The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 262
"My lord is right."

Everyone here is Yanmen Gate Guard General Zhang He, who knows the most about this Xiongnu, and he immediately came out, and then opened his mouth to speak.

"You guys don't know, but now this Xiongnu is led by Liu Bao, the leader of the Xiongnu. He is the son of Yufuluo. It is said that he just came of age this year, but his courage is extraordinary. Breaking it is equivalent to directly cutting off the troubles of the Xiongnu!"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but Wei Tao had some impression of the name Liu Bao.

If Wei Tao's memory is correct, isn't Liu Yuan, Emperor Han and Zhao who perished in the Western Jin Dynasty in history, his son?

Although there are talents from generation to generation, it doesn't mean anything to kill Liu Bao and eliminate Liu Yuan. Maybe Zhang Yuan and Xu Yuan came out again, but if so, it can always eliminate some hidden dangers.

Wei Tao was already quite excited.

What I have done in this era is not just to change this situation. Now that the opportunity is in front of my eyes, how can Wei Tao not cherish it, and he is gearing up for it.

But it is not so easy to break the Huns.

The next day, Wei Tao's expression on the top of the wall was very ugly.

"How could the Huns have such a thing, don't say that such a thing can pass through Yanmen Pass!"

Wei Tao's face was very cold, but facing Wei Tao, Zhang He, the guard of Yanmen Gate, could only smile wryly. This is the biggest reason why he personally apologized.

But at this time Zhang He still had no choice but to stand up and said to Wei Tao as soon as he cupped his hands.

"My lord, the catapult and battering ram were not used by the Huns at the beginning, but were built in the past few days."

What Zhang He didn't say was that for this information, more than 100 of his subordinates had died.

"how is this possible?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly. The reason why Yanmen Pass had been able to resist the Huns going south for many years was because the Huns themselves were not good at siege.

Among them, the fact that siege equipment is not good at building is a very important factor, but what is the Xiongnu now, there is no way it looks like it can't be built.

At least from Wei Tao's point of view, although it is not well-made, it is already considered a very good siege tool.

"Impossible! During the Xiongnu period, there were absolutely no craftsmen who were proficient in this. How could such siege equipment be made in a short period of time?"

Wei Tao made a decisive decision, and then fixed his eyes on Zhang He.

"Junyi, do you know why?"

"Yes, this was done by Jushou. After my investigation, there were Han people who left the customs before that. I thought they were just ordinary merchants, but there should be Han craftsmen among them. I didn't check them for a while. , directly helping the Huns."

Zhang He did already know the reason, even if he said it clearly, it would make Wei Tao even more angry, but at this moment, Zhang He dared not say it.

"Ju Shou! Ju Gong Ze!"

Wei Tao gritted his teeth, hating himself!
It is enough to just build siege equipment. If the production method is leaked, then the border will never be peaceful, and if you are not careful, you may be entered by a foreign race.

If there are more such blind, foolish and loyal people, wouldn't it make the whole of China sink?
Tolerable or unbearable!
"Come here! Pass my order! Jushou is connected with foreign clans, his crime is unforgivable! The clan punishes the nine clans! Hang all their corpses in the city to expose them to the sun! Then spread the order to the world! But with me, Wei Tao, in one day, other Kill all the clansmen!"

Originally, Wei Tao was only planning to kill Jushou alone, and maybe he would be buried after killing him, but at this time, Wei Tao was annoyed and immediately gave the order after hearing this.

"It's not enough to shock the world! Send me a message to Yuan Shao again, just say, if he kills all the people of Jushou's clan, then the war will stop by itself, if not, I will definitely break the Sili! Kill all his clan!"

Even for a man like Zhang He, when he heard Wei Tao's order, his whole body felt cold, and he was almost immortal.

Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the world is so big that there is no longer a place for the Jushou clan, and it is even possible that the clan will be wiped out because of this.

More importantly, if Wei Tao made his crimes known to the world, who would dare to cover up his clansmen?
Isn't he afraid of being said that he is a person with connections with other races? What Wei Tao did was to drive them all to death.

But under such circumstances, it also played the same deterrent, who would dare to do this in the future.

"Slow! Give me another order! Check the identities of those craftsmen. If they didn't leave the customs voluntarily, then only their crimes will be considered. If not, they will be punished with the same crime as Jushou!"

At this time, Wei Tao added another sentence, no matter whether those craftsmen were voluntary or not, their behavior is already endangering the common people of Han Dynasty, and Wei Tao can't let it go.

"promise!"

Under such circumstances, how could Zhang He dare to be negligent, and immediately obeyed his orders and left.

Wei Tao glanced out again, and his heart was even more angry. He was attracted by the siege equipment just now. At this time, Wei Tao discovered that there were many corpses and bones outside the city. What is even more annoying is that , the clothes and ornaments on the bones of the corpses were clearly worn by the Han people.

