Daze is facing the gap of Wolf Mountain, and it is the only way to enter and exit the western grassland through Henan.When Liang Xiao first traveled west, he stopped here.However, at that time, he only had a few people, walking day and night, for fear of being discovered by the Huns, unlike now, when he commanded ten thousand elite cavalry, and had the confidence to level all the enemies in front of him.The Han army came too suddenly, the Huns were not prepared at all, and before the sporadic teams of scouts could react, they were swarmed by the murderous Han army and caught them.After interrogating the captives, Li Guang learned that the Aries King and the Loufu King had already prepared.Two months ago, the Huns received the news of the assembly of the Han army in Shangjun and Yanmen, and were preparing to take the initiative to attack and give the Han army a little color.Li Guang smiled, and Li Xi also smiled.The Huns were still so arrogant that they had no idea that they were dying.The king of Lou was guarding against Han Anguo in Yanmen, and the king of Aries was guarding against Cheng Buzhi in Shangjun, but he didn't know that he Li Guang had outflanked them."
Capture in one fell swoop."
Li Guang stretched out his big hand and waved it vigorously, full of spirit."
General, I think we can wait."
Liang Xiao stopped Li Guang in time.At this moment, his and Li Guang's identities are somewhat reversed.Li Guang, who should have been calm, was a little irritable, but he had to press the excitement in his heart and control the whole rhythm as much as possible.Li Guang's eyes were a little unkind."
It's okay to be troubled by the King of Lou, do you still want to give the Aries King to Cheng Buzhi" Liang Xiao smiled."
General, if there is only the Aries King and the Lou Fu King, then naturally there is nothing to say, rush up and kill them without leaving a piece of armor.But the general should not forget that this is already Yin Mountain, and the main force of Xiongnu Shan Yu may appear at any time.The general thinks that Shan Yu's head is worth anything, or is the head of the Aries King valuable" Li Guang blinked his eyes and grinned."
What if you don't come?"
If you don't come, after we clean up the Aries King, we still have enough spare strength to move westward to attack the weak with the strong.It is also very impressive to defeat the outnumbered and accumulate military merits.Why bother competing with General Han and General Cheng, they are a mixed foot and horseman, without our cooperation.It will be difficult for them to completely annihilate the Huns.When they are inseparable from each other, we will kill them again, not only will there be no suspicion of merit, but we can also settle personal favors, what's wrong" Li Guang nodded again and again with satisfaction."
You kid, it's too insidious, if Lao Cheng knew, he would definitely scold you."
Liang Xiao smiled slightly."
He scolds freedom, he scolds, and if the general doesn't scold me, I'll be at ease."
Li Guangguang laughed.He then ordered the army to rest and recuperate at Zebian.Keep scouts away so as not to be discovered by the Huns.Li Guang was scattered and easy, did not set up camps, and his subordinates chose their own places to rest.Li Xi of the former army was different, he strictly ordered the soldiers to set up camp without any negligence.The army has entered the hinterland of the Huns, and the battle can happen at any time, no matter how careful it is, it is worth it.Liang Xiao, as a general, also led 3,000 cavalry to be stationed on the northeast side of Daze.He had the experience of commanding two or three thousand men before, but this time he was fighting with Li Guang.He can't make his own decisions about everything.However, he still values it very much to be able to go out with the army this time.In this era, there were not many opportunities to command tens of thousands of cavalry in battle.Every experience is a rare learning opportunity.However, it was not as difficult as he thought.Most of the officers and men in the army came from the six counties in the northwest, and in addition to their personal cavalry and archery ability, they were no strangers to this kind of large army combat.Liang Xiao only needs to take care of those captains and captains, and other things are carried out according to custom.Cooperate with Liang Xiao's grandson Rongnu.During the siege of King Hugh Tu, they cooperated tacitly.Li Guang arranged him to Liang Xiao again.Gongsun Rongnu is a native of Yiqu and a descendant of Yiqu Rong.Yiqu was conquered by the Qin people, and they became Qin people again.Han destroyed Qin, and they became Han people again.Despite this, their physiognomy is somewhat different from that of the Central Plains.Gongsun Rongnu has outstanding riding and archery ability and can ride bareback horses.He was able to become a lieutenant because he was promoted step by step with his martial arts."
Take Henan and build a few fortresses here, and Beidi County will be safe."
Gongsun Rongnu sat by the campfire, cut off a piece of meat with a short knife and threw it into his mouth, chewing it until his mouth was full of oil, and said, "Junhou, this is a great merit. ”"As a warrior, it is my duty to protect my family and defend the country, and I can talk about any merits."
Liang Xiao smiled and twitched over the map."
You are from the Northland, are you familiar with the situation here In your opinion, after the defeat of the Aries King, where may he escape from" "The most likely places are here, and the second is Gaoque, both of which were the places where General Meng Tian built the fortress back then. ”Gongsun Rongnu said: "But that refers to a large group of people, if there are only dozens or hundreds of people left, it will be difficult to say, hide in the mountains, no one will want to find him." ”Liang Xiao glanced at him."
