Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

text

On the vast prairie in the north of our country, tough nomads have been living for thousands of years.Nomads grew up on horseback and are naturally excellent cavalry. Adult men can go into battle immediately without training. Therefore, although nomads have a small population, they can often gather hundreds of thousands of powerful cavalry On the vast grasslands, it is almost impossible for farming peoples to compete with them.Facing the attack of nomadic cavalry, farming people often can only take passive defensive measures. In the East, in order to resist the nomadic cavalry, the Chinese people have built the Great Wall across the North since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. In the West, there are similar defense facilities.Nomads seem to be in a natural offensive position for farming peoples, while farming peoples can only passively defend.

However, this situation was changed by a great emperor in the East in more than 100 BC.This emperor is the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who shines for thousands of years with his martial arts.

Under the efforts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army showed unprecedented combat effectiveness.The cavalry of the Han army went deep into the unfamiliar vast prairie with the momentum of turning back, and fought for thousands of miles. They just relied on the cavalry to beat the prosperous Xiongnu empire to death.Afterwards, the Xiongnu turned from prosperity to decline, and often bowed their heads to the Han court. Although they sometimes rebelled, they generally showed a gesture of submission to the Central Plains Dynasty.

More than a hundred years later, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu split due to internal power struggles, and a part of the Xiongnu moved south to belong to the Han court. At that time, the Han court allowed the southern Huns to settle in Wuyuan, Shuofang, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yan Gate and other northern counties.So far, the Southern Xiongnu has become a vassal of the Han Dynasty to some extent, guarding the frontier for the Han Dynasty. [

When Xianbei and Karasuma invaded, the Southern Huns sent troops to accompany the Han army many times.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Huns can be said to have done a lot for the Han court.

But the Southern Huns were still the Huns after all, he could be a very good thug, and he could also be the most vicious enemy.Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, the prestige of the Han court has plummeted, and the Southern Xiongnu hoarding in the Wuyuan area has shown signs of instability. If they rebel, it is impossible for the officials and a small number of Han troops sent by the imperial court to deal with it, let alone in the Wuyuan area. Among these officials, who knows how many have an ambiguous relationship with the Southern Huns.

At this time, the southern Xiongnu was only Qiangqu. As far as he was concerned, he was not willing to rebel against the Han Dynasty, but most of the generals under his command strongly demanded to take this opportunity to rebel against the Han Dynasty. , The performance of the right leader is the strongest.Now, the Southern Huns are divided into two factions. One faction headed by Qiangqu Shanyu does not approve of rebelling against the Han Dynasty. The officials took the opportunity to send troops south.

Although the forces demanding rebellion are very strong, as Shan Yu, Qiang Qu's strength should not be underestimated. On the whole, the strength of both sides is equal, so no one can persuade the other.The two sides are at a stalemate, and the contradiction is becoming more and more intensified, and there is a faint tendency to break out of civil strife.

Just as the situation in Wuyuan became increasingly tense, a Han army cavalry suddenly marched into Wuyuan.This army has about [-] cavalry, and its appearance is slightly different from that of the authentic Han people. It is flying two large flags, with five flying and phoenix characters embroidered with "Han Zhengbei General" on one side, and a big "Zhao Zhao" on the other side. 'Character.

It turned out that this was the army sent by Chen Chu, the general who conquered the North.This 5-strong army is the cavalry unit of the Canglang Battalion composed entirely of Karasuma people.The leading general is Zhao Yun, who is not yet well-known, the deputy general is Zang Ba, and the marching Sima is Ju Shou who was transferred back from Shangdang.

Zhao Yun was both excited and moved when he first took the post.Zhao Yun’s lifelong dream is to lead thousands of troops, protect the country and the people, and crusade against the barbarians. He never expected this dream to come true so soon; and Chen Chu’s regard for him gave him a sense of confidant. The so-called scholar is a confidant. He felt that he could only repay Chen Chu's kindness with all his blood.

When the [-] northern troops entered Wuyuan, the Southern Huns were extremely shocked, while the Han people and officials in the border counties were greatly relieved.

When Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, and Ju Shou led the cavalry of the [-] Canglang Battalion

When they came to Wuyuan County, the officials of Wuyuan County and many people who heard the news had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time.

Everyone was very excited, and some people immediately burst into tears when they saw the banner of the Northern Army.

It is no wonder that these officials and the people are so excited. In this precarious environment, their lives are threatened all the time, and the arrival of the North Army makes everyone feel that their lives are guaranteed, and they feel that they have a backing behind them.

