Chapter 227 Chapter 227 Leaving Yanmen in the north

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"The general has finally met His Majesty."

Huo Qubing walked into the Yangxin Hall and saluted Zhou Chen respectfully on the dragon throne.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Qubing; "How are you preparing?"

Since the dispatch of troops outside the pass was announced at the court meeting, Zhou Chen asked Huo Qubing to start preparing for the dispatch.

After all, sending troops is no small matter. There are many things that need to be prepared in advance.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the general has made all preparations."

"General Mo can set off for the border at any time."

Huo Qubing bowed and said.

"Then I will leave the war in Xirong to you."

"I have only one request, and that is to destroy Xirong for me."

Zhou Chen's tone was full of no doubt.

He went on an expedition and sent troops outside the pass, not just to counterattack Xirong's previous invasion.

Nor is it to make Xirong surrender and pay tribute, and bow its head.

But to completely destroy Xirong.

Those who are not of my race must have different minds.

Historically, the people of the Central Plains have made the mistake of being an official with propriety, justice, integrity and shame. They believe that as long as they treat foreigners with courtesy and do not exterminate them, the foreigners will bow their heads and be grateful.

But little do they know that wolves are never cooked enough.

When you are strong, the wolf is afraid of your force. Under the deterrence of your force, the wolf will obediently surrender.

But if you show weakness and no longer have the power to intimidate, the wolf will pounce on you and bite you, or even give you a fatal blow.

This is the conclusion Zhou Chen came to based on the historical lessons from his previous life.

Therefore, in Zhou Chen's opinion, in order to solve the problem of alien races, only by completely annihilating the alien races can we solve the problem once and for all.

"The general will obey the decree."

Huo Qubing bowed to receive the order.

As a champion who once wiped out the Xiongnu, Zhou Chen's attitude towards foreigners was exactly what Huo Qubing wanted.

Huo Qubing felt that to deal with the alien race, only by completely eradicating the alien race by force can the solution be achieved once and for all, and a gentle approach could only solve the temporary disaster, but not the eternal disaster.

"Go for it!"

"Leave immediately for Xiliang and hunt outside the Great Wall. I am waiting for your good news."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said nothing more.

"I will finally retire."

Huo Qubing turned around and left the Yangxin Hall.

…

Outside Luoyang City.

Shenwuwei Nanying.

There are six guards in the south camp, and 180,000 Shenwu guards have formed an army to prepare for the war.

These are all the soldiers and horses that Zhou Dynasty went to the border this time. There are also three thousand white horse followers wearing white armor and riding on white horses.

Zhao Yun and his white horse Yi Cong have also rushed back to Luoyang.

This time Zhao Yun and Baima Yicong will also go to Xiliang along with Huo Qubing.

Click on the table.

Huo Qubing stood there expressionlessly. In addition to Zhao Yun, there were also Hua Xiong, Pan Feng, Wei Xu and other generals of the Shenwu Guard.

"Set off."

Huo Qubing glanced at the army below and uttered two words coldly.

Following Huo Qubing's order.

The 180,000 Shenwuwei army, led by several Shenwuwei generals, left the south camp one after another and rushed to the border.

…

Xiliang.

Outside Xijing City.

Zhang Liao and Dong Jun were waiting outside the city gate with some generals of the Xiliang Army.

Zhang Liao and Dong Jun had already received the news that the imperial army was coming.

Zhang Liao and these generals of the Xiliang Army were waiting outside the city gate to welcome the imperial army.

"General Zhang, who is this General Huo?"

"Why did the imperial court let General Huo be the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army instead of General Zhang?"

Dong Jun asked confused and curiously.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Dong Jun already knew Zhang Liao's abilities and he was definitely a rare general.

Dong Jun was very surprised that the imperial court left a rare general like Zhang Liao unused, and instead appointed Huo Qubing, whom they had never heard of, as the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army.

Is this General Huo stronger than Zhang Liao?

Zhang Liao heard Dong Jun's doubts, glanced at Dong Jun and said, "The imperial court has its own arrangements, we just have to follow its orders."

"As for who General Huo is, you will know when General Huo arrives."

Zhang Liao said calmly without saying anything more.

After Jia Xu left, Zhang Liao became very careful.

Even Dong Jun and Zhang Liao were on guard.

Although Dong Jun did defect to the imperial court before, helping the imperial court capture the Marquis of Xiliang and take over the Xiliang army.

But it was Dong Jun who was forced and induced. It is hard to say whether Dong Jun's true heart was towards the imperial court.

Therefore, Zhang Liao followed the principle of being on guard against others.

As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance.

Zhang Liao and Dong Jun looked around and saw thousands of cavalry wearing white armor and riding white horses running from a distance.

