The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260

"The Xiongnu invaded the country! The Mayi garrison was completely wiped out! Straight to the Yanmen Pass!"

Wei Tao was so surprised that he stood up directly, such news really surprised Wei Tao!

"Why did the Xiongnu suddenly go south? Is it true that our army is restrained here and dare not fight against it?"

"My lord, I don't know about this matter. The soldier who sent the news drove all night, and even two of his horses ran to death before the news was delivered. When the news was delivered, he was already in a coma. Now I have Arrange for someone to take care of you."

"Okay, I'm relieved to leave this matter to Gongjin."

Wei Tao nodded, and he didn't mean to blame. After all, it would take a lot of time and energy to get here from Yanmen Pass, so it was inevitable.

"what happened?"

"Mayi and Yanmen Pass are currently guarded by Gao Lan and Zhang He. With their caution, even if they are attacked by the Huns, they will not be completely defenseless. In Bingzhou, Zhang Liao is also in charge. When he learns that the Huns are going south, he must cavalry. The enemy, and even Xun You will coordinate the overall situation afterwards, although the Xiongnu went south, they must have nothing to do with me."

Seeing that Wei Tao was anxious, Zhou Yu finally opened his mouth to explain to Wei Tao that this was all for Wei Tao to let go of his worries.

"Gongjin, there's no need to be like this, I'm not that fragile yet."

Wei Tao couldn't help smiling, he was indeed a little anxious just now, but at this moment he has completely calmed down.

After all, the Huns going south is also under Wei Tao's consideration.

This piece of news was just the first news. After half a day, Zhang Liao and Xun You sent letters one after another, finally giving Wei Tao a general understanding.

The Xiongnu led [-] soldiers and rushed directly. Although Gao Lan, who was stationed in Mayi, discovered the opponent's trace in time, he resolutely led the army to fight in order to warn Yanmen Pass in time.

After receiving Gao Lan's warning, Zhang He, who was stationed at Yanmen Pass, was on guard in time. Although there was a big twists and turns, Zhang He was cautious and finally did not let the Huns enter the pass.

But under such circumstances, Gao Lan was martyred in Mayi, and his corpse was mutilated by the Huns and could not be found.

"Snapped!"

After Wei Tao finished reading, he immediately slapped the desk heavily.

"What a Yuan Shao! What a Jushou! None of them should be sons of men!"

Wei Tao was angry, very angry!
I didn't think that I cherished him as a talent, thinking that no matter what, even if I couldn't help myself, as a man of the people, I should think of the man more or less.

That's right, what happened this time was actually caused by Yuan Shao. He contacted the Xiongnu and allowed him to send troops, disturbing Wei Tao's back and back so that he had to return his troops to break the siege of Yecheng.

If Wei Tao returns to the army, then Wei Tao's reputation will plummet, not to mention the supplies spent in this battle, and the Xiongnu alone will be difficult to deal with.

If it was true that the Xiongnu successfully broke through and entered, and the cavalry came and went, then the test Wei Tao would have to suffer is not to mention.

And the one who fulfills this condition is Ju Shou.

At the beginning when Jushou was captured by Wei Tao, he would rather die than surrender. Wei Tao thought that he was also a great man and was unwilling to kill him. Moreover, Jushou's virtues were quite high in the past, so he thought of a plan to put him in Yanmen Pass. As a big Han, he would naturally plan to resist when the Xiongnu attacked south. If he didn't want to, then he would be punished by life and death.

But later Gao Lan was stationed in Mayi, and Zhang Yun was guarding Yanmen Pass. These two men were originally Yuan Shao's subordinates, and their relationship with Jushou was not bad. He is also quite polite to Jushou.

Under such circumstances, although Jushou couldn't leave Yanmen Pass and didn't have any rights in his hands, he was quite free in his actions.

It's a pity that even Wei Tao didn't expect that Jushou would secretly inform the Xiongnu, and even led the people ambushing at Yanmen Pass to launch a rebellion, intending to make a big switch and let the Xiongnu break through the pass.

If Zhang Yun hadn't immediately sealed off the whole city after receiving the Gao Lan warning, and ordered people to search extensively, it would have forced him to launch it immediately, I'm afraid it would not have been known.

Jushou's strategy is extraordinary, and this arrangement actually ambushed nearly a thousand people under Yanmen Pass. Unfortunately, the Huns were stopped by Gao Lan, and Jushou couldn't be Zhang He's opponent.

"Such people dare to say that they have a noble character? It's really annoying!"

Zhou Yu is gracious, and this time he is rarely angry. No matter what era, people who liaise with foreigners are the most hated, let alone the Xiongnu, who have invaded the big man several times and brought countless pains to the big man. !
However, resentment is resentment, but Zhou Yu is a top strategist after all, and soon regained his composure, and after a while of thinking, he spoke slowly to Wei Tao.

"My lord, we did lose the opportunity this time around, but fortunately, as I said, the Huns are already outside the Yanmen Pass at this time, and without help, it is almost impossible to enter the pass. My lord, please don't worry."

Now that the battle has been fought, Zhou Yu naturally doesn't want to retreat, otherwise, if he goes south to attack and kill in the future, someone will hook up with the Xiongnu, so Wei Tao will never want to be able to go south successfully.

