Bai Matong ordered his subordinates to be careful, and rushed to Shuofang City with his personal guards.

-

After hearing Baimatong's report, Fu Luohan was very disapproving.

"How many riders does Lu Bu have?"

Baimatong felt the huge humiliation, and became angry from embarrassment.

"Marshal, the problem now is not how many cavalry Lu Bu has. Ma Teng could withdraw south, but he retreated east. He was clearly luring me into ambush. This is a trap. Him? He didn't come alone, he must be followed by the emperor of the Han family and Jiaqi."

Speaking of Jiaqi, Baimatong shuddered involuntarily when he thought of Yanluo who was awarded the title in World War I.

"What about the emperor of the Han family?" Fu Luohan laughed loudly. "You Huns are afraid of the emperor of the Han family, but we Xianbei people are not. Let me tell you, I just heard that the emperor of the Han family arrived in Meiji, so I chased him all the way. If I can capture the emperor of the Han family alive, I can become a real King Xianbei's accomplishments are comparable to King Tanshihuai's."

Bai Matong looked at Fu Luohan and felt that this person was a fool.

It's fine if you want to compete with your younger brother Bu Dugen, but you still want to be compared with the legendary King Tanshihuai, you must have been kicked in the head by a horse.

Baima Tong didn't persuade him any more.

At this moment, Fu Luohan is just like Zhizhi Shanyu back then. He only wants to restore the glory of his ancestors, but he doesn't know that some people are blessed by God, just like shooting stars in the sky, they pass by in a flash and will never come back.

This is true of Mao Dun, and so is Tan Shihuai.

Fuluohan's wish to be like Tanshihuai is tantamount to wishful thinking.

But this kind of person can't be persuaded. Only when he is beaten to death, or even killed, will he know that it is impossible.

"Since that's the case, please march into the army and fight the enemy with me." Bai Ma Tong admitted his cowardice very frankly. "I don't have the courage of the commander-in-chief, so I dare not take risks."

Fu Luohan smiled contemptuously. "Why bother, you just sit on the top of Xi'an Yang and watch how I can defeat the emperor of the Han family."

Baimatong couldn't ask for it, so he agreed.

Chapter 313

After a few months, Liu Xie saw Yang Xiu again, and barely recognized him at first glance.

The Yang Xiu in front of him was more robust, walking with the wind, talking loudly, full of energy, and the shock made his ears hurt.He was dressed in a knight's uniform, and when he jumped off the horse, he was more vigorous than Ma Chao beside him.

Ma Chao's repeated injuries have affected getting off and off the horse.If Lu Bu hadn't gifted him a pair of stirrups, it would have been doubtful whether he could have completed the march and arrived at the imperial camp.

After hearing Yang Xiu explain the whole story, Liu Xie immediately sent an order to the imperial physician accompanying the camp to heal Ma Chao.

Before Ma Chao came to see the ceremony, he was touched once, and secretly sighed that it was worth it this time.

After examining Ma Chao's injuries, the imperial physician frowned.

Ma Chao's injury was already serious, but the biggest problem was that he did not have a good rest and delayed treatment.Now he is still young, as long as he takes medicine on time, it is not difficult to recover.But the hidden dangers have been left, and it is inevitable that there will be soreness in cloudy and rainy days.In the future, when you are older, you may not even be able to walk.If you want to eradicate it, it is best to send it back to Meiji and take care of it for a year or so.

Ma Chao was very calm. He said with a smile that [-]% of the people in the Northwest did not live to be over [-], and old age was not a concern.

Seeing Ma Chao's insistence, Liu Xie did not refuse, but because of this he realized the importance of a good doctor.

He has an imperial doctor by his side, and the medical resources are relatively sufficient, but it pales in comparison to other troops.To put it bluntly, most of them are quack doctors, and some are even witch doctors. They can only treat simple trauma, without any ability to study or learn.

Ma Chao's injury was so severe, on the one hand, it was because he didn't have a good rest, and on the other hand, it was also caused by the lack of medical treatment.

