Overlord!

Sun Ce's change of founding title had a huge impact on the entire world.

In particular, the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes were all very ambitious. The remaining power of the Han Dynasty that had weighed on them in the past completely dissipated, and was replaced by the Song Dynasty whose capital was thousands of miles away!

How could the barbarians in the northern part of the Great Wall not be so ambitious and take advantage of the opportunity?

The Song Dynasty established its capital in Jiankang, which destined them to focus on the south and use their navy to expand their territory southward.

The north, thousands of miles away, would be relatively weak anyway.

Therefore, Wuhuan from the three counties took advantage of the situation and sent troops to attack Xian Yufu, who was in Yuyang.

But Xian Yufu was also very decisive and abandoned Yuyang directly and went to Jiankang to enjoy his happiness.

As a prince, he led the Youzhou army to surrender to the Song Dynasty very early, and his achievements were unparalleled. Before the Song Dynasty established a title, Xian Yufu was granted the title of more than 2,000 households due to his accumulated contributions. When the Song Dynasty established the title and officially began to ennoble meritorious officials, he would be able to grant at least 5,000 households.

And not only was he granted the title of Marquis and General, the Song Dynasty court also gave him the official position of Chief Agriculture Officer, one of the Nine Qings!

With this kind of treatment, he doesn't want to stay in the bitter cold land of Youzhou for a day.

So he handed over all his troops to Commander Tian Yu, left Youzhou, and went to Jiankang to enjoy his life.

The chief minister of the Song Dynasty had only a false name and no real power. When the "Song Guanyi" was released, the post of Jiuqing was abolished, along with the system of three ministers and nine ministers.

The Song Dynasty inherited the Han system and also used the Shangshu Tai to govern the world. However, the Shangshu Order was cancelled, and the country was governed by the Five Shangshu.

The missing part is the Ministry of Husbandry, that is, all the authority in the area of ​​Da Si Nong is given to the Third Secretary Envoy.

But the significance of Xian Yufu's promotion to the position of Chief Agriculture Officer goes beyond that. It also means that there will no longer be a rebellion in Youzhou in the north.

Although Tian Yu was more trusted by the emperor, he was too young and lacked prestige to unite the hearts of the heroes in Youzhou and lead the army as a general in the Song Dynasty. The heroes would respect his orders out of fear of the imperial court, but he wanted to Rebellion cannot suppress the princes with different hearts and minds.

However, it is impossible for Tian Yu to rebel. It was he who was running around Youzhou, saying that the one who would eventually rule the world would be the Sun family.

Now that he was at the time of harvest and deeply trusted by the emperor, how could he launch a rebellion?

The position of Colonel Huwuhuan is the same as that of City Gate Colonel. Although they are both called Colonels, they are an official position of two thousand stones and have high authority.

It can be said that he is the frontier army who alone controls the land of Youzhou today.

It is precisely because of this that the Song Army will never allow him to make mistakes.

Wuhuan besieged Kuangping for about a month. Zhuge Liang had no time to wait for more troops to gather, so he led 20,000 elite infantry and cavalry to cross the Lu River to rescue Kuangping.

Although the size of the main force of the Song Army is limited, there are many strong generals and talents in the army!

The chief general is Zhuge Liang, and his deputy is Zhang Liao, the most powerful general in the Song Dynasty. In addition, Zhao Yun leads a thousand sudden cavalry as the vanguard.

Since Guangping was within the fortress and it was March, it was the time when the Central Plains infantry was at its strongest and the Hulu war horses were weak.

After crossing the Lu River, Zhao Yun ordered his subordinates: "Today, the emperor ordered to punish the thieves. We will fight with all the armies to defeat the enemy in one battle. If the movement is delayed a little and the enemy army flees, what will be the merit of the whole army?" Follow me, Yun Che, to sweep forward and march quickly!"

With Zhao Yun's order, the Song army immediately abandoned their carts, baggage, etc. and marched at full speed.

Under the city of Guangping, the Wuhuan adults soon learned of the arrival of the Song army.

Wuhuan's attack on the city failed, and the siege lasted for more than a month, with little harvest. However, the tribesmen were tired and suffered under the city every day, and some of them had long since given up.

Now that I heard the news of the arrival of the Song army, Wuhuan Shanyu Kou Loudun immediately shouted in the tent: "The Han soldiers have arrived. We must seize the time to retreat and get out of the fortress. It is spring now, and the horses are all hungry and thin." , is not a good time to fight the Han soldiers."

His shouts were supported by a group of people.

He was Wuhuan of Youbeiping, and was named Chanyu by Yuan Shao. He had his own pasture in Youbeiping.

When I came to fight in Guangping, I just wanted to take advantage of the emptiness in the Central Plains, grab a wave, and then withdraw in time.

As for them, their ambitions are very, very limited! Being able to have the title of Chanyu and rob a Han county is already a wonderful life.

As for taking over the Central Plains and establishing a national title? That was a feat they had never dared to imagine in their dreams!

