Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2273 Hard Bone, Hard Bone, Beef Bone, Pork Bone

  When the northern part of Youzhou was in chaos, Zhao Yun met the leader of Rouran in Mobei.

  The tribes on the grassland have been influenced by the Xiongnu for a long time, so the tribal leaders in Rouran also call themselves kings, nobles, etc.

It's not that Rouran people don't want to call themselves Khan, but that if they want to be called Khan, they must have the strength of "Khan". Now, Rouran is still very weak, and is often pushed to the ground by Xianbei people. How to rub when rubbing...

  Strictly speaking, Rouran can't be called "Rouran" now, it's just because Hussar General Fei Qian called it so, so it is also called Rouran.

  Then Rouran people also think that the name Rouran is good...

   Well, this causal relationship seems a bit messy.

  Rou Ran is actually a nonsense.

  Zahu means not a bastard,

China has also promoted the blood-only theory for a period of time, but after the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, especially after the former Qin Dynasty, after the voice of "the princes and generals are better than each other", pure blood is no longer popular, and the theory of ability gradually climbed up, but was suppressed back by the joint clan and small peasant economy.

   On the whole, the "bloodline" of the Han Huaxia has been converted into a "clan". This is actually somewhat similar to the tribe of the Hu people, but the details may be somewhat different.

  So Rouran’s miscellaneous beards are just saying that these Rouran’s "clans" are more chaotic...

   There is a saying called "a long illness makes a good doctor", and it may be appropriate to put it here in Rouran. It's not that Rouran people are prone to illness, but because of Rouran's history, it is a temporary group formed time and time again by Huaxia and the losers of the lords of the grasslands.

  Rouran's earliest body is a part of "Ghost Fang".

   At the earliest time, Guifang wanted to compete with the Shang Dynasty people in the bone club, but the Shang Dynasty people took out the bronze utensils...

   Then Gui Fangren had no choice but to run away cursing. Some of them went to the northeast, some went to the northwest. Those who went to the northeast later evolved into "Ning Ling", then evolved into "Ding Ling", and finally became the current "Ding Ling". It's two different things from Ghost Fang...

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Bei Di, that is, the two brothers Chi Di and Bai Di finally switched to bronze weapons. Shamelessly came up with a wheel war!

  So the two Beidi brothers also had bruised noses and swollen faces, and quit the main battlefield cursing, and sat on the bench with the remnants of Gui Fang in the loser group.

  Further back, some of the Huns wiped their tears, and then squeezed on the same bench with these people.

  If there is no such thing as Feiqian in history... Well, the stirrer, Rouran, who is a cold bench, will usher in the next loser group player, Xianbei's Tuoba tribe...

  So, if you really pay attention, Rouran should be called "The Avengers". Well, that's right, it was the "Avengers" who sat on the cold bench beside him, and then gnashed his teeth and cursed in small circles.

   And now that Zhao Yun has found the leader of Rouran, he just wants to tell the Rouran people, how can you be so cowardly? Dingling is a hammer! Go **** him! I'll give you a knife, take it, go bravely!

  Rouran's leader looked at Xiaodao with a sad face, er, looked at Zhao Yun, and spoke in a strange tone of Huns, "General...this matter is not easy to handle..."

   Zhao Yun's smile remained unchanged: "But what's the problem? 』

  The leader of Rouran nodded and said: "Jiankun people...as long as the general can help us get rid of the Jiankun people...we will definitely help the general!" 』

  Jiankun?

  Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

  This name is indeed a little strange to Zhao Yun. He seems to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Zhang He looked at Zhao Yun and said in a low voice: "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Huns Maodun was able to strengthen themselves, and they conquered Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, Xinli, etc... in the north, they became Jiankun. ...Afterwards, it became the territory of the Right Wise King of the Huns...』

  『Oh…』 Zhao Yun thought for a moment, glanced at Zhang He, nodded, and said, 『Understood. 』

  Gan Feng's eyes widened, and he understood a thread? understand what? Can anyone explain?

  『Come on! ’Zhao Yun ordered, ‘Bring a certain scepter! 』

   Not long after, guards brought Zhao Yun's general Pingbei's scepter to him.