So at this time Zhou Yu persuaded Wei Tao.

Of course, it must be said that Zhou Yu's words are also reasonable. At least at this time, although there is an urgent report, it is not a request for help. It is more just to let Wei Tao know about it.

"Not so."

But at this moment, Wei Tao shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile.

"Gongjin, I also understand what you mean, but you also know my ambition. It is not to fight for the power of the world, but to protect my big man from being invaded by foreign races, so that my big man can last forever. Attack Yecheng and seize Jizhou, it’s all for this. Now that the Huns are coming to the north, I ignore it because of this. Wouldn’t it be a waste of money? If so, why am I talking about expelling aliens for the great Han? It’s better to give up this ambition early, so as not to be blamed by the world Laugh at my hypocrisy."

"My lord..."

Even if he had known Wei Tao's temper for a long time, Zhou Yu was speechless for a while.

How many people from all over the world can think of this and do this at this time?
"Hehe...Gong Jin doesn't have to be like this. Although my ambition is not in the world, if there is an opportunity to expel the aliens better, then I will not give up. Now that Yan Liang and Wen Chou have been killed by me, Yuan Junzhong has lost his spirit. He is no match for our army at all, and I believe that with Gongjin's ability, he will be able to recover all the counties in Jizhou in one fell swoop, so how about I hand over this matter to Gongjin?"

"My lord, do you mean to return in person?"

Zhou Yu is worthy of being a top strategist. He could guess Wei Tao's plan just by hearing Wei Tao's words.

"Yes, if our army goes north and returns, it will take a lot of time, and food, grass and supplies will be even more expensive. What's more, as Gong Jin said, the Xiongnu are now being blocked from Yanmen Pass. Since none of them have entered Yanmen Pass, why do we need to go to such lengths to act? Could it be that the soldiers I left in Bingzhou are not enough to keep them out of Yanmen Pass and prevent them from taking the next step south?"

Today's Wei Tao is no longer the Wei Tao of the past. The Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei have all fought against them, but which time did Wei Tao win a big victory?
Now it's just against the Huns, how can it be invincible?
"That being the case, please pay more attention, my lord. Our army's victory over the Xiongnu in the last battle can be said to have severely damaged them. Now that they are making a comeback, either their leader refuses to accept the prestige of the lord, or he has the law to deal with the lord. In any case, It is impossible to really belittle the lord, so I ask the lord to be more cautious."

Zhou Yu naturally understood Wei Tao, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally said with a smile.

"Haha...Since Gong Jin knows that I am aiming to destroy the alien race, how could he not guard against it? The Xiongnu Qiangqu and Yu Fuluo have been defeated by me one after another. I want to see who the Huns have now!"

Today is different from the past, Wei Tao's identity, status, and strength have all improved a lot, so how can he be afraid?
Even if the Xiongnu invaded, this time Wei Tao only brought Dianwei back to aid, and even Xun You and Wei Tao ordered them not to come to aid by letter.

There are only [-] Huns, and they will be destroyed in one battle!

This is Wei Tao's determination!
Determined, Wei Tao immediately rushed to Yanmen Pass by starry night, but after spending several days, Wei Tao arrived at Yanmen Pass.

Although there was a little panic among the people along the way, there were no large-scale escapes and relocations, and there were more discussions about how Wei Tao resisted the Huns going south.

Although Yanmen Pass was attacked by the Xiongnu at this time, the situation was not bad. Under the command of Zhang Xi, they resisted the Xiongnu's attack in an orderly manner.

"Zhang He really looks like a famous general with extraordinary abilities."

Although he hadn't seen how Zhang Yun commanded to resist the Huns, Wei Tao just heard that Yanmen Pass had never been broken, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Even though the Xiongnu were not good at siege, they were able to stabilize the city in such a sudden situation so as not to lose it. It has already been seen that Zhang He is capable. How could Wei Tao be dissatisfied?

At this time, Yanmen Pass was completely under martial law, and no one was allowed to pass through, but Wei Tao was his master, so he was naturally not included in the forbidden list. As soon as he arrived at Yanmen Pass, someone notified Zhang Yun to come to greet him.

"The last general pays his respects to the lord!"

"Junyi, you did a good job this time. It is thanks to you that the Yanmen Pass can be so stable. As for Gao Lan, I know everything about it, and this time it is all thanks to him. I have ordered people to reward his family members. If there is an opportunity, the remains of General Gao must be retrieved to mourn him."

Wei Tao nodded and said about Zhang Yun and Gao Lan's achievements, but then he suddenly became serious, looking at Zhang Yun and asking coldly.

"Where is Jushou now?"

"My lord, Jushou's rebellion failed, I have already captured him, and now he is being held in prison."

Even Zhang Yun, who is so tolerant, was shocked by Wei Tao's cold tone for a moment, and he didn't dare to delay any more, so he spoke quickly.

"If my lord wants to see you, He will bring him immediately!"

"Bring it up quickly!"

Wei Tao's tone was still very cold, Zhang Yun dared to be negligent, and went to interrogate Ju Shou himself.
