Lu Bu suddenly realized that he not only had a broad future, but also had a lot of trouble.
First of all, there is the blood feud between him and the people of Xiliang.
Among the people of Xiliang, there were not only Han Sui and Ma Teng, but also a large number of old Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
He didn't remember those people at the moment. After Zhang Liao reminded him, he realized that Dong Zhuo's shadow did not disappear with Li Jue and Guo Si, and was still entrenched in the court.
If you do not have the ability to protect yourself, you may be back-stolen by them at any time.
Fortunately, the emperor scattered them to Nanyang, Shangdang, and Hedong counties, and did not bring them with him.
There is only one Zhang Xiu by the emperor.
Lu Bu realized that he might have sent someone to the emperor, thinking that he could also see and hear.
He remembered Wei Xu's suggestion, and was a little moved and worried.
If Cai Yan can be the ruler, his daughter Lu Xiaohuan can naturally be the man.
But his daughter is too young and he is not sure whether he can take on this important task.
Perhaps Chen Gong should be asked to teach his daughter how to read.
Lu Bu was uneasy and thought a lot, but couldn't decide.
But he realized one thing: Zhang Liao is very important to him, and he can provide him with help that Wei Xu and others cannot provide.
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao quietly, considering whether he should express it.
The most direct expression is naturally to reuse Zhang Liao and equip more people.
"Wenyuan, you can chat with the Huns."
Zhang Liao bowed and bowed. "It was mainly because the court's system was appropriate, and the Huns were sincere in their goodness and were willing to serve."
Lu Bu nodded in agreement. Not to mention the Huns, even he thought the emperor's system was very attractive.
Once upon a time, the relocation of the children of the border counties was prohibited by the court. Zhang Huan made great contributions and obtained the special approval of the emperor and moved from Dunhuang to Hongnong.
If you can move to the inner county after five years of loyalty, the Liang people will follow you.
But at this moment, Lu Bu was not concerned about this issue. "Then give all the Huns to you to command."
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Bu, and was somewhat surprised.
Lu Bu is not a person who easily delegates power, especially those who are not Lu Bu’s confidants. The most typical one is Gao Shun. During the war, Lu Bu would ask Gao Shun to command troops, but would usually take back military power to avoid Gao Shun from becoming a big shot.
In other words, Gao Shun has such a good temper and always turns against him if he changes someone.
Lu Bu is now giving him troops, perhaps because these two hundred Huns are not his subordinates.
Zhang Liao didn't say much and bowed to accept the order.
Wei Xu and others were also in a strange mood, and there was a little jealousy in their eyes.
Liu Xie advanced along the river. On the southern foot of Mount Mona, which was still twenty miles away from Chengyi, the scouts came to report that there were sporadic Xianbei cavalry in front of them.
Liu Xie had analyzed similar situations with Xun You before, and officers above Qu Junhou also received relevant instructions. Even the Huns, who were semi-independent of the Han army's command system, received relevant orders, so they were not panicked.
.
The one who walked in front of the country went to the bir to send back the news while gathering the team and keeping a safe distance from the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people were once vassals of the Huns. After Tan Shihuai, the Xianbei people's strength increased greatly and their morale also increased. Now the Huns are no longer opponents. They are unwilling to fight with the Xianbei people unless they have to.
Liu Xie ordered the entire army to stop advancing and seize favorable terrain.
Yulin rode up the formation under the hillside and was ready to attack.
The armored cavalry hid behind the Yulin cavalry formation. The knight dismounted. The two of them cooperated with each other to wear armor and drove the spare horses to the formation and managed them uniformly.
The king of the back formation led his troops to catch up, set up a formation along the river to protect the flanks.
Song Guo took Hu Ben to the hillside, placed a few horse stools on the high place, and put up a few desks, which were considered as a general.
Liu Xie sat down before the case, took off his combat boots, pulled the wrinkled footwear, and tied it tightly again.
The leather of the combat boots is very hard and has no footwear protection, so they can easily wear out their feet.
Cai Yan, Pei Jun and others were busy preparing their pens and ink, deliberately not looking at Liu Xie.
The dignified emperor, so rude, they really don’t have the eyes to see.
However, Yang Xiu was very calm, took a look, took out a pair of thick wool feet from his arms and handed it to Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, use this to keep warm, absorb sweat, and not smelly feet."
Liu Xie glanced at him, took it, and sniffed it. "Have you passed through?"
"Just once," Yang Xiu said: "The general sent me the Qiang people's craftsmanship. The Qiang girl with the skill of her hand is the best wool. She can only weave a pair in one winter. Seeing that my feet are cold,
I couldn't stand the cold, so I gave me two pairs."
Liu Xie changed into a wool socks, put on his combat boots, and stomped his feet, feeling that what Yang Xiu said was true. Although the wool socks were not delicate enough, they were really warm.
"Let's talk to the general of the Western Expedition to see if you can organize a workshop for Qiang women, find a few more Qiang women, and specially weave these footwear to provide them with soldiers in the army."
Ma Chao, who was standing by, thought Yang Xiu was troublesome, turned the gift he gave him into a tribute and made Liangzhou suffer in vain. Later, he heard that the emperor was going to run a workshop and used this kind of footwear as military supplies, and he suddenly became excited.
Tens of thousands of generals in the army, two pairs a year, that is more than 100,000 pairs, and they can make a lot of money.
"Your Majesty, this footwear cost is very high, more than ten times that of an ordinary footwear." Ma Chao reminded.
"No matter how high the cost is, it is still valuable than the feet of soldiers?" Liu Xie said: "You have been in the army for a long time. You should know how many soldiers in the army have frozen their feet. If the feet are frozen, it will not only affect combat, but also affect life in the future.
.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Ma Chao smiled, but he felt a little regretful.
I just said it was less, it should be dozens of times.
As we were talking, the horn sounded in front of us was getting closer and closer, and it became more and more urgent.
Liu Xie looked up.
Qubei and others have already retreated. The Huns are galloping on horseback while turning around and shooting, blocking the approaching Xianbei people. With the help of stirrups, most of the Huns can complete the turn around and shoot, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved.
.
The Xianbei people should have suffered and dared not chase them too close, so they let the Huns retreat calmly, pass by the royal fu's position, and reorganize the formation on the east side of the formation.
Hu Chuquan took two personal guards and knights through the main formation, came to the foot of the mountain, swayed stirrups and got off the horse, and trotted up the mountain.
"Your Majesty, the one who came is Fu Luohan's subordinate. Fu Luohan himself is under Chengyi City, and may want to attack the city."
“Where did the news come from?”
"I caught two Xianbei scouts before and found out." Hu Chuquan took the water bag and poured two sips of light wine. "Fu Luohan gathered more than 100,000 people, and even brought supplies to the baggage.
He looked determined and insisted on winning the right way."
Liu Xie frowned slightly.
Fu Luohan brought the supplies over, wouldn’t Lu Bu be disappointed?
Xun You asked at the right time: "Does the Xianbei people often attack cities?"
"Seldom." Hu Chuquan shook his head. "I also find it very strange, so I came to report to His Majesty and reminded His Majesty of his attention."
"Did White Horse Copper follow you?"
"I haven't heard of it, it seems to be still in Xi'anyang."
Xun You quickly found the location of Xi'anyang on the map and tapped his finger. "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to feint the attack on the white horse bronze and ambush Fu Luohan."
Before Liu Xie could speak, Ma Chao laughed first.
"Shi Jung-in, Fu Luohan is right in front of you, but the white horse copper is fifty miles west. If you don't resist Fu Luohan, why do you pretend to attack the white horse copper?"