"What an elite cavalryman."

Seeing the white horse Yi Cong running towards him, Zhang Liao and Dong Jun both had a flash of light in their eyes.

Especially Dong Jun, how come he has never seen such an elite cavalry in the Xiliang Army for many years.

Bai Mayi rushed over in the blink of an eye, led by Huo Qubing and Zhao Yun.

In order to rush to Xiliang as soon as possible, Huo Qubing took Zhao Yun and Baima Yicong to take the first step.

As for the Shenwuwei army, they are still behind.

"But it's in front of General Huo."

Seeing Bai Ma Yicong stop, Zhang Liao stepped forward and asked.

"It's this general, and the person opposite is General Zhang."

Huo Qubing nodded and looked at Zhang Liao.

"The last general is Zhang Liao."

"Zhang Liao has met General Huo."

Zhang Liao bowed his hands to Huo Qubing.

Next to him, Dong Jun and several other generals from the Xiliang Army also clasped their fists and saluted Huo Qubing, "I have seen General Huo."

"No need to be polite."

Huo Qubing waved his hand.

"This general came to Xiliang first. The army is still behind and will arrive tomorrow."

"Let's go to the city first!"

Huo Qubing said.

"General Huo please."

Zhang Liao and Dong Jun took the generals of the Xiliang Army and welcomed Huo Qubing and Zhao Yun into Xijing City.

…

Zhenxi General Mansion.

Huo Qubing took out an imperial decree and handed it to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, this is your Majesty's decree. All generals, please read it first!"

Zhang Liao received the imperial edict and took turns with Dong Jun and other generals to read the contents of the edict.

After reading the contents of the imperial edict, Zhang Liao, Dong Jun and other generals all raised their hands to Huo Qubing and said, "Everyone in the Xiliang army must obey General Huo's orders."

Huo Qubing nodded; "You have all read the imperial edict, so I won't be polite."

“Let’s talk about the specific situation of Xiliang Army first!”

Huo Qubing did not show any pretense and directly asked about the current specific situation of the Xiliang Army.

Although the Ministry of War has already talked about some situations of the Xiliang Army before, it was not specific.

Now Huo Qubing wants to know the specific situation of the Xiliang Army.

"Yes, General Huo."

Immediately, Zhang Liao talked about the specific situation of the Xiliang Army.

…

Northern Xinjiang.

Zhenbeicheng.

Zhenbei General Mansion.

Lu Bu sat on the main seat.

Sitting below were Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Pan Feng and others.

Jia Xu has come to Northern Xinjiang from Xiliang to be military counselor of the Zhenbei Army.

Wei Xu and Pan Feng came to northern Xinjiang with the Shenwu Guard army.

Nanying Shenwu had six guards, three of whom were taken to Xiliang by Huo Qubing, and the remaining three were brought to Northern Xinjiang by Wei Xu and Pan Feng.

Lu Bu glanced at everyone present and said, "You have all read His Majesty's decree. I will be the commander-in-chief of the North Army."

"Your Majesty has decreed that this general will lead the troops out of the pass and wipe out the foreign tribes in Beidi."

"If there is anything unnecessary, I won't say anything else."

"Now that the Imperial Court's Shenwuwei army has arrived in Northern Xinjiang, it will be time for me to send troops to Northern Xinjiang and beyond."

After saying this, Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu.

"Jia Canjun, how many troops do you think is appropriate to send troops outside the pass?"

"How many soldiers and horses need to be left behind?"

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and asked.

Jia Xu wanted to join the army. Lu Bu had to ask Jia Xu for his opinion on this issue.

Although they have to send troops outside the pass to deal with Beidi.

But no one can guarantee whether Beidi will send partial troops to seize the opportunity to attack Northern Xinjiang.

If there are fewer troops left behind and Beidi can take advantage of the opportunity to attack, there will be big problems.

"General, Xu believes that leaving 50,000 troops to suppress the north in northern Xinjiang is enough."

Jia Xu said directly.

Lu Bu nodded after hearing this.

Now the Zhenbei Army has 150,000 troops, of which 50,000 are left, and there are still 100,000 that can be mobilized.

Plus the three divine guards from the imperial court.

In other words, there were nearly 200,000 troops leaving the customs.

It's enough to deal with the foreign tribes in Beidi.

"Then leave 50,000 Zhenbei Army to guard Northern Xinjiang, and all other troops."

"Whether it's the Zhenbei Army or the Shenwu Guards, please immediately pass on this general's order and prepare to follow me out of the border and hunt outside the Great Wall."

Lu Bu stood up and said majestically.

"Follow orders."

Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others stood up and accepted the order in unison.

…

Beidi.

Royal Court.

