On the vast prairie, Chen Xu was silent for a long time after receiving the battle report from Wolf Juxu Mountain.

With 20,000 foot soldiers, he blocked the attack of more than 100,000 Xianbei cavalry. Then with 20,000 cavalry, he attacked overnight and beheaded countless people. Such a war report sounds completely like a myth.

For a while, even Chen Xu couldn't help but admire: "This is a victory that can't be replicated at all!" ”

In the history of the Three Kingdoms that Chen Xu is familiar with, I am afraid that only the battle of Xiaoyaojin, the battle in which Zhang Liao broke 100,000 Wu troops, can be compared with the great victory on Wolf Juxu Mountain.

Compared with the strength of the two sides, Sun Quan in history led an army of 100,000 to besiege Hefei, while Wei only had 7,000 soldiers and horses at that time.

In terms of the comparison of troops, it seems that Zhao Yun has more troops in Wolf Juxu Mountain. But when it comes to combat effectiveness, the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei cavalry far exceed the 100,000 Wu army.

Wu Jun has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and is good at water warfare, so how can he compare with the wolf-like Xianbei cavalry for land warfare?

In this way, although Zhao Yun had an army of 40,000, the pressure they faced was not necessarily much worse than that of the Wei army at that time.

Other than that, the two battles are very similar. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were both besieged by the enemy's army, and they both took advantage of the enemy's retreat to pursue the enemy with their tails, winning more with less, and breaking the enemy army.

Although there are many similarities between the two battles, Zhao Yun's victory this time is far more than the Wu army killed by Zhang Liao in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin in history.

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Xu looked at Chen Jing carefully and sent him another secret message.

The secret report reads: I know that my eldest brother is an upright man, and I must be furious when I hear that my husband used human flesh as military rations. Mr. Ran's original intention was for the survival of my state.

The gentleman did not hesitate to bear the infamy, but also risked the condemnation of the world to do such a thing. The brother must know the loyalty of the gentleman.

This time, even if everyone has a grudge against Mr., Mr. is also trying his best to plan. That's why we have achieved such a great victory. Make me and the voice of the state army prestige, and my reputation will be known outside the country.

The troubled times have come, since the eldest brother is meritocracy, how can he investigate the fault of Mr.? What the younger brother said may be biased, and the stakes are at stake, and the elder brother is asked to make his own decision.

After reading Chen Jing's secret letter, Chen Xu was silent for a long time, and then threw the letter into the brazier.

He looked up at the west and whispered, "Those who know me, Ah Jing is also." ”

Subsequently, Chen Xu took the captured booty, met with Zhao Yun and them, and rushed to the west.

In addition, Chen Xu asked people to send good news to Jinyang, and at the same time asked Chen Gong to dispatch 50,000 horses and horses from the Baibo Army, Taishan Army, and Qingzhou Army to respond.

The war is over, the Hu people are cold, and it is the time for Bingzhou to reap the rich results.

These 50,000 newly built soldiers and horses, although they are far from being comparable, the elite of the Bingzhou Army formed by Chen Xu can also serve as a façade.

After all, this war, although the state won a big victory. But they themselves have suffered heavy losses. If the surviving Xianbei people are unwilling and send troops to attack, the state army will be in danger.

If 50,000 soldiers and horses go out of the state, they will join Chen Xu, Zhao Yun and others. Then the Xianbei people must be afraid of the prestige of the state army and dare not act rashly.

Dispatching these people out of the jam, Chen Xu also had another idea, that is, to let them come and carry the loot.

Since I learned that the danger of Wolf Juxu Mountain has been lifted. Although Chen Xu still led troops to attack the tribe of the Xianbei people, he would not slaughter indiscriminately.

Just like that time in Danhan Mountain, Chen Xu snatched the young and beautiful woman in the Xianbei tribe. and slew the young men, and the children who were taller than the wheels.

As for the remaining old people and children, Chen Xu left them to fend for themselves. If a tribe were willing to take them in, it would be a heavy burden on that tribe.

If no one wants to take them in, they will freeze to death or starve to death.

For a moment, Chen Xu also felt a little unbearable. But wars between peoples are so cruel. The current merger states have no ability to slowly assimilate these Xianbei captives.

Only by using such cruel means can Xianbei dare not and has no ability to invade the state again within a few decades.

In this way, the annex state will have a solid rear.

is a little different from the last time in Danhan Mountain: this time, Chen Xu did not kill those countless cattle and sheep. Instead, let the Xianbei woman help drive the cattle, sheep and horses and walk on the grassland.

Wherever the state army passed, the Xianbei tribes who had received the news in advance began to migrate north. And the state army was busy meeting divisions, and there were too many booties, so they didn't have the energy to disperse their forces to pursue.

Guan Hai followed closely behind Chen Xu and said regretfully: "We can only wait until the army of Bingzhou arrives before we can continue to pursue those tribes!" ”

Today, outside the Saiwai, the wind and the sun are beautiful. As far as the eye can see, the vast white area of the grassland is full of cattle and sheep.

On this day, Chen Xu finally met with Zhao Yun and others. They only need to stay here for a few days, and the state's 50,000 troops will also arrive.

