Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

What Chen Yang said was to convince Guo Jia and the others, because they had no other way.

Rather than sticking to Chang'an City, it is better to let Chen Yang go out and give it a go. If he succeeds, he can hold Chang'an without any support, and even defeat Ma Teng and others.

If it fails, the result will be similar to the failure of sticking to Chang'an.

In addition, it is impossible for Xu Du to give them support, and even Cao Pi and others are too busy to take care of themselves and are in a hurry.

The second day after the defense of the city.

Chen Yang took 3000 people around him and left Chang'an. Except for Dian Wei who stayed behind to help Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu followed.

After leaving Chang'an, after walking for several days, Chen Yang and the others finally arrived at the Hetao area, which is the territory of the Southern Huns and where various tribes are distributed.

"General, there are no enemies around." Cao Fan ran back and said, he had become a scout beside Chen Yang.

At this time, Chen Yang was stationed on a soil slope, surrounded by vast plains, stretching as far as the eye can see.

They walked out of the Loess Plateau, and if they went further, they would be Shuofang, the stronghold where Wei Qing once fought against the Huns.

"General, about 400 miles to the west, we found a tribe of Huns. There are more than 500 people in it, and more than [-] horses. Do you want to snatch it?"

Xia Houheng trotted back all the way, and said excitedly.

Leaving Chang'an, came to the land of the Huns, and became a robber to rob the Huns.

Just thinking of this, Xia Houheng felt inexplicably excited. The Huns had always robbed them of the things of the Han people, and now they can finally turn them around, so how can they not be excited?

If you want to imitate Huo Qubing's method to deal with the Huns, you must only have infantry, because the infantry is not flexible enough in combat, and once chased by the enemy, they will not escape quickly, and they will die in vain in the end.

What Chen Yang needed were cavalry. The people Huo Qubing brought back were also cavalry, so they had to have a large number of horses. Chang'an can now gather less than a thousand horses, and most of them were eliminated.

For this expedition, what Chen Yang had to do was to snatch the horses of the Huns.

Chen Yang thought for a while, and asked, "How much food do we still have?"

The person in charge of their logistics was Sun Shangxiang, she said, "Less than three days."

"How many sheep are there in that tribe?" Chen Yang asked again.

"I don't have a detailed count, but I estimate there are more than 300 heads. What do you think, the general?" Xia Houheng said eagerly.

"Robbed!"

Chen Yang sent the order down and said, "Take a rest for the afternoon, and I will take you to eat meat in the evening."

Most of their military rations in the barracks were millet porridge. They couldn’t cook here, so they brought all kinds of steamed cakes and dry food.

After being out for such a long time, the cake was either as hard as a rock or rancid, but that's how it was during the march, no matter how unpalatable it was, you had to eat it.

The soldiers suddenly cheered when they heard that they could eat meat tonight.

Soon at night, Chen Yang gathered all the soldiers, and Xia Houheng led the way. A group of people rushed to the vicinity of the tribe in a mighty manner. They also hid behind a slope, and then the night covered their figures.

Looking down, Chen Yang saw that the tribe was lit up, and the scale was not too large, but there were more than 500 war horses, which should be the place where the Huns trained war horses.

Chen Yang looked carefully for a while, and found that besides ordinary people, there were some soldiers guarding nearby, and he guessed correctly.

"General, how do we fight?" Cao Fu asked.

Chen Yang thought for a moment, and said, "Of course I'm going in. Xiangxiang and you are all set up nearby. You can't let the people in the tribe escape in the chaos."

He did this because he didn't want them to take risks, and by the way, he could stop those who wanted to inform other tribes.

Following Chen Yang's order, all the soldiers emerged together and rushed directly to the tribe below.

The crossbowmen rushed to the front, and they moved swiftly. In the blink of an eye, they fired a volley of crossbow arrows, shooting and killing more than a dozen Hun soldiers defending outside.

Seeing an enemy appear, the remaining Hun soldiers panicked and shouted in Hun language that Chen Yang and the others could not understand, and then a large group of people rushed out from the tribe.

Chen Yang's attack came very suddenly. The enemy was unprepared. As soon as he appeared, he collided with the crossbow and fell directly.

When the equipped crossbow bolts are used up, the crossbowmen continue to change and shoot in turn.

Chen Yang led the soldiers and rushed in from the other side.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun took the lead, violently smashing through their defenses.

Chen Yang and others followed behind, starting the first massacre of their robber career.

Half an hour later, all the Huns who could resist were killed, leaving some old, weak, women, children and children.

Chen Yang didn't let them continue to do it. Even if he wanted to be a robber, he wasn't the kind of cruel and innocent person who could let them go as much as possible without killing them.

"Grab the horse and kill the sheep!"

Chen Yang said loudly.

He found that he had the potential to be a robber. The first time he came out to rob things, he only injured a few people. If no one was killed, he could take down the tribe.

His soldiers ordered and prohibited, even in this situation, there was no chaos at all. Those who snatched horses went to snatch horses, and those who killed sheep killed sheep, and there would be no disputes.

This is the real soldier.

Lu Lingqi controlled the remaining people who had no combat effectiveness, making it even less likely for them to resist.

"Are you Han people?" An old Hun who could speak Chinese suddenly said.

Because Chen Yang spoke Chinese, and his clothes were different from those of the Huns, especially in terms of appearance, it was easy to tell them apart.

The official language of the Han Dynasty was Luoyang Yayan, also known as Luoyang Yayin.

"That's right, unexpected?" Chen Yang smiled.

They really didn't expect that this place is close to Shuofang and far away from Chang'an, and there are still Han people who can go deep here?

In the past, it was basically the Huns who attacked the big Han. Except for Wei Qinghuo Qubing during Emperor Wu's period, and Chen Tang later, few others had this ability.

Especially during the period of Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and attacked their five major tribes, but they almost forgot about that period of history.

The old man didn't expect that there would be people in a big man who would dare to emulate Huo Qubing back then.

"Why do you want to plunder our things?" The old man felt very distressed when he saw his sheep being killed head by head.

If all the sheep are gone, they will have no food for the winter, and they can only die of starvation and cold in the end.

"Old man, don't you think your words are funny?"

Seeing his surprised expression, Chen Yang simply sat aside and said to him, "Then why do you Huns come to attack our big man?"

This rhetorical question really confused the old man. He thought in his heart, isn't this a matter of course?

They have never had a reason to plunder big men, they just do what they want, how can they think so much?
