The cold wind is blowing, and the morning in early winter is particularly cold.
Especially in Xiliang, which is located in the northwest, this winter seems to be much colder than usual.
Wearing black armor, Xiao Yu stood on the high general platform, his eyes coldly scanning the 70,000 Xiliang elite cavalry and 30,000 new Xiliang cavalry, a total of 100,000 people.
In front of the uniform team, there stood ten-man captains, one-hundred-man captains, one thousand-man captains, ten thousand-man generals and a group of cavalry doctors with superb medical skills carefully planned by Xiao Yu!
It can be said that since arriving in Xiliang, Xiao Yu has been planning the current moment all the time.
For the foreigners, for the nation known as the Grassland Eagle that has oppressed the Han people for nearly a hundred years. Xiao Yu has unparalleled resentment in his heart!
"Now, the grassland bandit who has oppressed the Han people for nearly a hundred years is attacking Bingzhou with a large army, attacking the place where the Han people have lived for generations! Once Bingzhou is conquered, the entire Central Plains will soon face the wanton trampling of the Huns' cavalry! Who are you? What nation¡¯s blood is shed? Can we tolerate the Huns once again treating the Han people as their own back garden?¡±
"No!" Xiao Yu just finished speaking. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience shouted angrily.
In addition to undergoing hellish training every day, they also have to undergo brainwashing work specially set up by Xiao Yu!
Therefore, in their minds, Xiao Yu is believed by them like a god!
"Now pick up the wine bowl in your hands and drink it in one gulp. This glass of wine may be your last glass of wine in this life, but. A man should do something in this world and not do something. Pick it up. Do it!" Xiao Yu The last sentence, using all his inner strength, burst out from his mouth like a lion's roar!
After drinking, Xiao Yu slammed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground. What was the sound when a hundred thousand soldiers in the audience threw the wine bowls in their hands to the ground?
The whole ground seemed to be shaken, and even the horses beside them were raised to the sky and neighed by the huge throwing sound.
"Get on your horse!"
Xiao Yu stepped down from the podium and picked up his Overlord Halberd. Throwing the last words aside, he galloped off.
There are one hundred thousand horses here, one hundred thousand! ! ! Xiao Yu has spent more than half of his financial income on these precious horses over the years. For these horses, Xiao Yu ignored the opposition of many civil and military subordinates and resolutely ordered to collect good horses from all over the country. Some spent a lot of money to buy top-quality horses from all over the Western Regions for breeding! Multiple horse breeding bases have been purchased!
And every horse is equipped with double stirrups and horseshoes!
Huang Yueying was not taken along by Xiao Yu this time, not only because it was not appropriate for women to appear in the army, but also.
Xiao Yu knew something about Huang Yueying in history, and knew that many of Zhuge Liang's inventions, formations, and some strategies came from Huang Yueying.
Therefore, Xiao Yu wants to keep Huang Yueying in Xiliang to help Ma Teng guard it, and arranges for Mi Heng to keep in touch with the Yueshi at all times and urge them to send troops as soon as possible. Block the Xiongnu and Xianbei armies. Xiao Yu didn't hope that Yuezhi could defeat them, as long as he could wait a little longer.
This time, Xiao Yu did not bring the rear baggage, but brought half a month of food and grass with the army. He planned to end this war in as little as half a month.
Because once time passes, Xiao Yu¡¯s implementation of the Central Plains plan will not be used. Although time will be the greatest disadvantage to the Huns, Xiao Yu still hopes to truly use the strength of the Han people to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the Huns at this moment!
"Reportto the Great Khan, the head of the Han cavalry leader is here." The Xiongnu Chanyu was inside the Huchuquan tent. A Hun soldier who looked like an executioner ran in. He presented the bloody head to Huchuquan with a smile on his hand.
Looking at the head that was already stained red with blood, the smile on Hu Chuquan¡¯s face grew thicker.
Standing up, Hu Chuquan walked slowly down from the seat. After looking at the head for a long time, he asked: "But this big man no, what is the name of the Xiliang general?"
"Back to the Han Dynasty, according to our spies, this general from Xiliang seems to be named Zhao Yun. He is the fourth sworn brother of Xiao Yu, the governor of Xiliang. He and Xiao Yu grew up together, and the two of them are more than full brothers. and!"
"Oh? Is what you said true?" Hu Chuquan was overjoyed after hearing this. I asked loudly in disbelief.
The executioner did not dare to delay and replied loudly: "The villain dare not deceive Shan Yu. This Xiliang general is indeed Xiao Yu's fourth sworn brother!"
"Haha Okay! Okay! Okay!" After receiving the confirmation, Huchuquan was overjoyed and Fangsheng burst into laughter.
After a long time, Huchuquan stopped smiling and looked atThe lieutenant general said: "Immediately send someone to send Zhao Yun's head to Yanmen Pass tomorrow! Give Xiao Yu a message for me, just say it. Kill Zhao Yun first, and kill all Xiao Yu's brothers one by one! After breaking through Yanmen Pass, Kill all the Xiliang soldiers!"
"Yes!" After Huchuquan gave his instructions, a Huns man who looked like an envoy stood up. He bowed and responded with a smile.
The second day, on top of the Yanmen Tower. Zhao Yu, accompanied by Guan Hai and others, inspected various defensive measures!
"Report! Report to the mistress and the general. There is a Huns envoy 2 miles outside the city to deliver something. Now we are waiting for news outside the city!"
