"What!" Cao Cao was shocked, how did this happen! He hurriedly looked at Mao Jie, but Mao Jie also seemed to be at a loss. what happened? Could it be that the Luochen faction attacked the Xiongnu by surprise and killed the Xiongnu Shanyu... This is too magical realism, how could it be so light...

Cao Cao was thinking about all kinds of possibilities, and Luo Chen seemed to see through his mind, he laughed: "It's no wonder, I just got the news. It's not that I have such great ability to kill the Xiongnu Shanyu easily, but I just got the news. It was the Xiongnu civil strife... Qiang Canal's subordinate Zhong Ping killed Qiang Canal, and an important person is now in my control area... I just reported this news to me on the prefect of Shangjun."

I see! Cao Cao suddenly realized that the Xiongnu's abnormal attack was caused by civil strife... The Huns are very stupid and simple. Do you want to use this simple threat to tell the Central Plains regime not to interfere? How simple!

Luochen laughed, of course, there is also a catalyst in Luochen... Luochen hinted in the letter that the Central Plains army might want to go north to the grasslands to let them taste the power. In panic, the Huns responded with this extreme method....

Chapter 57: The Huns Over the Past Years

I'm sorry, in Chapter 55, Xu You was written as Zhang Song by ghosts and spirits, and it was Xu You who warned Zhang He, not Zhang Song. Perhaps the two have too much in common... They were both important advisers who took the initiative to join other masters, and died soon after they made great achievements. We continued last time.

The governor of Shuofang County, Wang Shuo, has been a little depressed recently. This person is an honest person, a native of the Central Plains, his ancestor was a rich man in Chang'an, and was moved to Shuofang by Emperor Wu. At that time, Emperor Wu attacked the tyrannical powers and needed to consolidate the frontier defense, so he built Shuofang into an important military fortress, and a large number of people migrated. By the time of Wang Shuo's generation, his family life had fallen, and he lived a life of farming and study. Because of his filial piety, he was finally named Xiaolian at the age of thirty. At that time, there was great chaos in the country, and the Huns were rampant in such a far place as Shuofang. Dong Zhuo and Xiliang troops entered Luoyang, and soon the Guandong princes organized a powerful coalition, and the two sides were torn apart in the Central Plains. Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an in order to avoid the sharp edge of the Kwantung Army, and soon a man named Luo Chen began to talk about it. Sure enough, the Chang'an coup d'état, Li Jue and Guo Si's rebellion, in just half a month, Chang'an was surging, and all kinds of forces fought each other. During this period, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Li Jue, Guo Si and other bigwigs were all finished. Finally, when Emperor Xian of Han announced that the mysterious Luo Chen was the prime minister, people discovered that Luo Chen was less than twenty years old.

During the turmoil, the northern counties such as Shuofang were almost in a state of autonomy, and the Huns often came to rob things. It was at this time that Wang Shuo was selected to serve as the counselor of Shuofang County, in charge of army logistics and official management. At that time, the army was chaotic, with separate administrations, and there was no funding, and salaries were sometimes given and not given. Wang Shuo has been working diligently for many years. Since Emperor Wu, the Xiongnu regime has been repeatedly attacked by the Han Dynasty, its strength is weak, the control of the central government is not strong, and the tribe has a tendency to split between the left and the right. Therefore, although the Central Plains regime was unable to take into account the important northern towns, the Huns did not take advantage of the weakness to enter and establish their rule, and the Han regime was barely maintained.

Qiang Qu Shan is a relatively strong Shan Yu. There is a great potential to revive the glory of the Xiongnu, and it has run the central rule, which often means swept away. It was only when Chanyu of Qiangqu formed the most powerful tribe and team on his steppe, and gradually ordered the Xiongnu tribes, Cao Cao and Luochen's Tongguan battle was over, and the Luochen regime in the west sent Ma Teng to be stationed in Shicheng to block The Qiang people advanced eastward, and at the same time their strength could also extend northward, to deter the Xiongnu. Although Ma Teng's power was insufficient at that time and his influence was weak, he still had a certain effect. Qiangqu had no intention of fighting Luochen, so it was just harassment, and did not aggressively attack Shuofang, Shangjun in the Great Wall and other places. Cao Cao was even more powerful, and he dispatched Xiahou Dun north to Jinglueyunzhong, Jiuyuan and other places. Due to the war with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao took a step back and provided border exchanges every year, and gave hundreds of thousands of silver coins each year to "pacify ~ 〃". Yuan Shao of Hebei was not a good man either. He controlled Liaodong with a strong force, and Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, was forced to declare himself a vassal to Yuan Shao. As for Yanmen, Daijun, Shanggu and other places in the north, Yuan Shao had heavy troops stationed there. After the war between Cao and Yuan, Cao Cao partially took over Yuan Shao's important military towns in the north, and some are still in the hands of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