You are so confident," Gongsun Rongnu wiped his beard."
Of course, although the strength of the Aries King is not weak, it is not as good as the King of Hugh Tu.The 20,000 horses of the king of Hugh Tu were eaten by us in one bite, and the king of Aries is nothing but a lamb to the slaughter. ”Liang Xiao also smiled.This is not Gongsun Rongnu's opinion alone, the Han army probably thinks so.Ordinary soldiers are different from the imperial court, they can't think about those big things, they only know that no one is willing to be a bad breed in the face of the Huns.These years have been pressed and beaten by the Huns, they have long been suffocated, a belly of evil fire finally has a chance to vent, this time how can not be a happy Even so, Liang Xiao still did not dare to relax, he suggested that Li Guang send a team of five hundred people, with sufficient supplies to rush to Gaoque, to find favorable terrain, ready to intercept the fleeing Aries King or Lou Fu King when necessary.Li Guang agreed, and sent Li Dang to lead five hundred Longyou knights to Gaoque.A fast horse rushed into the camp of Cheng Buzhi and sent an edict from the Son of Heaven.Knowing that Li Guang had forced to land on King Hugh, Cheng Buzhi was surprised and delighted.What was surprising was that Li Guang's luck was too good, and King Hutu actually threw himself into the net and sent it to Li Guang's hands; Fortunately, Li Guang succeeded, and with a large number of war horses, the strategic goal of seizing Henan had another chance to be realized.If this battle is successful, he also hopes to be a marquis.Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao are generals sent by the Son of Heaven to assist Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing is a general of the chariot cavalry, and Gongsun Ao is a general of the light car, almost under Cheng Buzhi and above the army.Considering their identities, even Cheng Buzhi himself can't underestimate them.After reading the edict, Wei Qing nodded again and again, smiling.Gongsun Ao smacked his lips and slapped his thigh."
Then what are you waiting for, let's go.Liang Xiao's kid ran fast, maybe he had already arrived in Henan and slaughtered the Aries King. ”Cheng Buzhi is no stranger to Liang Xiao, and knows that the youngest general in the history of the Han Dynasty has traveled thousands of miles with an amazing speed.Li Guang is another anxious man, they have a shift, and there are enough war horses, they will definitely march to Henan in a hurry."
Two generals, let's go at once.I'm going to let the two generals lead the cavalry in front and coordinate with each other, and I myself will lead the foot soldiers behind. ”Gongsun Ao slapped his thigh without thinking."
That's the best."
Wei Qing shook his head, stood up, and arched his hand: "General, since General Li has been prepared, we don't have to worry about the Huns escaping, so why rush for a while, the Huns are overwhelming, our army has insufficient cavalry, there is no foot soldier to help, once we meet, our army has no certainty of victory, it will inevitably be a vicious battle."
It's better to ride on foot. ”Cheng Buyi showed a faint smile, looked at Wei Qing with a little more kindness, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It is impossible for him to have no opinions about the Son of Heaven sending these two young men to assist him, but he is cautious by nature and will not put these opinions on his face.Even if Gongsun Ao behaved arrogantly, he didn't say anything.He knew very well that these two young people had a special status, and he could not afford to offend them at all.If Wei Qing was as eager to make meritorious service as Gongsun Ao and wanted to lead the cavalry to fight for merit first, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only give them this opportunity to make meritorious service.Cheng Buzhi discussed with Wei Qing and made a decision to divide the 40,000 infantry cavalry into two parts: Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao led 10,000 cavalry as the front army, and he himself led 30,000 infantry as the middle army, and advanced to the north at the same time.The army had long been prepared, waiting for the opportunity to go on the expedition.As soon as Cheng didn't know the military order, the Han army embarked on the journey, killing the junction of the two departments of the Aries King and the Loufu King with great momentum.At the same time, Han Anguo, the imperial historian, also received the edict and immediately led more than 30,000 cavalry to attack the Loufu Wang's department.The Han army of Yanmen County could not escape the eyes of King Lou Fu, and he had already been prepared, and when he heard that the Han army was dispatched, he led 20,000 horsemen to take the initiative to meet the battle.The two sides met in the area of Mamber and fought in one place.Although Han Anguo had 30,000 cavalry, he only had 10,000 cavalry, and he didn't dare to use cavalry to face him head-on, so he formed a formation with foot soldiers and confronted and fought with King Loufu.Although King Lou Fu did not have an advantage in troops, he was not weak at all.He was as confident as usual, and even boasted unashamedly that when Shan Yuting sent an envoy to check the battle situation, he would definitely defeat the Han army and let the Han people obediently send the princess.Two days later, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and others arrived, and learned that Han Anguo was fighting fiercely with King Loufu, Cheng Buzhi immediately sent Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao to lead the cavalry to attack and cooperate with Han Anguo.With the help of 10,000 cavalry led by Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao, Han Anguo finally had enough strength to counterattack.In the face of the attack of the Han army's seventy or eighty thousand cavalry, the king of Lou Fu was weak and took the initiative to retreat, and at the same time asked the king of Aries for help.
