Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Xu who was eager to try and smiled bitterly:

"It is good for this kid to stay with Brother Ziyi, but I am afraid that it will delay your military affairs, which is not good."

"Well, let him stay with me first, and start with the personal guard. When this kid is almost beaten, I will let him be Wenyuan's deputy. I admire him very much!"

"Only when the young eagle flaps its wings and flies high on its own can it soar into the sky. Brother Bogui, you must let this kid grow up on his own, right?"

Gongsun Zan nodded.

"In this case, I will trouble Brother Ziyi during this period."

"By the way, as for the Wuhuan people, wait until next month, when the heavy snow gradually melts, you and I will split into two groups to lead the elite cavalry and raid their hometown."

Liu Yao nodded.

"Then I will trouble Brother Bogui this time."

...

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this period, the archery skills of the light cavalry have improved very quickly, all thanks to the careful teaching of Li Ling's descendants who were brought back from the grassland some time ago.

Since joining Liu Yao's account, Gongsun Xu has devoted all his energy to practicing Ma Shuo.

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu have also taught this kid a lot of moves, and Liu Yao has also given him guidance from time to time.

Over the past month, Gongsun Xu's state of mind has become much calmer, and his Shuo method has also improved a lot, and he looks calmer.

Now Gongsun Xu can take on Liu Yao's ten moves without losing.

Today, Youzhou also received news about Gongsun Zan.

It's time to hunt the Wuhuan people!

...

A week later.

Two hundred miles north of Youzhou, the Wuhuan people were curled up in their tents, shivering constantly.

The leaders of many Wuhuan tribes gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"We, the Gray Wolf Tribe, almost froze to death over 10,000 cattle and sheep this winter. Many people lacked food and supplies for the winter, and all froze to death in their tents. We estimate that nearly 5,000 people..."

At this time, a tall, thin man with a sallow face said:

"What do you mean? Our tribe is in the far north, where the temperature is even lower. There are less than 3,000 people left in our tribe, and only a few hundred cattle and sheep. If this continues, our tribe will be wiped out!"

"I heard that the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu received assistance from the Han Dynasty this winter. Why don't we also form an alliance with Liu Yao of Bingzhou? In exchange for supplies?"

At this time, another man with a rough appearance came forward.

"The Xianbei, since they got Liu Yao's supplies, their ambitions have increased dramatically. Our tribe has fought with their vanguard troops hundreds of times, and their wolfish ambitions have long been exposed."

"They have long coveted our land, and this time they will definitely take advantage of the situation! We have to think of a way to find a way out, otherwise, we will be destroyed sooner or later."

At this time, the tall and thin man stood up first and looked at everyone and said.

"Everyone! The Xianbei defeated the Han Dynasty in the early years. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty has weakened. All we want is to preserve the bloodline of the Wuhuan people."

"Why don't we surrender to the Xianbei? This will also allow our tribe to survive."

Everyone present was discussing one after another.

The middle-aged man sitting at the top patted the table.

This person is Tadun, the new Chanyu of Wuhuan. After Qiu Liju died, all the affairs of Wuhuan were under his control.

If Qiu Liju had not died, he would have formed an alliance with Yuan Shao later, almost stopped going south, and sent cavalry to help Yuan Shao.

Later, when Yuan Shao was defeated, his two sons fled to the territory of Wuhuan to seek refuge.

After Cao Cao took Youzhou, he took Guo Jia and Zhang Liao to destroy Wuhuan.

Zhang Liao also cut off Tadun's head at Bailang Mountain.

From then on, Zhang Liao became famous!

Later, in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, the words "If you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Hefei sent 100,000 heads" instantly doubled Zhang Liao's resume. Jiangdong Jerry successfully helped Zhang Liao enter the Temple of Martial Arts.

The reason why Yuan Shao chose to cooperate with Wuhuan was very simple, just three words: he couldn't beat them.

The Wuhuan people were famous for their archery skills. Only Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo and other generals who often fought against foreign races could control them. The others were basically pinned to the ground.

Tadun had a complicated look. He didn't need to think about this problem at all. If the supplies were gone, he would just rob them. Going to the Han Dynasty was like going to his own backyard.

Originally, they thought that Gongsun Zan was a hard bone in Youzhou, and they were not easy to chew. They wanted to eat something soft, but they didn't expect that they would hit the mace of Liu Yao in Bingzhou.Not only did the Wuhuan lose soldiers and generals, but the former Chanyu Qiu Liju was also shot dead by Liu Yao. With these two people in Youzhou and Bingzhou, who dares to plunder at will?

"I think it's better to do this, Chief Sar, since you always think it's good to surrender to the Xianbei, then you go and test their mouths. When you come back, we will make plans."

...

At the same time, outside the border of Youzhou, two cavalry units with tens of thousands of cavalry successfully joined together.

This time, Liu Yao called up 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry and 10,000 black armor heavy cavalry, and Gongsun Zan led 5,000 troops, of which 2,000 were white horse volunteers.

It was snowing lightly in the sky, and the snow on the ground had almost melted. Although the temperature rose slightly, in the north, if you don't keep warm in such weather, you will be frozen to death in a few hours.

In the Wuhuan outpost not far from Youzhou, ten Wuhuan people were surrounded in a small wooden pavilion with a brazier in the middle.

A short and fat Wuhuan man took out a few pieces of hairy taro from his pocket and threw them into the brazier. These pieces of hairy taro were a meal for the ten of them.

(Hairy taro was first recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period. It mostly grew in the northern hills. Sweet potatoes and potatoes were not available until the Ming Dynasty.)

"It's the coldest time of the year! Let us stay here and freeze, while those officials are warming themselves in the tent. We only have these pieces of broken hairy taro for one meal. We can't even be full!"

One of the Wuhuan people used a wooden stick to pull the hairy taro so that the charcoal below could cover the hairy taro.

"Okay, Bingsu, we can eat two meals a day, which is already quite good. I heard that many people don't even have one meal a day now, and large groups of people are starving to death."

"Although it is painful to stand guard in such a cold weather, at least we can barely fill our stomachs, and this is a good job. We just need to surround here. The Han army will not choose to attack at this time. The vast snowfield, unless they don't want to die."

Soon, the air was filled with the aroma of roasted hairy taro. Several hungry Wuhuan people couldn't wait and picked up the sticks on the ground to pick it out of the charcoal fire.

At this moment!

Outside the wooden pavilion, bursts of air-breaking sounds were heard.