After Luochen's fight against Cao Cao, he finally had the energy to pay attention to the north. Among the three forces in the north, Luochen's frontier was the most serious, because Luochen's frontier army was not many, not very strong, and there were huge omissions. Luochen dispatched Xu Shu to inspect the northern counties. After Xu Shu arrived at Shuofang, the governor of Shuofang was newly killed, and there was no new governor from the central government, so Wang Shuo was immediately promoted to the governor of Shuofang. Wang Shuo finally went from Xiaolian to the pinnacle of his life as a local dignitary. Xu Shu patrolled in the north, negotiated difficultly with the Xiongnu, imitated Cao Cao to open up the border exchange, and paid pacification fees.

In fact, this border trade is unfair. It was the Huns who held the main pricing power. Cattle and sheep are not necessities of the Han people, but many handicrafts and daily necessities produced by the Han people are indeed necessary for the Huns, and the Huns cannot make them. Border trade is somewhat coercive, mainly to appease the Huns.

This Wang Shuo is also diligent and conscientious. So far, Shuo Fang has not had any major troubles. Unexpectedly, a general was parachuted from the central government not long ago, and when he arrived in Shuofang County, he said nothing, took out Luochen's personal appointment letter, and announced that he was the new Shuofang prefect. Wang Shuo was suddenly stupid. He didn't do anything wrong. Didn't he always do it seriously... Soon he received an appointment and removal order approved by Zhuge Liang, the prefect of Guanzhong. It was written in black and white that Chang Yuchun was appointed to replace Wang Shuo. The prefect of Shuofang, ordered Wang Shuo to assist. Wang Shuo's eyes turned black... Now it seems that it is irreversible. This is the first time that Shuo Fang has received an approval from a major leader... Xu Shu previously appointed Wang Shuo as the prefect of Shuo Fang on the spot, because just after the war, the government at all levels of the country was not perfect, and there were no official documents, so Xu Shu was at the deputy military division level. The big leader, saying that he is the prefect, he is the prefect. After Luochen occupied Yizhou, the control area was divided into three, namely Guanzhong, Yizhou and Liangzhou. The prefect of Yizhou was Situ Zhang Juzheng. The area of ​​Guanzhong was huge, including not only the traditional Guanzhong Plain, but also a large area to the west and north of Guanzhong. The military advisor Zhuge Liang served as the prefect of Guanzhong. Zhuge Liang usually served the country and handled the daily affairs of the prime minister's residence. Luochen generally only makes major military and political decisions, and Zhuge Liang carries out specific affairs and personnel appointments and removals. As for Liangzhou, it was a nominal one. Luochen claimed that Liangzhou was his territory. In fact, he had no real control, but Ma Teng was stationed in Shicheng, with about a hundred thousand troops. The prefect of Liangzhou was Ma Teng. In fact, if it is so called, Luochen is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and all the territories of the Han Dynasty are ruled by Emperor Han Xian (good)...

Wang Shuo received the personal approval of the military advisor Zhuge Liang, and had to return to the pre-liberation overnight, and began to decline from the peak of his life. Prepare to help this general honestly, by the way, what is it called Chang Yuchun... I have never heard of it before.

The general was tall and dressed in fine armor. Wang Shuo observed that his armor and helmet were not quite the same as those of the Han Dynasty, but they seemed to be ingeniously designed. "...'Ah! What's your name... Wang... What's your king, Luo Gong and Zhuge Military Adviser explained..." The man named Chang Yuchun swaggered into the hall.

"Wang Shuo." Wang Shuo said quickly.

"Well, yes... read the appointment letter... I am now the prefect of Shuo Fangxin." Chang Yuchun said carelessly.

Wang Shuo made a respectful gesture, in fact, he was a little bit stubborn in his heart. .

Chapter 58 Wang Shuo

It was said that Prefect Wang Shuosuo Fang did a good job, but he was suddenly dismissed. A general named Chang Yuchun was parachuted from the center.