After receiving the news that the Beidi army that was marching south had been completely wiped out, the entire Beidi cast a shadow.

Even Beidi Royal Court is no exception.

The 300,000 Beidi army was completely annihilated in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made it impossible for Beidi to recover in the next ten years.

Especially the death of Beidi's Imperial Master dealt a heavy blow to Beidi.

Everyone in Beidi was worried whether Zhou would take the opportunity to send troops outside the pass to deal with Beidi.

These days, this tense atmosphere has been hanging over Beidi.

On this day, a group of Tanqi rushed into the royal court, completely breaking the tense atmosphere in Beidi.

In the palace.

King Beidi sat on the throne with an ugly look on his face.

Below are the five pillar ministers of Beidi.

"I have just received news that the Great Zhou Dynasty has sent troops to close Yanmen."

"The general is Lu Bu."

King Beidi glanced at the five ministers below and said in a deep voice.

It’s true that the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

Dazhou really sent troops to Yanmen Pass to deal with Beidi.

And the commander-in-chief was still Lu Bu, the half-step heavenly man who destroyed his 300,000-strong army from Beidi that marched south, and even Beidi's Imperial Guard died at the hands of his opponent.

This made King Beidi extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, is this news true?"

"Did Zhou really send troops to Yanmen?"

When the five ministers heard this, their expressions all changed.

The 300,000 Beidi army that marched south were completely wiped out, and the national army was killed in the battle. It can be said that Beidi is at its weakest now.

When Zhou Dynasty sends troops to Yanmen, Beidi is really in danger.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty has indeed sent troops to Yanmen. In addition to the Zhenbei Army, there are also the Great Zhou Dynasty's Shenwu Guards."

"Furthermore, our detective cavalry had fought against Da Zhou's scouts a few days ago."

King Beidi's voice was a little deep.

He didn't expect that Da Zhou would actually let the Shenwu Guards out of seclusion this time.

It seems that Dazhou is really determined to win Beidi.

Shenwuwei?

The expressions of the five Beidi ministers changed again.

The Shenwu Guards were the most elite army in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou actually dispatched the Shenwu Guards this time, which made the five Beidi ministers feel even heavier.

"Your Majesty, since the Great Zhou Dynasty has sent out troops from Yanmen, it has also dispatched Shenwu Guards."

"Then I, Beidi, should immediately summon all the warriors to resist the Zhou army."

A minister said anxiously.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

"I, Beidi, must immediately contact Xirong and Nanman to ask them to support me, Beidi, or to harass Da Zhou to share the pressure for me, Beidi."

Another minister came forward and said.

Upon hearing this, King Beidi nodded, "This is also the purpose of my calling you to the palace."

"This time the Great Zhou Dynasty sent troops to Yanmen with a fierce force. It is almost certain that we, Beidi, will win."

"This is related to my life and death in Beidi."

"Once we, Beidi, are unable to withstand the Zhou army, you should all know what we, Beidi, will face."

"So, I have decided that I will personally take action in this battle with the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Immediately pass on my king's order to recruit all the warriors from Beidi to accompany my king to face the enemy Zhou Dynasty."

"Also, contact Xirong and Nanman immediately and tell them that if I, Beidi, are destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, then it will be their turn next."

King Beidi said directly.

What?

The king wants to personally lead the troops to fight?

Upon hearing this, the five Beidi ministers were about to persuade, but were directly interrupted by the Beidi King.

"This king has already decided on this matter, you don't need to say more."

"Just do as I say."

The person who can sit on the throne of Beidi and be respected as a king by the people around Beidi is not an ordinary person.

You know, the King of Beidi ascended the throne on horseback.

Seeing the unquestionable expression on King Beidi's face, the five Beidi ministers had no choice but to swallow their words.

Since King Beidi has already made his decision, it is useless what they are saying.

He can only act according to the orders of King Beidi.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The five ministers bowed to accept the order.

…

Xirong.

When the King of Beidi received the news that Zhou Dynasty had sent troops to Yanmen, the King of Xirong also received the news of the battle between Xirong's cavalry and the Xiliang army's scouts.

However, compared with Beidi, the King of Xirong has not received any news from the Xiliang army.

However, the Xiliang Army's scouts have already gone out to investigate, so the King of Xirong knows without thinking that the Xiliang Army will probably send troops to Yumen next.

Otherwise, how could the Xiliang Army send scouts out to investigate.

Therefore, as soon as the King of Xirong received the news of the battle between Xirong's cavalry and the Xiliang army's scouts, he immediately ordered the recruitment of Xirong's warriors to prepare for the next war with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, the King of Xirong immediately sent people to contact Beidi, hoping to get Beidi's support.

A smell of gunpowder smoke began to envelope the entire outside the Great Wall.
