Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 311

In the fourth year of Jian'an, the beginning of March in 196 AD.

Jia Xu offered a plan to lure the snakes out of the cave, and lured the defenders of Hangu Pass out of the pass, but was defeated by the Ganning water army.

Luo Zheng then attacked Hangu Pass with a surprise army, ordered his general Zhang Liao to lead [-] cavalry to guard the pass city, and then led [-] cavalry to go north from Huayin to Hedong, east from Jiangyi, enter Shangdang through Yicheng, and go south to Gaodu.

At this time, Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry to Yong'an.

At the northern foot of Huo Dashan, on the prairie east of Tongtian Mountain.

The [-] cavalry, each with one man and two horses, galloped across the green field.

Since Luo Zheng pacified Liangzhou in the third year of Chuping, he has reorganized his cavalry many times. The [-] cavalry remaining now are all carefully selected and fierce soldiers. the elite.

In terms of weapons and equipment, this cavalry has also undergone great changes.

After Luo Zheng captured, although there were tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, the equipment was very simple.

At that time, Luo Zhengqiong's jingle sounded, and the army under his command was not even equipped with unified weapons, and the soldiers were also uneven. Most of the cavalry were recruited from the Qiang Hu people, and the Han cavalry only accounted for a small part.

Those who can really be called elite are only three thousand old ones.

Although the fighting power is also very strong, there is still a certain distance from the real elite cavalry.

With these years of continuous foreign wars, after several rounds of blood replacement, almost all of the current [-] cavalry are composed of Han Chinese.

Although the number is small, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry has not decreased but increased.

Luo Zheng only retains [-] mobile troops. These [-] soldiers and horses do not need to be engaged in agricultural production, but specialize in war. It can be said that they are real professional soldiers. Not only must they accept the most rigorous military training, but they also have the best supplies.

Originally, all those left were veterans who had gone to the battlefield, and they paid a lot of money to support them, so there is no need to say more about their combat effectiveness.

Zhao Yun galloped at the forefront of the cavalry formation, feeling extremely open-minded.

I can't remember how long I haven't experienced this feeling. It has always been Zhao Yun's dream to lead a cavalry to fight against the Hulu, and to raise the prestige of the Han Dynasty outside the Great Wall like Huo Hussars, and now it can finally come true.

"Report-"

Just as Zhao Yun's heart was galloping forward, Hou Tanma galloped towards him like a shooting star in front of him.

Zhao Yun lifted the rein lightly and slowly slowed down the horse.

The scout cavalry rushed to the front and shouted: "Report to General Zhao Yun, the leaders of the Qiang and Yue clans will come to meet you."

Zhao Yun gently reined in the horse, waved his hand, and ordered: "Order the army to line up on the spot!"

"As ordered!"

Already, more than a dozen cavalry messengers urged their horses to gallop away, and quickly passed on the military order.

The [-] cavalry who were rolling forward immediately began to slow down, and the rear army tried its best to spread out to the two wings, forming a fan shape in the open field.

Not long after, there was thunderous hoofbeats in the distance, and a cavalry quickly approached here.

After about one stick of incense, thousands of cavalry from the ground had entered within one mile.

Zhao Yun only glanced at it, and visually determined that the Qianghu cavalry was about [-] cavalry.

Within five hundred steps, the Qianghu cavalry began to slow down slowly, and finally closed the formation three hundred steps away.

In front of the Qianghu cavalry formation, two big men like iron towers rode out on flying horses. They went straight to a hundred paces away before reining in the horses, rolled off their horses, fell on the ground and said loudly: "Ji'an, Ba Du pays homage to General Luo Zheng !"

Zhao Yun also urged his horse out of the battle, and said in a clear voice: "Two leaders please stand up, this is Zhao Yun!"

The leader of the second department was startled when he heard the words, his face turned a little ugly, and he quickly got up from the ground.

They have naturally heard of Zhao Yun's prestige, but no matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, he is not as powerful as Luo Zheng. These Qiang Hu people are afraid of Luo Zheng, not Zhao Yun. Since it is not Luo Zheng who came, why do they kneel.

"Dare to ask where General Luo Zheng is?"

Ji An, the leader of the Hetao Qiang people, got on his horse and asked reluctantly.

The leader of the Yue clan, Batu, also got on his horse and stared at Zhao Yun with burning eyes.

The Hetao area has always had a complex ethnic group. Although the Huns are the most powerful tribe, there are also Yuezhi, Qiang, Di, Rong and other tribes nomadic in Shangjun and Xihe, and there are even Han people who have been Huhua settled.

Luo Zheng was fierce and majestic, he slaughtered no less than hundreds of tribes, and even killed hundreds of thousands of Hu people.

The Huns were unwilling to take refuge in Luo Zheng because the Huns in Hetao had ambitions, and the Huns were also the main targets of Luo Zheng. In the third year of Chuping, the first battle killed Xiu Tuze, so that the Huns no longer had the possibility of taking refuge .

However, the Qiang people and the Yuezhi people are different, and it is good to mix under Luo Zheng.

Therefore, the Qiang people and Yuezhi talents who nomadic in Xihe and Shangjun were the first to fall to Luo Zheng.

Although Luo Zheng conquered and killed more Qiang people, the Qiang people have never been unified. The Qiang people who lived in the eight hundred miles of the Qiang plain are fundamentally different from those who moved to the Han territory. This is also an important reason for Luo Zheng to divide the Qiang people. means.

