241.Chapter 241: Killing Intent

At this time, what else will Chen Xu think about to dominate the industry? What else would you think about and merge with millions of people in the state?

Now he just wants to save the 40,000 besieged Bingzhou border troops, as well as several generals under his account.

"It's been a month since they lost contact, and when they left the jam, they didn't have any food or grass with them. If, during the period of siege, the food and grass were exhausted, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel anxious.

As the saying goes: the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Now there is a shortage of grain and grass in the state, and it is impossible to resettle those millions of people, and it is simply impossible to raise the grain and grass for the army to go out.

Even if he didn't bring in so many people, Chen Xu wanted to go more than a thousand miles outside the Saiwai to rescue Zhao Yunren and others. The amount of money and food that needs to be consumed is still not something that the state can bear.

You must know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to attack the Xiongnu in the north, exhausted the wealth accumulated by the entire Han Dynasty for several generations, which made the heavens angry and resentful.

The current merger of states is far from being comparable with the national strength of the Han Dynasty at that time. Fortunately, Chen Xu has a definite goal for this expedition, and he only needs to rush to Wolf Juxu Mountain.

In this way, the amount of food and grass needed for the advance of the army can be greatly reduced.

Moreover, Xianbei gathered more than 100,000 horses, which is almost all the strength of the entire Xianbei. Chen Xu will not encounter too much trouble all the way north.

Finding a group of guides who were familiar with Saiwai, Chen Xu asked them in detail about the path to the north.

One of them said: "Wolf Juxu Mountain is the Han Hussar General Huo Quai, out of the Dai County more than 2,000 miles to engage with King Zuoxian, beheaded more than 70,000 Hu Lu, King Zuo Xian all escaped, Huo Hussar was sealed in Wolf Juxu Mountain." ”

"Wolf Juxu Mountain is located in the extreme north, more than a thousand miles north of the surrendered city."

The wolf dwells in Xu Mountain and the surrendered city, Chen Xu knows it. The 'Feng Wolf Juxu' referred to in later generations refers to the Western Han Dynasty's Huo Quai, a great victory in the north against the Xiongnu.

As for the surrendered city, it was built by Gongsun Ao of the Han Dynasty.

In 105 B.C., Uwei Shan of the Xiongnu died, and his son Shan Yu succeeded to the throne. In the winter of that year, the Xiongnu encountered heavy snowfall, and many livestock died of hunger and cold, so that the Xiongnu people were uneasy.

The Xiongnu's Zuo Dadu Lieutenant wanted to kill Ershan Yu Zhan Shilu to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and sent an envoy to the Han to ask for troops to respond. The Han Dynasty asked Gongsun Ao to build a surrendered city outside the fortress and garrison troops to meet the Zuo Dadu Lieutenant.

And sent Zhao Ponu to lead more than 20,000 cavalry out of Shuofang County to meet the Xiongnu's Zuo Dadu Lieutenant.

Unexpectedly, the captain was killed by Son Danyu. And Son Dan Yu led the army to attack the Han army led by Zhao Ponu. Zhao Ponu was captured on the way to retreat and surrendered to the Xiongnu.

After that, the surrendered city became a lonely city outside the Saiwai, and wars broke out here repeatedly between the Han and the Xiongnu. It was not until Wuzhu Liuruo was single in the surrender of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu generations were vassals to the Han Dynasty, and there was no war in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, and the surrendered city lost its role.

"From the surrendered city all the way north, you can reach the Wolf Juxu Mountain. But more than 400 miles north of the surrendered city, there was a great desert. ”

"There are often sandstorms in the desert, and the wind and sand obscure the sky. If you're not careful, your army can get lost and be buried in the desert. ”

Speaking of this, the guide hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "If the lord wants to go north from the surrendered city and attack the Wolf Juxu Mountain, please think twice." ”

The rest of the guides also echoed each other.

In the desert and grassland, the sky is often full of wind and sand, and the direction is difficult to distinguish. Even those Hu people who are outside the plug will often get lost. These guides, if they lead the state army through the desert, they are not at all sure.

Chen Xu thought for a moment, and his brows furrowed tightly. If the army does not go to the surrendered city, it must take a detour from other places to go to the Wolf Juxu Mountain. In this way, the distance forward will be more than 2,000 miles.

Now the entire state has been taken away by Zhao Yun. Just relying on foot soldiers to run for 2,000 miles, they may not have reached Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the besieged army of Wolf Juxu Mountain has been wiped out by the Xianbei people.

At this time, Chen Gong, who had not said a word, suddenly spoke: "Lord, to rescue Zilong, you don't necessarily have to run thousands of miles to go to Fengwolf Juxu Mountain. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is Uncle's plan?" ”

Now Chen Xu is already a little anxious, and when he hears Chen Gong's words, it seems that he has grasped the last straw.

Chen Gong looked at the guides, but was silent. Chen Xu came back to his senses at this time, waved his hand at them, and said, "You guys go down first." ”

Several guides did not dare to slack off, and after the salute was over, they hurriedly retreated.

Chen Gong saw that they were all leaving, so he spoke: "Does the lord know about Wei Wei to save Zhao?" ”

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and then showed a happy look on his face. Now Xianbei gathered the strength of the whole clan and besieged Wolf Juxu Mountain. Then there must be a great emptiness among these tribes.

