great success. The cumulative number of enemies killed more than 1,000, posing a major threat to the morale of the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people had arrived in Chengyi. In order to cut off Lu Bu's logistics supplies, they helped Luohan to order ten thousand cavalry to block the valley where Chengyi and Ma Teng were. They led 30,000 cavalry to station themselves on the north bank of the Yellow River, preparing to fight against the emperor's army.
White Horse Copper is stationed in Xi'anyang, west of Chengyi.
Liu Xie immediately marked the information provided by Lu Bu on the combat map.
"According to your estimate, where might Fuluhan's supply point be?"
Lu Bu stared at the map for a while, muttered to Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others for a while, and finally drew a circle near Shuofang City. "With Shuofang as the center and next to a lake within 30 miles of radius. Follow him.
The cattle and sheep should drink water and eat grass, and they should live without water."
"I give you two hundred Hun cavalry who are familiar with the terrain. Can you find this lake and control it?"
"It's not a problem to find it, it's easy to destroy it, it's a bit difficult to control it... it's a bit difficult." Lu Bu stroked his chin and did not clean up his face for a few days, so his beard became stronger. "There are too few troops. Once the Xianbei people fight back, they can support it for one day at most.
Maybe it can only last for half a day.”
"Half a day is enough." Xun You said: "The premise is that before you launch an attack, you must send the news back to the Imperial Camp in time to leave time for reinforcements for Your Majesty."
Lu Bu was a little confused, but Zhang Liao, who was standing beside him, looked at him and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Wen Yuan, if you have any opinions, you might as well speak out." Liu Xie keenly seized the opportunity. "Holding a military discussion is to brainstorm, and everyone has the opportunity to express their opinions."
Zhang Liao looked at Liu Xie in surprise and bowed and said, "Thank you, you have no objection. I just think that Your Majesty's plan is so clever that it is in line with the meaning of criticizing Kang and damaging the weak. If you can succeed, you can win in one battle."
Liu Xie was playing with the Bingzhen in his hand. "Have Wen Yuan read a book?"
Zhang Liao shook his head embarrassedly. "It's just enlightenment, I dare not call it a study."
"Reading is a good thing, especially historical books. It can increase your knowledge and become familiar with the stories." Liu Xie withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "Although I am busy, I still read every day and I feel that I have benefited a lot. If you want to achieve something,
You must also calm down and read some books. Xun Shizhong is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask him for advice.”
Lu Bu and others were timid, but they didn't take it seriously.
Only Zhang Liao heard it and looked at Liu Xie deeply.
Liu Xie ordered people to take ten sets of vests and reward them to Lu Bu to repay him.
Lu Bu was overjoyed.
With these ten sets of vests and the rewards he had given before, he was able to form a small charge formation.
According to the military merit book reported by Lu Bu, Liu Xie rewarded Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and Cao Xing, who had the greatest contribution, each given a set of armor, a sword, and a son as a man.
After resting for a night, he replenished food, weapons, and replaced the war horses. Lu Bu embarked on the journey again with the newly assigned Hun knights.
This time, he did not seek the bad luck of the Xianbei people, but took the initiative to avoid the scouts of the Xianbei people, detoured south of the river, and went west along the edge of the desert, looking for supplies for the Xianbei people.
"You can't kill people quickly." Wei Xu said with some regret.
"Kill, kill, kill, you know how to kill people." Lu Bu said angrily: "You can't learn Wenyuan, have some strategy?"
Wei Xu glanced at Zhang Liao who was exploring the way forward and curled his lips. "I am just a rough man, not so many twists and turns, I just know how to follow you. Zhang Wenyuan has a strategy, but sooner or later he will climb the dragon scales,
No matter how good your strategy is, it will not be used by you, just like in Luoyang."
Lu Bu frowned slightly and sighed depressedly.
Seeing this, Wei Xu continued, "Fengxian, don't you think that the emperor's edict was specially made for Zhang Wenyuan? Tell me, even if we have sons, we are still young, so where can we be a man? Only Zhang Wenyuan
There is a brother who can be a man.”
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Wei Xu. "You at least have a son, so I'm in trouble, I only have a daughter."
Wei Xu's eyes rolled. "Fengxian, have you seen the Cai Lingshi beside the emperor?"
"So what if I see it?" Lu Bu asked in confusion.
He knew Cai Yan and knew that Cai Yan had excellent knowledge and was not inferior to men. He was not surprised that Cai Yan became the Shishi around the emperor.
But what does this have to do with his daughter Lu Xiaohuan? Lu Xiaohuan doesn't even recognize his own name.
"Since a woman can be a Lingshi, Xiaohuan can also be a Lang." Wei Xu was furious. "Her martial arts are no weaker than men."
Lu Bu felt a move in his heart and thought he could give it a try.
