Chapter 995 (1/2)
”Marquis Wen, Duke Qin has an order to order you and I to lead the army to invade Liaodong. What's your suggestion?” Xu Huang said to Lv Bu Ke. Liu Ye specially told him that Lv Bu was aloof and arrogant, and Xu Huang must pay attention to Lv Bu's emotions. Xu Huang naturally took the overall situation into consideration, so he would ask Lv Bu's opinions first.
Lu Bu sneered: ”Liaodong is not worth mentioning. I can ride with ten thousand iron horses!”
Lu Bu led the cavalry to fight since Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Naturally, he was experienced. In his eyes, only Liangzhou iron cavalry, Bingzhou wolf riding and Youzhou valiant cavalry could be regarded as elite. As for Liaodong cavalry, it was almost hot. In particular, gongsundu had just been wiped out by Cao Cao, and his elite was also burned down.
”Wen Hou's words are not unreasonable, but our army still has to leave a partial division to guard against Cao's army in the plain country in case of future trouble.” Qingzhou is mainly distributed in the south of the Yellow River, but the plain state of Qingzhou is in Hebei, which is in the hands of Cao Jun, which poses a threat to Jizhou and Youzhou.
”Well, in this case, if a certain army is left to guard against the plain country, our army will march from the west of Liaoning Province and sweep the east of Liaoning Province!”
After discussing with Lv Bu for a while, Xu Huang finally worked out a strategic plan for Liaodong: he left 5000 steps to guard the Bohai Sea to prevent Cao's army from attacking the plain country. However, Xu Huang and Lv Bu sent out troops together. They rode forty thousand eastwards to attack Liaodong. Cao army's strength in Liaodong area was relatively weak, so attacking Liaodong area should be captured by hand.
When Xu Huang and Lv Bu had just discussed the countermeasures, suddenly a man came in outside the door and fell to his knees.
The latest news, Hou Wen! Kebi Neng of Xianbei led 50000 troops and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to invade the south. The front of the army pointed to Yanmen County
As the saying goes, the three armies do not move food and grass first, and they often worry about food and grass in the Central Plains expedition. However, the grain and grass of nomadic people are naturally different from those of farming people. They do not farm land, but raise horses and sheep. Therefore, when they usually go to war, they will directly drive a pile of sheep and eat sheep. When the sheep are finished, they will naturally withdraw. This is also the Han Army's victory over Hun After the army was enslaved, the reason why they were able to obtain thousands of sheep was their food and grass.
Lv Bu was furious when he heard the speech: ”it's a good Ke Bi Neng, it's really skin itching!”
In his early years, Lv Bu was very famous in Bingzhou, and he was called a flying general. Comparing Lv Bu with Li Guang, the famous flying General of Han Dynasty, it can be seen that the nomadic people have a deep fear of Lv Bu. Until later, Ding Yuan also heard about Lv Bu's name of bravery, so he recruited Lv Bu into the army as the master. If not for this, Lv Bu might have grown into Li Guangyi What about the famous garrison generals.
”Don't worry about Wen Hou. In this way, the situation has changed.” Xu Huang said solemnly: ”our army is now defending the enemy on three sides. The number of enemy troops is not small. I think our army should not act rashly and ask the general for instructions.”
”When is the time to ask the general for instructions?” Lv Bu said in a hurry: ”Xianbei cavalry marches with great speed. One man, two horses and even three horses can reach Yanmen County in seven days. Yanmen county is flat. How can we stop the enemy's attack?”
Xu Huang does not fail to understand this truth. After all, he is a famous general who can ”drive straight in”. If Liu Ye does not move in the same place, the war will surely fall behind.
”Well, now we'll send someone to ask the general for instructions, but we can't be indifferent. Let's ask general Lu to lead Bingzhou's iron cavalry northward to Yanmen county to resist the enemy. How about if we lead our soldiers to the North slowly?” Xu Huang suggested.