If at this time, Chen Xu led his troops to attack these tribes, and everywhere he passed, he would be slaughtered. Then after the news reached Wolf Juxu Mountain, the leaders of the Xianbei tribe who besieged Zhao Yun and others would definitely panic and retreat to protect their tribe.

In this way, the danger of the wolf dwelling in Xu Mountain will be solved naturally.

It was only at this time that a bright smile appeared on Chen Xu's face.

Before the smile on his face could be put away, he saw Tian Feng striding in with fluffy hair and blood-red eyes.

Far away, Tian Feng shouted loudly: "What the public platform said is right, as long as you use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, the danger of the wolf living in Xu Mountain will be naturally lifted." ”

"However, if you use foot pawns outside the fortress, you will not only be slow to move, but you will also be unable to travel long distances. If the lord sends troops outside the fortress, he can only take 1,500 traps with him. ”

Chen Xu felt a little guilty when he saw Tian Feng's appearance. After hearing his words, he suddenly woke up. The Xianbei tribes outside the fortress are empty, if they don't take the opportunity to run thousands of miles and slaughter everywhere, there will definitely be no way to make the Xianbei people in Wolf Juxu Mountain retreat.

To do this, you have to use cavalry. But now there are only 1,500 trapped camps left, and they are equipped with war horses.

Moreover, these 1,500 people, they belong to the hoplites, in order to react quickly, Chen Xu allocated two war horses to each person.

The combat effectiveness of the trapped camp should not be underestimated. But only leading this bit of people out of the jam, Chen Xu was a little unsteady in his heart.

thought of the current predicament of merging states, and at the beginning, he only led three and a half thousand and a half hanged cavalry, and he dared to run across the Han Dynasty and kill Huangfu Song. Chen Xu's arrogance suddenly rose and his blood boiled.

He said loudly, "Then, I will only lead 1,500 camps out of the fortress!" ”

It was only at this time that a smile appeared on Tian Feng's face. As long as Chen Xu does not send an army, Bingzhou can barely support it at present. If the foundation does not fall, he will have a chance to make a comeback one day.

Tian Feng continued to offer advice: "The lord can give an order to the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo to recruit 5,000 cavalry again. In this way, the lord could lead 6,500 people out of the fortress. Even if you encounter the super tribe of Xianbei, you have the power to fight. ”

Chen Xu was a little stunned and asked: "Now that Hu Chuquan and the 10,000 Hun cavalry are alive and dead, the life and death are unknown, will Yu Fuluo send cavalry to help in the battle?" ”

Tian Feng laughed loudly and said, "It is precisely because of this that he will definitely send troops to help in the war." ”

Feeling Chen Xu's doubts, Tian Feng explained: "The Xiongnu first had civil strife, with countless casualties. Later, the lord sent Zilong and Guofu to kill more than 20,000 Hun rebels, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Huns. ”

"If this time, Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu Chuquan, and the 10,000 Hun cavalry, died in another battle. Then the entire Xiongnu will become a small tribe that is dispensable. ”

"All this is not what the Xiongnu Yuvro wants to see. Therefore, he will do his best to help the lord rescue Zilong and them. ”

After listening to Tian Feng's explanation, Chen Xu suddenly realized. If he led 1,500 camps, plus 5,000 Hun cavalry, Chen Xu was confident that he would be able to turn the entire Saiwai upside down.

In the past few days, the tense atmosphere in Jinyang City has eased a little.

Guan Hai, Zhang Yan, and Yang Feng were summoned by Chen Xu, and they looked at the empty conference hall, and their hearts were a little up.

Now they have defected to Bingzhou, and they are both prosperous and lossy with Chen Xu. If the state is really defeated this time, I am afraid that it will become sluggish from now on.

Several people stayed in the council chamber, each with their own thoughts. It didn't take long for them to see Chen Xu appear with Tian Feng and Chen Gong.

They hurriedly stepped forward to salute Chen Xu, and when they finished saluting, Chen Xu didn't speak, just focused on the three of them.

The three of them were stared at by Chen Xu a little hairy, but they didn't dare to speak, so they had to stand aside and bow their heads and say nothing.

After a long time, Chen Xu suddenly sighed and said to the three of them: "Now that the state is worried and the state is in trouble, I summoned you here, but when I encountered this kind of thing, I really felt uneasy. ”

"It has come to this, if you want to abandon me, you will not stop me. Even all the soldiers and horses under your command can be taken with them. ”

When several people heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all hurriedly crawled on the ground and said: "Since we have defected to the lord and should live and die with the state, how can we leave the lord at this time?" ”

Carefully observing the expressions of several people, as if they were not fake, Chen Gong and Tian Feng nodded slightly. The killing intent in Chen Xu's heart calmed down a bit.

The three of them are all newly annexed to the state, and their soldiers and horses are combined, with a total of 60,000 people, accounting for more than half of the current army in the state.

When Chen Xu was there, he could still deter a few people. If Chen Xu goes to Saiwai, once these people have different aspirations, then the entire state will no longer be surnamed Chen.

It was Chen Xu who gathered the three of them together and tested them. If the three of them hesitated slightly, Chen Xu would let the knife and axe hand come in and chop a few people into meat sauce.

At this time, in order to relieve his worries, Chen Xu couldn't take care of any morality.