  Zhao Yun took the scepter, then handed it to the head of Rouran, and said: "The head can lead others to hold this scepter, go to Jiankun, and call his envoy to see you!" 』

The head of Rouran subconsciously took the scepter, then was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhao Yun, "General..." Although the head of Rouran didn't finish the sentence completely, his expression already showed doubts inadvertently, just such a stick Can a hairy stick have such magical power? Can people from Jiankun come?

  Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "You might as well try it. 』

  The headman of Rouran lowered his head, held up his scepter in both hands, "Follow the general's orders..."

   The scepter is actually very interesting to talk about. The entity of the scepter, the so-called hairy stick, does not have much lethality. If it is used for fighting, it is not as good as a serious knife and gun, but it represents a kind of authority, a kind of authority, so it The effect is far beyond what can be summed up by a hairy stick.

  The head of Rouran walked away suspiciously.

  Gan Feng sneered twice, "This old guy, what else does he want to trick us into helping him fight... What is that bone called?" 』

  『Jiankun. Not strong bones. ’ Zhang He corrected.

"Uh, Jiankun..." Gan Feng nodded, "Anyway, this old guy is only thinking of good things, help him finish this hard... hard bone, and turn his face again at that time, hum, just change his mind and let us go again There are a lot of hard bones, beef bones, pork bones, and so on, and there is no end to it...』

  Zhang Heba smacked his lips, forget it, let’s not correct him, anyway, what Gan Feng said is not wrong. If you really follow Rouran's pace, you must be making a big mistake.

Zhao Yun also nodded, and stood up, "General Gan is right, that's how it is...let Rouran do what we want...but it can't be said that we don't give Rouran hope at all... let's do it first, wait for Jian When Kun's people come, let's talk..."

  『General, this Jiankun, uh, Jiankun...』 Gan Feng still didn’t understand, 『Will he really come? 』

When Zhao Yun and others were looking for the leader of Rouran before, the leader of Rouran tried to avoid it several times, but then Dingling came, which was equivalent to pushing Rouran, and then pushed the leader of Rouran away. In front of Zhao Yun and others, and this Jiankun is even more remote, how could they be willing to travel long distances to meet each other?

  『This…』Zhao Yun pointed to Zhang He, 「You ask him, he understands…」

   After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun turned around and left.

   "This... General Zhang..." Gan Feng turned to look at Zhang Yun.

  Zhang Yun smiled and stood up, "This is a long story...I'm afraid someone will say it's water...or next time? Next time? 』

  Gan Feng also stood up quickly, chasing Zhang Xi's footsteps, "That **** is chewing his tongue? General Zhang, just tell me, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep well at night…”

  …┐(～)┌…

   Cutting off food does not mean that there will be no food immediately.

Some people think that if they run out of food, they can still rob the surrounding areas, plunder the people, or even eat human flesh, but in fact, most of the troops that make up the army are ordinary people. Armies don't last long...

   Therefore, in the ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, it was very important to maintain a smooth grain road.

  Lulong Village was mainly defended against the Hu people in the northeast of Xing'an Mountains, so the military village was located on the easternmost side of the Xuwu Mountains, stuck on the mountain pass. To the east of Lulongzhai is the alluvial plain, to the north of the Shizihe alluvial plain are large and small hills and mountains, and to the southwest is the west of Liaoning.

   If you really want to make a detour, as long as you can pass through the area, you can theoretically go around, but it depends on whether it is worth it, or whether the risk is high. In some places, there is no problem for herb pickers or small troops to go. If the army is large, it will be troublesome. Simply put, it would take five days to travel along the normal road, but if it is said that it takes a detour into the mountainous area, it would normally travel every day. Fifty miles has become only five miles a day, and the straight-line distance is only two hundred miles, and it has become four hundred miles after going around the mountainous area. Even if you can really walk out, the time and food consumption will be more than a dozen or two more than before. ten times!

  This huge gap cannot be resisted by anyone...

  The meaning of military strongholds and passes is here. It is difficult to attack, but it is even more uncomfortable to choose not to fight and to detour.

