Chapter 445 Internal Relation

At this moment Zhuge Liang asked: "Where is this place? What tribe are you from?"

"Reporting to my lord, our tribe outside Barkol here is called Uha, and the villain has also inherited the name of Uha."

The tribe leader told the news he knew as soon as possible. After all, on the grassland at this time, a war would break out between the Xiongnu and Beiliang at any time. For these small tribes, the two of them could rub each other casually, and then their tribe would be gone. !

"This is Barkol Lake. It seems to be one of the few strongholds in Beiliang here! We were a bit cheated on the snowy day. We have to go south!" Zhuge Liang turned to Huo Qubing and said, of course Xiang Ceyu who was beside him also heard it.

For Xiang Ceyu, it was normal for his path to go astray in the snowy weather, and he didn't suspect anything.

But Xiang Ceyu looked at Zi Wuzui, frowned and said, "How is your relationship with Beiliang? Can you borrow some horse feed from them, or can we get enough supplies at the next supply point?"

To be honest, the food for people is enough, but the food for horses is a bit stretched.

After all, even when marching, horses need to eat some refined food. If they just eat grass, the scale will fall off a lot, not to mention it is snowy now. Where can we get so much grass for the horses to eat? !

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "You can go to Beiliang for supplies. Duan Jiong, who is stationed at Barkol Lake, is a truly top commander, and the soldiers under his command are also elite at the level of the Imperial Guard, and their attack power is not inferior to that of the three talents. , even though the Xiongnu’s fierce Zhelan Cavalry has not captured Barkol Lake so far, it’s obvious that the Rui Shi are capable!”

"If General Duan is at Barkol Lake, we can borrow food there." Hua Mulan said, "But General Duan is very wary, so I should inform General Duan first."

"Okay!" Huo Qubing nodded. Since he is not a foreigner, it would be better to say hello first.

This army is basically made up of young people, the eldest is the veteran Cheng Jin, the older ones are like Xiang Ceyu, Tan Daoji is only in his early twenties, and the younger ones like Xin Qiji are only sixteen or seventeen.

Moreover, Qi Jiguang, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng are all the best among their peers. As for Zhuge Liang, Xiang Ceyu, and Huo Qubing, they are basically equivalent to the strongest among their peers, so even if they are arrogant, they are still the best among their peers. Everyone knows about convergence.

Even Tan Daoji, Qi Jiguang and others did not express any opinions on the matter of Huo Qubing temporarily taking over as the leader of the three armies. Although Huo Qubing still has many shortcomings, Zhuge Liang is checking and filling in the gaps, so there will naturally be no problems.

Another example is Xiang Ceyu, and even his subordinates Taishi Ci and Yu Ziqi, who were all defeated by Huo Qubing in the Battle of Wuguan. Therefore, although Huo Qubing was said to be young and weak, no one objected.

Of course, there are some people in this group who are more popular, such as Qi Jiguang, who is humble. Qi Jiguang's original Yuanyang Formation made everyone shine. He knows that he has many shortcomings, so he has been working hard to strengthen himself, or to improve himself. The generals asked for advice, either to learn the art of war, or to train their soldiers, and they worked very hard.

For example, Sun Lingming, Yang Jian, and Xiang Ceyu competed with each other in martial arts without resorting to extraordinary means, and the three of them improved in martial arts.

Counting some guys, such as Cheng Jin and Lu Meng, who didn't want to come to the Western Regions at all, this army of 30,000 people was actually quite chaotic internally. Fortunately, all parties knew that this would be the case early on, so the leaders He is a person who has far-sightedness and will not let the army fall apart.

For Huo Qubing, he went to Duan Ji's residence purely to borrow food.

If the Hu tribe could at most just use tough tactics, and if the other party didn't resist, they would just take some horse materials and supplies and leave. But since the people of Beiliang are from Beiliang, they naturally can't use tough tactics.

But this is not the case for Duan Jiong. A very important point for them to be stationed at Barkol Lake is to serve as an outpost.

Because there are Duan Jun Rui soldiers stationed near Barkol Lake, and Duan Jun's Rui soldiers are also the top elites in Beiliang, with a full imperial guard army of 3,000 people! Among them, there are more than 1,500 sharp warriors with more than 17 kills who are comparable to those with three talents!

