Chapter 441
After Liu Jun and Fa Zheng led an army of 10,000 to leave Luoyang, they walked for twenty days to reach Beidi County.
Wang Ping led all the soldiers to greet him five miles outside the city, and when the army reached the city, the people cheered.
The Xiongnu 100,000 iron horses, they have rarely experienced, the people of Guanzhong and Luoyang also felt panic after hearing this news, not to mention the Beidi County, some large families have begun to prepare to evacuate.
The soldiers of the Xiongnu were simply like beasts, and after they broke through the city, they would not make any sense, killing men when they saw them, robbing women when they saw them, and they were extremely cruel.
Although the Han army was stationed in Beidi County, and some soldiers and horses were recruited a few years ago, now there are 50,000, but it is not the opponent of the Xiongnu's 100,000 iron horses!
Fortunately, the commander Wang Ping released the news that the Han king Liu Jun was going to lead an army in time, and the people gradually stabilized. Today, I finally saw the King of Han and the army of the King of Han, and everyone was finally relieved.
The king of Han had long been famous, never defeated in war, and focused on farming and commerce, so that the people could now be fed and gradually prosperous.
After entering the city, Wang Ping set up a banquet, and all the soldiers and officials of Beidi County toasted Liu Jun one by one.
Beidi Taishou was Huangfu Hong, the son of Huangfu Song, a former hussar general of the Great Han Dynasty, who had governed Beidi County very well under Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was destroyed, Beidi County became a Sanjian region, but Huangfuhong still handled internal affairs and civilized the people here. After Liu Jun captured Liangzhou, Huangfuhong remained in office.
The government affairs of Beidi County were naturally continued to be managed by Huangfuhong, and Liu Jun, as a clan relative of the Han family, rewarded him as the king of the Han Dynasty, and affirmed and appreciated the achievements of his father Huangfusong, which made Huangfuhong very grateful.
The next day, Liu Jun summoned Wang Ping, Fa Zheng, Zhang Xiu and other generals to the study of Taishou Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Zijun, where are Liu Bao's soldiers and horses gathered now?" Liu asked Wang Ping.
"Back to the Lord Lord, the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Xiongnu have gathered outside Tongwan City."
"Tongwan City?" Liu Jian frowned, "They have already passed the Yin Mountain!"
"The Xiongnu army was here when it was assembled, Tongwancheng used to be the court of the Xiongnu king, and during the Wudi period, the hussar general Huo Qubing drove the Xiongnu all the way to Mobei, and Tongwancheng was gradually ruined. However, a few years ago, Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, began to renovate the city of Wan, and now it is the royal court of the Xiongnu.
"Since he has already passed the Yin Mountain, this Liu Leopard seems to be waiting for this king!" A smile appeared on Liu Jun's face.
"Lord, the last general didn't quite understand, I thought that he would have already started to attack, but I didn't expect that until now he still didn't move." Wang Ping said.
"Lord, this Liu Leopard is too conceited, he didn't put our Han army in his eyes at all, he was just waiting for news from the Xianbei Qiang side. In his opinion, as long as he gave an order, the iron horse would kill Chang'an, and no one could stop him. And he has to wait for Xiqiang and Xianbei to attack and scatter the pass and take the entire Guanzhong Dao! Fa Zheng said with a smile.
"His dreams are so beautiful!"
"Ha..." everyone laughed.
"However, these 100,000 iron horses cannot be ignored, we must go all out, and we must not be careless!" Liu Jian immediately reminded.
"Lord Wise!"
"Zijun, how did you arm the defense?"
Wang Ping took out a map and spread it on the desk.
"Lord, there are more than a dozen county towns in Beidi County, we don't have many soldiers and horses, we can't defend them one by one, of course, the Xiongnu iron horses will not attack one by one, their purpose is to go south to Chang'an. The seat of Beidi County, which is where we are now called Maling County, in the southwest of Maling County, there is Yiqu County, and in the southeast of Maling County, there is a Fuping County, these three counties are horns of each other and can respond to each other. The last general sent Hao Zhao and Su Ze to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yiqu, and Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Fuping.
After listening to Wang Ping's introduction, a smile appeared on Liu Ping's face, and Fa Zheng nodded approvingly.
"Zijun is really a good general, and he has a lot of rules in defending the city, so even if Liu Ao has 100,000 iron horses, he can't help us for a while." Fazheng said.
"If the last general just held on to the city, he could still fight Liu Bao, but if he wanted to really stop them, or annihilate them, he would be powerless. Now that the lord has led the army, the last general is relieved. "
Wang Ping's previous worry was not that Liu Bao led his army to attack the city, and his defense was not afraid of the other party attacking the city. However, if Liu Bao only left some soldiers and horses to contain them, and the rest of the army went south, Wang Ping felt that there was no way. After all, the other party is all cavalry, and it is impossible to block it with infantry, and it is impossible to catch up if you want to chase.
"Can filial piety have a way to break the enemy?" For more than twenty days along the way, Liu believed that Fa Zheng had been thinking about this problem.
"Lord, my subordinates think that after Liu Bao's army arrives in Beidi County, he will not rush south, and he wants to annihilate us, so that he can have no worries. At the same time, the Lord himself arrived here, and he wanted to fight with us even more. The lord's prestige is far away, and Liu Bao naturally wants to use the lord's prestige to play his majesty. In this way, we will have an opportunity. Fa Zheng spoke eloquently, "But if you want to defend the city, the cavalry can't play a role, General Zhang Xiu, known as the Northland Spear King, is familiar with this place, his five thousand cavalry outside the city, can play an unexpected effect!"
"Lord, these more than a dozen counties in the Northland, the last general is very familiar, and where is suitable for cavalry combat, where is suitable for ambush, the last general also knows very well." After listening to Fa Zheng's words, Zhang Xiu was very excited, "The last general is willing to lead the cavalry to station in Liucheng, and then look for fighters.
"Okay, you bring enough food and grass, armor, equipment, one man and two horses, and temporarily stationed in Liucheng. After all, your soldiers and horses are too few, don't fight a large-scale battle, but you must make Liu Leopard not safe! If there are other orders, the Skynet Camp will be asked to pass the book on flying pigeons! "
No!"
"Repay the lord, Huang Fu is too shou to see you!" At this time, Shi Ah came in and said.
"Let Huangfuhong come in!"
"No!" Soon, Huangpuhong entered the study with a letter of information in his hand.
"See the Lord!"
"Jianshou, don't be rude!"
"Lord Xie, I just received a letter from General Li Yan and the flying pigeon of the Zhuge Army, please ask the Lord to take a look." Huangfuhong handed the information to Liu Jun.
"Li Yan and Zhuge Liang's letter!" Liu Jian felt a little surprised, the affairs around Jincheng had all been handed over to the two of them to handle, what else did he need to personally decide?
Liu Jian took the letter, opened it, read it carefully, and immediately showed a smile on his face.
"Good, good! Hah..."