"Well? The Huns are sending something at this time? Second uncle, in your opinion, do they have any purpose in coming here this time?" After hearing this, Zhao Yu felt puzzled. I can't help but ask Guan Hai next to me!
Guan Hai also looked outside the city in confusion and said: "Sister-in-law, since the Huns dare to come, why don't we dare to respond? Send an order to have the Huns envoy come and see my sister-in-law!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the ordering soldier quickly ran down the tower and conveyed the order.
After a while, a small group of Huns ran over quickly under the leadership of the messenger.
"This is a gift from our Great Chanyu to your lord. Let your lord come out and pick up the gift from our Great Chanyu!" As soon as the Xiongnu envoy climbed up the tower, he looked at everyone with contempt. When he saw the stunningly beautiful Zhao Yu . After staring blankly for a long time, he came back to his senses amidst Zhao Yu's angry snort, and then put on an expression as if he was the best in the world. Looking at Zhao Yu, he said loudly.
As soon as the Xiongnu envoy finished speaking, all the Xiliang soldiers upstairs angrily pulled out the Qin swords in their hands.
Guan Hai stopped everyone with a livid face. He said loudly: "This is my mistress. My lord is not feeling well today. It is not appropriate to see you. If you have any questions, just tell my mistress directly!"
After listening to Guan Hai's words, the envoy looked at Zhao Yu with his lustful eyes for a long time and said, "Are you Xiao Yu's wife?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Yu snorted angrily and said, "How can my husband's name be something that only a despicable dog slave like you can bark? If you don't change your words, I'll be careful not to protect your dog's head!"
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the soldiers who had just been suppressed by Guan Hai drew their Qin swords again and surrounded him, and murderous intent suddenly spread out.
Naturally not to be outdone, the Huns also pulled out the scimitar from their waists and looked at Zhao Yu!
On top of the city tower, it suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, Guan Hai's eyes immediately widened. The Hun envoy took a few steps back involuntarily, his face gradually turning red!
"Don't be ungrateful, tell me your intention quickly, otherwise I will keep your stupid head!" Guan Hai narrowed his eyes again and said calmly,
"Ahem" The Huns envoy coughed a few times with a flushed face, forcing himself to suppress the injured internal organs that were rolling in his chest! He said: "Our great danyu ordered me to give you a gift." After saying that, a Huns cavalry behind him handed a wooden frame to Guan Hai, and then said: "And my great chanyu asked me to bring a message to Xiao. Yu, my eldest brother Shanyu said that he should kill Zhao Yun first and kill all Xiao Yu¡¯s brothers one by one! After breaking Yanmen Pass, kill all the Xiliang soldiers! What I am giving you now is Zhao Yun¡¯s head. I will give it to you next time. It¡¯s Xiao Yu¡¯s head!¡±
Guan Hai took the wooden frame and opened it. When he heard what the Huns envoy said, his hands trembled and the wooden frame fell to the ground.
When Zhao Yu heard that his brother had been killed by the Xiongnu Chanyu, his delicate body was shocked. Tears fell instantly.
All the Xiliang soldiers on the city tower were shocked.
At this time, Guan Hai's eyes were probably the biggest in his life, and the blood red in his eyes was almost as red as that of Xiao Yu who was furious.
¡°Brother¡ª¡ª¡± Zhao Yu shouted and quickly squatted down. He held the head that fell to the ground with both hands, tears already flowing down his cheeks.
"I'll kill you!" Zhao Yu suddenly shouted, pulled out the Qin knife from Guan Hai's waist and stabbed the Huns envoy fiercely. Then he pulled out Qin Dao fiercely. Then he stabbed the Hun cavalry who came with the Hun envoy.
In the blink of an eye, all the Huns were lying in a pool of blood one by one!
"Cang¡ª¡ª" With a sound, the Qin Dao in Zhao Yu's hand fell to the ground, making a sharp sound.
The figure staggered a few times.
Guan Hai suddenly faced Zhao Yudao, who was trembling and crying. "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious and sad, this person is not your fourth brother!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yu turned around and glanced at Guan Hai doubtfully.
Then he knelt down and picked up the head. He uncovered Toru's face, which was covered by hair. Sure enough, this person is not Zhao Yun. But Tieniu who died for Zhao Yun!
"No! Second uncle, you are wrong. This person is my brother."??, can¡¯t I even recognize my own brother? "Zhao Yun was stunned as he looked at the head. Suddenly he stood up sadly, blinked at Guan Hai and said.
Taking Zhao Yu's hint, Guan Hai said in disbelief: "What? Is what my sister-in-law said true? This, is this really the fourth brother?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded, then staggered down the tower with the head in his arms!
"You're a thief in Chuchuquan! I, Guan Hai, will kill you to avenge your fourth brother!" Guan Hai suddenly raised his arms and shouted loudly. The veins on his arms immediately swelled.
"I swear to kill Huchuquan to avenge General Zhao!" All the soldiers behind him pulled out the Qin sword from their waists. Screaming loudly in pain.
On this day, the news that Zhao Yun was killed by the Xiongnu Chanyu immediately spread throughout Taiyuan County!
Even Taishi Ci, Zhang Fei and others who were secretly stationed elsewhere almost wanted to personally ask the army to go to the grassland and fight to the death with the Huns. If it weren't for the letter that Guan Hai arrived later. Relying on Zhang Fei's temper, he really knows how to kill!
