Horses of courses.

Gao Shun, whose family is in ruin, is absolutely extremely difficult if he wants to make a name for himself in the court.

But Zhang Liao also heard of Chen Xu, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, recruiting talents and seeking talents.

With Gao Shun's ability, if he defects to the Yellow Turban, he will definitely be able to get attention. So, it's hard for him to say anything.

Moreover, he also knows that Gao Shun has a resolute personality and is strict with himself, and he often says the same.

Once he made up his mind to do something, none of the nine cows could pull it back.

Then again, if Gao Shun wasn't this character, he wouldn't have left such a brilliant record in his short life in history.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

After Wang Yan took 10,000 elite soldiers and escorted the grain and grass to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, the Xianbei people had already retreated. In this way, the Yellow Turbans lost their opponents.

Faced with this situation, many soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army thought that they would withdraw their troops and return to the village of Taihang Mountain.

At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Army not only killed 2,000 Xianbei people, but also killed Xianbei Khan and Lian, and gained such great prestige.

In the face of such a brilliant result, Chen Xu will definitely withdraw his troops very happily.

However, the death of Li Guo and the five hundred Yellow Turban cavalry, as well as the brutality of the Xianbei people that Chen Xu had seen with his own eyes, made Chen Xu indignant in his heart.

If he goes back like this, he will not be reconciled!

After that, Chen Xu ignored Tian Feng's opposition and directly led 6,500 cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army to the north along the imperial river.

In Chen Xu's view, blood debt can only be washed away with blood. Besides, blindly being beaten passively is not his character.

Now Xianbei is divided, and the struggle for power and profit of the leaders of the Xianbei tribe has given the Yellow Turban Army a great opportunity.

The scenery outside the plug is vast and charming.

In the territory of Merge State and Youzhou, the population has become much sparser. As for the places outside the border of the Han Dynasty, they are even more vast and sparsely populated.

Due to the small population, there are no roads at all in many places. This makes it very easy for people to get lost when walking on the prairie.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his face, Zhao Huang patted his horse and came to Chen Xu and said, "Lord, as long as we keep going north along the Yuhe River, we can reach Nanchi." ”

"Then start from Nanchi, and drive more than 180 miles to the east, you can reach the Xianbei Wangting Danhan Mountain."

Yes, Chen Xu led his troops north this time precisely to attack Xianbei's Wang Tingdanhan Mountain.

In order to go south, Helian has gathered almost all the warriors in the tribe. Now that He Lian is dead, his subordinates will definitely be swallowed up by several other powerful Xianbei tribes.

Only by annexing Helian's men will those tribal leaders be able to occupy Dan Khan Mountain and compete for the position of the new Khan.

Helian's subordinates would never sit idly by and watch being swallowed up, so Chen Xu concluded that when all the Xianbei people withdrew from the Han border, a civil war would break out among them.

Before the end of this civil war, the Xianbei people of those big tribes would definitely not rush to Danhan Mountain. And the leaders of those small tribes did not have the courage to occupy Danhan Mountain.

So at this time, it is the time when Danhan Mountain is empty.

But the Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, even if He Lian took away many warriors from the tribe, the defense force of Danhan Mountain should definitely not be underestimated.

If it weren't for the fact that Helian had already died in battle, the Xianbei group of dragons would be leaderless. At this time, Chen Xu would never dare to attack Danhan Mountain easily.

Rao is like this, Chen Xu led the troops forward this time, and he also took a big risk.

On the grassland, there are no buildings, so the wind blows very strongly. Fortunately, it is summer now, and instead of feeling unwell, the Yellow Turbans have a cool feeling.

The horses galloped across the grassland, and they were very happy.

Tang Chen walked in front with some Yellow Turban Army, he suddenly raised his left hand, and all the Yellow Turban Army behind him stopped.

Tang Chen put his hand on the pergola, looked in the direction of the east, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Nanchi, we have arrived." ”

Nanchi is the Yellow Flag Sea of later generations. Huangqihai is an irregular triangle, about 20 kilometers long from east to west, 6.9 kilometers wide from north to south, and the lake area is about 110 square kilometers.

Due to the open terrain nearby, even if Nanchi was nearly two kilometers away from Chen Xu and the others, everyone could see the vast lake.

Zhao Huang pointed at Nanchi in the distance with a horsewhip, and said to Chen Xu: "Lord, that is Nanchi." I went all the way east from this direction, and if I was fast, I could reach the territory of Danhan Mountain in one day. ”

Hearing Zhao Huang's words, Chen Xu smiled. He went north this time, and he really didn't make a mistake.

According to the scout's report, the Xianbei people of the rest of the tribes really began to fight. They are at least five days away from Danhan Mountain.

"As long as Danhan Mountain is broken, even if all of us die on this grassland, it will be worth it!"

