I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 131: Long wait

In early November 188.

After converting this time, Su Yao immediately found the answer to the question in the system event log.

Why is the imperial court recruiting troops and saying that the more the better?

I am afraid that in addition to making up for the losses in battles in recent years, the biggest reason is that in August, the court will establish a new army.

——Xiyuan Army.

This army was directly led by the emperor. It can be said that it was the last struggle of the Later Han Dynasty, and it was the emperor's hard work.

If Emperor Ling hadn't died suddenly, He Jin and Shi Changshi both died, and Dong Zhuo had come to the capital to usurp this power, the big man might have been able to survive for quite some time.

At this time, the court should be preparing for the establishment of this new army.

Unexpectedly, the days of this war went by so fast. Two months have passed.

The pace of progress must be accelerated.

From Jiuyuan to Luoyang, it is more than a thousand kilometers in a straight line. It will take more than a month to go back.

That's right, after turning his attention to Luoyang, Su Yao also set his sights on this force.

If he could have a hand in the Xiyuan Army incident, he might be able to prostitute a wave of elite members of the imperial court for free.

You must know that the Xiyuan Army is the emperor's personal soldiers. Regardless of their training level, the equipment alone is top-notch, which is very different from the miscellaneous soldiers he has!

Su Yao was moved, but he knew that all this still required hard work.

If you want to get involved in such a major event that directly affects the progress of the main line, I am afraid that the conditions will be relatively harsh.

After all, the words of a minor official are meaningless, and to lead an army alone one must meet the class threshold of two thousand dan.

Yes, the class threshold, as mentioned before, two thousand stones, was the watershed of class in the Han Dynasty, and it was the real high-ranking official.

If you reach this standard, you will be a general and a lieutenant in the court, and a prince in the local area.

For example, Wang Rou, the commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu, has a rank of two thousand dan, while the county guards and even state shepherds in various places have a rank of 2,000 dan, and then there are the guards, court captains, front, rear, left, right, etc. who have a rank of 2,000 dan. General.

In history, the Xiyuan captains were either close associates of the emperor or heroes from aristocratic families. For example, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both used the Xiyuan captain who was worth two thousand shi as their promotion ladder.

After all, the official positions in the Han Dynasty were not like the mess of redundant and idle officials in later generations after the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, no matter how great your contribution is in normal times, if there is no vacancy or no one to operate it, you will often be rewarded with money and titles, but it is difficult to be granted an official position.

Some people even bribed and spent money to buy the third official, but they were dismissed after a short period of time. It was precisely because there were too few high-ranking official positions.

The establishment of the Xiyuan Army suddenly created eight more top-level captain positions.

If he can produce outstanding results at this time, he might be able to catch up, complete the class leap in one step, and get a top-quality subordinate.

Suppressing his excitement, Su Yao first had to focus on the present.

He must hurry up to get this wave of military merit, get rid of the rebels in Bingzhou, and then return to Beijing as soon as possible to hold the prisoner presentation ceremony that can increase a lot of reputation.

Use these barbarian vassal forces at hand to meet the most basic military merit and reputation thresholds. As for whether there are any hidden conditions left, we can only look at it later.

"Target Shuofang, it's time to kill those disobedient Xianbei people."

"what??"

Yuan Shao, who was inexplicably interrupted mid-sentence, was stunned.

He paused, with a look of disbelief on his face:

"Is it time to go on an expedition??"

How many days have you just finished fighting?
Doesn’t Governor Su need some rest?
Are you really just fighting all the time?

"Soldiers are expensive and quick!"

Looking at Su Yao who charged forward and then jumped over the wall to get out of the house, Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time before finally shaking his head.

The sun is rising.

South of Yinshan Mountain, on the lush grasslands of Shuofang County, the Xianbei knights were laughing loudly, and everyone's face was filled with joy and excitement.

It can be said that the spring breeze is a happy horse's hoof disease.

Surrounding them were countless cattle and sheep, and in the middle were women tied in a string with their hands tied with ropes. These people include Han people and Huns, but their common identity now is that they are slaves of the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people's plunder of Shuofang was a great success. The Han and Hu sides, who were busy fighting among themselves, completely ignored the killer behind them. They easily achieved gains that they had never dared to imagine.

They captured more than 6,000 women and children alone, which was much smaller than the entire family they brought with them.

Therefore, the little prince Qianman is also very high-spirited. With these gains, although it cannot be said to completely make up for the losses in the previous battle, it has greatly improved the potential of his tribe.

The only regret is that they could not completely establish a foothold south of Yinshan Mountain, but it doesn't matter. When they return to the grassland outside the Great Wall, they can rest and recuperate for more than ten years.

Yes, these Xianbei people are leaving.

The reward for the previous defeat made Qian Man heartbroken.

Those two thousand cavalry were all his elite soldiers. Although there were still more than four thousand cavalry, the overall quality was already far inferior.

They are here to take advantage of the situation. What they want is loot and a good life, but they have no intention of risking their lives here.

Therefore, after massive plunder, the Xianbei people headed north, preparing to pass through the Jilucai ruins and return to the Monan grassland north of the Yinshan Mountains.

However, just when they were in the mood, a fast horse galloped over.

"Sir, Lord Qianman!"

"Oh no, Han soldiers, Han soldiers are attacking!"

"what?!"

The little prince Qianman of Xianbei shouted in shock
“Didn’t he say give ten days???”

At this time, there were still two days before the ultimatum issued by Su Yao.

Precisely because of this deadline and the news of civil strife in Wuyuan County that they had reported, Qianman's tribe was able to grab a few extra days of talent.

Now he suddenly heard the news that the Han soldiers would attack in advance, which shocked him. How could this guy not keep his word?

So he quickly asked:

"How many people came and when did they set off?"

"There are three thousand cavalry, and we attacked three days ago."

When Qian Man heard this, although he criticized the governor for not keeping his word, he still felt at ease.

This place is nearly 600 miles away from Wuyuan City. Calculating the time, it will take Han soldiers about two or three days to arrive.

It doesn't matter, they can reach Jilusai this afternoon. If they hurry up, they can cross Yinshan Mountain tomorrow.

By the time they reached Monan, on the endless prairie, the Han soldiers must have been unable to do anything against them.

When the time comes, those Han troops will only be able to look at the grassland and sigh:
"Quick, tell everyone to move quickly!"

As the order was issued, a trace of tension filled the air above this nomadic brigade.

The marauders drew out their whips and crackled their hands. Amid the wails of women and the cries of children, the speed of the team gradually increased.

Finally, it was past noon.

On the horizon at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, a dilapidated city appears in outline.
However, something unexpected happened to them.

"Han, Han flag?!"

"How can this be?!"

"Who is it? Who is there??"

This border fortress, Jilu Fortress, has been abandoned for nearly ten years. A red Chinese flag is flying high in the sky, with the Chinese character "Su" written in large letters!
"Xianbei traitor, I have been waiting here for a long time."

"What???"

After receiving the alarm, Qian Man flew out and saw the red-robed man standing high on the city without even a gate.

They stood with guns and smiled at their thousands of troops.

"You, you are Governor Su?!"
