Chapter six twenty nine
November 10th year of Jian'an.
A team of Xianbei cavalry with a size of thousands stolen by the Youzhou border defense and came to Gaoxian, Xuantu County.
After burning, killing, looting and looting, more than ten villages in Gaoxian County were robbed, and hundreds of innocent people died tragically under the butcher knife of the Xianbei cavalry.
Bai Luo, the Liaodong garrison general who received the news, hurriedly led his army to Xuantu County for rescue. However, when he arrived, he saw broken walls, unburned houses and corpses all over the ground.
Such a tragic scene, even on the cruel battlefield, rarely encountered. Bai Luo immediately organized five thousand cavalry troops to leave Xuantu County, pursued the group of Xianbei cavalry, and sent fast horses to report the matter to Guan Yu, who was stationed in Ji County.
Bai Luo pursued for several days, but no trace of the Xianbei cavalry was found, so he had to return temporarily. At this time, Guan Yu also received Bai Luo's letter. As soon as he ordered all the cavalrymen in the camp to gather in Ji County, and at the same time, he quickly reported to Yang Fan and the war in Youzhou.
On the first day of December of the tenth year of Jian'an.
Yang Fan, who had just led his army back to Jinyang, received a war report that Youzhou was invaded by the Xianbei people.
On this day, Yang Fan summoned his civil and military officials to discuss matters.
"Tell me! The Xianbei people went south to invade the border, destroyed 16 villages, killed more than 6,000 people, and stole more than 5,000 stones of food!" Yang Fan's face was expressionless, and the battle report in his hand was smashed hard on the table by him.
Yang Fan rarely gets angry. Even when Zhao Yun fought in Liangzhou and lost his troops, Yang Fan never got angry. Now, this incident has made Yang Fan angry.
The scene became silent, and Xi Zhong took the lead and suggested: "Lord, for several years, the Xianbei people have never attacked the border again. This year, they suddenly went south and attacked Xuantu County, the easternmost part of Youzhou. According to the following point, their purpose is two, one is to test the attitude of our army and the other is to plunder food."
Xun Yu stepped out and said, "If our army does not fight back, the Xianbei people will launch a large-scale invasion south next! However, the terrain north of Youzhou is mostly flat and endless. If our army goes on a war, it will have no advantage over our army in terms of geographical advantages!"
Yang Fan asked softly: "How many cavalry are there in various units of our army?"
Xi Zhong was stunned when he heard this. He knew that Yang Fan had made up his attention and quickly replied: "The cavalry troops in each battalion are Pan Feng's army in Beidaying, Yufuluo's army in Dongdaying, Zhang Xiu's army in Xidaying, Lu Bu's army in Nandaying, Chen Dao's army in Zhongdaying, and the two schools under the lord's command!"
"Where is Zhang Yan?" Yang Fan asked in a head-on manner: "Aren't you let the Black Mountain Legion be formed? There are no cavalry under Zhang Yan's command?"
Xi Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "The Heishan Legion has all been transformed into mountain combat corpses to prepare for the attack on Jiangdong, Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Now they are training in the army in Heishan! There are cavalry troops, but most of them are used for reconnaissance and there are no established combat cavalry."
Seeing that Yang Fan was silent, Xun Yu knew that his lord must be considering sending troops. He suggested: "Lord, it's December now, heavy snow is blocking the sky, and the road is difficult to move forward, and the Xianbei people will not come again! Our army has enough time to arrange it, so there is no need to rush to this moment!"
"Haha, autumn is high and horses are fat!" Yang Fan shook his head and said, "Autumn is the time when war horses are fattest. That is, the Xianbei people have never invaded the south. Now that winter is coming, they are here! Why? Have you ever thought about the key?"
Guo Jia analyzed: "It is not difficult to guess this situation. The Xianbei people's Kebineng tribe is the leader of the Xianbei tribe who has risen on the grassland in recent years. He has 70,000 or 80,000 people under his command. However, in the autumn, when the Xianbei people had the strongest combat power, they had never gone south to invade the border. This shows that Kebineng was also afraid of our army's revenge! But why did they make a move to test our army in November? It can be seen that someone must have looked at Kebi.