"Okay..." Seeing Wang Shuo being respectful, Chang Yuchun hurriedly returned the salute, "You're welcome..." He couldn't wait to ask, "Do the Huns come often? How many people are there every time? Are there any main troops nearby?"

Wang Shuo scratched his head and was about to give a general answer. Then Chang Yuchun asked again: "How many people are in the Shuofang garrison? How is the training? How many cavalry? Are there any Han troops nearby?"

"There are about 30,000 troops in our army... they are the only fallen army in a radius of dozens of miles. Going hundreds of miles east to Jiuyuan, there is Cao Cao's army there." Wang Shuo replied.

"Oh! There are only so many people!" Chang Yuchun was obviously a little disappointed. But he immediately cheered up again: "What about the cavalry? The cavalry in the north are all very powerful... I watched the Guanzhong cavalry before I came, it was really good! Well-trained, good horses and knives, good riders!" Chang Yuchun was full of heart expect.

"There are...less than 10,000 cavalry..." Wang Shuo said cautiously. Chang Yuchun must be disappointed, because Shuofang's cavalry are few and not elite, and it is not known how much worse than the Guanzhong iron cavalry. But he didn't dare to say it.

"5.93 is less than 10,000 people...it doesn't matter!" Chang Yuchun's mentality is really good. "The cavalry is not too good! So, tomorrow I have to inspect the cavalry! In addition, I have to go to the infantry barracks to see. How is the situation on the Xiongnu side?"

"Yes... the Huns frequently harassed them. There were not many people, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands." Wang Shuo said slowly, thinking that it was over, the army in Shuofang City was still reviewing... It was cold.

"Then why don't you fight!" Chang Yuchun's eyes widened in surprise, "You have nearly 10,000 cavalry, why don't you fight! Damn it!"

"Uh..." Wang Shuo didn't know what to say for a while, "The Huns are too strong in combat... Preserve their strength... Avoid friction, Mr. Xu Shu told us to take a defensive position in the north and learn from Cao Cao..."

"What the hell! You still call it "shou"? Where are you guarding? You are clearly being slaughtered like cowards!" Chang Yuchun looked a little annoyed.

"Yes..." Wang Shuo didn't dare to refute, just said yes.

The next day at the training ground, nearly 10,000 cavalrymen assembled, but many of them did not have horses, but were only named... Due to the shortage of horses, they had not been allocated horses. That's all, Wang Shuo was busy for one afternoon and one night yesterday, working overtime desperately. Because the Shuofang army is a military camp, the soldiers are both fighting and farming, and many sergeants have settled down. In the past, the sergeants were recruited entirely from the surrounding areas of Shuofang. Now, due to the government military system in Guanzhong, about 10,000 people will come here from the mainland to take turns to be stationed here every year. The mainland army is fairly regular, at least equipped with armor and the like...

Chang Yuchun was a little dumbfounded. These cavalrymen were not neatly dressed, their banners were chaotic, and they looked like a mob. It seems that Prime Minister Luo is really too busy with Central Plains affairs, and he doesn't pay attention to the northern border at all! The soldiers carried their guns mechanically, and some also carried assorted weapons. The difference between the shiny saber of the Guanzhong iron cavalry and the sharp cavalry special spear was not so big... Chang Yuchun made a special observation, and the cavalry had almost no stirrups. He finally understood why Shuofang's cavalry did not dare to fight the Huns...

Chang Yuchun mustered up his energy and went to the infantry battalion. The big camp from the mainland was fine. The camp was reasonable and well-prepared. There were people on duty every day, and many people went out to guard the city. It looks similar to the infantry he saw in Guanzhong on the surface, but Chang Yuchun observed that there are too many recruits here, and their training and actual combat capabilities may be insufficient. As for the other camps, they were horrible. The camps were overgrown with weeds and deserted. Some soldiers still didn't live here.

Chang Yuchun did not say a word throughout the review process. Wang Shuo was a little frightened, thinking he was extremely angry, but in fact Chang Yuchun (babf) was a little helpless. "I went out to see the Huns' cavalry in the past few days, and you are my guide." Chang Yuchun said. Seeing that Wang Shuo said that he was cold, doing such a dangerous thing, it is very likely that he will meet the captured Xiongnu cavalry... I just wanted to advise, but I thought it was better not to be boring. Nai opened his mouth and said, "Yes... ok."