There is also a fierce general from Beiliang, Li Guang, who is stationed here with a 3,000-man Longxi cavalry force. After all, Duan Jiong is not young, and Li Guang is also a strong general who can help Duan Jiong share the pressure.

This army was stationed here so that when the Xiongnu sent a large army to attack Beiliang Mansion, they could report back to their country in time if they were besieged by military spirits.

Therefore, this army was naturally attentive and vigilant at all times. It immediately discovered that an army of 30,000 people with extraordinary momentum was coming towards Barkol Lake, and they were coming in the wind and snow.

Duan Juan immediately became more vigilant after receiving the scout's report. As for Duan Juan who came to borrow food or something, he had no such concept in his mind. You must know that this was in the wind and snow, and as a result, an army came all the way to borrow food. Who in the right mind would believe this kind of thing!

Obviously, Duan Yan made the judgment right away that the other party was definitely coming to kill his elite Huns.

Except for the elite, no one can march in such a windy and snowy day. Except for the elite, it is impossible for anyone to be so evil and murderous. From a distance, people can feel the soul-stirring murderous intent.

So Duan Juan immediately released his trust eagle to warn Beiliang Mansion.

This trust eagle was cultivated by Duan Yan with great difficulty. It has the strength of a tiger. If nothing goes wrong, he will release the second trust eagle within two days to disarm the alarm. But if he does not release the second trust eagle, then he will blame himself. died!

Therefore, after releasing the first letter eagle, Duan Yan immediately brought his troops. Based on his understanding of the vicinity of Barkol Lake, he found a slightly higher soil slope and looked at the 30,000 Han troops.

Fortunately, Hua Mulan and other members of the Northern Liang army were there, and Duan Qi, Duan Qi's nephew, was under Hua Mulan's command. With Duan Qi coming forward, Duan Qi naturally knew that they were friends, not enemies.

After getting Xu Yourong's letter, Duan Jiong did not make things difficult for everyone, but the horse food for the 30,000-strong army was obviously not what Duan Jiong could afford.

"I can't afford your 30,000 yuan." Duan Qiao touched his pale beard and said, "You can borrow food from those alien races. Naturally, it is best for them to understand each other. If they don't understand each other, they will be destroyed! Or are you saying that the power of your 30,000-strong army is just to scare people?"

Duan Yan has a sharp vision and is also a famous general. How could he not see the strength of this 30,000-strong army, especially the leading Yulin Army, which is faintly more powerful than the Flying Bear Army, the military soul of Beiliang, the Liaoyuan Fengqi, the Jiangdong disciples, and the Qi Family Army. , Beifu Army and other powerful armies are also above the level of the Imperial Guard.

This 30,000-strong army can turn the tide of the battle even in a battle involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How could Duan Jiong not want to take advantage of his old skills?

"Who are you trying to scare, are you?!" Hearing Duan Jiong's disdain, Huo Qubing could certainly tell. He also knew that Duan Jiong was using a borrowed knife to kill people, but the Han army also needed to establish its authority when they came out of the Western Regions, so they could attack foreigners.

Huo Qubing said solemnly, "I'll show you, our Yulin Army's land in the Western Region belongs to dad!"

"That's best!" Duan Jiong said without hesitation, "Then we go to that alien tribe to borrow food!"

After both parties made a decision, they decisively chose to go deeper and borrow food from the Turks who were also stationed at Lake Barkol.

To be honest, neither side paid attention to the opinions of the Turks, no, not even the Huns, even though they knew that the other side was likely to be a tough army.

Because China has been fighting against foreigners for hundreds of years, Huo Qubing, Xiang Ceyu, and Duan Jiao are all arrogant and arrogant.

The mere foreigners asked him to borrow food to give him face. Neither Huo Qubing nor Xiang Ceyu had any intention of borrowing food here.

So if they don't borrow food, then they can only let them go. As for whether doing this will cause any psychological burden, then you have too high a view on the upper limit of the moral character of the commanders of the two armies.

Whether it was Duan Yan or Huo Qubing, who in history did not kill the barbarians to death.
