The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358 Sending Troops to the Western Regions
Rumbling, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain.

"Tat-tat-tat!" There was a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, those Yuan Shu soldiers who were trembling with fear before they could escape in the future looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes in horror.

"Captain Chen, it's Captain Chen!"

After a group of sharp-eyed people saw the face of the leader, they immediately exclaimed.

"Where is Mr. Yan? Quick, look around!"

"Nephew, nephew, this old man is here!" Suddenly an old man came out from the disorderly army at the side.

"Sir, I hope you will forgive me for being late in the future!" While speaking, Xiaowei Chen saluted.

"This is not a place to talk, gather the remnants immediately!"

"promise!"

"Brother Chen, General Ji is still alive!"

Inside Yuan Shao's camp, Yan Liang and Wen Chou lowered their heads and dared not look directly at Yuan Shao.Although he had already prepared himself, he was still scolded bloody by Yuan Shao.

If it were someone else, they would have already attacked with their hot temper, but in front of Yuan Shao, the two remained silent.

"Hey! Go take a rest, you will definitely take back the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in the future!" Perhaps because he was tired of scolding, Yuan Shao waved his hand and sighed.

"Thank you, my lord!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately bowed and then slowly pushed out of the tent.

Seeing that his love was about to go away, Yuan Shao sighed again and said to the group of counselors: "Go down too!"

"My lord, Yuan Shu's corpse?" It was Xu You who spoke.

"Lao Ziyuan!" Yuan Shao waved his hand again.

Before leaving the big tent, Xu You looked at Shenpei and the others proudly, snorted coldly, and left quickly.

"Hmph, the villain has achieved his ambition!" the examiner scolded angrily.

He and Xu You have had a long-standing enmity, and whenever Yuan Shao asked about strategies, the two would ridicule each other, and Yuan Shao was inherently indecisive, so a lot of opportunities were wasted by the two of them.

A few days later, Huo Yu, who was furious, received a letter from Wang Yue, and his furious mood finally calmed down.

"My lord, is Yuan Shu's news?" Guo Jia, who was alert, asked immediately.

"The plan has been made, there has been no activity for a long time, it's time to move!" Huo Yu said loudly.

Everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was replaced by a burst of inexplicable excitement.Huo Yu's so-called "movement" must be sending troops, and of course the target of sending troops is the small country in the Western Regions that made Huo Yu furious.

In the third year of Guimao since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to visit the Da Yue Clan to jointly fight against the Huns. Although the mission was unsuccessful, it communicated the connection and exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

Since the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, all the countries have paid tribute every year. Now the Han Dynasty established by the Liu family has collapsed, and those small countries with different intentions have begun to harass the frontiers of the Han Dynasty under the influence of the remnants of the Huns.

The harassment was nothing more than a massacre of the caravan sent by Huo Yu to the Western Regions, and all the property was robbed.You must know that when this caravan passed through Wuwei County, the Ma family father and son did not dare to make things difficult.

Fortunately, the caravan was big enough, and those who survived by chance sent the news back to Youzhou, which caused Huo Yu to be furious. During the whole process, except for the smiles on Jia Xu's face, even Guo Jia and Xun You No one has ever seen such a scene.

"Mr. Wenhe, would you like to join the army this time?" Huo Yu, who was still angry just now, looked at Jia Xu with a smile on his face.

"Xu, I would like to go out with my lord!" Jia Xu immediately got up and returned the greeting.

"Hahaha, Mr. is confident, this expedition will definitely be a triumph!"

The general order was issued, and the war machine of the Youzhou Army began to operate rapidly. For a while, the princes of the world decided to hear the news, especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. object of attack.

Just as the princes were nervous, a piece of proclamation spread all over the world, claiming that the countries in the Western Regions had violated the might of the Han Dynasty, and General Hussars would personally lead an army to crusade to demonstrate the might of the Han Dynasty.

The words are glamorous, but in fact the Han court has long since ceased to exist, so how can we talk about offending the great Han Tianwei?Smarter people quickly guessed the reason, it must be some small country in the Western Regions who has no eyesight robbed Youzhou's caravan.

But then again, the northern land is in the hands of Huo Yu, and only the Ma family still controls Wuwei County. It seems that the target of Youzhou must be the Ma family. As for the countries in the Western Regions, it should be just an excuse for Huo Yu to send troops. .

After getting the exact news, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao finally felt at ease, as long as Huo Yu didn't send troops to attack him, there was still a chance.But for now, Xiahou Dun's cleverness has brought Cao Cao great trouble.

Yuan Shao had already started gathering troops. Once it was confirmed that Huo Yu's army was gone, he would defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop and take back the jade seal belonging to the Yuan family.

"Hahaha, this Yuan Benchu! Anyway, it's rare that brother Benchu ​​is so attentive! If you write back to brother Benchu ​​who offends my mighty man, he will be punished even if he is far away!" After reading Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, Huo Yu burst into laughter.

This also happened to be in line with his own plan. Facilitating favors is always done, but Huo Yu did double duty.On the one hand, he made a large grain deal with Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, he secretly sent someone to send a large amount of grain to Cao Cao.In a word, "I send troops to fight against foreigners, so let's fight in the nest!".

Although both Cao and Yuan knew about Huo Yu's tricks, they had no choice but to carry on because it was a conspiracy.Who made the two families quarrel so unhappy, otherwise, with the strength of the two of them, they would definitely be able to compete with Huo Yu.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were sharpening their knives. Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou had already started fighting. Thanks to Huo Yu's intelligence, Sun Ce was not captured like Sun Jian.At this moment, Sun Ce took down Jiang Xia in one go before Liu Biao could react.

After Lu Bu took Shouchun, his strength increased.However, Lu Bu, who has always been proud, silently digested the hard-won territory this time.

"Wen Hou, the news is confirmed, Huo Hussars sent troops to the Western Regions!" Zhang Liao, who hurried back, immediately reported to Lu Bu.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to Huo Yu's secret help that he was able to win Shouchun. Although Wang Yue didn't make it clear, Lu Bu already knew it in his heart.All these years, Huo Yu has treated him fairly well, so Lu Bu is somewhat grateful.

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight sooner or later, and they won't be distracted. It's just that Sun Ce is powerful, no, it can only be that Liu Biao is incompetent!" Hearing Zhang Liao's report, Lu Bu said to himself with a smile on his face.

"Wenhou means. But you want to take Jingzhou?"

In response to Wei Xu's reaction, Lu Bu's eyes widened and his mouth widened.For so long, only Zhang Liao understood his thoughts best.

"Hahaha" After a brief shock, Lu Bu laughed out loud. This kind of thing can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.

Time flies, in the spring of 198 AD, after a winter of preparations, the huge war machine of the Youzhou Army was finally dispatched again.After a huge swearing-in meeting, [-] Youzhou cavalry shouted the slogan "Anyone who violates the might of the Han will be punished even if he is far away", and marched towards the distant Western Regions!