Chang Yuchun inspected the periphery for a few days, and many times he was almost discovered by a small group of Huns. Wang Shuo kept reminding him to pay attention to safety, and Chang Yuchun mostly laughed.

Sure enough, so many times how can you escape again and again. Chang Yuchun traveled northward for about ten miles, and inquired many places, and determined that there were the main activities of the Huns in Shuofang by several hundred miles, but near the oasis called Dazatin. Chang Yuchun was overjoyed and danced for a while, forgetting to be on guard. It was seen by a Huns cavalry detachment in the distance. The cavalry detachment rushed over immediately. Wang Shuo was startled and hurriedly called out, "Hurry up and run! General Chang!" After speaking, he was about to run. But when he looked back, he saw that Chang Yuchun was laughing, not nervous at all, but meant to meet him. This guy really doesn't know how awesome it is! Wang Shuo had no choice but to shout again: "General Chang! The Huns are extremely accurate at shooting arrows, it's too late to run!"

Unexpectedly, Chang Yuchun quickly mounted his horse, drew his bow and rushed towards the Huns! The Huns obviously had not seen this battle either. When the Han people saw them screaming and rushing towards them, most of them fled, and then they shot and killed them calmly in the back. Unexpectedly, this guy rushed over. The Xiongnu soldiers fired arrows in a panic, but Chang Yuchun easily escaped. That Chang Yuchun let go of the reins with his right hand, took the arrow, and the horse galloped fast, but Chang Yuchun seemed to be on the flat ground without any bumps. That Chang Yuchun flashed an arrow from the side, and fired back, "Whoosh", a Xiongnu soldier fell to the ground and died. That Chang Yuchun didn't shoot anymore, and drew his sword directly. The Huns saw that he was coming fiercely, and hurriedly held a machete to prepare to fight, how could it be Chang Yuchun's opponent! Chang Yuchun raised his sword and fell, and the two Xiongnu soldiers fell off their horses, one was stabbed in the chest, and the other fell to the ground. There was only one soldier left, and when he saw something bad, he was about to run away. Chang Yuchun's flying horse caught up, and the ape arm grabbed the Xiongnu soldier's collar, dragged him off the horse, and threw him to the ground, knocking him half to death.

Wang Shuo was frightened when he saw that Chang Yuchun killed all the Huns in one go in one go. How did this guy come to be the prefect! Isn't he a general like Lu Bu in rumors? He had only seen such a general in the Central Plains once, when Xiahou Dun attacked the Xiongnu in the north and went west all the way to Shuofang. Then Xiahou Dun seemed to be blind in one eye and was very fierce. Seeing the Xiongnu soldiers was like cutting vegetables. For a time, the Huns were dismayed when they heard the wind, and Xiahou Dun led Cao's army to restore Jiuyuan and Yunzhong counties. .

Chapter 59 Chang Yuchun

However, Chang Yuchun easily killed three Xiongnu soldiers and captured one. Wang Shuo was stunned when he saw it, but he bowed and said: "The general is really a brave man! Shuofang has a general, so why worry about the borders!" Chang Yuchun laughed and didn't answer, just jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to grab the Xiongnu. The man mentioned his side and sat down on the grass.

The Xiongnu was hit hard, his body was paralyzed, he vomited, and he looked very weak. It is estimated that the internal organs have been strongly impacted, and the bones are not broken. "Which major unit does your squad belong to!" Chang Yuchun asked. The Huns were so human, they rolled their eyes and didn't answer. That Wang Shuo understood the language of the Xiongnu, and was busy translating, but the Xiongnu still did not move.

"General, I'm afraid this person fell hard and won't be able to recover for a while." Wang Shuo said.

