029 Wuhuan is here
"Lord, urgent reports came from the front line that Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun violated the border and plundered tens of thousands of people."
During the two months of occupying Ji County, Cao Zhi was busy dealing with various matters, surrendering troops in Shanggu County, transferring the political center of Dai County, reforming and processing of farm tools in the spring, and land reform in Youzhou...
There are too many things, and with the years of war, Youzhou is really a bit broken. Many places have to start from scratch, and it is great to start from scratch. You can splash ink at will, but this also means that you have to do a lot of things yourself.
Therefore, Cao Zhi never cared about the two major alien races, Wuhuan and Xianbei.
The Xianbei is fine, as Xun Chen said, he was caught in a civil war and had no time to argue with him.
But what Cao Zhi did not expect was that Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun actually invaded Youzhou on the grounds of avenging his brother-in-law Yuan Shang and even plundered the people.
"Tatun, he is so tired of living." A grinned at the corner of his mouth, and the smile between Cao Zhisen's white teeth contained great anger.
"Lord, the counties are a little stable now, and it is busy with farming, so it is not advisable to send troops." Ju Su advised him when he noticed the anger in Cao Zhi's eyes.
"Then let this guy rage at will?"
Shaking his head slightly, Cao Zhi did not agree with Ju Su's point of view. Ju Su believed that it was necessary to stabilize now. Youzhou had just calmed down and people's hearts were floating. If the movement was too big, chaos might occur.
But Cao Zhi believes that it is this time that he must show his own power.
Destroying the Wuhuan can allow those powerful clans to truly see their strength and learn how to be a human being with their tails. At the same time, they can also truly win the hearts of the grassroots people. In recent years, the Wuhuan has been in the border every year, and the people of Youzhou have long been unbearable.
"After the busy farming farming, I will not plan to mobilize the people, but will directly mobilize our 30,000 standing troops."
"Mr. Zhou Mu, 30,000 infantry fights tens of thousands of cavalry, the chances of victory are unpredictable. Moreover, the Wuhuan is different from the Xianbei. They have been influenced by the Han culture and know more about the methods of fighting formations. Thirty thousand troops are not enough." Hearing Cao Zhi's words, Qianzhao stood up and said.
The man with a white face and no beard was tall and mighty, but his small face was extremely handsome. He was one of the two generals Xun Chen went to Shanggu County to recruit surrender.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this man basically never appeared, but in history, this man was very capable and helped Cao Cao to pacify the Wuhuan and the Xianbei successively, and had a deep understanding of the alien races, so his words were very convincing.
Cao Zhi is not the kind of person who is self-righteous after winning several battles. Since professionals say that 30,000 is not enough, it may really not be enough.
"General Zijing, what are some clever plans?" Cao Zhi asked at Qianzhao.
Since Qianzhao said something, Cao Zhi believed that he must have his own complete plan.
"The trick is not to be said, but the general thought that the governor of the state can use the same trick again." After pausing, he opened his mouth, "Wuhuan is mainly entrenched in the three counties and counties of Liaodong, western Liaoning, and Youbeiping. Liucheng is the base camp. The general thought that the governor of the state can raid the city and attack Liucheng. The morale of the Wuhuan will inevitably be scattered and is eager to return to help. At that time, the general and others follow and chase after him. Set up an ambush in the Bailang Mountain area, which should be able to defeat Wuhuan."
"Bailang Mountain? Is there anything special about this place?"
Cao Zhi did not object to the raid on Liucheng, but what happened to Bailang Mountain?
He remembered that in history, Cao Cao also defeated Wuhuan on Bailang Mountain.
"White wolf mountain is full of white wolf, so it is called Bailang Mountain. The plains are connected to the mountains and is the only way for Wuhuan to withdraw its troops. It can not only restrict cavalry, but also exert its advantages as infantry, and is an excellent ambush place."
"Since it is a good ambush place, Tadun himself won't pay attention? Will you lie there?" Cao Zhi asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I will know a small path at the end and can quietly lead to Bailang Mountain." Qian Zhao said.
Nodding, this can be explained clearly.
Looking at Ju Su, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others, Cao Zhi said, "What do you think?"
"I also know that Bailang Mountain is here. If I can set up an ambush here quietly, I will have a chance to defeat Wuhuan." Nodded, Zhao Yun agreed.
"It's just that the lord wants to rush to Liucheng...it's difficult."
Zhao Yun gestured with his fingers about the road from Jixian to Liucheng. This road is not easy to walk, not the kind of road where cavalry can rush flat and rush around.
“You can go here.”
Cao Zhi didn't have a very detailed understanding of Youzhou's geography, but he had other ideas.
If you can’t walk on a normal road, then don’t walk!
Walk on the grassland!
Looking at the arc passing through the grassland that Cao Zhi gestured, Jia Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and his lord was really willing to take the road to the grassland.
"Lord, be careful to get involved in the Xianbei melee." Jia Xu reminded.
The rushing grasslands does not mean that you can just walk by. In many cases, it will cause many chain reactions.
Now, what we have to deal with is the Wuhuan. If Xianbei is brought in again, Jia Xu will feel that it is not worth it and will be very passive.
"Lord, although Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen have no time to take care of us, don't forget the Eastern Tribal Alliance near Yuyang. A few years ago, due to Gongsun Zan's iron-blooded suppression, they were extremely vigilant about the Han army and almost fought when they met." Xun Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Since the death of the previous generation of old Shanyu, the Xianbei region was divided into three major groups, two of which are Kebineng and Budugen. The Eastern Tribal Alliance, where countless small tribes gather together, is the third largest group.
"Can you send an envoy to lobby?" He raised his eyebrows. Cao Zhi really didn't know much about the situation on the grassland.
His idea was that I was passing by with my cavalry in a blink of an eye, what could you do to me?
But it seems that this is not the case when Jia Xu and Ju Su and others mean it?
"It should be OK to use gold, silver and wealth to lobby." Xun Chen said again after a silence.
"Then I'll give them some gold, silver and wealth." Cao Zhi spoke.
"Lord, the policies you implement now require money, and our money is not enough." Ju Su cried and became poor again.
Cao Zhi: “…….”
Seeing Cao Zhi silent, Zhang Liao turned to Qianzhao and said, "General Zijing, we also have thousands of cavalry. Can't we do anything to Wuhuan when we fight head-on?"
"Although I don't understand Wuhuan, I have absolute confidence in the heavy cavalry camp under my command."
Since its establishment, the Chongqi Camp has never truly demonstrated its power.
Zhang Liao felt that this was his opportunity.
He was also from a border. Although he had never known Wuhuan, he had fought with the Xianbei people. He was also a grassland nation. He didn't think there would be too much difference between the two sides.
As long as the heavy cavalry fights head-on, it will definitely be destroyed!
"Chongqi Camp?" Hearing this, Qian Zhao was slightly stunned as a newly surrendered general. He really didn't know the existence of the Chongqi Camp.
"Indeed, it's time to let the Chongqi Camp show its edge."
Nodding, Cao Zhi also had the same idea as Zhang Liao. Since the Chongqi Camp was formed, it naturally had to show its edge, otherwise what was the significance of spending such a large price to cultivate?
But he still has to do what he wants to rush to Liucheng.