Maodun Shanyu, the most talented and strategist of the Hu people, only dared to say that he was the lord of the grassland, and never dared to think of ruling the Central Plains.

How could they, a group of small tribal leaders, dare to have the ambition to covet the fertile land of the Central Plains?

Moreover, I heard that the chaos in the Central Plains has ended, and a unified regime has emerged in the south.

His army was invincible in every battle, and with overwhelming force, he unified the entire world in just ten years.

They are a bunch of barbarians who don't want to fight with the opponent's elite main force.

At this time, Wuhuan Shanyu Nanlou, who was in the upper valley, said: "What Han soldiers? The Han Dynasty has long been dead, the Zhao Dynasty has also been destroyed, and now it is the Song army. If we don't fight with them, I just heard that they have arrived. If we wait for death and walk out of the fortress, won't we let the other side look down upon us? How can we keep our position as Shanyu?"

The interests of the three counties of Wuhuan are also inconsistent.

Youbeiping has a large territory outside the fortress, so even though Wuhuan was beaten out of Lulongsai before, they at least kept most of their pastures.

But I can’t go up to the valley!

Shanggu County is really close to Yuyang, and the entire county is within the Great Wall.

The headquarters of Huwuhuan Xiaowei is located on the Great Wall Fortress in the north of Shanggu County. Guangxian and Ningxian (Zhangjiakou) are important military towns that the Han family will definitely recapture.

Now the Wuhuan from the three counties are gathered here. If they don't fight head-on with the Song army, then when the other Wuhuan withdraw from the fortress, the Wuhuan who went up the valley will have to face the Song army's cavalry alone!

Although he was brave and resourceful in Nanlou, he was respected as Lord Wuhuan of Shanggu, and he had more than 9000 people under his command.

But with this number, even if each household had a herdsman to fight with him, it would only be nine thousand cavalry.

He was afraid that if the elite cavalry of the Han family made an attack, he would be defeated.

At this time, King Wuyan of Hanlu opened the tent, walked into the tent, and said: "Stop arguing, our troops have just found out that the Song army only has more than a thousand riders. Even if they want to escape, they need to eat these more than a thousand Song soldiers first." Riding on them will prevent them from despising us and marching into the grassland."

If the Song Army lost a thousand elite cavalry, it would be a disastrous defeat that would be painful for the Song Army.

At least within one or two years, without careful deployment, they will never dare to use troops against Wuhuan again.

Nanlou spoke decisively at this time and said: "Since Fangcai only has more than a thousand cavalry, we will eat them no matter what. I heard that the Song army is rich and their people are all wearing black armor. If they are destroyed, the iron weapons obtained will be It is enough for tens of thousands of people in the whole clan. In the future, it will be particularly convenient for cutting grass and skinning."

The Hu people all moved to gain advantage. If the 20,000 elite Song army infantry and cavalry came now, they would never fight head-on with them, and the entire army would definitely march out of the wall.

It was heard that there were only a thousand cavalrymen of the Song Army, and Qi Nanlou later expressed his willingness to lead his own 9,000 cavalrymen as the vanguard.

The Hu people were immediately persuaded, and they gathered nearly 30,000 cavalry and roared south. Two iron cavalry are walking towards each other. Even if each can only travel forty or fifty miles in an hour, the journey of a hundred miles is fleeting.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning (9 to 11 o'clock), Song Army scouts detected the enemy's military situation and immediately reported to Zhao Yun: "General, tens of thousands of Hu cavalry are rushing towards us. If the two armies continue We are facing each other, and we are about to fight in no time.”

Although there were many enemy troops, Zhao Yun was still very calm and decisively ordered: "Retreat! Retreat seven miles back, dismount and form formation."

On the way here, Zhao Yun noticed that there were many mountains in Youzhou, and there was a highland seven miles behind.

When the Song army heard that they were about to dismount and form a formation, they stopped gathering steam and quickly distanced themselves from the Hu people.

When Nanlou heard that the Song Army's cavalry had turned around and retreated, he was immediately overjoyed, thinking that the Song Army was fearful and was fleeing.

Nanlou immediately shouted an order: "My sons, pursue quickly and kill all the enemy's cavalry."

The Hu cavalry raised their bones and scimitars high, cheered to the sky, and chased southward with a roar.

For more than ten miles, the cavalry galloped wildly. In less than two-quarters of an hour, they arrived at the place where the Song army formed their formation.

On the warship, Zhao Yun ordered all the cavalry to dismount, and the remaining soldiers were stationed high, facing outwards. He personally led 300 elite cavalry to form the Nanyuan formation.

Although this highland is not high, it still has a slope of nearly 100 meters, and there are rugged gravels and dead trees in the middle. It is very difficult for the cavalry to charge with their horses.

But on the battlefield, difficulties are never just for one party.

In this terrain, once the Hu cavalry attacked, if the Song army could not withstand it, support would be impossible.

This is the true Jedi!

It can be said that once any place is broken through by the elite Wuhuan cavalry, the thousands of people can only collapse in formation and be divided and surrounded.

