Chapter 589 Entering and Killing Hu
Chapter 589 Entering and Killing Hu
Six months have passed since the order to kill Hu Hu was issued, and it has been four months since the establishment of the [-] Hu Killing Army. However, Liu Xie, King Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not quickly move northward in the anticipation of the people.
On the Hejian County side, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Wang Xuance took advantage of the cavalry to search for fighters and invade the food roads, causing Yuan Shao's 20 troops to march slowly.
Rumors arose again, saying that Liu Xie had no intention of eradicating Xianbei, but just took the opportunity to recruit troops to attack Yuan Shao.
But there are also other voices, saying that it is understandable that King Wu will move his whole body if the timing is not enough.
Amidst the discussions, the time Liu Xie had to wait for soon arrived.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and many other princes sent envoys to Qinghe County, announcing to the world that they were willing to help Liu Xie kill Hu.
Of course, this was just an empty promise, no one brought a single soldier or horse, and no money or food, just to gain a reputation in front of the people.
As for Liu Xie, what he wanted was their seemingly worthless promise.
On that day, Liu Xie personally led the Yanzhou army, killed Hu Jun, and Li Jing, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, Zhao Yun, Gao Chong, Jiang Song and other Qingyan civil and military forces headed towards Bingzhou.
Bingzhou, since Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu that day, has been suffering from wars for a long time. The fields are barren and the people are displaced, making this bitter cold place even more dilapidated.
Later, when Dong Zhuo went west to Guanzhong, Huang Chao took advantage of the opportunity to enter. Under the invasion of Huang Ju's army, the chaos in Bingzhou became worse than before, and the suffering of the people was unspeakable.
Now that the Xianbei invaders have plundered Bingzhou, most of the surviving civilians have been captured as slaves.
Huang Taiji is very talented and general, and he wanted to treat the people of Bingzhou with benevolence and justice, but the hatred between the two clans is too deep, and the people of the big man would rather die than surrender, so Huang Taiji can only use iron and blood methods to suppress them, as an example to others.
With vigorous and resolute actions, the effect is really good. Now he has basically controlled all the counties in Bingzhou.
After killing Hu's army, they marched all the way to Shangdang County in Bingzhou. Liu Xie just ordered the army to camp outside the city for repairs.
The Xianbei general who was in charge of guarding the Shangdang was none other than Obai, who was known as the number one fierce general of the Qing Dynasty.
Aobai was born in the general family, proficient in riding and shooting, and now he came to the Xianbei tribe, and he and Kuo Kuo Timur are called the twin prides of the younger generation of Xianbei generals.
Hearing that Liu Xieli's order to kill Hu was spread all over the world, the Xianbei clan was terrified. During this period, they sent an additional 30 Hu cavalry, plus 60 Han Chinese who were forcibly recruited from Bingzhou, for a total of [-] soldiers and horses. They declared [-] cavalry to resist and Defeat Liu Xie's Killing Hu Jun.
In one county of Shangdang alone, there are [-] Huqi and [-] Han people.
"These Han people are bullied and don't know how to resist. In the end, they help the Xianbei people to defend the city. It's really annoying!"
Outside the gate of Shangdang City, the bearded Ran Min was trembling with anger as he looked at the Han people on the top of the city who took up weapons and pointed at them.
"It's not that I don't know how to resist, but that I can't resist. The people suffer so much, and it's useless to compare us."
Liu Xie smiled bitterly, how powerful was the former big man, who chased his horses outside the Great Wall and set up his mansion in the Western Regions, how dare he teach the barbarians to use weapons recklessly.
"My lord, Xianbei's foothold in Shangdang has been established, and Oboi is not a reckless person. It may be difficult for us to destroy the city. Why didn't we take advantage of Xianbei's first entry into Bingzhou and send an army to seize Shangdang as a place to garrison troops? Woolen cloth?"
Zhao Yun came out and asked a little puzzled.
