July is still a hot summer day in the south. But in Liucheng, Liaoxi County, the weather has gradually turned cooler. Especially in the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty, winter begins early in the north, and it is a cold period all year round.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why the northern Hu people frequently go south to invade the border areas. It is cold in the north, the pastures are no longer lush, and the sheep are no longer fat. The life of the Hu people is difficult, and swarms of swarms go south to rob.
If the Han Dynasty was strong enough, it could resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty also declined, and the people on the border were extremely miserable. They could only move forward in the darkness and wait for the light to appear.
Lu Xuan doesn't care about the situation of the Wuhuan people in the north, it's not his concern, because he has never been a saint.
Lu Xuan is Han Chinese.
What he can control are the Han people who have the same customs, etiquette, and hair accessories as himself, instead of the Hu people who consider robbing his compatriots out of compassion.
Therefore, after Lu Xuan led four thousand cavalry out of Lulong Fortress, they rushed all the way towards Liucheng. This was also due to the fact that he had arranged a group of soldiers to clear out the old roads and clear out the abandoned roads, making the mountains
All roads are smooth.
Without this arrangement, it would be very difficult for the cavalry led by Lu Xuan to exit the customs through Lulongsai.
After walking for a certain distance, you have to stop to build bridges and pave roads, clear mountains of stones, and cut down dense grass and trees. This kind of journey is very slow.
Now, everything goes smoothly.
The journey from Lulongsai to Pinggang is hundreds of miles long. If you keep procrastinating, you will not be able to get out for ten days and a half, which will also consume morale. Now that there are soldiers clearing the road, Lu Xuan
It only took four days to arrive near Pinggang City.
This is close to the Xianbei area.
Xianbei and Wuhuan are both in the north, but the area where Wuhuan is located is more prosperous. After Tanshihuai's death, Xianbei declined and Wuhuan rose, so Wuhuan seized the best places and pushed Xianbei to the more bitter and cold north.
Just so, the relationship between Xianbei and Wuhuan was quite bad.
This is the norm.
If you want to get more resources when living on the grassland, you must squeeze the resources of other ethnic groups. If you cannot do this, the ethnic group will not be able to expand and you will not get a better life.
Under this premise, Lu Xuan and his people appeared in an area close to Xianbei, without causing any sensation and no Xianbei people came to stop them.
Lu Xuan led the cavalry out of Pinggang City and quickly headed towards Liucheng. Although there were still many mountain roads, the roads now were no longer in the valleys or in the dense forests, which were enough for the cavalry to run wildly.
.
Four thousand cavalrymen started running quickly.
After less than two days, the cavalry led by Lu Xuan entered Liucheng, and the army stopped to rest.
The soldiers ate dry food to regain their strength.
Lu Xuan called Zhao Yun over and asked, "Zilong, how far are we from Liucheng?"
Zhao Yun replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, we are less than fifteen miles away from Liucheng. If we travel all night, we can reach the royal court area of Liucheng before early morning."
Lu Xuan thought for a while and ordered: "Let's arrange it. Everyone should take the time to rest and rest for half an hour. Then, they will fight to Liucheng overnight, set fire to Liucheng, and completely destroy the Wuhuan Palace in Liucheng."
"Here!"
Zhao Yun answered with clasped fists.
He made arrangements immediately.
The four thousand cavalry took the time to rest, and at this time, all the horses were carrying bundles of dried wormwood. Once they approached Liucheng and set fire to it, this was used to ignite the fire. Half an hour later, the army set off and headed straight for Liucheng.
direction to go.
Rumble!
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and more than 4,000 cavalrymen, carrying wormwood on their backs, ran at full speed.
The cavalry no longer concealed their whereabouts, and the soldiers hurried on with torches. The fifteen-mile journey was not far for the cavalry. Just after two quarters of an hour, the four thousand cavalry led by Lu Xuan arrived in the Liucheng area.
Looking from a distance, one can see the tents where the Wuhuan people live, and the light of burning fires everywhere.
Densely packed tents surrounded the royal tent.
This is the gathering place of Wuhuan people.
After seeing this, Lu Xuan became energetic, pointed his spear at the royal court area in the distance, and said loudly: "The royal court of the Wuhuan people is right in front of us. Here is our chance for revenge, kill!"
"kill!"
Zhao Yun shouted while holding the silver gentian spear.
Zhao Yun fought outside the Great Wall a few years ago and saw too many scenes of Han people being slaughtered. He loudly said: "In these years, we have been robbed and massacred. Today, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, kill!"
Rumble!
