Chapter 336

Of course, the Southern Huns are not just wandering around. Even if they are guest troops, they have no other place to stay without Yuan Shao at this stage.

Liu Bei was originally a good choice, but the problem was that his behavior towards the Southern Huns was unbearable even to the pro-Han faction like Yu Fulo, let alone the neutral faction like Hu Chuquan.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao still had a backup plan, but he only had one request, that is, this summer, he must take a good walk with the enemy.

In the middle of summer, I don’t know how many people suffered from heat stroke.

The place had to be robbed, after all, wealthy families usually had ice cellars.

At the same time, we should also look for carts and other things to carry the soldiers who suffered from heat stroke.

He added a few carts of supplies outside, trying not to let the enemy see the clues, and went all the way to Pingyuan County, but Yuvrault couldn't hold on any longer.

Fortunately, the summer solstice has passed a few days ago, and Huchuquan felt that he was worthy of Yuan Shao.

"Next, just leave it to us!" Opposite Huchuquan, the general who responded to them nodded.

I didn't want to come, after all, it's rare to have a peaceful year.

Everyone is recuperating and thinking about doing something serious next year.

The main reason is that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao are fighting so happily, so let them continue fighting!
Even if Liu Bei conquers Jizhou, it will only happen after autumn. This year's autumn harvest cannot be guaranteed, and supplies will have to be transported from Guanzhong to make up for the local losses.

Even Lu Bu, who apparently parted ways with Yuan Shao, actually acted on Chen Gong's suggestion and quickly extended the battle line to bring down Liu Bei through a lot of mess.

Sometimes it's like this, watching the whale swallow the world, but if you are not careful, you will be strangled to death.

For example, Emperor Guangwu seemed to be restoring the Han Dynasty easily, but in fact the aristocratic families were very powerful. Starting from the third emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his life began to be short-lived, and power almost fell into the hands of his relatives.

What is meant by a relative? In the final analysis, they are from a wealthy family and are also the leaders of the ruling party.

Starting from the third emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, life expectancy was generally very short.

But to put it another way, we should not actually look at the emperor, but at the party leader.

How long the emperor can stay in office depends on how long the party leader can be re-elected. When the party leader changes, the emperor will also be changed.

Zhang He once told Liu Bei in private that this was why he opened a library to cultivate talents from poor families and common people.

It can be said that Liu Bei's current talent reserve is sufficient, but the material reserve is troublesome.

Even Zhang He couldn't directly produce the materials, let alone have three heads and six arms to cover everything.

It has to be said that after gathering the wisdom of all Yuan Shao's counselors, he finally came up with this impossible solution.

Anyway, he has no shame and skin, and Yuan Shao doesn't care so much. As long as he can win this battle, he can become emperor!

"Speaking of which, do you two have any plans to be loyal to my Ming Gong?" The general suddenly remembered something and looked at the two of them and asked.

"If Mr. Cao can take over Jizhou, we will also be willing to serve!" Hu Chuquan thought for a while and took the initiative to make a promise.

Yes, the man who contacted Huchuquan was Cao Cao's general.And it's not an outsider, it's Cao Ren.

As early as a month ago, they came quietly and stationed themselves in Pingyuan County.

This was originally Yuan Shao's territory, and the two sides reached an agreement, so naturally there was no commotion.

To put it bluntly, Cao Cao supported the King of Jinan as emperor, and the people he fought were naturally "Han".

So Cao Ren and others came here, not to mention quietly.

Even if they come in an aboveboard manner, to outsiders, they will think it is a normal transfer of Yuan Jun.

"Gather your troops and prepare for battle!" Cao Ren shouted.

Now that the hottest period has passed, the time has gradually entered autumn. Taking advantage of Zhao Yun's arrival, people and horses are exhausted, and he has been stationed here for many days to wait for work. Are he still afraid that he will not be able to defeat the opponent?

Speaking of powerful crossbows, Cao Ren also brought a lot of them this time.Especially the cavalry, which also brought three thousand cavalry.