"It's not a good strategy to scare the snake away, not to mention that there is no difficulty in taking Shangdang."
Guo Jia received Liu Xie's hint, smiled lightly, and explained for Zhao Yun and the generals.
"Xianbei's strength lies in the cavalry, which come and go like the wind, and the cavalry is absolutely impossible to chase, and the battle is difficult to win. But please remember that although Xianbei is strong, it is only strong on the open grassland. Our army has been fighting for a long time The purpose of keeping the soldiers still is to let Xianbei settle in the counties of Bingzhou with peace of mind, not to mention the scattered soldiers and horses, once they enter the city, the cavalry they are proud of will definitely be discounted in combat power, but it is nothing to worry about."
Although the Xianbei cavalry left their war horses, they were still sturdy, but they were far inferior to the Killing Hu army who were skilled in martial arts and coordinated with their rules.
Seemingly doing nothing, letting Xianbei operate and suppress, in fact, restraining most of the Xianbei cavalry is more useful than doing anything.
This is the way of counselors' ingenuity. You don't need to kill a single person, but you can beat everyone.
"Now that Li Jing is leading the army to Xihe County, we have only a hundred thousand troops, and the siege of the city still cannot be slack."
Liu Xie took up the conversation. He wanted to completely wipe out the Hu people this time, so he divided his troops and Li Jing asked him to go to Xihe County to attack Kuokuo Timur to prevent Xianbei from fleeing to the Western Regions after being defeated.
One hundred thousand against fifty thousand is not only infantry and cavalry, but also siege versus defender, which is really not optimistic.
After hearing this, all the generals immediately bowed to accept the order, became nervous, and all said well.
Although Bingzhou was broken, Shangdang was a rare fortified city. Looking at the Xianbei flag swaying in the wind on the city wall, Liu Xie's eyes gradually turned cold.
The next day, Liu Xie and his generals went out of the city again, and Oboi also led his fine cavalry out of the city to face off.
"Big Han Wu Wang, this is not the place you should come to, go back!"
Aobai's momentum was not weak, he waved his big hand and said loudly.
"It's ridiculous, since I am the King Wu of the Great Han Dynasty, and the Han people in the world, I can't go anywhere, why do you, a barbarian from outside the Great Wall, give orders here!"
Liu Xie's face became even colder. This Oboi really regarded Bingzhou as their Xianbei territory.
Aobai raised his head and laughed, pointing at the Han people on the tower and jokingly said, "The Han people are no longer Han people, and the Han people are no longer Han people. In Shangdang, there are no big men to speak of!"
"Excessive words, just don't know how good your skills are?"
"Although Oboi is only a young general from Xianbei, and his martial arts skills are not as good as those of the seniors in the army, but it is not difficult to defeat Han generals like you, I am willing to do it!"
Oboi is always smart, he knows that Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, Zhao Yun and others in Liu Xie's army are unstoppable generals, so he took the initiative to only call himself a young general. The implication is that you can fight me if you want, but don't send these famous generals fight with me.
Liu Xie sneered again, how could he not understand the meaning of Aobai's words, but besides Li Cunxiao and others, is there no one else in his army?
"Where is Jiang Wei?"
"The end is here!"
With a slightly immature voice, Jiang Wei is only 14 years old now, but he is already quite heroic. This time Liu Xie killed Hu, he and Deng Ai got the approval of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and came here to practice with the army.
Although he was a little surprised that Liu Huihui called him, Jiang Wei still came out with a gun in his hand, looking full of heroic spirit and extraordinary demeanor.
"Kongming said that you are versatile in both civil and military affairs, and Yongnian also said that you are superb in marksmanship. Let me see if you deserve the praise of the two of them!"
"My lord, don't worry, if you lose this battle, Jiang Wei will draw his sword and die without waiting for the lord's military order!"
After all, he was still young, and when he heard Liu Xie's suspicious words, Jiang Wei felt a little impatient, and took the initiative to pat his chest and issued a military order.