Chang Yuchun waved his hand impatiently, got up and walked around, looking into the distance again, and sat down again after a while, obviously he wanted to wait for the Huns to come over, but he was very impatient. Wang Shuo sat silently on the side, and seeing that the Huns were a little better, he stepped forward and offered him some water. Wang Shuo felt more and more mysterious when he saw Chang Yuchun. He still knows about the tiger generals in the Luochen army. After all, he is also the prefect. He is a member of the Luochen group. Although he is far from the central government... What are the famous tiger generals like Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Xiahouyuan, etc., and another The very good general is called Xu Da, but he has never heard of Chang Yuchun. It seems that this person was created out of thin air, and this person is so powerful that he is clearly fighting a war and has no interest in other things. He is incompetent. the prefect. No, he has been the prefect for so many days. Every day he inspects the movements of the Xiongnu and trains troops. As for Shuofang's financial income, how many people he has, and so on, he doesn't ask any questions, and everything is left to Wang Shuo. As for the officials below, except for Wang Shuo and a few lower-level officers, he also didn't see a single one. The officials at the bottom thought it was a rumor that Shuo Fang had replaced the prefect. After thinking about it, Wang Shuo gradually had an idea in his heart. Could it be that... Prime Minister Luo Chen sent this person to prepare to use troops against the Xiongnu... So he was temporarily placed in the position of the prefect? Then, this person may be a general or something in the future...

The more Wang Shuo thought about it, the more rational and happier he became. In this way, Chang Yuchun will not occupy the position of the prefect, and sooner or later he will be transferred to the army general, then he will still be the prefect. In addition, I also had the opportunity to get to know this army general...

"Come here to translate!" Chang Yuchun shouted loudly, making Wang Shuo shudder. At first glance, the Xiongnu soldiers had almost recovered, and were shivering and waiting for Chang Yuchun to ask questions. The Xiongnu soldier had a look of extreme fear in his eyes. It is no wonder that Chang Yuchun was simply too fierce. He killed several powerful Xiongnu soldiers in minutes without blinking an eye. If he hadn't rushed a little slower, he would have died.

"Which army do you belong to!" Chang Yuchun asked. Wang Shuo is busy translating.

The Xiongnu soldier was trembling all over, apparently feeling that it would be wise to answer honestly, and replied, "The tribe of General Zhongping..."

"Zhongping is nearby?" Chang Yuchun was overjoyed and grabbed the Huns with greed in his eyes. It was as if the wolf had smelled the scent of its prey.

The Huns were very frightened and shivered: "No... No, it's his younger brother Zhong Ting... General Zhong Ting's cavalry was nearby, and he sent a small team of us to visit..."

"That's it..." Chang Yuchun looked a little disappointed. But Wang Shuo was secretly relieved. That Zhongping is a fierce general. He once fought with Xiahou Dun, and they were evenly matched. After Xiahou Dun was ordered to go out of the desert to the front line in Hebei, there was no other general who could match Zhongping in the grasslands. Cao Cao was in the war with Yuan Shao at the time, so he had no time to take care of it, and was forced to make some concessions, such as opening up border trade. Luochen also followed the gourd and painted the scoop, and implemented a lot of concession policies in exchange for peace in the general direction of the north. That Qiang Qu knew about Zhong Ping's ability and often reused it to eliminate dissidents. But for him, Qiang Qu was actually prepared. The Qiang Canal was originally Shan Yu in name and had little actual power. In these years of wars in the south and the north, he finally forced many people to become ministers, but it also caused resentment from many people. Many families were destroyed, the tribes were divided up, and they were forced to hold a small official position beside the Qiang Canal. Although they were respectful on the surface, they actually wanted to overthrow the Qiang Canal all the time. This Qiang Canal also understands in his heart, so he is always on guard. This Zhongping also happened to be a tribal leader, and was forced to surrender by Qiang Canal's powerful force. The Qiang Canal is always on guard, but because Zhongping's ability is too strong, he often has to reuse it. After coming and going, Qiangqu already has a heavy army, and his tribe has grown up secretly, quietly forming a large number of powerful troops. On the surface, however, it seems very submissive.

·0 for flowers

Either way, it's okay... such a ruthless character, Yama... It's better to meet less. Wang Shuo said in his heart.

"Where is Zhong Ting's army stationed?" Chang Yuchun seemed to be unable to contain his excitement.

.....00

"In...the place in the Dazatin Oasis..." The Huns showed fear. Could it be that this King of Hell was going to attack the Huns' camp. So he hurriedly added: "They have 100,000 people."

Wang Shuo was relieved when he heard it. Originally, when Chang Yuchun looked like this, he wanted to take people to sneak attack. But don't Mr. Xu Shu and the military advisor Zhuge both want to defend the north, and this must have been approved by Prime Minister Luo Chen. This Chang Yuchun is going to cause trouble, and Shuo Fang's troops still want to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu... Well now, the Huns are not only strong, but also have 100,000 people, all of whom are cavalry, far exceeding the strength of Shuofang.