Thanks to Yuan Shao occupying Jizhou, there is more or less a gap with Youzhou.

Through this crack in the door, Cao Cao was able to buy horses from Wuhuan and Xianbei.

It's a pity that the Xiongnu and Qiang people were blocked by Liu Bei.

It's not that they can't be sold, it's just that Liu Bei gave priority to purchasing the war horses, and the remaining horses were reluctantly used.When Yuan Shao asked for help before, Cao Cao was asking for a lot of money. Finally, he separated the plains and looked north to the two counties of Bohai and Hejian.

Two thousand horses were obtained, all of which were Wuhuan war horses.

At this stage, Cao Cao is willing to help Yuan Shao because of his past friendship and alliance.

Otherwise, he would send his army north and take the opportunity to defeat these three counties, and Yuan Shao would have no choice but to beat his teeth and swallow it.

For Cao Cao, what belongs to others belongs to others, and only when it becomes his own can he feel at ease.

The main reason is that Yuan Shao doesn't live up to expectations. If he continues to become stronger, there will be nothing in the temporary alliance.

Who would have known that he has been passive since the beginning of the war, and now the reputation of the 'Runan Yuan Family' has been completely ruined, letting everyone in the world understand that these two brothers are the same.

Then no one can blame him, our old Cao is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
The army was dispatched early in the morning. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not so hot in the morning, the [-]-strong army swept out.

On the Southern Xiongnu side, they barely scraped together two thousand troops and followed them to the raiding formation.

Cao Ren also expressed his understanding of the Southern Xiongnu's inability to work hard: He has been helping the enemy for so long, how can he expect him to continue to work hard?

After all, Zhao Yun was here for the first time and was already exhausted from the journey. He originally planned to take a good rest today.

Who would have expected that early in the morning, Chen Dao would come over and report: "Report to the general! Thousands of enemy troops suddenly came out of Pingyuan County!"

"Assemble the troops immediately! Tell me what the situation is!" Zhao Yun immediately ordered, and then looked at Chen Dao to ask.

The main force of Yuan's army is in Wei County. This has been confirmed.

When Chen arrived to report, he subconsciously thought that the Southern Huns were about to fight a decisive battle.

But the tone was wrong, it seemed like it was from another army.

"I don't know where an army appeared, about three thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry, gathering near the county gate!" Chen Dao replied.

Thanks to them staying up all night to monitor every move in Pingyuan County, otherwise the other party would have been caught off guard when they came so early in the morning.

Judging from the opponent's formation, they probably started gathering before dawn, just to catch them off guard!
"If I had known earlier, I should have let you go to Kaicheng before." Zhao Yun teased.

This means that it was known that an enemy army was ambushed inside. At that time, the army was exhausted and suddenly rushed into the city, which played into the enemy's hands.

Zhao Yun's advantage is that he has all the cavalry, and his disadvantage is that he has all the cavalry.

The report should be reported. Whether Taishi Ci will increase his troops in the future is another matter.

In this situation, it's bad luck and they have to go back.

"Go down and be ready to retreat at any time!" Zhao Yun shouted.

Even if there was ice water to support us, we would indeed be stranded along the way.

I was still thinking of resting for more than ten days, but unexpectedly the enemy suddenly came to kill me.

We may say that the hottest period of summer has passed, but after all, it is still summer.

It's really too much for the opponent to fight out of season like this.

In fact, the opponent couldn't bear it, but Zhao Yun didn't know that the opponent was playing a relay race.

"So war can be so simple and unpretentious?" Zhao Yun sighed.

Relying on the large territory, two or maybe three groups of troops could defeat them, and then launch a general attack while they were exhausted.

Let alone a great victory now, whether we can go back safely is still questionable.

At the end of summer, Zhao Yun was defeated and the 2000 people returned to Julu County. Many of them became separated along the way, leaving only more than a thousand people.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to join Taishi Ci, Cao Ren withdrew his troops and left.

 It's not that Xia and Dong can't fight. It depends on how they fight. Sometimes a fight out of season can catch the opponent off guard.