If we can reveal the situation of our army hoarding food and grass in Youzhou, we can guess that only food can impress Ke Bineng and let him go south despite the danger of our army's revenge! However, even so, Ke Bineng was very cautious. He just sent a small-scale cavalry to test the bottom line of our army! If our army does not counterattack, we dare to conclude that after next year's autumn harvest, the Xianbei Ke Bineng troops will definitely go south in large numbers!"
Xun You continued: "What Fengxiao said is reasonable. The people who hope that we will fight against the Xianbei people the most are Cao Cao and Cao Mengde! Therefore, I guess that the sudden transition of the Xianbei people must be related to Cao Cao!"
Yang Fan turned to look at Jia Xu, showing a look of inquiry. Jia Xu hurriedly replied: "The important counselor under Cao Cao - Liu Ye, has been away from Xu County for a few months! However, the whereabouts are unknown."
"Haha!" Yang Fan thought for a while and said softly: "Those who offend me, who are strong and powerful, will be punished even if they are far away! General Chen's bold words back then are really thought-provoking! Now, how many years have passed! At first we could only defend passively. Now, there are more than 100,000 elite cavalry under our command. How could we be afraid of the Xianbei barbarians anymore?"
Yang Fan slowly stood up, and the rest of the people stood up and looked at Yang Fan, waiting for his orders.
Yang Fan glanced at the lobby full of talents and said heroically: "Now, I still say the same thing, 'Those who offend me and strong Han will be punished even if they are far away!' Xun Yu immediately asked the emperor to grant Zhang Liao the general of the Han Dynasty's northern expedition, and to transfer 20,000 cavalry from Zhang Liao and his subordinates to Ji County, Youzhou. Zhang Liao was the commander of the attack on the Xianbei this time, and transferred Dongdaying to Fuluo's army, Nandaying Lubu's army, Zhongdaying Chendao's army, and Xidaying Zhang Xiu's army, and ordered them to lead the army to Jixian County within two months, and then transfer Guo Jia and Xun You to Zhang Liao's army. During this period, all the food and military coordination will be coordinated by Xun Yu and assisted by Zhang Shiping. On the second day of the second month next year, the army will go to the Xianbei Kebineng!"
"We'll obey the order!"
Everyone was shocked and replied seriously.
Especially when Yang Fan said, "Those who offend me and strong Han will be punished even if they are far away!", the scene has risen to the struggle between the two nations. Now, after decades, the Han army has sent troops again. This is a sacred war, a war to defend national sovereignty, and a war for every Han people.
With Yang Fan's order, the territory controlled by the Yang family army was frequently mobilized, and cavalry galloped everywhere, and war horses were transported to Ji County, batches of arms were transported to Ji County, and bags of grain were transported to Ji County.
At the end of January of the eleventh year of Jian'an.
Zhang Liao held a ceremony to go on the expedition outside Youzhou, Guangyang County and Ji County.
I saw Zhang Liao standing on the high platform, with Lu Bu, Chen Dao, Pan Feng, Zhang Xiu and the five generals of Fuluo standing behind him. Looking around, they were all endless and endless cavalry formations.
"In November last year, the Xianbei people brazenly launched an attack on Xuantu County, Youzhou, resulting in the destruction of sixteen villages and the death of more than 6,000 innocent people under the butcher knife of the Xianbei people! Today, we gather here and follow the orders of the lord! The troops will go out of Youzhou to attack Xianbei!" Zhang Liao stepped forward a few steps and shouted loudly: "Those who offend my strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"
"Those who offend me a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"
The five generals Lu Bu were excited when they heard this, and raised their arms high and roared.
"Those who offend me a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"
......
First, the cavalry soldiers at the forefront responded, and then gradually spread throughout the army. Within a few miles, the slogan "Those who offend me, those who are strong in the Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" echoed.
Countless people stopped to watch, and the strong Han army showed it at this moment. Everyone was extremely excited, and some people even shed tears of excitement. The Han people finally said this sentence in public.
Zhang Shiping was also here, and he said excitedly to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, please don't worry, with me here, to ensure that the military supplies will be delivered to the frontline soldiers as soon as possible, and will never let the soldiers go hungry and fight without weapons!"
