Yes, the coalition army is not a hundred thousand, not a hundred thousand, not even a hundred thousand, but two hundred thousand.

The Xianbei chief Putou and the bald Xianbei leader Bald Pigu each led an army of 30,000, while the other three adults of the western Xianbei also led an army of 30,000 each, plus 10,000 horses from Dongqiang, and 40,000 troops from him and Qiangqu together, bringing the total strength to 200,000.

The Han people did not know about these things, because many troops were hidden in the shadows and were not detected by the Han scouts.

Twilight Gateing believed that when the entire army appeared on the battlefield, it would definitely give Li Yi a huge surprise.

Qiangqu suddenly coughed violently.

"Old man, are you still sick?" Twilight frowned and asked, "There's going to be a war soon, can your body hold it?" ”

Twilight and Qiangqu were originally good friends, but because of the incident eight years ago, the two good friends have since become hostile.

In the second year of Guanghe, the Han envoy Xiongnu Zhonglang made Zhang Xiu because of his discord with the Hu Zheng Shan at that time, and brutally killed the Hu Zheng Shan Yu.

As the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu, Du Gaiting was very dissatisfied with Qiangqu's groveling to the Han people, and Zhang Xiu, the murderous demon king, killed Shan Yu, whom the Huns themselves chose, which was a violation of the dignity of the Huns. Therefore, he did not hesitate to rebel and fight against the Han Chinese.

But as another big leader of the Huns, Youxian Wang Qiangqu actually succumbed to Zhang Xiu and became Shan Yu, which was undoubtedly a betrayal of the Huns in the eyes of Du Gaiting.

Therefore, in the following years, the two have been in a state of opposition, and there is no shortage of wars.

This time, he finally won, and with the help of the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people's army marching south, he won. The old guy in Qiangqu finally set things right. With him embarked on the right path to recovering the glory of the Huns.

Qiang Qu nodded, barely stopped coughing, and said worriedly: "Our whereabouts must have been exposed, otherwise the Han army would not have fled at night." Originally, we planned to take Wuzhou easily, but now it seems that it is no longer possible, and we will inevitably have to fight a fierce battle. ”

Dusketting said disapprehantly, "We suddenly appeared here, and the Han army was caught off guard, and it was definitely impossible to deploy troops in time. Do they know which city we are going to fight? ”

Twilight Gaiting smiled confidently, "Tomorrow, we will definitely be able to take Wuzhou." ”

Qiangqu thinks about it, and the army of 100,000 fights a small city. Even if it can't be done overnight, it won't take much effort. But then he thought of something and asked Dusk Gaiting, "Old man, will Li Yi rush to Mayi City in advance?" ”

………………

At the north gate of Mayi City, the torches are bright and bright as day. A thousand heavily armed Han soldiers walked out of the city gate and into the darkness.

Ding Yuan stood by the moat with a solemn expression.

Today after dark. Mu Guiying, the wife of the general of Zhenbei who went to meet the enemy outside the Saiwai, sent someone to send an urgent document, saying that the Hu army outside the Saiwai may have increased to 200,000 people, the Xianbei Lord in the west, Lu Ri and Yan Liyou, and the leader of the Eastern Qiang, Kuixian. The allied army of the Xiongnu Tu tribe leader Du Gaiting, totaling 110,000, suddenly appeared on the west bank of the river and is now crossing the river. In addition, the Southern Xiongnu rebelled in Luanti Qiangqu and led an army of 30,000 Xiongnu to join the Hu coalition army.

Mu Guiying asked Ding Yuan to immediately evacuate the residents of Mayi City. At the same time, the defending army was dispatched to immediately rush to Wuzhou City, which was closest to Mayi City, to defend against the enemy army.

"Father-in-law, the child has taken his leave." Bing Cao engaged in Lu Bu bowed and saluted, and said loudly. "When you go to Wuzhou, the people are in the city, and the people in the city are lost, and you will never take a step back."

Lu Bu was in his early thirties, wearing a white brocade robe, eight feet five inches tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, long arms and huge hands, and a handsome bronze face with sharp edges and corners, like a knife and an axe; The two thick eyebrows are pitch black and neat, without half a trace of messiness, like an ink painting knife cut; The bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are closed, and in the deep eyes are a pair of eyes that seem to be affectionate and ruthless, like warm and indifferent, and the silver light flashes, as sharp as a knife blade.

The Lu Bu family has been the generals of the Great Han State for generations. During the reign of Emperor Zhang, when the Northern Xiongnu invaded the territory of the Southern Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, Lü Bu's grandfather Lü Hao (then the captain of the Yue Cavalry of the Dou Xian Department) was ordered to stay in the border fortress. Lu Hao and his wife and children led the troops to station in Wuyuan County, located in the east of the Wufen Bridge of Taer Lake in Wuyuan County on the south bank of the Beihe River, built a large number of civil works, built cities and forts, opened up wasteland for farming, and gradually developed animal husbandry, textile industry, smelting and pottery industry, etc., and stuck to the border passes.

After the death of Lu Bu's grandfather, his father Lu Liang succeeded him and married his wife Huang, a native of Buhongwan in Wuyuan County, and the daughter of a wealthy family. Huang is smart and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and good at dyeing and weaving.

Huang had four daughters and suffered from having no children. One day, he went to the White Horse Temple with his husband to worship the Buddha and ask for a child. On the night of his return, Huang had a dream in which a fierce tiger pounced, and Huang urgently called her husband to fight him, but the tiger lay meekly beside him. Huang felt pregnant, and she did not give birth after 12 months of pregnancy, and she felt anxious.