Originally, if Gongsundu wanted to attack Yuyang, he needed to fight from Liaodong to Liaoxi step by step. As a result, after Gongsundu got the ships supported by Sun Quan, he bypassed these points, and then turned around and outflanked from the rear. Under the internal and external attacks, it was a surprise to hit these military strongholds.

The general who was originally stationed at Lulongzhai was also a member of Cao Chun's family. Cao Chun still remembers the excited and resolute look on his young face when he was handed over the position of Lulongzhai's chief general. look.

Now…

  Gongsun Jun may be more lenient towards ordinary Cao soldiers, but for such non-commissioned officers, I am afraid that he will not be merciful.

  Cao Chun gritted his teeth and waved his hand to signal the cavalry to speed up.

  In order to ensure speed, Cao Chun did not bring heavy cavalry this time, all of them were light cavalry. Thanks to the elimination of the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people this time, Cao Jun also assembled a luxurious lineup, with thousands of people, two horses, and no auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands.

  Although the number is only a thousand, the cavalry seems to be larger than the infantry array. In addition, it is equipped with two horses. Especially when traveling in the valley of the Xuwu Mountains, it seemed as if the valley was filled, and the sound of people shouting and neighing echoed in the valley.

   This is a big gamble.

   At first Cao Hong was also unwilling. After all, if he was ambushed by Gongsun’s army in the mountain path, then there would be no question of raiding Lulongzhai. How many of them survived would be a problem!

   But Cao Chun was very persistent. He was willing to fight with his life to block the return of Gongsun Jun and strangle Gongsun Du to death in western Liaoning! Only in this way can Cao Chun let go of the humiliation he suffered that day!

  As a man on the battlefield, of course, he has revenge for revenge, and revenge for revenge. As for waiting ten or twenty years, there is no chance.

In the end, Cao Hong couldn't hold back Cao Chun, so he agreed, and urged him repeatedly before leaving, but both Cao Hong and Cao Chun knew that these advices were useless. , only rush, raid!

  After several consecutive cavalry battles, Cao Jun's cavalry also somewhat looked alike.

Iron-blooded soldiers are tempered little by little on the battlefield, so the cavalry led by Cao Chun now seems to be a little loose on horseback, but in fact, this kind of laxity is sometimes a good thing. After all, it is impossible for a person's spirit to be highly concentrated at all times. A long time of tension will inevitably make fatigue come faster. Therefore, maintaining a relatively relaxed state can prolong the journey and make people less tired. .

   But even so, it is impossible to run directly from the rear to the front line in one breath. When it is time to rest, you still have to rest.

  Cao Chun looked around, and then asked the scouts to go out to detect, that is, he gave the order to repair in situ.

Cao Jun's cavalry gradually stopped, or adjusted their harnesses, wiped some sweat on the horses and fed them some food, or **** some loose dry rations and weapons again, and then some got together shaking their legs and stretching their waists, one by one. At the same time, of course, they are not as rigorous as the infantry, coupled with the neighing of the horses, it is extremely lively in Xu Wu Mountain.

  『Rest for half an hour! ’ Cao Chun ordered.

  The next step is to rush out of Xu Wushan in one breath and go straight to Lulongzhai!

  In Xuwu Mountain, although the mountain narrows in the Lulongzhai area, there are still some mountain trails. For these roads, people can walk, but it is not convenient for large troops to pass. Therefore, Lulongzhai is still the place that can best control the passage of the army, and it is also the target of Cao Chun's adventurous march.

  Cao Chun stood on a big rock and looked in the direction of Lulongzhai. Others can relax, but Cao Chun's spirit is tense all the way. After all, he is the commander of an army, and he bears the lives of thousands of people on his shoulders. From time to time, the natives would wake up in the middle of the night, and then look up at the starry sky and mutter silently.

  『General…』 Cao Chun’s guard handed over a water bag, 『Drink some water…』

  Cao Chun nodded, took it, drank a couple of sips, and then put it down, "It will be here tomorrow... here it is!" 』

  There was a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then the scouts originally sent by Cao Chun came back.

  『What's going on ahead? How many defenders are there in Lulongzhai? 』When Cao Chun saw the scout, he asked anxiously before the scout's breath calmed down.

