Chapter 82, The Team Begins to Form
"Are the Han troops coming to pursue you?"
King Xiutu led his remnant army to gallop all the way. He didn't dare to stop until he saw the vast grassland, and turned to ask another general.
The general replied: "Your Majesty, the Han army has not continued to pursue." Perhaps because he had just witnessed a lesson, he seemed extra cautious and had to be careful when speaking.
A flash of light flashed through King Xiutu's slightly narrowed eyes, and then he said in a deep voice: "Huh, the Han army can only rely on the city wall and sneak attacks from behind, and they don't dare to fight with my Huns warriors on the grassland."
……is that so?
So why did the Xiongnu Empire split and why did the Southern Xiongnu surrender?
Langjuxu Mountain still retains traces of the past...
The general did not dare to refute and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
King Xiutu nodded with satisfaction and asked: "How many soldiers and horses do we have left?"
The general immediately turned around and went down to take stock, only to return half an hour later.
"Your Majesty, there are still about ten thousand people in the army, but I believe that our warriors just got separated during the "retreat" and should return to the army next time."
Having said that, this battle also resulted in thousands of casualties and casualties.
"Cunning Han Chinese!"
King Xiutu cursed angrily and immediately led his army towards the southern Xiongnu territory.
On the other side, the Xiongnu army in the rear had also been completely wiped out, and no soldiers were surrendered, because neither Lu Bu nor Zhang Fei accepted them.
In the evening, after cleaning the battlefield, the two men immediately led their troops into the city to meet with Xun Yu.
Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.
Zhang Fei came to Xun Yu, cupped his hands and said, "Brother ordered me to return these three thousand horses to Mr. Xun Yu."
Xun Yu shook his head slightly, pointed at Gao Shun and said: "No, it is not left to me, but to General Gao Shun. The lord has appointed General Gao Shun to temporarily serve as the captain of Yanmen."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu both looked at the man beside Xun Yu.
Lu Bu had met Gao Shun, and they had even fought side by side, but the other party was taciturn and the two had never had a conversation.
Although Zhang Fei was a little surprised, he had no objection to his brother's arrangement. He didn't want to stay in this remote place anyway.
Besides, if you have to give up drinking if you are responsible for defending the city, it is not cost-effective.
Xun Yu said again: "In that case, the two generals will rest in the city for one night and return to Jinyang tomorrow."
There is no need for a county guard in Yanmen, because the purpose of this pass is to prevent barbarians, and there are only a few people in the gate.
——
Liu Bei did not lead a large army to help Yanmen. The barbarians were all cavalry, and they came and went like the wind. If the enemy wanted to run away, the infantry would not be able to catch up.
Secondly, Lu Bu's three thousand wolf cavalry and Zhang Fei's three thousand cavalry are enough to deal with the Xiutu tribe.
He was summoning Zhang Liao at this moment, intending to have a heart-to-heart talk with the newcomer. Although he knew that the other party had the talent of a general, he couldn't show it too obviously, otherwise many things would not make sense.
After all, strictly speaking, it was their first meeting. The reason why he recommended Zhang Liao to Xun Yu as a breakthrough point was because he had seen this name in the files of Bingzhou officials.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Liao and said with a smile: "I heard that Wen Ruo was able to successfully control Yanmen County because of the help of the general."
Zhang Liao was trying to figure out Liu Bei's intention of summoning him. After hearing this, he cupped his hands and replied: "The general is only fulfilling his duties loyally and does not dare to claim his merits."
"Although you are loyal to your duties, you have also contributed to quelling the chaos. In addition, you led the army to come to the rescue all night and night, which is also a great achievement."
Liu Bei paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "Ding Yuan is dead, and I plan to divide his three thousand wolf cavalry into two, and let you and Lu Bu take charge."
Now that Ding Yuan is dead, his six thousand wolf cavalry are naturally free.
Liu Bei did not intend to hand over all of them to Lu Bu, so he planned to divide this force and hand half of it to Zhang Liao.
As for the three thousand cavalry brought by Zhang Liao from Yanmen, they were led by Zhang Fei, who rushed to Yanmen together with Lu Bu and were handed over to Gao Shun at the same time.
In this way, the division of troops among his generals became clear.
The entire Bingzhou requires a total of about 50,000 troops. In addition to some of the troops stationed in various counties and counties and the 5,000 troops guarding Yanmen, Liu Bei left 16,000 standing troops waiting for deployment.
Among them, Zhang Fei had a mixture of 5,000 infantry and cavalry, and Guan Yu had similar numbers after increasing his troops. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao each commanded 3,000 wolf cavalry.
This is the most capable main force of the Bingzhou Army, and is commanded by four generals.
Coupled with Guo Jia and Xun Yu as counselors, Jian Yong in charge of diplomacy, and Mi Zhu in logistics, Liu Bei's team has been initially completed.
Gao Shun is a special person, Liu Bei plans to give him the responsibility of guarding Yanmen. He has met this man in his previous life and knows that he is prudent and can guard Yanmen more than enough.
By the way, Gao Shun seems to have an army that is good at fighting... It seems to be called the trapped camp.
Liu Bei thought secretly.
Zhang Liao thought that he would be promoted due to his merits in this trip, but he did not expect that the number of soldiers and horses in his hands would increase threefold so quickly.
But he soon understood that Liu Shijun had just arrived in Bingzhou, so he naturally wanted to build his own core team and recruit meritorious soldiers as his confidants, and he was one of the chosen ones.
Isn't this the Ming Zhu he has always wanted to pursue?
Zhang Liao knelt down and said solemnly: "Thank you, Lord, for your attention. I will definitely live up to my command."
"Okay, okay, I've got Wenyuan, I'm even more powerful than a tiger!"
When you meet for the first time, don't praise it too much.
——
After Ding Yuan was defeated and Bai Bo's army was destroyed, Guo Jia fell ill when he returned to Jinyang, at least that's what he wrote in his leave request to Liu Bei.
He had only half a day to spare. As a military advisor, he was only responsible for fighting, and he did not want to plunge into the mountain of government affairs.
In the courtyard of Guo Mansion, the patient was lying comfortably on his back on a homemade recliner, looking at the busy beautiful scenery in front of him with interest.
Since he had "Nanhua Old Immortal" as his spokesperson, he has become much more relaxed. Even if Liu Bei finds out the clues, it can be attributed to Nanhua Old Immortal's gift.
Even if Liu Bei was suspicious, he would never have thought that someone would time travel from two thousand years ago, would he?
He has never read the online article.
At most, I suspect that Guo Jia has also been reborn.
Su Meiniang put down her sewing work, rolled her beautiful eyes at this man, and said angrily: "Even if your husband wants to be lazy, you should find a suitable reason. You can't keep claiming to be sick."
The ancients were superstitious and believed that this was not a good sign. They said that if you have been sick for a long time, you might actually have caused the disease.
Besides, this man fell ill as soon as he came home, and people outside thought it was the sisters who had squeezed the man dry!
Guo Jia said seriously: "Is there anything wrong? My husband is indeed ill, and he is very ill."
"What disease does your husband have?"
"This is a symptom of Qi and blood deficiency."
Su Meiniang immediately didn't want to pay attention to him. It was obviously you who kept asking, but now you blame him for pestering you.
At this time, Bian Yuer walked in with her slim and graceful body, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.
"Husband, take medicine."