Four thousand cavalry swept past like a long dragon.
The torches burned, pushing forward like a fiery snake.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Lu Xuan rushed into Wuhuan's royal court and quickly dispersed to set fire. Tents everywhere were ignited, and grass everywhere was ignited. The entire royal court area was blazing with thick flames.
Smoke billows.
Many Wuhuan people escaped and saw the cavalry coming. The Wuhuan people took up weapons to attack, but were killed by Lu Xuan's cavalry in a blink of an eye.
As Lu Xuan's cavalry set fire, the fire spread. In less than two quarters of an hour, the royal court area was in flames. The burning fire dispelled the darkness and made the royal court in Liucheng as bright as day.
Although some Wuhuan soldiers who stayed behind organized themselves to stop Lu Xuan's people.
However, Louban, Nanlou, Su Puyan and Su Yan all died outside, and Tadun left with his army. Liucheng was empty, and the remaining troops could not stop Lu Xuan's attack, and the Wuhuan people were killed one after another.
Time passed little by little, more than an hour passed, and after early morning, the area near Liucheng became a sea of burning fire.
"Report!"
A sentinel came quickly on horseback.
The sentry came to Lu Xuan and reported: "Your Majesty, we found a large number of Wuhuan cavalry in the southeast of Liucheng. We can't see how many there are. This cavalry is running wildly towards Liucheng regardless of the cost.
Come in the direction."
Lu Xuan thought about it in his mind and said: "It should be Tadun's army. No one can rush to help Wuhuan except him. Tadun should be halfway there. He thought that Liucheng was empty, so he came back quickly. This man is really not simple."
"
Zhao Yun looked a little anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tadun has many troops and we can't stop them. Withdraw the troops and let's leave Liucheng. Otherwise, once we are surrounded by a large number of Tadun's cavalry, it will be difficult for us to evacuate."
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, he shook his head and said, "Zilong, I don't plan to evacuate."
Zhao Yun worriedly asked: "What do you plan to do, my lord?"
Lu Xuan said: "Our army set fire to Liucheng. Although they came on the run, we rested the army before and the soldiers recovered their strength. However, the soldiers under Tadun's command have been rushing all the way from the time they left Liucheng to the time they returned to Liucheng.
.”
"So, I think the army under Tadun's command is definitely a long-distance attack. It is a tired army. The soldiers lack fighting spirit and physical strength. I think this is our opportunity to attack Tadun again. What do you think?"
Zhao Yundao: "If the king's body of thousands of gold is in danger..."
Lu Xuan directly interrupted Zhao Yun's words and said in a deep voice: "We are fighting on the battlefield. If we are afraid of this or that, there is no need to fight. I am here to kill Tadun in this battle, not to escape the heat. We set fire to Liucheng.
Just evacuate, there won’t be much gain, I won’t accept it.”
"When Tadun returns from a long-distance attack, we kill him for a while, crush his army, and then retreat quickly."
"Think about it, when he comes back from a long-distance attack, it's impossible for all the troops to come back. There must be only a part of the soldiers. Moreover, they are all tired troops. We first pretend to evacuate, and then suddenly come back, catching him off guard and evacuating."
Lu Xuan said: "Even if we can't kill Tadun, we still have to give him a serious injury."
Although Zhao Yun was worried, Lu Xuan's analysis was reasonable. He tentatively said: "Master, do you really want to kill him?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Is Zilong also afraid?"
When Zhao Yun heard Lu Xuan's words, he looked solemn and said loudly: "Your Majesty is not afraid, so what should I be afraid of? Beat him, let's beat him again."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "That's right. The Wuhuan people killed my people and invaded our border. If they don't take revenge, how can they evacuate?"
Having said this, Lu Xuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind and ordered: "Quickly find some corpses of Wuhuan people and put eight characters on the ground."
Zhao Yun asked: "Which eight characters?"
"The murderer, Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
Lu Xuan said loudly: "This time Tadun's judgment must be yours. So, leave your name and stimulate Tadun again."
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
This time, he became famous in Wuhuan, but the way he became famous was a bit weird.
Zhao Yun thought about it and felt his blood boiling again.
His ambition is to guard the border and expel the barbarians. Now he has left his name in Liucheng and made Lord Wuhuan furious. It was worth it to be able to achieve this step.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "I will obey your orders."
He immediately made arrangements, and the soldiers quickly brought the corpses of the Wuhuan people and placed them with eight characters. After everything was done, Zhao Yun and Lu Xuan quietly disappeared into the light of fire with their cavalry, leaving Liucheng with wailing sounds all over the place.