"Back, back to the general..." the scout gasped, "Ahead...there is nothing unusual in front... Brothers, hoh, I have touched the edge of Lulong Village, and found nothing unusual... There should be five hundred people in the village, at most eight hundred People... the guard should be the Gongsun family... but I don't know who it is...』

"it is good! ”Cao Chun slapped his hands, “If this is the case, I will credit you with credit! Go rest, rest, and explore again! 』

  The scouts also took the lead happily, and retreated without mentioning it.

Just like Cao Chun put the Cao family's children in Lulongzhai at that time, Gongsundu must also be worried about letting other ordinary generals and schools guard such an important pass. Wealthy generals can be used for waste, so they must be the children of one of the Gongsun clan.

  At noon the next day, the soldiers of Gongsun on Lulongzhai were hiding in the shadows beside the wall of the village, avoiding direct sunlight. On the west side of Lulongzhai, many traces of Gongsun's army breaking through the wall of the village have not been repaired, and they are left as they are. At the gate of the village, the stone wall seemed to have been burnt once, leaving scorched black marks.

Gongsun's advance was hindered, and Youzhou was attacked by Dingling people. Although the Dingling people who were not on the west side of Xing'an Mountains would not be so stupid as to run to attack Lulongzhai, the messengers who came and went day after day, and the faces of the people who were getting worse and worse General Gongsun seems to be able to explain some problems.

  At the west end of the road, there were only sixty or seventy people who stumbled and walked, and the first people were still holding the dilapidated Gongsun banner. Everyone looked in a state of disarray, with shirts on the left and right, no one was complete. Some people had their hands and feet covered, and their bodies were stained with blood for an unknown period of time, a large area was smudged black and red. They were supported by the robes around them, and they staggered towards Lulongzhai.

   But these Gongsun soldiers who look like defeated troops have not forgotten that they are soldiers, at least they still hold the blade in their hands...

  The Gongsun soldiers on duty at Lulong Village were naturally terrified and ran in a panic. Then someone climbed up the wall of the village and shouted at the group of defeated soldiers: "Who are you!" Where did it come from? ! 』

  Cao Chun was in the queue, also dressed in rags, he stabbed a Liaodong soldier beside him, and shouted in a low voice, "Talk back..."

"Then what... are you so frivolous..." Liaodong soldiers opened their mouths and shouted, "Your uncle, I have no end, Cao Jun's **** are here, and the generals are so frivolous... Grandpa I desperately came out to report a letter to you... Hurry up, open the door and let the uncle in...』

  The Gongsun soldiers on Lulongzhai suddenly burst into an uproar.

  『Who the **** are you? ’ The military academy above Lulongzhai was also cursing, ‘Look at you bastards, ah, every one of you has a disabled arm blocking your leg, and you even have a **** mouth...’

Questions and answers up and down, uh, well, during the process of insulting each other, Cao Chun secretly took the bow under the cover of the crowd, and squeezed an arrow in his hand, hiding in the broken room. Under the cloth robe, he followed the crowd towards Lulongzhai.

  The Gongsun soldiers on Lulongzhai didn't pay any attention to it either. Their main attention was on the news that Wuzhong County was raided by Cao Jun, and they all whispered to each other, shocked enough by this sudden news.

  『Open the door! Hold back and get away...Masters, hurry up and open the door! 』

  The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. Cao Chun and others are almost standing under the wall of the village. The Gongsun Military Academy in Lulong Village is still shaking his head, "No! Can't open the door! Take a look at your awesome face...」

Cao Chun straightened up abruptly and raised his bow. The depression that had been suppressed in his chest for a long time due to the loss of Yuyang before, all the humiliation he had encountered in these days, and the fear that had come all the way, all followed at this moment. Shouting and spitting out: "Kill! Grab the village! 』

   Following Cao Chun's roar, an arrow shot out like lightning, and hit the face of Gongsun Military Academy in Lulongzhai!

  Among the astonishment of Gongsun soldiers in Lulongzhai, Gongsun Military Academy got an arrow in the head and fell backwards!

"kill! 』

  Accompanied by the loud shouts of Cao Chun and others, smoke and dust rose from the sky in the distance, and the Cao Jun cavalry behind shouted frantically and ran towards Lulongzhai!