Liu Xie said to Xun You, "Does Gongda know Hua Tuo?"

Xun You said: "Hua Tuo is a genius doctor in the Central Plains, so I naturally know him."

"You write a letter asking him to come to the imperial court. I set up a medical hall and invite him to be a doctor. As long as he can bring out enough medical craftsmen to solve the problem of medical medicine used in the army, I can do as he wishes and seal the official position." Baijue, no problem."

Xun You smiled. "Your Majesty, why bother, you just need to change the address."

"What name do you want to change?"

"Change a medical craftsman to a doctor." Xun You thought for a while, and then said: "Or you can call him a doctor. Among the six arts of a gentleman, there is archery, and there are archers and archers. Calling a doctor a doctor, a doctor, get rid of his low profession Hua Tuo's generation naturally heard of this name."

Liu Xie thought it was reasonable, so he followed suit and ordered Cai Yan to draw up an imperial edict.

Just after finishing speaking, Ma Chao limped back.

The Imperial Physician Order had just gouged out his rotten muscles and applied medicine, all of which were treasured by the Imperial Medical Office.The Imperial Physician Ling patted his chest and said that as long as Ma Chao didn't bother himself, he would be able to mount his horse and fight within a month.

Ma Chao was very grateful and insisted on kneeling on one leg to thank Liu Xie.

Liu Xie immediately announced the latest edict. From now on, doctors will no longer be called doctors, but doctors, and those who are good will be called doctors.

The imperial physician was inexplicably excited, and rushed out to inform the imperial physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the good news.

Seeing the ceremony again, Liu Xie asked Yang Xiu and Ma Chao about the latest situation on the front line.

Lu Bu went out to fight and defeated the Xiongnu striker who rushed to Chengyi in one fell swoop, and got in touch with Zhang Yang and Ma Teng.Neither Yang Xiu nor Ma Chao knew how the situation would develop next, so they could only guess.

On this point, the two have quite a disagreement.

Yang Xiu felt that although Lu Bu had achieved considerable results, the gap in strength between the two sides was still obvious.Baimatong and Fuluohan will not retreat easily, and there is still a fierce battle between the two sides, so we must proceed with caution.

Especially Baimatong, after losing the pastures around Lingzhou and the old camp of Xiu Tuze, and the Tushenze area is occupied by the Xianbei, there is a high probability that Baimatong will be trapped and fight for survival.

However, Ma Chao believes that whether it is the Huns or the Xianbei, in the final analysis, they are all rogues on the grassland.They seldom confront each other head-on. Most of them lead the Han army outside the Great Wall, and when they have to withdraw due to poor logistics, they will continue to harass and pursue them.

Even Tanshihuai, who was worshiped as a god by the Xianbei people, used this set of tactics, and almost never fought a decisive battle at the predetermined location.

Therefore, he thought that Baimatong and Fuluohan would give up their attack, retreat outside the Great Wall, and wait for an opportunity to advance again.

The two insisted on their own opinions, Liu Xie had no way of judging, and Xun You had no idea for a while.

When the debate was raging, Cai Yan, who was in charge of recording, expressed his opinion.

She raised a question: In the eyes of Baimatong and Fuluohan, is this area the territory of the Han people, or is it the pasture of the Huns and Xianbei?

If it is the latter, it is unlikely that Baimatong and Fuluohan will give up.

Liu Xie thought of the relevant records he had read recently and had an idea.

At the time of Huanling, at the latest during the reign of Emperor Ling, Wuyuan, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong in northern Xinjiang became abandoned by the imperial court. Even if a prefect was appointed, no one was willing to take up the post. county.

Henan has become a pasture for the Huns.

Now the Xianbei people are eyeing here again, and there is a tendency to replace the Huns.

Compared with the grasslands, the Henan land, which is suitable for farming and animal husbandry, is undoubtedly a rich and precious land, and its attraction to the Huns and Xianbei is beyond doubt.Even for the Han people, whether they can occupy Henan is a key factor in controlling the frontier.