Obviously, the Xiongnu drove the Han people from somewhere outside Yanmen Pass to forcibly attack the city.

Naturally, such a siege method cannot really have any effect, but the lives of the Han people are wasted in vain, which makes people resentful.

"Why don't you even restrain the corpse?"

Wei Tao did not blame the defenders for killing those Han people, even if Wei Tao was here, he would have ordered the same, but it is really unreasonable to let the corpses be exposed in the wilderness like this.

Don't talk about the possible plague and other things, just say that what is important at this time is to put a person in the ground for peace, and now he is allowed to be like this, so isn't it too much?
"My lord, it's not that we don't want to restrain them. After all, there are our robes among them. The Huns are really hateful. Once we go out of the city to collect the corpses, they will rush to kill them. After a few times, our army suffered a lot of casualties. The general had to We are not allowed to leave the city."

At this time, although Zhang He went to pass the order for Wei Tao, but naturally someone knew about the matter here, so he said it immediately.

"What a Xiongnu, what a Liu Bao!"

Wei Tao slapped hard, his expression very angry.

"Then the body of the Huns was snatched by the other party because of the large number of people?"

"My lord, the Xiongnu came and went very quickly thanks to the large number of cavalry. Our army defended the city in a hurry, and we were very tired after several times. Even if we wanted to defend ourselves, we couldn't afford to defend ourselves..."

The person next to him argued in a low voice.

This reason is not very plausible, but Wei Tao can understand that soldiers are also human beings, if they are forced to do so, their morale will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid they will be taken advantage of by the Huns instead.

Fortunately, the weather is already cold at this time, and diseases such as plague should not break out quickly.

"Order all the generals to be in my account!"

After Wei Tao read it once, he ordered it immediately.

Following Wei Tao's order, all the generals gathered in Wei Tao's tent. It must be said that this time Wei Tao did not have any top counselors.

However, Xun You had sent Zhao Yun here ahead of time, and with Dian Wei coming along with Wei Tao, there was no shortage of generals under Wei Tao's command.

"The Xiongnu attacked. Although there are [-] people and there are siege equipment to assist, even I did not expect the situation to be so bad. You are my confidantes. I don't know if there is a way to retreat the enemy."

Hearing Wei Tao's question, many generals were at a loss for a while. For these generals, it is okay to fight against the enemy, but it is impossible to stand alone and think carefully.

That is to say, Zhang He and Zhao Yun secretly frowned and thought about their plan. After a while, it was Zhao Yun who spoke first.

"My lord, the Huns have always fought fiercely with courage, and my lord has used this to boost morale after defeating the aliens several times. Why don't I wait for the challenge in front of the battle tomorrow, and then fight in one fell swoop to dampen their spirit."

"General Zilong, it's not that this strategy is not good, but that the Huns are already prepared."

But at this time Zhang He said with a wry smile.

"It should be due to the prestige of the lord. Although the Huns wanted to offend me, they knew that the lord was brave. Therefore, when the Huns came, I wanted to challenge them. As a result, the Huns came straight, although the damage was great. Some, but they can guarantee their victory, after all, our army has a very large area and insufficient troops."

Hearing what Zhang He said, Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and had no other choice for a while.

It's not just Zhao Yun, Zhang He is the same. If there is a way to break the Huns, Zhang He will not sit and wait for help, but will take the initiative to attack them to retreat the Huns.

Counselors seem to be only strategizing, but they are really winning thousands of miles away. At this time, even Wei Tao deeply feels the use of counselors.

However, Wei Tao didn't intend to transfer Zhou Yu, Xun Youyi or Zhuge Jin.

Zhou Yu presided over the capture of Jizhou, Xun You took charge of the overall situation, and Zhuge Jin is now guarding Youzhou. No matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to leave his position easily.

"It's just the Xiongnu, who don't understand the art of war and strategy. Now they are just occupying the most important position. Besides, there is a flat river outside Yanmen Pass, which is not conducive to our army's galloping. But if you want to block our army's way just because of this, then It is too much to underestimate our army."

Seeing that Zhao Yun and Zhang Heyi had nothing to do at the moment, Wei Tao didn't care too much, so he said it right away.

"As for Liu Bao, looking at it now, he really has a small plan and knows the truth of making use of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. Unfortunately, he has never thought about it. If the Huns lose their courage, what if they are cavalry? But they can be destroyed by flipping hands. The so-called Even if Gongjin and Gongda are not by my side now, how can I not get it? Hehe, the Xiongnu will see me as a big man and no one left!"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, everyone's spirits were lifted immediately. Everyone believed in Wei Tao's words, and Zhao Yun and Zhang He stepped forward and clasped their fists.

"I don't know what the lord's plan is, but I am willing to be the pioneer!"