Nanlou looked down upon the small number of soldiers in the Song army, so he shouted an order: "The whole army surrounds the enemy on the left and right, and when the horn sounds, they all attack at the same time!"

Tens of thousands of barbarians immediately rode their horses and roared, and the barbarians were noisy and disturbed the Central Plains.

The Song troops in formation all had angry eyes and wanted to fight to the death.

As the elite divisions that founded the country and the elite cavalry, these professional warriors are unparalleled in terms of fighting spirit and assassination skills!

Those who doubt whether long spears and spears can break armor are the industrious and simple-minded trolls of later generations.

If you really look at the spear in Lian Jiazi's hand, you will know clearly that even if the spear is not equipped with a spear blade, if the spear shaft is just stabbed into the chest, it will be a tragic injury that directly breaks the ribs. A human's ribs can be broken with one punch, let alone such a professional killing weapon?

Even if he was wearing heavy armor, he couldn't stop a thrust from the four-meter-long spear.

What's more, these barbarians only wear animal skins.

The Song army they attacked was a professional martial artist who had practiced assassination techniques for many years.

The war started from Sishi to Shenshi (15:17 to : in the afternoon). Three thieves broke into the formation and could not enter.

Because of this random attack, Zhao Yun personally led the most elite iron cavalry into Hu Chen.

The two armies fought fiercely for thirty miles, fighting on this vast battlefield, but Zhao Yun's cavalry was so powerful that they were invincible among thousands of troops.

The founder of the dynasty was extremely powerful.

Although they only had three hundred elite black armored cavalry, the enemy army couldn't do anything to them. No barbarian warriors could stop the charge of these three hundred cavalry head-on.

It is even more fanciful to want to use mounted fire to block the charge of heavy cavalry.

Ten people could still shoot and retreat, but a hundred people were scattered in all directions, and a thousand people were retreating with their bows ready to shoot at the enemy. That is, the Song army was invincible, and the Hu people fled in the face of the wind.

Zhao Yun personally led a cavalry assault and killed more than ten Wuhuan kings such as King Lu and Kou Loudun Shanyu. As a result, Wuhuan's entire army collapsed.

The Song army killed thousands of people in the first battle. Tomorrow, they will regroup and advance.

So the famous king of Wuhuan in Yuyang, Kushan, and all the others came to surrender. The Song army captured more than 5,000 people and more than 60,000 cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock.

Nanlou, Wuyan and others led hundreds of horses and fled outside the fortress.

Soon the military intelligence report was sent to Zhuge Liang. After reading the military report, Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "General Zilong is full of courage. He has defeated Hu Qi. He is actually a good general in our court. I thought Hu Qi saw me. When reinforcements arrive, they will leave the fortress as soon as possible. This is the best strategy. Wandering without attacking and disturbing our food routes is the best strategy. But I never thought that he would choose his subordinates to fight my army decisively, which is really mediocre."

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Hu people are crude and ignorant, how can they behave like you and put caution first?"

Zhang Liao's words can be said to clearly summarize this victory or defeat.

If the Hu people had been more cautious and walked out of the fortress when they saw the Song army, they would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat.

However, they chose to fight to the end with the main force of the Song army on a battlefield that was conducive to infantry fighting, and suffered heavy losses as a result.

In the chaos of tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, Zhao Yun beheaded many famous kings in a battle, and the entire army collapsed.

However, although this kind of record looks magical, it is still very ordinary compared to Datang's record.

Not to mention that Li Jing's three thousand cavalry captured the Turkic Chanyu, but his apprentice Su Dingfang fought countless such disparate battles.

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang regained Guangping and reported victory to Sun Ce, Sun Ce responded with just one line of poetry: "It is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, and not to use the name of the learned overlord."

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang regained the entire territory of Yuyang, he immediately summoned everyone again and launched military deployment.

This time, Wuhuan Colonel Tian Yu also participated.

Due to the insufficient treasury of the Song Dynasty and the Song army's elite military system, Youzhou's army was reduced to only 5,000 people.

Otherwise, food and grass would not be able to supply the huge army on the frontier.

The first thing Zhuge Liang deployed was to target Tian Yu, saying: "Although there are only 5,000 people in the Wuhuan Colonel Corps, we must build up our momentum and move forward."

"From now on, Tian Xiaowei will lead his troops to march westward with great fanfare, seize the entire territory of Shanggu, and restore Wuhuan Xiaowei's old place of administration."

"The entire army must double its flags and drums, and increase its momentum to make Wuhuan think that our entire army is marching to Shanggu and Daijun."

"General Zhang personally led five thousand cavalry as the vanguard. They stopped their flags and marched straight to western Liaoning. Our army followed. In this battle, I will defeat the main force of Wuhuan in one battle and eliminate the troubles of Wuhuan in the three counties!"

The main force of Wuhuan is in the direction of Liucheng in western Liaoning, where Wang Ting has more than 200,000 people.

As long as these 200,000 people can be defeated, Northern Xinjiang can be conquered! (End of chapter)