Therefore, Baimatong—especially Fu Luohan, a Xianbei who has recently risen and still has an absolute psychological advantage over the Han people—should be unlikely to retreat.

Ma Chao disagreed with this opinion, but he was also very satisfied with the emperor's attitude.

When Han Sui and Ma Teng discussed the military situation, let alone him, even Ma Teng didn't have many opportunities to speak. Most of the time, he listened to what Han Sui said, and the others followed suit.

After repeated discussions, Liu Xie decided to continue to march and prepare for the battle.

"Victory in battle is not victory." Xun You was the first to put forward a point of view. "This battle should have two goals: one is to severely injure the Huns and Xianbei, so that there will be no more large-scale wars within five years; The strike is important, and the strike on the Huns' supplies is even more important."

Ma Chao looked at Xun You with a strange look in his eyes, thinking that this famous Central Plains scholar was too self-righteous and didn't know the characteristics of grassland warfare at all.

Who doesn't know the importance of logistical supplies, so you can easily find them?

He succeeded in attacking Xiu Tuze, but failed in attacking Tu Shenze. The success rate was only [-]%, and the result was achieved only with the support of information provided by Jia Xu.If you are not familiar with the terrain, your eyes will be darkened, and you will go directly to find it. There is a high probability that you will not find the opponent's supplies, but you will starve to death.

Before Ma Chao could look away, Xun You took out a map and spread it out in front of Yang Xiu and Ma Chao.

"Look, where might Baimatong and Fuluohan put their supplies?"

Ma Chao stared at the map and was stunned. "Do you have a map of Wuyuan County? When was this?"

"Provided by the Huns." Xun You said, "The Huns of Meiji Shanyuting."

Ma Chao suddenly realized that the Huns in Meiji Shanyuting had to rely on the support of the imperial court to survive. They also had the desire to defeat Baimatong and Fuluohan. It is not surprising that they provided maps for the Han army.

He immediately said: "The Xiongnu in Shan Yuting are pampered and do not necessarily know the details. This map can only be used after confirmation. Running on the grassland requires not only a map, but also people who are familiar with the grassland. I am not talented, and I am willing to be your Majesty's pioneer. "

Liu Xie laughed, stretched out his hand and pressed lightly. "You take care of your wounds. I have made arrangements for this matter."

Chapter 314

It's not that Liu Xie doesn't believe in Ma Chao's ability, but that he has a better choice.

The land of Henan was originally the grazing land on the right side of the Xiongnu.Xie Luo was beheaded before the battle, and nearly half of his subordinates were incorporated by Liu Xie. Now they are placed in Xihe County, which is like a registered household in the imperial court.

Their family lives in Xihe and has their own arable land and pastures.After five years of hard work, they can also become the subjects of the big man and move to a more affluent place.

For this reason, the price they have to pay is to provide the court with soldiers or food.

This time, Liu Xie led his troops to the expedition and conscripted two hundred elite knights with guaranteed loyalty.

Two hundred knights were not enough to complete the combat mission, but more than enough to be a guide. The map Xun You used was based on the descriptions of these knights. Compared with the maps provided by Qu Bei and others, it was indeed much more detailed and accurate.

Liu Xie intends to hand over the task of combat to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu originally had [-] riders, plus these [-] Hun knights, a total of [-] riders, it is enough to complete the task of finding the supply point of the Xianbei people.

After talking about the strategic deployment, Liu Xie asked about Yang Xiu's recent situation, especially his situation in Ma Teng's army.

Rather than Yang Xiu returning to him, he hoped that Yang Xiu could be in Ma Teng's army, just like he was in Yang Ding's army, and play a role in enlightenment, stabilize the morale of the army, and assist Ma Teng in fighting.

Facing an enemy ten times larger than himself, he didn't quite believe in Ma Teng's ability.

Although Liu Xie couldn't speak too bluntly in front of Ma Chao, Yang Xiu still understood.