When Chen Xu looked at the Bingzhou army, which had lost more than half, he sighed. However, the results achieved by the annexation of the states this time, as well as the huge amount of materials captured, were able to make up for the losses of the annexation.

After meeting with all the generals, Chen Xu ordered to set up camp.

That night, Cheng Yu quietly came to Chen Xu's tent and asked him for his guilt.

Looking at Cheng Yu, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, Chen Xu felt a little blocked in his heart. He pulled Cheng Yu up and said, "The military advisor is trying to lure the Xianbei people so as to drag their main force. ”

"This is the fake news that Xianbei human flesh is used to make military rations, what is the crime of Mr.?"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then knocked on the ground with his forehead, thanking him.

On the second day, the soldiers of the entire camp were explained by Chen Xu: I conspired with Mr. Zhongde to arouse the anger of the Xianbei people with human flesh first, so that they would gather their army at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain.

Only in this way can I lead the army to defeat the Xianbei tribes one by one.

The Xianbei tribe was attacked, and the Hu people must have been in a state of confusion and retreated in a hurry. At that time, the soldiers in the wolf Juxu Mountain, and then sent troops to pursue, they would be able to break Xianbei.

From beginning to end, the use of human flesh as military food is a fiction used to lure the Xianbei people. In the future, if anyone dares to slander Mr. Cheng with this, he will not be spared!

Regarding Chen Xu's explanation, how many people believe it, Cheng Yu doesn't care. What he cares about is Chen Xu's attitude towards him.

Chen Xu tried his best to defend him, and he couldn't help but have a feeling of 'the one who is a confidant dies'.

Outside the city of February, it is still bitterly cold.

Countless cattle and sheep have brought a lot of troubles to Chen Xu. The grass has not yet grown, and with the manpower under Chen Xu's account, it is impossible to collect enough hay to feed them.

Chen Xu summoned Cheng Yu and asked him for advice.

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, what is my original intention of sending troops outside the fortress this time? ”

Chen Xu replied: "Grain, grass, and property." ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Now in front of us, there is an inexhaustible supply of grain, grass, and meat, what is the lord still worried about?" ”

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

That's right, the living cattle and sheep have to eat grass and drink water, which will become a heavy burden for the state army. If you kill them all and make them into cured meat, not only will you not consume any more forage, but it will also be easier to transport.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xu said: "The sheep can be killed, but those cattle are best brought back to Bingzhou." ”

"Now that the population of the state has exploded and countless wastelands have been reclaimed, the officials of various counties have been complaining about the lack of cattle. Now that he has grabbed so many cattle, he should take them back as farming cattle. ”

Cheng Yu replied: "What the lord said is good. However, most of the cattle on the steppe are beef and dairy cows, and they cannot be used as farming cattle at all. ”

"As for the flock, it is foolish to think that it cannot be completely killed."

"The land is vast and sparsely populated, and many places are not suitable for farming, but they can be grazed. The lord can leave some strong rams, as well as high-quality ewes, to bring back to the state and develop animal husbandry. ”

"And this time outside the army, the Xiongnu tribe also paid a great price, and the lord must not be rewarded. They are also mainly grazing, and if they can get the cattle and sheep rewarded by the lord, they must be grateful. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu nodded secretly. For the handling of messy affairs, Cheng Yu is far better than him.

In the end, Chen Xu directly threw all these things to Cheng Yu. He himself ran to the barracks to keep in touch with the generals.

As soon as Chen Xu came to the barracks, he found that almost all the generals were gathered together.

Guan Hai pulled his loud voice and talked about the brilliant achievements of the trapped camp: "1,500 trapped in the camp, against 8,000 Xianbei cavalry, only six people were seriously injured, seventy-four people were lightly injured, and no one died. ”

"I never thought that an army would be so strong!"

Guan Hai's expression ability is not good, but it also makes the generals listen to the blood boiling. Only Hu Chuquan didn't believe it, thinking that Guan Hai was blowing nonsense.

He stiffened his neck and said: "No matter how powerful the trapping camp is, it is just some infantry, how can it be compared with our elite cavalry?" ”

Guan Hai was furious when he saw that Hu Chuquan, a barbarian, dared to question his words.

He pointed to Hu Chuquan and said, "I am upright and never tell lies. If you dare to question me, do you dare to compete with me on the school field? ”

Hu Chuquan is a Hun and is originally a brave and ruthless person. Although he was afraid of the fierce generals in the Bingzhou army, he was not afraid of the stupid big man in front of him.

Hu Chuquan spat on the ground and said viciously: "Our Hun warriors have never been afraid of other people's challenges. ”

After finishing speaking, he was going to have a competition with Colonel Guan Hai.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a dry cough sounded. The generals turned their heads to look and found that it was Chen Xu who had come, so they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. ”

He looked at Guan Hai and Hu Chuquan and said to them, "In a few days, we will go to raid the Xianbei tribe again, you should take the opportunity to take a good rest." ”

When the two heard Chen Xu's words, they didn't dare to refute it, and Nuo Nuo said yes.