Win over the Qiang people who moved to the Han territory, and bloody conquered and suppressed the Qiang people who lived in the Eight Hundred Li Qiang Plain.

For the Qiang people who lived in the Han territory, even if Luo Zheng killed all the Qiang people in the eight hundred miles of Qiang Plain, they would not be enemies to Luo Zheng, because from the bottom of their hearts, these Qiang people are no longer Qiang people.

Just like Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in later generations, there are essential differences.

Therefore, the Qiang people in Xihe will turn to Luo Zheng. Firstly, it is because Luo Zheng is still good to the Qiang people. The Qiang people in Liangzhou are living a good life now. The second is that Luo Zheng's reputation is too strong, and he resisted a little. To move is to exterminate the genocide.

It is not difficult to choose whether to rely on Luo Zheng, establish meritorious deeds, and live a good life from then on, or resist Luo Zheng, and finally be bloody and slaughter the entire tribe.

After Luo Zheng's proclamation was sent to Hetao, he immediately made a choice.

Not to mention the Yuezhi people, they have accumulated more refuge than the Qiang people.

Gein Liangzhou's Xiaoyue Clan Queen Zhenbao is now Luo Zheng's woman, and Liangzhou's Xiaoyue Clan has been supporting Luo Zheng with all her strength, and has gained more benefits than the Qiang people. Now the days are good, not to mention more nourishing .

Although many young and strong died in battle, they earned a lot of living space for their descendants.

With this example, the Yuezhi people don't want to resist Luo Zheng's massacred tribe.

Even if they are not of the same family as the Xiaoyue clan in Liangzhou, they are of the same clan after all, and they happily voted under Luo Zheng's account. As long as they are willing to contribute and make contributions in the future, they will always get some benefits. It is better than being Luo Zheng Massacre the tribe strong.

It is for this reason that the Qiang and Xiaoyue clans did not hesitate to choose to join Luo Zheng.

However, it is not Luo Zheng who is here now, but the two leaders are disappointed.

In any case, he is also a tribal leader. Even if he wants to kneel and worship according to the etiquette of the Han people, he is still worshiping Luo Zheng, the lord who will be loyal to him in the future. It is nothing to kneel to Zhao Yun. Ji'an and Badu are a little angry.

Cheng Ying urged to go forward immediately, and said slowly: "Two leaders, please be safe and don't be impatient. My lord wants to go to the Central Plains, so he ordered General Zhao Yun to lead the army to conquer Hetao. The two leaders are able to understand current affairs, and the whole family joins my lord. He is indeed a hero, my lord has already known the hearts of the two leaders, so he ordered the next generation to praise him."

"This……"

The two suddenly realized, but their faces were still not very good-looking.

Luo Zheng didn't come in person, and obviously didn't pay much attention to them, which made the two very dissatisfied.But even if there is a big dissatisfaction, I dare not say anything at this time, Luo Zheng's fierce reputation is not blown out.

Zhao Yun saw the expressions of the two people in his eyes, and he knew it in his heart. He waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "My lord once said that the two tribes of Qiang and Xiaoyue could be members of the tribe. If the two leaders sincerely Clans come to vote, as long as they can make contributions, they will be like Qianghu in Liangzhou, and when Hetao is cleared in the future, there will be pastures, cattle and sheep of your two clans; Just follow someone to level up Di, Rong, Di and other tribes, otherwise please go back!"

Cheng Ying threatened with a smirk: "The two leaders should think about it. If you walk the right way, the tribe will multiply, and the descendants will be my masters and subjects, and there will be no more disasters. If you step on the wrong way, stop killing everyone." Hu is the best example."

Ji'an and Badu showed angry faces, but they did not dare to attack.

They exchanged glances, and finally said helplessly: "I am willing to fight with General Zhao Yun!"

Since the two have come, they have already thought of the consequences of resisting Luo Zheng.

No one dares to doubt Luo Zheng's strength and ferocity. At the beginning, when there was still a state in Liangzhou, Xiutu Gehu was wiped out, eight hundred miles of Qianghu were wiped out, and now they occupy Guanzhong. What do these small tribes of their own do? against the murderer.

Ji'an and Ba are even less suspicious. As long as they dare to be disobedient, they will definitely be slaughtered by Luo Zheng.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only obediently follow Zhao Yun to fight Hetao.

"That's good!"

Zhao Yundao: "The two chiefs lead the way, and a certain one first recovered Lishi."

Ji'an and Ba both agreed, and immediately turned around and galloped away, leading the army to clear the way.

Zhao Yun watched the two leave on horseback, thought for a while, and then sighed: "Fazheng has gone to Meiji, and I don't know how the division of the Huns is going. If nothing happens, we can only fight to the death with the Huns."

Cheng Ying said: "General Zhao Yun, don't worry, Fa Xiaozhi is very resourceful, and the lord and the military adviser have praised him many times. This trip to Meiji is sure to be safe and safe. Even if the plan fails, there are backups who can return to Chang'an safely. The general should first break through Xihe , and the rest of the Hu tribes in the Shangjun area, and then conquer them, and finally destroy the Xiongnu and pacify the Hetao."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "That's right, let's go too!"

After finishing speaking, he galloped out with his horse, and Cheng Ying hurriedly patted his horse to follow.

Five thousand cavalry gathered at Jingcong, followed the Qiang soldiers and the Yueshi cavalry, and galloped northward.

Lishi is the prefecture of Xihe County, which was occupied by the Huns.If you want to take Hetao, you must recover Lishi first, and then try to enter the army.