Later, Huang moved to the dyeing and weaving workshop, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside. Everyone came out one after another, but saw the rainbow reflected in the sky above the northwest, dazzling, this scene was strange. Then the Wuyuan Mountains collapsed, and the earth shook and the mountains shook. Huang wanted to give birth, felt unwell, the pain in the abdomen was unbearable, the pelvis was swollen, the amniotic fluid overflowed, and it was difficult to walk an inch, lying on the cloth, and soon gave birth to a baby boy.

The birth of the baby boy was even more miraculous, but when he saw the umbilical cord cut off, his eyes were focused, his fists were clenched, and he stood in front of him, Huang was surprised, and hurriedly wiped off the dirt and held it in his arms. Later, he said that with her husband, Lu Liang's conscience was happy: "My son is also a god." "Because of the birth cloth, it was named Lu Bu.

Lu Bu has been painting with his mother since he was a child, he is smart and studious, he can understand a little, he never forgets, he is aggressive by nature, his strength is greater, he likes to dance with guns and sticks, his height and weight exceed ordinary people, children of the same age dare not play with him, and he looks away, only with the girl is docile and considerate, judging the two of them.

Lu Bu always likes to be with adults, asking this question and imitating learning. Since the age of five, he often herds horses in the wild with wranglers, and loves horses, as long as he sees a horse full of energy, he is very excited. He danced on his horse, and held a stick like a warrior, when he could stab pheasants and hares. At the age of seven, he rode alone in pursuit of the wild fox mountain deer, never returning empty-handed, often picking up foals several times heavier than him to play, sometimes lifting them above his head.

When he was nine years old, he went to Buhong Bay with his parents to meet his grandfather, who killed sheep to entertain him, and the adults caught sheep in the flock, but he went up to catch two of them, and the audience was amazed by this, and my grandfather was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately gave a good horse. Since then, Lu Bu has been accompanied by horses, carefully cooked, loves horses like crazy, and never leaves his crotch.

When he was eleven years old, the border people of the Hungarian and Han ethnic groups held a large-scale celebration in the White Horse Temple, and Lu Bu went with his father to participate. The aggressive Lu Bu, when watching the wrestling match, he saw that the wrestler had won many battles without an opponent, and he was not convinced, so he rushed into the arena alone, shouting: "I'll try!" ”

The wrestling winner saw that it was a boy, and he didn't take him seriously at all, and the two twisted together in an instant. After a few rounds of fighting, Lu Bu actually knocked the Hercules wrestler, who was several times taller and heavier than him, to the ground, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire arena, and people called him the Hercules prodigy. Since then, the Wuyuan area has become a household name, known to everyone, and proud.

In the fifth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei tribal military alliance expanded by force and carried out plundering wars against the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty border generals moved south, and at that time, Lu Bu withdrew south with his father to the territory of Yanmen County, and was attached to Ding Yuan's subordinates as the assassin of the state, and recognized Ding Yuan as his father-in-law.

Ding Yuan picked up Lu Bu with both hands, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, said a few words of encouragement, and then said: "After General Mu Guiying's cavalry army retreats to Wucheng, he will immediately send troops to Wuzhou to support. ”

Lu Bu nodded, signaling that he understood what Ding Yuan meant.

Lu Bu is an extremely proud person, who has fought against the Hu people in Bingzhou over the years, and has also made a lot of military achievements. In addition, he has excellent martial arts skills, and it is difficult to meet opponents in Bingzhou, and only two good brothers, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, can walk dozens of rounds in his hands, so he does not take the heroes of the world in his eyes.

Last time, the generals of Zhenbei led the army of Mu Guiying, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, and went out of Mayi to meet the Xianbei people.

Lu Bu knew that the other party was a general under the command of Li Yi, the world-famous general of Zhenbei, and he came to challenge him, and found that the martial arts of these three were extremely good. Especially Mrs. Mu, the general of Zhenbei, made him jealous of the rainstorm pear flower gun in one hand.

Lu Bu rarely convinces people, but after seeing the Rainstorm Pear Spear, he has to admit that purely in terms of skills, his Bafang Wind and Rain Halberd Method is not as good as the Rainstorm Pear Spear.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was already a married woman, and her husband was still the general of Zhenbei who guarded the northern frontier of the Han Kingdom, Lu Bu really wanted to pursue the other party. Because compared with Mu Guiying, who is both talented and beautiful, his vase-like wife is really more than a star and a half behind.

Lu Bu retracted the thoughts in his heart and thought about how to face the current situation.

Before Mu Guiying's reinforcements arrived in Wuzhou, there were only 1,000 soldiers and 300 people stationed in Wuzhou who defended Wuzhou. If the Xianbei people launched an attack on Wuzhou first, whether Lü Bu could lead these 1,300 people to defend until reinforcements arrived was directly related to the safety of Mayi City and the lives of all Han soldiers guarding Wucheng and Luo County.

Ding Yuan said: "Fengxian, it's not a matter of your presence in the city, but that you have to defend until reinforcements come." ”

Lu Bu took his clothes and knelt down, bowed down and said: "Please rest assured, the child swears to defend Wuzhou to the death, even if he fights to the death, he will never let a Hu person climb the wall of Wuzhou." ”

Ding Yuan praised loudly: "Good! ”

Lu Bu said again: "After the child died in battle, I asked my father-in-law to write a letter to my mother, saying that I, Lu Bu, did not disgrace my father!" (To be continued.) )
