Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

In Hexi, a large army was driving on the official road, carrying a flag with a Liu character.

This force is extremely powerful. Generally, the Han army is mostly infantry, with a small number of cavalry as auxiliary scouts. And this army of soldiers seems to have returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period 800 years ago. The troops sent by the princes were all based on chariots, and the powerful country was known as Wancheng.

I saw that there was a military vehicle in each of the two rows of troops, with three people on board.

And behind the chariot, there is still a lot of grain and grass piled up, so that there is no need for rear transshipment, and naturally there is no need to worry about the grain and grass being intercepted by the enemy.

Due to years of warfare in Hexi County, the local people were either forced out or ran away from other states and counties, so the population was sparsely populated, and the army marched for a long time before they encountered a settlement.

Liu Ye commanded: "Zifu, you go and invite the old people in the village to come over, and you can inquire about something important."

Guan Hai clasped his fist: "Here." After that, Guan Hai rode a horse into the village. After a while, he led a cringing old man with gray hair and a hundred and a half years away.

"General, what are you looking for a villain?" The old farmer respectfully bent down, and Liu Ye frowned.

Seeing Liu Ye frowning, the old farmer felt cold. Where did he offend this young general?

"Bingzhou people's livelihood is dying, and the court's fault is too." Liu Ye sighed, then turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and held the old farmer's hand.

"General, this, this is a shameless villain!" The old farmer was shocked. In the past, the county officials didn't bother to deal with them, but he didn't expect the brightly armored general in front of him...

"Old man, I am the general chariot general of the imperial court. This time I have led my troops in the Northern Expedition to fight against the Huns for the people of Bingzhou." Liu Ye said sincerely.

Unexpectedly, the old farmer's expression suddenly changed, and then he bowed and fell to the ground: "The general! The villain has already paid taxes and food three times this year, and one of the three sons in the family has starved to death. There is really no food left. Ask the general to open up. !"

It turned out that the old farmer heard that Liu Ye had come to conquer the Huns, and thought that Liu Ye had come to collect grain.

For army conquests, food and grass are naturally the top priority. In many cases, food is collected from the local area. In recent years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's disaster have caused the residents around Luoyang to suffer miserably.

Liu Ye helped the old farmer and turned around and said, "Zifu, take three stones of grain and grass."

The old farmer is a little confused, does this general want?

"General, here is the food and grass."

Guan Hai lifted a heavy cloth bag with one arm, which contained three stones of grain and grass. After Liu Ye took the bag, he handed it to him: "Old man, I am the master of the king, and Yiying does not exploit the people."

But the old farmer couldn't believe it and didn't dare to reach out for the bag.

Liu Ye smiled and put the bag directly into his hand: "Old man, just take it."

Puff!

The old farmer knelt to the ground, two lines of muddy tears washed out two gullies from his face.

"Great General! The villain has lived for half his life, and for the first time I met a good man like a general."

Liu Ye smiled reluctantly and relieved him a few words.

"Old man, have the Huns looted these days?"

"No, I haven't seen the Huns for a long time." The old farmer replied thoughtfully.

Liu Ye nodded, and after talking to the old farmer a few things, he sent him away, but his expression sank.

"Is the general worried that Wen Hou has led his army to fight the Huns?" Jia Xu, who was on the side, asked immediately, observing his words.

Liu Ye nodded and said worriedly: "Yes, the old man said that I have rarely seen the Huns and rebels recently. It seems that the second thief Li Guo and the Huns may have begun to act."

Thinking of this, Liu Ye ordered Guan Hai to call Zhang Liao over.

"What happened to the general summoning Liao?"

Liu Ye told Zhang Liao about the matter, and Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and confirmed: "It is true. Wen Hou has always been brave and brave. I am afraid that he has sent troops at this moment."

"General!"

With a loud shout, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and others looked over, and saw the army scout shouting: "General, I just met an enemy scout. It seems to be the Union State Army."

"Bring him here." Liu Ye looked at Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, leave it to you."

Zhang Liao said, if it's his own scout, of course he knows the military secret language.

After a short while, only a civilian was brought here, but there was a kind of aggressiveness on his body, and he knew that he was not an ordinary civilian.

When he saw Zhang Liao, he immediately smiled: "General Zhang!"

Zhang Liao was taken aback and said to Liu Ye: "General, I know him."

Liu Ye said, "Why did you come here? What's the matter?"

Zhang Liao added: "This is the imperial chariot general. This time he led his troops to the Northern Expedition. He is a friend but not an enemy. Just answer yes."

"Yes, General Zhang."

Liu Ye looked at him and said solemnly, "Why did Wen Hou send you here? What is the current Wen Hou army?"

The scout replied: "It was not the Wenhou sent villain who came here, it was General Gaoshun. When a certain left, Wenhou was fighting the Huns and Li Guo coalition forces."

"How many are the numbers of the two armies?"

"Our army has fifteen thousand, and the enemy has about five to six thousand."

Liu Ye frowned: "You go down."

When the scout was arranged, Zhang Liao frowned and said: "The gap between the two armies is too big, even if Wenhou is brave, I'm afraid..."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Ye: "General?"

"Move hurriedly, marching towards Yanmen County at full speed!" Liu Ye waved and ordered.

Under Liu Ye's order, 30,000 troops marched to the northeast with all their strength, and entered the territory of Yanmen County from Hexi on the second day.

As a pioneer, Ma Chao led the scouts to investigate and caught a few Qiangs. After rigorous interrogation, he finally learned that the Lv Bu army was attacked by the Huns and Li Guo's coalition forces and retreated to Kule Mountain.

"Retreating to Kule Mountain and setting up a front line for a while can prevent the Huns from invading and attacking, but the enemy does not need to attack at all. As long as they besieged around the mountain and cut off the water source of the Union State Army, Wen Hou is afraid that he will collapse without fighting. Jia Xu shook his head.

Zhang Liao looked a little ugly, then looked at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye signaled Zhang Liao to be safe, and then said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, call the generals for discussion!"

Jia Xu led the way, and after a short while, Zhang Jai, Ma Chao, Pound and other camp generals gathered in the tent.

Ma Chao couldn't wait to say: "General, are you going to start a war against the Huns?"

Liu Ye smiled and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down. After the generals were seated, he spoke.

"Everyone, now the Binzhou army is besieged by the Huns on the Kule Mountain, and they are going north for more than two hundred miles. If they step up their march, our army will be able to arrive in the future.

"Some is willing to be a pioneer!" Ma Chao geared up and stepped forward.

"Hey, why is Meng Qi anxious? Vanguard let me go."