"General Zhengxi came out of the army, and he has the style of a famous general. He is as close as a brother to his subordinates, sharing joys and sorrows, and able to fight hard. This journey eastward, the soldiers advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and there is no comparison. I believe that he can assist Your Majesty, with Less wins more, breaking the white horse bronze and helping Luo Han."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.

Ma Teng has extremely strict control over his subordinates, and now is not a good time to drive a wedge.

Liu Xie then asked Xun You to introduce the battle of Shaling Lake to Yang Xiu and Ma Chao.

Not only was Yang Xiu surprised and delighted to learn that the Son of Heaven had not only broken Xiluo, but had also killed him. Ma Chao was also surprised.

Fighting the Huns and Xianbei is not easy to win, but it is even more difficult to kill the opponent's general.

It was precisely because of this that he was in awe of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu cut the general in front of the battle, which was due to Lu Bu's personal bravery.

Zhang Yang beheaded Yan Luo, but it was an opportunity obtained by the emperor's strategy.Zhang Yang's personal ability is far inferior to that of Lu Bu, but with the backing of the emperor, his achievements are enough to make Lu Bu ashamed, and he deserves the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households.

In an instant, Ma Chao understood the meaning of Ma Teng asking him to come to see the emperor.

-

Two days later, Liu Xie arrived in Yiliang, less than thirty miles away from Chengyi.

Lu Bu came to meet him.

After fighting for several days in a row, Lu Bu not only didn't feel tired, but his face was radiant, sweeping away the dejection he had just arrived in Meiji.

Wei Xu, Zhang Liao and others beside him were no exception. Everyone held their heads high, smiling and full of heroism.

With the supply points provided by Zhang Yang and Ma Teng, their guerrilla operations went very smoothly and they gained a lot of money. The cumulative number of killed enemies has exceeded a thousand, which posed a major threat to the morale of the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people had already arrived at Chengyi. In order to cut off Lv Bu's logistical supplies, Fu Luohan ordered Wanqi to block the valley where Chengyi and Ma Teng were.

Baimatong is stationed in Xi'anyang, west of Chengyi.

Liu Xie immediately marked the information provided by Lu Bu on the combat map.

"According to your estimation, where might Fuluohan's supply point be?"

Lu Bu stared at the map for a while, then chatted with Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others for a while, and finally drew a circle around Shuofang City. "With Shuofang as the center, a certain lake within a radius of [-] miles. The accompanying cattle and sheep need to drink water and eat grass. Without water, they cannot live."

"I will give you two hundred Hun cavalry who are familiar with the terrain. Can you find this lake and control it?"

"It's not a problem to find it, and it's easy to destroy it, but it's a bit difficult to control it." Lu Bu stroked his chin. He didn't tidy up his face for a few days, and his beard grew thicker. "There are too few troops. Once the Xianbei counterattack, they can last for a day at most, maybe only half a day."

"Half a day is enough." Xun You said: "The premise is that before you launch an attack, you must send the news back to the imperial camp in time, leaving time for His Majesty to reinforce."

Lu Bu was a little dazed, but Zhang Liao, who was standing beside him, had a flash in his eyes and stopped talking.

"Wen Yuan, if you have any opinions, you might as well speak up." Liu Xie keenly grasped the opportunity. "Holding a military meeting is to brainstorm, and everyone has the opportunity to express their opinions."

Zhang Liao glanced at Liu Xie in surprise, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have no objection, but I think your Majesty's plan is clever, and it is in line with the meaning of criticizing extremism. If it succeeds, we can win in one battle."

Liu Xie played with the Bingzhen in his hand. "Wen Yuan has read books?"

Zhang Liao shook his head in embarrassment. "It's just enlightenment, I dare not call it reading."

"Reading is a good thing, especially history books. It can increase your knowledge and familiarize you with stories." Liu Xie looked back and said lightly: "Although I am busy, I still read books every day, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. If you want to achieve something, You also need to settle down and read some books. Xun Shizhong is knowledgeable, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask him for advice.”

Lu Bu and the others were submissive, but they didn't take it seriously.
