Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 533 Wuhuan Siege
The history of China is actually a history of blood and tears of mutual conquest and integration with foreign races.

Looking at the relationship between countless dynasties and foreign races, when the Central Plains dynasty was weak, the nomads rushed up to take a bite; when the Central Plains dynasty was strong, they fled to the grasslands to the depths of the desert when they were hurt.

Nomads can live in tents and migrate along the grasslands for grazing, without many fixed residences and assets.

However, the Central Plains dynasty was mainly a farming civilization, and land and houses were inherent assets that could not be moved away, so they seemed very passive in the face of nomads.

The nomads could rob the property of the Central Plains dynasty, but even if the Central Plains dynasty defeated the nomads, they could only get a small amount of cattle and sheep at most, because the nomads would flee to the grasslands and deep deserts when they felt that the battle was at a disadvantage.In the vast prairie and desert, they disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered. If they chased after them, they might not be able to find their traces even if they exhausted themselves.

What's even more exasperating is that even if a nomad is wiped out, a new grassland overlord will rise after a while.

The Han and Tang Dynasties fought against the Huns and the Turks for tens of hundreds of years. In the end, the Huns split and lost, and the Eastern Turks perished. The Western Turks and other nomadic peoples respected Li Shimin as the Khan of Heaven.But after the Turks came the Uyghurs, not to mention the Mongols who attacked the European continent later.The general prairie people are like weeds, the wild fires are endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates, and once the stubble is cut off, another stubble will emerge.

Another most important reason is that even if the territory of the nomads is conquered, the Han people will not be able to occupy it for a long time.

Most of the nomadic areas are grasslands and deserts, and the grasslands cannot be cultivated.Migrate the population, the cost is too high. The Central Plains Dynasty once tried to export population to the Western Regions, but in the end it was not particularly successful.

So sometimes it's not that the Central Plains dynasty can't beat the nomads, but that they can't arouse their interest in fighting them at all.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it fell into a long-term melee among the princes, and the vitality of the Han Dynasty was quickly consumed.

Naturally, the grassland people did not want to let go of this opportunity to strengthen themselves, so whether it was the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people, or even the Huns who surrendered to the Han Dynasty, they were also looking for opportunities to get rid of the control of the Han court.

In just over ten years now, the Wuhuan people have become so tyrannical that they can afford 10,000+ cavalry.If they are allowed to continue to develop, maybe one day they can really replace the original Xiongnu and Xianbei and become the new generation of overlords on the grassland.

The powerful Wuhuan cavalry led by Ta Dun could not be dealt with by the current Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan. Their only hope was Cao Cao who came from Yanzhou to support them.

But ten days had passed since the Wuhuan people entered the pass, and there was still no news of Cao Cao's army, which inevitably made Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan very anxious.

Zhang Nan walked back and forth in the hall, anxious in his heart; Jiao Touch sat on the side, drinking glasses of wine, frowning.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of drums outside the city, and then a messenger rushed to report, saying that there was a Wuhuan cavalry fighting under the city.

"Crack!" Ben was upset and his forehead was scorched, and he threw the cup in his hand on the ground, and the cup was instantly torn apart, and the wreckage was scattered all over the ground.

Without saying a word, Jiao Chu got up and wanted to go out of the city to fight that Wuhuan man.But when he got up and was about to leave, Zhang Nan grabbed his arm.

Zhang Nanchao Jiao Touch shook his head, and said: "They came to the city to yell and fight to provoke our army to go out to fight him. The barbarians don't know how to attack the city, why do you care about them?"

"But I can't stand this bird air!"

"How can you become a famous general if you can't stand it? Just bear with it, the prime minister's army will arrive soon."

"Hey! The devil wants to be a famous general, so I just want to kill myself!"

Although Jiao Touch said so, he listened to Zhang Nan's persuasion, sat down again, picked up the wine jar and sipped the wine.

If you can't fight, it's better to be drunk, so you don't have to listen to those dirty words to pollute your ears
But what Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch didn't know was that Cao Cao's cavalry vanguard had actually arrived outside Zhuo County.

At this time, as Cao Cao's unstoppable vanguard general in his expedition, the dragon cavalry battalion led by Zhao Yun had been hiding outside the city for a long time.

Zhao Yun was looking through the binoculars at the Wuhuan people outside the city at the moment, and Xia Houlan beside him asked in a low voice, "How are they? How many people are there?"

After inspecting the Wuhuan army back and forth, Zhao Yun said with a solemn face: "It is estimated that there are about 5 people. And there is a big wolf-headed flag in the middle. It should be an army of a large tribe."

"Then should we wait for the follow-up team? After all, our dragon riding battalion is full, even if it is full, there are only 1 people."

"The Wuhuan people are not good at attacking the city. They just want to provoke the defenders and lead them to fight. As long as the defenders don't come out, the county town should still be safe." Zhao Yun analyzed the Wuhuan people's thoughts, and finally decided: "If they continue If there is a stalemate, then we will wait for the follow-up team; if they dare to attack the city, let them taste the power of our Central Plains cavalry!"

"Hi! I'm the best at stabbing people around the waist!" Xia Houlan grinned, and then said: "I'll arrange for everyone to take turns to take turns to rest. If there is a war later, our spirits will be better."

Zhao Yun agreed: "Very well, you can arrange it!"

Xia Houlan nodded, and then walked towards the hiding place of the team.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were already brothers and sisters, and one of them had been leading the army for nearly ten years, so there was no need for any extra etiquette.

When Xia Houlan had just left, the Wuhuan army suddenly separated.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun raised his binoculars and began to observe carefully.

In the Wuhuan army formation, a man in his early thirties, under the protection of dozens of strong personal guards, slowly walked out of the passage.

The group of them came to a distance of about 130 steps outside the city and stopped, and the guards behind the man shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "Han guards, listen up!

Our leader is one of the three kings who sat down at Tadun Shanyu, Qiao Wang Su Puyan!

My king is kind, as long as property and women!

If you are sensible, open the door and offer the city. If you dare to resist, when we break through the city gate, the city will be bloodbathed, and no one will be left behind! "

"."

After the man shouted triumphantly, he was about to hear the Han people's begging for mercy, but unexpectedly, there was silence on the top of the city, and there was no response at all.

The personal guard couldn't hold back anymore. With an angry expression on his face, he shouted twice, "Surrender quickly, or else"

"."

It was still quiet on the top of the city. It was as if there was a wild dog barking below the city, which couldn't attract anyone's attention at all.
The personal guard was extremely ashamed and angry, and wanted to shout again, but Su Puyan snorted coldly and said, "I don't know how to compliment."

After finishing speaking, Su Puyan turned around and headed towards the Chinese army.

On the way back, Su Puyan ordered in an extremely cold voice: "Siege the city! After the city is broken, you are allowed to slaughter the city for three days!"
