The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 558 Meng Da
Joining forces with Zhang Ji, Chen Ziming also heaved a sigh of relief. The nearly ten thousand elite cavalry were not afraid of Xianbei soldiers and horses attacking again.

Today's Xianbei is no longer the Xianbei of a few years ago. After several wars, the population of Xianbei has dropped sharply, and the young and strong have suffered heavy losses. Now tens of thousands of cavalry can be gathered in this area, which has exceeded Chen Ziming's expectations.

After rushing all the way, he finally arrived at Yanmen Pass three days later. While he was relieved, Chen Ziming found the latest news on the grassland.

"Liu Bao, the leader of the Xiongnu led [-] Xiongnu soldiers and horses to defeat [-] Xianbei soldiers and horses. The remnants fled to the east and regrouped in the original Xianbei and Wuheng territories. ..."

After Chen Ziming understood the current situation in the grassland, he sneered. He was right about this Liu Bao. He was really capable. Not only did he use his weakness to drive Xianbei's remaining strength out of the Huns' territory, but he also wanted to use Xianbei as a shield.

According to the news sent by the dark guards, Liu Bao is now stronger than the remnants of Xianbei, but he did not continue to attack Xianbei, but allowed Xianbei to gather in the eastern region.

How can its purpose be hidden from Chen Ziming? First, it is to preserve its strength. If Liu Bao continues to attack Xianbei, although he can win, the Xiongnu will not be able to win with many soldiers. Second, if the big man wants to enter the grassland, the east will bear the brunt. Watch Dogs couldn't be better.

"Let you be proud for a while..."

Chen Ziming sneered, "The Xiongnu is just a ruthless Hun, what more trouble can it cause? When he cleans up Cao Cao and Sun Quan and dominates the Central Plains, it will annex the grassland."

"General Xu, do you really want to go back from the grassland?" Outside the Yanmen Pass, three thousand cavalrymen of the Han Dynasty were ready to go. I agree very much.

Xu Sheng said in a deep voice: "The barbarians are mere barbarians, and they can be my big Han tiger. Moreover, Xianbei soldiers and horses gather in the east, threatening Heilongzhou and other places. In the end, they need to rush back as soon as possible to prevent Xianbei soldiers and horses from harassing the people of the big Han people."

After learning that the Xianbei people gathered in the east, Xu Sheng didn't dare to stay for long. After sending Chen Ziming and others back to Yanmen Pass, he was going back to guard Heilongzhou the next day, and in order to hurry, he had to go back the way they came.

"Although Xianbei is in decline, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. General Xu must be humble." Guan Yu frowned slightly. There were only [-] cavalry who followed Xu Sheng back. Once surrounded by the Xianbei army, it was difficult to escape. Arrogant, but still know how to march in formation.

"Hahaha." Xu Sheng laughed loudly and said, "Prime Minister and General, don't worry, the last general with three thousand cavalry can come and go freely on the grassland."

After hearing Xu Sheng's words, Chen Ziming was speechless for a while. It meant that if he, Chen Ziming, hadn't been dragged down, there would have been no such tragic battle a few days ago, and Xu Sheng was quite confident in his own abilities.

"General Xu, take care all the way." I don't want to talk too much. Since Xu Sheng is confident that he can go there, Chen Ziming doesn't care too much. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he must rely on something to do such a thing. If something happens to Xu Sheng, it means Xu Sheng It's not worthy of sitting on one side, the big deal is that Chen Ziming will destroy Xianbei in the future, and just avenge him.

After bidding farewell to Xu Sheng, Chen Ziming began to inspect the northern defense line. Now the northern defense line is handed over to Zhang Ji's army. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are distributed on the defense line tens of thousands of miles long. The defense force is very weak, but today's Xiongnu and Xianbei dare not approach at all On the border of the Han Dynasty, [-] soldiers and horses are enough.

"Send more rangers to closely inspect the four places, and don't let foreign soldiers and horses enter the territory of the Han Dynasty."

"Close contact with the dark guards. If there is any change in the grassland, troops and horses will be dispatched in time to deal with it. The emperor will also send troops for reinforcements according to the situation."

Zhang Ji's army is scattered everywhere, and Yanmen Pass is the key place. With [-] soldiers and horses hoarded, the defense force is completely sufficient. With Zhang Ji's ability, it is no problem to deal with the declining Xianbei and Huns.

After leaving Yanmen Pass, Chen Ziming did not return to Linzi, but went to the north, which was the front line of defending against the Huns, where [-] elite Han troops were stationed, and the men in charge of the army were the famous generals in history, Meng Da and Mencius Du.

"The last general will join the prime minister and the general."

When Chen Ziming and Guan Yu arrived, Meng Da had already received Zhang Ji's urgent report, and he led his troops for thirty miles to respond.

Meng Da was born as a general in Yizhou. Because he served Liu Bei and made great contributions to Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou, he was worshiped by Liu Bei as a general and commanded [-] elite troops to guard the north.

Both Chen Ziming and Liu Bei didn't like this kind of seller seeking glory, but Meng Da's credit lies there, and his influence in Yizhou is not small, so Liu Bei finally rewarded him for his merits.

The [-] elite commanding general is already very worthy of Meng Da. You must know that not everyone is qualified to command the [-] elite of the big man. The [-]-member general is already a senior general of the Liu Bei Group.

In order to unify the great cause, Chen Ziming transferred all the generals who were not capable enough and not very trustworthy to the frontiers. All the generals stationed in the Central Plains were Liu Bei's elite army, and all the generals were of extraordinary ability.

Meng Da was also excluded because of this. Of course, Meng Da was named a Marquis by Liu Bei because of his contribution to the Battle of Yizhou. You must know that there are not many generals in the Ten Thousand Army Corps who have been named Marquis.

The first impression Meng Da gave to Chen Ziming was that he was loyal, not very tall, and powerful. No wonder Liu Zhang reused Meng Da. He really gave people the feeling of being a loyal minister. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang was defeated when he knew the face but did not know the heart. In the hands of Mengda.

"Is there any change in the Xiongnu?"

Chen Ziming came here to inspect Meng Da's ability to govern the army, and to learn about the defense situation here.

After hearing Chen Ziming's question, Meng Da said in a deep voice, "The general will send dozens of cavalry to keep a close watch on the various places. The Huns dare not approach the frontier within a hundred miles."

Then he said: "According to the secret report from the secret guards, Liu Bao, the leader of the Xiongnu, defeated the Xianbei people and regained control of the Xiongnu. However, there are only [-] soldiers and horses, and most of the army is old and weak, and their combat power is insufficient. There is no threat to the big man for the time being."

"Don't take it lightly. Liu Bao is ambitious. He should be closely monitored. If there is any change, report it immediately."

Liu Bao is now thousands of miles away, and Chen Ziming has nothing to do with him, but the current Liu Bao can't threaten the frontier of the Han Dynasty.

After staying in Beidi camp for two days, Chen Ziming and Guan Yu headed for Liangzhou. Beidi was not the end of Chen Ziming's trip, but they were just passing by and came to have a look.

"Meng Da is quite capable of running an army, but it is a pity that he is an unfaithful person..." Guan Yu has two evaluations of Meng Da, a little bit capable, but disloyal, and looks down on this kind of person.

Chen Ziming nodded slightly, agreeing with Guan Yu's point of view. Meng Da cannot be reused. After the world is at peace, being transferred back to be General An Le is his only ending.