"General, you are here!" The county guard with gray temples excitedly clasped his fists at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun hurriedly jumped off his horse to return the gift.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Yun, together with Zang Ba and Ju Shou, led hundreds of relatives into Wuyuan City under the leadership of the county guard, while the main force was left to garrison outside the city.

Along the way, the sight is bleak, the houses on both sides of the street look dilapidated, the people are all in ragged clothes, and everyone has a disheveled face, which shows that the people here are living very hard.

Seeing the surprise flashing in Zhao Yun's eyes, the county guard sighed and explained, "In the past few years, the government has collapsed, the Central Plains has been in chaos, and the prestige of the Han court has plummeted. Originally, the chaos in the Central Plains did not affect us border counties. It is no problem to support yourself, but the Southern Huns who originally surrendered to our dynasty are ready to move at this time. Many Hun tribes sent troops to kill and plunder our people. Living in dire straits is miserable!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning, and then revealed a firm expression, and clasped his fists at the Sheriff, "Lord Sheriff, with me, Zhao Yun, and all the soldiers under my command in the future, I will not let the common people be tortured by foreigners!"

The county guard excitedly clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and said, "With the general's words, the old man will feel more at ease!" [

At this time, Jushou, who was riding behind Zhao Yun on his horse, came forward and clasped his fists and said, "Master County Governor, I just heard you say that the Southern Huns killed and plundered our people. Have the Southern Huns turned their backs now?" Jushou frowned. , what he is most worried about is that the Southern Huns have completely rebelled against the Han.

The sheriff Chao Jushou bowed back with his fists clasped, and asked before answering, "This gentleman is...?"

"My surname is Ju, I have a single name, and my style is Gonghe. Now I am the marching commander sent by the lord to be beside General Zhao Yun."

"It turned out to be Mr. Jushou, who has been admiring me for a long time." The sheriff showed a surprised look, and clasped his fists again.Obviously, the sheriff had heard of Jushou's name, and it was not surprising. After such a big event such as the war against Dong Zhuo, everyone in the world remembered that Chen Chu had a resourceful adviser, Jushou.

After being polite, the county guard continued: "Mr. Gong and just asked if the Southern Huns had already completely opposed the Han? That's not true. However, it is said that there are strong anti-Chinese voices in the Southern Huns. If it weren't for the Qiangqu Shanyu If you block it with all your strength, maybe the Southern Huns have already completely rebelled against the Han."

Ju Shou's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Is Qiang Qu Shanyu still willing to submit to the Han court?"

The sheriff nodded, "Yes, this Qiangqu Shanyu can be regarded as loyal to my big man. Some of the Huns headed by him are not willing to oppose the Han. Some of them already think that they are Han. To be honest with you two, I have a very close friendship with this Qiang Qu Chanyu. Not long ago, we had a drink together. At that time, Qiang Qu Shanyu complained to my subordinates, saying that many people under his command were about to rebel! He I'm worried that he can't handle it alone, and the Han court is in civil strife and can't be counted on! Now, General Zhao led the elite northern army into Wuyuan, just in time to cooperate with Qiangqu Chanyu to stabilize the situation in the border county! "

Ju Shou and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and then Zhao Yun asked the Sheriff, "Master Sheriff, can I invite this Qiang Qu Chanyu to come and have a business meeting?"

"No problem, Qiangqu Chanyu's big tent is a few miles west of Wuyuan City, and he can be invited tonight."

"Okay, then, Lord Lao Sheriff is the one to do this."

"Where to say, this is just a matter of duty."

A group of people came to the government office surrounded by the common people, Zhao Yun suddenly felt a burst of emotion, only to see that the government office as the prefect's mansion unexpectedly

Low and dilapidated, this is not the prefect's mansion, it is clearly a ruined temple.Even so, this is already the best building in Wuyuan City.

The county guard brought Zhao Yun, Jushou, Zang Ba and a group of personal guards into the prefect's mansion, and said apologetically, "Wuyuan is poor, I have neglected you generals!"

In this regard, the three of them said that this is at least much more comfortable than living in a large tent.Zhao Yun said to the Sheriff: "Master Sheriff, you let us live in the Sheriff's Mansion, what about you?"

The sheriff said: "It doesn't matter to me, I still have a house in Wuyuan City, I can live there temporarily."

When Zhao Yun heard what he said, he stopped.

"By the way, Lord Sheriff, haven't you asked for your name?" The sheriff arranged for Zhao Yun to wait, and when he was about to leave, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

The sheriff stopped in his tracks, cupped his fists at Zhao Yun and said, "Don't dare. I'm going to Wang Yue."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

That night, Zhao Yun held a banquet at the county guard's mansion, waiting for an important guest. This guest was an important person in several counties around here, the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu. ! ~!