Chen Xu looked at the sky, sank into the dantian, and shouted loudly: "The whole army continues to advance, and if it runs east for three hours, it will set up camp!" ”

Presumably by now, those Xianbei people who were fighting in the melee may have already known the news of the Yellow Turban Army's northward movement.

Although they will fight among themselves, they definitely don't want to see Xianbei's Wang Tingdanhan Mountain broken by the Yellow Turban Army. Every day the Yellow Turbans spent on the grasslands increased their danger.

For the sake of today's plan, the Yellow Turban Army can only do its best to ensure its own safety by breaking through Danhan Mountain as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you let the rest of the warriors of the Xianbei tribe come. On the prairie, the 6,500 cavalry under Chen Xu was definitely not their opponent.

After three hours, the Yellow Turban Army was all sleepy. But they are much closer to Danhan Mountain. As long as it starts early tomorrow and noon, we will be able to rush to the territory of Danhan Mountain.

"My lord, there are a few small tribes ahead. In order to conceal the route of our troops, I suggested that we should bypass this place and camp in the rest of the position. ”

Hearing Zhao Huang's words, Chen Xu nodded. On the grassland, Zhao Huang and Tang Chen have more say than him.

The next day, when the sky was a little brighter, Chen Xu led the 6,500 Yellow Turban Army and continued to rush to Danhan Mountain. At noon, you can see the outline of Danhan Mountain in the distance.

Chen Xu carefully observed the location of Danhan Mountain, which was outside the Saiwai and still belonged to a location close to the south.

And this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is not too far from the secluded and two states. Therefore, the location of Danhan Mountain is definitely a good place.

Zhao Yun rode a horse and followed Chen Xu, his ears moved, and he suddenly said, "Lord, I seem to have heard the sound of shouting and killing." ”

Chen Xu was calm, and really heard the location of Danhan Mountain, and there were bursts of shouts and killings.

The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, because there was still some distance between this place and Danhan Mountain, so he didn't really hear it.

"Could it be that there are Xianbei people from other tribes who go to attack Danhan Mountain?"

Chen Xu frowned, puzzled in his heart.

He summoned Tang Chen and said to him, "You Ji, you have led a team of scouts to reconnoiter and see what is going on in Danhan Mountain. ”

Tang Chen did not refuse, and after receiving the order, he led some light horsemen to Danhan Mountain to investigate.

Watching Tang Chen and the others leave, Chen Xu shouted loudly to the Yellow Turban Army behind him: "The whole army dismounts and rests on the spot." Eat some dry food first, and then lead the war horse to forage for food. ”

……

In the Xianbei royal court of Danhan Mountain, the two groups of men and horses fought each other, and the shouts of killing continued.

There were many Xianbei women and children, all hiding in the tents, but there was not much fear on their faces.

For the Xianbei people, tribal battles are obviously very common. Since the news of the death of Xianbei Khan and Lian came back, the Xianbei women and children in Danhan Mountain knew that war would be inevitable.

In a war between the Xianbei tribes, the men of the defeated side either surrendered or were killed. But for women and children, Xianbei people are very tolerant.

In the eyes of the Xianbei people, women and children are the wealth of the tribe and the foundation of the tribe's future strength.

Even the most ferocious tribal leader will bring the women and children of the defeated side back to the tribe unharmed.

Xianbei women have no concept of starting from the beginning at all. For them, clinging to the strong is the best belonging.

So when they are snatched away by men from other tribes, they don't have any resentment or resistance. Instead, they will try to please those men and try to have children for them.

The law of the jungle, among the Xianbei tribes, is vividly interpreted.

"Damn, these people are the most hateful horse thieves in the grassland, not from other Xianbei tribes!"

On this side of Danhan Mountain, some Xianbei soldiers shouted loudly in Xianbei language.

When the women hiding in the tents heard the shouts of the Xianbei warriors, their faces showed fear.

If other Xianbei tribes came to conquer Danhan Mountain, then they and those children would be able to save their lives. But the opponent was replaced by a horse thief, and if the Xianbei people were defeated, they would face a bloody massacre.

It can be said that the horse thieves on the grassland are the enemies of all Xianbei people.

Not only would they slaughter unarmed women and children, but they would also attack Han caravans selling tea and salt from various tribes.

You must know that even the most vicious Xianbei people will not do these crazy things.

Because women and children represent hope and the future; Those Han caravans, however, were able to bring what the Xianbei people lacked.

Therefore, for Xianbei people, encountering horse thieves often means that they will not die.

"Damn, how can there be so many horse thieves?"

A Xianbei man who resembled a leader scolded loudly in a Xianbei tone.

Since horse thieves are the enemies of all Xianbei people, all horse thief gangs on the entire grassland will be wiped out by nearby tribes.

Therefore, horse thieves are often a team of dozens of people, and if they can gather hundreds of people, they will be considered powerful horse thieves.

But now, there are more than 4,000 horse thieves attacking Danhan Mountain, which is definitely a very incredible thing.
